Chapter 502: The Last Battle

Suo Wuxian didn't know that the current Heavenly Dao Alliance was completely different from the original boss's Heavenly Dao Alliance. After the boss ignored the affairs in the alliance, Fang Chenqian and the elders started the layout in secret, not to mention that Suo Wuxian didn't know, even the boss Fang Chenyi didn't know either.

From this point, it may be seen that Fang Chenqian's ambition and strategy are still above the boss Fang Chenyi.

In the gunpowder prison, Xiao Qi and the brocade guards began to interrogate the black-clothed prisoners who were captured alive one by one. At the same time, Yun Zhongfei took Suo Wusoul to Fang Chenqi's corpse. Facing Fang Chenqi, who was blown up beyond recognition, Suo Wuxian looked at it for a long time before he said: "Commander Yun, this person is somewhat similar to an elder in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but Suo is not sure. ”

Although he was a little disappointed, Yun Zhongfei still nodded and said, "Well, the corpse was blown up like this, it is indeed difficult to confirm." When Yun fought with him, this person covered his face and didn't see his appearance clearly, but Yun still remembered some of his martial arts routines. Lord Suo, come and see. After speaking, Yun Zhongfei drew his sword and practiced.

Looking at it, Suo Wuxian suddenly shouted, waved his palms, cut into the sword style, Yun Zhongfei's long sword was horizontal, simulating Fang Chenqi's swordsmanship and returning a move.

"Commander Yun, this elder in the Heavenly Dao Alliance is good at swordsmanship, but it is not the Fang family's own martial arts, and his learning is very complicated, and it is impossible to be sure of Suo, but what Suo can be sure of is that this is not the Wu family's swordsmanship."

Yun Zhongfei said: "Yes, what the man in black is indeed not the Wu family's swordsmanship, although his swordsmanship is exquisite, it looks chaotic. Master Suo, it's okay, let's go and see the case of the Seven Princes, there are a lot of prisoners, so naturally we will ask about it. ”

Jin Yiwei's interrogation methods were so clever that it didn't take long for almost all the people in black to confess, and they said the same.

These black-clothed men came from an unnamed village under the rule of Jiande Mansion at the junction of Zhejiang and Anhui, and they named themselves "Yongle Army", except for the occasional big boss, the rest of the people in charge did not appear in their true faces, and their chief instructor was a bald monk with high martial arts. As you can hear from the accent, the rest of the military instructors are from the north. These black-clothed ** are all refugees who fled from the north a few years ago, and there is only one reason to join the Yongle Army, and that is to be able to feed them. In the first few years, they were mainly engaged in the work of clearing wasteland and farming, but in the last two years, they have been like sergeants and soldiers, training every day, and for them, as long as they can eat enough, it doesn't matter what they do.

"Yongle?" Suo Wuxian was stunned for a moment when he heard the man in black claiming to be the Yongle Army, and said to Xiao Qi, "Commander, it seems that my subordinates have heard these two words, and when I return to the city, I will go to my eldest brother and ask." ”

Xiao Qi knew that Suo Wusoul was from the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and the location where the man in black confessed was not far from the headquarters of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. ”

"Well, my subordinates also feel this way, if it is true, my subordinates really didn't expect Fang Chenqian to make such a big name."

In this battle, more than 300 men in black were killed and seriously wounded, 46 were captured, and the Song army lost 149 people and wounded more than 300 people, most of whom were killed by several leaders of the men in black.

After the interrogation, Xiao Qi ordered: "Come on, escort the forty-six traitors back to the city." ”

"Yes, sir."

"Mr. Suo, you go directly to your eldest brother, ask clearly, and then go to the Jinyi Guard to meet."

"Okay, then the subordinate will go first."

Suo Wuji has been following Fang Chenyi all the year round, and he knows more about the history of the Heavenly Dao Alliance than Suo Wuji.

Suo Wuxian briefly recounted the incident, and after listening, Suo Wuji said: "In the past, Fang La, the ancestor of the Fang family, could not bear the oppression of traitors in the court, so he and his eight friends fell into the grass together, and after several battles, at the peak of the establishment of the regime, including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi of six states and fifty-two counties, when the regime was established, Fang La called himself the Holy Prince, and changed the yuan to 'Yongle', therefore, in the early days of the establishment of the Heavenly Dao League, some members of the alliance also called themselves Yongle League. ”

In ancient times, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he generally had to change the name of the year, which was called "changing the yuan".

When Xiao Qi listened to Suo Wusoul's relay, he said: "Mr. Suo, you stay here and continue to interrogate, see if there are any other clues, I will now enter the palace Empress Dowager Ming, and ask to send troops to the headquarters of the Heavenly Dao Alliance to find out." ”

"Yes, sir."

The location of Jinyiwei is close to the palace, and Xiao Qi is a person in the palace, and he is familiar with the road, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he has come to the front of Ningkun Palace.

"Father-in-law Li, please inform the Queen Mother, Xiao Qi has something urgent to see."

"It turned out to be the Seventh Father-in-law, wait a minute, the Queen Mother is talking to the Queen Mother, and a certain family will go." Gonggong Li knew that Xiao Qi was the emperor's confidant and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he didn't dare to slack off when he saw his hurried state.

