It's not that there are no Maitreya believers who rose up to resist, it's just that the training levels and combat experience of both sides are not at the same level at all.
Each group of Maitreya believers who rushed forward could only add a trace of blood to Wu You's spear point. The several captains of the Zhenrong Army following Wu You were slashing with their spears and knives, resolutely not allowing anyone to cause any harm to Wu You.
The momentum of a pincer attack.
The other veterans of the Suppression Army who followed followed, with Wu You and several gang leaders as the vanguard, forming a sharp wedge as they galloped.
The high-speed moving horseshoes continuously amplify the attack power of the wedge formation.
A mere eighty-odd people, like a giant steel wedge, were constantly approaching the leader of the Maitreya Cult in red, getting closer and mercilessly crushing any obstacles they encountered along the way.
"Protect the Buddha, protect the Buddha!" The guardians and hall masters of the Maitreya Sect were so frightened by the sudden attack of the cavalry that they abandoned their respective tribes and desperately moved closer to the "Red Robe".
The red-robed man's surname is Ma and his given name is Qiushi. He is the biological son of Ma Guangde, the abbot of Wutai Mountain. He is also the spokesman for the Maitreya Sect in the Southern Liao Dynasty. (Note: In official history, the monks of Wutai Mountain have spied on military affairs for the Liao Kingdom many times.
.causing great losses to the Song army.)
If Ma Qiushi died in battle, the Maitreya Sect's "hundred-year-old cause" south of the Yellow River would suffer a heavy blow. The Liao Kingdom had promised glory and wealth, and these protectors and hall masters didn't know who to turn to to fulfill it.
.
Therefore, they could only save Ma Qiushi at any cost. As for the casualties of other Maitreya believers, compared with their glory and wealth, they are not worth mentioning.
"Woo--Woo-Woo--Woo," the horn sound was gentle and shrill, like the cry of a dying beast.
However, the Maitreya believers who kept shouting "kill the demons and eliminate the demons" heard the order to protect the "Son of the Buddha". Instead of trying to get closer to the red-robed Ma Qiushi, they slowed down their steps.
Most of them do not really believe in the reincarnation of Maitreya.
The vast majority of them join the Maitreya Cult because they want to use their power to bully others, protect themselves from being bullied by other believers, and prevent the police officers from taking advantage of the opportunity to extort money during lawsuits.
The vast majority of them were willing to follow "Buddha" to attack the water stronghold today because they heard that the officers and soldiers were vulnerable and the water stronghold was empty with few defenders.
But now, the vulnerable officers and soldiers were killed until they were unable to fight back. Hundreds of arrows were shot out of the empty water village.
They didn't turn around and run for their lives immediately because they thought that the Maitreya Sect had brought many benefits to everyone in the past.
How is it possible for them to risk their lives to resist the officers and soldiers and buy time for "Buddha" to "cast magic"?
"Follow me! Kill the general and seize the flag!" Fifty steps away from the red-robed Ma Qiushi and others, Wu dropped his spear that was too slippery to hold tightly, drew the knife in his hand, and pointed diagonally at the handsome flag of the Maitreya Cult.
The eighty-three veterans of the Suppression Army were less than one-thirtieth of the number of Maitreya believers. However, he firmly believed that he would win this battle without a doubt.
The Zhenrong Army was the only force among the 24 Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty that could fight head-on with Party Xiang Yaozi without falling behind.
Pride has long been engraved on the bones of every soldier.
Wu You and the old brothers around him did not change their true colors even after they came under Han Qing's command and each had official positions.
Today, since Han Qing has given them the task of "defending the water stronghold to prevent thieves from taking advantage of the situation", they must show their prestige.
Therefore, it was discovered that some Maitreya believers were taking advantage of Han Tixing's crossing of the river to rescue others to sneak attack on the water village. Wu You and others immediately began to form a team.
He did not lead any new soldiers. The new soldiers had not undergone strict training and could not cooperate with the tactics of the Suppressing Army. It was enough to stay behind the wall and shoot arrows.
This time, these old guys have to go back to their old business. Regardless of their current official positions, they will still form a team and obey the command of their original boss Wu Mata!
When Wu You was under Li Jihe, he was just a soldier and had never seriously learned how to command a battle. The only thing he was good at was rushing in front of the enemy general and hacking him to death with a single blow.
Today, the enemy and us were greatly outnumbered, so he instinctively adopted his favorite trick.
"Execute only the first culprit! If you don't want to die, get away!" Wu shouted as he swept away a wave of blood with his sword. He hit the horse's belly twice with both legs at the same time, squeezing the horse's speed to the limit.
"Only kill the first culprit, don't retreat if you don't want to die!" The veterans of the Zhenrong Army shouted in unison, each one seemed to have returned to his youth, intoxicated.
A group of bewildered Maitreya believers were all chopped down to the ground by the veterans of the Suppression Army in the blink of an eye. The war horses stepped on the corpses and continued to charge forward, with clouds of red mist rising under their hooves.
