"It's a sect, of course!" Huang Siniang said proudly, "You guessed right, the enemy army outside the city is indeed not a Japanese national, but a Tatar." The Tatars are tall and long, and they are extremely strong everywhere......"

Su Qi coughed unnaturally: "Let's get to the point!" ”

"Well, their leader's name is also very strange, what is the name of General Baoyin. When I went, I saw him leading his generals to bow down to a statue of a god with great reverence, and muttering something out of his mouth, and I could not understand it. ”

Su Qipu also sorted out the key point from her inverted statement: the red sun pattern is a symbol of shamanism, and judging from the frequency of its appearance and the fact that the leader of the enemy army, General Baoyin, took the lead in leading the people to worship, this shamanism is quite popular among the enemy army.

This is an opportunity to take advantage of. Su Qi thought secretly, but unfortunately the news brought back by the female ghost was very limited......

Su Qi immediately set off to find the aunt and sister-in-law who were familiar with each other in Anzhou City, and asked them to help inquire that there were shamans in the city.

These Goryeo women and children have received a lot of favors from Yan Beijun and the three ladies, and now they have the opportunity to repay their kindness, and they have spared no effort, and women are innate and able to listen to the news, but in half a day, an old man with a unique costume was brought to Su Qi and Yingniang.

"Uncle is a shaman?"

Unexpectedly, the old man replied in stiff and broken Chinese: "Exactly." ”

Su Qi was very surprised, and continued to ask, "Where is the old man from?" ”

"I was originally a Tatar man. There are many Buddhists in the Duoyan tribe, but there are also shamans. Ten years ago, I was persecuted by Buddhists in my tribe and had to leave my homeland and travel to live in Goryeo. ”

Looks like you've found the right person! Su Qi and Yingniang glanced at each other, and humbly asked for advice: "Please tell us in detail about shamanism." ”

At dusk in the western mountains, Temur Baoyin under the city ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and it was another fruitless battle of attack and defense.

After four days of fierce fighting, the land in front of the city gate of Anzhou has been soaked in the blood of the war dead several times, and under the light of the setting sun, it is bloody red.

Rao is a battle-hardened veteran like Temur Baoyin, looking at this blood-stained land and the corpses and stumps of his compatriots who died in battle, he also felt unbearable.

May Tengri bless their souls and ascend to immortality as soon as possible. Temur Baoyin prayed silently in his heart for the robe.

Just as he was sighing and sighing, he suddenly heard a report from the soldiers: "General Da Xifei is here!" ”

Temur Baoyin had been under the command of Governor Onishi for more than a year, so he naturally knew that this Onishi Fei was a close confidant of Governor Onishi, and his status was quite high, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. "I've seen General Onishi!"

Da Xifei did not return the courtesy, in his heart, he had three points of disgust and seven points of jealousy for Temur Baoyin. He also knew that Temur Baoyin was a famous general of the Tatar generation, and he had some real ability in commanding troops to fight, and he was forced to join the Japanese army. If he is allowed to make a few military exploits and stand out in front of the commander, where will he still have the position of Da Xifei in the future?

Therefore, Da Xifei knew that Anzhou City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was a very difficult hard bone, but he still put on an impatient demeanor, and asked Baoyin: "Didn't General Baoyin say yesterday that the siege vehicle has been repaired, and he will definitely be able to capture Anzhou City today?" Why did you attack for a day, and you still look like this?! ”

"General, the defenders are under heavy artillery fire, it's really ......" Temur Baoyin was about to explain, but was interrupted impatiently by Onishi Fei, "Commander Onishi doesn't want to listen to your excuses!" Give you another day, tomorrow, this general will personally supervise the battle, if you can't capture Anzhou City again, the commander will be angry, and send you directly to see your Tengger God! Do you understand?! With that, he turned around and walked away.

Seeing Onishi flying away, Temur Baoyin's lieutenant general said angrily: "These Japanese people are also too deceitful!" Not to mention arranging for us to fight the most difficult Anzhou City, but also to use this to blackmail you, the general, and not to give me a way to live for the shaman army at all! ”

Temur Baoyin sighed, how could he not know that Daxi Fei was taking the opportunity to retaliate, but after all, he was a subordinate of Governor Daxi, and he was under the eaves, how could he not bow his head?

Tomorrow, I will definitely think of a way to break through Anzhou City...... Temur Baoyin was troubled in the sinking night.

It was night, there was no moon and no stars, the sky and the earth were pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.

In the middle of the night, the shamanic army camp.

"Have you heard, today Da Xifei gave our General Baoyin a death order, saying that if he can't capture Anzhou City again in the future, he will behead General Baoyin for questioning!" A soldier on patrol said in a whisper to several of his companions.

"Really? Tomorrow's battle will be difficult...... Having said that, what a good person our General Baoyin is, why did the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked Da Xifei embarrass him several times? ”

"You don't know that." A veteran ruffian waved his hand, "Our General Baoyin is brave and good at fighting, then Da Xifei is already jealous, plus Da Xifei led the army to attack Anzhou City and returned with a fiasco, and almost all the army was wiped out." Think about it, if General Baoyin captured Anzhou City and stole his limelight, would he give up? ”

"Alas, this Da Xifei has such a vicious mind that he will definitely go down to the beast path after death...... What was that? ”

Several guards and soldiers stopped chatting in an instant, listened attentively, and sure enough, they heard a faint whimper coming from the direction of the north city gate not far away.

