It was precisely for this reason that King Bodo was extremely angry, so he killed the previous Western Turk Chuluo Khan. If he hadn't needed King Bailan to stabilize the situation of the remnants of the Tuyuhun clan, he would have wanted to brutally kill the man who was famous for his bravery and cunning.
King Bailan.
Therefore, compared with the European Crusades and last year's war between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks, Tuyuhun and the Getao tribe, everything that King Bodo is currently conducting in Gaochang City is a purely religious war. But religious wars are relatively
It is actually even more meaningless than a war launched for plunder. The dead will not bring any wealth or material to their living relatives, but will often bring pain and disaster.
King Bodo thought that his holy war had come to a successful end, but he did not know that because he captured Wang Junlin, there were more than 600 people in Gaochang City, including Wu San and Yu Bao, so his holy war had actually just begun.
…
…
There is a half-waning moon in the sky, and the night is as cold as ice.
Seven hundred Tibetans who made a living by doing business or doing small jobs in Gaochang City completed the transformation from ordinary people to warriors after putting on leather armor and holding scimitars.
All of them were holding scimitars in their hands, with ferocious expressions on their faces, looking like wolves at the brightly lit Nestorian Cross Temple not far away.
The celebrations there are still going on, and the Turks who believe in Nestorianism seem to be singing and dancing tirelessly. The temples are filled with butter lamps, emitting dots of light, which look like the Milky Way from a distance.
"It was the Turks who framed Master Shi Dao'an and burned Shifa Temple. The people in this Cross Temple are heretics. We will kill everyone here and then burn this dirty place." One of the leaders was a Tibetan.
The man's face was ferocious, and he spoke fiercely through gritted teeth. The others also had murderous intent on their faces, and there was even madness in their eyes. They were originally fanatical believers in Buddhism.
In the courtyard of the solemn and splendid Cross Temple, the Turks were holding a bonfire party, which looked a bit nondescript. This is why Bodo Dharma King preferred to let Han people become followers of Tianzun Dharma King. When he traveled in the Sui Dynasty, he saw Han people who were
How to worship various gods and Buddhas in temples and Taoist temples, that kind of solemn, sacred, polite and clean scene is what he yearns for, so when he reached a deal with Dugu Moyu of the Dugu family last year, his focus was no longer
They were these people in the Western Regions who were called barbarians by the Han people. His lifelong wish was to have Cross Temples open throughout the Sui Dynasty and to let the glory of Dharma King Tianzun spread throughout the Sui Dynasty.
In the Cross Temple, the Turks faintly heard the sound of many people running. A Turk with rich combat experience was suddenly startled. His many years of combat experience told him that a group of ambush soldiers were approaching quickly.
"Enemy attack!" the Turkic man roared, his voice so loud that it even covered up the high-pitched singing.
All the Turks woke up from the festive atmosphere in an instant and looked for the swords they had placed beside them. One Turkic warrior blew the horn right away.
The sound of footsteps became clearer and louder, and all the Turks looked angrily in the direction of the Cross Temple.
In this short period of time, they had made all preparations for battle.
With the help of the weak moonlight, the Turks vaguely saw a team of more than 500 people wielding scimitars, and they only had more than 100 people.
"They are the Tubo people, guarding the Cross Temple. The Dharma King Tianzun is watching us, kill them all." The leading Turks roared angrily, and advanced instead of retreating, rushing towards the Tubo people who rushed in, with other Turks following behind.
They screamed and rushed forward with swords. They were originally the most loyal followers of Nestorianism.
All the Turks knew that their numbers were too small compared to the other party, and by the time reinforcements arrived after hearing the sound of the horn, most of them were already dead. Everyone was thinking: "I will die in the Cross Temple today!"
In the dark night, the two groups of people collided head-on. The Turkic man who was the first to notice the enemy attack was very brave. Amid the screams, he cut off a Tibetan man who rushed to the front with a knife in half, and a fountain of blood spurted out.
The inertia carried the lower half of his body forward.
The Turkic man lowered his head and arched his back, just in time to dodge the sneak attack of a Tibetan man on the side. He roared and swung the machete tied to his hand to slash forward again.
Not far behind him, an old Turkic woman was stabbed in the stomach by a Tubo man with a cruel smile on her face. However, the woman held on to the Tubo man's knife and refused to let go, allowing a Turkic man next to her to stab the woman with a knife.
The heads of each Tibetan man were chopped off.
The sound of killing at the gate of Cross Temple was loud, and the screams were continuous.
The sound of the horn blown by the Turkic man earlier fell on the ears of King Bodo in the city lord's palace. He glanced gloomily at the Gaochang City guard Atro next to him, whose expression changed greatly. The latter quickly ordered the deployment of troops to support, but immediately
Then four or five more horn sounds were heard from other places in the city where Turks lived, or from the Cross Temple, or from the direction of the cattle and sheep pens.
The same thing is happening in more than ten places in the city. The Turks were caught off guard and were killed with corpses everywhere, but they are still fighting because they know that the final victory will definitely be theirs, but only if they can hold on to the end.
