The heavens start from Quanzhen swordsmanship

"Qiu Yin."

Inside Qinglong Pass, Xu Zhiqing learned that the commander guarding Qinglong Pass was not someone else, but Qiu Yin.

The original commander of Qinglong Pass was Zhang Guifang, but Zhang Guifang led his troops to attack Xiqi, but was defeated and killed.

He handed Qinglong Pass over to Qiu Yin.

"I just don't know what this guy is capable of?"

After Xu Zhiqing understood this, he sensed the Zhou army camp outside Qinglong Pass.

Now Jiang Ziya, Nezha and others are stationed ten miles outside Qinglong Pass.

They began to build artillery carts in preparation for an assault on Qinglong Pass.

"A violent attack is too cruel for ordinary soldiers."

Xu Zhiqing knew that the soldiers attacking the city would always suffer the most deaths.

However, if the defender of Qinglong Pass is smart, he can just hold on to the city.

Xu Zhiqing was in Qinglong Pass, and all he wanted was to look for Qiu Yin.

As long as he kills the Qinglong Pass guard and others, he should be able to unlock the Sutra Library.

Xu Zhiqing thought about it in his mind, and when night came, he arrived at Zhou’s camp.

"uncle?"

Yang Jiao was surprised to see Xu Zhiqing appear here.

"How did you come?"

"Of course I'm here to help you."

Xu Zhiqing smiled and said, "It is not easy to take down Qinglong Pass. If we can get rid of the guard of Qinglong Pass in advance, it will be fine."

"Uncle, what can you do?"

Yang Jiao quickly asked for solutions.

"Just focus on fighting."

Xu Zhiqing chuckled and said, "Wait for the guard of Qinglong Pass to come out, and I will help you capture him. This way, we won't have to spend too much effort and can take down Qinglong Pass."

When Yang Jiao heard this, he was overjoyed.

"I'll go find my uncle now."

Under the leadership of Yang Jiao, Xu Zhiqing met Jiang Ziya again.

"I have met the True Lord Xianhua."

When Jiang Ziya saw Xu Zhiqing appear, he also felt happy.

If Nezha and Yang Jiao are both relatively strong in his opinion, then the strength of this Manifested True Lord is unfathomable.

"Uncle Master, my uncle wants to help us capture the guard of Qinglong Pass."

Yang Jiao briefly recounted the story of Xu Zhiqing's visit.

"With the help of Xianhua Zhenjun, Qinglong Pass will be easily conquered."

Jiang Ziya said this with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he asked curiously, "Doesn't Xianhua Zhenjun reveal himself easily? Why did you come to help us this time?"

In the past, the Manifested True Lords rarely took action, and usually they would only take action when they had no other choice.

However, this time, Xianhua Zhenjun actually showed up on his own initiative.

This couldn't help but make him curious.

"It will be impossible to capture Qinglong Pass only if too many ordinary soldiers die, so you will all lure out the guards of Qinglong Pass."

"As long as we capture the guards of Qinglong Pass, there won't be so many casualties."

Xu Zhiqing confessed the truth.

He chose to help Xiqi, so he will help Xiqi to the end.

"What is Xianhua Zhenjun going to do?"

Xu Zhiqing smiled.

"You can write down on the paper the crimes of King Zhou, his past victories, Deng Jiugong's defection to Xiqi, and Zhang Guifang's death."

"Then find a way to throw all those papers into Qinglong Pass one by one."

"Oh, and about Xiqi's kindness. Xiqi is now a benevolent army. Write all this down on the paper."

"When the people and soldiers of Qinglong Pass know this, their resistance will not be so intense."

Xu Zhiqing’s words made Jiang Ziya’s eyes light up.

"Wonderful!"

Why didn't he think of this?

In his view, siege means to attack with force and just fight your way through.

It is possible to win or it is possible to lose.

These are all uncertain. When was this kind of psychological warfare strategy used in war?
“I didn’t expect that Xianhua Zhenjun is also proficient in combat.”

In Jiang Ziya's view, many people who practice Taoism only know how to practice Taoism, but are not good at any military tactics.

Even if there are any ideas, they are not serious ideas.

It's not like now. The combat methods proposed by Xianhua Zhenjun are completely based on attacking the heart.

Once the soldiers guarding Qinglong Pass lose their resistance, it will be very easy for their Xiqi soldiers to attack Qinglong Pass again.

