Luodu of the Jin Kingdom is located on the south bank of the Rui River. After 120 years of continuous reinforcement, the city wall has become towering and upright over the years, like a palace standing in the world. However, the emperor Gongsun who was in the 95th year recently
Yi died inexplicably in the palace. The royal family, Prince Qing, Gongsun Li, ordered 27,000 soldiers and horses from Qingzhou to rush to Luozhou overnight.
Before he could reach the capital, he received news that another brother, Gongsun Lun, had ascended the throne. He originally wanted to take advantage of the opponent's unstable foundation and rush into Luodu in the name of King Qin, but before he could make arrangements, the northern Yuejie sent 50,000 cavalrymen and 70,000 cavalrymen.
The infantry captured Dingzhou and turned around to approach Qizhou.
Under the crisis of losing his family and country, King Qing had no choice but to accept the new emperor's order, cross the Rui River with the other imperial brothers who arrived, set up a defense line on the north bank, and start a half-month confrontation with the Yuejie people.
However, new news came that Yuejie had sent 30,000 cavalry across Qizhou, crossed the river directly at the lower reaches of the Rui River, and took a roundabout way to go straight to Luodu.
The news reached the capital, and the government and the public were immediately shocked. The people in the city were panicked. Luodu currently only had more than 20,000 troops, most of which were infantry. If the city was defended, it would not fall. But if this happened, the Jin army north of Ruihe River would not fall.
The army will lose its logistical supplies.
Ninety thousand soldiers and horses consume countless amounts of food in one day, and the local towns cannot support them.
After the civil and military discussions between the DPRK and China, the new emperor used his seal and sent fast horses to the land of Lianglong, hoping to mobilize some soldiers and horses from there. After all, the capital was important, and the land of Lianglong was occupied by the Jubei people.
The situation is stable, just take it back.
On the other hand, Sima Ying, the right general, was granted the title of Grand Governor of Gyeonggi Province. He led his five thousand plus ten thousand holy troops to meet the enemy. He did not care about defeating the enemy. He only wanted to delay the advance of the Yuejie people crossing the river and defend the south bank of the Rui River.
, waiting for the reinforcements from Lianglong troops.
Fifteen thousand delayed 30,000 cavalry, still in the Guanzhong Plain, Sima Ying, the temporary governor, was ready to scold his mother.
In the past few days, they have continuously sent out scouting horses and carried out harassment strategies with small groups of troops. However, the other party had the idea of attacking Luodu and ignored the harassment of the small Jin army.
Advance at a fast pace.
On the seventh day now, the Yuejie cavalry has arrived in the northwest of Hezhou, only four hundred miles away from Luodu. The enemy has even divided into several groups and entered the hinterland of Hezhou.
The battle reports that kept coming in were delivered to Sima Ying like snowflakes. These barbarian cavalry did not attack the city, but just massacred villages and fortified villages as much as possible.
"These Yuejie people are killing people like this, just to stop us from recruiting troops from the people."
In the big tent, Sima Ying, with a golden armor and sword, had a straight face, stroking a short beard on his chin, looking straight at the marching routes of several enemy cavalry on the map, "The only current plan is to strengthen the path to Luodu."
For the main road, build an urn city here."
A general in the tent shook his head and said:
"The time is too short. Even if we recruit young and strong laborers, it is impossible to build a city in a few days."
Sima Ying pursed his lips and couldn't help but look at the figure wearing Taoist robes on one side.
"Taoist Master Qingxu, if he wants to build a city, does your sect have any magic skills to help him?"
All the generals in the tent followed the gaze of the Grand Governor and looked at a person sitting in the corner. The man was wearing a blue Taoist priest's robe, with a straight open skirt, wide sleeves that were turned in, reaching his legs and wrists, and his face was slightly thin.
But the long beard and thick beard show a heroic spirit.
The generals naturally knew each other. The Taoist priest named Qingxu was one of the several Taoist priests who came to Luodu from the Tianshi Mansion. It was said that he was also one of the supervisors of the Tianshi Mansion. He was now being followed out of the city by the army.
It was also used to prevent Yuejie from attacking the priests in the army.
Qingxu thought carefully and sighed.
"Building a city out of thin air is not easy. But it is not impossible. If you invite several other brothers from Luodu to cast spells and use local materials, you can build a simple city. I am afraid that it will consume too much mana and Yue Jie
If the barbarian priests appear, we may not be able to cope with them if we don’t have enough magic power."
"Report!"
While he was talking, the words of the messenger suddenly came from outside the tent, and the latter quickly stepped into the tent: "Inform the Governor, the scouts sent have returned to the camp, it is just an investigation..."
Sima Ying couldn't help but frowned when he heard his tone.
"how?"
