Chapter Twenty-Five: A Fierce Fight
After Zhang Wuji finished speaking, he introduced Song Qingshu to Fan Yao, Fan Yao heard that Song Qingshu was a disciple of the third generation of Wudang, he was surprised, and secretly said: Zhang Sanfeng's apprentices and grandchildren are so powerful, and the living immortals really live up to their reputation.
The three of them all sat down, and Fan Yao asked about the purpose of Zhang Wuji and Song Qingshu.
Zhang Wuji told Fan Yao the cause and effect of the incident.
Fan Yao sneered when he heard this: "These hypocrites all deserve to die, even if the sect leader saves them, they may not be grateful." ”
Song Qingshu said: "Right now, the great enemy of the Ming Sect is the Yuan Court, and the grievances with several major factions can be settled in the future. ”
Zhang Wuji nodded in agreement.
Fan Yao saw that Zhang Wuji had made up his mind, so he no longer objected, and continued: "As far as I know, the people of the five major factions are all imprisoned on the top floor of Wan'an Temple, and they have all been affected by the ten incense soft tendons of the Mongols, and their skills have been lost, and it is very difficult to rescue them. ”
Song Qingshu also said: "And I just heard that the Mongolian Tartars have also prepared a large amount of firewood and grass at the bottom of the tower of Wan'an Temple, and they will light a fire whenever there is a situation." ”
The two listened to Song Qingshu's words and secretly scolded Yuan Ting for being vicious.
Song Qingshu told Fan Yao that there were still six major sects outside the capital that had already learned the methods. Fan Yao shook his head and said, "Tonight's movement is too loud, most of them will definitely be under martial law, and they won't be able to enter." ”
Zhang Wuji blamed himself for hearing this: "It's all because I'm too impulsive." ”
Song Qingshu said to Fan Yao: "Then we can only rely on the three of us, if you want to rescue the people of the five major factions, you must first solve the poison on their bodies, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the sky." ”
Fan Yao knew what Song Qingshu meant, and after pondering for a while, he said, "I should be able to find a chance to get the antidote to the Ten Spices Soft Tendon Powder." It's just that when the time comes, I don't know if the people of the major factions will believe me to take the antidote? ”
Song Qingshu said: "This is easy to do, as long as Fan Youenvoy gives the antidote." ”
Fan Yaoxin said: Also, Song Qingshu is from Wudang after all. He said to Zhang Wuji again: "Sect Master, as for the firewood and grass at the bottom of the tower, we have to find a way to get rid of it." ”
Song Qingshu said again: "Later, I will write a letter to trouble Fan You Envoy to send it to the people outside the city, and let them answer it outside the city when the time comes." ”
Fan Yao nodded and signaled that it was no problem.
The three of them deliberated for a moment and decided to do it tomorrow night.
The next day, as soon as it was dark, Song Qingshu and Zhang Wuji entered Wan'an Temple, and after waiting for about half an hour, Fan Yao came over and gave Song Qingshu the antidote.
Song Qingshu took the antidote all the way to the top of the tower, and after quietly killing the two patrols, he searched room by room, and sure enough, he saw that the five major factions were locked up in five rooms.
Song Qingshu held the Yitian Sword, cut off the door locks of the five rooms, and gave the antidote to the people of several major factions.
Since everyone knew that Song Qingshu was the son of Song Yuanqiao in Wudang, they did not doubt it.
Only when he saw the Yitian Sword in Song Qingshu's hand becoming different, his face changed greatly. However, the situation was urgent, and Dao did not go crazy on the spot.
The people of the five major factions recovered their strength, followed Song Qingshu down the temple tower, and as soon as they came, they saw the Mongolian Tartars holding them ready to prevent fire.
The crowd was shocked and angry, and without saying a word, they fought with the Mongol Tatars.
Originally, everyone was a good hand on the rivers and lakes, and there was no problem in dealing with the few Mongol soldiers. However, due to their long-term loss of skills, although they took antidotes, they were still a little weak after all, so they suffered many casualties in the battle with the Mongol soldiers.
Song Qingshu let out a long roar: "Everyone rush out with me, otherwise the Mongolian army will be in danger when it comes." After saying that, he took the lead and rushed out to kill, and saw that Song Qingshu seemed to have turned into a sword, constantly breaking through the encirclement of the Mongols.
Zhang Wuji ignored Fan Yao's opposition and walked at the rear to be responsible for the rear, blocking the pursuit of the Mongol Tatars.
Song Qingshu led everyone out of Wan'an Temple, and ran in the direction of the city gate, fortunately, Wan'an Temple was very close to the city gate, and everyone came to the city gate, and the soldiers who guarded the city fought and killed.
Fan Yao released a signal flare at this time, and after a while, he saw that people from the six major factions and the Ming Sect were constantly climbing the city wall and killing the enemy together, and after a while, Song Qingshu saw the Wudang Five Heroes on the city wall.
Song Qingshu, who was standing at the top of the city gate, saw that the Mongolian soldiers who were coming in a steady stream were in a hurry, this was not a solution, so he shouted: "Everyone find a way to open the city gate together." ”
After listening to Song Qingshu's words, everyone woke up from the mood of constant fighting, and everyone approached the city gate while killing the enemy.
Those who were poisoned before, and whose internal strength has not fully recovered, and those who were injured were covered by the rest of the people inside, trying to open the city gates.
Suddenly, there was a slight tremor in the earth, and the tremor grew louder and louder, and only a trembling voice was heard: "It is the strange soldier of the Mongol Tartars." ”
The heavy city gate was finally opened at this time, and a group of martial arts figures performed light skills to the extreme of their lives, and fled for their lives to the woods where the six major factions had set up camp.
The Mongolian cavalry who arrived later pursued the crowd, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and it was estimated that most of the people present would die under the iron hooves of the Mongolian cavalry.
Just when everyone's hearts were like ashes, Wei Yixiao came with a group of Mingjiao members wearing red fire seal costumes, threw a large amount of gunpowder and dry firewood on the road, and as soon as the people of the six major factions and Mingjiao passed, they lit them with torches, and then covered everyone to retreat in the direction of the woods.
The Mongolian cavalry that arrived later was greatly confused by the burning formation, especially the war horses under them were frightened by the continuous explosion of gunpowder, and many Mongolian soldiers were trampled to death.
