Chapter 91, pinching Tianyi
The time is about to pass, the autumn wind is rising, and the trees in the mountains and forests are rubbing, making a sound of squeezing.
At the end of the day, the Ding'an army went out in all directions, and marched towards the mountain under the cover of the wind and the sound in the mountains and forests.
Almost at the same time, the monks and guards in Xixia Temple also took action, and the soldiers were divided into four ways to echo the mountain.
At this moment, except for the members of the Tianyi Sect who were on guard, everyone else was in their dreams. And most of these vigilant congregants were drowsy.
Initially, Elder Wu also had spies at the bottom of the mountain, but later he withdrew all these people to the mountain. He just wants to give outsiders an illusion, Xixia Temple is still the same as usual, there is no abnormality.
Xixia Temple is located in the deep mountains, there are not many people who come and go on weekdays, and occasionally there are people who go to Xixia Temple and are all caught by the people of Tianyi Sect in the mountain road.
Although this could not completely cut off the connection between Xixia Temple and the outside world, these elders of the Tianyi Sect agreed that they would not be afraid even if Xixia Temple sent a message for help to the outside world, because when the other sects received the news and gathered people to rush over, their reinforcements also arrived.
After deliberation, the elders of the Tianyi Sect felt that this siege of Xixia Temple was an opportunity. Tianyi Sect wants to become a hegemon, many sects in the rivers and lakes will be their roadblocks, this time by the siege of Xixia Temple, you can screen the sects in the rivers and lakes, come to relieve the siege of Xixia Temple, is the enemy of Tianyi Sect, can be destroyed. And those sects that wait and see can be coerced and enticed in the future. Therefore, they want to use Xixia Temple as a bait to attract the Jianghu sect to come to relieve the siege of Xixia Temple, and they want to annihilate the sect that came to relieve the siege in one fell swoop.
After deciding on this strategy, Elder Wu asked Elder Mei to rush back to make it clear to the sect leader that if the sect leader agreed to this plan, then Elder Mei would rush back with reinforcements.
But they never expected that the reinforcements from Xixia Temple would arrive so soon.
Four roads on the mountain: Qingshan, Qingtian, Guard Officer Road, Master Withered Leaves, Xue Chen, Qingsong All the Way, Master Kuyue, Qinglin, Qingting Road, and the middle mountain road has Chen Qiding, Muxi Master Kurong, Ji Xuan and other masters of Xixia Temple. All four are equipped with archers.
Although there was a sound in the mountains and forests as a cover, when the four roads on the mountain arrived, several elders of the Tianyi Sect still heard the movement.
Just when the Tianyi Sect reacted, the Xixia Temple released a signal. After receiving the signal, the four roads under the mountain quickly marched upward.
There were three rugged paths, each with a Tianyi Sect elder with a hall master, two helmsmen and five hundred sect members lying in ambush on both sides, and the rest were hiding in the mountains and forests on both sides of the main road.
When the elders of the First Sect heard the movement and shouted to fight, the four roads that came down from Xixia Temple had already been killed.
Although the Tianyi Sect was a little careless, it was not a rabble, and after a little panic, it immediately stabilized its position.
After stabilizing the position, the strength of the Tianyi Sect was revealed, and it began to suppress Xixia Temple. But it didn't take long for this suppression to take shape, and the four roads under the mountain arrived.
Because the three trails are rugged, and the Ding'an army that attacked them did not have a master to suppress the formation, so the Tianyi Sect was easier to deal with.
But here the main road is different. Although the main road is not open, the mountains and forests on both sides of the place where the Tianyi Sect is stationed are relatively flat, and the main forces of both sides are also concentrated here. The Ding'an army that attacked was extremely fierce under the leadership of Gong Que and Guo Dongming, so when it was suddenly attacked from behind, Tianyi Sect was a little flustered.
"Don't panic, everyone, although they have reinforcements, they are all ordinary officers and soldiers, and they are not your opponents at all. Elder Wu, who was guarding the main road, immediately shouted loudly after seeing clearly the people attacking from the bottom of the mountain.
