Chapter Seventy-Seven. Break two levels in a row
After a chaotic battle, the generals of the merchant camp were either killed or captured, and the morale plummeted, and the merchant side was quickly defeated and fled, and the army of tens of thousands of people collapsed in an instant.
For the next month and a half, the soldiers of Xiqi were capturing prisoners all over the mountains, and finally the Yin Shang soldiers who were able to successfully escape from Xiqi were no longer one in a hundred, and only a few hundred people fled back to the rear of the Bishui Pass.
And Lu Zhi did not follow Jiang Ziya's advice and returned to Xiqi to prepare, but directly mobilized heavy troops, directly out of Xiqi, through Yanshan, through Taohualing, and then to Shouyang Mountain, and then directly entered the Bishui Pass!
In the past few years, the Xiqi side has already accumulated enough strength and troops to reverse the Yin Shang, but out of strategic considerations, Lu Zhi has been steadily developing for another year, thinking about continuing to slowly consume some of the Yin Shang's troops and heritage.
But this time, since Senior Brother Xuandu has spoken, let him destroy Yin Shang as soon as possible, then there is no need to hide anything, with Xiqi's current strength, it is enough to overturn these five levels and directly enter the Song City!
After all, when Chaoge had been conquering Xiqi for many years, most of the defenders of Bishui Pass had already been transferred, and the materials used were all supplied by Bishui Pass, which was already overwhelmed.
The two guards of the Bishui Pass, Han Rong and Yu Hua, have already all folded in Xiqi, and they have not been able to re-elect new guards to guard the pass, and now there are only 10,000 guards in the pass, and there are only a few generals, how can they stop the people in Xiqi.
When he arrived at the Bishui Pass, Lu Zhi directly ordered a strong attack, and the defenders of the Bishui Pass resisted, but it only took less than an hour to announce the break, and was driven straight into by the Xiqi army to capture the pass.
Then came the boundary card pass, which was also easily taken by the non-stop Xiqi generals.
After all, the original guard of the Jiepai Pass was the father of Huang Feihu, the old general Huang Rolling was in charge, and the rest of the deputy generals and soldiers were mostly the Huang brothers and his own soldiers.
Therefore, since Huang Roll took the people of the Huang family and the personal soldiers under his command to rebel against the song with Huang Feihu, most of the garrison force of Jiepai Pass was instantly emptied, and until now, no suitable person has been found to come to guard.
And the soldiers of the Jiepai Pass were mostly under the command of the Huang family such as the old general Huang Roll, and now as soon as the Xiqi army arrived, Huang Feihu and Huang Feibao, Huang Feibiao and several others came forward to shout under the pass, moving with affection and knowing reason.
Coupled with the heavy pressure of the army, the defenders in the pass suddenly had a thought, and they fought first, and after killing several diehards who resolutely did not open the city, the remaining people immediately took the initiative to open the city gate to welcome Huang Feihu and others and the Xiqi army into the city.
In less than two days, the Xiqi army drove straight in, and in an instant, it was connected to two levels, and the news was transmitted back to Chaoge, which immediately made the king Emperor Xin and the court officials angry.
He was both terrified that Xiqi had developed to such a point and had the ability to reverse the Song City, and he was angry at their rebellion.
Di Xin was even above the court meeting at that time, and in front of the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, he was furious, and dragged several unlucky ministers down to fill the pot in the palace!
But anger turned to anger, but Di Xin had to suppress the anger in his heart, once again spoke out to discuss with the ministers, and sent suitable people to reinforce the next pass of Xiqi's eastward march through the cloud pass, in case the Xiqi army directly broke through the five passes, drove straight in, and hit Chaoge.
Just like the situation in the previous levels, Chen Wu, the guard who pierced the cloud pass, was also killed by Huang Feihu when Huang Feihu passed the five levels, and now there is no master general in the pass.
Although compared to the situation where there are almost no generals in Bishui Pass and Jiepai Pass, the situation in Chuanyun Pass is much better, and there are at least a few deputy generals in charge, but it is impossible to stop the Xiqi army with this point of manpower.
Therefore, after discussing with the Chaoge side, even if several reinforcements were drawn from the generals and soldiers guarding the passes in the southeast, north and south, they reinforced, and reinforced, such as Chuanyun Pass and Tongguan Pass in the west.
On the other hand, Lu Zhi was not in a hurry to knock down the Cloud Piercing Pass, after all, they had just broken two levels in a row, and the soldiers needed to repair it, and the two levels that were laid also needed to be managed by special personnel.
