Monk Deshan suddenly lost two important disciples in battle, and his heart felt like a knife.
After leaving the room, Deshan saw the monk soldiers who had been killed in a terrible manner. Almost everyone was injured, and there were only a few thousand left.
"what happened!"
Deshan found a disciple, grabbed the monk's clothes and asked him.
The disciple said: "In the morning, while we were still sleeping, we suddenly heard screams, and then the tent caught fire. When we came out, we saw an Eastern Zhou general riding a horse with a knife in his hand, killing everyone he saw.
"
"We picked up weapons and besieged him, but that man was very powerful and we were no match at all."
"When senior brother Zhixian found out, he wanted to fight with him, but he was killed as soon as he met him."
"The Eastern Zhou soldiers in the pass also took the opportunity to come out. We have no choice..."
Monk Kongji came out, heard the monk soldier's cry, and asked with a gloomy face: "Are you sure that is Long Chengen?"
The disciple replied: "That man said it himself."
Monk Kongji can be sure that that general is Long Chen.
Besides him, who else could kill Zhixian face to face.
But... wasn't Long Chen seriously injured by Tianxiahui? Why is he still so fierce?
I heard that during the fight to the death with the assassins of the Tianxiahui, Yang Jingshi's fire poison broke out again, and coupled with the serious injuries, his cultivation level should be greatly reduced.
how so...
"Brother, what should I do?"
Monk Deshan felt a headache.
"Long Chengen was full of tricks. He immediately withdrew the besieging soldiers and gathered them all here. He sent spies to find out the situation before making a decision."
Deshan said: "But senior brother, we have been under siege for so many days. If we retreat, wouldn't it mean that we have failed in our efforts?"
Kong Ji shook his head and sighed: "I also know that we will fall short, but if we are attacked by Long Chengen, the 80,000 troops may be gone!"
The Eastern Zhou soldiers in the small town had no water or food. They were at the end of their war effort and could break the city at any time.
It is indeed a pity to retreat at this time, and Kongji is also very clear.
But if he didn't retreat, he would be worried about Long Chen's conspiracy.
Deshan looked at his most elite monk soldiers and sighed: "Retreat, this guy is best at surprise attacks."
Kong Ji immediately ordered the besieging soldiers and horses to withdraw.
Back in the room, Deshan asked: "Brother, what should we do now? Is this the end of it?"
Monk Kongji was silent for a moment and said, "I'm going to visit the Jade Buddha Pass."
Deshan said in surprise: "Senior brother, what are you going to do? What if you meet Long Chengen?"
Kong Ji said: "I'm going to explore the truth. This battle is too important. Long Chengen's appearance means that the empress should be in Linjiang City."
"As long as the empress is away, no one can keep me, so don't worry."
Deshan thought about it, even if Kong Ji couldn't kill Long Chen, Long Chen couldn't kill Kong Ji.
After changing into ordinary monk clothes, Kongji rode a horse to the Jade Buddha Pass.
Along the way, you can still see the retreating monk soldiers supporting each other and retreating, and there are many corpses lying on the ground.
It was obviously a good situation, but as soon as Long Chen came, the situation changed, and Kong Ji was unwilling to accept it.
It’s true that Long Chen is awesome, and Kong Ji is not a vegetarian either.
For so many years in Xixia, he was Shi Le's right-hand man, and he fought many battles.
"If someone as powerful as Long Ye is dead, a mere Long Chengen is nothing."
Kong Ji felt a strong heart, suppressed his fear and hesitation, and rode his horse to the front of the Jade Buddha Pass.
Kong Ji took out a monocular telescope and looked at Jade Buddha Pass.
This is something the world would give to Kongji.
On the city gate, there are two heads hanging, one of Fa Ming and the other of Shi Ming.
When he saw the head, Kongji put down the telescope and let out a long sigh.
The three disciples who broke into the house were all finished.
Mojie was instigated to rebel and became the Buddhist sect of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty; Ma Zun was sent to the grassland, but was killed in the Snow Valley; Shi Ming was sent to the rear, and his head is now hanging here.
When Shi Ming set out, Kong Ji had an ominous premonition, and it came true.
"Master harmed you..."
Monk Kongji shook his head and sighed.
The handsome flag with the word "dragon" on the top of the city was flying high, and Kong Jie's heart felt like a knife piercing it, and he secretly swore in his heart that this revenge would be avenged.
Turning the horse's head, Monk Kongji returned to the small temple.
....
Jade Buddha Pass.
Emperor Lingyi was looking at the map when Tang Heizi ran in in surprise and said: "Princess, the siege of Xixia has been withdrawn. We just sent water and food. When the brothers knew that Dazhu Kingdom was coming, they all said they would counterattack!"
The Xixia army retreated, and the logistics army immediately sent supplies. The soldiers in the small town knew that Long Chen had arrived at Jade Buddha Pass, and their morale improved again.
They followed Long Chen and fought all the way. No matter what kind of enemy they were, they could win.
In their opinion, Long Chen's arrival means that the battle has been won.
"Let them have a good rest and wait for Dazhu Kingdom to make a decision."
Emperor Lingyi asked Zhang Qian and others to rest and wait for Long Chen's arrangements together.
In the room, Long Chen slept until sunset.
When I woke up, Bai Tingting was sitting next to me.
"Aren't you sleepy?"
"I've already slept. Let's get up and have something to eat."
Long Chen didn't get up directly, but stretched out his hands to carry Bai Tingting onto the bed, pressed him under him, and put his hand in.
"What are you doing? There's someone outside."
"The door is closed, what are you afraid of?"
"Oh no...you eat first."
"You feed me!"
"I hate it, don't..."
Long Chen didn't care, he just tore open his clothes and started chewing them.
Bai Tingting hugged Long Chen and tried her best to hold back the sound.
After a long time, Long Chen got up to eat.
"Aren't you full? Still eating!"
Bai Tingting picked up the scattered clothes and put them on one by one.
"I'll eat you next time."
Long Chen finished his meal with a smile and opened the door to the handsome manor.
When Long Chen came in, Emperor Lingyi immediately stood up, and the other generals had been waiting at the Commander's Mansion.
"Dazhu Kingdom."
"sit down."
Long Chen sat down and asked: "What's the situation outside?"
Emperor Lingyi pointed to the map and said: "In the morning we broke through the monk soldiers blocking the pass. Kongji Lao Ballu immediately removed the besieging soldiers and huddled near the Chiyan Temple."
Long Chen looked at the map carefully. Chiyan Temple was very close to Jade Buddha Pass, only about two miles apart.
If you use cavalry, you can get there quickly.
However, Chiyan Temple is halfway up the mountain, so if you attack, you have to attack from your back.
Xixia has an elite cavalry force called the Iron Kites. If the Iron Kites launch a counter-charge from a high position, things may not go well.
"The Chiyan Temple is backed by a mountain and is located high up, making it difficult to attack."
Di Lingyi said that she also knew this problem.
"Dazhu Kingdom, please lead us to counterattack. It's been really frustrating these days!"
Ye Chang patted the table and said.
Long Chen said: "A counterattack is definitely necessary, but the time is not yet ripe. Xixia is sending out elites. If we fight head-on, the losses will be huge."
The counterattack in the morning was considered a sneak attack and caught Kong Ji off guard.
Now that we are on guard, it will be a fierce fight.
Long Chen looked at the map carefully and asked: "Which way does Shi Ming go to the rear?"
Wu Jian pointed to a place on the map and said: "Here, this is a valley, very narrow. At that time, he led the monk soldiers from Zhenguo Temple to bypass the city defense and entered the hinterland of the rear."
