Pure Yang Sword Sovereign

Chapter 767
The old general has followed Guo Da for many years, and he is also well versed in the art of war. He put on his horse, ordered to open the gate of the city, and led [-] elite soldiers to rush out.Arrange the troops and horses in a wedge-shaped formation, with one of your own horses leading as the tip of the knife, and on both sides are heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor and riding strong horses.

Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he used his troops to confront the northern barbarians several times, defeating the northern barbarians. This set of methods of taming iron cavalry has been passed down to this day, and it has finally come in handy. Unfortunately, it was used to kill each other. .

The [-] cavalrymen's horseshoes were like the wind, and a stream of loess rolled away, and the momentum was extremely fast, and it went straight to Zuo Huairen's [-] forward army.There was also a commander among the vanguards of the rebel army. Seeing Peng Ze's defenders attacking on his own initiative, and seeing the formation lined up, after a little calculation, a slight sneer appeared on the face under the helmet, and he shouted: "Peng Ze's army is going to break through forcibly while I am not on my footing. Take advantage of the situation to intercept and kill the large army. Don’t you know that this is exactly what I want you to do, otherwise I will not show my way of using troops! Left and right, order to go down, and the armored spearmen will meet you, and the rest will wait for the wing guards to respond!"

With the order of the military, the rebel forwards also changed their formation, and became a state of head-to-head and force-forcing.The [-] soldiers and horses were still scattered at first, but suddenly they were integrated, each performing their duties, and became an iron plate.Veteran Peng Ze saw that the rebels were on guard, and knew that he was on the right track, but the arrow was on the string. Once the cavalry charged, it would be difficult to change formation, unless they broke through the enemy's formation first, and then changed slowly. He thought: "I have been with General Guo for more than ten years. After countless battles, even if you are prepared, as long as I fight steadily, nothing will go wrong!" Shouted: "Left and right, follow me!" He took the lead and slammed into it like a sharp knife!
The two parties, one in the shape of a spindle and the other in the shape of a wedge, collided viciously at one place!Immediately, people turned on their backs, horses neighed, knights roared, spears and swords crisscrossed, and light and shadow went back and forth.As soon as the two iron cavalry touched, many people fell off their horses, trampled by thousands of horses, they were dead.

Guo Da supported the city wall and watched the battle from the top of the city tower. Seeing the rebel vanguard change formation, he slapped the city wall hard and shouted: "No! It's a trick!" Xiaoxiao's predicament will never trouble him." Guo Da ordered: "Even so, you have to be prepared, you go and mobilize [-] soldiers and horses, and you can respond at any time!" The deputy general led the order to go
Brother Ling Kang was watching the battle in a remote place. Ling Kang said: "Our army has fallen into the enemy's trick to lure the enemy. If we can withstand their attack and break through the enemy's formation, we will have a chance to rally." Ling Chong looked at Brother Nai with admiration. , said: "Brother actually has a deep understanding of the art of war?" Ling Kang blushed: "In the past few years, I have fought against the rebels a lot, and I have learned some in my spare time. Let's see, which side has the better chance of winning the battle between the two sides?" ?”

Ling Chong took a look, frowned and said: "The weapons and armor used by the rebel army are very good, and there are so many people. If the Ming side does not respond, I'm afraid it will be bad." After the words fell, it was true that General Nian's troops were concentrated in the formation. In one place, he wanted to penetrate the enemy's formation, but he plunged into his pocket, unable to attack for a long time, and was wiped out by waves of enemy troops.After three drums, the morale was slightly low, and the enemy general saw that it was cheap, so he swung his troops to attack from the flank.

The dust was flying, and General Nian hacked several soldiers to death with his sword. He yelled loudly, trying to stabilize his own position, but the enemy army attacked from the flank, regardless of life and death, and his formation gradually became disorganized. Its development, I am afraid that in the end it will be powerless.

Guo Da saw something was wrong, and shouted: "Order the army and horses to respond quickly!" The former deputy general gave a loud roar, and led ten thousand elite soldiers to rush out of the city, and then came to hide and kill.When the general of the rebel army saw him, he knew that today's plan was sold, so he closed it when he saw it. He immediately ordered to gather the formation, put the soldiers and regiments together, and gave up the idea of ​​eating all of General Nian's troops.

General Nian had reinforcements coming out, so he made up his mind and held his ground, not daring to attack, but he also didn't dare to turn his horse's head rashly. He waited until the reinforcements came up and the two groups merged, and then retreated slowly.

Many corpses had been left on the battlefield, most of them were soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and there were also many unowned horses standing still, sweeping their tails, bored.When General Nian pushed up the tower, he took a brief count. Two thousand soldiers were lost in one battle, and hundreds of people were injured. He knelt down on the ground with shame on his face, and said to Guo Da: "General, Nian was weak in the first battle, but I beg you to die, so as to correct the morale of the army!" A big defeat in the first battle is a big taboo in the army, even if the leader is pulled out and beheaded, it is not an exaggeration, it just depends on how Guo Da judges.

