"What's going on? Where did they get the reinforcements?"
"Oops, it's not like we were ambushed, right?"
"The enemy's situation is unknown, retreat!"
"Withdraw! After the Ruijin flag and the giant wooden flag are broken, the five scattered people suppress the masters of the six major sects. The remaining people retreat quickly!"
The army that rushed out rashly made the Five Elements Banners dare not pursue rashly anymore, so they decided to stop as soon as possible and retreat.
They were very disciplined and immediately switched from attack to defense and then to retreat at the first order.
Although Master Miejie and others fought hard to kill the enemy, they did not deliberately pursue them. Soon the large force of Five Elements Banner was completely withdrawn.
The Ruijin Banner and the Giant Wooden Banner behind the palace also began to evacuate in an orderly manner. It was only then that the "big armies" from both sides came over.
Only then did the heroes see clearly. What kind of army was there? It was hundreds of Poyang gang members holding weapons and deliberately stirring up a lot of dust. They lined up in a row and shouted loudly, pretending to be a large crowd.
"Amitabha, it's true that soldiers never tire of deceit!" Kong Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "This donor Xu is really like a god in using soldiers. He used a little trick to defeat the powerful enemy. If it hadn't been for him, we would have suffered greater losses today.
"
The other masters nodded in unison, feeling relieved.
The sudden outbreak of the war almost caused the six major sects to sink into the sand, and they died before they even got out of the battle.
Xu Da came just in time!
Everyone's face showed the relaxation and joy of remaining in the battle, and some were crying bitterly over the death of their fellow disciples.
Only Song Qingshu's face was particularly gloomy.
Not only did he not show his face in this battle, he actually exposed his butt.
Also, Xu Da came to the rescue. Doesn’t this mean that Xu Da has no problem at all?
Who has the problem?
Master Miejie glanced around for a week, but Xu Da and Hua Yun were nowhere to be seen. Just when he was about to ask a question, he saw a man coming forward. He first defeated Zong Weixia and others from the Kongtong sect, and then bowed to him and said: "Junior Liu Zhenbiao
, see Master Jiejie! My general took Vice Admiral Hua to ambush the enemy. He said that if he let the enemy go like this, he was afraid that the enemy would react soon. Instead, he would have to kill him for a while before they could run away.
It’s faster and you’ll be safe for a while.”
Xu Da's performance also made Master Miejie's face glow. She nodded and said: "I don't understand the matter of war. General Xu will make the decision in everything."
This was the first time she called Xu Da General Xu, and she obviously fully recognized this person.
The six major factions began to lighten their losses and clean up the battle. Each faction suffered more than ten or even dozens of injuries. A total of nearly one hundred and fifty people from the six major factions died in this battle, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
.
Only then did the heroes deeply feel the cruelty and pain of the war, and everyone on the scene cried bitterly. The leaders of each faction were busy collecting the bodies of the disciples who died in the battle, and healing the injured.
Liu Zhenbiao, on the other hand, took his men and patrolled around spontaneously to prevent the enemy from returning.
Soon, Xu Da and the others returned with their troops and brought back more than twenty prisoners.
Master Miejie and the heads of various factions personally greeted him and expressed their gratitude to Xu Da.
Xu Da behaved neither humble nor arrogant, which made everyone admire him even more.
"Everyone, after this battle, we should understand that there is a reason to specialize in the arts!" Master Miejie looked around and took the opportunity to say, "We are not good at leading troops in battles. Song Qingshu also betrayed our trust. It is really unbearable...
"
These words were a bit harsh, making Song Qing blush and bow her head in shame.
The faces of everyone in Wudang were not good-looking, but they all saw Song Qingshu's performance in the battle just now. Let alone success, it was not even qualified. At this moment, their faces were burning, and they were filled with shame.
"On the other hand, General Xu turned the tide and saved us, and also captured the demon sect's flag bearer. With such ability, do we still need to hesitate?" Master Miejie asked in a serious tone.
"Amitabha, Shaolin has no objection!" Kong Zhi took the lead in expressing his stance.
"We have no objection either!"
"agreed, agreed!"
"General Xu uses his troops like a god, I totally agree!"
All factions responded one after another, and even Song Yuanqiao said "agree" with a solemn expression.
As the saying goes, Xu Da was a subordinate of the Demon Sect before, and was not recognized and trusted by everyone, and it was not good-looking to have him command the six major sects.
But now, Xu Da has passed the test of this war and has become one of his own. The six major factions also understand that war is not a child's play, and naturally become pragmatic.
"General Xu, as the saying goes, good talents are put to good use, and those who are capable will live there!" A smile appeared in the corner of Miejie Shitai's eyes, and she looked at Xu Da, "If we encounter the enemy again, you can give full command, and we will not disobey you!"
