Two days to gather the alliance, half a day to assemble the army.
Half a million vanguard Allied troops marched out of the pass and headed for Sishui Pass.
Ji Chang led the army to conquer in person, Jiang Ziya took command, Nangong Shi was made a general, Boyikao and Ji Fa accompanied him, and after marching for more than half a month, they arrived at Sishui Pass.
Xiongguan is connected to Songyue Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The mountains are intertwined and form a natural danger. There is a strong trend of "one man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it".
Zhang Guifang and Li Jing stood on the city gate tower, watching the Xiqi rebels swarming in. They couldn't help showing a little sarcasm on their faces, "We are a tired army. Even the rebels of Yuan Futong in Beihai have been fighting for several years, and their morale is lower than that of the Xiqi rebels." Jun Gao.”
"There is a saying in the art of war. If the enemy is tired, I will fight. Lao Li, will you lead the troops down and kill them?" Zhang Guifang said with a smile.
"Why don't you go?"
"Isn't this the theory of mobile warfare that you learned? I learned the art of decisive battle with superior fire. It's up to you to kill the lightning strike."
"makes sense."
The nine general soldiers of Dashang have been training in Beihai for several years. They have all become full-level general soldiers and are proficient in combat on various terrains.
Li Jing, commander of the cavalry, was good at breaking through and encircling.
Zhang Guifang is good at finding fighter opportunities, and uses catapults, bows and arrows and other superior firepower to formulate decisive battle plans.
The lives of the people of Da Shang are too expensive, so of course there is no human sea attack.
Outside Sishui Pass.
As usual, Xiqi sent a silver-robed general to the foot of Sishui Pass to prepare for a duel.
"I am the younger brother of King Jichang of Zhou, and so is Ji Dan. Who dares to fight to the death with me!" Ji Dan shouted loudly.
boom! Long! Long!
The tightly closed Sishui Pass city gate slowly opened.
Then he saw Li Jing patting his horse and galloping out.
Ji Dan, holding a long sword in his hand, also clapped his horse and rushed forward.
boom! Tap tap tap!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of horse hooves in Sishui Pass shook the sky.
Then I saw thousands of light cavalry rushing out of the door one after another, holding sabers in their hands, with ferocious faces, and exuding the fierce aura of fierce soldiers, "Kill!"
"Kill!"
Ji Dan was rushing forward, and when he saw the scene of thousands of horses galloping, he was instantly dumbfounded, "Wucao? Don't you follow martial ethics?"
"You promised to fight the generals, but you guys fight in a group?"
On the hillside in the distance, Jiang Ziya looked at the front of Sishui Pass. When he saw nearly ten thousand cavalry rushing out, his expression suddenly changed.
"Quick, deploy your defenses quickly!"
"What the hell, why didn't Shang Jun play his cards according to the routine?"
"Shouldn't we fight generals first, go through the motions, and then fight?"
"It's different from the art of war learned in Kunlun Mountain..."
Li Jing took the lead and shouted loudly: "Don't worry about anything else, just follow me to attack the Xiqi rebel camp!"
Fighter? A child's trick.
The merchant army is all veterans of many battles, and winning or losing in battles will not affect morale at all.
boom! Tap!
Thousands of horses galloped and the earth trembled.
Xiqi's 500,000-strong vanguard army was on the road one after another, preparing to camp outside Sishui Pass to rest and recuperate. However, they never expected that the merchant army would already rush out without even having a drink of water.
A soldier covered in blood said in a panic: "Prime Minister, the vanguard has been overwhelmed by the merchant cavalry. They are heading straight for the king's camp to attack."
"Left guard, right guard come out to resist the horse formation, stop them!"
"Prime Minister, it's too late, it's too late, they are rushing too fast, the brothers are exhausted and cannot stop them..."
Li Jing led the elite cavalry to break through Laman, like gods coming down to earth, charging and killing at will in the Xiqi military camp.
The famous general Nangong Shixiqi was also beaten to the point where he was unable to fight back.
Jiang Ziya was also calm, climbed onto the high platform, and personally commanded the forward army to encircle him.
At this moment, the sound of drums came from Sishui Pass.
The elite cavalry who were charging to kill turned around, turned into a sharp spear and rushed out of the Xiqi military camp, and walked away.
Jiang Ziya stood on the high platform with a look of regret, "It's a pity that in half a moment, the army will be able to encircle and devour this group of cavalry."
Li Jing also showed regret at the same time, "It's a pity that Jiu Gong is not here, otherwise the foot and the cavalry would cooperate, 200,000 vs 500,000, the advantage would be mine!"
Although cavalry is the nemesis of infantry, when faced with an encirclement of several times or even dozens of times the army, they will inevitably be massacred by arrows.
The Shang Army introduced a new combat theory, infantry and cavalry coordination.
