Chapter 41 [Fierce Battle on the Edge of Life and Death]
Tang Lang was overjoyed and said: "When the time comes, the Zheng army will be leaderless and will inevitably be defeated." King Qin waved his finger to the east, Luoyang can go down, and the world can be flat. β
Li Shimin listened to Tang Lang's words and was silent.
Tan Zong and Zhang Xiaohu both smiled and nodded.
"Then we will go to the Dragon Snake Valley now to make all preparations, and wait for Wang Renze, the traitor, to enter our ambush circle." Tan Zong said in a deep voice.
"Okay."
β¦β¦
Master Tanzong returned to the Shaolin Temple and immediately summoned the remaining twelve stick monks Sekong, Wukong, Likong, Bankong, Weikong, Xuankong, Daokong, Bukong, Zhicao, Zhizhi, Zhiyin, Huiyang and others, and secretly explained the situation to them.
Several of these 12 monks also had family members or relatives who had been persecuted by the brutal Wang Shichong and Wang Renze's uncle and nephew.
As soon as they heard that they were going to ambush Wang Renze, they all agreed.
So, Tan Zong took these twelve stick monks to Wangjia Village, and together with Tang Lang, Zhang Xiaohu, and Li Shimin, they went to the high mountains on both sides of the Dragon Snake Valley to prepare for an ambush.
The thirteen stick monks of Shaolin Temple, each with great strength, quickly prepared all kinds of huge throwing stones and placed them on the edge of the cliff.
At that time, as long as you push down, these huge stones will roll down the steep cliff all the way to the bottom of the Dragon and Snake Valley, and crush the attacking Zheng army to death.
Due to the extremely small size of the Dragon and Snake Valley, it can be described as "one man is the gate, ten thousand people are not open", and it is an excellent ambush location.
After making all the preparations, Tang Lang and the others waited patiently for Wang Renze to come to the door to send him to death.
β¦β¦
The day passed quickly.
The soldiers and horses led by Wang Renze did not come.
During this period, Wang Jiaozi sneakily left Wangjia Village and headed in the direction of Luoyang.
His actions were naturally watched by Tang Lang.
Tang Lang did not startle the snake, and let Wang Jiaozi go to Luoyang to report to Wang Renze.
β¦β¦
The next day.
Wang Renze's soldiers and horses still did not come.
Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu were idle, so they practiced kung fu in a cave in the Dragon Snake Valley.
Since his head injury, Zhang Xiaohu has been recuperating in bed for nearly half a month. In the past half a month, Bai Wufang has taken care of him carefully.
With Bai Wufang watching, it is impossible for Zhang Xiaohu to practice Shaolin swordsmanship.
It wasn't until half a month after he recovered that Zhang Xiaohu picked up the sword again and practiced Shaolin swordsmanship.
has been practicing from autumn to winter, and after a few months, Zhang Xiaohu's Shaolin swordsmanship has improved a lot. Master Shangtanzong's personal guidance several times made Zhang Xiaohu's swordsmanship more perfect.
In these days, Tang Lang, who has not suffered any trauma on his body, is naturally not idle.
He continued to practice Shaolin boxing, Shaolin stick, and Shaolin sword diligently, and of course, he was more interested in cultivating the Shaolin plum blossom wood needle.
In a few months, Tang Lang's skill of cutting wood with plum blossom needles has reached new heights, and he has been able to hit the major acupoints on the face of the humanoid puppet within seven steps.
According to Master Tanzong's explanation, Tang Lang learned that the acupuncture points of the human head, such as the eyebrow acupoint (i.e., Yintang), the forehead acupoint, the temple, and the occipital bone acupoint, can kill people once they are pierced by the extraordinary plum blossom cut wood needle.
As a result, Tang Lang had great confidence in the attack power of the plum blossom cutting wood needle.
And he still hasn't forgotten his cultivation of "One Qi Zen".
According to the practice essentials of the "Exercise Chapter" in "One Qi Zen", Tang Lang has successfully practiced the internal skills of "leading qi with intention" and the external skills of "gathering qi with intention", and he can already exert his luck.
It's just that the strength of his luck is not very strong, but it is still amazing.
ββTang Lang once pinched a plum blossom wood needle, and luckily exerted his strength and pierced a wooden board up to an inch thick. The power of the Shaolin plum blossom cutting wood needle after cultivating one qi Zen can be seen here.
β¦β¦
The third day soon came.
Tang Lang stood at the mouth of the cave and kept looking towards the mouth of the Dragon Snake Valley.
Li Shimin looked at Tang Lang's anxious appearance, and couldn't help but say: "Tang Lang, don't worry, this Wang Ren won't come today, he will come tomorrow." β
Tang Lang said silently: "I hope so." β
Zhang Xiaohu took out the long sword in the treasure sheath and said to it:
"I heard the sword in its sheath, and it kept moaning...... It is a sword of vengeance, and once unsheathed, it is bound to thirst for the blood of its enemies......"
Tang Lang was excited in his heart, and said to Zhang Xiaohu: "Yes, yes......"
It was almost noon.
Tan Zong, who was standing at the mouth of the cave, suddenly shouted: "Wang Renze's soldiers and horses are here!" Everyone, be on alert! β
Tang Lang, Zhang Xiaohu, and Li Shimin, when they heard the sound, all walked quickly to the entrance of the cave to see.
The rest of the twelve monks also gathered around.
I saw that in the Dragon and Snake Valley below, a group of cavalry took the lead in opening the way, and the long swords and scimitars in their hands were shining and dazzling in the winter sun.
A bearded man, with a golden helmet and golden armor, rode a tall horse proudly, marching in the middle of the entire procession.
"The one wearing the golden helmet and golden armor is Wang Renze!"
Li Shimin looked at it and said, "The men and horses brought by Wang Ren are at least more than five hundred horses. - Everyone hurry up and go their separate ways! β
At the sound of an order, Tang Lang, Zhang Xiaohu, and Tan Zong, including the thirteen stick monks, all came out of the cave and quietly came to the place where the boulder had been prepared in advance.
Li Shimin whispered to everyone: "Listen to my order, when I say that when I push the boulder down, everyone will work together to push it down the Dragon and Snake Valley." β
The walls of the mountains they had chosen at the top of the mountain were so steep that boulders crashed down from them, so that they had to smash the people walking in the Valley of the Dragon and Snake into pieces of meatloaf.
After all the cavalry of the Zheng army below entered the Dragon Snake Valley, Li Shimin shouted:
"Push the stone!"
Tang Lang, Zhang Xiaohu, and Tan Zong and other thirteen stick monks had already been waiting impatiently, and they rushed to the bottom of the cliff to push these hundreds or even thousands of catties of boulders.
Tan Zong's divine power is amazing, with just one palm, he pushed a boulder weighing thousands of catties to the bottom of the valley, and kicked down a boulder of several hundred catties.
The loud sound of "booming ......" kept resounding in the Dragon Snake Valley.
Dozens of huge hard stones fell from the top of the cliff, rolled down the steep mountain wall all the way, and smashed into the sheep intestine path in the Dragon Snake Valley, smashing the stunned Zheng army cavalry to the point that people were on their backs, and the dead and wounded were pillowed.
Li Shimin slipped down hundreds of boulders on the top of the mountain, and all of them were pushed to the bottom of the valley.
The cavalry of the Zheng army was smashed by a boulder and cried for their father, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded when they landed.
Li Shimin saw that he had already broken most of Wang Renze's men, so he said loudly: "Let's rush down the mountain and kill Wang Renze at the bottom of the valley!" β
