The Dragon Slayer Army gradually took shape. Feng Yang and Han Hu disappeared, and Ma Chenglong was seriously injured. Li Chengdao named three people to take over the leadership of the army.
After the teams lined up, Li Chengdao ordered a head count.
Wu Sheng, Ghost Girl, and Demon Spirit continued to listen to Cheng Hui's report about Yanmen Pass.
"In addition to Long Chen, the Empress, and two princesses, the generals at Yanmen Pass also have generals who are in the true realm: Wu Jian, Gan Zhen, Zhang Qian..."
Cheng Hui continued to report, while Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl listened quietly.
"Their most powerful firearm, I heard they have a new one, which is bigger than the previous artillery. This is something we must be on guard against."
Cheng Hui's intelligence was very comprehensive, and he focused on reconnaissance of firearms. This was also the order of Wu Sheng.
In several battles, Wu Sheng suffered heavy losses from firearms, resulting in large-scale deaths of ghost soldiers.
Therefore, Wu Sheng specifically instructed that the situation of Yanmen turning off firearms must be clearly investigated.
"The distribution of firearms is like this. There are the most firearms on both sides of the pass. The pass is guarded by musketeers..."
Cheng Hui pointed at the map and pointed out places one by one.
When Wu Sheng listened to Cheng Hui's report, Li Chengdao finally finished counting the people.
"Kings."
Li Chengdao stepped forward, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to report.
Wu Sheng raised his eyelids, ignored Li Chengdao, and said to Cheng Hui: "Go on."
Cheng Hui continued to report, while Li Chengdao was kneeling in the snow, his face pressed against the snow.
The demon spirit stood behind the ghost girl, feeling secretly proud.
In the ice field, both Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl said that Li Chengdao was good at training soldiers and that the demon spirit could not command troops, so they asked her to learn more from Li Chengdao.
Well now, Li Chengdao, as the vanguard general, was attacked by Long Chen before the war started. Three of his generals were missing, two were seriously injured, and one was seriously injured. The Dragon Slayer Army suffered heavy casualties.
After Cheng Hui finished speaking, Wu Sheng looked at Li Chengdao and asked, "How many more are there?"
Li Chengdao kowtowed and said, "More than four thousand were killed in battle."
He only said the number of people killed, not how many were injured.
"Four thousand people were killed in one raid, and the only one on the other side was Long Chen. You have to change the name of your Dragon Slayer Army."
Wu Sheng was very angry and disappointed.
Li Chengdao did not explain. If something was wrong, it was wrong. There was nothing to say.
Wu Sheng was angry, and Li Chengdao was even more aggrieved. He only hated Long Chen for being cunning, and he was attacked shortly after he left.
"The whole army will rest for a day and attack Yanmen Pass tomorrow."
"I wanted you to be the vanguard of the Dragon Slayer Army, but now it seems you are not worthy!"
Wu Sheng took away Li Chengdao's vanguard general, and the Dragon Slayer Army no longer served as the vanguard.
Li Chengdao looked up at Wu Sheng, his eyes full of unwillingness and grievance.
"Your Majesty, please give me another chance."
Li Chengdao begged bitterly, but Wu Sheng said coldly: "Give you another chance to die? You will lose troops and generals before the battle begins, which will hurt the morale of our army."
"If there is a defeat in front of the battle and the three armies are shaken, what will you do?"
The demon spirit looked at Li Chengdao quietly, feeling a little worried in his heart.
If Li Chengdao doesn't serve as the vanguard general, then the demon spirit will serve as the vanguard general. This is definitely not a good job.
Li Chengdao knelt on the ground and said nothing.
"Devil Spirit, you will serve as the vanguard general and lead the saint warriors as the vanguard."
The ghost girl looked at the demon spirit, and the duty of vanguard general fell on the demon spirit.
The demon spirit is the high priest of the ghost clan, and the martial saint cannot speak, so the ghost girl gives the order.
The demon spirit was unwilling in her heart. She knew that Long Chen was so powerful that she couldn't defeat him as a vanguard.
"Wei Chen accepts the decree."
The ghost girl personally issued the order, and the demon could not refuse, but could only accept the order.
Wu Sheng stood up and left, and the ghost girl also stood up and left. The demon spirit immediately called Yue Ling, Yue Lang and Yue Xi to discuss.
After the people left, Li Chengdao slowly got up.
