Chapter 66: The Taoist priest fails and Zhong Sheng takes action(1/2)
"Fellow Daoist Li, I am ashamed, I am ashamed."
Monk Ming was sincere and admitted his failure.
He let go of his hand, and the wound on his forehead quickly healed and shrank, turning into a thin line that was too thin to be seen.
Li Qingfeng said calmly, "The Tang Dynasty is like the rising sun, steaming upward, morale is high, and the soldiers and generals are united."
"On the other hand, Zheng's army was defeated again and again, and the morale of the army was scattered, so there was an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"Your skills are good enough to deal with Zheng Jun, but not enough when used against Tang Jun."
He finally concluded, "When a dynasty is first established, ghosts and gods surrender. Only when the country is about to perish will evildoers emerge in large numbers."
"As practitioners, you and I should take stock of the situation as our top priority."
When the monk heard this, he clasped his hands together and said, "I have been taught."
However, how to persuade General Lu to give up the plan?
"I once served as the county magistrate here, and I know all the defenses in the county."
Li Qingfeng said calmly, "As long as you enter the camp alone and give some advice, General Lu will have a way to capture the city. There is no need to dig a dike."
"Good idea."
Monk Ming sighed.
Li Qingfeng said to Monk Min, "You are injured and should not be exposed to the wind. Please wait here for my news."
"Brother Zhong, please accompany me for a walk."
Zhong Sheng nodded and asked the ape and the little donkey to stay.
On the way, Zhong Sheng asked Li Qingfeng if he was completely sure.
Qingfeng Li shook his head, "No."
I acted confidently just now so that I wouldn’t lose in front of the monk.
Okay, take it one step at a time.
Hmm!
The two came to the camp and announced their homes, but were rejected.
"The former county magistrate is not recognized by this court, so you can retreat on your own."
"If a large army attacks the city, it will accidentally injure innocent people. Don't let the idle people get close."
"If you don't stay, you will be punished as a spy, and you will be sent to the city to attack the city and dare to die."
Uh?
The camp door was closed tightly, and the Tang soldiers with bad expressions were on tight guard.
Qingfeng Li looked slightly embarrassed and quickly explained to Zhong Sheng, "It must be the person who reported it. He didn't explain clearly."
"How about calling again?"
He picked up a few leaves, pricked a grasshopper at random, blew a breath, flapped his green wings, and floated into the air.
But I saw grasshoppers crossing the camp gate fence and flying into the depths of the camp.
Whoosh!
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and a sharp arrow shot up from the ground, piercing the grasshopper and causing it to fall to the ground.
Failed again.
The camp is set up and is heavily guarded. Not even a bird can fly in without notification.
Li Shenhan's home.
A group of people gathered around an old clay pot and were cooking a pot of wild vegetable porridge mixed with wild sunflower and barnyard grass.
Li Qingfeng and Monk Min frowned, this matter is not easy to handle!
General Lu is so insecure that they can't even see each other, so even his eloquent words are of no use.
"County magistrate, master, it's time to drink porridge."
There were people walking over with a limp and a dog's legs.
"No, you eat first."
The two talked in low voices, but Zhong Sheng did not come back together, saying that he wanted to inquire about news near the military camp.
However, this is very dangerous and can easily be driven away or killed as a spy.
Li Qingfeng sighed, "The evil spirit in the military camp is so strong that it restrains those of us who practice the most."
Breaking into the camp in the body is the most dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you will end up like Li Shenhan.
Time waits for no one. If it continues to be delayed, the city will be flooded, and countless people will be killed and injured.
"Monk, do you have a blue body to protect you and a strongman to accompany you?"
Monk Ming shook his head and said, "The young monk's cultivation is still shallow and he has not yet grasped the wonderful method."
Taoist Li sighed sadly, "If I had a Taoist soldier's talisman, why should I be so tied up?"
While we were talking, the surrounding villagers were unbearably hungry and thirsty, eating vegetables and porridge.
……
"You want to join the army?"
In front of General Lu's camp, several soldiers looked at Zhong Sheng in surprise.
"Exactly."
Upon hearing the accent, Guanzhong Township Party members are particularly friendly.
Immediately, someone removed the deer antlers and opened a side door, "Come in!"
Zhong Sheng entered the military camp, looked around, and immediately asked, "I heard that you are under General Lu. I want to see him."
"You have such a bad tone, you will try to climb the general's high tree as soon as you come here."
The veterans laughed and thought he was a young boy, "How many kilograms do you have?"
Zhong Sheng couldn't figure out what he was really capable of. He looked around and saw several bows beside him.
"Don't try. These bows are used by warriors with divine power. No one will draw them after death."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Sheng stacked several bows, grabbed the bow strings and pulled, snap, and several bow arms broke at the same time.
"Too crispy."
There was silence all around!
"And these rocks."
Siege requires a trebuchet, which requires mining rocks and polishing them into stone projectiles of specific shapes and sizes.
There are rocks of different sizes in the camp, quarried from the mountains.
The largest rocks require dozens of strong men to drag them, and roll logs underneath to pull them all the way into the camp.
"Young students, don't mess around."
Seeing Zhong Sheng walking towards the largest rock, it was three people tall and looked like a small mountain.
The veterans from his hometown hurriedly advised him that they had experience and if he used force, he would most likely die from a burst of blood.
More and more soldiers came around to watch the fun, and cheers and cheers came one after another.
General Lu heard the commotion and came out surrounded by several generals.
"Oh, it's moving, it's really moving."
"Hurry up and tell him to stop. If you can move a huge boulder, you are already an unparalleled warrior. This is a talent that should not be discounted lightly."
"I have never seen such divine power in my life. It is truly a heavenly being!"
General Lu was curious, so he separated from the crowd and saw Zhong Sheng with his arms inserted deep into the rock and his body covered with stone powder.
His feet sank into the ground and he pushed upward inch by inch. The boulders rumbled and swayed back and forth.
It should be noted that the boulder has been sitting there for a long time and has already sunk into the soil. If it is pulled out by force, the ground will definitely be shaken.
As a result, the ground of the camp shook slightly, and the onlookers' feet were numb from the shock.
What surprised them even more was that Zhong Sheng was able to lift a huge boulder into the air that only dozens of people could move by himself.
"What a strong man."
General Lu cheered loudly. He could tell at a glance that such a strong man was the material for an unparalleled general to charge into battle and attack cities and camps.
"Call him to me quickly."
Zhong Sheng threw down the boulder, rubbed his hands, and came to General Lu.
General Lu looked Zhong Sheng up and down and nodded with satisfaction, he is a good soldier.
