Chapter 227: Loss
Let's say that the Tang Dynasty **** fought for ten years, attacked the city of Ziluo in the Western Regions, killed the king of the city, and captured the city.
After reorganizing the remaining army and collecting his subjects, Tang Yuan sent out a good news and went straight to the imperial court.
After Li Zhi heard the report, Long Yan was happy and rewarded the three armies.
The army was stationed in the city of Ziluo for several months, repairing the soldiers and horses, bringing in grain, grass and weapons, and then pulling out the army and opening it, all the way to the west, unstoppable, towards the city of Mandala.
"The generals of each battalion lead the troops to take it in, you don't have to be busy first, you can camp and rest on the spot to prepare for battle!"
After sounding the golden bell and iron drum, General Zhengxi went out of the camp tent, and saw that the army was strong and strong, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and he was overjoyed in his heart and gave an order. Then he ordered the spies accompanying the army to spy on the military situation.
Immediately sent a document, in the city of Mandala, the Buddhist soldiers are stationed, although now the two armies are thousands of miles apart, there is no obvious action, but the soldiers and horses of Mandala are already ready to move.
Arrange troops and wait for them, but they don't issue documents, but they don't move.
Now I have received the documents of the Tang Dynasty, although the Buddha Emperor in the city is angry, but he still holds on, this mandala, it is originally the prosperity of Buddhism to the extreme, although it is only called the city, but it is also a vast area, and the soldiers are mostly elite, and the cultivation is all Buddhism, and the mind is very strong.
The Buddha Emperor also knew that the time had not yet come, and he had to wait.
Seeing that the other party did not move, Tang Yuan thought that he was afraid and wanted to be a turtle with a shrunken head, so he drove the army into hundreds of miles at the moment, and hurriedly sent people to call a formation to attack, but the other party only paid attention to it slightly, and did not go out of the city.
The city wall is solid, and there are people who know the spell to strengthen the forbidden law, and there are soldiers on the city wall with bows and arrows to guard it from time to time, which is very stable, and the Tang army is brave at this time, but it can't attack head-on.
"The two armies are fighting against each other, but now, the other side is closed to the city gates, the troops are not weak, and it is not easy to attack, if one is not good, it will suffer a great loss. ”
That Tang Yuan, Tang Zhao and several generals discussed in the camp tent, but Tang Yuan was thoughtful.
"Although it is a delaying tactic, such as a war-free card, but it is not of much use, I would rather endure for a while, stay for a few days, or recuperate, and then the swords and soldiers will be connected, take this city in one fell swoop, and kill those foreign Hu people, it will be a great achievement!"
He has been fighting for many years, and he already knows in his heart that the other party is delaying time and waiting for some help, but he himself is also a general and marshal who has achieved great achievements in cultivation, how can he take these things to heart?
As long as a day or two passes, and the other party still doesn't move, it means that the soldiers are coming to the city, so they naturally don't care.
At that moment, the next day, Tang recruited the generals, made deployments, and was closing his eyes in the camp to recuperate.
Suddenly, my heart moved, I looked at the top, and then I counted a hexagram, and when I looked at the hexagram, it was the upper hexagram, the image of good luck, and I was immediately happy.
Tang Yuan also knew, took the token and the military flag, and ordered the army to drive to fifty miles, and at noon, the army was going to press the border, and the soldiers came to the city.
At this time, in Mandala City, there was a little monk in gray monk's robes, doing namaste, going up to the city tower, placing a stick of incense, and then going to the Jinluan Palace.
The Buddha Emperor sat upright and asked, "How is the matter?" Are you very sure that you will take the lives of those people?"
The little monk said: "Your Majesty is relieved, you will see it when you are young!"
"Well, yes, back then, the Tang Dynasty also came to the Western Regions and got a great good fate, and now the prince of the Tang Dynasty is the first to send troops to attack, but he is not a son of man, and the sin is not small!"
Don't say anything more at the moment, let the monk go down, thinking about it in his heart. Not to mention that.
Two hours later, near noon, there was a sudden noise under the tower, and the ground shook slightly.
The soldiers hurriedly went up to the watchtower to take a look, but it was the Tang army who arrived as scheduled, and rushed forward in a panic to report.
After a short time, soldiers and horses were dispatched, and the two armies faced each other.
Among the Tang army, a man wearing silver armor, a military helmet, and a steel gun stepped out of the horse.
He held a steel gun, pointed at the soldiers and horses opposite, and shouted: "You and other young generals, the pearl of rice grains, are actually the enemy of my ****, and they are ready to move three times, and now our army is here, and you will not be surrendered!"
This person is General Xiaowei, Murong Fu.
As soon as the words fell, I heard a sneer, and there was also a person on the other side, wearing armor, young and handsome, straddle the horse and carry a knife, pulled the reins, and answered before the battle.
"Haha! I don't say much to you, I just report my name, come to see you, and ask you to stay alive!"
