Yin Shang Dynasty, Chaoge.
For some reason, everyone noticed that the atmosphere in the city had suddenly become tense recently. The elite imperial army that originally guarded the capital frequently appeared on the streets, walking in a hurry and doing things in a hurry.
The whole country seemed to be a huge machine, starting to move silently.
Outside Chaoge City, the three-foot-long general tower stood in the wind, with flags flying in all directions and the sound of hunting.
In front of the general's stage, 300,000 Yin and Shang forbidden troops stood in awe, holding swords and swords, and the scene was desolate.
These 300,000 forbidden troops are the most elite army in the entire Yin and Shang Dynasty, and they are also the last trump card to guard Chaoge.
Each of them is skilled in bow and horse, and has superb martial arts. They can be compared to ten. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the best soldiers among the best soldiers. If the gods and immortals do not end up, they are enough to sweep away the princes from all directions. It can be said that they are the foundation of the Yin Shang Dynasty to shock the world.
Such an army can make people tremble just by standing there.
The sky has turned cold, and the cold wind is as biting as a knife.
But in the biting cold wind, no one in the army complained, and no one wavered.
Each one of them stood as straight as a javelin.
At this moment, the city gates suddenly opened in all directions, and the emperor's chariot came into view first, with ribbons and red silk fluttering, and swords, swords, and halberds standing everywhere.
Three thousand cavalry, eight hundred imperial guards, Grand Master Wen Zhong escorted them, and the entire court was accompanied by civil and military personnel. They came directly to the 300,000-strong army.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
With a loud shout, King Zhou strode onto the stage surrounded by his grand master and hundreds of civil and military officials.
Today's King Zhou seems to have changed from usual. He is actually wearing a black armor with complex inscriptions on it and a dazzling red cloak behind him.
Holding a sword in hand, he moves with great force.
A little less of the alcoholic smell that originally lingered in the harem, and a little more domineering of a human emperor.
He seems to be the real master of Yin and Shang Dynasty and the human emperor of this world.
It's different. It's completely different from before. Not far away, Bigan and other ministers looked at King Zhou in front of them. For a moment, they were vaguely consistent with their memories. That innate divine power, that bravery that could support others and replace others. King Zhou seems to be back again.
"See Your Majesty!"
When King Zhou stood firmly on the stage, all the civil and military officials around him immediately fell to the ground and bowed their heads in salute to King Zhou.
After they prostrated, the 300,000 Chao Ge elite imperial guards also knelt down.
There was a crash, followed by the sound of a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
King Zhou couldn't help but feel emotional at this moment, and he clenched his sword tightly.
You must know that in his early years, he also learned swords and soldiers, and he even led troops in battles, attacking thousands of miles away and mopping up enemy chiefs.
It was only after he conquered the world that he became slack, arrogant and extravagant, and became the King Zhou who is scolded by the world today.
At this moment, King Zhou stood in front of these thousands of troops and was eager to try. He wished he could lead the army immediately and wipe out Xiqi. No matter what difficulties and dangers lay ahead, he still wanted to avenge Doctor Shen.
However, as soon as this thought arose, Grand Master Wen below coughed heavily, and then suddenly looked at him.
Well, in the end, King Zhou's idea of a personal expedition was suppressed by Grand Master Wen and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
King Zhou originally wanted to resist and insist on his own way, but the old master's pair of golden whips were very intimidating, and coupled with the advice of the civil and military officials in the dynasty, he was in a dilemma.
Shaking his head, King Zhou's sharp eyes swept across the stage one by one. He thought of his loyal minister Dr. Shen.
It was here that I personally sent him off to the battle, but the final result could not help but make people sigh.
King Zhou took a step forward, then took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at the generals, civil and military, and spoke seriously.
"Commanders and soldiers, since Gu succeeded to the throne, war has been going on in all directions for a long time, and the Yin and Shang Dynasties are in a state of decline."
"Only one person stood up at this critical moment. He turned the tide, saved the country from collapse, and saved the people from ruin. His achievements can be said to be unparalleled in the world. But now, such unparalleled talents have been killed by the Xiqi thieves. harmed.”
King Zhou's eyes were filled with deep heaviness.
All the generals were speechless, only a sad atmosphere spread out.
At this moment, they may have vaguely known that something happened to Xiqi, and that Doctor Shen, who was unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness and served the country and the people, was also very likely to be in danger.
King Zhou continued to say bitterly:
"Now the white jade pillars of my Yin and Shang dynasties support the sky, and the purple golden beams that support the sea are harmed by Xiqi."
"How can you not avenge such a great hatred? Otherwise, how can you deal with the common people in the world?"
King Zhou's tone was as angry as a bell, making people feel the endless anger in his heart.
