On the first day of December, Mozong South Road first captured Cheshi and opened the way to attack Loulan. Three days later, Mozong North Road captured Ronglu and reached Qiemo.
Qiemo is already an empty city. Since the demon sect's army came all the way to slaughter the city, the merchants and people of the Western Regions have completely given up their illusions. No matter how reluctant they are, they can only leave their homes. Therefore, no chickens or dogs are heard along the way.
It's like no man's land.
After the armies from the north and the south joined forces at Qiemo, they marched towards Loulan in a mighty manner. It was two hundred miles from Qiemo to Loulan, and more than 200,000 demon sect troops marched all the way for five days.
The joint command dispatched the Nangui series of unmanned flying instruments to accompany the reconnaissance at high altitudes, paying close attention to the progress of the opponent's army. It was during this march that the command truly figured out how to supply the Demon Sect.
Although the photos taken at high altitude are a bit blurry, they still reveal the magic of the Demon Sect. During the sacrifice hosted by several black-robed monks, the entire process of opening, transporting materials, and closing a large teleportation circle was recorded in detail.
This is a Taoist method that neither Buddhism nor Taoism has mastered. The Joint Command is paying close attention to this teleportation array of the Demon Sect. After watching more than ten videos in a row, they found that some of them are similar to storage magic weapons, which can only teleport the dead.
Living things cannot be teleported, which makes the higher-ups of Buddhism and Taoism feel a little more relaxed.
When the first Demon Sect army arrived twenty miles west of Loulan City, the joint command headquarters distributed relevant photos and some video materials to all battalions and departments.
The Burma Heavy Assault Battalion was organized for all soldiers to watch on December 25th. The person responsible for the on-site explanation was Qu Fenghe, who was already familiar with the magic sect.
Qu Fenghe played the photos one by one, telling the soldiers about the cruelty of the Demon Sect. The burned houses, the corpses hanging on the wooden poles, the blood accumulated in the ponds, and the headless common people all made the soldiers see...
The anger in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.
Especially when the video of the Demon Sect driving the common people to attack Dawan City was shown, roars erupted in the square, the crowd was furious, and the call for battle resounded throughout the military camp.
That night, Matsuda Kenhide suppressed the anger in his chest, spread out his pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Xizi:
"Dear Xizi, today the Chief of Staff showed us the images of the Demon Sect burning, killing, and looting. Their atrocities of beasts made me unable to calm down for a long time. As Qu Lianshi said, they are not human beings, they are a group of locusts, and they are civilized
Destroyers are the enemies of this world. I am proud to be able to fight against such a vicious enemy..."
There was a messenger in the camp reporting to the soldiers: "Your Majesty, the Song Army Gate wants you to go quickly to discuss matters."
Matsuda Xianxiu rushed to the commander's tent and saw three Taoist monks in the tent. Song Xiong introduced him: "Xianxiu, these three are masters Liu Chujiu, master Qianxun and master Chen Mianzhu. They
They are Taoist masters assigned to your third battalion by the Joint Command to strengthen your strength."
One big refiner, two refiners, such a configuration made Matsuda Kenhide very satisfied. But after serving as a battalion commander for a long time, he was used to comparing himself with others, so he looked for an opportunity to quietly ask: "Military Gate, how are the first and second battalions equipped?"
of?"
Song Xiong said: "The first battalion is equipped with seven-star monks, two masters, and five masters. The second battalion is equipped with Tantai Grand Master and Wang Zhipeng Master. Your third battalion has four, why are you not satisfied?"
Matsuda Kenhide scratched his head and said: "Did you make a mistake in your calculation? There are only three of us..."
Next to Chen Mianzhu, a white snake suddenly emerged from his sleeve, spitting out a message: "I am the fourth, young conductor, do you look down on me?" Matsuda Kenhide was startled.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month of the 29th year of Longqing, all the Demon Sect's army arrived in Loulan, and the camps were in a row, one after another, dozens of miles away.
The Intelligence Department used more than a dozen Nangui unmanned aerial vehicles to take photos. Based on the number of camps, the total number of enemy troops was calculated to be between 700,000 and 800,000, which was higher than previously estimated.
At this point, the total strength of the Buddhist and Taoist coalition forces has exceeded 520,000, including 230,000 Xixia military commanders, 120,000 Northern Yuan cavalry, 60,000 Tibetan troops, 80,000 Western Region coalition forces, and 30,000 Ming troops.
