Chapter 319 Heavy losses and Han Rong's clever plan
A quarter of an hour later, Taoist Xing let out an unwilling and shrill cry.
The three-pointed double-edged knife scratched his forehead, leaving a striking blood mark.
The Yuanshen in the Nigong Pill was attracted by a huge force and slowly flew towards Shouyang Mountain!
In the Eight Scenery Palace in Shouyang Mountain, Taiqing was stunned when he saw the real spirit of Taoist Xing that suddenly appeared on the jade-white List of Gods?
Isn't this Taoist Xing, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun under the tutelage of Junior Brother Yuanshi?
He is also on the List of Gods?
It's incredible!
Taiqing quickly pinched his fingertips to calculate and understand the cause and effect, but as soon as his mind was immersed in the way of heaven, it was dispersed by the disorder of heaven.
Taiqing shook his head and showed a bitter smile on his face, "Under the great calamity, even saints cannot be omniscient and omnipotent. This great calamity is dangerous."
Even in the case of the witch and lich calamity that year, Taiqing remained calm.
But today, when he deduced the Conferred God Tribulation, he actually gave a dangerous evaluation, which is evident.
Taiqing stroked his long beard and sighed. Under the great tribulation, how should he act?
"Brother Daoxing!"
At Sishui Pass, True Man Cihang and True Man Puxian screamed.
But what greeted them was the heavy slap of the three-pointed double-edged sword!
At the same time, Lei Zhenzi gradually suppressed True Man Wenshu!
Lei Zhenzi is an innate thunder spirit with infinite power. He is born with the thunder law. With a little practice, he is a Daluo Jinxian.
At this time, the thunder law spread, the arc flashed, and the wisps of electric light spread, carrying the supreme destructive power, rushing towards Wenshu.
Fortunately, Wenshu still has the innate spiritual treasure of Dunlongzhu to protect his body.
Although he fell into a disadvantage, he was not in danger for a while!
Not far from Lei Zhenzi, Nezha, who was fighting fiercely with Jianglong and Fuhu, was even more full of vigor!
Hun Tian Ling danced to the extreme, the fire spear in his hand was like a poisonous dragon, murderous, wantonly passed in the air, and fought a tie with Jiang Long and Fu Hu!
But at this moment, Jiang Long Taoist's face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted, "Junior brothers!"
As soon as his voice fell, the gatekeeper Taoist led several other junior brothers to rush out of the Nine Dragons Formation.
There were fourteen people when they entered the Nine Dragons Formation. Now that they came out, there were only seven people left, including the gatekeeper Taoist, the tower-holding Taoist, the sitting Taoist, the river-crossing Taoist, the elephant-riding Taoist, the laughing lion Taoist, and the bag monk.
Seven people were directly killed in the Nine Dragons Formation!
In addition to the Taoist sitting on the deer and the long-browed Taoist who died before, there were already nine people.
They were all Taiyi Jinxian-level cultivators, the backbone of the Western Church.
The disciples who were second only to the four direct descendants actually died so many at once.
Jiang Long and Fu Hu were so angry that they wanted to tear the people of the Chan Sect into pieces immediately!
"Retreat!"
Jiang Long and Fu Hu shouted, and stopped fighting with Nezha, but flew to the Xiqi camp.
"Let's go too!"
Cihang Zhenren waved his hand, and infinite magic power burst out, temporarily forcing Yang Jian to retreat.
Then he turned into a stream of light and followed Jiang Long and Fu Hu closely.
Manjusri and Puxian did not dare to be careless. After taking the body of Daoxing Zhenren, they quickly performed the escape technique and left.
Nezha rubbed his hands, obviously still unsatisfied, and shouted at the backs of Jiang Long and others.
"Why are you running so fast? We haven't decided the winner yet!"
Lei Zhenzi was obviously also unsatisfied, and reluctantly put away the purple gold wind and thunder stick.
Luo Xuan and Yu Yuan walked up to Yang Jian and the other two with a smile, "After this battle, you will be famous in the prehistoric world."
As the third-generation disciples of Jiejiao, not only did they achieve the Dao of Daluo Jinxian, but they also defeated, no, even killed, the Jiejiao Jinxian. This is an incredible record!
In the future, Yang Jian, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi will definitely be well-known figures in the prehistoric world.
Yang Jian bowed and chuckled, "Brothers, you are too kind. Isn't this the performance that we Jiejiao disciples should have?"
Everyone was stunned, and then laughed, "It seems that Master Gongming has accepted a good disciple."
"Let's go back to Sishui Pass. I don't know how the war is going. Why would the King of Shang issue an order to retreat when everything is fine? It's really confusing."
The Four Saints of Jiulong Island scratched their heads, a little difficult to understand.
In their view, as long as they hold Sishui Pass, stabilize the other three great marquises, and destroy Xiqi, it is a sure thing.
But the order of the King of Shang is the decree of the Emperor of Man. Since they have chosen to come to help, they can only obey.
Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, "Lure the enemy deep into the country, and trap him in a jar. This is probably the King's idea, right?"
"Turtle in a jar?"
The Four Saints of Jiulong Island shook their heads, "Turtle in a jar is good, but if it goes wrong, we can't blame it."
The phoenix sings in Mount Qishan, and the destiny returns to Zhou. This is an indisputable fact. What does it mean?
It means that Mount Xiqi also carries a part of the destiny.
These cultivators can only deal with cultivators, but they can never control the destiny.
