The next day, at dusk, the sun was about to set, and the sunset had already appeared in the sky.

On the Helong Plain, more than 50,000 troops led by Lu Mingchuan were slowly advancing. After a whole day of marching, the soldiers seemed weak at this time.

In the middle of the army, a carriage was tightly guarded. Lu Mingchuan was sitting in the carriage. He frowned at this time and carefully read the secret letter sent by Song Renjie and Han Shizhong.

Lu Mingchuan did not expect that Han Shizhong's troops would be so severe. According to Han Shizhong, he had now given up on entering Tianshui City directly.

Due to military morale and other reasons, he has temporarily ordered the army to stop advancing. He is currently camping not far from the eastern part of Canglang Mountain, and has redeployed the combat plan. While he is highly vigilant of the sneak attacks of the Skeleton Legion, he sends elite teams into the mountains to investigate.

At the same time, Han Shizhong mentioned in his letter that it is estimated that the number of skeleton legions their troops encountered was about 5,000, and detailed explanations were made on the types, combat methods, fatal weaknesses and strength levels of those skeletons.

It is particularly clear that someone in the enemy can resurrect the skeleton that has not completely died, and can also summon skeletons from the dead soldiers' corpses.

Finally, he also mentioned that if someone appears from the other party’s dead spirit master in the form of a soul, don’t hesitate and directly order the soldiers to retreat and run as far as they can. If there is no time to retreat, you can try to let the worship spirit master who goes with the army protect it with the help of defensive spirit techniques.

The following description is a detailed report that Dong Changsheng eliminated three thousand soldiers with one skill.

Lu Mingchuan looked at Han Shizhong's information worth a thousand gold, and even felt that the 7,000 soldiers who died were dead.

This intelligence will provide an extremely important reference for Lu Mingchuan's subsequent combat command.

As for Song Renjie's information, it was completely vague. According to him, although nearly one hundred unknown warriors attacked the military camp last night, they were quickly subdued.

However, since then, a strange disease began to appear in the military camp. Many soldiers first had extremely itchy skin, and then gradually developed pustules.

If the pustules are not broken, the soldier's life will not be threatened for the time being, but when the pustules are caught, the soldier will die within three hours and the body will rot quickly.

At present, since the doctors and worshippers in the army could not find the exact cause, and the number of infected soldiers was increasing, the morale of the army was in turmoil, the mission to attack Shannan City could only be postponed.

In the end, Song Renjie promised that he would stabilize the morale of the army as soon as possible and find out the cause of the disease.

Lu Mingchuan put down the secret letter in his hand, closed his eyes and began to ponder.

After a while, a rapid sound of horse hooves went from far to near, and finally stopped not far outside the carriage, and then the carriage stopped.

A few breaths later, a voice came from outside: "General, Commander Wu has an emergency to report."

Lu Mingchuan said after hearing this: "Let him come here."

"yes."

Lu Mingchuan opened the curtain in front of the carriage, and then saw Wu Sanping hurriedly walking towards him. After Wu Sanping approached, he bowed with his fists and shouted, "General."

Lu Mingchuan responded: "No need to be polite, what happened?"

Wu Sanping hurriedly said, "General, the horse has discovered a skeleton army in front of him."

Lu Mingchuan was shocked when he heard this and immediately asked, "Where are they?"

Wu Sanping replied: "It is on the edge of the Helong Plain leading to Nanyang City, about 50 miles away from us."

Lu Mingchuan said in a serious tone when he heard this: "The person who came is not kind!"

After thinking for a while, he said to Wu Sanping: "You can dispatch personnel to conduct peripheral investigations, determine the types and quantities of skeletons, and report them in time."

Wu Sanping responded when he heard this: "Yes, General."

Then he left directly.

Then Lu Mingchuan waved his hand and a deputy general came over. Lu Mingchuan ordered: "Tell me the order, and the army will stop advancing immediately."

Hearing this, the man clasped his fists and said, "Yes, General."

Then he rode on the war horse and left.

At this time, Lu Mingchuan looked at another deputy general, and the man immediately stepped forward and shouted, "General."

Lu Mingchuan said without nonsense: "Tell me the order and immediately summon all the generals and the spiritual masters who were going to the army to discuss matters."

The man responded after hearing this: "Yes, General."

Lu Mingchuan picked up Han Shizhong's secret letter and said, "Prepare the horse."

Lu Mingchuan did not notice that there were several dark eyeballs above their entire army and paying attention to them throughout the whole process.

Fifty miles away, Dong Changsheng floated above the Skeleton Legion. Through the "Eye of Death", he saw that the imperial army stopped moving forward without any hesitation and ordered Skeleton No. 3 directly: "Keep the formation and accelerate the advance."

Skeleton No. 3 responded and said, "Affect your will, master."

Then Skeleton No. 3 said to all the skeletons: "Speed ​​up."

Suddenly, the marching speed of the Skeleton Legion increased by a large margin, and the entire legion was uniform, with no other sound except for the continuous "click" sound.

According to the initial plan, the Skeleton Legion led by Skeleton III should confront the Central Committee of the Kawataki Plain and the imperial army.

However, because Nangong Liuyun's thrust into the game, it delayed Dong Changsheng a lot of time and at the same time, the imperial army set out in advance, which led to the Skeleton Legion just entering the Helong Plain.

When Dong Changsheng saw the imperial army stop, he knew that the other party had discovered the Skeleton Legion. Of course, he had no intention of hiding.

As the Skeleton Legion approached quickly, the atmosphere in the command center of the court became more and more serious.

After Lu Mingchuan waited for the generals and spiritual masters to circulate Han Shizhong's secret letter, he ignored their surprised and suspicious expressions and directly ordered: "General Chen, your headquarters will defend the front battlefield. General Qian and General Li, you will lead the cavalry to surround them from both sides."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Sanping hurried here and said directly to Lu Mingchuan: "General, those skeletons are only 30 miles away from us."

Lu Mingchuan was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "How could it be so fast?"

Wu Sanping replied: "They ran too fast and there was no rest in the middle."

Lu Mingchuan calmed down and said, "Try again."

Wu Sanping clasped his fists and replied, "Yes, General."

Lu Mingchuan then spoke quickly and said to the three generals: "The weaknesses and attack methods of those skeletons must tell each soldier that their number is only more than 5,000, and our troops are ten times that of the other party. We must give full play to this advantage."

The three generals said in unison: "Yes, General."

Then Lu Mingchuan said, "You guys hurry up and get ready."

After they left, Lu Mingchuan said to the worshippers: "The other party's spiritual master will be handed over to you at that time."
