A wave of crossbow arrows fell, killing dozens of more than five hundred ghost soldiers.
After yesterday's battle, these ghost soldiers learned to avoid crossbow arrows.
"Cum again!"
Dugu Jiali shouted, and the crossbowmen fired again, and random arrows flew towards the ghost soldiers.
When the first wave of random arrows landed, the ghost soldiers had already scattered and fled. The second wave of random arrows fell, only hitting a few ghost soldiers.
"kill!"
Di Luoxi was the first to rush forward with the big tree made of sacred wood, followed closely by Zhang Qian, Qingyue, and Xuan Yi.
Being poisoned by Yue Ling yesterday, Di Luoxi was furious and wanted to vent her anger.
Di Luoxi was very fast and caught up with a ghost soldier. He thrust forward, and the ghost soldier's body was pierced, and it immediately started to smoke and combust.
Zhang Qian and a group of military generals followed and killed dozens of them quickly. The Long family army opened the encirclement net and stopped the remaining ghost soldiers.
The ghost soldiers did not dare to escape in other directions, so they all headed northwest.
They couldn't tell the direction, but they knew that as long as it was opposite to the Long Family Army, it was right.
The Jianghu people following Long Jiajun looked at the ashes on the ground and shouted that it was a pity.
"Don't kill him, leave his body intact."
"It's a pity, it's a pity, leaving a body behind."
They wanted to get the bodies of the ghost soldiers, but the ashes were of no use to them. The Long Family Army felt distressed when they killed the ghost soldiers.
Of course, Di Luoxi ignored these people's thoughts and led the Long family army in pursuit for more than ten miles. Almost all the five hundred ghost soldiers were killed, and some fish that slipped through the net escaped.
Wu Jian stopped and said: "Princess, take a rest, brothers are tired."
After chasing for more than ten miles, the snow on the ground was too thick and everyone was tired.
Di Luoxi stopped, Zhang Qian and the other generals also stopped.
"Princess, the ghost soldiers have dispersed. I'm afraid it won't be good for us to pursue them like this."
"I suggest breaking it into parts, with a thousand people in units, led by generals, and divided into ten teams to pursue and kill. This way, the scope will be wider."
Gan Zhen felt that it was too wasteful for the 10,000 Long family troops to chase down the 500 ghost soldiers, which consumed their physical strength but resulted in very few kills.
Wu Jian said: "I agree with Gan Zhen's idea. Divide into more teams so that the pursuit can be faster."
Di Luoxi said: "Okay, then we will divide them into ten teams, one thousand people per team."
Wu Jian immediately sent an order, and the 10,000 Long Family Army was divided into ten teams. Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali, Wu Chuchu, Wu Xiangyun and Bai Tingting each led the troops.
Di Luoxi and Wu Jian led their own troops, Qingyue Xuanyi led a small team together, Gan Zhen led the reverse scale army and led one team, and Han Ziping and Tang Heizi led one team.
There are ten teams in total. After being divided, they set off immediately to continue the pursuit.
The Long family army separated, and the people in the Jianghu who followed were in trouble, who were they following?
Di Luoxi had the highest cultivation level, and in the end these people chose to follow Di Luoxi.
Choosing to follow Di Luoxi, in addition to her high level of cultivation, there is another point, that is, logistics priority is given to Di Luoxi, and they have advantages in following.
...
Wu Sheng slowly walked southeast and soon encountered the first wave of defeated ghost soldiers.
These fleeing ghost soldiers marched far north after a night of mindless marching.
When they saw Wu Sheng, these ghost soldiers shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
When they were in the ice field, these ghost soldiers looked down on the martial saint and only had eyes for the ghost girl.
After yesterday's fighting, they finally regarded Wu Sheng as their king.
People's feelings are gained from common experiences. Only those who share joys and sorrows will have deep feelings.
"How many more of you are there?"
Wu Sheng did not dislike it. At this time, he was very happy to meet the ghost soldiers.
"There are only a thousand of us left. We are looking for General Yuelang. It's too dark at night and we can't find him."