The arrival of reinforcements.
The Turks are naturally the most powerful in Gaochang, but half of the army is usually stationed near the city lord's palace, and the other half is stationed at the four city gates. There is a group of Turkic soldiers patrolling the city during the day, but they are gone at night.
At this time, a riot broke out in the city, and the Turkic troops at the city gate did not dare to mobilize. The cavalry from the city lord's palace could only provide emergency support to various places. However, their arrival had already been anticipated by those loyal Buddhist believers. Even if they were not expected,
Yu Bao and others will also find ways to remind them.
Therefore, when the Turkic cavalry rushed in, they were first greeted by a rain of arrows like locusts. A wave of Turkic cavalry was caught off guard and shot off their horses. However, after the Turks did not hesitate to lose money, they charged forward desperately.
, the powerful advantage of the Turkic cavalry came into play. After several rounds of charges, the Buddhists who participated in the riot suffered heavy losses. They could only use nearby houses, streets and other terrain that was not conducive to cavalry combat to fight with the Turkic cavalry.
In the darkness, Yu Bao led his men to set fires everywhere, and the shouts of killing spread throughout the city. King Bodo and Atro did not know how many people participated in the riot, so they continued to send reinforcements to the places where the shouts of killing and the fires were happening.
When there were only about a thousand people left in the city lord's palace, Wu San led 500 Sui soldiers personally trained by Wang Junlin in various unnoticed angles and shadows near the city lord's palace and finally took action. Each of them was as agile as a leopard.
, climbing over the city walls of the city lord's palace from all directions.
There was a riot in the city, and the thousand Turkic cavalry left behind naturally had to be more vigilant. Therefore, although each of the five hundred Sui soldiers was trained by Wang Junlin to be masters of stealth, it was inevitable that some of them were discovered, and a brutal fighting began immediately.
The Sui soldiers who were not discovered started setting fires everywhere in the city lord's palace as planned to attract Turkic soldiers. While causing chaos in the city lord's palace, they also began to look for Wang Junlin.
Wu San led the fifty selected masters to capture four tongues in a row, tortured them out of Wang Junlin's hiding place with extremely cruel methods, and then killed him there.
…
…
In order to achieve the effect of complete silence, King Bodo had people waste a lot of effort when building the small dark room. At least the sound insulation was very good. The sound of killing outside was loud, but the inside of the small dark room was still as dead as usual.
However, today was the twenty-fifth day, and Wang Junlin finally had hallucinations before his eyes. He even wanted to hit the wall with all his strength several times.
"Disciple, it's not too late to be your master!"
Late that night, he suddenly heard someone talking, but he ignored it, thinking it was an illusion.
"You kid won't really be fooled by that bald donkey!" Chang Kuzi's voice came again.
Wang Junlin's body was shaken, and he was agitated. He looked around, but saw no one or the iron door being opened. He couldn't help but open his red eyes and murmured to himself: "This hallucination is so real."
However, Chang Kuzi's angry voice sounded again: "You idiot, raise your head."
Wang Junlin stood on the stage in astonishment. He saw a face, a face with a withered face. Someone had cut out a square hole on top of it at some time, just big enough for one person to pass through. The edge of the hole was as smooth and neat as if it had been cut with a knife.
Wang Junlin was immediately ecstatic and his eyes were bright, thinking that you, a Taoist priest with a bad nose, had finally appeared.
Then, all he felt was a blur in front of his eyes, and long withered seeds were hitting him straight from the Biding Cave. He only felt a pain in the middle of his eyebrows, and then lost consciousness.
Changkuzi fell down and sat cross-legged across from Wang Junlin. The two faced each other, almost touching each other, and their breathing could be heard. This was because Changkuzi was so thin.
Chang Kuzi did not speak, but looked at Wang Junlin up and down with stern eyes. Then he suddenly grabbed Wang Junlin's wrist, and a trace of Chang Kuzi's inner energy entered Wang Junlin's body, following the routine that Wang Junlin usually practiced.
After the meridian route ran around for a circle, Changkuzi withdrew this inner energy, with a look of joy and excitement on his face.
He took off the heart-shaped blood jade from Wang Junlin's chest and murmured to himself: "Senior Master can use the method of "cultivating the way to nourish the heart" to break through that barrier, so I can do the same. The furnace used by Senior Master is innate.
My body, God has given me an innate body, so how can I waste it? Even if I narrowly escape death, it doesn’t matter."
"boom!"
Chang Kuzi's palm gently landed on Wang Junlin's forehead. Wang Junlin, who was already in a coma, shook his body and immediately entered a semi-conscious state. In the daze, he only felt that his whole body was hot and cold, and there were many illusions in front of his eyes.
All the bones and flesh in his body seemed to be about to explode, and he was sweating like pulp.
"boom!"
His body shook again, and Wang Junlin completely passed out.
But not long after, Wang Junlin woke up from his coma.
