The hawks screamed and circled around Cuiping Mountain, screaming in the air.
A unique whistle broke the tranquility of Cuiping Mountain. The hawks hovering in the sky seemed to hear the inexplicable call, flapped their wings and flew down to the foot of Cuiping Mountain, as fast as if they saw food.
A black robe covers the whole body, and even the face is covered by a black scarf. If Mr. Liu saw it, he would definitely laugh. Are you afraid that others will not know that you are a bad guy? He looked like a shameless villain, or he looked unworthy of human beings and didn't dare to show his true colors to others.
After seeing the man in black, the falcon flapped its wings and landed on the shoulder of the man in black. He didn't know how the falcon could identify the man in black, and knew that he was the person he was looking for. He was so strange that he brought it with him. Does it have radar recognition function?
The man in black caressed the falcon's feathers, took out a bamboo tube with a note from the falcon's feet and couldn't wait to open it to read. Generally, carrier pigeons are used to deliver messages, and those who can use falcons are always urgent. Intelligence, as expected, the man in black could not help but tremble when he saw the contents on the note.
"White peony root."
A woman in white suddenly appeared behind the man in black. If Mr. Liu were here, he would definitely recognize that this woman was Bai Shao, the sword-wielding maid of the White Lotus Sect who was severely injured by the Qi Yun Snow Sword outside Yangzhou City that day when she tried to kidnap him. : "Master, my servant is here."
"Emergencyly gather all the people in the sect and evacuate out of Cuiping Mountain. The imperial court sent the Protector of the Country Zhang Kuang with five thousand troops to kill my descendants of the White Lotus sect. Zhang Kuang is a great killer. Once a place is surrounded by his troops, , our White Lotus Sect will all die without a burial place today."
"Follow the order."
Bai Shao rushed towards the hundreds of thatched houses at the foot of Cuiping Mountain, holding a wooden whistle in his hand and blowing a sharp whistle.
A woman in white clothes suddenly appeared next to Bai Shao, like a ghost, silently: "Girl Bai Shao, why did you blow the warning whistle?"
Bai Shao looked respectfully at the woman who suddenly appeared and bowed respectfully: "Ninth Elder, under the order of the leader, all disciples of the White Lotus Sect headquarters are evacuating Cuiping Mountain. The imperial court has sent five thousand troops to encircle and suppress the headquarters without delay."
"Why is the leader of the Five Thousand Soldiers and Horses so panicked that he ordered us all to evacuate Cuiping Mountain? Suzhou garrison? Yangzhou garrison? Jinling garrison?"
"Ninth Elder, the leader said they are soldiers and horses led by Zhang Kuang, the Protector of the Country."
There was a trace of panic in the Ninth Elder's tone: "The Protector of the Country is arrogant? The Long Wuwei guarding the northern border?"
"My little maid doesn't know."
"Go and inform the others."
For about a quarter of an hour, there were two to three thousand people in ordinary clothes standing on the open ground at the foot of Cuiping Mountain. They all looked at each other with confused faces. Nothing happened. Why did the sound of a warning sentry suddenly come out.
"Brothers?" The man in black suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and his neutral voice came to everyone's ears like a loudspeaker, interrupting the discussion.
The Ninth Elder and four people of about the same grade stood in the front row: "Our Lady of White Lotus, her power is boundless. Please refer to the leader."
He waved his hand to signal everyone to stop: "Brothers, stop talking. Now the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect has been discovered by the imperial spies, and five thousand troops and horses have been sent to encircle and suppress the brothers in our sect. The situation is extremely urgent. Before the officers and soldiers arrive, brother We quickly packed up our belongings and entered Cuiping Mountain to take shelter, and went to Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Jinling and other branches in batches. When the time comes, we will settle down and wait for unified orders. We are reuniting the majesty of Our Lady of the White Lotus."
"Master, we brothers are unwilling to leave. We have finally settled down in Cuiping Mountain. We don't want to be displaced again. Aren't we just the hawks and dogs of the five thousand imperial court? The brothers in our sect are all heroes worth ten, and we will definitely be able to defeat them. These hawks and dogs were killed and their armor was thrown away."
