North Sea.
Chongzhou is a hundred miles outside the city.
A mighty army came from Xiqi and crossed the world!
The army was dusty, and everyone had a look of exhaustion in their eyes.
but.
When they thought that this was their lord's personal expedition in armor, the tiredness disappeared from their eyes.
not to mention!
The Lord's divination indicates that this battle is a superior divination.
Good luck!
All the soldiers believed in it.
Chinese army.
A carriage without a treasure chest was slowly moving forward.
In front of the car.
Nangong Shi, Ji Fa and Ji Dan rode on horseback to the left and right.
At this time, a scout rode back and came to the carriage without a shaft. He dismounted and knelt down and said:
"Lord, there is nothing abnormal ahead."
Ji Chang lifted the car curtain, looked in the direction of Chongzhou, and said:
"The rebels fought all the way from Beihai to Chongzhou. After many battles, their momentum must have been exhausted."
"Chongzhou City is the fiefdom of Bei Bohou Chonghou Hu, and his younger brother Chong Heihu is possessed of special powers. It is impossible for the rebels to defeat him so quickly."
"When we arrive, we will attack Bei Bohou from inside and outside, and we will be able to easily defeat the rebels."
Nangong Shi heard the words and responded quickly, saying:
"What my lord said is absolutely true."
Ji Chang said again:
"If I win this battle, my reputation will greatly increase, and I may be in danger of shocking my master with my great achievements."
"I heard that there are many beauties in Beihai. You can select a few and send them to Chao Ge to show my loyalty."
Nangong Shi nodded again and said:
"What my lord said is absolutely true."
Unexpectedly, just as Ji Chang finished speaking, war horses suddenly neighed in front of him, and the sound of fighting resounded!
"There's a trap!!"
"It's a trap! Save me!"
"There are still trip wires! Disperse quickly! Disperse!"
Suddenly, the army screamed continuously, and the troops and horses of the first phalanx became chaotic for a while.
Ji Chang's heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly:
"General, go and see what happened to the front army."
"Wait a minute, I will go in person!"
Ji Chang sat in the Qixiang Car, and under the care of Nangong Shi and Ji Fa, he went straight to the front army
Ji Chang opened the curtain and found that many deep pits suddenly appeared on the plain. Hidden stakes were driven into the flat ground and hundreds of tripping ropes were tied across the front.
The horse trap was filled with sharp wooden stakes, and the men and horses trapped in it died tragically.
Nangong Shi hurriedly stabilized the army and counted the wounded.
Ji Chang frowned and thought deeply.
How could there be an ambush here?
Where did the army come from!
Who knows, before he could figure it out, dust and smoke were rising from all directions, war drums were beating, and unknown horns were sounding, making people excited! ! !
In the dust and smoke, nameless armies covered in green branches rushed out screaming!
"Protect the Marquis!"
Nangong Shi was shocked and found that Ji Chang had driven into the Chinese army, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"kill!!"
"Chongzhou has been defeated!! You are a helpless army, surrender quickly!"
"Fu Tong dies, King Yi of Ren Yi!"
"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!"
These teams that appeared out of nowhere shouted incomprehensible slogans and caught the Xiqi army by surprise.
Moreover, what they were holding turned out to be Dashang's black iron weapons.
After a confrontation, Xiqi suffered heavy injuries.
Nangong Shi quickly ordered the entire army to change their formation, from a straight line during the march to a shield shape with both offense and defense!
After going through the battle formation, Xiqi's army quickly stabilized the situation.
At this time, they were shocked to find that this seemingly overwhelming army only had more than 10,000 people...
Behind them, someone was deliberately shaking branches, beating drums and blowing trumpets, pretending to be a hundred thousand troops.
"Leave a few alive and kill the rest!"
Nangong Shi was furious. He had never fought such a frustrating battle.
There were 100,000 people among them, but 10,000 people came knocking on their door.
Who would have thought... He had just ordered a counterattack, and the army suddenly galloped away on horseback, running away cleanly, leaving only the generals of Xiqi looking at each other.
"This should be the rebel team. In order to prevent us from joining forces with Bei Bohou, they disguised themselves as a large army and came here to attack the camp."
Seeing the rebels fleeing, Ji Chang drove to the front of the formation and spoke.
"Ignore them and keep marching."
"The more anxious the rebels are, the more they show their lack of confidence, and the war ahead will definitely be stalemate."
Nangong Shi took the order, increased the number of scouts, and assigned a phalanx to deal with the harassment of the rebels.
"Move ahead!"
"Hurry to Chongzhou!"
Xiqi's army suddenly galloped away and quickly disappeared on the plain.
The Xiqi army left not long ago.
In the nearby forest, a group of military horses slowly gathered. One of them rode lazily on the horse, looking at the Xiqi military horses heading north, and said:
"Mission accomplished, let's go chase General Lu."
"Next, there are five more attacks waiting for them."
