Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 783 The first confrontation
On this day, he also led the army to the outside of Xuanfu City. The Ming army in the city had already set up a battle posture on the city wall.The north wind blew hard, and the flags of both sides fluttered with the wind, making a sound of hunting.

Seeing the firearms on the city wall, he didn't dare to act rashly, and called a general to come forward and shout.

The general shouted arrogantly: "Listen, people in the city, your Long Live Lord has been captured by us, if you want to save your Long Live Lord's life, open the city gate quickly."

The chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion is a veteran named Yang Hong. This person is known as the number one wise general in the orthodox years and is good at defending the city. But at this moment, he did not appear on the city wall. A man named Luo Heng came out to replace him. , Luo Heng is a governor.

Hearing the shouting from the city, Luo Heng took a sword and stood on the top of the city, staring coldly at the Oirat army.

"Nonsense, Your Majesty is blessed by the gods, how could he be captured by your Oala? Stop talking nonsense, if you have the courage, just attack the city and see who is stronger."

The general didn't expect that Luo Heng would be more arrogant than him, and said angrily: "Who are you?"

Luo Heng said: "Listen well, I am Luo Heng."

The general was startled, and said, "Aren't you Yang Hong?"

Luo Heng sneered: "What are you, worthy of talking to General Yang?"

The general was so angry that he said, "Luo Heng, quickly ask Yang Hong to come out."

Luo Heng snorted, and said: "I have already said, if you want to fight, just come and attack the city."

Hearing this first, his face turned cold, and he shouted: "Luo Heng, my grand master is here, quickly ask Yang Hong to come out and see me."

Luo Heng smiled "haha" and said: "First of all, you came at a really bad time, General Yang has gone elsewhere."

Also startled for a moment, he asked, "Where did he go?"

Luo Heng said: "No comment."

Zhou Fengzong stepped forward immediately, and said in a low voice: "Brother, it is impossible for Yang Hong to leave his post without authorization. He must be in the city."

Ye Xian frowned and said: "If he is in the city, why doesn't he come out to see me?"

Zhou Fengdao: "Brother, this is exactly where Yang Hong is cunning. The Xuan Mansion is headed by him, and he let Luo Heng come out, obviously deliberately avoiding it. Although Luo Heng knows that Zhu Qizhen is in our hands, he can pretend not to Know."

He also asked first, "Then what should we do?"

Zhou Feng said: "Brother, have you forgotten that among the Ming soldiers we captured, there was a man named Yuan Bin, who was the captain of Jinyiwei, and letting him speak out must be more effective than our own people. "

He also nodded first, and ordered someone to bring Yuan Bin up.Yuan Bin was accompanying Zhu Qizhen, when suddenly several Mongolian warriors came up and arrested him, and took him to the front of the army, trembling, not knowing what to do with him first.

Seeing that he was tied up, Zhou Feng frowned, scolded several Mongolian warriors, jumped off his horse, and untied Yuan Bin himself.

"Lieutenant Yuan, I surprised you."

"No...it's okay..."

"Lieutenant Yuan, you should know where this place is, right?"

Yuan Bin looked up at the city wall of Xuan Mansion, and said, "This is Xuan Mansion."

Zhou Feng laughed and said, "I don't think Captain Yuan will disregard the life and death of His Majesty, will he?"

After Yuan Bin heard this, he hurriedly said: "As long as you don't kill Your Majesty, I will listen to you in anything, even if it means taking Yuan Bin's life."

Zhou Fengdao: "Lieutenant Yuan is so loyal to the Lord, it is really rare. If you open the gate of Xuanfu for us, I guarantee that your Majesty will be safe and sound."

Yuan Bin broke out in a cold sweat, and said, "This..."

Zhou Feng said: "Lieutenant Yuan, we won't force you, you can figure it out." After speaking, he jumped back on the horse and talked with Yexian in a low voice.

Yuan Bin pondered for a while, then sighed, and walked towards the city wall.

Luo Heng suddenly saw a person coming up and asked, "Who are you?"

