Fighting at dusk, war at night, miserable wind, and war drums in winter.
Almost immediately, the fighting at the Bashui Pass reached a fever pitch. Countless torches collided together, and the flames dyed the sky red.
Chaotic shouts of killing resounded from all directions.
Under the cover of the army, Wen Zhong was helpless even if he was a little helpless.
"All troops, please stay calm and defend the city wall!"
He wanted to organize his soldiers to stop him, but the soldiers of Xiqi and the allied forces of the princes seemed to be endless. For a time, the city wall defense line was in danger.
The fire in the sky became brighter and brighter, as dazzling as the day, and there was a rumble at the city gate, like thunder in the sky, shaking the world.
Looking over, I saw a huge golden demon-subduing pestle falling from the sky and hitting the city gate hard.
In an instant, the city gate shattered and wood and rocks flew everywhere.
"Keep it for me!"
The guard at the city gate shouted and resolutely led the remaining dozens of people in front of him to block the attack.
"boom!"
There was another loud "rumbling" sound, and the demon-conquering pestle came again. This time, the city gate was not so lucky. Under this terrifying power, any defense was like a paper lake.
The defenders and the dozens of soldiers didn't even have a splash of water, and they were no longer alive.
Without the obstruction of the city gate, General Xiqi finally entered Sishui Pass.
Looking at the dangerous Guancheng everywhere, Wen Zhong couldn't help but his eyes darkened, and he felt a little heartbroken and lost his mind.
But at this moment, Jiang Ziya suddenly raised his flying sword and stabbed him unexpectedly.
The strong wind also swept up, carrying a terrifying murderous aura.
Hearing that the Grand Master saw it with his inner eye, he hurriedly avoided it, but was stabbed in the chest. He immediately screamed and vomited blood.
At this moment, the dragon-bearded tiger was also throwing rocks everywhere on Guancheng. Countless huge rocks came like locusts, covering the sky and the sun.
The power was astonishing, as if the earth was shattering, causing the three armies in the pass to flee. The army was in chaos, and the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty shouted and surrounded them from the city wall. I heard how Master Wen could withstand it.
At this time, he saw a sudden fire in the city. Yang Jian burned the grain and grass, and Chengtang's army was in chaos.
I saw flames soaring into the sky, golden snakes dancing wildly, and the Zhou army's gongs and drums beating, killing all the merchant soldiers until they were crying with ghosts and gods.
Wen Taishi saw that the Zhou soldiers were coming with great force, and knew that their sharpness had been weakened, and they expected to be unable to win. Before he could say anything, he heard the Zhou soldiers around him shouting everywhere:
"Holy Lord Xiqi, the destiny of heaven is restored. King Zhou is unruly and framed all the people. Why don't you surrender to Xiqi and enjoy your well-being! Why bother to use your strength to become a solitary man and bring about your own destruction!"
At this moment, Wen Zhong's face seemed to have aged dozens of years, and he felt completely hopeless in his heart, especially when he looked at those Yin Shang Erlangs in the sea of fire and under the rubble, who were taught by Chan in order to protect themselves. The disciples were slaughtered mercilessly.
In front of the gods, the lives of mortals are as fragile as paper. Wen Zhong couldn't help but burst into tears. At this time, his strength was useless, and his methods were useless.
Not only did he sigh secretly in his heart, with this defeat, I am incompetent. I am sorry for the previous kings of Chengtang, and I am even more sorry for the hundreds of thousands of merchant soldiers.
Seeing that the teacher was depressed by this teaching, the disciple Yu Qing beside him was so worried that he couldn't help shouting:
"Teacher, you have to cheer up. We are not defeated yet. The Yin Shang Dynasty still has four obstacles. The Yellow River is naturally dangerous. Doctor Shen can stand alone against a million troops. Now as long as we regroup, we will definitely turn defeat into victory."
"Disciple sees that no Zhou army has arrived at the north gate yet, and there is still a chance to break out of the siege. I will protect the teacher and Dr. Shen and return to Chaoge first to deal with it!"
"Shen...yes, there is also Doctor Shen." Wen Zhong was suddenly awakened by Yu Qing's words. Yin Shang still has Doctor Shen, and there are natural dangers in the Yellow River. We have not yet completely failed.
