Makino Yangyang.
The allied forces of the Western Zhou Dynasty formed a square formation, with Western Zhou warriors as the main body. At the front were thousands of chariots.
These are the sharp weapons used by the princes in their conquests. According to reports, most of Dashang's chariots were taken away by Prince Pan and used to conquer Dongyi.
When other princes saw this scene, their confidence increased greatly.
But when they saw Dashang's army, their expressions changed again.
Wow!
Xuanniao's flag was spread high, and a black line suddenly appeared on the horizon, coming like a tide. They were all black-clad Shang Dynasty troops. Judging from the number, there were more than one hundred thousand
Boom!
The war drums roared like thunder, and the array in front immediately became commotion.
"At this point in time, the Great Shang still has some energy left... It can be seen from the fact that Emperor Xin can easily arm a hundred thousand people and slaves!"
On a high hill, the Marquis of Western Zhou looked at this scene, first sighed, and then burst into laughter.
"Why is my father laughing?"
Gong Ziwu looked at the dense formation of the merchant army, his palms became a little sweaty.
"I laugh at the fact that the Shang Dynasty still has a lot of energy, but it has encountered such a Shang king. Isn't God going to destroy it?" The Marquis of Western Zhou laughed non-stop: "The people of the country can use it. If Emperor Xin swears to defend the city to the death, he may be able to fight with us. , and even delayed it until reinforcements arrived, but now, fighting in the wild is just a way to die!"
A trained warrior is different from a peasant slave after all!
The Marquis of Western Zhou saw clearly that although the armed slaves had strong armor and sharp halberds, their eyes were full of confusion.
In this state, it's okay to fight a smooth battle, but if we really want to fight, I'm afraid it won't even be as good as the scattered armies of the princes.
"At noon, please tell my general that the Western Zhou army is stationed behind the high ground and orders other princes to attack!"
The Marquis of Western Zhou raised his sword and issued an order.
"promise!"
Young Master Wu went down to deliver the order. Not long after, war drums roared on both sides. Thousands of chariots from the allied forces of the princes rushed into the formation, roaring towards the merchant army like sharp spearheads.
Seeing this scene, a commotion immediately broke out among the merchants, mostly foot soldiers.
"Don't retreat, anyone who retreats will die!"
Di Xin roared, drove his chariot, and charged bravely to the first one: "People of Xuanniao, charge with me!"
Behind him, the great witch Zhu arrived, suddenly cut his wrist and sprinkled his blood on the ground: "Warriors, I bless you! The remaining energy of the Shang Dynasty will be with you!"
Along with the mantras and prayers, the Shang army suddenly felt that their hearts were full of courage. Even the most timid slaves screamed and charged towards the chariot.
The body of Da Wu Zhu also began to age rapidly. Almost in the blink of an eye, he turned into a gray-haired old man, maintaining a praying posture and losing his breath.
Even if he is the great witch Zhu of the Shang Dynasty, he only casts a trivial suggestion technique, but the burden brought by using it on the battlefield of this level will make him die immediately.
Moreover, this suggestion technique is not necessarily effective. The most important thing is that the merchants have the intention to fight, and Di Xin takes the lead to boost morale.
Without these foreshadowings, even if the Great Witch Zhu sacrifices himself, it will not have this effect.
Wow!
The wheels rolled, and the two torrents collided fiercely.
"die!"
Di Xin roared angrily, waving the golden sword in his hand, and the enemy in front was immediately separated from his head.
Seeing that he was invincible, the merchant army roared and also attacked the car formation. Even the army, which was mainly infantry, gradually suppressed the convoy. This was simply an incredible thing.
"Husband fights with courage!"
At this time, Fang Yuan stood in the clouds, silently watching this scene, which was also Dashang's last remaining exit.
No matter what, King Shang must die!
This is the prerequisite for the achievement of the general trend, and even he cannot stop it.
"To reverse the general trend, it is like releasing a flood. The resistance to directly block it is too great. We must release it layer by layer, weaken its strength, and finally turn the tide with the final blow!"
Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with golden light, as if he had passed through the heavy fog and seen the truth behind his fate.
"Father!"
Looking at this scene, even Gong Ziwu's eyes turned black and his hands and feet were cold.
"It doesn't matter!"
The Marquis of Western Zhou looked at the terrain with a sneer on his face: "The great merchants are unethical, and I beg God to punish them!"
"God's punishment?" Gong Ziwu stared at his father in confusion, almost thinking that he was stunned.
Boom!
But the next moment, a thunderous sound came from the edge of the battlefield, like thousands of horses galloping.
Wow!
A stream of turbid water, a vast water, came overwhelmingly.
Di Xin, who was beheading a general from the feudal lords, raised his head and looked at this scene, but he was completely confused.
The next moment, the rolling torrent rolled over the allied forces of the great merchants and princes without any hindrance, causing screams and screams. Even the most heroic warriors could only tremble under the power of heaven and earth.
The Dashang army, which had the upper hand, was immediately smashed to pieces.
Even the Shang King Di Xin could only escape with his own life under the protection of his personal followers.
Behind him, the main army of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which had long been prepared and relied on the terrain to escape the flood, prepared bamboo rafts and wooden rafts and began to march along the waterway and beat up the drowned dogs.
"Heaven is going to kill me!"
When Emperor Xin saw this scene, he spurted out a mouthful of blood. He was surrounded by a group of defeated soldiers and retreated into Shang Yi.
"Tsk tsk... Sure enough, the human-male collusion!"
