Chapter 393: The Battle Ahead

When Yifeng heard Zhenglin's words, he turned his head, looked at the hundred guards and monks behind him, and said to them, "Are you the same? ”

The hundred guards looked at each other left and right, looked at each other, then hesitated and nodded.

Zhenglin cautiously asked, "General Feng, are you also afraid?" ”

Yifeng looked at them, lowered his head slightly, and said, "I'm scared too." ”

Zheng Lin and those guards and monks were in an uproar, and they exchanged their heads and ears in a soft and fast voice, exchanging their thoughts.

They didn't expect that the Buddha who behaved as brutally slaughtered as Shura in the battle of Qingping Town, such a fierce and brave person, and even the leader of them and the Buddha's path, would actually feel afraid.

Although he is so young, he is a Buddha after all, and he once inspired them on the city wall to move forward bravely and defend the Buddha's path, he should not have been afraid!

Yifeng looked at them whose faces and eyes were changing, knowing what they were talking about, he shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"I'm afraid, not because of the shocking murder, nor because I'm afraid of being haunted by unjust spirits, and I'm not afraid of being punished by the gods of hell after death, but because I'm afraid that everything I've paid will be like a bamboo basket and become a void."

"I am afraid that the dead fellow Buddhists will die in vain, and I can't bear to die in my own hands that the souls of the dead have no value, and I am afraid that after experiencing one war after another, the Buddha will finally be annihilated in the dust of history. I'm afraid of your fears, and I'm even more afraid of the unknown outcome. ”

Zhenglin and those guards stopped whispering, their eyes stared at Yifeng, Yifeng's gaze met them, and his tone became strong and powerful:

"But I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid, it's because you walked out of the sea of corpses and blood in the battle of Qingping Town, because you are still persevering, because you are willing to follow me, come here, and go far away, there must be our end in the distance, although it is unknown, but there must be! ”

"I am not afraid, because you stand behind me, no matter how much strength I show, but far less than the strength of your persistence and unity!"

On the peak of the younger sister, a gust of cold wind blew, pouring all the words of Yifeng into the minds of these monks and soldiers, and Zhenglin and their eyes also became clearer and more resolute from the confusion just now.

They now understand that even if they all die in battle, there is one person who will never retreat and always insist, even if the entire Buddha path in the world is annihilated, there is still one person who is defending the Buddha path in his heart, and this person is the Buddha and Tao giant in front of him, Yifeng!

At this time, someone among the guards sang a song in a deep voice, which was the tune composed by the talented Buddhist monks in the Wind Roar Army, which was somber and powerful, sonorous and passionate, and the lyrics were so familiar:

"Heaven and earth are not in a bad condition, but there is Mu... The universe is subverted, and the Buddha is guilty... Trace the source of the reverse road and give him a war revolution. The grand light is shining, and the sea of blood is churning... The six realms are all dark, and the sound of the snail is dementoring and destroying the obstacles... Miao Lian wilts, Bodhi Moai, Zhao Fa Rui, what is refuge! ”

The sound was transmitted from one person to ten people, and then to a hundred, and the voice was grand and majestic, reverberating through the four fields, fluttering in the wind in the fierce cold wind, and shaking in the valley below the mountainside.

All the monks who were resting came out of their tents and looked up at the snow-capped peaks in the distance, where they heard what they privately called the "Wind Roaring Battle Song".

Although they didn't know why, they listened to the familiar lyrics in this treacherous environment, reminiscent of the scenes on the battlefield before, which further aroused their indignation to join the war.

Their voices are hoarse, their muscles are uplifted, and they sing the most magnificent songs with the broadest chests!

Suddenly, the mountains and fields moved, and thousands of birds flew in shock!

I don't know how long it took, the roar of the ten thousand monks on the mountain gradually subsided, a wind looked at them, listened to the stirring war song from the mountain, and then overlooked the mountain-shaped terrain here, the heart is also full of pride, Buddhism, it should be so majestic and vigorous!

