All the generals were gathered together, but there was no atmosphere of victory.
It has been nearly three months since the war started, and the two sides have fought more than 20 major and minor battles, almost every three days. This frequency is extremely terrifying no matter what era it is.
Su Hu was worthy of being one of the four famous generals. His command of troops might not be as good as Huang Feihu's, and his methods of governing the country were not as good as Ji Chang's. However, he was extremely resilient. He quickly changed his strategy, abandoned his plan of quick victory, and began to
Fight a protracted war.
This principle has been true throughout the ages. The morale of Xiqi's army was indeed high at first, but after more than twenty battles, it was inevitable that it would become exhausted.
What's more, there is another key factor, physical fitness.
The physical fitness of slaves is generally very poor. The whole day's work in the past and now the whole day's training are like a heavy burden on their shoulders.
Even though the vitality of heaven and earth in the Xianwu World is rich, the intensity of the wars it participates in is not comparable to that of the ordinary world.
Therefore, during the war, they relied on one breath to hold on. Once the battle was over and they relaxed, a large number of soldiers fell down and never got up again after returning to camp.
They are like candles, burning their enemies and themselves with their heat.
Su Hu quickly realized this and made an aggressive move every day. A big war would inevitably start in three days. It would be useless to hang a war-free card at the camp gate. If he catches you, he will fight.
Judging from the overall battle report, it seems that Su Hu's army did not get any advantage, and the camp was forced to retreat for more than ten miles. In fact, it was boiling frogs in warm water that pushed the Xiqi army to the edge of a cliff. Once it was completely exhausted, it collapsed.
, that is, the defeat is like a mountain falling, and it can no longer be stopped.
"This can't continue like this. We must force Su Hu to fight decisively!"
"How to fight decisively? He can advance or retreat. The worst he can do is retreat to Sishui Pass!"
The generals were talking a lot, and their faces were extremely ugly.
There are two versions of the five passes in this era: Chaoge as the center, Chentangguan in the north, Youhun Pass in the east, Sanshan Pass in the south, Jiameng Pass in the southwest, and Qinglong Pass in the northwest. These five passes were basically used to resist foreign enemies and were called
The outer five passes.
The five passes through which King Wu defeated Zhou were Lintong Pass, Tong Pass, Chuanyun Pass, Jiepai Pass and Bishui Pass. These were the five inner passes.
Jinji Ridge is the closest to Sishui Pass. If Su Hu's army is really pushed into a hurry and he retreats to Sishui Pass, is it possible that Xiqi's army can still attack Sishui Pass?
This kind of strategic suppression is unsolvable. Even if Nangong Shi is reborn, he will not be able to come up with a countermeasure.
Seeing that the generals were helpless and the time was ripe, Ji Fa winked at his younger brother Ji Dan.
Ji Dan is the fourth son of Ji Chang, also known as Shu Dan. Historically, he made rituals, music, and established regulations and systems. His remarks can be found in various chapters of Zhou Shu in "Shang Shu". He is revered as the founder of Confucianism and is the most respected ancient scholar by Confucius.
The saint was revered as the "Original Saint" by later generations.
Today's Ji Dan is still young, but he has already shown extraordinary talent. He said: "Generals, we are at a disadvantage in this battle. If we want to reverse the situation, ordinary methods are no longer possible. That Zhang Guifang is proficient in left-handed magic."
, can capture the Fourteenth Brother, why don’t we recruit strange people and strangers to fight against him?”
As soon as these words came out, all the generals looked a little unhappy.
Ordinary generals are actually very repulsive to strangers who are skilled in Taoism.
Firstly, people from outside the country are often unruly and do whatever they want. Secondly, strangers can easily accomplish things that ordinary people can only accomplish with great efforts, which inevitably leads to psychological imbalance.
However, at this point in the war, they could not raise any objections.
San Yisheng, the superior doctor, said: "What His Highness said is reasonable, but now I am afraid it will be too late to summon strange people to fight against the enemy. Su Hu will not give us a chance to breathe!"
Ji Dan said: "The doctor's concerns are very true. Fortunately, there should be several sorcerers and strangers in the second brother's house, right?"
Ji Fa's foundation is in the army. Even if the time is ripe now, if he proposes it, even if he wins in the future, it will embarrass the generals in the army. It will be detrimental to the rule, so it is just right for Ji Dan to propose it.
Ji Fa took advantage of the situation and smiled bitterly and said: "I feel ashamed to say it. After returning from the battle in Jizhou, I always thought about General Nangong. Apart from my grief, I also thought that if there was any way to save it, people outside the country are proficient in the heretical methods.
