Before the shrine completely fell back to the ground, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu plundered the shrine.
Before leaving, Qi Xuansu also took away the dim metal sun disk. This can be regarded as an old habit developed over the years, always subconsciously collecting some trophies.
As soon as the two of them left the shrine, all the flames of the shrine had been extinguished and they fell into a hole that led directly to the ground. They could be said to have gone back and forth from where they came.
There was a rumbling sound and smoke and dust were everywhere.
As the "sun" set, the Taoist warriors who had just ignited hope were completely in despair. Except for a few who were still trapped and fighting, most of them had lost their fighting spirit and almost sat there waiting to die.
The Taoist army successfully entered the ruins of Jiuju City.
The offensive and defensive battle of Jiuju City finally came to an end.
In terms of high-end combat power, the Zunbo faction was almost completely defeated. The noble Jishou Palace was captured. One Jing-rank priest, two Ming-rank priests, Hieizan Sosen died in the battle, and the Koka ninja Sarutobi Masanishi was unknown. There were countless deaths and injuries among the shrine warriors, high-level priests, high-level priests, and ordinary priests under him.
This was only accomplished by Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.
It can be said that the two men penetrated Jiuju City's defense line with their swords.
This battle alone was enough for the two of them to become famous in Fenglinzhou.
When the two returned to the command post of Jia Shen Ling Guan, although Jia Shen Ling Guan did not apologize directly for the sake of his face, he still expressed euphemistically that a hero comes from a young age. When it comes to understanding people, he is far inferior to the real person in charge of the army. He will Personally ask for credit from the real person in charge of the army for the two of them.
This can be regarded as surrender in disguise.
The dignified first-grade spiritual officer took the initiative to lower his stance. Naturally, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu could not say anything more. It was better to dissolve enemies than to end them. This page was over.
In addition to the complete defeat of the high-end combat power, the bottom army of the Zunping Faction was not much better.
If we don’t count the casualties of Prime Minister Toyotomi on the Daomen side, then the main casualties are fifty black armored heavy cavalry and more than two hundred men in black. The biggest consumption is probably all kinds of ammunition. If you don’t have money, you can only Use human lives to fill it. With money, casualties can be greatly reduced.
The Rogue Warriors were nearly wiped out. More than half of the 40,000-strong army was killed. The reason why they did not retreat immediately was not because the Rogue Warriors were determined. The main reason was that this was not a traditional battlefield.
If a battle is set up on the plain, how many people die, and whether it is better or worse, can be roughly judged at a glance. If there are too many people dead and the situation is too disadvantageous, as long as someone escapes first, it is easy to form a large-scale attack
Retreat.
But this time it was not a frontal fight. These 40,000 troops were distributed throughout Jiuju City and hidden in bunkers. They could not detect the situation of others at all. They could only hear the whistling of the shells overhead and the explosion. The sound is endless, and what the eyes can see is just a narrow line of sky above the head, but it is impossible to blindly follow others.
Furthermore, psychological breakdown also takes time. From the beginning of the war to the end of the war, the time is not long. Many people have been sent away for nine days before they reach the limit of their psychological endurance.
This is also very different from traditional warfare. It lacks a lot of step-by-step processes. Especially when firearms are used against cold weapons, it is easy to be killed with a hammer without warning, instead of being blunted one after another like in the past.
Knife cuts flesh.
As for the 20,000 casualties caused in such a short period of time, the dense artillery in Daomen was only one reason. The more important reason was that the combat concepts of the Daoist warriors were backward, or they did not know how to deal with such intensive bombardment.
Although they already knew how to find bunkers, they did not know how to disperse. They still followed the idea of dealing with fire cannons, often dozens or hundreds of people gathered in one place, and then a cannonball went over and rose into the sky at the same time. This allowed Daomen to achieve such a great success
The results of the battle.
If it were a Western army familiar with firearms warfare, they would definitely deploy their defenses in a dispersed manner. One shot might only be able to kill one or two people, but there would never be such a result.
More than 10,000 people were frightened by this battle and chose to surrender and become prisoners.
Since the Taoist sect prides itself on being civilized, it will not engage in trapping, killing, and surrendering soldiers. Therefore, a prisoner-of-war camp was established on the spot, which was screened and resettled by Prime Minister Toyotomi. Among them, the bandit leaders who were burdened with blood debts were executed on the spot. They were kidnapped and taken away.