The Ming army only had 30,000 troops, but in terms of combat arrangements, it was responsible for the main attack mission.
Huang Bingyue assigned tasks at the pre-war layout meeting: "Tomorrow's decisive battle, our army will take the initiative to attack. Regardless of whether the enemy joins the fight or not, the combat steps will be the same. Of course, I judge that the enemy has a high probability of going to fight. The battle plan drawn up by the headquarters is divided into two parts.
The first stage was completed by the Ming army. Zhang Lue commanded 360 Wooden Ox self-propelled Fulu artillery to be deployed on the second line, taking the lead in firing. If an enemy formation was encountered, it would be directly covered by artillery fire. If the enemy could not come out, they would be smashed.
His big camp. Attack one camp after another until it is penetrated."
Zhang Lue clasped his fists: "You have the order!"
Huang Bingyue added: "Song Xiong commanded three heavy-armed assault battalions as the first-line military formation, supplemented by one hundred and twenty Liuma self-propelled fire dragons. After Zhang Lue's artillery fired a base, Song Xiong attacked a camp.
.The method of infantry and artillery coordination was practiced by you during the military exercises in Blackwater City, so I won’t go into details."
Song Xiong accepted the military order.
Huang Bingyue added: "Du Xingyan's Marine Corps serves as the main offensive reserve. The Marine Corps will go to the front to chew the bones that Song Xiong can't chew. In the main attack direction, Duanmu Heavenly Master, Tao Dazhenren, Tieguan Taoist, and Pan Yuanjun will join the battle and take charge.
Deal with the enemy white-robed monk."
"After the ground battle, Zhou Keli led the Thunder Strike Battalion of the Air and Space Guard to fight. The target was the enemy's Chinese army's camp. One hundred and thirty-six lightning strike flying magic weapons. This is the entire property of our Air and Space Guard. We must use it well. The enemy's Chinese army
After the main camp was destroyed, they continued to attack the camp in the rear. Four great monks, Chen Datian, Feng Daren, Pan Datian, and Jiao Yuanjun, as well as two Buddhas, Master Xuansheng and Master Wucheng, six in total, followed the action of the Thunder Strike Camp.
You don’t need to consider the threat from the great monks in Zong’s white robes, they will be responsible for intercepting it.”
"The airborne battalion will be dispatched at Yin time tomorrow, and will parachute into Qiemo city at Mao time, seize Qiemo, and cut off the enemy's return route. After occupying Qiemo, the transport battalion will transport Wu Huawen's 10,000 steps of Ba Zi to Qiemo, and return them to Wei Zhizhen Tianshi and
Grand Master Lu Xixing is in command. In the direction of Qiemo, Grand Lama Yundan and Grand Master Sun Biyun will cooperate with you."
"In the second stage of the battle, after defeating the Demon Sect army, the Tubo army took over from the Ming army to cover up the front. The Beiyuan cavalry was on the north side, and the Xia army commanders attacked simultaneously on the south side to drive the Demon Sect coalition forces westward. Pay attention to the rhythm when covering up the attack.
, when encountering a stubborn enemy formation, call for air support from the Lightning Strike Battalion, or request self-propelled Fulu artillery coverage from Zhang Lue's headquarters, and be careful to reduce losses. Those who cooperate with the South Road are mainly the Buddhas of Tianlongyuan, and those who cooperate with the North Road are mainly Beiyuan and Tubo Si.
Buddha. In the end, we completely annihilated the remaining enemy forces under Qiemo City!"
The generals agreed loudly and went to prepare.
That night, in Loulan City, Zhao Ran looked at the trust book that Zhou Yunzhi had just sent from Lushan, and said to Xu Yun'ao: "Uncle Xu, the total trust last year was worth 16 billion. Calculated at 30%, I will invest in the Chaos Immortal Realm to open up forty-eight
It is estimated that various schools and pavilions will take the initiative to pledge 1.2 billion, which is 6 billion. There are ten places for Buddhism to move next year. I asked Tianlongyuan in advance, and the ones ranked are the first in the Bodhisattva realm and the Arahant realm.
Second Insight Wisdom, this is another two billion, totaling eight billion, and the Chaos Immortal Realm will expand to 53,000 square kilometers."
