When Yu Wenkai asked about the holy beast, Mo Lin thought that Yu Wenkai found the dried meat unpalatable and wanted to eat the flesh and blood of the holy beast, so he immediately advised Yu Wenkai not to mess around.
"What are you thinking about? I didn't want to eat it. I just felt strange. Where did that beast go?"
"We're about to arrive at the Hera Pass. That beast, don't rush in on impulse."
I don’t know how many ghost soldiers are left in Hela Mountain Pass. Yu Wenkai needs the help of the holy beast.
In a melee, the ability of the holy beast is very important.
"I think that the holy beast is a trustworthy spirit beast. It has agreed to attack with us, so it should not act without authorization."
Gan Xin took a puff of cigarette and said slowly.
In this kind of ice and snow, being able to smoke your favorite tobacco is truly the most beautiful enjoyment in the world.
"That's fine, but don't delay our affairs."
Yu Wenkai actually didn't trust the holy beast. Even though he said this, he was still worried in his heart.
That night, the army rested and waited for the next day.
...
Camp south of Yanmen Pass.
The tents were set up in a haphazard manner, bonfires were lit between the tents, and people from the rivers and lakes gathered around the bonfires and shouted loudly.
During the daytime battle, those who followed Zhuang Ling'er on the left got a big advantage. Almost every sect captured ghost soldiers, or at least the remaining limbs of the ghost clan.
However, those who followed Meng Yidao to fight on the right almost all failed, and Mao did not get any.
The sects who got it were elated, while those who lost it were furious and cursed Meng Yidao for being useless.
"Damn it, what way did Meng Yidao lead him? He ran into Wu Sheng and the ghost girl head on, and he almost lost his life."
A middle-aged man cursed loudly.
"I think Meng Yidao did it on purpose, just to make us die."
Another woman followed and yelled.
Someone started to curse, and others followed suit, venting their anger during the day.
Amidst the shouts and curses, an old man stood up and said: "Everyone, Meng Daxia is still lying in the pharmacy. If he knew that the Martial Saint's army was attacking from the right, how could he rush forward alone? Did he not want his life?
"
The old man who spoke was none other than Yin Lingxiao.
"Old man Yin, don't just act like a good boy when you get an advantage. Who doesn't know that you captured more than a dozen ghost soldiers this time!"
"That's it, you get an advantage by following Zhuang Nuxia. You don't have back pain when you stand and talk."
"You got so much, how about giving some to us."
"Jianghu morality, we didn't get anything, you should give us some."
The persuasion was useless, and he was asked for ghost soldiers. Yin Lingxiao became angry and said: "We have dozens of people killed in the battle, and only five of the elders died in the battle. How many of you have died!"
"We followed the Zhou army in pursuit for hundreds of miles, but you saw the ghost army running faster than rabbits!"
"If you want the ghost soldiers in my hand, you have to pay with your life!"
Yin Lingxiao's cultivation level was high, and those who were ready to move suppressed themselves again.
After being scolded by Yin Lingxiao, the people around him calmed down a bit.
At this time, a man with a folding fan walked up to the bonfire and said with a smile: "Everyone, if there is gain, there must be loss, and if there is loss, there must be gain. No advantage in the world is in vain."
"Headmaster Yin did get a lot of ghost soldiers today, but those were obtained by his disciples' hard work."
"You all say that Meng Yidao is not good enough and will lead you to death, but tell me, which of you died?"
The person who spoke was none other than scholar Li.
Glancing at everyone, Scholar Li continued: "Meng Yida didn't harm you. He was the first to go back. He dared to fight against Wu Sheng. Which of you would dare?"
"If King Wu hadn't arrived in time, Meng Yidao would have died under Wu Sheng's sword."
Scholar Li's words made everyone speechless.
In fact, many people saw the situation at that time, and they just looked at it. No one dared or wanted to go and help.
"I am also ashamed. I was also afraid at that time and did not dare to help Meng Yidao."
Scholar Li shook his head in shame.
He Qingsong stood up and said: "Scholar Li is right. I admire Meng Yidao for his courage to confront Wu Sheng head-on."
Martial Saint is a top master, and He Qingsong really admires Meng Yidao for daring to fight against the enemy alone.
