Wang Po held his horse between his arms and held a sharp blade. In the blink of an eye, the enemy general's head fell to the ground.
"Soldiers! The enemy commander is dead, follow me and charge!"
The roars of Daliang's one hundred thousand elite soldiers shook the sky, and they massacred toward the Western Region military camp in a black mass.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The soldiers were in high spirits, in a brave state, and their eyes flashed with determination and ferocity.
Supplies arrived yesterday, and one hundred thousand soldiers were exhausted and bloodied. Today we launch a general offensive at the right time, place and people.
On the other hand, the soldiers in the Western Regions were leaderless and running around in all directions, without any fighting spirit.
Wang Po charged at the front, galloping on horseback and waving his sharp blade, blood splattered and stained his silver armor blood red.
There was a wide valley ahead, and he stopped his horse to signal to stop the pursuit.
"Ming Jin! Retreat your troops!"
The drums sounded, and the soldiers retreated. The Western Region Army, which fled into the canyon, breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down its escape.
Wang Po took his soldiers and hid in the dense woods one kilometer outside the canyon...
The valley is spacious, with flat hills above.
"Deputy Commander, let the soldiers have a rest..." A general from the Western Regions gasped and pleaded to the frowning Deputy Commander.
Originally, the Western Regions had the upper hand and recovered ten cities in a row. Today, they were supposed to invade Daliang in a battle. Unexpectedly, the Daliang soldiers were extremely ferocious, killing the Western Regions and retreating steadily, and they ended up in such an embarrassing situation.
The deputy commander ignored the general's suggestion, raised his head and looked at the surrounding mountains, his brows furrowed even more.
He suddenly thought of an extremely terrifying possibility...
"Boom boom boom!"
Suddenly, a dense army appeared in front of the valley, and countless rounds of gunpowder bombs came flying towards them.
"not good!"
"It's the Fire Gun Army!"
The deputy commander was shocked and turned pale.
He felt something unusual from the moment he entered the valley. At this moment, he finally understood why Wang Po gave up the pursuit.
This is a trap!
The Daliang Fire Gun Army is ambushing here!
Here is the tomb of the Western Region Army!
"Boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Dense firecrackers also appeared on both sides of the valley.
Wang Potian looked down at the panic-stricken Western Region Army, with a calm face, holding flags with both hands, and soldiers on both sides of the valley crossed to attack.
"There's an ambush! There's an ambush! Hide!"
The deputy commander called for the troops to take shelter, but in the wide valley, only the blind corners on both sides could escape the bombardment of the firecrackers.
But there is absolutely no way to hide an army of 200,000!
For a time, the Western Region Legion was in great chaos. All the soldiers gave up resistance and frantically searched for bunkers; they even threw away their weapons and took off their heavy armor in order to seize the bunkers; some even abandoned their comrades and hid in blind spots alone.
When Wang Potian saw this scene, he smiled mockingly and breathed a sigh of relief.
There are only 10,000 Fire Gun troops in front of the valley, and their melee lethality is weak. Once approached by the Western Region Legion, they will be easily eaten.
But the Western Regions were so frightened by the elite troops of Daliang that they even forgot that they had a total of 200,000 troops.
After all, the blind spots in the bunker were limited, and tens of thousands of soldiers were reduced to ashes in the struggle.
The Western Region Legion, which has always been known for its bravery, was scattered into a ball under the bombardment of the Fire Gun Army.
"Soldiers, increase your efforts! Blast towards the blind corner!" Wang Potian accelerated the flag change.
Gunpowder bombs fell densely in the valley, even in blind spots.
The sounds of pain, wailing, and begging for mercy seemed extremely eerie in the quiet valley.
More and more soldiers fell down, and their bodies were piled up into a hill.
Fear and fear permeated the legions, and some troops had already raised white flags.
"Deputy Commander, what should we do?"
The deputy commander, who was hiding in the deepest corner of the blind spot, took a few deep breaths to keep himself calm. He looked at the fire gun army in front of him who continued to kill, and at the fire gun army in the sky above, his heart was trembling.
We must rush out, otherwise we will all die under gunfire.
