Volume 1 Scholarly Sentiment Chapter 41 Blowing Up the Pagoda

There is no ambush in Ci'an Temple, and the rusty guards under the command of Zhan Thunder easily climbed to the highest point of Yinzhou City - Ci'an Temple Tower, this seven-story tower is located in the corner of the temple, and it is easy to observe the entire Yinzhou City when you climb to the highest floor, and you can naturally see the battle situation at the city gate.

Zhan Ting stood at the highest point and said to Shi Gong Zhengyuan beside him: "Such an important strategic commanding height, the people of the Tang Dynasty actually gave it to others like this?" ”

"Xia Tang has arranged an ambush in the city, and there is also an ambush on the side of the official residence!" Shi Gong Zhengyuan had already noticed the sound of fighting coming from the direction of the official residence, "Just leaving this Ci'an Temple, isn't this a siege in the art of war?" ”

"Complete the task as soon as possible, I always feel that this temple is not safe!" Zhan Thunder said to the signal soldier beside him, and after the man got the order, he immediately drew out the signal fireworks and prepared to launch, but at this moment, the signal fireworks exploded in the air.

"It seems that Tong Xin has already succeeded!" Zhan Ting was faintly excited, "Let's retreat immediately!" ”

The battle between the two armies outside Ci'an Temple was in full swing, and the Xuanjia army was indeed worthy of being a strong army under King Yu, and after the initial panic, they quickly rearranged their positions and concentrated on meeting the enemy. Ye Kai and Zhao Kexin deserve to be personal guards, and they have been guarding King Yu tightly in front and back.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first!" One of the troops of the Lower Tang Dynasty galloped out on a snow-white horse, and the man reined in the reins of the horse and stood in front of the army, it was Fan Xi. "I, Fan Lu, can see the general of the Liang Dynasty today, it's really an opponent! This sentence was said by you Liang Chaoren, and I will return it to you today! ”

"It turned out to be General Fan! General Fan has quite the knowledge of our beam, but unfortunately he used it in the wrong place! "King Yu is also arrogant when he stands in the military array.

"Oh?"

"General Fan has reversed the position of the thief and the king!" Before the words could be fully landed, King Yu had already jumped up on the spot, and at the same time as he jumped, a spear seemed to shoot out of King Yu's body, heading straight for Fan Xi! The whole process was so fast, so fast that Ye Kai, who was standing next to King Yu, couldn't see exactly when King Yu made a move.

Fan Yuyuan stared at his eyes, King Yu was supposed to be a nirvana but was dodged by Fan Yu, he turned around and rolled directly under the horse's belly, and King Yu's spear was also inserted into the horse's head at the same time, and the horse fell down after a painful and high-pitched neigh. Fan Yu is not the master who is waiting to be killed, at the moment when the horse fell to the ground, it was like an arrow from the string rushing towards the Xuanjia army formation, and the orderly Xuanjia army soldiers wanted to block him, but unfortunately they didn't react, and there was already an extra blood mark on their necks!

The originally complete military formation was torn open by Fan Yu in a short period of time, and the Xia Tang soldiers who followed behind Fan Yu also took the opportunity to attack this opening, and after a while, the opening was torn wider and wider. King Yu turned around and shot a sharp shot, Fan Yu blocked with a scimitar, after receiving a blow from King Yu, not only did not retreat but attacked again and again, the scimitar in his hand turned into a silver halo in the rapid movement, like a silver snake wandering in the air, colliding with King Yu's gun with dazzling sparks, and in a short period of time the original passive position into an active position.

"It's not good, King Yu is in danger!" Ye Kai was about to get out and go to help, but he was surrounded by two enemy soldiers one after the other. "Go help King Yu, leave it to me here!" Zhao Kexin flashed not far behind Ye Kai and rushed into the battle group of Fan Xi and King Yu.

