The corpse is buried a million miles away,
War rages across the sky.
The red clouds reflect the earth,
It's hard to tell the difference between blood and rain.
The giant palm that presses down borders the heaven and the earth, covering the battlefield like purgatory, wiping out all living beings like a catastrophe from the sky.
Just when tens of thousands of soldiers in the Qing Kingdom were in despair, and hundreds of Taoist monks and charlatan warlocks were in despair, a golden light broke through the sky at the end of the Qing Kingdom's sky. In the blink of an eye, a huge palm appeared in the sky above the two armies, and the Buddha's light appeared. Flashing, he faced the giant palm pressing down in the air.
"Boom~"
Like a star exploding, the light emitted spread across the sky, making it impossible to see directly with the naked eye. The sonic boom made everyone deaf, and the air was distorted and shattered in a short time, revealing cracks in dark space and time.
Even if these two palms exploded in the air with thousands of troops from both countries, the shock wave they released still caused many people to bleed from their seven holes and their spirits were shaken.
Soldiers from both countries were affected by this. Although very few died suddenly on the spot, almost the entire army was injured by the terrifying shock wave. Even monks like Zhao Zhengli could not avoid the end of bleeding at the mouth and turbulent souls.
The Grand Master's methods shook the heaven and the earth, making it difficult for time and space to carry the great avenue. You can imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if there were land gods.
At that time, the Buddha's call came from the end: "I'm so kind to you, uncle, do you really want to expand it into a Grand Master Duel?"
The other party didn't answer.
You don't need to think carefully to know that this is Master Yuanyi, the Three Saints of Qingguo Temple.
In the past, before he became a monk, he was a ruthless person with a very murderous and violent spirit. Now that he has escaped into Buddhism, he can barely suppress it. If he is allowed to rekindle his murderous spirit, he may not be far away from becoming a demon.
His appearance also confirmed that the two saints Zhao Tianshi and Confucianism were not far apart.
The Qingguo army's morale was stable. Although their bodies were injured by the shock, the red-eyed morale outweighed the pain.
The soldiers of the two armies were like ferocious beasts, killing each other again. The level of fighting is almost crazy.
The Khitan Grand Master stretched out his palm and there was no movement, because he did not dare to bet on whether the three saints of the temple were nearby. Now he had an additional worry, taking into account the actions of the head guard of Qingcheng Mountain.
The Grand Master did not take action, and Qingguo Hedong Road advanced the battle with a subtle chance of victory.
As the night deepens, the battlefield is filled with flames and gunpowder smoke. The war situation west of the Hui River in Qing Dynasty is gradually stabilizing, while the morale of the Khitan is gradually declining.
However, Yanmen Pass on the eastern front of the Qing Dynasty was in danger, and the first general died outside the pass. Ge Hongliang, the commander of Hedong Road, urgently mobilized the entire Changning army for support.
On the night of the 27th, at half past Hai hour, Changning General Pang Luyi summoned the left and right generals, Xiao Ke, Zuo Heng, the five surviving chief commanders, and the thirteen minor commanders, to count their troops and prepare for preparation.
At the end of Haishi, Changning's army was reduced by 30%, and most of the army was cut in half. There were more than 7,000 soldiers alive, and nearly 6,000 could attack all night.
Pang Luyi eliminated the seriously wounded soldiers and divided the remaining 6,000 soldiers into two groups. Each of the left and right generals would lead one group. The two groups were further divided into six groups, dispatched by the Dadu Commandery. The six groups were divided into twelve teams, which were taken over by the Xiaodu Commandery. Hundreds of households Long auxiliary.
However, due to this division, most of them lacked one person. Pang Luyi thought for a moment and temporarily appointed Zhao Zhengli to take charge.
Zhao Zhengli was stunned for a moment. He was thinking about how to expand his team, because after a day of fighting, only four or five of his ten or so people could survive. If there was another battle, the entire capital would be completely conquered.
At that time, he was suddenly appointed out of thin air to take over the nearly 1,000-strong metropolitan team. Within two days, 500 small metropolitan commanders were upgraded to 1,000-strong metropolitan commanders, and a thousand soldiers were also deployed. How could he not be confused?
