XXIII. Camp of Goryeo
For the Chinese people, death is not the end, but the beginning.
For thousands of years, people have believed that after death, people will enter a reincarnation, walk through the Nai He Bridge, drink a bowl of Meng Po soup, and then reincarnate as a human being.
This is a philosophy of self-comfort, this is a beautiful sustenance, and this is also a beautiful fantasy. The sufferings of this life are all over at the moment of death. The next life is a time to enjoy good fortune after all the hardships.
Monk Daoyan poured some water from the water bladder in the expectant gaze, carefully washed off the dirt and dust on his hands and face, tidied up the robe on his body, rinsed his mouth and sat cross-legged, which was a bit solemn.
"Nam no Amitabha night. Dotagada night. Dodi night him. Amili Tu Bhavi. Amididox. Sidhamvavi.
Ami sighed. Vigalandhi. Ami sighed. Vigalando.
GamigrΓΉ. Ghagana. Citrus Takali. Suo Po He......"
As soon as the Sanskrit scriptures came out, the entire battlefield suddenly fell silent. Even the enemy's horses in the distance were not neighing. Then, a gust of wind blew, blowing away the smoke and blood.
"All the negative karma created in the past was caused by beginningless greed and hatred, and I repent of everything that was born from my body, speech, and mind, and I wish to eliminate the three obstacles and all afflictions, and I wish to gain wisdom and understanding......
Maybe it's thinking about the next life, maybe it's thinking about Western Elysium. Some of the brothers wept silently, but the expressions on their faces were much calmer.
From the moment they lost their home and loved ones, they were ready to die, and he was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of being worried before death. Since there is an afterlife, it is better to die at this moment than to starve to death and freeze to death.
Dao Yan finished his excess, stood up and recited a few words of Buddha name. His master Xi Yingzhen also washed his face, took out a yellow talisman, and a peachwood sword, and slowly walked towards the hillside.
"Why are you going?" Zhu Wu opened his mouth and asked, what is this old Dao doing over there, they are all the corpses of the enemy.
"Dao Ye gave them a superordinate!" Xi Yingzhen pointed to the twisted bodies on the ground and said.
"Why?" Guo Xing and Guo Ying's brothers stopped doing it first, they fought for a long time, how many brothers died under their knives, if they are not chopped, they are all considered virtues, and you give them overdue!
Xi Yingzhen made a decision and sneered, "The old way is to overtake them to the animal road, so that they can't be human beings in three lifetimes!" β
Everyone was stunned, shivered in unison, and then cheered, "Good! β
The enemy troops in the distance watched all this quietly, and some people called Amitabha Buddha from the beginning of the monk's chanting. When the old man appeared and walked to the comrades who died in battle, there were even more people who acted from afar. They thought that the old way was helping them to go over, but they didn't know that it was suppressed.
Xi Yingzhen has words, "The sun is shining, the sun rises in the east, there is death when the curse is encountered, and the person who is cursed dies, I serve the Northern Emperor, and the ominous is cut down, and all ghosts and monsters ........."
The old Taoist scriptures are ruthless, and his bones are trembling, not at all like the monk's kindness.
Brush! Xi Yingzhen lit the yellow paper, inserted it on the tip of the peachwood sword, and swayed it a few times with the wind, and the black ash drifted around.
In the distance, the Han army's thousand households Quan Xu squinted, and after seeing all this, he said, "After breaking the formation, leave the monks and Taoists alive, let them practice for three days, and worship the heroic spirit!" β
After speaking, he looked up at the sky, "Hurry up and urge the reinforcements, it's getting dark!" β
β¦β¦β¦
"Work hard! When we arrive in Haozhou, let's invite all brothers to drink wine and eat meat! β
Zhu Chongba, who was on the road with his brothers, was in high spirits, returned to his hometown, gathered dozens of men, and with a little training, he was a strong team. Thinking of this place in the future, Zhu Chongba's heart was hot and full of anger.
