The letter eagle sent by Feng He landed at the pass, and the officials who received the information immediately ran up the pass and delivered it to the empress.
The empress was discussing with Long Chen how to deal with Wu Sheng's sudden attack on the east side.
"Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from the West Factory."
Reed pipes come in different colors, representing different levels of urgency.
This reed pipe is red, indicating the highest level of urgency.
The empress took the reed pipe and pulled out the message. There was only one sentence in it: The Martial Saint attacks the east side.
"Feng He has already seen it."
The empress handed the letter to Long Chen. After reading it, Long Chen said: "That's it this time. Your Majesty must be careful about Li Chengdao. The two sisters protect your Majesty. You should also be careful yourself. Especially the Xuanwu Sword. It will automatically find its target. It will definitely
Be careful, just hang on to him and wait for me to come back!"
Long Chen did not take everyone away, leaving Ziyun and Miaoyin behind to plunder the formation for the Empress.
"Okay, be careful too!"
Military aircraft race against time, and the empress is not an indecisive person, so she immediately agreed to Long Chen's suggestion.
The empress immediately ordered all the generals to assemble.
Soon, Wu Jian, Di Luoxi, Di Lingyi, Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali, Wu Chuchu, Wu Xiangyun, Qiu Kuohai, Hu Feiyang, Luo Qiwei, and Tu Zhi arrived.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, King Wu."
Everyone saluted, Long Chen waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, Wu Sheng suddenly changed the direction of the main attack and led 130,000 ghost soldiers to attack the east position. You should immediately unite your troops and follow me to fight!"
When the generals heard this, they were very surprised. The military report they had just received said that Wu Sheng was attacking from the north. The explosions were also heard. Everyone was ready to fight head-on.
Unexpectedly, Wu Sheng suddenly changed the direction of his attack and invaded Yanmen Pass from the east. Everyone was surprised.
"Why did you suddenly change the direction of your main attack?"
Di Luoxi felt very strange.
Long Chen said: "I led the Anti-Lin Army out just now. Wu Sheng was frightened by the explosives and changed his combat strategy."
"Martial Saint, Ghost Girl" There are no generals under their command. Their advantage lies in their powerful soldiers, so they have to rely more on firearms to kill and less on close combat."
"Once the troops come into close combat, the generals should take the lead in using momentum to defeat the enemy's morale."
These words have already explained that the ghost clan has no generals, and its advantage lies in the high cultivation level of the ghost soldiers.
If the general can take the lead in defeating the vanguard of the ghost soldiers, the ghost soldiers will be confused or even defeated, and the situation on the battlefield can be controlled well.
Ordinary melee combat will definitely not kill the ghost soldiers.
"Major General, are you going to fight against the Martial Saint, Ghost Girl, alone?"
Others were still thinking about how to deal with the ghost clan, and Wu Jian immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Yes, Li Chengdao leads the puppet attack from the front, and the Holy One must guard the pass."
"Li Chengdao's current cultivation level is no worse than that of the Martial Saint. I just fought against him."
Long Chen answered Wu Jian very definitely.
There is no need to avoid such things.
Wu Jian's face was very solemn. Long Chen faced Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl alone. This was too stressful and too dangerous.
"We will deal with the ghost girl, and my husband will deal with the martial saint."
Di Luoxi thought that Long Chen and the Empress would go together, but she didn't expect that Long Chen would face it alone, and immediately planned to surround the ghost girl with her own gang.
Long Chen immediately said: "Don't be ridiculous, your mission is to defeat the ghost soldiers, it's best to destroy them!"
"As for the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl, I also want to test the power of this holy sword!"
Zhang Qian felt that there was something in Long Chen's words and asked: "Don't you know the power of the Holy Sword? Is there anything else?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "This sword does not belong to the ghost girl. It belongs to the beast tribe of the ice field. I know some things that the ghost girl does not know."
Emperor Lingyi asked: "Did the holy beast tell you?
"
Long Chen smiled slightly.
