In the evening, the merchant army retreated all the way to a mountain col.

Hearing that Grand Master was riding on Mo Qilin, he squinted his eyes and looked at the mountain col, and asked Xin Huan at the side, "Xin Huan, where is this place?"

Xin Huan cupped his hands and said: "Back to the Grand Master, ahead is Crouching Tiger Ridge, which is three hundred and thirty miles away from Sishui Pass."

Huanghua Mountain is near Wuguan. He was a bandit from Xinhuan and often robbed passing merchants. He knew the terrain within a radius of several hundred miles quite clearly, so he recognized the mountain in front of him at a glance.

Of course, the main reason is that Crouching Tiger Ridge is more vivid. The entire mountain looks like a tiger lying on the ground.

"The commander ordered us to set up camp at Wohu Ridge."

"Here."

Xin Huan waved his wings, rose up in the air, and flew towards the front army. Deng Zhong and Yu Qing personally guarded the food and grass, so they walked in front of the army. He was the first to tell them Wen Taishi's command.

Fairy Caiyun said: "Brother Wen, Jiang Ziya is holding on behind us. If we set up camp at this time, we won't be afraid of him taking the opportunity to make a sneak attack."

The army worships the strong. There are more than 100,000 people in the camp. Apart from Master Wen and Fairy Caiyun, they are the strongest. It is understandable that they respect themselves.

After all, the opponent he faced this time was an unusual one. He was Jiang Ziya. He had many capable men, and a small mountain col couldn't stop him.

At first, Deng Zhong was a little uncomfortable with it. After all, Yu Qing was a disciple of Master Wen. He had been in the army for more than ten years and his qualifications were far superior to his own. If he called himself this, what would Master Wen think?

After several warnings, Yu Qing still went his own way. Even Ji Li called him that, and Deng Zhong got used to it.

Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and smiled, thinking: "Huang Feihu is a wonderful man."

Wen Taishi said: "Then we will fight a war of attrition with him. Our army has enough food and grass to last the army for half a year. Jiang Ziya can't besiege us for half a year."

After Deng Zhong took over the post of grain inspector, he applied to Master Wen to mobilize two thousand elite troops to defend the rear camp day and night. Not only that, in order to ensure the army's food and grass, he stored hundreds of thousands of stones of grain in two batches.

Nezha said angrily: "Uncle Jiang, I heard that the Grand Master obviously doesn't take us seriously. Please give me 10,000 elite soldiers. I will lead my men to rush up the mountain and kill them all."

When Fairy Caiyun heard this, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Taoist Cihang was afraid, there was still some hope that she and Master Wen could escape from Xiqi territory.

Jiang Ziya glanced at him and said: "King Wu Cheng, what is the purpose of hearing that the Grand Master defended based on this?"

Huang Feihu said: "I heard that the Grand Master is a famous general in the world. He used to win every battle and was known as the Optimus Prime of Great Shang. But after coming to Xiqi, he met the Prime Minister and the myth of invincibility was broken. Now the great Shang is about to run out.

, his Optimus Prime is about to collapse, how can he be compared with the Prime Minister."

Nezha said: "Uncle Jiang, you are resourceful and resourceful. It is enough for you to use your brain."

Ran Deng has set up a dragnet, and Jiang Ziya plays an important role in it. It doesn't matter if he delays for a few days, but if there is no action for a month or two, how can he explain to Ran Deng.

Jiang Ziya always considered his words carefully.

"It's a good idea to stick around and wait for help."

Jiang Ziya said: "Nezha, fighting is not just about rushing and killing. Sometimes you have to use your brain."

Wen Taishi said: "Fellow Taoist, I have given you the award."

"Brother Deng, are you too careful? There has been no movement in the enemy camp these days."

…

Fairy Caiyun did not understand this aspect at all, so she could only humbly ask Master Wen for advice.

