As the eastern starting point of the Great Wall, this place has the reputation of being the first pass in the world.
This place originally belonged to Youzhou. It was called Linyu Pass in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Linlu Pass in the Song Dynasty, and was renamed Qianmin Town in the Yuan Dynasty. A large number of immigrants immigrated here, built trenches, built fortifications, and stationed troops.
In the Ming Dynasty, in order to resist the forces of the remaining Yuan Dynasty, Xu Da connected the Great Wall that had been repaired and abandoned in the past dynasties to build an integrated defense line and built barriers and fortifications.
With Yanshan Mountain to the north and Bohai Sea to the south, Shanhaiguan was born between the mountains and the sea.
As the choke point from the Central Plains to the Northeast, it is also an important barrier to protect the two cities of Beijing and Tianjin. Naturally, elites are permanently stationed here. Coupled with the prosperous national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty, it can withstand the sudden attack of Wushen Jue Palace.
But even so, when King Tao and Xiong Ba arrived at Shanhaiguan, it was still a scene of flames of war and blood flowing like rivers.
This world is Gaowu. Shanhaiguan takes the Great Wall as the main line and Guancheng as the center, including 17 acropolis. Half of them have fallen. Four of the ten major passes have been breached. Hundreds of city towers, enemy towers, and beacon towers have all been destroyed.
to destruction.
The two sides are constantly fighting, and almost every piece of land here is buried with the bones of soldiers who shed their blood to protect their country.
Among them, the Great People's Army sacrificed more than 50,000 people, and of the 30,000 disciples from the World Association who came to support, not many were left.
Seeing the three disciples begging for mercy, Xiong Ba was furious in his heart.
He ordered Qin Shuang to fight passively and preserve his strength. He did not expect that this great disciple who had always obeyed him would dare to disobey his master's orders.
"Welcome to the martial arts uncle!"
But without the sacrifices of the Tianxiahui disciples, Shanhaiguan might have been broken through at this time, so all the generals guarding the gate saluted sincerely and their voices were rumbling.
"We are all serving the country and the people, so why should we be more polite? Please get up quickly!"
Xiongba immediately showed his closeness and helped them up one by one.
This feeling is truly twofold: on the one hand, I feel sorry for the 30,000 elite members of the world, but on the other hand, I feel happy that I have established prestige in the army.
"The Lord of the World will correct evil and return to righteousness. There is no greater good than that!"
In comparison, the other group of people are not satisfied with it.
Led by a group of Taoist monks, ten sects from the Central Plains also came over to pay their respects.
"Zhenren Ziyang! Master Buxu!"
Xiongba smiled brightly and said hello to the leaders of the two factions, while murderous intent was brewing in his heart.
Eight of the ten major sects were all defeated by Wu Ming Yi Sword and were almost half abolished. However, Wudang Shaolin is still the leader of the White Way, Taishan Beidou, and has a profound foundation.
Especially Wudang, because Zhu Di claimed to be the incarnation of the Zhenwu Emperor, he built the Forbidden City in the north and Wudang in the south, and his strength increased greatly. He has surpassed Shaolin and became the leader of the ten sects. The world will want to take over the Central Plains. This is a difficult place to move.
A stumbling block.
"His Royal Highness King Xi!"
Of course, some people were happy and some were sad, and vice versa. The two masters of Wudang and Shaolin soon came to see King Xi's chariot.
"You two seniors don't need to be polite!"
King Tan personally greeted him, clasping his fists with Jianghu etiquette, which he was quite familiar with.
When he was young, he traveled around the country, visited Mount Song and Mount Taiyue, and competed with disciples of the two sects using Mingshen martial arts. His humble attitude and outstanding talent won unanimous recognition from his superiors and subordinates.
Of course, recognition is recognition. It is impossible for a sect like Wudang Shaolin to help rebellious officials and traitors.
If King Yin ascends the throne and becomes emperor with the support of hundreds of officials, the two factions will be happy to see it happen. If King Yin wants to rebel, they will definitely stay behind closed doors.
But this time, the attitudes of the two factions were unprecedentedly enthusiastic, and many disciples even looked at King Xin with respect.
Because ten days ago, King Tan asked for orders at the court meeting to come to Shanhaiguan to supervise the war. He would retreat to Japan within a month and issued a military order. Otherwise, he would demote himself to the common people!
As soon as this statement came out, the officials were shocked, then overjoyed, and all agreed.
This was not because he was bribed by King Xin, but because the emperor also said that he wanted to conquer personally.
When all the officials heard this, they were almost scared to death.
In the first personal expedition, the Tumu Fortress suffered a disastrous defeat, and then went outside the Great Wall to destroy Mongolia for half a year, which caused great distress to the Ming Dynasty. Although the result was good, will it come back this time?
What if this guy goes to the island to destroy Japan?
