Chapter 410: Thousands of Miles to Hexi
After all the Bai Yinyi soldiers boarded the ship, Shang Xiang and Zi Xin helped Master Wuzhen, who had just woken up from the bed in the duty room of the Protector's Mansion, to the front of the airport. Lei Changye saw this scene through the feedback of the Yin general, and hurriedly ran out of the wheelhouse in person to personally welcome him on board.
Master Wuzhen walked down the long staircase and finally boarded the middle cabin, and when he saw the internal structure of the Flying Fish Ladyship, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"The Shushan Taoism is so magical that it is really breathtaking. Master Wuzhen said with emotion.
"The master has won the prize. It's not that the Shushan Dao is wonderful, but the avenue of this world, since the machine, I just used it skillfully. Lei Changye held his arm and said with a smile.
"According to the benefactor, Zen is profound, and the poor monk has been taught. Wuzhen pondered for a moment, and sincerely joined the ten ways.
"Don't dare, don't dare, the master is not in good health, why don't you take a break in the Protector's Mansion. I will transport my troops to Shazhou, and we will return in a few days. Lei Changye asked with concern.
"How many days?" Gojin was stunned again. This time it was really like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. You must know that it took him two years to run back to Chang'an from Shazhou, walked 5,000 miles, and Lei Chang drove a boat to Shazhou at night, and it only took a few days?
"Master, this ship can travel by the wind, without being hindered by the Guanshan Mountains, and can travel 800 miles in one day. The straight-line distance to Shazhou is about 2,800 miles, and it can be reached in three or four days, and it can be returned in six or seven days. Lei Changye said.
"Huh......" Wuzhen's whole person suddenly collapsed because he was too excited, and if Lei Changye didn't hold him, he would have collapsed on the ground.
"Take care, master!" said Lei Changye.
"God bless the Tang Dynasty, God bless Shazhou! General Zhang, Master Hong Bian, we are saved!" Wu Zhen fell to his knees, facing the west, and wept bitterly.
"Master, don't be too excited, don't hurt your body, why don't I find you a VIP room on the ship to rest for a while and regain your vitality." Lei Changye said hurriedly.
"Nope. Lord Lei Shi should be going to Shazhou for the first time, and the poor monk should be a guide to guide the army. Master Wuzhen got up from the ground and said eagerly.
"I don't dare to ask for it. Lei Changye smiled slightly. He drove his own boat to Shazhou, which was actually a bit empty. When that place was in the Blue Starfish plane, I only traveled there once by car, and I got lost, and there was a psychological shadow.
Lei Changye helped Wuzhen sit on the guest floor in the wheelhouse, and once again checked the placement of soldiers and grain and grass on and off the Flying Fish Lady's ship through the Yin General. When everything was in order, he took a deep breath and informed all Bai Yinyi to assemble in the plaza on the upper deck in the method of teleportation for a thousand miles.
Under the guidance of the veterans of the various capital teams, the five thousand silver Yicong quickly gathered in the wide square on the upper deck.
Lei Changye took Wuzhen, Kuang Zhang, Jia Xu and Pang Hengyi to the forefront of the army, inspected the military column with satisfaction, and then raised his voice and said: "Today, all the monarchs gathered, not to requisition land for the marshal, not to grab grain for the strong, not to oppress the good, but to restore the land for our dynasty, to save the loyal soul of the Western Regions, and to raise the prestige of our Tang Army." Even if you die on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud, it is better than doing nothing, dying of old age!"
"Die on the battlefield, horse leather shroud!"
Hearing Lei Changye's impassioned words, Bai Yinyi raised his fists one after another, turning into a rotten silver armor jungle, and roared in unison.
"Okay! What a strong military might!" Wu Zhen couldn't help but feel hot in his heart when he saw this shocking scene, and his palms were sweating.
"Have you all brought it into the picture box?" Lei Changye's voice changed.
Bai Yinyi glanced at each other, subconsciously took out the painting box from his arms, and held it up neatly again.
Kuang Zhang, Jia Xu, and Pang Hengyi looked at each other, not knowing what kind of snathing this treasure alliance leader was doing. Now is a great time for morale to be high, but don't make any mistakes.
"In the first battle of Shazhou, the brave and straight former, reward one into the painting chip, kill the enemy first, reward ten into the painting chip, kill the general and capture the flag, reward 100 into the painting chip. After this battle, if someone unfortunately dies in battle, the divine consciousness can be incorporated into the painting to survive for the next day. Lei Changye said loudly.
"Huh?!" heard his words. All the silver righteous servants exclaimed.
Every Silver Servant is a player who has played the Picture Crate. Of course, they know the benefits of being in the painting. The implication of Lei Changye's words is that all the silver righteous servants who go to war are equivalent to immortal bodies, as long as they enter the painting with their divine consciousness before they die, they can live in the spirit in the painting box for the next day.
What else do you have to worry about, just kill and it's over! The benefits of this battle are far greater than any battle they have ever participated in.
"I am willing to die for the lieutenant!" all the silver on board roared.
"But!" Lei Changye shouted, "If there is a war, someone is greedy for merit and drags down his comrades, someone is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he cowers, and someone kills brutally and indiscriminately, slaughtering innocents, if these bad deeds are found, your divine consciousness will be directly popped out of the painting by me and turned into a lonely ghost." What is the use of keeping such an unfaithful and unrighteous person! Gentlemen should remember to obey orders and orders, so as not to make mistakes!"
"We'll keep it in mind!" Bai Yinyi's hearts were awe-inspiring, and they hurriedly shouted in unison.
