Stopping his recollection and withdrawing his thoughts, Huayue no longer thought about everything that happened three days ago, but instead focused on the upcoming election of the sect leader.
The sound of footsteps came from the Dragon Cave, and groups of Hidden Sect disciples walked into the hall, raised their weapons, and formed a formation.
The number of people is increasing. Looking around, half of the hall is packed with people, all of whom are experts in martial arts.
Facing more and more enemies, Fei Weng frowned and Master Kujing looked solemn.
Zhou Jun, however, had a calm face, just looking towards the entrance quietly, waiting for the arrival of the rightful owner.
After a while, a group of people walked up the corridor.
A bearded Sogdian man wearing gold, silver, and silk satin, surrounded by a group of subordinates, walked into the dragon's cave with a big smile.
"That person is Shi Zucai. Standing next to him are the head of the executive hall and the head of the patrol hall."
After hearing Fei Weng's introduction, Zhou Jun nodded.
Shi Zu just looked around and said with a smile: "Is this the rumored Demon Cave? I don't think it's more than that!"
Fei Weng took a step forward and said loudly: "Master Stone Seal, this time the sect leader recommended, we originally agreed that the number of guards brought by both parties should not exceed fifty. I am afraid that the number of guards you brought will be more than three hundred. This is a breach of contract."
."
Shi Zucai pretended to be surprised and said to Fei Weng: "Who told you that these people are all guards? It's not like you don't know that Shi is born to be grand when traveling. Among these people, there are cooks, grooms, and servants.
This can’t be considered a breach of contract, right?”
Fei Weng snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Shi Zucai touched his beard and turned his gaze to the opposite side. He saw only about thirty people behind Fei Weng.
After staring at Long Qi among them for a long time, Shi Zu asked: "That one-armed man wearing black armor, is he the dragon master you mentioned?"
After receiving a positive reply, Shizu narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice and said: "When we take action later, remember to deal with him first!"
Master Kujing stood up at this time and said: "Master Shiyin, the sect leader has just passed away. In the past few years, the Yin Sect has made many foreign enemies. In today's election, harmony should be the most important thing."
Shi Zucai: "How much money is kindness worth? If you want to become a sect leader, you must show your true ability. Only then can you convince the public!"
After a moment of pause, Shizu said to Master Kujing: "What happened today has nothing to do with you. If you, old monk, are willing to leave on your own, Shi can forget about the past for what you have done."
Master Kujing sighed, closed his eyes, and chose to stay.
Shi Zucai snorted, turned his attention to Zhou Jun, cupped his hands and said: "Prisoner Zhou, I have long admired your name."
Zhou Jun looked Shi Zucai up and down and asked in a deep voice: "You make a living by catching red men and assassinating imperial officials. Aren't you afraid of death?"
Shizu straightened up and said with a smile: "Take people's money to eliminate disasters for them."
Zhou Jun's eyes turned cold: "Whose money will be taken? Whose disaster will be eliminated? The nine surnames of Zhaowu intend to Central Plains, and use the help of Yinmen to eliminate dissidents, which can be punished as treason!"
Shi Zucai was stunned for a moment, then forced himself to smile and said: "Shi couldn't understand what Supervisor Zhou said. I came here today because I want to be the leader of the sect, but I don't mind, and I just completed a red order for the Yin Sect."
Fei Weng and Mu Xiehe looked at each other, and the former said to Shi Zucai: "The masters of the Pavilion Hall and the Punishment Hall have not arrived yet."
Shi Zucai waved his hand and said: "The master of the Pavilion Hall has taken a job in the Beiting Protector's Mansion and will not come back. As for that crazy woman, she keeps talking about her every day and her whereabouts are unpredictable. I'm afraid she won't see anyone if I wait any longer.
...So, don’t waste time, tell me first, who do you plan to recommend?!”
Fei Weng pointed to Huayue beside him and said: "This girl is my apprentice. She is talented and bright and has a bright future. I recommend her to be the leader of the Hidden Sect."
When Shi Zu heard this, he glanced at Hua Yue and then at Fei Weng, with disbelief written all over his face, and then laughed and said: "Fei Yinzhu is so confused, he actually recommended a girl to sit on the throne of the sect master.
?!Look at this girl’s appearance, maybe she hasn’t bowed her hair yet?”
When the Yinmen disciples saw this, they also burst into laughter.
Fei Weng emphasized his tone: "I'm not confused."
Shi Zucai, who still had a smile on his face, looked at Master Kujing and Mu Sheikh. Seeing that the two men also had serious faces, he noticed something was wrong and asked: "You all think so?"
Seeing the three people across from him nodding together, Shi Zu looked at Huayue and slowly stopped smiling: "Shi got the recommendation from the inspector and the chief executive, and that girl got the recommendation from the three of you. The sect leader's vote is right now.
Three versus three. Now, if you want to get the result, I'm afraid there is only one way..."
Shi Zucai nodded to his subordinates as he spoke.
The masters of the Hidden Sect under him raised their weapons one after another, eager to try.