"The news is a bit strange. Thousands of Yuejie cavalry were found in Huangni Town, but when our people got there...the barbarians were all dead."
"died?"
Not only did Sima Ying stand up in shock, but all the generals in the tent looked incredulous. Someone hurriedly said: "Go and call a scout."
After the messenger left, there was a sudden commotion in the tent. Killing all the thousands of cavalry was almost impossible, except in a narrow valley, but here there is almost a flat plain, with a few hills at most. Even if the opponent encounters a large force,
Enemies can also use their horses to quickly escape from the battlefield.
The Taoist priest Qingxu on the side closed his eyes and said nothing. He didn't understand the matters on the battlefield, so he didn't get involved.
A moment later, there were footsteps approaching. The scout who came was someone who had been to Huangni Town. As soon as he entered the tent, he knelt down with his fists clasped in his hands.
"I pay my respects to the Grand Governor and generals!"
Sima Ying walked back and forth with his hands behind his back and glanced at him: "Tell the whole story without leaving out any details."
As a scout, it was my duty to report back the news, so I told them exactly what I saw after arriving in the town. When the generals heard that there were many decapitated corpses in the Yuejie camp, they all looked at each other in shock. On the battlefield,
Who has time to just chop off heads?
But when the scout told them that they had followed the horse hoof prints out of the camp to the northwest wilderness, and that all the Yuejie barbarians who had escaped from the camp were turned into white bones, there was a sound of breathing in the tent, and they couldn't help but look at the Taoist priest Qingxu.
The latter slowly opened his eyes and his voice was calm.
"Are the armors on those bones intact? The decapitated corpses, and the wounds are all smooth?"
"The clothes and armor of the Yuejie people in the wilderness were intact, and not even a piece of cloth was torn. As for the Hu people in the camp, I looked at them carefully and found that their wounds were extremely smooth, even sharper than those of the executioners on the execution ground."
"Well, you can go down now."
Qingxu nodded and asked the scout to exit the tent. Sima Ying, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but look at him: "Taoist Priest, do you have any clues?"
The Taoist priest nodded again and said softly: "Those Yuejie people died of evil spells. The white bones in the field should be the black insect curse, which is an extremely cruel form of heresy. It may not be very effective against those who practice Taoism, but it can be used against ordinary people."
Human beings are just a massacre. As for the art of decapitation, I dare not speak nonsense. There are many kinds of side arts, or there may only be a few."
"It doesn't matter whether he is a side sect or not, as long as he can kill Yuejie people." Sima Ying felt relieved in his heart. Without five thousand Yuejie cavalry, the pressure on him was reduced a bit, and he clapped his hands quite excitedly.
Thigh: "If that man wants to kill a barbarian, I can help him... Uh, Taoist Priest, why are you a little unhappy?"
"The poor Taoist is not displeased, but worried. Governor, don't be happy too soon. That person's behavior is vicious, harmful to the world, and extremely detrimental to spiritual practice. Even famous figures in ordinary evil cultivators will not be like him.
Such wanton manipulation of the law is really strange."
Sima Ying narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The Taoist Master is overly worried. What if he comes just to kill Hu?"
"Captain Wu Chu, you are not a cultivator, so you don't know the details." Qingxu saw that he was a little unhappy, smiled, and stood up: "The energy in the world has its own scales to balance it. Once it is out of balance, it will be detrimental to the world.
Yes, this is why everyone from the Tianshi Mansion went down to help the court deal with the priests in the Yuejie army.
And if this person kills like this, the more evil obstacles he will bear, and the entanglement of cause and effect will breed inner demons. Once he becomes possessed by demons, the consequences will be evil, and it will be even more detrimental to the people in the world."
"Then what should the Taoist priest do?"
"I don't know, what he is doing now is a good deed for the country, and I can only persuade him a little."
Qingxu cupped his hands, clasped his fists towards the general in the tent, and walked out of the tent with his sleeves clasped behind his back. Sima Ying looked at the departing figure, suddenly chuckled, sat down behind the desk, and thought about the scout report
message.
"Kill all five thousand people if you tell them to kill them all... Tsk, tsk, what a ruthless person."
…
The sun rises above the clouds, the sky is green, and the person Sima Ying talks about is looking at the Taotao Rui River. The rushing water waves roll up the water vapor and hit his face with a cold feeling.
Chen Yuan walked with the little girl for a day and finally arrived at the South Bank.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" The little girl was a little cold due to the river wind. She looked at the rolling waves under the high river, and her face turned pale with fright.
Chen Yuan glanced around, listened to the girl's words, and said with a smile: "Of course I will find an opportunity to complete your deal in one go."
Under the cuffs, his hands held tightly, and the feeling of thirst for blood came again.