If the Xiqi army led by Ji Chang really has a smooth journey and enters Chaoge, it is normal for the destiny to change at that time.
Yang Jian smiled, "The King of Shang is instructed by my master, and he is still my junior brother. He should not do such a stupid thing. We just need to do our best to help him."
After a few simple conversations, everyone returned to Sishui Pass.
At Sishui Pass, Han Rong became more confident as he watched Yang Jian and his team return victoriously!
He was confident that he would win a great victory and would definitely live up to the king's expectations!
The atmosphere in Xiqi Camp was heavy, and Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang were all trembling with heart!
Never expected that one of his Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun would die just after the catastrophe began!
If the master knew, how angry he would be. The disciples he had cultivated with great effort were all on the Conferred God List!
Jianglong and Fuhu on the side were even more sad than Cihang and the other two.
Ten junior brothers died in the so-called Nine Dragons Formation of the Four Saints of Jiulong Island.
Miserable, too miserable!
Pain, heart-wrenching pain!
God knows how difficult it is for his Western Sect to cultivate a Taiyi Golden Immortal. If Master Uncle Zhunti knew,
Jianglong and others dared not imagine how miserable the scene would be.
But after seeing that the Taoist Master of the next door was also on the list, for some reason, Jianglong and Fuhu's anger dissipated a little.
A direct descendant of the Chan Sect also died. When the teacher knows, he should not blame us, right?
Ji Chang also became depressed instantly. He originally thought that with so many people from the Chan Sect and the Western Sect coming, they would definitely be able to achieve extraordinary results.
But this result really disappointed him!
Ji Fa stood up, "My Lord, shall we continue to attack the city?"
Ji Fa felt pain in his heart. These soldiers were all trained by him.
So many people were killed and injured, which was more painful than stabbing him with a knife!
Ji Chang's face became solemn and serious, "Attack, must attack, only by conquering Sishui Pass can we take the first step towards success!"
The sun slowly fell, night fell, darkness and coldness came, and the huge Xiqi camp was silent, with only faint snoring and the footsteps of soldiers patrolling.
The next morning, the golden rooster crowed, and the sun slowly rose from the east!
Ji Fa led his troops to attack Sishui Pass again. Han Rong's strategy did not change at all, and he still focused on defense!
In the morning, the Xiqi army attacked Sishui Pass with all its strength!
The army had lived in Xiqi for generations. They were brainwashed by Ji Chang and worked very hard to attack the city. Even Han Rong felt some pressure.
It was not until noon that Ji Chang ordered the troops to withdraw because they were exhausted!
After a bloody battle for a whole morning, Xiqi lost more than 5,000 soldiers, and hundreds of people were killed and injured at Sishui Pass.
Although Ji Fa felt distressed, he also knew that his father was right.
Only by taking Sishui Pass can the army's previous losses be made up.
Otherwise, if they continue to waste like this, Xiqi will not be able to withstand it no matter how strong its foundation is.
On the third, fourth, and fifth days, Xiqi attacked Sishui Pass in succession!
Xiqi lost a total of more than 20,000 people, and Dashang also lost two or three thousand people, about a ratio of ten to one.
Such a ratio, if placed outside, can be called a miracle, but at Sishui Pass, it still makes Han Rong very distressed.
On the night of the fifth day, Sishui Pass, the meeting hall.
Han Rong convened a meeting and ordered all the high-ranking generals of Sishui Pass to gather together to discuss matters.
Han Rong sharpened his sword, his eyes sparkling, emitting a brilliant light, and said, "The Xiqi rebels have been attacking our Sishui Pass for five consecutive days. These days, everyone has been asked to defend the city and forbidden to go out to meet the enemy. I know everyone is holding their breath."
"Tonight is the time for us to avenge our previous humiliation and leave an unforgettable memory for the Xiqi army!"
The advance officer Wang Hu was so excited that he could no longer bear it. He patted his chest and said with high spirits.
"General, just tell us directly. We will do whatever you tell us to do."
"Damn it, those bastards in Xiqi are so good at talking. If we really get to the battlefield, I will definitely tear their heads off."
"General, you should have a plan in mind. We would like to hear the details."
Han Rong spread out the blueprint on the table and began to say, "Xiqi has been under attack for five consecutive days, and the cost is huge every day. Now it is a time when people are exhausted. As long as we lead a bunch of elite soldiers and launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night, we will definitely be able to kill the entire Xiqi!"
"For this battle, I want the vanguard officer Wang Hu to lead the troops."
Han Rong pointed to the blueprint and explained it again, and everyone understood it.
Han Rong's strategy is to let the vanguard officer Wang Hu lead an army of 20,000 elite troops to launch a sneak attack from the right side of Xiqi's tent.
Yang Jian led 20,000 elite troops to launch a sneak attack from the left.
As for Han Rong, he quietly approached the Xiqi camp from the front of Sishui Pass!
As for Nezha, Lei Zhenzi and others, they led the remaining soldiers and horses to retreat from the city and rush to Jiepai Pass.
Nezha and Lei Zhenzi were reluctant at first. They went to the lower world to practice and fight, not to be bodyguards and guards for the army.
But under Yang Jian's insistence, the two finally agreed.
Soon, the night gradually darkened, and darkness and coldness enveloped the entire Sishui Pass, and the coldness continued to erode.
In Sishui Pass, all the soldiers who went out on this expedition put on inner armor and soft armor, and moved silently!
In addition, they were also equipped with a number of crossbowmen and archers, responsible for accurately solving the target.
