Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

Chapter 230: The First Battle at Sishui Pass

On the city wall, the wind carried a bit of solemnity. Han Rong's brows were furrowed and his face was as cold as frost. The generals beside him also had solemn expressions, with anger and unyielding spirit mixed in their eyes.

He turned slowly, his eyes swept over the lieutenants beside him one by one, his voice was low and powerful, as if every word was of great weight:

"Generals, how dare the rebel army be so arrogant in front of our Sishui Pass, openly challenging our majesty, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the deputy generals straightened their backs, with determination and unyielding spirit flashing in their eyes.

A deputy general stepped forward, his eyes were sharp, and he clasped his hands and said:

"General, these lunatics are just like grasshoppers in autumn, they can't jump for a few days. I will fight to defend the dignity of our Shang Dynasty!"

"well said!"

Another deputy general also stood up, his eyes flashing with the burning flame of war, "General, I am also willing to go out of the city to fight."

"I swear to kill the person who challenged me, and restore the prestige of the Shang Dynasty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the deputy generals on the city wall were all excited and responded one after another.

"My Lord General, I volunteer to fight. I swear to use my mighty power to make the rebels flee!"

"My Lord General, I am willing to be the vanguard, leading the troops, and defending the territory of Great Shang until my death!"

"Sir General, although I am not talented, I am willing to do my part for the army. I will go out of the city to fight and will never retreat!"

"My Lord, I am willing to fight and fight to the death. I swear to chop off the enemy's head!"

……

On the city wall, the deputy generals were in high spirits and their calls for battle were heard one after another.

Han Rong stood on the city wall, looking at these passionate generals, his heart filled with pride and emotion.

"Okay, I have seen and remembered the loyalty of all the generals to the Shang Dynasty."

"General Fang, are you willing to serve as the vanguard and go out of the city to fight against the rebels this time?"

Deputy General Fang was startled when he heard General Han Rong's call. He then knelt on one knee and bowed, saying:

"I obey your orders! I will live up to your high expectations and swear to kill the traitor Ji Yan and defend the territory of our Great Shang!"

Seeing this, Han Rong nodded with satisfaction. He stretched out his hand and gently patted General Fang on the shoulder to show encouragement and trust.

"Okay, General Fang, I will be waiting for your triumphant return! Go and prepare quickly, and go out of the city to fight. Remember, you must be careful and cautious, and do not underestimate the enemy."

"I will obey your orders!"

Deputy General Fang stood up, turned around and walked away with big strides. His back looked particularly firm and resolute in the sunlight.

With the departure of General Fang, the atmosphere on the city wall became more tense and solemn.

On this side, Ji Yan was wearing armor, holding a spear, riding a warhorse, standing in front of the formation, looking particularly dazzling.

He saw that the gate of Sishui Pass was still closed, like a silent fortress, and a nameless anger surged in his heart.

"You bastard, get out of the city and die!"

Ji Yan's voice resounded through the sky like thunder. He waved his spear and pointed it directly at the tower. His eyes revealed endless anger and disdain. "You bunch of cowards, are you only going to hide behind the city wall and survive?"

"Come out if you have the guts, and compete with me, Ji Yan!"

Just as these words fell, the gate of Sishui Pass suddenly burst open.

Amid the flying dust, a brown warhorse rushed out like an arrow. The sound of its hooves made the earth tremble.

When the smoke and dust cleared, one could see a man sitting upright on a horse, wearing bright armor and looking very heroic. It was none other than Deputy General Fang.

The appearance of Deputy General Fang was like the blazing sun in the sky, instantly illuminating the entire battlefield.

His eyes were wide open as he stared at Ji Yan, with rage flashing in them, as if he wanted to extinguish Ji Yan's arrogance in one fell swoop.

"How dare you, a traitor, speak so arrogantly here!"

Deputy General Fang's voice was like a huge bell, resounding through the sky, and every word contained endless power and majesty.

He swung the spear in his hand violently, and the tip of the spear drew a brilliant arc in the air, pointing directly at Ji Yan.

"Today, I will definitely capture you and eliminate this scourge of yours for our Great Shang!"

Deputy General Fang's words were full of firmness and determination. There was no fear or retreat in his eyes, only the desire for victory and loyalty to Da Shang.

Seeing this, Ji Yan curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer. He was not at all flustered by the appearance of Deputy General Fang.

