There is no sacrifice of three animals, no ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, everything is simple. This condition is even worse than when the Chu people stole cattle. Fortunately, he still had a golden finger, otherwise he would have been in trouble, so he used Zijue's golden finger to check.

"Open the newcomer gift package!"

[Human Level·Celestial Phenomenon·Heavy Rain (Things are planned by people and accomplished by the sky): A heavy rain can occur at a designated place and time. 】
When Zi Jue saw this celestial phenomenon, heavy rain, his heart suddenly moved, and a light flashed in his eyes. In ancient wars, the influence of time and place was simply too great, and could easily change the direction of the war. A heavy rain is enough to determine the success or failure of the war.
Immediately Zijue came to find Zhu.
"The pursuers of the Zhou Dynasty were approaching, and the soldiers were tired and unable to fight. Fortunately, God sent me a decree. It rained heavily not long ago. I led the people up the river. During the day, I used beacon smoke as a signal. At night, I used beacon fire as a signal. After receiving the signal, I dug out Open the Huai River and the water will flood the Zhou army."
Zhu was a little strange about Zijue's order. It was autumn and the weather was crisp. There would be no heavy rain. Even if the Huai River was dug, it would not be able to flood the Zhou army. It was completely in vain. But he could not refuse the king's order, so he selected five hundred people and headed upriver.
After Zhu Zhu took away 500 people, Zijue immediately used the reinforcement order. Since these soldiers were unusable, he could only use the 100 people provided by the system.
After Wang Jue used the reinforcement order, he quickly saw Dan walking over in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, there is a group of 100 soldiers asking to see you. They are the lost soldiers of our dying country."
"Invite them over quickly!" Zijue said happily.
Soon I saw a group of majestic men walking over. These men were all wearing leather armor and bronze jackets. It was obvious at a glance that they were elite troops. After seeing Zijue, these soldiers quickly knelt down and saluted.
"I may have arrived a step late. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Get up quickly." Zijue stepped forward and helped him up.
"It's not too late. At this critical moment, we need the help of warriors!"
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" Yi asked directly.
"You go and lead those soldiers, and then you have to fight the Zhou people!"
Zijue did not trust the defeated soldiers. After he had his own men, he immediately arranged for them to take over. With these 100 reinforcements, the soldiers could control the demoralized soldiers without any problem.
Immediately afterwards, Zijue took out some grain and gave everyone a good meal. Geng, who had gone to borrow a boat from the Huaiyi tribe, also came back. Huaiyi had agreed to lend them a boat. After a good meal, everyone quickly boarded the boat to cross the river.
With Huaiyi's ships and the rafts Zijue had people cut and build, it took about an afternoon for four thousand old and weak soldiers to successfully cross the Huaihe River.
...
Since Dazai captured Amancheng, Fang countries that supported the Yin Shang surrendered one after another. Only some Yin Shang survivors fled in all directions. Some of the Yin Shang survivors fled to the east coast, and the other part went south to Huaisi.
Dazai did not let these people go. Except for leaving a part of the army to guard Amancheng, the rest of the army joined the armies of the Zhou Dynasty princes and continued to pursue them.
The Eastern Expedition has come to an end, and a large number of Yin and Shang kingdoms have been exterminated. News has come out that King Cheng is preparing to enfeoff a group of princes. The fiefdom is in the homeland of the Yin Shang. If you want to get rewards, you must seize every opportunity to make meritorious deeds. .
"General, we have found those businessmen. They are crossing the Huaihe River!" A soldier came to report excitedly.
"Huai River?" Shan was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly ordered: "The three armies listened to the order and immediately set off for Huai River to capture and kill the rebels. Everyone will be rewarded!"
The order was given and the army immediately took action.
...
The continuous defeats made these Yin and Shang remnants frightened. When they heard that the Zhou Dynasty army was coming, they immediately panicked. Fortunately, Zijue had already taken control of the army. With the army to maintain it, the situation was finally stabilized. .
Zijue knew that if he kept running away, this Yin Shang remnant would soon collapse and be destroyed. If he wanted to re-establish the country, he had to control these people, so he had to give these people confidence.
So what could be more uniting than a hearty victory?
Zijue asked the old and weak to hide in the rear, and he personally led 600 soldiers to form an array on the south bank of the Huai River.
