"It's best if you can anger the Martial Saint to death, so this battle doesn't need to be fought."
Long Chen felt relaxed and took a deep breath of the air from the top of the mountain, feeling his lungs cool.
Lieutenant General Yang Hu asked: "Have Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl come out?"
Feng He replied: "They are all out. The soldiers and horses of Wu Sheng and Gui Nu are together. There are almost one hundred thousand people. They have no horses and have to march on foot."
"But that pioneer ghost general, the 5,000 people he leads have war horses. Their horses have traveled a long distance and are not very fast. They will probably arrive here in a day."
Yu Wenkai looked at Long Chen and said, "We must prepare for an ambush."
Long Chen must have chosen the terrain of the valley to fight an ambush, so Yu Wenkai said that he could prepare for an ambush.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Old general, don't underestimate those people. We ambush once in Storm Canyon, and they won't be fooled again."
Yu Wenkai looked at the valley road at the bottom of the mountain and asked: "You can't ambush, so what do you want to do? Fight head-on?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "This junior has his own clever plan, but he just needs the help of the brothers from the Demon Dragon Camp."
Yu Wenkai said: "This is no problem, Yang Hu, Tan Wenyue, you just listen to this guy's arrangements."
Long Chen immediately went down the mountain to prepare.
...
Northwest.
Xia Feng led five thousand elite warriors on horseback to pursue them.
The whip kept beating the war horse, but the speed of the war horse never increased.
These war horses have traveled a long way, almost without stopping, and their horsepower is almost exhausted.
"General Xia, the war horses need to rest."
A young general saw that Xia Feng was anxious and stepped forward to persuade him.
This is Ai Zhong, Xia Feng's temporary deputy.
Xia Feng said anxiously: "I know that the horsepower is going to be exhausted, but if we don't speed up, we won't be able to catch up with Long Chen."
Long Chen had already retreated. If they wanted to catch up, they had to be faster than Long Chen.
Xia Feng's anxiety is justified.
"General Xia, Long Chen doesn't know that we are chasing him, and he may not be as fast as us."
"Furthermore, if we run out of horsepower and the horses are exhausted, we can only pursue them on foot, which will be counterproductive in the end."
Lieutenant General Ai Zhong is relatively calm, not as anxious as Xia Feng, and looks at problems more rationally.
Xia Feng was helpless and shouted: "Everyone dismounts and walks, let the horses rest."
The whole army immediately dismounted and walked forward holding the reins of their horses.
...
When Xia Feng was chasing Long Chen, the army of Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl were slowly advancing behind them.
The ghost girl's sedan chair has been prepared, and Wu Sheng continues to move forward on foot.
Unlike the ghost girl, Wusheng was born as a warrior and was used to sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.
Guite followed the team, wondering whether the maid sent could catch up with him.
When the maid left the Moon Palace, she did not know that the army was about to go into battle.
When the maid returned to the ice field, she knew the news and had no choice but to catch up from behind.
Behind the team, a woman quickly chased after her on horseback. She was the maid sent by Guitai.
After catching up with the army, the maid asked where the ghost fetus was.
The ghost soldier pointed ahead, the maid dismounted and quietly caught up with the ghost soldier.
"His Royal Highness the Holy Son."
The maid came forward to pay her respects. The ghost turned around and saw the maid, and immediately pulled her aside.
"how?"
Gui Fei was very happy to see the maid. The maid thought Gui Fei liked her and said excitedly: "Thanks to the Holy Son Hongfu, I found the Crystal Palace and met Li Chengdao. The secret letter has been given to him."
Guitai breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Well done, you can go back."
After saying that, the ghosts joined the army and continued to move forward.
Although Guite humiliated and belittled Li Chengdao in every possible way, he believed in Li Chengdao's ability.
An emperor who can come to power through a coup has absolutely first-class means and ability, and he will definitely be able to do what he is told to do.
The maid watched the ghost fetus turn and leave, and stood there in despair for a long time.
After all the troops had left, the maid slowly turned around and walked towards the Hera Pass in despair.
...
