Rebirth of the Great Desolation: I am Red Cloud

Chapter 172 Test each other
Under the way of heaven, there are sages, who are beyond life and death, above the laws of the way of heaven, the indestructible existence of chaos, but the saints can't do whatever they want, since they live under the way of heaven, they need to comprehend the changes of the way of heaven, follow Walk in the way of heaven and maintain the way of heaven without damage before you can live and work in peace, and each saint needs to maintain the foundation of his way of proving the way according to his different ways of proving the way. The sages whose merits and virtues prove the Dao Hunyuan need to promote the luck of the great religion and guard the luck of the sect. If the luck of the great religion is lost, under the great imbalance of the way of heaven, there will be losses, and immeasurable calamity will arise, and the saint will lose his body In this place, the prehistoric luck will disappear, which will lead to the disaster of destroying the world, and the world will return to chaos again.

Hongyun proves the Tao Hunyuan with strength, and is a kind person, does many great acts of kindness, has many merits, does not kill three corpses, does not establish a great teaching, and is not disturbed by his own obsessions. Naturally, the realm is promoted the fastest. In this way, we truly comprehend the laws of operation of the Dao of Heaven. No matter how the Dao of Heaven changes, the fundamentals are still in Hong Yun's comprehension. Therefore, Hong Yun tried his best to suppress it when the West could not teach the balance of the Dao of Heaven and squeezed the luck of the Eastern Dao. The strong expansion of the Western religion, so as to maintain the balance of the luck of the Eastern and Western religions, maintain the balance of the overall luck of the prehistoric, and avoid the loss of the way of heaven.

Hongyun’s suppression of Western religions was seen by Jieyin and Zhunti as a combination of Eastern Taoism to oppress the weak, depriving Western religions of development space, and not wanting to let themselves further understand the way of heaven. If there is suppression, there will be resistance. Since you Hong Yun asked the Bull Demon King to block the passage from the west to the east, and set the rules of the game. Well, I will continue the game according to your rules, and let the disciples under the sect compete with your disciples. In order to promote the spread of great religion, war is used to determine the ownership of luck.

Jieyin and Zhunti reached an agreement, and the entire Western Church was mobilized. Millions of devout believers were divided into countless ethnic groups. There are nearly a million disciples of the Western sect in the ethnic group. These disciples are the pioneers who are going to seize the pass in Cuiyun Mountain, and are the main force in the battle with the Eastern Taoist sect. Soon these ethnic groups that migrated to the junction of the two continents are in the west. With the support of the religion, settlements began to be built around the tall city wall built by the Bull Demon King. Cities sprang up one after another, and finally became a whole, becoming a country with Western religion as the state religion. In the empire, Jin Keluo, the patriarch of the Bolomon clan in Hezhou, Xiniu, was designated by Zhunti as the ruler, and he adopted a political philosophy. Under the training, his strength increased greatly, and he advanced from a bodhisattva to a Buddha. This time, he was sent out by Zhunti to become the national teacher of the Great Indian Empire, and the nearly one million disciples of the Western religion all changed their identities and became the masters of the Great Indian Empire. The generals and soldiers in this country, while defending the country's security, are accumulating strength and preparing to attack at the right time, grabbing the city wall built by the Bull Demon King, occupying the leading land in the east, and spreading the teachings to every corner of the prehistoric world.

On the Nanzhan Buzhou side, Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty obeyed the order of Lao Tzu and the sage, and personally led 30 troops into the city wall built by the Bull Demon King, replacing the hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers in Cuiyun Mountain. A huge city wall named Hangu Pass was guarded day and night to prevent the Western Great Indian Empire from crossing the thunder pond. The Bull Demon King was respected by the Tang Dynasty as the national teacher, leading hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers, retreating to Cuiyun Mountain, secretly Aiding the Great Tang Empire to hold on to the city, so the protagonists of this battle of luck were hidden behind the scenes, and it became a struggle between two countries. Although both parties knew what was going on, no one challenged it. Layers of window paper, through the continuous efforts of both sides, under Cuiyun Mountain, on both sides of the tall and majestic Hangu Pass, two huge countries, like dormant giant beasts, are silently preparing.

To the west of Hangu Pass is the front line where the Great Indian Empire is preparing to attack Hangu Pass—Yinlian City. The distance between the two cities is only more than a hundred miles. Every day before sunrise, both sides will send a group of eight teams of scouts After some inspection, the scouts on both sides just wandered within fifty miles of their own side, never crossing the boundary, never entangled with each other, and there was no friction. After sunrise, these scouts would return to the team. At this time, The second group of teams will gather out of the city and continue to patrol. However, today is extremely weird. The sun has already risen, and none of the scouts from the eight teams has returned. This makes Hanguguan's coach Li Dingbang feel that It is very strange that the military order is like a mountain, and the army of the Tang Dynasty is very strict. If there are no special circumstances, these scouts will never dare to violate the military order. Then, these scouts must have been attacked. Thinking of this, Li Dingbang hastily sent an order. The scouts went out to patrol, and the whole army began to assemble, to prepare for the battle, and arrange these things. Li Dingbang still felt that it was not safe enough. For more than ten years, the Western Indian Empire had not launched a war. , It will be an extremely fierce and fierce battle. I am afraid that it will be difficult to defend the Hangu Pass by myself. I still need the National Teacher to come and give me some support.

