"Report ~!"
Nine Li Tribe.
Jiuli Tribe Chief Li Zhan led 100,000 elite Jiuli Tribe warriors and 400,000 troops from the 72 feudal vassals to gather.
"Reporting to tribe leader, Captain Li Qu led his men to ambush in the black forest but was counterattacked by the Great Shang army. 3300 people died in battle and 600 people escaped, all of them injured!”
Hearing this, Li Zhan's face turned ugly.
"Damn it! Who told him to do it on his own?"
Li Zhan shouted angrily and looked at the scout. Where's Li Qu?"
"Captain…Captain Li is injured and has returned to the camp to bandage his wounds," the scout replied.
Li Zhan's face darkened as he shouted,"We'll deal with him after this matter is over!"
As he spoke, he looked at the scout and said,"How many soldiers did that brat Di Xin bring?”
"Patriarch, there are only about 200,000 soldiers. Moreover, Wen Zhong doesn't seem to be in the army!" the scout said hesitantly.”
"Two hundred thousand?"
"Didn't you say 500,000?" Li Zhan frowned. And Wen Zhong isn't here either?"
Li Zhan immediately became alert.
"Wen Zhong is a disciple of Jie School created by the Shangqing Saint. His cultivation is profound and cannot be underestimated!”
"Now that Di Xin has only brought 200,000 soldiers, the remaining 300,000 should be Commander Wen Zhong…"
Li Zhan narrowed his eyes and looked at the scout."Have people pay more attention to the other two routes to the North Sea and find out the movements of Wen Zhong and the 300,000-strong army!”
"Yes, sir!"
The scout left.
Li Zhan turned his head and looked at the densely packed Jiuli Race warriors and the 400,000 alliance army.
More than 500,000 people, in terms of numbers, they were no less than Great Shang's troops.
However, Li Zhan didn't dare to underestimate him.
He didn't know about the 300,000 soldiers that Di Xin brought, but he knew that the 200,000 soldiers that Wen Zhong brought were all Great Shang's elite cavalry!
The 200,000 strong army was no weaker than the elite warriors of the Jiuli Clan. Each soldier could take on ten enemies at once!
Thus, not only did the alliance army of 400,000 troops gather for this battle, the Jiuli Tribe also sent out all their elites!
Including Li Zhan himself, the leaders of the nine tribes all went out to fight.
Each of the nine tribes would select eight of their strongest warriors, a total of eighty-one people, to lead the hundred thousand strong young warriors.
This lineup was already the greatest force that the Jiuli Race could bring out!
However, after thinking about it, Li Zhan still felt that it wasn't too safe.
Frowning and pondering for a moment, he turned to Li Hu, who was leading the seventy-two armies, and said,""Go to the ancestral shrine and explain to the High Priest to bring out the Ancestor's Blade!”
"What? This…"
Not only Li Hu, but the rest of the Jiuli people were also shocked.
"Big brother, isn't a mere 200,000 Great Shang soldiers making a mountain out of a molehill?" Li Hu frowned.”
Li Zhan shook his head, his face solemn."It's different this time! After all, Di Xin is the Great Shang Emperor, and he is personally leading the army. These 200,000 Great Shang soldiers are also protected by the emperor's fate. The power of karma is something our Jiuli Race cannot withstand!”
"The Ancestral Blade drank the blood of Human Emperor Xuanyuan back then, so it's a weapon of evil. With the suppression of this weapon of evil, we can offset the power of karma!”
Everyone was deep in thought.
"Then can we use the Ancestor's Blade to kill that brat Di Xin?" Li Hu suddenly asked.”
"No!"
Li Zhan was shocked. He quickly said," It's just that in order to offset the karmic backlash from killing his soldiers, we have to use our ancestral weapons. If we kill him, I'm afraid the entire Jiuli Tribe will be wiped out!"”
