Eighty thousand troops entered one after another. As soon as the empress boarded the pass, she heard a huge explosion from the north. The pass trembled slightly and smoke slowly rose.
"bingo!"
Di Luoxi was ecstatic, and Di Lingyi flew up to the tower, took out his telescope and looked to the north.
"Mother, the ghost army is ambushing you."
Emperor Lingyi saw the ghost army falling into chaos, and the ghost soldiers were running in panic under the smoke.
The empress couldn't help but fly up, stopped in mid-air, took out her telescope and looked to the north.
As expected, the ghost army was ambushed, and Long Chen was escorting the Demon Dragon Camp and the Nilin Army back.
Long Chen and Yu Wenkai also heard the explosion behind them.
Yu Wenkai stopped, looked behind him, and said with great joy: "You brat, your trick has succeeded. How many Martial Saints will die this time?"
Long Chen was even more excited than Yu Wenkai, the most critical step in this battle was here.
Although Wu Sheng's soldiers and horses are not many, only 90,000, all of his soldiers are elite.
If they were to fight head-on, Long Chen's soldiers would not be able to defeat them at all.
Therefore, Long Chen must use gunpowder to severely injure the ghost soldiers before starting a battle.
When the explosion sounded, Long Chen knew that this battle was more than half successful.
"Let's go back and wait for Wu Sheng."
Long Chen was in a good mood.
This time more than 80,000 people were dispatched, and a great deal of effort was made to lure the Martial Saint, and finally achieved their goal.
north.
Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl looked at the moaning and wailing soldiers, feeling angry and helpless.
"Array up!"
The Martial Saint roared angrily, and upon hearing the order, the dead soldiers tried their best to stand up and line up, but the demon-suppressing stone on their bodies was still burning their flesh, making the dead soldiers grimace in pain.
Death Soldiers are warriors who have been tested in battle and gradually take shape.
The ghost soldiers were different. It was the first time these ghost soldiers encountered such a situation. No matter how the priests and demons scolded them, the ghost soldiers were still in chaos.
The ghost girl was very angry, flew into the air, and angrily shouted at the ghost soldiers at her feet: "I tell you to form an array, quickly!"
Hearing the angry shouts of the ghost girl, the ghost soldiers slowly gathered into formation.
"Count the heads!"
Wu Sheng shouted angrily, and his subordinates began to count the number of people and calculate the casualties.
The priest demon also ordered a head count.
Qin Hao withdrew from the front and came to Wu Sheng's side.
"Lord."
Qin Hao was relieved after making sure that Wu Sheng was fine.
Guite looked at the corpses around him and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Snapped!
Guitai suddenly felt a burning pain in his face, and then realized that Wu Sheng had slapped him.
"Father..."
The ghost fetus was beaten inexplicably, and Wu Sheng cursed: "You didn't notice such a huge trap, you waste!"
This time the leader of the army was obviously the Martial Saint, but after falling into the trap, the one who was beaten was actually Gui Fei.
Gui Fei felt a lot of grievances in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out.
"You have been fighting with Long Chen for several years, but you can't see through the traps he has set. What a waste!"
Wu Sheng had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only find ghosts to vent his anger on.
The ghost boy lowered his head and said nothing.
At this time, there is nothing to explain.
Soon, a general ran over and reported to Wu Sheng: "Lord, more than 8,000 people were killed and no less than 10,000 were seriously injured. The brothers on the outside are better."
In an explosion, eight thousand people died on the spot, and ten thousand others were seriously injured. Only more than ten thousand were available.
Including the eight thousand under Qin Hao's command, Wu Sheng only had 20,000 dead soldiers at his disposal.
"It's a pity that there is no nourishing flesh and blood. If there is enough flesh and blood, the injured brother can recover."
The general continued to report.
This general's name is Jiang Qi, and his status in the army is average.
Because other generals were either dead or injured, Jiang Qi became the second-largest general after Qin Hao.
Wu Sheng looked at Gui Fei again.
Ordnance, armor, war horses, meat and vegetables, these are all things that ghost fetuses should prepare.
The resurrected Martial Saint Ghost Girl was too hasty and not prepared for anything.
Wu Sheng looked at the ghost girl in the distance, and the casualties of the ghost soldiers were being counted.