After that, it was already on the horse, Murong Fu didn't say a word, he destroyed the horse, jumped on the spot, and the person had already grabbed it, and raised his head to shoot straight at the door.
The young general did not panic, raised a knife, the wrong gun straightened, and the killing general came up, and the knife was extremely powerful.
Murong Fu received a few knives, but he couldn't get close, so he secretly paid attention to the flaws.
Killed more than a dozen rounds back and forth, one shot at the knife, and if you can't kill it, the other party has no way to hurt yourself.
Suddenly, he lifted the horse's head, went around the back of the young general, stepped on the horse's back, and stabbed him in the back of the heart.
fired a shot, but it didn't hurt him, the young general looked back, the knife flashed, and a faint knife qi penetrated out, slashing down on the top of Murong Fu's head.
Murong Fu's heart moved, shook the gun, blocked it, and suddenly swept towards the young general, stepping off the horse, bang, the horse screamed, and the hooves were unstable.
He took the opportunity to shake the gun again, put it away, and wanted to kill this young general with one blow when he fell off his horse.
But who knew that the other party took advantage of the momentum and jumped up, high in the air, and he was about to shoot him, when suddenly, he became alert.
I saw this young general, his figure flashed, and he disappeared.
Murong Fu knew that it was not good, so he was about to dodge, but suddenly felt a pain in his back, and saw that the knife was slashed on the shoulder, and he couldn't dodge, so he received another knife, right in the back.
He was so badly wounded that he had to scream, slap his horse and gallop back to the camp.
In the Tang Army, Zhu Delong saw this and knew that the matter was urgent, so he flew to the rescue, but there was no time, and the young general also caught up in the air in an instant.
I saw that the figure flashed, the knife came out like a dragon, poof, it hit Murong Fu's neck, the knife was twisted, the neck clicked and broke, and a head fell, only the corpse went with the horse, and the person was dead.
Zhu Delong happened to come out at this time, and when he saw such a scene, he couldn't help but be furious: "Who are you young generals! You dare to kill my Tang Army general!
The young general, lifted his head and flew back to the horse, threw the bloody head, hung it on the flagpole in front of the battle, and sneered: "I am Huang Yuetian of the Worry-free Country, you are so unbearable, you dare to offer treasures in front of the army! I advise you to quickly ask your commander to withdraw from the army, so as not to lose his life, otherwise, the fate of that person will be a lesson from the past!"
When Zhu Delong heard this, he was even more furious, his blood and qi were so red that his face was red, and he was violent, and he rushed to kill.
The two were in front of the army, and Zhu Delong was spear and knife together, his moves were fierce and very fierce, as if he was going to fight for his life this time and cut the other party under the horse.
Seeing this, Huang Yuetian put his hand behind his back, put away the knife, and took out the double hook with his backhand, practicing parrying.
After a few rounds of fighting, suddenly the figure twisted, and the horseback was empty, Zhu Delong pounced on the air, and hurriedly looked around, but there was no one, and this hand couldn't help but tighten, and he was very vigilant.
Suddenly, as soon as the sand and gravel on the ground moved, he felt that he was sitting down lightly, and then, when he sat down, the war horse suddenly neighed.
He looked down and saw that the horse had sunk as if it had stepped into the swamp.
Zhu Delong was shocked, hurriedly came down, stabbed the gun, snorted, the ground flashed, and the hook knife was like a spiritual snake, coming towards Zhu Delong's pipa bone.
This Zhu Delong was suddenly terrified, and he hurriedly pinched it, and was about to get out, but it was too late, and he was sparkled through the pipa bone.
He didn't care about his injuries, screamed, and walked away.
Huang Yuetian sneered, pounced, rushed to the Tang military camp, and with a flick of his fingers, he shot out the blood pattern needle, and was about to shoot through Zhu Delong's body, but he saw a sudden yellow light flash in front of him, and a talisman wrapped the blood pattern needle.
Huang Yuetian's heart moved, and with a loud bang, Huang Fu exploded to pieces.
He himself turned into a blue light, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Tang Yuan's horse and suddenly attacked, wanting to kill Tang Yuan.
Tang Yuan raised the sword in his hand and killed it with a sword.
Huang Yuetian fought hard, but he was defeated, and Tang Yuan broke his protective soft armor, knowing that he was not an opponent, he hurriedly left.
When he returned to the battle, although he was not Tang Yuan's opponent, he killed Murong Fu and seriously injured Zhu Delong, and he also returned victorious.
Tang Yuan waved the military flag, Xiao Yu and Sima Yan came out, and rushed to kill, and suddenly swords and guns were staggered, cold shadows were intertwined, and they were killed.
rushed to kill for a while, just as the sword light and sword qi were rampant, harvesting life.
Suddenly, in the midst of the battle of the mandala soldiers and horses, a golden light suddenly rushed up from the middle camp, and in a few breaths, it was thrown into the battle.
Tang Yuan, Tang Zhao, Wang Daoming, and Su Jing were watching, and this sudden golden light appeared, and the scene was bright.
