Heizhong and Gai Nie held their swords and coldly watched the ongoing military discussion.
After being trained by Fang Yuan, they now had almost invincible courage. They were accepted by Wang Zipan without hesitation, and were hired as guest ministers, and could even participate in discussions of this level.
Even if you only have the qualification to attend, it is enough to make many low-level scholar-bureaucrats envious.
"The leader of the Dongyi coalition this time is the Nine Fierce Tribe. Its members have hair and patterns on their faces and use copper as soldiers. They are very fierce... The Nine Fierce are the largest tribe of Dongyi. This time, all the people are soldiers, with 30,000 soldiers. The leader He proclaimed himself the King of Dongyi and became the leader of each tribe..."
"At this time, the Dongyi army, numbering 80,000, had invaded Dashang, occupied the two cities of Hui and Ye, and massacred them both."
"My army has arrived at Huai Shui, and we will confront them in three days!"
…
Prince Pan, wearing the uniform of Uncle Fang, said with high spirits: "Good! Our army of Great Shang is a strong force that has fought hundreds of battles. It is unified under orders. If the enemy enters our territory and looting becomes common, military discipline will inevitably be ruined. As long as we set up our formations and fight openly, , we will win!"
After saying these words, many mature and prudent nobles nodded secretly.
Dashang's national power will still surpass Dongyi's. This time, as long as they don't take risks and play it steady, there is almost no possibility of failure.
Even Heizhong and Gai Nie admired him very much. Such a method of doing things lightly and not doing heavy work was indeed methodical and righteous.
"When our army is camping, we must lay a solid foundation and separate the divisions and brigades... In addition, arrange for personnel to keep vigil to prevent barbarians from attacking at night!"
Wang Zipan had obviously thought up a plan for a long time, and now every word he spoke out had a lot of feasibility. With the help of other ministers and officials, a strict plan was quickly formed.
"Based on this, with Wang Zipan leading the army, Dashang will undoubtedly win... Why is the teacher worried?"
Gai Nie looked at this scene and thought silently. Suddenly, his eyebrows raised.
Jingle Bell!
In his arms, the sky-blue long sword chirped without the wind, shocking everyone.
"Someone!"
Gai Nie didn't even think about it and stabbed straight with his sword.
call out!
A streak of ice sword energy emerged, sank into the ground, and shot up a blood arrow.
Bang!
A human head flew out of the soil and landed on the ground. The expressions of Wang Zipan and others changed rapidly: "There is an assassin!"
"Mr. Gai Nie's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world. With the sword energy in his hand, no one can defeat him within a hundred steps!"
Many officials turned pale at first, and then immediately praised Ge Nie, almost touting him as the best swordsman of the Great Shang.
Little did he know that Gai Nie's retraction of the sword was a bit strange.
He felt very clearly that the sword strike just now was not his own initiative, but the long sword in his hand seemed to have spirituality, dragging him to find the enemy!
"Is this what the teacher often said about using a man to control a sword? Is there any difference between using a sword to control a person?"
Gai Nie thought silently.
"This must be the Dongyi assassin!"
Someone looked at the head carefully, saw the black tattoo on the other person's face, and immediately made a conclusion.
Kurozuka and Gai Nie looked at each other, but they saw the solemn look in the other's eyes.
Although the person is from Dongyi, this method of escaping from the ground is very rare, and it seems to be done on purpose.
…
Because Wang Zipan was assassinated, even though there was no danger, the vigilance in the entire military camp was increased several points.
On the second day, the vanguard of Dashang suddenly encountered the Dongyi soldiers.
Ahead, a small city was billowing with thick smoke, blood and fire reaching into the sky, and a large number of faint cries could be heard.
"Damn it! It's too late!"
Doctor Lian was in charge of more than a thousand people at this time. Looking at the burning city in front of him, he gritted his teeth and said: "Keep moving forward. If you see the Dongyi people, kill them without mercy!"
"promise!"
The army slowly moved forward, and not long after, a group of Dongyi people rushed out from the chaotic city. They were wearing various animal skins, savage appearance, multiple tattoos, and brandishing various weapons. They were killing like wild beasts. .
"The barbarians invaded our borders and killed my people. This is an irreconcilable hatred and we should kill them all!"
Lian roared. Seeing hundreds of barbarians who were so angry that they dared to charge directly into the formation, he was also furious: "Attack!"
After all, he had more sense than Dong Yi. Even though he was angry, he was calm and ordered the archers to attack first, shooting a hail of arrows.
Poof!
Among the Dongyi people, blood spattered, and each barbarian fell to the ground and turned into a hedgehog. Finally, their somewhat fanatical minds were awakened, and they knew that the army in front of them was different from the civilians who could be slaughtered wantonly.
"Infantry on!"
At the command, Evil Body took the lead and swooped forward brandishing a copper hammer.
At this time, he only felt that his original divine power had been increased, almost endlessly, and he danced the copper hammer into a whirlwind, turning all the barbarians into meat patties wherever it passed.
"Ha ha!"
Evil laughed loudly and let the bronze sword strike him. Although he had no defense at all, it still made a sound like a bell.
"This is the fight I want!"
He smiled ferociously and brought down the copper hammer, and the Dongyi man stabbing his sword on the opposite side immediately turned into a meat pie.
