Two hundred miles to the north, Hou Qi stood on a high hill, looking into the distance with a telescope in his hand.
Thousands of ghost soldiers appeared in the camera, and Hou Qi hurriedly said to the people behind him: "Let the letter eagle fly!"
The trust eagle was released, and the waiting cavalry slowly retreated, keeping an eye on the ghost soldiers.
It was Li Man who appeared in the camera. He led a thousand dead soldiers as the vanguard, clearing the way for the Martial Saint.
"General Li, there are enemy cavalry ahead."
The dead soldier with good eyesight discovered the waiting knight in Yuncheng. Li Man looked into the distance. He had already noticed it.
Wei Ying has good eyesight, and Li Man is not bad either.
"Ignore it and move on."
Li paid no attention to these scattered waiting cavalry and continued to lead his troops forward.
A few miles behind, there is the Martial Saint's army, ten thousand dead soldiers and twenty thousand barbarians, rushing south quickly.
The soldiers are very fast, and Wu Sheng wants to take Yuncheng before Long Chen comes back.
Yuncheng is an important town in the Xixia section. As long as it is conquered, a large number of soldiers can be turned into dead soldiers, and the ordnance can be equipped with ghost soldiers.
The soldiers in the city were selected and trained to be better than the barbarians captured by Li Chengdao.
The rumble of horse hooves went south, and the Martial Saint's army advanced rapidly.
The trust eagle released by Hou Qi landed in the city, and the clerk immediately reported it to Donna.
"We're here? The Holy One hasn't arrived yet. Go and see where the Holy One is!"
When the empress set out, she sent a letter to Yun Cheng, telling Donna not to panic.
Now Donna is panicking. The Martial Saint has arrived, but the Empress has not arrived yet.
Yu Wenkai was wearing black dragon armor and had a black gun in his hand. Seeing Donna panicking, he stepped forward to comfort her: "Don't panic, we should be here almost."
Yanmen Pass is not too far from Yuncheng, so the empress has enough time.
A young general hurried over and shouted: "General Tang, the Holy One has arrived."
To the east, dust was rising, and the empress arrived with an army of 20,000 people.
Donna was overjoyed and immediately led a group of generals out of the city to greet him.
Soon, the Empress' army arrived outside the city.
"General Donna, please pay homage to your Majesty."
"The last general, Yan Gang, pays homage to His Majesty."
The general and deputy generals paid their respects, and the other generals bowed down and saluted.
The two of them are chief generals and are qualified to pay homage to the empress. There are too many other generals and their ranks are low, so there is no need to pay homage to the empress alone.
"Where is the Martial Saint? Are Yuncheng's defenses ready?"
The empress showed no politeness and directly asked about the situation in Yuncheng.
Donna replied: "Martial Saint has arrived two hundred miles to the north, and the defense is ready. Please give me your instructions."
The empress said: "Let's go into the city."
Donna and Yan Gang followed Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting, and entered Yuncheng with 20,000 troops.
Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting each led their troops into battle order. The empress found Yuwenkai, and Gan Xin and Mo Lin hurriedly came to see her.
"I am late to pick you up. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Gan Xin and Mo Lin didn't know that the empress was coming just now, so they didn't go out of the city to greet her.
"No need to be polite, how are your arms?"
Gan Xin replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for remembering me. I am okay. Thanks to King Wu and the old general, my arms can be used, but they are not as good as before."
The replacement arm will definitely not be as good as the original one, there's nothing you can do about it.
The empress then turned to look at Yu Wenkai, bowed and said: "Old general, I have to rely on you this time."
Yu Wenkai smiled and said: "Your current cultivation level is better than mine. It depends on you this time. I can only skim the formation."
Yu Wenkai only has True Realm cultivation. If he faces the Martial Saint head-on, he will definitely lose.
Only the Empress transcends the true realm and reaches the true state of cultivation. Only the Empress can compete with the Martial Saint.
"To tell you the truth, old general, I'm not sure either."
The empress told the truth and asked her to fight against the Martial Saint. She had no confidence at all.
"Can that boy Long Chen come back in time?"
Long Chen is the only hope. If Long Chen can come back, things will be easier.
The Empress and Long Chen might be able to kill the Martial Saint if they join forces.
The empress shook her head and said: "I don't know, even if I don't hide it from the old general."
Yu Wenkai understood and said: "Four hundred years have passed and they are all gone. There is no need to fear life or death."
