Five days later.
Thirty thousand ethnic armies from Xiayang County, Weiyang County, and Donglai County traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the canyon oasis in the middle of the desert, ten miles away, at noon that day.
In order to take advantage of the weather, the human army deliberately chose noon, when the scorching sun was in the sky and the sun was strongest, to approach the Grand Canyon.
Under the scorching sun, it is very conducive to suppressing the actions of the ghost clan and can greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the ghost soldiers.
"Look, what is that?"
"Is it a dark cloud?"
Suddenly, a cavalryman pointed at a dark cloud floating in the sky in the canyon and said in surprise.
"With the scorching sun in the sky, how come there are large black clouds covering the canyon? Is there a heavy rain in the canyon?"
"Are you kidding? The desert is so dry. A drop of water drops into the sand and disappears in the blink of an eye. Where did the heavy rain come from? How could there be such inky black clouds?!"
"Why does this canyon where ghosts are entrenched have such a strange climate?"
The soldiers and cavalrymen walking in front were all surprised and even frightened.
At the forefront of the Donglai Army, Young Princess Li Hao, Pan Yun and other warriors were riding tall horses in front. They were also very surprised by the dark clouds in the canyon and started talking a lot.
"Li Hao! You are number one on the "Donglai Ranking", so you must be extremely knowledgeable. Do you know what that dark cloud is? Tell me, brothers!"
Pan Yun said with a smile.
This time when the Donglai Army conquered the Ghost Tribe, it was his father, General Pan, who led the expedition. Without Li Zhouying, the princess of Donglai County, to support Li Hao, he was thinking of ways to hurt Li Hao's face along the way.
Pan Yun's subordinates, the martial lords, burst into laughter all around him.
"Of course I don't know, but Brother Pan, you know that you are second in the "Donglai List"? I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case."
Li Hao's gloomy, snow-white face sneered.
Pan Yun was speechless for a moment.
Almost all the Martial Lords don't know what's going on. The humans in Canglan Kingdom have the most combat experience against the beasts, but they rarely fight against the ghosts and spirits.
They really don't know much about the ghost clan.
Princess Ling Jiaojiao rode on a red horse, looked up at the dark clouds in the sky of the canyon ten miles away, and asked Ye Fan not far away: "Ye Fan! You are very knowledgeable and know almost everything! Do you know what's going on with these dark clouds?!"
"Princess, this is the legendary ghost cloud!! In places where ghosts live, ghost mist will gradually be born. The ghost mist is strong and ghost clouds will be born. The ghost cloud covers the sky and the sun and can withstand the scorching sun. This ghost cloud is very harmful to ghosts. It is extremely beneficial to our clan, but it is poisonous mist to our human race! Once a human warrior enters the ghost mist, he will be poisoned by corpse poison and die if he does not come out for two hours. This is also the first time I have seen it!"
Ye Fan raised his head and glanced at the black cloud, feeling a little heavy in his heart, and said calmly.
"Guiyun?"
When the martial masters around him heard this, they were all shocked and finally understood what was going on.
This news quickly spread throughout the entire army.
"A large ghost cloud was actually born in the canyon!"
"No wonder they are so eerie and terrifying, they gather in the canyon and won't disperse!"
The 30,000-strong army looked in shock as a thick ghost cloud filled the low sky in the Grand Canyon with a radius of dozens of miles.
Under the shroud of ghost clouds covering dozens of miles, the canyon was pitch black, completely blocking the scorching sun in the sky.
Under the cover of the ghost clouds, the ghost soldiers in this grand canyon can move freely without worrying about being burned to death by the scorching sun.
In other words, in the great desert outside, the human race still occupies the right time and place.
But within this grand canyon, the ghost soldiers occupied the right time and place.
Not to mention the ordinary soldiers and warriors who were shocked and changed their expressions, even the five powerful Lord Wuhou were shocked by the large ghost cloud that ranged dozens of miles in the grand canyon in front of them.
"Master Han, how come there is such a huge ghost cloud in this canyon? There is no record of this in the enemy situation you reported!"
Pan Dahai was surprised and asked Han Boqing.
Han Baiqing's expression also changed, and he hurriedly explained: "Two months ago, when I came to fight the Ghost Marquis, I did not see this ghost cloud at that time... Could it be that in these short two months, the birth of from?"
"But as far as I know, the birth of ghost clouds takes a very long time, ranging from dozens of years to hundreds of years before a ghost cloud can be born. Such a ghost cloud with a radius of dozens of miles will take at least a hundred years to be born! "
"There is a ghost holy 'ghost world' here, which is very beneficial to the growth of the ghost clan! It is probably because of this 'ghost world' that the ghost clouds grow at an alarming rate."
"In just two months, this ghost clan has become a climate in this grand canyon! It's really scary!"
"Fortunately, we arrived in time! If this ghost tribe is not wiped out in a few years, I am afraid that this vast desert of thousands of miles will be shrouded in large ghost clouds and become the territory of the ghost tribe! At that time, the ghost soldiers can come from the desert at any time. Fight your way out and go deep into all parts of our Canglan Kingdom!"
The five Wuhous were all shocked.
I saw the sand village at the entrance of the canyon. Thousands of skeleton archers and zombie soldiers had occupied the wooden wall of the sand village and were on guard with bows.
In the sky of the canyon, there were several bone eagles flying hundreds of feet in the sky, monitoring the human army in the distance.
Looking at the formation of the ghost princes, the ghost princes in the canyon had long known that a human army was coming, and were waiting for them to attack.
