Chapter 164 Three Thousand, Breaking One Hundred Thousand!

"Rumble--"

A warrior at the Xuan Xiang realm, even if he is far inferior to a Martial Saint, is no longer a human being.

Every time the two fought, there would be a deafening buzzing sound. In the wilderness, the soil that was still moist after the rain was exploded into pieces of earth with grass under the stranglehold of the strong energy.

"Deng Feng!"

The giant axe and the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in Peng Yunheng's hands were in a stalemate, a pure battle of energy. "People in the Central Plains and the southeast say that you are extremely loyal. How could you be willing to follow a young boy just to save your life? It seems that you are just a person who seeks fame and reputation and is afraid of death!"

"You old bastard! How dare you insult me?!"

Deng Feng was speechless.

No matter what, he has already been branded as a traitor and surrendered general.

And this time.

He couldn't take action, and had to pretend to be someone else. He couldn't use weapons on the battlefield. He had been holding back a nameless anger in his heart, and at this moment, under the insults of the enemy general, he could no longer hold back and it completely exploded.

Rumble!
On the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, the almost tangible energy was like a ferocious tiger, biting the giant axe tightly, as if it wanted to bite the blade of the axe directly off.

Peng Yunheng on the opposite side couldn't stop his arms from shaking.

He shouted loudly, and tried his best to repel the surrendered general of Qing State, and then fought and retreated: "Cover me!"

"Shhhhh-"

however.

When Peng Yunheng looked back, he discovered that most of the cavalrymen around him had died without him noticing!
Chen Sanshi's arm drew the bow so fast that it was almost invisible. The sound of the bowstring was like the strings of a guitar. The arrows almost formed into black lines, and the cavalry without shields died instantly.

For those with shields, the horses under their crotches will die first, and the cavalry will be shot to death the moment they fall to the ground and expose their flaws, which means they can only resist one more arrow.

"Transform your energy, open your meridians, and be at the forefront!"

Peng Yunheng roared: "He is just one person! Anyone who kills the white-robed man will be granted a title of nobility regardless of his realm—"

"kill!"

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.

Two lieutenant generals held up shields, and four Hua Jin warriors followed closely behind.

These people were the generals selected from various parts by Peng Yunheng when he challenged the enemy.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

"hiss--"

The sound of arrows hitting shields continued to ring out.

Even if the horses they were riding were killed, the generals could still get up quickly. After all, they were all mid- to high-level generals, and they could quickly get close to the enemy if the enemy did not run away and deliberately keep their distance.

"Mr. Chen, my grandfather's Marquis, it's up to you!"

"go to hell--"

A total of seven generals attacked simultaneously from all directions.

"Why are you so impatient to bring the head to me, Chen?!"

"Keng——"

The Zhenyue Sword was unsheathed.

The sword light flashed.

Immediately, the heads of two Hua Jin masters fell to the ground.

On the left side, a Tongmai lieutenant general, holding a Mo Dao in his hand, chopped down fiercely, but was blocked by the iron-framed bow. Not only that, there was also active force wrapped around the bow, which caused him to be blown away by the terrible force.

The iron-framed bow is made of black iron and has a sharp blade at the tip of the bow, making it a magical weapon in itself.

Chen Sanshi waved the big bow in his hand, and his killing efficiency was even faster than shooting arrows. Within a dozen rounds, seven or eight middle and senior generals were all killed under the horses' hooves.

Then, it was a complete hunting and massacre.

More than two hundred riders.

When they were only seven or eight miles away from the Dasheng military camp, only the last twenty or so people were left.

the other side.

Deng Feng also caught up with Peng Yunheng again. His long sword fell like a dome, and the sword energy rolled in, almost tearing the earth apart.

"boom!"

Peng Yunheng raised his axe to block again.

But this time, he no longer had the energy to protect his horse with his Qi. The horse could not withstand such an impact. Its bones exploded and its broken limbs sank directly into the mud.
Having lost his horse, Peng Yunheng had to fight on foot.

At times like this, the advantages of having a mount are revealed, with its commanding position, impact force, and sustained speed...

Peng Yunheng is inferior to his opponent, so how can he be his match?

He had to burst out with the speed of a warrior at the Xuanxiang realm, turning into a residual shadow and rushing forward. The last section of distance was left, and that was where his own army and three Xuanxiang generals would come to support him!

"Ba Ye!"

"help me--"

His voice echoed across the wilderness.

Miles away.

The three Xuan Xiang Realm generals who came on horseback, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers, heard it clearly.

"Isn't this General Peng's voice?"

Fan Shuzhen frowned, "We ordered him to challenge the enemy, but he got beaten like this? That unarmed general was so brave and invincible?!"

"Oops!"

Ran Jingxuan looked solemn. He looked at the abnormal expressions on the faces of the soldiers around him and said, "We have fallen into a trap again. They deliberately did not stay outside Hulao Pass, but led the battlefield here. The purpose is to let the soldiers see how embarrassed General Peng is."

"Why did Lao Peng come to this?!"

