For the monk soldiers in Moko City, they would choose to escape.
Zhao Tuo had already thought about it.
Therefore, Zhao Tuo had already divided up the right army and transferred it in batches to the back of Moko City.
At this time, it seemed that only Wu Tuizhi was behind Moko City. In fact, the right army had already ambushed there.
So when the monk soldiers in Moko City fled from behind the city, they thought they could escape as long as they broke through Wu Tuizhi.
The right army, which had been gearing up, immediately showed its military flag.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of troops on the right and more than two thousand of Wu Tuizhi's troops rushed towards the monk soldiers who were escaping in a hurry.
Although the monk soldiers still had the numerical advantage, they were the ones escaping after all.
Now, suddenly, countless enemy troops appeared.
The momentum collapsed in just an instant.
From an orderly escape, it turned directly into a disorderly escape.
Such a disorderly escape can only have one result, which is that these monk soldiers will die faster.
Standing on a high place, looking at the blazing fire behind Moko City, Zhao Tuo also knew that the monk soldiers in Moko City had fallen into his plan.
"fire!"
Following Zhao Tuo's order.
Xu Muzhi on the top of the mountain and the Italian artillery in the camp opened fire at the same time.
The artillery fire looked even more dazzling under the night.
One after another, the rune cannonballs, trailing long tongues of flame, hit Moko City accurately.
The gathered crowd made the cannonballs more powerful.
After dozens of rounds of shelling, Zhao Tuo issued the order to attack the city.
The gates of Moko City have been replaced countless times under continuous artillery fire.
Now the city gate was directly torn into pieces under the strong bombardment of artillery fire.
The central army and the left army, nearly 100,000 strong, under Zhao Tuo's order, directly launched a general attack on Moko City.
During these days, the army has been in a state of rest and recuperation.
There is plenty of food and grass in the rear.
There is no need to worry about being bombarded by artillery fire.
The army is recuperating and gearing up, waiting for this battle.
You must know that after the financial recovery of the Wu Dynasty, the rewards for killing enemies can now be cashed out.
After accumulating military merit, the meritorious service gained can also be cashed in.
Therefore, everyone in the army is eager for this battle.
Now finally we got the order to attack.
The soldiers, naturally, were like wild horses running wild, rushing towards Moko City desperately.
If you enter the city first, there will be rewards.
When the time comes, kill those monk soldiers and cut off their little fingers, which can be used as evidence to calculate military merit.
Faced with an overwhelming offensive, coupled with the panic of being cut off from their retreat.
The monk soldiers in Moko City became a mess.
Not all monk soldiers in Buddhist countries in the Western Regions are warrior monks.
Most of them are just ordinary people in the country under the control of Buddha Realm.
Although they believe in Buddhism, they are not warrior monks.
I don't have that firm belief.
When a crisis comes, they will still panic and think about saving their lives first.
Such a collapse would bring about a chain reaction.
From the top of the city, to the inside of the city, and then to the outside of the city, it really collapsed like an avalanche.
However, what Zhao Tuo did not notice was that under the attack of the large army, a small group of monk soldiers passed through the chaotic battlefield and went straight to the rear of the large army, Baijia City, to pursue them.
This small group of monk soldiers are all composed of real monks.
This is also the final arrangement for Arhat.
Supplying Arhat could naturally foresee that Zhao Tuo would ambush him behind Moko City.
The idea of supplying Luohan is also very simple, which is to take advantage of this chaotic situation.
He sent his most elite group of monks, led by another Arhat himself, and rushed directly to Baijia City.
Such a killing might not be able to kill Ning Chen directly.
But at least Baijia City can be conquered.
Caused huge losses to Baijiacheng.
In this way, the Western Region can also breathe a sigh of relief.
The plan to supply Arhat was successful.
Such a team of about a thousand people was in a melee with hundreds of thousands of people on the front battlefield.
It's really very inconspicuous.
Plus, they are all real warrior monks.