On the north bank of the Huai River, banners are flying, and the army of Zhou Dynasty stretches for several miles. As the saying goes, once there are more than 10,000 people, there is no limit. Tens of thousands of troops gathered in the north of the Huai River. Even though they were across the river, it still made people feel more stressed. After all, the Huai River was not a natural barrier to the Yangtze River.
Seeing the boundless army across the Huai River, these soldiers who had become frightened birds were extremely frightened. Their legs were shaking and their faces were pale. If it hadn't been for the hundred men summoned by the reinforcement order, these soldiers would have dispersed like birds and beasts.
When the army of Bangzhou saw that Zijue was only 600 men in formation, they burst into laughter, pointed to the other side of the Huaihe River and shouted to the left and right:
"A mere few hundred remnant soldiers, instead of surrendering to the Heavenly Soldiers of our country, they dared to resist when they saw the Zhou Heavenly Soldiers? The 20,000-strong army of the Yan Kingdom was defeated. What is the use of these hundreds of remnant soldiers? They are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. Once the Heavenly Soldiers arrive, Kill them all!"
"The Yin thieves offended the king and tried to rebel against the destiny of heaven. Little did they know that the destiny of the Zhou Dynasty was in the Zhou Dynasty. All those who rebelled will be punished. Now, warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, take up your weapons and destroy the Yin thieves! We will live forever!"
"Destroy the Yin thieves! The kingdom will last forever!"
"Destroy the Yin thieves! The kingdom will last forever!"
The army marched fifty miles in a hurry and came to the bank of the Huai River. Because he was eager to capture the remaining soldiers of the Yin Shang Dynasty, Shan Bo couldn't wait to cross the river. But Uncle Shan's approach played into Zi Jue's favour.
Although it was autumn, the water flow in the Huai River was much less than in summer, but it was still wide. Zhou Jun immediately divided his men, felled wood, made boats, and began to cross the river. As for the six hundred remnant soldiers on the other side of the river, not only Shan Hou, but also ordinary Zhou soldiers did not take them seriously.
It's only six hundred, and it's easy to break.
...
Seeing the arrival of Bangzhou's army, the darkness was overwhelming, and the remaining soldiers were defeated and the two groups fought. If Zijue hadn't led the hundred people, these people would have fled in all directions on the spot, which was not possible. In this state, these people would probably turn around and run away as soon as the Zhou army arrived.
Thinking of this, Zijue immediately brought Yi to the crowd.
"What's your name?" Zijue asked a soldier with a childish expression. This soldier looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old at most.
"feather."
"What a good name." Zijue said gently, "Are you scared?"
"No... not afraid!" The child's face was pale and his lips were trembling, but he still gritted his teeth and shouted in victory, with a hint of trembling in his childish voice.
Zijue reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "It's not shameful to be afraid, and I'm afraid too."
Hearing this, Yu's expression was very shocked, thinking that Zijue was comforting him, and even the soldiers around him were surprised.
Zijue looked around and then shouted loudly: "But is fear useful? Will those Zhou soldiers spare us if we are afraid?"
There was silence in the military formation of hundreds of people. Zijue's words were like ice, tearing all their illusions into pieces.
Seeing everyone sinking into silence, Zijue shouted again.
"Five years ago, during the Battle of Makino, Bang Zhou destroyed our home and turned our people into refugees!"
"But they can't make us surrender!"
"Everything we endure will make us more united, stronger and more determined."
"Three years ago, Wu Geng was defeated in the hometown of Yin and Shang Dynasties. We lost many relatives and friends!"
"The country is destroyed and we have lost our last home!"
"Today, on the banks of the Huai River, the Zhou army has arrived again. Behind them are our wives, children, and children. Where can we retreat?"
"There is no way out!"
"People of the country, we have no way out!"
"Today, I am here with all of you to fight to the death!"
"When the battle begins, it's time to fight to the death! If the army ignores the army and retreats first, behead it; if the army ignores the army and retreats first, the rear team will behead the front team! I am alone at the front of the battle formation. If I retreat alone, please behead my head!"
"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" Yi quickly dissuaded him after hearing this, and the surrounding soldiers also dissuaded him.
"Clang!" Zijue instantly drew out his bronze sword and shouted sternly: "Shut up! I have made up my mind. Anyone who dares to speak out again will be dealt with according to military law!"
"Yes!" Seeing Zijue like this, no one dared to stop him.