"Heavy starling!" Xu Da ran over from behind and shouted, "There are cavalry!" β
Zhu Chongba was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Where did the cavalry come from?" β
"It's our people!" Someone shouted from behind, "It's the brother who commanded the guard!" Immediately after, a knight came to Zhu Chongba.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Chongba recognized this person, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Officers and soldiers!" The knight gasped and said, "The fifth brother and the brothers encountered the cavalry brigade of the official army and were bitten, so I have to go back to the city to ask for help!" β
"Where?" Zhu Chongba said urgently.
"Huangjue Temple North, Twenty Miles!"
Twenty miles! That is to say, it is forty miles away from themselves, and it is farther away from Haozhou, and they will be cold if the reinforcements do not come to Xiaowu. Zhu Chongba secretly thought to himself, the cavalry of the official army came and went like the wind, and Xiao Wu and they were all foot soldiers, and they couldn't run away if they couldn't beat them. Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba's hands and feet were cold.
I heard the knight continue, "When I came, the fifth brother and they occupied a small hill, and the officers and soldiers could not rush up. Get out of the way, I've got to go! β
Seeing the knight walking away, Xu Da asked, "Brother Chong, what are you doing?" β
Zhu Chongba didn't think about it, "Go back and save people!" With that, he jumped on a mule, "All the animals that can ride are on them, and there are no legs of them!" β
In order to transport grain, Zhu Chongba borrowed a lot of large livestock, mules and horses from the landlord in his hometown, which came in handy at this moment.
"What's the grain?" Someone asked.
"Throw it here!"
"Chongba, what's the use of our people in the past?" Zhou Dexing, a playmate from Zhu Chongbatong Village, said, "Don't be unable to save people, you're putting us in!" β
As soon as he finished saying this, the red scarf brothers who escorted the grain immediately scolded him, and some even wanted to draw knives to cut him.
Zhu Chongba stopped him coldly on the horse, then looked at Zhou Dexing and said, "The besieged Xiao Wu is our brother, since he is a brother, there is no reason to ignore it." If Xiao Wu and they are not dead when we pass, we just don't want to fight for his name, and we have to save him back. If he dies, we will collect his body. Brothers, we have to be worthy of a brother! β
After speaking, he waved his big hand, "Brothers, follow me and save our brothers!" β
Huaixi boys have been farming since they were young or helping the landlord's family work, riding horses and mules are commonplace, and they have turned over their mounts when they heard the rumors.
β¦β¦β¦
When it was almost dark, the follow-up troops of the Han army came slowly.
The infantry army is 1,500 people, and the thousand households under his command are a little white face with small eyes, Choi Min-chul, a Korean. To be honest, Quan Xu doesn't look down on him here, and together with these more than a thousand infantry, he is like a chicken and a dog in his heart.
There is a soldier and a nest of grain. There are so many thousand households in these soldiers' stalls, and they are also poured with blood mold. Flattering and bullying, the brothers not only did not benefit him at all, but even had to deduct the money for pickles. The soldiers under his command were half Koreans and half Han Chinese, and Goryeo was fine, and the Han sergeants scolded him in their dreams. I don't know how to fight, I just pat myself like a dog, and when I see a Mongolian nobleman and a big official, I can't wait to have a tail on my buttocks.
Seeing the Han officials, his eyes grew on the top of his head, and when he met people, he said that his ancestors had participated in the conquest of Japan, and he was a generation of dogs and horses of the Great Yuan, what a thing!
The two armies converged, and the two main generals also had to meet. It stands to reason that Jeon Wook and Choi Min Chul are both thousands of households, officials at the same level. But Jeon Wook has the hereditary position of Daewon, and Choi Min-chul, a Korean, is half a head shorter.
Jeon Wook was on the horse, and Choi Min-cheol was sitting in a sedan chair with two people, dressed as a traditional Korean.
