Chapter 70 - Phantom Lurking

After all, Kong Hong is a young and promising, bold and skillful general, now in the face of a strong enemy and possible infighting, she did not choose to directly break the situation with the strength of the country, but chose to dispatch the army to secretly monitor and follow Gongsun Yu's train of thought, since Gongsun Yu has set up the first half of the game, she naturally chooses to take over the development of the second half of the game, and must not let this game of chess become a one-man show of Gongsun Yu.

Kong Hong doesn't know much about Gongsun Yu, after all, the contact time is not very long, and they usually have very little time to meet, even if they meet, they won't say a word. Because of this situation, Kong Hong did not choose to take risks, but deployed everything step by step, she had already sent her henchmen to infiltrate the Shengcheng to wait for the opportunity, these henchmen did not live up to Kong Hong's expectations for them, successfully figured out all the military deployments and arrangements in Shengcheng, and took advantage of the opportunity of the soldiers to patrol the sentry to pass this secret letter to Kong Hong. In this way, Kong Hong grasped the internal situation of Sheng Cheng without moving, and she didn't tell anyone the news, whether it was Bu Luan or Bu Yuehan, she chose to keep silent. And her main purpose in doing this is to guard against Gongsun Yu.

Facts have proved that Kong Hong's worries at that time were not superfluous, and she really did not misunderstand Gongsun Yu, this person who is actually the first rat at both ends did not disappoint her, but even if she recognized Gongsun Yu's ambitions, Kong Hong actually did not dare to underestimate Gongsun Yu easily. After all, Gongsun Yu has always been the leader of the Fengzhan Society before, and now the confidant and favorite general of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao has later become the general next to the two women, Bu Luan and Bu Yuehan, Bu Luan and Bu Yuehan are not idle, this Gongsun Yu can get their reuse, which also shows that Gongsun Yu's ability is not idle. Kong Hong naturally didn't dare to underestimate him easily, and now a series of troop deployments are being carried out in secret, just for fear that Gongsun Yu will see some flaws.

The two armies began to operate step by step, and at this time, in the Chinese army camp of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden's forces, Bu Yuehan stared at Kong Hong in the distance and the 10,000 troops who followed behind her, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but tighten, although Gongsun Yu may really have a heart of disobedience. But the army he is now commanding is still the descendant army of their white-clothed celestial girl forces after all, and it is the last soldier who has survived several major battles now, if it really follows the plan that Kong Hong said, I am afraid that their last belongings will also be destroyed. At that time, even if they defeated the Dark Legion and the Sealed War Society, and drove them all back to the Sinking Leaf Demon Spirit Continent, without an army in their hands, it would be equivalent to saying that they had lost the opportunity to fight for the world. At that time, the situation that they have worked so hard to manage in white will all be buried in the hands of Qi and the country away, and they will become fish and meat on their boards, to be slaughtered.

Behind her, staring at her sister Bu Yuehan's melancholy gaze, Bu Luan naturally understood her worries, which was also what she was most worried about. But after all, as the leader of the forces of the Celestial Maiden in White, no matter what heavy responsibility she has to bear, she has to bear it all. She was now practicing the secret art of the Wu Clan, and it was the most critical time for the fire system, and she couldn't pay attention to these things anymore. At this time, she can only hand over this important task to Bu Yuehan and Kong Hong to deal with. If Gongsun Yu really did something that was unacceptable to them, then the net would be broken, and with the elite army of Kong Hong who left the country, it would be easier and simpler to deal with the army of white-clothed celestial girls who were already loyal to Gongsun Yu.

The iron cavalry has come out, and there are 3,000 elite iron cavalry in the 10,000 army led by Kong Hong, and the heavily armed iron cavalry is guarding Kong Hong's safety on both sides. The sword and shield army and the fortification soldiers not far behind him began to advance in order, feigning an attack on the city. Of course, this 10,000 army was just a suspicious army led by Kong Hong, and she deliberately released the pressure and put it on Gongsun Yu. Once she led her army to the outside of Shengcheng, Gongsun Yu had only two ways to go, one was to tear her face in public and attack her army, and the second was to pretend to join forces to attack Shengcheng. But no matter which path Gongsun Yu chooses, Kong Hong has already arranged all the countermeasures.

The combat strength of the 10,000 troops under her command is quite strong, and just the combat power of the 3,000 ironclad cavalry can easily defeat the white-clothed celestial girl's forces, which is not a strong army, and if Gongsun Yu chooses the second way, trying to cover up her movements and launch a campaign to attack Shengcheng, this will just fall into Kong Hong's trap, and she will take this opportunity to attack Shengcheng in one fell swoop, destroying Gongsun Yu's army and Xin Pei's army in Shengcheng. This is also why Kong Hong led the iron cavalry and brought fortification soldiers at the same time, which was prepared for the attack on Shengcheng.

