Chapter 95: Turning the Tide of Safety
However, it was the Heavenly Tribulation Sect members who went and returned.
These hundreds of people returned to the battlefield and found that the people of Maitreya were gone, and the Xiunu was also gone, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
The brown bear said, "The man in black has taken the flag owner away, what should I do now?" How will we explain when we go back? ”
The black bear said: "Yes, but in this battle, we killed many members of the Maitreya Sect, which can be regarded as a meritorious service. ”
"Make a fart, you can figure it out, we robbed those dozens of show girls this time, and they all ran away. The Thunder Banner Lord was also taken captive, what kind of merit is this? When we go back, I'm afraid that the sect leader will punish us, and the sect leader personally ordered the two of us to lead the elite sect members to help the Thunder Banner Lord complete this mission, but it turned out to be like this, the sect leader will definitely be angry, what can I do? ”
"How do I know what to do? Now those who are in Maitreya don't know where to go. Poor Kou Mo chases, and then chases and kills, but he is afraid of being ambushed by them, so he can only take the corpses of his brothers back and see how the hall master punishes them. ”
"It is a bit of a credit for us to cut off the heads of the Maitreya sect and bring them away, because the hall master saw that we had killed so many Maitreya people. I'm afraid that I won't punish too much. ”
"Again,—— brothers, put together the bodies of our brothers. Cut off the heads of those Maitreya thieves and bring them back to ask for merit, quick! ”
Immediately, the hundreds of congregants were busy, some carrying the corpses on horses to be transported away, and some cutting off people's heads. Some cleaned the battlefield and searched everywhere for their wounded.
Some of the cultists searched near the tunnel where Yi Xingchen was hiding. They closed their eyes tightly and rested their heads against the edge of the pit, not daring to move.
Yi Xingchen was hiding in the dirt pit. There was a corpse of a member of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect and a corpse of a member of the Maitreya Sect. Then two people came down and stepped on muddy water to carry out the corpses of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect members, and the other came down to cut off the heads of the Maitreya Sect members. The knife grabbed the head and raised it while cutting. When Zhu Zhixian heard the sound, he couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, and when he saw that the person in front of him was cutting off his head, he screamed in fright. At this moment, Yi Xingchen and the three of them suddenly felt half cold in their hearts. It's over, and I was killed by this magistrate!
This time, the Heavenly Tribulation Sect member who cut off people's heads was startled, and sat on the water with their butts and took a closer look. It was an old man in an official uniform, so he grabbed and pulled it out, and saw that he was wearing the clothes of a court official. couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, you dog officer, you are hiding here ......"
At this moment, with a whoosh, an arrow flew in the distance, hitting the back of the hearts of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect members, and passed through their hearts. The cultist jerked up, and then fell into the pit with a thud. just suppressed Zhu Zhixian.
At the same time, swishing and swishing, countless arrows rained down from a distance, and I heard the screams of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect members one after another: "Oh no, the official army is here!" ”
I saw that the black pressed officers and soldiers were outflanking them from three directions, and these officers and soldiers were all cavalry, and they rushed to the front in an instant, and there were hundreds of people at a glance, not to mention that the other party was all heavy armored cavalry, and the Heavenly Tribulation Sect was basically infantry, with only a few horses, and the infantry was simply self-defeating against the heavy armored cavalry.
So the guards shouted, "Withdraw!" Retreat into the woods, and don't fight them! ”
The Heavenly Tribulation Cult threw down the corpses and human heads, and ran wildly towards the woods not far away, as long as they hid in the woods, the cavalry could not help them.
However, their feet could not keep up with the horse's hooves, and most of the Catholics were cut off and surrounded by the cavalry, except for the two guards who fled into the woods with a small number of Heavenly Tribulation cultists.
At this moment, it was the people of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect who tortured and killed the disciples of the Maitreya Sect before, and now, in turn, they became the prey of the pursuit under the iron hooves of the official cavalry.
The screams came and went, and the horse's hooves flew over the earthen kang where Yi Xingchen and them were hiding, but fortunately they didn't fall and stepped on them.
Yi Xingchen was very worried that if the rain fell again, it would flood his nose and he couldn't breathe, but fortunately, it happened that the officers and soldiers were killed, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When he heard the shouting and killing outside had subsided, Yi Xingchen lifted the dirt on his body and pulled it out, standing in the pit, only to see that the flat depression was full of corpses, including Maitreya Sect, Heavenly Tribulation Sect, as well as officers and soldiers, and hundreds of people died.
Thinking about it just now, it was really thrilling, if the officers and soldiers came a moment late, they were afraid that they would be discovered by that kid, then they would fall into the hands of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, and if they were counted, the big culprit in that hexagram was really fierce. Fortunately, the result was a good fortune, so Yi Xingchen was not very anxious, and he was really killed and successfully survived the danger.
He saw that there were only officers and soldiers around him now, and a small number of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect disciples had already surrendered on their knees and become prisoners, and the rest were killed on the spot.
The corners of Yi Xingchen's mouth couldn't help but smile, in fact, the sudden arrival of this officer and soldier cavalry was not a coincidence, but he arranged it.
