"Xiaoyang, you have to stay calm when encountering big things."
"Don't be nervous. Explain everything clearly."
Chu Qianqiu said with a slight frown.
This time, he asked Yang Guang to dispatch the troops of the Li camp, led by Xu Zishuang, to encircle and suppress Xiangshan Temple. This was not only to deal with the Hehuan Sect, but also to give the guards a chance to train and improve them in actual combat, so as to reward armaments.
Who would have thought that such a small battle would cost Chu Qianqiu's old subordinates? This is simply unacceptable.
"Could it be that there are martial arts masters in this Xiangshan Temple?"
Yang Guang shook his head quickly and continued:
"Sir, this is what happened."
"We came to Taocheng yesterday and announced that we were going to conduct a marching drill and asked the local government to cooperate to collect evidence of crimes against Xiangshan Temple."
"Let Xiangshan Temple mistakenly think that we are just greedy and cunning to hide the truth."
"Strive to annihilate Xiangshan Temple without spending a single soldier."
Yang Guang and Xu Zishuang are not fools. They discussed the plan on the road and prepared to pretend to be greedy military officers, go to Xiangshan Temple to ask for bribes, and rely on their official identities to suppress them.
They want to create a misunderstanding to make the monks of Xiangshan Temple become careless and think that they are not here for Xiangshan Temple. It is best to let them bribe and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
This is hiding something from the sky.
However, Xiangshan Temple was obviously not a fool. They seemed to have received the news in advance and actually took advantage of the plan. They even sent a few traitors to pretend to welcome Yang Guang. After accepting Yang Guang's request to visit, they went out to greet him.
As a result, before the Li battalion took action, the opponent made a surprise attack first, and everyone was fully armed.
Although relying on their strength advantage, the Li camp finally suppressed the attack on Xiangshan Temple, the losses were inevitable.
"The monks in Xiangshan Temple basically practice the "Supreme Powerful Pestle", while the innate masters practice the "All Buddhas, Dragons and Elephants Sutra", which is a first-class magical skill in battlefield killing."
"And each of them is wearing heavy armor and is good at charging into battle."
"Not only that, the Xiangshan Temple actually hid the Dragon Prison Lock and the Army-breaking Crossbow. Sister Xu was unfortunately shot during the attack and could not be reinforced in a short time."
"I was waiting. I was not careful and lost more than 200 men."
"In order to save Huang Yun, Mr. Gao Qian resisted three innate masters by himself and died unfortunately."
Yang Guang said with great shame.
This time the Li battalion dispatched nearly ten thousand people, as well as martial arts masters, to encircle and suppress Xiangshan Temple with only 500 people, but they lost so many people.
Even if he captured Xiangshan Temple, he would not have the shame to say victory.
"Confused!"
"Xiangshan Temple is the place where the Hehuan Sect keeps soldiers in captivity, and they are extremely vigilant."
"Even if Xiangshan Temple is disguised on weekdays, how could they take it lightly now that they have seen the large force of the Li camp?"
Chu Qianqiu scolded, and he finally understood the whole story.
This is a problem of poor information.
Xu Zishuang and others felt that they had arrived very quickly and Xiangshan Temple might not be ready, so they might as well lie to him.
If it succeeds, it will be able to capture Xiangshan Temple without any damage, which will become an achievement worth bragging about.
However, Chu Qianqiu discovered that Zen Master Buye could convey instructions to his subordinates through Buddha statues or the [Great Sun Tathagata Jade Talisman], so it is very likely that Xiangshan Temple had received the news in advance and launched a strong resistance.
"You asked Xu Zishuang to come back and report first. I need a complete summary of the situation. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir."

"Please, my lord, punish me."
Xu Zishuang's face was still stained with blood, and her body exuded a strong murderous aura. Apparently, many bald donkeys died in her hands during the battle at Xiangshan Temple.
But she still felt very ashamed.
