"Boom-" There was a bang, just like Chen Shijin's--just as Tong Chen dodged the "Divine Palm", Tang Zhan's "Splitting Empty Palm" directly cut off a giant tree, and together with the big tree that Xiao Tian shattered, it crossed and smashed at the crossing, and suddenly dust flew in all directions, and it was hazy. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info However, the two seemingly majestic "palm attacks" did not hit the target in one move......

"Damn, what the hell do these two guys want to do......" Tong Chen woke up from the "dust mist" and said angrily.

Chen Shijin didn't respond, and looked at the "flying dust" in front of him with a serious expression - he had already suffered a loss in the duel with Xiao Tian, and he didn't know where to go, so Chen Shijin was naturally very cautious this time......

The "Canglong Palm" and the "Sky Splitting Palm" were broken, but there was no movement after the target was missed, and when all the dust dispersed in front of him, the vision gradually became clear, but Xiao Tian and Tang Zhan were no longer visible.

"What about people?" Tong Chen looked at the two of them just now, but in the blink of an eye, they were gone, and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't be careless!" Chen Shijin raised his sword and reminded him, "The two of them are extremely martial arts, and just now they came together as if they were saying yes, maybe there is another trick—"

There is no need for Chen Shijin to remind him, Tong Chen is also very clear, his whole body is vigilant and looks around, afraid that Xiao Tian or Tang Zhan will suddenly attack from the flank, and the cold gun is in hand to prevent accidents, and he does not dare to slack off.

But in the end, there was still no trace of Xiao Tian and Tang Zhan, there were only two big trees in front of them that were chopped down by the "Crazy Palm", and after waiting for so long, the two did not attack again, and they didn't even show their shadows, obviously the situation was not normal......

Chen Shijin stood up slightly, looked at the fallen tree in front of him, and stared at it, as if he had a bad premonition.

"Could it be that you are hiding behind a tree and sneaking up when you see an opportunity?" Tong Chen muttered as Chen Shijin's eyes followed, "One is the 'Canglong Hero', and the other is a descendant of the Tang family, it shouldn't be the means of such an insidious villain......"

Chen Shijin didn't say a word, he raised his sword and the blade suddenly rose up-"Oooo

However, seeing the scene in front of them, Chen Shijin and Tong Chen were dumbfounded......

It was empty, not to mention Xiao Tian and Tang Zhan, and even Lu Jing and the soldiers of the Ming Army, who had just seen the opportunity to wait here, were all gone......

"Ran away...... Chen Shijin's face darkened, and he said coldly, "I see, just now I sent a palm to attack the surprise attack, just to interfere with our line of sight, the real purpose is to cover the withdrawal of the large army from our army's encirclement ......"

After Tong Chen knew the truth, he was reluctant to rush and said: "Damn, dare to play us, I will lead the troops to chase them back!" Saying that, Tong Chen was ready to order his subordinates to follow him to pursue the vanguard troops who had not retreated far away.

"There's no need to work blindly-" Chen Shijin replied, "The enemy's sneak attack on the soldiers this time, they are vigorous and good at long-distance migration, and at first glance they are born as cavalry...... Descending from the valley hills, the enemy's horses must have been placed long ago, and retreated in case of this 'unforeseen situation'. Now that they have withdrawn their troops and descended the mountain, I am afraid that they would have fled on horseback, and if you chase them now, it will be in vain......"

"Cut ......" Tong Chen let out his anger and said decisively, "It's really boring, I thought I could fight with the descendants of the Tang family, but it turned out to be ...... for him to run."

"The preparation is not sufficient, after all, we didn't expect that the troops who attacked sneak up would have reinforcements to support them. If it was just the army of the descendants of the Tang family, this ambush would have won a miraculous victory......" Chen Shijin replied lightly.

"Don't worry about the affairs of the troops...... However, Tong Chen seemed to have an "opinion" on Chen Shijin, so he asked in a backing voice, "You fought against the 'Canglong Hero' just now, why didn't you use ......all your strength?"

"You say I didn't use all my strength?" Chen Shijin asked in a condensed voice.

"Isn't it?" Tong Chen continued to question, "You are a genius disciple of the former Wind Chasing Sect, practicing the 'Heavenly God Sword Technique' divine martial arts...... Last night, Old Man Sima spent all his blood to fight against the 'Canglong Hero' and fought it out, and today his skill will recover by a maximum of seventy or eighty percent; if he had used the 'Heavenly Dragon Sword Technique' just now, let alone defeat the 'Canglong Hero,' it would have been impossible to kill him......

Chen Shijin smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "What are the plans of this general, and I still need you to give me instructions? If you don't understand anything, don't talk around beside you......"

