Chapter 236

Calling the wind and rain, summoning the power of thunder, can be said to be the strongest means Zhang Tianshi can use now.

However, this method has a big flaw - it cannot be precisely guided.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Tianshi didn't create thunder and clouds by using spells, he was just borrowing the power of celestial phenomena.

In this borrowing process, Zhang Tianshi can only roughly place the thunder cloud within a certain range, but he cannot control who the thunder in the thunder cloud will fall on.

It is equivalent to a large-scale killing move.

Even so, it is impossible for these thunderclouds to cast dense and destructive lightning like the lightning storms in the red alert that Li Changqing played in his previous life.

At most, it is equivalent to the lightning falling down in a severe thunderstorm. The actual damage caused is not much, but it can easily destroy the morale of the enemy.

Emperor Kangxi didn't know that the soldiers of the system around Li Changqing were all loyal and morale-locked. At this time, the two sides were caught in a war of attrition. If one of them was attacked by thunder, in this era of universal superstition, it would inevitably cause riots in the army. Even morale slipped.

At that time, the Qing army will be able to break through the Tang army's line in one fell swoop by relying on the spirit that has not yet faded away, dividing and encircling it.

There were many soldiers in the Qing Dynasty and few soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. As long as the Tang army's battle line was torn apart, it would only be a matter of time before the Qing army won.

Moreover, the thunder and lightning thrown into the tide of enemy soldiers can also make the soldiers of the Qing army think that the gods are on their side, which can greatly improve the morale of the Qing army.

Therefore, the focus of Zhang Tianshi's spells is not to kill the enemy, but to seize power!
If the Taoist technique can really summon the power of thunder to destroy an army, the Taoist will not give up power to the secular dynasty...

Li Changqing watched the dark clouds above his head getting darker and darker, and his mood inevitably became worse.

Even he, who knows the hole cards, can do this. It is conceivable how depressed ordinary officers and soldiers will be when encountering such astronomical phenomena.

This is still not the moment for thunder!

The drizzle began to fall and continued to increase. On the battlefield where the fierce battle was taking place, the arquebus was swept away by the hurricane rain and immediately turned into a firestick. Even the flintlock was affected a lot.

At least, in heavy rain, when loading ammunition, it is easy to cause the gunpowder to become damp and invalid.

However, the Qing army and the Tang army had already entered the bloody hand-to-hand combat at this time, and the use rate of muskets was not high, but it did not affect the frontline battle situation much.

Moreover, the front line where the Japanese mercenaries are located is only the outer periphery of the rainy clouds above their heads, and those who are really watered by the rain are the system soldiers who are located around the commander-in-chief flag of the Chinese army.

The rumbling sound in the thundercloud became more and more frequent, as if the anger of the gods was brewing.

Chu Qingxi who was below smiled slightly, and said slowly to Li Changqing: "The time has come."

Li Changqing nodded slightly, and issued a series of orders to Ling Qi beside him.

The next moment, a force invisible to the naked eye suddenly began to push the dense cloud containing the sound of rolling thunder, causing the cloud to float at an extremely fast speed to the side of the main force of the Qing army, where the Emperor Kangxi's flag was located!

For a while, the officers and soldiers of the Qing army below were soaked through their armor, and nearly half of the muskets in the Qing army were scrapped!
The artillery also misfired...

Chu Qingxi can't call the wind and rain, but she can push the clouds with the help of immortal methods!
Zhang Tianshi at the other end suddenly vomited blood while casting the spell, and fell to the ground with a sluggish face, eyes full of horror.

Emperor Kangxi who was next to him was even more shocked when he saw it, and asked urgently: "What happened?

Why is the thundercloud drifting towards us? ! "

"Your Majesty, there are real immortals sitting on the side of Li Changqing, the demon way, not the half-baked immortals like the false Tang saintesses, but the orthodox ancient immortal masters!
He just broke my spell, and Leiyun is no longer under my control! "

Zhang Tianshi, who vomited blood, explained in a weak tone while sitting cross-legged.

After all, Zhang Tianshi's realm was inferior to that of an immortal, and his spellcasting was suddenly interrupted. The backlash was very strong, and he almost lost all his Taoism abilities in a short period of time.

And his lifespan will also be lost for several years!

Chu Qingxi had never fought against the Qing on the battlefield, so the Qing court did not know that there was such a master of immortals as Chu Qingxi beside Li Changqing.

The originally crumbling front of the Japanese mercenaries immediately recovered after witnessing the thundercloud drifting towards the enemy.

Even Yamashita Yasuo looked at the distant thunder cloud with eyes full of eyes, and muttered to himself: "God Amaterasu bless you, the ancestor of Wanfa Dao bless..."