The empress said: "When I am dueling with the Martial Saint, I ask the old general to hold his ground."
Here, the person with rich combat experience and the highest cultivation level is Yu Wenkai.
When the Empress and the Martial Saint were fighting, she would definitely not care about commanding the battle.
Donna and Yan Gang have never experienced a battle with the ghost clan, so they are afraid of chaos in the battle.
Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting are not generals, and the empress is afraid that she will not be stable.
Yu Wenkai smiled and said: "Don't worry, you go and fight, I will do the rest."
The empress nodded and went up to the north wall with Yu Wenkai and others, waiting for the arrival of the Martial Saint army.
Smoke and dust rose from the north, and at the front were a thousand dead soldiers led by Li Man. They were the first to arrive.
"Li Man? Wu Sheng has no generals left under his command."
Yang Hu laughed happily when he saw Li Man.
Tan Wenyue said: "General, I am requesting to go out to fight and capture Li Man alive."
Everyone is an old acquaintance, and Tan Wenyue knows very well what Li Man's cultivation is.
Li Man is a general under Wei Ying. He is good at detection, and fighting on the battlefield is not his specialty.
"Okay, go and come back quickly!"
Yu Wenkai knew that Li Man was not good enough. If Tan Wenyue could capture Li Man alive and defeat the Martial Saint's vanguard general, his morale could be boosted.
Tan Wenyue immediately ordered the five hundred magic dragon camps and rushed to the north of the city.
There were barriers and fortifications around Yuncheng, and explosives were buried on the ground. After Tan Wenyue left the city, he rushed north along the safe road.
When Li Man saw Tan Wenyue leading the 500 Demonic Dragon Battalion out of the city, he hesitated a little as to whether to retreat or fight Tan Wenyue.
He knew that his cultivation level was not as good as Tan Wenyue's, but there was a Martial Saint behind him. As long as he held on, Tan Wenyue would be dead when the Martial Saint arrived.
Thinking of this, Li Man raised his hand, and a thousand dead soldiers stabilized the position. Li Man stepped forward and went into battle.
"Tan Wenyue, come and die!"
Li Man pointed at Tan Wenyue and cursed, and Tan Wenyue laughed loudly and said: "Li Man, I came here to take your head as a sacrificial flag!"
Li Man was furious and cursed: "You are uttering arrogant words, but you dare to talk about taking my head!"
Tan Wenyue said with a smile: "All the generals under Wu Sheng's command have been killed by the junior generals, and you are actually asked to be the vanguard general. It's ridiculous, extremely ridiculous."
Four hundred years ago, there were many heroes, and Li Man was just a young general under Wei Ying. Wei Ying was not a good person, and Li Man was not a good person.
How could such an unknown person become a pioneer general four hundred years later without making people laugh?
"Tan Wenyue, my lord is going to fight today. It's time for you and Yu Wenkai to die!"
Li Man hated Tan Wenyue for looking down on him.
Tan Wenyue chuckled and said: "You are a vanguard general, do you dare to fight with me?"
Li Man's cultivation level is no higher than that of Emperor Zun, and Tan Wenyue is in the real realm. If the two of them fight, Li Man will definitely lose.
"You think I'm afraid of you!"
With a thousand dead soldiers watching behind him, Li Man pulled out the long knife from his waist and killed Tan Wenyue to save his face.
Tan Wenyue was secretly happy in his heart. He dismounted and rushed over, raising his saber. The two horses met, and the swords buzzed. The two passed by each other. Li Man felt that his arm was about to be broken. He didn't wait until he got back on his horse to fight again.
A cheetah pounced, and Li Man was knocked down on the spot. Tan Wenyue got back on his horse and struck down with his saber. Li Man's right hand was cut off. Tan Wenyue leaned over and pinched Li Man's Fengchi point, and carried him back like a lamb.
On the city, the soldiers saw that Tan Wenyue had captured Li Man alive with two moves, and they shouted excitedly.
Thousands of dead soldiers saw that the vanguard was about to be captured, but they did not dare to move forward to rescue him.
They were no match for Tan Wenyue. There was the same fortress in front of them as last time. The terror of explosives was vivid in their eyes. If they charged indiscriminately, they would die.
"Captain Mo, what should I do?"
The dead soldier asked a young general at the front of the team. This man was Li Man's deputy, and the captain was not the same.