"What are you talking about?" was "despised" by Chen Shijin, Tong Chen's face was unhappy - after all, watching Xiao Tian, Tang Zhan and their enemy soldiers flee, everyone was not happy for a while after the war.

"Don't talk about me yet, what about yourself?" This time, Chen Shijin asked in a condensed voice, "I fought with the descendants of the Tang family a few times just now, didn't you also use your true skills?"

"Forehead ......" What Chen Shijin said was true, and Tong Chen was unspeakable for a while.

"Originally, the deployment plan didn't let you come here, and I didn't hold you accountable for your unauthorized actions...... Chen Shijin's face was cold, and he "reminded" Tong Chen sharply, "This is a war!" I am the commander of the army, and I have to obey all orders, and you can't act on your own...... This time is an exception, I won't pursue you, if you dare to act arbitrarily next time, I won't let you go......"

"Hmph......" military affairs are in his body, and he "violated the order" first, and Tong Chen no longer talks back. But from the bottom of his heart, Tong Chen, like Sima Hanyi, was full of disdain for Chen Shijin......

"Report-" However, at this moment, on the other side of the mountain road, the Mengyuan soldiers suddenly had an urgent report, looking panicked, and it seemed that there was a big situation.

"What's wrong?" Chen Shijin withdrew his long sword and asked coldly.

"Report to the general, something is wrong!" Sure enough, the soldier came up and said with a nervous face, "In the direction of 'Amber Hill', our army's garrison was attacked by the enemy, suffering heavy casualties, and more than half of the gunpowder armament was destroyed—"

"What, Amber Hill was sneak attacked?" Tong Chen was taken aback when he heard this, "Hey, what the hell is going on, which army attacked it?"

"No...... I don't know ......," the soldier cowered, "I only know that the enemy's flag is hung with the characters 'Qin' and 'Lu'......"

"Qin Yu, Lu Ling......" Chen Shijin muttered, "It is the vanguard general of the Ming army, who took advantage of the unpreparedness of our army to sneak attack our army's military garrison...... Got hit—"

"Hey, what the hell is going on, didn't you say before that the enemy's target is here in the grain trough?" Tong Chen realized that the situation was not right, and asked Chen Shijin in a back.

"On the surface, he pretended to attack head-on, but he sent light cavalry troops to attack our army's grain trough...... I thought I had seen through their tricks and focused the ambush on a place in the northern province, but I didn't expect that the 'sneak attack on the grain trough' was also a cover to deceive us......" Chen Shijin seemed to have figured out the key and suddenly realized, "Put the main force and even the main generals in front of the pass and the northern road, but their real goal in this battle is actually 'Amber Hill'...... With the most inconspicuous troops, we have been ......calculated by attacking the most negligent key points of our army, and directly stabbing at the 'key points' of the army."

After hearing this, Tong Chen was afraid, and couldn't help but sigh faintly: "Who is it...... Who has the ability to hide from everyone's eyes and deceive our army into turning ...... round"

"I've heard of it, ...... from Master Timur of Kuangko," Chen Shijin recalled during the conversation, "Under the vanguard army, there is a woman of the Lu clan, who is a genius in the art of war and a wizard in ghost planning. From Shandong to Luoyang several battles, he defeated famous generals such as Yanzhi Jitai Bazaduo and Wuliang Tuoduo with military calculations...... The person who used the plan was that she would not be wrong, and the woman who came to support just now should be ......" Chen Shijin remembered the scene of Lu Jing's rescue just now and identified his identity.

"Is that woman ......" Tong Chen remembered the woman he had been caring about just now - she was Lu Jing, the woman who had been following Tang Zhan......

The first battle of Tongguan ended hastily, whether it was Su Jia's troops, the main force of Qianguan, or Tang Zhan and others who "escaped by strange schemes" from the northern province, they all Mingjin collected their troops and returned to the army station......

"At the last critical moment, it's still Jing'er, you calm down, and find a way to let the troops escape......" Returning to the station, Tang Zhan and the others walked in the direction of the gate of the camp, thinking of the Mi battle on the North Road just now, Tang Zhan said with palpitations, "If it weren't for Jing'er here, I'm afraid that Brother Xiao and I would have been dizzy, and the enemy general would be exhausted and wouldn't know how to ......retreat."

"Blame me for not thinking ......about the plan well this time," Lu Jing reflected on herself, and then said, "But stupid, the next time you 'ask for help' in front of General Chang, let me know, so that I can make corresponding adequate preparations-"

"Okay, yes, but I'm afraid there won't be a next time......" Tang Zhan responded, slightly disappointed, "I gave a military order before I set out, and this flank attack on the grain trough was unsuccessful, so I had to remove the military post of the chief general, just like Brother Xiao...... I heard that Miss Su's main force in Qianguan was also damaged, and she still escaped from the encirclement of the enemy...... Miss Su is even worse than me, she failed this mission, but she has to be removed from all positions in the army......"

