When Shi Ming penetrated into the rear of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he killed many civilians. Long Chen hated the monk soldiers.
After crossing the valley, the nearest stronghold is Zhenguo Temple, and Long Chen's first goal is here.
According to estimates, all the soldiers and horses from Zhenguo Temple should have gone to the front line.
However, Long Chen still sent out sentries to confirm the situation. He only brought five hundred cavalry, and he must not fall into a melee and be wasted.
"Okay, let's take away the three thousand monk soldiers in one wave, and then attack Zhenguo Temple!"
Long Chen collected his things and got on his horse. The others got on their horses together, kept their voices down as low as possible, and slowly walked towards the military camp south of Zhenguo Temple.
Soon, Long Chen saw the Zhenguo Temple barracks.
There is a wooden statue of the Buddha standing at the door, and two monks and soldiers on the sentry tower are sleeping on it.
Good news kept coming from the front line, and these monk soldiers didn't worry about sneak attacks at all.
Long Chen quietly picked up his bow and fired two arrows at the monk soldiers on the sentry tower. The arrows penetrated the head and the monk soldier died in his sleep.
Raising his spear and pointing forward, Long Chen took the lead and was the first to rush into the barracks.
The sound of the iron hooves of the war horses woke up the monk soldiers, and howls spread everywhere. The monk soldiers scrambled out of the barracks in panic, and saw a group of cavalry wearing blue armor rushing towards them, throwing torches into the barracks.
The climate in Xixia is dry, especially in summer.
The wooden barracks caught fire and burned. The monk soldiers who had no time to escape were burned to death inside, and those who escaped were also shot to death one by one.
Long Chen rides a war horse and kills anyone he sees.
Bai Tingting and Shi Ming fought for many days, and saw more tragic scenes, and became even more disgusted with these monk soldiers.
There is mercy on the lips, but there is blood on the hands.
The shadow-chasing sword struck down on the bald head, and his brains were scattered all over the floor.
The three thousand monk soldiers were quickly wiped out, and the barracks were ablaze.
"Let's go and attack Zhenguo Temple!"
After burning the barracks, Long Chen didn't stop and immediately went to Zhenguo Temple on the mountain.
In the temple.
A monk rushed into the monk's room in a panic and shouted: "No, the barracks at the bottom of the mountain are on fire!"
A fat monk with big gaps in his teeth slowly got up from the bed, and next to him lay a petite and fair female donor.
This person is Monk Fuhai, the superintendent of Zhenguo Temple.
Fuhai, the prisoner, had fought several battles last night and had not slept enough. He was woken up by the monk and was very angry.
"You are such a noisy fellow. How could a fire break out when the barracks at the foot of the mountain are so good? You must have made a fire to make food in the morning."
The monk said anxiously: "Absolutely not, the fire was so strong, and there were faint sounds of fighting."
Hearing the sound of fighting, Fuhai's sleepiness in the prison suddenly disappeared, and he quickly put on a monk's robe and walked out.
Standing at the gate of the mountain, looking at the barracks at the bottom of the mountain, I saw thick smoke billowing.
"What's going on? Why is everything burned? Come with me and take a look!"
Fuhai never imagined that the barracks at the foot of the mountain would be attacked by Long Chen.
The alarm bell sounded in the temple, and the monks gathered in a noisy manner, carrying buckets and water to put out the fire.
After rushing out of the mountain gate a few steps, I saw Long Chen coming with a long gun.
"No, Dongzhou is coming!"
The monk was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. Long Chen rushed forward and shot one by one. Behind him, the knights surrounded him and killed him. A pile of corpses lay at the gate of the mountain.
When Fuhai saw Long Chen coming to kill him, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran towards the back door, regardless of the fact that he had no shoes on.
Long Chen rushed into the Zhenguo Temple. The monks inside had just gathered in a noisy manner. Carrying buckets and water, the Xiaoqi battalion swarmed up and beheaded the monks in the front yard. The monks behind turned around and ran away. Leng Yu led the people to continue the pursuit.
Long Chen walked into the main hall, where a refuge Buddha was enshrined.