Another thing is that if the other party doesn’t show up, it doesn’t matter to them.

"Then do as Xianhua Zhenjun ordered."

Jiang Ziya directly ordered his subordinates to start writing down what Xu Zhiqing said on paper one by one.

It only took them half a day to make a very thick sheet of paper.

Piles of paper were written.

"Lei Zhenzi, obey my orders!"

If you want to throw these papers in, it is obvious that only Lei Zhenzi and Nezha are suitable.

So after Jiang Ziya called Lei Zhenzi, he also called Nezha.

"Oh, by the way, we can also use stone cannon carts to drive these things in."

Nezha and Lei Zhenzi naturally obeyed the order.

Soon the army began to move out.

When the soldiers of Zhou camp appeared under the city wall, they pulled out a number of artillery carts.

On the city wall of Qinglong Pass, the atmosphere suddenly became more tense.

The leader was Qiu Yin, who was the commander of Qinglong Pass.

He looked at the Zhou camp soldiers who were beginning to line up, and said to his deputy general Chen Qi, "Archers, get ready!"

"Once the enemy gets close, let the archers shoot."

"Also, are the log rolling, golden juice, and the like ready?"

Since they were defending the city walls, they had to prepare defensive equipment.

Chen Qi said softly: "We are ready. Once they launch an attack, we will definitely give them a good beating."

He said curiously: "Don't these soldiers from Zhou camp take a break? They have only been here for less than two days, and they are so eager to capture our Qinglong Pass?"

"Aren't they too anxious?"

Qiu Yin chuckled and said, "Maybe they underestimated us!"

The two said it lightly, but they were very solemn in their hearts.

Their apparent ease was for the soldiers to see.

The reason why they were solemn was that the soldiers in Zhou camp were actually in high spirits.

Their Shang army suffered many defeats.

Morale can be said to be low.

Fortunately, they were all on the defending side.

The two of them thought so in their hearts, and then waited for the Zhou camp soldiers below to attack the city wall.

However, after watching for a long time, they found that the other party had not attacked yet.

"Something's not right!"

Chen Qi looked at the soldiers in front of him.

He frowned, "Why don't they have any regular soldiers showing up, all are artillery vehicles?"

"Are they going to throw stones at us?"

"Get the shield soldiers ready. Once they launch the stone cannons, let the shields block the stones." Following Qiu Yin's order, Chen Qi also ordered all the soldiers to get ready.

Archers and shield soldiers, all in place.

"All soldiers are ready."

After Chen Qi said this, he continued to look at Zhou Jun outside.

However, the other side kept pushing artillery carts, and basically no one came to attack the city.

"What do they want to do?"

Just when he was wondering, he finally saw Zhou Jun's men start loading things into the artillery cart.

"They're ready to throw rocks."

Qiu Yin said something, and Chen Qi quickly gave orders.

Soon, the soldiers on the entire city wall became more solemn and murderous.

"If they just use us up like this once, it won't hurt us at all."

As soon as Chen Qi finished his words, he saw the other side's artillery formation, which then started to attack.

Groups of black things all hit their city walls.

"Get ready!"

Following Qiu Yin's words, the soldiers on the city wall hid behind the battlements one by one, and the shield soldiers raised their shields to prevent stones from falling from the sky and hitting their heads.

Bang bang bang!
As they were ready, the "stone" fired by Zhou Ying finally fell.

Stones fell on them like hail.

However, they did not feel any particularly heavy force as they held up their shields.

Qiu Yin and Chen Qi, who were hiding behind the battlements, suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Isn't the opponent's attack force too weak?"

Qiu Yin glanced at the city below and found that the Zhou army soldiers were only launching attacks but did not have any siege equipment such as ladders.

This made him and Chen Qi a little confused.

Just when the two were wondering, they suddenly heard a noisy sound.

"What is this?"

"It's not stone, it's paper."

"Look at what's written on it..."

After hearing the discussion, Qiu Yin and Chen Qi also took a black paper ball.

When they opened it and saw the contents inside, both of them turned pale.

Because what was written on the paper were all some ridiculous things that King Zhou had done.

In addition, there were also papers stating that the Zhou army did not want any casualties among ordinary soldiers and civilians.

Therefore, they hope that the best solution is to solve it through fighting.

