My uncles are all big guys

"This boy is not simple!"

Grand Master Wen Zhong, who was being protected, murmured as he looked at the retreating Clouded Leopard Legion.

Of course, his words were not praising Yang Jian, but Wang Xiao, who was coordinating behind the scenes.

You must know that his choice to raid Qinglong Pass was completely impromptu. No one around him understood why he wanted to go to Qinglong Pass instead of rescuing Jiepaiguan, which was besieged by the army.

As a result, before he even got close to Qinglong Pass, Wang Xiao made a judgment and sent out the fastest Clouded Leopard Legion in the forest to pursue him.

According to the speed of both parties, Grand Master Wen Zhong made an estimate in his mind and came up with a rough guess.

Probably not long after his army turned, Ji Xiao came to a conclusion and made a decisive decision.

"Master, our whereabouts have been exposed, what should we do next?"

Mo Liqing, who did not catch up, quickly asked Grand Master Wen Zhong about his next plan.

Wen Zhong did not respond to him, but frowned and fell into thought.

Based on Ji Xiao's caution, Qinglong Pass might have been heavily fortified, and even the soldiers who ambush him were probably already moving over to surround and suppress him, completely ruining Dashang's last hope.

"Hehehehe..."

Master Wen suddenly smiled. He turned to look at the Four Saints of Kowloon Island, the four brothers of the Demon Family, and the man who had been following the troops in a cloak.

Seeing Grand Master Wen Zhong suddenly laughing, several people were confused.

Grand Master Wen Zhong waved his hand and asked some soldiers to block them. Then he chose a piece of mud, picked up a branch, and started writing quickly.

As he wrote, the expressions of the four generals from Jiulong Island and the Demon Family who gathered around to watch changed.

"Master, you..."

Wen Zhong stretched out his hand to stop Mo Lishou, who wanted to persuade him, "Soldiers are notorious for their cruelty. Victory is to get chestnuts from the fire. Without effort, there is no gain!"

After saying that, he bowed his hands to several people and said, "Wen Zhong, please take care of some fellow Taoists."

Several people fell silent, silently nodded and bowed to Master Wen.

Seeing that several people agreed, Grand Master Wen turned to the general beside him and said: "The order is to choose a high ground to camp on the spot. We will wait for them to come."

Soon, the Dashang Legion chose a high ground to station themselves and began to build defensive facilities.

"Strange, how did they stop?"

On a hillside, the deputy commander of the Clouded Leopard Army looked at the merchant army building a camp despite the heavy rain, with doubts in his eyes.

Yang Jian next to him also frowned, and even almost lost the divine eye in the middle.

"Hey, the rain stopped!"

At this moment, the heavy rain with thunder and lightning that started yesterday finally stopped, and bright sunshine appeared in the sky.

The blazing sunshine shines on the valley, slowly dispersing the rain and fog, leaving the mountains and forests empty.

Under Yang Jian's gaze, a handsome flag was hung opposite.

Under the handsome flag, an old general with a divine eye looked towards him with a serious expression.

The two people's eyes converged in the valley, sizing up each other.

After a long time, Grand Master Wen across from him nodded, and under Yang Jian's gaze, he walked into the tent with figures that looked like the four generals of the Demon Family and others.

"Inform Feiying and report this news to the king."

The enemy suddenly chose to station on a high ground, which made Yang Jian suspicious.

He thought he was quite intelligent, but he didn't know much about war. He didn't know what the old fox on the other side was planning?
Don't move around if the enemy is unknown. This is what Wang Xiao once told him when he was teaching the art of war.

Yang Jian did not take action without permission, but sent the news back immediately.

"Report..."

An announcement sounded.

Yang Jian looked back and saw a Clouded Leopard Cavalry running towards him quickly. "Inform General, the Goshawk Legion has arrived. General Kun asked his subordinates to report to you, requesting the Clouded Leopard Legion to assist them in besieging Wen Taishi's legion."

Yang Jian frowned and said to the messenger: "Go and tell General Kun that something is wrong. It is best to ask the king for instructions before taking action."

Almost everyone in Xiqi's senior management knew that Xiaokun and Xiaohu were Wang Xiao's pets and the closest people to Wang Xiao.

During certain large-scale military activities, if Wang Xiao did not name the commander, and Huang Feihu, as the general marshal of the armed forces, did not follow him, the generals would default to Xiao Kun and Xiaohu as the commander-in-chief.

The ordering soldier clasped his fists to receive the order, then turned around to pass the message.

"Ming!"

However, as soon as he turned around, an eagle's cry suddenly sounded in the sky.

Yang Jian looked up and saw dark clouds flying above the merchant army.

"Ugh!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Jian let out a sigh in his heart. Sure enough, it was like this again.

Among Wang Xiao's men, General Tiger was a forthright person, calling everyone he met his brother and talking over drinks.

But General Kun was very arrogant and looked down upon no one except Wang Xiao, the lord.

It would be fine if he was an arrogant person with no skills, but General Kun was really capable, and everyone could only tolerate his arrogance.

"Forget it, order the troops to prepare for a surprise attack."

Seeing that Xiao Kun's Goshawk Legion launched an attack, Yang Jian shook his head helplessly and gave the order to prepare for battle.

Dark clouds approached quickly in the sky, and the merchant soldiers dropped stones from the sky in preparation for their shouts.

"Buzzing..."

However, this attack failed.

Before the boulder could fall on top of the merchant army, a mysterious light suddenly bloomed on the hill, and a defensive shield bounced all the boulders away.

Immediately below, several strange magic platforms shot out streams of magic power, and the light waves hit the sky.

Screams rang out from the sky, and the birds of the Goshawk Legion that could not dodge fell from the sky in pieces, and some were even directly vaporized on the spot.

"Damn it!"

Yang Jian, who has always had a steady personality, couldn't help but cursed his mother.

"Buzzing..."

Another buzzing sound sounded, and Yang Jian's heart moved. He instantly saw a group of merchants placing some magic altars with swords on the cart and pushing them towards them, aiming at them.

"No, retreat!"

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Violent explosions resounded in the mountain forest. Some clouded leopard soldiers who could not dodge were torn apart by the energy shock wave on the spot. Some flying boulders even injured and killed many soldiers.

"Hahaha... If I had known that this mechanism technique was so powerful, I should have used it when we attacked Sishui Pass."

In the Shang army camp, looking at the sky and the retreating Zhou army on the opposite hillside, Grand Master Wen Zhong looked at the small machine formations placed on the ground or in the car around him, and laughed heartily.

The cloaked man standing on the side raised his head slightly, and a curved smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Wen Taishi is overly praised. It's just some little tricks that can't be put on the stage. It's okay to deal with these mortal soldiers and monks, but it's useless if you encounter those immortal monks."

Master Wen smiled, praised a few more words, and then sighed: "It's a pity that these things consume too much, otherwise not to mention ten Zhou army legions, even a hundred old men wouldn't take them seriously."

However, he couldn't laugh anymore.

As the heavy rain disappeared, a cliff appeared in front of him, and on the cliff, there were three bright red characters.