A group of Maitreya followers who were panicking appeared again in front of the war horses. Wu swung his sword and chopped down the man who looked like the leader among them. Other veterans of the Suppression Army quickly followed up, and the sword light caused a wave of blood.
The cavalry that rushes to speed are simply the nemesis of the infantry that is severely lacking in training.
Even if the latter can block the steel knife coming down from the top of their head, they can't block the horses' hooves that are stepping on them one after another. The cavalry on horseback only needs to swing the knife down, and with the running speed of the war horse, they can knock the gun barrel together with it.
The man holding the gun was cut into two parts.
Except for Wu You and several captains who rushed to the front to clear the way, most of the other veterans of the Suppression Army did not swing their swords to chop. Instead, they leaned over the neck of the horse, reached down diagonally with their arms, and turned their wrists.
, point the blade sideways to the front.
This is a more effective attack tactic. With the running speed of the war horse, the blades coming across are like huge flying scythes.
If any Maitreya believer is touched by the blade, a huge wound will be cut on his body immediately.
The wound was not deep, an inch at most, but in an instant, all the vitality and plasma of the injured person were drained. The injured person did not even have time to scream, and died with his eyes wide open.
"Protect me, protect me, I want to do it, I want to do it!" Unexpectedly, Han Qing left an elite force in the water village, and he did not expect that this elite force was actually a cavalry. Ma Qiushi, a disciple of the Maitreya Sect, was frightened.
He was so frightened that he turned pale and screamed while trying to move his body away from the cavalry's blades.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the cavalry that came out of the water village was getting closer and closer to him.
The veteran who led the team was like a pair of eagle eyes, always able to quickly find his position, then lead the cavalry to adjust the direction and launch a new round of attack.
"Protect me, protect me, I want to do it, I want to do it and kill him!" Ma Qiushi was about to cry but her voice had changed.
When he led a team to sneak attack on the water village before, he was worried that there were not enough people on his side. Now he turned to run for his life, and he realized that no matter which direction he ran, there were countless believers blocking him, and he couldn't push them away.
"Make way for the Buddha, make way for the Buddha!" The guardians and hall masters who rushed over to protect him were so anxious that they brandished their steel knives and slashed at the surrounding believers.
The bloody killing caused the chaos of the surrounding believers to quickly regain their consciousness, and they screamed and fled to the left and right.
Maitreya, who seemed to be the strongest, and the two guardians on the left and right took the opportunity to pick up one of Ma Qiushi's arms and pull him to speed up and run away.
"Spearmen, spearmen come and line up, there are not many officers and soldiers!" A church leader suddenly turned around, forced the believers with a steel knife, and formed a formation behind Ma Qiushi to block the cavalry. "As long as they slow down, we will
One bite from one person can kill them alive!"
The voice shouted loudly, but he himself continued to retreat quickly with his legs. All around, the Maitreya cultists who had not undergone a few days of training were unwilling to listen to his orders. One by one, they dodged to both sides at a faster speed, fearing that
He blocked the path of the cavalry and was trampled to pulp by the horses' hooves.
"Only kill the first culprit, leave the rest alone!" Wu You was riding on his horse, seeing the reaction of the Maitreya believers clearly, and immediately shouted again, waving the bloody steel knife.
He had been injured many times, and his face was covered with scars. He already looked quite ferocious. Now that he was covered in blood, he looked like an evil ghost who had just crawled out of hell.
The Maitreya believers could no longer shout out the four words "Destroy Demons and Eliminate Demons", so they spread their legs and tried their best to stay away from the "evil ghost"'s blade. In just a few snaps of their fingers, they were actually "killing demons".
A complete passage was opened between the "ghost" and his own "Buddha".
When light armored cavalry fights, what they fear most is losing speed. With a complete channel, victory is already close at hand!
It was too late, but soon, Wu suddenly pressed his body close to the horse's neck, and at the same time kicked the stirrup hard.
Dangxiang's bay-red horse brought back from Xixia cooperated with its owner tacitly, and immediately roared into the sky, "Sigh-"
The sun shines on the bodies of people and horses, casting huge shadows to the ground.
On the ground, all the Maitreya believers who were shrouded in shadow were so frightened that they dropped their weapons, held their heads in their hands, and did not dare to move their bodies any further.
Ma Qiushi, a disciple of the Buddha, talks about the boundless Dharma every day, but he never performs any serious magic. He only turns eggs into eggs in a bowl.
But the "evil ghost" was flying in the air, holding a bloody steel knife in his hand!
The stark contrast caused most of the Maitreya believers to lose the courage to resist. Those who had already fled tried their best to escape further, while those who had no time to escape simply dropped their weapons and begged for mercy.
Only a few dozen fanatic believers chose to resist to the end when they were desperate.
However, they did not even touch Wuyou's weapons, and watched helplessly as the bay-red horse soared into the air again and leaped over their heads. Following closely, more veterans of the Suppression Army rushed over on their war horses, and they
They were submerged in the sword light.
