From eunuch to emperor

Xue Ze was discussing the defense of Linhu City with his generals in the council hall of the city.

The news that Long Chen and the Empress arrived in Xianhe City had spread to Linhu City, and the soldiers in the city were very worried.

Long Chen wiped out Xixia, personally destroyed the five tiger generals of Nanliang, and beat Li Chengdao half to death under Linjiang City.

It is said that the ghost fetus also had an arm removed by Long Chen.

Against such a terrifying man, they are all scared.

Deputy General Zhu Yan said: "I heard that Long Chen and the empress arrived at the same time yesterday, if they launch a surprise attack, we may not be able to resist."

Qiao Anguo, the general of the Bow and Crossbow Battalion, said: "General I wish you don't worry too much. I heard that the troops assembled in Xianhe City are only 40."

"We have 40 elite soldiers in our city. With the same strength, with our strong fortifications, it is definitely not a problem to defend Linhu City."

Qin Ao, the general of the infantry, also said: "Long Chen's military book says that ten will encircle him, and five will attack him. Now that the forces are evenly matched, what can he do to me?"

Most of the generals in the hall were very optimistic, thinking that Linhu City would definitely be safe to hold.

Of course, there are also sober people who feel that the current situation is very dangerous.

Deputy General Zhu Yan reminded: "If Long Chen and the Empress rush in at the same time, who among us can resist?"

"Back when Cheng Li was guarding the Monkey Mi Pass, Long Chen broke into the city alone and beheaded Cheng Li. The Monkey Mi Pass was easily breached."

"It was the same in Yunqi City a few days ago. Wang Quan had [-] elite soldiers, but Long Chen broke into the city and killed them."

"The lessons learned from the past, we must guard against it."

Hearing this, the generals stopped making noise and looked at the chief general Xue Ze.

The highest cultivation level in the city is Xue Ze. It is said that he has broken through the Martial Emperor and reached the level of Emperor Zun.

The others sounded like generals, but they were actually very poor in cultivation.

Lieutenant General Zhu Yanlian was only as good as a king, and the others were even worse.

Originally Xue Ze had warriors under his command, but they were all taken away and sent to Longxing Valley, and were finally taken over by Long Chen.

Xue Ze now has no generals available, and he is also very irritable.

"General Zhu's worries are not unreasonable. The defense of Linhu City should be fine. I'm afraid we won't be able to resist Long Chen breaking into the city."

Xue Ze knew very well that his own cultivation alone would definitely not be able to stop him, if Long Chen rushed in, he would be dead.

At this time, a messenger came in from outside the door and said happily: "General Xue, there is news from Jinling that the emperor and the holy son Yujia have personally conscripted, and there are [-] forbidden troops accompanying them."

Hearing this news, Xue Ze beamed with joy, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, with the Holy Son guarding, even if Long Chen comes, there is nothing to be afraid of."

The other generals were also very happy, they said they were not afraid of Long Chen, but they were actually very scared in their hearts.

Under Linjiang City, dozens of generals were killed, and so many powerful people in Longxing Valley were also killed.

These newly promoted generals are all thanks to Long Chen.

If Long Chen hadn't killed Long Xinggu's generals, these people would have no chance to rise to the top.

"Get ready to welcome the holy driver."

Xue Ze smiled happily.

All the soldiers immediately prepared to meet the ghost and Li Chengdao.

At this moment, a soldier hurried in and said, "General, there are enemy generals outside the city spying on our army!"

Xue Ze frowned and asked, "Have you seen who it is?"

The soldier shook his head and said, "It's a little far away, I can't see clearly."

Xue Ze immediately walked to the city, followed by all the generals.

When he arrived at the city, following the direction the soldiers pointed, Xue Ze picked up the binoculars and looked towards the hillside.

Just in time, Long Chen also used the binoculars to look towards the city.

"This is..."

Xue Ze was taken aback, he had never seen Long Chen, but he had seen the portrait.

The person on the hill outside the city is Long Chen!

Xue Ze was so frightened that his heart trembled and his hands shook.

The deputy general Zhu Yan next to him asked, "General, who is there?"

Cold sweat broke out on Xue Ze's forehead, but he said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that Dongzhou is waiting to come and spy on our army."

