When he heard that Guitei sent people to attack, Long Chen was very happy.
This illustrates a problem, that is, Gui Fei did not guess in advance that he wanted to cross the river with an iron rope.
Without knowing it in advance, there is no need to use the lake mouth as a bait, and there is no need to worry about being attacked elsewhere.
When standing on the top of the mountain and seeing Feng Erniang and others arriving with 50,000 forbidden troops, Long Chen even felt a little funny.
What's the point of sending such troops and horses over such terrain?
Wu Jian frowned and said, "Isn't this army just a bait?"
It was obviously impossible to destroy the iron rope and he still had to rush forward. Wu Jian suspected that this was done deliberately.
Gongsun Linglong looked at the water at the foot of the mountain and said, "I dare not go down into such deep water. I am a landlubber."
She has been active in the north and has never been in the water. She dare not go down.
Long Chen smiled and said, "Whether it's a bait or not, we'll find out later."
east.
When Feng Erniang led 50,000 forbidden troops through the water and arrived near the mouth of the lake, the rising water had already submerged the hooves of the war horses.
The Imperial Guards behind them were complaining and shouting: "National Master, we can't go any further. How can we fight in such deep water!"
The soldiers behind him stopped and stopped moving forward.
They were cold and tired now, and they didn't want to fight at all.
Xuanjizi turned around and cursed sternly: "The Holy Son has ordered us to destroy the iron ropes, but how dare you disobey!"
Feng Erniang looked at the exhausted Imperial Army, but she didn't say anything.
She was not from here, so she didn't expect the lake to rise so much.
There are still several hundred meters to the lake entrance. The water is deeper and even riding a horse will be submerged and cannot go any further.
"Chief escort, what should I do?"
Xuanjizi looked at Feng Erniang. He knew in his heart that this task was impossible to complete.
There are still wolf smoke rising from the top of the mountain. It is obvious that there are people guarding and protecting them. If Long Chen personally guards them, they will go there and die.
Feng Erniang looked at the top of the mountain and was in a dilemma.
A gust of wind blew, dark clouds gathered, the sunset disappeared, and it looked like it would continue to rain.
"Chief escort?"
Xuanjizi urged Feng Erniang to make a decision.
Feng Erniang thought for a moment and said, "The three of us will step into the water to at least see the situation clearly."
"If we go back and ask questions and don't know anything, we won't be able to explain it."
The attendant nodded slightly and said, "I agree."
Xuanjizi cursed in his heart: What a fart, you are going to die!
"The chief escort is right, let's go over and have a look."
Xuanjizi didn't object.
Feng Erniang turned around and shouted: "Arrowmen, prepare! If there is a large army rushing down from the top of the mountain, fire arrows with all your strength!"
The crossbowman moved forward slowly. The bow was soaked in water. It was estimated that it could only be used once and would be discarded when he returned.
Feng Erniang and the others flew up from their horses and rushed towards the lake's mouth through the water.
On top of the mountain.
Long Chen saw the three people flying over and said with a smile: "How dare they ignore me?"
Wu Jian found it funny: "Are they tired of living?"
Long Chen held a wooden gun and said with a smile: "You guys wait at the top of the mountain while I go down."
With a leap, Long Chen lowered his body, lightly passed through the woods, and flew towards the three of them.
Feng Erniang was at the front, followed by her entourage, and Xuanjizi was at the back, deliberately keeping the distance between them.
Xuanjizi guessed that there must be someone on the mountain, so he delayed deliberately.
As you approach the mouth of the lake, you can hear the roar of water.
Feng Erniang saw the iron pillars on the stone wall with iron ropes nailed on them.
"This is it!"
Feng Erniang was overjoyed and wanted to fly over, but suddenly a shadow appeared on the mountain and stabbed Feng Erniang with a wooden spear.
Long Chen suddenly launched an attack, and Feng Erniang was not unprepared. She blew out a few poisonous arrows from the blowgun in her hand, stopped immediately, turned around and ran back.
