Outside the Great Wall, there is no more smoke and dust every day. Although Hu Qi is leaning on the mausoleum, the Han soldiers do not care about themselves. Ancient trees are filling the sky, and yellow clouds are worried about killing people.
——"Miscellaneous Songs and Songs·Five Poems from Jimen" by Gao Shi (Tang Dynasty)
…
In the first month of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 761), Liu Zhan's generals Zhang Jingchao and Sun Daifeng advanced to Hangzhou several times, but they never succeeded due to the stubborn resistance of Tang general Li Zangyong.
The rebel general Zhang Jingchao led his army to attack Hangzhou and defeated Li Zangyong's general Li Qiang at Shiyimen (Xishimen Town, Tongxiang City, ZJ Province).
The rebel general Sun Daifeng went south from Wukang (West Wukang Town, Deqing County, ZJ Province), planning to join forces with Zhang Jingchao and attack Hangzhou together. Tang general Li Zang used another unit to defend Wen Chao in a dangerous position and defeated Sun Daifeng;
Feng escaped and went to Wucheng (HZ City, ZJ Province). The rebel general Li Kefeng surrendered to Changzhou and surrendered to the Tang army.
On the 21st of the first lunar month, Bai Fu's troops were divided into four groups and launched a massive counterattack against Liu Zhan: Yang Huiyuan was ordered to lead 1,500 men to the west to attack Wang Xun who was entrenched in Huainan;
On the night of the 25th of the first lunar month, Bai Fu ordered Fan Zhixin and others to lead 4,000 people, cross the Yangtze River from Baisha (Yizheng City, JS Province) south, and attack Xia Shu (North Yangtze River Ferry, Jurong City, JS Province) westward.
Deng Jingshan was ordered to lead a thousand men to cross the Yangtze River from Hailing (TZ City, JS Province) south and attack Changzhou eastward.
Tian Shengong and Xing Yanen led 3,000 people to station in Guazhou (a small island in the Yangtze River south of YZ City, JS Province), preparing to cross the river south and directly attack Liu Zhan's army.
Liu Zhan gathered more than 10,000 people on foot and cavalry and formed an array at Garan Mountain (west of ZJ City).
On the 26th of the first lunar month, Tian Shen led his troops to cross the river, and the Tang army used ships to transport soldiers to Jinshan (a small island in the Yangtze River north of ZJ City).
Hundreds of large and small warships set sail, their flags covered the sun, and hundreds of companies competed with each other in a mighty and mighty way.
Liu Zhan was shocked when he saw the densely packed shadows of thousands of sailboats on the river.
Zhang Jingchao saw the sad look on Liu Zhan's face and comforted him: "General, don't be afraid. The god Usa Hachiman of my country arrived last night. He will take charge of Jinshan and he will definitely have a way to defeat the enemy."
Liu Zhan followed Zhang Jingchao's hand and saw a high platform built on Jinshan Mountain. On the high platform, there was an old woman wearing a fang mask, dancing and performing altar rituals.
Liu Zhan said in confusion: "Will the Japanese goddess cast a spell in our country and it will work?"
Zhang Jingchao chuckled and said: "In the battle of Yecheng, it was thanks to the magic of Usa Hachiman that Shi Siming was able to defeat the 600,000 cavalry of the nine military governors of the Tang army with 50,000 elites."
Before he finished speaking, something unimaginable happened. A strong wind blew up, blowing rows of dark clouds that covered the sky, making the originally sunny sky suddenly dark. Then a strong wind blew up on the river, and the waves were turbulent, and the waves stopped the boat.
In an instant, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the fog was locked in the cold river, making it impossible to tell what was close at hand.
This situation and scene were exactly the same as the Battle of Yecheng. The officers and soldiers of the Tang army were frightened.
Hundreds of sampans were rolled over by huge waves, and armored soldiers fell into the river one after another, feeding the fish and shrimp in the river.
The five largest troop transport ships among the Tang Army's ships were blown downstream of Jinshan Mountain by strong winds and ran aground on the shoal in front of Liu Zhanjun's formation.
The opportunity to annihilate the enemy was right under his nose. Liu Zhan was overjoyed and gave the order to launch an attack immediately.
Suddenly, a volley of crossbow arrows lit with kerosene was fired, and the arrows fell on the hull of the ship, quickly igniting the sails and decks... The five large ships instantly turned into a sea of fire, with blazing flames, like hell.
The soldiers of the Tang Army could only jump from the ship and charge to the beach with all their might.
Liu Zhan's army was lined with shields and spears, and he assassinated the poorly prepared Tang army soldiers one by one, encircling and suppressing them on the beach.
The soldiers of the Tang army fell down in rows, like ears of wheat harvested by sickles, falling in bundles in a pool of blood.
The river surface at the beachhead was dyed red with blood, and the blood-red river water lapped against the sand and gravel at the beachhead, making the river surface already full of fishy smell even more fishy.
Mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and ghosts in the world.
Seeing that the situation was over and he could not cross the river, Tian Shengong had no choice but to lead the rest of his troops back to Guazhou.
Usa Hachiman was so proud that he was about to cast a spell to pursue the victory when he heard the sound of breaking wind. A huge black bat flapped its wings and flew across the river at a speed unbelievable to the naked eye. The bat's wings brushed against the waves.
On the top of the wave, gliding across the sky.