The Tang Empire has been disseminating Taoist ideas to Japanese warriors. Although the time is too short to achieve much effect, the Japanese warriors already know that there is a Taoist ancestor in the world, and the Taoist ancestor is the ancestor of the unity of all dharmas, and is listed in the Amaterasu Above the Great God...

This has been certified by the Shinto authority of Japan!

Japan, which is now divided into four, naturally dare not refute Tang's request for religious rectification.

What's more, the Tang Dynasty only integrated Japan's native Shintoism into Taoism, and did not completely obliterate it.

The religious policy of the Tang Empire is very simple.

To deal with local common beliefs and religions, adopt an integration strategy.

To deal with those major world religions, they adopt a strategy of suppression.

The policy of religious tolerance is a transitional strategy.

Chu Qingxi had already pinched the world, and when the thundercloud drifted to the rear of the Qing army, just as the huge thunder force was brewing, the lightning finally stopped flashing in the thundercloud, but fell to the ground indirectly.

The iron armor of the Qing army became a good conductor for attracting lightning...

Only a handful of soldiers of the Qing army were struck to death by lightning. To the hundreds of thousands of Qing soldiers, this was not considered harm at all.

However, the power of thunder falling from the sky is a terrifying scene that these Qing army officers and soldiers have never seen in their entire lives. Moreover, the thunderclouds and clear sky in the sky are clear at a glance, and only lightning is falling from his head. Isn't this that he has been punished by God?
Many of the ignorant officers and soldiers of the Qing army attributed this scene to God's punishment!

If heaven is not on the side of the Qing court, they will definitely lose!
Just when the Qing army was in a state of disarray, [-] orc infantry, wearing armor and holding big axes and shields, rushed out of the Japanese mercenary line and slammed into the Qing army's line.

The predator cavalry attacked from all directions, constantly hunting and killing the Qing army's outer formation to consume the Qing army's vital strength.

The most terrifying Yin soldiers of the Qin Dynasty also attacked in an all-round way. They directly crossed the front line of the fierce battle and killed the Chinese army where Emperor Kangxi was.

When the morale of the Qing army declined, Li Changqing dispatched all the forces in his hands except to keep the guards.

Soon, under the strong attack of the orc army, the first ten thousand Qing army formation was defeated and formed a sweeping momentum.

The excited Japanese mercenaries followed behind the orc army and poured into the gap in the Qing army's front to expand the results of the battle.

No one doesn't like the tailwind of beating the dog in the water.

After Emperor Kangxi saw this scene, he immediately dispatched all the Mongolian cavalry to penetrate the flanks of the orc army.

Immediately afterwards, large groups of Mongolian cavalry collided fiercely with the predator cavalry, and the two sides launched a fierce strangulation.

After all, the Qing army has a large number of people. Even if the formation of tens of thousands of people is constantly defeated, there will still be a steady stream of reserve teams to replace them. Although the morale of these reserve troops is low, it is still possible to hold on for a while.

However, at this time, Emperor Kangxi no longer had any hope of victory...

He glanced at the thunderclouds that were slowly dissipating, and the worsening battle situation, and whispered new instructions to his confidant, the Eight Banners general.

After all, the thunder clouds were forcibly gathered by Taoism, and after releasing the brewing power of thunder and lightning, they entered the 'declining period'.

The Mongolian cavalry and even the full Eight Banners cavalry, which had never appeared before, were used to launch a fatal blow to the Tang army before the thunder cloud disappeared. Now that the Mongolian cavalry was taken up by Emperor Kangxi as a firefighting team, the full Eight Banners cavalry will naturally be moved. he used...

Although none of the Qing army's four fronts were broken at this time, the Tang army clearly had the upper hand. The offensive and defensive positions of the two sides were changed. Rarely can be reorganized.

And the Mongolian cavalry that rushed to fight the fire was even more embarrassingly blocked by the marauder cavalry, who were far fewer in number than them, and did not insert themselves into the proper fighting position at all.

Emperor Kangxi migrated from the Han all the way, and also experienced large and small battles, so he naturally had a clear understanding of the situation of the war.

The Qing army with a large number of people is almost unable to hold on!
The tens of thousands of troops of the Qing army dispatched up could not even hold back the charge of the orc army!
And most of the muskets that had been watered by the rain were useless, so that the Qing army would often be crushed by close combat against the orc infantry with a huge advantage in size.

Fortunately, Emperor Kangxi has always been prepared for war.

Not to mention this decisive battle that bets on the fate of the country.

Emperor Kangxi did not want to die on the outskirts of Lahore.

He has the courage to migrate from the Han family, so naturally he doesn't mind abandoning more of his belongings and running for his life.

If this decisive battle goes well, the Man Eight Banners elite cavalry that has been recharging their energy will be the final strength.

