Chapter 372: Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west - Second Sage Kong Xuan

Emperor Xin shook his head, "No matter what your selfish motives are, since you have helped my Shang Dynasty so much, you deserve my respect. Besides, the black bird was born from heaven, and gave birth to Shang Dynasty. You can be considered the ancestor of my Shang Dynasty. Why can't I respect you?"

When Emperor Xin's voice fell, a huge roar rose above Chaoge.

The long river of supreme humanity emerged, and the golden luck of humanity roared, raising huge waves.

Each golden wave represents a wisp of luck of humanity. Looking closely, you can see that there are countless marks of the ancestors of the human race hidden in the waves.

There are Suiren who drilled wood to make fire, Youchao who built a nest with wood, Ziyi who made animal skins as clothes, Cangjie, the sage of human literature, preached, and there was also a battle for the throne between the emperor Xuanyuan and the emperor!

Each story, in succession, constitutes an immortal and magnificent chapter of the human race.

At this moment, in the long river of humanity, a pure and refined luck suddenly turned into a beam of light and rose far away!

Finally, it fell into Kong Xuan's body without a trace left.

"Crack!"

A shattering sound sounded, as if it was inside the body, and it seemed to be inside the body, breaking the bottleneck that had imprisoned Kong Xuan for countless thousands of years.

In an instant, the breath in Kong Xuan's body began to rise steadily.

Finally, from the great perfection of the quasi-saint, he broke through to the sub-saint, becoming a strong man of the same level as the black tortoise.

With the current strength of the two, any one of them can be invincible under the saint.

Dealing with ordinary quasi-saints is like playing, and it is a super-level player.

After proving the breakthrough, Kong Xuan's breath did not leak out, but was extremely restrained, just like a mortal.

His eyes were calm and he accepted the courtesy of Emperor Xin calmly.

After Emperor Xin performed the courtesy, he tried to say, "Mr. Kong Xuan, are you willing to return to my Great Shang Ancestral Temple?"

After this, Kong Xuan did not reply immediately.

Returning to the Great Shang Ancestral Temple is not just a formality!

Returning to the Great Shang Ancestral Temple means that Kong Xuan's destiny is tied to the human race.

Prosperity and loss are common. Kong Xuan would never agree to it under normal circumstances.

But for some reason, this time, Kong Xuan hesitated.

A great catastrophe of the Conferred Gods made Kong Xuan see many things clearly.

The saints are high above, the mortals are weak and helpless, the cruelty of war, the ruthlessness of the catastrophe, and the fundamental tenacity of the human race.

After more than ten breaths, Kong Xuan said, "Okay, you can enter the ancestral temple, but this matter only involves me, and has nothing to do with the Phoenix Clan. The Phoenix Clan must not be involved in the slightest."

Born with the black bird, descended to give birth to the Shang Dynasty, the black bird is Kong Xuan, but not the Phoenix Clan.

Emperor Xin nodded seriously, "Emperor Xin understands."

After a successful breakthrough and a matter of concern, Kong Xuan did not stay in Chaoge for a long time, but returned to the Immortal Volcano.

Although the war in the human world has not ended yet, with the foundation and strength of the Shang Dynasty, Kong Xuan really doesn't believe that he is not Xiqi's opponent. This battle will definitely win.

As for the immortal saints in the heavens, they cannot intervene because of the Taoist ancestor. It is meaningless for him to stay in Chaoge. It is better to return to the Phoenix Clan for retreat.

Tai Shi Wen Zhong led the elite of Chaoge to Tongguan and arrived at Tongguan in just half a month.

After arriving at Tongguan, he immediately summoned Huang Feihu, Huang Gun, Han Rong, Xu Fang and other veterans to discuss matters and formulate a series of ingenious plans, including the hidden tunnel in the northwest corner.

The next day, Huang Feihu led the army to attack Lintong Pass.

In Lintong Pass, with the death of Ji Chang, the army's morale was completely dispersed.

Fortunately, after such a long time of war with the Shang Dynasty, Ji Fa also accumulated a certain prestige, and finally relied on the connections left by Ji Chang to control the army!