The black bat circled, tiptoed the ground, and slowly landed.
This man's entire face was covered by a shaggy beard, his green eyes were deep and unpredictable, and his whole body exuded an indescribable and strange temperament. He was none other than the Manichaean Mingzun.
The god Usa Hachiman scolded the Manichaean Mingzun: "Mingzun, you are still haunted, what do you want to do?"
The Manichaean Ming Zun sneered and said: "You know why you ask.
Fu Yingshu was seriously injured by you, and the Chilong Seal has fallen into your hands. If you give it to me, we still have a chance to turn our hostility into friendship.
Your Japanese mission has been issued a document of arrest at sea by the Tang Dynasty court, and you no longer have the right to protect the special envoy. If you offend Bai Fu, a troublesome figure, your life and death will be in jeopardy.
If you join forces with me, you and the Japanese saint will not only be able to save your lives, but I can even help you disrupt the court and overthrow Li Tang.
If not, I will let you two die in a foreign country with separate heads."
God Usa Hachiman chuckled and said: "Mingzun has underestimated us Fuso people. I would rather die together than take advantage of you."
…
It turned out that since the Tai Chi Palace theft, the two of them had been chasing Fu Yingshu, who had stolen the Chilong Seal, from Chang'an to the East China Sea.
The Japanese country had a dense network of spies in the Tang Dynasty, and the information was extremely well-informed. The god Usa Hachiman found Fu Yingshu first, severely wounded him, and took back the Chilong Seal.
After obtaining the treasure, Usa Hachiman did not return to Japan, but immediately went south to secretly plan the Jianghuai rebellion. She sent Zhang Jingchao, the Tang envoy from Japan, to encourage Liu Zhan to rebel.
Today, Usa Hachiman was casting a spell on a high platform and his whereabouts were revealed, and he was immediately approached by the Manichaean Mingzun.
…
Without further ado, the Manichaean Mingzun said no more and slowly turned around, revealing the black armor on his back. The green-faced fang mask on the back of his head was eerie and terrifying, like a dark Shura.
The Manichaean Mingzun let out a low roar, with his five fingers spread out and his claws like hooks, completely blocking the advance and retreat route of Usahachiman God. His left foot drew a circle, and his right foot drew a square, from slow to fast, and his body rotated like a top.
Attack Usa Hachiman God.
God Usa Hachiman gave a sharp shout, gathered all his strength, and took advantage of the momentum of flying in the air to swing out the dragon's head and go straight to the head of the white-robed Shura.
The white-robed Shura drew a circle with his left foot and a square with his right foot. He turned around and the black-armored Shura took the fight.
The two men immediately fought together, their energy was surging, and the sounds of fighting could be heard endlessly.
Amid the strong wind and thunder, two human silhouettes rose and fell, as fast as the wind, and their attacks and defenses kept turning. The black and white Shura tops spun and alternated, making people dizzy.
After nearly a hundred rounds, Usa Hachiman gradually felt exhausted. Seeing the Manichaean Mingzun becoming more and more courageous as he fought, his killing moves appeared frequently and he struck without mercy. If the decline was not changed, today would be the day to die. In this extremely critical situation,
Usa Hachiman had to use his special skills.
Usa Hachimanshin gave a sharp shout, and his whole body shook suddenly, like a golden cicada peeling off its shell, throwing off the human skin coat of an old woman.
Under the rickety disguise of an old woman, Usahachiman's real face is ghastly and ugly, with a mustache between his lips and the bridge of his nose. Usahachiman's real body is shaped like an octopus, with eight tentacles densely covered with suckers all over his body.
Faced with the sudden change in front of him, the Manichaean Mingzun was dumbfounded. Could it be that Usahachiman is an octopus that became a spirit?!
The next scene is even more incredible.
Usa Hachiman bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of demon blood onto the old woman's skin.
The mottled skin of the old woman was like an inflated sheepskin raft. It grew in the wind and instantly grew into a giant nearly two feet tall.
The giant has a strong body, big shoulders and round waist, fat body, and heavy and trembling fat is piled up all over his body, like a walking mountain of meat.
The giant's costume is very simple. He is completely naked and only wears a "crotch cloth" around his waist to cover his lower body. He is actually a giant sumo wrestler.
A hole suddenly opened in the giant sumo wrestler's head. Usa Hachiman fell from mid-air, and rushed into the giant sumo wrestler's head from the Baihui Point on the giant's head.
The sumo wrestler's head is like a cramped and narrow house. Usa Hachiman is sitting on a chair in the room, with eight tentacles with suction cups tightly sucking the inner wall of the head.
After Usa Hachiman entered the giant sumo wrestler's head, the sumo wrestler shook his head as if he came to life, like a giant marionette.
Every time the tentacles wave, the giant sumo wrestler's legs and feet will follow suit, punching, swinging legs, rolling, throwing over the shoulder...
Although sumo wrestlers are huge in stature, they are agile, can dodge, and move neatly, just like ordinary people.
After the debugging was completed, Usa Hachiman shook his head and smiled ferociously at the short Manichean Mingzun at his feet.
Before the Manichaean Mingzun could react, the giant sumo wrestler launched an attack. He kicked off the ground with his thick calves, and with a "boom, boom, boom," he pushed the golden mountain and the jade pillar, and rushed towards him like a small mountain.