Instead of being frightened, it would be better to let King Yin issue the military order, so that the country and the people will be safe, and if there is a failure, King Yin will take the blame anyway.
However, they had a good idea, but the emperor angrily criticized him for delaying the war. In the end, a group of civil servants headed by Yu Qian vouched for King Tan, and King Tan was allowed to leave the capital officially, with martial arts Bo Xiongba assisting him.
"The Wushen Jue Palace Gui Chaluo, more than 40,000 people have been killed in battle..."
"More than half of the Japanese Ninja Regiment were killed..."
"The antidote to the Nine Turns Heart Pill has not yet been found."
"Every time Jue Wushen goes into battle, our army is unable to resist and suffers heavy casualties."
Naturally, King Tan took over the command of Shanhaiguan, and various battle reports were presented to the generals and martial arts figures.
"So I, the Ming Dynasty, have already gained the upper hand, and what I'm worried about is absolute godlessness and despicable measurement?"
King Tan listened carefully and quickly figured out the general idea.
Since ancient times, the casualties of the attacking side have been far greater than those of the defending side.
Shanhaiguan is the most powerful pass in the world, and of course it is no exception.
On the frontal battlefield, Japan had the upper hand at first, but when the elites of the Tianxiahui and the ten major sects arrived, the situation was restored. However, Japan's methods were too despicable, such as the royal family's secret medicine, the Nine-turn Heart Pill, which can make people lose their mind.
By nature, one must obey orders.
As early as a few years ago, Japan began to infiltrate. So far, many people in the Ming Dynasty's defenders have been secretly given the Nine-turn Heart Pill, and even martial arts figures from the ten sects have been tricked.
After months of hard fighting, the soldiers were already extremely exhausted, and they had to be constantly on guard against the betrayal of those around them. How could they not be frightened and have low morale?
As for the other great enemy, it is Jue Wushen, the master of Wushen Jue Palace.
King Yin noticed that when he mentioned Juewu God, Master Buxu whispered the name of Buddha.
Shaolin has four great magical skills. It is said that if you practice to the extreme, you can rival gods and demons. Among them, the Twelve Levels of the Golden Bell Cover is one of them.
Twenty years ago, Jue Wushen suffered a setback outside Shanhaiguan. After learning from the painful experience, he sneaked into the Central Plains to learn martial arts. He somehow secretly learned it and passed the first ten levels. After further improving it, he had the immortal golden body he has today.
Immortal golden bodies, invulnerable to swords and guns, leading the troops, invincible, there are thousands of Ming soldiers and martial arts masters who died in the hands of Jue Wushen!
In other words, he alone caused one-tenth of the casualties, and the losses caused by this were inestimable!
King Xun's eyes flashed: "According to this, as long as Jue Wushen and his ghost Rakshasa are destroyed, Japan will retreat?"
The expression of the general guarding the pass changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, think twice, if our army holds on to Shanhaiguan, Japan will definitely be defeated!"
After more than half a year of stalemate, the two sides are actually fighting for their staying power.
The Central Plains is so vast and rich in resources, how can the small country of Japan be able to compare with it?
The generals guarding the border are also experienced in the battlefield. It is expected that Japan will be unable to continue if it persists for three or four months. As long as it persists, the battle will be won.
So when he heard that King Xi had issued a military order, his heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, the prince was young and full of energy.
"Don't worry, I have already made plans and won't rush ahead because of greed for success!"
King Xi waved his hand: "Master Ziyang, Master Fuxu, I have something important to discuss with you, please stay here!"
The others withdrew. Although the two Taoist masters were confused, they still stood still and waited.
King Xi waited for a moment, then opened his lips slightly, and then transmitted a secret message: "Two seniors, have you ever heard of the Innate Qiankun Kung Fu?"
"That is an ancient magical skill, created by Emperor Xuanyuan. It transports the power of Yin and Yang, the universe, and absorbs the energy of heaven and earth for one's own use. It has been lost long ago..."
Master Ziyang said slowly, and he saw King Xun's palms clasped together, and the image of the Eight Diagrams appeared all over his body. He was strong and soft at the same time, and he was clearly the best in the universe, infinite and infinite.
"Amitabha, Your Highness is so happy to have inherited this magical power!"
Master Buxu looked pleased when he saw it.
"It's a pity that Gu is so young and has low skills that he can't use the Seventh Heaven and Earth to shake the heavens and earth. Otherwise, if he uses this to cause celestial phenomena and natural disasters, Japan can be destroyed with a snap of his fingers. How many soldiers of our Ming Dynasty and the lives of many heroes of the martial arts can be saved.
!”
King Tan sighed with emotion, and suddenly bowed: "Two seniors, I have an unkind invitation!"
"Your Highness! You must not do this!"
The two of them were shocked and quickly turned aside to give way.
King Tan refused to stand up, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "For the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the common people of the world, please two seniors to lend a helping hand to this king, and work together to create a shocking move!"
