This is just after passing the Bishui Pass, that is, just out of the dangerous pass of Chaoge, outside the guard, the west has already encountered the enemy.

It was the army of the Zhou Dynasty that cut down the merchants. This time, the army was not divided into three routes, but only took the middle road, claiming to be 800,000, in fact, a total of 250,000 soldiers, in addition to the old soldiers left over from the last war, there were nearly 120,000 new soldiers. The training of new soldiers is less than four months, and they can understand some military drills, use some weapons, and their morale will be imminent.

On the other hand, the Chaoge army, which is also claimed to be 800,000 but actually only 200,000, although it is not as neat as the elite before, it is still full of regular professional soldiers. Combat power continues to crush the enemy.

This time, Jiang Ziya's confidence in his heart was much more than the previous one, Lu Jian was still in the army, and the twelve golden immortals were all saved because of the last sage's action. Now after four months of repair, although it is unknown what the mentality is, the state of cultivation has returned to its previous heyday.

Moreover, not only did such a large number of middle and low-level cultivators also come to serve in the army, it can be said that the quality of Jiang Ziya's command at the overall monk level has far exceeded that of the previous war.

Look at the Chaoge army on the opposite side. That Kong Xuan was hit by the saint, even if he was lucky enough not to die, he would definitely be seriously injured. In addition, the previous battle of Vaxi was unsuccessful, and the momentum must have been frustrated. If he can have the opportunity, then he will directly wave his troops to the Bianshui Pass, so that the princes of the world can take a look, and the power of the Zhou Dynasty is not boasted.

When encountering on both sides, neither chose to start a war immediately, and both had their own careful thoughts. Wen Zhong's side retreated to the Bishui Pass, ten miles away from the pass, and camped, almost covering the narrow valley floor in front of the pass.

And Jiang Ziya's department did not dare to easily approach the terrain advantage range of Bishui Pass, and set up a barracks thirty miles away from the valley mouth.

After a day of confrontation between the hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides, they began to test each other.

In this kind of situation where the army is far away, there is no means such as surprise attacks, and there is no room for display. It is a meticulous game in a small area within an effective battlefield. Starting with horse exploration, then to sporadic skirmishes to tentative attacks on the left and right flanks.

Little by little, whoever can stabilize these temptations and destroy more of the enemy's living forces will have some advantage in the next Armageddon or head-on battle. Of course, the probability of winning or losing these advantages is not very high, but it is better to accumulate a little advantage than a disadvantage, right?

Facing Wen Zhong, who has been in battle for a long time and has old and spicy methods, although Jiang Ziya is also a hero, he still looks a little immature.

In the early stage of mutual temptation, Jiang Ziya was half a beat slower than Wen Zhong in almost all details, and he was always in a state of suppression, and it was impossible to use high-level monks during the temptation, so a little bit of disadvantage was accumulated under the impetus of many aspects.

More than 1,600 casualties were imposed. This was the loss after the first contact with the Shang Dynasty army in the battle of the Shang Dynasty commanded by Jiang Ziya. On the side of the Shang Dynasty, the casualties were less than one-third of those of the Zhou Dynasty.

It's not that Jiang Ziya is not self-aware, but that Wen Zhong's geographical location forced Jiang Ziya to choose to fight with him for details full of disadvantages.

And Jiang Ziya also understood that if this kind of dispute over details continued, the momentum of the middle and low-level soldiers in his hands would be hit badly. In this way, he had to think about taking the lead in taking the lead in taking the initiative to seek a decisive battle.

If you show your cards first, you will definitely be held hostage by the enemy, but there is no better choice in the current situation. This is the disadvantage brought about by the disparity in strength at the grassroots level.

Therefore, on the fifth day of the dispute over the details of the confrontation between the two sides, Jiang Ziya opened the gate of the village, led the whole army to set off in formation, and stopped at less than five miles from the mouth of the valley, intending to use the sudden opening of the army to block the area of the Shang Dynasty army as much as possible, so that the narrow valley that was originally beneficial to the Shang Dynasty would become the hostage of the Shang Dynasty army.

The abacus played well, but Wen Zhong didn't care, he had expected it. Don't go to the battle at all, stick to the valley, if you want to fight, then hit in, anyway, this time Lao Tzu will not start a big army with you.

In this way, Jiang Ziya was uncomfortable again. The valley must have been ambushed and all kinds of means were prepared, and these newly recruited soldiers were bound to suffer heavy casualties, and the blow to the momentum was immeasurable.

If you don't go in, go back and continue to slowly consume with Wen Zhong, but the key is that if you consume it, he can't consume it.

"Ziya doesn't need to worry. Let's go find out first. ”

It was Hiroshiko who spoke. This one of the twelve golden immortals who was captured alive last time now no longer has the invincible attitude he had before, and he is a lot more cautious. Faced with the stalemate of the battle situation, he knew that it was best to send a group of high-level monks to test and open the stalemate from the level of high-level monks. And once the high-ranking monks achieved the results of the battle, they could continue to oppress the Shang army and force them out of the valley for a decisive battle.

"Senior brother, you must be careful here, it is still unknown whether Kong Xuan is still in the enemy army now, so if you can't do anything, you hope to retreat immediately. Jiang Ziya pondered for a moment, and he could only let Guang Chengzi and them try it first. But I also caution against it.

So the twelve golden immortals appeared on the battlefield again, still twelve peers, under the ferocious and vast mana fluctuations, it was indeed extremely terrifying. The oppressive force that brought to Taniguchi and the Shang Dynasty army in the valley was extremely shocking. But oppressive force does not mean oppressive force, nor does it mean that there is deterrent power.

The idea of the Shang Dynasty soldiers was very simple: Your twelve golden immortals are powerful, more powerful than most of the monks in the army. But so what? Haven't we all been captured alive before?

The mentality is very good, but in the face of the twelve golden immortals, it is the three fairies of the Three Immortals Island who are the first.

These three fairies don't have a good temper. And it's not like they came to Wen Zhong to help Wen Zhong win, they came to take revenge and kill someone!

Their righteous brother Zhao Gongming also has an identity, and when he captured these twelve golden immortals in the first place, he also betrayed your face in expounding the two sects, right? You didn't kill the killer immediately, did you? It's good that you attracted a land pressure, and directly killed their righteous brother under the sneak attack, which is really insidious and shameless!

Now that you have all torn your faces, the three of them are not afraid, they are just killing, and the master of the dignified Three Immortal Island is no worse than anyone else!

"Twelve Golden Immortals, phew! a bunch of shameless, shameless sneak attacks of earth dogs. Our brother spared your life that day, which is considered a bargain for you. Leave your lives behind today."

Guang Chengzi and the other twelve golden immortals heard the sound first, and then saw three figures flashing out, and their hearts were not good. The people who came were actually the three fairies of the Three Immortals Island, who came to avenge Zhao Gongming?