"Let's go, let's go!" Several guards raised torches and walked together towards the city gate.

As they approached the gates, the sobs became clearer, like cries, like moans of pain.

"Who...... Who's there? A soldier asked boldly.

In response to him, a fire suddenly ignited.

A green fire appeared out of thin air in the dark night, hanging in the air, motionless.

"That'...... That's ......" The faint light of the torch reflected the frightened expression on the soldier's face, and several people stopped in unison, not daring to take a step forward.

But what frightened them even more was that immediately after, a second and a third appeared in the maddening green fire...... There were more and more fires, and the miserable green firelight floated in the night, swaying with the gust of wind blowing.

The cries and moans grew louder, and the soldiers could even hear the staccato words in between:

"It hurts...... It hurts......"

"Help Me ......"

At this time, each soldier's face was contorted into a ball of horror, and he watched in amazement as the green flames appeared and extinguished out of thin air, his throat made a "Titica" phlegm sound, and his breathing involuntarily accelerated. Finally, like a rooster being choked by the neck, a soldier squeezed out two terrifying words from his throat:

"Ghost Fire!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was cold, trembling, and wanted to run with their legs, but their legs did not obey the call at all. When he was frightened, he suddenly saw a few of the ghost fires flickering, and they actually floated in his direction! At the same time, the whimpering sound became clearer:

"I can't fight anymore...... Tengger Anger...... To burn out the soul...... Let's go......"

Hearing the ghost fire say "go away", the soldiers came back to their senses, as if they had blown up the pot, and ran away, shouting like crazy as they ran: "Ghost fire!" Ghost Fire! Tengger is furious! The god of fire has come to ask for his soul! ”

That night, no one in the shamanic army slept and everyone was terrified. A rumor spread like a plague throughout the army: Tengger was so angry that the god of fire burned the souls of the dead soldiers...... So that their souls are scattered, and they will never be able to go to the immortal heaven again!

Temur Baoyin also heard the news, and although he had not seen the ghost fire with his own eyes, he would be skeptical about it, but he knew in his heart that the power of this rumor was better than that of 10,000 enemy troops.

The shamanic army led by him has always been particularly brave and good at fighting, and one of the reasons is that shamans are not afraid of death. Because in shamanic teachings, the death of the human body and the immortality of the soul will be connected to the eternal heaven by the god Tengri, and enjoy eternal peace and joy.

However, the shamanic teachings also say that if a believer does evil in the world, does something that should not be done, and offends a good person, he will be burned out by the god of fire, and his soul will be burned out.

For shamans, this is the most terrible punishment.

Because of a few ghost fires, the military spirit of the shaman army was shaken.

Temur Baoyin patrolled the camp overnight, pacified the soldiers, and insisted that the so-called "ghost fire" was a trick by the enemy and must not be trusted.

But the effect was not significant, after all, the ghost fire ignited out of thin air was seen by the soldiers with their own eyes, and the painful moans of the burned souls were also heard by their own ears.

So, the soldiers gathered spontaneously in groups of three or five, lit a fire outside the tent and prayed that the god Tengri would not condemn him.

Temur Baoyin didn't know whether the soldiers' actions were right or wrong, and he couldn't stop them, but he knew that tomorrow's battle would be more and more difficult to fight.

Temur Baoyin did not close his eyes all night, in fact, the entire shamanic army basically stayed awake all night, all kinds of rumors and fears spread like a plague, enveloping the hearts of every believer, and the soldiers prayed with trepidation until the rising sun.

Looking at the brightening sky in the east, Temur Baoyin let out a long sigh: According to the death order of Commander Onishi, the siege must begin.

When he walked out of the camp and looked at the Anzhou City Tower that made him helpless in the daylight, he could hardly believe his eyes.

The castle tower, which was originally stained with artillery fire and blood, was filled with shaman flags at some point!

Hundreds of flags of different colors, painted with Tengri statues and shamanic symbols, spread all over the city, fluttering in the wind in the brilliant morning glow, making it particularly magnificent.

On each flag, a line of striking shamanic characters is written with a cinnabar pen:

Tengger God bless Anju City!

"Tengger God bless Anzhou City......" Temur Baoyin repeated this sentence over and over again, until the herald beside him couldn't help but ask: "General, did you give the order to attack the city?" ”

"Siege?" Temur Baoyin smiled bitterly and looked at the soldiers behind him who knelt on the ground and worshiped towards the Anzhou City Tower, "How can this siege the city...... "The shaman flag is a sacred object of shamanism, and the believers should worship sincerely when they see it, and they dare not have the slightest blasphemy, so let them attack the city tower covered with the god flag at this time...... It is tantamount to letting Buddhists spit on Shakyamuni Buddha, and they will not dare to be killed.

Anzhou guard Mu Yunmei, you are really a good means!