As soon as Zhao Kexin's glass kiss shook his hand, more than a dozen silver needles were squirted, many of which hit the enemy's Yin Tang, and immediately took his life, and this move also temporarily forced back the enemies around King Yu. But the enemy army was like a tide, and after retreating, it ushered in a more fierce attack, and the battle array of the Golden Armor Guard was torn open and the number was at a disadvantage, and the King of Yu could only fight and retreat, and behind them was Ci'an Temple.

Shi Gong Zhengyuan followed Zhan Ting down from the tower, from time to time he looked in the direction of the west of the city, the fireworks in his hope did not rise, and the anxiety in his heart became more and more serious as time passed, if he didn't try to restrain himself, he was afraid that he would take the initiative to send a signal.

After a few people went down to the fourth floor of the Ci'an Temple Tower, the signal that Shi Gong Zhengyuan had been waiting for finally appeared! A wisp of green smoke rose from a place in the north of the city, very faint, and it would be difficult to notice this wisp of green smoke if you didn't deliberately look for it on this bloody battlefield. There was a rare expression fluctuation on Shi Gong Zhengyuan's face, the time has come!

"Captain ......."

As soon as Zhan Tingfu turned around, he only caught a glimpse of Shi Gong Zhengyuan's mouth moving, and he couldn't hear what he said at all, because the huge rumbling sound completely covered up all the noise, and with this loud noise, the entire Ci'an Temple tower began to break apart from the base, and the tower that lost its center of gravity collapsed in an instant. The collapse of the tower of Ci'an Temple caused a sense of collapse and cracking, which spread to the temple, shaking the Liang army with their backs to Ci'an Temple, and some people were even killed by flying rubble.

The sudden scene put the Liang army, which was originally passive, into danger, and the formation of the Jin Jiawei was completely disrupted, and the Tang army took the opportunity to divide it. Even more unfortunate are the rusty guards closest to the tower of Ci'an Temple, and most of those who entered the tower and those near the tower were buried by the tower.

The smoke and dust from the collapse of the tower had not yet completely cleared, and a man covered in gray-white dust poked out of a gap, his face unkempt and unrecognizable. The man breathed heavily, coughed vigorously, and after a few moments regained some strength, he gritted his teeth and pulled out his legs, which were still crushed by the collapsed building, causing the whole person to roll off the mound of dirt because of the force.

The man struggled to his feet, shaking his body and causing a small cloud of dust to fly again, revealing the cyan armor on his body. He stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, and finally partially exposed his face, this gray-faced man was Shi Gong Zhengyuan. As far as the eye could see, there were flying dust and flashing swords, and all I could hear was the shouts of the enemy and the cries and moans of the robes. Shi Gong Zhengyuan shook his head, and he recalled that the closest thing to him before the tower collapsed was Zhan Ting.

"Captain Zhandu!" Shi Gong Zhengyuan opened his throat and shouted, and at the same time began to rummage back and forth on the pair of mounds in front of him. "Captain Zhandu, answer me when you hear it!" He dug through the rubble with his bare hands, and his fingers were bloody holes, for he dug open one robe after another of corpses. They were the warriors of the Rusty Guard, once in their prime, but now they were unrecognizable corpses.

Tears welled up from his eyes, Shi Gong Zhengyuan remembered that the last time he cried was eight years ago, he knew that this was not the time to cry, but the surge of emotions made him unable to control himself. These fresh lives in front of them should have fought bloodily on the battlefield, even if they died, it would be glorious, but at this time, they were buried under the rubble, and they may not be found and never return to their hometown. Shi Gong Zhengyuan felt scared, he was afraid that he would turn over to the corpse of Zhan Ting, then this meant that the Rusty Chelated Guards were completely wiped out in this battle, according to the Great Liang military system, the generals were killed in battle, and the guards were all executed by military law. He knows that the reason why he is afraid of death is different from others, if his wish is fulfilled, even if he dies at this moment, he has no concern, but before the goal is completed, he has to spare his life, and the value of his existence in the world is still there!

