After a chaotic battle, the generals of the merchant camp were either killed or captured. With their morale plummeting, the merchant camp quickly fled in defeat, and the army of hundreds of thousands collapsed in an instant.

For the next half month, Xiqi soldiers were hunting down prisoners all over the mountains and plains. In the end, the Yin merchant soldiers who managed to escape from Xiqi territory were all gone. Only a few hundred people escaped back to the Sishui Pass in the rear.

middle.

Lu Zhi did not follow Jiang Ziya's suggestion and return to Xiqi for preparation. Instead, he mobilized heavy troops and left Xiqi directly, passed through Yanshan Mountain, passed Taohualing, and then to Shouyang Mountain, and then directly attacked Sishui Pass with his army!

Over the past few years, the Xiqi side has already accumulated enough information and military strength to attack the Yin Shang Dynasty. However, due to strategic considerations, Lu Zhi has been developing steadily for another year, thinking of continuing slowly.

Consume some of the Yin Shang's military strength and foundation.

But this time, since Brother Xuandu has spoken and asked him to destroy the Yin Shang Dynasty as soon as possible, there is no need to hide anything. With Xiqi's current strength, he is enough to overturn these five levels and directly enter the Chaoge City.

!

Xiqi's army approached the city, and Sishui Pass was in immediate danger. After all, when Chaoge had been conquering Xiqi for many years, he had already mobilized most of the defenders at Sishui Pass, and all the materials used were supplied by Sishui Pass. They were already overwhelmed.

.

The two guards of Bishui Pass, Han Rong and Yu Hua, have all been lost in Xiqi. So far, they have not been able to select new guards to guard the pass. Moreover, the number of guards in Guanzhong now only exceeds 10,000 soldiers.

There are only a few generals, so how can they stop the people of Xiqi?

When they arrived at the Sishui Pass, Lu Zhi directly ordered a strong attack. The defenders of the Sishui Pass resisted for a while, but it took less than an hour to declare the defeat. The Xiqi army drove them straight in and captured

Come down the pass.

Then came Jiepaiguan, which was also easily captured by the non-stop Xiqi generals.

After all, the original guard of the Jiepai Pass was Huang Feihu's father, Old General Huang Gun, and the remaining deputy generals and soldiers were mostly Huang brothers and his other personal soldiers.

Therefore, since Huang Gun led the Huang family and his soldiers to defect from Chaoge along with Huang Feihu, most of the defense force at Jiepaiguan was instantly drained, and until now, no suitable person has been found to guard it.

As for the soldiers at Jiepai Pass, most of them were under the command of Old General Huang Gun and other Huang family members. Now, as soon as the Xiqi army arrived, Huang Feihu, Huang Feibao, Huang Feibiao and others came out to shout at the pass, moving them with emotion.

, know how to reason.

Coupled with the heavy pressure of the army pressing down on the border, some of the defenders in the pass suddenly became interested. They fought internally first, and after killing several die-hards who were determined not to open the city, the remaining people immediately took the initiative to open the city.

After entering the city gate, they welcomed Huang Feihu and others and Xiqi's army as they entered the city.

In less than two days, Xiqi's army marched straight in and passed two levels in an instant. The news was sent back to Chaoge, which immediately shocked King Zhou, Emperor Xin and other officials in the court.

They were both horrified that Xiqi had developed to such an extent and had the ability to rebel against Chaoge City, and at the same time angry at their rebellion.

Emperor Xin was even at the court meeting at that time. In front of all the important ministers of the court, he became furious and dragged several unlucky ministers down to fill the pottery basin in the palace!

But being angry, Emperor Xin had to suppress the anger in his heart, and once again discussed with the ministers, dispatching suitable manpower to reinforce Xiqi's next pass to the east, Chuanyunguan Pass, to prevent Xiqi from going to the east.

The Qi army directly broke through the five passes, marched straight in, and reached Chaoge.

Just like the situation in the previous passes, Chen Wu, the guard of Chuanyunguan Pass, was killed by Huang Feihu when Huang Feihu passed the fifth pass. Now there is no general in charge of the pass.

Although compared to the situation where there are almost no generals at Sishui Pass and Jiepai Pass, the situation at Chuanyunguan is much better. At least there are several deputy generals in charge, but with this few generals, it is impossible to stop them.

Can survive Xiqi's army.

