545: Prepare for battle
After the January War Covenant was signed, the Zhang brothers turned their horses' heads, led the "Ten Dragons", and went back to join the 100,000 troops of the Great Zhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoXiao Sheng and Han Lin'er and others, standing on the city wall and looking out, saw a little firelight, which converged into a majestic torrent and quickly rushed into the distance. The sight is as spectacular as the ebb tide of the sea, and it is especially shocking to look at it in the dark.
After a long time, the army had retreated. Outside the city, it was dark again. Xiao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned to everyone, and said, "There's nothing to see, let's go." Let's go back and sit down and have a good discussion. β
Everyone nodded in agreement. At the moment, he followed Xiao Sheng and Han Lin'er, walked down the city wall, and returned to the Marshal's Mansion in the city.
This was originally Guo Zixing's base camp when he was stationed in Haozhou City, and it was built quite magnificently and covered a very wide area. Later, Guo Zixing died of illness, and his son Guo Tianxu died in battle, and the marshal's mansion was gradually abandoned. However, this time, Chang Yuchun led the soldiers and horses to Haozhou, and once assigned craftsmen to repair the marshal's mansion. So now, this Marshal's Mansion is used as the temporary helm of the White Lotus Sect, but it is barely used.
The crowd sat down in the hall of the Marshal's Palace. Xiao Sheng took the lead and said: "Zhang Shicheng, two brothers, although they made a war contract with us, they agreed to bet on the outcome of the battle after a month. But as the saying goes, soldiers are not tired of deceit, and it is better for us to be a little more vigilant against the Zhang brothers. Often meet spring, Mutel. β
Chang Yuchun and the Persian Ming Sect Leader stood up at the same time, clenched their fists and shouted, "The end will be." β
Xiao Sheng nodded and said in a condensed voice: "Send more soldiers to patrol, repair fortifications, and stabilize the city defense." Also, send out the sentry scouts to reconnoiter and keep an eye out for movements outside the city. We can't let the Zhang brothers trap us in the city and become deaf and blind. β
Mutel and Chang Yuchun both agreed loudly at the same time. Xiao Sheng commanded again: "Muter, those three thousand elites who have cultivated the 'Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon Secret Record', you have to take good care of them." At critical moments, they are all the way. Perhaps, the key to the victory or defeat of the whole war is on them. β
Mutel felt that he was deeply used, and his spirits were immediately lifted. Tearing open his throat and shouting, "Order." β
Xiao Sheng nodded, looked back at Zhang Cuishan, Yu Lianzhou, and the two senior brothers and sisters: "This time the sect suffered a great disaster, and the Wudang faction helped with all their might, and the whole sect felt the same great favor. Now that the religion has arrived in Haozhou, it finally has a place to live for the time being. Your sect can be regarded as having completed its merits. There is no retribution, barely some pills, but it can still be entered. Please ask the two of you to hand it over to Zhang Zhenren, the head of your faction, for me to express my gratitude. β
While speaking, Xiao Sheng reached into his arms, took advantage of this action to cover up, and took out a small medicine bottle from Jialuo's bracelet. This is what was obtained from the "Five Elements Heart Array" set up by Jiang Ziya at the foot of Mount Tai at the foot of Mount Tai in the battle of the Divine Soldier World and the Tiger Spirit.
Although the Five Elements Heart Evil Array kills people invisibly, it is the most powerful. But in order to lure the people who entered the formation to fall into the evil fan, Jiang Ziya also invested a lot of money. The items placed in the array, whether they are pills, weapons, exercises, gold or silver...... All of them are genuine, none of them are not of the highest quality, and it is difficult to buy them.
Now the bottle of pill that Xiao Sheng took out is called the Living Bone Yi Tendon Pill. It has a unique function for activating muscles and veins, strengthening bones and resisting qi. It can further cultivate internal strength and strengthen the cultivator's body. Although, for a half-step innate level master, this elixir is no longer useful. However, a master at the level of a great grandmaster can still benefit from the elixir.
Xiao Sheng believes that Zhang Sanfeng must be at least half-step innate. There is even a high possibility that he is a true martial arts innate master. However, Zhang Sanfeng's disciples, Wudang Seven Heroes, have uneven strength.
According to the situation described by Zhang Cuishan, even if Yu Daiyan, the third hero with the highest martial arts among the Seven Heroes, and Zhang Songxi, the fourth hero, should only be at the level of the Great Grandmaster. If you can take this Living Bone and Easy Tendon Pill, not to mention such an impractical thing as cultivating to a half-step innate, but if you want to cultivate to the peak of the Great Grandmaster level, there should be no problem.
This bottle of elixir was given to Zhang Sanfeng by Xiao Sheng. Zhang Cuishan and Yu Lianzhou naturally can't refuse instead of the master. At that moment, Yu Lianzhou took two steps forward, took the medicine bottle with both hands, and thanked him. Zhang Cuishan frowned and said, "Marshal Xiao, a month later, the battle you bet on Brother Cheng ...... battle."