You Jingzhi said in disbelief: "Can that man really beat him to the point of begging for mercy and help?"

"It must be a large army attacking!"

Fan Shuzhen said in a deep voice: "Tell the soldiers that there is most likely a main force of Shengren ahead. Just crush them and annihilate the enemy. Maybe Hulao Pass will fall without a fight!"

"Crash-"

The army quickly rushed up the slope.

Finally, I could vaguely see the scene five miles away.

only……

There is no army there.

Sheng people, only two riders!
One person chased Peng Yunheng and beat him.

The other one chased and killed many cavalrymen.

Just two people!
Peng Yunheng had clearly led over 200 riders out before, but they were killed by two people, leaving only seven or eight people?!
"Who is this!"

Ran Jingxuan was as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "He is holding the Qinglong Sword in his hand, and he doesn't seem to be the same person as Yin Songya in the battle."

"Li Gong lied to me?!"

Fan Shuzhen gritted his teeth and said, "According to this calculation, there are at least three Xuan Xiang realm masters in Hulao Pass, plus Chen Sanshi in white robe who can use the Heavenly Book. Fengchu Fang Qingyun may also have the immortal arts left by Sun Xiangzong. How can we fight when we are not sure about the strength of the troops?"

"Don't panic, Master Ba!"

You Jingzhi dragged a chain with a black iron flying claw at the end of it. He looked murderous and said, "It's very simple. Can't we just leave them here?!"

After reminder.

Fan Shuzhen finally reacted.

These two people are too rampant!

How dare two people break into the camp of a hundred thousand soldiers? !

Moreover, the terrain here is vast, so it is impossible for there to be an ambush!

"kill!"

"Keep these two people in front of me at all costs!"

Fan Shuzhen shouted to the troops in front.

"Old Peng!"

You Jingzhi warned: "Hurry up, he can't hold on any longer!"

……

"Bang bang bang!"

With the coordinated explosion of internal energy and physical body, Peng Yunheng successfully opened up some distance at first, but it was not a long-lasting strategy and he was soon caught up by Qingcong Ma, and the fight continued for several more rounds.

He began to suffer injuries.

One wrong step, one wrong step!

In a fight, once one flaw appears, it means countless flaws will appear immediately.

soon.

The black iron armor on Peng Yunheng's body became badly damaged, with more than a dozen knife wounds overlapping and blood flowing out.

This Laizhou Dengfeng...

It is more than just the achievement of the Xuanxiang realm!
He has probably already achieved perfection, and if he takes one more step forward, he will become a Martial Saint!

"boom!"

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade was like a green dragon caught in Deng Feng's hand. It descended from the sky with overwhelming force, first tearing apart Peng Yunheng's axe energy, then the protective energy, and finally smashing down with a bang. The giant axe in his hand fell off, and his body floated back more than thirty feet before landing on the ground in an unnatural posture, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Before he could catch his breath, the enemy general came again.

"what!"

Peng Yunheng roared, picked up the huge rock next to him and threw it at the opponent, then ran away regardless of anything. In front of him, there was already a huge army of Nanxu, and he even saw Fan Shuzhen and others who were caught in the flood.

"Ba Ye!"

"help me--"

……

"quick!"

Ran Jingxuan urged loudly.

pity……

It’s still too late!

Just when the two sides were only two miles apart.

Deng Feng still caught up.

"Old man, where are you escaping to——"

The knife fell.

Someone died!

In front of thousands of soldiers and in full view of everyone, their vanguard general, one of the strongest fighters in this expedition, was cut in half by a single sword. Under the terrifying aura, half of his body exploded into pieces, while the other half flew out directly.

"Crash!"

The Nanxu cavalrymen who were at the front almost stopped their charge after seeing this scene. It was not until they received a reminder from the rear that they continued to move forward, but their momentum had already collapsed by three points.

"so many people?"

Deng Feng looked at the densely packed torrent of cavalrymen and asked, "General Chen, what should we do next?"

"Stay with me!"

"Make sure you are not detained, and then..."

"Kill the thousands of troops!"

"drive--"

Instead of leaving, Chen Sanshi went towards the enemy army. He did not slow down until he was a mile away. He opened fire again with the bow in his hand. Although there was only one person with one bow, the arrows he shot formed a piece in the sky and finally fell into the dense enemy army like rain.

"Crash-"

"hiss--"

In an instant, more than a dozen riders fell.

at the same time.

The loud voice resounded throughout the earth.

"I was born a hunter. Since I joined the army, I have rarely had the opportunity to go hunting in the mountains. Today, I will use these 100,000 pigs and dogs of yours to practice my skills, so as not to lose my ability to make a living!"

One hundred thousand pigs and dogs?!
This time, let alone the three main generals including Fan Shuzhen.

Even the ordinary soldiers felt greatly humiliated. They were all burning with rage and wished they could immediately capture General Chen and skin him alive. Unfortunately, their rage was quickly extinguished by the rain transformed from the arrows.