"Not bad, not bad!" All the heroes agreed.
Xu Da was slightly silent.
In fact, he didn't want to accept this hot potato, but it would be bad if he refused now.
"In this case, Xu is ashamed of himself!" He said with a solemn face and fisted at everyone, "Don't worry, Xu will do his best."
Master Miejie said: "We also captured some people from the Five Elements Banner, and some who did not escape after being injured, almost a hundred of them. General Xu, these people have been handed over to you. I hope you can persuade them to surrender and let them change their ways."
"Master, don't worry, I will try my best." Xu Da nodded.
To him, this is business.
Master Miejie glanced at Song Qingshu and said indifferently: "Master Song, is it time for you to give me an explanation about Master Ling's matter?"
Song Yuanqiao had already expected that Master Miejie's character would never give up, and he had already prepared a plan to deal with this matter.
"Qingshu, apologize to General Xu!" Song Yuanqiao said seriously, "In front of everyone, if you think about what happened before, did you hear the wrong words or see the wrong person?"
Song Qingshu said with a serious expression: "Now that I think about it, maybe I heard wrong at the time..."
"How dare you open your eyes and tell lies in front of this old nun?" Master Jue shouted sternly, "If it wasn't for Master Zhang's sake, I would have killed you, a vicious and sinister little guy, with one sword today.
brute!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone changed their minds, especially the Wudang heroes.
Mo Shenggu's expression suddenly changed and he stood up and said, "Master Jue, please be merciful!"
"If I were not merciful, this little beast would have lost its head and body!" Master Miejie said in disgust, "Forget it and apologize to General Xu. I just hope that the Wudang Sect will strictly discipline this little beast.
Don’t let him come out to harm others again! Also, it’s best to stay away from my Emei sect! Don’t harass my Emei sect disciples anymore!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Song Yuanqiao suddenly stepped forward, slapped Song Qingshu three times, and shouted sternly: "Bad beast, how did my father teach you to be kind to others? Master Jiejie is a highly respected person, and you have offended her when you were just a fledgling. You deserve these three slaps.
To suffer or not to suffer?”
"That's right! The child deserves to be beaten!" Song Qingshu shouted tremblingly, clenching his fists and lowering his head, looking very humiliated.
With so many people present, and in front of the woman he admired, he was so humiliated, how could he not feel resentful?
But Song Yuanqiao's words were actually a slight explanation to excuse him. But he was full of resentment at the moment and didn't realize his father's painstaking efforts at all.
The other factions didn't know the whole story and couldn't speak out, so they all watched indifferently.
Fortunately, Master Jue had no intention of pursuing the matter further. After snorting coldly, he asked Xu Da to talk aside.
Xu Da officially became the commander-in-chief of the six major factions' coalition forces. He was indeed very good at leading troops in battle, and he quickly proved himself once again.
Before dawn the next day, the Five Elements Flag left and came back. Apparently he realized that he had been fooled last night and was unwilling to kill him again.
However, Xu Da had already laid an ambush and commanded the six sects to repel the enemy attack again and captured a large number of Five Elements Banner followers.
After this battle, Xu Da completely established his position in the ranks of the six major factions and gained their trust.
The six major factions soon continued to march towards Guangmingding, and experienced dozens of large and small battles along the way. However, under the command of Xu Da and with the full cooperation of the masters of each faction, the six major factions moved very fast and were almost unstoppable.
Along the way, in addition to capturing enemy troops during the war, Xu Da, Hua Yun and others also took the initiative to persuade the lower-level cult members in various places to surrender.
Xu Da followed the rhetoric and principles taught to her by Su Yi and achieved remarkable results. When they approached the foot of Guangmingding Mountain, Xu Da's team had expanded to more than 1,300 people.
Among them, Chang Yuchun of Jumu Banner was also captured by Xu Da. He was an old acquaintance of Xu Da. Xu Da had always admired his talents, but Chang Yuchun would rather die than surrender and was determined to fight to the end for the Ming Cult.
Just when Xu Da was undecided about whether to kill Chang Yuchun, Chang Yuchun was let go.
Not only Chang Yuchun, but also the imprisoned Ruijin Banner Zhuang Zheng and more than thirty Five Elements Banner followers who would rather die than surrender.
Also missing with Chang Yuchun was Zeng Aniu, who had always kept a low profile and had no sense of presence.
Xu Da was speechless after learning about this, but he could only give up.
Even Sun Nuer was depressed for a while, feeling that the young master's apprentice was really unreliable.
The six major sects came with overwhelming force, but another internal strife broke out among the top leaders of Mingjiao.
There was a melee between Yang Xiao, Wu San and Green Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao. They were all slightly injured, but not seriously. They were not separated until the White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng arrived.
