book of troubled times

Chapter 185
The night is dark and windy.

On the east bank of Taihu Lake, an army of thousands of people was drinking water and making food by the lakeside. The military discipline was not too strict, but there was also noise, which seemed very noisy in the dead of night.

But compared with the messy troops in Yangzhou and Gusu that Zhao Changhe had seen before, they could already be regarded as a well-ordered elite army.

It was the vanguard army led by Bodhisattva Dharma-sheng of the ten dwellings.

The so-called ten abiding Bodhisattva is not the title of Fasheng, but a level in the Maitreya religion, which means killing many lives. I hope that I can also be a Bodhisattva of the ten dwellings.

Fasheng had just entered Wuxing yesterday, and had only rested for a day and a night. When Tang Buqi was worried about when he would call, he had actually gone around Hubei at night and headed straight for Gusu.

There is also a navy on the lake, which advances by land and water.

It is said that they are "pioneers", and there are not many people. In fact, judging from Fasheng's overwhelming military front these days, they all directly broke the city, and basically did not receive decent resistance.

It is not only because the city is full of people from their Maitreya sect, including officials and people, but also because the Jiangnan army is more useless than the mob.At this time, on the contrary, the aristocratic families from all over the world are a little bit resistant, because they look down on the Maitreya Sect.

But that bit of resistance is really useless, those families themselves are wastes who only eat, drink, play and bully men and women.Before the army came, everyone's chest was loudly slapped, and they all said that they would pick Maitreya's head and present it to His Majesty. When the soldiers came to the city, looking at the black army, everyone's legs softened faster than shrimps.

So Fasheng killed them all, and the water in the south of the Yangtze River turned bloody.

This is how the "strong army" has been honed from victories all the way from the abuse of food.At the beginning of the uprising, it was just a group of believers who had learned a few crop handles. Now that they have won a few battles and equipped with armor from various treasuries, they have begun to possess some serious and iron-blooded aura. The more he fights, the more he looks.

"Bodhisattva." In the military tent, Fasheng was observing the topographical map in front of the case, and a congregation next to him said: "The scouts report that Gusu is solid and clear, and even the autumn harvest is ignored, and there is no dog in the villages and towns outside."

"Tang Wanzhuang stayed in Gusu for so many days before, so of course she was prepared." Fa Sheng is a mighty and powerful monk, with a full beard like Lu Zhishen, but his demeanor is very calm: "It's a pity Tang Wanzhuang can't separate herself, she has to sit in Jinling and the leader to check each other, since the affairs of Gusu are presided over by people like Don Juansheng, no matter how much Tang Wanzhuang's efforts are made, she will fail in the hands of these trash."

Someone said: "Gusu is still quite famous. It is said that Don Juansheng and the others have nine doors... Bodhisattva, we don't have any strong soldiers in command. If someone goes all out to assassinate..."

Fasheng waved his hand: "There is no one in Gusu, and Tang Juansheng doesn't have the ability. Don't look at the Nine Levels of the Entrance Gate. If he really comes to assassinate him, a few rounds of random arrows will turn him into a hedgehog. Jiangbei Buddha was killed by Xia Chichi, then It's because we don't have much influence in Jiangbei, and it's not the same thing if the Buddhist altar is restrained by the strong of the Four Elephant Sect, and the strength and weakness are reversed."

After a pause, he said again: "Actually, even with Tang Wanzhuang's strong makeup, she would not dare to enter a dangerous place casually. Once she is entangled by the leader and surrounded by thousands of troops, she will fall here. In the same way, the leader cannot Casually breaking into Gusu to pick off Don Juan's head, God knows what kind of ambush Tang Wanzhuang has? Once you want to move, you must be absolutely prepared. War is not determined by a strong man. Gentlemen, this is ours. value."

Everyone nodded.

How can there be so many strong people who can come and go freely in the army... At least Gusu doesn't have the abnormality of Chili Yue Hongling.

A staff officer said: "Before what happened to the Lu family, it can be seen that the Gusu army is weak and there are no generals who can fight. But the Gusu families may be more dedicated, and most of the food in the city is enough. If they can organize family members to defend the city, and It's not easy to fight."

