All the explosives planted to deal with the puppets exploded, killing an estimated 80,000 to 90,000 people.
Some were directly blown to death, and some died of spontaneous combustion after being hit by magic stones and sawdust.
As soon as the wave came down, almost all the puppets in front were killed, and those behind slowly moved forward.
Gan Zhen looked to the north, feeling a little strange, and said, "Sir, I haven't seen the ghost soldiers. Are they still waiting behind?"
It stands to reason that once the explosion ahead is cleared, Wu Sheng should lead the army forward.
But after the explosion, there was no trace of the ghost soldiers, and the puppets were still moving forward.
Long Chen also discovered the problem and said: "You guys act according to the plan, I'll go take a look."
Bai Tingting immediately said: "Husband, don't take risks. The explosives are gone. It will be very dangerous if they attack us."
Li Chengdao and Long Chen were tied just now. If Martial Saint and Ghost Girl were added to the mix, Long Chen would definitely suffer.
It was too dangerous to go there at this time, and Bai Tingting was very worried.
Long Chen said: "Don't follow me. Even if I can't defeat you, I can always run away."
Martial Saint's army didn't keep up, something must have gone wrong, and Long Chen had to figure it out.
After saying that, Long Chen jumped up and flew to the north.
Li Chengdao was slowly heading south when he suddenly saw Long Chen flying over, which startled him.
"You little thief, how dare you come here."
Li Chengdao was startled and hurriedly drew his sword and prepared to fight.
Long Chen stopped and did not fight Li Chengdao.
"Are you the only one? Did the Martial Saint abandon you?"
Long Chen laughed and mocked.
Looking behind from here, we can't see the army of the Martial Saint.
It was obvious that the target of Wu Sheng's army had shifted somewhere else, or at least the direction of their attack had changed.
Is it going east or west?
Although there are defenses on both sides, the defenses are much weaker than those on the front.
Moreover, there are more than 10,000 Jianghu people scattered on both wings. We originally planned to let them attack and kill them, but now they will be beaten into dogs.
The people in the arena saw the advantage and took action. If the ghost soldiers attacked with the main force, they would definitely disperse in a rush.
Long Chen didn't expect them to play a big role because he was afraid that they would affect the morale of the army.
Despite all calculations, the Martial Saint Hui suddenly changed his mind and changed his combat strategy before the battle.
"Little beast, you didn't see them, are you panicking?"
Li Chengdao saw through Long Chen's intention at a glance.
"Hmph, the frontal defenses are only for dealing with hundreds of thousands of puppets, and the sides are the focus of defense."
"Whether the Martial Saint goes east or west, it's the same to me."
Long Chen was really anxious. Wu Sheng had made a temporary change and he had to find out immediately where Wu Sheng had gone.
"Oh, in that case, let's kill again. We were not happy just now."
Li Chengdao felt that Long Chen's condition was not right and he should be anxious to go back.
The more anxious Long Chen became, the more Li Chengdao refused to let him go.
In this battle, the most difficult person was not Long Chen or Wu Sheng, but Li Chengdao.
Wu Sheng's goal is very pure, which is to break through Yanmen Pass and kill Long Chen.
Long Chen's goal is also very clear, which is to defend Yanmen Pass, completely defeat Wu Sheng, and then counterattack.
Li Chengdao is different. He wants to play a balancing act, which will consume both Long Chen and Wu Sheng, causing losses to both sides.
Martial Saint cannot win, and neither can Long Chen.
"OK."
Long Chen couldn't show that he was anxious, so he slowly pulled out the storm sword.
However, Li Chengdao suddenly burst into laughter and took the initiative to retreat, saying: "Martial Saint has gone east. He has 90,000 ghost soldiers, more than 20,000 of my Dragon Slayer Army, and 8,000 barbarians."
"Don't be so harsh. You don't have much defense in the east. We have already detected it."
Long Chen was slightly surprised. Why did Li Chengdao take the initiative to tell him? Could it be a scam?
