Chapter 60: The White Samurai
In this battle, although Wudetang's troops took the lead and caught them off guard, it was enough to see that Zhenxingtang had confused a lot of believers in the short reconstruction time, and the number and speed were staggering.
When storming the stronghold, all the units met with stubborn resistance from the cultists, and the battle entered a stalemate for a while, but it was only temporary. When I led a mobile support force to storm the abandoned lookout to the east, I was also met with resistance from a small group of cultists. Fortunately, the number of cultists in this group is not large, only a dozen or so. Although we don't have many people, for the enemy, it is like Mount Tai pressing the top. More than 150 people beat more than a dozen people, and if there were casualties on our side, it would be a bit too unreasonable, and there would be nothing to do except go home to nurse the children for the daughter-in-law.
As the soldier said just now, it took almost no effort for the troops to rush to the lookout. After letting the soldiers get around the lookout, the three of us climbed to the top. The view here is indeed better than the hillside just now, and a total of six battlefields can be said to be unobstructed and in full view.
Such a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation was huge, and the entire battlefield was filled with shouts, which could be heard on all the outlying islands. Many people stood in the doorway, on the windowsill or climbed on the rooftops, watching such a shocking scene.
Soon after the battle began, our troops achieved relatively good results, and the Song and Qing troops completely destroyed the first stronghold shortly after the army rushed over. Song Qing immediately led his headquarters and rushed towards Uncle Da's main attack site. But after passing the stronghold that Hua Chenfeng was in charge of, he stopped, and the team quickly contracted and rushed in.
Wang Zhaozhao's eyes widened and he stretched his neck to look there, and he couldn't stop asking me: "Brother Chuan, look at that place." He was afraid that I wouldn't know, so he deliberately pointed his finger: "After Master Song's team completed the task, they didn't go to meet Uncle Da, but helped Hua Chenfeng go, it seems that there is trouble there, should we go over to support?"
I've seen what he said a long time ago, but I just haven't figured it out yet, whether such a situation is critical or not, and if this matter is misjudged, it is very likely that the real danger will be missed. To be on the safe side, I said to him, "Don't worry, let's see, it's not yet to the point where I have to go." ”
Although I didn't look at his face, I could still feel his loss and anxiety. He wasn't really worried that there would be any problems there, he was just worried that this credit would be taken away by Master Song.
Originally, Hua Chenfeng's troops had already taken advantage of the terrain and the ever-changing True Sword Formation to control the cultists in the stronghold. But out of nowhere, a large group of people came out of nowhere, and surrounded Hua Chenfeng from behind. The encirclement turned into a state of anti-encirclement, which made Hua Chenfeng a little panicked, and for this sudden change, he could only lead his troops to resist. The original advantages are also declining little by little.
It happened that Song Qing arrived and once again aroused their emotions. With the external attack of the Song and Qing troops, Hua Chenfeng reversed the situation on the battlefield.
Chen Dake lay on the guardrail, looked in the other direction, turned his back to us and said, "If you have to talk about the most critical place, it is probably Uncle Da's side, you come and have a look." ”
If you look at it from an outsider's point of view, the state of the three of us is particularly like the commander-in-chief of this war, pointing there for a while, and talking about other places for a while, with a state of pampering.
After Chen Dake called us over, he also pointed to the headquarters of Zhenxingtang and said, "I didn't expect it, the headquarters of Zhenxingtang is actually built like a cottage in ancient times." Look at Uncle Da's current situation. The Sikong was on top of the city tower and ordered people to shoot crossbow arrows at the troops outside the wall. Uncle Da's troops were hit hard, and from the time we climbed the building, Uncle Da and they were trapped behind those strange rocks, and there were many casualties. There is an enemy in front of him, but it is difficult to move an inch, I think Uncle Da should be in a very irritable mood now. Even if it is to help, judging from the current situation, the only place to go is here, and there are no special circumstances in other places, but the speed of progress is a little slower. ”
"But our mission is to rush to the aid of the strongholds, and only after all the strongholds have been annihilated can we attack the headquarters of Zhenxingtang. If we go boldly, we will definitely be scolded by Uncle Da. If you don't know it, you will be charged with disobedience. "Seeing Uncle Da trapped there and unable to move an inch, I am also very anxious, but at this time, I must stay awake, I must not listen to the words of the two of them, not that my brain is much better than theirs, but I am calmer than them.