Everyone's eyes fell on Guo Da's face, and several lieutenants came out to intercede: "General, calm down. General Nian's ineffectiveness in the first battle is a capital crime, but it is not a good omen to kill the general before the war. The general allowed him to take the crime and make meritorious deeds!"

Guo Da said coldly: "Nian Yao, I think you have a long history of military exploits. This time, I will record your head for the time being. I promise you that you will commit crimes and meritorious deeds, so you don't get out!" Nian Yao looked ashamed and shouted: "Thank you, General, for not killing him En!" Knocked his head three times, then hurriedly retreated.

After the vanguard of the rebel army outside the city cleaned the battlefield, they immediately set up camp, only a few miles away from Pengze City, and sent out a small group of soldiers to search back and forth, in case Pengze's defenders went out of the city to steal the camp.Guo Dayu was furious. Seeing the enemy's arrangement, he admired the enemy's arrangement. He nodded and said, "The commander of the other party is very good at war. He deserves to be under Zuo Huairen's army. It seems that he won't attack the city today. We have to wait for Zuo Huairen." The benevolent army has gathered. All immortal masters, please return to your tent to rest."

He led the crowd to turn around and left the general to guard the tower and monitor the enemy's movements.It was also the first time for Shangguan Yunzhu and the others to see the two armies fighting with their own eyes, and they all watched with great interest. Ling Chong saw it in his eyes, shook his head and thought: "These Taoist monks don't know the suffering of the people, they only regard the fierce battle as a Have fun!" Protecting Ling Kang went down the gate tower and turned back to the county office, he didn't talk to a few people, he was happy to try to be clean.

Guo Da invited Shangguan Yunzhu and five people to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss the strategy of refusing to defend. Ling Chong was too lazy to attend the invitation and ignored it completely. For no reason, they finally dispersed.People from the Taoist sect will not join the battle in person, and kill people with a knife. Doing so would be too harmful to the peace of the world, and there will be endless troubles.

People of the Taoist sect are not allowed to interfere with the affairs of the secular world. Of course, most of the monks of the Taoist sect have amazing supernatural powers, which are absolutely beyond the reach of the secular world. It is also because once they commit more crimes, they will have more karma, which is not good for future practice.How many monks went astray, relying on their own magic power, bullying the weak, and finally couldn't pass the hurdle of escape, and died under the calamity.The reincarnation of cause and effect in Buddhism is no joke.

Ling Chong is aware of this taboo, so he only protects Brother Naiquan, and never enters the battle to fight.Ling Kang was worried, and said to Ling Chong: "Look at today's formation, Zuo Huairen's army is all elite, and the armor and weapons they use are much better than those of Ming Dynasty, and Peng Ze thinks his troops are insufficient. It's really difficult!" Peng Ze said Once the gate of Jinling is lost, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is no longer dangerous to defend, and the enemy can drive straight in and approach Jinling!

Ling Chong said: "I am a cultivator of Taoism, Guo Da and his generation have to worry about the battle, if elder brother is worried, you can go to Guo Da for discussion." Ling Kang asked: "Isn't the righteous way of the Xuanmen stand up and support Pingdi Jiangshan? As long as you use some flying sword technique and make a few strikes, won't Prince Jing's head be easily captured?"

Ling Chong shook his head and smiled: "That's not the case. The more you practice Qi, the more you fear the cause and effect of heaven, and you don't dare to act recklessly. It is true that Xuanmen supports Emperor Ping, but they will not directly intervene in the battle for the throne. It’s a big karma. Besides, Prince Jing also has monks from the Demon Cult to assist us, and we still have to save our mana to deal with the people of the Demon Way. All I can do is to bring you back to Jinling safely if Pengze City is destroyed.”

Ling Kang said angrily: "So that's the case, I still count on your ability to turn the tide." Ling Chong smiled and said nothing.This day was indeed very uneventful, the rebels were busy setting up camp to meet the army, the atmosphere in Guo Da's camp was tense, the dispatch of troops was waiting for a fierce battle after Zuo Huairen's arrival.Someone also proposed to rob the camp at night, Guo Da thought about it again and again, but still shook his head and refused.Bairi has already suffered a defeat, if the opponent is prepared to rob the camp and suffer a big defeat, the morale will be hit at least a little bit, so don't take such a strange risk.

As the night darkened, everyone rested one after another, only Guo Da's tent was still brightly lit. Ling Chong saw it in the county government office and nodded secretly. It is still unknown whether the collapse of the building will be prevented.

Under the bright lights, Shangguan Yunzhu was sitting alone in a courtyard, away from the big tent, doing self-exercise exercises.Suddenly, a small paper crane flew over and landed on the window lattice, snatching away!Three beeps, the bird's beak pecked through the window paper, Shangguan Yunzhu woke up immediately, and said in a low voice, "Where are you, Fellow Daoist?"

An old voice came out of the paper crane's beak and said: "Old Taoist Wumenshan, please come out of the city for a while!" Shangguan Yunzhu sneered: "It turned out to be Fellow Wu. I heard that you colluded with the Demon Sect and plotted against Ling Chong, but You have made a mess, and even those two from the Soul Devouring Dao have fallen in, so why come looking for me? Are you not afraid that I will kill you by eliminating demons and defending Dao?"

