Chapter 135: Arriving at the Wandering Soul Pass
Jiang Wenhuan attacked the Wandering Soul Pass for more than ten years without overcoming, he hated the guard in his heart, after breaking the pass, he first killed all the guards and a family of eighteen people, and then set fire to the city at the instigation of King Pingling.
When Deng Jiugong arrived at the Wandering Soul Pass, this Xiongguan that had resisted foreign enemies for decades was in ruins, there was not a single living mouth in the city, not even a single animal, only thousands of bones were abandoned in the pile of rubble outside the city, piled up to a height of three zhang. And in the river outside the city, for some reason, the two ends were blocked, and a large area of blood and water was hoarded, emitting a disgusting fishy smell.
Seeing this scene, Deng Jiugong sighed, the war was cruel, and the big merchants did not have the strength to protect these people, so they died in the war.
"It's cruel, these people are beasts. ”
Chen Qi had heard of the slaughter of the city, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, and the tragic image in front of him made him frightened and angry!
Zhang Kui said: "We marched all the way, and we didn't see a single pedestrian, and the people within a radius of dozens of miles ran away, and it seems that they were scared away by Jiang Wenhuan's murderous behavior." "Although the Son of Heaven and Jiang Wenhuan have a grudge against their father, but to use such bloody means against a group of unarmed people, this person is simply inhuman.
Rao is Zhang Kui, who has a calm personality, and was shocked by everything he saw.
"Ordered the whole army to camp on this. ”
Deng Jiugong looked around, and there was nothing in the city except for the ruins and broken walls, and even the well water was polluted, which was obviously not suitable for camping. The city was close to the river and had easy access to water, which made it suitable for the camp to be set up there.
After Jiang Wensoul took the Wandering Soul Pass, his idea was not to defend the Xiongguan Pass and slowly march towards Chaoge, but to destroy the Xiongguan Pass and withdraw the soldiers and horses, which made Deng Jiugong a little puzzled. What did he do this for, was it just to take revenge on the Wandering Soul Guard.
Deng Jiugong fought in the same style as Jiang Ziya, first figuring out the enemy's battle intentions, and then arranging the battle plan, but Jiang Wenhuan's behavior made his second monk scratch his head.
It took an hour or two to set up the camp, which stretched for miles and looked very spectacular.
Chen Qi came to the tent and saw Deng Jiugong fiddling with the sand table there, so he said to himself: "Marshal, can you let the last general lead an elite army and go to Dongzhen to inquire about the military situation." "Dongzhen is not more than a hundred miles away from the Wandering Soul Pass, and it only takes half a day to go back and forth.
Deng Jiugong said with a smile: "Don't worry, we came from afar, let the soldiers have a good rest." As for the matter of inquiring about the army, if the commander is right, the enemy scouts are already lurking in the nearby hills, probing the truth of our army!"
"Then let the last general catch a few and torture them. ”
Deng Jiugong shook his head and said: "If you do this, you will only startle the snake, but you will miss a big thing." We don't have to do anything now, just calm and move, waiting for Jiang Wenhuan to take the initiative to fight. ”
No matter what Jiang Wenhuan's intentions are, as long as he dares to come, he promises to let him come and go.
Chen Qi nodded, the coach has always liked to plan before acting, and this time I am afraid it will be no exception.
......
Donglu, the poor and backward land outside the border of different northern Xinjiang, the wind and sand invade people, because of the frequent proximity to the sea, rich resources, through the efforts of several generations, it is famous all over the world for being rich and armory. Because the products here are abundant, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the princes have no intention of competing for territory, so they get along very well.
However, all this was broken by the death of Jiang Hengchu, the former Eastern Bohou, Jiang Wenhuan avenged his father and coerced other princes to raise troops together, totaling 400,000, and took the lead in raising the banner of rebellion and attacking the head of the wandering spirit.