"Ming Jin! Fight back! The Daliang Army has withdrawn its troops. We will withdraw first and discuss!"
In an instant, the Western Region Army scrambled to retreat, but as soon as they exited the canyon, Wang Po led his army to kill them.
The deputy commander was heartbroken and attacked from both sides. This is a trap!
"Soldiers, there is no way out! Fight to the death!"
The two armies collided again, but the disheartened Western Region army could not be a match for Daliang's elite.
Within a few hours, Wang Po forced the Western Region to re-enter the valley, and Wang Potian continued to kill!
The wind and rain are blowing, the cold wind is blowing, and there are enemies on all sides!
The entire valley is a Shura field.
The Western Region Legion is like a fish on the chopping board, and the elite soldiers of Daliang are like sharp swords!
The mountain wind howled and the long sword came out, the enemy invaders were defeated and staggered away!
The sky is getting dark, the Western Regions are deserted and fleeing, and Daliang Mingjin withdraws his troops.
In this battle, Daliang killed no one in the Western Regions!
Night, military camp.
The three armies are enjoying themselves by the bonfire, enjoying wine and barbecue!
Inside the military tent, Wang Potian and Wang Po were lost in thought while staring at the military map.
For a long time, the two looked at each other and nodded to each other.
"Send military orders and spread the news of the great victory in the Western Regions, the defeat of Daliang, and the tight fighting on the front lines..."
Wang Po ordered the deputy general, and then his eyes fell on Wang Potian: "Tonight, the Fire Gun Army will penetrate the northwest road and join forces with the northwest governor Wu Jie..."
"The Western Regions will not dare invade in the short term. I will leave behind a cover-up and lead the elite back to the capital..."
That night, Wang Po and Wang Potian's soldiers retreated from the front line in two groups...
……………………
The next morning, go to Fengtian Palace.
The officials are all in panic. Yesterday, the capital city was thoroughly investigated, and no one related to the Holy Religion was spared.
Zhou Heng went out to report: "Your Majesty, all the main members of the Holy Cult except the saints and the Holy Lord are being held in the Ministry of Punishment. Those who refuse to withdraw from the Holy Cult have been captured..."
"Continue the search! The whole city will be scrutinized! Anyone related to the Holy Religion will be imprisoned in the sky prison and guarded strictly by the Royal Forest Army!"
Zhou Heng stepped down and Li Mao stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, after the Yumen Tower incident, the number of followers of the Tianhua Sect increased sharply. I have written down the specific number of followers. Most of them are followers of the original Holy Sect."
"In this capital city, the Tianhua Sect is the dominant family, and its influence is gradually spreading throughout the country..."
Zhu Youde nodded, it was not in vain that he would bring the beauties from the harem out of the palace, so that the people of the whole capital could admire the beauties.
"Continue to teach, unify the Daliang religion as soon as possible, appease the people, and avoid unrest."
"The Royal Forest Army, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment will continue to examine the remnants of the Holy Religion and withdraw from the court!"
In Yangxin Hall, Li Renjie has been waiting for a long time.
"Your Majesty, this is the antidote to the Nourishing Heart Pill." Li Renjie handed over a brocade box.
Zhu Youde opened it, and a refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils, and his mind suddenly felt relaxed.
"This is the Qingshen Pill. It was developed by the old imperial doctor of Tai Hospital and the medical-savvy guards from the Jinyi Guards. After experiments, the effect of the Heart-Controlling Pill can be relieved..."
Zhu Youde couldn't help but smell it twice more. It was much more effective than the previous antidote.
"Very good! If you need any materials, go directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask for them, and create enough Qingshen Pills as soon as possible."
"Jinyiwei is responsible for examining the Holy Cult believers who are imprisoned in the heavenly prison. If they are accused of being controlled by the Heart Pill, they will be found innocent, given the Qingshen Pill, and released without charge."
"Those who actively join the Holy Cult and refuse to withdraw, core members of the Holy Cult, core backbones, etc., will all be beheaded after being found out, and their heads will be hung on the castle tower!"
Li Renjie took the order and left, passing by Wang Zhonghou who came in.
Wang Zhonghou handed over a secret letter: "Your Majesty, there has been movement between the two generals..."