For this plan, we should do our best to protect the doctor out of the city, return him to Chaoge, and then fight Xiqi decisively!
Thinking of this, Wen Zhong suddenly felt a strong belief in his heart. Even if he died today, he would never let the doctor suffer any harm.
Seeing that the soldiers around him could no longer resist, Wen Zhong suddenly raised his sword and issued an order:
"All armies abandoned the city and broke out of the siege, and used all their strength to protect Doctor Shen from the city."
Under the life-saving protection of his disciples Ji Li and Yu Qing, Wen Zhong did not hesitate to turn around the city, looking for Dr. Shen, gathering the defeated troops and fighting away.
When the surrounding generals heard that they were going to protect Doctor Shen to break out of the encirclement, they were not afraid of death. They even launched a desperate counterattack, temporarily interrupting Xiqi's offensive.
Wen Taishi led the Yin Shang generals to protect Shen Xin and retreated all the way. They were defeated for dozens of miles that night.
Seeing this, Jiang Ziya didn't care about seizing the city and mobilized his troops to pursue him.
Shen Xin:......
He watched helplessly as Xiqi's army followed behind him, but there was nothing he could do.
In fact, Shen Xin really wanted to say, let me go and let me die.
However, Wen Zhong and other generals tightly surrounded him and fled forward. Shen Xin was trapped by the crowd and was not given any chance.
For the first time, he felt that death was so close to him, but his teammates were desperately trying to hold him back.
Tired, tired!
I am exhausted and exhausted, this world is not worth it!
But at this moment, no one cared about Shen Xin's expression at all. Everyone thought you were dangerous and you were a threat.
Zhang Guifang looked at her silver spear at this moment, and then at Doctor Shen. Then she looked serious and turned around to kill Xiqi without hesitation.
Shen Xin quickly stopped him and asked helplessly: "General Zhang, where are you going?"
Zhang Guifang raised her gun, cupped her fists, and said solemnly: "If doctor Xiqi had not sacrificed his life to help, the general would have died long ago. Now that doctor is in trouble, in order to repay his kindness, Fang is willing to lead the soldiers to cut off the rear and fight to the end."
"Give your life back to the doctor!"
It was obvious that Zhang Guifang was serious and determined to die.
"..."
Shen Xin was speechless again and quickly stopped Zhang Guifang before others could react:
"General Zhang, you don't have to be like this, you don't owe me anything!"
Good guy, in the past, others advised me not to die. Why did you do the opposite today?
Faced with this situation, Shen Xin was really unable to complain.
But Zhang Guifang was extremely moved at this moment. The doctor treated him like a reborn parent, and it would not be an exaggeration for her to repay him with her life.
"Doctor Shen, I will finally know that you have good intentions, but the most important thing now is to protect you and the grand master and return to Chaoge safely."
"The Yin Shang Dynasty can do without me, Zhang Guifang, but it cannot do without the doctor."
"For you, I will be willing to sacrifice everything!"
Zhang Guifang's eyes were firm when she said these words, and she didn't feel like giving up at all. As she said this, she rode out directly.
…
He didn't even have a chance to react to Shen Xin. Seeing that Zhang Guifang had not been touched, he felt even more unhappy, so he quickly changed the topic and asked Wen Zhong:
"Grand Master, where are the soldiers returning now?"
After hearing this, Grand Master Wen had no choice but to brace himself and ask the disciple next to him:
"Where to from here?"
Ji Li replied: "Here we go to Jiameng Pass."
Wen Zhong pondered for a moment, looked at the road ahead, and said, "Doctor, why don't we just go to Jiameng Pass."
Shen Xin looked at the generals coming around and had no choice but to nod as he had no chance to rush out.
After saying this, Wen Zhong urged his men and horses to advance. Unfortunately, he was defeated and fled. His power was greatly reduced, and he was really uninterested.
Everyone sighed and groaned along the way.
While the men and horses were walking, Wen Zhong's expression suddenly changed drastically. Shen Xin also felt murderous intent emerging around him, and he had a premonition of imminent death.
