Chapter 25: Life and Death
"How did Wuxiang attack, alas, but there is no way, if he doesn't appear, Qingxu's side will be tight, the ambush in the valley of the Demon Sect has come out, it shouldn't matter if you don't defend the valley mouth, now the situation is improving, the people and horses of the Demon Sect on the back road, can't resist the two-sided attack of Qingxu and Wuxiang, they will inevitably collapse first, and then, Shangguan suspects that they are under siege, it seems that this time the Demon Sect is in a hurry, and the Wumeng is going to turn defeat into victory. "www.biquge.info Zhang Tianling calculated the battle situation from afar, although Wuxiang violated the prior agreement, but judging from the current situation, his approach is not necessarily wrong.
At this time, both the Demon Sect and the Martial Alliance have lost their absolute grasp of the current battle situation, and this big battle is too variable, and all the predicted plans have lost their due role with the deviation of the battle situation.
The Demon Sect originally planned to chase and kill the Wumeng rout all the way, and then intercept and encircle the Sanssouci Valley, but was destroyed by the Heavenly Sword Villa and the Zhengqi Gate, and had to blow up the Sanssouci Valley, which hurt people, and was ready to take advantage of the heavy casualties of the Wumeng, in front of the Broken Moon Gorge, to surround the Wumeng people and horses with superior forces, and fight a war of annihilation, but I didn't expect that the Heavenly Sword Villa and the Zhengqimen came so quickly after the battle against the two kings of the Demon Sect, and the Wumeng had been secretly connectedγ
However, after Shangguan Su and Situ Mei's counterattack attack, and Fu Jianzhi's ambush appeared, they once pulled back the situation, and the key to victory or defeat depended on whether they and Shangguan Su's combined efforts could break Qingxu and Gongye Yi before Dugu Hong arrived.
Wuxiang's decisive attack put Fu Jianzhi's men and horses into a crisis, just like two chess players in the next game of Go, one robbery after another, and winning or losing depends on whose robbery is not enough.
The current situation seems that the chess of the Demon Sect is one breath less than that of the Wu League, once the brigade is destroyed, the back hand left by Gu Ruyan, the more than 100 people, even if they occupy Taniguchi, will not play any role.
"The situation is not good, I can't imagine that I have been designing for so many years, and there are still so many accidents, alas, the strength of Zhongzhou and the Southern Regions is really too different, if I can be evenly matched, how can I be so passive, how long will it take, Dongfang. β
"At most, there will be a quarter of an hour, and they will arrive, but as soon as this quarter of an hour passes, the disciples below are afraid that more than half of them will be killed or wounded. β
"As long as they resist, don't say half, it's eighty percent, I can also win this game, order to go down, fight to the death. β
"It's weird, I'm not surprised that others fight to the death, this Shangguan is suspicious, he never stands under the dangerous wall, and if something is wrong, he will retreat immediately, and today it will actually fall to this point, and if he continues to surround it like this, he can't retreat if he wants to, the Demon Sect has lost money this time, and the last one is going to lose and spit out all the previous wins. "Dugu Hong has found Shangguan Suspicion several times, but he has escaped, and if he retreats earlier, he can retreat like Yuwen Evil, but he just fell into death and did not leave, Dugu Hong's heart couldn't help but flash a shadow.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming. β
Wu Meng now has an absolute advantage, Fu Jianzhi's men and horses have almost collapsed, and Shangguan Su and Situ Mei's men and horses have also suffered more than half of the casualties, but Zhang Tianling, Dugu Hong, Duanmu Shou and others can't see a trace of smile on their faces, something is wrong.
Something is wrong, the people of the Demon Sect have never been good men who regard death as home, they have always been famous for being able to fight, and if they can't fight, they will flee, and there must be demons when things go wrong, the Demon Sect has set such a big situation, and the possibility of dying in the last step is too small, but, even if it is Zhang Tianling, he feels that it is wrong, but he can't guess what the next move of the Demon Sect is?
"It's a pity that Master Lin is not here, otherwise with his thoughts, maybe he can guess the next move of the Demon Sect, Dugu, isn't Master Lin with you, why don't you see anyone now?"