Every time they advanced ten feet, seven or eight of their comrades would fall. The anger and humiliation in their hearts gradually turned into fear as the number of people around them decreased.

"Shield!"

"Shield cavalry in front!"

A lieutenant general shouted orders.

The Nanxu army quickly made corresponding adjustments.

"Shield?"

Chen Sanshi just felt it was interesting to gallop across the wilderness.

Holding a shield, the ghost vein arrows are not enough and they are indeed unable to kill anyone.

But you can’t shoot people to death?

Can't you shoot the horse to death?!

How many horses can you, the Nanxu cavalry, kill for me?

"Om-"

The bowstring continued to shake.

One horse after another
All of these war horses are precious resources that have been cultivated with huge amounts of manpower and material resources. If one is killed, one is less, and there is no place to replenish them in a short period of time.

Within a few breaths, dozens of horses died.

The soldiers of Nanxu soon discovered a terrible fact: they could not catch up at all!

Even if they had thousands of troops, at this moment they could only be hit by arrows and die a lot from a mile away. They did not pose any threat and were completely being fooled. Two people were fooling tens of thousands of people!

They really...

Became a hundred thousand pigs and dogs!

Their reaction to the term "pigs and dogs" went from being furious at first to becoming numb and then slowly coming to feel that there was nothing wrong with it.

Aren't these just a bunch of pigs and dogs?

Chasing a Hunter?!
Under repeated attacks, the 100,000-strong army had no will to fight at all when facing the two riders in front of them!

The cavalry at the front even deliberately slowed down.

I dare not chase him any further.

No one wants to die.

Again.

Only the elite among the elite have the will to fight to death. No matter how large the number of people in the rest of the team is, they will be afraid of death, especially when they know that resistance is futile, they will give up completely.

If there is really no other choice, we can only let these two people come in arrogantly and leave arrogantly.

however……

Something even more incredible happened.

Even though they deliberately let the two riders in front of them escape, they actually did not run away!

They stopped too!
"Why don't you chase the Nanxu bandits? I haven't had enough fun yet!"

The general named Chen just stood there and shot arrows to kill people!
"Dark Iron Shield!"

"quick!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Wait for the generals behind to catch up!"

"..."

An army of tens of thousands of people.

It is naturally impossible to go out together.

At that time, after hearing the signal of the whistling arrows, the cavalry responsible for patrolling the camp would be the first to chase out, and the central army where the commanders were would arrive later. In this life, you are still in the crowd of thousands of troops, and although you can see the situation ahead, it still takes time to get to the front.

The current situation can only be left to the generals.

"Boom boom boom!"

One after another, the heavy black iron shields formed an iron wall.

This time, he was finally spared the pain of the arrows.

See this.

The white-robed general in front couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"On the grassland, the barbarians call pigs and dogs Aqina and Saisihei. You are the real Aqina and Saisihei! How come you got locked up in the pigsty while chasing after the pigs?!
"Deng Feng, tear down their pigsty!"

"Order!"

The green horse accelerated rapidly, and Deng Feng broke into the enemy camp alone. His sword was like a siege hammer, which directly made a huge gap in the iron wall made of heavy black iron shields. Then he started to kill indiscriminately, breaking his defensive formation into pieces. Before being surrounded, he broke out of the siege with the help of the exotic warhorse.

After the "pigsty" was demolished, arrows began to come again.

The soldiers of Nanxu fell one after another. If the vanguard of the army of 100,000 had not had the generals to rely on, they would probably have turned around and retreated to the camp.

But at this time...

The three generals at the Xuanxiang realm finally caught up.

"Kill me!"

You Jingzhi jumped up, left his warhorse, and flew more than twenty feet into the air. He finally managed to catch up and chopped down with the saber in his hand.

"boom!"

The next moment, he was blown away, and after turning for several weeks in the air, he fell back to the ground. He retreated several steps until a soldier blocked him with a shield, which helped him stabilize his body.

"Ba Ye!"

"This person is amazing!"

"Only you can handle it!"

"..."

"Keep him!"

Ran Jingxuan said: "Eighth Master, as long as we can hold them for a moment, they will surely die under the siege of the army! We must not let them escape, otherwise..."

He looked at the soldiers around him, paused, and continued, "Morale has completely collapsed! It will take at least another half a month to restore morale!"

"give it to me!"

Fan Shuzhen took the lead and quickly left the army.

"Shhhhh-"

Arrow after arrow flew towards him, and he blocked them all with the edgeless sword in his hand.

Hold on!

They said there were only two people in Potian!
But riding a horse, you can't catch up at all!
"what--"

Uncle Fan roared, his muscles knotted, veins bulged, his body swelled, and even his black iron armor was bulged. No one knew what martial arts he used, but he stepped on the ground, leaving a huge deep hole. Then he moved like a tiger with wings, so fast that it was difficult to catch with the naked eye. In a short time, he caught up with the two exotic war horses.

"Is this my royal horse?!"

As he got closer, he finally recognized his horse: "Beast! Why don't you stop right now!"

