Chapter 49 The enemy is in Wumu Temple
Early morning of the second day.
The Imperial Guards set off and continued to march to the next border pass.
And at the front of the team.
Meng Huai led his 800 rangers and 1,200 light armored infantry, acting as a pioneer.
"Princess, we will see rain clouds gathering in the southeast. I am afraid there will be wind and rain tonight..."
The sun will set.
Meng Huai led one or two light cavalry back to the Chinese army's formation and shouted to the carriages in the team: "The horses are coming from ahead to report that there is an abandoned temple at the foot of the mountain five miles away. There are three main halls in the temple and many side rooms, which is perfect for setting up camp."
, please show me the princess."
Inside the carriage.
Princess Luo Ling and Eunuch Hong looked at each other and whispered: "Yes..."
"The princess has an order to camp at the temple five miles ahead tonight." Meng Huai rode on his horse and shouted as he rode forward: "Brothers, speed up the march, go to the temple to light a fire for cooking, and set up camp.
Take a rest."
Once you hear it, you can rest.
Not to mention the rangers and light-armored infantry who were at the forefront, even the Forbidden Army soldiers surrounding the princess's camp were very happy and quickened their pace.
After a stick of incense.
A breeze gradually began to blow around, and the temple revealed its true appearance in front of everyone.
This is an unknown wild temple.
It looks like it has been abandoned for many years, but the temple is quite large, and a five-eyed fierce god is enshrined in the main hall.
"Princess, you can get off the car now."
Jiang Xuan led the imperial troops to inspect the temple for a while, and then came back to report to Princess Luo Ling: "Judging from the traces, the temple has been abandoned for about a hundred or two hundred years. Fortunately, it is a mountain stone temple and can be lived in without maintenance.
."
"Well..."
Princess Luo Ling, dressed in a smart outfit, stepped out of the carriage accompanied by Eunuch Hong.
"They say the world has changed forever."
Looking at the ancient temple in the mountains in front of her, Princess Luo Ling sighed: "There is no village in front of this place and no shop in the back, but there is a magnificent temple. I think a hundred or two hundred years ago, there were residential towns nearby, but they were not
I don’t know why it was moved, but this temple that could not be moved was gradually forgotten by the world.”
Finished.
Perhaps because the rabbit died and the fox was sad, Princess Luo Ling looked at Eunuch Hong again: "Mr. Hong, do you think if I don't survive this disaster, will anyone remember me in a hundred or two hundred years?"
What Eunuch Hong can say is that he can only say whatever sounds good: "The princess has a body of gold and the heart of a saint. She will definitely have continuous blessings and longevity, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
Raise your eyebrows and smile.
Princess Luo Ling didn't believe in Chitose, so she just said: "I'm tired. I'll tidy up the Five Eyes Temple, put down the phoenix bed, and choose a few men to relieve my fatigue."
"Yes, princess."
......
Although the Five Eyes Temple can be settled.
But it still needs to be tidied up to some extent. After all, it has been abandoned for a long time, and it has long become the habitat of the animal kingdom.
Of course.
Of course, there is no need for the princess or Jiang Xuan to do this kind of trivial matter.
Where is Jiang Xuan?
Climbing high and looking into the distance, they looked at Meng Huai and others who claimed to be stationed outside, but had actually cut off the retreat of the Imperial Army stationed in the temple: "I'm just waiting for you..."
"Set up the crossbow!"
In the temple.
A group of Forbidden Army soldiers were also not idle, because it is the practice of the Forbidden Army to set up their crossbows whenever they set up camp.
At a glance.
The crossbow battalions in groups of three set up their crossbows on rooftops or at some dangerous intersections.
Although there are not many in number, only thirty-six.
It can be paired with the Forbidden Army's main formation, where everyone holds a crossbow. Such a defensive crossbow formation of a thousand people, even a grandmaster cannot forcefully break through.
"It is indeed a strong army."
Periphery.
Inside the border army camp.
Meng Huai and Dai Zhengzong stood together, looking at the Forbidden Army who were camping safely with the help of the temple terrain: "Fortunately, there are only a thousand Forbidden Army. If there were more than one or two thousand, we would have to give up."
p>
Dai Zhengzong nodded: "With such a strong formation, coupled with a master-level coach, even three or five masters would not dare to rush forward. Fortunately, we have also made a foolproof plan. The rest depends on God's will."
Boom!
Night.
There were bursts of thunder, and a storm was coming in the sky.
Under the border army camp.
A group of middle- and low-level officers who had fallen asleep were woken up individually and brought to Meng Huai's camp for unknown reasons.
"Captain, what happened?"
Everyone was sleeping in a daze and had no idea what was happening.
"The family and the country are unfortunate."
Seeing everyone gathered, Meng Huai nodded to Dai Zhengzong who was standing aside. Then Dai Zhengzong took a step forward and took out a blood letter: "Yang Su, the leader of the Imperial Army, surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country, and has imprisoned Her Majesty the Princess. This is the Princess's blood letter, written in blood."
