Chapter 490 Difficult choices
Chapter 490: Hard choice
Zhang Feng, the general of Lintong Pass, was now very annoyed, and he wanted to kill someone.
As a veteran of the three dynasties of the Shang Dynasty, old man Zhang Feng was always a loyal minister and a good general. Unexpectedly, he was scolded by an unknown young man today. However, the scolding seemed reasonable, which made Zhang Feng unable to find any good reasons to refute it for a while.
If Queen Jiang was really killed and the murderer was indeed Fei Zhong and Youhun, then there was no doubt that it would be a typical case of a despicable villain assassinating loyal ministers and good generals.
At this time, if Zhang Feng was asked to capture Dongbo Marquis Jiang Huanchu, even if others didn't say that Zhang Feng was accomplice of the tiger, old man Zhang Feng would not be able to pass the test!
"Old man, I am a veteran of the Three Great Shang dynasties and a loyal and kind person for generations. When did I fall to the point of being accomplice of Fei Zhong and Youhun?"
Therefore, Old Man Zhang Feng always had such an evil fire in his heart that he had nowhere to vent.
At this moment, Xibo Hou Jifa, carrying a bucket of turmeric oil, fell straight into the heart of Old Man Zhang Feng.
Because, just as Old Man Zhang Feng led his troops to reconcile before the Donglu Military Camp, Xiqi quickly noticed the abnormal movements of the Shang Dynasty with the mysterious magical powers of the One Yuan Cult.
He thought that Old Man Zhang Feng was dispatching troops overnight to come to Xiqi to steal the camp, so Ji Fa quickly summoned the generals to prepare for war, preparing for an anti-sneak attack on the Shang Dynasty.
As a result, the geniuses observed for a moment and said that it seemed that the Shang Dynasty had rebelled.
When Ji Fa heard this, he felt overjoyed, "This is a good opportunity!"
So Ji Fa hurriedly asked the geniuses of the One Yuanshen Sect to invite the great geniuses of the Western Sect and the Heavenly Court to discuss matters.
As a little master of the Golden Immortal level, even if he doesn't use any magical powers, he can easily see a thousand or eight hundred miles by just looking at it. Therefore, the bald head of Qichadiluosha had already discovered the abnormality in Lintong Pass.
Now that Zhang Feng was leading his troops to surround the Donglu camp, Qichadilu Bald Head was so excited!
"If I had known that the Jie Sect sect in the Donglu Camp was not the same as the Shang Dynasty, would I still wave my sleeves early, push down the city wall, and let the Xiqi army rush into the fight, why wait here stupidly! If I arrived, this Dongdi would be quite dangerous! Stay for one more day, it would be a little more dangerous. It would be better to finish the work early and go back to the Western school for the New Year!"
With this idea, Qichadisha bald head did not refuse Ji Fa's proposal. As soon as the golden mouth opened, he said with a big bag, "Master Xibo just worry, the city gate of Lintong Pass will be handed over to our Western scholars! As long as the army of Xianhou drove to Lintong Pass, I will set a way for the Xiqi army. As for the matter of deterring the enemy, it should be left to General Bian Zhuang!"
The bald head of Qicha's bottom sankangsha had decided everything, and even the general of the Wild Boar Demon Heavenly Canopy did not dare to say anything to refute.
After finalizing the details, Ji Fa led the army to Lintong Pass in a mighty way. Then, before Zhang Feng could react, what was going on, the gate of Lintong Pass collapsed, and the Xiqi army rushed in and began the fierce battle for Lintong Pass.
In fact, Zhang Feng is not completely unprepared.
You should know that after Chen Tong, the defender of Tongguan, led the defeated troops to retreat to Lintongguan in the previous period, he had already told Old Man Zhang Feng in detail about the various details of the loss of Tongguan.
Old Zhang Feng led the army to fight for the rest of his life, and he was familiar with all kinds of strategies. In addition, Lintong Pass is now fully equipped with sufficient soldiers and food, so he made corresponding arrangements for this situation early in the morning. Therefore, even though Zhang Feng had not returned from the Eastern Lu Camp, the corresponding defenders were prepared. At this moment, when the city gate collapsed, the Xiqi army entered the city, they immediately ambushed up and launched a fierce confrontation with the Xiqi army.