When the blue horse saw its original owner, it obviously hesitated.

But under the gaze of Chihiro next to her.

The blue horse quickly tensed up and ran even faster.

"Beast——"

His warhorse was taken away, and he helped others kill his own brothers.

Fan Shuzhen fell into a rage.

Fortunately, Qingcong Ma hesitated for a moment, which gave him an opportunity. He swung his huge sword without a blade and chopped it down. He fought with Deng Feng and the two were evenly matched.

but……

The burst brought about by overload operation is time-limited and cannot continue endlessly. After only two or three convergences, Fan Shuzhen was a little overwhelmed and was forced to slow down. He could only stand there and watch the two horses, one white and one red, gallop away.

"Shhhhh-"

Several more arrows flew over his head.

He directly shot and killed several cavalrymen behind him.

then.

It was the extremely arrogant voice of the white-robed general.

"Too many pigs and dogs, too few sharp arrows!"

"Chen is also tired today, let's continue another day!"

"..."

The purpose is achieved.

Chen Sanshi signaled to wait for Deng Feng to catch up.

Today there are two of them.

Killing a general and nearly a thousand soldiers in front of an army of one hundred thousand was enough to scare the Southern Xu army into hesitation and then the last step could be carried out smoothly.

……

"My horse!"

"My horse!"

"what!!!"

Fan Shuzhen was helpless and furious, standing there hacking and slashing wildly.

An army of one hundred thousand.

Besides being shot at, they had to return to the barracks the same way they came, and their morale was greatly reduced.

"Deng Feng!"

In the central army tent, Fan Shuzhen threw away his weapon and shouted angrily, "This Deng Feng, can he fight me to a draw? Why is there such a fierce general outside Hulao Pass? Bring... bring Li Gong's son to me!"

Soon, a young official from the Qing Kingdom came to the tent and kept explaining that it was definitely a misunderstanding.

"Misunderstand?!

"Do you know how much loss we have suffered because of this person, Li Gong, who concealed the truth? General Peng, who has reached the Great Xuanxiang Realm!!!"

Fan Shuzhen roared, "Go ask Li Gong now! If he doesn't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't fight this battle!"

……

Yongle Mansion.

"what?!"

"The third Xuan Xiang?"

"Two people, in front of an army of 100,000, killed General Peng Yunheng of Nanxu, shot and killed nearly a thousand people, and then fled away?"

"Deng Feng?!"

"Is it Deng Feng?!"

After seeing the battle report from Hulao Pass.

Tang Wang Li Gong's hands were shaking: "Deng Feng, didn't he commit suicide? He, he surrendered to the enemy?!"

"how can that be possible?"

Liu Huanrong couldn't believe it: "General Deng has been loyal for six generations, how could he betray his country?"

"He is also a coward, pretending. His loyalty and righteousness are all fake!"

Li Gong had never been so angry.

It took him a long while to calm down: "Can't we just attack the city directly? Why, why do we give Chen Sanshi and Fang Qingyun opportunities again and again when we know they are so cunning!"

"I know what they are thinking..."

Liu Huanrong said helplessly: "Nan Xu is here to make a fortune, not to risk his life. It is normal for him to be hesitant."

"A 100,000-strong army is attacking the city. Even if 20,000 or 30,000 of them die, so what? I gave them my only son. Why don't they believe me? Why?!"

Li Gong racked his brains and said, "Bring the map and tell them that as long as they can really take down Hulao Pass, they will be able to swallow up the entire eastern part of Sheng State in the future. We only want Qianzhou and Niaozhou, and the rest will be all theirs. Don't hesitate any more. If you hesitate any more, I won't fight!

"I'm going to break out directly, I don't want Yongle Mansion anymore!
“I don’t want Sanzhou anymore!
"Let them send a hundred thousand troops to fight the Sheng people themselves! They can't even send a Martial Saint. Expect a great rout and death!"

He fought on the frontier all his life.

I have never felt as disgusting as this time.

There are so many allied troops, but they...

Just not going!

The main attack is that when a friendly army is in trouble, you remain as still as a mountain!

nausea!

It's like eating a fly!
As disgusting as that Meng Quji!
……

Nanxu Camp.

"Bastard!"

"Li Gong even made some harsh remarks in return!"

Fan Shuzhen slapped the secret letter and said, "He threatened us that if we continue to delay, he would run away and give up the three states. It was obviously him who concealed the military information first, causing us to suffer losses one after another. Military Advisor, please tell me, what should we do?"

Ran Jingxuan closed his eyes and recalled the contents of the letter: "It seems that Li Gong is not lying."

"Yeah yeah."

Li Gong's son hurriedly said, "My father sent me here to help. Isn't his sincerity enough?"

"Then there is only one possibility..."

Ran Jingxuan made a judgment: "Li Gong also fell into the trap. He was also misled and mistakenly believed that there were only 3,000 soldiers in Hulao Pass. This was done intentionally by Fang Qingyun, and it was also the trick he was best at."

