In the imperial palace, in the royal study.
Jiang Ziyu was reviewing the memorial. Jiang Xiu stood beside him and watched as Jiang Ziyu reviewed the sealed memorial. A guard in white came in and presented a secret letter.
Jiang Xiu took it and handed it to Jiang Ziyu.
When Jiang Ziyu opened the letter, his face darkened, and he said, "Continue to explore."
"yes!"
The white-clothed guard retreated.
Jiang Xiu was curious about what was written in the secret letter. Jiang Ziyu noticed his gaze and handed the secret letter to him. After he read it, his face turned pale and sweat began to form on his forehead.
His hands were trembling. He looked at Jiang Ziyu and said in a trembling voice: "Father... the Nine Dynasties are besieging Dajing. Do we really have a chance of winning?"
Jiang Ziyu said expressionlessly: "You think there is no chance of winning? If you were the emperor, what would you do now?"
Jiang Xiu was silent, he was also thinking about this issue.
Now that the Five Dynasties have besieged Dajing, they have put Dajing into trouble. If the Sifang Dynasty comes again, how can Dajing survive?
surrender?
Impossible, the dynasty will definitely fall!
If you continue to fight, it looks like you will definitely lose!
Jiang Ziyu stood up and came to the sand table, followed by Jiang Xiu.
The father and son stared at the sand table in silence.
Jiang Ziyu suddenly said: "I am going to attack the west with all my strength, what do you think?"
Jiang Xiu frowned and said, "Father, Sizhou is too close to the northern border. If we attack the west with heavy troops and the northern border is well guarded, it will be easy for the enemy to attack the capital. There are not many troops in the capital today."
Jiang Ziyu's eyes flickered and he said, "I just want them to come over."
Jiang Xiu couldn't understand and asked: "Could it be that my father wants to rely on his master? The master is powerful and a martial arts legend, but no matter how strong he is, one person cannot defeat thousands of troops."
Jiang Ziyu said calmly: "How did you know you couldn't?"
Jiang Xiu was silent.
Although he often saw Jiang Changsheng, he had never seen Jiang Changsheng take action.
The next day, the emperor issued an edict to all the people in the north to move to Sizhou and the south. In fact, even without his order, people in cities near the border were also fleeing because they were afraid of death.
The garrisons in the Outer Kyushu and Jin Dynasty territories have not yet been dispersed. Jiang Ziyu only left an opening, waiting for the enemy to penetrate deep alone and come to kill him.
…
December, early days.
The Shuzhou battlefield is close to the Chen Dynasty. The Dajing Military Camp is located on the plain. Hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed here, and their morale is low.
In the military tent, General Zhang Tianren stared at the map, frowning.
A soldier ran in, clasped his fists and said, "General, the disciples of Longqiguan are here to support you. The leader is the disciple of the God of War and Immortal Master Changsheng, named Arakawa."
Zhang Tianren suddenly raised his head and said with great joy: "Go and invite Arakawa to come."
He has always been in awe of Long Qiguan. There is also a bronze statue of Immortal Master Immortal enshrined in the mansion and he burns incense for it. He will never forget that when he was a guard of the Tianlao, the Ghost Eye Evil King killed him out of the Tianlao and was eventually killed. Immortal Master Immortal Immortal stepped down the mountain. Even though fifty-two years had passed, he still could not forget the shock of that night.
The pawn immediately went to invite Arakawa.
Zhang Tianren stood up, stroking his beard and laughing. He was suddenly full of confidence.
He is already old and has experienced dozens of wars in his life, but facing the current situation, he really has a headache.
Chen Chao mobilized all the power of the dynasty to attack Shuzhou. His army had been holding on for several months and was about to be unable to hold it anymore. However, he also understood that other battlefields were also tense and he was unable to support them. He could only grit his teeth and hold on.
Not long after, Arakawa entered the account. Zhang Tianren looked at him and praised him: "As expected of the Immortal Master's apprentice, he is truly a talented person."