When the city gate of Lintongguan collapsed, old man Zhang Feng was in a dilemma at the entrance of the Donglu Camp and was very embarrassed. When he heard Xiqi's attack, his face immediately changed, and he turned to his generals in anger and said to his subordinates, "Let's go, destroy Xiqi's slanted rebels first, and then go back to discuss with Dongbohou!"
As he said that, Old Man Zhang Feng ignored Jiang Ziya and led his troops away on his own, not even leaving a symbolic harsh word.
However, although the army withdrew, Zhang Feng still left several waves of provocateurs around the Donglu Camp, and a small team of more than 3,000 troops were temporarily used as supervisors to monitor the movements of the 100,000 troops of Donglu.
"The greatness of the Shang Dynasty is probably coming to an end!" Seeing Zhang Feng leading the troops away, Jiang Ziya shook his head very much, shook his sleeves, raised his head and chest, and walked around the Eastern Lu Camp in a square step.
Jiang Ziya seemed calm and calm, but the battle between the defenders of Lintong Pass and the soldiers of Xiqi quickly reached a white-hot level.
Xiqi relied on the help of the gods and men, and was as powerful as a rainbow. Lintong Pass was fully prepared for energy and had an absolute advantage in military strength. As a result, hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides squeezed into the gap more than a hundred feet wide at the city gate, and started a desperate battle. In that scene, the light of swords and fires shone, the remaining limbs and blood flew together, and there were even more tragic and shrill horns and shouts of hoarseness. The sound of soul-stirring war drums and sharp weapons collided with the sky. It was really a scene of a good Shura killing scene (it seems that Shura is a good way?).
After nearly two hours of fierce fighting, the sky was about to brighten, and the bodies of both sides had already piled up thickly at the gate of the city. The balance of the battlefield finally gradually tilted. However, it was not tilted towards Xiqi, but towards the Shang army in Lintongguan.
There are profound historical reasons for such a result.
Xiqi's killer weapon, the pig demon intimidation technique, was used too frequently, which led to a certain degree of immunity from the Shang army. In addition, it seemed that there were disciples of the Jie Sect in Lintong Pass, and neither the bald heads of the Western Sect nor the demon gods in the Heavenly Court dared to participate in this battle too directly. The Tianpeng General Bian Zhuang only showed the true body of a wild boar and hovered far above the Xiqi army. In addition, it was night itself, so the deterrence effect on the Shang army was quite limited.
The soldiers of Lintong Pass were well prepared and waited for their hard work. As the battle situation gradually became more intense, Zhang Feng personally mobilized the remnants of Nanbo Hou E Chongyu and Beibo Hou Chonghou Hu to assist in the battle. In addition, the total number of troops directly participated in the battle reached 200,000, and there were nearly 100,000 reserve troops, which could be replenished into the battlefield at any time.
With such an absolute advantage in military strength and relative geographical advantages, and Zhang Feng, Hong Jin, Chen Tong and others who were already long-standing generals on the battlefield were in command, adapting to the situation, so the balance of victory finally began to slowly tilt towards the Shang army.
Seeing that he had basically controlled the rhythm of the battlefield, Old Man Zhang Feng finally had a breath of turbid air.
But in Xiqi, Xibo Hou Jifa was so anxious that he turned around.
Although he is not very proficient in military strategies, as long as he has eyes, it is possible to see that Xiqi's defeat has been achieved.
After finally gathering such a large number of criminals to create a rebellion by Da Shang, four of them had already been captured by the Five Passes, but they were about to lose here. How could Ji Fa not be in a hurry?
You know, even if the Da Shang has lost several formations in a row and has lost nearly 500,000 troops, with the national strength of the Da Shang, it is still possible to gather hundreds of thousands of troops. If the other three towns of princes are included and aggregation of millions of troops is not impossible.
But Xiqi can't afford to lose!
To this day, Xiqi has invested more than 300,000 troops, and the losses are still as large as 100,000. If the remaining army of less than 200,000 troops are tossed, I am afraid that Xiqi may not be able to recover its vitality within 20 years. Therefore, Ji Fa cannot afford to lose!
As soon as he was so anxious, Ji Fa got angry and blisters all over his mouth.
