Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Lu Xunhuan returned to the tent and changed his clothes, becoming a captain from a soldier.

Then he left the central army and circled around Luocheng.

Now the defenders of Luocheng were completely frightened and closed the city gates, not daring to show their heads again.

After looking around, he went to the mountain on the left.

Standing on a high place, he looked towards Kyoto City for a while and saw a large number of flying birds in the distant sky.

He said to a general behind him, "Enemy reinforcements will be arriving soon. Wave the flags and tell everyone on the left and right sides of the mountain to be silent. When the reinforcements arrive, we will kill them immediately and not let any of them escape."

After giving orders to the general, he retreated from the high ground, went to the forest behind, and found Elder Liu.

He asked Elder Liu in a low voice, "If you are allowed to take her out of the palace, will you take her with you?"

Elder Liu's expression was still somewhat awkward: "You didn't see me at the time, did you?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled: "How can I know it's you if I don't see you? I'm asking you seriously."

Elder Liu said, "That's impossible. If His Majesty knew, he would definitely chop off her head. How could he let her go so graciously?"

Lu Xun Huan sat down against the tree trunk and said, "Don't worry about His Majesty. I only ask if you are willing to take her away."

Elder Liu sat down next to him, picked up a fallen leaf and looked at it.

"If I were no longer guarding the palace, I would naturally want to take her back to the mountains with me. But as I said, if His Majesty knew, he would kill her immediately."

Lu Xun Huan said, "That's good as long as you're willing. After the battle, I'll go ask her if she's willing to go with you. If you two are willing, I'll help you find a solution."

Elder Liu turned around and said, "Whatever you're thinking of, don't do anything rash, or you'll kill her."

Lu Xun Huan closed his eyes: "Let's take a break. The siege and reinforcements are about to begin."

The mountain was so quiet that if no one went up to check, one would think it was deserted.

Who knew that there were 120,000 troops ambushed on the two mountains on the left and right?

Two hours later, Zhou Guo’s soldiers appeared on the road leading to Luo City.

On both sides of the mountain, everyone held their breath and let Zhou Guo’s troops gallop past on the road below.

When the Zhou soldiers were only about five miles away from Luo City, after a gentle uphill road, they saw a row of barricades that stretched for several miles.

Behind the chevaux de frise, the Eastern Yan army was on full alert.

General Zhou Guo hurriedly ordered everyone to slow down and shouted to the back.

"Tell the rear to hurry up and fight a decisive battle with the Dongyan people."

"As soon as we start fighting, the brothers in the city will rush out and attack from the front and back. Let those behind catch up quickly. Quickly."

Behind the chevaux de frise, the soldiers of Eastern Yan drew their bows and arrows, watching the enemy slowly approach.

One thousand steps... eight hundred steps... five hundred steps... three hundred steps...

Everyone saw with their own eyes that the enemy soldiers were increasing in number and gradually formed a huge formation in the wide area between the two mountains.

But no one moved, allowing the other side to grow in number and form a formation.

About another hour later, all the troops of Zhou Kingdom arrived and assembled.

Then, a deafening war cry was heard.

Lu Xunhuan was hiding in the bushes on the mountain. He heard the war roar and sighed inwardly.

He shook his head and whispered to the generals around him: "Qi, send 30,000 troops to each side to cut off the retreat."

After the Zhou Kingdom soldiers below shouted in battle, the commander brandished his sword and said, "Charge!"

In an instant, the sounds of shouting and killing reached the sky.

The soldiers rushed forward like a tide.

Behind the chevaux de frise, tens of thousands of archers were lined up in nine rows.

When the Zhou soldiers rushed to 20 steps in front of the chevaux de frise, a drum sounded, and a torrential downpour of arrows came like a violent storm.

Lu Xunhuan specially arranged nine rows of archers, with every three rows firing at the same time, then retreating, and the second three rows firing at the same time, and then the third three rows firing at the same time.

The arrows were so powerful that they were like a huge dark cloud flying from the sky, blocking out the sun and even making the ground darker.

In front, Zhou Guo’s soldiers were charging forward at full speed.

In the rear, a total of 60,000 soldiers came down from the mountains on both sides, set up barricades, and cut off the road in the middle.

Behind the chevaux de frise, soldiers quickly arrived at their positions, still with a large number of archers.

In front, Zhou Guo’s soldiers charged forward, suffered countless casualties, and could not even get close to the enemy’s chevaux de frise.

The general leading the army was frightened by the overwhelming attack of arrows.

He didn't expect his brothers in the city to rush out and attack from both sides. If he didn't retreat, the 100,000 soldiers he led would probably die here.

