Zhang Xianzhong had been staring at General Li's seat. Li Zicheng knew this very well, and he felt bad when he thought about it.
In Mianchi City, Tie Mo did not react strongly to the rogue bandits increasing their troops in Lu's County, as if they had known for a long time that the rogue bandits would increase their troops. Hum, if the rogue bandits can increase their troops, can't the Northern Shanxi Army also increase its troops? Lu
The more troops and horses there are in Shi County, the better. This will make it easier to complete the victory in one battle. The decisive battle can be started directly near Lu Shi County with most of the rogue soldiers and horses, so as to avoid trouble later.
Li Yanke had been looking forward to the Northern Shanxi Army attacking Lushi County. Now that he had many soldiers and generals and sufficient food and grass, was he still afraid of others attacking the city? Unfortunately, the Northern Shanxi Army made no movement at all, as if it was content to occupy Mianchi City.
On this day, the strong wind stopped, and many rogue soldiers were sitting on the top of the city basking in the sun. Each of the rogue soldiers was lazy. The officers and soldiers were not attacking the city, and they had nothing to do. Let's take a look at the scenery, although I don't know what to see.
Yes, but what else can you do besides this?
It was just after midnight, and the sun was already high. The sunlight was in bunches, shining on the earth like strips of light. In the distance, the mountains of Funiu Mountain were undulating, and the scenery was beautiful. In the quiet beauty of the warm sun, a voice suddenly broke the tranquility,
A rogue soldier screamed, and then stood blankly behind the battlements. His mouth was open, his eyes were wide open, his left hand was back, his right hand was raised, and his arm was stretched flat, and his right hand was still beating.
Shivering, "alive...alive...it's Buddha, it's Buddha. Look, Buddha has appeared!"
There was a scream, and many people looked in the direction the man was pointing. In the blink of an eye, there was a cry of exclamation on the top of the city, and then many people were heard gasping. Some people even put their hands on their chests and screamed.
He looked like he couldn't believe it. A few dozen feet east of the city wall, an eminent monk wearing cassocks sat on the ground. The eminent monk was motionless, with his hands clasped together and his eyes slightly closed. The age of the eminent monk could not be seen. He only looked at
You can see the two white eyebrows hanging down to the neck.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew. This strong wind was very strange. It only circled around the eminent monk, but there was no sense of wreaking havoc on the city. A black smoke slowly wrapped around the eminent monk, like a demon. Gradually,
On the ground, a shadow formed by black smoke appeared. The black smoke looked like a woman, but the woman had no legs and feet, only a long tail.
She is the Witch of Luohe, she is definitely the Witch of Luohe. The legend of the Witch of Luohe has been passed down by the bandits since childhood. Sometimes when they are disobedient, the older generation will use the witch to scare people. Legend has it that the Witch of Luohe has no face, only black.
Huhu shape, she looks like a human, but has a tail. She seems kind, but she swallows all living creatures. The black figure gets bigger and bigger, then expands, and pounces towards the eminent monk on the ground.
Hiss, the rogue soldiers on top of the city were so nervous. Will the monk be swallowed by the witch? Apparently, they were worried too much. Just when the black shadow was about to touch his body, there was only a "唔" sound, and all around the monk suddenly burst out.
Thousands of feet of golden light emitted, and the light was dazzling. Some of the golden light even hit the top of the city, reflecting the shocked faces of the rogue soldiers. The eminent monk had an extra thing in his hand, and the mountain looked like a pagoda. This was not for
Is it the Daesangguo Temple pagoda that suppresses witches?
The pagoda of Daxiangguo Temple was not built after the establishment of Daxiangguo Temple. It is a legendary magical weapon that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is said that the pagoda can suppress thousands of evil spirits in the world. Who can own the pagoda?
Who is the god, and everyone must surrender to him. No matter how unreliable this legend is, there are many believers among the people, especially in the Central Plains.
When the pagoda came out, the black shadow gradually disappeared. But what shocked everyone was that after the black shadow of the Luohe Witch was taken away, the eminent monk sitting on the ground also disappeared. Now many rogue soldiers shouted, and some
He was already kneeling on the ground and crying, "Buddha, you can't leave, enlighten your people!"
Some people are really superstitious, to the point of being extremely superstitious. Li Yan was chatting with a few leaders when suddenly his own soldiers barged in and said, "Leader Li, the Buddha has appeared... The Buddha has appeared outside the venue.
Just now, the Buddha used a pagoda to take away the Luohe Witch. It is a pagoda... Mr. Li Yan, it is really a pagoda. If you don’t believe it, you can go and have a look. Everyone on the top of the city saw it."
The soldiers were so excited that they couldn't speak a few words, but the general meaning was still understandable. Pagoda? Buddha? Luohe Witch? What the hell, Li Yan and the leaders naturally didn't believe it. Buddha appeared.
