Chapter 160: It's not the situation that's bad
It was already impossible for Ji Fa to leave, and the chief general of the Great Shang allocated three hundred-man teams to block their way, six hundred against two hundred, and the strength of the two sides was very different. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ji Fa sent someone to explain the situation in front of the battle: We are here to hunt, not to fight. But the other party was indifferent to their words, and the encirclement continued to shrink.
A vicious battle always lasts for a while before the situation is bad, what is the name of a vicious battle to knock down the opponent with a punch? The generals of the merchant army surrounded Ji Fa and the others to prevent them from escaping, and then sent people to run back to Chaoge to ask for reinforcements.
He knew that the king of Shang could no longer send any reinforcements, and the other great Shang armies were all out on the expedition, and he would definitely not be able to come back for a while. So, who would dare to say that he was not the Heavenly Jade Pillar of the Great Shang after these tired divisions who had just conquered Dongyi and won a great victory, and then took Xibo's "army" in one fell swoop?
Ji Fa's two hundred people rushed left and right in the encirclement of the merchant army and could not escape, but none of his men were lost. This made him wonder, could it be that the combat effectiveness of the invincible Great Shang Army was like this?
During this hunting, Ji Hair Belt had very few entourage guards, except for him and his close guards who rode in a wooden cart, the rest of the people ran underground.
This time he brought out five wooden carts, each drawn by two horses, which were so fast that if he wanted to escape, he could rush out, but what about the people on foot?
Sitting in the same seat with him were four other people, who were armed with special abilities and protected Ji Fa with the car. The person who was standing in front of Ji Fa and driving the car had three heads and six arms, and his current name was unknown, but it was indeed perfect for him to set up the car.
He didn't have to shake his head from side to side in the car to see the road and the enemy, and he didn't even have to tell him aloud where to go, he only needed a gesture and he saw it.
The two hands in front of him grasped the reins of a horse in one hand, and steered the two horses with ease, while the other two sets of arms on the left and right each held a large club, and knocked out the arrows fired by the opponent and the approaching enemy.
The other man had no arrows, and no one knew his name. He can shoot four arrows in a row in the blink of an eye, and the arrows don't miss.
There was also a man so big that he didn't even wear a helmet. Because his pride was all over his head, he didn't have to wear a heavy and obstructive helmet, nothing could leave a scar on his head.
There was also a small man with a small shovel in his hand, the material of which no one could say at the time, but it was much harder than copper, and it was no problem to chop hard stone and tough bronze wine bottles.
He didn't have to take part in the fight, he hid in the carriage. Unless Ji Fa's car is stuck somewhere, he will jump down with agility, or quickly dig a few shovels of earth pads from elsewhere to get it out of the wheel, or shovel away the block in front of the wheel, so that the car can start quickly.
These people were all collected for him by Ji Fa's father, Ji Chang, and their parents were very ordinary ordinary people - no different from ordinary people, perhaps because of a comet's tail sweeping over this place, they appeared together.
Even so, if the generals of the merchant army were ruthless at the beginning, they would not be able to escape. He was waiting for the king of Shang to send someone to deliver the letter and let him support him alone. Then he could wipe them out with a wave of his hand.
But soon he was disappointed, and a large number of reinforcements came in the direction of the song, and the force was so great that they far outnumbered his own men. This was plucked out of the hands of the slave owners.
Of course, there were also the slaves in the royal palace, where there were quite a few middle and lower officials and servants, and those subordinates, bureaucrats, servants, and taitais were all slaves, and their tasks were usually only to maintain the lights, to keep the time, to fetch water, to sprinkle and sweep, to guard, and to serve their kings and queens.
For example, in winter, they would go far south to get ice from the great rivers, pull the ice to the shadow of the city and bury it deeply, and then dig it up in the summer for the king and queen to cool off, and the ice that could not be used would be sold at a high price with other small slave owners.
The appearance of reinforcements was a big surprise to the merchant generals, and things became difficult to handle. There are so many enemies, and when they arrive on the battlefield, the truth will be revealed, and his deception will be unbunked.
Instead of letting him use it against Ji Fa, the best men were sent to block the reinforcements and get them back. But how difficult it is to organize a person, and how to share the spoils if they return in vain? How do you get the strong captives? The reinforcements were led by a slave owner who didn't want to turn back, and insisted on seeing the reality of the battlefield.
In the ranks, there was the little slave owner who was indignant against Fei Zhong, and he was not afraid of the exaggerated words of the merchant army who prevented them from moving forward. He had a sturdy retinue by his side.
He didn't believe it, "What kind of fierce battle, if that's the case, you can still stand here calmly and stop us?" Why don't you fight? "This is an opportunity for him to change from a small slave owner who goes unnoticed to a big slave owner.
He doesn't go back. His words also served as a stabilizing factor in the initial vacillation of the reinforcements. The brigade moved on.
Ji Fa was at a loss, and he found that the lineup of the merchant army had grown again, and the people were all over the mountains, pushing and shoving each other, first the junior soldiers, and then the leaders of each other.
The few people in the encirclement embarrassed one side and the other angry. They don't mind settling their internal contradictions first in front of outsiders who are not threatening, how can they do things well if they don't reach an agreement?
At this time, outside the encirclement, a chariot rumbled out from the west, with more than thirty rides, and they had come to meet Ji Fa in a planned manner. The white-haired leader has a bright head, his name has not changed, and his name is still Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya also eats fish and also fishes with a hook with a barb. Legend has it that he only did it once when he fished straight with a straight hook, and he hooked Ji Fa.
It was he who suggested that Ji Fa go east to hunt along the valley of the great river, and he said that the river came out of the mouth of Mengjin, and there was a wide grassland, and there were many prey on the grassland.
There was still a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and Jiang Ziya handed Ji a pre-written text, "Read!" ”
Ji Fa's voice is loud and loud, and he reads according to the script. He said: Evil is a gentleman, and there is virtue in heaven. Its deeds are very good, and it is not far from extinction. In the king of Biyin, it is said that people have lives, it is said that worship is not feasible, it is said that sacrifices are useless, and it is said that violence is not harmful. God is impermanent, and nine have to die; God is disobedient, and I wish him a funeral. But I have a week, and I receive a big business.
First, the generals and slave owners of the merchant army were stunned, and they understood. Jiang Ziya said to Ji Fa again, "Tell those slaves that as long as they lay down their weapons, they will be given civilian status." Ji Fa shouted out this time.