Fang Yuan could clearly see it from mid-air. In the direction of the flood, the Five Elements Purple Phoenix led a group of great demons and directly activated the water veins, resulting in the spectacular scene of seven armies being flooded.
"Surge into Shang Yi and capture Emperor Xin alive!"
The Marquis of Western Zhou Dynasty looked at this scene with a blush on his face, and suddenly drew his sword and gave orders.
"Surge into Shang Yi and capture Emperor Xin alive!"
"Surge into Shang Yi and capture Emperor Xin alive!"
The morale of the Western Zhou army was greatly boosted and they rushed towards Shangyi.
Gong Ziwu was mixed in among them, but he felt that his heart was as cold as the heavy snow in winter: "The seven armies were flooded. Not only the Great Shang army, but the previous coalition forces of the princes were also decoys... Even the father deliberately sacrificed them to weaken the strength of the princes. Ensure that the main trunk is stronger than each branch in the future... "
With the power of victory and the flood attack, the Western Zhou army entered Shang Yi almost without any hindrance, and immediately attacked the palace.
Unfortunately, they were a step too late.
A thick plume of black smoke slowly rose from the palace. It was clearly the Shang King, Emperor Xin, who was desperate and raised fire to kill him!
Naturally, the military discipline of the ancient army cannot be compared with that of modern times.
Even the so-called rebels and kings' masters and their ilk also experienced plunder and other incidents wherever they passed.
Not long after, the affluent commercial city was surrounded by war, and it seemed to have turned into a purgatory on earth.
"noon!"
The Marquis of Western Zhou who entered the merchant town saw this scene and frowned: "Restrain the sergeants immediately. The remnants of the violent merchants have not been wiped out. How can you be so slack?"
The implication is that even if you want to plunder, you must have rules and discipline.
"promise!"
Gong Ziwu fell to the ground.
"Also... find Di Xin's body. Even if he can't find it, we must replace it with a charred corpse. I will cut off his head and sacrifice it to heaven to show the change of destiny!"
There was a subtle change in the tone of the Marquis of Western Zhou.
"well… "
Fang Yuan watched this scene silently.
In the thick smoke, the broken black bird that originally guarded the city finally fell completely and turned into blue smoke.
"Destiny..."
Fang Yuan closed his eyes.
Even though the relationship has long since been severed, I still feel a little disappointed at this moment.
…
South of Shangyi.
"Father... Shang Yi!"
The 50,000-strong army arrived. The prince looked at this scene with eyes wide open.
On the way to the army, he heard the news from the Western Zhou Dynasty. He had already accelerated his march, but unexpectedly, he was still a step late.
"Your Highness! It's not too late, please counterattack quickly!"
Gai Nie reminded from the side: "Also...the Western Zhou army has the help of the demon phoenix. No one can match it except the teacher!"
"I know it!"
Prince Pan wiped his tears. After all, he was very human. He immediately ordered someone to put on the incense table and lit the incense sticks given by Fang Yuan before: "Pan begged Sir to take action, but if you ask for anything, you will not refuse!"
Immediately, regardless of whether Fang Yuan replied or not, he looked at the mall with blood-red eyes: "Enter the merchant city! Revenge! Revenge!"
"kill!"
Most of the 50,000 elite men under his command were residents of merchant towns and die-hard merchants. When they saw their hometown being burned, their eyes were filled with tears: "Charge!"
Boom!
The war drums roared, and the momentum was earth-shattering.
Gong Ziwu's heart sank, he climbed up and looked far away, and immediately broke out in cold sweat: "It's Wang Zipan's southern expedition army... It's unexpectedly arrived so soon! Prepare to meet the enemy quickly!"
Unfortunately, his order seemed to come a little too late.
The army of the Western Zhou Dynasty fought continuously and exhausted their energy. At this time, they entered the city and looted the city again, and they had already dispersed.
In ancient times, under such circumstances, even if Sun Wu was resurrected, he could only stare blankly.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Soon, the Shang Dynasty's southern expedition army rushed into Shang Yi and launched a charge against the Western Zhou army.
Compared with the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty, they were familiar with every plant, every tree, every street and every house here, and they had the support of the local folks, and they were immediately unstoppable.
"Father! We can't hold on any longer. Get out of the city quickly!"
Gong Ziwu fled back in embarrassment, and saw the back of the hand of the Marquis of Western Zhou holding the railing of the chariot, which was already turning white.
"It's impossible... Zhou Ming's intention is obvious, why is it like this..."
The Marquis of Western Zhou murmured, clenching his teeth and bleeding.
"Go quickly, it's too late!"
After Gong Ziwu personally broke up, he led the army, which was still arrogant before, withdrew from Shangyi in embarrassment.
At this time, on top of the broken city wall, a black black bird flag was re-erected, and merchants cheered.
"good!"
When Fang Yuan saw this scene, he immediately praised it.
Di Xin's death was actually the result of him waiting for his destiny.
The death of this king must be used as a separation from the previous series of sins.
The general trend is irreversible, but it can be changed in small steps.
The death of Emperor Xin represented that the destiny of the Western Zhou Dynasty had reached its peak. When the people were full, it would suffer losses, and when the water was full, it would overflow. After the peak, it would naturally only decline.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Zipan used his elite troops to occupy the home court advantage, with the right location and people in his hands. If he still failed, Fang Yuan would have no choice but to turn around and leave.
"I won the bet... The influence of destiny on the world must be subtle and not directly apparent!"
Fang Yuan looked up and saw a brand new black bird reborn in the flames, and suddenly let out a long cry.
