"It's ...... There are cultivators in the Great Merchant Army. Hou Yi gritted his teeth and said this conclusion.

At this time, the archers of the Great Merchants finally entered the firing range, and they opened their bows and arrows, their feet on the stirrups, their buttocks slightly raised, completely suspended in the air, and not in contact with the saddle, so that their bodies were more stable and would not be affected by the ups and downs of the horses.

"Woo Woo ......"

The nightmare of the Dongyi archers began again, and they fell into the dilemma of being able to shoot themselves alone, but they could not shoot their opponents.

The Dongyi archers knew that if they fought with bows and arrows again, they would only die in vain, so they drew their swords one after another, and accelerated their speed to approach the enemy, intending to rely on cavalry in close combat.

Who knew that this fulfilled the wish of the merchant army, and they were originally amateurs in riding and shooting, and what they were better at was to use the long gege in their hands to pick the other party under the horse.

So the big merchant archers also carried their longbows on their backs and took off the long ges placed on their saddles.

As soon as the cavalry of the two sides approached, all the Dongyi people were suddenly surprised that the cavalry of the Shang Dynasty was able to control the war horse without their hands, and freely made various offensive and defensive actions on horseback.

This kind of magical riding skill is only afraid that even the Inurong tribe who "grew up on horseback" can't do it, and because their hands are free, what they hold in their hands is no longer the same bronze sword as before, but Changge.

In the dust, the corpses of the Dongyi archers on the ground gradually increased, and many people did not get close to each other, so they watched as the other party stabbed Chang Ge into their chests from seven feet away.

At this time, the Dongyi people finally knew that the combat effectiveness of the merchant army in front of them was not what it used to be, far superior to their own, and they couldn't help but be frustrated, and they could only rely on a brave spirit to persevere.

Seeing that the elite was about to be lost, and the morale plummeted, Hou Yi couldn't fight for courage and ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Huang Feihu was willing to let go of such an opportunity, and immediately led the whole army to pursue, the merchant army pursued for more than ten miles, and captured countless baggage equipment, but because of the speed of Dongyi horses, most of the main forces escaped.

Since the battle against Dongyi, the Great Shang army won so happily for the first time, and the morale was suddenly greatly boosted, and from then on, Dongyi, in the eyes of the Great Shang soldiers, will no longer be a big trouble, but a disease of scabies that can be easily eliminated.

When the king of Xu, who led the Chinese army to come later, learned the news, he was immediately overjoyed, rewarded the meritorious soldiers, and the merchant army was stationed in Kancheng, Dongyuan, that night, to Jiang Huanchu's surprise, his son Jiang Wenhuan, who commanded the rear army, was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Huan Chu, who had been looking for his son in vain, had just entered the big tent of the Chinese army of King Xu, and saw a probe horse entering the tent and saying: "King Qiqi, Marshal Jiang of the Hou Army has sent a signal of good news." ”

Jiang Huanchu was surprised, isn't his son responsible for escorting materials and receiving work, why is there suddenly a "good news" at this time?

Listening to the spies' next report, Jiang Huan Chu's face changed again and again, and his gaze at the King became more and more awe-inspiring.

It turned out that on the one hand, the king of Xuan let Huang Feihu lead the front army to advance slowly and fight with the Dongyi army in Dongyuan, and on the other hand, he asked Jiang Wenhuan to lead a group of thousands of elite cavalry to bypass the large army at the fastest speed and go straight to the temporary camp of the various ethnic groups in Dongyi stationed in the rear.

This is exactly the usual attack tactics of the famous general Huo Qubing of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in later generations, Jiang Wenhuan really lived up to the expectations of the king of Xu, destroyed the camp of Dongyi in one fell swoop, and captured a large number of relatives and materials of the royal families of Dongyi.

When Huang Feihu, Zhang Guifang and others heard that the surprise attack was successful, they all looked overjoyed, and they admired the strange plot of the king of Xu.

That night, the king of Xuan had a feast, and at the same time celebrated the achievement, he also took this opportunity to express his heartfelt thanks to Kong Xuan and others for their help, and it can be said that without Kong Xuan and others, the battle with Dongyi would not have been so smooth.

This can be called a brilliant victory, Kong Xuan Dayi and Fu Xi can be said to account for eighty percent of the credit, although the others did not contribute much in this battle, but he believes that there will be a time when they will play a role in the future.

There is nothing to say about the next war, with the help of Kong Xuan and others, the merchant army is almost cheating, and it has the innate gossip defense of Fuxi, just like the merchant camp has a turtle shell on its body at any time, and it can only fight others by itself, and others can't hit themselves at all.

Later, Hou Yi released the three fierce beasts that he had ambushed, namely, the snake cultivator, the chisel tooth, and the gale, but they were destroyed by Dayi with one arrow, and it was not possible to kill mortals, but killing these fierce beasts not only did not damage the merits, but accumulated merits.

With the passage of time, the merchant army had more and more crossbows, and slowly equipped a large number of crossbowmen, and the Dongyi tribes, who were originally rampant with archery, were suddenly ravaged in what they were best at.

Hou Yi Yi'e couldn't, and the king said that if he didn't surrender, he would execute the captured relatives, so he had to surrender, they knew that the merchant army was no longer what it used to be, and it was no longer like before, they could only watch themselves plunder.

In the tent of the big merchant marshal, Hou Yi and Chang'e were tied with their hands and escorted into the account by the big merchant sergeant.

