Chapter 320: Wen Zhong Attacks the City, Jiang Ziya Defeated

Jiang Ziya had the intention to retreat, but this battle was his battle to establish prestige, and whether he won or lost would affect the Chan Sect's planning, as well as his weight in Xiqi later.

It determined whether he could master great power and facilitate the implementation of the Investiture of the Gods, so there could be no mistakes, and he said indifferently.

"Wen Zhong is the cornerstone of Yin Shang. I didn't expect him to bring troops here personally for a mere Chong Houhu. In that case, let's meet Wen Zhong."

San Yisheng couldn't say anything more and bowed slightly: "Everything follows the Prime Minister's orders."

Wen Zhong, coming out of the camp, said to the deputy general: "Pass the order down to let the soldiers prepare to meet the enemy."

As Jiang Ziya was reorganizing the three armies to prepare to compete with Wen Zhong, a soldier ran over.

"Report, Prime Minister, the scout reports that Chong Heihu has captured Chong Houhu's family and is shouting at us on the city wall. The culprit Chong Houhu has been captured, and he intends to surrender to us."

Hearing this, Jiang Ziya arrived outside the gate of Chong City and asked someone to shout at Chong Heihu.

After a while, the city gates slowly opened, and Chong Heihu was seen in full military attire, leading a squad of elite soldiers out, with the family of Chong Houhu being escorted behind them.

Seeing Chong Houhu's family tied up neatly and sent out, Jiang Ziya was overjoyed.

"Heaven helps me. I was worried that if Chong Houhu saw Wen Zhong arrive, he would gain the courage to leave the city to meet him and launch a pincer attack with Wen Zhong, which would have required me to station part of my forces to guard against it. Now it seems that is no longer necessary."

As soon as Chong Heihu came out, he saw Jiang Ziya and walked forward quickly, kneeling on one knee, and said loudly: "Prime Minister Jiang, Chong Houhu is cruel and does many evil things. Now I, Chong Heihu, have captured him and specifically lead the soldiers and civilians in the city to surrender to Xiqi!"

Jiang Ziya nodded slightly: "Chong Heihu, your move is to destroy relatives for righteousness, know the general situation, and conform to the number of heaven. Xiqi welcomes your surrender."

Chong Heihu stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Prime Minister. From now on, I am willing to serve Xiqi and plan the great cause together."

Behind, Chong Houhu was full of resentment, not expecting his younger brother to betray him.

He shouted angrily: "Heihu, we are brothers! You sell your brother for glory, betray the King, and work for Xiqi. Are you worthy of the holy grace the King has given our Chong family? Are you worthy of the ancestors of our Chong family?"

Chong Heihu snorted coldly: "Good birds choose trees to perch on, Big Brother. The fortune of Yin Shang is exhausted. You don't know how to adapt, so don't blame me. Today's result is all your own doing!"

Hearing this sophistry, Chong Houhu continued to curse.

Jiang Ziya waved his hand: "Lock up Chong Houhu's family for now."

He wanted to execute Chong Houhu's family now, but Wen Zhong was coming here, so Jiang Ziya had to delay this matter and focus on dealing with Wen Zhong.

Chong Heihu surrendered, Xiqi soldiers controlled Chong City, and Ji Chang moved in.

After a while, Wen Zhong brought troops to outside Chong City, according to the scout's report.

Wen Zhong already knew what happened in Chong City. He didn't expect Chong Heihu to betray, sell his brother for glory, and surrender to Xiqi.

Wen Zhong's eyes were cold. He must execute Chong Heihu on the spot.

Seeing that the Xiqi soldiers in front were already waiting for his arrival early.

Wen Zhong waved his hand to signal the soldiers to stop.

Looking at Jiang Ziya, who was the leader, Wen Zhong's eyes were complex.

At the beginning, they worked together to suppress the rebellion and encountered demons and ghosts, but now they had to meet with weapons.

"Jiang Ziya, the King treated you well, appointing you as a lower grand master. You suddenly disappeared, and this old man thought you had an accident, but I didn't expect you to betray the King and come to Xiqi to be a rebel. Do you know your crime?"

Jiang Ziya snorted coldly.

"Di Xin is foolish and has no way, the fortune of Yin Shang is exhausted, and the Zhou family should flourish. I just defected to a wise master, so where does the betrayal come from? Grand Preceptor, you have come from afar, don't tell me you just want to say these things?"

Wen Zhong's expression was stern, and he said coldly: "Naturally not. This old man is acting on the King's order to clear out you rebels and protect the peace of the Yin Shang landscape."

Jiang Ziya bowed: "In that case, I will ask the Grand Preceptor for advice."

Wen Zhong glanced at Jiang Ziya, who was surrounded by mortal generals. Chan Sect disciples did not come to help at this time.

Because of Gu Xiu's reminder, he learned of the Chan Sect's intentions in advance, so Wen Zhong planned to get rid of Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya before the Chan Sect disciples came down.

This would destroy the Chan Sect's plan to replace Yin Shang with the help of Xiqi.

Because Wen Zhong had been leading troops to fight for many years and had rich experience, if there was no Chan Sect help, just relying on Jiang Ziya's military talent, he was not Wen Zhong's opponent at all.

As soon as they started fighting, the Xiqi army was defeated.

Jiang Ziya saw that Wen Zhong was indeed well-deserved and not easy to mess with, so he immediately withdrew his troops, retreated into the city, and firmly guarded Chong City.

Wen Zhong rode the Ink Qilin, his expression cold, his eyes like torches, and behind him was a black, imposing army.

"Beat the drums! Attack the city!"

Wen Zhong thought to himself, this city must be broken, and Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya inside must be gotten rid of before the Chan Sect reacted.

Following the order, the majestic war drums suddenly sounded, echoing in the world like muffled thunder.

Jiang Ziya saw that Wen Zhong didn't even rest and directly let the soldiers attack the city, his face heavy.

He originally thought that Wen Zhong had traveled a long distance and fought a battle.

As long as he retreated to guard Chong City, Wen Zhong would definitely camp outside, let the soldiers rest, and would not attack the city immediately, and he could also take this time to find a way to ask the Chan Sect for help.

He didn't expect Wen Zhong not to follow common sense and directly attack the city.

Jiang Ziya organized resistance, but the Xiqi soldiers had low morale and it was difficult to form effective resistance.

The siege vehicle hit the city gate again and again, and finally, with a loud noise, the city gate was knocked open.

Wen Zhong personally led the elite troops to kill in, sweeping away everything.

Jiang Ziya saw that the general situation was gone and took Ji Chang to flee.

As soon as Jiang Ziya fled, the enemy's resistance completely disintegrated, and the soldiers threw down their weapons one after another and knelt to surrender.

Wen Zhong rode the Ink Qilin, constantly searching for Jiang Ziya's tracks in the city, without the slightest joy on his face.

"Report! Grand Preceptor, Jiang Ziya's figure has not been found!" A soldier hurried to report.

Wen Zhong's brows furrowed tightly. Jiang Ziya must die, otherwise, this siege would be meaningless.

"Report! Grand Preceptor, we caught some people and asked. When we broke into the city, Jiang Ziya had already fled from the South Gate."

Wen Zhong cursed secretly.

"Damn it."

"Pass the order down to rest and reorganize, and crusade against Xiqi in a few days."

"Yes." ===== CHAPTER 321 =====