The five Wuhou originally planned to rush in with their elite troops after arriving at the canyon. Rely on your own strength to win.
But this battle plan is probably no longer feasible.
The canyon was completely shrouded in ghost clouds and ghost mist. There were countless ghost soldiers and ghost formations lurking inside. How dare they let 30,000 troops rush in and die!
How to fight this battle made it difficult for the five Wu Hous to make up their minds for a while.
...
"That Ghost Lord is very wise!"
"Gather all the ghost soldiers, use the ghost clouds to hide them, and hide the soldiers and horses in the canyon. The sand village is covered with skeleton archers, and the bone eagles fly in the sky to monitor. This is obviously an excellent battle command ability!"
"The Ghost Lord is hiding deep. He knows that the human army is coming to attack, but he doesn't show up! This is hiding murderous intentions, waiting for us to attack him, so that he can cause trouble!"
"The ghost army here has obviously formed a climate, but it did not rush out of the canyon, but turned the entire Grand Canyon into a ghost realm that is very beneficial to the ghost army!"
"I'm afraid this battle will be a bit difficult to fight!"
Ye Fan looked at the canyon ahead and began to look worried.
Originally, he thought that it would be relatively easy for five Wuhou Realm masters and 30,000 elite troops to come to conquer the ghost tribe. It would be relatively easy to annihilate this desert ghost tribe.
But now it seems that it is not optimistic.
At the forefront of the 30,000-strong human army, five generals from the Marquis of Wu were discussing countermeasures. Hundreds of Martial Master Realm captains were nearby, and they all fell into hesitation and silence when faced with this unpredictable ghost cloud in the Grand Canyon.
Han Boqing shook his head: "General Pan, you are General Zhenhai, and you are the most proficient in battles. The monarch sent you here because he hopes you will command this battle. Although we are princesses and deans, we are not as good at commanding battles as you. So, How to fight the war, ultimately it is up to you to make the decision!"
The other Wuhou also nodded one after another.
They all have their own strengths, but they are not good at commanding battles.
Even Dean Cao Hao, a peak figure in the late Wuhou realm with top-notch combat power, is far inferior to Pan Dahai when it comes to deploying troops to fight.
The monarch took into account the dignity of the five Wuhous and asked them to lead the army together without directly saying who was the chief general and who was the deputy general.
But since Pan Dahai, the Zhenhai general who specializes in commanding battles, is sent, he is the main general.
"I'm good at naval combat and dealing with the sea beast clan, but I'm not familiar with the battle against the ghost clan!"
Pan Dahai also felt very troubled.
Xiayang County is a weak county in the Canglan Kingdom. It is located in the hinterland of the Canglan Kingdom. It has always been peaceful and uneventful. The appearance of a few thieves in the desert is not worth mentioning. The entire Xiayang County has weak generals and few troops, and no heavy troops have been deployed.
The monarch couldn't find a suitable general in the surrounding counties, so he transferred General Zhenhai to attack this desert ghost tribe that suddenly appeared.
He was just trying to catch a duck, and General Zhenhai was used as General Zhensha.
Fortunately, he looks rough and carefree in appearance, but in his actions he is bold and careful, without any impulsiveness.
Pan Dahai pondered for a moment and then said to the lieutenants: "Does any of you know the ghost clan and have any good strategies? If you can come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy, I will reward you with a thousand yuan stones! Regardless of the quality of the strategy, as long as it can If you use it, I will reward you generously."
Hearing this, hundreds of martial arts masters were ready to make a move.
A thousand Yuan Stones, that was a windfall, enough to make all the Martial Lords tempted.
But after thinking about it carefully, all the martial arts masters were a little frustrated and found that they could not get this huge reward at all.
Most of them are very unfamiliar with the ghost clan.
Even a few people who know a little bit about the ghost clan do not dare to speak easily and claim that they have a way to defeat the ghost clan in the canyon.
Princess Jiaojiao held the horse, but suddenly she smiled brightly and said: "General Pan, you are leaving the great talents in front of you unused while you are busy looking for them. Aren't you wasting your talents in vain?"
"Does the princess have a way to defeat this canyon ghost soldier?!"
Pan Dahai was surprised and asked with a laugh.
"I, Li Hao, Pan Yun, and Ye Fan, the four of us are leading the troops. I dare not say anything else. It is easy to break through the sand village in front of us! If we cannot break it, the four of us are willing to be punished together!"
Princess Jiaojiao raised the whip in her hand, pointed at herself, then named the three of them, and said with a smile.
Li Hao and Pan Yun were immediately shocked together.
Princess Jiaojiao wants to attack the sand village in front of her, what does this have to do with them! I have to drag them with me to fight! And he also brought along the "unknown person" Ye Fan. I really don't know what the princess is thinking.
The two of them were unsure and were not too willing to take action, but since Princess Jiaojiao had called her name to fight in public, they could not refuse. Otherwise, it will make the princess angry and the gain will outweigh the loss.
In the future, Princess Jiaojiao will return to the capital sooner or later, and she will still be the apple of the king's eye. They became Wuhou the next day and headed to the capital, hoping to win Princess Jiaojiao's favor and support them.
"Li Hao, Pan Yun, and Ye Fan, the princess named you three because she must value your talents. Are you three willing to fight with the princess to break through the sand village? There can be no mistakes in this battle!"
Pan Dahai shouted and asked the three of them.
Li Hao said helplessly: "Of course! It's just a sand village, no problem!"
Pan Yun reined up his horse and stepped out of the queue, saying seriously: "My child is willing to go out to fight and make his first contribution!"
"yes!"
Ye Fan then rode out from the army.