Arakawa cupped his fists and said: "Junior Arakawa, I have seen General Zhang. The situation is in trouble. Naturally, Long Qiguan cannot sit idly by. I have stepped into the divine state of mind and led a hundred disciples to come to support. The worst among these disciples are first-class masters." strength, and in addition, we also bring our master’s treasures with us.”
Zhang Tianren was a little disappointed when he heard that there were only a hundred people, but when he heard the next words, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked He Baobao.
Arakawa said: "I don't know either, but my master asked me to use it on the battlefield. The next time there is a war, the general can take us with him."
At this moment, a soldier ran in, half-knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Report - a large number of cavalry are coming from ten miles away. It is difficult to judge the scale. It starts at least 50,000."
When Zhang Tianren heard this, his face turned gloomy. Fifty thousand cavalry must be the most elite army of the Chen Dynasty!
On the battlefield, cavalry is always a nightmare for ordinary soldiers!
Zhang Tianren immediately organized his army, and Arakawa was taken by his side. The horn sounded, and the soldiers resting in the barracks picked up their weapons and rushed to their respective centurion positions.
When Da Jing's 200,000 troops gathered outside the military camp, Arakawa and Zhang Tianren stood on the chariot. Looking up, they saw dust at the end of the horizon, a large number of cavalry roaring in, and the ground was shaking slightly, with a strong sense of oppression.
All the Dajing soldiers were moved, because the Chen Dynasty had far more than 50,000 cavalry!
They have experienced such a major attack more than once, and each time they suffered a disastrous defeat and the city fell. Most of Shuzhou's territory has been captured. How many times can they retreat?
Zhang Tianren's face was gloomy, and he was about to issue an order. Arakawa jumped beside him and jumped to the front of the army. He walked forward alone.
"Who is this person?"
"Looks like he's dressed like a charlatan."
"What does he want to do? Is he looking for death?"
"These martial arts people are really fooling around and always disobey military orders!"
"I have met him. He is Arakawa of Longqiguan, a master-level figure!"
"Grandmaster? Great, we have hope!"
The soldiers were talking a lot. A general wanted to stop Arakawa, but was stopped by Zhang Tianren. Zhang Tianren wanted to see Arakawa's performance. He believed that Arakawa was not acting recklessly.
Chen Chao's army advanced at full speed, getting closer and closer to the Dajing front.
The leading charging general noticed Arakawa. This man came alone and must be very powerful, but he was not a coward.
He has the power of Tongtian Realm and is one of the strongest generals in the Chen Dynasty. His confidence comes not only from his own strength, but also from the army behind him.
"My sons, kill and conquer Dajing, seize Shuzhou, and create eternal achievements for Dachen!"
The charging general raised his iron spear high and roared, like a lion roaring. He heard the cavalry behind him roaring, and the voices gathered together, making it loud and shocking.
A famous disciple of Ryūkikan ran out of the line and quickly came to Arakawa. They were extremely nervous, but if they dared to go down the mountain, they were prepared to die in battle.
Arakawa took out his bag of tips, and other disciples followed suit.
"Master, don't trick your disciple."
Arakawa thought silently, and while the opponent was still some distance away, he took out a handful of beans from his bag and threw them on the ground in front of him.
If that doesn't work, they might as well retreat in time to avoid losing their lives.
Other disciples followed suit, and each spiritual bean fell to the ground, quickly grew in size, and transformed into a human form. The body shape was exactly the same as Jiang Changsheng's. The whole body was emerald green, as if carved from jade. His true appearance could not be seen clearly. In an instant, there were nearly ten thousand spiritual soldiers. Appearing on the battlefield, this scene caused an uproar in the whole scene.
The charging army of the Chen Dynasty was also frightened, but the charging general did not dare to rein in his horse and stop. Once he stopped, the cavalry behind him would continue to charge, which would easily cause crushing and trampling, so he could only charge bravely.
