Chapter 9: The Invasion of the Great Army
Before the voice fell, I saw Zhao Zhijing running in from outside with sweat on his forehead. His face was a little pale, his breathing was a little rapid, and he was obviously in a hurry.
"It's coming so fast!" Ma Yu frowned, and his face was solemn.
I thought that the Mongol army would not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. But now it seems that he still underestimated their determination.
Hey, things are in trouble.
Ma Yu and Qiu Chuji glanced at each other, their faces full of sorrow.
The two of them thought that they would have one night of preparation time to send some of the proud disciples of the sect away, but now that the Mongolian cavalry appeared outside the mountain gate, it broke all the plans of the two.
When Guo Jing heard this, his eyes flashed a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you Dao Masters in trouble? ”
Ma Yu shook his head helplessly, and told Guo Jing what happened during the day.
Guo Jing listened to Ma Yu's words, and his face was full of embarrassment.
Mongol prince Hodu!
Let's not talk about which prince is the son and nephew, just by virtue of the identity of the Mongolian prince, the Mongols will definitely not give up. Now that the Mongol cavalry has arrived, I am afraid that the large army is not far away.
Especially at present, the Mongolian army of more than 100,000 troops is besieging Tongguan, and the distance between Zhongnanshan and Tongguan is too close. Don't talk about a small Quanzhen Sect, even if the Southern Song Dynasty army fights against the Mongols, they don't dare to say that they can win in battle!
Faced with this near-death situation, Guo Jing was extremely difficult in his heart.
It stands to reason that he has a deep relationship with the Quanzhen Sect, and he should not retreat at this time, no matter what. It's just that such a hopeless battle, even Guo Jing has to think carefully.
Ma Yu looked at Guo Jing's embarrassed expression and sighed: "At present, the Mongolian army has not yet arrived, so Jing'er should hurry up and leave with this little benefactor." ”
When Guo Jing heard this, the embarrassment on his face disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "Where is this Dao Chief, although Guo Jing is not talented, he can't abandon Quanzhen at this time." ”
Ma Yu's face showed a little emotion, and he shook his head helplessly: "Jing'er can have this heart, we are already very satisfied. It's just that the Mongolian army is about to arrive, even if Jing'er stays, what can it do? ”
Guo Jing's heavy brows furrowed, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Even if he is a martial arts master, what can he do in the face of thousands of troops like a torrent? Although he asked himself that his skills were not weak, he had no way to face the Mongolian army that was about to arrive.
Ma Yu was silent for two breaths, and said in a deep voice: "If Jing'er really wants to help, we have a request, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
"What are these words, Dao Chief?" Guo Jing's heavy brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.
Ma Yu waved his hand, stopped Guo Jing's words, glanced at Qiu Chuji, and said in a deep voice: "This time the Mongol army is coming, and the Quanzhen Sect cannot avoid it. We only hope that Jing'er can take a few Quanzhen disciples to the Southern Song Dynasty, and if something happens at that time, Quanzhen will also. ”
When Ma Yu said this, his expression was a little gloomy, and he couldn't say any more.
When Guo Jing saw this, he couldn't help but speak: "Why don't you leave together?" ”
Ma Yu smiled bitterly: "If there are a few pure disciples missing, it may not matter to the Mongolians. But if we leave together, I'm afraid that none of us will be able to leave. Jing'er should not hesitate any longer, it is better to leave as soon as possible while the Mongolian army has not arrived. ”
Guo Jing's face was gloomy, looking at the fearless look of the Seventh Son of Quanzhen, his eyes flashing with crystal tears. He fell to his knees with a bang and kowtowed three times to the seven sons of Quanzhen.
That night, Guo Jing took Yin Zhiping, Zhao Zhijing and others, three generations of disciples of the Quanzhen Sect, carefully bypassed the Mongol reconnaissance and headed in the direction of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Ma Yu and the others stood outside the mountain gate, until the figures of everyone were no longer visible, and they still did not come back to their senses.
"Hey."
Several people looked at each other silently and let out an inexplicable sigh.
That sigh was full of mixed emotions, and I didn't know if I was worried about my future or the future of Yin Zhiping.
The next day, a blood-like sunset hung high in the west.
The red sunset like a big fireball reflects the world in a desolate light. Wisps of red sunlight fell from the sky, rendering a faint blood light for the undulating Zhongnan Mountain. The Quanzhen Taoist Temple, which towers halfway up the mountain, is like falling into a nightmare at this time.
The loud sound of thousands of horses galloping came from the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, echoing in the vast mountains and forests, startling countless birds and beasts.
Looking down from the sky, I saw tens of thousands of horses galloping over the mountain path like a dancing dragon. The march of the army brought up a cloud of smoke and dust, like a giant dragon rising into the sky.
In the middle of the army, a strong man who looked brave and extraordinary looked around, pointed to the looming mountains in front of the army, and said to the Mongolian general beside him with a gloomy face and eyes like goshawks: "General Tomu, ahead is where the Quanzhen Sect is located." ”
Tomu looked up and saw that the mountain road in front of him was narrow and steep.
He frowned slightly, his gloomy face was even more terrifying, and he said in a deep voice: "The mountain is high and dangerous, which is not conducive to the march of the army, but there are some minor troubles. ”
Most of the Quanzhen Sect are martial arts people, and if they defend according to danger, they will increase casualties.
Tomu's eyes flickered, like a goshawk hunting for food, revealing a terrifying cold glow, which made people dare not look directly at all. He was silent for two breaths, looked at the direction of the wind, showed a hideous smile on his face, and sneered: "Since this is the case, then burn down Nanshan." General Ben wants to know if the so-called immortals are afraid of fire! ”
"Your Excellency is wise." The mighty man bowed his hand and praised.
To burn the Quanzhen Sect's Zhongnan Mountain, you only need to send a small number of crossbowmen to guard under the mountain road, and you can easily deal with those martial arts masters of the Quanzhen Sect. This approach can minimize the sacrifice to the greatest extent.
Two quarters of an hour later, the 30,000-strong army stopped at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
On the mountain of Zhongnan, the whole truth is taught.
The Seven Sons of Quanzhen stood on a high platform halfway up the mountainside, looking at the Mongolian army cleaning the mountains and forests below, their faces as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Damn, the other party wants to burn the mountain!" Qiu's eyes flashed with coldness, his hands clenched into fists, and his face was full of anger.
Ma Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Where is Zhichen?" ”
Sun Buer's face showed embarrassment, and he said in a deep voice: "I went to the ancient tomb yesterday, and I haven't returned yet. ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.
Yesterday, didn't he return all night?
Ma Yu's face was ugly, he glanced at everyone quietly, and said in a deep voice: "Hey, this kid Zhichen is really getting more and more naughty." Now in such a dangerous time, how can you run around casually. ”
When everyone heard this, their faces twitched slightly. Are you clearly avoiding the point?
He didn't return all night to stay in the ancient tomb, except for the old woman, there was only the dragon girl in the ancient tomb, and what else could the two of them do alone.
Let's not say that Houshan is a forbidden place, but our real canons prohibit marriage. Now he has made such a heinous mistake that it will be naughty in your mouth!
No wonder that kid is so disobedient, it's not what you're used to!
Everyone looked at each other silently, but they didn't know what to say.
