From eunuch to emperor

Long Chen followed behind Wu Jian, wearing the armor of an ordinary sergeant, he looked like a bodyguard.

Long Chen intentionally took half a step slower than Han Ziping, and asked Han Ziping to move forward, so that he could walk in line with Long Chen's disguised identity.

Walking to the west of Jade Buddha Pass, Tang Heizi and Ye saw Wu Jian approaching, and immediately said: "General, we are blocked! There is a fierce fight in the small town!"

Wu Jian climbed up to his death, took out the binoculars in his hand, and looked at the small town in the distance.

The monks and soldiers of Zhenguo Temple are setting up a ladder to climb up, and the iron kite is guarding around, ready to fight with the Long family army who came out of the Jade Buddha.

Outside the pass, the soldiers and horses of Zhenguo Temple built an antler barrier, blocking the way out of the pass.

The garrison of the small town was fighting with the siege enemy, the sound was transmitted to Jade Buddha Pass, everyone's eyes were wide open, their teeth were clenching, and their weapons were tightly clenched, wishing to go out of the city to fight and rescue immediately.

"General, the last general requests to go to war!"

"The end will fight!"

"Kill these bald asses and sons of bitches!"

"General, give the order!"

All the soldiers looked at Wu Jian and asked to fight.

Wu Jian wanted to ask Long Chen what he meant, but it was hard to tell.

"Calm down! The three of you come in, let's discuss countermeasures!"

Wu Jian ordered Han Ziping, Ye Chang, and Tang Heizi.

Several people immediately entered the small room in the watchtower on the city, and Long Chen also entered.

After closing the door, Wu Jian asked, "My lord, are you going to fight?"

Long Chen said: "No battle!"

Han Ziping became anxious and said, "My lord, the crowd is so angry now, if you don't fight, I'm afraid the brothers will not agree."

Being besieged outside the city, everyone was furious and wished they could fight immediately.

If you choose not to fight at this time, the lieutenant will definitely be dissatisfied!

Some soldiers may even fight in violation of orders!

Long Chen said: "No! Don't fight, let everyone hold back!"

The three of Han Ziping wanted to argue, but Wu Jian said, "Listen to your lord!"

Ye Chang and Tang Heizi blushed from holding their breath, and held the waist knife tightly with their right hands.

Long Chen said: "Although the two small towns outside the pass are not big, they are very strong. They can't break through easily, brothers can hold them!"

The small city outside the pass was besieged once, and then Long Chen specially reinforced it. There is sufficient food, water and ordnance in the city.

The two small cities can be said to be small but strong, and it is not so easy for Deshan to break through the small cities.

"Ye Chang, immediately order a thousand elite infantry, all of them wearing fine armor, carrying wild goose feather knives and small crossbows, gather in the city, and come with me after dark!"

Ye Chang is a major general of the infantry, so Long Chen ordered him.

Hearing that elite troops were to be assembled, Ye Chang immediately understood that Long Chen was not not going to fight, but was going to launch a night attack.

"Old Wu, the three of you are preparing inside the pass. When you see the signal, you will go out and attack!"

Wu Jian bowed: "I know!"

Tang Heizi asked with some concern: "My lord, there are at least 20 soldiers and horses outside the pass. If you lead a night attack with 1 infantry, I'm afraid..."

Tang Heizi knew that Long Chen was brave, but 1 raided 20, the difference in strength was too great.

Ye Chang also calmed down, and looked at Long Chen hesitantly.

Long Chen chuckled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, this king has his own tricks."

Wu Jian also said: "Don't worry, my lord started preparing last year."

"Ye Chang, do it right away, you two follow me!"

The door of the room opened, Ye Chang immediately went to pick out the most elite infantry, Long Chen followed Ye Chang and left.

Wu Jian took Han Ziping and Tang Heizi back to the west city wall.

Seeing Wu Jian approaching, the soldiers surrounded him and shouted:

"General, give the order!"

"General, the brothers are fighting, give the order!"

"The last general is willing to be a pioneer!"

