Chapter 424: The city is in the west, and it can't be broken
In the next few days, the Northern Expedition army led by Zhou Tianci marched all the way, breaking several big cities of the Shang Kingdom in a row, and the momentum was unstoppable, and it was close to the capital of the Shang Kingdom!
And the only remaining saint Tianchenzi on Shang Guoming's face has never appeared.
The Song army entered the country, unstoppably approaching the national capital, and in the Chaoge City, the hundred officials above the court finally quarreled.
On this day, on the top of the main hall, Zhou Liang, the secretary of the Shang State, said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, now the Song army led by Zhou Tianci has been like a bamboo, and has been killed to Yinyi, five hundred miles southeast of Chaoge. ”
Emperor Xin, the Shang King on the dragon chair, hugged Daji's delicate waist with one hand, enjoyed the warm fragrance of nephrite, and drank a glass of wine that Daji fed to his mouth with a comfortable face, and then calmly looked at Zhou Liang and Baiguan in the main hall, and said lightly: "Then according to Zhou Aiqing's opinion, how should Lone deal with it?" ”
Zhou Liang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, you can order General Ji to lead 100,000 tiger troops and 100,000 Tiance troops to go out of the court, use all the firearms of the Shang State, and fight a decisive battle with the Northern Expedition army of the Song State!" ”
After hearing this, King Shang's face did not change, and he turned to look at Xia Chang, the prime minister who was standing at the head of the hundred officials in the main hall, and asked, "Xia Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
Xia Chang's face was much calmer than Zhou Xiang's, not so worried, and he said: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, there is no need to make such a big effort. We only need to order someone to escort Wang Qi to the front of the battle, and threaten Zhou Tianci with it, he will be in a dilemma! ”
After hearing this, King Shang's face still did not change, nor did he say anything, but turned to look at the national teacher Tianchenzi who was sitting on the side, and said, "National teacher, what do you think?" ”
Tianchenzi, who was dressed in a black robe, saluted the king of Shang slightly when he heard this, and said with an extremely calm expression: "Your Majesty, there is no need for us to use the Tiger Army and the Tiance Army, and there is no need to use Wang Qi as a hostage threat. ”
"Oh?"
When the king of Shang heard this, he became interested and said, "Then according to the meaning of the national teacher, how should we be nicknamed?" ”
Tianchenzi said calmly: "Song Guo has mastered firearms technology now, and they don't need Wang Qi anymore, so they threaten him as a hostage, but I'm afraid it will be ineffective."
There is actually only one reason why the Song army can be so powerful in our country now, that is, there is a saint named Zhou Tianci in the Song army. Therefore, we don't need to send the Tiger Army to a decisive battle with the Tiance Army, nor do we need to use Wang Qi, as long as we solve Zhou Tianci, the Song Army will be defeated. ”
"Zhou Tianci"
King Shang muttered, and then smiled: "It's really interesting, I didn't expect that the young man who was only in the Dacheng realm at the beginning has actually grown into a saint now." It seems that Gu didn't kill him at the beginning, he was really right, after he returned to the Song Kingdom, he really found a lot of fun for Gu.
However, now that he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he couldn't keep his little life. ”
On the top of the main hall, the hundred officials listened to the words of the king of Shang and the national teacher, and the secretary Zhou Liang couldn't help but speak again: "According to the meaning of Your Majesty and the national teacher, is it that the national teacher wants to personally go out to sing the court song and clean up the Zhou Tianci?" ”
When Tianchenzi heard this, he looked at the Shang King and said calmly: "Your Majesty, it is indeed time for me to make a move." ”
King Shang nodded slightly, and said: "Then the national teacher will make a hard trip, go to Yinyi, and take the head of Zhou Tianci back." ”
Tianchenzi said with a calm face: "The old minister takes the order." ”
Seeing that the King of Shang had decided to let the national teacher personally take action, Xiangguo Xia Chang couldn't help frowning slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is a little puzzled, since the national teacher can leave Chaoge and go to the army to help in the war, then why didn't Your Majesty let the national teacher take action earlier."