And the Cloud Piercing Pass is not like the Bishui Pass, the situation like the Jiepai Pass, and then want to attack and take it in one fell swoop, but it is unlikely, but it is easy to make chaos in the rear, it is better to repair it first, and then make plans slowly.
Then, this repair, that is, the time of January has passed, and the Bishui Pass and the Jiepai Pass in the rear have also been controlled by the people sent by the Xiqi side, and there will be no more danger of change, so far, Lu Zhi is ready to march towards the Cloud Piercing Pass again.
Jiepai Pass, Xiqi Daying.
Hearing that Lu Zhi wanted to move troops to the Cloud Piercing Pass again, Jiang Ziya immediately hurriedly found Lu Zhishuai's tent.
"Marshal, no, now that our army has just experienced all kinds of fierce battles, and has won the Bishui Pass and the Jiepai Pass, it is the time to recuperate."
"And in the two levels of Bishui Pass and Jiepai Pass, there are still many things that have not been dealt with completely, and if you move troops at this moment, I am afraid that there will be a risk of chaos."
Lu Zhi said: "You can deal with such internal affairs as Prime Minister, but if the commander wants to send troops, he also has considerations, thinking that Chaoge City, in the past few days, he has been constantly mobilizing troops from all sides, and there are nearly 100,000 people who have come to this Cloud Pass for reinforcements. ”
"If I wait any longer, I'm afraid that when I want to fight this Cloud Piercing Pass again, this Cloud Piercing Pass will definitely have become a hard bone, but if I want to conquer it again, I don't know how much effort I will have to spend and how many soldiers will be injured than at this time."
"Therefore, Ben Shuai sent troops at this moment, also taking into account this situation, and Ben Shuai is sure that he can take advantage of the fact that the defenders and reinforcements in the Cloud Piercing Pass have not yet run in well, and capture this pass in one fell swoop!"
But Jiang Ziya still shook his head and said, "No, no!" ”
"Marshal, listen to me, when I returned to Kunlun before, Shizun Yuan Shi once criticized me, saying that there must be 36 routes of soldiers and horses to attack me, and only after I have destroyed these 36 routes of soldiers and horses one by one, can I have no worries and overthrow this Yin Shang in one fell swoop."
"And at this moment, the soldiers and horses who came to attack us and others only came twenty-one times, and I waited here to attack Chaoge, and I must be blocked!"
"And on the god list, the god position that has returned to the throne is still just halfway through, but it is not yet the time for us to wait for the success."
Lu Zhi turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ziya, and he didn't know if he really believed in the criticism of Yuan Shi Tianzun, or if Yuan Shi Tianzun had instructed him to make a good plan and get out of this catastrophe with all the people he taught.
Lu Zhi was noncommittal about this, but since Jiang Ziya had already said so, it would be okay to wait a few more days.
After all, in the final analysis, the leaders of this god catastrophe are still Jiang Ziya, and the two people who are flying bears who are acting in secret, and it is impossible for Lu Zhi to break away from Jiang Ziya and complete this catastrophe.
Then, another two months passed in a flash, and it was about to enter winter, and it was not suitable to use troops after winter, Lu Zhi finally couldn't wait, and ordered to gather the soldiers, ready to go to the cloud pass to test it first.
If they can capture the Cloud Pass in one fell swoop, then they will spend the winter in the Cloud Pass, if not, they will retreat, and wait for the spring season of the next year, and then attack and seize the Pass.
However, the result of this battle was beyond Lu Zhi's expectations, and the Xiqi army returned with a crushing defeat under the Cloud Piercing Pass!
When Lu Zhi led his troops to the Cloud Pass, he saw that the soldiers of the Cloud Pass had already prepared and lined up in the field, and then fought a fierce battle with the Xiqi army, and the enemy retreated, and the Xiqi generals immediately led the army to catch up.
But he didn't think that this was the poisonous trap set by the merchant side.
They sent a team of 10,000 people as a bait and abandoned the son, and led the Xiqi army into an ambush, and then suddenly saw the ambush soldiers of the merchant camp pouring out from all sides, pushing a chariot with white paper, lined up on the left and right, and immediately stimulated the shooting.
For a while, I saw that in the middle of the air, thousands of sharp blades were flying around, and the wind and fire were agitated, as if hundreds of millions of sharp blades were flashing vertically and horizontally, and the wind and fire were roaring, which suddenly made the Xiqi army suffer a big loss!
