When Wen Zhong couldn't think of any response plan, he had no choice but to believe in Shen Gongbao's confidence in the "turnaround". began to command the army in Bishui Pass to retreat in batches. And in the several checkpoints behind the Bishui Pass, it is also heavily fortified to achieve the purpose of ladder blocking.

In fact, I know that I can't stop it, but I have to do it as a last resort to delay time. What else can I do now but fill in with my life?

The only good news is that most of the 200,000 troops under Wen Zhong's command are die-hard soldiers on the Chaoge side, and the interception army that he Wen Zhong pulled up can also play a good role in suppression, so that there will be no large-scale surrender to the enemy in such a attritional resistance.

As for the monks, none of the middle and low-level monks are allowed to leave, they all draw lots, and they will be stationed at which level they get, and they will rest if they die in battle, all by personal luck.

And Wen Zhong's approach made Jiang Ziya a little confused. The Zhou Dynasty also sent a lot of spies in the army, and reported it to Jiang Ziya after learning these news. And when Jiang Ziya was so angry, he had to consider a question: after the other party's monks were slaughtered, would the monks of the two sects directly attack the ordinary soldiers?

Jiang Ziya's consideration of this issue is very realistic, and it is related to the fig leaf used by the monks of the two religions to cover up the "next work". After all, the banner is "Kuang Fu Justice", once the monks in the enemy army on the opposite side are killed, then it is not appropriate to continue to wantonly slaughter ordinary soldiers, right?

Jiang Ziya asked Lu Jian directly, but Lu Quan's answer was that he only had to deal with high-level monks, and middle- and low-level and ordinary soldiers were not worthy of letting him take action. Jiang Ziya was speechless by these words, he originally thought that Lu Jian was not a person in the Three Sects, and he should not care about slaughtering mortals, but he didn't think that people were not stupid, and this kind of thing was not at all.

And the monks who expounded the two religions also felt a little unsafe, and they discussed and discussed, and in the end, the four words "act when the opportunity arises" could not be resolved.

So three days later, the Zhou Dynasty began to attack Bishui Pass. First, it was a half-hour-long earth-shaking method, using monk spells to shatter the defenses of the tall fortress in Bishui Pass. But because there was no Lu Press's participation, and the monks who intercepted the sect had already prepared, the effect was not good.

The Shang soldiers attacked hard, and in less than two hours, the Zhou Dynasty threw down a full 6,000 corpses, and no ordinary soldiers even climbed the wall.

In the end, it was up to the strength of the monks to take advantage first.

However, in the face of the disciples who were determined to die, the monks of the two sects obviously lost in momentum. The casualty ratio is unexpectedly high. This annoys Jiang Ziya, he can't, he can only ask Lu Jian again, after all, the twelve golden immortals who are descendants have returned to Kunlun Mountain with serious injuries, and now only Lu Jian can be called a high combat power and decisive force.

Lu pressed to make a move, and Bishui Pass didn't have much advantage to keep. The fortress was shattered, and the monks were suppressed and then killed by the monks of the two religions. And the monks of the two sects, who had killed the anger, had already begun to attack the ordinary soldiers with impunity. Only then did he lead the army of the Zhou Dynasty to break through the Bishui Pass.

After the war, Jiang Ziya counted the battle damage, and his scalp was a little numb. More than 8,000 soldiers were killed in the Zhou Dynasty, more than 10,000 were wounded, and six monks were killed and more than 10 wounded. The 30,000 Chaoge defenders of Bishui Pass collectively broke jade, and none of them surrendered and stole their lives. This tragedy made the army of the Zhou Dynasty who had won the battle unhappy.

You must know that the 250,000 people pulled over by the Zhou Dynasty now are all the fighting forces of the Zhou Dynasty at this stage, which can be regarded as a desperate bet. It is expected that after gaining a huge advantage at the monk level, he will quickly crush the will to resist of the Chaoge army, and even absorb the elite soldiers of Chaoge, so as to achieve the goal of advancing quickly and retaining his own forces from large-scale attrition.

Now it seems that even if he loses the advantage at the monk level, it is also because of low morale, but Chaoge's soldiers can still fight to the death without surrendering, which is not a small blow to the Zhou Dynasty army.

Think about it, there are four Xiongguan behind Bishui Pass, which are no worse than Bishui Pass, how many soldiers will be lost when they fight all the way through like this? How much will they lose when they enter Chaoge?

At that time, even if the Zhou Dynasty wins, it will be a miserable victory, so what will the princes in various places think? Will they begin to divide their territories and no longer worship Xiqi as the lord and recognize the ruling position of the Zhou Dynasty like a pilgrimage and song? This is not only a huge hidden danger for the Zhou Dynasty, but also an unacceptable result for those who want to take over the land of the two religions.

The offensive of persuasion must also be more direct, otherwise the Zhou Dynasty will not be able to afford this kind of loss if it really continues like this, even if it wins in the end.

Therefore, the strategy adopted by Jiang Ziya with the army of the Zhou Dynasty has changed from a strong attack to a siege without fighting, that is, to wear down your will, and you want to achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight through deterrence at the monk level. But as everyone knows, this slow strategy is actually in the hands of Wen Zhong, I wish you were so helpful to delay time.

And where is the "turning point" that was said by Shen Gongbao and placed the last hope on by Wen Zhong?

Thousands of miles away from Shangyang Mountain, the main battlefield of the Shang Dynasty's civil war, Kong Xuan had already returned to his dojo for half a month. Half a month of meditation and practice has allowed him to barely stabilize the old accounts of time that swept away after his cultivation was abolished, and at the same time, he has also discovered many benefits of demon cultivation.

The Demon Yuan is so rich that it can absorb more energy than the first-class Blessed Land Cave Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi with a light suck. Moreover, the Demon Yuan of the same volume is more qualitative and energetic than the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

And what made Kong Xuan most happy and satisfied was the shining "lighthouses" in the long and unenlightened system, these "lighthouses" illuminated the superficial and the mysterious, without any threshold and restrictions, as long as he leaned on it, he could easily get all the cognition and experience about demon cultivation illuminated by this "lighthouse". This kind of cultivation path that is almost perfected at the same time by gathering all the demonic cultivation forces is unimaginable in terms of the benefits it brings to those who come after it.

As far as Kong Xuan himself is concerned, the speed at which he is now recovering is a little unbelievable even to himself. He even felt that if he recovered at the current rate, it would only take ten years for him to return to the strength of a quasi-saint.

My heart is hot. What is this in just ten years? A single sleep may be more than that. What's more, he found that those lighthouses were far more than the so-called quasi-saint realm, and there was no follow-up, and several lighthouses farther away seemed to be beckoning to him.

By the way, there is no holy saying in the demon cultivation, and there is no saint's harmony. The so-called quasi-saint is Luo Tian Daxian, and the saint is the mighty, and there is a lighthouse above the mighty!

In half a month, Kong Xuan came out of his cultivation, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that a black-robed man had entered his cave mansion without knowing when, and those prohibitions of defense and warning did not respond at all, and were directly ignored by the other party.

If it had been before, Kong Xuan would have been on full alert, but now he got up, knelt down on one knee towards the black-robed man, and said reverently: "Kong Xuan, see Yan Jun!"
