Chapter 354 The veteran takes action, Deng Jiugong kills Bai Xianzhong, Ji Shuming bravely fights Hong Jinshuai
But it was said that after Xiqi destroyed the suburbs of Yin, he thought he could use fire to pray to heaven, choose an auspicious day, and march into the five passes to attack the Wudao Emperor Xin.
Unexpectedly, Chaoge sent Hong Jin, the commander-in-chief of Sanshanguan, to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Xiqi.
Naturally, the Xiqi generals who had just won the battle did not take Hong Jin, a human general, seriously at all.
As everyone knows, not only the coach Hong Jin has the skills of left-handedness, but also the deputy general Ji Kang, who can also acquire a surgical technique by any chance.
So, Nangong Shi, the most powerful general in Xiqi, doesn’t know this. He volunteered to go out of the city to fight, but if he was not careful, he suffered a big loss.
If he hadn't escaped quickly enough and received timely rescue, he might have even lost his life.
When Nangong Shi told the situation about the battle formation, not even Deng Jiugong, the former commander-in-chief of Sanshan Pass, knew about Ji Kang's situation.
Seeing that all the generals looked puzzled, Deng Jiugong said angrily:
"This little Ji Kang is nothing to worry about. I will go out to the battlefield tomorrow to have a meeting."
"In short, no matter how strong the Chaoge general is, I, all the Xiqi soldiers, have to go see each other for a while, right?"
Deng Jiugong's words were the true thoughts of the generals. Who is higher and who is lower can't be determined on the battlefield.
So, after some discussion, the generals dispersed.
……
Early the next morning, there were soldiers patrolling the city and hurried into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, something bad has happened. Outside the city, there is General Chao Ge, leading a group of troops and horses to challenge. I hope the Prime Minister will make a decision soon."
Jiang Ziya heard the news and drove back the soldiers. Arriving at Yin'an Hall, drums were beaten to gather all the soldiers.
The veteran Deng Jiugong had already stepped forward.
"I tell you, Prime Minister, that the last general is willing to go and kill the general to make a contribution."
Jiang Ziya had already discussed it beforehand and prepared to send Deng Jiugong to fight. What's more, General Chaoge, who was both a colleague of Sanshan Guanzhong and could not be known to Guild Qi and Deng Jiu, came to challenge him.
So Jiang Ziya gave Deng Jiugong a few words,
"Take care, old general."
Then he asked Deng Jiugong to lead a group of soldiers and horses out of the city to meet the enemy.
Sure enough, when they arrived outside Xiqi City, they set up their formation and the two armies faced each other.
Deng Jiugong looked up and saw the general opposite, who was over ten feet tall, had red hair and a yellow face, and was holding a bright silver spear. He looked very majestic.
It didn't matter to Deng Jiugong at first glance, but he was actually happy when he saw it. He didn't recognize Ji Kang, but this Bai Xianzhong was a general he knew well.
"Bai Xianzhong, this great business world has all returned to my Holy Lord Xiqi. It is in vain that you are a general, but you don't know where destiny is and what the people want. If you don't get off your horse, surrender quickly to save your life."
When Bai Xianzhong saw the veteran general Deng Jiugong on the Xiqi formation, who was also an acquaintance, he couldn't help laughing and said:
"Deng Jiugong, you have been favored by the country in your life, and you surrender to the enemy without thinking of serving the country. This is disloyal; you kill Chaoge's former colleagues without permission, which is unjust."
"How can a disloyal and unjust person show off his words in front of this general?"
When Deng Jiugong heard what Bai Xianzhong said, he couldn't help but feel angry. He spurred his horse to sit down, raised his sword, and killed Bai Xianzhong.
Bai Xianzhong deceived Deng Jiugong because he was old and weak. He couldn't help snorting coldly. He held a spear in his hand, clapped his horse, and went to meet him.
The two generals raised their spears and knives side by side and fought together.
The two generals each showed their bravery, but neither of them was willing to give in at all. After about twenty or thirty battles, Deng Jiugong showed no sign of fatigue, but became more and more courageous as he fought;
Although Bai Xianzhong is young, he has little battle experience. Deng Jiugong's sword was as tight as a knife, and he was so frightened that he was killed.