Are you kidding me? It has been many years and I have never heard of the Buddha appearing anywhere. Could it be that the people from the Maitreya Sect are pretending to be gods?
Li Yan hurriedly came to the city wall. Hearing what the soldiers at the top of the city said so confidently, he believed half of it. However, he was a little confused. Why did the pagoda appear so strangely? Could it be a conspiracy of the officers and soldiers?
Right? Just when Li Yan was hesitant, someone screamed again on the top of the city. This time, Li Yan could see it by himself without anyone else telling him. He just glanced eastward and was stunned immediately. Just at Lu
A thousand-foot-long golden light suddenly shot out from the Guima Slope two or three miles east of Shi County. Is this really a Buddhist pagoda? The golden light is shining all over the place, which means that the pagoda is shining the light of Buddha on the world.
The trick of the Northern Shanxi Army? Improbable. Such a golden light is a miracle. No matter how talented the officers and soldiers are, can they create this ten thousand feet of golden light? Without hesitation, Li Yan called a few soldiers and asked them to go out of the city to Guimapo to investigate.
After the soldiers left, everyone from Li Yan to the ordinary soldiers were waiting anxiously. About a quarter of an hour later, several soldiers came back on horseback, "Leader Li, the golden light did come from Guimapo. As for the
We were unable to search carefully for the holy relics because... because Chen Pei also led people towards Guaimapo, we were afraid of something happening, so we hurried back."
Chen Pei is also here? Li Yan knows Chen Pei. Since Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Keqi left one after another, this person has become the number one general under Zhang Xianzhong.
Li Yan couldn't help but be surprised. If Chen Pei snatched the sacred object and presented it to Zhang Xianzhong, it would be very bad. Regardless of whether the legend is true or not, the key is that some people believe this thing. Now Chuang
Wang Gao Yingxiang was captured and probably would not survive. The rebel army was about to elect a new King Chuang. If Zhang Xianzhong was allowed to obtain the pagoda, wouldn't it be detrimental to General Li?
Li Yan hesitated, but others did not. Several leaders came forward and said, "Leader Li, please give the order quickly. The holy relic pagoda must not fall into the hands of Chen Pei, otherwise General Li will be blamed. No one else can bear it."
Get up."
After being made noisy by a group of people, Li Yan couldn't bear it any longer. He immediately ordered a leader to lead thousands of people out of Lushi County. On Guima Slope, Li Yan's soldiers and horses and Chen Pei's people
They bumped into each other. Naturally, the two sides had nothing to say. No matter what Chen Pei said, others would not believe it. Everyone from Li Yan to ordinary soldiers regarded Chen Pei as an uninvited guest who came to rob the pagoda.
Chen Pei was so unjustly accused that he started a fight with Li Yan's soldiers and horses in a confused manner. Guimapo was a small place and could not be deployed at all. The two sides fought for a long time before they remembered that the pagoda had not been confiscated. Chen Pei also
He is not a fool. Although he initially just led the troops to go around in circles according to Zhang Xianzhong's order, now that he knows the existence of the holy object, he must snatch it.
There were sounds of killing in Guimapo, but when the fierce battle ended, the golden light disappeared, and the pagoda was naturally nowhere to be found. Li Yan's soldiers and horses returned to Lushi County dejectedly, and Chen Pei also led his men to run away in disgrace.
Now. Li Yan has his own doubts, which is why Chen Pei appeared in Guimapo?
The failure to find the holy object was a very depressing thing for the bandits in the city. Many people sighed, but only a dozen soldiers gathered around a fire and muttered something.
April 14th was another sunny day. On this day, we were still guarding the city as usual. However, no one could forget what happened yesterday. The legends of the past were happening little by little in front of our eyes. Everything was so real. No.
At noon, the top of the city became restless again. The Buddha appeared again on the ground not far away. He appeared out of thin air and sat on the ground. The Buddha's body slowly rose into the air. His posture was ethereal and elegant. At the same time, the surroundings were surrounded by Buddha.
I also thought of the wavy Sanskrit sounds.
I don't know who it was, but he knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "Buddha appears, Buddha appears!"
Not even knowing who opened the city gate, many people rushed out and knelt down devoutly. When Li Yan learned about the situation outside the city, it was too late to stop him, because many leaders also ran out and knelt down to worship the Buddha.
.
Li Yan almost wanted to vomit blood. Aren't these idiots afraid that the officers and soldiers would attack him at this time? At that time, they would not be worshiping Buddha, but risk their lives.
Everyone has faith, and no one would make fun of the sacred Buddha, but he happened to meet Tie Mo, who was the most disrespectful to the gods. The sand sculpture looked at the crawling bandit soldiers with dignity, but was very shocked in his heart. Superintendent
Does the method really work?
