Chapter Seven: In the Jokhang Mountains, in front of Duxiu Peak (I)

Emperor Shaojing was 12 years old, and the 10th day of the lunar month.

The pursuit continues.

In the battlefield three days ago, Yun Chongbo created a miracle, facing four dragon generals and five hundred dragon riders, facing Ao Xingxing, one of the top figures in the younger generation, facing Fu Guo like a ghost and the guards on Emperor Mufeng's side, he still had the last laugh.

But it wasn't a victory in martial arts: fighting against four dragon generals with one own strength, also using dragon fists without falling behind at all, what Yun Chongbo did was already considered to be something that only the top people in heaven and earth could do, and when Fu Guo also joined the battlefield, Yun Chongbo's defeat was not surprising.

…… But Yun Chongbo still has allies.

The pursuing imperial army fell into a trap, although it really didn't seem to be a trap, there were only about a hundred people in total, and the location was still in the middle of the battlefield, a mile away, there were a large number of imperial troops to dispatch.

There were more than 100 people, divided into more than ten teams, and most of the leaders of the team were covered with their faces, but Ao Bixi immediately recognized most of them and angrily shouted their names.

"Zhang Wugun, Tang Sai'er, Liu Juehu...... Do you want to rebel! ”

However, after asking this sentence, Ao Bixi immediately felt that he was redundant, these people are either the head of the sect or the master of the cottage, considering it with the law of Daxia, no matter which one is a proper thief, and it is not in vain to kill twice properly.

…… But he really didn't expect that these people would be launched at this time, let alone that these people would unite at this time, you must know that these people are all heroes in the southeast, they have joined forces to come here, and cooperate with the action of Taiping Dao, which really makes people shudder!

In the face of this group of Thai semi-strength who have reached the eighth level, and the cronies they brought who are also not afraid of death, these guards joined forces with the dragoons, and finally kept the emperor Mufeng without missing anything.

But Yun Chongbo was still the victor, because they succeeded in cutting down the banner of the Chinese army, and because they succeeded in convincing the soldiers on the battlefield that Emperor Mufeng was dead.

…… Then, there was the collapse.

Ying Zheng tried his best, but he could only reorganize order in some parts, and his efforts would soon be destroyed by the frenzied raids and sweeps of Taiping Dao, and it was at this time that the sequelae of Emperor Mufeng's previous initiative to seek a decisive battle were gradually exposed: the consequence of pulling out the most core generals and elites for a decisive battle was that although there were still sufficient numbers of troops in the rear of the imperial army, there was a lack of officers who could effectively command or only organize them, and in the face of an avalanche of retreating troops, the reaction of most troops was not to meet them and build a front, but turned around and ran away faster than these colleagues; The Western Route Army, which was supposed to join up with the Central Route Army to form an outflank or supplement, immediately stopped advancing and set up camp upon hearing the news, and the only thing that still had some conscience was that they finally sent a group of scouts to try to contain the routs and tell them where to go. The situation of the Eastern Route Army was even worse than that of the Western Route Army, they were completely in chaos, and at the same time that Yun Chongbo was stepping through the Great Bai Land, the land of Bayuan was full of beacons!

White Lotus Sect, Manichaeism, Red Turban, Ming Bandits...... All kinds of banners have been played, and there seems to be an agreement between each other, and their respective interests and responsibilities are well distributed, although their combat power is far from being comparable to Taiping Dao, but they suddenly attacked, and dealt with the imperial army that had already diverted all their attention, and still achieved considerable gains.

The two wings were stagnant, the command of the Chinese army was paralyzed, and the imperial army had a huge advantage in numbers and equipment, but it was just a chaotic thing that could not even be called scattered sand, which was cut and eaten piece by piece by the Taiping army that pursued with all its might.

Of course, in the midst of the rout, there were also brave, loyal, or ambitious generals and troops, who stopped and used the equipment and terrain at their disposal as much as possible to build rudimentary fortifications, or simply launched a counterattack like a gamble.

Among these people, there are excellent generals, skilled veterans, young people who go to the battlefield with infinite hope for the future, and middle-aged people who just want to go home and farm after earning this reward.

But the general trend has been achieved, and it is difficult to support alone.

Destroying the withering and decaying, Yun Chongbo led the Taiping Dao people, drowning out one resistance after another, and easily smoothing out all kinds of struggles...... He had to be so, he didn't have time.

The main force of the Chinese army under the command of Yuqing has not yet been able to join him, and despite the rout, the total strength of the imperial army is still greater than that of Taiping Dao...... The road ahead will still be difficult.