"Oh?" You Jingzhi asked hurriedly, "Then according to the military advisor, how many soldiers are there in Hulao Pass?"

"Where's the scout?"

Ran Jingxuan, nicknamed "Ling Suan", asked, "Have you been gathering intelligence according to my request these days?"

"General! Yes!"

The subordinate replied, "People in Hulao Pass go to the Pianye River area to herd horses every day. They leave at 12:00 a.m. and return at 13:00 p.m. There are a lot of people responsible for herding, and it's impossible to count the exact number, but it looks like there are at least 2,000 people."

"Two thousand men just to release the horses?"

You Jingzhi was surprised and asked, "Isn't it because there are so many soldiers and horses? Could it be fake?"

The scout assured again that it was absolutely true.

"The view along the Pianye River is wide and you can see everything clearly across the river. Of course, the generals' judgment is far better than mine. Why not go and see it yourself?"

"Ah."

Ran Jingxuan set off immediately.

After suffering two serious losses, they never dared to be careless again.

Direct observation lasted for five full days.

The number of people herding was indeed over two thousand.

"Could it be..."

Fan Shuzhen asked, "Are there really 30,000 people?"

"Not really."

Ran Jingxuan pondered and said, "If there really are 30,000 people, Li Gong would not be completely unaware of it, but it is definitely impossible to have 3,000 people. I speculate that there are 15,000 soldiers and horses in Hulao Pass, three Xuanxiang generals, plus the Heavenly Book and Fang Qingyun who may know the immortal law. This is their real strength."

"Fifteen thousand……"

Fan Shuzhen stroked his weapon and said, "Hulao Pass is not easy to attack! If we really attack with all our strength, I'm afraid we will have to lose 40,000 troops to take it in a short period of time. 40,000 is too much of a loss."

"But Fourth Master..."

Ran Jingxuan patiently provided ideas: "If Hulao Pass is not taken, it will be difficult to hold Lingzhou. Once Li Gong really retreats, the Sheng army will march south to Hulao Pass. I'm afraid our trip will be in vain."

"So you mean to fight?"

If Fan Shuzhen wants to fight for the throne, he must have his own territory. Lingzhou is undoubtedly the best place. Moreover, after taking down Hulao Pass, there is still a chance to gain more, but the loss is too great...

These one hundred thousand people.

But his basic base has lost nearly half in one go, and it will probably take five to ten years to recover.

"Ba Ye!"

Ran Jingxuan saw through his thoughts: "How can a person who wants to accomplish great things be indecisive? In a word, if you want Lingzhou or even more, you must pay the corresponding price. If you hesitate, you will get nothing in the end."

"Then fight!"

Uncle Fan was shocked and said, "But what about my fourteenth brother?"

The fourteenth brother’s family is very important!

"Eighth Master, you are wrong. Our indecision will put Fourteenth Master in danger. On the contrary, only a large army can force them to return Fourteenth Master."

Ran Jingxuan paused and said, "And I have a plan that can reduce the losses."

"Military advisor, please speak quickly."

"Wait a few more days."

Ran Jingxuan looked towards the Pianye River and said slowly, "Do you remember the news that the spies in Hulao Pass passed on to us before the war? They are short of food and grass in the city, only enough to feed two or three thousand soldiers, and there is not even food and grass for horses.

"Today, they go to Pianye River to graze every day, which just proves this point.

“Wait another ten days or half a month.

"If we wait until they have used up all their food and supplies before we start, we may be able to reduce the casualties."

"Also, and most importantly."

He paused and emphasized, "Li Gong is right, we can't give them another chance!

"Pass the order down, advance 25 miles to the front of the camp!

"Ten days later, the army will march directly to the border.

"If they dare to come out and play the cavalry trick again, we will go straight to Hulao Pass!"

……

Hulao Pass.

"grown ups."

"There is not much food left."

"If we return all the war horses to Yongle Mansion and only feed them to humans, we can still hold on."

"Otherwise, even if there is grass from the Leaf River, it won't be enough."

"..."

"Report——"

"The Nanxu army is advancing twenty-five miles!"

"They also sent people to say that if we send the Fourteenth Prince back, we can still negotiate. Otherwise, after the city is captured, no one will be left alive."

"..."

A lot of bad news came in.

"It seems..."

Fang Qingyun stopped playing the flute: "They are determined to attack Hulao Pass this time. Any strategy is useless. The next step is our biggest problem."

"These past few days, the fighting has been very lively!"

Sha Wenlong said: "But after all, we have only defended for a month. We still have to defend for another two months. How can we defend?!"

The army presses the territory.

The previous method of harassment is no longer effective.

"In that case."

Chen Sanshi said: "Then let's negotiate."

"Peace talks?"

Everyone was even more confused.

Sometimes he takes the initiative to attack, sometimes he asks for peace. Which one is real and which one is fake?
No wonder.

The enemy would fall into our trap every time.

Not to mention the enemy, even they themselves don't know what they are doing.

