Volume 1: Looking Northwest, Shooting the Heavenly Wolf Chapter 83: The Taoist from Yangguan in the West
"Good, very good!"
The special envoy of the Xianggong Mansion beat his hands, saying that the battle was much better than that of the Liquan Guards, and it was simply a devastating battle.
"General Zhong is indeed a well-trained border guard. His combat power is indeed far superior to that of Liquan Guard and Zehu Guard!"
"The special envoy stressed that the one who really played a big role was Chai Tiannuo. Without his fierce general, the fight would never have been so easy."
As he spoke, all the sword and shield men from the front palace had rushed to the top of the city. The three thousand from the middle palace drew back their bows and joined the three thousand from the rear palace who came quickly and dared to come. They were holding long spears and swords, ready to break the city!
Chai Tiannuo jumped down from the top of the city, facing the sword and spear that was reaching towards him, he waved his ring in a big circle, and the broken corpses instantly exploded and scattered all over the ground, shocking the soldiers of the royal court to retreat again and again.
"Unload three mountains!"
With one move, he demolished three mountains and smashed the thick bar wood. Then he used another move to shake the five mountains. The newly erected vermilion gate was blasted with a big gap!
"Broken city, broken city!"
Six thousand soldiers from the central and rear mansions roared in and quickly swept through Manzi Fort under the leadership of Chai Tiannuo.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, the general of the grassland royal court sighed and fled with the small centaur through the back gate to Suolong Pass. The vast area between the forts and passes was once again exposed to the eyes of the border guards.
After clearing out the remaining enemy soldiers, the sound of thousands of enemies resounded throughout the world. In this battle, Chaitino killed more than a thousand enemies, which was truly a thousand enemies!
Manzi Fort changed hands, and an hour later, more than 100,000 troops marched into the area in front of Suolong Pass and began to clean up the grassland tribes. The method implemented was Chaitino's scorched earth policy!
The red sun is about to set in the west, the southeastern part of Suolong Pass is covered with raging fire and black smoke, and there is not a single steppe Tatar left.
The corpses of the dead were burned, and the living left Suolong Pass crying. After this battle, the vitality of the tribe, which was the foundation of the three guards of Wang Ting, was severely damaged. It may take decades to rise again.
The originally low morale rose again. Under the night, the Liquan Guards and Zehu Guards, holding torches, were greatly boosted in morale and drove hundreds of thousands of livestock back to the northwest frontier.
When passing the city gate, all the soldiers shouted at Chai Tiannuo at the top of the city:
"A thousand enemies, a thousand enemies, Chai Dalang is mighty!"
As the night progressed, Chai Tiannuo stood at the top of the city, looking at Suolong Pass in the distance, but he still couldn't see the end of the passing queue.
"It's quite hard to fight in the daytime, why don't you go down and rest?"
Zhong Xingxin stood beside Chai Tiannuo with his hands behind his back and asked curiously.
"I want to hear their roars more, I'm so excited."
Chaitino grinned, and Zhong Xingxin couldn't help but pinch his forehead. What kind of character does Chaitino have? His temperament is too outrageous!
"General, are you going to use Manzi Fort?"
"Well, such an important place must be acquired. The craftsmen will be in place tonight to build a copper and iron wall here and become the northwest gate of the northwest border!"
"...Longsuo Pass?"
Chaitino frowned, Zhong Xingxin looked at him and smiled:
"You should be able to see this big battle before you leave."
"Victory, Suolong Pass returns, and the northwest has an iron wall again."
"In defeat, with Manzibao as our base, we still won't lose!"
Nodding, Chai Tiannuo showed a sincere smile. His trip to the northwest was well worth it. Even when he sees Uncle Cao and Uncle Li in the future, he can pat his chest and say, "I, Chai Dalang, have done my best for the northwest!"
"In the next few days, the government soldiers from Longshan Guard will also come over, and the rural soldiers from various prefectures in the northwest province will also gather. We will take this opportunity to take a closer look, and go back to Cao Fu and the others to say that everything is okay in the northwest."
