The veteran has followed Guo Da for many years, and he is also proficient in the art of war, put on his horse, ordered the city gate to be opened, and led 20,000 elite soldiers to rush out. The soldiers and horses of the department are arranged in a wedge-shaped formation, and their own horses take the lead as the tip of the sword, and on both sides are heavy horses wearing heavy armor and riding strong horses.

Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were several confrontations with the northern barbarians with the army, and the northern barbarians were defeated.

The hooves of the 20,000 cavalry were like the wind, and a loess stream rolled away, castrating extremely fast, and slammed straight into Zuo Huairen's 50,000 forward army. There was also a commander among the rebel forwards, seeing that Peng Ze's defenders took the initiative to kill, seeing the formation they were arranged, after a little estimate, a slight sneer appeared on his face under the helmet, and he shouted: "Peng Ze's army is to take advantage of my unstable foothold, forcibly break through the formation of the army, and take advantage of the situation to intercept and kill." Don't you know that Lao Tzu wants you to do this, otherwise you won't be able to show Lao Tzu's way of using troops! Left and right, give orders to go down, meet with iron-clad pikemen, and the rest of the people will wait for the wings to protect and respond!"

As soon as the military order was given, the rebel strikers also changed their formations and changed into a state of hard collision and strong attack. The 50,000 soldiers and horses were scattered at first, but suddenly they were integrated, each performing its own duties, and became an iron plate. Veteran General Peng Ze saw that the rebels were on guard, and knew the plan, but the arrow was on the line, once the cavalry charged, it would be difficult to change the formation, unless the cavalry first broke through the enemy formation, and then slowly changed, thinking: "I have been with General Guo for more than ten years, and I have experienced countless battle formations, even if you are prepared, as long as I fight steadily, there will be no mistakes!" shouted: "Left and right, rush with me!"

One of the two men and horses was a spindle, the other was wedge-shaped, and they collided viciously together! Immediately, the people turned on their backs, the horses neighed, the knights roared, the spears and swords were staggered, and the light and shadow came and went. As soon as the two iron horses touched, many people fell from their horses, and under the trampling of ten thousand horses, they saw that they were not alive.

Guo Da held the city wall in his hand, watched the battle on the city tower, saw the rebel vanguard change formation, slapped the city wall fiercely and shouted: "It's not good! Guo Da instructed: "Even so, you must be prepared, you go and transfer 10,000 soldiers and horses, and respond at any time!"

Brother Ling Kang watched the battle in a remote place, and Ling Kang said: "Our army has fallen into the enemy's plan to lure the enemy, if we can resist its offensive and penetrate the enemy's formation, we will have the opportunity to regroup. Ling Chong looked at Brother Nai with admiration, and said, "Big brother is actually proficient in the art of war?" Ling Kang's face turned red: "I have fought a lot with the rebels in the past few years, and I have learned some in my spare time, you can see, the two sides are fighting, which side has a better chance of winning?"

Ling Chong took a look at it, frowned, and said: "The weapons and armor used by the rebels are very sophisticated, and there are many people, if the Ming side does not respond, I am afraid that it will not be good." The voice fell, and sure enough, the troops in the general's formation were concentrated in one place, and he wanted to chisel through the enemy formation, but he was like a headlong into a pocket, unable to attack for a long time, and was consumed by waves of enemy troops. After three drums and decline, morale was slightly low, and the enemy general saw that it was cheap, and waved the army to attack from the flank.

The dust was flying, the general of the year slashed with a big knife, killed a few soldiers, yelled and screamed, wanted to stabilize his position, but the enemy army attacked from the flank, regardless of life and death, his own formation gradually scattered appearance, if it is allowed to develop, I am afraid that in the end it will be powerless to return to the sky.

Guo Da saw that something was wrong, and shouted: "Order the army and horses to respond quickly!" The previous deputy general roared, led 10,000 elite soldiers out of the city in a hurry, and came from behind. When the rebel general saw it, he knew that today's plan had been sold, and he would accept it when he saw it, so he immediately ordered the formation to be retracted, and the generals were in one place, giving up the idea of eating all the generals in the general.

General Nian had backup to go out of the battle, and he was slightly determined, holding down the position, not daring to attack, but he did not dare to rashly turn the horse's head, and waited until the reinforcements and horses came up, and the two forces of men and horses converged before slowly retreating.

There have been many corpses left on the battlefield, mostly Ming soldiers, and there are many ownerless war horses standing quietly, and the horse's tail is swept continuously, and they are bored. When General Nian pushed up the city tower, a little count, two thousand soldiers had been lost in one battle, and hundreds of wounded people were also killed, full of shame, knelt on the ground, and said to Guo Da: "General, Nian Mou was not effective in the first battle, but he begged to die, with the heart of the army!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Guo Da's face, and several adjutant generals immediately came out to intercede: "The general is angry, and the general is not effective at the beginning, which is a capital crime, but before the war starts, it is not a good omen to behead the main general first, and please ask the general to allow him to make meritorious contributions!"