When he was in Yuncheng, Long Chen chatted with the Holy Beast for a long time in the ice cellar, and talked a lot.
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi looked at the empress. The empress nodded slightly and said: "On the battlefield, everything is subject to King Wu's control. You are not allowed to make arbitrary decisions!"
The empress believed that Long Chen could fight his way out of desperate situations.
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi's cultivation is only in the real realm, so it is unrealistic to rely on large numbers of people to besiege the ghost girl.
When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, it is useless if there are too many people, and it is just a matter of death. .??.
Di Luoxi asked: "Are you sure? Don't take risks. If you die, I will be a widow!"
Emperor Lingyi's face turned dark when he heard this, and he immediately said: "Bah, bah, bah! What are you talking about! No matter how dangerous it is, King Wu can always come out, and it will be the same this time!"
The empress also felt very embarrassed.
However, when Di Luoxi said this, the other generals breathed a sigh of relief.
Long Chen doesn't do anything he's not sure about. If he dares to do one-on-one, he must be prepared for one-on-two.
"No more words, gather the troops immediately and follow me!"
"Luo Xi leads the Long family army at the front, Jiali leads the crossbow battalion and musketry battalion, and the artillery battalion follows. The artillery is too heavy, so we use projectiles. There are mountains on the east side. We are condescending, and projectiles are more useful."
The artillery is too heavy to lift up, so a projectile cannon would be better.
Of course, there are also artillery and forts on the ridge on the east side, but there are not as many as on the front and west side.
"Lingyi, your Beida camp will then press forward. The two veteran generals and the Nanliang Army will cooperate with the Beida camp and obey Lingyi's command."
Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai cupped their hands and said, "Don't worry, it's no problem!"
After this period of time, there is no longer any grudge between the two.
The Nanliang soldiers under his command also admired Long Chen. They no longer regarded him as a rebel or rebellious, and were willing to accept orders.
"The Chanyu has many cavalry under his command, and fighting in the mountains will be disadvantageous to you. , you stay on standby on the east side, and if the ghosts break through the mountain, you will take action again."
Long Chen said to Tu Zhi.
The barbarian army is almost entirely made up of cavalry. They are not good at fighting in the mountains, so charging forward will be ineffective.
Place it at the foot of the mountain on the south side. If the ghost soldiers cross the ridge, the cavalry can charge.
If Long Chen fights well and the ghost soldiers retreat, the barbarian cavalry can quickly leave the border to pursue them.
Tu Zhi's expression was a little disappointed. The barbarians didn't fight well last time. This time he wanted to save face, but Long Chen asked him to stay behind again.
However, the barbarian warriors are really not good at fighting in the mountains, and they will most likely die if they charge into them.
"Take orders."
Tu Zhi bowed his hands and bowed.
"Chanyu, don't think too much. You wolf warriors are good at riding and shooting. You will suffer in mountain warfare."
"If the defense line is breached, it will be up to you to stop it."
Long Chen knew that Tu Zhi had something on his mind, so he went out of his way to comfort him.
"Thank you King Wu for your understanding."
Tu Zhi smiled and was grateful to Long Chen for explaining so that others would not look down on him.
"I'll go there first! The troops will come as soon as they are assembled."
After saying that, Long Chen immediately ran to the east side.
The empress asked the generals to prepare to follow immediately, and the generals immediately gathered their troops.
"Old Wu, tell Yu Fuguo that if firearms are shipped to the east, they must ensure that there are enough weapons!"
The Yufu State is responsible for ordnance logistics. The east side is mountainous and snowy, making it difficult to transport firearms. The empress specifically explained this.
"Accept the decree."
Wu Jian was more anxious than the Empress, so he jumped directly from the pass and went straight to the armory.
Long Chen wanted to fight one against two, and Wu Jian was extremely anxious, fearing that something would go wrong with Long Chen.
Although Long Chen had picked up many girls over the years, only Bai Xue gave birth to a son. Wu Jian was afraid that Long Chen would be killed in battle and the blood of the Long family would remain in the Holy Snow Peak, and that would be the end of it.