"This is the reason why I took the night to make a surprise attack. They neither have enough prestigious leaders nor enough experience in war. They are probably still thinking about how to use the geographical advantage to attack and defend, and arrange the defense areas of each family... Once sudden soldiers approach the city, they will probably have to Chaos, our opportunity is here. We can’t just wait for the follow-up army to arrive and accompany them to watch the saw, otherwise they may fight more and more to form an army, which is even more difficult.”

If Tang Buqi was here, I'm afraid my heart would be half cold.

Fasheng almost guessed his mind and the current situation of each family clearly. They are really assigning defense zones, waiting for Mitreya to teach you how to attack and defend.

Once the city is attacked at night, it is hard to say what will happen to the Tang family. It is inevitable that the other family will be in chaos.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Fasheng pointed to the topographic map: "Everyone, look here, the east bank of Taihu Lake is..."

Before the words finished, a hurried voice came from outside the tent: "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, someone outside the village reported that there was a ghost in the lake chiseling a boat, and a boat sank. It is suspected that Gusu sent troops to attack!"

"There are such people in Gusu?" Fa Sheng and other generals and staff officers walked out of the tent in amazement, and they saw the fire burning on the lake in the distance, and the sound of screaming and shouting was chaotic.

"Where is the person who reported the letter?" Fa Sheng asked, "Take me to ask about the situation."

The reporter was waiting by the reeds outside the gate of the village. He was also a tall young man with an ordinary appearance. Although he was tall, he was a little yellow, thin and malnourished. He was wet and looked like he had just jumped out of the water. He didn't even have a weapon in his hand. It's embarrassing.

Fasheng took a look and didn't have any doubts. There are quite a lot of such young men in the army, so he asked: "Tell me about the situation in the lake in detail? How many water ghosts have come from the other side? Now that you have entered the water, there has been a battle?"

The young man's voice was a little trembling: "Bodhisattva, there are many people coming from the opposite side, and the bottom of the water is dark, I dare not go there, I swam to the shore with all my might..."

Fasheng pondered for a moment, then ordered the left and right: "All you have to do is call the archers to the bank of the village to prepare. Don't leave the village without authorization, and be careful to rob the camp. Then send scouts to the front."

As he spoke, he looked at the young man suspiciously: "Don Juansheng has this ability, why don't I believe it?"

The young man was dumbfounded, as if he didn't know what you were talking about.

But that gaze inadvertently passed over the middle of the village, watching most of the archers waiting in front of the gate of the village move to the shore.

Fasheng was saying: "Wait a minute, you can show me the seal of King Fudoming."

The young man really made a Fudo Mingwang seal: "Yes, is this a Bodhisattva? I'm not very familiar with it..."

This is one of the fundamental seals of Buddhism. It is widely recorded in various scriptures. It is something that every Maitreya believer should know.

The general next to him felt that Fasheng was a bit suspicious this time. There was an accident on the boat in the lake, and you still have time to worry about whether the seal of the report is standard...

Fasheng also felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he laughed and laughed, and stretched out his hand to correct the young man's fingerprints like a corporal: "Don't break your thumb so stiff, it's like this..."

At this moment, the handprint of the seemingly honest young man suddenly changed.

The fingertips are like picking up flowers, like brushing willows, like lotuses from heaven, quietly blooming.

Including Fasheng and the onlookers, they only saw ghostly shadows of the fingers, and before they could react, they had already touched the Lieque acupoint on Fasheng's wrist.

And I especially understand their Maitreya teachings... this Fu point is not single point of Fu Lie Que, but along the Taiyin Lung Meridian, brushing the upper and lower points of Lie Que point, regardless of whether you have shifted position, you will undoubtedly hit it .

Half of Fasheng's body went numb in an instant, and he hurriedly retreated and shouted, "It's an assassin!"

The left and right reacted, and the swords came out, straight for the young man's head.

But he saw that his footsteps were slightly wrong, and he moved a little to the right very gracefully, with a hook under his feet, a broad knife hidden in the reed jumped into the palm of his hand.

"Roar!"

The knife rises, the wind howls!