Now a great calamity is approaching, and the Twelve Golden Immortals are committing murder calamity again. They are worried about how to eliminate the calamity and lay a good foundation for attaining the great path in the future. At this time, they interfere privately in the mortal battlefield. If they are entangled in karma, the consequences will definitely not be the same as Tai Yi Jin's.

What immortals can bear.

Fairy Caiyun suddenly realized and said: "So that's it. Brother Wen's military use is unparalleled by anyone in the world."

Among the generals, Nezha has the most personality. He can solve problems with his fists and never talks nonsense.

Huang Feihu stepped forward on his horse and said: "Prime Minister Jiang, I heard that the Grand Master chose this position to defend, because he wanted to take advantage of the terrain to fight a protracted battle with our army. Now that their camp is not safe, if we launch an attack, we will at least have

50% chance of winning.”

The advantage of this is that if one party loses, the other party can still preserve it.

Since Deng Zhong rescued Fairy Caiyun and killed Xiqi General Xin Jia, his status in the army has risen a lot. Even Yu Qing still respects him and calls him Brother Deng.

Yu Qing said: "Okay, then I will go on patrol again."

Therefore, Deng Zhong made a bet that Jiang Ziya would definitely take action and attack the rear camp if there were only a few more peaceful days like this.

Xiqi's army had an advantage in strength. On the offensive, Master Wen had no chance of winning, but on defense, he was 90% confident that he could hold his position.

Anyone who can become a Taiyi Golden Immortal is not stupid, unless Taoist Cihang has no future and wants to destroy himself.

Deng Zhong said: "General Yu, be careful of the Wannian Ship."

Jiang Ziya smiled and said: "King Wu Cheng, use your troops together. How does this commander compare to Master Wen?"

Fairy Caiyun sighed: "I'm afraid Taoist Cihang won't stand idly by."

"I heard that the grand master knew that there were pursuers, but he camped here. He is worthy of being a famous general in the world."

Besides, Jiang Ziya needed to get rid of Grand Master Wen, increase his prestige, and make the princes of the world fall in line, thus sounding the death knell for the destruction of Zhou and Shang.

Huang Feihu said: "The Prime Minister is wise."

But this time, Jiang Ziya had already planned, and said: "Injure the enemy by one thousand, and you will lose eight hundred. I heard that the grand master wants to defend, so just let him defend. The army has chased all the way, and everyone is very tired. Let's rest for a few days."

.”

Deng Zhong said: "General Yu is here."

Wen Taishi said: "Fellow Taoist, don't be anxious. This is a battlefield in the human world. His Taoist Cihang is a great immortal with a long history. Even if he is very determined to destroy us, I don't dare to act recklessly."

Wen Taishi smiled and said: "My Taoist friends only know one thing, but not the other. I ordered the army to camp at a high place to defend according to the terrain and wait for work. If Jiang Ziya dares to attack my camp, I will make him pay a heavy price!"

"

Fairy Caiyun said: "Brother Wen, if Jiang Ziya doesn't come to attack."

The merchant army was busy setting up camp in Wohu Ridge, and Jiang Ziya arrived with his army.

Jiang Ziya glared at him and ordered: "Pass this command to the entire army to retreat ten miles and set up camp."

Huang Feihu is the son of a general. He has been trained in the military camp since he was a child. As an adult, he has fought in countless battles. In Dashang, he is a famous general. After joining the Xiqi Group, he is one of the few talents with both civil and military skills.

…

Huang Feihu thought for a moment and said, "The general thinks he is holding back and waiting for help."

Yu Qing has always been responsible for patrolling, while Deng Zhong stayed in the tent and sat in the rear camp. Once there was an enemy attack, he could respond quickly and protect the food and grass.

Yu Qing said, "Brother Deng, don't be polite to me. I'll ask you for martial arts lessons when I have time."

"no problem."

Deng Zhong agreed wholeheartedly, but of course, the premise was that Yu Qing could survive the sneak attack by the Xiqi Army.