"Protect the Buddha!" Two guardians and a hall leader stopped running for their lives, holding up their spears and trying to stop the maroon horse from falling to the ground again.
Their courage is very commendable, but how can a mere three brave men stop the cavalry that has already reached speed?
Wu Mata just flicked the horse's neck to dodge the first spear that was thrust towards him. Immediately, the steel knife swept across with the speed of the horse, sweeping the gunman's arm and the gun shaft into the air.
"Shop--" The red horse roared and lifted the forefoot, kicked the other Maitreya teaching method.
The third stubborn resister quickly lost his courage and turned around, dragging his spear and running for his life. Wu Mata didn't even have the mood to look at him. He rode his horse and brandished his knife, and chased after the Maitreya Buddha again. The smile on his face was so disdainful!
"Don't kill me, don't kill me. I am a Buddhist disciple. I know all the secrets of the Maitreya Sect. I can make meritorious deeds!" Hearing the sound of horse hooves coming from behind him getting closer and closer, Ma Qiushi, a Buddhist disciple in red, suddenly broke away.
Pulled by the two guardians, he first stepped half a foot away horizontally, then quickly turned around, raised his hands and shouted.
This action was beyond everyone's expectations. Wu You, who was chasing after him on horseback, was slightly startled. The knife he raised in mid-air could not be cut immediately. He was carried by his mount and passed by Ma Qiushi.
The two guardians of the Maitreya Cult who had previously tried their best to save Ma Qiushi's life, both had their eyes widened and were heartbroken.
The next moment, they uttered a loud curse at the same time, turned around, and ran away in separate directions.
It's simply too late.
Although Wu You had already left them behind, the captains of the Zhenrong Army who followed him did not miss them.
With a slight flick of the horse's head, the two team leaders left the team and chased the left and right guardians of the Maitreya Cult. Immediately, the steel knife swept down with the sound of wind, sweeping the two men from behind into rolling gourds.
Where the steel knife was swept, the bloody wound was a foot and a half long. The bodies of the Maitreya Cult protectors were tumbling, spurting out a large amount of blood, and soon they were lying motionless in a pool of blood.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Ma Qiushi, the Buddhist disciple in red, was so frightened that his face turned pale, he knelt down straight on the ground, held his head in his hands and continued to beg for mercy loudly.
The veterans of the Suppression Army who rushed over one after another put away their knives with disdain and surrounded him with their horses.
All around, none of the other Maitreya Cult protectors and hall masters had the courage to save their own "Buddha". They took advantage of the fact that the veterans of the Suppression Army were patronizing the captive Ma Qiushi and had no time to continue chasing the others, and tore off the hair on their heads.
Bai Bu dropped his weapons and ran straight to the sorghum field not far from the river.
"Xu Le, Wang Shuang, you two and your brothers, continue to hunt down the Maitreya believers to prevent them from getting together again and resurgence!" Wu Zai was eighty steps away, turning his horse back, not looking at the people who were surrounded by the crowd.
"Buddha" immediately adjusted his tactics.
The warships that crossed the river to rescue people have not yet returned to the water village. Although the leader of the Maitreya cultists was captured, they still have the upper hand.
At this time, you must not take it lightly. Only by continuing to pursue death and chasing north without giving the Maitreya cultists time to regroup can they completely seal the victory.
"Yes!" The two old gang leaders who had been ordered to general agreed and led the veterans to launch a new round of pursuit of the Maitreya cultists.
As soon as they see believers starting to gather, they will rush over with their horses and crush them directly, regardless of the purpose of their gathering, whether they want to return home together or whether they are dying to fight back.
Wu You himself rode up to the Maitreya Buddhist disciple Ma Qiushi, who was paralyzed with fear. He leaned forward and put the steel knife on the man's head. "Stand up, go to the river bank and tell the Khitan people that you have failed."
Come on. Let them stop daydreaming!"
"Don't, don't kill me, don't kill me, I can take the blame, ah..." Ma Qiushi was so frightened that she repeatedly begged for mercy, unable to hear what Wu You was saying. Until Wu turned the blade sideways again and slapped her hard with the side of the knife.
He gave him a big mouthful, and then he screamed and stopped begging.
"Go to the river, don't play tricks, tell the Khitans that you have been completely defeated!" Wu You simply jumped off the bay red horse, rubbed Ma Qiushi's neck with the blade, and ordered again.
"Go to the river, or I will chop you into pieces!" The four veterans of the Zhenrong Army who stayed to protect Wu You also got off their horses, instantly blocking Ma Qiushi's possibility of escaping.
"Hey, hey, I know, I'm going now, I'm going right now!" Ma Qiushi was so frightened that her whole body became weak, and she had no strength to run away. She raised her hand to cover her swollen mouth, and responded while slowing down.
He stood up slowly and staggered towards the river bank. With every step he took, there was dripping urine, slowly splashing down his trouser legs!
