Taihejiang.
The Japanese and the coalition forces faced each other across the water. It was freezing cold at the moment, and a layer of ice that could not be broken down had formed on both sides. Only a small area in the middle had not been completely frozen because the water flow was too fast.
In order to set an example for his subordinates, Hachisuka Kasei immediately drove his horse to jump in. The generals were inspired and followed him one after another.
General Toudo Takatora's son, Toudo Takara, was greatly encouraged when he saw how brave his predecessors were, and followed him brandishing a spear.
Many of the younger generation, who are not superstitious about the red lotus karma fire and the terror of Lu Li, are eager to break the myth of the Ming army and win the favor of the Tai Pavilion.
At this point, the two armies officially clashed.
When Yang Hao heard that the Japanese vanguard had reached the front of the battle, his expression changed drastically. Because of his deliberate delay, the condition of the ordinary soldiers was affected, and their combat strength was reduced by more than 20%.
the other side.
The common nightmare in the eyes of soldiers from the Three Kingdoms:
Island mountain city.
Kato Kiyomasa didn't know how many allies had come and where exactly they had arrived, because various strange phenomena were obscured, but judging from the performance of the Ming army, as long as they survived the disaster before them, there would be no danger -
The weather was cold and freezing, and the Ming army was unable to organize a second wave of counterattack. They could only wait for spring, and by that time, the 100,000 allied troops from Kanto arrived.
With nearly 200,000 warriors united in one place, the formation far surpassed that of the war in the Renchen year. Whether they continued to intensify their efforts to invade the north or encroached a little bit, they could be very calm.
As for Lu Li, he also had to kill Kato Kiyomasa as soon as possible, otherwise, Yang Hao would stage the scene in history:
A commander in charge of an army of 50,000 people actually ran away alone before the retreat was completed? !
Thanks to this strategic envoy, who was listed as one of the most shameful generals of the Ming Dynasty, the most ugliest and most deplorable scene occurred in the entire war to aid Korea.
Affected by the emotion, the various units that could have retreated calmly immediately became chaotic and abandoned their equipment, fearing that they would be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army if they left too late.
From an orderly retreat, it turned into a mass rout.
Therefore……
Lu Li's attack was a killer move.
Zhu Yan, with three heads and six arms, stood tall on the sky and the earth. The black-maned horse and the bull demon also used similar methods to enlarge their bodies and increase their strength to the maximum.
When Kato saw this, he didn't waste any time. This time he didn't bring any personal guards, let alone the family banner, and directly took out the relics presented by Taiko.
This is a Buddhist treasure taken urgently from the mainland.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty monk Jianzhen secretly traveled eastward despite the opposition of the imperial court. He not only brought Buddhist scriptures, but also various prescriptions (translated "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" into Japanese and taught it to the Japanese), Wang Xizhi's authentic Mangluantie, and Wang Xianzhi's authentic works. Nearly fifty sets of calligraphy treasures from various famous calligraphers, as well as three thousand relics of the Buddha's true body.
Especially for the latter, the Japanese specially built Zhaoti Temple and enshrined all the real body relics in the pagoda.
Now, during the invasion, in order to resist the red lotus fire, three thousand Buddha relics were brought out. Isn't Jianzhen siding with the enemy?
【Namu Myoho Renge Sutra】
Three thousand relics floated in the air and glowed together, making the place particularly brilliant.
Under the illumination, the words on the military flag burst out with bright Buddha light, and a golden body of Buddha sat in the void.
Last time it was Avalokitesvara, this time it was Tathagata Buddha.
Going back further, Lu Li once saw the thousand-year-old centipede spirit Pudu Cihang condensed into this form.
Maybe in the future we can still see rats in the gutter using Buddhist magical powers, right?
"Namo Amitabha!"
The sound is majestic and compassionate, like morning bells and evening drums, accompanied by flashes of Buddha light that are almost solidified.
He has a tall body, a plump face and a broad nose, with his right shoulder exposed.
"Buddha...Buddha...Ancestor?"
The surrounding soldiers of the Ming, Dynasty, and Japanese countries recognized him at a glance. After all, Buddha statues can be seen in the temples of their respective countries.
Bathed in the Buddha's light, the bodies of the warriors who were exhausted by hunger quickly recovered. The generals of the Ming and Dynasty trembled with fright. The generals cursed in their hearts that the old bald donkey was blind and helped the executioner and the invader!
As a person involved, Lu Li guessed the origin of this object, and he complained a little bit about the old monk Jianzhen. The court banned the teaching of Dharma, and as a result, this guy smuggled across the country.
I smuggled in several times!
Not only that, if it is really just about teaching people to be good, that's it, and they also bring countless national treasures with them.
Nowadays, the Japanese use the relics he sent back then to deal with the Ming Dynasty soldiers. I wonder if the old monk Quanxia Youzhi will repent.
"Tathagata Buddha!"
The means used to conceal the secret were knocked away by the aura emitted by the golden body.