After hesitating for a moment, he decisively accepted the order. He looked back at the hundreds of soldiers in the army below, and his heart couldn't help but surge with enthusiasm.
The team of thousands of people also stared at him. The whole army knew how perverted this young man was when he was on the battlefield. His record was probably more terrifying than that of General Pang Luyi. He even witnessed the Khitan dragon being cut off with his own eyes, and he was still helpless even after being besieged by many monks. Falling to the wind.
Such a person is also the only Taoist immortal in Changning's army. How can one not admire him? In summary, his followers are as happy as if they have entered an immortal sect, which only makes the remaining thousands of soldiers envious.
On the 28th, Changning's entire army marched eastward to Daizhou and headed straight for Yanmen.
At the same time, on the Qingguo Western Front, except for the Changning Army that marched eastward to support Daizhou, the remaining seven armies were dispatched and formed a vast formation with tens of thousands of troops. The commander was the "eye" and the general was the "bone" to gather all the troops. The power turns defense into offense.
The Changning Army marched to the Huangwei Mountain area, looking at the temporarily built garrison forts, as well as the mottled battlefields for miles around, and the traces of different shades of Zhenqi damage. They were all sighing. During the boring march, the real scene was once again spread by Zhao Dutong. A battle.
However, Zhao Zhengli came up with an idea for no reason. The Gray River extends eastward to Yingzhou Jincheng in the northeast. If a team is secretly sent up the river and uses the natural barrier of the Gray River to attack Yanmen Pass inside and outside, the war situation can be reversed, or even Take advantage of the situation to recapture the lost territory of Yingzhou to the east of Hui River, so as to frighten Suzhou and Wuzhou to the west of Hui River.
Zhao Zhengli didn't know if such an idea was feasible. After all, crossing the border and going deep into the enemy's country was already full of dangers, let alone leading troops to march dozens of miles straight.
Xiao Ke, the general on the left, noticed Zhao Dutong who was in a trance, thinking that he was reminiscing about the past in an old place, recalling the great achievements in Huangwei Mountain, so he half-jokingly said: "Why, Zhao Dutong is recalling the military achievements of the past few days? "
He naturally sensed the teasing, and smiled and chatted: "I have a greater military exploit, which is enough to make the whole army famous, but I took some risks, so I had only a few moments of free time to indulge in sexual intercourse, just to amuse myself from the boredom of the march. .”
Xiao Ke tightened the reins and became interested beside him: "Oh? Come and listen, brother, I can also relieve my fatigue!"
He did not put on official airs, nor did he rank in terms of seniority, but treated him as a brother. In terms of age alone, the entire Zhao Dynasty was more than two years old. He was already over eighty-nine years old, and Zhao Dutong was less than eighteen when he was full. This place is so loud that you can call him "uncle".
Xiao Ke also has his own understanding of how to be compatible with his brother. In his opinion, there are only three types of "brothers". They have carried guns together on the battlefield, visited prostitutes together in brothels, and studied together in the same window. Now they are going to school together. On the front line, we share life and death. Young and old are all brothers of Pao Ze.
Putting all this aside, Xiao Ke's easy-going energy also piqued Zhao Zhengli's interest. Since he wanted to listen, there was no harm in talking.
So Zhao Zhengli expressed his idea, and Xiao Ke was surprisingly silent: "If we reduce the number of troops and select elite soldiers to disguise themselves and go deeper, that may not be an option, but it would be too risky!"
Zhao Zhengli nodded silently, which was also the reason for his concerns.
The two talked about the current situation between the two armies. Xiao Ke was on a mission and marched into the front army with his legs tucked under the horse's belly.
Zhao Zhengli thought that the matter would be over in this way, but unexpectedly, Xiao Ke came back again with half a stick of incense. He said with a bright smile: "Brother Zhao, General Pang has approved your plan, but you can do whatever you want among the whole army." I want to select a group of elite soldiers and let you lead the team to bypass the enemy's rear. What do you think? If it is feasible, I will take you to tell General Pang. If you are not sure, I will give you suggestions and suggestions, and the general will not blame you."