However, Ji Fa was not in the mood to pay attention to the blistering blisters in his mouth. After thinking hard for a long time, Ji Fa had no choice but to find Qichadiluo Shabatou and others to discuss countermeasures again.
"Is there an invincible Vajra Circle for the soldiers of Xiqi?" After hearing Ji Fa's request, Qicha's bald head frowned and his face showed a hesitation.
This is also impossible. Although the monk of the Jie Sect in Donglu seems to have no intention to help Da Shang yet, this is not unpredictable!
If the city wall in Lintong Pass collapsed, as long as it was not smashed to death, everything would be fine. Even if the Three Qingshu asked him about it, he could shirk it casually. Even if the city wall was not strong, it would be a lie that was unreliable at first sight. After all, this is not a direct violation of the rules!
But if the invincible Vajra circle is added to the Xiqi soldiers, the problem will be great! If the monk from Jie Sect complains with the Tongtian leader and the murderer who is involved in the murderous man of Tongtian leader, I guess even if the two bald leaders of his family come, they may not be able to save their lives, right?
However, our Western religion has a secret method of infinite resurrection. Even if both body and spirit are destroyed, as long as there is a little real spirit in the leader's guide treasure banner, there should be no problem with resurrection.
However, this seems to be risky. I heard that the List of Gods seems to be a scam that can eat people and not spit out bones. Once it is on the list, it will become a slave to the way of heaven from then on! If you want to turn around again, it will be nowhere to be possible!
"I know that the immortal chief is a moral person and is reluctant to kill. However, this time I am not for my own selfishness, but for the welfare of all people in the world! Therefore, I beg the immortal chief to be compassionate and seek a way out for the people of the world!" Just as the sham Guang of Qichadi was hesitant, the sage said with a righteous spirit and a sonorous voice.
"What a bad thing for the sake of the people of the world, what if you think this bald head is a three-year-old child!" Qichadiwusha bald head felt disdainful when he heard this. However, now it is a grasshopper on a rope, and Qichadiwusha bald head is not good for directly opening his mouth to remove Ji Fa's platform. After hesitating for a moment, Qichadiwusha bald head began to whine, "Well, wait for me and the immortal chiefs in the Heavenly Court to hold a meeting tobacco, wine, tobacco and bar!"
"What a big deal to study! If you study again, my little family fortune will be ruined!" Ji Fa was so angry! But he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he could only smile.
However, Ji Fa is a person with a very thoughtful mind after all. After circling his eyes, he became calculating in an instant.
But seeing that Ji Fa's eyes moved around. Seeing that there was no enemy around, he carefully approached Qichadijisha baldhead, as if he was selling pirated CDs. He spoke carefully, "I know that the immortals of your sect are all experienced people. Therefore, when attacking Lintong Pass, there is no need for Qichadijisha Xianzhao to take action himself. I only sent a few capable subordinates to give me Xiqi's vanguard soldiers a protective spell and tear apart the positions of the Shang army! As long as things are done, I will definitely shape the golden body for the immortals and let the people across the country worship him! I don't know what the immortals are thinking?"
I have to admit that Ji Fa is quite good at understanding people's hearts. Although he did not have much contact with the bald men from the Western religion, he quickly understood the preferences of these bald men. Now, this opening was just a few simple words, and he was scratching the itchy part of the bald man's bottom of the giggle.
Although both bald heads of Shin-Yin-Ti also worship Hongjun and old earthworms as their teachers, the Western teachings have their own system, shaping golden bodies, worshipping them, and receiving incense from the world. This is a relatively common shortcut for practicing among the second-generation bald heads of Western teachings.
This time, even if the Western religion invaded the Eastern Land, even if it was finally successful, the two bald leaders of the Western religion should be the ones who really benefited in the end.
But if Ji Fa, the emperor, personally promoted him to shape a golden body across the country, worshipped the bald head of the gigolo, and mobilized the people across the country to worship him...
"Well, think about it, it makes people drool!" The image of a priest monk with a bald head with a slightest thought was instantly destroyed by Ji Fa's sugar-coated cannonballs. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if a star appeared, looking like a typical financial fanatic.
"If you can get the support of the Human Emperor, build temples everywhere in the prehistoric world, and accept the incense on earth, and believe that it is not undesirable to achieve the Buddha's fruit with your own qualifications! Moreover, even if this matter fails, it will be blocked by the monks of the Jie Cult. As long as you are not caught direct evidence of crime, you can say that the little bald men under your command act on their own and lead one or two small soldiers to take the blame."
