Chapter Ninety-Eight: Falling Short
Dressed in a red shirt and wearing a red crown on his head, the Red Lotus Sect mage with a sword in his right hand and a banner in his left hand, under the protection of several other mages and spirits, stood under the city gate and shook the soul banner and shouted: "Open!" ”
The mage said that this is the mantra he recited, and he can open the city gate with a loud voice, and after reciting it, he will let the spirits behind him rush forward, all of them are a group of brainwashed spirits! Naturally, he obeyed the words of the archmage, and everyone rushed towards the closed gate, and as a result, the tall gate collapsed.
How incredible this scene looked, if there were still some sober people in the group of spirits before, then the appearance of such a scene completely made these people firmly believe in the mana of their archmage.
Moreover, not only the gods under the city were impressed by their archmage's supernatural powers, but even the soldiers defending the city at the head of the city were also taken aback.
Does the Red Lotus Sect really have supernatural powers? The sergeants defending the city began to hesitate, but hesitating on the battlefield was undoubtedly looking for death, so when some sergeants looked at their general suspiciously, what was waiting for them was a slash and they were cut to the ground on the spot.
"What are you doing? Why don't you go into battle to kill Lao Tzu, a group of fools who only know how to make ghosts scare you? ”
With the general's angry shout, a group of frightened people woke up, and then rushed to the city gate with their knives and their guards.
It's true that the people of the Red Lotus Sect like to pretend to be gods and ghosts, otherwise how could they be like fish in water among the people?
But there is one thing he said wrong, that is, the people of the Red Lotus Sect are not all stupid, at least the archmage who stood in front of the city gate just now to cast a spell to open the city gate is definitely not a fool, otherwise he would not have poured royal water into the card slot of the top gate bar in advance.
The city gates are thick and heavy, each no less than 500 catties, and the top gate pole is made of sturdy iron and wood, and it is impossible to use his heels on these two things, so this guy stared at the iron trough where the top gate pole was placed.
Although each iron trough weighs more than 100 catties, it seems to be strong, but after all, it is nailed to the stone, as long as the stones around it are corroded with aqua regia, this iron sturdy and durable iron trough is an ornament.
If the soldiers defending the city had used snacks, they would have been able to find out the strangeness of the six iron card slots in the door hole three days ago, but they didn't call out, because once they reported the repairs, they might fall on their heads, and everyone received the same military sound, why do I want to repair the city gate in red sweat and white sweat in the heavy snow, and you hide in the gatehouse to roast the fire?
As long as the city gate does not collapse, it is natural that it will be able to do it, but this gives the Red Lotus Sect a chance.
With a large stone that is brittle like an eggshell, you have to be careful when you put it on the top door carrying that weighs hundreds of pounds, where can you withstand being pushed violently by a group of spirits who are crazy?
Three of the six iron troughs fell at once, but that was enough.
The first group of spirits who ran in were killed and injured by a top door pole weighing hundreds of pounds, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of this group of spirits in the slightest.
The power of people's faith is great and terrible, the key depends on what you believe, take this group of gods and spirits who are attacking the city with shuttle darts as an example, they believe that they will not only have an afterlife after they die, but also enter the beautiful and eternal Buddha kingdom, so they dare not take their lives seriously.
Since people can die, it is naturally terrible, so don't just look at what they are holding in their hands, the key is that people dare to fight with you even if they take a brick, and before they fight, they will make you three points weaker in momentum.
A group of people in armor and knives couldn't defeat a group of unarmed spirits, such a seemingly absurd thing was staged at the north gate of Yuzhou City under this night.
According to their teachings, they are going to use the fire lotus karmic fire to burn all the sins in the world, so that the people of the world can be cleansed of their sins in the karmic fire, so that their souls can be sublimated and ascend to the beautiful and eternal Buddha kingdom thirty-eight days away.
The people who defend the city outside the city are all local militiamen, and such soldiers in the Great Zhou are called government soldiers, most of them are landed farmers, and these people are also recruited because of the Red Lotus Sect.
In addition, there is another Shangguan who likes to drink the blood of soldiers, for such soldiers, who would really fight with a group of crazy people?
Seeing the traitors of the Red Lotus Sect slaughtering the inner city all the way, and the wind and fire were everywhere they passed, the general defending the city felt that his hands and feet were cold.
"It's over, this time I will definitely hang my body on the flagpole by Lord Assassin Shi as an example."
This thief silence like a fire dragon crossing the border did not stop until it reached the front of the inner city, because it was the forbidden army transferred from the right military guard this time that guarded the inner city, and the archmage of the Red Lotus Sect did not have the opportunity to destroy the city gate in advance.
After the archmage organized people to attack once, he turned around and left, and began to wreak havoc on the outer city, saying that he wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, but in fact, he was afraid that the group of spirits behind him would be awakened by the ruthless killing of the forbidden soldiers, and then he would not even have a chance to escape when he knelt and begged.
The forbidden soldiers of the inner city did not come out, but a cavalry of only 700 men came in from outside the city, and each of these 700 cavalry was the treasure of the right guard, because the cavalry of the right guard, which numbered 50,000 people, was only 1,400 people, and they were a sharp weapon against Tuyuhun.
Qin Lei, the commander of the right military guard, once threatened that if he could give him 10,000 horsemen for the right military guard, he would definitely catch Tuyuhun to the snow field and recover the land of Longyou for thousands of miles.
If it weren't for the remnants of the Red Lotus Sect this time, Qin Lei would not have let his cousin Qin Ting bring seven hundred cavalry over, and once these cavalry rushed out of the battlefield, it would be a tiger into the flock.
There was no need to slash and kill, as long as he stretched out the horizontal knife in his hand and put it on the necks of those Red Lotus Sect members, relying on horse speed to carry these people's heads flying.
But after two rounds, half of the traitors who were the original victims of the disaster fell to the ground, and the remaining half either knelt down and prayed or sat on the ground trembling.
The next day, the heads of the seven hundred and forty mages of the Red Lotus Sect were hung on the city gate, because there were only these seven hundred and forty heads, so whether it was Huang Ji, Xia Lao, or the Qin family, they were very unhappy.
Although the people of the Red Lotus Sect were almost killed and injured in this battle, the two soul figures of the Red Lotus Sect, the Holy Mother and the Buddha, did not catch any of them, which made everyone feel that they had fallen short.
In the county office of Longtan County in the inner city, Qin Ting stared at the map on the wall with a tightly knit brow and was silent, he really couldn't understand, in just less than two days, the Buddha and the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus Sect could run away?
Wave after wave of cavalry were sent in all directions, almost all of them were about to run all over the city of Yuzhou for a hundred miles, but there was still no news.
"Could it be that those two guys can really fly away?" Qin Ting slammed his fist against the wall.
But at this moment, I heard someone behind me say: "Flying to the sky and the earth is too mysterious, but if it is water, it is very possible." ”
Qin Ting looked back, but he didn't know when Xia Lao was already standing behind him, Qin Ting hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Master Xia!" ”
Xia Lao nodded and said, "Can you send someone to chase after the waterway?" ”
