"Report! The rebels have breached the East Gate and South Gate!"
"Report! Deng Jiugong is rebelling!"
"Report! Marshal Huang Feihu requests support!"
"Report! The rebels have besieged the palace!"
Listening to the battle reports coming one after another from below, King Zhou smiled indifferently, waved to the people below, and did not make any response.
"My king, the princes have entered the city. Is it time to close the net?" asked the nine-tailed fox with a smile.
"Don't be in a hurry. Let them fight for a while. Old man Ji Chang is very suspicious. He must be watching at the gate at this time and doesn't have the courage to come in. So we can't close the net yet. What we have to do now is to wait until all the rebels have attacked the palace. Only then will we be able to close the net." King Zhou said with a smile.
The nine-tailed fox nodded and said to Shen Gongbao beside him, "Grand Master, you must keep a closer eye on us now and make sure all the rebels are trapped."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have already arranged the personnel. I have spies at every entrance and exit, closely watching these people's every move. Now there are only about five million troops entering the city, and the real elite of the princes' army are still watching outside the city gate." Shen Gongbao reported.
"Wait, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. This time I will make sure that old Ji Chang will die without a burial place!" King Zhou said with a laugh.
Huang Feihu is now alone and hesitant. Should he retreat to the palace or flee the city?
Although Long Junhai had sent him a secret message before, saying that there was a trap in Chaoge City and asked him to stay away, if he did so, it would give others a handle, and his reputation of loyalty and patriotism would probably be lost in the future!
What’s more important is that his two nephews are still in the palace. If they die, everything will be ruined!
Last night, Huang Feihu had sent a message to his two nephews, asking them to act accordingly and not remain in the palace. He wondered what their current situation was. With the current chaos and turmoil, Huang Feihu decided it would be best to protect himself and escape from the chaos. So, he immediately led his troops out of the north gate, heading towards the Purple Bamboo Forest, clearly intending to reunite with Long Junhai's forces.
"My lord, Huang Feihu broke out and fled towards the Purple Bamboo Forest. It seems that he has already formed an alliance with Long Junhai." Yang Jian deliberately let Huang Feihu leave because he wanted to preserve the strength of the army. Otherwise, if they really encountered a trap, it would be very difficult to resist.
Ji Chang nodded and said, "That makes sense. When Deng Jiugong surrendered, he said Huang Feihu also had rebellious intentions, but he wanted his nephew to be the emperor. For now, don't worry about Huang Feihu. Our target is King Zhou, so we must not be distracted."
"This is natural, but King Zhou's army seemed to have no intention of resisting at all. They retreated as soon as they met. Now all the remaining Shang troops are hiding in the palace. I am worried that they are luring the enemy deep into our territory, so they did not launch a general attack, but just let the people below besiege the palace." Yang Jian said.
"It's not wrong to besiege first. Our current military strength should be enough to break through the palace. But in order to avoid any accidents, I have already informed the Chan Sect in advance. I estimate that the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect should come here to support us in the next two days. As soon as the Twelve Golden Immortals arrive, King Zhou will not be able to escape even if he has the ability to reach the sky!" Ji Chang was afraid that the night would be too long and dreams would arise, as early as half a year ago, he sent a message to the top leaders of the Chan Sect. The other party also agreed to send experts to help, so Ji Chang had the courage and confidence to fight a decisive battle.
At this moment, Long Junhai has already joined forces with Huang Feihu's army. Huang Feihu currently only has 200,000 troops left, but each of them is a master above the level of mortal immortal, and they are all good at fighting and are all elite.
"Mr. Long, we meet again!" Huang Feihu was a little embarrassed today. If he was not helpless, he would not meet Long Junhai at this time.
"Haha, General Huang, please come in quickly. I'm really happy that you can cooperate with me at this time!" Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Mr. Long, you are joking. Your current strength is not inferior to my 200,000 troops. I have come to you for help. I hope Mr. Long can take me in!" Huang Feihu said with a wry smile.
"No way. When my power was weak, you also made great efforts and helped a lot. Naturally, there will be a place for General Huang today." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Mr. Long is a kind and righteous man! From today on, you are my, Huang Feihu's, lord, and all the Huang family soldiers will obey your orders on demolition!" Huang Feihu said seriously.
"He who knows the times is a hero. General Huang is a smart man, so I won't hide anything from him. I believe General Huang wants your nephew to ascend the throne and become emperor. I won't object to this, because I don't have that ambition. What I want is for Jiejiao to be famous throughout the world. In the future, as long as the Shang Empire can support our Jiejiao, that will be enough." Long Junhai said very clearly.
Huang Feihu was surprised to hear this, but then he thought it was normal. Long Junhai was a disciple of the Jiejiao Sect, so naturally he would not be interested in the throne of the Shang Empire.
"My lord, you have a broad mind. Huang Feihu really admires you!"
Upon hearing this, Long Junhai smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous. I, Long Junhai, always keep my word. From now on, the kingdom of the Great Shang will still belong to your nephew, and the Great Shang will only have the support of the Jiejiao sect."
"That's for sure! Huang Feihu would like to thank the lord on behalf of my nephew!" Huang Feihu said while kneeling.
"Your men only need to rest for now, and they don't need to participate in the next battle. After all, the next battle is a contest between masters, and no matter how many men you have, it will be useless." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"I obey your command!" Huang Feihu was very happy. He didn't expect that Long Junhai didn't have to do anything himself. In this way, he could preserve his strength well.
"You should withdraw first. It's not time for a decisive battle yet. Let's wait and see what happens."
Long Junhai's men have been resting for a long time. The reason they didn't take action was to wait for a good opportunity.
At noon the next day, a rainbow cloud appeared in the sky. Ji Chang was extremely excited and immediately took all the elite backbones to greet them, because the ones who came here were the Twelve Golden Immortals!
"King Jichang of Xibo has brought the princes and generals from all over the country to support the twelve golden immortals of the orthodox teaching to come down to earth!" King Jichang of Xibo knelt down immediately after he said this, and the people behind him followed suit.
The Twelve Golden Immortals stood with their hands behind their backs. They were of high seniority and were the second generation of disciples of the entire Chan Sect, so it was proper for the people below to kneel down and bow to them.
The leading Nanji Xianweng said, "Now that all twelve of us brothers have arrived, we are not afraid even if King Zhou invites the masters of the Holy Beast Sect. You can attack the palace directly."
"Ji Chang obeys the order! All soldiers listen to my command, and work together to kill King Zhou!" Ji Chang roared loudly.