As long as the other side can defeat their generals, they will not choose to use siege.

These words written on the papers were very touching to the soldiers on the city wall.

They also knew that although they were the ones defending the city, no one could guarantee that they would not survive this war.

However, the paper given to them by Zhou Jun made them understand that there was another way to attack the city.

In addition, after they saw what King Zhou did, they all cursed him in their hearts.

The Zhou army also said that they were originally from Xiqi.

They didn't want to rebel against King Zhou at all, but King Zhou was too stupid and cruel, and finally they had no choice but to rebel with their special forces.

And there were many responses from all over the world.

The soldiers at Qinglong Pass didn't know this.

They only knew that if there was a way to resolve this war without getting hurt, they would be happier than anyone else.

After they finished reading the contents on the paper, they all looked at Qiu Yin and Chen Qi.

Chen Qi hurriedly said, "Hurry up and get someone to put away those papers."

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that something was not right.

Not only him, but the rest of the soldiers noticed it as well.

Pieces of paper fluttered down from the sky.

These papers not only fell on the city walls, but many of them also fell inside the city walls and into the homes of the people.

"Go and get them to gather them up!"

Chen Qi directly ordered the soldiers to collect the papers.

They moved quickly, but there were too many papers, and they didn't know the other party had used such a disgusting method.

When they gathered the papers, they only gathered part of them.

Moreover, all the contents above were discovered by the civilians and ordinary soldiers in the city.

"How to do?"

Chen Qi looked at Qiu Yin.

Qiu Yin had a gloomy face and he was in a bad mood as well.

He could sense that the soldiers around him were not very enthusiastic about fighting after reading the contents on those papers.

"It was also written on the paper that they would not be attacking the city within seven days, giving us generals something to consider."

The seven-day period was the idea of ​​Jiang Ziya.

He felt that since it was a psychological attack, it would be better to drag it out.

This way it can ferment for a while.

In addition, their Xiqi army is a benevolent army.

They would not attack the city right away, but instead let the defenders of Qinglong Pass prepare themselves to either let the ordinary soldiers die or they would be willing to fight upon invitation.

They chose to put the pressure on Qiu Yin.

After Nezha and Lei Zhenzi threw all the papers, they returned.

Inside the camp.

Jiang Ziya looked at Xianhua Zhenjun who was sitting beside him with his eyes closed and pretending to be asleep.

He exclaimed: "Once this method is implemented, the morale of ordinary soldiers will be completely destroyed. In addition, after our soldiers learned about it, their morale was also boosted."

Because they also said that if the other side chose to fight, they would not let those soldiers attack the city.

Soldiers attacking a city all know that there is basically no chance of survival.

However, the engineering work also played a significant role.

The soldiers in Zhou camp were in high spirits, and the ordinary soldiers in Qinglong Pass did not want to die either.

So they were all waiting for the general's decision.

Xu Zhiqing had been observing and found that the soldiers at Qinglong Pass seemed unwilling to fight anymore. They were all waiting for Qiu Yin's decision.

If he were Qiu Yin, what he would do now is not to leave the city, but to defend it strictly.

Another thing is to spread the word that the soldiers in Xiqi are all liars and so on.

In short, propaganda and counter-propaganda are the same.

If Qiu Yin cannot resolve the psychological knots of those ordinary soldiers, even if they face the attack of Zhou army next time, their resistance will not be too fierce.

Anyway, the Zhou army also said that even if they took Qinglong Pass, they would not harm the soldiers and civilians there.

In this way, the soldiers of Qinglong Pass will naturally not resist too fiercely.

If someone resisted fiercely, then the resulting "accidental injuries" would not be the fault of the Zhou army, but the blame should be placed on Qiu Yin, the general of Qinglong Pass.

A day passed and the situation in the city was still fine.

Two days later, some people began to get agitated.

Three days later, some people began to ask Qiu Yin for help.

Facing the pressure of the gazes, Qiu Yin finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Since the other party has chosen the method of fighting a general, let's ask, what kind of fighting method is it?"

After he finished speaking, he ordered his soldiers to send someone to Zhou's camp to ask for advice on how to fight the general.

Jiang Ziya and others saw the envoy from Qinglong Pass arriving.

He smiled.

"Xianhua Zhenjun is indeed amazing!" (End of this chapter)