On the riverside, all the Japanese warriors' eyes were wide open, and their expressions of disbelief were palpable. Some guys who believed in the Nichiren sect knelt down on the ground and shouted piously:
"Meet the Buddha!"
Then, with the heart of victory, he attacked the Ming army.
In the past, when two armies of the Japanese army besieged Nanyuan, they dragged Buddhist statues from nearby temples and demonstrated around the city, which had a great impact on the morale of the defenders.
Only then did Lu Li take the initiative to go out of the city to rob, and took advantage of the situation to attack and kill Tachibana Muneshige.
Of course, these are all old things.
How to restore low morale is also something that all department leaders should think about.
At this moment.
Lu Li, who transformed into Zhu Yan, was launching an attack on the golden body with the cooperation of the black-maned horse and the bull demon.
"Namo Amitabha!"
The name of the Buddha remains the same.
The Tathagata's golden body looked neither happy nor sad, sitting cross-legged in the void, with streaks of Buddha light rising all over his body, forming a halo similar to sunlight.
At the same time, the Sanskrit sounds sounded.
clang! Clang!
The golden sound resounded throughout the world.
Looking at the motionless golden body, Lu Li said in a deep voice: "You two go and fight on the side. Lead the demon camp and help the other three sects seize the city from the inside. You can act according to the situation."
I had previously discussed with the black-maned horse what it would do if he died in battle here.
This shows that Lu Li already has the idea of dying together.
After all, apart from the Imperial Sword, the Red Lotus Industry Fire, and the Peach Blossom Sword given by Chun Sansanniang, which cannot be lost, whether the rest can be recovered is not crucial——
Whether the mount dies in battle, or whether it lasts until the end of the exam, it can return no matter what the outcome is, so there is no need to worry too much.
"good."
The Bull Demon has a very low presence because it talks little, but it still does a lot of things and can carry a lot of weight on its shoulders, so it doesn't say much at this moment.
However, it wanted to leave, but Kato, who merged with the relic and became the Buddha, refused. The golden body emitted an increasingly intense Buddha light, making people become calm, as if they had forgotten everything.
The bull demon and the black-maned horse frowned together, and with a flash of demonic power, they quickly isolated the Buddha's light and the faintly audible Sanskrit sound.
The soldiers not far away, even the Japanese warriors, were enveloped by this thing and were immediately transformed. Their faces showed a strange look of enlightenment, and they all put down the butcher knives in their hands.
"You guys leave quickly!"
Lu Li's tone was serious.
The horse and the ox didn't hesitate anymore and left here immediately, convinced that their master could win the final victory.
In fact, looking at his own samurai being transformed in the distance, Kato felt unhappy. He could not completely control the relics and actually interfered with his own people indiscriminately.
After laying down the butcher's knife, what use does the family have for them?
On the opposite side, Lu Li didn't say any harsh words. Zhu Yanshen let out a fierce roar and used the magical power of Law, Heaven, Elephant and Earth for the second time, transforming into a terrifying ape-like creature, and the Six Divine Soldiers burst out with bright light.
This is not the first time they have fought. The two are very familiar with each other's methods and trump cards. When the six divine soldiers are activated with great force, the crisis is terrifying, but it is not fatal.
At this level of fighting, it is a three-axe competition to see who has the strongest trump card.
On Lu Li's side were the Ziwei Emperor Sword and the Red Lotus Industry Fire.
Kato Kiyomasa is the relic of three thousand Buddhas.
After changing into a turtle shell, it was obviously difficult for Lu Li to break it into pieces and burn it with karma fire.
But I have to give it a try after all!
After a brief dispute over two moves, the two most powerful generals from their respective camps started to unleash real fire and reckless attacks, and the noise became more and more exaggerated.
Yang Hao, who was supervising the battle outside the city, was so anxious that he wanted to kill Kato immediately.
However, due to lack of strength, even with the protection of Ming Dynasty's luck, it is still difficult to participate in this level of battle.
boom!
The light of the Six Divine Weapons overshadowed the sunlight, and at the same time covered up the traces of the killer moves.
All he saw was ordinary, apart from its own lines, there was only an imperial sword decorated with a red lotus flying out, thrust straight into the forehead of the Buddha's golden body.
A relic shattered into pieces.
Kato thought to himself that it was true, and used other true Buddha relics to try to repair and stabilize the center of the eyebrows, because the number three thousand is very special, and even if one is missing, the power will be greatly reduced.
The three thousand relics were originally one body. The relics that were on the verge of breaking under the sword began to stop collapsing. They seemed to be broken but not broken, and could still play a role.
Even though one hit failed, Lu Li was not discouraged. He still connected with the Emperor Sword's mind and controlled him to attack, obviously using time to completely destroy it.
During this process, Kato Kiyomasa was not without the power to fight back. The golden body was already exaggerated, and with the resulting phantom, it could even overwhelm Lu Li, and his palms shot out from time to time.
