Honghuang: My understanding is beyond belief. I am the first immortal of Jiejiao.

Chapter 219: The scorching heat makes it difficult to march, Xiqi’s troops move to the top of the mountain, Jiang Ziya performs a ritual on stage

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty. The battle in Nachong City was temporarily at a stalemate.

The Hunyuan Sage Lin Zhu had already calculated that Caozhou Marquis Chong Heihu would lead his troops to reinforce his brother, Chong Houhu, the lord of Chongcheng.

First of all, Chong Heihu should not have died in Chongcheng. When a person is born, his fate is already determined by heaven. It is not something that ordinary people can change.

Secondly, Chong Heihu is a disciple of Jiejiao. Hunyuan Saint Lin Zhu has always been very protective of his shortcomings. In his heart, he naturally takes good care of his disciples.

After hearing Lin Zhu's words, Long Ji bowed, said goodbye to his master, and went to Chongcheng to wait for Chong Heihu.

Let’s talk about the Chaoge army that was heading west. Under the deliberate instructions of the commander Lu Xiong, they slowly headed towards Xiqi.

The two treacherous ministers Fei Zhong and You Hun suffered a lot.

Although the army was moving slowly, no matter how long the road was, it would eventually come to an end. The Western Expedition Army still passed through the five passes and arrived at the foot of Xiqi Mountain.

At this time, scouts came flying.

"Reporting to the Marshal, the Qinglong Pass General Zhang Guifang has been completely wiped out. He himself has also committed suicide to serve his country."

When Lu Xiong heard this, he didn't think much of it. Anyway, he was just here to take a look. It would be good to be able to join forces with Zhang Guifang's army.

Zhang Guifang was already dead, so there was no need to rush to rescue him. The weather was hot, like fire, and it was not easy to march.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiong waved his hand and said:
"Send the order down, set up camp in a dense forest at the foot of Xiqi Mountain."

……

Just as the Chaoge army was slowly approaching Xiqi, scouts from Xiqi had already arrived in the city with a report.

Jiang Ziya gathered the generals and began to deploy the troops. Naturally, the Chaoge army this time was full of human generals. There was no need for his own disciples to take action.

A mere 100,000 untrained mob in Chaoge could be wiped out by the generals of Xiqi alone.

Not to mention, Jiang Ziya still has decades of cultivation. With just a few calculations, he knew the situation of Chaoge's troops.

Seeing all the generals gathered in the hall, Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and smiled faintly.

"Commanders, this heat is unbearable. Even in the shade, we need to hold a fan to avoid the heat, and in the water, the water is a little too warm and we breathe heavily. The Chaoge army is really ignorant of life and death, and actually camped in the dense forest at the foot of Xiqi Mountain."

"This is the will of heaven. Heaven wants to destroy the army of Chaoge. I, Jiang Ziya, should just go with the flow."

"Send the order down, Nangong Shi and Wu Ji, lead 8,000 soldiers and horses to the top of Qishan Mountain to set up camp. Prepare plenty of cotton jackets and bamboo hats, and make sure there are no mistakes."

Generals Nangong Shi and Wu Ji were almost stunned when they heard this.

"What kind of order is this? Did we hear it correctly? In such hot weather, the soldiers are required to camp on the top of the mountain."

Seeing the two generals were stunned, Jiang Ziya repeated the order again. The two generals smiled, took the command arrows, and left.

Of course, the ordinary generals of the human race in the hall could not understand Jiang Ziya's intention. King Wu Bo Yikao, Deng Chanyu, and even Jin Zha and Mu Zha knew it very well.

But the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, otherwise, there will be punishment from heaven.

Bo Yikao returned to his own palace and sighed. As a quasi-saint, he was a disciple of Hunyuan Saint Lin Zhu.

In his heart, he naturally knew. Even if he used the Xiqi army to fight a tough battle with the Chaoge army, he was afraid that the Xiqi army would not suffer many casualties and would win a great victory.

