Outside the pickaxe capital, the wind howled.

The dust blown by the wind was everywhere, and the sand and gravel were tumbling freely.

Jiang Ling came with the determination to kill Ji Gongyan, and led his troops to surround the capital of Hao.

The rebels' invasion of the hinterland is undoubtedly a great shame for Ji Gongyan. Since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty for nearly three hundred years, only Zhou Tianzi led the princes to conquer the barbarians, and no Rong tribe could fight outside the capital of the pickaxe.

Ji Chengshi, as the military division of the "rebel army", led the army to flank the pickaxe capital city from the north and south. Although it is a flanking attack, the Zhou royal family has a total of ten armies, each with a strength of 10,000 troops, and now the six western armies are dispatched, and there are still 40,000 elite soldiers left in Haojing, and Yu Shifu and Li Hongxi each lead 15,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 70,000 troops.

The combined army under the command of Ji Chengshi was only nearly 30,000 men, less than half of the Zhou army.

From the point of view of strength, the Western Zhou army had an advantage, so Ji Gongyan ordered the whole army to attack and annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop.

The left army of the Zhou family to meet the enemy was composed of the elite of the royal family led by Li Hongxi, and the right army was composed of the army of the state of Yu led by Yu Shifu. No matter which way the army is strong, confronting such a large army head-on is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

However, Ji Chengshi chose to face the attack head-on.

The result was no surprise, and the first battle was defeated.

With the sound of horses' hooves, a herald covered in blood quickly returned from the front of the battle: "Qi Qi Alliance Leader, five thousand dog Rong vanguard army, the whole army is annihilated!"

Jiang Ling asked anxiously: "What formation did Li Hongxi use to win?"

"The car formation. The herald spat out two words with palpitations.

Hua Ruwolf's face was solemn, and he groaned: "...... The car array is really powerful. ”

Ji Chengshi felt bored, and he couldn't imagine that decades later, the main force of the Zhou army would still be dominated by chariots, and he would still use the chariot formation created by Xi Bojifu when he broke the dog Rong.

As the name suggests, the shape of the chariot resembles a dragon head. The so-called "dragon whisker" is a spear fixed to the front of the car to pierce the spear. A dragon chariot full of sharp blades is not only extremely powerful, but also extremely fast, even if the Rong soldiers are brave and good at fighting, it will not help.

Jiang Ling glared at Ji Chengshi complainingly, and said anxiously: "Will you lead soldiers in the end!"

Ji Chengshi deliberately sold a flaw, but in fact, his inner thoughts were very simple, he just wanted to test his skills.

This battle is like a game of chess without suspense for Ji Chengshi, who has browsed the map of Jiangshan Society. He is well aware of the weakness of Zhou's defense, and he can win in many different ways, but he doesn't use the simplest and most direct method, because he wants revenge.

At this time, his main enemy was not the Zhou royal family, but the Rong soldiers under his command.

Ji Chengshi's father, Jin Muhou, once received an order from King Xuan of Zhou to lead an army to follow the king to defeat the Rong tribe, but returned with a heavy defeat. Jin Muhou was ashamed of this battle, and when his wife Jiang gave birth to his first son, Jin Muhou named his son "Qiu" and made him the prince, in order to show that he would not forget the shame of the Rong clan.

At this moment, the soldiers under the command of Ji Chengshi are the enemies of the Jin State. As the son of Jin Muhou and the younger brother of Ji Qiu, how could Ji Chengshi be willing to let go of any opportunity to wipe out the soldiers?

Therefore, no matter whether it is necessary or unnecessary sacrifice, Ji Chengshi will not hesitate to let those Rong soldiers go to their deaths.

Jiang Ling didn't know Ji Chengshi's little abacus, but he felt anxious, looking forward to Su Ji coming back from Lishan as soon as possible. If the coalition forces continue to suffer defeats like this, she is afraid that she will be so anxious that she will go into battle in person, and she can't wait for the Red Lotus Umbrella to come out and the thousands of troops will be wiped out.

