It was getting dark, and the barbarian army led by Tu Zhi waited for a long time, but no ghost soldiers were seen crossing the mountains.
People from the Tu tribe made inquiries, and the news they got was that the Long family army defeated the ghost soldiers, and Long Chen defeated Wu Sheng and the ghost girl.
"Chanyu, are we still waiting?"
Tuzhi's general Basi was very anxious.
In the last battle, the barbarians lost face, and they all hoped to regain it in this battle.
"We can't get through it."
Tu Zhi was also anxious, but the cavalry could not cross the mountainous terrain.
Basi said: "How about we exit from the front?"
Tu Zhi still shook his head and said: "There is thick snow outside the pass, and our cavalry still can't walk."
The wind and snow this winter were extremely heavy, and it was useless for the cavalry to rush out. The horses' hooves got stuck in the snow, and the cavalry turned into infantry.
"Princess, what do you think?"
Tu Zhi turned to ask Shi Jingxiang.
"Don't be anxious. Our advantage lies in the cavalry. It would be unwise to give up our advantage and choose infantry fighting."
Shi Jingxiang did not agree with the idea of rashly going to war.
When Tu Zhi was restless, Yu Fuguo walked by in a hurry.
The fire in the camp has been put out, order has been restored, and the firearms in the armory are safe.
When the empress and Li Chengdao were fighting, Yu Fuguo guarded the firearms in the armory for fear of being set alight.
If those explosives were ignited, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, God bless and the armory is safe.
The Yufu Kingdom found Gan Zhen and Bai Tingting and said, "Two generals, it's getting dark and the army has not returned yet. I plan to send reinforcements to support the army and at least bring some torches for lighting. It's too dark at night."
The howling cold wind blew by, and Bai Tingting said: "I'm afraid the torch will be blown out, so take the kerosene lamp over, one for each person."
The Ministry of Industry has refined kerosene and can also make glass, so kerosene lamps are easy to make.
Compared with torches, kerosene lamps last longer and are more wind-resistant.
Yufuguo will arrange it immediately.
Gan Zhen said: "Li Chengdao probably won't come. Let's go to meet King Wu."
Bai Tingting thought it was okay and immediately mobilized five thousand soldiers. Yu Fuguo arranged kerosene lamps and walked towards the mountains to the east.
...
north.
More than a hundred people under Yin Lingxiao's sect were chasing three ghost soldiers. The disciples took out their crossbows and aimed them. Yin Lingxiao shouted: "Don't shoot at vital points."
Their crossbows were taken from the armory, with the demon-suppressing stone as the arrowhead and the sacred tree as the arrow shaft. If it hits the vital part of the ghost soldier, it will soon spontaneously ignite.
call out!
The crossbow arrow flew out and hit the ghost soldier's leg. The ghost soldier screamed and fell to the ground. An elder flew over and slashed at the ghost soldier with the iron knife in his hand.
He has weapons made by the sacred tree, but he doesn't use them because the ghost soldiers killed by the sacred tree will turn into a pile of ashes.
When the iron sword fell, the ghost soldier suddenly turned over and pierced the elder's body with the bone sword in his hand. The elder screamed and was killed on the spot.
Others were startled and shouted: "Be careful!"
A hook rope flew out and entangled the ghost soldier's hand. Another person hit the bone sword with an iron whip. Only then did someone rush forward and cut off the ghost soldier's leg that was shot.
More than a dozen iron feather arrows shot through the body of the ghost soldier, who screamed in agony.
"Take it!"
Yin Lingxiao flew over and stepped on the ghost soldier's body excitedly.
In their opinion, these ghost soldiers are extremely precious elixirs, which can be greatly replenished and their cultivation level will skyrocket.
The ghost soldier was tortured until he was almost dead, with iron chains piercing his bones and ribs, and he was held captive by his disciples.
Yin Lingxiao and his disciples have captured fifteen ghost soldiers and gained a lot.
Of course, he also paid a heavy price, with more than fifty disciples and elders killed in battle.
Even if these ghost soldiers flee in a hurry, they still have strong fighting power and will be killed if they are not careful.