Because of the above points, the two of them had to follow my arrangement and obediently stay above and continue to observe. We silently observed for nearly half an hour, during which we witnessed together, Tiger Roaring Heights successfully cleared the responsible stronghold, Song Qing and Hua Chenfeng's troops stumbled and completed the task when the casualties were not serious, and the three troops were advancing towards the place where Uncle Da was surrounded. The Ma Pavilion Master's side was not smooth, but there were no big obstacles, but the stronghold he was in charge of was more than twice as many garrisons as we had expected before, so it was difficult to clear them. But overall, the situation on the entire battlefield is still firmly under our control, and Zhenxingtang is still looking for a breakthrough.
Just when I thought that the victory of this battle would eventually belong to us, I suddenly found that the stronghold of the South Road in charge of the great monk Dao Chun of the Forgotten Dust Temple had undergone a huge change. I saw that there were fewer and fewer of our fighters in the stronghold on the south road, and at the beginning I thought that after they completed their mission, some of them began to withdraw from the battle, and the other part was sweeping away the remnants. But upon closer inspection, it turned out to be nothing like that. Not only are our personnel getting smaller and smaller, but even the warrior monks of the Forgotten Dust Temple are decreasing at a speed that is already visible to the naked eye. And, most surprisingly, from the sea behind the stronghold, dozens of warships suddenly appeared, loaded with heavily armed men. Everyone was dressed in the same way, all wearing white suits and trousers, and white leather shoes sparkling in the moonlight. Due to the distance, it is impossible to distinguish the weapons they use, nor can they see their appearance or physical features.
When the warship docked, hundreds of samurai rushed out and attacked Daochun's warrior monk troops.
I greeted the two of them excitedly: "Brothers, our opportunity has arrived, the South Road stronghold is tight, and now is the time for our brothers to show their might." ”
"It's finally here, I finally don't have to nest here to make a useless decoration, and if I don't make a name for myself today, I'm sorry for the long waiting time. Wang Zhaozhao looked at the South Road stronghold with bright eyes, and said to me drooling.
Without further ado, since we have decided to attack, there is nothing to hesitate about, our job is to help them. Coming down from the lookout, he said to more than 100 people in the headquarters: "Brothers, the stronghold on the south road is surrounded by cult reinforcements, and if we don't attack at this time, we will be sinners through the ages." In addition to fighting bravely to kill the enemy, you must also take care of your own safety, and do not underestimate the enemy. ”
After hearing that they could finally participate in the war, these soldiers were full of emotion, and the emotions that had been suppressed in their hearts were released at once, and they replied with a roar: "Please rest assured, my lordship, I will not fail in our mission." ”
Not much to say, if you talk more nonsense in such a high mood, it is very easy to weaken the combat effectiveness. Therefore, after receiving the answer, Wang Luzhao and Chen Dake and I ran to the front, followed by one hundred and fifty soldiers, and rushed to the stronghold on the south road in one go.
Because several strongholds have been successfully wiped out, there are basically no obstacles along the way. After arriving at the destination, I saw the changes here, it turned out that when we were rushing here, the sudden reinforcements that pressed Daochun's troops into the stronghold little by little. Now that the offense and defense have completely changed, the defensive state of Do-chun is a little exhausted.
At this time, in addition to the white-clothed samurai, there were only warrior monks from the Forgotten Dust Temple, and there was not a single soldier of the Wude Hall and a cultist who could still act. The two hundred warrior monks originally brought by the great monk Daochun are now less than one hundred and fifty people left.
There is only one entrance to this stronghold, which has already blocked the white samurai. If you want to rescue them, there is only one way at the moment, and that is to force a surprise attack and tear the encirclement apart. Just as I was about to give the order for an assault, Wang Kuozhao unexpectedly stopped me, smiled maliciously, reached out and took out a thunderbolt from his waist and said to me: "Brother Chuan, if we just break into it like this, the casualties will definitely be not small." To put it mildly, it's a question of whether we can rush in, and don't forget that we have such a secret weapon. I've only heard of the power of this thing before, but no one has ever seen it with their own eyes, so it's better to test these people now. ”
Hearing the suggestion of the summons, the mouth suddenly opened, and the white-clothed samurai at this time had not yet noticed our existence, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. smiled heartily with the two of them: "Okay, why did I forget about this, then let's try?"
"So what are you waiting for, let's get started. Wang Zhao summoned the mechanism of the thunderbolt to turn it, aimed it at the crowd and threw it directly. After a roar, many people fell down with incredible expressions. Seeing that he succeeded, Chen Dake and I both shot thunderbolts, and the effect we got was comparable to the first one.
By the time they found out, our troops were already in the air. At this time, the power released by us is not to be underestimated, and our sudden appearance hit them at a loss of ignorance, and soon tore the encirclement apart.
Just after we broke into the stronghold and rounded up with the great monk Daochun, Chen Dake looked around and exclaimed, "Where is the king?"