But as a last resort, Kong Hong didn't really want to take measures to force force to suppress it, because the forces of the white-clothed celestial girl were now their key allies, and she was reluctant to use swords until the last moment.

When Kong Hong led 10,000 troops to the outside of Shengcheng with great fanfare, Gongsun Yu, who was commanding 5,000 troops to feign an attack on Shengcheng, had already received the news, and he did not realize the purpose of Kong Hong's arrival like this for a while. He has won many victories now, and everything seems to be in his own hands, which makes Gongsun Yu himself a little flustered, and he doesn't know that what he is planning has been seen through. So when he got the news, he hurriedly pretended to be surprised, and rushed to Kong Hong, who led the three thousand iron horsemen who came first, and bowed his hand, "Why did the Spirit Lord come in person?"

According to the official rank, Kong Hong's special position, the "Yinan Spirit Lord", is actually higher than the governor of Gongsun Yu in terms of status and rights, and this spirit lord can basically be regarded as an important minister who splits the soil with the king. In addition, Kong Hong has 30,000 elite troops leaving the country, and he is the confidant of Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde, Gongsun Yu is inferior to her in terms of strength and status, and he naturally has to be polite on the surface now.

Kong Hong rode on her white pigeon steed, wearing a red cherry helmet, a dazzling gold armor all over her body, draped from the upper neck to the calf, and a pair of special riding boots with a soft-soled cowhide jacket and cold iron, made of high-quality cowhide, strong and durable. The toe is pointed, and the heel is square, which is not a special existence. On the contrary, the dazzling gold armor she wore was one of the treasures of the Kong family, and Kong Hong's father was worried that Kong Hong would lose his expedition, so he gave it to his daughter.

Outsiders may not know the legend of the Dazzling Golden Armor, but there is no one on the Xuanling Continent who does not know the status and function of this set of armor. Legend has it that this set of Radiant Gold Armor was based on Arctic cold iron, based on the essential oil of the East China Sea, supplemented by quenched cornerstones, and was a masterpiece made by all the best craftsmen of the Confucian family at that time. The status of this set of dazzling gold armor in leaving the country can even be compared with the Qingming umbrella in the hands of Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde. At the beginning, the imperial Chen family opposed the throne of Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde, and Chen Xuan wanted to borrow this set of dazzling gold armor, but at that time, the imperial throne of the Confucian family was very important in the imperial Chen family, and he did not dare to speak rashly. Although the royal Chen family has become a thing of the past, it is enough to explain the legend of this set of dazzling gold armor.

Although Kong Hong is not very old, this golden armor is added, and her heroic posture is naturally self-evident, and she has a frost sword personally given by Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde on her waist, which can not only sharpen iron like mud to fight, but also behead ministers. On Kong Hong's saddle, according to her main weapon, an iron halberd as tall as a person, with a metal spear tip at one end of the halberd, and a crescent-shaped timbre blade on one side connected to the tip of the spear through two small branches, which can be pierced and chopped, and the full name is Fang Tian Halberd. However, Fang Tianhalberd was extremely difficult to use, and Kong Hong's main purpose now was to deter, not to use it to fight. This is also related to Kong Hong herself, she is a woman after all, although she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, after all, there are insurmountable obstacles for women, although her martial arts are exquisite, but after all, she can't compete with men.

Surrounded by three thousand iron horsemen, Kong Hong let go of the horse, she smiled and said to Gongsun Yu: "The general is strategizing, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, I didn't really believe that the general's plan can be achieved before, but now it seems that my worries are a little redundant, seeing the general's exquisite and orderly deployment, I have to compensate the general here." ”

Kong Hong's words were quite relaxed, and at this time, Gongsun Yuyuan's own vigilant attitude was temporarily relaxed, and he responded with a smile: "The spirit lord is too humble in his words, the humble position is only acting on orders, if it is not for the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the humble position will not be able to implement this strategic plan." It's just that I don't know what the plan is for the spirit master to lead the troops here?

Kong Hong secretly sneered disdainfully in her heart, but the expression on her face did not change, she still spoke to Gongsun Yu with a slightly shallow smile, "General Gongsun, since our two countries have reached an alliance, you are now sending troops to attack Shengcheng, I naturally have no reason not to send troops to help you, General Gongsun, it is better to hand over the task of feint Shengcheng to us to leave the country to complete, we also happen to carry siege ladders and nest cars, so that the feint should be more effective in theory, I don't know what the general wants?" ”

Gongsun Yu secretly screamed badly, he had calculated everything, he might have calculated all the other possibilities, but he didn't expect that Kong Hong, the actual leader of the army, would actually appear here and plan to help him attack Shengcheng. But the arrival of Kong Hong's 10,000 troops will inevitably break the strategic plan that he and Xin Pei have already planned, and the army under Kong Hong's command is obviously stronger than the army of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden under his command. How is this to be called him?