, I can learn from each other's strengths with other generals, but this is just my humble opinion, I don't know if it can be realized..."
The two brothers sang in harmony, and the expressions of the generals softened greatly. Ji Chang's eyes also flashed with relief, and he nodded slightly.
Ji Fa was overjoyed.
In terms of talent and ability, he is confident that he will not lose to any of his brothers. Even Boyikao is not as good as him in both civil and military skills. However, the background of his birth is not something he can decide. Just because he is the second son, he cannot inherit Xibo.
How can you be content with the position of marquis?
Fortunately, in this battle, he will truly show his edge and let Xiqi know inside and outside that besides the saint Ji Chang, there is also his prince Ji Fa!
…
…
Woo! Woo! Woo!
Amidst the sound of the attack horn, a large number of warriors roared like a frenzy, and charged towards the opponent with a force that shook the sky and the earth, causing heavy rain and thunder.
Blood flowed and death filled the air. Numbness and confusion gradually appeared on the faces of both sides. Even the Xiqi soldiers who had fought for freedom were no exception.
No one can guarantee that they will see the sun tomorrow. When this precarious life lasts for two full months, any passion and hope are wiped out.
But this battle is no longer the same.
The leader is no longer the Xiqi generals, but Gao Jineng, Fajie and a dozen other people from outside the country.
In Su Hu's army, Zhang Guifang sensed something was wrong and hurriedly spread the word: "Master Hou, be careful, that seems to be someone from my teaching who possesses magical powers, so you have to guard against him!"
There were too many Jie Jiao Ten Thousand Immortals. Except for the four major disciples, Empress Sanxiao and a handful of the most famous beings, Zhang Guifang could not recognize them all, but she could tell from their auras, so she was immediately on guard.
Master Wang set up a formation and would never advance rashly.
Su Hu frowned.
In Jizhou City, his good situation was ruined by Zheng Lun's hum. Previously, Shen Gongbao had reminded him that he should be wary of people with Taoist skills.
But the problem is that this strategy of weakening the enemy has reached the most critical moment. He cannot retreat just because a group of strangers appear in the Xiqi Army.
What's more, Shen Gongbao also said that there is no need to be afraid of the other party's foreigners. The matter has come to this, and we can only trust him!
Just when Su Hu gritted his teeth and ordered the attack, the other side had already launched the offensive first. Gao Jineng took out a bag from his waist and threw it away.
In an instant, a big hole seemed to open in the sky, and countless buzzing sounds came from it. The soldiers' originally numb expressions quickly turned into fear, and they even couldn't help shouting.
There were countless insects, covering the sky and the sun, and rushing towards people's faces.
A city can push infantry, resist cavalry, and intimidate all directions, but it cannot avoid the all-pervasive insects. When the insects ride on its face, the originally impregnable formation of A city suddenly becomes in shambles.
At this juncture, Fajie held his sword with his hair disheveled and murmured words. Countless paper pinwheels floated out and turned into chariots with thousands of blades. The wind was howling, the black clouds were dense, the wind and fire were blowing, and the blades were coming down.
There was nothing fancy about it. Thousands of Wan-blade chariots pushed straight across, destroying everything along the way. The mountains collapsed and the ground cracked. The soldiers lost their footing and staggered around. Following the armored chariots, the military formation also began to collapse.
When the explosive magical power instantly tore through the silence of heaven and earth, roaring on the battlefield with a wild flow, even Xiqi's army was stunned, looking at the two groups' attack methods in horror, and Su Hu's army turned on its back
, a mess.
"Cavalry charge! Charge!"
Ji Fa's reaction was the fastest. He drew out his long sword and stepped out with iron hoofs. He went up and down along the way and killed the enemy bravely.
With 50,000 royal troops arrayed in formation, and Zhang Guifang watching eagerly, Xiqi's army did not dare to offend for a while, but picked on the weak and went to kill the slave owners' army commanded by Su Hu.
Even so, Zhang Guifang also changed her color when the Wanbian chariot approached with unstoppable speed.
When it comes to one-on-one battles with generals, he is not afraid of them, but under the powerful weapon of group damage like the Swarm of Insects, his personal strength is insignificant, and he has to have the same restraint and magical means!
"Stop being so arrogant!"
Fortunately, at this moment, several rays of light flashed across the sky, Shen Gongbao's passionate voice sounded, and he landed in front of the formation, facing the Thousand-Blade Centipede. Then, four Taoists stepped into the arena.