"That's a matter between this sect and Zhang Shicheng, and this sect will handle it. There is no need for Zhang Wuxia to care more. β
Before Zhang Cuishan could finish speaking, Xiao Sheng had already interrupted her. After a pause, he said, "It's been a while since the two of you left Wudang Mountain. This religion does not dare to disturb your cultivation with worldly trivial things. Early tomorrow morning, I will send the two of them to leave Haozhou and go back to Wudang to report to Zhang Zhenren, the commander. β
In order to avoid Zhang Cuishan being caught between the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Shicheng, Xiao Sheng gave away medicine. Zhang Wuxia naturally understood this very well in his heart. Although she was unwilling, she wanted to try her best to persuade the two families to stop fighting and join forces against the Mongol Tatars. But Zhang Cuishan also knows that this is impossible.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Shicheng, both of whom are interested in competing for the world. The relationship between each other is life and death, and the two sides will never become close to each other because of the existence of Mongolian Tatars. What Han people don't fight Han people and other beautiful words, in the end, can only exist in dreams after all.
On the one hand, Zhang Cuishan always believed that the White Lotus Sect was an indispensable and important force for the Han people to overthrow the Mongol Tatars. On the other hand, Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Shicheng are brothers, and they have the love of brother and sister. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, which one fails, Zhang Wuxia doesn't want to see it. But she was also powerless to change the facts and let the two families not fight. In that case, it's better to leave early, out of sight and out of mind.
Thinking of this, Zhang Cuishan sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "Yes." In that case, let's not bother much. Sect Master Han, Marshal Xiao, go down and rest for the time being. Please. β
At that moment, the two heroes of Wudang and the five heroes put away the bottle of Living Bone Yijin Pill, and then went out to go back to the room to rest. Chang Yuchun and Mutel also confessed and left, and couldn't wait to rectify the city defense. In the hall, only Xiao Sheng and Han Lin'er were left.
Han Lin'er adjusted her posture slightly, turned sideways to face Xiao Sheng, and asked, "Brother Xiao, I'm a little confused." Since you agreed to win a competition with Zhang Shicheng, why did you let Chang Yuchun and them tighten their vigilance......? Will Zhang Shicheng not keep the agreement and take the opportunity to send troops to attack Haozhou when we are dueling?"
Xiao Sheng smiled: "I don't know." I'm not Zhang Shicheng, so how do I know what he's going to do? However, it's always right to be prepared for emergencies in everything. As long as nothing goes wrong on our side, then even if Zhang Shicheng wants to regret it, he can't find a chance. β
Han Lin'er nodded and said, "Brother Xiao, what you said is true." After a pause, he suddenly asked with great interest: "Brother Xiao, what kind of magic weapon is that thing you took out just now? β
Xiao Sheng waved his hand and said, "It's not a magic weapon, it's just a ...... Well...... Small cannon bar. At most, this thing can only be used against ordinary soldiers, and it will not work if it is used on masters. Plus, I only have one cannonball left, and after I use it, the cannon becomes waste. So just now, in fact, I was just scaring Zhang Shicheng. β
In the hunter world, Xiao Sheng ransacked the arsenal of the Dongguotuo Republic and removed a large amount of arms for himself. However, after returning to the Dahao world, he has already distributed all these arms to the Wuchuan New Army established by himself. Keep only a very small amount of arms with you for collection.
Although, it is also possible to purchase these arms directly through the Gara Temple. However, that would cost a lot of space-time energy points. And now, Xiao Sheng is short of energy points to repair the damaged Jialuo bracelet. It's too late to save money, where do you dare to spend it indiscriminately?
On the other hand, when Han Lin'er heard that this was a cannon and not a treasure, she immediately lost interest.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the most primitive bronze cannon had actually been invented. However, it is very bulky and inconvenient to move. Moreover, firing with a solid round shell is quite limited if it does not hit the target directly.
As the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Han Lin'er often led troops to fight and conquer cities. Naturally, there is no stranger to this primitive bronze cannon. She had experimented. More than a dozen of these bronze cannons were brought in and fired at themselves. and then carry out a great shift to confront. The test results showed that the shells fired by the cannon were completely unable to break through the defenses of the Great Shift.
Therefore, in Han Lin'er's mind, she looks down on cannons. Although the cloud burst bomb fired by Xiao Sheng just now was very powerful, it was not comparable to ordinary cannons. But Han Lin'er has a rough temperament, and she won't bother thinking about it, thinking carefully about the difference.
Han Lin'er exhaled softly and put the matter aside. He asked again, "Brother Xiao." You promised Zhang Shicheng to win a three-on-three contest with him. So, on our side, which three people will make a move? Except for you and me, huh...... Do you want to let Chang Yuchun join the war?"
Xiao Sheng smiled: "The third person, just find someone to make up the number." Well, I think Fang Fang is good. In fact, since it is a three-on-three knockout match, theoretically speaking, as long as one person in the team is strong enough, he can defeat the three opponents alone and win. Then the other two team members, even if they watch the whole process, it doesn't matter. β
Han Lin'er's eyes lit up, and she said adoringly: "Indeed." With Brother Xiao's ability, the two brothers, Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shide, are definitely not opponents. β
Xiao Sheng nodded, and said as a matter of course: "This is needless to say." But Lin'er, in this competition, I plan to let you take the lead. If you can, you'll play the full three. β
Han Lin'er was stunned for a moment, and said, "Do you want me to play three games by myself?"
Xiao Sheng nodded and said in a condensed voice: "Not bad." Because this competition is actually not on my heart. What I'm really worried about is the movement on the Mongolian Tartar side.
Heavenly Demon Gong, Heavenly Demon Slaughtering Method, Heavenly Treasure Jian, Rulai Divine Palm...... Hey, if we are fighting with Zhang Shicheng, can the Mongolian Tartars just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and do not interfere at all? If anyone dares to think so naΓ―vely, then I guarantee that he will definitely regret it. β