When Yin Lingxiao was chasing him, the other sects were like hunting dogs chasing a hare, chasing him crazily, even more vigorously than the Zhou soldiers.
The sky gradually darkened, the horn of truce sounded, and the people in the rivers and lakes slowly stopped.
They did not dare to pursue them alone and had to follow the Zhou army.
"It's too dark to see."
Most of the people in these rivers and lakes are not half-ghosts. Their eyesight at night is very poor, and they are almost blind after dark.
"Take out the prepared luminous pearls."
Some people brought night-light pearls, but the number was very limited and the lighting range was not large.
"Follow the Zhou army. If they leave, we will leave too."
Smart people began to move closer to the Zhou army.
After a while.
Several fire dragons appeared in the south, Yu Fuguo and Gan Xin, and reinforcements led by Bai Tingting arrived.
More than five thousand soldiers walked forward carrying kerosene lamps, like fireflies in the dark night.
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
The soldier lying in the snow sat up happily when he saw the kerosene lamp.
In the dark night, light can always give people hope and security.
Emperor Lingyi, Wu Jian and other generals are discussing whether to return to Yanmen Pass first or stay here overnight and continue the pursuit tomorrow.
When he saw the kerosene lamp coming, Emperor Lingyi stood up and three people from Yu Fuguo came over.
"Meet the third princess."
Emperor Lingyi said: "There is no light in Zhengchou, so you came."
Yu Fuguo said: "It was dark and windy at night, so we came here. King Wu asked the Ministry of Industry to prepare these, and we finally used them."
The cold wind was blowing, and Wu Jian said: "Princess, I suggest you go back to Yanmen Pass first. The wind and snow at night are too strong."
Emperor Lingyi glanced to the north and said worriedly: "Neither the Queen Mother nor King Wu came back..."
Long Chen and the Empress were chasing the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl, but they still haven't returned and they don't know what the situation is. Emperor Lingyi wanted to lead his troops to chase them all night long.
But it was snowing heavily at night and it was too dark, so there was nothing we could do.
"Let's start again early tomorrow morning. The soldiers have been fighting for too long today and are all very tired."
Hu Feiyang said something.
Di Lingyi nodded slightly and said, "Go back."
The Long Family Army blew the horn, but this time the rhythm was different. Everyone heard the sound and knew it was the horn sound returning to Yanmen Pass.
The army quickly assembled, and five thousand soldiers with lamps were assigned to various military camps.
An hour later, the formation was completed. The Long Family Army, Beida Camp and Nanliang Army returned south, and the people in the Jianghu followed them.
When we returned to the ridge, there was a bonfire on the mountain and the view became better.
After crossing numerous ridges, the army headed back.
The soldiers on the ridge came out from the fortress and greeted everyone. They had won the battle and everyone was very happy.
Di Luoxi was waiting for Di Lingyi to come back. Zhang Qian stepped forward to support Di Luoxi and asked, "Is the princess okay?"
Di Luoxi sighed and said, "The poison has been cured, but I missed this battle."
Wu Chuchu said: "What did the princess miss? If the princess hadn't led the troops in the first place, how would we have fought in?"
Di Luoxi knew that they were comforting her and said, "Go back and take this bitch back. I will torture her."
Qingyue and Xuanyi tied up Yueling and escorted them back to Yanmen Pass.
Returning to the military camp, the soldiers rested separately, and the wounded soldiers were sent to the pharmacy for treatment.
This time, many ghost soldiers were captured, and the flesh and blood of the wounded soldiers were recovered.
Emperor Lingyi and the generals returned to the meeting hall and sat down. The seat at the head was empty, where the empress' seat was.
Di Lingyi sat first on the left, Wu Jian, Hu Feiyang, Zhang Qian and other generals took their seats one after another, and Tu Zhi also slowly sat down.
There was joy on everyone's faces.
After defeating the ghost soldiers today, the ghost clan will no longer dare to take the initiative to attack in the future. When spring comes, according to Long Chen's plan, they can counterattack the ghost clan's lair.
Only Tuzhi looked ugly and kept his head down silently after entering the door and taking a seat.
Everyone was beaten, but the barbarians waited stupidly.