Zhou Jun led everyone back towards the Yinglong stone wall at the innermost side of the hall, and asked Shi Zucai: "Before we do anything, I have something to ask you."
Shi Zucai: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Jun: "When that man from Hebei mentioned me to you, did he ever talk about Chang'an?"
Shi Zucai: "Chang'an? What's going on in Chang'an? He didn't say anything." Zhou Jun smiled and whispered to Hua Yue beside him: "Open the door."
Huayue nodded, pushed his feet on the ground, climbed up against the dragon wall, inserted the dragon cone in his hand into the dragon's mouth, and turned it hard.
Amidst the rumbling sound of the machine, the dragon wall lowered.
Seeing this scene, Shi Zu was startled and looked toward the open secret door.
The firelight in the hall shines into the darkness behind the secret door, and the reflected light is like a lake with sparkling ripples.
Some Yinmen disciples couldn't help but ask: "What's in there?"
Shi Zucai suddenly trembled and stepped back unconsciously, saying incoherently: "It's A...A!"
Accompanied by a burst of intensive drumming, uniform footsteps came from behind the secret door, getting closer and closer.
Everyone in the Dragon Cave finally saw clearly the shining thing behind the door.
Bright light armor, ring armor, face helmet, sword, spear, heavy crossbow, tower shield, lasso...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! That is an army, an elite Tang army armed to the teeth!
Sun Aying took off his robe, took the Mo Dao from his subordinates, stood at the head of the battle front team, and shouted: "Line up!"
"List!"
Hundreds of elite Tang soldiers roared like tigers roaring and dragons roaring, making the entire cave tremble slightly. Reading is confusing
The military formation is divided into four yamen: center, left, right and back.
One hundred soldiers of the vanguard are located in the middle formation; there are fifty people in the left wing and fifty people in the right wing, which are a mixture of heavy steps (lance, heavy shield) and light steps (jumping, trapping); one hundred people in the rear army are all bows.
crossbow.
After the formation of the Tang army was completed, the swords and armor were gleaming in the hall, and the armor was gleaming. The military formation was obviously silent, but looking at it, it showed the power of swallowing up mountains and rivers.
On the other hand, although the masters of the Hidden Sect were all highly skilled in martial arts, none of them could stand firm in front of such an army. They were all frightened, and some even started to turn around and run away.
Shi Zucai was shocked and frightened. He gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "This is impossible! This is impossible! I have someone to keep an eye on the army of the Anxi Protectorate every day. They have never left the camp! Wait, wait.
Wait! I understand, these soldiers are just pretending to be people! Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid!”
There were brave disciples in the Hidden Sect who were not afraid of death. Hearing Shi Zucai's words, they raised their weapons and rushed towards the military formation with strange screams.
Sun Aying, who was in the vanguard, looked at Zhou Jun, waiting for the latter's order.
Zhou Jun raised his arm, looked at the approaching enemies, and killed them without hesitation.
Sun Aying nodded to the team leader, who picked up the horn, puffed up his cheeks, and blew the first blast. At the same time, each team of the Tang Army raised their guns, raised their flags, strung their bows, and unsheathed their swords.
Immediately afterwards, the second horn sounded, and the crossbowmen, in teams of three, fired in turns from the holes in the tower shield.
Finally, the third trumpet sounded, the crossbowmen retreated and reloaded, the heavy infantry in the front row grasped their spears and assumed a posture to resist the impact, and the light infantry bowed, preparing to engage in battle.
In fact, just when the second horn sounded, most of the desperadoes who attacked the military formation were killed by crossbows. Occasionally, two lucky ones were killed before they could reach the shield formation.
He was stabbed directly into a hornet's nest by a spear.
Seeing this shape, the Yinmen disciples were so frightened that they lost their will to fight and fled backwards.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Jun remembered Fei Weng's previous words.
The so-called martial arts is about fighting and catching opponents, finding the weaknesses of others, and then attacking them, which is the way to win. However, what the two armies compete against is military formation and strategy, and the difference in individual abilities in the military has been reduced to a minimum.
.Therefore, no matter how skilled a person is in martial arts, it will be difficult for him to be useful on the battlefield.
At this time, because the mechanism of the Dragon Cave has not been opened, the two stone doors are closed.
The Hidden Sect disciples, who had no way to escape, trampled on each other in the narrow corridor, causing numerous deaths and injuries.
Only a small number of smart people faced the Tang army and stayed together, struggling for the last glimmer of hope.
When Sun Aying saw this, he roared: "Come in!"
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty roared in unison: "Enter!"
The shield formation, like an armored city wall, moved slowly towards the other side of the Dragon Cave.
Some people wanted to raise their weapons to resist, but were shot to death by random arrows; some people wanted to fly over the wall and sneak attack the military formation, but jumped into the air before landing, and were pierced by a spear; still others wanted to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, but were killed
The light infantry responsible for clearing the ground cut the bodies into pieces with swords.
From the start of the battle to the end, the whole process only took about ten minutes.
Looking into the dragon cave, there were corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.
At the end of the battle, not one of the three hundred hidden sect masters under Shi Zucai could stand alive to the end.