With a "choke", all the long swords surrounding him were cut in two.Zhao Changhe flew up with the broken sword, chased and slashed in the air, and went straight to Fasheng who was retreating.

"Zhao Changhe, this fucking is Zhao Changhe!"

Fa was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. When will Zhao Changhe change his face and play such a motherfucker, with no scars or knives, no one can imagine that this guy is actually his mother Zhao Changhe!

He really dared to make a surprise attack in front of the village and take the leader's head!
The black shadow volleys in the sky, covering the moonlight.

The mad knife slashed furiously, his eyes were like blood.

The sparrow roared, and its evil spirit soared into the sky.

Fasheng's right side became numb, and he reluctantly pulled out Jiedao with his left hand to try to parry; countless swords, guns, swords and halberds pierced Zhao Changhe's body;

If there is a painter here, it should be fixed as a picture scroll of gods and demons.

"Crack!"

The piercing sound of weapons sliding resounded through the night sky.

Jie Dao inexplicably failed to block the knife, and the dragon sparrow seemed to slide over, and a bloodstain inexplicably appeared on Fasheng's forehead. Aren't gods and Buddhas scattered?

Is it an awkward swordsmanship?

A long spear brushed against Zhao Changhe's ribs, bringing up a stream of blood.

Zhao Changhe walked like a wave, avoiding the other two saber lights grazing his neck very delicately, and swiped back with the saber, the gunman's head flew up, and blood gushed wildly.

"Woo!" Following the whole body whistling, there was a loud sound of hooves on the side, and a black horse with white hooves came through like electricity.

Zhao Changhe fired another shot, and suddenly kicked another general's chest, flew sideways, leaped several feet, and just landed on the horse.

Wu Zou shouted and screamed, and walked away in the night.

Countless arrows shot from behind, Zhao Changhe sideways turned back the knife and pushed aside a few arrows, then laughed and went away: "Ten dwelling Bodhisattvas sell their heads, Maitreya's army is nothing more than this! There will be a period later!"

"Boom!" Flames rose from the lake, and the boat that had been set on fire sank completely into the lake.

The whole army village was in chaos.

"Master Tang, why are you walking around here?"

"I'm restless." On the Gusu city wall, Tang Buqi walked up and down and looked at the guards who divided the areas into separate battles: "Will Fasheng attack at night?"

"You're overthinking. Fasheng just entered Wuxing yesterday. He only has a few pioneers. He has to wait for the main force to join up."

"...However, these are the only people who entered Wuxing, and they didn't wait for the main force from Hangzhou to come over."

"Maitreya's disciples broke through the important town and played with women for a few days without burning, killing and looting? How could they come directly..."

Tang Buqi paced back and forth, still uneasy, turned around and asked Wu Weiyang: "Auntie, do you have anything special to say?"

Wu Weiyang sighed: "Since the first seat is entrusted to you, the young master should be arbitrary. There is no reason to ask the first seat for everything. If these people are noisy, the young master should try to persuade... We are here, the young master is not fighting alone, we can give orders .”

Others sneered: "What if there is no one to attack?"

Tang Buqi was about to speak when a golden light flashed in the sky.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and looked up, the book of troubled times has been updated a little too frequently recently?
"On the seventh day of the sixth lunar month, Zishi. Zhao Changhe attacked the Taihu army stronghold at night, beheaded Maitreya's teaching ten abiding Bodhisattvas, who were born at the gate of the stronghold, and leaped back on horses. Maitreya generals could not be the ones."

"Change of Qianlong Ranking."

"Eighteen Qianlong, Zhao Changhe."

"The galaxy hangs in the sky, how can there be no me!"

Tang Buqi squinted at the people from other families beside him: "You said that the Taihu military stronghold was born, what is it for?"

Everyone looked at each other, opened their mouths, and closed them again.

Tang Buqi said in a low voice: "I'm still a bit short... When it's time, it's the stage for people like Zhao Changhe."

At that time, the Hu people went south to knock on the pass, Maitreya rose from the south of the Yangtze River, and the heroes will rise, and the world is in chaos.

The wind and the clouds are surging, and the dragons and snakes rise from the land.
