Chapter 360: Marshal Wen Invites Troops

Outside the South Gate of Heaven, above a layer of clouds.

There are many human figures among the clouds and mist.

It is said that when there are tens of thousands of people, it is boundless and when a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals are assembled, it is really overwhelming and looks like a locust plague.

That's right, standing on the reviewing stand in the Heavenly Palace parade ground, Wen Rui looked at the Heavenly Army soldiers standing in three-dimensional formation. His first impression was that from a distance they looked like a swarm of locusts rushing towards him.

The main reason for him to have this illusion was that the heavenly soldiers and generals stood in formation a little casually. To put it bluntly, they just stood there randomly. Relying on their ability to fly, they simply could not march in neat formations and form square formations like mortal armies.

Wen Rui thought back to the TV dramas he had watched in his previous life, and felt that they seemed to fit the stereotype quite well.

In the TV series, when Li Jing led the heavenly soldiers and generals to fight against the monkeys, the heavenly soldiers and generals acting as the background were posing in the air in an orderly manner, at different distances and heights.

For a moment, Wen Rui was not sure whether the heavenly soldiers and generals lined up like this because they were used to being free and undisciplined, or whether the immortals and mortals were different and that this was how a flying army should line up, as it would look more imposing if lined up like this.

One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, wearing golden armor and holding immortal weapons, although their formation was a little messy, they were still very powerful, like a dark cloud covering the sky. When ordinary demon kings saw such a powerful army, they would not dare to have the slightest desire to resist and would be scared before the battle even started.

Wen Rui turned his head and said to Li Jing who was standing beside him: "Deputy Commander Li, what are you waiting for? Quickly announce the order to your subordinates."

Li Jing was very tense, his movements were very unnatural and his expression was very stiff.

It can be seen that he is trying his best to restrain himself.

God is in heaven and has no control over himself.

In other words, money is hard to make, shit is hard to eat...

One moment he is your mortal enemy, and the next he becomes your boss. It is difficult for anyone to remain calm and face it calmly.

Unfolding the golden scroll, Li Jing spoke word by word, "The Jade Emperor issued an edict: Jie Tian Great Emperor Wen Rui is ordered to temporarily take over the position of Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army for a period of thirty years. The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing is demoted to the position of Deputy Marshal of the Heavenly Army, assisting the commander-in-chief in handling all matters related to the replacement of the entire army with the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers. This is the decree."

After the decree was read out, ripples immediately appeared, like a stone thrown into a mirror lake. The heavenly soldiers and generals were stunned and could not help whispering to each other.

"Why did we change our head coach so easily? Who is he?"

"Wen Rui? Is that the young Grand Tutor Wen Rui of the Shang army? How could a man like him who has committed so many evil deeds be deified and even sit on the position of marshal? God is blind!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Marshal Wen has millions of soldiers under his command, is extremely intelligent, and is feared by the world. He defeated your Zhou army and caused countless casualties. How come he can't be the commander-in-chief?"

"That's right. Marshal Wen Zhong is the most suitable to be the commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Army, but his merits and character are so high that it would be unfair for him to be a marshal. It would be quite appropriate to let his son, Marshal Wen Rui, be the commander-in-chief."

"You business dogs, aiding and abetting the tyrant, committing atrocities that defy heaven, are not ashamed of it, but proud of it!"

"Zhou Gou! If the saint had not favored you back then, you traitors would have been killed by Marshal Wen and his son, Marshal Wen!"

……

Some of the heavenly soldiers and generals are soldiers from the two armies who died in the war between Shang and Zhou. It is unknown whether these soldiers were lucky or unfortunate.

Because of their participation in the Conferred God Tribulation, all those who had military merits would ascend to heaven along with their deified generals after their death in battle.

The generals were given titles of Heavenly Sovereigns, Star Sovereigns, and Divine Generals, and they followed suit and were given titles of Heavenly Soldiers.

There were also some physical cultivators who ascended to the upper realms after the great calamity of the Conferred Gods and were incorporated into the heavenly army, but their number was not large.