The resounding sound of bugles resounded through the entire Hangu Pass. Dozens of scout teams rushed out to inspect the situation, and hundreds of thousands of sergeants in the pass also moved, divided into several groups, and waited for the battle. When the soldiers in batches climbed to the city wall of Hangu Pass, they heard the sound of rumbling and galloping outside the city, and the boundless flow of people rushed towards Hangu Pass like a tide. There were hundreds of thousands of them. Sergeant, the Great Indian Empire has finally started to attack Hangu Pass. Before Li Dingbang could react, dense arrow feathers fell towards the city wall. The moment the arrow feathers volleyed in the sky, the sun in the sky was covered. The soldiers of the Tang Kingdom, before they had time to prepare, were nailed to the city wall by the arrow feathers. Blood gushed out like a spring, and instantly filled the entire city wall. Such a brutal killing made the soldiers of the Great Tang Kingdom panic. at a loss.

"Don't be chaotic, the first group set up shields and set up defenses on the city wall, the second group raised their bows and arrows, and fought back; the rest of the army took squadrons as units, ready to replace the injured brothers at any time.

"Li Dingbang's thick voice resounded throughout the pass, and one by one orders were spread to all armies with loud shouts. After all, he was a well-trained elite division. Although he was caught off guard by the enemy and suffered heavy casualties, it was only a moment During this time, the soldiers of each team reacted quickly under the restraint and guidance of their officers, and started an effective counterattack. Countless sharp arrows were shot from high places, piercing the bodies of countless attacking soldiers of the Great Indian Kingdom, causing However, the rain of arrows shot down by the Tang Kingdom in a hurry, not only failed to stop the attack of the Great Indian Kingdom, but inspired the bloodiness of these soldiers, and the speed of the attack was obviously much faster. However, after three or four sharp arrows were shot, the front team of the Great Yin Kingdom had already reached the Hangu Pass, and those with high mana could ride the clouds. A group of dozens of people quickly soared into the clouds and rushed to the city wall, like a tiger entering a sheep. Like a group, the small soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were killed had no power to fight back. These soldiers formed defenses and defended a gap, so that the soldiers under the city could come to the city from this gap. The lowly soldiers set up a ladder, held high a heavy shield, and faced the sharp arrows, rolling logs, and boulders that were constantly falling from the city wall, shouting, roaring, and walked up step by step without fear of death. As they got closer and closer to the top of the city, a huge boulder whizzed down, and it would be smashed to pieces of flesh and blood, and if one died, someone would immediately fill the vacant seat, repeating the same experience over and over again.

There are more and more soldiers from the Great Indian Kingdom rushing to the city wall, among them are many masters who are in the realm of Heavenly Immortals and Golden Immortals. It has already fallen into the situation of melee, but the passive situation of the Tang Dynasty has not changed. Li Dingbang, the commander in command of the whole army on the commanding platform, is watching closely the melee on the city wall. When some soldiers of the Great Indian Empire rose from the clouds, Li Dingbang felt that something was wrong. How could a soldier with such combat power be an unknown soldier? This Great Indian country is really despicable. It actually mixes masters of Jinxian and Tianxian levels with ordinary soldiers. Don't think about the purpose, it must be waiting for an opportunity to cut down the gate, and let the army outside the Hangu Pass come in to grab the gate. You are too underestimating me, Li Dingbang, but you can't let it go.

Li Dingbang is the nephew of Li Yuan, the lord of the Tang Dynasty. The trust of the Lord Li Yuan, otherwise he would not be allowed to garrison such an important pass. At this time, Li Dingbang saw that there were masters of Jinxian and Tianxian among the Dayin soldiers who attacked the city wall, so he knew that he wanted to defend the city and stabilize his position. These masters must be eliminated first, so Li Dingbang pulled the soldiers beside him and whispered in a whisper, and the soldiers got off the command platform and went to deliver the order.

After a while, dozens of small soldiers from the garrison of Tang State took advantage of the confusion on both sides and rushed into the battle. What they are holding is not a uniform spear or halberd, but a variety of weapons such as long swords, iron rods, and golden whips. Masters with the strength of celestial beings and golden celestial beings fought against each other, and they blocked the celestial beings and golden celestial beings of Great Yin Kingdom. These little soldiers were all dressed up by Li Dingbang's priests in the mansion, and all of them had the strength of golden celestial beings. At the most critical time, Li Dingbang would ask them to come forward to help.