Yuan Bin walked and said, "I am Yuan Bin, Captain of Jinyiwei. My lord, Your Majesty has fallen into the hands of the Oirats. Please listen to me for your Majesty's sake."

Seeing him getting closer, Luo Heng shouted suddenly: "Yuan Bin, don't go any further, otherwise, don't blame my lord for being rude to you."

Yuan Bin thought he was trying to scare him, so he didn't stop. When he saw dozens of muskets on the city wall aimed at him, he realized that Luo Heng was here for real. , I am indeed Yuan Bin, and His Majesty has indeed fallen into the hands of the Oirats, do you want His Majesty to die? This is a capital crime, please open the door immediately and welcome the Emperor into the city."

Luo Heng hesitated for a moment, and suddenly saw a figure appearing at the top of the city, he laughed and said: "It's dark now, the city gate can't be opened."

Seeing that this person didn't look like an officer or soldier, Yuan Bin asked, "Who are you?"

The man shook an abacus in his hand, and it rang loudly, and said with a smile: "I am Ji Xiaoqi, the Chicken Altar Messenger of the Demon Cult, have you heard of my name?"

Yuan Bin said: "It turned out to be Messenger Ji, disrespectful and disrespectful." With a sneer, he said: "Messenger Ji, please forgive me, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open, is it dark?"

Ji Xiaoqi smiled lightly, and said: "Yuan Bin, you said I was blind, and you are not much better. Didn't you see a group of wolves behind you? Didn't you let Lord Luo open the city gate to attract wolves into the house? You What's your intention?"

Yuan Bin blushed, how could he not know this truth, and murmured: "But your majesty has already been caught first, if you don't open the city, I'm afraid it will be bad for your majesty first."

Ji Xiaoqi said seriously: "Yuan Bin, Xuanfu is an important frontier defense town. Did you just open it as soon as you said it? Besides, General Yang is not in the city, and Lord Luo dare not make decisions without authorization. If you want to open the city gate, you have to wait for General Yang to come back." .You go."

Yuan Bin had tried his best, so he had no choice but to go back. Seeing that he returned without success, he was sent down.

"Luo Heng, do you think that this grand master has no way to attack the city? You just wait for this grand master to kill Zhu Qizhen, and then break the city." He also mobilized his skills first, and said sharply.

As soon as the words were finished, there was a burst of laughter from the top of the city. At the same time, there were eleven more people in the top of the city, and an old man in it smiled proudly: "First of all, just listen clearly, this old man is the rat altar of the Demon Cult. The emissary, Zhang Zheng, has been waiting here for a long time." The remaining ten people also reported their names, and with the addition of Ji Xiaoqi who was the first to appear, the twelve altar emissaries of the Devil's Cult have arrived.

I have also seen people from the Devil's Cult so arrogant, they are so angry that they are about to go crazy when they stare.

Zhou Feng hurriedly said: "Brother, they are provoking you, don't be fooled."

He also said first: "Am I still afraid of these people in the Central Plains martial arts? Sister, you go and invite the Second Heavenly Master and the Four Great Venerables, and I will give orders to attack the city."

Zhou Fengdao: "Brother, the Devil's Cult is the largest religion in the Central Plains, and there are many masters. I'm afraid these twelve envoys are just leading the way. No one knows how many people from the Devil's Cult are still in this city. That's right, single-wheeled masters, Even if the Devil's Cult comes out in full force, they can't compare to our Wala, but do we need to fight them desperately at this time?"

After listening to it first, I felt that there was some truth, and my anger was relieved a lot.

Suddenly, Luo Heng on the top of the city drew his sword out of its sheath, and said loudly: "If anyone leaves the city, I will kill him with the sword in my hand. I, Luo Heng, swear here to live and die with Xuanfu."

After hearing this, all the soldiers felt their blood boil, and they said in unison: "We swear to live and die with Xuanfu!"

Zhou Feng's heart trembled, and he said to himself: "I thought the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were a mass of scattered sand, but I didn't expect the soldiers in Xuanfu City to be so united."

I also saw that the soldiers in Xuanfu City were united and determined to defend the city to the death, so I had to sigh and lead the army back.

