Qin Hao took 500 ghost soldiers to rest where they were, waiting for reinforcements.
It is getting late and darkness is falling.
Several bright lights shot out from the dark clouds, and the dull thunder rumbled, shaking the weather.
One of his young generals looked up at the sky and said, "General Qin, it looks like it's going to rain."
Qin Hao looked up at the sky worriedly.
They are human beings and are used to wind, frost, rain and snow in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Even if the sun appears in the sky, they won't feel anything bad.
But the ghost soldiers are different. They live in the ice field all their lives, where there is no sunlight. The only light comes from the moon fish under the ice.
If the clouds disperse and the scorching sun appears, the ghost soldiers can only retreat to the ice field and wait for winter to come.
"Not a good sign."
Qin Hao sighed secretly.
The ghost soldiers can't stand the scorching sun, and these dead soldiers have been frozen for four hundred years. Can they withstand the scorching sun?
Rumble...
Thunder sounded again, and lightning flashed across the night, bringing instant light to the world.
"Someone is coming!"
Through lightning, the young general saw a horse approaching quietly.
Qin Hao had already noticed it and sneered: "You dare to come here alone to die and catch the person alive!"
The young general immediately mounted his horse and soon captured a man in his forties.
"Spare your life, please see the Holy Son. I am a subordinate of General Zeng Mu, and I am here to deliver a message to the Holy Son."
The man immediately revealed his identity, fearing that his life would be in danger.
"Zeng Mu? A subordinate of the Holy Son?"
Qin Hao only heard that the governor of Yangcheng was an internal agent of Gui Fei, but not that Zeng Mu was also an internal agent.
"Yes, General Zeng Mu is a subordinate of the Holy Son. I was ordered to deliver a message asking to see the Holy Son."
Qin Hao stretched out his hand, but the man did not dare to speak and immediately took out the secret letter.
Qin Hao has good night vision and can see the contents of the secret message clearly with the help of faint lightning.
Zeng Mu said that there were 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yuncheng, all of whom were ordinary soldiers. Long Chen and Shi Jingxiang were in the city, and there were no other soldiers, horses or generals.
"Yuncheng is just a show-off. Only Long Chen is a thorn in the side, and the others are not worth mentioning."
Qin Hao was secretly happy. He didn't expect that Yuncheng's defense was so weak, and he didn't expect that Long Chen came from Yanmen Pass and there were only two of them.
"You little thief looks down on me!"
Qin Hao then changed his mind and felt very unhappy.
Long Chen didn't bring any soldiers to reinforce Yuncheng. This is not looking down upon.
"Okay, you can go back, I understand!"
Qin Hao signaled to the man that he could leave. The man saluted respectfully, then climbed on the horse's back and ran away like a rabbit.
"What a pity for a fat sheep."
The young general watched the man leave and exclaimed that it was a pity. He wanted to eat this man.
Qin Hao smiled slightly and said: "What's the rush? When the things are done, I will take you into Yuncheng and everyone will have a full meal!"
Long Chen was in Yuncheng. There were 100,000 soldiers and horses inside, but they were all ordinary people.
As long as Guitai comes back from arresting people and takes them to Kaer Lake, Qin Hao can join forces with Guitai to sneak attack Yuncheng with 500 troops.
With Zeng Mu in the city as an internal response, the sneak attack will definitely succeed.
When the time comes, Long Chen can be killed without delaying business.
This is a strategy that has the best of both worlds.
Qin Hao secretly admired his clever strategy.
"General Qin, we only have five hundred people. If we attack Yuncheng, I'm afraid..."
The young general was frightened by Long Chen's beating and felt that his five hundred men were not enough.
Qin Hao said: "No, it's completely enough. When the time comes, the Holy Son and I will kill Long Chen, with Zeng Mu as the internal response, and you five hundred elites will attack Yuncheng."
"One hundred thousand soldiers and horses, two hundred of each of you will be enough."
The young general thought it made sense. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses seemed like a lot, but as long as each person killed two hundred, all the soldiers and horses could be killed.
"General Qin is right. Killing them is actually very easy."
The young general suddenly felt that Qin Hao was right. It was actually very simple to destroy the Yuncheng defenders.