"This is at……"

Sha Wenlong muttered, "Using a delaying tactic! I understand, General Chen, you also feel that you can't hold on, so you are planning to use a delaying tactic, right?"

"Most likely."

Almost everyone thinks so.

"It seems that Junior Brother has a good idea."

Fang Qingyun simply asked, "How can I be sure, Junior Brother, that they will accept the negotiation?"

"This is the meaning of the previous few moves."

Chen Sanshi said slowly: "The negotiation table is another battlefield. Historically, only those with strength are qualified to speak at the negotiation table.

“If we follow the previous

“We only have 3,000 people in Hulao Pass, and Sha Wenlong alone is not qualified to negotiate.

“But now, it’s different!

“In Nan Xu’s eyes, we have three Mysterious Elephants and an army of more than 10,000!
“So in their minds, they assumed that attacking the city would require a huge price to pay, but because they didn’t want to make a wasted trip, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and attack the city.

"If we tell them at this moment that there is another option, where they can get enough benefits without paying any price, do you think they will continue to attack the city?"

A Sha Wenlong is not qualified to negotiate...

Sha Wenlong's eyelids twitched when he heard this.

"What Chen Shuai said makes sense."

Deng Feng was confused and asked, "But they are Qing's allies after all. Will they really give up like this?"

"Allies?"

Chen Sanshi and Fang Qingyun smiled at each other, and the latter said, "Master Deng, not everyone is as loyal as you. The so-called allies are just two dogs fighting for meat. If one is full, will it care about the life and death of the other?"

If Nan Xu was really determined to help Qing Kingdom, why would it have dragged on until now?

"Tell Nan Xu!"

Chen Sanshi said: "As long as they promise not to attack Hulao Pass within two months, we will exchange Lanzhou and Mozhou with them after the war is over.

"These two states are both fertile lands in the south. The Southern Xu State has coveted them for a long time. To them, they are far more attractive than a mere Lingzhou. The most important thing is that they don't have to suffer any losses, and the fourteenth prince Fan Jiaxiao can also be returned to them.

“They will definitely be moved!”

"It took a long time."

Sha Wenlong said awkwardly, "We fought so many battles just for the sake of peace talks? Yes, we couldn't hold on anyway. If we could really negotiate, it wouldn't be a bad thing. But... isn't it a bit of a loss?"

"Yes."

Yan Changqing followed up and said, "General Chen, we can't make the decision on such a big matter."

"You don't need to worry about this."

Chen Sanshi said: "Ten days later, General Deng, General Sha, the two of you will enter the Nanxu Central Army Camp and negotiate with Nanxu."

"Go to their central camp?!"

Sha Wenlong suspected that he had heard it wrong.

That’s one hundred thousand people!

After entering, if the negotiation fails, won't we become lambs to be slaughtered? !

"Okay, you all go out."

Chen Sanshi expelled them, saying, "Brother and Wang Zhi, please stay."

soon.

There were only three people left in the room.

Confidant Zhao Kang and others.

Responsible for guarding and not allowing outsiders to approach.

This doesn't apply to Xia Cong and others either.

"This……"

Xia Cong originally wanted to be responsible for guarding the door, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Apparently, he is not yet General Chen's confidant.

……

"Haha~"

Fang Qingyun teased, "Junior brother, if I'm not mistaken, you're planning to have the two of us go to the enemy camp to negotiate together, right?"

"Not bad!"

Chen Sanshi said frankly: "If only Sha and Deng go, the plan is not completely sure, but if you two brothers go, it will be sure enough. But before that, I want to ask you one thing, if you encounter danger, do you have a way to save your life?"

All his sword skills were taught by Fang Qingyun.

This senior brother even made a translation dictionary of the fairy world's language and characters.

and……

He is also the master's most trusted disciple, probably no one else.

No one can compare to him.

Everything should be discussed between the two of them.

Besides, Fourth Senior Brother is a disabled person after all, and it is absolutely impossible for him to have no means to save his life.

"Have."

Fang Qingyun nodded: "But it's really just to save my life. Now you can see that I'm a useless person. Let alone sword skills, I can't even practice martial arts."

"That……"

Chen Sanshi asked, "If the Xuanxiang realm kills you, how long can you hold on?"

"uncertain."

Fang Qingyun said: "After using it a few times, it is very fragile, but it can still hold up for a while.

"Junior brother, no matter what you want to do, if necessary, just follow your ideas. As a general, you can't be indecisive. You don't need to worry about the safety of the two of us."

"Old Four is right, hesitation will lead to defeat!"

Wang Zhi agreed, "But from what you said, Junior Brother, this negotiation is likely to fail?"

Chen Sanshi did not deny it: "In that case, I'll trouble you two brothers to make the trip."

In the Battle of Mingzhou, he learned from the death of General Yu Song how to make choices and no longer had any awkward emotions:

"Besides, the matter of ceding land is of great importance. You and I cannot make the decision. We need the seal of Marshal Meng. We also need the cooperation of His Highness and others. I will trouble you to write a letter to inform them."