After Elder Wu shouted, the panicked Tianyi Sect members stabilized again and began to fight back under the leadership of their respective leaders.
Although it is not down, but due to the limitation of the terrain, the advantage of Tianyi Sect in numbers cannot be manifested at all.
At the same time, the Ding'an army, under the leadership of Gong Que and Guo Dongming, began to feign defeat, and fought and retreated.
Seeing the opponent retreating, the part of the Tianyi Sect that was fighting with the Ding'an Army was extremely excited and chased after him. At the same time, more than a dozen guards who had taken advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the Tianyi Sect and did not participate in the battle shouted loudly at this moment: "They have been defeated, and the credit can't be robbed by the brothers in front, we have to rush too......"
With the shouting, the dozen or so guards rushed out first. As they rushed out, some of them followed, and then many more followed, until in the end all those who did not participate in the battle rushed down the mountain.
The shouts of thousands of people on the main road resounded in the night sky, and the Ding'an army on the three paths also began to retreat down the mountain, and the Tianyi Sect people who were fighting with them were also chasing and killing behind.
Seeing such a situation, Elder Wu and several other elders immediately spoke up to stop it, but it was too late. In this way, there were less than a thousand Tianyi Sect members left to fight with Xixia Temple.
"Brother Wu, we may have fallen for their tricks, they just want to separate us and weaken our strength. Zuo Yufei, who was fighting Ding Muxi, shouted loudly to Elder Wu.
"You're just seeing it now! It's stupid. Ding Muxi sneered.
"Brother Zuo is right, it's better for us to retreat to the bottom of the mountain together, so that our strength can be fully revealed. Shen Jiayi also said to Elder Wu.
Elder Wu was also extremely worried about the situation in front of him, and now he heard Zuo Yufei and Shen Jiayi say this, and after thinking for a while, he shouted loudly: "Everyone should occupy and retreat, and go to the bottom of the mountain to fight them again." ”
Hearing Elder Wu's order, the Tianyi Sect began to carry out Elder Wu's order.
Although the members of the Tianyi Sect have also been trained, they are not a regular army after all, not to mention that they have been hiding in the mountains for too long, and they have suffered in this Cloud Piercing Mountain for nearly two days, so at this time, the pursuit and killing of the Ding'an army is like a loose horse, completely ignoring everything else.
After leading people to retreat to the mountain gate, Guo Dongming quickly dispersed to both sides. When Tang Bin saw them come out, he ordered all the archers outside the mountain gate to get ready
"Shoot the arrows!"
When hundreds of people from the Yiyi Sect rushed to the mountain gate that day, Tang Bin shouted.
With Tang Bin's order, thousands of arrows from the archers in front of the mountain gate and in ambush on both sides of the entrance of the mountain road were all shot towards the Tianyi Sect.
With the wailing sound that resounded in the night sky, the people of the more than 1,000 days who rushed in front fell to the ground one after another.
Those Tianyi Sect people who had not entered the ambush range immediately stopped one after another when they saw this tragic situation, and retreated in fright. Although these people joined the Tianyi Sect, they had never experienced such a scene, and they were at a loss for a while.
Elder Wu and the others, who had not yet caught up with the sect members in front, heard the screams of more than a thousand people and knew that something was wrong, so they immediately left Zuo Yufei, Shen Jia and several other elders to lead people to intercept them on the mountain road, and Elder Wu hurried forward.
When Elder Wu arrived, he saw the corpses of the Arrow Sect members in the mountain road, and he was also a little flustered for a while.
After calming down a little, Elder Wu stared at the corpses of the sect members on the mountain road, and said without looking back, "Elder Bai and Elder Qi, you each bring five hundred people to attack the ambush soldiers in the mountains and forests on both sides. ”
"Yes!"
Bai Qi and the others quickly led people into the mountains and forests.
"Hall Master Xie, wait for you and the old man to rush out quickly, remember, after you go out, be careful of the ambush outside. ”
"Yes!"