Zhihe smiled and said: "Shangguan Daoist friend, don't joke, the old Taoist just met by chance, not colluding with the demon sect, let alone murdering his fellow Taoists. It is because Ling Chong has corrupted my Wu family's talisman and Taoism, so he has no choice but to make such a bad plan. This matter The only one in the world who knows about it is the old Taoist, if you want to talk to Shangguan Taoist friends, I ask the real people of the Qingxu Taoist sect to uphold justice."

Shangguan Yunzhu was somewhat aroused, and asked: "Oh? Ling Chong only has the inheritance of Taixuan swordsmanship, when did you go to covet your Wu family's spells again?" The Zhihe said: "When fellow Taoist comes, You will know!" Shaking his head, the paper wings shook and flew away.

Shangguan Yunzhu sneered: "I want to see how you pretend to be a ghost!" After leaving the room, he followed the paper crane.The paper crane fluttered its wings and flew quickly, over the city wall and landed outside the city.Shangguan Yunzhu came here with restraint, did not disturb others, saw the paper crane flew eastward for dozens of miles, in front of him was a small hill, and finally landed in the palm of one person.

That person was Wulao Wumen Mountain, who received the talisman that had turned into a paper crane, and said to Shangguan Yunzhu, "Shangguan fellow Taoist, you are polite!" He said: "Thank you for daring to show yourself, there are still a few Taoists in the city right now, why don't you come with me and explain whether you have any secret connections with the Devil's Cult?"

Wu Menshan didn't change his face, and said with a smile: "Daoist friends are just joking, Wu Mou is so bright, how can he care about small things? After all, when the Taiqing Sect was destroyed, the noble sect hid in the dark, but it didn't matter." Don't worry, this theory of colluding with the demon sect seems to have originated from the noble sect!"

"Shut up!" Shangguan Yunzhu's face was as frosty. The Taiqing Sect was too long ago. Even she heard a few words from Taoist Fuzhen by chance. Only then did the Qingxu Taoist sect rise and have been the leader of the righteous way for thousands of years.What Wumen Shan meant was that she had already pointed it out, even if it was true, it was beyond her tolerance, so she spoke out and reprimanded her.

Wumenshan didn't care, and said leisurely: "The seven sects of Xuanmen have not been the orthodox way of Xuanmen in this world since ancient times, and many disgraceful methods were used in them. The disciples of the Qingxu Dao Sect are appointed as queens? We all look at each other, just look at the height of the wrist."

Shangguan Yunzhu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he cut straight to the point: "You said that Ling Chong corrupted the inheritance of your Wu family's Taoism, what evidence do you have?" Wu Menshan snorted, and said, "My Wu family is the Taiqing sect talisman. The authenticity of the inheritance, the ancestor is the elder of the Taiqing Sect, do you know about this matter?"

Shangguan Yunzhu sneered: "The Taiqing Sect has been destroyed for many years, and the ancestor of the Lianchuang Sect can only hide in the Nine Heavens Immortal Tower. Your Wu family regards itself as Taiqing orthodox. How can this sect not know? It's because your Wu family is not Taiqing. The meaning of overturning the case is to let you go only because you are obsessed with collecting the incomplete inheritance of the Taiqing. So, it is Ling Chong who took away the inheritance of the Taiqing?"

Wu Lao sneered and said: "It's a long story. Back then, when the skinny fairy Jin Chuan was born on the Lingjiang River, looking for a destined person, there was a little girl who got a talisman. Because it was written in Yunwen, she didn't quite understand it. So I donated it to Ling Chong. Ling Chong's family made a gift of a translation of the scriptures. This is what the little girl's husband-in-law said, and it is absolutely true. From this, it can be seen that the inheritance of the Taiqing must belong to the Taixuan sect. Ling Chong just happened to meet at the right time, and what is even more hateful, he even secretly used tricks to steal the original scripture and refused to return it! Fellow Daoist Shangguan, if someone steals the supernatural power inheritance of the Qingxu Taoist sect, what will your sect do with it? "

Shangguan Yunzhu said without hesitation: "Of course I killed him!" Wumenshan clapped his hands and sighed: "Yes! That's right! The old man also thought this way, so he attacked Ling Chong. Unexpectedly, the boy was burdened with a The magic weapon retreated calmly in the midst of the siege of the five great masters. It goes without saying that the magic weapon must have been obtained from the treasures left behind by the Taiqing. It is so deceitful that the old Taoist has no choice but to ask Qingxu Daozong to be my Wu family Justice!"

Shangguan Yunzhu didn't bother to bother with what she said, but Ling Chong actually had the Taiqing inheritance and a magic weapon in his hands, which made her suspicious, and asked: "Isn't the magic weapon in Ling Chong's hands the ones from the Taixuan School?" Is it one of them?" Wu Lao sneered: "That magic weapon evolves two black and white qis, which are scattered in the sky. It is definitely not the known taixuan magic weapons. The number of paths is completely different! Many people have witnessed this. Can't go wrong!"
