Chapter 361: Wolf Rush Invasion
It was night, the clouds covered the moon, and the moonlight was dim.
Ichifeng stood on a ridge a few miles from the city walls, looking out over the battlefield.
The ridges here were dotted with monks who served as scouts, to monitor the enemy, and to prevent two large armies from bypassing these places and entering the city.
These monks may not be top-notch in cultivation, but they are good at running errands, and the speed of rushing is one of the best, and at the same time, they have also agreed on a communication code, so they can't rush back to the city, and they will also send a signal in time to let the monks in the city guard and organize resistance.
Such a careful arrangement is also the result of Juechen's brainstorming, although they used to just eat fasting and chant Buddha, but in this war they have learned too many tricks, but the price is the lives of the monks.
It's really not easy for them, this is the current situation of the war to destroy the Dharma of Buddhism, maybe other places are far less close and meticulous than the Yunzhou Sangha, maybe they are in a situation of being beaten and fleeing.
He needs to hurry up, unite his forces, and force Junzhou City together, and put pressure on Emperor Wu to abdicate and let the pro-Buddha prince ascend the throne.
Time waits for no one, a little later, maybe the Buddhist monks in any state have already been wiped out.
Yifeng looked at the team of monks and soldiers who were quietly sneaking behind him, Yan Yinshan said that he wanted Elder Juechen to provide five thousand monks with basic cultivation, in fact, how could there be so many people.
Of the 100,000 monks in Nanzong Temple, there are only 1,000 people who have cultivated and entered the hall, and there are only 5,000 people who have basic cultivation but only stay at the Buddha's power or below due to poor qualifications.
In such a war, the Buddhist Sangha group only had a total of 80,000 or 90,000 people, and this was still the last monk in Yunzhou who were chased and beaten by the two major armies.
Therefore, Juechen could only provide him with nearly five hundred basic cultivators, and Yifeng mixed these people into five thousand people, so as to exert the greatest value in the sneak attack and killing.
Yunzhou originally had more than 300,000 Buddhist monks, but now they have escaped and been killed, and I don't know how many people will become dead souls tonight.
Even if this war is won, it is far from victory for Buddhism, and the truly arduous war has just begun.
Yifeng motioned for the people behind him to stop, according to the detailed discussions with Elder Juechen and the others before, this is the extension of the dividing line of the battlefield, and there is also a high probability that there are scouts of the two major legions ambushed on the opposite side.
Once they are alarmed, tonight's sneak attack is likely to be in vain.
He habitually looked over his shoulder and found that it was empty, and then he remembered that he had left Xuanluan next to Yan Yinshan and asked her to protect Yan Yinshan and Senior Brother Yuan Yin and others.
It must be a bitter battle tonight on their side, and the combat regiments and even the staff regiments will be engaged in the battle one after another, and if the two major armies really go all out to attack the city, it will be several times more tragic than the siege battle this evening.
Yan Yinshan and Senior Brother are not very high, although Xuanluan is extremely naughty, but their cultivation is not weak.
With her protection, no matter how bad it is, she can fly them away, Xuanluan's flight speed, in the Flying Bird Beast Realm, only the Nine Heavens Phoenix is side by side with it.
It's just that the Nine Heavens Phoenix is already a god, and it can't go down to earth easily, and the original Nine Hells Xuanluan should also be the gods of the Nine Springs Hell, and he shouldn't have entered the world, but for some reason he was reborn in front of him, and he followed himself all the way.
He asked Xuanluan before, and she just smiled and said, "Brother Yifeng, you will know in the future!"
When she said this, her smart eyes turned quickly, and she diverted the topic, looking at him left and right, which really needed to be doubted.
A monk beside Yifeng also saw his hesitation, and said softly: "Buddha, I'll go to explore the way first, and if there is no problem, you can follow." ”
"Be careful. Ichikaze nodded.
The monk quietly stood out from the group, and alone explored the trees on the hill.
Ichifeng led people to keep a distance behind him, and after walking for nearly a moment, he never saw the other party's scout, and Ichifeng felt very strange.