At this moment, Deng Jiugong suddenly heard a loud shout, raised his sword and cut Bai Xianzhong off his horse. Bai Xianzhong's heroic spirit flew to the Conferred God Platform.
Deng Jiugong pointed his long sword, and Xiqi soldiers and horses rushed towards the opposite side like a tide. After chasing for more than twenty miles, Deng Jiugong paid the gold and withdrew his troops and returned to the city.
Jiang Ziya was overjoyed and ordered the Military and Political Department to record Deng Jiugong's military exploits. Na Bai showed his loyal head and hung it on the city tower to show the public without mentioning it.
……
Chaoge's defeated army retreated to the camp and reported the battle situation to their coach Hong Jin. Hong Jin was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed sternly:
"Xiqita is also hateful. He hurt one of my generals. Tomorrow, I will personally lead the soldiers there to avenge this hatred."
The next day, Hong Jin ordered the three armies to arrive at the foot of Xiqi City. He named Jiang Ziya and asked which Jiang Ziya he wanted to answer.
Jiang Ziya's men are as fierce as rain, so they are not afraid of Hong Jin. After gathering the three armies, they went to the outside of the city and set up their positions.
Hong Jin saw all the soldiers and horses in Xiqi, lined up and lined up, very neatly. One of them has a strange crotch and is wearing a Taoist uniform. He is suspected to be Jiang Ziya, the Prime Minister of Xiqi.
So Hong Jin rode out of the formation, came to the front of the army, and shouted to the opposite army:
"Is that Jiang Shang opposite?"
Jiang Ziya snorted coldly and shouted back,
"So what, who are you, dare to come to my Xiqi to run wild?"
Hong Jin shouted: "I am going to conquer Marshal Xiqi in heaven, and so is Hong Jin, the former commander-in-chief of Sanshanguan!"
"Er Xiqi did not abide by the laws of the country and committed rebellion. He accepted the bandits and supported his own troops, hurt the heavenly soldiers and rebelled against his subjects. This is a major crime against the nine tribes."
"Today my heavenly soldiers are here to exterminate the rebellion, capture the leaders, interpret the court songs, and rectify the country's laws in front of the people of the world."
"If you don't dismount your horse and ask for surrender, how dare you resist arrest?"
Jiang Ziya couldn't help laughing when he heard Hong Jin's words.
"Hong Jin, as the commander-in-chief, you don't know the destiny. All the heroes in the world have come to support me, the benevolent and righteous King Wu. The great merchants in the world have all returned to me, the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Emperor Xin is promiscuous and neglects government affairs. He will be captured by me in the morning and evening. How can you, a general military officer, with a mere hundred thousand soldiers and horses, stop the soldiers and horses of the world?"
"In my opinion, it is better for you to return to Xiqi and punish the people, and you will not lose the title of Marquis."
"If you dare to help the unscrupulous Emperor Xin, you will only increase your sins without realizing it, and you will not regret it when death is imminent!"
When Hong Jin heard what Jiang Ziya said, he couldn't help but became furious and cursed:
"Old man, you contradict me and dare to talk nonsense. You are confusing the ears and eyes of the people in the world."
While Hong Jin was scolding, Yiye rode his horse and swung his sword to kill him.
"Wuna Hongjin, slow down. Uncle Xiqi Ji is here!"
In the opposite direction, Ji Shuming clapped his horse and held a spear, approaching him.
Ji Shuming was the seventy-second son of Ji Chang, King Wen of Zhou Dynasty. He is also a brave general in Xiqi City who is able to conquer battles.
Seeing the veteran Deng Jiugong, they all made great contributions. In my heart, I couldn't hold back for a long time, and I wanted to go to the battle formation, kill the generals and capture the flag.
Seeing this Hong Jin coming to kill, isn't this just a walking military merit? In addition, Ji Shuming was impatient, so he came forward without waiting for orders.
Guns and knives intersect, and the two generals are killed in one place.
Ji Shuming is better because he is young and strong. He can dance his spear like a storm, and his spear never leaves Hong Jin's vitals.
Although Hong Jin was Chaoge's commander in conquering Xiqi, he was also a man of Taoism. How can you risk your life and death with a general of the same clan?