Guo Da said coldly: "Nian Yao, remember that you have always had military merits, this time I will write down your head for the time being, and allow you to make meritorious contributions for your crimes, and don't go down!" Nian Yao was full of shame and shouted: "Thank you for the general's grace of not killing!" He knocked his head three times and hurriedly retreated.

After the rebel vanguard outside the city cleaned up the battlefield, they immediately set up camp, only a few miles away from Pengze City, and divided a small group of soldiers and horses to search back and forth to prevent the Pengze defenders from going out of the city and stealing the camp. Guo Dayu was furious, seeing that the enemy army was so arranged, but he also admired it a little, and nodded: "The opponent's commander is very knowledgeable in the art of war, and it is worthy of Zuo Huairen's department, it seems that he will not attack the city today, and he will wait for Zuo Huairen's army to converge." Immortal masters, please go back to the tent to rest. ”

led everyone back to the big tent, leaving the general to guard the city tower and monitor the movement of the enemy. Shangguan Yunzhu and the others also saw the two armies fighting with their own eyes for the first time, and they all saw it with relish, Ling Chong saw it in his eyes, shook his head and said: "These Xuanmen monks don't know the suffering of the people, and they only regard the fierceness of the battle formation as a pastime!" escorted Ling Kang down the city tower and turned back to the county government, he didn't hand over with a few people, and he was happy to be clean.

Guo Da invited Shangguan Yunzhu and the five people to come to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss the strategy of refusal, Ling Chong was too lazy to invite, completely ignored it, Guo Da did not dare to have a grudge, the big tent was discussed for a long time, and he couldn't come up with a reason, and finally dispersed. The people of the Xuanmen will not join the battle formation in person, carry a knife and kill people, which will hurt the peace of heaven and earth, and there will be endless troubles.

The people of the Xuanmen are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the world, of course, because most of the monks of the Xuanmen are astonishing and can never be resisted by the people of the world, and also because once they create more sins, they will have more karma, which is not conducive to future cultivation. How many monks have gone astray, relying on their own mana, bullying the weak, and as a result, they can't get through the robbery and die under the calamity. The reincarnation of cause and effect in Buddhism is not a joke.

Ling Chong knew this taboo, so he only protected his brother and refused to enter the battle to fight. Ling Kang was worried, and said to Ling Chong: "Look at today's array, Zuo Huairen's army is all elite, and the armor and weapons used are much better than those of Daming, and Peng Ze's troops are insufficient, it's really difficult!"

Ling Chong said: "I am a cultivator, and the matter of the battle formation is to be worried about by Guo Da's generation, if the eldest brother is not at ease, you can go to Guo Da to discuss." Ling Kang asked: "Isn't the Xuanmen Righteous Path fully supporting Emperor Ping's country? As long as you use any flying sword technique and brush a few swords, won't King Jing's head be captured?"

Ling Chong shook his head and smiled, "That's not the case. The more qi practitioners practice, the more they are in awe of the cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao, and they dare not act recklessly. It is true that Xuanmen supports Emperor Ping, but he will not directly intervene in the battle for the throne, otherwise it will be a good cause and effect. Besides, King Jing also has Demon Sect monks under his command, and we still have to keep the mana to deal with the Demon Dao people. All I can do is if Peng Zecheng is broken, I will bring you back to Jinling safely. ”

Ling Kang said angrily: "I see, I still expect you to be able to turn the tide." Ling Chong smiled and said nothing. This day was really very dull, the rebels were busy camping and responding to the army, the atmosphere in Guo Da's tent was tense, and between the deployment of troops and generals, there was only a fierce battle after Zuo Huairen's arrival. However, some people proposed to take advantage of the night to rob the camp, Guo Da thought about it again and again, but still shook his head and refused to allow it. If the other party is prepared and the camp is defeated, the blow to morale will not be a star, and you must not take this risk.

The night is getting deeper, everyone is resting, only Guo Da's tent is still brightly lit, Ling Chong saw it in the county office, and nodded secretly, Daming still has such a person, it is not that luck is lost, but whether it can save the building from falling, it is not yet known.

Under the bright lights, Shangguan Yunzhu sat alone in a mansion, far away from the big tent, and was practicing the Dharma by himself. Suddenly, a small paper crane flew over, landed on the window lattice, and grabbed it! Three times, the bird's beak pecked through the window paper, Shangguan Yunzhu woke up and shouted: "Who is the Taoist friend?"

An old voice came out of the beak of the paper crane bird: "Old Dao Wumen Mountain, please Shangguan Daoyou out of the city for a while!" Shangguan Yunzhu sneered: "It turned out to be Wu Daoyou, I heard that you colluded with the Demon Sect and plotted against Ling Chong, but you made a mess, and even the two of the Soul Devouring Dao were lost in it, what face did you have to find me?

