The Shang army retreated, and the surviving Xiqi army breathed a sigh of relief. Some collapsed on the ground and wiped the sweat from their heads. Some mourned their dead relatives and cried loudly while holding their remains. Some were licking silently.

Licking their wounds…

The city wall was covered with devastation, filled with a chilling and miserable anger, and a drizzle of rain suddenly fell from the sky, adding a bit of sadness to the city.

Jiang Ziya's gloomy face made people count casualties.

Yang Jian and others all looked sad. They had suffered several defeats at the hands of Grand Master Wen before, but they did not expect it to be so miserable this time. If several fellow disciples had not joined in at the critical moment, the consequences would have been disastrous if Dongcheng was breached at this moment.

"Prime Minister, nearly 20,000 of our troops were killed in this battle, including eight senior generals and fifty-six middle and low-ranking captains. More than 10,000 were injured, and 30% of them will never be able to go to the battlefield again.

This is the number that Nangong Shi spent half an hour to calculate. More than a dozen of his highnesses defended the city, and three people were killed. Even a god general like Nezha was torn into pieces. He couldn't help but feel lucky that he was lucky enough to be able to do so.

Survive the battlefield.

When the generals heard this, they were shocked.

Jiang Ziya glanced around at the generals, gritted his teeth and said: "As a defender of the city, we have suffered such heavy casualties in just two hours. It is a shame, a shame and a great humiliation!"

This war was too fierce. Both sides were fighting for their lives, and the nephews were entangled by the enemy generals and could not play a greater role on the battlefield, which was why they suffered such huge losses.

Fortunately, Xiqi City was defended, otherwise I would not be able to explain to my master, and I would become a sinner for the ages.

A strange look flashed across the faces of Li Jing and others. It has never been the case since ancient times for a son to attack his father. However, when King Zhou killed his wife and his son, he completely ignored human relations. Yin Jiao and Yin Hong joined Xiqi to help Jiang Ziya conquer Shang Zhou.

It makes sense.

All the generals said in unison: "We are incompetent, please ask Uncle Master (Prime Minister) to punish us."

Today, he could have injured Jin Dasheng, but unfortunately the enemy blew the horn of retreat and missed this opportunity. Wei Hu didn't care about the credit, he just wanted to finish the business of conquering merchants as soon as possible and return to the mountain to practice.

Originally, in this battle, Deng Zhong did not attack the city. He could have done a lot on the battlefield, but unfortunately he met Yuan Hong. The two fought for hundreds of rounds, from the top of the city to the bottom of the city, and even used his magical powers. Yang Jian

With his divine eyes, he had a slight upper hand, but it was just an upper hand. He could neither kill Yuan Hong nor capture him.

Jiang Ziya said to Yang Jian: "Yang Jian, please send Nezha's body to Qianyuan Mountain and hand it over to Master Taiyi."

Jiang Ziya said: "What is the use of my punishment for your crimes? Can I revive the soldiers who died in the battle?"

"Thank you, uncle."

Yang Jian found a rope from the top of the city, tied up Nezha's body, and escaped using the soil.

This shows that Deng Zhong has obtained the command of the army. After this battle, his prestige will definitely surpass that of Deng Jiugong.

Jiang Ziya said: "That said, King Zhou is your father after all. Blood is thicker than water. This world is the country of Chengtang family. You really can be ruthless and help me overthrow Chengtang Jiangshan and send your father to death."

The king is on his way."

Jiang Ziya was startled and asked: "Your surname is Yin. Back then, the two highnesses of King Zhou were blown away by the wind. What is your relationship with him?"

Nangong Shi cupped his hands and said: "The last general takes orders."

Yin Jiao said: "Disciple Yin Jiao came down the mountain on the orders of his master, Guang Chengzi."

In this battle, the two sides ended up in a draw. The Xiqi side suffered heavy losses, and the merchant army, as the attacking side, must have suffered a lot. But Jiang Ziya knew that he had lost, and he had already used all the troops in the city.

