Yuan Xing and the other six warrior monks hid in a ravine, listening to the southern accents of the Song army in the distance, they adjusted their breath evenly, and they didn't dare to breathe. ◢ With ◢ Dream ◢ Xiao ◢.lā The Song army in the distance was walking on the road leading to the Shaolin Temple, and Yuan Xing and the others were waiting for the Song army to pass, and then went around the back of the Song army to attack. This method is one of the techniques used by Shaolin monks to deal with thieves, and even if only a few elites harass them in the back, they can get into quite a bit of chaos.

At this time, it was already the end of October in 333 of the Great Song Dynasty, and it had entered December according to the western calendar. Sitting cross-legged in the recess of the cold ravine, even if he wore a few more monk's robes, Yuan Xing still felt cold. The warrior monk who came next to him kept holding his hands. One of them couldn't help but say, "If only I could make a fire." ”

"Wouldn't lighting a fire just let the officers and soldiers see us!" Yuan Xing whispered at his companion's stupid thoughts.

But it's useless to just oppose it, everyone just feels cold. The monk who suggested lighting the fire was stunned for a while and then made a new suggestion, "It's better to go and hug some grass mats, it's really cold to sit here." ”

"Don't go." Yuan Xing whispered again.

The crowd fell silent again, and they huddled together to make themselves comfortable. At this time, the lowest temperature on the plains was already below five degrees Celsius, and the temperature on the rocky mountains such as Mt. Shomuro was lower than that on the plains. The monks had been hiding here since the early hours of the morning, and after more than ten hours, they were all wilted.

At this moment, I heard the sound of someone pulling away the grass not far away. Yuan Xing was startled, and he quickly held his breath. The sound of pulling the grass was a little softer, which made Yuan Xing think that maybe someone from Song Jun had run here to pay tribute. After a moment's pause, several Song soldiers suddenly popped out from the side of the ravine, and they raised their muskets and shouted at Yuan Xing and the others, "Raise your hands!" ”

Yuan Xing was really shocked. It's not what he thought. Shouldn't these people be arrogant and continue to move along the road that the Shaolin Temple has awayed? Bandits have been doing this for years.

On the side of the headquarters, a small group of monks was escorted in every once in a while. After the Song army cleaned up Songshan Mountain, they could already join hands to surround Shaolin Temple's old nest Shaomu Mountain. From the time they arrived at Songshan to the present, the Song army has carefully searched one ditch after another, and has not let go of any place that can be ambushed. From approaching Shaomuro Mountain to the present, the monk's squad was really taken out.

No one underestimated these monks, although they were all frozen and lost a lot of combat effectiveness, but from a military point of view, those who could be sent out to fight alone were elite. For these elites, Song Jun also immediately interrogated. originally thought that the monks would be extremely firm, but I didn't expect that after a few rifle butts, some of the monks confessed.

The headquarters didn't care about the Shaolin Temple defense plan provided by the monks, and the generals who had been in a hundred battles knew that the execution of the Shaolin Temple couldn't make any exquisite defenses. The firepower of cold weapons is too short and the lethality is too low, and in the eyes of the army of hot weapons, their defense line is too primitive. The location of the scripture pavilion provided by the monks is what the generals care about. The things that Zhao Guanjia focused on, everyone naturally had to do it at all costs.

Master Zhishen, who was in the Shaolin Temple, had also received the news, and the Song army easily broke through the periphery of Shaolin Mountain and approached the Shaolin Temple. The monks who watched the Song army camp on the top of the mountain froze all night, but saw that the Song army camp was extremely quiet and there was no attack.

Knowing that the Song army's camp was safe and sound, Master Zhishen felt that he couldn't wait any longer. Now it is the Song army that controls the speed of the march, and if the Song army accelerates the march, it will be able to rush to the outside of the Shaolin Temple in a day at most. Even if the Song army continued to march so slowly, it only took two days to reach the outside of Shaolin Temple. By that time, it would be too late.

So a monk secretly left the temple and disappeared on the mountain road of Shaomuro Mountain. On the same day, Yang Tiexin received a letter from Master Zhishen. The great monk said in the letter that the Shaolin monks had offended the imperial court by speaking wild words. But the monks are only used to it in Songshan Ye, and they have no intention of rebelling. Now the monks led by Master Zhishen are willing to admit their mistakes and never mention that Songshan is the wild words of Shaolin Temple. Later, the Shaolin monks obediently shrank on the land they got in the Northern Song Dynasty to chant and worship the Buddha, hoping that the officials and soldiers would let Shaolin go.

