There was a rustle, and tens of thousands of people poured out of the woods on both sides of the road. Most of them were dressed in different clothes and had various weapons in their hands. They were more like civilians than soldiers. The other half were covered in golden armor and held large weapons.
Jian, if Murong Fu were here, he would definitely recognize that the attire of this army was similar to the one he saw at the Wolf Alliance headquarters.
After seeing these troops, the Imam quickly understood. After a moment of awareness, he looked in one direction and said, "Assassin, it turns out to be you!"
Wearing a black cloak, Assassin stood out from the crowd, with an equally surprised look on his face, "It's me."
It turned out that this army was the Mingjiao army plus the Persian army brought by Assassin. Murong Fu sent it to the Qinling Mountains in order to block Temujin's retreat.
Of course, it is not necessarily true that Murong Fu was so confident that he would win this battle. This was just a casual move, because he did not trust Assassin at all. Naturally, it was impossible to put the Mingjiao army into Xiangyang City, but since it took so long
You can't use money, so you took advantage of the situation and put it on Temujin's back road.
"I didn't expect you to take refuge with Murong Fu." The Imam said in surprise.
Assassin looked calm, "I didn't expect that you would seek refuge with Temujin."
The Imam's face froze slightly, but then he regained his composure, "You should understand the purpose of what I did."
Assassin nodded, "I understand, but I can't understand. No matter what, he destroyed our home and everything about the Holy Religion. Even if you rebuild the Holy Religion in the future, even if you spread the radiance of the Holy Fire all over the world, it won't be the same."
The original holy religion.”
The Imam looked around at the army and shouted coldly, "As the great elder of the Ming Cult, I also have the right to command the Golden Armored Army of the Cult. Now I order you to retreat!"
The golden-armored soldiers immediately looked at each other, at Imam, and at Assassin, as if they didn't know who to listen to.
Assassin sighed slightly, "You have betrayed the Holy Religion. What qualifications do you have to command the Golden Armor of the Holy Religion? Listen, Imam, in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, did not hesitate to seek refuge with Temujin, the greatest enemy of the Holy Religion. From today on
Since then, he is no longer the great elder of our religion."
Upon hearing this, the Golden Armored Army immediately drew their swords and faced each other with a look of disgust and hatred on their faces.
An angry look flashed across the Imam's face, "Assassin, you are below me in terms of position, and you are not as good as me in terms of martial arts. What qualifications do you have to deprive me of my status as a great elder!"
Assassin shook his head, "The three elders just have different duties, there is no distinction between superior and inferior. You are in charge of the Holy Fire, and I am in charge of the Holy Fire Order. Seeing the Holy Fire Order is like seeing the Ming Zun. You have violated a taboo of this religion. You said that I
Are you qualified to deprive you of your identity?"
The Imam's expression changed, and he suddenly remembered something. He asked calmly, "What about the Holy Fire Order? Please bring the Holy Fire Order out and let us take a look."
Assassin's face was suffocated. After the Holy Fire Order was deceived by Murong Fu, he originally promised to get it back in person within three months. However, the Central Plains Mingjiao was beaten by Dayuan so hard that he couldn't get away. Last time, he was
When Murong Fu met in Xiangyang City, he had something to ask for, so he didn't mention it. Now if he was asked to take it out, where would he take it.
The Imam laughed ferociously, opened his hands, and a ball of golden flame burst out from his chest. He laughed and said, "The Ming Cult rules state that when the Holy Fire Order is not around, the Holy Fire should be respected. Now you know who you should listen to?"
"
The Golden Armor Army hesitated immediately. There was indeed such a provision in the canon, but the people in front of them had taken refuge in the enemy who had destroyed their family and country. If they listened to him, wouldn't it mean that they should take refuge in their own enemy?
"What nonsense are you talking to him about? If you don't take action now, why don't you wait!" Just when everyone hesitated, a cold voice came, and there was a Taoist nun in gray robes who was Murong Fu's sect.
Lin Chaoying came to monitor the Mingjiao army. After she finished speaking, her whole body surged with true energy, and she flew forward and stabbed Temujin with her sword.
The Imam waved his hands, and the golden flame in front of him was in a trance, and it hit Lin Chaoying first.
Lin Chaoying felt a wave of heat coming towards her face. The extreme heat made her cheeks burn. In the flash of lightning, she raised her sword to block it.
But what she didn't expect was that the long sword filled with true energy did not last for two breaths before turning into iron juice.
She was still dazed, and suddenly a strong force pushed her out. Assassin, covered in blue energy, stood in front of her, "This is the sacred fire of our religion, the sun is extremely hot, it melts gold and turns jade.
Burning mountains and boiling seas is not a problem, even iron cannot withstand it."
Lin Chaoying was stunned, but she also understood that in addition to the lack of weapons, another reason was that her skill was not as good as Imam, otherwise she would have been able to persist longer.
Of course, Assassin's skills are not as good as Imam's, but he possesses both yin and yang energy, and can restrain all yin and yang internal energy, and the Holy Fire is no exception.
In the blink of an eye, the two men exchanged hands, and everyone quickly lost sight of their moves. They could only see two shadows that separated and merged quickly, with red and blue lights intertwined together, as if they were equally matched.
"All armies listen to the order and destroy the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty!" Assassin's voice came out from the melee.