As soon as the Vala army left, two people suddenly appeared on the top of the city. These two people were a man and a woman.

"Your Highness, the idea you came up with really works. The old minister is known as the number one wise general in the army, but compared to the princess, the old minister is far inferior."

"Old General Yang praised you. Based on your experience, I think you will do the same."

Yang Hong looked at Luo Heng, and said apologetically, "Lord Luo, I was really sorry just now."

Luo Heng said: "Old General Yang, don't say that, this is what Luo should do. It's the twelve knights, we should thank them."

Yang Hongdao: "Yes, if it weren't for the appearance of the twelve knights, Ling Ye would have had scruples first, I'm afraid he would attack the city recklessly."

Zhang Zhengdao: "As disciples of the Ming Dynasty, it is our duty to protect our family and the country. Master Luo's bold words just now deeply admire the old man and the others."

Luo Heng glanced at the soldiers on the city wall, and said: "I can't defend the Xuan Mansion alone, but with so many soldiers, I have confidence."

Seeing them pushing back and forth, Zhu Qiyan smiled inwardly, and said, "Don't be humble, tell me that everyone has contributed. As long as we all work together, we will not be afraid of Oala's army." Yi An, said: "Although there are various reasons for the failure of the Civil War, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers did not unite as one. This is what we should be vigilant about."

Yuan Ziyu, the envoy of the Rabbit Altar, observed her words and knew that she was worried about Zhu Qizhen, so she stepped forward and said: "Princess little sister, the emperor is auspicious, I think it will not be against him for the time being."

Zhu Qiyan glanced at him gratefully, and said, "Sister Yuan, thank you."

Seeing the dullness on the field, Ji Xiaoqi changed the subject, and asked with a smile, "Princess, what method did you use to make Ara Zhiyuan of Wala suddenly fall ill?"

Zhu Qiyan said: "This is thanks to my adoptive father."

"Who is the princess' adoptive father?"

"His old man is the master Shangguan Wucuo on the Tianbang."

"Ah, it turned out to be his old man. With his old man's skills, it's no wonder that the prefect of Ara in Wala fell ill suddenly."

"Messenger Ji misunderstood, then Ara Zhiyuan is not really sick."

Everyone listened, so it's not surprising.

Zhu Qiyan said: "Before my adoptive father died..."

The faces of the twelve envoys changed, and Zhang Zheng asked in surprise: "Senior Shangguan has passed away?"

Zhu Qiyan nodded sadly, and said: "The old man died for the country. Before he died, he gave me a box of priceless jewels, and I gave this box of jewels to Ara Zhiyuan."

Ji Xiaoqi said: "It turns out that Ara Zhiyuan is a greedy person."

Zhu Qiyan said: "Money touches people's hearts, and the Ara Zhiyuan is not immune."

Ji Xiaoqi said: "The princess gave him jewels, and he promised the princess to go first without sending troops. This is really a good strategy."

Zhu Qiyan shook her head and said: "He only gave me a one-month deadline. Once the deadline is over, he will still listen to Yexian's orders. After all, he doesn't dare to really fight against Yexian."

Yuan Ziyu asked: "Sister Princess, how did you conclude that the Prefect of Ara will agree to the conditions you proposed after receiving the jewels?"

Zhu Qiyan said: "When I was in the capital, I often collected information about the senior generals of Wala. Although Yexian was the grand master, he controlled most of the military power in Mongolia. Tuotuobuhua was a khan in reputation, but he only It's just a puppet in Yexian's hands, Ara Zhiyuan has its own soldiers and horses, although they are restrained by Yexian, they are not completely powerless to resist."

Yuan Ziyu said: "It turns out that you took advantage of the internal conflicts in Wala."

Zhu Qiyan sighed: "It's a pity that the Ara Zhiyuan didn't dare to resist Yexian after all, otherwise, I would definitely make him and Yexian fight to the point of sword confrontation." Looking into the distance, his eyes were a little worried, but also a little hopeful , slowly said: "I won't get any benefits in Xuan Mansion first, I will definitely go to Datong to try my luck, and the two elders of Xiaoyao have rushed to help out, I hope they can help a little."
