Marshal Deng of the Conferred God

Chapter 22
A great battle killed the sky and the earth, and blood stained the mountains and rivers.

Since King Wu came to the throne, it was the second time that the Xiqi battlefield had been fought so fiercely.

Jiang Ziya looked embarrassed, his mount was lost, and his robe was also torn a few holes, which were cut by a sharp knife. If he hadn't been proficient in the five elements, he might have lost his life just now. Now that I think about it , Ordering the whole army to attack is simply a foolish move.

Originally, according to his original plan, he would first fight against the enemy generals, and after winning a few rounds, he would throw all the soldiers and horses with high morale into the battlefield, which would definitely defeat Deng's army in one fell swoop.Unexpectedly, man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. First, Lei Zhenzi was shot and killed, and Nezha fought with others. He had to put all his troops into it, but was defeated by Deng Jun.

Deng Jun not only had the upper hand in terms of numbers, but also had high morale, and Deng Jiugong appeared to command in person. He was mentally unprepared, and Xiqi had no reason to be invincible.

"Uncle, it's great that you're all right."

When Jin Zha found Jiang Ziya in the chaos, he wept with joy.

Jiang Ziya saw that his nose was red and swollen with large blood stains on it, so he hurriedly asked, "Jin Zha, you are injured."

Jin Zha looked gloomy, and said in a shy voice: "The disciple was accidentally hit by Deng Chanyu's magic weapon, and the bridge of his nose was broken." This time, even if he used the panacea to explain education, he couldn't recover, and he was considered disfigured.

Jiang Ziya sighed: "This battle is my responsibility."

Soon, a group of generals gathered around the two, including Li Jing, Nezha, Wei Hu and Yang Jian. Jiang Ziya felt relieved when he saw that the disciples were fine.Suddenly found that Mu Zha was missing, and asked everyone quickly, but they didn't know.

Wei Hu said: "Uncle, don't worry, Mu Zha is very powerful in Taoism, and the Wu Hook in his hand is a world-renowned magic weapon. He will be fine. I'm afraid he will get separated from the army at this time. When we return to Xiqi After counting the number of people, it will not be too late to find them.”

Jiang Ziya nodded, and asked the generals to gather the defeated soldiers, who were defeated by Deng Jun. During the escape process, countless soldiers died due to trampling each other.

……

Gathering up the broken soldiers and counting the number of people, Jiang Ziya's heart was half cold.

In this battle, Xiqi dispatched [-] elite troops, and lost [-] at once. In addition, Lei Zhenzi was killed in battle, Mu Zha lost his arm, His Royal Highnesses Ji Shuming and Ji Shusheng died, and King Wucheng's son Huang Tian was killed on the battlefield. The loss was unprecedented.

Jiang Ziya's face was extremely gloomy, and he suffered a big defeat. As the commander of an army, he had to bear full responsibility.

All the generals looked sad, Yang Jian blamed himself, and said to Jiang Ziya: "Uncle Master, it is the disciple who failed to obtain information that led to this defeat. The disciple is willing to lead the army to deal with it."

A mere Deng Jiugong made himself suffer twice. Yang Jian was unwilling to reconcile. He thought that few people in Xiqi could match his skills, courage and brains. As a result, Deng Jiugong was superior in every move. how to spell.

Jiang Ziya pondered and said: "Come here, take Yang Jian down and beat him with fifty army sticks."

This big defeat is inseparable from Yang Jian, if he doesn't deal with it, it will be difficult to convince the public.Although this martial nephew is extremely outstanding, military law is ruthless, and he cannot be excused just because of this.

Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, if Jiang Ziya didn't deal with him, he would have no face to stay in Xiqi.

Yang Jian was punished, the generals dared not speak, Mu Zha looked sad, he was worried about his misfortune, a general who lost his arm was equivalent to half a useless person, how could he stay in the Xiqi battlefield like this.

At this moment, Wu Wangji came, and Jiang Ziya led the generals to pay their respects.

As soon as he saw Jiang Ziya, King Wu wiped his tears and said, "Father Xiang, how can you suffer such a defeat? It's a shame that the two brothers left me." His father, King Wen, had 99 sons. So, if this trend continues, how can I have the face to meet my father after my death.

Jiang Ziya said in relief: "The king is mourning, and it is important to take care of your health. As a general, you should have the awareness to die in battle. The two highnesses who sacrificed their lives for the country are really an example of my Xiqi. Friendship."

If the earthen pot is not broken away from the well, the general will inevitably die before the battle.

The war is ruthless. If the Zhou family wants to replace it with Chengtang, they will have to pay a sufficient price. Jiang Ziya has long been mentally prepared.

Ji Fa nodded and said: "What Xiangfu said is very true. The lonely man buried the two brothers with the ceremony of a duke, and the civil servants will publicize their achievements in Xiqi, so that they will die well."

Jiang Ziya said: "Your Majesty is wise."

After glancing at Jiang Ziya, Ji Fa said again: "Father Xiang, this Deng Jiugong has been camping under the city for almost a month. The people in the city are in a state of panic, and all civil and military officials are worried about this every day. I don't know when they can retreat."

Jiang Ziya sighed: "Your Majesty is in a hurry. This Deng Jiugong is good at using troops. He has gathered a group of capable men, and he has a strong army. It is not so easy to eliminate him. This matter needs a long-term plan."

Ji Fa said softly: "I'm just asking casually. The father is in charge of all military affairs. As for the emotions of civil and military officials, this king will calm them down. Don't worry, as long as this king is here, Xiqi will be in chaos." Can't get up."

Being able to stand out from the 98 brothers, Ji Fa's mind and means are average. For ordinary people, King Wen was trapped in Chaoge for seven years, and Xi Qi was already in chaos. Qi seems to have become a piece of pure land.

It is precisely because Ji Fa is good at governing the country that Fengming Qishan's warning appears.

Jiang Ziya nodded. He still knew Ji Fa's ability. Every time he went to battle, he never worried about chaos in the rear: "Please rest assured, King Zhou. The tyranny of King Zhou has caused the world's princes to be alienated. Tang's roots have been destroyed, even if Deng Jiugong and his ilk can only show off their prestige for a while, when the time comes, they will surely be wiped out."

Ji Faxi said: "I firmly believe in Xiangfu's words. Xiangfu and the generals have important matters to discuss, so I won't bother you." After speaking, Ji Fa returned home with his guards. He has always been unable to intervene, so he simply let go and handed it over to Jiang Ziya.

"Farewell to the King."

As soon as Ji Fa left, the solemn atmosphere returned to the hall. The generals waited for Jiang Ziya to sum up the experience of failure, and then arrange the next battle plan.It's just that Li Jing and Wei Hu knew in their hearts that the Xiqi Sutra was defeated so badly that they might have to cultivate for a month or two before going to war.

King Wu didn't blame himself, Jiang Ziya breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that at this juncture, King Wu would follow the officials to make a fuss, then he was really the first and the second big.Fortunately, King Wu was wise and did not pursue his responsibility at this juncture.

"This battle was caused by my disadvantaged command, so I decided to reflect on it for two months. Without my order in these two months, no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law."

All the generals nodded one after another. It would be unwise to fight Deng Jiu openly after losing the battle.