Seeing Long Chen's suspicion, Li Chengdao smiled and said: "Little beast, I will kill you with my own hands, but now, you'd better go back."
"If you really want to fight again, I will accompany you."
The Xuanwu sword turned into tentacles and surrounded Li Chengdao, and he was ready to fight.
Long Chen didn't waste any time and turned around and flew back to the south.
Li Chengdao just watched Long Chen leave, and the puppet army behind him continued to move forward.
"Little beast, don't let me down. You must seriously injure the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl."
Li Chengdao smiled slightly.
Wu Sheng regarded Li Chengdao as an abandoned son and a pawn, and stayed on the front to attract Long Chen's firepower, allowing him to storm the fortifications.
Li Chengdao was not angry, but very happy.
In this way, he could stay out of the matter openly and not support the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl.
Nowadays, the cultivation level of Long Chen and the Empress has greatly increased, and they are holding the Storm Sword and Phoenix Wing Boring in their hands. The Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl are definitely no match for them.
Without Li Chengdao's plundering formation, Wu Sheng and Gui Nu would be defeated.
Of course, Li Chengdao would not really sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. When Long Chen and the Empress were defending to the east, Li Chengdao would take the opportunity to attack Yanmen Pass and kill them.
Kill all the generals under Long Chen and prepare to personally attack and destroy the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the future.
Long Chen flew back quickly, while Gan Zhen and Bai Tingting waited anxiously.
"grown ups?"
"Husband, how are you?"
Long Chen's face was heavy and he said: "Martial Saint and Ghost Girl have led the army to attack the east side. There are only Li Chengdao and the puppet in front."
Gan Zhen said in surprise: "The ghost army actually doesn't fight head-on? Then why is Li Chengdao still here?"
Long Chen shook his head and said: "I don't know what Wu Sheng is thinking. I guess he wants Li Chengdao to attract attention from the front and break through from the side."
"Our defense on the east side is indeed the weakest. They only attacked because they were optimistic about it."
The frontal defense is the strongest, and the west side is also strengthened because it also faces the ghost clan.
Only the east side, which is not facing the direction of the ghost clan, has the weakest defense.
"Then we must rush back. My husband must go back to assist the Holy Lord. She cannot kill the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl by herself."
Bai Tingting said worriedly.
Gan Zhen said: "But there is Li Chengdao in the front. If you leave, who will deal with Li Chengdao?"
Li Chengdao's current cultivation level is no worse than that of Martial Saint and Ghost Girl. Without Long Chen, Gan Zhen and the others will definitely not be able to stop him.
"Just watch the puppets and stop and kill them all the way. I don't think Li Chengdao will take action."
Gan Zhen asked in surprise: "Why?"
Li Chengdao's hatred for Long Chen can be compared to a river, endless and endless.
If Long Chen is not here, Li Chengdao will definitely seize the opportunity to attack.
"There is no time to explain. Gan Zhen and Tingting stay here. If Li Chengdao comes, you should leave and don't fight him."
It was too troublesome to explain. Long Chen was sure that Li Chengdao was not willing to be the ghost slave's dog slave. His cultivation level had improved and it was time to compete with the Martial Saint and the ghost girl.
Li Chengdao has his own calculations and interests, so Li Chengdao will not fight desperately.
"As commanded."
Long Chen gave the order, but Gan Zhen and Bai Tingting didn't say anything. They completely believed in Long Chen's judgment.
Long Chen flew to Yanmen Pass as quickly as possible.
east side.
Feng Hezheng led Xichang's spies to continue monitoring the ghost clan's movements.
The fight was already going on, and Feng He felt that he could relax a bit.
"Master Feng, there are so many fire thunders planted in front of the formation, and the ghost tribe still attacks from the front, are they too stupid?"
The spies chewed the dried meat with a smile, and felt particularly relaxed as they listened to the explosions in the west.
He had the same idea as Feng He. If the battle starts in the west, it will be safe here.
