The people with giant wooden flags appear and disappear among the mountains of Qingxi Cave, just like birds flying into the blue sky and fish flying into the sea.
What made Zongze even more depressed was that there were still four bannermen who did not show up.
Threads of water mist entwine under each giant tree, connecting them one by one, shrouding the endless mountains in thick white mist.
The dull sound of drums sounded in the fog, and the dense phalanx of Song soldiers and their forest of spears could be vaguely seen.
In the sky, a sword appeared, emitting a faint light.
Fang La appeared on a mountain peak, where he could overlook the entire battlefield. He wore a purple-gold handsome crown on his head and a black cloak behind his shoulders, and his aura was as calm as an abyss.
Behind him are a group of masters, waiting to fight.
It has to be said that Mingjiao has now reached a small peak, and there are many talents in the religion.
Thanks to Zhao Ji and Cai Jing, this made people angry and angry, and countless capable people who could not understand the Song Dynasty court defected to Fang La's command.
Fang La also has a strong personal charm. The Ming Cult he founded has attracted many believers and accumulated tremendous mental power.
Those who dare to create their own sect and compete with gods and Buddhas all over the world for followers are not ordinary people.
"This group of Song soldiers is much more powerful than what I have encountered before." Fang La said with a smile: "It's a pity that they don't know where Qingxi Cave is, and they are so arrogant that they enter Qingxi Cave to fight me."
His eyes were very sharp, seeing through the thick fog and staring directly at Yue Fei.
"Is this the person who killed my brother Shi Bao?"
Yue Fei seemed to have noticed something, and looked towards Fang La. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, far apart.
"Sure enough." Fang La said with a smile, "There are actually such people in the Song Army. Sure enough, we can never underestimate the world's heroes."
Deng Yuanjue held up his Zen staff and said, "I'm going to kill him and avenge Shi Bao."
Fang La stretched out his hand to stop him, "Let Zhu Gaoxu fight first, and wait until he hands over his name."
Others understood that this was King Ming trying to save face for Deng Yuanjue. He couldn't even defeat Shi Bao, so how could he kill Shi Bao's enemy?
You must know that Shi Bao was killed in a fight before the battle. He was totally lacking in strength and had no excuse.
There seem to be countless Mingjiao believers in Qingxi Cave. They appear and disappear, they are not afraid of death, and their formations are exquisite.
The Song army was gradually at a disadvantage, and everyone knew that if they continued to fight like this, the whole army would only be wiped out.
For the first time, this immobile general showed an agitated expression. He gently stroked the leather armor on his wrist and sighed in a low voice: "It's a pity that I, Zongze, am short of intelligence and cannot turn the tide. I can only die if I die."
Newspaper Sheji."
As he spoke, Zongze straightened his back, raised his right hand flat across his chest, and said in a loud voice: "Yue Fei, take this person out."
Yue Fei looked at Zong Shuai with a trace of reluctance in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He took a deep look at Zongze and nodded heavily.
Now is not the time to blindly focus on friendship. Both Zongze and Yue Fei see things more clearly than others.
The one who can save the Song Dynasty is Yue Fei. Those who go out will definitely carry a heavy burden and move forward.
I don't know how many hardships and hardships are waiting for him to overcome the thorns and get out of the gloom.
"Everyone, follow me and retreat!"——
"The Western Army goes south?"
Li Yu took a breath and said, "Who gave the order?"
"Who else is there? It must be Cai Jing."
Li Yu was silent for a long time, and Lin Lingsu smiled and said: "The Western Army is just going south, why are you so nervous?"
"The old thief is going to make Da Song miserable."
Xue Baoqin below has taken the Foundation Building Pill and is meditating to adapt to the changes in her body.
She is very lucky to have started practicing cultivation at such a young age.
Zhao Fujin was beside her, looking at his little sister curiously.
Suddenly, her brother Li Yu stood up and looked very unhappy.
Li Yu walked out of the alchemy room, and a disciple from Shenxiao Palace flew towards him. From a distance, he saw Li Yu saying urgently: "Uncle, a serious master."
Li Yu recognized him. He was Cao Xiyun, whom he had a close relationship with in Yue Fei's army.
"Why are you so alarmed?"
After Cao Xiyun landed, he said: "Mingjiao Fangla defeated General Zongze in Qingxi Cave. Now the Song army has withdrawn from Qingxi Cave and lost most of its troops."
Li Yu closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. What kind of place is Qingxi Cave? Fighting the Mingjiao there would be a life-and-death struggle.
How could Zongze make such a mistake?
But when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly understood that Zongze might have seen the situation in the north as clearly as he did.
If he didn't enter Qingxi Cave rashly, would he stay there and watch countless people in Jiangnan being persecuted by Hua Shigang and turning to Mingjiao?
In addition, powerful enemies from the north are eyeing the country and may move south at any time, making it even more of a serious concern for the Central Plains.
If he didn't fight hard, this chance might be gone, so he chose to risk his life.
Unfortunately, the success fell short.
Once you enter Qingxi Cave, you will see that Mingjiao has taken advantage of all the favorable locations and people, and you can win with your eyes closed.
"Did any general die in battle?"
With tears in Cao Xiyun's eyes, he said: "General Zong insists on being behind the throne and wants Yue Fei and Han Shizhong to take the troops out, himself."
Li Yu tilted his head, his face was a little painful, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.
At this time, another person came from the bottom of the mountain. He was panting and looked anxious.
After seeing Li Yu, the visitor shouted loudly: "Headmaster, something bad has happened!"
"What's the matter?"
"The Ligustrum Tartars tore up their covenant and headed south from Youyan to the Central Plains."
Privet defeated the Khitan and occupied Youyan. In front of them, the Central Plains was a smooth road.
It takes three days to reach Kaifeng Prefecture by horseback. The only place on the road that has the strength to resist is the military town of Daming Prefecture.
Daming Mansion had just been broken down by the Liangshan bandits, and its commander died. The two lieutenants, Da Dao Wenda and King Li Cheng, were treated as scapegoats and were still on their way to Bianliang.
The Western Army is rushing to Jiangnan Road at this moment. Zongze has been newly defeated and Fang La is very arrogant. It is very likely that he will break out of Qingxi Cave.
The land of the Song Dynasty is already filled with smoke and is in danger.
Li Yu glanced at the alchemy room behind him, and Lin Lingsu also walked out, frowning and saying: "Why did it decay so quickly?"
"The Song Dynasty is like a tall building that has been hollowed out. The taller and bigger it is, the faster it collapses." Li Yu said: "Our plan must be advanced. Cai Jing did not give us much time."
Lin Lingsu didn't care at all. He chuckled and said, "It's always a good thing to be early. After we succeed, what strategies do you have to save the situation?"
"At this point, the situation cannot be restored by tactics. We can only gather all the combat power and use the victory of the war to overcome it."
There was a fierce look in Li Yu's eyes, which was completely different from his usual lazy look, as if he was a different person.