Yang Tiexin couldn't help but sneer after reading the letter, and then handed the letter to the other generals. After the generals crowded together and read it, someone had already scolded, "These thieves know that they are begging for mercy at this time, and they haven't thought about how much food the court has spent on this battle." Selling the whole Shaolin Temple as pork is not worth the money. ”

Tens of thousands of people in the camp needed to eat and drink, and that was the minimum standard for the troops to stay behind. The food of the combat troops was much higher than that standard. Two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, one cold dish, one broth, one porridge. After eating, there is also a fruit or two to eat. In order to completely annihilate the thieves of Shaolin Temple, the imperial court sent 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress it. A general who gave up fighting just because of a letter would probably be removed from his post immediately if he dared to make such a decision.

Yang Congrong waited for everyone to read the letter, and after discussing a few words, he told the monk who sent the letter, "Go back and tell this ...... Monk Zhishen, obediently come out and surrender, we will not kill the prisoners. ”

The monk who sent the letter no longer had the arrogance of claiming to be the overlord of Songshan not long ago, and immediately knelt down and begged after hearing the answer, "Master, we know that we are wrong. I hope the master will give him a way to live. ”

"I have given you a way to live, come out and surrender obediently, we will not kill the prisoners. As for whether you want to accompany someone, continue to be powerful in Shaolin Temple. Don't even think about it. ”

Seeing that no matter how much he pleaded, the monk who reported the news could only rush back. The Song army also continued to move forward, and finally approached the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple at noon the next day.

Seeing that the Song army didn't seem to have been attacked at all, the Great Monk Zhikong, the representative of the main battle faction, began to suspect in his heart that the three or four hundred monks sent out before had fled because they were afraid, otherwise it would have to have some effect. However, at this time, the official army had arrived at the gate of Shaolin Temple, and the great monk Zhikong found that the three or four thousand monks of Shaolin Temple could at most defend the temple, not to mention Songshan, they couldn't even defend Shaolin Mountain.

Seeing that the officials and soldiers were gathering people at the gate and preparing to rush into the temple, the great monk Zhikong gritted his teeth and went to the door under the gaze of a group of monks, big and small. Not long after, the cavalry of the Song Army came out of the array, arrived at the gate of the Shaolin Temple, and said loudly to Zhikong and others, "You monks, listen, we are the troops of the Great Song Yinshan Theater, and we are here to arrest you and send you to Kaifeng for trial." If you surrender obediently, you will not die. ”

Although the monks were all shocked by the majestic military appearance of the Song army outside, but at this time, the loser could not lose the battle, and without waiting for the great monk Zhikong to speak, Yuan Zhen next to him said angrily, "Aren't your officers and soldiers bullying our Shaolin Temple by virtue of the large number of people." If you have the courage, you will send someone to fight it alone, and if we lose, it will not be too late to surrender. ”

The correspondent here saw that the monks were like this, turned the horse's head and returned to the Song army's military formation. Repeating the monks' words to Yang Tiexin, the correspondent felt that he would immediately hear Commander Yang Tiexin's order to shower the Shaolin Temple with artillery.

Yang Tiexin didn't speak immediately, he thought for a while before saying to the correspondent, "Tell the monks of Shaolin Temple that we will send three hundred and one people, and let them also send three hundred and one people, and everyone will fight alone to see if the so-called Shaolin Temple of Tianwu will win, or our officers and soldiers can win." ”

The correspondent was stunned, and Yang Tiexin waved his hand, "Just go and tell the monk of Shaolin Temple." ”

The correspondent rode away, and the chief of staff next to him immediately asked, "Commander, is this inappropriate?" ”

"What's out of place. Do you think the martial function of Shaolin Temple surpasses ours? Yang Tiexin said confidently.

The chief of staff said anxiously: "The world's martial arts are out of Shaolin." And how do we use gambling to win or lose when we fight? ”

Yang Tiexin shook his head slightly, and without waiting for Yang Tiexin to speak, the political commissar said, "I think it's okay to do this." Shaolin Temple prides itself on the world's martial arts out of Shaolin, and after our troops completely clean them up, no one will be foolish in the future. ”

The chief of staff saw that the commissar agreed with the commander's strange idea, and there was nothing he could do. In the military, the commander and the political commissar are the two main responsible persons. The Chief of Staff was only one of the members of the Society. Then the chief of staff could only order the troops to begin the selection of personnel.

The great monk of Zhikong here was also stunned when he learned that Song Jun was willing to gamble. The army dared to compete with the monks of Shaolin Temple, and the Shaolin monks felt that they had the chance to win. However, to pick out 301 people, this is also a very strange request. Both sides simply sent people to discuss the specific content of the gambling fight. Song Jun gave an explanation here. If a few people gamble, there will always be all kinds of accidents. With 301 men on each side, 301 battles proved the strength of both sides.

