Hundreds of thousands of anti-business troops gathered here, with barracks stretching for dozens of miles, and all kinds of flags fluttering in the wind, making hunting sounds.
Ji Fa is really high-spirited, and he always gives advice when talking.
In his opinion, Chaoge City is already close at hand, and he has conquered the world only in the past few days.
On his side, he not only has the support of the three great uncles and hundreds of minor princes, but also the recognition and support of the heavenly gods, Patriarch Hongjun and other powerful people in heaven.
With such a powerful force, who can compete with me?!
A new era is about to begin in my hands!
Although it is not clear why Tianting and Patriarch Hongjun are so afraid of that King Zhou.
But in Ji Fa's view, he was already in the face of a flying dragon, so how could he lose?
Many princes are also full of confidence and feel that they will soon reshuffle the cards and distribute the benefits.
Only the people in Heaven and Ancestor Hongjun looked solemn, because only they knew what they were about to face!
It was a monster said to be even more powerful than Ancestor Hongjun.
A few miles away, it was heard that the merchant soldiers and horses led by Master Wen were also ready to go.
At this time, Master Wen's eyes were full of perseverance, a kind of firm light toward death and no life.
He had already made up his mind that today would be his last battle.
Huang Feihu's unexpected accident filled Master Wen's heart with sadness and regret.
He didn't want to explain too much, he just wanted to use his own actions to atone for his sins.
But before that, he had to do one last thing for Dashang.
Master Wen, who was fully clothed, was sitting in his large marching tent, looking down at the map, thinking about how to fight the next decisive battle.
Suddenly, he felt something in his heart. He raised his head and saw his master, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, standing in front of him.
Wen Taishi was shocked and hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Master." "Wen Zhong."
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit looked at him calmly and said, "Can you listen to my teacher?"
I heard that Taishi's heart tightened, and he immediately knew what the master wanted to say.
He responded in a deep voice, "Except betraying Dashang, the master can do whatever the disciple asks him to do."
"Alas~~~"
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit sighed, "Did you know that God Haotian has said that all those who work for Great Shang and go to the God-Beheading Platform will be sent to the God-Beheading Platform when the calamity is over and they reach the heaven?"
"Hahahaha~~" Hearing this, Grand Master Wen immediately laughed loudly, "What do these threatening words mean? It is a disciple's lifelong wish to die for Dachang. When he died on the battlefield, Wen Zhong was already dead.
, going to the God-Slaying Platform is just one more step.”
"Furthermore," Wen Taishi's eyes revealed a look of contempt, "I can't say for sure who will be in charge of this heaven in the future."
Our Lady of the Golden Spirit sighed again, "Why is this happening?"
Master Wen looked at his master, saluted again and said, "Master, please listen to this disciple. Master should not get involved in this matter, as it will not end well."
"How can I not know the things you know."
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit sighed, "In the battle of saints, I am not qualified to participate. As for the human battlefield..."
Wen Taishi felt nervous and said hurriedly, "Master, you must not get involved. You don't know how scary the king is. Even if a cultivator intervenes to help Xiqi win, so what? As long as the king takes out his hand.
, no one involved can escape."
"Master is not stupid, so he naturally knows it." A smile appeared on the face of the Holy Mother Jin Ling. "Master has already said that all disciples will return to the cave to practice and will never be allowed to appear in the human world."
Grand Master Wen was slightly startled, "Headmaster, this is..."
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit shook her head and said, "The leader has passed the position of leader to the senior brother. He has already prepared for the worst."
Having said that, Holy Mother Jin Ling looked at Grand Master Wen and said, "I came here this time to ask you if you are willing to follow me back to the cave to practice and never set foot in the human world again?"
Master Wen fell into silence.
After a long time, Master Wen lowered his head and bowed to the Golden Spirit Mother. "Master, I have no way to repay you for your kindness. However, I have decided to give everything for Dachang. I ask master to fulfill my wish."
"Alas~~~"
The only response to Master Wen was this sigh.
After a long time, Master Wen raised his head and saw that the figure of the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit was no longer in the marching tent.
He stood up slowly and looked toward the door, his Adam's apple twitching slightly. "Master, let's go."
Ji Fa sent an envoy to the Dashang military camp and issued a letter of engagement.
Master Wen agreed without any surprise, and the two sides agreed to fight in Makino three days later.
In terms of military strength, Xiqi's side has an absolute advantage. Several great uncles and numerous small princes have brought hundreds of thousands of troops. Together with Xiqi's own troops, they have an overwhelming advantage over Dashang.
.