When several people looked at it together, they saw a monk who had fallen into the field, blessed with the dragon elephant seal, wore a golden robe, held a bowl, held a prayer bead, rode a golden horse, and had steady four hooves.
He recited Amitabha, and then like a tiger entering a flock, he flew out of the prayer beads, turned the beads into dragons, sat down and collided with the golden horse, and the power suppressed the audience, but the mandala soldiers and horses had the upper hand.
"How can this be reasonable! In front of these two armies, Mandala City actually sent such a master! Fang Cai secretly deceived and did not kill the young general, but now he has to make an inch. The deception is too great, how can you rest!"
Tang Zhao didn't see it well, he knew that this monk was powerful, and that Huang Yuetian was also a master just now, and he sent a spirit rune to resist, but it was easily broken, knowing that the other party was powerful, he was indignant in his heart.
He didn't care about his face, ignored Tang Yuan's persuasion, took his sword weapon, rose into the air, and rushed towards the soldiers and horses in this battle, wanting to kill this monk.
In an instant, he fell in front of the monk's horse, drew his sword, and cut off his head and face with a sword.
The monk ate in block, and did not talk nonsense, recited a mantra of the word Om, and raised the rosary to resist.
I saw that his hands were divided and closed, and he clamped Tang Zhao's sword in his hand.
As soon as Tang Zhao gave the sword, he threw out several iron pills with his backhand, all of which were the size of beads, and hit the monk's eyeballs and acupuncture points, and there was a faint sound of breaking the air, obviously this was a use of means.
When the monk saw it, he just said: "The donor is so good at kung fu, what a deep killing intent!"
As soon as he turned the bowl and shook his palm, he saw that the beads stopped and hung in the air, and they were actually fixed in mid-air by the mana, and it was difficult to move in.
The sword was also entangled in the monk's robe, although it couldn't break the robe, but the monk didn't dare to let go.
It turns out that this monk is the Yuanyuan monk who has achieved the golden body and supernatural powers in the world, but he was originally the reincarnation of the dervish Arhat and cultivated, and he has long been a heavenly immortal, and his mana is quite profound.
Tang Zhao saw this Yuanyuan monk's means, although it was difficult to deal with, but he himself had cultivated for decades, and his physical body also had magical powers, and he had also achieved immortal Taoism.
At the moment, he did not retreat but advanced, sacrificed a talisman, shouted, raised his hand, and the ground was suddenly covered with yellow sand, and he sacrificed a flying sword and slashed it violently.
The talisman condensed the yellow sand, and with a finger from Tang Zhao's hand, it became a giant sword of yellow sand, gathering but not dispersing, almost covering a piece of the sky above his head.
As soon as his mind moved, with a bang, the giant sword slashed down, and suddenly, it swept towards the waist of Monk Yuanyuan.
A few people in front of the Tang army could see the yellow sand spinning, but a few breaths were dim, and the naked eye was almost blurry, and they couldn't see the situation clearly, and they could only hear the screams of the soldiers on the opposite side being hit.
Monk Yuanyuan saw Tang Zhao's hand, he was quite imposing, frowned, and carried the Buddha's light to break the edge of the giant sword.
But the sword was not originally a steel weapon, but the yellow sand was driven and gathered with talismans and mana, although it was fragile, it was scattered and gathered.
Monk Yuanyuan broke through twice, but he lost his patience, and saw Tang Zhao take out a small golden flag, and sacrificed it between shaking, attached to the divine soul, and came to his face.
He was about to use the Dharma to capture and shoot the soul, when suddenly the golden banner turned around and killed the army behind him.
Although Monk Yuanyuan had a premonition, he was also angry!
At that moment, he drank and dared, slapped the bowl in his hand, and the priest got up and recited the mantra.
With a finger of the handle, I could see that under the light of the Buddha, it seemed to be a giant dragon, and the giant sword was twisted and scattered, and the golden banner was also fixed.
Tang Zhao was also surprised, he was about to use this banner to cooperate with the spirit rune, and the condensing sword killed the bald donkey, but he didn't want to scatter again.
Hurriedly wanted to urge the mana, gather again, and kill again, but where did he expect that this Yuanyuan monk recited the mantra again, and then said: "Sin!"
With another finger of the bowl, Tang Zhao saw it hit violently, fast and fierce, but this time he couldn't resist it, and with a loud bang, he burst all the armor of his head and his brains and splattered out, and he didn't even have time to scream, so he died on the spot.
Let's say that Monk Yuanyuan killed Tang Zhao.
As soon as this person died, the mana dissipated, and the vermilion talisman hidden in the yellow sand burst open, and the golden banner also fell.
The situation in the field suddenly became clear.
The Tang Dynasty army, all the generals and soldiers, saw that the monk Yuanyuan was still riding a horse, holding a bowl, and holding a golden flag, with a calm face.
And Tang Zhao had already died in front of the horse, his brain and blood were flowing on the ground, and his body was in a different place!