Zhao Zhengli was stunned. Unexpectedly, he told the general of the first army. What was even more surprising was that Pang Luyi actually accepted it.
You must know that Pang Luyi was single-handedly promoted by the commander-in-chief Ge Hongliang, and he was also a close confidant. The whole Hedong Road knew that he, Zhao Zhengli, was close to the deputy commander-in-chief's son Yao Hanbei.
When the former commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief were fighting for power, he, Pang Luyi, took care of Zhao Zhengli many times. Although Yao Hanbei revealed to him in advance that he had bribed General Pang, he was so blatantly partial, so he was not afraid of exposing his identity?
Regardless of the direction of the matter, resolving the war at Yanmen Pass is the common goal. Although this plan is a bit dangerous, it might as well be a strong medicine, with the tendency to take risks out of the fire.
Since Pang Luyi dared to be blatantly partial, he must have a complete explanation, and he, Zhao Zhengli, naturally had no scruples.
He just bowed his hand towards Xiao Ke, and the other party understood his intention and turned the reins to lead the way.
The mighty army was marching at night in full gear, and from a far distance they could see a fat man riding an armored horse.
The horses are tall and strong, with a veil on their head, a chicken neck hanging on their neck, a breastplate on their chest, followed by a body armor on the back, covering the whole body.
Judging from the size and the unusual green mane and tail, it is known that it is a high-quality green war horse from the north. Unfortunately, since the land of Yanyun was lost in the disputes between the Ten Kingdoms, the only horses that can be raised in the Qing Kingdom are lower-middle-class horses. First, the terrain and environment are not stable. Allowed, the purity of the second horse has declined, and the northern grassland wild horse hybrid cannot be found.
Pang Luyi has a fat body and a simple and honest appearance, but his eyes are not a simple warning.
There was another horse riding with him. The horse was inferior, but it was still a high-quality war horse. Without thinking carefully, he knew that the man was Zuo Heng, the general on the right.
The two looked back when they heard the sound, saw the two cavalry chasing after them, and stopped their march. Zhao Zhengli gave a fist-cup military salute without being humble or overbearing. The leader, Pang Luyi, smiled honestly: "Dao Dao Zhao is famous like thunder. Today I saw that the rumors are true. Yesterday, I General, I have witnessed with my own eyes your feats of slaying dragons and fighting heroes. The Changning army has the Taoist commander stationed there. It is really lucky. I, Pang Luyi, have nothing else. As long as it benefits the country and the people, I will be happy to twist off my head and use it as a wine flask! The Taoist priest is so shabby. How sure are you of the enemy's strategy?"
Naturally, he said this to outsiders, and the compliments and flattery were all to build momentum and establish his character.
How could Zhao Zhengli climb up the pole? He quickly lowered his status and said humbly: "General, I'm so flattered. I was lucky enough to learn Taoism for a few days, and I only know a little bit about it."
Then he got back to business: "Only 30% sure!"
Pang Luyi was obviously stunned, as was the left and right general Xiao Ke and Zuo Heng. They didn't expect it to be so low, and they also considered it worth a try.
Pang Luyi glanced at the mighty army at the rear who had taken a temporary rest, then raised his head to look in the direction of Yanmen Pass, and finally made a decision: "It's his uncle's fault, then let's give it a try!"
Pang Luyi ordered the entire army to rest for a quarter of an hour, allowing Zhao Zhengli to choose his own men. Except for three generals and the person involved, Zhao Dutong, the entire army was confused. Thousands of people were confused until Zhao Zhengli finished selecting, and there were less than fifty people.
This amount surprised Pang Luyi. Seeing Captain Zhao's confident look, he didn't say anything. He asked the generals on the left and right to leave the necessary supplies and start marching again. From the beginning to the end, no information was revealed.
In the dark night, Zhao Zhengli looked at the "abandoned" team in the hinterland of Huangwei Mountain and said: "Brothers Paoze, we are all shouldering a heavy responsibility at this moment, which is related to the Yanmen crisis and even affects the war situation between the two countries. Do you have the confidence to follow my mission and move forward bravely?"