For he calculated that this hexagram had a great omen. And knowing in advance that the Heavenly Tribulation Sect disciples would come to rob these show girls, originally he just concluded that the escorted officers and soldiers might have a bloody battle with the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, of course he didn't want the officers and soldiers to lose, and it would be miserable if he was in it, so he went to find Mei Lengxiang.
He told Mei Lengxiang about the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, and asked Mei Lengxiang to help him send a letter to Zhang Jiang, the commander of the Wei Command Division, telling him that at this hour in two days, he would lead all the troops he could mobilize to the south of Tunzhou, and there would be a surprise discovery. And the signature of his letter was written by the man in black in Xuantianguan.
Zhang was taken aback after seeing it, because he didn't know whether this man in black was friend or foe, according to the confessions of Xuankong Dao Chang and others, before their official army surrounded the Taoist temple, this man in black had already restrained them, and seriously injured those leaders of the White Lotus Sect, including the Wu Shi who entered the army. They surrounded the Taoist temple with heavy troops, and searched the Taoist temple to the bottom but did not find it. Later, the man in black suddenly appeared and broke out of the Taoist temple. Of course, they didn't know that it was Mei Lengxiang's uncle Huang Langzhong's fake plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
Now he suddenly received a letter from a man in black who claimed to be Xuantianguan, which made his soldiers feel that there would be a surprise in the south of Tunzhou, which made Zhang Jiang a little unsure of what to do for a while.
After much deliberation, he decided to take his troops to take a look. After all, this man in black is too mysterious, when he was in Xuantian Temple, this man in black was able to break into and subdue those White Lotus Sect disciples first, which was enough to prove his secret mastery of the White Lotus Sect, and intuitively felt that the surprise mentioned in this letter was likely to be related to the White Lotus Sect, judging from the fact that he subdued and seriously injured the White Lotus Sect, he was definitely not from the White Lotus Sect. As long as it's not, it should be fine. Anyway, he has hundreds of iron horsemen, even if he encounters the White Lotus Sect, he is not afraid, and he just happens to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
So, without telling anyone, he ambushed the southern part of Tunzhou with heavy armored cavalry. Because Yi Xingchen was the location where the accident might happen at that time, and the fire hexagram represented due south, he only told him in the letter that he was directly south of Tunzhou. The area due south was too large, and the place where he led his troops to ambush was several miles away from the place where the White Lotus Sect ambushed and escorted the Xiu female officers and soldiers. Therefore, he didn't know when the White Lotus Sect robbed and killed the officers and soldiers. Later, the officers and soldiers who were scattered ran around in a panic, and some ran to the place where they were ambushed, and after being stopped, they asked, Zhang Jiangzong knew that he was squatting in the wrong place, and immediately led the army to rush there, but he happened to encounter the people of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect who chased and captured the black-clothed man who captured the Thunder Banner Lord, and returned to the battlefield.
Yi Xingchen didn't have much hope when he wrote that letter, but he didn't expect it to really work.
The officers and soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield were startled when they saw a person suddenly standing up on the soil kang, and after a closer look, this person was wearing the costume of the Jinyi Guard, although the body was full of mud and water, covering most of the true colors of the clothes, but it was still recognizable from the exposed part that it was the flying fish suit of the Jinyi Guard. Only then did he know that it was Jinyiwei, and hurriedly came over to help Yi Xingchen climb out of the pit.
Several other people saw that Yi Xingchen was up, so they stood up and climbed out of the dirt pit with the help of the soldiers. Zhu Zhixian saw that there were officers and soldiers all around, and then he knew that a life had been picked up, and he couldn't help crying and laughing, holding Yi Xingchen's hand, and kept expressing his gratitude.
After Jinyiwei asked them about their identities, he hurriedly reported to Mr. Zhang.
As soon as Mr. Zhang heard that he had found a few surviving Jinyi guards and the local magistrate, he hurriedly rode over, turned over and dismounted, and saw Yi Xingchen and them looking embarrassed, with blood and mud on their bodies, and they didn't know how badly injured. In fact, the blood was poured out and adhered to them by the corpses that had fallen in their pit before, but it was indeed a little shocking to watch.
Mr. Zhang recognized Zhu Zhixian, and also recognized Yi Xingchen and the three of them, and hurriedly asked: "Lord Zhixian, three Jinyiwei brothers, why are you here?" Hurt? ”
Yi Xingchen said: "We were ordered to supervise the escort of show girls along the way. When they arrived here, Zhu Zhixian and they brought the local officials to reward the officers and soldiers, but they didn't expect the White Lotus Sect to dare to kill the officials and rebel, and suddenly rushed out and shot arrows to kill the officers and soldiers we escorted, and the three of us protected Zhu Zhixian and fought and retreated, until we retreated to the edge of the pit, because we were outnumbered, we could only take advantage of the chaos to hide, until you came, it was really fateful. ”
Mr. Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhu Zhixian sort out his clothes, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord Zhixian, this gang of White Lotus Sect is really a group of outlaws, but they have not escaped from my palm, most of them have been exterminated, and a small number of prisoners have been captured, and now it is peaceful, you don't have to worry." ”
was in danger before, Zhu Zhixian was discovered by the White Lotus Sect bandits again, and thought that he would definitely die now, but he didn't expect the officials and soldiers to arrive in time, and he really escaped death. I couldn't speak at the moment, I just kept nodding. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