"General Quan!" Cui Minzhe smiled, "It's been a long wait!" Our foot soldiers, the two-legged ones are no better than your four-legged ones, they are slower! β
Quan Xu snorted coldly, you Goryeo soldiers are faster than anyone else when you plague the people, and you grind and chirp when you start a battle. didn't talk nonsense, and pointed to Zhu Wu's team on the hill, "I'm all cavalry, it's not easy to attack, and I'm tired of Lord Cui pushing it." I don't spend the general when I turn around, and I will ask Cui Qianhu for credit. β
Cui Minzhe looked at the top of the mountain and said with some embarrassment, "Ah, General Quan." The sons and daughters of this thousand households are tired and hungry after walking for a long time, so let's bury the pot and cook first and eat enough! β
"It's getting dark, and you're still eating a bird!" Quan Xu scolded, "There are a total of about 100 people on the opposite side, and bulldozing will not delay your meal!" β
"The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, anyway, there are more than 100 people, what are you in a hurry?" Cui Minzhe said with a smile, "My lord, there is Goryeo ginseng here, let the brothers clean up a pot of ginseng and chicken soup, let's drink some of it?" β
"Drink your mother!" Quan Xu was furious, "You fucking rambling again, Lao Tzu chopped you." I don't believe that you are such a cheap species, and it will be difficult for me if I don't spend the general? β
"Don't, don't!" Cui Minzhe was shocked, this Quan Xu was a profitable general under the account of the general who did not spend money, and he could not afford to offend. So he turned his head and gave the order, and let his army prepare to fight in formation.
A team of more than 1,000 people, a whole team of draggers. Half an hour passed, and a small half of the people were still sitting on the ground, dead or alive.
Jeon Wook's face became more and more ugly, but Cui Minzhe leaned over shamelessly and said with a smile.
"General Quan is Han?"
"Lao Tzu is not Han, or is he a Korean?" Quan Xu squinted his eyes and said angrily.
Cui Minzhe said with a straight face, "It's not impossible, the whole surname is a big surname in Goryeo......"
"Fuck your mother's fart!" Quan Xu couldn't help but scold, "The eight generations of Lao Tzu's ancestors are all upright Han people, and those of you Goryeo surnamed Quan, Bao Buqi is the wild son of Lao Tzu's ancestor who was born outside the concubine." As he spoke, he continued to scold, "Give you a pillar of incense, if you can't attack it again, Lao Tzu will take your sacrificial flag!" β
β¦β¦
"Goryeo Battalion!"
There was a large army coming from there, and Zhu Wu took his men to observe on the hill, and after seeing the flag, Li Sai said loudly.
"How's the fight?" Zhu Wu asked.
"The Mongols' minions are slow to feed the horses." Li Sai said with a smile, "There is no one in the official mansion, and the Korean soldiers have all taken it out!" β
Li Sai despised these soldiers, but Zhu Wu couldn't, the ants bit the elephant to death, not to mention that there were more people than himself, and it was getting dark, and it depended on whether he could survive or not.
"Let the brothers hurry up, finish eating and line up." Zhu Wu said lightly, the brothers rushed and fought, and they didn't eat for a long time, so they took advantage of this kung fu to make up for it.
"Fifth brother, will reinforcements come?" Guo Xing asked, holding half a piece of bread.
Zhu Wu pulled the piece of cake down and took a bite, "As long as we hold on, we will definitely come!" In fact, he himself has no bottom, but in the current situation, there is no way but to persevere.
Guo Xing handed over the water bladder, and suddenly smiled and said, "Fifth brother, you run!" β
"Huh?" Zhu Wu was stunned.
"I took a look, we still have two good horses here, and when it gets dark, you will ride a horse and run, and I and the fourth child will be here for you!" Guo Xing didn't look at Zhu Wu, lowered his head and said, "It's just that in the future, Lian'er will only have you as the only brother left, you have to take care of her and let her marry a good family!" β
Zhu Wu smiled, the little apprehension in his heart suddenly disappeared, he kicked Guo Xing's buttocks, and said with a smile, "Fuck off, say these frustrating words, in the future, Lian'er's marriage is a matter for our brothers and sisters to do together, and no one can be less!" β
said, holding Guo Xing's shoulder, "Third brother, if the fifth brother leaves you behind, will it still be your fifth brother?" Live together as brothers. Die, our brothers too! β
"The officers and soldiers are moving!"
Guo Ying shouted in the first row, "The guns are up, the archers are behind me." Fifth brother! Is there any fried man? β
