The man sitting at the bottom left raised his head and asked:
"When will we do it?"
The ugly man tapped the armrest three times with his fingers and said:
"After three days, is there any problem?"
The man shook his head:
"No problem, three days is enough."
The ugly man looked at the green woman on the lower right and said:
"You will contact the subordinates in the Holy Cult later. We will gather in the Holy Palace in three days and prepare to take action!"
"yes!"
Ye Chen didn't know Xuanzhang's plan. In fact, even if he knew, it would be useless. It's not far from Henan to Kunlun Mountains' Temple of the Gods. It would take more than a month for ordinary people to walk on horseback. It would take more than ten days for martial arts masters to travel through mountains and rivers with light skills.
, even if he knew it, he still wouldn't be able to get there.
Moreover, he couldn't get away at all now, because as he unified the entire territory of Henan, he attracted the attention of the Yuan people. Now the Yuan people had deployed troops and generals on the Henan border to prepare for action, and he couldn't get away at all.
Three days passed by in a flash, and Ye Chen was still discussing with his subordinates how to deal with the Yuan people's encirclement and suppression. The mysterious opportunity had gathered all the descendants of the Demon Sect's helm, as well as the recruited subordinates, to blockade the Holy Palace.
The Holy Palace is where the leader of the Demon Cult is located. Although the ability of this generation of Demon Cult leader is average compared to the previous ones, he is still the leader of the Demon Cult. His cultivation level is only inferior to that of Shenhui Guoshi. He is much stronger than the average early innate master. Mysterious opportunity
It will not be easy to force him to abdicate.
"You seal the Holy Palace and don't let anyone in. I'll talk to the leader personally!"
The ugly man waved his hand, straightened his clothes, and strode into the unguarded Holy Palace.
.............
Three major events happened in the world this year. The first major event was that the Mongolian national master destroyed Buddhism and led troops to besiege the Shaolin Temple. As a result, Master Duxin appeared and swept everything with his indestructible body, killing many masters of the Tantric Vajra Sect.
, forcing the Shenhui Imperial Master to flee without a fight and recruit tens of thousands of troops.
The second major event was that the young leader of the Demon Sect forced the palace, killed the original leader and succeeded him as the new leader. However, the new leader was not recognized by all the branches of the Demon Sect, except for the Heavenly Demonic Way and the Netherworld Hall, the Sanyin Hall, and the Heavenly Hall among the six halls.
In addition to the Ghost Hall announcing its support, the Sun Moon Hall, the Five Elements Hall, the Changsheng Hall, as well as the God-killing Way and the Killing Way among the three paths did not recognize the status of the new leader.
In addition, the previous leader left a testament to the Three Paths and Six Halls before the time came. Anyone who can kill the evil disciples who deceived the master and destroyed the ancestors will be the new leader of the Holy Religion.
Ye Chen had received this order. He had received this order not long after the young leader of the Demon Cult killed his master. It was the former leader who had been under house arrest who leaked the news to the Holy Palace before the mysterious opportunity was launched, but he did not have time to deal with it for the time being.
, he can only let it go for now. His main focus now is to gather all his strength to defeat the Mongolian army.
This is the third major event. Not long after he announced the rebellion and unified Henan, Meng Yuan responded immediately. It was probably due to the promotion of Shenhui Guoshi. The army assembled extremely quickly. In less than a month, a total of 110,000 troops were mobilized from various places.
The Mongolian army invaded Henan in three routes, aiming directly at Kaifeng.
Yes, it was not Pingtian Fort but Kaifeng. After capturing Kaifeng, Ye Chen immediately moved the Pingtian General's Mansion to Kaifeng, the ancient capital of the former dynasty.
Fortunately, Kaifeng had already been plundered once by the Yuan people. When the Northern Song Dynasty royal family fled south, they had already moved away a large number of precious treasures, and they were plundered by the Yuan people. Now their value has been greatly reduced in the eyes of the Yuan people. The Yuan people did not station many troops here.
