The 711th Battle of Zhelong

After the main army of the Golden Eagle King was annihilated, the official army marched all the way south to the Zhelong region. This time, in order to completely defeat the official army, Zhong Bajie threw all Shang Wenhu's wives and children into the dungeon, and told Shang Wenhu: "If you can't annihilate the official army and the people who learn from the scriptures, don't blame me for being ruthless to kill all your wives and children." ”

After Shang Wenhu received Zhong Bajie's military order, he was very angry in his heart, and he wanted to kill Zhong Bajie. But in order to rescue his wife and children, he had to continue to fight against the official army, so he called the four demon beast kings, the ancient lizard king, the tiger lizard king, the dragon lizard king, and the lizard hunting king, to his side to discuss the next battle plan to annihilate the official army in the Zhelong region.

In the face of the attack of a strong enemy who learns scriptures, the Ancient Lizard King has long known that this Huaizhi master's kung fu has made rapid progress, and he has cultivated to a very high level, and it is rarely difficult to meet an opponent in the demon world. So he said to his brothers and General Wenhu: "This time we have encountered a strong opponent, whether it is the Tang Dynasty Demon Monk or the Tang Dynasty official army, it is difficult to deal with, so the battle in this Zhelong War Zone must be a fierce battle." If we want to defeat the Tang Dynasty officials and people by surprise, we must surprise our troops to win. ”

After hearing this ancient lizard king's words, Shang Wenhu continued: "Among the high-ranking disciples of this scripture learner, all of them have great magical powers, and we are afraid that even surprise soldiers are not their opponents. Therefore, in my opinion, it is still in the Zhelong theater to continue to fight ambush warfare and hunt. The problem now is that our defensive offensive in the Zhelong area must be foolproof, so today General Ben invited all the kings to listen to everyone's opinions, to see if there are any loopholes in our pre-war deployment, and it is still too late to remediate in time. ”

After hearing the general Shang Wenhu say this, the Lizard Hunter King expressed his opinion on the combat deployment of Shang Wenlong, he pointed out: "This time our army is facing the officers and soldiers, it is impossible to annihilate them all, even if we can win, I am afraid that we will also pay huge sacrifices, so I think that within the scope of our army's deployment, we can adopt a mobile and flexible ambush shooting combat method, so that the enemy army is trapped in our army's continuous harassment and counterattack war, so that the officers and soldiers are in danger, dilemma, and passivity." At that time, we will continue to look for fighters to hunt down the enemy commander, so as to achieve the goal of our army's final victory. Therefore, I proposed that the two directions in the northeast and northwest should be used as the focus of the ambush positions, and the defense should be deployed, and the traps should be set up so that these officers and soldiers can enjoy themselves. ”

After listening to the words of the Lizard Hunter King, Shang Wenhu handed over the operational deployment in the northeast and northwest directions to the Lizard Hunter King and the two generals of the Tiger Lizard King in order to protect his family, so that they could rely on their own skills to carry out the arrangement, as long as they could drag the dead officers and soldiers, they could lay a good foundation for the large-scale counteroffensive of the Zhelong Campaign, and lay the foundation for the Tubo army to finally achieve a comprehensive victory in the Zhelong Campaign.

After receiving the military order from General Shang Wenhu, the Lizard Hunter and the Tiger Lizard King increased their deployment in the positions in the northeast and northwest directions of Zhelong, so that the officers and troops would pay a huge price no matter which direction they entered Zhelong, and made all the pre-battle preparations.

This time, the official army will continue to recover the Zhelong region, and Generalissimo Guo Xin, as the commander of the whole army, attaches great importance to the intelligence of the Zhelong region in order to fight this battle well. They asked Xuantong Liuer and Golden Silk King Monkey to carry out pre-war reconnaissance of the Zhelong war zone, and after they had all the situation, the officers and troops continued to formulate a battle plan for attacking Zhelong.

After receiving the military order, the two saints of Xuantong Liuer and Golden Silk King Monkey flew into the Zhelong war zone alone to carry out reconnaissance. At this time, the Lizard Hunter is guarding the northeast. When they saw two Tibetan people coming from in front of them, they used their eyes to check. Only then did it be discovered that the two saints of Xuantong Liuer and the Golden Silk King Monkey had become the people of Tubo to make up and investigate, so they let the beast demon become a Tibetan soldier and deliberately leaked out some ambush locations so that these two saints could draw. In order to wait until the officers and soldiers thought they were in control of everything and launched a counterattack, they unexpectedly trapped the officers and soldiers here. Everything was arranged according to their pre-war arrangement, and everything was controlled in a frightening manner.