These 100,000 soldiers were recruited with great difficulty. If they were all lost, where would they find more soldiers in such a short time?

He hurriedly ordered a retreat and stopped fighting.

If we can't save Luocheng, then we won't save it. We will take everyone back to Kyoto and wait for a decisive battle with the enemy in Kyoto.

But when they looked back, they found that their retreat had been cut off and countless chevaux-de-frise blocked their way back.

The general hurriedly ordered: "Archers, move forward and shoot."

But when he ordered the archers to move forward and shoot at the rear of the barricades in an attempt to break out of the encirclement, the sound of drums came from the mountains on both sides.

Suddenly, arrows poured out from both sides, forming a dense rain of arrows.

The general was caught off guard and was hit by dozens of arrows. He was shot like a hedgehog and died on the battlefield.

As for Zhou Guo's new recruits, they were already stunned by the shooting and could only shoot a few arrows randomly, which posed no threat to the enemy at all.

The strong wind swept the fallen leaves away.

One hundred thousand soldiers, even if many of them hold up shields, it is useless. Arrows are pouring down from all directions. How many directions can a shield block?

In less than an hour, 100,000 troops were wiped out.

Lu Xunhuan brought a large number of archers with him on this expedition, and the reserve supplies required more arrows than food.

Being able to shoot from a distance and minimize casualties on your side, why not do it?

In the distance, on a high mountain, the leader of Feixian Sect, Fairy Feiyu, and seven elders witnessed this bloody battle with their own eyes and remained silent for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally sighed, "Is that great general of the enemy's expeditionary force really Lu Xunhuan?"

Elder He nodded and said, "Now that I think about it, it should be him."

Fairy Feiyu asked again, "Didn't he say he was sent to Nanliang as an undercover agent? Why is he going to Dongyan again?"

Elder He said, "His Majesty the King once sent experts to wipe out the Dengtian Sect, but by the time the experts arrived, there was no one left at the Dengtian Sect."

"Perhaps Lu Xunhuan later found out that His Majesty the King wanted to kill him, so he definitely stopped being an undercover agent."

Fairy Feiyu frowned slightly: "Why would you destroy someone else's sect for no reason?"

Elder He replied, "It is said that when the Southern Liang army attacked Zhongzhou City, it was Lu Xunhuan who led the counterattack and annihilated the enemy."

"But then the Eighteenth Prince Xia Yu took all the credit for himself. Not only did he want to destroy Lu Xunhuan, he also killed General Wei Ying, who knew about it."

Fairy Feiyu shook her head: "You will suffer the consequences if you bring trouble upon yourself."

Elder He said, "Perhaps Lu Xunhuan was left with nowhere else to go and fled to Dongyan with the disciples of Dengtian Sect."

Fairy Feiyu looked up at the sky and said, "Forget it. We can't save Zhou Guo. Let him go. Go tell Lu Xunhuan that we are leaving."

On the wide road between the two mountains, there was another scene of corpses piled up layer by layer.

Lu Xunhuan stood on the hill to the left, looked around for a while, and said to the general beside him, "Let's bury them together."

Then, he took Elder Liu back to the central army.

He returned to the big tent and sat for a while, while the soldiers outside started arguing.

When Lu Xunhuan came out of the tent, he saw the soldiers bringing Elder He with them.

He said to Elder He, "Old He, I told you to return to the mountain, but why are you still harboring evil intentions?"

Elder He chuckled and said, "Do you think they can tie me up? I came here specifically to see you."

Beside Lu Xunhuan, Elder Liu and Elder Long stood on the left and right, unsheathing their swords and lighting up the eighth-rank immortal swords red.

Lu Xun Huan quickly stopped the two of them and said, "Don't be nervous. I met this friend by chance before. He's a nice person and nothing will happen to him."

After speaking to the two elders, he turned to Elder He and said, "What did Fairy Feiyu say?"

Elder He said, "She said that my Feixian Sect cannot save the Zhou Kingdom, so let him go."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "He who knows the current situation is a hero."

He said to his soldiers, "Let him go."

The soldiers loosened their grip and let Elder He go.

Elder He struggled, broke the rope, and bowed.

"We are going back to the mountains. I wish you all the best. When you take charge of this land in the future, I hope you will be better to the people and not be like that tyrant anymore."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Of course. I will find time to go to Feixianmen and apologize in person."

He cupped his hands and said, "See you later."

Elder He bowed again and said, "See you later."

Then, he summoned his magic weapon, controlled it, and left quickly.