This man seemed to be a leader too. Seeing that he was dead, the original Dongyi people immediately dispersed and fled into the city screaming.
"This city was newly established and the Dongyi people dispersed, making it difficult to unite... This is a huge opportunity!"
Lian's eyes flashed: "Drive them into the city and kill all the Dongyi people!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Evil understood what his father meant. He took the lead and was invulnerable. Like a demon, he drove the Dongyi people into the city and completely destroyed the discipline that had been barely maintained.
"Although the Dongyi people are more numerous than my vanguard, they are now scattered and only have bronze and iron weapons, jewelry and women in sight. How much strength do they have left?"
Without hesitation, Lian rushed into the city with these collapsed soldiers and started killing them!
His prediction was accurate. The Dongyi people were already weak in discipline. After the massacre of the city, they had no scruples anymore. Soldiers wearing silk and holding women holding earthen jars could be seen everywhere on the streets. In front of the formation, he was simply vulnerable.
At dusk, when darkness fell, the entire city had hung up the black bird flag again, and the original fire was quickly extinguished.
"Father!"
Evil waved his arms excitedly: "In this battle, we defeated ten thousand people of Dongyi with one against ten! We killed more than a thousand people and recovered the city. Father must have made a great contribution!"
"Haha... Idiot, what's the credit? It's Uncle Fang's final decision. How can you interfere?"
Lian chuckled, obviously in a good mood, and noticed the damage to Sin's clothes. They were obviously scratches from axes, exposing smooth skin, and he couldn't help but frown again: "My son should be more careful!"
"Don't worry, my master teaches me the Dharma, and I am invulnerable. Looking at the world, who can kill me?"
Evil smiled proudly, like a reckless man who didn't know the heights of the world.
"well… "
Seeing this scene, Lian could only sigh helplessly.
…
"The forwards of the two armies are handing over. Will Dongyi be defeated first?"
Not long after, the news spread. Mo Ge was squatting in a cave, with a vicious look on his face: "No! We can't let the merchant army go on so smoothly!"
He knew his master's plan.
The Shang army can win, but it must be a tragic victory that takes a long time, or even a huge defeat, the elite is lost, and even Prince Pan dies here, which is even better.
But at this moment, it seemed that Shang Jun actually had such an unstoppable flavor, how could he not be frightened
"The assassin last time was also useless. He was killed before he could achieve the feat of size. It was in vain that I spent so much effort and forcefully sent him to the military camp!"
Mo Ge stood up, walked out of the cave, and looked at the merchant camp in the distance.
I saw that there were layers upon layers, very organized, majestic and dignified, like a mountain. I couldn't help but feel even more frightened. I bowed respectfully to the person next to me: "We still need to ask the sword master to take action!"
This man has an unattractive appearance, but his eyes are like stars. He is holding a simple long sword. He is the Sword Master Cao Qiu!
Hearing this, thunder and lightning flashed in his pupils: "The Marquis of Western Zhou has been very kind to me, and Qiu Wu can't repay him, but he is willing to be an assassin... But this is the last time!"
How could a swordsman like him be willing to be controlled by others in the future
"Of course... Gong Ziwu said that as long as you take Wang Zipan's head, all the past events will be wiped out!"
Mo Ge's face twitched.
"good!"
Cao Qiu was silent for a long time, like a statue.
I don't know when, his voice slowly floated into Mo Ge's ears: "But you... must go with us!"
"This is natural!"
Mo Ge gritted his teeth and agreed.
Although he is proficient in the Five Elements Escape Technique, breaking into the military camp is by no means an easy task.
Of course, because this assassination was a sure thing, or simply because of An Caoqiu's heart, he couldn't refuse at all.
"With the sword master's bravery, as long as he can sneak into the commander's tent, Wang Zipan will definitely die, right?"
Mo Ge silently cheered himself up.
As for how Cao Qiu escaped after killing the prince, and how his disciples would face the subsequent anger of the Shang Dynasty, they were not within his scope of consideration.
…
This night will definitely not be peaceful.
Just when Mo Ge and Cao Qiu were about to launch a wave attack, Fang Yuan also came to the front line to meet someone.
The name of the person is a bit inaccurate. It should be said... a god!
Although it is an ordinary dense forest, with the arrival of the divine realm, everything around it has changed.
With fighting and fighting, bloodshed and chaos, the original jungle seemed to have turned into a huge battlefield.
One by one, warriors with tall stature and amazing magical powers roared like tigers and fought with another army.
"This is... the scene of the original Wu Xia struggle for hegemony!"
Fang Yuanruo had some enlightenment and saw the scene where the Wu clan was bleeding all over the ground and the situation was about to collapse. He couldn't help but sneered again: "You still can't let go, Zun Shen?"
Buzz!
In an instant, flowers were falling from the sky and golden lotuses were pouring from the ground.
The original battlefield disappeared, and only a ball of golden light slowly fell and turned into a human form.
Although Fang Yuan had seen the complete form of Soldier Master Chi, this was the first time he had seen this ordinary human form.
I saw a middle-aged man standing in the distance, wearing golden armor, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked very heroic, with indescribable charm, and looked directly over with shining eyes.