If I had made a move earlier, I would not have sacrificed so many soldiers in vain. ”
Xia Chang's words were actually also the doubts of the civil and military officials of the Shang State. Zhou Tianci led the Song army into the country, all the way like a bamboo, almost no one could stop him, but the national teacher stayed in Chaoge all the time and did not move.
The officials originally thought that the national teacher was for the safety of the national capital, so they couldn't leave Chaoge. But now it seems that the king of Shang allowed the national teacher to leave the court song and go to the front line to defend against the enemy. If that's the case, why not make a move earlier?
Hearing this, the king of Shang smiled faintly, and said calmly and confidently: "It's very simple, the reason why Gu didn't let the national teacher make an early move is to let Zhou Tianci and the Song army come in!" ”
Hearing King Shang's words, the faces of the hundred officials couldn't help but be surprised, Xia Chang's eyes lit up and said, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”
King Shang sneered: "Doing this, first, can ensure that Zhou Tianci and his Northern Expedition army will not return, and none of them will be able to escape!"
Second, the Song army's invasion of our big business this time actually raised the banner of justice to kill demons and maintain peace and stability in Jinzhou, which is very disgusting.
Therefore, let them enter our country first, attack and kill, and then we will fight back with the sword of justice that protects the people of Li and protects the family and country, and tells the world who is the righteous side of this war!
Then, after annihilating Zhou Tianci's Northern Expeditionary Army, we held high this banner, went out of the country, and went all the way to the south and south to conquer the world! ”
After listening to the words of the king of Shang, Xia Chang of Xiangguo and the civil and military officials in the main hall couldn't help but suddenly understand, and then they understood why the king of Shang did not let the national teacher leave the court song early to defend against the enemy.
Xia Chang looked at the Shang King and Tianchenzi on the high platform of the main hall with a confident face, and said in his heart that the Shang King and the national teacher had already thought about how to deal with Zhou Tianci and the Song army, and the worries of himself and the civil and military officials, as well as the strategies offered to the Shang King, were all superfluous.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
After thinking about everything, under the leadership of Xia Chang, the civil and military officials above the main hall shouted in unison to the king of Shang.
The king of Shang hugged the beauty in his arms, leaned back on the dragon chair, and laughed with great satisfaction.
Five hundred miles away from the southeast direction of Chaoge City, there is a very famous big city and fortified city in the territory of the Shang Kingdom, Yinyi.
After Zhou Tianci led more than 100,000 troops of the Northern Expedition into the Shang Kingdom, it took only six days to kill outside the city of Yinyi.
On this day, Zhou Tianci led the army to the outside of this big city located in the hinterland of the Shang Kingdom, and once again opened the siege formation.
In the city of Yinyi, the defenders of the Shang State have more than 60,000 people, and the artillery is more than 300 guns.
In the face of this Shang defender army with a large number of soldiers and horses and equipped with a large number of firearms, Zhou Tianci and Chai Shirong did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and took out the posture of shelling the border city at the beginning, giving priority to pushing forward the most advanced artillery among the generals, preparing for nearly saturated artillery as the first wave of attack force!
However, just when the Song army was in formation and was about to bombard Yinyi fiercely, Zhou Tianci, who was standing above the artillery position, changed his face and ordered to suspend the firing first.
Zhou Tianci suddenly changed his order, Chai Shirong and Zhao Kuangyun couldn't help but look slightly different, but Zhou Tianci didn't explain anything, he just stood above the position, staring at the sky above Yinyi City with an awe-inspiring expression!
In the sky above Yinyi City, I don't know when, a purple light appeared.
The purple light came from the northwest direction, like a long rainbow, across the blue clear sky, and came to the top of Yinyi City.
The purple light above Yinyi City did not stop until it reached the sky above the South City Gate Tower where the Song army was going to attack.
The purple light stopped, and a tall figure appeared in the air above the South City Gate Tower. That's the figure of the national teacher of the Shang Kingdom, Tianchenzi!
Zhou Tianci looked at Tianchenzi who appeared above the city gate tower with a solemn face, and said calmly: "Tianchenzi, you are finally here!" ”
Hearing Zhou Tianci's words, Chai Shirong, Yang Si and the others on the ground behind him couldn't help but change their faces, and they all turned their eyes to the tall figure above Yinyi City.