"no problem."

Fang Qingyun agreed immediately.

"and many more."

Wang Zhi was startled: "Sanshi, I suddenly realized something. Sha Wenlong and Deng Feng are all well-known guards of Hulao Pass. What should I do there?"

“You also have a name.”

Chen Sanshi said: "Your name is Tang Ruoshan."

"What the hell?"

Wang Zhi didn't understand.

"Lao Liu."

Fang Qingyun said: "The general who fought in the battle of Yinsong Cliff was you. Junior brother wants you to make meritorious service and then come back."

Mysterious realm.

A carrot and a pit.

Even if there are secret assassins.

They will not appear on the battlefield, but in certain assassinations.

Only Tang Ruoshan would be more credible to Nanxu.

"Go back? How can I go back?"

Wang Zhi waved his hand and said, "If you want me to go, I will go. As for the rest, I am just a bone trainer. Since I have been following you, I might as well live happily in Poyang."

"Your meridian problem should be curable."

Chen Sanshi was pondering.

When I blackmail the Xianghuo Shen Sect later, maybe I will find something to treat the meridians.

It depends on whether they are willing to give it.

"Okay, it's settled."

Chen Sanshi finished his deployment: "Two brothers, go and get ready."

……

Yongle Mansion.

"Well done, a great duo charging into the enemy camp!"

Meng Quji put down his spear wearily and returned to the central army. He began to listen to the deputy general reading the battle report sent from Hulao Pass: "I can't believe that Hulao Pass has won victory after victory with only 3,000 soldiers, and now they have killed a general! It's a pity that the troops are really insufficient, otherwise, why would we have to worry about Hulao Pass?"

"Yes, the Nanxu army has set out, and I'm afraid they will officially start attacking the city soon."

Zhan Taiming saw the second half and said, "Huh? Please make peace? Meng Shuai, look quickly, what do they mean by this?"

"It's probably a matter of interests. After all, the best solution is to delay the other side from attacking the city."

Meng Quji speculated: "Just give them the seal."

……

Nanxu military camp.

"Please?"

Fan Shuzhen looked at the letter sent by the messenger and said, "Military Advisor, Sheng said that he does not want to fight with us to the point of mutual destruction, and promised that after the war, he would exchange Lanzhou and Mozhou for Lingzhou."

"Lanzhou and Mozhou, just to exchange for Lingzhou?"

You Jingzhi said: "If this is the case, then we don't have to do anything and can get the two most fertile states in the south. What's the point of continuing to fight?"

"Yes."

Fan Shuzhen was very excited: "Military Advisor, taking over these two states will be enough for me to bide my time and my 100,000-man army won't suffer any more casualties. In a few years, it will be able to become 150,000!"

An army of 150,000 people!
Who else can compete with him for the throne? !

"and many more."

Ran Jingxuan pondered, "Wouldn't it be too disadvantageous for Dasheng to do this? The three eastern states they got from this battle are not as valuable as the two states of Lan and Mo. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?"

"It makes sense. I think it makes a lot of sense!"

Fan Shuzhen suddenly had an idea: "I know! They are heading for Ziwei Mountain! I can understand Emperor Shengren's thoughts. There must be treasures on Ziwei Mountain!"

"It is true what Master Ba said."

Ran Jingxuan knew.

The reason why Shengren took such a huge risk to fight this battle was for Lingzhou.

"How about talking about it?"

Fan Shuzhen said: "There is no harm in talking. At least we can rescue Fourteenth Brother first."

"Master Ba, be careful of your tricks~"

Ran Jingxuan said doubtfully, "I suspect that they are not sincere in negotiating, but just a delaying tactic to buy time."

"What if it's true?"

Fan Shuzhen added: "Then wouldn't we have made a fortune? The value of Ziwei Mountain to us is far less than that of the two states. Even if there are treasures on it, we can't find them. After all, Qingguo has been searching for more than a hundred years!"

"Just trying to delay us."

"If we really want to talk, it's not impossible."

After a moment's silence, Ran Jingxuan made a decision: "How about this, Master Eight, tell them that they can negotiate, but they have to send Master Fourteen back first, and then... send at least two generals in the Xuanxiang realm and Fang Qingyun to negotiate among our 100,000 troops!

"If they really dare to do so, we can talk to them. After all, the exchange mentioned in the letter is far more valuable to us than attacking Hulao Pass.

"But if they don't dare, it means they are lying!"

"color!"

Fan Shuzhen was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to reply.

……

Several days passed in a flash.

It had been drizzling during this period, and although the rain wasn't heavy, it made the already humid southeast even more humid, especially for the 100,000-strong army. They didn't have a good place to shelter from the wind and rain, and even if they had military tents, they were directly in contact with the ground, which was simply a long-lasting torture.

There was widespread resentment among the soldiers.

"Why is there no movement yet?"

Fan Shuzhen paced back and forth, his patience running out. "There has been no news on the negotiations we agreed to for several days, and Li Gong has been urging me almost every day. My head is about to explode."