As he spoke, his expression was extremely solemn. He slowly swept his gaze across everyone present and said,"Remember, you can't attack Di Xin, not even if you hurt him. This matter concerns the life and death of our Jiuli, so you can't be careless!”
"Yes, big brother!"
Everyone's expressions were extremely solemn as they cupped their hands.
Li Zhan nodded and looked at Li Hu."Go! Be more polite to the High Priest and don't cause trouble in the ancestral shrine! Also, you can't go to that place…"
That place!
Li Hu's expression changed slightly, as if he did not dare to say anything more. He directly cupped his hands and said,"Yes, sir!"
With that, he turned around and left.
Li Zhan stood where he was and looked at a certain direction in the Jiuli Tribe.
Then, he turned around and looked at the faintly discernible mountain road in the southern mountain range. A hint of worry flashed in his eyes as he muttered in a low voice,"I don't know if this battle is a blessing or a curse for us…"
The environment of the Northern Sea was harsh and not suitable for the tribesmen to live in.
That was why he listened to that person's suggestion and joined forces with the other vassals to oppose the Shang Dynasty. They wanted to overthrow the Great Shang's rule and march into the Central Plains to let their people live a better life.
Great Shang was currently in a state of turmoil, and the world was in chaos. Logically speaking, this matter should be foolproof!
But for some reason, he felt uneasy.
After a moment of silence, Li Zhan shook his head and muttered to himself,"I hope I'm worrying too much…"
…
"Report ~!"
When the sun was high up in the sky, Ye Chen led his army without stopping. They crossed seventy miles by the north coast and arrived at a flat land.
Right at this moment, a scout reported,""Reporting to Your Majesty, thirty li ahead is the last dangerous place leading to the Jiuli Tribe-Eagle Beak Mountain!”
Eagle Beak Mountain!
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and looked up ahead. He could vaguely see a towering mountain range standing tall, but the mountain range did not seem to be connected. It was as if it had been split in half.
Ye Chen looked at the scout." What's the terrain of Eagle Beak Mountain like?”
" Your Majesty," the scout replied solemnly." There are tall mountains on both sides of this mountain. They look like eagles standing with their mouths facing each other. That's why Eagle Beak Mountain is called this place!"”
"However, the canyon between these two mountains is very narrow. I'm afraid that at most 50 people can pass through at one time! However, as long as they passed through Eagle Beak Mountain, the terrain would be very flat!”
Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned." Only fifty people can pass at once?”
The scout nodded." Yes, Your Majesty!”
" Your Majesty, I'm afraid we need to be careful on this trip…"
At this moment, a black-armored deputy suddenly said,""Along the way, other than that time in the black forest, our army has not encountered any ambushes. If the Jiuli Tribe wants to ambush us, they will definitely set up an ambush at Eagle Beak Mountain. Otherwise, the terrain will be flat and we will be able to reach the Jiuli Tribe.”
"But if we fight them head-on, I don't think they will be willing to fight us like this!”
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand and ordered,"Continue to advance. Let's wait and see!"”
"Understood!"
The army continued to advance.
An hour later, Ye Chen finally saw the Eagle Beak Mountain that the scout had mentioned.
At the end of the road ahead stood two tall mountains that were thousands of feet tall. They were like eagles spreading their wings and flying in pairs. However, the two of them stood with their mouths facing each other, looking majestic and a little strange.
Eagle Beak Mountain lived up to its name!
Looking down, Ye Chen frowned." It's really that narrow?”
Just as the scout had said, the valley in the middle of Eagle Beak Mountain could only accommodate about fifty people at a time.
With such a terrain, if the enemy set up an ambush here, it would indeed be easier for them to fall for it!
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and shook his head. He looked to the side and said,""There's no other way now. Fengxian, you and I will split up. You take 100,000 people first, and I'll take the rest of the army. If anything happens, we can react in time!”
Lu Bu was startled, but he quickly cupped his hands and said,""Yes, Great King!"