In the end, Song Jun also made a suggestion that if the Shaolin Temple felt that its people could fight, then it could also send 301 people each to implement wheel warfare. That is, one person fights until he is defeated, and whichever side loses all the 301 people first, which side loses.

The great monks were a little relieved to see that the Song army did not attack immediately. Master Zhikong felt that he had finally found an opportunity for the Shaolin Temple, so he naturally didn't want to discuss anything more. The envoy sent by the great monk Zhishen before brought back a request for the unconditional surrender of the Shaolin Temple, although he did not believe that the official army would really be trustworthy, but he also felt that he had to at least frustrate the spirit of the official army.

Neither side objected, so the bet was established. At this time, the great monk Zhishen had already understood that the monks of the squad sent out were killed by the official army without even hurting the hair of the official army, and he regretted in his heart that many monks there were actually quite capable of fighting.

Early the next morning, Shaolin Temple and Song Jun agreed on a fighting venue. It's right in the middle of two hillsides outside the Shaolin Temple. The ground there was quickly paved and tamped into a fighting battleground. That night, a small number of extremists among the monks of Shaolin Temple went to attack the camp of the Song army, but the monks were blown up by the mines laid by the Song army. Seeing that the Song army was so rigorously arranged, and the extremists suffered all the casualties in the attack, they could no longer make enough noise, and this 301 gambling battle officially kicked off on the morning of the third day.

When the Great Song Dynasty had a movie, hundreds of movies with the theme of this gambling battle were released in a hundred years. In the early days, it was relatively primitive and tried to restore the scene at that time. In the later stage, all kinds of spoofs began to appear in this gambling arena.

For example, before the gambling fight began, a beautiful nun stepped on a calfskin stiletto heel and climbed onto the brightly lit battle platform, and shouted in the direction of the Song Jun's stands, "Song Jun's friends, how are you!" On the seats of the Song army, the war drums rumbled, and the voices were full of voices.

Then the nun turned to the Shaolin Temple and asked loudly, "Friends of the Shaolin Temple, how are you!" ”

The monks of Shaolin Temple blew the Dharma horn, beat the drums, and rang the bell. As a hammer for striking the bell, there are several variants of gold paint, a monk who has practiced the bronze man method and the iron head gong.

After the initial warm-up, the beautiful nun walked to the center of the fighting ring made of stone, surrounded by exquisite carved stone pillars and reliefs, "Today is a good day, we will see who is the number one in the world." In the end, it is the great monk of Shaolin Temple who has been inherited for thousands of years, or the army of the invincible Zhao Guanjia. Whoever wins, inherits the great name. All the hot guys, short hair or no hair, will do their best here. Let's bless them. ”

As the words spoke, a team of hot dance girls wearing boots and cool clothes rushed to the stage and had a hot dance. At the end of the opening dance, the personnel of both sides took to the gorgeous stage. On a scorching summer day, the battle began.

In fact, at the beginning of November 333 of the Great Song Dynasty, when the gambling battle began, neither the Song army nor the monks of Shaolin Temple were excited. The cold wind made everyone too lazy to speak. The Song army also had long cotton coats with standard equipment. The monks could only wrap themselves in quilts.

The Shaolin monks are confident in their own strength, and these 301 battles are one-on-one bets, and each person can only play once. The first to play was fist and foot kung fu, and the people on both sides were on the slope. The Song army was better, and the officers asked everyone to sit down according to the queue, and their legs had to lean on their comrades, and they had a little support for each other. So you can see it all. Shaolin monks have never done all kinds of queue training, let alone training to stay on the hillside. Everyone wanted to find a comfortable position to stand, but you pushed me, I squeezed you, and it became a mess.

Some people see people on both sides standing facing each other and saluting each other as the referee asks. Then because he was uncomfortable standing, he began to look left and right. After less than half a minute, I turned my head to look down, but saw that the monk of Shaolin Temple had fallen to the ground and rolled in pain. Apparently defeated.

Previously, Song Jun and Shaolin Temple agreed. Once one side is knocked down, it is counted as twenty strokes, and if you can't get up within twenty strokes, you lose. The Shaolin Temple monk who was the first to appear endured the severe pain in his chest and abdomen, and barely stood up when he counted to eighteen. The two sides continued to fight again. But seeing Song Jun's boxer, a swift lateral movement, another thrust had already arrived in front of the monk. Then the Shaolin Temple monk received a heavy punch in the lower abdomen. The monk bent down, clutched his stomach, and slowly fell to the ground.

This time, after counting twenty times, the monk couldn't stand up.