"Lin Batu, when the ambush came out of the Broken Moon Gorge, he arranged for me to help you deal with Yuwen Evil here, and then rushed to the front with the righteous qi gate first, it may be that there is a loophole somewhere, he went to make it up, it's strange that the battlefield people can't see his figure now." β
As he was talking, everyone only felt the ground tremble slightly, and then a black line slowly appeared in the distance, and slowly, the black line turned into a black tide, rushing towards the battlefield, and only a noise was heard in the distance.
"What's that?"
"That's, that's, that's the 8,000 officers and soldiers who haven't withdrawn. β
"Oh no, I know what the Demon Sect wants to do, Luohan Formation, turn, don't let the chaotic army rush in. β
"It's too late. β
It turned out that the 8,000 officers and troops who appeared as the help of the Wumeng, because after entering the Southern Regions, the supply became a problem, and they were arranged to be stationed nearby.
Unexpectedly, when the situation of the Wumeng was reversed and the defeat turned into victory, they appeared on the edge of the battlefield as a rout, and at this juncture, their original allies became the enemy's force.
"Hell, ahhahahaha, it's the same in front, hahahaha. "The officers and soldiers with bloodstained faces have a strange expression on their faces.
There is obviously no one chasing behind, but these 8,000 officers and soldiers, as if there are demons and monsters chasing behind, desperately run forward, and as long as someone in front of them is blocked, unceremoniously, raising their hands is a knife.
If you want to say that the one-on-one battle, the combat power of the officers and soldiers is far from the disciples of the Wumeng, not to mention the 8,000 officers and soldiers, even if it is 18,000, as long as it is not in formation, it will not pose any threat to the masters of the Wumeng, but the current Wumeng, a few days of accidents, starvation, rushing for their lives, seeing that the way of life is ahead, and fighting hard, is now exhausted after a long battle, the end of the strong crossbow, and the face is not 8,000 officers and soldiers, but 8,000 madmen.
Before they could react, the tide of chaos rushed into the battle formation of the Martial Alliance, for the attack of the disciples of the Martial Alliance, the officers and soldiers did not seem to feel pain, and did not dodge, but in the same way, under the attack of the Martial Alliance in exchange for injuries, it was difficult for the disciples of the Martial Alliance to dodge.
Dugu Hong, Kong Wen and the others had no room to react, and could only watch as the battle array of the Wumeng was about to be overwhelmed by eight thousand madmen. The elite of the sect that we have worked hard to cultivate all our lives have fought together with these worthless ordinary people.
"There is still a chance, Brother Dugu, take the disciples of Heavenly Sword Villa to go up and replace Kongwen them, Shangguan Su and Situ Mei can only rely on you. Zhang Tianling immediately decided: "Tianjian Villa, Zen Heart Temple changed formations, the Arhat array turned forward, the warrior monks of Zen Heart Temple, the lion roared, and the Buddha was declared Sanskrit." β
Dugu Hong shook his long sword and flicked away wisps of blood: "Don't worry, leave it to me, even if all the five hundred disciples of my Heavenly Sword Villa die in battle, they will not let them cross the thunder pool." β
"The Four Swords of the Heavenly Gate, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword, life and death, it depends on us, what the Zen Heart Temple can do, our Heavenly Sword Villa, can't we do it? Heavenly Sword Technique, Explode !!" Where the sword light flew, the disciples of the Demon Sect retreated one after another.
Although the Heavenly Sword Villa does not have a large array to protect the temple like the Zen Heart Temple, and it is extremely stable, however, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword are famous for not being afraid of death, and Dugu Hong's sword qi does not consider the loss, and the power is even more amazing.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, the three monks hurriedly turned around the formation, and while running the lion's roar with all their strength, they pronounced the Sanskrit sound of the Buddha's name, and turned around to meet them.
When the men and horses of the two sides met, the rout was like a tide, and the Luo Fa array was like a reef, and after wave after wave of tide, the reef was still exposed on the water.
Countless Zen Heart Temple warrior monks fell, and the reserve was made up, eight hundred warrior monks, and in a moment, nearly two hundred people fell, but even though the Arhat Array was shaking, after all, it still held on. The rout crossed the Arhat formation and circled to both sides.
