When he was in Storm Canyon, Long Chen ambushed the ghost clan once. If Gu Dao used the ambush method again this time and used the Storm Sword to sneak attack, the effect would be bad or even ineffective.
So when Long Chen set out, he planned to attack with explosives.
Xia Feng had never seen explosives before. He didn't know that explosives could be used to attack without soldiers and horses. The effect must be good.
Long Chen and Yu Wenkai deliberately formed an array outside the valley to lure Xia Feng into the valley.
When the five thousand soldiers were approaching the exit, Mo Lin detonated the explosives. The valley was narrow, and the soldiers were hit by the explosives and injured physically. In addition, these soldiers had never seen explosives. After being frightened, their formations were in chaos. The Demon Dragon Camp took advantage of the situation and rushed in.
Everything is going smoothly.
Yang Hu was very interested in explosives and wanted to know what good things they were.
Long Chen smiled and said: "This is a new gadget I made. It is best used as an ambush!"
Gan Xin said with a smile: "General Yang, if you want to know, you can ask me. I know best."
Yang Hu immediately pulled Gan Xin to ask.
Yu Wenkai looked at the corpses and white ashes in the valley and said, "Maybe you can really destroy the ghost clan."
Long Chen smiled and said: "I must destroy them. If they cannot be destroyed, there will be a catastrophe in the Central Plains."
If the ghost tribe invades the Central Plains, countless people will be eaten by then, and their bones will be exposed in the wild, and there will be no roosters crowing for thousands of miles.
"Go back and wait for the Martial Saint to come."
Yu Wenkai did not confirm Long Chen's words, nor did he deny Long Chen's words.
Martial Saint, the ghost girl is difficult to deal with, Long Chen is no match now.
But Long Chen is a man of many tricks, maybe he can do it.
The Demon Dragon Camp assembled, Long Chen and Yu Wenkai mounted their horses, and led the army to slowly retreat south.
...
Crystal Palace.
Li Chengdao slowly walked down from the entrance, and the sounds inside came out.
When I walked to the main hall, there were more than 700 people gathered inside. These people were all subordinates of Gui Fei.
Li Chengdao didn't understand why the ghost fetus wasn't used when so many people were hiding it?
Seeing Li Chengdao come in, everyone immediately became quiet.
They knew that Li Chengdao was fierce and no one dared to offend him.
"Everyone, follow me immediately!"
Li Chengdao turned around and walked out. The person behind him asked: "Where are you going?"
Li Chengdao did not look back and said coldly: "Kar Lake, Martial Saint, the Queen has set off, and the army of immortals has come out to meet the Holy Son at Kar Lake."
Some people had heard about the story of Wu Sheng and the ghost girl. When Li Chengdao said this, they immediately followed him out.
When they reached the ground, Li Chengdao turned around and asked, "There are no war horses?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. It was too cold in this place. The horses that had been ridden there were either frozen to death or starved to death. There were no more horses left.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Chengdao turned around and walked towards Kar Lake.
...
The north side of the grassland.
Martial Saint and Ghost Girl led the army to move eastward slowly. The 90,000-strong army had no horses and moved forward entirely on two legs.
Wu Sheng walked at the front of the team and hardly spoke along the way.
I have been fighting in the north and south all my life. This is the first time I am walking in a war. I always feel that my face is dull.
"I don't know if Lao Xia will catch up, but don't let that little thief escape."
General Qin Hao, who broke the formation, turned around and muttered, and Archer Zhang He immediately said: "We should catch up soon, General Xia never misses when chasing the enemy."
Wu Sheng didn't speak, and it was hard for everyone to talk. Qin Hao and Zhang He opened their mouths, and the other generals began to talk about it.
Everyone felt that Xia Feng was bound to win, and Long Chen had already been bitten.
As a mere junior, against a veteran pioneer, Long Chen would definitely lose.
The ghost girl was sitting in the sedan chair and felt very hot.
The ice and snow under our feet are gradually melting, the roads have become muddy, and the temperature has risen. Compared with the ice fields, it is too hot here.
Almost all of the 50,000 ghost soldiers brought out had set foot on the grassland for the first time. They felt that it was too hot here and the muddy road under their feet was too difficult to walk.