Qin Ao, the infantry general, immediately asked for orders: "The last general requests to send troops, and he must be captured alive!"

The other generals also wanted to make meritorious service, and they all shouted: "The last general requests to fight!"

Xue Ze cursed inwardly: A group of idiots who thought they could find a bargain if they went out of the city.

"Don't act rashly, if there is an ambush outside the city, wouldn't it be a trick!"

"Get ready to welcome the holy driver, no one is allowed to leave the city!"

Xue Ze glanced at Long Chen, and immediately led the generals down to the city, ready to meet the ghost fetus.

The infantry general Qin Ao glanced at the hillside, feeling a little unhappy.

There are only a few people on the hillside, and it is too arrogant to dare to go outside the city to spy on the city defense.

He didn't even dare to catch a few waiting cavalry, so he was still a general.

When Xue Ze went down to the city, Qin Ao quietly went to his army, ordered more than 100 elites, and quietly left the city by boat from the west gate.

On the hillside outside the city, Long Chen saw Xue Ze through the telescope.

This person is of medium build, with a handsome face, and has the temperament of a Confucian general.

"This Xue Ze was originally a scholar, but later he abandoned literature and went to martial arts. A few years ago, he was a martial emperor."

"He has a certain degree of advance and retreat in battle, and he can calculate the timing of the battle. He is a good wise general."

Wu Jian commented on Xue Ze in this way.

Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "That's right, he saw us, but he didn't go out of the city to chase after us, but went back, this person is very cautious."

Putting away the binoculars, Long Chen rode his horse to look around again.

Keeping the city defense in mind, Long Chen walked back with Wu Jian and five cavalrymen.

It was dusk now, the golden afterglow of the setting sun shone on the lake, and the evening wind was blowing, and the waterfowl flitted across the sparkling lake, which was really beautiful.

"When Linhu City is captured, you can indulge yourself and get drunk on this lake."

Long Chen looked at the lake and said.

Wu Jian laughed and said, "I'll have a good drink with the Major General at that time."

The seven of them had not gone far back when a wave of arrows suddenly shot out from the woods to the north. Wu Jian was startled and shouted: "There is an ambush!"

The cavalry behind him immediately stepped forward, trying to block the random arrows for Long Chen.

With a wave of Long Chen's hand, the two dragon shapes with condensed true energy scattered the random arrows and crashed straight into the forest.

boom!

The true energy exploded, and there was a howl in the woods.

Wu Jian was furious, and charged in with the Jiuhuan Broadsword, followed by five cavalrymen.

In the woods, the infantry general Qin Ao was lying on the ground with a broken arm. There were more than a dozen soldiers lying still beside him. The other soldiers were holding waist knives and looking at Wu Jian in horror.

"Just this person?"

Wu Jian was a little surprised, he thought that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were ambushed in the forest, but he didn't expect that there were only about 100 of them.

With so few people, how dare they engage in an ambush and sneak attack?

Long Chen rode in, Qin Ao shouted: "Do it! Kill!"

Qin Ao gave an order, and the soldiers moved forward one after another with their knives, besieging the seven Long Chen.

Wu Jian immediately got off his horse and fought.

It is not easy to ride a horse in the woods, and it is more convenient to fight on foot.

The five cavalry also dismounted to fight together.

Long Chen only brought a long sword. He got off his horse, walked up to Qin Ao, looked it over carefully, and asked curiously: "What is your job? Who told you to ambush?"

Long Chen felt a little strange, why would Qin Ao lie in ambush here?

And only bring so few people?

Originally, Qin Ao thought that Long Chen was just waiting to ride, and there were only 7 people, so it was absolutely safe to bring 100 elite soldiers by himself.

Unexpectedly, under the circumstance of ambush, he was caught off guard by Long Chen.

As soon as Long Chen made a move, he killed more than a dozen people and seriously injured more than 20 people. The remaining people fought with Wu Jian and the six people, but they couldn't kill them?

Qin Ao is very confused now, he doesn't know why this team of waiting cavalry is so good?

"Who are you!"

Qin Ao didn't answer Long Chen's question, but asked who Long Chen was?

Long Chen thought it was a bit funny, and asked: "You don't know who I am, and you dare to lead soldiers in ambush?"