Walking through mountains and ridges all the way, it feels like walking on flat ground.
Soon they passed through the territory controlled by the Wu Dynasty army.
Heading towards the direction of Baijia City, they quickly killed them.
However, after they traveled dozens of miles, they encountered another army from the Wu Dynasty.
With almost no hesitation, this Wu Dynasty army turned around and retreated without fighting them.
The reason why we chose to retreat was because the commander of this army was Wu Jinzhi.
This previous vanguard camp, after Zhao Tuo arrived at the planned attack position.
The vanguard battalion was directly converted into a rearguard battalion.
Hiding behind the army.
Wu Jinzhi did not expect that the rear area should be very safe.
As a result, I actually encountered a group of warrior monks at this location.
This made Wu Jinzhi very depressed.
We had no choice but to continue to retreat. While retreating, we had to contact the camp in front and tell them that we were under attack here.
Zhao Tuo received the news from Wu Jinzhi and the others immediately.
This is also Zhao Tuo's request for the military.
During wartime, no matter who sends the message, it must be delivered to you as soon as possible.
As for whether this news is useful, it is up to you, the future owner, to judge.
After Zhao Tuo read the news, he immediately understood what Arhat was going to do.
Zhao Tuo directly ordered all his personal guards and temporarily handed over the command here to Xu Muzhi who returned to the camp.
This small force in the rear can pass through its own army without being discovered.
This shows their strength. As for the direction of their attack and where their target is, it goes without saying.
Zhao Tuo and his personal guards caught up with Wu Jinzhi and his group of monks from the vanguard camp only two quarters of an hour later.
When the two sides met, they started fighting directly.
This is much more enjoyable than Wu Jinzhi's.
Wu Jinzhi simply led his men to retreat without giving them any chance of contact.
Zhao Tuo brought people over, but they started fighting immediately.
It's just that the monk group is completely unable to defeat Zhao Tuo.
Because Zhao Tuo personally led the team, the third-grade Arhat on the opposite side could not be Zhao Tuo's opponent at all.
It only took less than half an hour to complete the entire battlefield, and the monk group consisting of a thousand monks was directly led by Zhao Tuo to kill them all.
"You have made great achievements this time." Zhao Tuo summoned Wu Jinzhi and said to Wu Jinzhi.
After hearing Zhao Tuo's words, Wu Jinzhi was still very cautious.
He felt that there seemed to be many things wrong with Zhao Tuo's words.
I should still very clearly refuse this opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
It's just that Zhao Tuo also knows who Wu Jinzhi is, and he still needs to go back and preside over the battle ahead.
Without giving Wu Jinzhi a chance to refuse, he returned directly to the front line.
Such a sniper battle lasted for five days before it ended.
In the end, he served Arhat and fled back to the core area of the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions with the remaining defeated soldiers.
Zhao Tuo did not give any order to continue the pursuit.
According to the previous plan, Zhao Tuo should lead his people to sweep other Buddhist countries in the Western Region.
After wiping out all other Buddhist lands, favorable conditions will be created for Mahayana Buddhism to take root.
The news of Zhao Tuo's victory also spread back to Ning Chen in real time.
At the same time, the settlement here at Ning Chen has also been completed.
After one wave, nearly five million reputation points were harvested.
After harvesting the reputation points, Ning Chen directly sent all the results of this and the previous battle back to Fengjing using the blue bird.
Of course, in addition to the battle situation, there are also specific details of the battle that must be reported to the Ministry of War.
After all, the next step is to discuss merits and do good deeds, and these need to be accurate.
It was at night when Wu Zhao received Ning Chen's blue bird.
Sun Banban came to Wu Zhao with the blue bird passed back by Ning Chen.
"Your Majesty, the champion has returned with news." Sun Banban bowed and said to Wu Zhao.
"Show it to me." There was no emotion in Wu Zhao's voice.
Sun Banban felt that Wu Zhao was really becoming more majestic.
During these days, the imperial censors and some ministers were present.