Bai Tingting spat and cursed: "What kind of devil are you worshiping? My disciples killed, set fire to, raped and plundered one by one."
Long Chen said: "There is something wrong with their Buddhist teachings. Those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. Those who do not worship and take refuge in the Buddha are evil demons and heretics."
Long Chen picked up the candle on the table and lit the hall. The fire spread quickly.
Leng Yu returned to the front yard and said: "Dazhu Kingdom, basically all the demon monks in the temple have been killed, and some have escaped."
Long Chen said: "Ignore him, let's take a rest and then continue to the west."
Everyone rested for a while, then rode their horses to attack west.
Fuhai, the prisoner, ran away from the back door and saw a donkey working on it. Fuhai hurriedly untied the rope and rode the donkey to Chiyan Temple.
After descending the mountain, looking back in the direction of Zhenguo Temple, I saw a sea of fire and thick smoke rising upwards.
"Damn it, destroy my dojo!"
Fuhai didn't dare to stop, so he slapped the donkey hard and drove on.
This donkey was usually used as a grinder in the temple. The fodder given to it was not enough, and its health was not good. After walking for a certain distance, it knelt down and refused to move.
Fuhai yelled: "You stupid donkey, you have eaten a lot of rice and it is useless at all!"
Fearing that the Eastern Zhou army would pursue him, Fuhai ran to Chiyan Temple with bare feet.
I stepped on stones along the way, and the soles of my feet were bruised.
When they ran to Chiyan Temple, the monk soldiers saw Fu Hai and asked in surprise: "Why does the prison look like this?"
Fuhai scolded: "You haven't put your shoes on yet!"
The monk soldier hurriedly took off his shoes and put them on for Fuhai, but Fuhai's feet were rotten and it hurt terribly to put on the shoes. He cursed again, "Take them off for me. Carry me in to see the abbot and senior brother."
Fuhai was obese, so several monk soldiers worked together to lift Fuhai up.
After entering the main hall and putting it down, the monk immediately reported the virtue and kindness.
Deshan got up from the bed and went to the main hall. When he saw the embarrassed Fuhai, he asked in surprise: "What happened?"
Fuhai, the supervisor, sighed and said: "The Eastern Zhou army attacked the Zhenguo Temple. All the disciples in the temple were killed and the temple was burned down."
Deshan was shocked. They blocked the Eastern Zhou army here, how could they attack Zhenguo Temple secretly?
"Who leads the troops?"
Fuhai shook his head and said, "I don't know, they are all wearing blue armor."
Monk Kongji came out and said, "Blue armor? Long family army?"
When Fuhai saw Kong Ji, he sighed and said, "Brother, you are clearly fighting the Eastern Zhou Dynasty here, why are there still people attacking Zhenguo Temple?"
Deshan looked at Kong Ji and said, "Could it be that Long Chengen is following our example? He also sent his generals to the rear to cause trouble?"
Kong Ji nodded slightly: "It's entirely possible. Our forces are about the same. We can't break through the Jade Buddha Pass, and Long Chengen isn't sure he can break us either."
"So this guy followed our example and sent troops to cause trouble behind us."
After thinking about this, Kong Ji asked: "How many people are there?"
Fuhai thought for a while and said, "There will be no more than five hundred people."
Kong Ji nodded and said: "There are not many people, so it's easy to handle! Send out three thousand iron kites immediately and be sure to extinguish them."
If the rear is in chaos, fighting in the front will be very troublesome, and the supply line may even be cut off.
Usually supplies are transferred from Zhenguo Temple, but now that Zhenguo Temple has been burned down, the food, grass and weapons will definitely be destroyed.
If there is another problem with the transportation line, the 200,000 troops are in danger of running out of food.
"Senior brother, what if they are leading the army with masters..."
There is no Emperor Wu left under Deshan.
Kong Ji shook his head and said: "No need, Emperor Lingyi is injured, Long Chengen must be guarding the Jade Buddha Pass, and the military commanders sent are no more than kings. With three thousand iron kites against five hundred Long family troops, we will definitely win!"
Deshan nodded and immediately sent out three thousand iron kites to pursue them in the direction of Zhenguo Temple.
