Chapter 803 Lead by example
Chapter 803 Lead by example
The shameless sneak attack by the Heavenly Army lasted for a while. After the Zerg suffered huge casualties in vain, three Zerg lords with appearances very different from ordinary magic insects flew out from the Zerg.
These three insect lords and the gods who came with the army from heaven had all been seen in the blood sea battle video provided by Wen Rui.
The orange centipede witch, the blue moth witch, and the green mantis witch.
Although the gods had never experienced the ferocity of the three-headed witch firsthand, they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy just by watching the video.
Yang Jian, Nezha, Huang Tianhua, Jinzha, Muzha, Wei Tuo, the best generals among the three realms with top combat power, attacked together but were defeated by the three witches.
Although the twenty-eight star gods and thirty-six thunder generals are also the elite among the gods in heaven, and each of them has extraordinary magical powers, they cannot be said to be stronger than Yang Jian and Nezha.
Fortunately, the purple butterfly witch who possessed the terrifying power to confuse the mind and the blue jellyfish witch who had the power to collect magic weapons and magic items did not show up.
The disparity in high-end combat power between the two sides is too great, so this battle really cannot be fought.
The Butterfly Witch's magical power of bewitching the mind has a very large range, and is strong enough to imprison the mind of a Bodhisattva. The Jellyfish Witch collects people's magic weapons and weapons. Many heavenly generals are like Li Jing, who have mediocre abilities and only rely on magic weapons and weapons to maintain their strength. Without magic weapons and weapons, they are no different from useless people.
For example, the four kings who were forcibly recruited by Wen Rui - the four brothers of the Mo family.
The Qingyun Sword, Pearl Umbrella, Jade Pipa and Flowery Marten are the true forms of the four heavenly kings. If they lose their iconic magic weapons, the four of them will become super soldiers, not even qualified to be gatekeepers.
As for why the four brothers of the Mo family were brought in, it is true that the four of them have been colluding with the Western Church for the past five hundred years, but their roots are all capable generals under Wen Zhong, and they have also served under the young Grand Tutor Wen Rui many times.
After the great catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, the Western Religion tried hard to win over the four generals of the Demon Family, attempting to poach them to be the guardian kings of the Western Religion. These people were also deeply shaken. If there was no external interference, in a few hundred or thousand years, they would be successfully won over, and their bodies would be in Heaven but their hearts would be in Lingshan.
A foreign sect is trying to win over the generals guarding the four gates of the capital city who are affiliated with the Chinese gods. This is absolutely despicable and they definitely have no good intentions.
However, the Jade Emperor turned a blind eye to this and watched it happen, which shows how stupid and slow he was.
If Lingshan attacks Heaven in the future, there is no need to attack the city. Just shout and an insider will open the city gate and let the enemy army rush into the city without losing a single soldier.
It has only been five hundred years since the Conferred God Ceremony, and the Western Church has not yet completely won over the hearts of the four generals of the Demon Family.
Wen Rui pulled them to line up. First, to warn them and make them understand that even if they were deified, they would still be labeled as Wen family generals; second, to win them over, so that they could follow Wen Rui to gain military merits and be rewarded by the Jade Emperor; third, to show their loyalty. If the Heavenly Army and the Western Religion came to a fight, they would have to act as vanguards and kill a few monks to make their stance clear.
Let them return to the Wen family's power group before the Western religion succeeds in winning them over. If they rebel in the future, it will be easier to open the city gates.
In later generations, during the Kangxi period, when the Nine Dragons fought for the imperial power and during the Jiajing period when they took down Heshen, the key moments were all about seeing which force had greater influence on the Nine-Gate Commander.
Wen Rui, who was burning with rebellious heart, naturally had to plan ahead and prepare for a rainy day to lay a solid foundation for overthrowing the Jade Emperor's corrupt rule in the future.
Seeing the three witches flying towards the main camp of the Heavenly Army, the Heavenly Army soldiers immediately changed the direction of their magical powers and fired at the three witches.
