Chapter 253 Night Raid on the Yin Shang Camp, Lingya Immortal and Jinguang Immortal Slaughter Four S
Cola Novels: turn the page and you're in another world.
After half a day of internal struggle, Jiang Ziya finally chose Cihang's suggestion.
He struggled internally, like a small boat in a storm, but the weight of reality finally overwhelmed his wavering will.
After all, he had worked so hard for so long, day and night, and exhausted himself. He really didn't want to see all his efforts go to waste.
Moreover, Cihang's words were indeed reasonable. Back then, Lingya Xian, Jinguang Xian, and Luo Xuan were able to withstand the Twelve Golden Immortals. This was both a fact and a warning he had to face.
However, this matter must never be known to Ji Chang and Ji Fa.
In this era that values morality and etiquette, military campaigns must be conducted with integrity and uprightness. Night raids and infiltrations of enemy camps are ultimately unacceptable and will inevitably be ridiculed by the world.
As a subject, he could not bring shame upon his lord, so he could only silently bear the blame.
His actions were extremely swift; that very night, Jiang Ziya summoned the Taoist Ran Deng and the generals of Xiqi.
The campfire flickered, casting the shadows of everyone onto the tent.
Jiang Ziya solemnly proposed the plan for a night raid, and as expected, several generals immediately voiced their opposition.
Their faces were filled with indignation, believing that this was a despicable act, and that even in the face of a tyrannical army, one should not stoop to such a dark act.
However, Jiang Ziya had already made up his mind.
As the Prime Minister of Xiqi, he holds both military and political power, and at this moment, he cannot afford to hesitate or question.
His face was ashen, his gaze swept over the generals, and he suddenly drew his God-Slaying Whip.
With a flash of whip and a sudden glint of cold light, the two most vehemently opposed generals fell to the ground. The tent fell into a deathly silence, broken only by the crackling of the torches and the suppressed breathing of the crowd.
The remaining generals were all horrified, and no one dared to utter a word.
Seeing that the generals fell silent, Jiang Ziya turned to face Ran Deng, and bowed, saying:
"Vice Master, we now need you to cast a spell to summon ten thousand soldiers as the vanguard."
"Once they disrupt the merchant camp, I will lead a large army to ambush and kill them. What do you think?"
"snort!"
Ran Deng merely snorted coldly, his face indifferent, a barely perceptible hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
With a flick of his sleeve, he turned around and left the camp without looking back.
Since the Taibai clone dissipated, the foreign magical power within his body also weakened and has now completely dissipated.
Without any external pressure, he naturally did not want to be tainted by such karma again, and he disdained to be ordered around by a mortal at the level of a human immortal.
Seeing that Ran Deng had turned and left, Jiang Ziya's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and he secretly clenched his fists in his sleeves.
But he managed to hold back and remained silent, turning instead to face the generals in the tent.
"All generals, heed my command! Leave 100,000 troops to garrison Lintong Pass, with 10,000 cavalry in the vanguard and the rest infantry following behind. Follow me, Prime Minister, straight to the Yin Shang camp!"
After saying this, Jiang Ziya stood up first, led his generals out of the council tent, and hurried towards the army's encampment outside the city.
As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war. He mounted his tall warhorse and personally led ten thousand elite cavalrymen, silently piercing into the deep night.
Although Jiang Ziya's Taoist skills were not profound, he could still use some practical methods.
To maintain secrecy, he silently chanted incantations, enveloping the entire army in a spell of silence and speed.
Thus, the journey that should have taken an hour was completed in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and the Xiqi cavalry had already approached the Yin Shang army camp like ghosts.
However, Wen Zhong was also a person of considerable skill.
He had already spread his divine senses out, enveloping the surroundings.
The moment the Xiqi army entered his perception range, Wen Zhong suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and immediately ordered the entire army to be on alert.
To send 10,000 cavalrymen to storm the camp of an army of 200,000 is like throwing an egg against a rock.
Almost simultaneously, Jiang Ziya realized that his presence had been discovered and was horrified. He immediately tried to turn his horse around and order a retreat.
