"The battle at Yanmen Pass is over. Yu Wenkai and the others should be approaching the Hera Pass. I'm going to pick them up."
When they were in Yuncheng, Long Chen and Yu Wenkai discussed the time to send troops.
When the ghost tribe was halfway through their march, Yu Wenkai led the army out.
After the battle at Yanmen Pass began, Yuwen Kai almost arrived at the Hera Pass.
At this time, the defense of the Hera Pass must have been extremely weak. Yu Wenkai led his troops to break through the Hera Pass, took the opportunity to invade the ghost capital, and massacred the ghosts in Yuecheng.
The holy beast followed Yu Wenkai into the ice field.
When Wu Sheng leads his army back to Hera Pass, Yu Wenkai should return to Hera Pass and then return south to Yuncheng.
Yu Wenkai should have enough time to complete this task. The danger lies in whether the ghost girl will hunt her down after discovering that Yuecheng has been massacred.
If the ghost girl goes out in full force to hunt down Yu Wenkai again, Long Chen must respond.
Yu Wenkai is not the opponent of the Ghost Girl, nor the opponent of the Martial Saint.
As for Li Chengdao, he has broken up with Wu Sheng and will never appear in the ice field again.
Therefore, the empress planned to return to Yanmen Pass with Di Luoxi and wait for the beginning of spring before sending out troops. Long Chen must lead the counter-scale army to the Hera Pass to meet Yu Wenkai.
"There are only three hundred people left in the Reverse Scale Army. How will you respond? I'll go with you."
Di Luoxi wants to lead the Long family army and Long Chen together.
Long Chen said: "It's too far from here to the Hera Pass, and it would be bad if there are too many people."
"Ni Lin has few soldiers, carries few things, and marches quickly."
"Besides, there are many soldiers and horses in Yuncheng. Yu Wenkai will also bring more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. The only thing missing is a general. I can go there."
This place is still far away from the Hera Pass. If you take the Long family army there, you must have a logistics force, and the march will be very troublesome.
With only the Reverse Scale Army, you can travel lightly, be faster, and don't need logistics. You can just carry your own things.
"Let Long Chen go. You lead the army back to Yanmen Pass and prepare to march after the spring."
The empress advised Di Luoxi not to go, but Di Luoxi curled her lips and said, "Okay, you won't take me with you."
Soon, Wu Jian and Gan Zhen came to meet them.
"Major General."
"Greetings to the Holy One."
"Greetings to King Wu and respects to the Holy One."
The two of them worshiped Long Chen first, and then the empress.
Everyone present didn't care and thought it was nothing. Both Long Chen and the Empress were the same and there was no distinction between them.
"Gan Zhen, ask the brothers of the Anti-Lin Army to prepare things, and we will continue walking west."
After Long Chen ordered, Gan Zhen asked: "Are we the only ones following King Wu?"
Long Chen nodded, and Gan Zhen bowed excitedly: "Yes!"
Gan Zhen immediately sent an order for the three hundred rebel troops to ask the logistics army for supplies, including weapons, firearms and dried meat.
At the same time, he told everyone that they were the only ones to follow Long Chen and continue heading west.
This is a special honor. The Nilin Army is very excited and immediately replenishes its military resources.
Wu Jian asked: "Major General, why are you and Gan Zhen going west?"
Long Chen informed the matter, and Wu Jian said: "That's it, then should we divide some of our troops and go to Yuncheng?"
Wu Jian's original intention was to strengthen Yuncheng's defense.
Long Chen said to the empress: "Old Wu is right. Yuncheng is closer to the Hera Pass. We can transfer the soldiers and horses from Yanmen Pass to Yuncheng, and set off from Yuncheng after the beginning of spring."
The empress nodded and said: "It's good. After this time, the ghost clan should be unable to invade Yanmen Pass. It is better to start from Yuncheng."
The replenishment of the Nilin Army's military resources was quickly completed, and Zhang Qian and other generals gradually gathered together with the Long Family Army.
Long Chen talked to the Empress about something, and then led the Rebel Scale Army to continue heading west.
Watching Long Chen leave, Di Luoxi was a little unhappy and muttered: "If you don't take me with you, you'll be a dead eunuch!"