"Humph, a mere deputy general dares to act so arrogant in front of this general? Do you think you can take down this general with your own strength? You are dreaming!"

Ji Yan's words were full of disdain and contempt. The spear in his hand trembled slightly, as if he was ready to meet the challenge of Deputy General Fang at any time.

However, Deputy General Fang ignored Ji Yan's provocation. He just smiled coldly, then squeezed the horse's belly hard. The warhorse immediately rushed out like a wild horse and headed straight for Ji Yan.

His speed was so fast, like lightning, that people could hardly see his figure.

"Rebel Ji Yan, prepare to die!"

Deputy General Fang shouted loudly, and his spear was like a dragon, breaking through the air, and went straight to Ji Yan's vitals.

Seeing this, Ji Yan was not willing to be outdone. He swung his spear violently, and it collided with Deputy General Fang's spear in the air.

"clang--!!!"

There was a loud bang and sparks flew, causing both of them to tremble slightly.

At the same time, the sound of war drums and shouts were heard from the two army camps.

The confrontation between Deputy General Fang and Ji Yan became increasingly fierce, and the two figures intertwined on the battlefield into a thrilling picture.

His spear was like a dragon emerging from the sea, and every strike contained a tremendous force, hitting Ji Yan's vital points directly.

Ji Yan, with his agile body and excellent martial arts, resolved Deputy General Fang's attacks one by one, while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

"Humph, how dare a firefly compete with the bright moon!"

Ji Yan sneered, and suddenly jumped up, like a ghost, and went around Deputy General Fang's flank. His spear was as fast as lightning, piercing Deputy General Fang's ribs.

Deputy General Fang reacted quickly, moving his body to the side and narrowly avoiding the attack. At the same time, he fired a shot back at Ji Yan's neck.

"Traitor, give me your life!" Deputy General Fang roared, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

His shot was so powerful and powerful that it made a sound like breaking wind, and it went straight to Ji Yan's face.

Seeing this, Ji Yan had to give up his offensive and retreat quickly, while swinging the spear in his hand, which collided with Deputy General Fang's spear again.

"clang--!!!"

There was another loud bang, and the two men's spears clashed fiercely in the air, sparks flew, and the surrounding air trembled.

In this collision, both sides felt the other's powerful strength and indomitable will, and there was a bit more solemnity and seriousness in each other's eyes.

"Humph, this general really underestimated you!"

Ji Yan panted and said, with a flash of disdain in his eyes, "But do you think you can defeat this general with just this ability? What a joke! It's still too early!"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Yan suddenly jumped up like an awakened beast. His spear drew silver tracks in the air and pounced towards Deputy General Fang like a storm.

Each blow was accompanied by a whistling sound of wind, hitting Deputy General Fang's vital points directly, and the air seemed to be torn apart by this force.

Deputy General Fang remained calm in the face of Ji Yan's crazy attack, with only calmness and determination in his eyes.

"It is still unknown who will win or lose, traitor Ji Yan, stop your nonsense!"

He let out a low roar, and the spear in his hand seemed to be given life, dancing flexibly in the air, accurately blocking every attack of Ji Yan.

The battle between the two became more and more fierce, and every confrontation was accompanied by a deafening collision and flying sparks.

The soldiers of both camps watched every subtle change on the battlefield intently, fearing to miss any moment that might decide victory or defeat.

However, just as the battle reached its climax, Ji Yan suddenly revealed a strange smile.

He kicked the ground hard, and with the help of the reaction force, his body floated backwards like a ghost. At the same time, the spear in his hand turned into a stream of light and went straight to the heart of Deputy General Fang.

Ji Yan used all his strength in this attack, and he believed that this shot was enough to end the battle.

However, just when he was about to succeed, Deputy General Fang's eyes suddenly became unusually bright, as if he had seen through Ji Yan's intention. He flashed and miraculously avoided the fatal attack.

Immediately afterwards, Deputy General Fang did not give Ji Yan any chance to breathe. He took advantage of the situation and stabbed Ji Yan's throat with his spear like a dragon emerging from the sea with the force of thunder.

Ji Yan was horrified and tried his best to resist, but it was too late.

“Pfft——!!!”

With a dull thud, the spear pierced Ji Yan's throat and blood gushed out instantly.

A gleam of disbelief flashed in Ji Yan's eyes. He slowly fell off his horse, landed on the ground, and died.