In a hurry, they still mobilized a large army to fight Huang Feihu.

But the Xiqi army was exhausted, not well fed, not well dressed, and millions of troops were trapped in one city. They had not seen inspiring results for a long time, and they were listless.

On the other hand, the elite soldiers of Da Shang were full of energy, one against ten, and extremely powerful, plus several siege weapons developed by Da Shang.

So even if it was the attacking party, it was the Xiqi troops who fell down like wheat.

The two sides fought fiercely for a day and a night, one defending and the other attacking, and Huang Feihu retreated!

In this battle, Da Shang lost more than 10,000 troops and horses, and Xiqi lost more than 50,000 troops and horses, and Da Shang, as the attacking party, had already gained the upper hand.

After recuperating for three or five days, Huang Feihu led the army to attack the city again.

This time it lasted longer than the last time.

But the casualties were less than the last time, only 8,000 soldiers were lost, and the casualties of Xiqi were roughly around 30,000.

At Lintong Pass, in the meeting hall, Ji Fa's face was frighteningly gloomy.

On the table, all the generals were silent, the battle situation was too difficult!

Xiqi was now almost trapped in a jar, and it was too difficult to turn the tide against the wind, almost impossible.

"The only way now is to retreat." Ji Fa uttered a few words with difficulty, and the whole person felt relieved.

Retreat means to abandon all the captured Sishui Pass, Jiepai Pass, Chuanyun Pass, and Lintong Pass.

A pass is as strong as a city, and abandoning four passes is equivalent to abandoning four cities. Ji Fa's entanglement can be imagined.

But if he doesn't retreat, how long can he hold on here?

Every day's food and drink are astronomical figures. Only by escaping back to Xiqi and relying on the foundation of the Shang Dynasty can there be a glimmer of hope.

"Go down and make arrangements. Three days later, the whole army will retreat. Set fire to the place before retreating. Not a single brick or tile of Xiqi's things will be left to the Shang Dynasty."

"Yes."

The generals stood up and accepted the order, then left the hall one after another.

Ji Fa slumped down on the table and chair, exhaling a breath of foul air!

Go back to Xiqi, Xiqi, with the foundation of his Ji family's cultivation for so many years, there will definitely be a chance to make a comeback.

The next morning, in Tongguan, Huang Feihu found that the morale of Lintongguan was low, and he keenly realized that a great opportunity had come.

He sent out two teams that had been prepared, one led by Xu Fang and the other led by Han Rong, to use the strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking the west, and set the target on the northwest corner of the city gate.

It was night, and a full moon was in the sky, casting bright moonlight, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of silver frost.

The two teams of guards, all dressed in cloth, with sharp blades slung across their waists and cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, moved silently.

In just one hour, the guards led by Xu Fang sneaked into the northeast corner of the city gate.

The exit of the secret passage was in an inconspicuous hill.

Pushing the boulder away, you can see the northeast corner gate a hundred meters away.

The northeast corner gate is heavily guarded, with a large number of elite soldiers.

Xu Fang did not hesitate and led his guards to rush out from the secret passage.

In an instant, shouts and fighting were heard.

The general guarding the city was shocked and shouted, "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Soon, the sound spread throughout Lintong Pass. Bo Yikao was furious. He did not expect that there was such a hidden secret passage in Lintong Pass. He led the army to strangle.

On the other side, the guards led by Han Rong also quietly appeared at the entrance of the tunnel hundreds of meters away in the northwest corner.

Because the northwest corner gate is backed by Chuanyun Pass and is a place to retreat, the enemy needs to attack Huanglong from the front if they want to attack, so there are not many guards, only more than a thousand people.

Three hundred guards, each of them is very skilled, took advantage of the night and started the assassination!

When the first ray of sunlight between heaven and earth refracted onto the earth, a creaking sound was heard.

The northwest corner city gate suddenly opened, and then, the 10,000 iron cavalrymen led by Wen Zhong rushed in.

In an instant, Lintong Pass was in chaos, with sounds of fighting, cries for help, messages, and the collision of weapons.