"How dare you!" Imam did not lag behind, "Khan, you go first, I will hold them back."
Lin Chaoying ignored the fight between the two men in the air. Seeing that the Mingjiao army around him had not moved, he couldn't help but cursed, "What are you doing standing still? Have you forgotten who pushed you to this point?"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd became excited and swarmed up, "Kill, kill, kill!"
The two armies exchanged blows in a flash. The number of cavalry led by Temujin was about 30,000 to 40,000, which was similar in number to the Mingjiao army. Although they were cavalry, they had been fighting fiercely all night, and by this time they were exhausted and their morale was low.
It was extremely low. Secondly, the terrain in the mountains was narrow and the cavalry could not move at all, so they were at a disadvantage as soon as the battle started.
Temujin was already protected by a large army. When a general saw that the situation was not going well, he immediately said, "Great Khan, the last general will lead his army to create an opening from the west. You lead your personal guards and flee first!"
"Hmph, I am galloping on the battlefield and conquering the world, how can I flee without fighting!" Temujin said angrily.
"The Great Khan!" the general said anxiously, "Someone, come and escort the Great Khan away!"
A group of guards immediately surrounded Temujin and moved to the west.
"What are you doing? You can't resist the decree!" Temujin was furious.
"Great Khan, although these rabble are no match for you, if the pursuers from behind catch up, your situation will be extremely dangerous. Great Khan, please put the country and the country first, and escape as soon as possible."
How could Temujin not know this truth, but he just couldn't get angry. These Mingjiao troops, who he had never paid attention to in the past, now forced him to flee.
, the feeling of being bullied by a dog when a tiger falls in peace.
The Mongolian cavalry violently attacked the Mingjiao army in the west like a madman. After a while, they tore a hole and Temujin fled in panic surrounded by his personal guards.
He didn't know how far he had fled. When he completely got rid of the Ming Cult army, there were only a few hundred personal guards left around him.
Temujin reined in his horse and stood. Looking back, he saw the smoke billowing in the mountains. Further away, Xiangyang City had become blurry.
"Father, are you okay?" Hua Zheng asked worriedly.
Temujin sighed, "I don't understand. The soldiers dared to use their lives, and the time and place were favorable. Where did I lose?"
"Father, don't worry about it, victory or defeat is..."
Before Hua Zheng finished speaking, Temujin shook his head, "No more. This defeat will never happen again. I'm really old..."
His expression gradually became dull, gloomy, and vicissitudes of life, as if he had aged dozens of years all of a sudden.
In other words, he is already very old and has just restored his original appearance. This is nothing more than the old age of a hero.
Outside Xiangyang City, Murong Fu finally let go of King Jinlun. This monk had some friendship with him. Now that Dayuan was defeated, Tantric Buddhism would not continue to support Dayuan. There was no difference between the two sides, so they could become friends.
At the same time, it also gave Lianhuasheng some face. The old monk kept his promise and said he would not interfere in the war here, so he really never interfered again. Otherwise, there would be no need for three transformation realms, only two would be enough to deal with him.
However, the Huo Gong Tutuo he wanted to kill was let go by Zhang Sanfeng. This incident made him deeply resentful of the old Taoist priest. However, the old Taoist promised that Wudang disciples would serve him in the future, so he finally gave up his resentment.
Of course, he also understood that the reason why Zhang Sanfeng made this decision was mainly because he had other thoughts after seeing Chi Xiao recognize his master with his own eyes.
In the evening, all the armies that had gone out to chase the Mongolian army came back, and the people in the city had received the news of the great victory. They all clapped their hands and celebrated, and all kinds of ultimatums spread from Xiangyang City like snowflakes.
Drive away.
The armies from all walks of life did not enter the city immediately until the next morning. Murong Fu ordered a grand victory ceremony. He, Deng Baichuan, Huo Qingtong and others led the armies from all walks of life into Xiangyang City and marched around the city as the people lined the streets to welcome them.
A circle, and the flags of the Tianshu Army and the Tianxuan Army were specially displayed, while the Song Army did not have any flags.
Originally, this was not custom-made, and Xiangjie could only be presented to the emperor. There was no ceremony for presenting victory, not to mention that he also banned the flag of the Song Dynasty. This was simply a rebellion. But now that Xiangyang City has won a victory, everyone is very happy.
, no one cares about these details, and even if they do, no one dares to say it, because he is the biggest in Xiangyang City.
In addition, the generals of several armies are all members of the Murong family, and martial arts figures from various sects, including Guo Jing, did not show up. This was also specially arranged by Murong Fu. He has done so many things. Now is the time to harvest the hearts and minds of the people and the military. How can he do this?
Others make wedding clothes.
"This kid is still so showy!" Lin Chaoying stood in the crowd in front of the General's Palace, looking at Murong Fu who was riding a tall horse and leading an army parade on the street, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
"Cousin, he is not a show-off. He does this with deep meaning." Wang Yuyan smiled sweetly, her face rosy, which showed that her injuries had recovered as before.
"Oh? What's his deep meaning?"
"Senior Lin wants to know? You might as well ask him yourself."
"It's okay not to say anything."
"Hehe, don't be angry, Senior Lin. It's not that I didn't tell you, but I don't understand my cousin's meaning either."