Therefore, after Chaoge's party discussed it, they immediately dispatched several supporting troops from the generals and soldiers guarding the pass in the north, south, south, east, and west to reinforce Chuanyunguan, Tongguan and other passes in the west.

On the other hand, Lu Zhi was not in a hurry to take down Chuanyunguan Pass. After all, they had just broken two levels in a row. The soldiers needed to repair the two levels. The two levels that had been defeated also needed to be sent out to manage the two levels.

Moreover, Chuanyun Pass is not like Bishui Pass or Jiepai Pass. It is impossible to capture it by force in one fell swoop. On the contrary, it will easily cause chaos in the rear. It is better to repair it first and slowly

Make more plans.

Then, one month passed after this renovation. The Bishui Pass and Jiepai Pass in the rear were also controlled by Xiqi's side. There was no risk of change. At this point, Lu Zhi was ready to go to the front again.

Then proceed to Chuanyunguan.

Jiepaiguan, Xiqi Camp.

Hearing that Lu Zhi wanted to send troops to Chuanyunguan again, Jiang Ziya immediately found Lu Zhi's commander's tent in a hurry.

"Marshal, you can't. Now our army has just experienced many fierce battles and captured Sishui Pass and Jiepai Pass. It's the time when we need to recuperate."

"Moreover, there are still many things that have not been fully dealt with in the two passes of Sishui Pass and Jiepai Pass. If we mobilize troops at this moment, there may be a risk of chaos."

Lu Zhi said: "Prime Minister, you can handle these internal affairs. However, I have some considerations when it comes to sending troops. I think Chaoge City has been mobilizing troops from all sides in the past few days.

, nearly 100,000 people have come to Chuanyunguan Pass for reinforcements."

"If we wait any longer, I'm afraid that when we try to attack Chuanyun Pass again, Chuanyun Pass will have turned into a hard bone. But if we try to conquer it again, I don't know how much more effort it will take and how many soldiers will be injured.

"

"So when I send troops at this moment, I have taken this situation into consideration, and I am confident that I can capture Chuanyun Pass while the defenders and reinforcements have not yet adjusted well!"

But Jiang Ziya still shook his head and said: "No, no!"

"Marshal, listen to me. When I returned to Kunlun, Master Yuanshi once criticized me, saying that thirty-six troops would come to attack me. Only when I defeated these three troops one by one

After sixteen armies of troops attack, we can be worry-free and overthrow the Yin Shang Dynasty in one fell swoop."

"At this moment, only twenty-one of the troops who came to attack us are here. If we go to attack Chaoge, we will definitely be blocked!"

"Moreover, the gods who have returned to their thrones on the list of gods have only just reached the halfway mark, but they have not yet arrived at the time when we are waiting for our success."

Lu Zhi turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ziya. He didn't know whether he really believed in the criticism of Yuanshi Tianzun, or whether he was told by Yuanshi Tianzun that he had to plan carefully and get rid of all the people he taught.

Get rid of this catastrophe.

Lu Zhi did not comment on this, but since Jiang Ziya had already said so, there was no harm in waiting a few more days.

After all, in the final analysis, the leaders of this God-conferring catastrophe were still Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao, two flying bear-like figures who acted in secret. Lu Zhi could not have completed this catastrophe without Jiang Ziya.

Then, another two months passed by in an instant, and winter was about to begin. After winter, it was no longer suitable to mobilize troops. Lu Zhi finally couldn't wait any longer, and ordered the soldiers to be summoned, preparing to go to Chuanyunguan to test it first.

Ichiban.

If they can capture Chuanyun Pass in one fell swoop, they will spend the winter in Chuanyun Pass. If they cannot, they will retreat and wait until spring next year before attacking and capturing the pass again.

However, the result of this battle was beyond Lu Zhi's expectation. Xiqi's army was defeated at Chuanyun Pass!

When Lu Zhi led his troops to Chuanyunguan Pass, he saw that the Chuanyunguan Pass soldiers had already prepared and lined up in the field. They then fought a fierce battle with the Xiqi army and retreated after being defeated. The Xiqi generals immediately led their troops.

catch up.

But unexpectedly, this was a vicious trap set by the business side.

They sent a team of 10,000 people as decoys to lure the Xiqi army into an ambush. Then they immediately saw the ambush soldiers from the commercial camp pouring out from all sides, pushing white paper chariots and forming a line.

Left and right, it immediately stimulated the shooting.
Chapter completed!
