The report from Xiao Ling, the governor of Shuohai City, arrived in the hands of the empress.
After reading the report, the empress was happy but also worried.
By intercepting the ordnance, the ghost clan has no ordnance to use, thus eliminating a hidden danger.
However, if Li Chengdao arrived at Shuohai City and found that the weapons were gone, and became angry and started killing people in the city, the situation would be very bad.
Putting down the report, the empress frowned. ??
"I hope Long Chen intercepts Li Chengdao halfway!"
The empress could only place her hope in Long Chen.
.
Outside the Hera Pass, in the Black Forest.
A snow eagle landed in the forest. Li Man took out the fresh meat. The snow eagle landed and pecked at it. Li Man took the opportunity to untie the reed tube from his leg.
This was the snow eagle for Li Chengdao, and Li Man immediately sent it to the ice field himself.
At this time, it had not been long since Li Chengdao left. Calculating the distance, he should have only walked half the distance. Why did Snow Eagle come back?
Li Man guessed that something was wrong with Li Chengdao.
Hurrying through the Storm Canyon, Li Man entered the Ice Palace and presented the secret letter to Wu Sheng.
Opening the secret letter, Wu Sheng read it, his face uncertain.
Li Man knew that Wu Sheng was making a difficult choice.
"You step back first."
Wu Sheng stood up and Li Man withdrew.
Walking to the ghost girl's room, Wu Sheng said: "Li Chengdao has returned from delivering a letter. As expected, the little thief Long Chen knew about it and intercepted him near Panshe Mountain, north of Yanmen Pass."
Since the disappearance of the ghost fetus, the ghost girl has been worried and a little distracted.
"Got it? Didn't Li Chengdao brag that he did things without anyone noticing? How could he be discovered?"
The ghost girl didn't like Li Chengdao, so he brought Manzi back, but he couldn't find the ghost fetus.
Even, the ghost girl had some vague doubts, did Li Chengdao really kill the ghost fetus?
Once this kind of suspicion appears, it will only become more and more serious.
"Hmph, I had expected that Long Chen could guess it. The little thief is even more cunning than Long Yuan. How could the little thief not know that Li Chengdao made such a big noise?"< br>
"I was thinking that Coiling Snake Mountain is far away from Yuncheng. If I lead a sneak attack on Yuncheng, can I succeed?"
Wu Sheng has been to Coil Snake Mountain. The name of the place there has not changed for four hundred years. Wu Sheng knows how far Coil Snake Mountain is from Yuncheng.
The ghost girl said: "Since Long Chen guessed that Li Chengdao was going to Shuohai City, he might also have expected that we would attack Yun City. I'm afraid he had already taken precautions."
When fighting, you are not afraid of powerful people, but afraid of powerful and smart people, like Long Chen, who is extremely difficult to deal with.
Wu Sheng said: "So what if he guessed it? He is still on the way. There are the most Yu Wenkai and that junior in Yuncheng. If I take action, it will be easy to kill them."
The junior mentioned by Wu Sheng is the empress.
Long Chen is indeed powerful. Although the Empress has cultivated to her true state, the Martial Saint doesn't care.
The ghost girl nodded and said: "It's okay. If we break through Yuncheng, Xixia's border defense will collapse. Do you want your husband to lead the troops yourself?"
The ghost girl supports Wu Sheng's approach because she wants to send people into the hinterland to search for ghost fetuses after breaking through Yuncheng.
The last place where the ghost fetus appeared was in the north of Yangcheng. The ghost girl always felt that the ghost fetus was still hiding somewhere in Xixia.
Wu Sheng said: "Yes, I will personally lead the troops to destroy Yuncheng and let out a bad breath."
The last time Yanmen Pass was defeated, Wu Sheng was blown up beyond recognition, and this bad breath was unbearable.
Being defeated by Long Chen not only caused Wu Sheng to lose all face, but also severely damaged the confidence of the ghost clan.
They were led by a martial saint and a ghost girl. They faced a group of newly trained human warriors. The ghosts had an absolute advantage, but in the end they were completely defeated.
The ghost clan's self-confidence was shattered, and they were even a little afraid.
Those invisible bullets and sudden explosions of gunpowder are really scary.
"If you want to go to war, you have to travel day and night."