Qin Hao smiled proudly and said: "Just wait, when the Holy Son comes back, we will destroy Yuncheng and kill Long Chen!"
...
Cloud City.
Long Chen and Shi Jingxiang rode to the north gate. The soldiers on the city held torches and asked who was coming. The crossbowmen were ready and ready to shoot.
Long Chen shouted: "It's me, Long Chen, open the door!"
The soldiers in the city were not sure and hurriedly reported to Donna.
When Donna arrived at the city, after confirming her identity, she immediately opened the north gate, and Long Chen and Shi Jingxiang rode into the city.
"King Wu, how is the situation?"
Donna held the horse and quickly asked about the situation of the ghost clan.
"I saw it. The generals in charge are Qin Hao and Gui Tai. They led five hundred ghost soldiers and camped a hundred miles to the north."
Long Chen dismounted and Donna followed him into the general's mansion.
"Five hundred? Really only five hundred?"
When Donna heard that there were not many ghost soldiers, she was very happy.
Long Chen said: "Not sure, what I saw was five hundred, but there is a possibility that what we saw was just bait, and the army was lurking elsewhere."
This possibility completely exists. Five hundred dead soldiers appeared first, making Long Chen mistakenly think that the number of ghost soldiers coming was not large, and relaxed Yuncheng's defense.
Then they suddenly gathered their troops for a surprise attack, catching Long Chen by surprise.
"Other places? Waiting Qi did not find any other ambushes."
All the waiting troops under Donna were sent out, and they were conducting reconnaissance on the three sides, northeast and west. If there was a large group of ghost soldiers lurking, the waiting troops should have discovered it.
"I don't know. Maybe it was well hidden and we didn't find it yet."
Long Chen sat down, and Shi Jingxiang also sat down. Donna was anxious and stood talking.
"Then how does King Wu think we should respond?"
Donna wanted to ask Long Chen about his plan, but Long Chen said: "It's very simple, wait and see. Since the target is Yuncheng, I will wait and wait for them to take action."
"I really want to see how many ghost soldiers Qin Hao sent out this time."
In fact, Long Chen hoped that Qin Hao would bring more ghost soldiers so that he could kill more.
"King Wu is guarding it personally, so we don't have to worry."
Donna was comforting herself.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as you follow the plan, five hundred ghost soldiers will be easy."
Outside the door, a clerk hurried in, holding a reed pipe in his hand.
"General Tang, a secret message from the Acropolis, for King Wu."
The clerk received Yu Wenkai's Flying Eagle Letter, which was addressed to Long Chen. The clerk did not dare to read it, so he immediately submitted it.
Donna took it and handed it to Long Chen.
"What did the old general find?"
Long Chen thought that Yu Wenkai was besieged by an army of ghosts in the Acropolis, so he sent a message asking for help.
After taking apart the reed tube, I saw a simple sentence above: The governor of Yangcheng, Zeng Mu of Yuncheng is a traitor, Ma Feizi confessed, you can judge for yourself.
Long Chen crumpled the secret letter into a ball and turned it into powder.
"King Wu?"
Donna wanted to know what the secret message said.
Long Chen suddenly asked: "Who is Zeng Mu?"
Zeng Mu was just a captain, and Long Chen didn't know this young general.
Donna was very surprised why Long Chen suddenly asked a general.
"Zeng Mu is the garrison of Yuncheng. His military position is the Gongnu Colonel, and he is in charge of the Gongnu Camp and the Musket Camp."
"Why did King Wu suddenly ask Zeng Mu if he had any questions?"
Long Chen did not directly say that Zeng Mu had a problem, but said: "Oh, when fighting the ghost tribe, the most important thing is the crossbow and musket. I am worried that there is a problem with the defense, so I called him here. I want to ask about the city defense preparations."
Donna knew in her heart that Long Chen was talking nonsense.
How is the city's defense? Just ask Donna, why bother asking a young general below.
Doing this would make Donna look useless.
If the general couldn't explain clearly, he would ask the subordinate general.
"Invite the school captain Zeng Mu over."
Donna immediately gave orders, and the soldiers in the mansion immediately sent orders.