Xia Feng led the war horse for a long time and let the horse eat some grass. When the horse power slowed down, the five thousand elite soldiers mounted their horses again and moved forward.
After walking for a long time, we arrived at the entrance of the valley at dusk.
"Stop!"
Xia Feng raised his hand, and the five thousand elite soldiers stopped.
"This valley is narrow and is very suitable for an ambush. Send two people to investigate first before leaving."
Xia Feng is a veteran and is cautious in everything he does.
The pursuit was very urgent, but Xia Feng still stopped and reconnoitred first before rushing on.
Deputy General Ai focused on two soldiers and asked them to enter the valley to conduct reconnaissance.
Xia Feng dismounted and rested, and the other warriors also dismounted and rested.
"General Xia, is there still an ambush here?"
Lieutenant General Ai Zhong felt that Xia Feng was a little too cautious. Long Chen's army had already retreated, how could there be an ambush here?
Xia Feng said: "That little thief Long Chen is very cunning. He killed more than 20,000 elites of the Immortal Clan in Storm Canyon, and also killed Mo Qi and Mo Xin. I am not that kind of reckless person. Don't even think about plotting against me."
Lieutenant General Ai Zhong smiled and said nothing.
The two warriors rode into the valley road and carefully observed the situation on both sides, trying to find signs of an ambush.
The valley road stretched for several miles, and the two of them walked for a long time before reaching the south exit of the valley road.
"Someone!"
Suddenly, one soldier exclaimed in a low voice, and the other soldier immediately held down the horse's head and stopped.
Outside the exit, three thousand demonic dragon battalions were arrayed in order, with Yu Wenkai standing in front and Long Chen beside him.
"Brothers, come out and talk."
Lieutenant General Yang Hu saw the two inquiring soldiers and shouted loudly to Taniguchi.
"what to do?"
The soldiers were frightened and their whereabouts were exposed.
"You go back and report, I'll go out and take a look."
The other soldier was very brave and dared to move forward when he saw the Demon Dragon Camp.
"Be careful."
After saying that, the warrior turned his horse and ran back, while another warrior walked forward out of the valley entrance, facing the Demon Dragon Camp.
"Has Xia Feng arrived?"
Lieutenant General Yang Hu stepped forward to say hello with a smile. The soldier carefully looked around and determined that only the Demon Dragon Camp was here.
"Here we are, the lord's army followed, and the queen's army also came."
The soldier looked at Yang Hu coldly, with no fear on his face.
"Tell Xia Feng to come out and lead him to death. I won't ambush him."
Yu Wenkai said coldly.
The soldier looked at Yu Wenkai, his eyes finally showing a hint of timidity.
Yu Wenkai, the demon general who specializes in killing ghosts, exudes a cold aura, and the soldiers are reminded of the past battlefield.
Long Chen stepped forward and asked with a smile: "How many of you are here?"
The soldier saw that Long Chen was young and asked, "Who are you?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "I am Long Chen. I killed Martial Saint's daughter Yin Ling, Martial Saint's wife Yin Wugou, and your Gao Qinhu, and... there are many more, those who were frozen
, I killed them all.”
"How many soldiers and horses did you bring this time? Let me see if there are enough for me to kill."
The soldier looked at Long Chen in surprise. He thought he was a middle-aged veteran, but he didn't expect Long Chen to be so young.
"If there are only five thousand people, you are dead."
Gan Xin walked over and looked at the soldier coldly.
The soldier's face changed slightly and he said, "Have you discovered it?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Yes, we discovered you, so we formed an array here."
"If there are many of you, let's go; if there are only five thousand of you, either come here and die, or go back!"
The soldier thought for a while, his face became firm, and he said slightly angrily: "We are the vanguard, the army will follow, and those who have sense will surrender obediently!"
Clang!
Gan Xin suddenly drew his sword and cut off the soldier's arm, causing the soldier to scream in agony.
"You still dare to speak harshly. I see there are only 5,000 of you. Tell Xia Feng, go back and keep your good dogs out of the way!"
Gan Xin stepped on the soldier's arm and cursed angrily.
The soldier did not dare to stay. He glanced at his arm on the ground, turned over and ran back on horseback.