"Today, the Grand Master wants to attack Xiqi, so he should act as his agent. I promise that Huang Yan and Bai Yue will be the ones dedicated to the expedition."
"We must wipe out the evil thieves, bring peace to the world, and bring justice to the world."
"Today, I personally fill a cup to say farewell to you, and then I pay tribute to all the soldiers."
Wen Zhong walked slowly to the front of the stage, his eyes gleaming red. He thought of the three times he visited Shen's house, and how he confronted Doctor Shen Xiqi, and even thought of his reputation as a master.
Not only him, but all the civil and military officials and soldiers of the Forbidden Army were also red-eyed, and some even burst into tears.
The wind blew coldly, and carts of liquor appeared in front of the generals. The doctor was in trouble, and he could only use this as a sacrifice for his wounds.
"Kill Xiqi and bring justice to the doctor!"
The eyes of the soldiers from all directions were red, and they passed countless wine bowls down like a long queue, and then held them in front of them.
Many soldiers also looked the same, holding it high.
Although everyone is in the military, they all know Dr. Shen very well, and they admire and respect him for everything he does.
Now that I heard this bad news, I naturally wanted to avenge him.
King Zhou stopped talking at this moment, but slowly raised the wine bowl in his hand, sprinkled it from above his head, and finally threw it heavily to the ground.
"boom!"
The wine glass was smashed, and the generals learned the lesson.
"Army!"
Grand Master Wen slowly got on Mo Qilin, his eyes were firm, and he ordered in a deep voice.
"Here!"
All the soldiers gathered their swords and swords and shouted in unison.
Outside Chaoge City, war flags were flying, and excited and cheerful sounds resounded in all directions.
"The Grand Master will be alone and carefree during this trip. I'll wait for good news from the Grand Master soon."
After King Zhou finished speaking, he watched the army in the distance slowly march out to fight, and did not leave for a long time.
It was late autumn in the twenty-fourth year of King Zhou.
Wen Zhong, the old master, led the imperial army with 300,000 troops. He also transferred Wucheng King Huang Feihu to lead 100,000 troops from the East China Sea, Chentangguan Commander-in-Chief Li Jing led 100,000 troops, and Sanshan Pass Commander-in-Chief Deng Jiugong led 100,000 troops.
Four armies, totaling 600,000 men, headed for Xiqi for a decisive battle on a starry night, determined to avenge Dr. Shen's blood.
…
The sky in Xiqi is a little gloomy, and it seems that a heavy snow is coming.
Zhang Guifang was walking in the military camp wearing a suit of armor, but his face at this moment was gloomier than the sky.
Although Jiang Ziya did not take any advantage in his last night attack, the opponent had many generals and high morale. We tried our best to resist, but we were unable to hold on alone.
In the end, the food and grass were burned by Yang Jian. The little fox was also attacked by Jiang Ziya and was whipped.
The rest of them were all injured and had no strength to fight anymore. The Yin Shang army was disheartened. Zhang Guifang and others could only lose one defeat after another, retreating hundreds of miles in three days.
"Chief Commander, how could things become like this?" Looking at the soldiers running for their lives in a panic in front of them, the vanguard officer Feng Lin beside him had an ugly face, and his eyes were filled with uneasy anxiety.
He, a small pioneer officer, came into contact with the world of immortals and gods.
It feels like I've been living in a dream lately and it's incredible.
First, the Yin Shang Ming Dynasty set up a large formation, leaving Jiang Ziya and others with nothing to do, and surrounded Xiqi.
No matter how you look at it, you have the upper hand.
After that, two inexplicable people suddenly fell from the sky. They just raised their hands and took away the powerful Shitianjun and Sanxiao who could control the wind and rain. Even Doctor Shen did not escape.
Immediately afterwards, the situation reversed again. Jiang Ziya inexplicably gained the upper hand and even defeated the merchant army. He was defeated for the first time and fled.
Feng Lin didn't know what was wrong, he just felt like his head was spinning.
"On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly."
"Alas!" Zhang Guifang sighed. He was more knowledgeable than Feng Lin. He had personally entertained Shi Tianjun and other immortals on behalf of Dr. Shen, so he was able to calm down slowly.
"Feng Lin, please quickly pass on the order and order the soldiers to be reduced to pieces. The generals can lead their own troops to escape."
For the sake of safety, and to save the lives of the current soldiers, Zhang Guifang planned to break them into pieces to avoid being killed by Jiang Ziya.
As for how much you can escape, it depends on fate.
"As you command!"
Feng Lin stood up and left, summoning the generals and issuing Zhang Guifang's military orders.
However, after a moment, he ran back quickly and strode towards Zhang Guifang with an ugly face.
"Master General, we probably won't be able to leave!"
