Chapter 260 Huang Feihu scolds Ji Chang
At Sishui Pass, Jiang Ziya led the Zhou army to the city.
King Wucheng Huang Feihu led Han Rong, the general of Sishui Pass, Yu Hua, the vanguard officer and others to open the city to fight.
Jiang Ziya stood on the chariot, his silver beard fluttering in the wind and a hint of depth flashing in his eyes.
However, when his eyes fell on the leader of the Shang army, he couldn't help but frown slightly and think secretly in his heart.
He didn't know the origins of the person in front of him, but judging from his position, he must be an important figure in Da Shang.
After all, Han Rong, the general of Sishui Pass, was half a step behind him, which was enough to show this man's status.
Just as Jiang Ziya was about to ask, the Wucheng King Huang Feihu on the opposite side shouted angrily towards the Zhou army camp:
"The traitor Ji Chang has come out. As subjects, you dare to openly betray your country and claim to be king. This is extremely abominable!"
"You have no regard for the country's kindness and have provoked war for no reason. You are truly ashamed of the people of the world!"
"I will give you a chance. If you surrender now, I will make it clear to the king and spare your life!"
"If you don't surrender, don't blame me for sending my army to destroy your Xiqi land!"
Huang Feihu was wearing silver armor that shone with a cold light in the sun. His face was stern, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and his every move revealed a majesty that should not be underestimated.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers in the Zhou army camp looked at each other. Although they whispered to each other, they still stood on high alert, waiting for orders.
When Ji Chang heard Huang Feihu's rebuke, he was afraid that it would disrupt the morale of the army, so he stopped sitting there and waiting to die and walked to the front of the battle.
He looked at the familiar figure, understood what was going on, looked at Huang Feihu opposite him, and said slowly:
"King Wucheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are still so impatient."
Huang Feihu sneered when he saw this and said:
"Ji Chang, I don't know what my temper is, why do I need you to scold me? You betrayed the king and the Shang Dynasty, and now you dare to stand in front of me. It's really ridiculous!"
Ji Chang shook his head slightly, a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes:
"King Wucheng, everyone in the world knows what I, Ji Chang, am like. If the King of Shang had not been unjust, cruel and inhumane, I would not have raised my club to start an uprising."
"All I do is for the people of the world, so that they can live in a peaceful and prosperous environment."
Huang Feihu frowned and shouted angrily:
"Shut up! Stop spreading lies and misleading people!"
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the Shang Dynasty is prosperous. The people have no worries about food and clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment. How could it be as bad as you say?"
"Besides, traitor Ji Chang, how dare you call yourself 'Gu'?"
"You rebels are just greedy for power and are trying to overthrow our Shang Empire!"
Ji Chang sighed and continued:
"King Wucheng, do you know how many people in this world are struggling to survive under harsh rule?"
"Have you ever heard the cries of hunger and oppression?"
"Although Xiqi is small, we are committed to improving people's livelihood and allowing them to live and work in peace and contentment."
"The act of isolating a country and claiming to be king is a choice made out of helplessness!"
Huang Feihu sneered even more when he heard this:
"Ji Chang, you don't need to be so flattering here."
"Your rebellious behavior is already a heinous crime. No matter how much you say, it cannot cover up the fact that you have betrayed the Great Shang!"
"As a minister, he did not think of serving the country. He was only selfish, causing chaos in the world and displacing the people."
"Such disloyal and unrighteous people should be hated and spit on by all!"
Ji Chang smiled slightly, that smile showed both helplessness and relief:
"King Wucheng, I can ignore your previous rebellious remarks and give you a chance to surrender."
"If you surrender now, open the gate of Sishui Pass, and welcome my army into the city, I will give you a satisfactory condition. What do you think?"
Huang Feihu was furious when he heard this. He swung his spear and pointed it at Ji Chang:
"Bah! Ji Chang, you are as shameless as the walls of Sishui Pass!"
"Can you persuade me, Huang Feihu, to surrender? This is ridiculous!"
"Listen carefully, I, Huang Feihu, am a member of the Great Shang Dynasty in life and a ghost of the Great Shang Dynasty in death. I will never betray the king or the Great Shang Dynasty!"