But in that split second, two golden lights suddenly burst forth from behind the Xiqi army formation.
Lingya Xian and Jinguang Xian revealed their enormous forms in mid-air, their huge mouths opening as they devoured the densest part of the Shang army.
Screams and cries of terror instantly ripped through the silence of the night, and chaos erupted in one corner of the camp.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ziya's hesitation vanished, replaced by a resolute and ruthless glint.
He pointed his long whip forward, his voice echoing across the land: "All soldiers, heed my command! Charge with me!"
At the same time, deafening footsteps and shouts came from behind.
Jiang Ziya felt much more at ease and his confidence soared. He vowed to seize this opportunity to annihilate the 200,000-strong Yin Shang army in one fell swoop.
Ji Li hurriedly flew to Wen Zhong's side and said urgently:
"Teacher, something terrible has happened! Spirit Tooth Fairy and Golden Light Fairy have rebelled on the battlefield and are slaughtering our army! If we allow them to run rampant, our entire army may be in danger of being wiped out!"
Wen Zhong's expression was solemn. His gaze swept over the chaotic military camp and then looked at the Xiqi army in the distance.
"Ji Li, Yu Qing, heed my command! You shall immediately lead the army to retreat in an orderly manner, without lingering for battle! I will hold them off here!"
Although Wen Zhong's two disciples were extremely loyal to their teacher, they were also astute and discerning individuals.
They knew that this massive army before them was the last trump card of the Yin Shang dynasty, and they absolutely could not afford to lose it here.
Therefore, the two did not hesitate much and immediately used their magic to order the entire army to retreat.
However, the Xiqi army pursued relentlessly, clinging tightly to the Yin Shang army, showing no intention of turning back.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Wen Zhong disregarded the taboo against killing mortals and suddenly flew backward, his hands quickly forming hand seals.
The next moment, a barrier suddenly rose between the Yin Shang and Xi Qi armies, separating the two sides and stopping Lingya Xian and Jinguang Xian's devouring momentum.
"Since my two senior uncles are so heartless and ungrateful, then don't blame me for being disrespectful today!"
After Wen Zhong finished speaking, he wielded his twin whips and took the lead in slashing at the golden-haired roar that Jin Guangxian had transformed into.
Compared to Fairy Fang, Golden Roar's defense is slightly weaker, so defeating it first is the best option at present.
However, Wen Zhong's double whips struck the Golden-haired Roar's head hard, but the opponent was unharmed.
"How could it be completely useless when we are both Taiyi Golden Immortals?"
Before Wen Zhong could even react with surprise, the Golden-Haired Roar suddenly roared, its sonic boom sending Wen Zhong flying.
Before the attack could stop, a white elephant charged forward and crashed heavily into Wen Zhong.
Although Wen Zhong used his double whips to block, he was still knocked backward and sent flying. The force was so great that even the barrier was shattered.
"Hahaha, Wen Zhong, today is your death day!"
Although Jiang Ziya did not understand why Lingya Xian and Jinguang Xian had suddenly turned against Xiqi, it was not important.
The Xiqi army has already gained the upper hand, and that is enough.
"My two fellow Daoists, I will leave Wen Zhong to you. I will lead the army to pursue the remnants of the Yin Shang dynasty."
Jiang Ziya used his magic to increase the speed of the entire Xiqi army, and they sped off in pursuit of the direction in which the Yin Shang army had retreated.
At this point, Wen Zhong was powerless to stop Jiang Ziya; the two men before him were simply too troublesome.
However, he was not too worried about Yu Qing and Ji Li. The two had followed him for many years and were well-versed in military strategy. Moreover, they had retreated first, so it would not be easy for Jiang Ziya to catch up with them.
Moreover, Ji Li's cultivation level was comparable to Jiang Ziya's. Without the help of Lingya Xian and Jinguang Xian, the Xiqi army might not have been able to defeat the Yin Shang army.
Unfortunately, Wen Zhong is likely to perish here today.