The birds in the forest fled in panic and scattered in all directions, as if they had encountered something terrible.
At this moment, a yellow flag fell across from them, and there was a person under the flag. It was none other than Guang Chengzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Taoyuan Cave in the Nine Immortals Mountain.
I saw him looking coldly ahead and blocking the road with his sword:
"This is not the road you should take, go back!"
Before he finished speaking, the majestic aura on his body rose into the sky, instantly shaking away the flowing clouds in the sky.
The Yin and Shang generals stopped in shock and looked ahead with great vigilance.
Huang Tianxiang's face turned even paler, and he whispered from the side: "Father, no, Xiqi actually had an ambush!"
But just when everyone else felt in danger, Shen Xin fell into ecstasy.
He seems to understand the plot in front of him. If nothing goes wrong, Jiang Ziya and Chanjiao Jinxian must have made the Heaven-reaching Divine Fire Pillar and want to burn us to death on Juelong Ridge.
Thinking of this, Shen Xin immediately felt relieved.
Stable, completely stable.
Although the current situation does not guarantee that he will die 100%, there is at least a 99.999% chance.
Coupled with his reputation for teaching, I am afraid it will be impossible to survive.
Shen Xin was in a very good mood now and once again sighed that Wen Zhong was his lucky star.
All of a sudden, I was faced with several dead ends. Before I even practiced this formation, I was about to encounter the Heaven-reaching Divine Fire Pillar.
Maybe I will be on the list to become a saint today.
Shen Xin hoped that his opponent would seize the time and make persistent efforts.
But at this time, Wen Zhong frowned, blocked Shen Xin, drove his mount forward and asked, "Guang Chengzi, what do you want here?"
Guangchengzi first glanced at Wen Zhong, then suddenly looked at the formation, and suddenly laughed:
"Shen Xin, it turns out you are here too!"
"It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort at all!"
"I have been waiting here for a long time. You are disobeying the destiny of heaven, supporting evil and destroying benevolence, causing harm to living beings, and harming the loyal and good. It is your own fault."
"I'm here now, and I won't be your enemy. I just don't allow you to cross Taohua Ridge. I just let you go elsewhere."
After hearing this, the Grand Master was furious and said: "Unfortunately for me, I will be defeated and will die; but what ability do you have to dare to leave Doctor Shen here?"
Then he was so angry that he urged Mo Qilin to drive away and beat him with a whip. Guangchengzi stepped forward, smiled coldly, and retaliated with a sword. The two sides fought for less than three or five rounds before Guangchengzi took out the Fantian Seal and offered it in the air.
When Wen Zhong saw it, he knew the advantages and disadvantages of Fantian Seal, so he had to turn Qilin to protect Shen Xin and look west before leaving.
But Shen Xin suddenly wasn't in a hurry at this moment, because he knew that the big one was still behind.
Anyway, once the Heaven-reaching Divine Fire Pillar comes out, there is no way for him to escape.
The generals around him couldn't help but sigh in their hearts when they saw that Dr. Shen could still be so calm at such a time.
The doctor is indeed the most admirable person in the world. In the face of such danger, he can still remain calm. He is indeed a role model for us.
On the other hand, Ji Li, the disciple next to Wen Zhong, asked hesitantly:
"Teacher, Guangchengzi must have had bad intentions here just now. Why don't we get through?"
Wen Zhong sighed and replied: "Guangchengzi Fantian Seal is an acquired spiritual treasure, we can't resist it. If you get this seal, if you don't have life, what should you do?"
"Let's avoid him. We can't cross this ridge now, but where are we going to protect Doctor Shen?"
Ji Li did not say much, but suggested: "If we go to Jiepai Pass, the veteran general Huang Gun, the commander of Jiepai Pass, still has tens of thousands of elite troops in his hands, which can solve the urgent need."
"Okay, let's go here."
After hearing this, Wen Zhong sighed helplessly, turned his troops and headed for the Jiepaiguan road.
The troops marched lightly and simply, but within half a day, they were no more than dozens of miles away from Jiepaiguan.
But at this moment, he suddenly looked up and saw a yellow flag erected on the road ahead, with a red flag standing under it.