Lu Jing shook her head, turned her face and said, "No, this mission did not fail, but succeeded!"

"What did you say?" Hearing Lu Jing's words, Tang Zhan asked in surprise.

"Because the main force of Qianguan, and the stupid flanking troops, are all bait made for the army's real target action, used to contain the enemy army!" Lu Jing said with a calm smile.

"You say...... Me?" Tang Zhan was still in the dark, and couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on?" doesn't it mean...... Is the light cavalry unit I led the key to the operation? The main force of Miss Su was pinned down at the front pass of the righteous road, and I led the cavalry army to attack the enemy's grain trough...... Jing'er, you said that I also contain the enemy, so what is the real purpose of our battle this time......

"No-" Lu Jing smiled slightly, and shook her head at a cavalry unit outside the camp that had just returned to the camp......

"Brother Tang, Miss Lu, we're back!" As he was looking, Qin Yu and Lu Ling, together with thousands of vanguard cavalry generals, galloped back to the camp from the west side of the road - the officers and men of the whole army were excited, obviously returning from a beautiful victory.

"What the hell is this...... What's going on?" Tang Zhan, as the leader of the army, was a little stunned, and asked with a helpless expression.

"General Lu Ling and I, taking advantage of the time when Brother Tang and Miss Su's troops were pinning down the enemy army, we sneaked up on the enemy's armament garrison Huqiu!" Qin Yu jumped off his horse and said excitedly.

"Amber Hill?" Tang Zhan was still puzzled.

"Wu Xiao, how is the plan being executed?" Lu Jing, on her side, asked Lu Ling about the battle situation on the Amber Hill side.

"Everything is going well-" Lu Ling also reported excitedly, "According to the teacher's plan, the enemy defense in the area of Amber Hill is really loose...... General Qin and I divided our troops into two routes, made a surprise attack on the Huqiu camp, burned the enemy's important armaments, and won a complete victory -- the teacher really had a clever plan, the enemy did not expect that our army would put the key to the battle situation in Huqiu, and made a surprise attack on the armament camp around the farthest road, and this battle was fought too happily!"

"It's good to win!" Lu Jing smiled excitedly, "Although the main force of Qianguan and the attack on the grain trough of the North Province were blocked this time, the casualties were not large, and the Amber Hill side won a complete victory, burning most of the enemy's armament - in this way, this should be a very cost-effective victory, and there are no regrets!"

Knowing the situation, Tang Zhan couldn't help asking, "The strategy is indeed wonderful, but ...... Jing'er, how do you know that the enemy's armament is stationed in Amber Hill?"

"Oh, you said this...... Lu Jing took out a letter from his waist -- the internal information he had received before, Lu Jing continued, "Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang tell us before the battle that in this battle, there was an internal response of our army lurking in Tongguan? Just before the beginning of this battle, our army should send key information to inform the enemy's military garrison 'Amber Hill' and the situation of military defense...... I expected that Chen Shijin would be cautious in using his troops, and he was afraid that he would detect the plan of sneaking up on the grain trough, so he simply added another plan to the change, and ordered the Qin brothers and Wu Xiao to lead the cavalry to make a detour to attack Amber Hill...... Facts have proved that this plan is correct, not only deceived Chen Shijin, but also achieved a key victory!"

"The internal response of Tongguan is so timely......" Tang Zhan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "It seems that our army's latent internal response ability is not small, and it actually found out the enemy's weakness so quickly and transmitted the information to us in time...... Jing'er, do you know who this internal should be, a person or an organization?"

"I don't know about this......" Lu Jing shook her head slightly, and her expression gradually converged, "But since it was personally dispatched by Zhu Yuanzhang, it must be very trusting, and the ability is naturally not a problem......

"That's ......" Tang Zhan sighed, didn't talk about it again, and continued to ask Qin Yu and Lu Ling in detail about the details of the 'Battle of Amber Hill'......

"That's right, this Neiying is so powerful, he can hide from Chen Shijin and the eyes of Timur, who is he......" Thinking about it carefully, Lu Jing seemed to have a dark heart, remembering that Zhu Yuanzhang had "expressed his heart" in front of him, obviously wary of himself, presumably this Neiying identity is not simple for himself and the entire vanguard army, Lu Jing couldn't help but secretly worry, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this...... I suddenly felt so restless, could it be that I was thinking too much......"

In a trance, Lu Jing had an inexplicable premonition of worry in her heart......