"What happened?" Zhang Guifang looked at Feng Lin's anxious expression, and her heart slowly began to sink.
"Xiqi's scouting horses have appeared around the camp here."
"Not good!" Zhang Guifang was shocked.
"Don't be alarmed, sir. Although we are defeated, we still have the strength to fight. At worst, the killer will go out, and even Xiqi'er will not be able to stop him."
"What's more, General Han at Sishui Pass should get the news and come to support at this moment." Feng Lin clenched the mace in his hand, his eyes were fierce, and he had the aura to start a fight without even saying a word.
It also meant to comfort Zhang Guifang.
After all, although they lost the battle, the Yin Shang Dynasty was not at the end of the road, and they still had the city gates to rely on.
Han Rong, the commander-in-chief of Sishui Pass, has been guarding this place for many years, and his martial arts skills are also extraordinary. What's more, there are many soldiers in Guan City. As long as the other party is willing to help, the crisis here will definitely be solved.
"It's hard, it's hard!"
"You can think of it, but Jiang Ziya can't think of it?"
"Perhaps, Xiqi's goal is not just us, he may also attack Sishui Pass!" Zhang Guifang was anxious and spoke loudly:
"Have you ever thought about why Xiqi clearly has the upper hand, but gives us a chance to escape every time?"
"Does he really not have the strength to wipe out the entire army? I don't think so!"
"Perhaps the opponent has already started planning, using us as bait to draw out the hole, and then surround the area for reinforcements."
"Once General Han comes out of the city to rescue us, something bad will happen, and we will fall into Xiqi's trap."
"No...it's impossible!" Feng Lin's voice was trembling: "Is Jiang Ziya that powerful? I don't think Mr. Han will fall for this easily."
"Hmph! Impossible?"
"I think this is Jiang Ziya's idea. Not only does he want to destroy the army and the outside of Xiqi City, he also wants to seize Sishui Pass and invade Chaoge!" Zhang Guifang said coldly: "Otherwise, would it have taken so long to solve it for us?"
He knew that although the little fox was strong, Xiqi had a stronger existence, and it was impossible for the other party to ignore him.
If Jiang Ziya didn't kill them all immediately, he must have other plans.
Feng Lin looked a little flustered. After all, he was just a vanguard officer. He could fight, but don't let him use his brain.
This is not his strong point.
"Then Commander-in-Chief, what should we do? Is it possible to just sit back and wait for death?"
"What can you do? Do your best and obey fate." Zhang Guifang responded and fell into deep thought.
After all, they have no way out now. They are just for the sake of knives and soldiers, and I are for the sake of fish and meat.
After all, you can’t protect yourself!
Alas, it would be great if Doctor Shen was here, so he wouldn't be trapped here and helpless. He was resourceful and would definitely be able to think of a way to solve the problem and give Jiang Ziya a fight.
What a pity, what a pity! Zhang Guifang couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
But Doctor Shen was captured by the saint in heaven at this moment, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. It was simply unrealistic for him to appear here.
"How about we fight to the foot of Sishui Pass and meet General Han?" Feng Lin on the side said with a grin, holding up his mace.
This is not a solution.
"Do you think we can kill him? According to what he thinks now, Jiang Ziya will definitely put a heavy force between the two armies. After all, no one wants the bait to escape." Zhang Guifang shook her head and rejected this proposal.
After all, if Jiang Ziya wanted to seize Sishui Pass, how could he not think of this.
Xiqi is not a mob. Those disciples of Chanjiao are all powerful and have many treasures. Especially Yang Jian Nezha and others have no rivals among the Shang army.
Not to mention the aloof Golden Immortal.
Even if they finally meet up with Han Rong, the result will definitely be that they will be caught in one fell swoop and there will be no splash.
Unless, unless Dr. Shen can fall from the sky.
But that is simply impossible.
"That's all, that's all." Zhang Guifang said with determination: "Inform Old General Lu to take Tianxiang and Dr. Shen's two beauties, escorted by the four generals of the Demon Family, to leave here quickly and go to Jiameng Pass. You cannot go to Sishui Pass."
"Besides, you have to leave quickly. It's best to leave immediately."
"Where are you, sir?" Feng Lin was stunned.
"Me?" Zhang Guifang frowned: "Of course I want to stay here at the rear to stop the Xiqi rebels."
"Then I went to General Han's place at Sishui Pass. I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling."
After that, Zhang Guifang gathered his troops, mounted his war horses, and prepared to rush towards Sishui Pass.
However, before he left the camp, he heard war drums suddenly rumbling from all directions, endless shouts of killing, and the Zhou army in the distance.
Facing the crisis before her, Zhang Guifang could only sigh again:
"It would be great if Doctor Shen was here!"
…
