Chen An was eager for someone to take on this difficult task. He didn't know how to fight, so he didn't want to be the kind of boss who pretended to know everything and still insisted on giving orders and controlling everything.
"Okay, Shang Diyi, you will be fully responsible for the defense of Long'an Town. Please discuss any necessary preparations with Duan Chi!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry!" Emperor Yi of Shang's eyes were bright and eager, as if a talented and frustrated person was suddenly given an important position.
Every move of Chen An was under Lu Hongyi's watch.
It’s just that Lu Hongyi doesn’t want anyone to discover her existence, so no one can discover her.
At this moment, on a mountain road on the side of Long'an Town, Cheng Wei, who was originally ordered to capture Chen An and bring him back, had just arrived near Long'an Town with hundreds of imperial guards.
He was intercepted by Shenyin.
Cheng Wei saw Shen Yin and his face turned serious: "Elder Shen Yin, what are you doing?"
"According to the order of the Sect Leader, let the people led by Commander Cheng wait on the spot for the Sect Leader's new order." Shenyin looked stern.
Cheng Wei clasped his fists and said, "I will follow the Sect Master's orders."
But then, Cheng Wei asked curiously, "Elder Shenyin, I see a murderous aura filling the sky above Long'an Town. Why is that?"
"A war is about to start." Shenyin turned around and looked towards Long'an Town.
"War? This is not the border of the Tianyue Dynasty, how can we fight here?" Cheng Wei was puzzled.
"Haha, Commander Cheng, the monarch is leading his men to fight against the people of the Tianyue Dynasty."
"What?"
Cheng Wei opened his mouth in surprise, unable to calm down the shock in his heart for a long time.
After a long while, his eyes sparkled as he asked, "Could it be the Sect Master's intention?"
Shenyin looked at Cheng Wei and said, "Don't you understand? The Sect Master wants to reason with the people who harmed our Fengshen Sect back then!"
Cheng Wei's eyes instantly brightened and heated up, his face filled with excitement: "After ten years, it's finally begun!"
Shenyin looked towards the front of Long'an Town. On the flat plain, dust was flying, war horses were neighing, and the scene was fierce and imposing. He smiled a little: "The leader has actually been preparing for this for a long time. I just didn't expect that after the rebellion was eliminated, you would go down the mountain. This has actually brought forward the plan!"
Cheng Wei smiled broadly, "No wonder the Sect Leader returned a long time ago but didn't stop Cheng Jianghe from leading his men in rebellion. It turns out he was just preparing for it."
Shenyin suddenly said, "This general of the Feng Camp might be at the Tongtian realm. I'll go and take a look!"
"Elder Shenyin, why don't you let me take some people to help Jun Shang?"
"If the leader doesn't allow it, let the Lord do it himself." Shenyin shook his head.
"Why?" Cheng Wei was puzzled.
Shenyin had no idea why, but he couldn't understand the master's thoughts, let alone the subtle relationship between the master and the king.
"Don't ask so many questions!" Shenyin's face darkened.
Cheng Wei immediately lowered his head: "Yes!"
…
Chen An watched as Emperor Yi of Shang led the army to consolidate the defense and strengthen the small city gate of Long'an Town. The key point was that these more than 10,000 bandits also brought a large number of arrows and crossbows.
Chen An was very satisfied with what he saw. He took Xing'er and Jiang Yan to observe the surroundings with a look of interest on his face.
He had never seen a war, let alone fought in one. He had seen it on TV in his previous life, but it was all filmed so fakely.
Being immersed in the situation at this moment made Chen An very interested.
Suddenly, Chen An saw the people from Lushan preparing some catapults, kerosene and other things. He knew what they were for.
However, Emperor Yi of Shang was seen leading his men to throw a lot of white powder outside the city, but no one knew what it was used for.
"Jiang Yan, Xing'er, what did he spill?"
"It should be some kind of powder."
"What effect can the powder have? Can the smell it emits be poisonous to death?" Chen An asked curiously.
"This old servant doesn't know." Jiang Yan laughed dryly.
But at this moment, Chen An, standing on the city wall, saw the rolling dust and the sound of countless thundering hooves in the distance.
"Damn, it's such a big noise!" Chen An's eyes lit up.
At this moment, he was not nervous at all, but rather excited. He was about to witness a real battle!
Soon, the army arrived at the city, and the big flag with the word "wind" fluttered in the wind.
At least 10,000 war horses were neatly arranged, and the uniform armor and standard spears made these soldiers look extremely combat-ready.
Chen An was looking at the people on his side of the city wall. Comparing the two, this was probably a sharp contrast between the ace army and the miscellaneous army.
At this moment, a man wearing golden armor and riding a white tiger came forward from the enemy's formation.
He shouted to the tower: "Drop your weapons immediately, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, all of you will be put to death!"
The people on the city wall, a group of young and strong men who were conscripted, were obviously demoralized again.
However, the team led by Emperor Yi of Shang was full of banditry and very brave.
Emperor Yi of Shang stood at the edge of the city wall, looking at the army that had not yet appeared within the range of the crossbows, and said loudly: "Jiang Xingzhou, if you have the guts, come over here, and I will see if I can shoot you to death!"
Jiang Xingzhou, the general commanding the Feng Camp, was surprised when he heard the voice. "It's you! No wonder Long'an Town dared to rebel. That's good! This way, I won't have to attack Lushan later. It will save me the trouble to deal with it all at once!"
"Where is Chen An? Get out here!" Jiang Xingzhou shouted again.
Chen An leisurely held the teacup and glanced at the general who was shouting below: "I'm here. If you want to surrender, then surrender immediately."
"Chen An, the Lord of Linfeng City has ordered that if you immediately tie your hands and apologize to the Lord of the City, the Lord of the City will forgive your crime because you are a member of the Fengshen Sect."
Chen An asked Jiang Yan in surprise, "Does the Lord of Linfeng City know that I am the Lord of Fengshen Sect?"
"I guess he doesn't know, otherwise the mayor of Linfeng City probably wouldn't even dare to send soldiers here, let alone say these words to the king." Jiang Yan said calmly.
Chen An's eyes lit up: "You mean, our Fengshen Sect can really fight against the Tianyue Dynasty?"
Jiang Yan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you didn't just find out, did you?"
"Uh... I just found out about this!" Chen An was shocked.
A sect can actually fight against an empire. This... was absolutely unimaginable to Chen An before.
The key point is that he can't imagine now that an empire has vast lands, hundreds of millions of people, and an army that probably has hundreds of millions.
Still can’t deal with the Fengshen Sect?
Even if there are many masters in Fengshen Sect, the Tianyue Dynasty probably also has quite a few masters, right?
Chen An looked at the generals below and said coldly, "If you can return alive, tell your city lord to come over and apologize to me, otherwise I will go to his city lord's mansion as a guest!"
"Since you're seeking death, then this general won't be polite!"
Jiang Xingzhou, who was riding on a white tiger, suddenly jumped up with a spear in his hand, standing in the air, pointing the spear directly at Chen An on the city wall.
"Since you are a cultivator of the Fengshen Sect, then this general will fight you alone first!"