Xu Yun'ao asked: "I heard that Senior Brother Song Yangshi is planning to move to the Chaos Immortal Realm?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "I talked to Feifu two days ago. This time the attack on Hedao failed, and he has no time. However, he is still very optimistic. He plans to prepare for ten years after entering the Chaos Immortal Realm, and then retreat to attack Hedao again.
"
Xu Yun'ao nodded: "With this confidence and determination, we should be able to do it next time."
Zhao Ran asked: "You succeeded in attacking Hedao for the second time. Can these experiences be passed on to Song Tianshi?"
Xu Yun'ao said: "After this battle, I will go back to Lushan to find him and talk to him... Zhiran, when you were in Dawan, you were alone in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Is the cause and effect serious? Will you follow the path of Master Shao?
The old road?”
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "What I cultivate is merit. I kill demons from the demon sect. I gain great merit and break through the realm on the spot. Therefore, I don't feel anything wrong with the cause and effect. But this way of practice I follow.
It is also the only one, and there is no previous experience to follow. I don’t know whether it has any impact. I can only say, what if there is cause and effect? In order to prevent the Demon Sect from advancing eastward, protect Chinese civilization, and protect the Chaos Fairyland, the disciples will not hesitate to do so.
This body! Last year I heard Zhenren Zhou say that a hundred thousand years of being controlled by others is not as good as ten thousand years of freedom. Even if I can't ascend in the future, I can go to the Chaos Immortal Realm. Ten thousand years is enough."
Xu Yun'ao was silent for a long time and said: "Ten thousand years is indeed enough... I will not hold back in the war tomorrow. Zhi Ran said it well. In order to protect China, why would I sacrifice my life?"
On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the 29th year of Longqing's reign, the entire Buddhist and Taoist army was dispatched and took the initiative to approach the Demon Sect's camp.
The demon army was a little surprised by this. They attacked for half a year, conquered dozens of countries, and fought all the way to Loulan. They never encountered an opponent who took the initiative to fight in the field. Unexpectedly, they finally encountered one. For a while, the sound of horns and golden drums was deafening.
The army quickly opened its tents and faced the Buddhist and Taoist coalition forces.
In the vast Gobi desert, the endless military formations of both sides stretched to the end of the world.
Song Xiong stood on horseback in the first row, wearing heavy rune armor and the iconic red cloak of the Ming army. He reined in his horse and turned around, looking at the 1,800 soldiers of the heavy assault battalion behind him. He wanted to say something.
But he couldn't say anything for a while. He just raised his right nose high, made a fist with his five fingers, and shouted: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious——"
Matsuda Kenhide drew his sword, pointed toward the sky, and shouted: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious——"
Liu Chujiu, Qian Xundaotong, Chen Miuzhu and Yu Jingzi on his arm beside him also loudly echoed: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious——"
The entire battalion of 600 assault soldiers, all wrapped in heavy armor, each holding a saber in their hands, shouted in unison. The first and second battalions followed closely behind, and the sound of "Wan Sheng" floated in the desert.
superior.
After a pause, in the rear army formation, Zhang Lue shouted: "China will be victorious——"
There were even more people who responded, and the news spread all over the country, including the Ming army on the eastern front, the Tubo army, the cavalry group on the northern front, and the Xixia military divisions on the southern front. Hundreds of thousands of people in the entire army shouted in unison, and the whole world was like rolling thunder.
A roar like:
"China is victorious, China is victorious—"
"China is victorious——"
"Huaxia——"
The sky suddenly darkened, and hundreds of lightning-strike flying magical weapons passed over Loulan City, loaded with various thunder talismans and magical weapons, and rolled toward the opposite side like dark clouds.
The spirit-gathering talismans on the three hundred and sixty wooden ox self-propelled talisman artillery flashed with dazzling light. The muzzles of the guns were slowly raised, and they were aimed straight ahead in rows.
A pure white Dawan horse emerged from the diagonal thorns and galloped forward along the military formation. Zhu Meng, the messenger monk on the horse, held a bloody banner and used his cultivation level that had just entered the Great Refiner Realm to greet the entire army.
Order:
"The Great Master of the Propaganda Order decrees that this battle will not be surrendered!"
The sound was so loud that it penetrated dozens of miles of battlefield, and the lingering sound lingered in the desert for thousands of years!