Paper Crane said with a smile: "Shangguan Daoist friends, don't laugh, the old way is just a meeting by fate, not collusion with the Demon Sect, let alone assassinating fellow Daoists." It was because Ling Chong was greedy for my Wu family's Fu Gong Dao system, so he had to make this decision. Only Lao Dao knows about this matter in the world, and if he wants to talk to Shangguan Dao friends, please ask the real people of the Qingxu Dao Sect to uphold justice. ”

Shangguan Yunzhu was a little interested, and asked, "Oh, Ling Chong only has the Taixuan Sword Technique Inheritance on his body, when did he go to covet your Wu family's spells again?" The paper crane said: "As soon as Daoist friends come, you will know!" Shaking his head, the paper wings were shocked, and he had already flown away.

Shangguan Yunzhu sneered: "I want to see how you pretend to be a ghost!" walked out of the room and followed the paper crane. The paper crane fluttered its wings and flew quickly, suddenly crossed the city wall, and landed outside the city. Shangguan Yunzhu came with a royal breath, and did not alarm others, seeing that the paper crane flew east for dozens of miles, and in front of him was a small hill, and finally fell in the palm of a person's palm.

That person was Wulao Wumen Mountain, received the talisman paper turned into a paper crane, and said to Shangguan Yunzhu: "Shangguan Daoist friends are polite!" Shangguan Yunzhu flew up the hill, saw this sanctimonious old Taoist, and sneered: "You still dare to show up, there are still a few Xuanmen fellow Taoists in the city right now, why don't you go with me and argue whether you have selfishness in the Demon Sect?"

Wumen Mountain's face did not change, and said with a smile: "Daoyou is joking, Wu Mou is bright and windy, how can he care about small things? Anyway, when the Taiqing Gate was destroyed, your faction was hiding in the dark, but it was not a little provocative, this collusion with the Demon Sect seems to have risen from your faction!"

"Shut up!" Shangguan Yunzhu's face was like frost, the matter of Taiqingmen was too long, even she heard a few words from the true Taoist by chance, it seemed to be an authentic Fuzong sect portal, after the collapse of Taiqingmen, there was the rise of Qingxu Dao Sect, and the righteous Dao Niu Er had been held for thousands of years. The meaning of Wumen Mountain is that it has already been pointed out, even if it is true, it is not tolerable to her, so she reprimanded it.

Wumen Shan didn't care, and said leisurely: "The Seven Sects of Xuanmen have not been the right way of Xuanmen in this world since ancient times, and they have also used many disgraceful means, even if the Qingxu Dao Sect supports Emperor Ping's accession to the throne now, doesn't it also force him to set up a disciple of the Qingxu Dao Sect as the queen? Everyone is to each other, just look at the height of their wrists. ”

Shangguan Yunzhu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and went straight to the point, "You said that Ling Chong was greedy for your Wu family's Dao Law inheritance, what evidence is there?" Wumen Shan snorted and said: "My Wu family is the authentic Taiqing Sect rune inheritance, and my ancestor is an elder in the Taiqing Gate, can Shangguan Daoist friends know about this matter?"

Shangguan Yunzhu sneered: "The Taiqing Sect has been destroyed for many years, and the ancestor of the Lianchuang Sect can only hide in the Nine Heavens Immortal Que to survive, your Wu family regards itself as Taiqing orthodoxy, how can this sect not know? In this way, it was Ling Chong who took away the Taiqing inheritance?"

Wu Lao sneered: "This matter is a long story, when the leper immortal golden boat on the Lingjiang River was born, looking for someone who was destined, there was a little girl who got a rune scripture, because it was a cloud book, she didn't understand it, so she gave it to Ling Chong." Ling Chong made a copy of the translation of the scriptures in return, which was said by the little girl's husband himself, and there was no falsehood. It can be seen from this that the Taiqing inheritance must fall into the Taixuan faction, Ling Chong is just at the right time, and even more hateful, he also secretly used means to steal the original scripture and refused to return it! Shangguan Daoyou, if someone steals the supernatural power inheritance of the Qingxu Dao Sect, I don't know how your sect will deal with it?"

Shangguan Yunzhu said without thinking: "Naturally, he killed something!" Wumen Shan stroked his palms and sighed: "Ah! That's right! Old Dao also thought about it, so he attacked Ling Chong. Unexpectedly, that kid was carrying a magic weapon, and in the siege of the five masters, he calmly retreated. That magic weapon can be known without asking, it must be obtained from the Taiqing relics, so deceitful that the old Tao has no way, so I have to ask the Qingxu Dao Sect to administer justice for my Wu family!"

The words were reversed, and Shangguan Yunzhu didn't bother to pay attention to it, but Ling Chong actually had the Taiqing inheritance and a magic weapon in her hand, which made her suspicious, and asked: "Isn't the magic weapon in Ling Chong's hand one of those few pieces in the Taixuan Sect?" Wu Lao sneered: "That magic weapon evolves two black and white qi, looking at the sky and brushing it randomly, it is definitely not the few Taixuan magic weapons that are known, and the number of paths is absolutely different! This matter has been witnessed by many people, and it will never be wrong!"