After counting the demon spirits, the priest reported to the ghost girl: "Your Majesty, our clan has more than 10,000 dead, more than 10,000 seriously injured, and there are still almost 30,000 usable."
In fact, there were almost 15,000 ghost soldiers killed in the battle, but the demon deliberately said there were more than 10,000.
There were more serious injuries, and the demon-suppressing stone was more powerful and poisonous to the ghost soldiers.
Only those who were not hit were lucky enough to escape.
Twenty thousand dead soldiers plus thirty thousand ghost soldiers, the total is only fifty thousand.
An explosion destroyed more than half of the ghost army.
The ghost girl came over and looked helpless at the red and swollen face of the ghost fetus.
The son he gave birth to was useless, which led to the current situation.
"Husband, almost half of the clan members have been killed or injured, and there are only less than 30,000 warriors available."
Wu Sheng said with some helplessness: "I only have more than 20,000 soldiers under my command, and almost 10,000 died in battle."
Counting the dead soldiers under Qin Hao's command, the number of Wu Sheng's dead in battle has reached 10,000.
On the one hand, his own soldiers and horses were killed in battle, but the most despicable thing was that Long Chen had suffered no more than a hundred casualties so far.
Most of these one hundred people were soldiers on the fortress who had no time to retreat.
"It's a shame that I fell into the little thief's trick."
The ghost girl felt hateful and helpless.
Guitei lowered his head and said nothing. Qin Hao was afraid that Guitei would be beaten again, so he said: "Master, the injured brothers should follow the formation. When we break Yanmen Pass, we will have plenty of flesh and blood to nourish us."
Qin Hao thought that as long as Yanmen Pass was breached, there would be enough flesh and blood that could be used to drink for healing.
Wu Sheng said: "I order you to form an army of ten thousand, destroy all the barriers in front, and march slowly."
Wu Sheng learned well and did not dare to advance any more. He ordered Qin Hao to lead his troops to destroy the barrier first and then advance.
Qin Hao bowed and said, "The last general takes command."
Wu Sheng said to Gui Fei again: "Go together and clear out all possible traps ahead."
Guite followed Qin Hao silently and left.
"This waste!"
Wu Sheng was helpless, and the ghost girl said: "Wang'er has been alone since he was a child, and we have never disciplined him. We cannot blame him entirely."
After giving birth to the ghost fetus, the ghost girl fell asleep again. She could not be said to have been raised, and she felt guilty in her heart.
Wu Sheng was different. He felt that the ghost fetus was so big, and a man over two hundred years old was being fooled around by Long Chen.
"More than two hundred years of life have been in vain."
Wu Sheng was still very angry. The ghost girl knew that Wu Sheng was in a bad mood and wanted to vent her anger and stop arguing with Wu Sheng.
Dead soldiers and ghost soldiers are still dying one after another. If the demon-suppressing stone is not dug out in time, the body will continue to fester.
The magic-suppressing stones in non-vital parts can be dug out, but those whose vital parts are shot will just wait to die slowly.
From time to time there were spontaneous combustions around, and everyone watched helplessly as their comrades died.
ahead.
Qin Hao and Gui Tai led 10,000 dead soldiers to clear the barriers. Each barrier was destroyed and razed to the ground. Wu Sheng led the army and slowly advanced.
The wild goose gate is closed.
Long Chen watched the ghost tribe slowly advance from the tower.
"Husband, the artillery on both sides is ready for use."
There are forts extending out on both sides of Yanmen Pass, and the artillery on them is ready.
Long Chen said: "The distance is up, let Mei Yu fire!"
Di Luoxi picked up the black flag and waved it forward several times.
Mei Yu saw the black flag and immediately ordered: "Fire!"
The roar of artillery sounded, more than fifty artillery pieces were fired at the same time, and the shells fell from the sky with the sound of whining wind.
The dead soldiers looked up and looked ahead. They could feel something flying towards them, but they couldn't see clearly.
The speed of the cannonballs was not as fast as that of later generations, but it was much faster than the crossbows at that time. The dead soldiers could not see clearly and could only rely on instinct to avoid it.
boom!
A dead soldier was hit by a cannonball, and his body instantly shattered into pieces.
"Be careful, it's a cannonball!"
Guite reminded loudly.
He knew it was a cannonball, but there was no way for the dead soldiers to avoid it. He could only look at the sky and worry.