But Ning Chen was always talked about.
One of them is that the two sides have been at war for so long.
Ning Chen didn't even send back a single battle report.
This is really too much power to monopolize, and the imperial court is no longer in the spotlight.
Then the ministers and censors in the court targeted Ning Chen in various ways based on this point.
However, Wu Zhao has always been calm and calm in the face of these attacks.
No matter how the ministers and censors attacked, Wu Zhao remained unmoved.
Show strong trust and support for Ning Chen.
Now that Ning Chen finally sent back the first battle report, Sun Banban felt that he should be able to stop Yuyou from talking.
Of course, we also need to look at the battle achievements in the battle report to see how big they are.
Although Wu Zhao already knew a little bit, but now that he saw the battle report, his eyes were still bright.
Sun Banban stood on one side and knew that the achievements recorded in Ning Chen's battle report this time must be very great.
But how big it is, Sun Banban can only rely on guesswork.
Putting down the battle report in the blue bird, Wu Zhao said to Sun Banban: "Banban, you go and inform the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites to prepare rewards for the frontline soldiers.
In addition, notify the Ministry of Rites to prepare for Ning Chen’s enthronement."
Sun Banban couldn't help but take a breath when he heard that Ning Chen was going to be crowned champion.
This is such a great achievement that Ning Chen will be crowned the champion directly.
Duke is already the highest title that the Wu Dynasty can award.
If you go further up, you can only be granted the title of King with a different surname.
"If Banban wants to read it, just take it and have a look. This way, Banban will have a plan in mind when he goes to notify those departments." Wu Zhao handed the battle report to Sun Banban and said.
Sun Banban took the battle report from the blue bird with both hands.
After reading the first few lines, Sun Banban's breathing became rapid.
After reading it in one breath, Sun Banban's breathing had doubled.
Sun Banban simply couldn't believe that in more than a month, Ning Chen had done so many great things in the Western Region.
The second-grade Bodhisattva killed two bodies directly.
One of them was also physically maimed.
One of the most important Buddhist treasures in the Western Regions, the colorless alms bowl, was obtained by Ning Chen.
As for the monk soldiers from the 108 Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Regions, Ning Chen had killed seven or seven hundred and eighty-eight of them now.
Of the hundreds of thousands of monk soldiers, only tens of thousands may be killed now.
There is not one out of ten.
This is really miserable.
Now Zhao Tuo has started to sweep the 108 Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Region according to Ning Chen's order.
Now, except for the core area, the rest of the Western Region will soon become the territory of the Wu Dynasty.
With such merit, it is not an exaggeration to say that Feng Gong is true.
"Your Majesty, this old slave will go to the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War to discuss the matter of serving the Duke." Sun Banban returned the battle report to Wu Zhao with both hands.
Regardless of whether it is late at night or not, the officials from these three ministries are sleeping on that bed right now.
Such a big thing must be done.
Otherwise, when Wu Zhao announces his intention to serve tomorrow, the people below will not even be prepared at all.
If the emperor is unable to step down, these officials will have their heads on the ground.
Before Sun Banban went out, Wu Zhao stopped Sun Banban and said: "Banban, except for the three steps, this matter must be kept secret. Tell them, whoever dares to leak the secret, let me find out, and direct the Yijiu clan."
"Yes, I know."
Sun Banban naturally knew what Wu Zhao was thinking.
Sun Banban also felt that it was time for those old ministers and censors to learn a lesson.
Let them think that they can act unscrupulously in front of Wu Zhao because they have some rights to make suggestions.
Now we need to make them remember this lesson well.
Early the next morning, the atmosphere in the court hall was very strange.
Lu Gao from the Ministry of Revenue is still a tough Ning faction person.
Lin Dunxin continued to sit firmly in the Chinese military tent.
However, Lu Gao punched him and found that the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites were completely silent, not daring to say a word.
Wang Lin of the Ministry of War, who had been supporting Ning Chen along with him, was now ready to attack, waiting for the ministers and censors to attack at any time.