After all, after the great catastrophe, the spiritual energy of the world in the mortal world has become increasingly thin, and Wen Tianzun’s heavenly thunder test is also very strict, so the number of cultivators who successfully pass the catastrophe and ascend to heaven every year is not that large.

After five hundred years, there were only one or two thousand people, among whom only a few hundred had physical cultivation and were assigned to serve in the Heavenly Army. Among the Heavenly Soldiers, there were also locals of the Heavenly Realm who were born as celestial beings in the Heavenly Realm, but their cultivation aptitude was slightly inferior, and their fate and luck were not good enough. After thousands of years in the Heavenly Army, they had become old veterans and had no chance of promotion.

"quiet!"

Wen Rui spoke with the eloquence of heaven in his mouth and thunder in his tongue. His rebuke was like thunderbolt from the sky, and the sound rolled in the clouds like thunder.

This time, he did not use a loudspeaker made of nanorobots as he did before, but only used a little of the emperor's divine power.

Not to mention, after being deified, it is really convenient to use these minor gods.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Needless to say, Wen Zhong is the heavenly soldiers who are the reincarnations of the heroic spirits of the Shang army. Wen Rui is the military god of the Shang army, and they all worship Wen Rui as an idol.

Many of the Zhou army heroes among the heavenly soldiers were killed by him personally, and most of them died in a very tragic way. They hated and feared Wen Rui, and the average psychological shadow area per person was several hundred square kilometers.

There is a saying among the Zhou army that "it is better to meet the God of Plague than to meet the two Wens". The God of Plague is Lü Yue, and the two Wens are Wen Zhong and his son Wen Rui.

If you encounter the Plague God, even if you are infected with the plague, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival. The immortals will give you elixirs to cure you.

If you meet the father and son of the Wen family, you will definitely die, and even gods cannot save you.

Of the two Wens, ordinary soldiers of Zhou army were more afraid of encountering the young Grand Tutor Wen Rui.

Even if you meet Wen Zhong, you can die quickly. But if you meet Wen Rui, you will be burned in the flames of fire or swept into the flood of water. Those who meet Wen Rui are lucky.

Let’s put it this way. Wen Rui was a bit unethical back then, or he didn’t abide by international conventions. He used mustard gas, white phosphorus bombs, radioactive dirty bombs, hemorrhagic fever viruses…

Since there was no international law in ancient times, he used it unscrupulously on the battlefield.

The enemy army has gods helping them to cheat, so if you want to win you have to use some unconventional tactics.

At that time, Wen Rui believed that with his own aptitude for cultivation, no matter how much he practiced, he would never be a match for the immortals, and the immortals of the Jiejiao would not listen to the orders of a mere mortal like him.

The most infuriating thing was that his adoptive father Wen Zhong did not listen to his advice to kill the evil queen, depose Emperor Xin, and establish a new king.

It almost blocked Wen Rui's possibility of helping Jiejiao to turn the tables and win.

He could only try his best to kill as many Zhou troops as possible within his power, so that King Wu of Zhou would have no troops to attack King Zhou, and perhaps he could change the course of history.

Just this one shout shocked the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals into silence.

Li Jing, who was standing nearby, felt a surge of bitterness in his heart when he saw this scene.

Obviously, he was the first to be the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army, but even he had to shout several times before he could subdue those arrogant soldiers and make them shut up and listen to his instructions.

That was when the pagoda still existed. Now that it is gone, his status in the soldiers' hearts has plummeted.

Wen Rui narrowed his eyes, looked around Zhou Tian, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't recognize me, go back and ask your comrades around you, so as not to break military rules and fall into my hands, and then regret giving birth to you!"

These words were full of murderous intent. Even those heavenly soldiers who had never experienced the struggle between Shang and Zhou were frightened by the tyranny and dared not act rashly.

The heavenly soldiers who were the reincarnations of Zhou Jun's heroic spirits swallowed their saliva one after another, and unknowingly stood in a more standard posture.
