Liu Feibai rode on horseback and led his deputy Li Wenquan and others to greet him at the east gate.
Xu Feng is wearing black armor, and behind him is a well-equipped black armor army.
One hundred thousand elite soldiers, all wearing black armor, long spears, waist knives, crossbows and all the equipment are the best in Nanliang.
These are the emperor's personal soldiers.
The black-armored army appeared, and the huge sense of oppression made the soldiers in the city dare not make any noise.
"General Xu."
Liu Feibai patted his horse and went forward to salute, and all the generals behind him followed suit.
Xu Feng ignored it, just responded coldly, and led the generals behind him into the city. The black-armored army was stationed outside the city.
Xu Feng was a veteran general of Nanliang and a dragon-protecting general with a high status. A junior like Liu Feibai was not in Xu Feng's eyes.
Seeing Xu Feng's cold and arrogant look, the generals below were quite dissatisfied.
"General Liu, this Xu Feng is too arrogant."
"If someone dares to take the initiative to ask for a fight, of course he is proud."
"The Black Armored Army is the elite of Nanliang. Do you think you are just joking?"
"Whether they are elite or not, you will know after fighting. The soldiers in the Five Tiger General's Mansion are all elite. What is left?"
The generals laughed at each other, secretly hoping that the Black Armored Army would be defeated and Xu Feng's arrogance be killed.
Liu Feibai was also unhappy. He had low qualifications and could not compare with veterans like Xu Feng, but he fought through his strength, rather than rebelling with Li Chengdao and getting mixed up with Conglong.
"Say less."
Liu Feibai scolded him coldly, and the generals shut up and walked towards the general's mansion.
Entering the lobby of the mansion, Xu Feng sat at the head, and his generals sat one after another, leaving no space for Liu Feibai.
It stands to reason that Xu Feng should take the main seat. This is no problem. He is a veteran.
But the second spot should be given to Liu Feibai, but Xu Feng did not do so, which is obviously looking down on others.
The generals behind him were unhappy and waited for Liu Feibai's orders.
Liu Feibai didn't say a word, turned around and left with the generals.
When they got outside, the generals were cursing each other.
"The doves occupy the magpie's nest, so rampant!"
"Damn it, let him fight it by himself, I'll just watch!"
"Huh, General Protecting the Dragon is so proud!"
Everyone laughed at him.
Liu Feibai said coldly: "Guard your own camp and do whatever you have to do."
Everyone dispersed.
In the general's mansion, Xu Feng watched Liu Feibai leave without saying anything.
This time, he didn't expect Liu Feibai to help.
"Immediately write a letter of challenge to Long Chen. I will fight to the death with the Long Family Army in Zhongwucheng!"
The men immediately went to Linhu City to issue a declaration of war.
Qingren County.
Xu Feng went there for two days and figured he should have arrived at Zhongwucheng.
Feng Erniang was a little confused and said: "Master, with Xu Feng's cultivation, he is definitely no match for Long Chen when he leads troops to reinforce Zhongwucheng alone. Why does master still let him go and give him 200,000 soldiers?"
Guiti looked to the west and said: "This is to embolden everyone and tell them not to be afraid. The Long family's army is also a human being."
Since the war, Nanliang has suffered repeated defeats. The soldiers' expressions have changed, and the army has no fighting spirit.
The fact that Xu Feng dared to stand up was an attitude that showed that he was not afraid of Long Chen and that the Black Armored Army dared to fight the Long Family Army.
"I have been thinking these days that there is something wrong with our strategy. We have always focused on defense and have not taken the initiative to attack."
"All in all, Long Chen only has one advantage, that is, he has one more real-level strongman, that's all."
"I have an army of millions in my hands and cannot be led around by the nose."
"Xu Feng is my first chess piece, and I am going to start a counterattack."
Guitai felt that his strategy was wrong. He had millions of troops, but was beaten by Long Chen. He wanted to change his strategy and choose to take the initiative to attack.
Feng Erniang echoed: "Long Chen only has 200,000 elite Long family troops in his hands."
Guitai nodded and said: "Yes, the Black Armor Army is the most elite army in Nanliang. I want to see who is stronger between the Black Armor Army and the Long Family Army."