"Do you think everyone is like you, a heartless, ungrateful and heartless person? If you don't retreat, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Ji Chang heard this, his expression remained normal, a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and he continued:
"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying this, he turned to look at Jiang Ziya standing beside him and said slowly, with a little more trust and entrustment in his tone:
"Prime Minister, the next arrangements are up to you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya bowed slightly and said respectfully:
"Don't worry, my king. With the help of my senior brother, we will definitely be able to capture Sishui Pass!"
Ji Chang thought of Samantabhadra, Manjusri, and Jade Ding of the Chan School, and he felt relieved. He nodded and agreed:
"Yes, with the help of the immortals of the Chan Sect, the road to conquering Shang will surely be smooth!"
Jiang Ziya smiled, looked at Nangong Shi beside him, and said bluntly:
"General Nangong, this time you will go first to challenge the enemy and intimidate them."
"But remember, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, so be careful and protect yourself. If you encounter a strong enemy, do not fight hard, but retreat quickly. Do you understand?"
Nangong Shi's blood boiled when he heard this. He straightened his back, looked at me with a sharp gaze, and answered loudly:
"I will obey your orders! I will not let down the king and the prime minister."
After saying that, he rode out on his horse, holding a spear, and rushed straight towards Huang Feihu.
"Huang Feihu, stop being so arrogant! I, Nangong Shi, am here to meet you!" Nangong Shi's voice resounded throughout the battlefield.
On this side, Huang Feihu heard this and prepared to take up his gun and go into battle.
At this time, Han Rong, the general of Sishui Pass, stepped forward and said:
"Don't worry, King Wucheng. Although this man is brave, you don't need to take action yourself."
"Please allow me to go and fight him. I will capture him alive and hand him over to you for your punishment!"
Huang Feihu pondered for a moment after hearing this, then nodded in agreement.
He was well aware of Han Rong's strength and also understood the importance of this battle to Sishui Pass.
Therefore, he did not insist on going into battle personally, but chose to trust and support Han Rong, the general of Sishui Pass.
With an order, Han Rong, holding a spear and riding a warhorse, rushed towards Nangong Shi like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Nangong Shi did not show any weakness when seeing this. He stood with his spear in hand and his eyes sharp, ready to meet the challenge of the general of Sishui Pass.
"Nangong Shi, today I will let you see my strength!"
Han Rong's voice was like thunder, and along with the dancing of the spear in his hand, it turned into a fierce storm and swept towards Nangong Shi.
Nangong Shi did not dare to be careless and quickly picked up his gun to fight. The two of them were instantly engaged in a fierce confrontation.
Gun shadows crossed, sparks flew, and the two figures moved quickly on the battlefield.
Although Nangong Shi's marksmanship is superb, Han Rong's strength and experience are superior.
Every time he swung the gun, it was with great force, as if he wanted to knock Nangong Shi away with the gun.
However, Han Rong did not give him this opportunity. He seemed to see through Nangong Shi's weakness and suddenly increased his offensive.
One shot after another attacked Nangong Shi like a violent storm.
Nangong Shi fought hard, but was ultimately unable to withstand this landslide-like attack.
"Qiang——!!!"
A crisp and shocking sound of metal collision cut through the noise of the battlefield.
Nangong Shi's spear was shot away by Han Rong, and he himself was also shocked by the huge force and retreated repeatedly.
He staggered a few steps on his warhorse, almost losing his balance and falling to the ground.
The Zhou army soldiers were all terrified when they saw this. They all widened their eyes and watched the scene nervously.
Nangong Shi quickly steadied himself, holding the reins tightly with both hands and stepping firmly on the stirrups. He took a deep breath and shouted:
"This general underestimated the enemy. Come again!"
He squeezed the horse's belly hard, and the warhorse seemed to sense its master's determination. It let out a long cry to the sky and rushed towards Han Rong with all its hooves running fast.
Nangong Shi had grasped the spear in his hand again without knowing when. He gripped the spear tightly, his eyes flashing, ready for the next round of confrontation.
Seeing this, Han Rong showed disdain in his eyes, snorted coldly, and shouted:
"I will have some fun with you!"
After saying that, he held the spear and met Nangong Shi's attack.