Then Zi Jue looked at the remnant soldiers in front of him, and shouted loudly: "The three armies obey the order. If the age is less than 16 years old, go out. If the father and son are both in the army, the son will go out. If the brothers are both in the army, the younger brother will go out!"
As the voice fell, dozens of teenagers with childish expressions on their faces walked out of the array.
After looking at them, Zijue continued: "Those who have come out will stay at the military camp. Those who have not come out, please listen to my order! Let's go!"
"Your Majesty." At this moment, a person suddenly rushed in front of Zijue, knelt on his knees and said: "Your Majesty, please let me accompany you to protect you!"
Zijue quickly helped him up. This person was Yu who had just heard that Zhou's pursuers were coming and his face turned pale with fright.
"Yu, you are under sixteen years old, stay in the camp!"
"Your Majesty is the one who leads the troops, how dare your subordinates live in vain? Please allow your Majesty to let your subordinates go out with the army!" Before he finished speaking, dozens of people around him who had just emerged from the queue knelt down and worshiped Zijue.
"Everyone, please rise. The Yin Shang Dynasty has fallen, the country has been destroyed, and the pursuers are coming. We want to fight to the death, but there is no one to protect our families in the rear. You are either young and weak, or your father and brother are here and have already been loyal. Today we will You are staying here to take care of your family in the rear. If we come back and your family has any problems, let me ask you!"
After saying that, without waiting for his reply, he led people directly to the battlefield.
Seeing Zijue like this, the morale of the army was greatly boosted. At this moment, all the soldiers had a determination to die in their hearts, and their eyes towards Zhou Jun became more determined.
...
On the other side of the Huaihe River, the Zhou army was ready to cross the river.
A large number of rafts were soon pushed into the water, and dozens or hundreds of rafts began to cross the river. The Zhou people originated from Qishan and were good at herding horses, but not good at boating. Therefore, hundreds of rafts could not move forward at the same time, and many even drifted downstream.
However, the morale of the Zhou army was high and they did not take this to heart. Soon the first batch of Zhou troops came ashore.
Seeing the Zhou troops that had just landed on the shore, their formations were scattered and their numbers were small. Zijue took the lead and led a group of troops to fight. The Zhou army had just landed ashore and had not yet gained a firm foothold and reorganized their formation when they ran into the soldiers led by Zi Jue and Yi.
These soldiers were well-trained, and with the cooperation of the battle formation, it was impossible for the hastily prepared Zhou army to resist. In the battle formation, personal bravery is important, but what is more important is training well and teamwork in the battle formation.
One side is waiting for work, and the battle formation is neat, while the other side's formation is scattered and the body is exhausted. The result is self-evident. As soon as they made contact, Bangzhou's soldiers were defeated one after another, but most of them were killed in a blink of an eye, and the rest were pushed into the Huai River. The Huai River was so wide that these people sank in it in just a moment.
Fighting across a river has never been a simple matter. The foothold is not stable and the enemy is half-crossed. These familiar methods do not require much, not to mention that in order to pursue, the Zhou army marched fifty miles in a hurry, without even eating, and directly cut down trees to make boats to cross the river to attack.
If the Zhou army generals had been more cautious, rested, or attacked in multiple directions, the war would have been more variable, but Shan Hou had been dazzled by the temptation of feuding and founding a country, and launched an attack directly.
If everything goes well and morale is high, they will naturally be defeated in one fell swoop, but if they fail to do so, they will be defeated in an instant.
I saw the Zhou army crossing the river on rafts in a scattered manner, without any order at all. Seeing Zhou Jun like this, Zijue immediately felt relieved. He immediately shouted to the soldiers around him: "Everyone, today is the day to defeat the enemy! Charge with me!"
Zijue took the lead and rushed forward with hundreds of soldiers, while Yi led several soldiers to guard him closely.
Zijue's body is completely different from the abandoned house in his previous life. This body can be said to be ridiculously strong. The heavy bronze sword is like a straw in his hand. His strength of up to 81 has greatly increased his strength. Although he can't be the enemy of ten thousand people like Xiang Yu, he can still be the enemy of five hundred people.
Zijue's bronze sword swept across, the sharp sound of breaking wind stung the eardrums, and a muffled sound came. The Bangzhou soldier who had just raised his shield was knocked to the ground by the huge force, and then he was killed with another sword. . Seeing Zijue's bravery, the morale of these soldiers was high.