When the ghost soldiers complain, the priest demon will scold them and strictly order the ghost soldiers to get used to the environment here.
The grassland has just begun. When summer comes and enters the Central Plains, it will be the hottest time.
If we really hit Nanliang, the hot flashes will be even more uncomfortable.
When the ghost girl led them to chase them to Nanliang, the scorching heat and ubiquitous mosquitoes caused the ghost soldiers to suffer heavy losses.
The priest demon spirit did not want to go back to Nanliang. She hoped that Xia Feng would bite Long Chen and prevent the human army from retreating.
While the generals were chattering, dozens of warriors appeared in front of them. These people were tired and dejected. When Wu Sheng saw these people, his face became ugly.
Weiying has good eyesight. When the soldiers appeared, he could see clearly that these people were defeated soldiers.
"How could..."
Wei Ying immediately guessed that Xia Feng was born.
Seeing the soldiers coming back and the army stopped, Wu Sheng stood silently, looking coldly ahead.
Zhu Zhen looked at Wei Ying, waiting for instructions, and Wei Ying looked at Wu Sheng.
At this time, no one dares to speak or act randomly. Wu Sheng must be in a very bad mood now.
The ghost girl's sedan stopped. The ghost girl sitting inside felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, so she opened the curtain and asked, "What's going on?"
The priest demon spirit also saw the defeated soldiers in front and whispered: "Xia Feng seems to have been defeated, and... it seems that he has not come back."
The priest demon spirit did not see Xia Feng's figure, and she guessed that Xia Feng should have been killed in battle.
The ghost girl frowned slightly and turned to look to the southeast. Dozens of defeated soldiers were getting closer and closer. The ghost girl smiled coldly: "You are mocking our tribe, they are the same."
Last time, Gui Nu ordered Demon Xin and several people to hunt down Long Chen. Thirty thousand people went out, but only a few thousand came back. This incident was ridiculed by Wu Sheng's generals.
Now that the vanguard general of Wu Sheng has also died in battle, no one should laugh at anyone in the future.
The ghost girl returned to the sedan chair and was too lazy to pay attention to it. The priest and the demon also acted like they were watching a show.
The defeated soldiers walked to the front of the formation. Wu Sheng looked at him coldly. Qin Hao stepped forward and asked, "What's going on? Where is Lao Xia?"
Xia Feng was not seen among the defeated troops, and Qin Hao was very anxious.
The defeated soldier lowered his head in disgrace and said, "We were ambushed and encountered Yu Wenkai's Demon Dragon Camp in the valley ahead. General Xia fought with Yu Wenkai, but he... did not come back."
When Wei Ying heard what the soldier said, he stepped forward and asked: "Valley Road? Didn't I remind General Guo Xia? The valley road is narrow and easy to ambush. You must reconnoiter first before passing through!"
Deputy Li Man was surprised and asked: "General Xia is a veteran. How could he fall into the trap with such an obvious ambush terrain on the valley road?"
Wei Ying and the other three passed by that valley road. When Xia Feng set off for the expedition, Wei Ying warned them to be careful.
Everyone doesn't understand why Xia Feng still falls into the trap?
Wu Sheng slowly walked up to the warrior and asked, "Tell me carefully, what's going on?"
Dozens of defeated soldiers knelt down before the Martial Saint to apologize, and the two warriors at the front reported the entire incident.
After hearing this, Wu Sheng frowned and asked: "The valley road was suddenly struck by lightning?"
Everyone looked up at the dark sky. These clouds were not rain clouds and there could be no lightning strikes.
"Spring Thunder?"
Archer Zhang He asked in confusion.
Guitei listened from behind, knowing exactly what was going on.
Obviously, Long Chen had planted explosives on both sides, and Xia Feng had fallen into the trap in the valley.
Of all the people here, only Guitai knows the inside story, but he doesn't tell.
At this time, Wu Sheng was furious. If Gui Fei came out to speak, he would definitely be scolded. He asked Gui Fei why he didn't say anything beforehand.
Therefore, the ghost child chose to remain silent.
