Prehistoric six ears against the sky

Chapter 157 First Battle
Jinjiling has Dashang's garrison. Although the number is small, they are not in charge of combat, but in charge of vigilance. They give advance warning to Sishuiguan. Although Kong Xuan was originally the chief soldier, he is lower than the other chief soldiers First level, and Sun Ming broke several levels in a row and promoted him to general, and now he is a general.

In this way, Kong Xuan was grateful, so Zai Chaoge never used supernatural powers or spells, and acted strictly according to the laws of the world.
As early as when he was confirmed as the vanguard, Kong Xuan asked Shen Gongbao about Jiang Ziya's situation. In the court songs, everyone said that Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya were brothers. Now one is the prime minister of Xiqi, and the other is the national teacher of Dashang. The status is not low. As for why both of them are in high positions, not many people know about it.

And Shen Gongbao didn't dare to underestimate Kong Xuan, because he couldn't see through Kong Xuan. He is very impressive, leading fifty thousand soldiers like a fish in water in the north, he is also a remarkable figure.

Shen Gongbao didn't dare to be negligent, so he directly talked about Jiang Ziya. In Shen Gongbao's eyes, Jiang Ziya was not as good as himself in everything, especially in terms of Taoism. However, after Jiang Ziya became a teacher, he didn't just learn Taoism. The cultivation base of the saint is also the one that has followed the original for the longest time. Although he is a registered disciple, he has learned a lot, so it is hard to say how.

Kong Xuan didn't dare to be careless with Jiang Ziya, after all, the other party was also a disciple of a sage, although his practice was rubbish, but what about the others?Kong Xuan couldn't see clearly at the current time, but he knew that a big change was coming. If he left now, he could escape the catastrophe, but he would not leave.

When Kong Xuan was promoted to the quasi-sage hundreds of years ago, he was seriously injured. What he used was not the method of beheading the corpse, but the way of proving the way with strength. Not much for him now.

When he was seriously injured, he was rescued by Shang Tang, the founder of the Great Shang Dynasty. After recovering from his injuries, he became the general soldier in Jinji Ridge, and he was most familiar with this place, so he was so careful.

Originally Shang Tang, a mortal, should not be able to cure Kong Xuan, but by chance, Shang Tang got a elixir from the holy city, which was refined by Sun Ming in the past, and the specific effect of Shang Tang is not clear, but It was urgent to save people, and he had no other choice, so he directly convinced Kong Xuan.It can also be said that Sun Ming saved Kong Xuan's life, but they didn't know it, so Kong Xuan would be an official in Dashang.

Now that Kong Xuan, as a vanguard officer, naturally has to be careful everywhere, especially Jiang Ziya is also a Taoist. He doesn't use supernatural powers and Taoism now, but the other party may not use it, so it's better to be more careful.

"Where are the scouts?" Kong Xuan sat on the horse and shouted loudly, while the scouts on the side were rushing forward.

"What orders does the general have?" Dui Zheng asked.

"Send a large number of scouts, and immediately investigate the road ahead, especially on both sides, and go to Jinji Ridge at the same time to see how the barracks are doing there?" Kong Xuan ordered.

"General, further ahead is where the Jinjiling troops are stationed, so there should be no problem, right? If there is a problem, they must have reported it earlier." The team said righteously.

"Huh?" Kong Xuan frowned, "Is this how you train?"

"No, it's just..."

"Okay, don't talk too much, just do it directly, you must be careful, and don't be negligent in the slightest, or the military law will be followed." Kong Xuan's face darkened.

The team was in a hurry to respond, and then left in a hurry, and then dozens of scouts rode away and scattered around, while the army began to move forward slowly, forming a battle formation at the same time, but it was more than ten miles ahead, without the slightest problem, and Kong Xuan felt very bad.

"Order, stop advancing." Kong Xuan's order made the commanders, commanders, and team leaders in the army very puzzled, but the military order was like a mountain, and the army stopped advancing, while Kong Xuan frowned and waited for the return of the scouts.

However, the sky began to dim, and there were still no scouts back. The scout team was getting anxious, but Kong Xuan smiled, "The army retreated ten miles and camped." up.

The road to Jinji Ridge is actually very wide, but compared to the [-] troops, it is narrow. Kong Xuan knew it clearly, but after they left Sishui Pass today, no one from Jinji Ridge came to greet them. It's a bit suspicious, although this is not necessary, but he is the commander-in-chief here, and he must be greeted by his former comrades when he returns today.

Kong Xuan is also good at the law of the five elements, which is innately known, and his own five-color divine light is the light of the essence of the five elements, so he can brush everything. The five elements are the foundation of all things, so his senses are very sensitive. Cai Guang sent scouts to attack.