"It's so dangerous, I finally survived. Zhang Tianling wiped a handful of sweat and was afraid.
"If it weren't for Zhang Zhenren's quick decision, this time the Wumeng would be in a catastrophe again. Duanmu Shou also breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Zen Heart Temple is worthy of being the first major sect in Zhongzhou, the Arhat Array, it is really amazing, Zhang Tianling made a decision immediately, and he is also a character, Dugu Hong, hum, this person is not dead, and it will be a great harm to my demon sect. Fortunately, not every sect is called Zen Heart Temple, Dugu Hong, in the final analysis, is only one person's strength. The Holy Hand is here, it is up to you. β
The Holy Hand nodded, took out a bamboo whistle from his arms, put it in his mouth, and his cheeks bulged, blowing red and red, but he didn't make a sound.
The routed soldiers, who had been scattered and bypassed by the Luohan Formation, suddenly changed again, and the speed that slowed down increased again.
But this time, the direction is the stragglers of various sects.
This time, the Wumeng suffered many times, and only Tianjian Villa and Zen Heart Temple were in the queue, and the rest of the people and horses of various factions were killed and wounded miserably, and they were exhausted, and they could no longer withstand the great changes. Pressed by these crazy routs, they couldn't stand on their feet, and they were coerced and moved, and they couldn't stop even if they tried their best to find a way.
Zhang Tianling and the others, before they let go of their breath, their hearts were tightly lifted again.
It's bad now, the disciples of the Wumeng are mixed in the rout, and they are pushed to the Arhat Formation of Zen Heart Temple, the Luofa Formation is extremely powerful, and it is said that it is to be defended, so it is naturally still able to hold it, but if the Arhat Formation does not let go and let the defeated troops of each faction enter the formation, then their result can only be shot to death in front of the Arhat Formation, and once the formation is released.......
To put it or not to put it?
If you don't let go, the more than 1,000 surviving disciples of various sects, who have survived the southern expedition, retreat, grain bombing, fire attack, and encirclement and suppression, will die in front of the Arhat formation of the Zen Heart Temple.
Put, once they enter the formation, the Arhat Formation has no time to close, and is attacked by the rout, because there are other people in the array, the operation of the Arhat Array will inevitably be ineffective, and the consequence may be collapse, once the Arhat Array collapses, not only these disciples will not survive, but the Heavenly Sword Villa in front of them will also be defeated, and when the time comes, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Kong Wen encountered the most difficult choice since he was born, and reason told him that the Arhat Formation must not be opened, but as a person in the Buddhist Sect, he couldn't say this sentence.
Don't say it's an empty question, even Zhang Tianling, who is good at calculating gains and losses, can't bear to open this mouth.
To put it or not to put it?
The lives of a thousand, the lives of three thousand, human life is not a number, but human life is another number, the life of a thousand, the life of three thousand.
"Good and good, in order to save your life, don't save your allies, this kind of thing, the old man can't do it, it's empty, start a battle. Sora still made up his mind.
"Old bald donkey, you are stupid, Master Kongwen, hold on to the big formation, my disciples, all die outside the formation, it is better than being a knife in the hands of the enemy, I only hate that they were not trained strictly before, and they couldn't stabilize their positions when they encountered major events, they all died in front of the Arhat array, and I have no regrets. A furious voice roared.
"Master Mashi, why are you so troubled? β
"Kong asked, I already knew that you were pedantic, but I didn't expect you to be pedantic to this point, if you change the head of Dugu here, he will inevitably choose the right one, these are already irreparable losses, do you want to increase the losses that could have been avoided for peace of mind. Lao Tzu is willing to do it for you to return to Zhongzhou alive, and the robbers are willing to do it, are you still afraid of dying a few disciples. Ma Xingkong shouted violently.
"Either way, or not, after this incident, the old man returned to the temple to atone for his sins. Sora sighed and closed his eyes.
"Arhat formation, come forward, no one is allowed to pass, Amitabha. β
The Shaolin monks looked excited, but they still promised one by one, and the Luohan array turned to the front again, this time, the enemy they faced was their former comrades-in-arms.
