Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 822 - 758: Are the People of Julong Pass Crazy?

Although on the Western Regions’ side, some strong figures in the army immediately resorted to some strategies, intending to resist the Sui Army’s offensive.

However, just as they dispelled the clouds overhead, the Three Lizard Brothers took the opportunity to raise a fierce wind, blowing the surrounding sand over, even overturning men and horses.

By the time the strong wind finally ceased, the soldiers from the Residential Mountain Pass who were pursuing from behind had also arrived, chopping down the Western Regions soldiers who were still rubbing their eyes on the ground as if they were cutting vegetables. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

And some of the strong figures from the Path of Life and Death in the Western Regions had just made a move, without fully unleashing their techniques, when Zhang San, who had walked out of Julong Pass with his men, broke all their techniques.

"Zhang San, with you helping out like this, once this battle is over, I’m afraid everyone will think that all the credit goes to the Three Lizard Brothers. By then, no one will remember your good deeds!"

Hu was curious as to why Zhang San would do such a thankless task.

Zhang San laughed heartily and said, "I consider the three of them friends, so I naturally want to help them when I can! Although it was actually me who broke the techniques of the Path of Life and Death just now, the soldiers will only think it was all done by the Three Lizard Brothers. Then they will have even more faith in these three Guardian Gods of the army."

"Similarly, the Three Lizard Brothers gain everyone’s trust and thereby receive a more powerful Power of Incense Flame, which gives them some capability to neutralize the techniques of the Path of Life and Death."

"If this continues, the three of them will truly become the Guardian Gods of the army! Isn’t this good?"

Hu sneered and said, "Being so selfless, this doesn’t seem like your style!"

"Nonsense!" said the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums in dissatisfaction, "Zhang San and I have always been so selfless; it’s just you who always thinks of some messy things."

At this moment, Hu really didn’t know how to retort the Silly Roe Deer.

On second thought, it’s better to just let it go; there’s really nothing to say to such a dullard.

And Zhang San knew that with his help, he could make the soldiers of Julong Pass believe in the Three Lizard Brothers even more, thereby enhancing them.

The more the three brothers are enhanced, the easier it is for his senior brother to research things of the Path of Ghosts and Gods.

This is greatly beneficial for the framework of Dominion over the Six Paths that he and his senior brother created together.

...

"What!? Western Regions soldiers are approaching us?"

The general stationed at a garrison on Longyou Road couldn’t help but be shocked upon hearing the report.

Recently, the everyday skirmishes among the Demon Clan were already giving them headaches.

Why can’t these small nations of the Western Regions settle down?

"Which road are they coming from the west?"

"Reporting to the general, they’re not coming from the west, but from the east!"

"Nonsense!"

The general slapped the table, stood up, and walked out of the tent.

"All the small nations of the Western Regions are in the west, how could they come from the east..."

Before the general could finish his sentence, he noticed a group of over a thousand Western Regions soldiers running up from below the eastern valley.

He couldn’t help but furrow his brows and coldly said, "How did these Western Regions soldiers get to the east? And why are they running over from the east so hastily?"

Just as the general was full of doubts, he saw another group of Julong Pass soldiers rushing out from below the eastern valley.

This group of soldiers number in the twenties.

Upon seeing this scene, the general’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t believe it.

The defenders of Julong Pass!

More than twenty people!

Chasing over a thousand Western Regions soldiers!

Even in a performance, no one would dare to portray it like this!

However, what happened next left him even more shocked.

Not long after, these twenty plus soldiers leapt into flight, jumping to heights as if possessed by the Grasshopper Spirit.

After leaping a few times, they circled to the front of the thousand Western Regions soldiers, then drew their blades and within moments, slaughtered over a hundred soldiers from the Western Regions.

The remaining Western Regions soldiers looked at each other; in the end, they all knelt on the ground... and surrendered.

Then, the twenty-odd soldiers walked over, cut off the left ears of the remaining thousand Western Regions soldiers, and collected them.

They then seized some of their horses, pointed in the direction of their own camp, and left.

Soon, this thousand-strong band of Western Regions soldiers, who already had "military merits" with them, came to the gate of their own camp, wanting to surrender.

The reason the general had originally chosen to station the troops on a mountain was partly because it provided a wide field of vision, so he could know the situation no matter which direction the enemy approached.

Also, because of the high terrain, very few people came to inspect them, allowing him to secretly drink when he had the chance.

At this moment, the general asked the Deputy General beside him, "Didn’t I quit drinking recently? Did I drink too much yesterday along with sleepwalking? What on earth did I just witness?"

At the same time, in many places along Longyou Road, scenes very similar to the one just described were unfolding.

Even dozens or hundreds of Julong Pass defenders could chase down thousands, or even tens of thousands, of Western Regions soldiers.

Yet these Western Regions soldiers, facing Julong Pass defenders who were less than one percent of their own number, truly had not an ounce of courage to resist.

After all, their own leader was just cleaved along with his mount by an opponent’s petty soldier with a single blade!

Twenty something people used a long spear to suppress an opponent soldier’s Long Lance, and then the opposing Long Lance created a storm that directly flung them away.

How could they even think of continuing to fight!

And at this point, Zhang San also caught up with the chase.

Though he said the credit was Li Shangfa’s, followed by Wang Ziteng’s.

But Zhang San also knew that by staying with Wang Ziteng for a while longer, he could take the opportunity to teach him more about the art of war.

Soon, the more than ten scattered units, through the Three Lizard Brothers signaling through the wind, were all gathered together.

Li Shangfa ran back in excitement and said, "Deputy Chief Zhang! I made a contribution! I made a contribution! I personally beheaded a national king! That was a national king!"

Zhang San smiled slightly and cupped his hands to Li Shangfa and said, "Congratulations, congratulations! Also, if possible, please use this sword to kill the immediate next time you encounter the national king of a Western Regions small nation. This is the Imperial Sword, which can absorb the opponent’s Qi Luck of those it kills. Then use this Qi Luck to replenish the Qi Luck of our Great Sui."

Li Shangfa looked at the bloodstains on the sword, curious, "Did Deputy Chief Zhang also kill a national king?"

Zhang San smiled, shook his head, and said, "I have only average skills; these four national kings were all killed by my sixth younger brother."

Li Shangfa naturally knew that it must have been Zhang San helping Wang Ziteng.

This battle, it’s likely that Wang Ziteng will gain fame from this victory.

But after all, Wang Ziteng now can be counted among my subordinate generals too; his merits are a testament to my good leadership, and my contribution would not be insubstantial either.

"Deputy Chief Zhang, why did you reunite us?"

Zhang San smiled and said, "In this battle, the armies of the Thirty-Six Countries of the Western Regions have been scattered. But naturally, the war can’t just end like this."

"Then what does Deputy Chief Zhang mean?"

"Since the Thirty-Six Nations of the Western Regions attacked us, it also makes sense for us to counter-attack. Right? After all, I need more national kings, and you all need military honors in the war of conquest! How about it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shangfa was shocked.

He was merely the commander of Julong Pass, responsible for guarding the easternmost pass of Longyou Road, defending against invasions from the Demon Clan and small Western Regions nations.

As a result, now he’s taking eight thousand defenders to the westernmost areas to destroy nations?

But thinking about it, such tremendous credit, how could it not be seized!

Most importantly, the war of conquest, just thinking about it is exciting as hell!

"Deputy Chief Zhang, my life, Li Shangfa will follow you till the end!"