You Jingzhi said: "It seems that this is really just a delaying tactic."

"Asshole! How dare you play tricks on me!"

Fan Shuzhen was furious: "Military Advisor, take action!"

"Keng——"

Ran Jingxuan drew the long sword from his waist: "Pass my order!"

"Om-"

"Rumble--"

Give an order.

An army of one hundred thousand.

Due to the large number of people, they set up a huge formation that spread over a full twenty miles!
It’s so majestic and powerful that it shakes the earth!
Come to suppress Hulao Pass!

On top of the city wall.

Even the soldiers of the Black Armor Army, who had won victory many times, couldn't help but feel a little scared after seeing this scene. This was a genuine army of 100,000, and they knew that they only had 3,000 people!
But it was at this critical moment.

A messenger arrived at the enemy camp.

"accepted?"

Fan Shuzhen looked at the words above and became in a good mood again: "Military Advisor! Look! The messenger from Hulao Pass said they are willing to accept your conditions!"

"Oh?"

Ran Jingxuan was slightly surprised: "They are willing to send two Xuanxiang generals to negotiate with my camp?!"

"Do not."

Fan Shuzhen said, "There are four of them, Sha Wenlong, Deng Feng, the unknown general, and Fang Qingyun. It seems that Ziwei Mountain is really important to them, and they are here to negotiate sincerely."

"All here?"

You Jingzhi was a little bit incredulous: "This means that 90% of the forces in Hulao Pass are being sent to our camp. This is really a sincere gesture. Military Advisor, I think we can talk about it."

"If that's really the case..."

Ran Jingxuan said: "You can try to talk to them, but I always feel like something is wrong."

"Military Advisor, I'm afraid you are worrying too much this time!"

You Jingzhi said hurriedly: "The three Xuanxiang generals are all in my central army camp, and even Fang Qingyun is here. After entering our camp, they are like lambs to be slaughtered. Don't they want to die?

"Besides, if these few people come out, Chen Sanshi, who is left behind, will probably be unable to use his full strength even if he has many tricks up his sleeve, right?"

There is no general in the Xuanxiang realm.

No matter what, the remaining Chen Sanshi is only at the Tongmai realm.

Even the previous Silver Pine Cliff Heavenly Book Formation required the unarmed warrior. The subsequent double-rider invasion of the camp relied on Deng Feng to resist warriors of the same level.

What will happen to Chen Sanshi without them?

"That's true."

Ran Jingxuan was still a little hesitant: "It's just..."

"Military Advisor, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Fan Shuzhen said: "The Emperor Longqing of Shengren is incompetent and immoral. Do you remember the Ten Days of Yunzhou? It is most likely that he did it! If there is really a treasure on Ziwei Mountain, for him, exchanging the land of two states is nothing."

Ran Jingxuan thought about it and realized it was true.

Moreover, he thought over and over again and felt that the other party was walking into a tiger's mouth. Besides, it was just a negotiation, not a decisive battle. If the talks failed, it would not be too late to continue fighting.

"military adviser."

Fan Shuzhen continued to persuade him, "Don't forget, Fourteenth Brother is still in their hands. Even if we can't reach an agreement, at least we can rescue Fourteenth Brother, right?"

"Ok."

Ran Jingxuan was finally persuaded: "In that case, let them in to talk first, but if we can't reach an agreement..."

His eyes suddenly turned gloomy, "They don't have to leave!
"Pass on my order!
"Around the central army tent, set up a formation to trap the generals. Listen to my toss of the cup as a signal!
"Then……

“Welcome the guests!

……

"Om-long——"

The gates of Hulao Pass were wide open.

Fang, Deng, Sha and Wang, without any followers, walked straight towards the army of 100,000. The black sea of ​​armored soldiers retreated through the middle like a tide, leaving a path and finally swallowed up the four of them.

"grown ups……"

"Isn't this too risky?"

Even Zhao Kang and others were terrified.

"Yes."

"General Fang and the others should all go over there. After all, this is an army of 100,000!"

"If something unexpected happens, wouldn't it be..."

No one can get out!

After all, it comes down to it.

The other side still has three generals in the Xuanxiang realm, among whom Fan Shuzhen is not inferior to Deng Feng. The only one left is Sha Wenlong. If something happens, it means that Hulao Pass will really be doomed!

Chen Sanshi looked down at the wasteland, silent and speechless, but his eyes were filled with a determination to win.

"Xia Cong, listen to my orders!"

"The whole army is ready to go!"

"Early tomorrow morning, we will leave the city for a decisive battle!"

"decisive battle?!"

Xia Cong almost thought he had misheard: "Sir, aren't we negotiating? Why are we suddenly going to fight again? General Fang and the others are still inside?"

Chen Sanshi's silence gave the answer.

Xia Cong and others dared not raise any objections and immediately took the order and left.

This arrangement.

It is a peace talk, but also a decisive battle!

This is the fourth move, and also the final move in the battle of Hulao Pass.

Three thousand, breaking one hundred thousand!