After Xuantong Liuer and his junior brother Golden Silk King Monkey came to the area arranged by the enemy army, they carefully checked the surrounding situation with their own eyes. Soon the traces of the beast demon were discovered, and then thousands of monkey soldiers and monkeys were about to launch a tentative attack on the area. These monkey soldiers and monkeys will rush everywhere, so that the ambushed beasts and demons will leak out one after another according to the instructions of the lizard hunting king, and Xuantong Liuer will take this opportunity to carry out a comprehensive reconnaissance and draw a map of the deployment of troops. After reconnoitring everything here, the two saints flew to the northwest and continued their reconnaissance. As a result, the Tiger Lizard King, who guarded the northwest, was the same as the Lizard Hunter King, and deliberately exposed some traps for the two saints to investigate and clear. In this way, after Xuantong Liuer and the Golden Silk King Monkey cleared all the reconnaissance here, they flew back to the official army camp and reported all the detected information to Generalissimo Guo Xin and the masters and apprentices who learned from the scriptures.

After learning about these circumstances, Generalissimo Guo Xin decided to annihilate all the beast demon legions on the periphery of Zhelong, and then attack the central area. In this way, everything was in accordance with the military order of Generalissimo Guo Xin, and the officers and troops soon launched a full-scale operation.

When the Lizard King saw the attack of the official army, he asked all the beast demons to prepare for the attack, and waited until the enemy army rushed into the ambush area, and launched a full-scale counterattack. In order to help the official army overcome the peripheral offensive in the Zhelong region, Master Huaizhi led his disciples to rush forward. As a result, the army went very smoothly at the beginning according to the information provided by Xuantong Liu'er. But when it came to the center, everything changed suddenly. When the Lizard King saw the arrival of the fighters, he led all his men and horses to launch a counterattack hunt. They used the offensive they had built to attack everywhere without a trace. This caused the officers and soldiers to encounter unprecedented casualties, and they were in a dilemma when they were ambushed by the Beast Demon Legion.

After seeing all this, the loyal and righteous monkey asked the brothers to lead the monkey soldiers and monkey generals to protect the officers and soldiers to launch a comprehensive counterattack, and fight a bloody way for the officers and soldiers. In this way, under the hard work of the monkey soldiers and monkey generals, a bloody way was fought for the officers and soldiers. After this defeat, the officers and troops suffered heavy casualties. The Tianshan Snow Monkey began to show his skills to heal the injuries of the officers and soldiers. As a result, seeing that the soldiers were so seriously injured, he was very angry in his heart, so he came to Guo Xin's tent and continued to ask the marshal for his life, to personally teach this hateful lizard hunting king a lesson.

Generalissimo Guo Xin's lack of understanding of the enemy's situation caused the officers and troops to suffer huge losses. There was no better way to do it all the time. After hearing the Tianshan Snow Monkey say this, there was no doctrine all of a sudden. At this time, the loyal and righteous monkey said to the coach Guo Xin: "If you want to defeat the ambush of the lizard hunting king, you have to come out of the Tianshan Snow Monkey." After hearing this, Marshal Guo Xin agreed to let the Tianshan Snow Monkey go to the ambush circle of the Lizard Hunting King to fight and attack.

After receiving the military order, the Tianshan Snow Monkey flew into the ambush area of the Lizard Hunter. When the beasts spotted him, they fixed all their eyes on him. As a result, staring around, in the blink of an eye, an unknown number of Tianshan snow monkeys appeared, which made the beast demon not know which one to fight, so he began to shoot everywhere. At this time, the Tianshan Snow Monkey directly turned all his transformations into the soldiers of the Lizard Hunter King, so that the beast demon soldiers could not distinguish between friend and foe at all, and began to kill each other in their own caves, resulting in the entire ambush offensive being a mess. When the snow monkey saw that the beast demon was almost done, he began to use fire to attack and kill the enemy, which made all the soldiers of the Lizard Hunter escape from the position and the crypt and rushed to the ground to escape. The snow monkey then continued to attack with the transformation technique, and finally crushed the tens of thousands of beast demons from the casualties, completely losing all positions.

After seeing this scene, the Lizard King was extremely angry, so he showed his ability to kill the Tianshan Snow Monkey, and finally after hundreds of rounds of bloody battles between the two of them, the Lizard King could not defeat the Tianshan Snow Monkey at all, so he had to fly to the northwest position to help the Tiger Lizard King continue to block the Tianshan Snow Monkey. However, with the Tianshan Snow Monkey here, they couldn't stop it at all, and in the end, the Tianshan Snow Monkey used the same tactical play to beat the combat deployment of the Tiger Lizard King. After several bloody battles, they paid the greatest casualties, and had to abandon the peripheral battlefield with the Lizard Hunter King and retreat to the central area of Zhelong.