The war is imminent, and if something like this happens, it is obviously bad news that adds insult to injury for the Mingjiao.
However, after this internal strife, the top leaders of the Mingjiao were completely awakened. They have realized that if they do not unite, the danger of annihilation of the religion is just around the corner.
Because the lower levels are fighting on their own, people are already in panic, and coupled with Xu Da's speech to persuade them to surrender, the morale of the lower levels of the Mingjiao is now very low, and people are defecting every day.
Even the Sky Eagle Sect has such signs.
Yang Xiao and others discussed it and finally decided to agree to Master Miejie's original proposal. Experts from both sides would fight to the death in a life-and-death duel at Guangmingding to end this war!
Even in this situation, the Sky Eagle Sect was unwilling to join forces with the Five Elements Flag. However, their opponent, the traitor Xu Da, made full use of such contradictions to defeat them one by one, turning the enemy into one of their own.
In Xu Da's propaganda, the six major sects vowed to win this time, and the Mingjiao could not escape this time. However, everyone's ambition was to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, not to fight each other for the sake of high-level grievances and the six major sects who were also bent on resisting the Yuan Dynasty
, doing this will only make your loved ones angry and your enemies happy.
Therefore, if the rebels do not kill the rebels, let us fight each other in a battle of gentlemen. You will be considered loyal to Mingjiao, and then you can join my team, Xu Da, and no longer pay attention to the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and focus on fighting against the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.
Xu Da's statement gave the lower-level believers who had been forced to get involved in this war a reason to surrender with peace of mind. As a result, the surrender rate of the lower-level members of the Mingjiao reached a new high almost every day.
If this continues, the foundation of Mingjiao will be shaken. How can Yang Xiao and other high-level officials still sit still?
Therefore, the Mingjiao and other high-level leaders agreed to engage in a life-and-death battle with the six major sects at Guangmingding.
In fact, as time went on, Xu Da's efforts to persuade him to surrender became more and more difficult to achieve results. Because those who wanted to surrender basically surrendered, and the rest were determined to fight to the end for the Mingjiao.
But now that the top leaders have made a decision, the lower-level believers will no longer block the progress of the six major sects.
On the day of the decisive battle, Xu Da led his troops stationed at the foot of the mountain to confront the Five Elements Banners. Only the six major sects came up the mountain. The two sides gathered together in the Mingjiao Guangming Palace. After some back-and-forth talk, the decisive battle officially began.
This is a life-and-death struggle. There is no need to talk about the rules of the world, and there is no need to organize troops.
The rules of the competition are that you send one person to the stage, and I send one person to the stage. Both sides fight alone, regardless of life or death, but outsiders are not allowed to interfere.
The winner can stay on stage and continue to fight, but the loser cannot go on stage again.
The rules were simple and crude, and neither side had any objections, so the fight was about to begin.
The battle became intense as soon as it started. Several altar masters and incense masters from the Ming Sect were killed, and disciples and elders from the six major sects were also killed.
Different from the original plot, because there is no participation of Cheng Kun, Yang Xiao and others basically retain their complete strength. The combat effectiveness of both sides is equal, and neither should be underestimated.
It is worth mentioning that Cheng Kun is also here.
His mental state was a little bad, but he showed no mercy when fighting.
He faced Wen Cansong, the flag bearer of the giant wooden flag of the Five Elements Flag. After the two fought for several moves, Cheng Kun shattered his heart with a palm and killed him.
However, he pretended to be beaten to death by mistake. After beating his opponent to death, Cheng Kun was still very shocked and chanted the Buddha's name, shook his head and sighed.
This was the first high-ranking member of the Ming Cult to die. His death made the already heated battle situation at Guangmingding even more grim.
"Burn my broken body with a blazing holy fire. What joy is there in life, and why is death so painful? To eliminate evil for good, only for the sake of light. Joy and sorrow all return to the dust. Everything is for the people, not for selfish reasons. Have mercy on me, the world, there are so many sorrows.
…”
All the heroes of Mingjiao chanted scriptures in unison to see Wen Cangsong off.
This scene made people from the six major sects quite moved when they saw it, and they felt a sense of solemnity and solemnity.
Soon, the first heavyweight on the Mingjiao side stood up——
White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng!
"Mingjiao Yin Tianzheng, I will teach you all the great tricks!" The White-browed Eagle King has long eyebrows and a tall figure. He looks around and looks around, showing his majesty.
"I wonder if there is any master among the various sects who would not hesitate to give me some advice?" His deep voice spread throughout the room.
"Wudang Zhang Songxi, ask Senior Eagle King for some tips!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone jumped out from the Wudang side, and it was Zhang Songxi, the Four Heroes of Wudang.