At this time, in the big tent, the king of Xuan sat in the handsome position, Kong Xuan and others stood or sat around the king of Zhou, and Huang Feihu, Jiang Huan Chu and others were separated from each other, they did not dare to be as casual as Kong Xuan and others.

Seeing that the two were escorted into the tent, everyone turned their eyes to the two, and Auntie served as a woman as the king of Youhu, but she was only in her early twenties.

Her facial features are beautiful, her figure is slender, concave and convex, and although her skin is not as fair as that of a big merchant woman, she is also smooth as satin, and has a rare wild beauty.

Rather than shy away from the aggressive gaze of the Emperor, she observed the long-known Imperial King.

Although she is located in the remote eastern Xinjiang, she has always attached importance to learning the advanced cultural knowledge of the Great Shang, especially the Confucian doctrine promoted by the current Great King Emperor Xin, which made her admired, and she has long wanted to see the demeanor of this virtuous king, but she did not expect to meet in this situation.

Is that the legendary king of virtue and wisdom the world the same as this handsome man in front of him? I didn't expect him to be so young, but unfortunately the two sides are friends and foes, and both sides are surprised by each other's youth.

The king was looking at the beauty, but Kong Xuan and the others set their eyes on Hou Yi, and then turned their heads to look at Dayi.

Dayi had already stood up at this time, walked in front of Hou Yi, and asked with a smile: "Your name is Hou Yi?"

Although Hou Yi was a prisoner at this time, he was still arrogant, tilted his head slightly, and said: "If you don't change your name or change your surname, I am Hou Yi." ”

Dayi nodded, and then asked, "Why did you name yourself Houyi?" I heard that you didn't call this name before. ”

Hou Yi glanced at Dayi, and said proudly: "I Dongyi is a descendant of Jiuli, with Wu blood, I heard that there was a big witch named Dayi in the Wu clan back then, with a bow and arrow in his hand, shot down Jiuri, known as the first archery master in the wilderness." ”

"Coincidentally, I am also the first marksman in Dongyi today, although I don't have the ability to shoot the sun, but I can also ambush the fierce beast with arrows, so after I think of Dayi, I named Houyi, why not?"

"Hahahaha......"

Everyone in the tent burst into laughter, and Dayi himself was also laughing, which annoyed Hou Yi, and shouted angrily: "What do you mean? Don't you look down on my Wu clan archers?

The king laughed a few more times, waved his hand at Hou Yi and said, "It's not that you look down on the archery skills of the Wu clan, but because after you keep saying that you recognize Dayi, you don't know that the Dayi Wu, whom you admire, stands in front of you." ”

"What? you...... Are you ......" Hou Yi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Dayi in disbelief, even his aunt was the same.

Dayi smiled slightly, flipped his hand, and the Pangu bow appeared in his hand, and said with a smile: "It was this bow that shot down the nine days in your mouth, of course, the three fierce beasts you summoned also died under this bow, how about it?"

"Uh...... This...... This ......"

"Hahahaha......"

Looking at Hou Yi's incomparable reverence and bewildered look, everyone laughed again, and then King Xuan waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to untie Hou Yi and Chang'e.

Hou Yi immediately bowed down to Dayi and begged him to accept him as an apprentice, but Dayi did not agree, but told him about the general trend of the operation of the Heavenly Dao, so that he understood the reason why the Wu clan was abandoned by the Heavenly Dao.

After Hou Yi listened to Dayi's words, his thoughts about leading Dongyi to become the king and hegemony were completely dispersed, and he himself is now a prisoner of the ranks, where is there still a chance to be the king and hegemon?

If it weren't for Dayi's presence today, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to survive, but under the way of heaven, we are just ants after all!

After the king waited for Dayi and Hou Yi to share the general trend of heaven and earth, he opened his mouth and asked in a harmonious voice: "King Hou Yi, King Hou E, are you willing to lead the Dongyi clan to submit to my great business?"

Hou Yi's attitude has been very clear, it is because the eyes of the king are actually on Xi'e.

Chang'e sighed and said, "God doesn't bless me Dongyi, and Chang'e has nothing to say." ”

When the king heard this, he shook his head and said: "The queen's sentence 'God does not bless Dongyi' is really bad, the widow will ask you first, if the widow raises a lot to pacify Dongyi, how does the queen think the widow will treat the Dongyi tribes?"

"Dongyi and the Great Shang have been enemies for generations, if the Great King really wins, the people of our clan will definitely become the slaves of the Great Shang......" Ao E thought for a while and said a reasonable answer, although this was something she was unwilling to face.

The king shook his head solemnly and said, "The queen is very wrong in what she said, could it be that the queen doesn't know that slavery has long been abolished by the widows?

Hearing this, she smiled bitterly and said: "My Dongyi is located on the border, although it is near the sea and has a vast territory, it is a barren land, extremely desolate, the life of all ethnic groups is difficult, and the people of the tribe have died of hunger and disease. ”

"The main reason for raising troops to commit crimes is to accumulate grudges for many years, and there is a suspicion of ambition, and the main reason is to plunder grain and cloth, and our people are good at moving and not good at guarding, and they are also self-aware, and they have always only seized materials and did not dare to take the city. ”

The king nodded, his eyes flashed, his body leaned forward slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What if the widow is willing to educate in the borderlands, relieve the sufferings of all ethnic groups, and make Dongyi live a prosperous life?"

Auntie was shocked, her eyes were round, and even Hou Yi looked at King Su in amazement.