The soldiers need to be quick and attack Yuncheng before Long Chen comes back. This is the best strategy.
If you are still undecided, everything will change when Long Chen comes back.
Wu Sheng said: "I have made up my mind and will send troops immediately."
With the support of the ghost girl, Wu Sheng made up his mind to raid Yuncheng.
Coming out of the Ice Palace, Wu Sheng immediately ordered 30,000 troops, 10,000 dead soldiers, and 20,000 barbarians. This was the total strength of Wu Sheng.
The dead soldiers are the backbone of the battle, while the barbarians have just been trained and need to be tempered in battle before they can become real ghost soldiers.
Thirty thousand soldiers and horses were prepared, and Wu Sheng personally led the troops to leave the ice field and enter the Storm Canyon.
The priest demon spirit watched the Martial Saint leave with an army of 30,000 people, and silently prayed in his heart: We must break the Cloud City!
Since the war, the Ghost Clan has never won. They were killed by Long Chen everywhere and lost their armor. The generals of the Ghost Clan suffered heavy casualties, and all the generals under Wu Sheng were gone. ??
The ghost tribe needs a victory to boost the confidence of the entire army.
When Yue Wei heard the news of troops being sent out, she struggled to get out of the igloo. Watching the Martial Saint army leave, Yue Wei had a very complicated expression.
She wanted to take revenge and go out with the army, but Long Chen was so terrifying that she was scared when she thought about it.
"Master Priest, where is the king going?"
Yue Wei walked to the demon spirit, and the demon spirit looked at Yue Wei's empty shoulders and said: "The king personally led the troops to raid Yuncheng, killing Long Chen by surprise."
Yue Wei looked at the team and whispered: "Can the king kill Long Chen?"
The demon thought for a moment and did not answer Yue Wei's question.
Who can kill Long Chen? No one can answer this question.
The Martial Saint army quickly passed through the Storm Canyon and arrived outside the Hera Pass.
The north wind blew out from the Hera Pass, and ice and snow covered hundreds of miles around. It was already a world of ice and snow.
"Li Man!"
Wu Sheng shouted, and Li Man immediately stepped forward and worshiped: "My lord."
Wu Sheng said: "This king orders you to be the vanguard general, leading a thousand troops to open the way!"
The vanguard general Xia Feng died in battle, and the general Qin who broke the formation When Hao disappeared and no one was available, Li Man became the vanguard general.
As the saying goes, there are no generals in Shu, so Liao Hua became the vanguard.
Wu Sheng has no generals left under his command.
Li Man knew that his martial arts skills were not enough to serve as a vanguard general, but he had no choice.
"The last general takes command!"
Regardless of whether it works or not, Li Man will not give up if the Martial Saint orders the general.
A thousand dead soldiers were ordered, and Li Man led the way to the front.
The vanguard force was small in number, because Li Man's mission was to investigate the situation and prevent an ambush, and he did not expect Li Man and Long Chen to fight.
Of course Li Man knew the intention, so he didn't mind having too few troops.
Li Man explored the road ahead, and Wu Sheng led the army to attack southward.
The ghost army was moving, and after Feng He detected it, he quickly sent a letter about the incident.
"General Feng, didn't you say that the ghost army will not take action until winter comes? Why did it come out?"
The spies under his command were very surprised, as this was inconsistent with Long Chen's judgment.
Feng He said: "Perhaps the target this time is Yuncheng, not a full force, but a surprise attack."
Feng He heard that Long Chen left Yanmen Pass, and the ghost clan obviously also knew about it.
"Immediately send a message to Yanmen Pass and Yuncheng, telling them that Wu Sheng has led more than 30,000 troops."
The spies under my command asked: "Does Yuncheng also want to send a message?"
Generally speaking, information is only given to the empress at Yanmen Pass. The empress will decide whether to inform Yuncheng after reading it.
But this time, Feng He decided to make his own decisions.
Wu Sheng's march route was directed towards Yuncheng, so Feng He also sent a message to Yuncheng.
This is the intuition of an experienced person. Others will only send letters to Yanmen Pass, but Feng He is different. He also sends letters to Yuncheng.
"If the ghost clan's target is Yuncheng, it will be too slow to relay it through Yanmen Pass, so we must tell Yuncheng directly!"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"
Feng He ordered the spies to immediately release two faith eagles.