"Hmm. Lei Changye smiled and glanced at Kuang Zhang, Jia Xu and Pang Hengyi. The faces of the three of them could no longer hide their hearts and minds. Naturally, they are not afraid of death. But how comfortable it is to think that these silver righteous servants can also be immortal and immortal like big players like them, so it is so comfortable to bring up such a team. That's really how to fight, how to have.
A method of governing the army like Lei Changye is afraid that there is no one before and no one will come after.
After Lei Changye disbanded the army, he returned to the wheelhouse with the confused Master Wuzhen, held the rudder, and instilled the electric true qi on his body to the Flying Fish Lady's ship.
Colorful auspicious clouds emerge from the keel of the entire ship, like colorful bubbles wrapping around the hull.
The platform on the upper deck was slowly lifted and the sails on the mast were unfurled. Lei Changye pulled the rudder at an extremely slow speed, allowing the Flying Fish Lady to slowly rise in the air harbor, high above the height of the Chang'an city wall.
It wasn't until the bottom of the big ship exceeded the height of the city wall by more than a zhang that Lei Changye began to push the rudder. The long winds blow from the platform on the upper deck, blowing the sails so that every sail is full of the wind.
Driven by the long wind, the Flying Fish Lady ship flew away lightly in the direction of Shazhou in the northwest.
The city of Shazhou, thousands of miles away, has been dyed blood-colored at this moment. Zhang Yichao wore a whole suit of bright armor, standing on the top of the city and looking at the endless Xihu company camp under the city, there was no fear on his face, but the light in his eyes also disappeared completely, leaving only the color of the deep quiet lake.
The timing of his uprising can be said to be just right. Xihu famine for many years, because of the contradictions between politics and religion within the dynasty, the nobles competed for power, attacked each other, and fought inextricably. He fought hard and waited for this precious opportunity to make a move.
At the beginning, he put on armor and led the troops, and fought Tang Jing, Shazhou Hanmin looked at the scenery, thousands of people rushed to the city wall, and Shazhou City went down with a drum. After the recovery of Shazhou, he joined up with the monks and soldiers of Master Hong Bian, and established a multi-ethnic mixed army with great righteousness to the seven-bearded disciples in the territory, and successively defeated Sun Boru Gui Dongdai's elite soldiers who came to suppress the rebellion in Shazhou, and also captured a large number of Xihu Yong Dongdai supporters.
After some rectification, the elder brother Zhang Yitan led 6,000 surrendered Xihu soldiers and 1,000 Guiyi Han troops to attack Guazhou, and after a fierce battle under the city, Guazhou was recovered. However, after the recovery of Guazhou, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
Under the mediation of Master Wanzang, the fierce power struggle within Xihu caused by the conflict between church and state came to an abrupt end. King Zampu agreed to cede power to the Shaozhuang faction. On the basis of the original right wing and branch wing, the royal family of Xihu Shaozhuang faction also owned ten Gui Dongdai in the same area of Sun Boyi and Yangtong, and their power rose sharply, and they were on a par with Lao Wang's family, and there was no motivation to continue to fight for the time being.
The uprising in Shazhou provided an excellent opportunity for the internal struggle of the Xihu royal family, which had successfully died down. And the old king of Zampu set an example and sent the four guards of Zampu to the plateau and conquer Shazhou for thousands of miles.
In order to show their courage in front of the old king and the Xihu nobles, the children of the royal family vying for the throne mobilized the elite in the military region and formed an army of 200,000 Xihu. Surrounded by Shazhou and Guazhou in all directions.
Zhang Yichao's original plan was to take advantage of the contradictions in Xihu to seize Guazhou, Yizhou, Xizhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Lanzhou, Shanzhou, Hezhou, Minzhou, and Kuozhou in one fell swoop, connect Hexi into one, form a strategic depth, and use the grain and grass of the eleven prefectures as the army to accumulate the capital to resist Xihu.
Unexpectedly, after Xihu Toutuo's operation, his uprising became an opportunity for Xihu to eliminate internal contradictions, attracting the siege of 200,000 troops.
After some temptation, he felt the resoluteness of the Xihu army's fighting spirit, and had to let his brother lead the army to loot the grain and grass in Guazhou, escort the people who were willing to join the army in Guazhou to return to Shazhou, and then set fire to Guazhou, clear the wilderness, and defend Shazhou.
There were 100,000 Han people gathered in the city of Shazhou, and 20,000 returned to the righteous army, including 12,000 soldiers of Shazhou Qihu. Zhang Yichao deliberately killed the Xihu nobles trapped in the city at the head of the city, hung his head in public, and ordered the Xihu nobles who led the troops to attack the city to give a death order to exterminate the city. This also cut off the way for everyone to surrender.
At the time of the siege of Xihu, the whole city was fought to the death by the army and the people, and no one, whether it was the Han or the Hu, thought of surrendering anymore.
This tragic siege has been going on for almost a year now. The grain and grass in the city of Shazhou were cut off, and the soldiers and civilians in the city nibbled on the bark and grass roots for a living. Zhang Yichao knew that after a while, when even the bark and grass roots were extinct, it would be a tragic scene of people eating people.
He decided that when that time came, the whole army would go to war, and the Xihu army would fight to the death, even if he died in battle, he would not be a cannibal, and he fell into the majesty of his homeland that he longed for day and night.
This was the day he decided to attack with his whole army. All the members of the Guiyi Army wore helmets and armor, and stood behind him with firm eyes. In a year of war, 20,000 returned to the rebel army, and only 10,000 remained, and many were twelve or thirteen-year-old children.
He glanced back at the weak but already vicissitudes of life in the team, his eyes were hot, and for the first time in his life, he began to wonder if his determination to revolt and return to Tang was too reckless.
And at this moment, a large flying ship suddenly appeared in the sky!
