Jin army, rear army, in the sky.
The sun has almost set on the mountain, and only a ray of sunset is still playing its remaining light in the sky, allowing the dim twilight to remain on this piece of land. On this battlefield, inside and outside the second fence, more than a hundred people The space of more than 300 steps, the front of which is more than 300 steps wide, is already a sea of fire. The soaring flames are shining on more than a hundred Kongming lanterns in the sky. At this time, they are about ten feet above the ground, facing the Jin military camp in the distance. Floating away within the village.
On an inconspicuous Kongming Lantern in the middle, Brother Da Niu was smiling and looking at the sea of fire behind him. Although at this time, they were getting further and further away from the sea of fire, until they were about a hundred steps away. , approaching the fence line of the Jin army, and on this fence line, the seemingly indestructible shield array had been scattered all over the place. It was knocked down by the Jin army who were originally in formation in their hasty retreat.
From time to time, there would be defeated Jin troops evacuating from the front. These Jin troops, who were all charred and seriously injured, supported each other, abandoned their helmets and armor, and moved backward with difficulty. This could no longer be a show to lure the enemy. The shields scattered on the ground were knocked down by the defeated soldiers. Some sergeants even didn't even care about running for their lives when they saw the sky lanterns. They pointed at the sky lanterns, waved their weapons, and cursed, It seems that they want to have the courage to come down and decide the winner.
Brother Da Niu laughed loudly and said: "Jin dogs, you too have today, and you have finally tasted the feeling of not being able to fight or die. However, grandpa has no time to take the lives of you dogs now. Next, I will go Kill Tan Daoji. If you are smart, don’t stay on the battlefield now and run away for your lives. Otherwise, grandpa will take care of Tan Daoji later and kill you all, leaving no one behind!"
Brother Da Niu's words caused everyone in the surrounding hanging baskets to burst into laughter. It was rare for these disciples of Tianshi Dao to be so cheerful. They floated in the air and killed thousands of ants like ants. The Jin army was drowned in the sea of fire, and they were so happy that many people kept holding the jars of kerosene in their hands and refused to put them down. Some people even thought that they were filled with fine wine, and they wished they could drink a few jars now. Only when you are drunk can you rest.
A Tianshi Dao disciple in his twenties with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, with a flattering smile on his face, said: "Brother Da Niu is extremely powerful. I think that Tan Daoji should have been scared out of his wits and ran for his life. The men in front don't care about rescuing them. Why don't we wipe out all the Jin troops who escaped and don't give them a chance to reorganize and escape. The main force of the Jin army's rear army should be all here. Even if Tan Daoji escapes, , he will also die tonight."
Another Taoist in his thirties with a white face and a long beard shook his head and said: "Junior Brother Monkey, don't be too optimistic. The Jin army's reorganization and counterattack capabilities are very strong. Although we succeeded temporarily, as long as Tan Daoji is still alive, , there is still the possibility of reorganization, just like the previous battle in the front army, the Jin army also collapsed for a time, and finally Tan Zhi cleaned up the mess and stabilized the situation. We cannot give Tan Daoji this opportunity again."
The Tianshi Dao disciple named Monkey choked and his face turned red, and he said in a deep voice: "Then what is Senior Brother Xuanshi's advice? Do you know where Tan Daoji is hiding now?"
Taoist Xuanshi calmly pointed forward: "Right there, where the three red flame flags are erected, is Tan Daoji's general platform. Now all the evacuated Jin troops are gathering there. Look, there are already people here. There are thousands of Jin troops, and the guy wearing the general's robe and armor who has just stepped onto the general stage must be Tan Daoji!"
Daoist Brother Da Niu's expression changed, and he looked at the location of the three red flame flags. He saw Jin troops from all directions, whether they were broken troops or wounded soldiers in front, whether they were auxiliary soldiers or civilians, they were all rushing towards here. Under the general platform, surrounded by people, it seemed that they were reorganizing, and a tall general in full armor was holding a command flag and waving it on the stage. Behind him, the messengers were quickly using drums and horns. After passing the order, the sergeants in the audience were also quickly regrouping.
Junior Brother Monkey said a little unconvinced: "Although this person is wearing a general's armor, he may be just a puppet. Tan Daoji is not stupid. At this time, he is in such an obvious position. I'm afraid there is a deception in it, just to lure us." Attack."
Taoist Xuanshi shook his head: "In normal times, puppets may be used to pretend to be generals, but when the army is defeated like a mountain, the general must pick up the remaining soldiers and stabilize the front. Otherwise, before he deceives us, he must They will deceive their own people first. If these defeated soldiers find out that this is an impostor here to show off, they may mutiny on the spot, and how can a puppet give the correct order at such a critical moment?"
Daoist Brother Da Niu nodded: "Junior Brother Xuanshi said it right. When the army is defeated like this, puppets cannot be used. The puppets can only act as show-offs at best, and cannot really have the ability to command. If anyone can To command smoothly when the army is defeated, what else does Tan Daoji need to do? I also believe that the person on the general stage at this time is Tan Daoji himself. In order to clean up the mess and gather the defeated troops to resist again, he had to take this risk .”
Having said this, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Instruct me to send all the Kongming lanterns to the general platform where the enemy's three red flame flags are located, and prepare to attack with fire to continue to destroy these Jin army remnants. Don’t give them a chance to reorganize!”
Junior Brother Monkey said quickly: "Brother Daniel, please be careful. Tan Daoji dares to clean up the remaining soldiers at this time, and openly flaunts his flag, which is tantamount to revealing his position to us. He may also have some crossbows, or even rockets and other weapons, leaving Near the general platform, we are preparing to turn defeat into victory and shoot our Kongming Lantern."
Daoist Brother Danniu's expression changed and he looked at Taoist Xuanshi: "Junior Brother Xuanshi, what do you think?"
Taoist Xuanshi nodded thoughtfully: "Junior Brother Monkey's worry is justified. This possibility cannot be ruled out. Of course, maybe he doesn't have any countermeasures, otherwise he should have used them in the previous battles, purely for the sake of grabbing Time, and I was forced to put up a flag. I wanted to gather as many broken troops as possible before we arrived and retreat to the next position. Therefore, I think we must be on guard, but we cannot not go just because we are on guard against the enemy. Attack the enemy's general tower."
Brother Da Niu nodded: "Then what good ideas do you have?"
Taoist Xuanshi smiled slightly: "First send three to five Kongming lanterns to attack with fire, just to test it out!"