After only a moment, Gonggong Li came out and said, "Seventh Gonggong, please." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Li."

After entering, Xiao Qi hurriedly knelt on the ground and asked Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu to say goodbye: "Xiao Qi see the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother." ”

"No courtesy, Xiao Qi, get up and speak."

"Empress Dowager Xie."

"What?" Xie Dao Qingai and Wu, and his attitude towards Xiao Qi is also much better.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen, is about the man in black."

"Let's talk about it." Xie Daoqing said lightly.

After listening to Xiao Qi's report, Xie Daoqing immediately agreed to Xiao Qi's request, and immediately asked Gonggong Li to send Shi Yanzhi and Lan Yu, after everyone summed up, it was decided to send three hundred Jinyi guards and two battalions of regular troops, led by Xiao Qi and Suo Wusoul, to Bangyuan Village in Jiande Mansion, and from the dragon teeth, the imperial guards were drawn fifty good hands to accompany them, in order to deal with the opponent's masters, under Xie Daoqing's permission, he also specially received a hundred projectiles from the gunpowder supervisor.

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Xiaoqi, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Suo Wuxian, the deputy commander, led more than 1,300 Song troops to the direction of Jiande Mansion. Shi Yanzhi and Zhao Bao were worried that Xiao Qi had no experience in leading troops, and the two battalions they allocated were all experienced veterans.

On the last day of June, I led the army to Lumen Mountain again, preparing to break through the last formation of the five phalanxes, the sky covering the array.

According to Gongsun Xiaochen, the Heavenly Covering Array is the most difficult and easiest formation to break among the five squares.

There are sixteen heavenly arrays in the heavenly array, the outer square and the inner circle, the four are the wind, its image is the sky, the lord of the array, the first of the soldiers, make good use of the three armies, and its shape is not biased. The so-called Sixteen Heavenly Arrays are set up according to the innate sixteen hexagrams, and the real innate sixteen hexagrams have been lost at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, which is the main reason why Zhuge Liang's eight formations did not reach the ninth level of the formation. Whether it is the eight-array diagram or the five-square array, its core formation is the Heavenly Covering Array, and the Heavenly Covering Array in the ninth-level formation must use the innate sixteen hexagrams as the sixteen Heavenly Arrays, therefore, Gongsun Xiaochen said that the Heavenly Covering Array is the most unformed formation of the five squares, which is the reason why it is the easiest to break. As for the most difficult to break, it is because the Lord who breaks the formation needs a person whose destiny is located to take on it.

After Gongsun Xiaochen euphemistically expressed this meaning, I laughed and said, "This is not simple, let me be the main commander of the formation." ”

Gongsun Xiaochen said with mixed feelings: "The emperor is the chief general, that is the best, but ......"

Of course, I knew what Gongsun Xiaochen was worried about, and said, "Don't worry, there are a lot of good hands around me to protect me, how can there be any problems." Gongsun Xiaochen, you can arrange it. ”

"That's good. With the emperor coming out, the fortune of this Heavenly Covering Array will be suppressed by the emperor's heavenly fortune, and its power will be greatly weakened. Gongsun Xiaochen said, "In this heavenly array of the Mongols, in fact, there are only eight small formations arranged according to the direction of the gossip, according to the estimation of the last general, there are eight guards in each of the eyes, a total of 8864 people, and the number of our army into the battle can only be 64 people, every group of eight people, respectively, attack Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, Kan eight formations, the emperor and Yuan Shishu led six personal guards to attack the Qian, Lingfei Niangniang and other eight people are responsible for attacking the Kun array, and the main generals of the remaining six formations are General Shen Mo, General Zhang Quanyi, General Wen Zhang, General Hu Yande, General Xie Daolin and General Meng Tianya. ”

After the arrangement, Gongsun Xiaochen handed each master a bag, and then said: "The Heavenly Covering Array is the smallest formation among the five squares, and the phantom technique is originally the most powerful, but the emperor's Emperor Star fate far exceeds the spiritual illusion created by this formation, so it will be the simplest, and the difference between the other four formations is that the eight small formations of the Heavenly Covering Array must be broken at the same time. ”

After taking the bag, I gave the order, and the sixty-four people who broke the formation walked towards the last formation of the five phalanxes.

After entering the Sky Covering Array, it was pitch black everywhere, and I couldn't see my five fingers, and I didn't know where the yin wind came from, "whoosh, whoosh" blew straight, and was accompanied by bursts of ghosts crying wolf howls, this cry was eerie, it sounded creepy, very infiltrating, it seemed to come from a long distance, but it seemed to be around.

However, to everyone's puzzlement, wherever I passed, the darkness disappeared on its own.

Everyone thought in their hearts: "Could it be that this is the luck of the Emperor Star?" ”

According to Gongsun Xiaochen's plan, I walked around, and after walking, the entire Heavenly Cover Array became bright, and there was no difference from the outside. I looked around and found myself standing in a circular square, surrounded by sixteen wooden gates, which seemed to come out of thin air, separating us from the outside world.