Just when Jiang Ling was anxious, Ji Chengshi felt that the time was ripe and said: "The biggest weakness of the car formation is that the chariot is heavy and difficult to turn around, and once the impact fails, it will return to the starting point. If you want to break the chariot formation, you must take advantage of this fatal weakness, quickly penetrate from the flanks to the flanks of the chariots, and take advantage of the difficulty of the enemy's chariots to take advantage of the speed of the cavalry to break up their formation. ”

Jiang Ling ordered the generals to act according to the plan. Coalition soldiers poured out from the sides of her horses in a tidal wave, galloping forward with a terrifying war cry.

The two armies clashed for less than an hour, Jiang Ling rode on the horse and looked into the distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was a smile of victory.

On the horizon in the distance, the banner of the Zhou army, which had been standing proudly, was messy, and they all fell to one side, and countless dragon chariots were torn apart from the side, and the chariot formation became chaotic.

Ji Chengshi saw all this in his eyes, and the setting sun shone on the bronze mask on his face, revealing his arrogance.

Immediately before the battle, there was good news: "Qi Yu Alliance Leader, the car formation has been broken, and the enemy's right flank has been defeated!"

Hearing the good news, Ji Chengshi's face was expressionless, and he had already expected such a result. Because the right wing is the army led by Yu Shi's father, Jin Marquis Ji Qiu has already colluded with Yu Shi's father, once the Zhou family is destroyed, he will support Ji Gongyan's younger brother, and it is rumored that Ji Wang, who committed the "Dongfang Taiyi", will become the next Zhou Tianzi.

"Chase after victory!"

Jiang Ling gave an order, and the coalition team rushed into the distance, and the shouts of killing had already overshadowed the roaring wind.

Li Hongxi saw that the car formation was broken, so he had to go out himself.

Jiang Ling came out with a red lotus umbrella in his hand and asked, "General Li, it is more meaningful for blood to be shed for a loving and righteous monarch, isn't it?"

"Loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve both. ”

Li Hongxi's tone was resolute, and he finally decided to stick to the last moment.

Jiang Ling faced this subordinate who had been loyal to him for many years, and he went all out with every move without any hesitation. However, Li Hongxi's fist was still merciful to the once loyal Empress Shen, intentionally or unintentionally.

The two were evenly matched at first, but after twenty rounds of fighting, Jiang Ling gradually gained the upper hand, and a flame burned the left half of Li Hongxi's body.

Li Hongxi covered his charred flesh in pain, looked around the messy battlefield, and saw that the Zhou army was gone, and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. With a clarion call to collect troops, the retreating Zhou soldiers threw away their armor, while the coalition soldiers had smiles on their faces and carried all kinds of trophies in their hands.

However, only a small number of Zhou soldiers fled back to the capital gate, and most of the Zhou soldiers were abandoned on the battlefield and left to be slaughtered.

Ji Chengshi felt bored of winning, and was about to rein in the horse when he suddenly fixed his eyes on the left side of the battlefield.

The abandoned soldiers there wailed in pain, and between the bloody swords and swords, the figure of a woman in a green shirt quietly walked by. The fluttering figure was incompatible with the dust, dirt, and blood splatters of the battlefield.

At first, Ji Chengshi thought it was his illusion, but when he rubbed his eyes, he found that the back of the green-shirted woman was still standing there, like an ethereal undead.

Ji Chengshi felt creepy, and looked sideways at Jiang Ling next to him, seeing that she was immersed in the joy of victory like everyone else, obviously not seeing the ghostly figure at all.

The woman in the green shirt turned around slowly, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and smiled back at Ji Chengshi.

Ji Chengshi couldn't help but gasp, realizing that the woman was not an ordinary mortal, but why did she only appear in her own eyes, was this a provocation, a warning, or a mockery?

The sun hasn't set yet.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Chengshi looked at it, and he couldn't see the figure of the green-shirted woman, only a thin white silk, which disappeared with the wind.
