The messenger was very happy, but Jing Tianlie's face turned gloomy and asked: "What did he say?"
Having fought against Long Chen several times, Jing Tianlie knew very well that Long Chen had many tricks and tricks and could not be easily fooled.
The messenger said: "He was hesitant at first, saying he didn't have enough troops, but then he said he had never been afraid and wanted to march urgently to reinforce Yanmen Pass."
After hearing this, Jing Tianlie's face became even more gloomy. He was wondering if Long Chen had fallen into the trap, or if he had an ulterior motive?
"What do you think?"
Jing Tianlie looked at Chen Yuxin.
This strategy of ambush and luring the enemy was proposed by Chen Yuxin.
Originally, because Yanmen Pass could not be attacked by force and Long Chen's reinforcements were on the way, Jing Tianlie wanted to set up a camp in the canyon to block Long Chen's reinforcements and buy time for the barbarians to lay siege to Yanmen Pass.
Once the barbarians break through Yanmen Pass, they will join forces again and start a decisive battle near the canyon.
Another point is that the canyon is in a key location, and occupying this place in advance can gain geographical advantages.
If it is occupied by Long Chen, it will be difficult for the army to move south.
But as luck would have it, Emperor Lingyi sent a messenger for help and was caught by Chen Yuxin.
After reading the letter asking for help, Chen Yuxin proposed a strategy of using a fake messenger to trick Long Chen into marching for support, and then ambush him in the canyon.
Jingfeng suffered a loss once and felt that this plan was feasible.
Jing Tianlie also felt that he could give it a try.
"Long Chengen has many tricks and tricks. I don't know if he fell into the trap."
Chen Yuxin has suffered losses before and dare not be too confident.
"We sent out waiting cavalry and kept investigating. If Long Chengen falls into the trap, he will speed up, but not too fast. He must know that there is a canyon here and there may be an ambush."
Chen Yuxin is very cautious, and Jing Tianlie feels the same way.
"Okay, send half of the waiting cavalry to monitor Long Chengen's movements."
Jing Tianlie immediately sent out his waiting cavalry to monitor, while he laid an ambush in the canyon.
No matter whether this strategy succeeds or not, Jing Tianlie will definitely win.
If it works, you can catch Long Chen off guard or even kill him.
If it fails, it doesn't matter. Just block the reinforcements in the canyon, wait for the barbarians to break through Yanmen Pass, and then join forces to attack and crush them.
There are more than 200,000 barbarians, plus the Red Flame Army, which is 10 times the strength. Even if the commander is a pig, he can still win this battle.
Long Chen, four people and eight horses, raced very fast along the path, not stopping for a moment.
When the horse gets tired, immediately switch to another one and keep alternating.
The two-day journey was completed in only half a day.
Whoosh
The war horse's nose sprayed out white mist. Even if the two horses alternated, the war horse's endurance had reached its limit.
boom
Gongsun Linglong sat down and his horse suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
"This war horse is too bad, why can't it work?"
Gongsun Linglong almost fell down.
Long Chen picked up the water bag and took a sip of water, and said: "Your two lion hammers weigh two hundred kilograms, and your war horse is equivalent to carrying two people."
Dugu Jiali also said: "That's right, the endurance of this war horse is already very good."
The sun sets in the west, and the setting sun shines on the deserted stone mountains. Occasionally, a ray of coldness stirs up the dust, giving a feeling of desolation at the border.
Opening the map, Long Chen pointed to the northeast and said: "Yanmen Pass is ten miles away. Reinforcements from Jade Buddha Pass should be arriving soon. Let's wait here."
The four of them rested on the spot, and Long Chen brought water to feed the fallen war horse.
As the sun sets and night falls, the sound of war horses can be heard faintly from the northeast, and the battle at Yanmen Pass is continuing.
"General, let me go and inquire about the situation first."
Dugu Jiali came over and said.
In fact, Long Chen also wanted to go and inquire first, but the war horse had reached its limit and could not walk over.