On the contrary, it is the seed of the Qing court who escorted Emperor Kangxi to escape from birth.

The Man Ba ​​Banners have long been tied to Emperor Kangxi. In this land full of aliens, the Man Ba ​​Banners have no other choice even if they are dissatisfied with Emperor Kang Xi's rule.

Both Han Chinese and Mongols can surrender to Tang, but Manchus can't!

Look at the Manchus living in the Tang Empire. Not only were they deprived of all their privileges, they were also used as official slaves of the Tang court.

All the sturdy Manchu Banners were filled into mines and other places to engage in high-risk and high-intensity physical labor.

The young and beautiful woman of the Eight Banners became the girl of the Jiaofang Secretary...

The Tang Empire did this, firstly because it was politically correct for the Han people to oppose the Manchu Banners, and secondly because the Manchu Banners had a small population, so there was no need to worry about strong resistance.

The Han Eight Banners surrendered and received preferential treatment because their ancestors were all Han Chinese, and they themselves recognized their blood as Han Chinese.

The surrender of the Mongolian Eight Banners was not oppressed because the Mongols belonged to the main ethnic group in the north of the Han Dynasty, and the Mongolian grasslands needed the surrendered Mongols to help the Tang Empire rule.

After all, Li Changqing can't let the Han people go to the Mongolian grasslands to nomad and herd sheep...

In the same way, the local races in the Western Regions and Snow Regions were all treated equally by the Tang State, because it was impossible for Li Changqing to kill all the people in those lands.

Only the Manchu Eight Banners is not an irreplaceable race for the Tang Empire!
Therefore, if you don't want to be a slave for the rest of your life, and you don't want your family members to be ridden by thousands of people, the children of the Eight Banners must bite the bullet and follow Emperor Kangxi to the end!

Emperor Kangxi also knew this very well, so he confidently and boldly relied on the Manchu Eight Banners.

Emperor Kangxi did not receive internal challenges for his own power, and even abolished the crown prince, so that the current Qing Dynasty does not even have a legal heir!
In other words, if Emperor Kangxi died, the already weak Qing Dynasty would immediately fall into an internal power struggle.

Any person of insight who is full of Eight Banners understands that the disappearance of Emperor Kangxi means the demise of the Qing Dynasty, and the current Qing Dynasty cannot withstand internal power strife at all!

Emperor Kangxi's move is extremely sinister, it's completely like I'll let the Qing Dynasty flood the sky after I die...

Of course, Emperor Kangxi not only used deterrent means, but at the same time, those who followed Emperor Kangxi lived a life of a master. Therefore, even though Emperor Kangxi was repeatedly defeated by the Tang army, he still sat firmly on the throne of the Qing emperor.

Soon, the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners all rode their horses and surrounded Emperor Kangxi and left the battlefield.

Those Taoist masters also joined the fleeing team.

In order to let the Qing army and the Mongolian Eight Banners under his command serve as cannon fodder behind the palace, Emperor Kangxi's commander-in-chief flag Luanjia did not move, and was still placed on the commanding heights where the commander-in-chief flag of the Chinese army was located. From a distance, it seemed that Emperor Kangxi was still commanding the Chinese army. .

As for the family servants of the Manchu Eight Banners, they had already moved south before the war started.

In the city of Lahore, there are only family servants of the Mongolian Eight Banners!
Of course, not all the Manchu Eight Banners can follow Emperor Kangxi, and it would be too conspicuous to do so.

It was impossible for the Saurons and Barhus, the sharp-edged troops who were pushed in front, to follow Emperor Kangxi.

In other words, the birth girl was really regarded as an abandoned son by Emperor Kangxi.

Although they are strong in combat, they are not the core group of the Manchu Eight Banners.

It was also the children of the Eight Banners formed by these birth girls who were fighting on the front line, so that the other troops did not notice that the core cavalry group of the Eight Banners had run away for a while.

Emperor Kangxi took away all the cavalry this time, everyone had horses, and they ran very fast.

However, the consequences of doing so are also very bad. From now on, it is estimated that the Qing Dynasty will only have the core armed force of the Manchu Banners, and it will still lose the Manchu Banners, which is an important military pillar of the birth of Jurchen!

Fortunately, the Eight Banners have now followed Emperor Kangxi all the way from Han to northwest India. They have already experienced the test of survival of the fittest, which is fundamentally different from the original Eight Banners walking in the capital.

At least, everyone can gallop on horseback and charge on horseback.

Horseback riding and shooting skills are too demanding, and there are still a few people who have mastered this skill among the Eight Banners.

However, the level of firearms used by the Man Baqi disciples has been greatly improved, which makes up for the shortcomings of outdated riding and archery skills.