These people are the ghost soldiers under Yue Lang.
Wu Sheng consoled him: "It's okay. You continue to the northwest. That is the direction of the Holy Land. Don't stay. The humans will definitely chase you."
Pointing to the northwest, Wu Sheng was very peaceful.
"Do you want to go back, Your Majesty? It's too dangerous."
The ghost soldiers are also very concerned about the safety of Wu Sheng.
"It's okay, don't worry, I fell into a trick yesterday, Long Chen's little thief is nothing."
"You continue to walk northwest, we will meet at the Holy Land Military Camp."
The ghost soldiers nodded excitedly, and more than a thousand ghost soldiers continued walking northwest.
Watching the ghost soldiers leave, Wu Sheng felt sad in his heart.
It was worth hundreds of thousands when we set out, but now it's down to nothing.
Continuing to walk southeast, Wu Shenglu met other ghost soldiers one after another. Wu Sheng comforted them and asked them to continue retreating to the northwest.
...
When Wu Sheng was walking to the southeast, the ghost girl was also heading to the southeast.
After walking some distance, the ghost girl also encountered the retreating ghost soldiers.
When these ghost warriors saw the ghost girl, they cried excitedly: "Greetings to your majesty."
When the ghost girl saw her people, she was also very sad and said, "It's my fault that I didn't protect you well."
This is the first time that the ghost girl says she is at fault.
Four hundred years ago, the war with Long Yuan was so miserable that the ghost girl never said that she was wrong.
But this time, the ghost girl really felt guilty. She felt sorry for the ghost soldiers.
"Your Majesty is right, it's Long Chen's fault, that thief is too powerful."
The ghost soldiers did not complain about the ghost girl. They knew that the ghost girl tried her best and it was Long Chen who was too powerful.
A female ghost soldier saw that the ghost girl had no pants on her legs, so she immediately took off her animal skin clothes and gave them to the ghost girl.
"Your Majesty, don't dislike it."
The ghost girl took the animal skin clothes and put them on, looking very shabby.
"Have you met the high priest?"
The ghost girl is not too worried about Wu Sheng, he will definitely not die, but the devil spirit is different, she will probably be killed by Long Chen.
"I haven't seen the high priest. I haven't seen him since we separated."
The demon spirit and Li Chengdao rushed forward with the puppet. The ghost soldiers were separated from the demon spirit from then on, and they never saw the demon spirit again.
"Okay, you go in that direction, return to the Holy Land and wait."
Like the Martial Saint, the ghost girl pointed to the northwest and asked the ghost soldiers to return to the ice field to assemble.
"Your Majesty, won't you go back?"
Seeing that the ghost girl wouldn't leave, the ghost soldier asked very worriedly.
The ghost girl consoled her: "I am still looking for other warriors of the saint clan. The high priest has not been seen. I want to find her, Yue Lang, Yue Xi and the others."
The ghost soldier said: "We are willing to search with His Majesty."
The ghost girl was very moved, but there was no use staying here at this time. If Long Chen led troops to pursue him, these ghost soldiers would all die.
"No need, you go back and wait in the holy realm. I will definitely bring them back."
The ghost girl declined politely, but the ghost soldiers still refused to leave. The ghost girl finally said: "This is my will, you are not allowed to disobey it."
The ghost girl's imperial edict suppressed them, and the ghost soldiers reluctantly left.
Watching the ghost soldiers leave, the ghost girl felt sad.
"How could I end up like this..."
The ghost girl couldn't help but sigh.
After the ghost soldiers left, the ghost girl continued walking southeast.
...
Long Chen and the Empress came out of the igloo and searched north.
Along the way, Long Chen walked in front, and the empress followed behind. They were one meter apart and walked forward silently without speaking.
"Someone!"
Long Chen suddenly stopped, and the empress looked forward. There were more than a dozen ghost soldiers moving to the southwest.
"It's ghost soldiers. Why are they going southwest?"
The empress felt strange, why did the ghost soldiers go southwest instead of northwest?