Dense beams of light, star rays, and lightning snakes smashed towards the three demons like hail. The Centipede Witch's body grew against the wind and soon transformed into a thousand-meter-long flying giant centipede. She turned her huge insect body over and used the thickest part of the shell on her back to meet the falling magical powers.
The giant centipede coiled in a circle seemed to have built a fortress camp in the air out of thin air, blocking the firepower of more than 200,000 soldiers of the Heavenly Army. Under such intensive and fierce attacks, the reinforced biochemical carapace could not withstand the continuous shattering, and the regeneration speed far exceeded the loss, and it could barely block the full-force concentrated firepower of the Heavenly Army soldiers.
Wen Rui slowly raised his hand and made a "stop" gesture. The very perceptive Wude Xingjun immediately shouted loudly: "The commander-in-chief has ordered, all troops to cease fire!" It's no secret that this guy has not been around Jiang Ziya in vain, and he has done a decent job of assisting the commander-in-chief.
Without uttering a word, the soldiers of the Heavenly Army followed orders, and the dense magical powers immediately disappeared without a trace, fully demonstrating the strictness of Commander Wen Rui in commanding the army.
In fact, Wen Rui did not do much to train this hastily assembled army. It was just like the Thirteenth Master taking over the Fengtai camp. All the officers and soldiers in the army were Wen's disciples and old friends. Due to his prestige, no one dared to hesitate or disobey, and they all obeyed.
After ordering the entire army to cease fire, Wen Rui left the army alone, stepped on the auspicious cloud and slowly floated towards the three witches opposite.
"Wen Tianzun, are you going to personally subdue the demon?"
Wude Xingjun said nervously: "There is a saying: A son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall. You are the commander-in-chief. You only need to select the generals to fight in the battle. Why do you have to take the risk?"
Wen Rui liked the undercover sent by the Jade Emperor more and more. He really just needed a partner who could play supporting roles. Although this kid might not have other abilities, his level of flattering and serving the leaders was quite high. No wonder Jiang Ziya could promote him from a mere woodcutter to a cosmic-level military commander.
"Well... Mr. Xing has a point, but..."
Wen Rui pretended to have listened to his advice, but frowned and said, "My father Wen Zhong has often led the troops himself. It's not that he doesn't understand that a commander should be as still as a mountain to stabilize the morale of the troops, but because his generals are really incompetent and can hardly compete with the great generals of the Zhou army."
After hearing what he said, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Twenty-eight Constellations, and the Thirty-six Thunder Generals all turned red in the face, as if they had suffered a great humiliation.
No matter how bad they are, they are still soldiers and have a sense of honor. Being belittled by the coach in front of them, even a clay man would show some earthy nature.
In those days, Wen Zhong often led the troops in battle, riding on the black unicorn and holding the wind and thunder double whips to fight against generals in front of the formation. This was because the Zhou army had a number of super-class generals such as Yang Jian, Nezha, Wei Tuo, Han Qinhu, Jin Zha, and Mu Zha, while Wen Zhong had a shortage of talented generals under his command. Every time he promoted a talented person with great difficulty, he would not last long before he unfortunately died.
After watching the video of the witch fighting with several gods, the generals of the heavenly army did feel that it was difficult to gain an advantage with their own abilities, but they could not be cowardly and push the commander to the front to fight for them.
If this gets out, how will these generals in heaven have the face to seize the throne and enjoy high positions and generous salaries?
"Wen Tianzun, don't underestimate us!"
"Commander, I will fight you. I will not return to the camp until I kill the witch!"
"Junior brother, there are nearly a thousand disciples in the Jinling Immortal Sect, and not a single one is a coward! We were brave enough to die bravely in front of the saints back then, so a mere three-headed demon is nothing to worry about."
"Be careful with your words. We are not in the sect now. We must show our military rank on the battlefield. Commander Wen, I ask to go into battle and I am willing to sign a military order."
……
The crude method of provoking someone is old-fashioned, but it is effective.
For a moment, the crowd was excited, and the generals fought bravely to be the first, and the morale was greatly boosted.
