Feng He said: "There are mountains on both sides of Yanmen Pass. It is not easy for the army to attack from the mountains, so we attacked from the front."
"Knowing that there was an ambush of fire and thunder from the front, Wu Sheng had no choice but to attack from the front."
The mountains on the east and west sides of the pass are undulating, making it difficult for the army to march, so they can only break through from the front.
Of course, this is aimed at ordinary soldiers, especially barbarians. Their advantage lies in cavalry, and it is impossible to attack across mountains with horses.
The warriors of the ghost tribe are highly cultivated, and the mountains have little impact on them.
Therefore, Feng He felt a little worried.
If Wu Sheng really gives up the frontal attack and instead attacks from both sides, climbing over the mountains and attacking the flanks, I'm afraid things will be difficult to handle.
Just as he was thinking about it, spies from the west hurriedly came to report: "Master Feng is in trouble, the ghost army is quickly attacking this way."
Feng He was shocked, jumped up and shouted: "What are you afraid of?"
Picking up the telescope, Feng He climbed to a high place and saw the ghost army advancing rapidly.
"No, send the letter quickly!"
The Xinying eagle immediately flew away, and Feng He ordered all spies to retreat and not to engage in battle with the ghost army.
The spies followed Feng He and retreated. Not long after, they met Meng Yidao coming out across the mountains with more than 6,000 people from all walks of life.
According to the arrangement, Meng Yidao and Zhuang Ling'er each led a group of Jianghu people out of the border, attacked the ghost tribe from the flanks and behind the formation, and took the opportunity to hunt ghost soldiers.
Meng Yidao, Hong Xiao, scholar Li, and He Qingsong walked in front, followed by various sects.
The explosion in the west spread far away, and they heard it clearly from high up.
"It's a fight from the front."
Scholar Li listened carefully to the sound of the cannon and said excitedly.
Hong Xiao said: "I heard that there are a lot of fire mines buried in the north. If the ghost tribe attacks from the front, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties."
Scholar Li said: "If I were a Martial Saint, I would not attack from the front, but break through from the flanks."
He Qingsong felt that Scholar Li's words were unfavorable and said displeasedly: "Don't be so cunning. If Wu Sheng attacks from the flank, we will all die."
Their cultivation level is only that of the Martial Emperor, not even the Emperor. They are almost the same as ordinary soldiers of the ghost tribe.
When they encounter the Martial Saint's army, they are doomed.
Scholar Li chuckled and said, "I'm just talking. It's impossible for the Martial Saint to give up on dealing with us head-on."
Everyone has the mentality of hunting and picking up bargains, especially the people behind.
The mountains on the east side are undulating. After a snowstorm, the snow cover varies in depth, making walking very inconvenient.
As soon as they crossed the mountains and entered the flat grassland, they saw the Xichang spies retreating in a hurry.
When Meng Yidao saw Feng He, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master Feng, what's wrong?"
When Feng He saw Meng Yidao, he immediately said: "Retreat quickly, Wu Sheng's army has changed the direction of attack. They are going to break through from the east."
Meng Yidao was surprised. Scholar Li was actually right. Wu Sheng really gave up the front and broke through from the east instead.
Everyone looked at Scholar Li, who said speechlessly: "I was just talking casually."
Hong Xiao said angrily: "You can't tell the good things, but you can tell the bad things with certainty!"
Lingfengzi looked at the scholar Li speechlessly, and said with his tongue: "What a crow Li."
Without any time to think, Meng Yidao immediately issued an order to retreat: "Stop arguing and retreat, we are not opponents!"
Then he said to Feng He: "The adults must be notified immediately so that they can take precautions."
Feng He said: "I have already informed you, evacuate quickly!"
The people in the martial arts behind have just crossed the mountains, most of them are not good at cultivation, they are very tired, and they are planning to take a rest.
I heard that Wu Sheng led an army to attack here, and everyone was frightened and yelled:
"Long Chen wants to kill us, this damn eunuch."
"I told you we were cannon fodder, but you still didn't believe me."
"Meng Yidao, you must give me a fucking explanation."
"They are treating us like monkeys and want us to die in front."
Meng Yidao was too lazy to talk nonsense and roared: "Stay if you want to die! If I want to harm you, why bother telling you, just let you die here, I will run away by myself!"
After scolding them, Meng Yidao didn't bother to pay attention to them, and immediately retreated with Feng He.
Behind him, Wu Sheng's ghost soldiers were approaching quickly.
Yanmen Pass.
Long Chen quickly returned to Yanmen Pass, where the empress stood at the pass, with Ziyun and Miaoyin standing next to her.
They heard the sound of cannons and smoke.
The wind was strong, and the gunpowder smoke became much lighter at the pass, but the stench of burnt meat was still strong.
"it stink."
Miaoyin covered her mouth and nose with a scarf, and Ziyun also covered her mouth and nose so as not to smell the foul smell.
The empress was a little happy and said: "The smell of the wind means that there are many people killed."
Miaoyin was about to say something when she saw Long Chen coming back.
"Come back so soon?"
Ziyun said in surprise.
When Long Chen landed at the pass, the Empress was also very surprised and asked: "What happened?"
Long Chen said: "Martial Saint suddenly turned to the east, and the attack direction of the ghost army changed."
The empress was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why did it suddenly change direction? What happened?"
The Martial Saint suddenly changed the direction of his attack, and the Empress was surprised.
Logically speaking, the direction of attack should not be changed at this time.
Changing generals and changing strategies before the battle is a taboo for military strategists.
"I don't know. Maybe I was frightened by the explosives, so I wanted to attack from the east side."
"Li Chengdao said that they knew that the defense on the east side was weak, so they chose the east side."
Long Chen didn't know what Wu Sheng was thinking, so he could only tell Li Chengdao what he said.
The empress was even more confused and asked: "Li Chengdao said that? Why did he tell us?"
Ziyun and Miaoyin were also confused. When did Li Chengdao become so kind?
Long Chen said: "Li Chengdao is not someone who is willing to be a slave. He could seek to usurp the throne in the past, and now he can also betray Wu Sheng. I think he may want to rebel against Wu Sheng."
"Of course, no matter whether he is against Wu Sheng or not, he cannot join forces with us. He is not Li Yuanba."
"Li Chengdao leads the puppet attack from the front. Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl turn to the east. We must defend east."
The empress was a little upset. If they fought head-on, she would be sure to win two versus three.
But if we separate, things will not be certain.
Li Chengdao is on the front, one must stay to deal with Li Chengdao and fight against Wu Sheng, and there is only one ghost girl.
Neither Long Chen nor the Empress was confident that they could defeat the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl alone.
"What do you mean, I will go eastward to defend with you?"
Long Chen thought for a while and said: "The Holy One will stay here to fight against Li Chengdao. I will take the others to the east to defend."
The empress shook her head and said: "It's too dangerous for you to fight against two people alone."
Long Chen's cultivation level is very high and he can be called the best in the world, but it is impossible to defeat two.
"There are only tens of thousands of puppets in the front, and there is no ghost army. We can only block Li Chengdao and it will be fine."
"The only powerful people on the east side are Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl. They have no generals under their command. I will take away all the generals and elite soldiers and kill the elite ghost clan on the east side. I only need to hold Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl down, and then the generals will help
I am laying siege and I am sure."
"On the other hand, the Holy Lord, Li Chengdao's Xuanwu sword is weird, so be careful."
When Long Chen came back, he thought about it carefully and finally made this decision.
