Chapter 353: Troops are about to be dispatched, Chaoge sends Hong Jin again, Ji Kang defeats Nangong Shi
But it was said that Prince Yin Jiao, because he did not know the words of his master, changed his original intention to serve Zhou, and finally his poisonous oath came true, and he died from the plow and hoe in Qishan.
Chaoge's army was also completely wiped out, and all the immortals returned to their caves and devoted themselves to practicing Taoist magic.
After hearing the report, Emperor Xin was furious. Hong Jin, the commander-in-chief of Sanshanguan, was sent to attack Xiqi with 100,000 troops.
Hong Jin received the edict, how could he dare to neglect it. After handing over the customs seal and taking over the officials, he quickly led his troops to Xiqi.
At this moment, Jiang Ziya walked into the Imperial Preceptor's residence and asked Lin Zhu about the time when Xiqi sent troops to the fifth pass.
Hunyuan Sage Lin Zhu knew it clearly even if he didn't have to understand the prophet's magical powers.
This soldier is out of the fifth level, which is pretty fast. It's just that the conquest army has not yet arrived, so we have to rest for some time.
When Prime Minister Jiang Ziya asked, Lin Zhu smiled slightly:
"Prime Minister, there is no need to be busy. Chaoge's reinforcements may already be on the way. They will arrive in Xiqi in a few days."
"Let the Xiqi soldiers take the opportunity to rest for a few days and start preparing for war!"
Jiang Ziya was startled when he heard Lin Zhu's words and asked doubtfully:
"Do you take the words of the National Master seriously?"
"Seriously." Lin Zhu nodded.
……
Sure enough, it only took a few days. The Hong Jin army arrived at Qishan early and set up camp about fifty miles away from Xiqi City.
Commander Hong Jin quickly sent out warriors and summoned his lieutenants Ji Kang and Bai Xianzhong to come to the big tent to discuss countermeasures.
Seeing the two deputy generals together, Hong Jin said:
"Of the two generals, Jiang Ziya, the Prime Minister of Xiqi, is very resourceful and has no plans left. He has many disciples under his command, so I, Chao Ge, conquered the Western Army, but failed to defeat it repeatedly. On the contrary, I lost troops and generals, and was completely defeated."
"This time when our soldiers and horses from Sanshan Pass come, we must act cautiously and serve the country wholeheartedly. Only then can we have a chance of winning in the battle with Ne Xiqi."
Lieutenant General Ji Kang stood up as soon as he patted his chest.
"Coach Wuyou, wait until tomorrow, and the last general will go out to fight first. Defeating several Xiqi generals will dampen Jiang Ziya's spirit, and only then can we show the majesty of our Chaoge Tianjun."
Hong Jin was overjoyed when he heard this.
"It is a great blessing for a great merchant to have a general like this."
It turned out that Lieutenant General Ji Kang was no ordinary human general. In that ancient wilderness, demons, demons, asuras, and human cultivators were as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Moreover, each sect has its own practice method. This Ji Kang is just like a black dog who has attained Taoism and has learned all kinds of side tricks.
Only then did he dare to stand up and boast about capturing generals and killing enemies.
……
The next day, I suddenly heard a cannon sound in the Chaoge camp, and deputy general Ji Kang led a group of troops and horses to fight out.
"Sergeant Wu Na Xiqi, quickly inform your general and lead the troops into battle?"
Seeing Chaoge soldiers and horses, they called for formation under the city wall. Some patrol sergeant had already reported this news to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Oh, the desperate Chaoge soldiers and horses are here to stir up trouble again?"
As soon as Jiang Ziya muttered, civil and military officials gathered in Yin'an Palace.
"Commanders and soldiers, Chaoge has sent troops and horses to attack me, Xiqi. Now, which general of Chaoge is calling for formation outside the city."
"I wonder which general is willing to kill generals and perform meritorious service?"
After Jiang Ziya finished speaking, he saw a senior general emerge from the class.
"Prime Minister, I am willing to go."