And Lu Gao could feel that Wang Lin was very excited at this moment.
This excitement is an excitement that suppresses the joy of victory.
Although Lu Gao didn't know what happened, he still stood by Ning Chen firmly.
Sure enough, after Sun Banban announced that something was going on, the censors and ministers who had been impeaching Ning Chen began to continue their usual talk.
All the blame and accusations were directly thrown to Ning Chen.
Anyway, in their eyes, Ning Chen is a traitor who will definitely rebel.
Ning Chen must be replaced at this time. Even if he is not replaced, Ning Chen's power must be weakened.
Otherwise, like now, no battle report will be sent back once a month.
He simply didn't take the imperial court seriously.
Just as Lu Gao was about to refute, he saw Wang Lin wink at him.
Lu Gao knew that Wang Lin was planning to make the first move.
So Lu Gao also gave up the first place to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin cleared his throat and said, "I received a battle report from the Western Region yesterday.
According to the battle report above, Champion Hou has led our Wu Dynasty army to conquer Moko City.
After killing hundreds of thousands of enemies, only ten monk soldiers in the Western Regions were left.
Now they can only hide in the core temple areas of the Western Regions such as Leiyin Temple.
The army is now executing the champion's plan to conquer step by step, conquering all the surrounding Buddhist kingdoms step by step."
After hearing the battle report given by Wang Lin, Lu Gao finally understood why Wang Lin was so strong and active today.
It turns out that I have obtained the latest frontline battle report.
It's just that Wang Lin didn't share this joy with his ally. This is really wrong.
After hearing Wang Lin's battle report, the censors and ministers supported by the clan felt as if they had been slapped.
In a war, the outcome will definitely speak for itself in the end.
Ning Chen didn't send back the battle report for a month, but once the battle report was sent back, it was such an explosion.
Then all their previous attacks would become a joke.
Before they had finished digesting the sap given by Wang Lin, Wu Zhao also spoke: "I also received the Blue Bird from the Champion Hou here yesterday, and the Champion Hou also said another thing.
The champion is in Baijiacheng, Hezhou, defeating the three second-grade Bodhisattvas of the Western Region, Daxing, Dazhi and Dawei.
The bodies of Da Xing and Da Wei were destroyed, and Dazhi was seriously injured.
At the same time, he also snatched the colorless alms bowl, a valuable treasure from the Western Regions.
The destiny of the Western Region suppressed by the colorless alms bowl has been destroyed by the champion."
If Wang Lin was a sap, what Wu Zhao said was really a bolt from the blue.
Although Wang Lin already knew about this matter first.
But when I heard Wu Zhao say it again, I was still very excited.
Ning Chen is a member of their military department, and he is also the master of military art.
What we are doing now is also marching and fighting.
Ning Chen made such a great contribution this time.
Their military department must also be proud of it.
Wang Lin unconsciously straightened his back a little more.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lin Dunxin, who was also in shock.
In such disputes, Lin Dunxin has always been firmly in charge of the Chinese military.
Now Wang Lin wants to see how Lin Dunxin can hold on.
After Lu Gao heard what Wu Zhao said, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
What Ning Chen did was simply too manly, a man among men.
This made Lu Gao couldn't help but tremble.
Of course, if Ning Chen were here, he would definitely knock Lu Gao unconscious with one punch.
Those censors and ministers who visited Ningchen.
It took him a long time to let go of the stagnant breath in his chest.
Ning Chen really didn't take any action, and once he did it was a big move.
They had not received any news about such a big move before.
The key is that all of these were actually made by Ning Chen.
"Even if the Champion has accomplished such a great feat, the fact that the Champion has accepted benefits and messed with the generals cannot be cleared away." A censor stood up and said.
Wang Lin laughed out loud when he heard what the censor said.
Wang Lin was waiting for someone to use this question to attack Ning Chen.
Now there are really people who dare to stand up and talk about this matter.