"There is no need for punishment. Whoever goes to the battlefield for the first time always looks like this."
"Xiangshan Temple has one mid-stage Xiantian, one early-stage Xiantian, six beginners, and several other Qi-accumulating masters."
"They built forts and had ordnance."
"If it weren't for you to hold the battle, I would really be a tough guy."
Although the Li camp has nearly doubled in number of troops, the troops sent over from Yunzhou are still mainly in the Qi accumulation stage, and are rare treasures for new Xiantian warriors.
The quality of Chu Qianqiu's personal guards is still too low, and the strongest Yang Guang is only at the level of mid-level Xiantian.
If he insists on cultivating himself, it will take a long time.
The overall strength of Xiangshan Temple is not weaker than that of Yuanyang Sect and Fahua Temple.
Among the local tycoons, he can be regarded as having a strong army and horses. If he expands his army and attacks everywhere, he can still corrupt the place and become a roundworm for the Jingang Temple to infiltrate Lingzhou and cause trouble for him.
If Xu Zishuang hadn't been there to control the battle, and if they actually had weapons, this battle would have resulted in thousands of casualties.
Of course, this also shows that Chu Qianqiu's power is extraordinary. A place like Xiangshan Temple is so powerful that he can erase it as soon as he says it, without even having to do it himself.
"Please punish me, my lord." Xu Zishuang didn't seem to hear Chu Qianqiu's words, but still asked for punishment.
It seems that only in this way can the guilt in my heart be relieved.
"Then let me ask you a few things."
"Yes, lord."
"How many people have you killed?" Chu Qianqiu did not blame Xu Zishuang but asked very gently.
"One hundred and fifteen." After all, Xu Zishuang is a master of martial arts. He was caught off guard at first and had people put on the prison dragon lock. However, there were no strong people in the innate extreme realm among them, and there were no treasure soldiers to suppress them. Naturally, they couldn't deal with them.
Saints of the School of Goodness.
Once she is freed from the restraints, it will be a killing scene.
"What do you feel?"
Xu Zishuang suddenly blushed, lowered her head, and said with some shame:
"Very, very happy."
Some people are born for the battlefield, and she will cheer for the smell of blood and the brutality of the battlefield.
Chu Qianqiu finally realized that the eldest daughter of the Xu family was indeed the queen of the generals. After tasting the battlefield for the first time, she became a little obsessed.
Xu Zishuang asked to punish herself because she was afraid of this feeling.
"If you were asked to fight again, what would you do?"
"First use crossbows to suppress the enemy's formation to prevent the enemy from getting close. After destroying the enemy's arrows and their ability to escape, soldiers with armor-breaking characteristics can advance first, instead of warriors who practice "War Gu**".
"
"Most of the warriors at Vajra Temple practice the Supreme Powerful Pestle or the Buddhas, Dragons and Elephants Sutra. They wear heavy armor weighing hundreds of kilograms during battles and run rampant."
"Please check it, my lord."
Xu Zishuang said this and took off the special armor made by Xiangshan Temple from his back.
This armor looked very rough, incomparable to the Qing Lei Jade Clothes and Black Iron Battle Clothes that Chu Qianqiu had used in the past.
The only advantage is that it is made of rich materials. Even if Chu Qianqiu is a strong man at the peak of martial arts, it still feels a bit heavy in his hand.
Just this piece of iron armor can crush an ordinary soldier to death.
"The fighting method of the Vajra Temple is really simple and crude." Chu Qianqiu thought of the several rounds of battles he had with the disciples of the Vajra Temple. They were indeed very suitable for this style of fighting.
When you go to Fengzhou, you must also be prepared accordingly.
"Purple frost."
"My subordinate is here."
"You don't want me to punish you."
"Yes, please punish me, my lord."
"Then I'll punish you by recording all the mistakes and lessons learned this time."
"I will let you fight again, and you must win completely next time."
Chu Qianqiu didn't want his personal guards to lose too many people before they even started.