"Long Chen, little thief, I want to thank you."
After the people left, Li Chengdao's face showed joy.
Wu Sheng asked him to serve as the vanguard general, so he would first start a war with Long Chen. The Dragon Slayer Army would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Li Chengdao has been thinking about how to get rid of the position of vanguard general and preserve his Dragon Slayer Army.
After much deliberation, there was no good solution. Unexpectedly, Long Chen suddenly appeared. Li Chengdao was a blessing in disguise, and his position as the vanguard general was removed.
Four thousand were killed and three lieutenants were lost. The loss was not small, but it was worth it.
If you really become a vanguard general and rush to the front to fight, more than just those will die.
Therefore, Li Chengdao felt that he should thank Long Chen.
...
Long Chen carried Feng Yang and quickly evacuated the battlefield, returning to Yanmen Pass in one breath.
After falling off the gate, Han Ziping looked at Feng Yang in Long Chen's hand and asked: "Sir, who is this? A captured prisoner?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "I captured one of Li Chengdao's generals."
Feng Yang had already woken up and knew who the rich young man in front of him was. He lay on the ground and did not dare to move.
"Is Lao Feng back?"
The Martial Saint army has arrived at the outskirts, and Feng He can come back.
Han Ziping said: "No, most of the Xichang spies have returned, but Feng He is still monitoring the ghost clan's movements on the periphery."
Just as he was talking, Dugu Jiali came over, looked at Feng Yang on the ground, and asked, "Who is this? Did you capture him?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Yes, I just captured him."
After kicking Feng Yang, Long Chen said: "Stop pretending to be dead. If you pretend to be dead again, I will kill you."
Feng Yang hurriedly got up and kowtowed to Long Chen: "King Wu, please spare your life. The little one is originally a citizen of the Acropolis. The little one was also captured by the ghost clan. The little one is also very innocent."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Get up and speak, I don't like others to kneel down."
Feng Yang slowly and carefully got up, glanced at Long Chen fearfully, then turned to look at Dugu Jiali and Han Ziping, forcing a flattering smile on his face.
"People of the Acropolis? You still know that you are a citizen of the Acropolis! The ghost tribe attacked the Acropolis, killed your family, and kidnapped you as ghost soldiers. You also served as a vanguard for the Martial Saint. Do you know what it means to recognize a thief as your father? You just recognize a thief as your father.
!”
Long Chen pointed at Feng Yang's nose and cursed. Feng Yang bowed his head and did not dare to speak after being scolded.
Feng Yang knew very well who the enemy was. He was deliberately pretending to be confused and unwilling to admit that the ghost tribe was the enemy because he himself became a ghost tribe.
"What King Wu said is... I... I have no choice but to do it. The ghost clan is so powerful. If I resist, I will be killed."
When they arrived at Yanmen Pass, Feng Yang dared to say that he was a victim.
"I know that you are helpless. Now that you are back here, you should persuade the people of the Acropolis to return from their lost ways, figure out who the enemy is, and deal with the ghost clan together and take revenge on the ghost clan."
Long Chen's tone softened a lot, and he persuaded in a persuasive manner.
"King Wu is right, I must persuade them to stop."
Feng Yang didn't dare not agree, but he was thinking in his heart, he had become a ghost clan, how could he do it anyway?
Long Chen guessed Feng Yang's thoughts and said, "Are you thinking that your bodies have become half-ghosts and it's impossible to change?"
Feng Yang raised his head and looked at Long Chen in surprise. How could his inner thoughts be known?
Could it be that Long Chen has the ability to read minds?
"I am also half-ghost, and so is the Holy One. They are all."
Long Chen pointed at the elite soldiers who had closed the Yanmen Gate. These people had all turned into half-ghost bodies.
Feng Yang looked at the tens of thousands of elite soldiers at the pass in surprise. He had never heard that these people were half-ghosts, let alone that Long Chen was half-ghost.
"Don't be surprised. It doesn't matter what your health is like. It depends on who you stand with and who you fight against."
"The Acropolis was attacked by the Martial Saint at that time. Many people died, but some people survived. They are in the south. Maybe your family is still alive."
Long Chen knew about the dozen ghost soldiers entering the acropolis, and guessed that Feng Yang might also be looking for his family.
"Really? Are there really people alive?"
Feng Yang asked in disbelief. He thought that all the people in the guard city were dead, killed by ghost soldiers.
