Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 110: Breaking the Front
The army of the Shang Dynasty was the strongest human army of that era, without a doubt. This was determined by productivity and production relations.

The Shang Dynasty could be destroyed by civil war, but foreign invaders wanting to occupy this land? I can only say that they are overthinking it.

Deng Chanyu led 800 cavalrymen and rushed through the sea of ​​fire at lightning speed. The enemy was caught off guard and arrows were shot at them. However, no soldier was afraid of these bone and copper arrows.

Arrows aimed at the eyes, face, and horses were deflected with weapons, and those aimed at the body were ignored.

Biaozi was the fastest and without much effort he had already put two body lengths between him and Su Quanxiao behind him.

Deng Chanyu was riding on a horse. She shifted her center of gravity to the left, stretched out her arm, and grabbed the wooden spear in the hand of an enemy.

She frowned slightly at the crude weapon; it was too light.

The weapon was light and she was left-handed, so she was not used to it. However, she still turned the spear head upside down and threw it hard. The spear drew a beautiful parabola and nailed to death a guy who was wearing colorful feathers on his head, covered with animal skins, and holding a dagger. He was suspected to be an officer.

Among a group of shirtless soldiers, this guy is the most conspicuous. As to whether he is an officer, no one knows.

The halberd was extremely nimble in her hands. She killed a soldier on the left, and with a flip of her wrist, she chopped off two heads on the right.

The eight hundred cavalrymen crushed the enemy's formation, which was not very tight to begin with, into pieces. If they were spears, the two thousand infantrymen led by Deng Ai were hammers. The soldiers fought in formations, and the enemies who had luckily escaped the cavalry charge could only waile in the face of the swarming infantry, and then were nailed to death by the infantry's spears.

The high priest who was leading his army to besiege Yongcheng did not expect that his magic would be forcibly broken. A trace of hesitation appeared on his old face, but in order for his tribe to get out of the mountains, he had to persevere.

The high priest murmured something like a dream and took out a wine cup made of a skull that was not sure whether it was human or animal.

Hundreds of shirtless Shu soldiers walked up to the high priest. They were not afraid at all. With their shirts bare, they beat the wooden shields with the daggers in their hands and shouted "Yu Fu Yu Fu".

When their emotions were extremely excited, they turned the hilts of their swords upside down and stabbed them into their hearts. The high priest took ninety-nine drops of their heart blood and swallowed it in one gulp. Soon, a face that looked neither human nor beast appeared on the golden mask.

The high priest held high a golden staff more than one meter long, and a figure walked out of it. After mixing with the face that appeared on the golden mask, it turned into a human-shaped shadow wearing a five-toothed witch crown, triangular earrings, and holding swimming fish and flying birds.

The shadow's index and middle fingers were very long. It raised its arm and pointed its four long fingers in the direction of Deng Chanyu.

The next moment, the flames that had been extinguished began to burn again, and this time the flames were even more violent. The two Deng family servants who were closest to them only had time to shout before they and their horses were burned to ashes.

Yu Fu's name echoed throughout the battlefield, and an even larger human-shaped shadow appeared in the sky. The Shang people also believed in the spirits of their ancestors. At this time, both the reinforcements and the defenders were in great panic. On the contrary, the morale of the Shu soldiers was greatly boosted.

"Playing tricks." Deng Chanyu commented in a rather pretentious manner.

"Su Quanxiao!"

"The general is here!"

Deng Chanyu pointed her halberd northwestward and said, "Lead the team and charge in this direction."

Su Quanxiao glanced at the sea of ​​fire that was more than a man high, and gritted his teeth: "Yes!"

Deng Chanyu took out the Qiankun Bow and Zhentian Arrow, and her spiritual sense spanned more than ten miles and locked onto the high priest of Shu Kingdom wearing a golden mask.

"Die!" The Sky-shaking Arrow flew rapidly at a height of two meters from the ground.

Deng Chanyu also attached her own red light magical power to the arrow. When the arrow flew past, the sea of ​​fire that was a hundred steps long and seventy or eighty steps wide disappeared in an instant.

The arrow turned blood red, and a phantom of the Phoenix clan appeared on the tip of the arrow. It then crossed a distance of more than ten miles. The sound of breaking through the air had just rang in Su Quanxiao's ears when the Sky-shaking Arrow pierced a bloody hole in the face of the Shu Kingdom's high priest.

Through the broken golden mask, one can see that the high priest's face is abnormally pale, his eyes are two times larger than normal people's eyes, his nose is very high, and his chin is square.

Deng Chanyu was a little puzzled. Is this a human? Why does he look like this? Did plastic surgery begin during the Shang Dynasty?
She retracted the red light from the Sky-shaking Arrow and felt uncomfortable at first.

The flame used by the high priest for the second time still contained a lot of miscellaneous things, like human things, and was very turbid. She released the red light again, and all the impurities that did not belong to the fire element were thrown out.

From the shooting of the arrow to the death of the high priest, and then to the disintegration of the human-shaped shadow in the sky above, it actually only took two breaths. Su Quanxiao was worthy of being a general of the North. He seized the opportunity and led 800 cavalrymen to completely break through the enemy's formation.

The Shu soldiers were extremely eager to fight, and no one retreated even when they saw Su Quanxiao rushing forward as if he were in an empty space.

They were very eager to fight, but unfortunately their equipment was poor. They were all bare-chested and holding stone spears and bronze halberds. From the perspective of the Shang Dynasty, they were making their last resistance.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

Yongcheng was under siege for more than half a month, and most of the soldiers were killed or wounded. The general defending the city hesitated for a moment, left two thousand soldiers and his deputy general to guard the city, and rushed out of the city gate with three thousand people to provide support.

One outside and one inside, like millstones, charging back and forth.

The Shu Kingdom sent 10,000 troops on an expedition, plus the armies assembled from the southern princes, the total strength was as high as 20,000. However, facing the pincer attack from Deng Chanyu's 6,000 troops, they were completely reduced to walking military exploits.

"Those who surrender will not be killed! Put down your weapons and I will spare your lives!" The Deng family cavalry kept shouting. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, some soldiers of the southern princes immediately put down their weapons and surrendered.

The Shu soldiers resisted for the duration of another meal.

More than 6,000 of the 10,000-strong army were killed in the battle, and the rest finally couldn't hold on and surrendered.

Finally, more than a hundred diehards raised the high priest's golden staff: "People of Yufu! We will never surrender!"

Deng Chanyu was slightly moved when she heard these people's shouts.

The enemy would rather die than surrender, so they had to be killed.

Su Quanxiao killed the last resister and presented the golden staff to Deng Chanyu.

She picked up the high priest's golden staff. The inside of the staff was made of wood and the outside was covered with a layer of gold. Flowers, birds, fish and insects were carved on the outside of the staff. It was quite beautiful, but in her opinion, the symbolic meaning of the staff was greater than its practical significance.

"Pack it up and send it to Chaoge." She handed the golden staff to the attendant beside her. King Zhou should like these things. After thinking about it, she felt it was inappropriate and signaled Deng Ai to put the golden staff away first. She felt that she might need this thing in the future, and it would be a waste if she gave it to King Zhou.