The cavalry is only responsible for charging and tearing apart the formation, while the infantry goes up to divide and encircle.
Deng Jiugong, an infantry expert, was not around, so Li Jing just gave up when he saw the opportunity. After charging and killing, he retreated, harassing a wave and earning a lot of blood.
Wait for Wanqi to return to the city.
Then he saw a young general in white robes walking out of the city, riding a horse and holding a spear. He shouted loudly: "I am Hu Hansan, who dares to fight with me?"
Xiqi Jun was dumbfounded.
"Is this how battles are fought?"
The Xiqi army, which was already exhausted, became even more exhausted after being killed in a wave.
At this time, the merchant army sent people out to fight against the generals again?
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Ziya immediately ordered, "The generals are not allowed to leave the camp."
After being killed in a wave, the morale was already plummeting. If the general lost again, the morale fell to the bottom.
Before Jiang Ziya's order reached the front army, a general rushed out of Xiqi's army.
"Hu Hansan, suffer death!"
The one who came out of the battle was Ji Dan just now.
Ji Dan, brave and powerful, is the third general of Xiqi.
Hu Hansan looked solemn, spurred his horse and flew out, the spear in his hand was unpredictable, "Take advantage of your grandfather's move!"
The gun shadow changes extremely quickly and is infinitely powerful.
The two sides only met once before Ji Dan was knocked off his horse.
Hu Hansan threw out the noose, put it around Ji Dan's neck, turned and walked towards the city.
The horses dragged a long trail of blood.
The Xiqi army was dumbfounded again.
"That's General Ji Dan!"
"The so-called third general of Xiqi, was defeated like this?"
"You couldn't last even one move?"
As expected, Xiqi fell into panic and his morale plummeted.
Hu Hanshan can be regarded as half a disciple of Kong Xuan. He is extremely talented and has been trained in the army for several years. Although he looks young, he is already a veteran on the battlefield.
How can Ji Dan's embroidered pillow be comparable?
In the first battle before Sishui Pass, the Xiqi rebels suffered a serious setback.
Jiang Ziya also played the no-fight card.
Night, third watch.
The Xiqi army was resting and sleeping.
The sound of horse hooves vibrating was heard outside the camp again.
"Hey, hey, hey, your grandpa Li Jing is here again!"
"Rocket ready!"
"biU!"
Thousands of arrows were fired, and the entire Xiqi camp suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
Jiang Ziya walked out angrily and cursed loudly: "What the hell, labor and management have already issued a no-war card. Instead of fighting, they are still carrying out a sneak attack?"
War is not a child's play, it is life and death.
Obviously, Jiang Ziya's military thinking is still too immature.
They raided the camp seven times in one night.
The entire Xiqi military camp has been numbed.
Jiang Ziya stood on the sand table, pondered for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers have deceitful ways, which are false and true."
"Feint attacks and sneak attacks seven times. When dawn comes, when the men and horses are exhausted, the whole army will surely attack!"
"Command the soldiers to prepare for battle and prepare to kill the enemy!"
Xiqi's army guarded from midnight to dawn, until the sun rose, but did not see the merchant army attack at all.
Inside Sishui Pass.
Li Jing woke up from a beautiful sleep and yawned, "Soldiers are both false and true. I'm sorry, but I, the commander-in-chief, predicted your prediction."
Chao Ge's edict has not yet been sent, and the front line is focused on defense. It will not take 200,000 defenders to fight Xiqi's 500,000 army in a decisive battle.
"An Essay on War: If the enemy is ten, besiege it; if it is five, attack it; if the enemy is doubled, fight it; if the enemy is small, he can be divided; if he is small, he can be defended; if he is small, he can be avoided."
Zhang Guifang, as the master of superior fire duel, was nicknamed King Gou!
Time is like fine sand, more than a month has passed since the war between human dynasties broke out.
Xiqi's 500,000-strong army blocked Sishui Pass and could not be penetrated at all.
On this day, Zhang Guifang's hands were itchy and he rode out of the city. "Who dares to fight with me?"
The Xiqi rebels have been holding back their anger for a month, how can they endure it.
Then he saw a general running out of the Xiqi camp.
Zhang Guifang looked at the visitor with a solemn face and asked loudly: "Please leave your name, general."
"I am Ji Taimei, the third younger brother of King Zhou."
"The chicken is too beautiful? The name is weird."
"Ji Taimei, if you don't get off your horse now, when will you wait?" Zhang Guifang shouted loudly.
Jitaimai suddenly felt dizzy, her limbs were weak, and she fell off the horse in a daze.
Xiqi troops: "???"
pS: Insert a map of Fengshen. The location of Bishui Pass is as follows: Xiqi, Bishui Pass, Chuanyun, Tongguan, Lintong Pass, Mianchi, Mengjin, and Chaoge.