Before Long Chen could answer, Bai Tingting suddenly whispered: "There is someone!"
Several people immediately knelt down and saw two horses running towards them from the west, seemingly exploring the way.
"Maybe they are soldiers and horses from Jade Buddha Pass. Go and capture them and ask them."
It's hard to see clearly in the dark, but it could be the barbarian's waiting horse.
Gongsun Linglong immediately rushed out with big strides. When the two horses saw a tall figure, they shouted: "Who!"
boom!
Gongsun Linglong rushed forward and knocked the two cavalrymen to the ground with a wave of his palm.
Then he picked it up by the neck, threw it on the ground, and asked: "Where is it from?"
Long Chen looked at the military uniform carefully and saw that he was a brother of the Long Family Army.
"Are you from the Long Family Army?"
Gongsun Linglong shouted and asked.
Long Chen helped the two people up and said: "I am Long Chengen, who of you will lead the team? How far is it?"
The two soldiers were beaten until they were dizzy, and it took them a while to regain their senses. Through the faint darkness of the night, they could distinguish Long Chen's appearance.
"See General Dragon!"
"We are led by Colonel Han Ziping, and the army is five miles away."
Long Chen was secretly happy and said: "Leave one horse behind and the other person go back and ask Han Ziping to come over quickly."
The soldiers received the order and rushed back immediately.
"Tingting, you ride this horse to find out about the situation at Yanmen Pass. Where is the main army and who is the leader? It's best to come back with a tongue."
Bai Tingting got on her horse and immediately headed to Yanmen Pass.
The soldier kept rubbing his neck and complained in a low voice: "One of my own was almost pinched in pieces by using so much force."
Gongsun Linglong snorted coldly: "A grown man with such a weak body!"
The soldier looked at Gongsun Linglong, who was a head taller than him, and lowered his head silently.
Soon, Han Ziping arrived with his army.
"See General Long, General Dugu"
Both Long Chen and Dugu Jiali knew each other, but Gongsun Linglong had never met.
"This is General Gongsun, the granddaughter of Lao Zhuguo."
Long Chen introduced it.
Han Ziping immediately saluted: "See General Gongsun."
Gongsun Linglong patted Han Ziping on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You're welcome, we will be brothers from now on!"
Han Ziping's shoulder hurt after being slapped
"Why is General Long here? General Wu told the last general that you can lead troops to reinforce from the southern road."
Wu Jian told about Long Chen's reinforcements and told Han Ziping to meet Long Chen in the south outside Yanmen Pass.
This was to prevent an ambush outside Yanmen Pass, so Han Ziping stopped just now and sent out waiting cavalry to look for Long Chen's army.
"The road to the south is blocked by Jingtian Lie, and Yanmen Pass is besieged. Let's take a small road here."
Han Ziping said in surprise: "Then what should we do? Send reinforcements quickly?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, wait until General Bai comes back to inquire about the news before making a decision. Let the brothers rest on the spot."
With Long Chen around, Han Ziping didn't panic and ordered the soldiers to rest and eat dry food on the spot.
Long Chen asked about Wu Jian's situation at Jade Buddha Pass. Han Ziping said that everything was normal there. The city in Xifeng Town was being built in an orderly manner, and the world would benefit. Tian Liang was also working very hard.
At midnight, Bai Tingting came back on horseback with a barbarian soldier tied behind her.
boom!
The soldier was thrown to the ground. Bai Tingting dismounted and said, "This man stinks to death. Don't barbarians take baths?"
Long Chen smiled and said, "You will know if you ask him."
Bai Tingting took a sip of water and said: "Yanmen Pass is besieged. The barbarian army of 200,000 is outside the city. The third princess defended it, but the battle was brutal. The city wall was severely damaged. Jing Tianlie brought siege weapons."
The greatest advantage of the Central Plains people is the city wall, and the barbarians are not good at making siege equipment.
But Jing Tianlie brought siege weapons, making the battle difficult to fight.
Gongsun Linglong brought the soldier over, and Long Chen asked: "What is your name? What position do you hold?"