Guite wanted to consume the Long family army, so he asked Xu Feng to fight.
Feng Erniang said: "What if Long Chen adopts the method of beheading and the black armored army is leaderless?"
Since the battle, Long Chen has sneaked into the city several times to kill the general, and then attacked the city.
Feng Erniang was worried that Long Chen would follow suit.
Guitai said: "I have sent Li Chengdao and Xuan Jizi. The three of them should be able to withstand Long Chen together."
Feng Erniang thought to herself: The three of them can deal with the empress, but they can't deal with Long Chen.
Seeing Feng Erniang's worry, Guitai smiled and said, "I have other arrangements, Zhongwucheng is fine."
Feng Erniang didn't know what Guitei meant. She guessed that Guitei had sent experts to take charge.
"Starting now, the offensive and defensive momentum changes."
The ghost sneered.
Linhu City.
A letter of war was placed on Long Chen's table. A soldier in black armor was arrogant, pointed at Long Chen and cursed: "Traitor Long Chen, you have been favored by the country in your life, but you don't want to serve the country, but instead lead troops to invade."
Daliang, the crime cannot be punished!"
"General Hulong has set up a military formation in Zhongwu City. If you have the guts, come and fight! Bah!"
The soldier cursed him so much that he spit, Gan Zhen drew his sword and shouted: "Sir, please behead this thief and hang it outside the door!"
Long Chen smiled and said: "The two countries are at war. If we don't kill the envoy, what's the point of killing him as a mere pawn?"
The soldiers scolding people like this is just to anger Long Chen. It's a small trick, but Long Chen won't fall into the trap.
"How long have you been in Xu Feng's army?"
Long Chen asked with a smile.
The soldier scolded coldly: "I have been under General Xu for 15 years!"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Then you should know about the Long Family Army."
The soldier spat: "Of course I know, a bunch of traitors!"
Gan Zhen's teeth were itching after hearing this, and he was ready to draw his sword to kill at any time.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Back then, my Long family army fought in all directions and expanded its territory, but in the end we were framed and died in Bailang Mountain."
"I should have become a rebel and rebelled against Li Chengdao's rule long ago, so that my brothers would not die tragically."
"Li Chengdao has now become the lackey of the ghost. You are just like the Long Family Army back then. You are all abandoned sons."
"Go back and tell Xu Feng that I know about it. You can also go back and tell the other brothers. If you eat a few more mouthfuls of food, your head will be gone soon."
The soldier spat again, turned around and left the room to go back.
Gan Zhen was so angry that he said, "Sir, this kind of person should be killed."
Long Chen smiled and said: "It's useless to kill him. Xu Feng actually dared to declare a challenge. It's strange. What is this guy thinking?"
Spreading out the map, Long Chen took a closer look. Linhu City was far from Zhongwucheng. According to the normal marching speed, it would take three days to reach it.
There is no support from other large cities around Zhongwu City, so it can easily be besieged.
"Xu Feng has 300,000 soldiers, plus Liu Feibai has more than 200,000. In other words, there are almost 500,000 soldiers and horses in the city."
"Is this the reason why Xu Feng issued a challenge?"
Long Chen felt a little strange. These alone were far from enough to make Xu Feng arrogant.
"Is the ghost fetus in the city?"
Gan Zhen asked.
Long Chen shook his head slightly and said: "No, Guite should be based in Qingren County. There are only Xu Feng and Liu Feibai in Zhongwucheng."
At this moment, He Juntao walked in and said, "Sir, I just received news that Li Chengdao and Xuan Jizi are reinforcing Zhongwucheng."
Gan Zhen suddenly said: "Oh, so Li Chengdao is in the city, but so what if Li Chengdao is in the city? You can still kill them."
Everyone knows how powerful Long Chen is, and Li Chengdao can't stop Long Chen at all.
"That's strange. Is there any other news?"
Long Chen asked.
He Juntao shook his head slightly and said, "No more for now."
Long Chen took the letter of challenge on the table and said, "You continue to inquire, I think it's a little strange. Gan Zhen went to inform others to discuss matters with the Holy Emperor."
Gan Zhen immediately went out to look for someone, and Long Chen took the letter of challenge to find the empress.