Shang Wenhu learned that the battle on the periphery was extremely tragic, and the beast demon soldiers had lost all 30,000 of them, so he had to put all his troops in the core area and prepare for a decisive battle with the official army.

After the Tianshan Snow Monkey wiped out all the external offensives, he flew back to the official army camp, and after reconnoitering the situation in the center of the Zhelong area, he told all the information to Generalissimo Guo Xin. After the defeat in the last battle, Guo Xin couldn't make up his mind about the next central battle, so he called all the marshals and generals to the big tent of the Chinese army, wanting to listen to everyone's opinions on how to fight the next battle.

After Yang Hong, the cold-faced god of war, learned about these situations, he proposed: "I want to lead an elite division to enter the center of Zhelong first, and wait until the enemy's ambush position is all exposed, and with the help of the master and apprentice, the officers and troops are launching a comprehensive attack to complete the battle plan of annihilating the enemy army in one fell swoop." ”

After Generalissimo Guo Xin heard what Generalissimo Yang Hong said, he realized that Yang Hong would definitely endure a brutal fierce battle when he led the team to fight this time. At this time, the officers and troops must be optimistic about the fire when they launch an attack, and if the enemy's defensive positions are not fully exposed too early, our army will definitely pay huge casualties. Moreover, in order to expose all the enemy's secret positions, the masters and apprentices could not intervene in advance, so this combat task was extremely arduous. He said to Generalissimo Yang Hong: "We must think about this battle in the long run, and I can't sacrifice my own brothers. As a result, after hearing this, Yang Hong insisted on going to war, and if he didn't agree, he would lead his headquarters of five hundred sword and axe men to fight to meet the enemy.

Seeing that Generalissimo Yang Hong insisted on going, Generalissimo Guo Xin had no choice but to agree, so that all the masters and apprentices could respond at any time. In this way, Yang Hong carefully selected 3,000 soldiers as the vanguard and rushed into the center of Zhelong and launched an all-out attack.

General Shang Wenhu saw that the official army had killed a commander, and only brought 3,000 elite soldiers, so he asked the two generals of the Ancient Lizard King and the Dragon Lizard King to mobilize all the main forces to annihilate them in one fell swoop. In this way, Generalissimo Yang Hong continued to use cold-blooded tactics to mobilize all the soldiers to fight to the death, and after several bloody battles, he suffered heavy casualties, exposing all the ambush positions of General Shang Wenhu. After seeing all this, Master Huaizhi led all the disciples to rush to Yang Hong's aid, and in this way, all the masters and apprentices appeared on the battlefield as quickly as possible. At this time, it was too late for the Dragon Lizard King to withdraw from the Beast Demon Legion, and the two sides soon started a full-scale fierce battle together.

General Guo Xin saw that the fire was almost over, so he led the whole army to launch a comprehensive attack, and in this fell swoop, he entered the ambush area of the Tubo army, and as a result, the Tubo army at this time was unable to effectively shoot the officers and soldiers, and the team was all disrupted by the masters and apprentices and Yang Hong's advance team, so they had to fight separately.

This lizard hunter and tiger lizard dragon will show their ability to fight to the death. In the end, he was besieged by all the high-ranking disciples, and after hundreds of rounds of hard fighting, he was taken in by Master Huaizhi. The remaining dragon lizard beast and ancient lizard beast two generals also showed their skills, and they could not escape their doom, and in the end, like the other brothers, they were all accepted into the demon subduing purple gold bottle by Master Huaizhi.

Under the deterrence of the mana of the Buddha's body, the beast demon army fought several bloody battles, lost all its strength, and suffered heavy casualties. General Shang Wenhu fought to the death for his family, and finally met his brother Shang Wenlong. The elder brother still persuaded him to return to the Tang Dynasty official army as always. As a result, Shang Wenhu would rather choose to die in battle than surrender. fought like this to the end, and Generalissimo Guo Xin had no choice but to order him to be let go.

As a result, after Shang Wen* escaped from the Zhelong war zone with his own war horse, he met the land lord. Only then did he know that Zhong Bajie learned that he had been defeated repeatedly, so he was ready to kill all his wives and children, but fortunately, the wise-eyed monk monkey appeared in time, rescued his wife and children, and handed them over to the land lord, so that their family could be reunited.

After Shang Wenhu saw his wife and children, he realized that it was impossible for him to return to some cities, and in order to settle his family, he had to choose to join the official army. In this way, with the surrender of General Shang Wenhu, the official army won a decisive victory in the Battle of Zhelong. This Generalissimo Guo Xin got another tiger general to reinvigorate his military prestige for him to continue south. With the assistance of all the masters and apprentices, they marched to the Tubo Dala region. For more information, continue below.