Wen Zhong immediately urged Qilin to come forward. Chi Jingjing also laughed loudly and said: "Shen Xin, I heard that Zhong'er and others don't need to go to this boundary pass. This is not your place."
"I have been ordered by Teacher Ran Deng to stop you here and not allow you to enter the fifth level. Where you came from is where you are going."
When Wen Zhong was blocked again, he was so angry that the souls of the three corpses became violent. Smoke erupted from the seven orifices. He held his whip and shouted:
"Chi Jingjie, I am a member of the Jiejie Sect and we are always together, so why should you bully me too much! Even though I was defeated and fought to the death, I will definitely have a fight with you. How can I be willing to leave without permission!"
After saying that, he clamped the Qilin, spread his hooves, and used the golden whip to reveal the divine light.
Red sperm shakes his hemp shoes, swings his sword, and the two whip swords intersect. Before the combination of five and seven, Chi Jing took out the magic weapon Yin and Yang Mirror.
Grand Master Wen saw Chi Jingjie take out the Yin-Yang Mirror and knew that this treasure was powerful, so he had to sit down and knock the unicorn, jumped out of the circle, and pulled Shen Xin back.
When Chi Jingzhi saw this, he didn't come to catch up. He just laughed and looked like he was sure of victory.
When the Grand Master heard that he was blocked on both sides, he was so angry that his face turned yellow and he was panting, silent. Disciple Yu Qing next to him suggested:
"Teacher, since these two roads are not feasible, why not go to Huanghua Mountain and enter Qinglong Pass."
Wen Zhong pondered for a long time and could only say: "Well, it seems like this is the only way it can be today."
So Wen Zhong had to turn his troops back and headed towards Qinglongguan Road. Think carefully along the way. As the people and horses walked towards night, there was a high mountain in front of them, but the mountain scenery was desolate.
Wen Zhong looked at Dr. Shen in front of him and felt that he and the two of them were afraid that there would be no way to survive today.
But once both of them died, the country would be in danger, so he didn't feel sad, and he was not as open-minded as Shen Xin.
I can only recite poems and sigh:
"Looking back at the green mountains, we shed tears. It is even more tragic that the three armies are miserable."
"At that time, we only wanted to return to the army, but today we know that we are defeated and exhausted."
“It’s a shame that the weather is so unpredictable, it’s so shameful that human affairs are so unpredictable!”
"My eyes are like a dream, but I will never waver in my devotion to the country."
It is said that when I heard that the Grand Master had stopped writing poems, I felt restless. The three armies are making meals and preparing to take a short rest.
Unexpectedly, just as they rested, they heard loud noises and flags waving on the top of the mountain.
Wen Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to take a look and saw Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa drinking on horseback on the mountain. The generals on the left and right pointed their fingers in front and said with a smile:
"The letter is sinking at the bottom of the mountain. I heard that the Grand Master was defeated here." Wen Zhong heard that his nature was like a raging fire, so he got into Mo Qilin and came up the mountain with a whip to kill him. There was only a thunderclap and no one was seen.
Wen Zhongnai had divine eyes, and when he looked left and right, there was no trace of him. Gritting his teeth in anger and feeling deep hatred, Li Qi thought about it. Suddenly there was a shout from the bottom of the mountain, and people and horses gathered like a crowd and surrounded the bottom of the mountain. They only shouted, "Don't go away and hear the Grand Master!"
Hearing that Zhong was furious, he rode down the mountain and killed them. When they reached the bottom of the mountain, there was not a single soldier left in the army. Wen Zhong was panting unsteadily, and then he was about to do divination. He saw another shout from the top of the mountain. Jiang Ziya and King Wu Jifa clapped their hands and laughed and said:
"Chen Xin, I heard that both of you, Zhong, have the talent to govern and secure the country, but there are times when you are so heroic and short of breath."
"Today's defeat has cost all the heroes of the past several years. How can we return to Chaoge again?"
"As the saying goes, the King of Hell told you to die at the third watch, who dares to leave anyone alive until the fifth watch!"
After hearing this, Shen Xin also laughed in his heart: "The King of Hell told me to die on the third watch, and I will go there on the second watch."
"It's said that my destiny is up to me and not God."