Wu Jian glanced outside the city, and said decisively: "You are not allowed to fight before the time comes!"

All the soldiers were stunned, and then said angrily: "General, brothers are fighting to the death, should we just watch!"

"If the small city is breached, Xixia will definitely attack Jade Buddha Pass!"

Facing the call for battle from all the soldiers, Wu Jian yelled loudly: "This general has said that you are not allowed to fight before the time comes!"

"Those who dare to speak again, beheaded!"

After leaving a word coldly, Wu Jian turned around and went back to the commander's mansion.

The city wall was suddenly silent, and the soldiers were silent, but they all held a breath in their hearts.

Han Ziping said: "The general said the time has not come yet, we will talk about it when the time comes."

A school lieutenant asked, "General Han, when will the time come?"

Another school lieutenant also asked: "Is it time to wait until the town is broken and the brothers are dead?"

Tang Heizi said: "Whether the time comes or not, General Wu has the final say, everyone is ready to fight!"

"Let's all prepare, when the time comes, let me rush!"

With Tang Heizi's words, everyone's anger calmed down a little, and everyone prepared to go out and fight!

...

Customs.

Deshan and Juekong were riding on horses, holding binoculars in their hands, looking at the Jade Buddha Pass from afar.

"Abbot, they dare not go out to rescue them!"

Juekong was overjoyed.

I thought there would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect Jade Buddha Pass to dare to send troops.

Deshan smiled proudly: "Sure enough, as the poor monk expected, although the Long family army is elite, the leader is Long Chengen."

"It is said that a snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head. Without Long Chengen's leadership, the Long family's army can only guard the Jade Buddha Pass. They dare not fight at all."

For this attack, Monk Deshan was sure that Long Chen was not there.

Deshan did not directly attack Jade Buddha Pass, he knew that it would be difficult to break through Jade Buddha Pass.

If the battle situation is stalemate, Long Chen rushes over from the capital, Deshan can only retreat.

Therefore, Deshan chose to besiege the small town and block the reinforcements from Jade Buddha Pass.

As long as the two small cities are taken down, the battle line can be pushed forward, and troops can be stationed close to the face of Jade Buddha Pass.

Juekong said happily: "The abbot has won the wonderful meaning of the art of war by using troops. We are determined in this battle!"

Deshan shook his head and said with a smile: "This battle must be resolved quickly, we must not wait for Long Chengen to arrive."

"Last time it was delayed for a long time. Long Chengen came from the capital, and finally failed."

Last time, Long Chen was seriously injured by Ji Ba, and Xixia attacked Jade Buddha Pass under the order of Tianxiahui.

Kongji and Deshan were besieged, and Di Lingyi struggled to hold on at Jade Buddha Pass.

Because of the delay in the war, Long Chen quietly arrived at Jade Buddha Pass, killed Shi Ming, and sneaked into the hinterland of Xixia, killing Xixia to death.

Thinking of this, Deshan suddenly felt alarmed, and his face changed suddenly.

Juekong noticed the change in Deshan's face, and asked, "What's wrong with the abbot?"

Deshan turned his head to look in the direction of Zhenguo Temple, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just... I was thinking too much."

Juekong didn't understand what it meant, and asked, "Why are you thinking too much?"

Deshan didn't speak, turned his head to look at the two small cities, and said, "Kill! At all costs, we must capture the two cities within two days!"

Deshan suddenly had a warning sign just now, worried that Long Chen would launch another sneak attack and burn down the Zhenguo Temple again?

But then he dismissed this idea, because the intelligence sent by the spies said that Long Chen was still playing with women in Prince Wu's Mansion, not at Jade Buddha Pass at all.

Wu Jian will definitely send a letter back to the capital. If the letter is sent by flying eagle, it will take a day for the battle report to be sent to the capital.

It will take at least two days for Long Chen to come here from the capital's Pegasus.

Therefore, Deshan had three days to attack the city.

Deshan decided that before Long Chen arrived, he had to take down two cities within two days, and then had one day to deploy their defenses.