Feng Erniang had fought with the empress, and Long Chen knew Feng Erniang's methods. When the poisonous arrow came, Long Chen waved out a burst of dragon energy, knocking away the invisible poisonous needle, and stabbed Feng Erniang in the back of the heart with the wooden spear.
Feng Erniang ran back, but her entourage had already arrived, stabbing Long Chen with a long wooden sword in her hand.
"kill!"
Long Chen roared angrily, used the force of his spear, and swung the wooden sword away. The two of them got close to each other, and Long Chen punched the follower, who flew upside down and fell into the water.
When he looked up again, Xuanjizi ran faster than Feng Erniang.
Long Chen walked on the water and continued to chase Feng Erniang.
When Feng Erniang saw that her followers were beheaded as soon as they met, she was even more afraid of fighting. She fled back to the army at full speed and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
When the Imperial Guard saw Long Chen, they were also frightened. The crossbowmen fired a wave of random arrows. Long Chen waved out a blast of true energy and continued to chase Feng Erniang.
Just as she was about to catch up, Feng Erniang dodged, plunged into the soldiers and disappeared.
"Gone?"
Long Chen was surprised, this Feng Erniang dived into the water?
No, the last time she was in Xianhe City, she used a substitute. This time she changed her clothes and disguised herself as a forbidden soldier.
When Long Chen arrived, the Imperial Army was in chaos and turned to retreat.
It started to rain and night fell. Long Chen rushed into the Forbidden Army and killed them randomly before returning to the top of the mountain.
It was already dark.
Gongsun Linglong watched from the top of the mountain and exclaimed: "If we ambush in the east, all these tens of thousands of forbidden troops will die."
Gan Zhen said: "The ambush in the east is too dangerous. It is useless if there are few people, but it is easy to be attacked if there are too many people."
The east and west are not connected. If troops are stationed in the east, Nanliang will not be able to support it when it launches an attack. This is unwise.
Long Chen said: "Don't pay attention. It's dark. If they march like this, most of them will be drowned."
Just now, Long Chen rushed in and killed randomly, with the purpose of disrupting the formation and turning them into headless flies, scurrying around. It would be best to rush into the lake and drown.
"Let's go back."
Long Chen took the three of them back to the west cave.
Yingfeng had just seen the battle from a distance, but couldn't see clearly.
"They are indeed coming towards the mouth of the lake."
Yingfeng was a little lucky that the empress discovered it in time.
Long Chen said: "Tell the Holy Lord that it is true that Guitai sent people to sabotage this time. In other words, Guitai did not know about it in advance."
"It's understandable that those ministers didn't say it because Li Chengdao didn't say it."
"But why Li Chengdao knew it and didn't say it, I don't understand."
The leaders were Feng Erniang and the others. Xuanjizi could be called cannon fodder, but the follower and Feng Erniang were definitely not.
Especially Feng Erniang, she is now the spy of Gui Fei and cannot be sent here to die.
Therefore, Long Chen concluded that the ghost fetus had not been thought of beforehand, and Li Chengdao indeed did not say anything.
Yingfeng nodded slightly and asked: "Then..."
Long Chen said: "Let the brothers go back and return overnight. Although the march is hard, it will be hard to be soaked in the rain here."
When we returned to Xianhe City, there were houses and tents, but there was only rainwater here.
Yingfeng nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go back now, please be careful."
Yingfeng and Wu Jian immediately led the troops back.
...
The heavy rain continued, Feng Erniang mingled with the forbidden troops and slowly groped back.
She is half-ghost and can see through the darkness without stepping into a puddle, unlike other Forbidden Soldiers.
The chaotic team was getting smaller and smaller. Some people were washed away by the current, and some stepped into the pit and drowned.
Feng Erniang kept scolding her, but the sound of rain covered her voice, and the imperial army had no intention of listening to her nonsense. Bayi Chinese website
When we returned to Linhu City, it was almost dawn.