This is just this person has the courage and no strategy, and he doesn't know anything about attacking the city and pulling out the village, although he has a large number of soldiers, but he can't give full play to his own advantages, and he has lost countless soldiers, and he has never been able to take the soul pass and open the first key to the eastward dynasty.
However, just last month, the appearance of King Pingling made Jiang Wenhuan seem to see hope, and the two talked at night, and within a few days, Xiongguan, which could not be shaken, was won so easily, and the whole process only lost less than 3,000 people.
After taking the Wandering Soul Pass, Jiang Wenhuan saw the power of King Pingling, and readily agreed to form an alliance with him, and asked for advice on everything, and did a lot of low-profile work.
In Laizhou City, Jiang Wenhuan was shocked when he learned that the King of Xuan had sent Deng Jiugong to crusade, and hurriedly sent someone to invite King Pingling to come to the palace to discuss matters.
About an hour later, King Pingling came to see him in a hurry, and he was accompanied by two strange-looking followers, one of whom had green scales on his face and a pair of dragon eyes, and a strange light in his eyes. The other man was three feet tall, like a giant, and the pestle was like a door god.
"Dong Bohou, why are you so alarmed. ”
Seeing that King Pingling was coming, Jiang Wenhuan instantly found the backbone of the main body, and hurriedly told Deng Jiugong about coming to crusade. The previous King of Pingling didn't let Jiang Wenhuan value it so much, after all, this person gathered hundreds of thousands of horses, and under the onslaught of the imperial army, he only lasted a few months and collapsed, which shows that this person's ability is average, and he is inferior to himself.
When King Pingling heard this, he wrote lightly: "There is only one Deng Jiugong, and it is enough to send troops to level it." ”
After receiving the remnants of the North Sea, King Pingling's self-confidence swelled, and he thought that the strength in his hands was not a big problem even if he took down Chengtang. It's just that Jiang Wenhuan is stunned, let him go and fight with the imperial army, it is best to fight for both sides, and he will benefit from the fisherman.
Jiang Wenhuan sighed: "The barbarian king doesn't know, this Deng Jiugong is not an ordinary person, this person has Taoism, and there are a few strange people in his hands, which is not easy to deal with." ”
King Pingling frowned, what he hated most was the cultivators, back then, because he had no capable people under his subordinates, he suffered a big loss under Wen Zhong, and finally was defeated. This Deng Jiugong came with a group of people who knew magic, but he was afraid that the people who came would not be good.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the Jiaolong King on the left and asked, "Do you have the means to deal with this Deng Jiugong?" ”
The Dragon King grinned and said, "Don't worry, no matter what Deng Jiugong's origin is, I will lead people to rush him for a while, and there will be a way to deal with him." ”
He is a thousand-year-old dragon into a spirit, once entrenched in the North Sea, dominating one side, and then joined the demon king, and the court fought for more than ten years, regardless of victory or defeat, if it was not for the last Wen Zhong to find a group of powerful helpers, the demon king would not be defeated and died, the forces under his command were divided, some of them fled to the west, some of them lived in seclusion on overseas islands, and some of them came to the East China Sea and took refuge in King Pingling.
Compared with those princes, the Jiaolong King prefers a barbarian king like King Pingling, who is barbaric and easy to kill, which is very in line with the temper of the demon clan. The demon clan is easy to fight, living in the bloody wind and rain, even if he dies in the next moment, as long as he dies in battle, he will die well.
King Pingling was overjoyed and said: "With two of them, they will definitely be able to deal with Deng Jiugong." ”
The supernatural powers of the two, King Pingling can be trusted, whether it is martial arts or supernatural powers, they can be easily pinched. When breaking the Wandering Soul Pass, the big man turned into a giant, split the city gate with an axe, and enlarged the army into the city, otherwise even if he and Jiang Wenhuan joined forces and tried their best, I am afraid that they would not be able to break it.
Jiang Wenhuan is determined in his heart, the strong have their own strong players, although Deng Jiugong is powerful, even Jiang Ziya is not an opponent, but can he fight the demons.