Otherwise, it would not be so easy for him to win.
Ye Chen moved General Pingtian's mansion over, and immediately sent civilian men to repair the damaged city walls, stockpile grain and grass, and prepare the army for war. He planned to meet the main force of the Yuan army coming from Xiangyang at the foot of Kaifeng City.
After the Yuan people conquered Xiangyang, they established a southern expedition camp there and gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to confront the Southern Song army in the south of the Yangtze River. The marshal was Boyan, but he wanted to take charge of the southern expedition camp. This time it was Boyan who commanded the army.
Zhang Hongfan, the general under his command, led an army of 50,000 to Kaifeng City.
In addition, the Yuan people also assembled an army of 30,000 from the north of the Yellow River to attack Luoyang, and an army of nearly 30,000 from the direction of the Huaihe River Basin in the southeast to attack Xuzhou.
More than half a month later, the city of Kaifeng was tightly surrounded by Yuan soldiers. Ye Chen stood at the top of the city, holding on to the female wall, watching the Mongolian cavalry running around the city and kicking up bursts of smoke, and then looked at the city.
The defender above shook his head.
Although they have received formal training, the soldiers under his command are still far behind Mongolia's most elite cavalry in terms of military appearance and combat effectiveness. In a head-on battle in the wild, an army of 100,000 cannot defeat 10,000 Mongolian elite cavalry. If he had not only defended the city, he would have long ago
Just leave as soon as possible.
Mongolia is not good at siege, so among the 50,000 troops, there are only 15,000 truly elite cavalry, and the remaining 35,000 are infantry, most of which are soldiers surrendered by the Northern Song Dynasty. In addition, there are nearly 100,000 logistics civilians.
They are all captured Han people. At critical moments, they can be armed and driven up to serve as cannon fodder. With the Mongols' peeing habits, they will 100% do this if their siege fails.
Therefore, they need to face more than 50,000 troops, possibly more than 100,000.
"How's it going? Are you sure?"
The descendant, the one-armed old man Hongfei, came up from behind him and asked as he looked at the Mongolian cavalry showing off their force below the city.
Ye Chen put his hands behind his back and smiled:
"What do you think?"
Hongfei turned around and glanced at the muscles wrapped around his arms that were thicker than his own thighs, like pythons, and said with envy:
"Tsk tsk tsk, you have an indestructible Vajra body. This time you have to live to bring this indestructible Vajra body and unparalleled divine power back to the real body. You can basically guarantee that you will be admitted to a top university and your future will be bright!"
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said nothing. He just looked down with a cold light flashing in his eyes:
"This battle must be won, and it must be won quickly. As long as we defeat this army first, the siege of Luoyang and Xuzhou will be lifted immediately, and Youda's space and time can be won. The mysterious machine is one step slower than us. Wait for them to do it.
We are ready to start an uprising. We have already gained a huge advantage and we cannot fight against them until we have paid our dues."
The expression on the one-armed old man's face became serious and he said:
"Xuanzhan acted a little recklessly this time, killing his master without being fully prepared."
Ye Chen smiled and said:
"Isn't this good? They are now starting to alert the various factions within the Demonic Cult. Without the support of most of the factions, he, the leader of the Holy Cult, has a reputation that is not justified. I will go to the Holy Cult when I defeat the Mongolian army and free up my hands.
The Palace of the Gods, under the orders of the former leader, killed those who deceived the master and destroyed the ancestors, thereby taking the demonic sect into its hands."
"Hahaha, then I wish you success soon. By then you will not only be a Shaolin monk, but also a demon sect...and so on."
Hongfei's face suddenly turned strange and said:
"If you become the leader of the Demon Cult, will you be expelled from the Shaolin Temple?"
Ye Chen shrugged:
"With my martial arts skills and power, they will just pretend they didn't see or hear."
