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

Chapter 306: Regardless of life and death, each fights for his master on the battlefield, Tuxingsun enters Chaoge Camp

But it is said that the soldiers and civilians of Xiqi were given elixirs by the saint Shennong. After using them according to the instructions, the soldiers and civilians of Xiqi were as good as before.

Jiang Ziya was just about to ask King Wu Bo Yikao whether it is possible to gather all the princes in the world to discuss the Great Shang together.

Unexpectedly, Chaoge sent Zhang Shan as the commander, leading an army of 100,000, approaching Xiqi, joined more than 1,000 remaining soldiers of Deng Zhong, and set up a large camp in Xiqi.

In addition, Zhang Shan also sent soldiers to challenge the enemy at the city of Xiqi.

Jiang Ziya had to gather all his generals to discuss countermeasures.

Seeing all the civil and military officials gathered together, Jiang Ziya took a quick look and said:
"Comrades, I thought that after Xiqi drove away the Plague God Lu, we could temporarily stop the war, pay attention to the people's livelihood, recuperate, and return peace and prosperity to the world."

"Unexpectedly, the wicked and incompetent ruler of Chaoge did not do what I wanted. He actually sent out an army of 100,000 to attack Xiqi."

"I wonder if the generals have any good strategy to deal with the Chaoge troops?"

As soon as Jiang Ziya finished speaking, a general stepped out from the ranks of generals.

The civil and military officials saw that it was the old general Deng Jiugong, the former commander of Sanshan Pass in Chaoge. He was indeed old but still strong, and had the courage to resist thousands of men.

Deng Jiugong clasped his fists towards Jiang Ziya.

"Why should you worry, Prime Minister? Zhang Shan was once my deputy general, a brave man. Even if there are many soldiers, what is there to be afraid of?"

"I am willing to go out and kill the enemy in front of the battle."

Jiang Ziya was overjoyed when he heard this and issued an order.
"Soldiers, listen to my orders and follow me out of the city to meet the enemy."

Immediately, the gates of Xiqi opened wide. Teams of soldiers poured out like a tide. With colorful flags flying, they quickly formed a battle array, facing the Chaoge camp from a distance.

Zhang Shan heard the scouts report that Xiqi's troops were dispatched. He immediately led the three armies out of the camp and formed a battle array, with the two camps facing each other.

The generals of both sides appeared, each surrounded by their own commander.

Jiang Ziya looked at Zhang Shan, the commander of Chaoge, who was wearing golden armor all over his body, and beside him were a group of generals wearing shining helmets and armor.

Zhang Shan saw that Jiang Ziya was surrounded by many extraordinary people and heroes from various sects.

Zhang Shan was brave, but he was not afraid. He raised the whip in his hand and shouted:

"Jiang Ziya, you are also a disciple of the Chan Sect, a Quanzhen with Taoism. You don't even think about the fact that the heavens are kind and merciful, and that benevolent people have compassion for the world."

"Why did you help the rebels and invade Chaoge, killing and wounding countless of our soldiers? Don't you know that the families of the soldiers are still hoping that they will return home?"

"I advise you to put the people of the world first. Put down your weapons and surrender to Chaoge. You will be crowned a marquis and enjoy great blessings for thousands of years."

Jiang Ziya laughed when he heard this. He pointed his Yin Yang Sword diagonally and said:
"It was because Emperor Xin was unjust that many wise men came to Xiqi to assist their wise ruler. Moreover, the will of heaven is on Zhou's side, and the Shang Dynasty will perish."

"We, the people of our generation, should follow the will of Heaven and assist the Zhou Dynasty. How can we go against Heaven and bring disaster to our descendants for generations to come?"

Zhang Shan saw that Jiang Ziya had made up his mind and was not moved by him. He shouted:

"No matter how eloquent you are, you are still a traitor who betrayed the country and the king. Who will come with me to capture him?"

There was already a general who rode out with his sword in hand, roaring loudly.
"I am willing to go with Qian Bao."

As soon as the voice fell, Qian Bao, the advance officer, rushed out of the battle formation.

"Slow down,"

Deng Jiugong of the Xiqi camp rode out on his horse.