To be honest, Lu Li was really worried that the Buddha would turn his five fingers into five connected mountains of gold, wood, water, fire and earth to suppress the giant ape-shaped Zhu Yanshen.
But the truth is not that bad. Kato's use of this golden body is not proficient, and can even be described as superficial.
This is something to be thankful for!
Because Lu Li was hit by this palm that seemed to be knocked down from the void. It was no longer as simple as being hit by a mountain. Instead, an entire continent came from above, and there were countless Buddha lights flashing on it.
In the eyes of onlookers, every texture in this palm that fell from the sky is like a hill, and the mountains are formed when they are connected together.
Every time the golden palm slapped Lu Li, terrifying waves would burst out, creating a violent wind.
The military commanders found it difficult to understand this kind of power, while the military Taoists secretly smacked their lips. It was not that they did not know the art of transformation, but being able to transform themselves into the strange beasts recorded in the "Book of Mountains and Seas" and to do so to such an extent was beyond comprehension.
Under the impact of the waves of destruction, Daoshan City began to shake violently. Even if the priests strengthened the earth's veins in advance, it was still unsustainable.
With a "bang", Zhu Yanshen's feet were directly knocked into the rock formations, and the mountains shook for hundreds of miles. In the previous battle, the ground, which was already covered with gravel, still failed to hold on. Completely powdered, like fine yellow sand.
The river water not far away flowed directly along the underground passage, and Daoshan City began to be swallowed up by the cold and biting undercurrent. The waves surged like a vast ocean, crashing in all directions.
Under such hasty changes, a large number of soldiers who were fighting or had ulterior motives were mercilessly devoured. Whether they lived or died, it was left to fate.
Seeing this situation, the generals who participated in the siege fought hard and pushed their combat power to the extreme. They struggled to support their positions and protect their soldiers.
The coalition forces still fought desperately to attack the city.
Naturally, the Japanese would not kill them at the slightest sign.
Under the strong stimulation, the fighting became more intense. The movement may not be as loud as before, but the eyes and murderous intentions are stronger than ever.
Shimayama Castle, Kato, and Nabeshima were the main targets that the Japanese army went to great lengths to rescue.
Once captured, morale will definitely be boosted.
pity……
Looking left and right, Yang Hao made a so-called decision when he saw that Lu Li failed to create a miracle.
They took the lead and fled towards Gyeongju. Behind them, the group of generals from the Li Dynasty either had no choice but to follow them closely, and then came the personal troops.
The troops on the island mountain were abandoned.
The same is true for the ministries that hold on to other areas.
Where was his determination to ride into Seoul alone?
What about reprimanding the domineering King of Joseon, Lee Ho?
Fortunately, Li Rumei did not faint and led his men to continue the attack on the city. He himself even directly faced Nabeshima Naoshige.
Ma Gui, who originally had little sense of presence, also stood up. He first stabilized the Northwest Army under his command, and then discussed with the generals of the Southern Army——
You can retreat, but you can't retreat.
In addition, everything must wait until the dust settles over Dooshan Castle, and then fight and retreat to maintain the dignity of the Tomorrow Army. The entire organization must not be allowed to collapse, let alone be pursued by the Japanese to encourage their arrogance.
As for the Li Dynasty troops who assisted in the defense, they were suppressed with bloody force by the Ming Dynasty generals as soon as they thought carefully.
Of course, this is the big picture.
Yang Hao, the backbone, fled for his life, but still took away nearly three thousand elites.
Among them were the Liaodong Army, a small number of the Northwest Army, and some soldiers from the Guards Battalion.
The reason for this was partly because he had sent Chen Yuwen and Yang Wanjin from the escort camp to Daoshan to help out, but they suffered heavy casualties in the end.
It was Yang Hao who was fighting.
It was Yang Hao who ordered the desperate charge to attack the city.
It was Yang Hao who escaped at the critical moment!
One general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted!
However, Lu Li didn't care about this. Under the suppression of the Buddha's palm, his body suddenly dwarfed and his legs could no longer support him. With a bang, he half-knelt on the battlefield filled with river water.
top of head.
The Buddha's golden body is densely packed, like almost broken porcelain.
This was the result of hard work. Except for the large number of gaps in the Peach Blossom Sword, the rest of the Six Divine Soldiers were all shattered, even the iron horse halberd he brought from the Three Kingdoms world was no exception.
Moreover, it was Lu Li who took the initiative to detonate it, just to speed up the speed at which the relics were destroyed.
Only the Emperor Ziwei Sword was still intact, with its sharp edge clearly visible. After being knocked away by the Buddha's light, it stabbed straight through without knowing how many times it took.
Sensing that danger was approaching and the breath of death enveloped him, Kato decided to retaliate in the same way.
He didn't recite any desperate poem. As soon as the thought came to his mind, he immediately caused the three thousand broken relics with only a little power to self-destruct.
The last person who came to mind was:
His lifelong enemy is Yukinaga Konishi.