Originally, these Bangzhou soldiers were not prepared, but they were defeated faster now, and most of them were killed like melons and vegetables. For a time, the south bank of the Huaihe River flowed into a river of blood.
Soon, the first batch of 500 people who crossed the river were pushed back, except for 30% who were killed. There were countless casualties in a while, the Huai River was dyed red, and the corpses of Zhou Jun were floating on the Huai River.
Hundreds of Zhou troops were wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour. Seeing this, Dan Hou looked extremely ugly. He finally realized that the Yin Shang troops on the other side of the river were not simply defeated. It was probably a big fish.
Immediately, he was ready to send people to cut down trees and make boats again, and continue the attack.
Just when he was about to order people to cross the river from upstream and downstream at the same time, the deputy general next to him quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
"Dan Hou, our army came here from far away. We were defeated for a while, and our morale was already low. We marched 50 miles in a hurry, and we didn't take in any food. All the boats were lost. The other side was waiting for work. If we cut down more wood to make boats, I'm afraid the war would be unfavorable, and it's getting late. I How can I cross the river if I don't know how to use the boat?"
After Dan Hou heard this, he looked up at the sky. At this time, it would be completely dark in the western border of Jinwu for half an hour at most. Knowing that he could no longer cross the river today, he had to arrange for his men to set up camp and prepare to make a strong effort tomorrow to clear out the group of Yin people. All the remaining Shang people were killed.
On the south bank of the Huai River, the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties were very happy to see the Zhou army defeated. It can be said that after this battle, Zi Jue has won the support of these people.
After seeing the Zhou army encamped and no longer attacking, Zijue breathed a sigh of relief. Everything went according to his plan. He immediately opened the system and chose to use the [Heavy Rain Card].
Thirty miles upstream of the Huai River from the battlefield, after a day of excavation, 'Zhu' was ready.
Zijue chose to rain heavy rain forty miles away from here. The duration was extended to one day at most, the rainfall was also the largest, and the rainfall range was twenty miles in radius. This is also the largest rainfall range after Zijue adjusted the rainfall amount and time to the maximum.
After Zijue chose to use the rainstorm card, the sky was clear on the upper reaches of the Huai River. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up from the ground, and then dark clouds gathered. But in the blink of an eye, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the sky was filled with darkness, and the next second it started pouring. The rain fell heavily.
'Zhu' and everyone looked at the sudden heavy rain in front of them with their mouths open. The rain was shockingly heavy. In just a moment, water began to gather on the ground and flowed into the Huaihe River. What is even more surprising is that just After a distance of about fifty steps, there wasn't even a drop of rain here!
When everyone saw such a strange scene, they immediately realized that this was God's help, and everyone's morale was immediately boosted. This was destiny.
Soon as night fell, Zijue summoned the remaining people of the Yin Shang Dynasty and asked them to lift all the rafts and boats to a high place. Everyone also gathered on high ground.
Zijue called everyone together and said to them: "A natural black bird descended to give birth to Shang. The Western Zhou Dynasty was despicable. They took advantage of my army to march eastward and destroyed my homeland. I have received instructions from heaven. There will be heavy rain in the upper reaches of the Huai River tonight. When the Huai River bursts, this battle will be won!"
After hearing Zijue's words, everyone was doubtful. Zijue saw it in his eyes and did not say anything. He just asked people to be careful to avoid being washed away by the flood.
Sure enough, not long after, news came from Zhujiang, which was arranged by Wang Jue upstream, that there was heavy rain and the Huaihe River was visibly rising. There was so much rain that even the oldest person had never seen such heavy rain. What was even more surprising was that not even a drop of rain fell only thirty miles upstream.
Among the remaining people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, everyone realized that God had really sent down heavy rain to help the army, and the already high morale immediately rose to the extreme. Everyone believed that the king of the country, Zi Jue, was favored by God, which was his destiny, and God did not give up. them
How could such a heavy rain be explained without the help of God?
——
In the third year of King Wu's reign, Wu Geng was defeated and King Jue was in trouble in the Huaihe River. When the Zhou army arrived, King Jue remained calm in the face of danger and took the lead. The Yin people's morale was strong and they attacked halfway across the river, but the Zhou army had no success. At night, heavy rain poured down, and King Jue dug into the Huaihe River. The water flooded the Zhou army, and the Zhou army was defeated. This was not destiny. ——"Historical Records·Yin Ji"