Having a scheming in his heart, Qichadadasha bald head did not hesitate at all, and immediately nodded in agreement.
The boss has already spoken, no matter whether it is right or wrong, the soldiers who run errands below must execute it.
So, with the command of Qicha Dijiu Sha Bald Head, the small bald heads of the Western Sect immediately activated their magic power and formed a formation to bless the Invincible Vajra Circle to the soldiers in Xiqi.
But when they saw a series of golden apertures wrapped the Xiqi soldiers like eggshells, the Xiqi soldiers immediately turned into an invincible state. No matter how the soldiers of the Shang Dynasty attacked, they could not break through the seemingly weak golden light defense.
With the participation of this force majeure factor, the situation on the entire battlefield quickly reversed. The Xiqi army, which was about to be defeated, showed its power and began a one-sided massacre of the soldiers of the Shang Dynasty.
In this ignorant era, people always maintain enough respect and fear for unknown gods, immortals, ghosts and monsters.
For example, after the war between the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi, after the Xiqi soldiers blessed the Invincible Vajra Circle, at the beginning, the Shang Dynasty soldiers could still fight with the Xiqi soldiers with their courage. Later, after truly seeing the incredible power of the Xiqi army, panic began to spread rapidly in the strokes of the Shang Dynasty.
Then, with a large number of soldiers of the Shang Dynasty, who were almost slaughtered without any resistance, the defeat inevitably happened.
The first to be defeated was the army of Bohou in the north and south.
The army on these two sides had previous experiences of defeat. In addition, they came from the north and south to assist the Shang Dynasty in the war. These vassal coalition forces were reluctant and unstable. They seemed to be facing the fate of defeat, so they ran away to save their lives. Naturally, these soldiers chose to escape.
Then, driven by the legendary herd effect, in just a quarter of an hour, the escape of a very small number of soldiers expanded into the defeat of the entire Shang Dynasty.
The defeat of the entire army has been completed. Even though Zhang Feng is a veteran of the three dynasties and a long-time general on the battlefield, he can only sigh and say nothing about it!
"General Zhang, Xiqi has used magic tricks again. In this state, the soldiers of Xiqi are not something that ordinary people can compete with. Even if they forcibly drive the soldiers into battle, they will only die in vain." Seeing that Xiqi was foolish again, knowing that the situation was hopeless, the former general of Tongguan Chen Tong led the remaining soldiers to find Zhang Feng, and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice.
After hearing Chen Tong's words, he looked at the situation in the field again. Old Man Zhang Feng's eyes were full of unwilling anger, "No! I won't leave! As the general of Lintong Pass, even if I die, I will die in Lintong Pass! Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the grace of the late emperor!"
Chen Tong couldn't help but feel even more anxious when he heard this, "General Zhang! Staying here is just a death in vain, it won't make any sense! Why don't we collect the soldiers first and retreat slowly! As long as we can keep more than half of the soldiers in Lintong Pass and evacuate or burn most of the supplies, we will have a chance to make a comeback!"
Although Chen Tong's statement was reasonable and well-founded, Old Man Zhang Feng was already in a state of redness. With a rude attack, no matter how Chen Tong dissuaded him, he refused to retreat.
At this moment, Hong Jin from the other side also came with the remaining part of the body.
Since the fierce battle, Hong Jin's subordinates have less than 10,000, and the rest are all injured, which can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
He rushed to Zhang Feng and Hong Jinyu said with a sad voice, "General Zhang, retreat quickly! This Ji Fa child is too shameless! This is not a war, it is obviously a massacre! If we don't retreat, our subordinates are just so unclear and they are all ruined here. It doesn't matter if we die in battle, but such a way of death is really too cowardly! We are unwilling to give up!"
"General Zhang, please give orders quickly! If you don't give orders, my last little family fortune in the Shang Dynasty will be completely ruined here!" Chen Tong, on the side, also hurriedly followed the drum beater.
"This, I..." Seeing the two generals' miserable and sad situation, Old Man Zhang Feng couldn't bear it, and his tone of speaking became a little loose.
Chapter completed!