If it were He Qingsong, he would not have such courage.
After a few words, he finally made the people who were shouting speechless speechless.
"Of course, you all came here for the ghost soldiers, and today you came back empty-handed. It's normal for everyone to feel unwilling."
Scholar Li continued: "The third princess just called us to discuss matters and agreed to set out early tomorrow morning to hunt down the escaping ghost soldiers. If you have the guts, you can follow them out of the customs."
"However, the ugly words are ahead. There is a blizzard outside the customs. You can decide for yourself whether you can come back alive after you go out."
"That's it for now, that's it."
After saying that, scholar Li, He Qingsong and Hong Xiao left.
Today, the three of them followed Meng Yidao and turned around to fight, and everyone watched.
Emperor Lingyi gave the three of them a high look and allowed them to enter the Long Family Army camp and take whatever they wanted from the armory, including firearms.
Tomorrow, the three of them will prepare to go on an expedition with the Long Family Army.
The three of them have obtained the flesh and blood of the ghost clan, and what they want is better practice skills.
To obtain the cultivation technique, one must gain Long Chen's approval and must have military merit.
After the three people left, Yin Lingxiao also stood up and said: "If you want something, go get it on your own. There will be a chance tomorrow. Don't scold me here, like a waste."
After saying that, Yin Lingxiao also left.
Returning to his camp, Yin Lingxiao asked his disciples to pack up their things and head south overnight.
There were too many jealous people and it was not safe to stay here. He planned to return to the sect overnight.
With these dozen ghost soldiers, it is not a problem for the sect to flourish.
After Yin Lingxiao left, many sects that obtained ghost soldiers also quietly left the camp and returned to the mountain gate.
Almost all those left behind did not get the ghost soldiers and planned to go out with the Long Family Army tomorrow to give them another try.
...
The sky was gradually getting brighter, and Wu Jian had already selected 10,000 elite Long family troops to form a formation.
The Long family's army was all elite, and Wu Jian selected elites from among the elites, a total of ten thousand people.
Gan Zhen's Ni Lin Army has been prepared for a long time, and all 300 Ni Lin Army have participated in the battle.
The soldiers from Beidaying and Nanliang were also ready. They had eaten early and brought dried meat and weapons.
When it snows in winter, you don’t need to bring water, just eat the snow.
Tuzhi selected five thousand elite soldiers from the barbarian army, led by Basi and Shi Jingxiang.
During the discussion last night, the emperor ordered Tuzhi to select three thousand elite soldiers. Tuzhi felt that there were five thousand elite soldiers in Beidaying and Nanliang, and he could not be less than them, so he secretly added two thousand, for a total of five thousand.
Twenty-five thousand elite soldiers formed an array, and Yufu State selected 50,000 elite soldiers to transport food, weapons, and gunpowder.
The barbarians selected some war horses, but not many, and most of them were transported by manpower.
The things were placed on the sled and several soldiers took turns pulling them forward.
Behind the regular army, thousands of Jianghu people gathered.
These people also gathered south of the pass very early, waiting for the Long family army to set off.
The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty has logistical supplies. Following the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if it is really about to starve to death, the officers and soldiers will definitely not leave it alone.
Therefore, it is wisest to set off with the Zhou army.
Wu Jian glanced at these profit-seeking people and did not drive them away.
"Old Wu, these people are really annoying, why don't you get rid of them?"
Gan Zhen hates these people. Their behavior yesterday was disgusting.
Wu Jian shook his head and said: "Forget it, they can search for the lone ghost soldiers and let them act as hunting dogs."
For their own benefit, these people will definitely try their best to find traces of the ghost soldiers, and keeping them will be useful.
The army was ready, and Di Lingyi and Di Luoxi came out wearing armor.
"Everyone, you are going out today to hunt down the ghost tribe. It will be a difficult journey. I would like to thank you in advance."
The emperor ordered Yi to salute all the officers and soldiers, and all the officers and soldiers quickly returned the salute.
"Without further ado, let's go!"
The sealed gate of Yanmen Pass was opened, and the two princesses shouted to set off. Twenty-five thousand elite troops and more than fifty thousand logistics troops marched northward in a mighty manner.