The monk who was exploring the path returned and said to Yifeng: "Buddha, there seems to be no one in front, have they all withdrawn, after all, they are going to have a decisive battle tonight." ”
Yifeng pondered for a moment and said to the five thousand monks, "Perhaps, they also need to concentrate their forces. We continued walking, being careful and careful, and waited until the siege began, and quickly went around to their barracks to sabotage. ”
"The three of you, mainly lead people to destroy their baggage food and tents with fire, and when you encounter people to stop them, don't fall in love with war, and give priority to destroying supplies. ”
"You two, follow me to destroy their army from the rear, and remember, when disturbing them, make them think that there is a sneak attack from the army, and shake their morale. ”
Once the wind was arranged, they continued to advance, and soon they were in the flank and rear of the two major legions.
At this moment, Ichifeng suddenly saw a very strange row of trees in front of him, black in the dim moonlight, but not like the usual trees.
The two groups of monks and soldiers in front of them immediately stepped forward to check the situation, only to see that they had just approached the row of trees within three feet of the row, and the row of trees suddenly glowed red.
At this time, everyone saw the appearance of the row of trees, and it turned out to be a row of artillery facing the sky, and it looked like this was going to fire fireworks to inform the legion guards!
The people in front of them must have stepped on the magic circle, which triggered those cannons!
Seeing this, Yifeng didn't have time to arrange, so he waved his fists continuously, and one after another fists shot out like meteors, blasting towards those artillery.
Some people also reacted and hurriedly used weapons to destroy the artillery.
Yifeng's reaction was already very fast, and his fist exploded on some of the artillery, and the artillery exploded in response, and those monks and soldiers also destroyed several artillery pieces one after another.
But there were dozens of those guns in a row, and they were far apart, and in an instant, there were already artillery guns that had completed their charging, and several fiery light clusters shot out of the artillery's pitch-black mouths!
If the Legion finds out, their plan for a sneak attack will be in vain!
Just when Yifeng was in a hurry, there was an earth-shattering cry in the distance, the war drums shook the earth, the siege artillery roared in unison, the city walls were blown open everywhere, and the roar of killing was earth-shattering.
The siege battle officially began.
At this time, Shang Gu led a brigade of 5,000 pro-soldiers to supervise the battle behind the military formation, and anyone who had the intention of retreating and escaping would be killed.
The toothed general who led the pro-soldier brigade under his command seemed to hear several loud explosions in the distance from the side, and turned his head to see several fiery clusters of light in the distant sky, which were the vigilant artillery arrays they had arranged.
The tooth general hurriedly ran over and reported to Shang Gu: "Lord Shang, there seems to be a warning fireworks flying from the side, please arrange someone to guard against a sneak attack from the rear!"
When Shang Gu heard this, he looked at the mountain range on the side, only to see that the moon was dim, the sky was dark, and there seemed to be a black shadow of a bird that had been flying, and he didn't see any blazing light, so he immediately scolded: "Are you blind? Where are the fireworks?"
The tooth general looked up, only to see that the fireworks that were still shining just now had suddenly disappeared, and it stands to reason that this kind of fireworks will burn for a long time and will not be easy to extinguish.
Shang Gu looked at him, and had a little more contempt for these reckless men in his heart, and shouted: "Now that the battle ahead is tight, you have to shake the morale of the army again, be careful that this officer wants your life!"
Directly in front of them, hundreds of thousands of legionnaires surged forward like black ants, rushing forward wave after wave.
The artillery of the artillery battalion, the powerful and stout bed crossbows, the towering ladders to climb the clouds, etc., advanced forward in a staggered manner under the arrangement of Lu Tiesheng and Hu Ling.
War drums thundered, shouts shook the sky, crossbow arrows pierced through the air, and ignited rockets rained down on both sides, one rocket ignited a crowd, wails echoed across the battlefield, and then drowned out by even greater explosions.
At this time, dozens of monks with glowing bodies leaping down from the city tower, and the magical powers released by their gestures exploded in the black army wave.
On the battlefield, the blood of the crowd suddenly gushed out, and the stumps were shattered, like scarlet waves exploding in the black waves.
Lu Tiesheng and Hu Ling immediately shouted, pointed out the generals who had already been arranged, lifted their weapons and magic weapons, flew into the air, and rushed towards the monks opposite.
On the mountain in the distance, Yifeng panted, looking at the shattered artillery everywhere with palpitations, if he hadn't just flown into the sky and quickly smashed those few fiery light clusters, I'm afraid they would have been exposed at this time.
He also heard the huge roaring sound of battle coming from the battlefield in the distance, and knowing that the time had come, he turned his head to look at the five thousand Buddhist monks behind him, and only said two words: "Action!"
Five thousand Buddhist monks rushed down and rushed towards the thousands of barracks of the enemy legion.