Zhong Xingxin's voice was a little erratic, and Chaitino nodded slightly. Now is the calmest time before the war. Once the war breaks out, it will definitely shock the world.
"Taoist Priest, where are you going?"
After repeated inspections, an officer guarding the city confirmed that the ultimatum in his hand was genuine, but it was a little too dirty. Not only was it stained with ink, but it also smelled of roasted chicken. If it was not intact, it was used as a wrapping paper.
"Sir, summer is already late and autumn is approaching. Pindao and his disciples are preparing to go west to Yangguan to see the scenery beyond the Great Wall. Traveling all over the world is also part of our spiritual practice."
Taoist Qingfeng bowed his head, Taoist boy Mingyue bent down, and the soldiers guarding the city couldn't help grinning. They thought that they were dressed in such poor clothes. They wouldn't starve to death halfway there, right?
"Taoist Master, you must be careful. Beyond Yangguan is Daxia's territory. You also know our relationship with Daxia, so take care of yourself."
"Thank you, sir."
After leaving the city and walking another thirty miles, we saw the Xiongguan Pass in the west. Beyond there, we reached Yangguan Pass.
"The morning rain in Weicheng is lightly dusty, and the guest house is green and the willows are new. I urge you to drink another glass of wine. There will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west."
After clearing the customs, looking at the desolate land, Taoist Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh. He took a gourd from his arms and took two sips. The aroma of wine overflowed. It turned out to be good shochu.
"...Master, you are becoming more and more unreliable. You robbed someone of a room full of wine, and you had to run to this ungrateful place to hide. You can still look at the scenery outside the Great Wall. Aren't you afraid of starving me to death?!"
Mingyue said with a face full of resentment. Taoist Qingfeng ignored him, closed the lid of the wine gourd, frowned and looked into the distance, and said in a solemn voice:
"With corpses floating thousands of miles away, something big might happen."
The Mingyue Path boy was expecting to be ridiculed, but he suddenly smelled a strange smell in his nose. He hurriedly pointed his fingers to make plans, and finally said with a look of horror:
"My mother, who is inducing the great talisman of heaven and earth? Does this mean you don't want to live anymore?!"
Taoist Qingfeng shook his head as if he had toothache:
"It's not that I don't want to live. I'm afraid some forces are doing this deliberately and want to take advantage of the opportunity to achieve certain goals."
"...can they really control it by destroying the foundation of the world and opening a passage to the underworld?"
At this moment, Mingyue Taoist's face showed an indescribable solemnity, and the playful smile of the past disappeared without a trace.
"Hey, tell me what on earth these guys are doing, can't you let me have some leisure time?"
Taoist Qingfeng scratched his head helplessly, large pieces of dandruff fell in the wind, and he felt sick looking at the bright moon.
"Master, it's time for you to take a shower, as it's almost attracting maggots, okay?"
"You little brat, you know that what I fear most is water, but you still let me take a bath. Do you want me to die early?"
Staring fiercely at the Mingyue Taoist boy who had helplessly spread his hands, Taoist Qingfeng took out a piece of white paper from his arms with some heartache, raised his fingers and gestured for a long time, but finally stopped talking.
"bite!"
Reluctantly, he put his finger to his disciple's mouth, Taoist Qingfeng turned his head and closed his eyes.
Mingyue made a cut, and just as she was about to put her mouth down, she smelled a strong smell of putty, and couldn't help but spit it out with a vomiting sound.
"This is too tasty!"
After wiping her mouth, Mingyue found a sharp stone on the ground and swiped Taoist Qingfeng's fingertips hard. The blood flowed out and turned out to be black!
"My mother, even if she eats ten big cakes, she won't be able to make up for this loss!"
The white paper flew up in the air, Taoist Qingfeng used his finger as a pen to draw an outline on the paper, and a wooden door appeared in two or two strokes.
"Mingyue, where do you think we should open the hole?"
"No need to ask, it must be with the right person, so the mana consumption will be small!"
Taoist Qingfeng nodded, his bastard disciple was right, the smaller the mana consumption, the better, and he could save a few cooking cakes.