"Yes, we won't leave. Last time, the more than 7,000 garrison troops in Suzhou City heard about the name of our White Lotus Sect and cowered at the gates of Suzhou City without daring to come out. This time, only 5,000 eagle dogs killed them to pay homage to Our Lady of the White Lotus. .”
"Kill the eagle and dog and sacrifice to the Holy Mother."
"Our Lady of White Lotus, her power is boundless."
"If we fight with these hawks and dogs, at worst, we will be a good man again in eighteen years. Since the court won't give us a way to survive, it's just the opposite."
"I beg the leader of the cult to give an order. We, the brothers in the cult, are willing to defend our homeland to the death."
The man in black was a little anxious: "Brothers, if we, the White Lotus Sect, want to develop and grow, we cannot confront the imperial court head-on. We must accumulate strength. When we become stronger, we can overthrow the rule of the Hunjun in one fell swoop. We must retreat strategically now, not to mention the five thousand people this time. The army and horses are not those useless garrison troops, but Long Wuwei, an army that has fought hundreds of battles to guard the northern border. We really can't take any advantage in the fight."
"Ninth Elder Murong Shan obeys the order."
"My subordinate is here, please give orders from the leader."
"Lead the brothers of your Xingzi Department into the mountains from the east of Cuiping Mountain and then disperse into the Jinling branch to wait for orders."
"Leader!"
"Those who violate the order will be dealt with according to the canon."
"Subordinates obey orders."
"The third elder Tao De and the fifth elder Zhang Long led the brothers from the Douzi Department and the brothers from the Jiuzi Department respectively to disperse into Yangzhou City and hide."
"Subordinates obey orders."
"Seventh Elder Xiao Naihe led the brothers from the Lizi Department into Suzhou City to hide and wait for orders."
"Subordinates obey orders."
"Be prepared to retreat, don't let the officers and soldiers catch the tail."
However, life is likely to be unsatisfactory. The members of the White Lotus Sect were just about to leave when a slight vibration came from the foot of Cuiping Mountain. The movement became louder and louder. This was a feeling of shock that could only be brought by thousands of troops. The officers and soldiers arrived.
Was Long Wuwei's march so expensive and fast?
"Brothers, retreat quickly. Spread out and break out of the encirclement. Don't let the officers and soldiers make dumplings out of you. retreat quickly."
The members of the White Lotus sect held the weapons in their hands and prepared to fight out. There were sounds of horse hooves and neighing all around the valley, which instantly disturbed the minds of the members of the White Lotus sect.
"Brothers, rush. If you don't rush, you will die sooner or later. Fight them."
Long Wuwei's light cavalry began to harass the White Lotus sect members. The mob was not just talking. The light cavalry had not made two rounds, and the White Lotus sect members were already in disarray. They did not have the courage to fight to the death with the imperial eagle dogs. They found that these cavalry were fast and fast, which could not be compared with those of the garrison. Although a thousand light cavalry only surrounded everyone and did not kill anyone, the shining sabers under the refraction of the sun had already made these believers uneasy. stand up.
A sharp whistle came, and the voice of the White Lotus leader came: "Brothers, kill them."
Zhang Kuang, the Protector of the Country, rode on the treasure horse and raised his whip: "Vice General Sha, please pass on the order. The light cavalry will lead Xiong Kaishan to attack freely and block all the trails into Cuiping Mountain to prevent these bandits from escaping into the mountains and forests. The heavy cavalry will command Huo Buyan set up a charging formation and defeated the White Lotus Sect rebels' defense in one fell swoop."
"It's an order."
"Vice General Zhong."
"The end will be here."
"The archers were ordered to cooperate with Huo Buyan's charge, and they fired five consecutive rounds of covering arrows, leaving no gaps in the air, blocking all exits from the valley."
"It's an order."
"Ke Yan, commander of the spear and halberd."
"The end will be here."
"After Huo Buyan led the charge, a group of ten spearmen and halberdiers worked together to kill the bandits."
"It's an order."