Although it is at a disadvantage in terms of quantity, in terms of quality, Dashang has a very obvious advantage.
The first is that almost all soldiers are equipped with iron armor and weapons, and have extremely sufficient logistical support.
Of course, although these are very important, military morale is even more important in comparison.
The status of professional soldiers at Dashang is very high, and their treatment is very generous.
Cooperating in the battle were the auxiliary legions composed of freed slaves.
The name of the Auxiliary Legion may not seem like much, but these freed slaves have already lived a good life that can be called human beings.
They will never allow themselves or their families to become slaves again.
For this, they are willing to pay any price, and they will not hesitate to fight for it!
Although Xiqi has a large number of people, most of its troops are slaves, and their fighting belief is inversely proportional to their number.
The slaves had long known about the king's order to free the slaves, and the reason why they had not escaped yet was simply because they were coerced by the weapons of the guards.
Ji Fa naturally knew that the slaves had little fighting spirit, so he directly announced that as long as he could obtain the head of a soldier from Dashang during the war, he could be released as a slave.
This news slightly boosted the fighting faith of many slaves.
However, the princes were dissatisfied.
"Xibohou, you are making things very difficult for us by doing this." Beibohou Chonghouhu was the first to speak, "The merchant army on the opposite side is almost all soldiers. If we really win, wouldn't we have to let go of too many soldiers?"
slave?"
Dong Bohou and Nan Bohou on the side also nodded in agreement.
Although they looked down on slaves and regarded them as useless, they also knew that slaves were the most important resource and could not be given up no matter what.
With slaves, there are people to work, people to farm, people to do all kinds of industries, people to create wealth for them, and to serve them.
Freeing even one slave would be an unbearable loss for them.
"I have my own arrangements for this matter." Ji Fa's smile was very friendly. "This reward must be given, otherwise the battle situation may be unfavorable."
He actually knew very well that an army composed mainly of slaves with almost no equipment would be difficult to defeat a fully armed professional army.
Therefore, it is necessary to improve the slaves' fighting faith.
Several uncles were looking at him, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation and compensation.
Ji Fa's smile became even brighter, "Just wait until the war is over and everyone returns home, and then we can find a way to make them slaves again."
"Just find any excuse. Farm the land, cut down the forest, hunt and fish..."
During the era of slavery, everything on the fiefdom belonged to the slave owner.
Unauthorized cultivation of the slave owner's land, unauthorized cutting of timber, unauthorized hunting and fishing in mountains, forests and lakes, etc., are all violations of the slave owner's rights.
"This is too slow." Nanbohou E Chongyu shouted dissatisfied, "Looking at each one, when will it be finished?"
"Do you find it troublesome? It doesn't matter." Ji Fa's smile was a little indifferent. "Gather them all together to arrange and distribute the fields. When the autumn harvest comes, just declare that these fields do not belong to them and demote them all as slaves."
"If that's the case." Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu frowned and said, "Doesn't it mean that we have no credibility if others misunderstand us?"
‘Reputation? This thing has no purpose, is it possible that it can still be used as food?’
Ji Fa, who felt contempt in his heart, said again, "This is easy. You arrange for a person with some status, but who you want to get rid of, to announce the land distribution and resettlement, and then when it comes to taking action, you will say that this person made random arrangements in order to retaliate against the princes."
, just put everything on this person."
Isn't he just a scapegoat? It seems like no one knows.
Several princes felt that Ji Fa's words made sense, and this matter was finally over for the time being.
Three days later, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky.
When the appointed day arrived, both sides made meals at the third watch and set off at the fifth watch. By the time both sides had settled down in their respective positions, it was already early afternoon.
There is no way, the legions stretching for dozens of miles on both sides are so large that no one can fully command them, so each unit can fight on its own.
In the sky above the heads of the Xiqi army, large groups of auspicious clouds floated, and the figures of countless heavenly soldiers and generals kept appearing and disappearing among them.
Once the war starts and the demon from outside the territory does not show up, these heavenly soldiers and generals will come down to join the battle.
As for why he didn't take the initiative to start a fight as soon as he came up, it is naturally because God Haotian is also afraid of the cause and effect of heaven.
When you can avoid getting into trouble, you naturally don't want to take the initiative to cause trouble.
As for Patriarch Hongjun, Yuanshi Tianzun and Master Tongtian, they are hidden in the higher clouds.
They are all waiting, waiting for the arrival of the extraterritorial demon in Chaoge City.
As countless military drums were beaten, on the vast and flat land of Makino, a war that was impossible to have in this era of history and was extremely large-scale began.