After the man finished speaking, he galloped his horse and led the team towards Xiqi from the other side of Chongshan Mountain.
Not far in front of them, an army finally took shape, like a giant beast, walking in the mountains and forests.
Target, Xiqi City.
…
The next day.
Outside Chongzhou City.
The army that had been in ruins emerged from the end of the mountains in the distance.
They looked at the Chongzhou City Wall that appeared in front of them and cheered loudly with excitement.
"Lord, Chongzhou City has arrived!"
Nangong Shi rode a lame war horse and limped to the Qixiang chariot that was covered with traces of gunpowder.
Ji Chang stretched out his head timidly, stroking half of his burnt white beard, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said:
"Still proceed with caution."
"The rebels spared no effort and did anything to hold us back!"
Nangong Shi was also frightened. He held Chang Ying's helmet with its tassel cut off and said angrily:
"This group of thieves stole so many black iron weapons from nowhere, as well as a large amount of gunpowder and the everlasting black river water!"
"What's even more hateful is that they are like gangrenous gangrenes. They run away when we hit them, and they chase after us when we leave. It's really... shameless!"
"Old minister... I have never seen such a shameless person!"
"Fortunately, my lord was wise and bypassed the official road and marched through the mountains."
"Otherwise... we don't know when we can get to Chongzhou."
Ji Chang sighed and said:
"If I hadn't been protected by the Qixiang chariot, I would have been blown to pieces."
Then, he glanced at Erzi Jifa who was moaning in the car.
The second son of Xiqi, his left leg was tied to a wooden board, and his right arm was wrapped in linen cloth. His whole body was sluggish.
"Hey. Fa'er, I can't help you. I shouldn't have let you rush in front of the battle and have your legs blown off by the rebels' gunpowder."
Ji Fa groaned and said:
"The child volunteered to charge into the battle, what does it have to do with his father?"
Opposite Ji Fa, Ji Dan said harshly:
"The rebels thought they could stop our Xiqi army by setting some traps. What a wishful thinking!"
"Foolish brother will lead the army to join forces with Bei Bohou to completely annihilate these rebels and avenge my brother!"
Ji Chang was very pleased to see the harmony between the two brothers and said:
"Chongzhou City is right in front of you. General Nangong gives the order to rush and kill."
Nangong Shi quickly took the order, changed his horse, drew out his Xiqi sword, and shouted:
"All officers and men obey orders!"
"Gather your troops and horses, and charge into the enemy's formation together! Relieve Chongzhou from the siege!!"
Roar! ! !
The army had been harassed continuously for a day and night, and they were already furious. They drew out their swords and prepared to vent their anger.
Who knows.
As soon as they rushed down the mountain, they realized something was wrong, and the shouting stopped suddenly, like a duck being pinched by the neck.
"quack……"
Nangong Shi was dumbfounded, brewing up a bunch of words to inspire the soldiers and holding them in his heart.
In front of the army.
The mountains are stepping on the ground and the ground is sinking.
The land for dozens of miles was soaked in blood, and the ground was littered with the severed limbs of wild beasts.
but……
When they looked around, there was no sign of any rebels.
The 100,000-strong army suddenly shut down, and a mouthful of old blood that had been suppressed for a long time was suffocated in his heart, almost suffocating.
"Where are the rebels?"
"Shouldn't they... be attacking Chongzhou?"
"Yes, the information we received does say so."
At this time, a scout quietly retreated from the army and disappeared into the jungle.
Ji Chang frowned.
The hexagram shows that this battle is the superior hexagram.
Could it be that we have already lost without fighting the rebels?
At this time, he took out the innate tortoise shell again and sprinkled it in front of the car.
"puff!!"
This time, Ji Chang vomited blood, and his whole body instantly looked much older. His eyes were dull and he murmured to himself:
"Xiaxia Gua... If a ghost lurks in the world, he will be jailed."
"How could this be?"
"Why do the hexagrams change drastically?"
Before Xibohou finished speaking, he suddenly saw a group of troops and horses filing out from Chongzhou City. The Chong clan's war flag was flying in front of the army and horses formation!
In the surrounding valleys, there are also Chong clan's battle flags peeking out.
hiss……
Is the friendly troops welcoming such a grand scene?
Seeing the Chong clan's battle flag, the Xiqi soldiers relaxed their vigilance.
My heart is filled with joy.
at this time.
A black shadow jumped down from the Chongzhou city wall, like a giant bird flying across the sky!
boom! !
This black shadow is like a falling star falling in front of Xiqi Formation!
The ground trembled, dust and smoke rose everywhere, and in the center of the sunken ground, a giant man several feet tall slowly walked out.
His beard and hair are all white, and he looks old, but he is like a hill, blocking half of the sky.
A figure stood on the muscular shoulders of the giant man. He looked coldly at Ji Chang at his feet and said:
"Xibo Hou Jichang, do you know your guilt?"