After these sacrifices blocked the golden immortals and heavenly immortals of the Great Indian Kingdom and killed them, the combat power of the Great Indian Kingdom dropped all of a sudden. After being slaughtered, there were only dozens of golden immortals and celestial beings fighting against each other on the entire city wall. These celestial beings and golden immortals saw that there was no hope of robbing the pass, and the soldiers beside them were slaughtered, and they did not want to sacrifice in vain. After fleeing away, there was no living soldier of the Great Indian Kingdom on Hangu Pass. The situation was under control. Li Dingbang sent another order. The third and fourth batches entered the city wall in sequence. If the Great Indian army throws them at will, it is bound to prevent the Great Indian soldiers from entering the city wall again.

Since the surprise attack of the Great Indian Kingdom, the Great Indian Kingdom has always had the upper hand, and has always been suppressing the Great Tang Kingdom. The Hangu Pass was dyed red. After paying a huge price, the Tang Dynasty finally withstood the sneak attack of the Great Yin Kingdom and stabilized its position. It was just a passive situation and a heavy loss. Swallowing it down, Li Dingbang raised his eyes and saw that under the Hangu Pass, the Great Indian Kingdom, which had failed to attack, slowly retreated, but it did not retreat back to Yinlian City, but took three shots outside the Hangu Pass. Going down to the camp, it looks like this is going to continue this war for a long time. Today's attack is just a test in the future. This situation makes Li Dingbang laugh. If you fight once, you will retreat. I don't have an imperial order, so I don't dare to go out, but you put pressure on me around my Hangu, so that you can sneak attack at any time, but you can't make you proud, there is a way to come and not to be indecent, if you hit me, I will It doesn't make you feel better either.

Li Dingbang, who had made up his mind, immediately issued a commander-in-chief, leading [-] elite cavalry, carrying strong bows and crossbows, and rushed out of Hangu Pass like a gust of wind. , Skilled in controlling horses, especially good at horse riding and shooting, the cavalry of the brigade galloped up, with great momentum, Li Dingbang took the lead, and the defense area of ​​Great India was getting closer and closer, and they also knew about the great power of Tang Dynasty in this huge momentum. The counter-offensive started, and the huge shield for arrow defense was erected, and the archers and crossbowmen behind the shield were already ready, waiting for the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to enter the range.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer, the archers and crossbowmen of the Great Indian Kingdom calculated the range little by little, and a horn sounded, and when the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty entered the range of the crossbow and crossbow, a horn order to issue arrows to attack sounded. When he got up, the sergeant of the Great Indian Kingdom released the sharp arrows in his hands without hesitation, but just after these arrow feathers were shot, there was a scream from the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, and following the scream, they ran in a straight line The first Tang cavalry team was divided into two teams, and they marched towards the two sides of the Great Indian Defense Forces in a circular shape, so that the first wave of arrow feathers shot by the Great Indian archers were all in the air. The commander of the Great Indian Kingdom was taken aback, and hastily sounded the horn again, shifting the attack angle of the bow and arrow, but it was already too late, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty kept on fighting, but the body of the cavalry on the horse turned around, and the sharp arrow whizzed down at Gudu, with great force It was extremely large, piercing through layers of defensive shields, constantly harvesting the lives of soldiers.

After a wave of arrow feathers came down, the Tang iron cavalry did not stop there. The cavalry divided into two teams gathered together again, and when they met on the first day of the new year, they passed through like a performance, and another wave of arrow rain shot down. The commander-in-chief of the Great Indian Kingdom couldn't sit still, but after two waves of arrow rain, nearly ten thousand soldiers were killed. If they continue to be beaten passively like this, it won't take long for these elite soldiers after a hundred thousand pressure to die. After the losses were exhausted, the horn of attack sounded. Tens of thousands of cavalrymen rushed out from the camp of the Great Indian Army, wearing hard armor and holding strong bows, to shoot at the cavalry of Tang Dynasty. After that, the whole army was hurriedly ordered to retreat. After receiving the military order, the soldiers shot out the sharp arrows in their hands, turned their horses' heads one after another, and roared away as if fleeing. Seeing that the Tang cavalry was about to flee, the commander-in-chief of the Great Indian Army issued an order He beat the war drum and let the cavalry on his side follow behind to chase, but the commander never expected that when his cavalry just entered the range of the Tang cavalry, the Tang cavalry suddenly turned around and shot back arrows. The dense arrow feathers caused the cavalrymen of the Great Indian Kingdom to fall to their horses one after another, but there were only a few out of ten, and the losses were heavy. When the commander of the Great Indian Kingdom wanted to take another action, the cavalry soldiers of the Great Tang Kingdom had already roared away.