"Hey, the leader of the army this time is Kong Xuan, the great general of the great merchants. He is indeed a talented general, and he has seen a flaw." Among the mountains and forests on both sides of Jinjiling Avenue, Xiqi's army is hidden. The last time Jiang Ziya dispatched only [-] troops, all of them were Xiqi's elite soldiers, so they ambushed here quietly, and the Jinjiling barracks had already been attacked, and no one escaped to ascend to heaven. Jiang Ziya used Taoism when he attacked , Annihilate a thousand-man team here. It turns out that there are a lot of troops here. After all, they want to defend against the western princes.

And now it is Jiang Ziya who is talking. He returned without success the first time he sent troops, but he is not going to lie in ambush anymore. There is no advantage anymore. The other party has already discovered the problem, so they will naturally find a way to solve it.

"Withdraw troops." Jiang Ziya ordered to retreat, and the army began to retreat in the direction of Xiqi, while the Dashang scouts hiding around hurriedly sent people back.

Kong Xuan's army retreated, but since they already knew that the opponent was in an ambush, how could they not pay attention, so after retreating, they sent scouts to lurk over and observe the opponent's movements under the condition that the sky was getting dark and their sight was unclear. Even if 10 people are careful, the momentum of retreat will not be small, and the scouts will find it from a distance, so some people will follow and some will report.

"Haha, Jiang Ziya really has an ambush. It seems that the Jinjiling Barracks has been lost, but the other party is retreating now to conclude that we will not march late at night, but I did the opposite and ordered the army to set off." Although Kong Xuan said to set up camp, However, they didn't take all the actions. It was just a superficially busy front. Now the army is dispatched directly, and the civilian husbands just stay behind to clean up.

The 5000 forwards of the army were all armed with swords and shields, advancing carefully, while the army followed far behind, heading straight for the Jinjiling barracks.The forward walked for more than an hour, because he didn't dare to go too fast, so he could only advance quietly. Naturally, this speed was not faster than the normal marching speed during the day.

The barracks here are brightly lit, and the signs of battle have disappeared. Jiang Ziya's [-] troops are preparing to camp here tonight. The infantry is assembled and is on standby at any time, the arrow formation is ready to attack, prepare a lot of rockets, I want to see how Jiang Ziya escapes today."

It didn't take long for the army to be ready. After all, they were well-trained and moved in an orderly manner, "ignite." Kong Xuan gave an order, and the archers in the shock-absorbing phalanx lit the fire directly, then bent their bows and set their arrows, "let it go."

"Om..." The sound of the air vibrating was far away in the middle of the night. Jiang Ziya in the camp was still thinking about the countermeasures for tomorrow, but at this moment, he knew it was not good when he heard the sound, so he hurried out of the tent and looked up. At a glance, the rain of fire fell all over the sky.

"Come here, order the troops to withdraw." Jiang Ziya yelled, but the rain of arrows had already arrived. The rockets could not only injure the soldiers, but also set fire to the tents. However, due to the range of the shots, they could only cover the front of the camp, and most of the rear. The place cannot be shot.

But Kong Xuan is also prepared, "The infantry phalanx advances, the crossbowmen cover, and the arrow array advances fifty steps." In the dark night, in a barracks lit by a fire, the soldiers fled in panic, while the other side was There was a dark crowd, rising and falling with the footsteps.

Kong Xuan knew that this battle must be won, but the victors were limited. After all, he did not bring cavalry with him. A thousand cavalry were just scouts. This is a great achievement.

He doesn't care about the credit, but he just wants to be worthy of Shang Tang and the current king. Sometimes it is not a big victory that is a great achievement. Now his first task is to gain a firm foothold. If this task is not achieved, he will be guilty.

Jiang Ziya saw the sea of ​​fire in the front battalion and the wailing of the soldiers, but he couldn't care less about putting out the fire and saving people now. The footsteps of the opposing army were heavy, and they were approaching. He didn't expect that the first battle would be a defeat, so he couldn't bear it. But now we have to retreat. Just now it seems that it is Da Shang's arrow array. According to Da Shang's configuration, this is an arrow array of 5 people, of which [-] are bows and the other [-] are crossbow arrows. This battle is impossible.

Fortunately, the place where the fire was burned was not big, it was all in the front, and the rear was unimpeded. Jiang Ziya hurriedly organized manpower to arrange the retreat. If Sun Ming were here now, he would just smile. Jiang Ziya was a soy saucer in Fengshen. It is inevitable to ask for reinforcements, and then the front-line battle will win, the army will advance, and if it loses, it will be exempted from the battle, and then go to invite people.

Are disciples of saints very good?Will the saints line up?Do saints know people's hearts?They don't know these things, and Jiang Ziya's ability to govern Xiqi is mostly his own analysis. He is indeed a man with the appearance of a flying bear, and he is born to be an official.