Jiang Ziya and all the generals looked at it and saw that the coming general was Nangong Shiye, the most brave general in Xiqi.
Jiang Ziya nodded and sent Nangong Shi to fight.
……
At the foot of Xiqi City, Ji Kang was dressed in black gold armor and holding a sharp machete. He was showing off his power and calling for formation.
Then he saw the city gate open, and a general rushing out with a sword and a horse. "General Wu Na, don't be reckless, I'll meet you."
When Ji Kang saw Nangong Shi coming with a fierce attitude, he pointed his sword at an angle and shouted,
"I am Nangong Shi, the most brave general in Xiqi. Who are you?"
Nangong Shi reported his name and asked another question.
Ji Kang, however, was not afraid and shouted:
"I am under the command of Commander-in-Chief Hong, and I am also the pioneer officer Ji Kang. I am hereby entrusted by the king to punish Xiqi's disobedience."
"You have committed rebellion, and both men and gods are angry. The troops are here today. If you don't dismount your horse, you will surrender early. When will we wait?"
When Nangong Shi heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Ji Kang with disdain and replied:
"How capable can you be as a partial general? How dare you brag in front of me?"
"I don't know how many unknown people I have killed like you. You retreat quickly to avoid your death. Otherwise, once I take action, you will regret it too late."
Whatever happened to Ji Kang, he could be considered a general with some Taoist skills. At first glance, he was actually despised by this Nangong Shi.
He couldn't help but feel furious and rushed out.
"The traitor looks at the sword!"
"Who is afraid of you?"
Nangong Shi retorted and faced him with a knife.
There was a "bang" sound, and the two long knives intersected, killing each other.
Both generals are on horseback, and both use swords. I saw knives coming and going, like snowflakes flying by.
Ji Kang was a great merchant, so he could capture the rebellious ministers; Nangong Shi was a great merchant, and he wanted to prosper the Zhou Dynasty, so he could follow the dragon's merits.
They are all heroes on the battlefield, and no one is willing to come back.
The battle lasted for more than thirty years, and Ji Kang secretly recited a spell. Suddenly, a black cloud surged out from above Ji Kang's head.
Hidden in the black clouds was a ferocious long black dog with cracked canthus and teeth, staring at Nangong Shi ferociously.
Ji Kang held the long knife in Nangong Shi's hand and shouted, "Ji"
The black dog swooped down like a bolt of lightning. Nangong Shi wanted to fight, but there was no time.
The black dog opened its mouth wide and bit Nangong Shi's right arm. Along with the armor, flesh and blood, a large piece was torn off by the black dog.
The pain was so painful that Nangong Shi screamed, turned his horse's head, endured the pain and ran towards the city.
He was afraid that if he was any slower, his opponent, Ji Kang, would knock him off his horse.
Seeing Nangong Shi fleeing in embarrassment, Ji Kang did not pursue him. He just snorted coldly and led the victorious troops back to the camp.
Another lieutenant general, Bai Xianzhong, saw it and Ji Kang went into battle to take the lead. In my heart, I am very envious.
He quickly turned to Hong Jin and patted his chest in assurance.
Tomorrow I will go into battle in person and grab some credit.
Seeing that his morale was ready, Fa Jin naturally nodded in agreement. After all, Ji Kang made a good start. This is a good thing, it must be in pairs.
We have our own military and political affairs department, which records Ji Kang’s contributions but does not mention them.
……
Nangong Shi was defeated and entered Xiqi. He looked miserable, his body was covered in blood and flesh, and a large piece of flesh fell off his arms.
The armor was also torn, and his face was pale, obviously due to excessive blood loss.
A military medical officer had already come forward and bandaged Nangong Shi's wound. Jiang Ziya took out a pill and gave it to Nangong Shi.
Nangong Shi's pain immediately subsided, and then he told him about the battle formation.
Jiang Ziya and other generals have never heard of Ji Kang's name. Even the two generals Deng Jiugong and Huang Feihu appeared out of nowhere, Ji Kang, who had some Taoist skills.