"Qian Bao, why don't you dismount and surrender in front of me? Back then, you and the others were under my command, and I treated you well."

Qian Bao laughed grimly.
"General Deng, you are a traitor now, and I am an official appointed by the court. It is only natural for soldiers to catch thieves. But you should have tied yourself up and surrendered early." Deng Jiugong was furious. Both of them were cavalry generals, and both used long swords. Soon, the two generals fought each other.

"Ding ding dang dang", the sound of two swords colliding was heard, just like opening a blacksmith shop.

Deng Jiugong was, after all, a veteran warrior with a skilled swordsmanship. Moreover, his daughter, Deng Chanyu, was one of the most beloved disciples of the Hunyuan Saint Lin Zhu.

It is inevitable that the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill will not be given to Lord Deng Jiu to take.

Therefore, the two generals fought for more than thirty or forty rounds, and Qian Bao ran out of strength and could not resist the enemy.

Qian Bao used his remaining strength to knock away Deng Jiugong's long sword, turned his horse around and tried to escape.

Unexpectedly, Deng Jiugong shouted loudly and exerted his divine power. He struck Qian Bao on the back of the head with a knife, and immediately, Qian Bao and his horse were cut into two pieces.

Several piles of dead flesh were scattered on the ground.

Jiang Ziya was overjoyed to see Deng Jiugong win. He waved the flag in his hand and the Xiqi army rushed towards Zhang Shan's army.

First, the Chaoge army had already lost Qian Bao, and thus had lost its fighting spirit.

Secondly, the Xiqi army is full of brave generals and disciples. How can the Chaoge army be able to defeat them?

As soon as the two made contact, Zhang Shan, the commander of Chaoge, was hit on the shoulder by a stone thrown by Deng Chanyu.

Zhang Shan cried out in pain and led his troops to set up camp for dozens of miles.

Jiang Ziya did not pursue him, but returned to the city victoriously. He ordered the Military and Political Affairs Department to record his achievement and the whole army to hold a banquet to congratulate him.

……

Not long after the Chaoge army set up camp, a little dwarf came up to them carrying an iron rod.

When the little dwarf saw the "Shang" flag flying on the flagpole of Dazhai, he thought to himself:
"This must be the place. Those living in the city must be the Xiqi rebels."

"It's better for me to ask first. Don't make a mistake and make Master Shen laugh at you."

The little dwarf approached the stronghold and asked the soldier on duty:
"Excuse me, sir. This is the Chaoge military camp. I am a disciple of Jialong Mountain, Tuxingsun, and I have come to join the army and serve the court."

The soldier guarding the camp hurriedly asked Tuxingsun to wait for a moment and ran to report to the commander-in-chief.

By chance, he met the deputy general Deng Zhong, who was inspecting the camp. The soldier on duty was called Deng Zhong, and he told him in detail about Tu Xingsun's joining the army.

Deng Zhong did not dare to neglect it, and came to the gate of the village and asked about Tu Xingsun. Only then did he know that he was a rare man recommended by the state teacher Shen Gongbao.

So, he led Tuxingsun towards the main tent.

Commander Zhang Shan was still in the big tent, groaning and groaning in pain. Deng Zhong and Tu Xingsun walked in.

Without Zhang Shan saying anything, Tu Xingsun could tell that Zhang Shan was injured by an external object. He couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't worry, General. It's just a minor injury and will heal in no time."

As he spoke, Tu Xingsun took out a pill from his bosom and rolled it back and forth a few times on Zhang Shan's swollen shoulder.

Zhang Shan's swelling and redness disappeared, and the pain was gone. Surprisingly, the injury healed in an instant.

It turned out that Tu Xingsun had a lot of elixirs on him. After stealing Ju Liusun's immortal rope, he also took some elixirs with him.

Immortal elixirs have extraordinary uses.

Zhang Shan was overjoyed and immediately asked about Tuxingsun's origins.

Hearing that Tuxingsun was a Taoist master invited by the state teacher Shen Gongbao, he treated Tuxingsun as a distinguished guest and told him about the battle between the two armies.
