Tongtian shrank, and Sanxiao followed in the footsteps of their eldest brother Zhao Gongming. The quasi-saint Kong Xuan is nowhere to be found. The entire army of Chaoge was filled with an atmosphere that seemed to be depressed and depressing.

Wen Zhong is not afraid of fighting a serious war, he has been fighting horses for so many years, what changes have he never seen in the battle array?

But the situation facing the Shang Dynasty now is not a matter of war at all. The posture that the armies on both sides are now putting on is actually all a façade. In the past, it was possible to balance or pull out the overall advantage through the advantage in the battle formation, but now it is not realistic.

The three saints fought hard, but in the end they were stirred up by an illusory shadow that fell from the sky. It is not clear who that phantom is, but it can be seen that the three saints called "teacher" in unison.

When Tongtian left, the explanation to all the sect disciples was already obvious. Let them do their best, if it doesn't work, then don't force it. In other words, Tongtian said that there would be no more direct help, and everything else would depend on the disciples.

It's not wrong to rely on disciples, and it's not uncommon for the sect to intercept the sect. But the current situation is that the sect relies on the disciples on the side of the sect, and the two sects on the other side of the human interpretation are on the saints!

Look at the original sword that forced Kong Xuan back, so that the battle of the expedition to the west ended without a problem, and now Sanxiao, who had already won a stable victory, was inexplicably sent to the god list by the sage's teacher. The rest of Kong Xuan didn't know why, and he didn't know where to go. This series of facts has proved that the saints of the two religions will not take care of the slightest, once the disciples of the two religions can't beat them, the saints will directly take action, and they will bully you to intercept the teachings.

Wen Zhong also understood Tongtian's difficulty, after all, the attitude of the previous sage teacher was obvious. It is impossible to pass through the sky. However, the civil war of the Shang Dynasty left behind, as well as the competition for the luck of the sect and Taoism, made Wen Zhong unable to see even the slightest hope.

Kong Xuan's departure, the only high-end power left in Wen Zhong's hands was gone. In the face of the Zhou Dynasty army with land pressure, the victory or defeat was already clear.

It's also unwilling.

Sect Interception disciples, including Wen Zhong, no one would care about the power of the Shang Dynasty, let alone King Shou who was still sitting in the imperial city of Chaoge. What they care about is the luck that this vast empire brings, and the foundation of the sect that can be blessed by these huge fortunes.

The world is difficult, and living beings have their own lives, which is the best reason of heaven. What do you do when it's your turn to be in the midst of bad luck? Grit your teeth and fight to the death? It's not worth it. So luck is the key. Because of the blessing of luck, when your bad luck comes, there will always be a turning point and the help of charcoal in the snow, so that you will not die for a lifetime.

This is the basis for the denomination to sustain and unite the monks. Once the foundation of the sect's Dao Qi and Fortune begins to float or be damaged, then the greatest thoughts and hopes of the disciples in the sect will become uncertain. This is a major event that is closely related to every disciple, regardless of their cultivation.

So I have to fight!

Standing on the arrow tower of Bishui Pass, Wen Zhong looked at it from afar. The long canyon is now full of tents. This is not the camping position that the besieging side should choose in a normal war. Because the steep mountain walls on both sides limit the space, once it encounters a fire attack, the company camp will be burned down. But now the Zhou Dynasty has done just that, and he is not worried about the defenders setting fire to it.

Now that the huge advantage of the monks has reached the side of the Zhou Dynasty, where would they worry about any mundane means such as fire attacks? Who would be able to make trouble under the divine thought of Lu Pressure? Even in the eyes of the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty, the majestic Bishui Pass in front of them was just a piece of paper-paste garbage, and the monks could collapse it with a few small means of earthquakes.

The reason why he camped in the valley and did not choose to continue the attack was Jiang Ziya's consideration. What he needs to think about now is not only to win the civil war of the Shang Dynasty, but also to consider minimizing the consumption of the Zhou Dynasty soldiers, and at the same time trying to put pressure on the Chaoge soldiers. It also took time to publicize the report of his defeat at Wen Zhong in front of the Bishui Pass and forced him to retreat to the pass, so as to gain more support from the princes.

Under the all-round advantage, Jiang Ziya felt that he was fully capable and qualified to play something outside the battlefield. These were also some of the calculations he felt he could defeat the Shang Dynasty more quickly and at the same time lay the foundation for the Zhou Dynasty's rule.

Bishui Pass, Xiongguan is still the same, but morale has fallen irrepressibly to the bottom.

"Senior brother, what do you think about this battle?" Wen Zhong asked Shen Gongbao for his opinion on the battle formation for the first time. Because in his mind, he already felt that the situation had reached a dead end.

But Shen Gongbao is not omnipotent, and Kong Xuan's departure surprised him deeply. But he felt that Kong Xuan would not be the timid and fearful person, and there must be other reasons for leaving. But right now, he couldn't find a friend who could enter Kong Xuan and suppress such a strong monk as Lu Jian in the army of the Zhou Dynasty opposite.

"Senior brother, with all due respect, there is actually no choice left in this battle so far. There is a high imbalance in power, and the strength of the soldiers alone is no longer useful. It's better to fight and retreat, spend some time, and maybe there will be a turnaround. ”

"Turnaround?" Wen Zhongmeng looked back at the Eshen Gongbao beside him. He was also disheartened just now, and his mood was a little broken, so he subconsciously asked Shen Gongbao. But I don't want Shen Gongbao to suddenly come up with the word "turnaround". You must know that there is no way to solve the current situation even for his Tongtian Master, where did Shen Gongbao see the turnaround?

Shen Gongbao shook his head, not knowing how to explain it or whether he could explain it.

Kong Xuan's departure was full of doubts, and he instinctively thought of what Kong Xuan had told him about a game of chess outside the chess game, and he felt that it must have something to do with that outside game. And he knew that even if the Tongtian Sect Master was forced to be coerced, the person who arranged the outside game would definitely not just watch the situation of the sect being cut off. This is the source of his confidence in the word "turnaround", although it is not strong.

Hearing that Shen Gongbao didn't know how to explain, his heart jumped violently, so doesn't it mean that Shen Gongbao didn't just talk about it, but did see some turning points?

"Senior brother, I won't ask more. According to you, can you be sure that you will wait until that turning point comes?"

"Senior brother, I'm just guessing about the turnaround, although there should be, but I don't know when. So, you're the manager, you plan ahead. ”

Wen Zhong knew this. His eyes instantly radiated a new fighting spirit from the defeat just now. He believes in Shen Gongbao, and he also believes that he will not lose so unexplained and aggrieved. He wants to delay some more time for the entire sect interception, in exchange for the slightest turning point that Shen Gongbao said.

Of course, even if it still can't change the situation in the end, Wen Zhong doesn't blame anyone, just being on the god list, how bad can it be?