Even the palace guards were mobilized to defend the city, but Deng Zhong never sent the 30,000 troops behind him to the battlefield.

The two fought for nearly two hours. When they heard the sound of the horn, Yuan Hong left him alone and left.

Jiang Ziya sighed: "Nangong Shi, take people to clean the battlefield."

Wei Hu cupped his hands and said, "Disciple Wei Hu is a disciple of Daoxing Tianzun."

The two most powerful vanguards under his command, Huang Tianhua, died in the enemy camp more than half a month ago. Now even Nezha has been beheaded. The body was broken into several pieces, all of which were lotus roots. Even if Taiyi Zhenren could sew the body together, it would still be impossible.

It's useless, after all, Nezha's soul has already been on the list.

Before, Jiang Ziya had always thought that it was difficult to defeat the right path and easy to defeat the generals, but the appearance of Deng Zhong made him realize that his idea was too arbitrary.

Jiang Ziya exclaimed in admiration. Although Muzha, Nezha and Longxuhu were dead, the addition of these three nephews made up for the lack of personnel. This can be regarded as a good thing among many bad things.

In addition, in such a battle, Grand Master Wen did not appear on the battlefield. It can only be said that he stayed in the big place to recover, or that he was not in Xiqi territory at all, and Deng Jiugong did not come either.

Strong hatred flashed in Yin Jiao's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "King Zhou is our father, but we have severed the father-son relationship with him!"

Yin Jiao said: "Thank you, uncle, for the compliment."

Yin Jiao Dayi said solemnly: "Since King Zhou wanted to kill my two brothers, I was saved by my mentor. The prince of Yin Shang died at that time, and now the only one alive is Yin Jiao, a third-generation disciple of Chanjiao. What does the Great Shang Sheji have to do with me? Besides,

King Zhou is unruly, and the destiny of the people is gone. The king of Zhou is about to be crowned. How can I dare to go against heaven?"

Jiang Ziya swept his gaze from Wei Hu to Yin Jiao and Yin Hong, and asked: "You three, since you are sent by the sect to assist me in conquering merchants, please introduce yourselves."

Jiang Ziya said: "You three have just arrived and are not familiar with the rules of the military camp. I will ask Lei Zhenzi to explain it to you and arrange a place for you by the way."

On our side, we lost eight senior generals, and the merchant army was definitely lower than this number.

A person who sends troops unconventionally, has superb martial arts skills, and is good at strategy. In addition, he has a large number of Qi practitioners under his command. Such a person has become his own formidable enemy, a more difficult enemy than Master Wen.

The generals were silent, and the battlefield was indeed full of unpredictability. The two sides had almost the same strength in defending the city and attacking the city, and the battle loss ratio was actually similar. Deng Zhong led the troops and taught them a profound lesson.

Li Jing also had a sad look on his face. Of course, he was sad because of Mu Zha. As for Nezha, the traitor would die as soon as he died, so as not to cause trouble for himself.

Yin Hong said: "Disciple Yin Hong came down the mountain on the orders of his master Chi Jingzheng."

Jin Zha looked sad, with tears welling up in his eyes. He tried to hold back the tears. Yesterday, he was talking and laughing with Mu Zha, but today this brother died. There was also Nezha. This younger brother had a good attitude towards him. Seeing him

He felt extremely angry at the tragic death.

"Okay, no wonder he was accepted as a disciple by Senior Brother Guangchengzi. Such a righteous act of annihilating relatives is rare in ancient times."

"Disciple accepts the order."

Wei Hu and the others immediately thanked them.

Lei Zhenzi was injured, and a piece of flesh was cut off from his face. With his ferocious face, he looked even more ferocious, on par with Yin Jiao. He stepped forward and said, "Senior brothers, please follow me."

Because he didn't know how long these people had been worshiping the Chan Cult, he politely called the three senior brothers.

The three of them nodded and followed Lei Zhenzi down the tower.