Tianchenzi, the national teacher of the Shang Kingdom, although they have not seen it, they have heard of its name for a long time, and they know that it is a top master on the same level as Wang Hongzhen and Xingzi.
This time, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Great Song Dynasty entered the Shang Kingdom, if there is really anything particularly fearful, it is Tianchenzi.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the Northern Expedition army had not yet reached Chaoge, and this Tianchenzi actually appeared!
In mid-air, Tianchenzi, who was dressed in a black robe, held the dust in his hand, and his eyes swept over Zhou Tianci and the Song army in front of him with great calmness, and then landed on Zhou Tianci's body, and said lightly: "What, do you know that this seat is coming?" ”
Zhou Tianci said calmly: "I guess you will definitely come, but I didn't expect it to be today." I thought you would come earlier. ”
Tianchenzi smiled indifferently and said, "It seems that I disappointed you." But it doesn't matter, no matter when this seat comes, there is only one thing to do, and that is to take your head
Skull. ”
Zhou Tianci smiled coldly when he heard this, and then stared at Tianchenzi with a slight cold gaze and said, "I'm afraid this will disappoint you, my head is quite good, but it's not so easy to take." I know that you are as famous as Wang Hongsleeve, but what I want to tell you is that even Wang Hongsleeve is already a dead soul under my sword! ”
"Wang Hongzhen?"
Tianchenzi looked up to the sky and laughed, and said with a disdainful face: "What is Wang Hong's sleeve, it is also worthy of being compared with this seat!" It seems that this seat has not been able to sing songs for many years, and it has made the world forget me a little, and it is ridiculous to compare me with Xingzi and Wang Hongzhen! ”
Seeing that Tianchenzi was so rampant, and he was very disdainful of Wang Hongzhen and his master between his words, Zhou Tianci's face couldn't help but sink, and he said coldly: "Old Taoist, I think you have been tying yourself up all these years, sitting in the well and watching the sky, and you don't know the rapid changes in the outside world!" In my opinion, comparing you with my master is already exalting you!
Today, let me, a disciple of my own lineage, take action for my master, and get to know you for a while! ”
"You?"
Tianchenzi smiled faintly, and then said noncommittally: "It's okay, after so many years of penance, it is very lonely, so I will move my muscles and bones to see how much of the person who can defeat Wang Hongzhen has the true nature."
Affair! ”
After saying that, Tianchenzi slowly raised his right hand, made a very ordinary starting gesture, and looked at Zhou Tianci with a calm face. The meaning seems to be to let Zhou Tianci come over!
Zhou Tianci stared at Tianchenzi with a cold face, his body shook, and the true yuan in his body instantly rose up, and the powerful saint aura filled the heavens and the earth.
At the same time, the unsheathed Liuyun Sword in his left hand burst out, and a series of cold and sharp sword immortal sword intent suddenly appeared around him, condensed in the void!
All the breath in Zhou Tianci's body was released, and the sword intent around his body was great, but in the air opposite him, Tianchenzi was still standing in place extremely calmly, without any movement.
Zhou Tianci's eyes were cold, his right arm moved, and he held the hilt of the long sword in his left hand!
Then, draw your sword!
With this sword roar, a vast and incomparably sharp white sword qi roared up from in front of Zhou Tianci, pointing obliquely at Tianchenzi, and instantly reached the sky!
It was as if a sword of heavenly punishment that had cut through the void had suddenly torn apart this heaven and earth!
Immediately after, between heaven and earth, a sharp and crisp sword roar sounded again!
Then, in mid-air, in front of Zhou Tianci's body, the second huge sword qi that tore through the heavens and the earth burst out at an extremely fast speed, and then, the third and fourth ......!
The huge white sword qi that was cold and extremely sharp roared up from in front of Zhou Tianci one after another, intertwining between heaven and earth, as if this heaven and earth had been split into several pieces in an instant!
The huge white sword qi that roared in front of Zhou Tianci appeared in a total of eight ways, and the eight sword qi were intertwined between heaven and earth, as if they were the eight doomsday rifts that tore apart this heaven and earth, looking extremely spectacular and terrifying!