At this moment, a war horse galloped from the dirt path of the distant forest, quickly dismounted in the valley, asked about the movement of the wind, and then ran as fast as possible towards the wind on the mountainside.

Everyone looked at the scout running on the mountainside, not knowing what news he was going to bring, but after the excitement just now, of course, they thought it was good news from the Buddhist monks in front of them!

However, the running scout ignored his breathlessness and came to Yifeng, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly: "General Baofeng, the joint Buddhist monks of Southwest Prefecture and Mizhou have been defeated and are fleeing towards our army!" ”

The sound spread out, echoing through the valley below, like a basin of icy water poured over everyone's heads, extinguishing the flame of fighting spirit and hope that had just burned in their breasts.

But Yifeng knew that now was far from the time to be disappointed, his eyes froze, he looked at the scout monk and asked, "According to the previous information, the United Legion of the Two States and the Longwu Legion were defeated and fled, why can they still defeat the Buddhist Monk Regiments of the Two States?" ”

The scout monk was sweating profusely at the moment, and replied with his fists clenched: "General Huifeng, my subordinates really don't know. However, the news was sent back by a junior brother sent by General Liu, who led the reconnaissance at the forefront, so it must not be wrong. ”

Yifeng nodded and hurriedly asked, "Where is General Liu at this time, and how far is the defeated Buddhist Sangha from us?" ”

The scout replied: "General Liu is thirty miles away from the southwest of our army, and the farthest distance of the scouts is seventy miles away. ”

When Yifeng heard this, he hurriedly took out the map and unfolded it, and Zhenglin and Xiaofudie hurriedly approached. Yifeng saw that there was a trumpet-shaped canyon a hundred miles southwest of the map, wide in the southwest and narrow in the northeast, according to the scout's intelligence, if it was true, then the Buddhist Sangha in the southwest Mizhou was probably ambushed by the three major legions here!

If we go further, then it is very likely that the news of the defeat of the three major legions collected before is also fake, just to lure the Buddhist monks into this canyon, and then concentrate on annihilation!

Yifeng thought of this, and looked southwest from here, because it was too far away, and the southwest was only a vague green mountain, and he couldn't see the specific situation clearly, so he turned his head and hurriedly said to Little Fluttershy: "Sister Little Fluttershy, please go to the rear as soon as possible, inform the second senior brother to return to the army to discuss matters, and at the same time inform the little senior sister of this matter, so that she can be prepared to protect the baggage." ”

Little Butterfly agreed, transformed into her body, and flew to the east.

Not long after, both the fire monkey and Liu Yi rushed back to the army, and Liu Yi even forcibly flew through the dense jungle and rushed back faster than the fire monkey.

In Yifeng's tent, they exchanged news with each other, on the fire monkey side, Xiugu's task is the best to complete, because of the customs here, many people are devout Buddhists, and they are full of respect for this monk army, and the villagers of the villages they pass along the way are able to provide them with a lot of food, not to mention that there is no need to worry about someone being unfavorable to the rear.

The news on Liu Yi's side was much heavier, after the scout rushed back, he received more information from the scout in front of him one after another, but the information was incomplete.

This shows that the battle at the front is very fierce, and the Buddhist monks in the West and Mi Prefectures have been pursued and killed by the three major legions, and even affected the scouts in front.

Among these incomplete information, there are also two most important news, first, Yifeng's guess is correct, they were indeed ambushed by the three major legions in the trumpet-shaped canyon called "Shanlongkou", and the military strength of the three major legions at that time was at least 150,000.

Second, the Buddhist Sangha originally had at least 200,000 people, but after this battle, most of them had been killed and wounded, and many of them fled in the pursuit, and the remaining combat strength is unknown.

After the guidance of the scouts in front, they already knew that Ichikaze and the others had led troops to support and were rushing in their direction, but the three major legions were in hot pursuit, and they didn't know how long it would take to join up with Ichikaze and the others.

Yifeng looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The time to test us has come, how should we deal with it now, should we go to support the battle, or avoid its edge and retreat first?" ”