"Oh my God! What is that?"
"Is Longqiguan really a martial arts sect?"
"Did I read that correctly? What did they sprinkle to make so many beauties appear?"
"It is definitely the magic of Immortal Master Immortal. As I said before, Immortal Immortal Immortal is not a warrior, but a human immortal!"
"We have hope?"
The soldiers in Da Jing were excited. The scene of spreading beans and forming soldiers was so shocking to them that Zhang Tianren was so excited that his whole body trembled. Is this the ability of the Immortal Master?
The disciples of Longqiguan were also shocked by the scene in front of them. Including Arakawa, they did not encounter enemies on the road, so they did not dare to use it rashly. They thought it was a treasure like a talisman that could display some kind of unique skill. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a soldier.
Even if they come from Longqi Temple, they cannot understand this scene.
"Keep an eye on the enemy and don't get distracted!"
Arakawa shouted loudly, now is not the time to be shocked, kill the enemy first.
Hearing this, all the disciples stared closely at Chen Chao's cavalry army. Nearly 10,000 spiritual soldiers immediately rushed forward, like a green torrent, which was extremely spectacular. They all raised their right hands and condensed the shadow of a sword.
The two armies collided with each other. Although the spiritual soldiers only had a trace of Jiang Changsheng's spiritual power, they were still unmatched by ordinary soldiers. They rushed into the enemy's army and were as agile as swallows. They quickly swung their swords and chopped off the soldiers one by one. In an instant, a large number of cavalry fell from their horses and the plains were stained with blood.
The charging general picked up a spirit soldier with one shot, but the spirit soldier was not afraid of the pain and actually threw the sword shadow in his hand at him. He was so shocked that he ducked sideways, but the cavalry behind him was pierced by the sword shadow and flew off his horse. .
"Damn it!"
The charging general roared angrily, and his true energy exploded along the iron spear, scattering the spirit soldiers.
Spirit soldiers are not opponents of Tongtian realm yet.
However, not everyone in the Chen Dynasty's cavalry army was a genius. The spirit soldiers were like tigers entering the flock of sheep and massacring them. This scene made Arakawa and others extremely excited, and the Dajing soldiers were dumbfounded.
Zhang Tianren raised his halberd high and roared: "The whole army attacks!"
Da Jing Cavalry takes the lead in charging!
This time, Da Jing's morale is far higher than before, and he has the courage to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger!
The war has officially begun!
…
In early January of the seventeenth year of Qianwu's reign, a piece of good news spread across the country.
The Shuzhou army defeated the Chen Dynasty army one after another and set off a counterattack. The victory was exciting, but something happened on the battlefield that caused an uproar in the world.
The disciples of Longqiguan spread the beans and became an army, turning the tide!
The first reaction of many people after hearing this was disbelief, but this matter spread very quickly because Longqiguan disciples not only spread beans to form an army in one battle, but also did so in several consecutive battles. Every time they spread beans to form an army, they were able to defeat the enemy. Most of the troops were slaughtered, and the Chen Dynasty was even more frightened by the news, and the battle line continued to retreat.
In the Jinluan Palace.
"Hahahaha! Such a person who spreads the beans and becomes an enemy, Chen Chao will definitely be frightened to death!"
Jiang Ziyu laughed loudly. He was extremely excited regardless of the emperor's majesty.
The ministers were also very excited, but more in disbelief.
Han Tianji couldn't understand it.
Spread the beans and become an army?
That’s ridiculous!
Isn't it an illusion?
No, if it is an illusion and the battlefield is chaotic, the enemy will definitely see through it.
Jiang Changsheng's image in Han Tianji's heart began to rise and became extremely mysterious. He was full of curiosity. Who is Jiang Changsheng? Is he an expert in the Xiansheng Cave?
But in Xian Sheng Cave, he had never heard of the martial arts of spreading beans into soldiers.
Is this really fucking martial arts?