Of course, the fact that so many bandits came out of the city to worship was indispensable to the contribution of the Infernal Affairs members. If they had not led the way and shouted out of the city, the bandits would not have easily let go of the city gate. Li Yan wanted to stop the soldiers who were worshiping, but there was a voice
He kept telling him that he must not force himself, but must find a way. Forced force would easily arouse the resentment of the soldiers. Li Yan was thinking hard, but more and more bandits were worshiping outside the city. What was even more strange was that,
It was obvious that the Buddha was dozens of feet away in front of him, but he kept worshiping, and the Buddha was still so far away. Near noon, the scene finally changed. To the west of Lushi County, a group of soldiers and horses came slowly.
This army was dressed in black armor, holding its breath and concentrating, with an imposing manner.
At this time, the Buddha had a Mani Wheel in his hand, the Sanskrit sound sounded, and the Buddha's name appeared hoarse and solemn in the wilderness. He held the Mani Wheel in his right hand and pointed to the west of Lu County in the distance, "The devil is coming, soldiers
Fight the enemy bravely, and the heaven and earth will be clear!"
After the Sanskrit chant, the Buddha disappeared. I only saw a flash of golden light in front of my eyes, and a ball of flame burned in front of the Buddha. The flame disappeared, and the Buddha was gone. The Buddha disappeared, and the worshiping rogue soldiers immediately became confused. They were looking for the Buddha.
, just in time to see the black torrent coming from the warm sun in the western sky. It was the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers attacked, and several bandits shouted loudly, "Buddha said, officers and soldiers are all demons, we must kill the demons, Buddha will
Blessings will come."
The influence of the Buddha is huge. At least now, many bandit soldiers firmly believe in what the Buddha just said. So countless bandit soldiers formed a formation and went up to them. They even screamed at the top of their lungs, as if they were fighting with the devil.
Saint. When Li Yan saw the situation below the city, he stamped his feet angrily. No matter how much he shouted, the people below the city would not come back, "Idiot, idiot, why are you leaving the city? Quick, quickly mobilize troops to support outside the city, we must not let anyone go."
Officers and soldiers rushed over."
After listening to Li Yan's words, several leaders snorted in displeasure. The Buddha said that officers and soldiers are demons. It is only natural for us to destroy the demons. Originally, the leaders had some complaints about Li Yan's shrinking tactics.
, now that we have the words of the Buddha, we can rely on them even more.
Leader Li is just too timid. There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Lushi County, and the remaining infantry is no less than 40,000. Does the nearly 60,000 army need to be afraid of the officers and soldiers of Mianchi City? I heard that the cavalry of the officers and soldiers was too tired and had been sent back to Shannan Town.
It's a pass. If the 60,000 rebel soldiers are still cowardly in the face of 20,000 officers and soldiers, then don't fight in the future, just go home and feed the cattle and sheep. Of course, the leaders did not dare to say these words to Li Yan openly, but the execution
When the military order came, it was greatly compromised. Because of the laziness of these leaders, the rogue army soon collided with the army of the Northern Shan Dynasty.
Once the two armies clash, it will not be up to Li Yan to do whatever he wants. Nearly ten thousand troops are confronting the Northern Shanxi Army, and they have to fight if they don't want to fight. At this time, if he hastily orders the army to withdraw, whether those soldiers will obey is another matter.
The thing is, even the Northern Shanxi Army would not let go of the opportunity to pursue.
Li Yan cursed secretly that it was bad luck. He had been planning for so many days on how to consume the Northern Shanxi Army, but those ignorant people just ran out to fight against the Northern Shanxi Army. Li Yan also knew a little about the thoughts of those leaders.
Do you just want to have a fight with the officers and soldiers so that you can gain some credit? Of course, most people also feel that the cavalry of the Northern Shanxi Army does not have an opportunity to take advantage of it. Now there are obviously many more soldiers and horses in Lushi County than in Mianchi City, and there is indeed a reason
Be confident that you can defeat the officers and soldiers.
Since we want to fight, we must win. If we can't win if we have a numerical advantage outside the city, this will be a heavy blow to the morale of the rebel soldiers. Li Yan ordered five thousand elite soldiers to be transferred out of Lu County. At the same time, several
This leader also led an army of 20,000 people out of the city to join the battle. In a short period of time, the rogue bandits had gathered an army of 35,000 people outside Lushi County, while the Northern Shanxi Army only had a pitiful 15,000 people.
In this battle, Geng Zhongming was in charge of the central army, with Zhou Dingshan and Liu Qi on the left and right, and Shi Wengong as the leader. As soon as the contact began, the Northern Shanxi Army set up its formation. Geng Zhongming gave an order, and more than 3,000 people from Shang Kexi's command, who were at the forefront, gradually
Retreat and form an army with the left and right wings. The shield-hands are interlaced with each other. The entire full array is divided into more than a dozen circular formations. The shield-hands are outside and the spearmen are in the middle. This circular formation has been practiced by the Northern Shanxi Army countless times.
It has been used many times, so it is easy to use. One advantage of the circular formation is that it serves as the horns of each other and can effectively block the cavalry.