Use the gold seal to order us to bring order to the chaos."
"Ah!"
Upon hearing this, one of the garrison commanders immediately hesitated and said: "The Imperial Guards came from the capital and are loyal to the country. How could they imprison the princess and surrender to the enemy?"
"Oh!"
Meng Huai's eyes narrowed: "Are you saying that I lied to you again?"
"I don't dare." The commander emphasized: "It's just that this matter is of great importance, so we should..."
Zheng!
The words are not finished yet.
One of the chiefs suddenly drew his sword, and with one strike his heart was chilled.
"You..."
Phew...
Another sword.
Meng Huai held up the blood-stained sword and shouted: "The Forbidden Army general Lin Su made a rebellion, imprisoned the princess, and wanted to surrender to the enemy. Brothers, follow me and raise your troops, rush into the temple, and rescue the princess."
"The enemy is in Wumu Temple!" Dai Zhengzong also drew his weapon and shouted: "When a man is alive, he can make a name for himself now, kill..."
Kill!!
Cycling camp.
Zuowei Light Armor Camp was originally brought out by Meng Huai and Dai Zhengzong.
There is a saying called blind obedience.
Especially after the opposition Chief Zhao was killed, most of the remaining people were close confidants of the two. Even if they had doubts, they had no choice but to take action.
"What's going on?"
A fire suddenly broke out behind the temple.
The fire didn't know what was burned, and the thick smoke was blown towards the Forbidden Army camp with the help of the wind direction.
"Cover your face..."
Meng Huai and his party were prepared, as were the generals of the Forbidden Army.
An order is given.
Everyone wet their breast towels to cover their faces, and Princess Luo Ling, who was dressed in armor, also walked out of the room: "The captain of the Ranger Battalion, Meng Huai, has committed treason, and the generals are preparing to meet the enemy."
"Kill!"
The two camps are not far from each other.
Accompanied by the cry of killing, Dai Zhengzong led the light armored battalion and came with shields raised.
"Let it go!"
Forbidden Army heavy crossbow.
Whenever you encounter an enemy, use your bow and crossbow to clear the way.
Ding ding ding...
Crossbow arrows flew out one after another. Some were blocked by the lightly armored soldiers holding shields, while others flew into the formation and shot down dozens of soldiers.
"Let it go!"
The light armored battalion does not have crossbows, but there are 200 archers accompanying it.
Now the shield-bearing soldiers blocked the front, and the archers behind also started shooting back. For a while, you came and went, and it was very lively.
"Jinbing troops, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Seeing that the light armored battalion was unable to advance and was gradually losing ground in the exchange of fire, Meng Huai also shouted and joined the battlefield.
"Kill!"
Hundreds of skilled players are dispatched.
What kind of personal soldiers are these? You use hooks, sickles, and spears, and he uses meteor hammers. They are clearly a group of masters.
"What?"
The Imperial Guards fought back with crossbows, forcing everyone not to get close.
Just when the second stalemate was about to begin, three white-haired old soldiers suddenly rose up, withstood the crossbow attack and rushed straight into the southeastern position of the Forbidden Army, and quickly tore it apart.
"The crossbow is not added to the body!"
Seeing the three veterans passing by, the crossbow arrows fired at the two of them were taken away one after another, and someone exclaimed: "Grandmaster, it's the grandmaster, quickly adjust the crossbow."
"It's too late!"
The reason why the three grandmasters were hidden among ordinary soldiers was to get as close as possible to the Forbidden Army formation without being locked in advance by crossbows and crossbows.
Now the plan succeeded.
The three people immediately joined forces to kill, killing most of the hundreds of forbidden troops guarding the southeast in just a few breaths.
"Go to hell!"
Seeing another forbidden soldier blocking the way, the grandmaster with a drunken nose didn't even think about it but struck the air with his palm.
"Huh?"
Although it was just a palm strike in the air, and the true energy flew two feet away from the body, such an attack was not something that an ordinary soldier of the Forbidden Army could withstand.
But I don’t know what happened this time, but the fatal palm was actually dodged.
The Grandmaster with the Wine Groove Nose’s face changed drastically. It struck his eyes that this was not an ordinary soldier. He was clearly an old monster wearing a soldier’s helmet, with fair hair and a childish face.
"Pfft..."
Cross your palms.
The two of them passed four or five moves just by meeting each other.
The Master of Wine Groove Nose resisted with difficulty. After parrying four or five moves, he felt overwhelmed and was stamped on the chest by a palm: "You..."
"How about the Zajia's Huagu Palm?"
The old monster had a sinister smile on his face. Who else could he be if he wasn't Eunuch Hong?
"Hua Guzhang!"
"You are Hong Shouguan...ah!"
Chapter completed!