The empress said: "Don't be childish, Long Chen has his own considerations."
The Long family army gathered together, and the empress joined the emperor's order and took all the soldiers and horses back to the southeast.
...
South of the Hera Pass.
Two ghost soldiers were gliding quickly on the snow on sleds.
They are the scouts of the mountain pass camp, responsible for patrolling and guarding.
After the ghost army left, more than a thousand ghost soldiers remained at the mountain pass to guard the ice city.
The ghost soldiers left behind were very poor in cultivation, and some were even old and weak.
The cold wind blew from the canyon, and the snow on the ground was blown away like dandelions. The sky was covered with snowflakes, and the visibility was very poor.
"Your Majesty led the army south to attack Yanmen Pass, and we are still patrolling here."
A ghost soldier said very dissatisfiedly.
"Who told us that our cultivation is poor and we can only stay here. I really envy them. After entering the Central Plains, we can eat endless meat and drink endless blood."
Another ghost soldier said even more dissatisfied.
They believe what Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl said, they will definitely be able to break through Yanmen Pass this time and enter the Central Plains, where there are countless people serving as food for them.
They were envious of the ghost soldiers who followed the ghost girl on the expedition, and felt that they had suffered a great loss by staying at the mountain pass to guard Bingcheng.
"Forget it, I heard that the Central Plains is huge and they can't finish it. It will be our turn next time."
The ghost soldier said expectantly.
"The wind and snow are so strong, let's go back quickly. This place is not as comfortable as our holy land."
Another ghost soldier complained, turned around and walked slowly north.
At this moment, a white shadow suddenly appeared behind him.
The ghost soldier sensed the danger, turned around quickly, and saw a huge beast appear, and slapped his forehead hard with his claws. The ghost soldier's brain exploded instantly, his skull was blown away, and the other ghost soldier screamed in fright. , the beast immediately turned around, slit the ghost soldier's throat with one claw, and the ghost soldier fell to the ground on the spot.
This beast is none other than the Holy Beast.
When Yu Wenkai's army arrived near the Hera Pass, the Holy Beast was responsible for exploring the way in front, followed by the Long Family Army and the Nilin Army.
The reason is simple. The holy beast is not afraid of wind and snow, and can even use wind and snow as cover.
The holy beast killed the two patrolling ghost soldiers and continued to move forward.
Yu Wenkai followed with Yang Hu, Tan Wenyue, Gan Xin and Mo Lin.
The corpse of the ghost soldier on the ground was still warm. Tan Wenyue immediately drew his knife, cut open the chest of the ghost soldier, dug out a pair of heart and liver, and said with a smile: "This beast is so wasteful, losing his warm heart and liver like this."
Yang Hu ran to the other corpse, dug out the heart and liver, and ate it immediately.
Yu Wenkai said: "Brothers haven't eaten yet, you two eat first."
Yang Hu and Tan Wenyue devoured the food and said with a smile: "There will be plenty later, brothers, you can eat as much as you want."
While eating and walking, we soon arrived near the Hera Pass.
The wind in Storm Canyon temporarily stopped, and the camp at the mountain pass gradually became clearer. A sparse ghost soldiers could be seen walking around in the city, all of them looking listless.
Their thoughts were the same as those of the two patrolling ghost soldiers. They felt that the ghost girl would suffer a loss if she did not lead them on the expedition, so they all acted like a fool.
"It's boring. They go to the Central Plains to eat meat and drink blood, while we are here blowing the cold wind."
The ghost soldiers stood on the tower made of ice and complained very dissatisfiedly.
"Isn't that right? We are enjoying the breeze here. If you don't take us with you next time, I will go back to my hometown."
Other ghost soldiers complained and were dissatisfied.
"The wind has stopped, I'll go down and rest."
A ghost soldier suddenly jumped from the tower.
Just after landing, the storm started to appear again.
The ghost soldier said strangely: "What's going on? Didn't it just stop?"
The wind in Storm Canyon is stronger in winter, but it is also regular. It is impossible for the wind to stop and start again.
So the ghost soldiers felt very strange and wondered what was going on.
"ah!"
"Enemy attack, someone sneak attack!"
Before the ghost soldiers could think clearly, they heard the screams of other ghost soldiers.
