The battle between Li Chengdao and Long Chen changed Wu Sheng's mind. He originally wanted to break through the defenses head-on and break through Yanmen Pass to avenge his previous shame.
But the battle just now made Wu Sheng see two problems:
The frontal defense was too strong and it would be unwise to attack by force. He didn't want to use the lives of ghost soldiers to fill the gap. He really had no soldiers.
In addition, Li Chengdao was actually able to suppress Long Chen. Wu Sheng was a little afraid of Li Chengdao. He wanted Li Chengdao to die in this battle, or at least let him and Long Chen fight to the death.
Therefore, Wu Sheng changed his original plan, summoned three ghost generals and Merleg, and led the ghost army to attack from the east side of Yanmen Pass.
The battle plan changed temporarily, and Wu Sheng did not notify Li Chengdao.
Yue Ling and the three ghost generals already knew the battle plan before they went on the expedition. They were also surprised when Wu Sheng changed it temporarily.
Especially Yue Ling, she is very worried about the demon spirits.
The demon spirit is still following Li Chengdao in the vanguard. Without a large army to follow, the demon spirit is in danger.
"Your Majesty, the high priest is still in front..."
Yue Ling whispered to Wu Sheng and looked at the ghost girl.
Demonic spirits do not respect Martial Saints, and Martial Saints do not like demonic spirits. Everyone knows this.
So Yue Ling looked at the ghost girl, hoping that the ghost girl would notify the demon spirit and ask the demon spirit to withdraw.
The ghost girl looked at Wu Sheng. The demon spirit was the only general under the ghost girl and the only demon generation alive. She hoped that the demon spirit would come back.
Wu Sheng hopes to completely defeat Long Chen in this battle at all costs.
"The high priest is following Li Chengdao. There is no problem in self-protection. As long as we fight well in the east, Long Chen will definitely move and they will be safer."
Wu Sheng didn't want to tell the demon spirit to retreat. The reason was simple. If the demon spirit knew about it, Li Chengdao would definitely guess it.
The ghost girl knew Wu Sheng's thoughts and said: "The king is right, the high priest is the safest from the front."
Yue Ling and the other three were helpless. Their queen was completely obedient to the Martial Saint, and whatever the Martial Saint said she would do.
"According to the plan, rush eastward immediately, and be quick! I'll give you two quarters of an hour to reorganize your troops and horses!"
The plan changed temporarily and the generals needed time to reorganize the army.
"The last general takes orders."
The four men immediately went down to rectify their troops.
When the ghost general reorganized his troops and changed his route, there were bursts of explosions and huge explosions in front of him. The ghost girl couldn't help but fly up and look to the south.
The wind and snow were thick, and the distance was a bit far, so the ghost girl could not see clearly.
"The explosives hidden in the fortress have exploded."
Wu Sheng flew up, looked south, and sneered.
He felt that Long Chen would repeat his old tricks and he would never fall into the trap again.
"It's the same trick over and over again, it's ridiculous."
The ghost girl also felt disdainful. How could the same strategy be effective if it was used twice.
Soon, the team regrouped.
Merleg led more than 8,000 barbarians as the vanguard, Yue Ling led 10,000 of the most elite ghost soldiers followed, Yue Xi led 8,000 crossbowmen on both sides, and Yue Lang led the remaining more than 70,000 ghost soldiers and more than 20,000
The dragon-slayer army presses forward.
Obviously, with this arrangement, Barbarian is just cannon fodder.
Merleg is not stupid. He knows that he is an abandoned son. He cannot refuse such an arrangement, but...
"All officers and men work hard to break through Yanmen Pass. Your flesh and blood vessels will be full!"
Wu Sheng didn't say anything else, except that there was endless human flesh to eat and endless human blood to drink at Yanmen Pass.
This is the favorite of ghost soldiers.
As long as they drink human blood once, they will remember the delicious feeling and constantly crave new flesh and blood.
"kill!"
The ghost soldier raised the fish bone weapon in his hand and shouted loudly.
Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl took the lead, leading nearly 130,000 ghost soldiers to the southeast, targeting the east side of Yanmen Pass.
Not far away, there was a huge roar from the south, and the ground shook slightly, feeling like an earthquake.
"what happened?"
Yue Ling behind him was startled and couldn't help but look to the south.
Wu Sheng estimated that the gunpowder buried in the fortress detonated on a large scale, causing the ground to shake. They had already experienced it once, so there was nothing strange about it.
Yue Ling didn't dare to disobey the order, and the ghost soldiers behind him didn't even dare to disobey the order, and followed the Martial Saint forward.
...
south.
Gan Zhen led the Nilin Army to cover the retreat of the soldiers from Leihuo Camp and Gongnu Camp. Long Chen slowly retreated from one fortress to another, watching the puppet move forward quickly.
Li Chengdao flew in the air and looked at the puppet army below with vigilance.
Wu Sheng's army did not follow, so Li Chengdao didn't pay much attention.
If the obstacles ahead are not cleared, Wu Sheng probably won't come.
He knew that he was a pawn in the cavalry, and he could only move forward and cross the river before he could ride.
The puppet army slowly pressed forward, and Li Chengdao slowly flew forward.
far away.
Long Chen suddenly flew into the sky, took out his telescope and looked towards the blurry north.
The puppet army of the ghosts has gone deep enough, it's time to take action.
Long Chen turned around and shouted: "Light the fire!"
Gan Zhen and Bai Tingting immediately sent orders, and the soldiers from Leihuoying immediately lit the fuse.
The explosives buried underneath were ignited, and exploded at the feet of the puppet army. The puppets on the ground were directly blown to pieces, and the broken limbs flew up and mixed with the snow.
Li Chengdao saw the overwhelming explosion coming from the south, and his body immediately lifted up, away from the air waves on the ground.
The puppets under his feet were blown to pieces. Li Chengdao watched as the puppets at the front disappeared, followed by those under his feet, and then headed north.
The explosion was so violent that even if Li Chengdao was in the air, he could clearly feel the air trembling.
A strong cold wind blew from the north, blowing the gunpowder smoke to the south. When the gunpowder smoke dissipated, only mud, stumps, and ashes mixed with snow were left underfoot.
More than half of the hundreds of thousands of puppets were wiped out in an instant, and only those who hadn't followed continued to move forward.
"If I have this thing, why worry about the uncertainty of the world!"
Seeing the power of explosives again, Li Chengdao was not afraid or resentful, but envious.
He envied Long Chen for having such a weapon in his hand.
If he had, he could completely dominate the world.
"If your Long family had donated gunpowder, I could have circumvented your Long family and not died."
Li Chengdao shook his head and sighed.
south.
Long Chen stood on the fortress, blowing gunpowder smoke and the smell of burnt meat. Bai Tingting fell beside her and took out a scarf to cover Long Chen's mouth and nose.
"You don't mind the smell either."
Bai Tingting felt that the smell was unbearable, but Long Chen was actually indifferent.
"These were once living people, and they were just gone."
Long Chen couldn't help but sigh.
These puppets are the lackeys of the ghost clan and their enemies.
But not long ago, they were also living people. Thinking of this, Long Chen felt a little sad.
"Husband, they are barbarians, not common people."
Bai Tingting knew Long Chen well and knew that Long Chen was cruel to officials and soft-hearted to the people.
It was impossible for her to tell Long Chen not to feel sorry for the common people. She could only say that these puppets were barbarians.
"Stop fighting with fighting, stop killing with killing."
Long Chen sighed slightly.
When the smoke cleared, as far as the eye could see, there was an indescribable mess.
Through the telescope, Bai Tingting vaguely saw Li Chengdao in the sky.
"The bitch isn't dead yet."
Bai Tingting cursed.
"How could Li Chengdao be bombed to death? He was not a fool."
Long Chen was not surprised at all. It would be too shameful for Li Chengdao to die here.