Let alone the army of Chaoge, to put it bluntly, it was just an old man with two weak and treacherous ministers, leading 100,000 people who had just put down their hoes.

This is probably why Jiang Ziya was never deified and his cultivation level could not improve. He killed and injured 100,000 innocent people, and used Taoism.

If Jiang Ziya was from Jiejiao, Bo Yikao might have reminded him. However, this was a time when the three religions were competing for their fortunes. Jiang Ziya was from Chanjiao, and was a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun of Yuxu Palace.

Haha, forget it. Your luck is declining, so I can fight for more.

This is also the case with Jiang Ziya, who accidentally failed to fight for luck. Not only did he reduce the luck of the Chan Sect, but it also backfired on himself. He died in the flood.

……

The Xiqi army's actions, under the scorching sun, were wearing cotton jackets and bamboo hats. The most important thing is, who came up with this bad idea?

He even brought his troops to camp on the top of Mount Qi, which was several thousand meters high. The soldiers of Chaoge were so shocked by what they saw.

"My goodness, it's thanks to our Marshal Chao Gelu that he cared about his soldiers. In this hot weather, the soldiers didn't die in battle, they died of the heat."

Not to mention the Chaoge troops, who were watching and laughing at the foot of the mountain. The Xiqi troops finally set up camp at the top of the mountain.

Jiang Ziya then led his generals to the top of Mount Qishan and ordered Wu Ji to dispatch soldiers to build a high platform on the top of the mountain so that he could perform rituals on it.

In a short while, the platform was built. Jiang Ziya ordered all the soldiers to put on thick cotton jackets and hats. He himself, with his hair loose and holding a sword, went to the platform.

He looked in the direction of Kunlun Mountain and bowed three times. Then he stepped into the Tiangang, turned the bull upside down, and applied talisman paper. The long sword pointed out, and the heaven and earth were connected.

In an instant, the sky above Qishan Mountain, where the sun was shining brightly, was covered with dark clouds and strong winds arose.

People like Lu Xiong and Fei Zhong are just mortals, how can they see through the mysteries of heaven and earth with their mortal eyes?

As soon as they saw the wind rising, the soldiers of Chaoge all cheered loudly.

"God has mercy on me and spared my army from the scourge of the scorching heat."

"God's will is with my great Shang. The small Xiqi will be destroyed by my army sooner or later."

"Conquer Xiqi as soon as possible so that we can return to Chaoge to receive the reward."

The soldiers were talking about it, but most of them were kneeling down to worship the heavens. As mortals, seeing such strange weather, how could they not be afraid of the heavens?

Unexpectedly, the wind became stronger and stronger. In the air, snowflakes like goose feathers floated.

The Xiqi soldiers were wearing warm cotton jackets, so they didn't feel anything. At the foot of the mountain, the Chaoge soldiers were huddled together in groups of three or five, still shivering from the cold.

From being grateful to the heavens before, he now complained. Jiang Ziya had been doing this for a long time, and when he calculated the time, it was almost time.

Then he asked Wu Ji who was standing beside him: "General Wu, how much snow is there on Mount Qishan?"

When Wu Ji heard Jiang Ziya ask this, he immediately clasped his fists and answered:
"Prime Minister, the snow on the top of the mountain is about two to three feet deep. At the foot of the mountain, it is already more than a person's height. Even a seven-foot-tall man would find it difficult to move in the snow."

Jiang Ziya nodded, and immediately stopped the magic, reversing the Tian Gang. The dark clouds dissipated, the snowflakes stopped, and a red sun appeared in the sky.

The snow melted on the Qishan Mountain, and the snow water, along with the snowflakes, rushed down the mountain like an avalanche.

The hundred thousand soldiers of Chaoge were suddenly found in the ocean, struggling for their lives.

When Jiang Ziya saw that the snowflakes had melted into ice water, he performed magic once more. The sky continued to snow every day, and the entire Naqi Mountain was frozen into a crystal clear iceberg.