In this process, what he wanted to find most was actually Yingzheng, but this fierce beast, which had always been proud and violent, actually completely resisted the temptation to fight with Yun Chongbo, and he strode back, avoiding direct conflict, so that Yun Chongbo could not knock out the only remaining core at once, and had to patiently continue to smash the stones in front of him one by one.

Now, Yun Chongbo is facing another stone.

There were still a little more than 2,000 people in the Tonggong, all of them were foot soldiers, but they formed a formation on the flat ground, and they actually resisted the three consecutive onslaughts of the Taiping front army and horse team, and under their cover, the scattered imperial army slowly regained its soul, began to assemble in their rear, and was reincorporated into the command and organized.

"Serve the country with loyalty, serve the country with loyalty!"

Listening to the thunderous roar coming from the other party's formation, Yun Chongbo scratched his head with a wry smile and said, "How can this be, we seem to have become bad people......

But then he smiled and said, "It's just two thousand people, rush with me for a while, break here, and then eat lunch...... Are you hungry? ”

The surrounding gossip was naturally full of passionate words, Yun Chongbo heard it in his ears, but his stomach was silently estimating: he had been observing the opponent's formation for a while, and he had roughly determined where to cut from, so he raised his right hand.

He raised his hand here, and the surroundings immediately fell silent, and their eyes burned one by one, and when he swung it hard, they were about to clash forward.

…… Yun Chongbo's hand never fell.

Slowly raising his head, his gaze crossed the opponent's military formation, and threw himself to the rear, his face was puzzled at first, and then serious.

At this time, the imperial army also seemed to have received some news, and the chaos gradually subsided, and the chaotic army, which should have been noisy, closed their mouths one after another, and simply ignored the Taiping army in front of them, and turned around and looked at the rear.

(…… Things seem to be getting bigger.)

With a bitter smile in his stomach, Yun Chongbo's face did not show any changes, still holding his right hand high, his eyes calm, looking into the distance.

"Undead, your greed disappoints me."

No one appeared, and even Yun Chongbo's eyes couldn't see a figure in front of him, but the voice had arrived, and the low, disappointed, angry voice echoed in everyone's ears.

Taking a deep breath and putting his right hand down—not waving it off—Yun Chongbo held the reins with both hands and said loudly: "I was born as an immortal, and I was also born as a prince...... What is greed? ”

As soon as the question and answer were answered, the entire battlefield was silent, no one was talking, no weapons were rubbing and colliding, and even the sound of horses neighing and birds chirping completely disappeared.

The sky is high and the earth is wide, but the heaven and the earth are only the stage for these two people at this time, they are divided into two sides, calm dialogue, everything else...... It's all just the background.

"That's a good answer, but you're looking for the wrong person."

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the sun was slowly sinking on the western ground, and when the circle of the setting sun began to be cut by the horizon, small black dots appeared in the sun.

It was a man, an old man who was not tall or strong, and he didn't even ride a horse, so he walked step by step with his back to the sun.

“…… Lao Tzu has never been a patient and reasonable person. ”

"You are qualified, that's your business, you are born as an immortal and a prince, that's your business."

“…… But Lao Tzu has long said that you can only choose one. ”

The old man's movements seemed to be very slow, but with each step, he would cross the distance of more than zhang or even more, and when he entered the imperial army, no one dared to stand.

They quickly retreated to the sides, knelt down, and pressed their entire upper bodies to the ground, and some of the older generals even shed tears of excitement.

…… In the minds of the soldiers, this old man is their god, the guardian of the country, and the military god of Great Xia.

"If you want to choose two, you'll have to die."

The old man came at the shortest distance, straight through the crowd, like a lion passing through a flock. The formation, which had been unbreakable just now, now parted in front of him like a soft stream of water.

Walking out of the formation, a person walked to the front, facing Yun Chongbo, and the Taiping army behind him, which had been stimulated to the apex by a series of victories. The old man stretched out his hand, pointed at Yun Chongbo, and repeated his words again.

“…… If you want to choose two, you're going to die. ”

In the twelfth year of Emperor Shaojing, at dusk on the tenth day of the lunar month, one of the eight poles of heaven and earth, the master of the Ao family in the East China Sea, the king of Wude of the Great Xia Protector, "Dragon Warrior" Ao Fuqi, walked down from the sky and intervened in the battle situation that he should not have intervened in.

…… It is known as "Longwu Cutting Road" in history.