When Shi Gong Zhengyuan once again dug through the rubble, one arm was exposed, and there was still residual temperature in the palm. And save! Under the unremitting digging of Shi Gong Zhengyuan, a complete arm appeared in front of him, and there was a copper ring with the logo of the three-winged Qingluan on the arm, which was the symbol of the captain, and this person was the battle thunder! The pain of the ten fingers and the heart can no longer be taken care of, Shi Gong Zhengyuan only knows to dig his head, shouting for help while digging, but unfortunately the battlefield is too chaotic, the defense line of the Golden Armor Guard has been completely torn apart by the Tang Army, and the war has spread from the official residence all the way to the Ci'an Temple, and the remaining remnants of the Rusty Chelation Guard have also joined the battle.

Without helpers, Shi Gong Zhengyuan can only rely on himself, as a boulder beside Zhan Ting was pushed away, Zhan Ting's entire body was vaguely visible, fortunately Zhan Ting was not pressed by the rubble, and there was a collapsed doorrail above his body that withstood most of the pressure. Shi Gong Zhengyuan was full of energy, exhausted the last bit of strength in his body to drag Zhan Thunder out of the ruins, cleaned up Zhan Ting's face, and watched his breathing gradually become smoother, Shi Gong Zhengyuan finally sat down on the ground.

While desperately gasping for breath, his nose began to smell an unusual smell, relying on his cultivation in the academy, and Shi Gong Zhengyuan judged that it was the smell of sulfur-doped saltpeter. Gunpowder! The tower collapsed with a bang, and it turned out that someone had pre-filled it with gunpowder! Thinking about the previous things, Shi Gong Zhengyuan was already able to guess the general direction of the evolution of the battle: the weakness of the guards at the southeast city gate was simply an illusion, luring them into the ambush circle step by step, and ambushing heavy troops on three sides of the official residence, leaving only Ci'an Temple, in order to let the Liang army enter the explosion area. As a result, the positions of the originally ambushed and ambushed sides have been reversed.

At this time, Fan Yuzhi was complacent, his every killing move was used just right, giving the Liang Dynasty army a fatal blow, the resistance in front of him was getting weaker and weaker, he stood on horseback, his eyes were only about one person - the prince of the Liang Dynasty, Xiao Yunqi, the king of Yu, as long as he could capture him alive, he would have made a great achievement.

"Kill all the Liang people and capture the generals alive! Military exploits to cut off the ear! ”

Under Fan Lu's military orders, the momentum of the Lower Tang Army became stronger, and it was more rampant than before, and the originally evenly matched battle situation began to show signs of one-sidedness, and the brown army swept away the yellow army like a tide and buried it. King Yu always insisted on being on the front line and took the lead to inspire the soldiers. Jin Jiawei was already loyal to King Yu, but there were too many enemies, and his own formation was completely dispersed, but he couldn't condense his strength, so he could only watch the robes around him fall one after another.

The sound of the battle became clearer and clearer, and Shi Gong Zhengyuan turned around to see that Jin Jiawei had retreated to the vicinity of the Ci'an Temple Tower, and then there was the collapsed tower. Gritting his teeth and trying to stand up, he dragged the still unconscious Zhan Ting to a relatively safe corner, then took off the rainbow bow he had been carrying, and after carefully searching, he found a pot of arrows in the ruins and threw it on his back, and his hands propped up the rainbow bow, his eyes returned to his former coldness, ready to fight at any time.

And the battle continued in the official residence, not far from the Ci'an Temple. Duan Lang successfully released a fireworks signal at the highest point of the mansion under the escort of the Xie brothers, and after completing the task, Duan Lang exhaled a long breath, but unfortunately this ease was fleeting, when he turned around, he saw that he and the Xie brothers had been besieged by more than a dozen bronze men. The Xie brothers' quiver was empty, and the three of them could only meet each other with short knives next, Duan Lang took a deep breath and clenched the knife in his hand, he definitely couldn't show his cowardice and fear at this time, because he knew that his weakness could feed the arrogance of his opponent. As a warrior, dying on the battlefield is fate, Duan Lang kicked a few times to hide his trembling legs, and secretly made up his mind that he would never embarrass Qingshan Academy!