Those who have no choice but to join the bandits can be released immediately, or be absorbed into the Prime Minister's army as a supplement. Those who are neither good nor bad, and who cannot be identified for the time being, will be punished with labor, responsible for cleaning the battlefield, burying corpses, and cleaning up ruins.
, building fortifications, etc.
There were still some stragglers who took advantage of the chaos to escape. There were not many of them, so Prime Minister Toyotomi was responsible for annihilating them.
The Taoist army would not stop here, and without even having time to rest for a while, they had already set off and entered the territory of Anong County. Under the command of Jiashen Lingguan, they continued to pursue the fleeing Taoist army and fought with the airborne bell.
Lushan's Jiachen Lingguan unit formed a flanking attack, striving to completely eat up the Taoist army before it entered Sanchong County.
In the final battle of the February offensive, in addition to Qingweizhen, Daomen
In addition to personally taking command and overviewing the overall situation, a total of three first-grade Lingguan were dispatched, namely Jia Shen Ling Guan, Jia Chen Ling Guan, and Ding Wei Ling Guan, each leading an army. Among them, Ding Wei Ling Guan was led by the Fire Gun Troops.
Paired with heavy infantry, they are good at positional warfare and are responsible for blocking reinforcements. The Jiashen Lingguan Department has concentrated most of its artillery, focusing on attacking fortresses. The Jiachen Lingguan Department has concentrated most of its Xuanjia heavy cavalry, using mobile
Lord.
As for the flying boats, they are coordinated by the camp.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu did not follow the army to Annan County to continue chasing the Taoist army, but stayed in Yizhi County to take charge of the aftermath.
Speaking of the aftermath, naturally the two of them were not asked to screen the prisoners of war or clean up the battlefield. The main concern was the special prisoner Jixiang Palace.
She is not only the shrine maiden of Ise Shrine, but also the concubine of the Houlinzhou royal family. If used properly, she can play a role in winning people's hearts.
Jiashen Lingguan understood this, but he had to rush to Anon County to continue chasing the Taoist faction, so he had no time to take care of the Jixiang Palace.
Li Zhuyu specifically asked Master Qingwei for instructions. Master Qingwei instructed Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu to escort Jixiang Palace to Yoshida City. He would visit Yoshida City in person soon and summon Jixiang Palace.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu took the Jixiang Palace on the road, just like the policemen who escorted prisoners to the army in the storybook.
Ever since the Zhang family established Zhang Yuelu as the third-generation leader, Zhang Yuelu suddenly became rich. In the blink of an eye, the rich man was no longer the poor girl who lived with Qi Xuansu.
According to Qi Xuansu's observation, the Heavenly Master only gave one sumeru object on the surface, which was the brocade bag around Zhang Yuelu's waist. In fact, there were many other things in the brocade bag.
I saw Zhang Yuelu taking out a small boat from the brocade bag hanging at his waist. The boat was about eight minutes long from head to tail and about two millimeters high. The middle cabin was open and covered with a bamboo canopy.
Zhang Yuelu threw the boat out, and the boat swelled up in the wind. When it landed, it was no different from an ordinary boat.
It is recorded in "Shiyi Ji" that Zulong was fond of immortals, and some people from Wanqu arrived in a snail boat. The boat was shaped like a snail and sank to the bottom of the sea without being soaked by water. It was called "Lengbo Boat".
The three of them boarded the boat together, Zhang Yuelu sat at the bow, Qi Xuansu sat at the stern, and Ji Xianggong sat between them, facing Zhang Yuelu.
There is no boat on the boat, the boat is on its own.
First we sailed on land, and then sailed into the Yi'an River not far away.
There were fishing fires on the river. Someone saw this scene and just wanted to step forward to take a closer look. The boat was already breaking through the wind and waves.
Disappeared without a trace.
The boat shot like an arrow. Zhang Yuelu sat on the bow of the boat. Even though the mist aroused hit his face, it could not get the cloud clothes wet at all.
Unknowingly, the boat reached the middle of the river, with a moon in the water below. Then a wave rose up from under the boat, like a motionless auspicious cloud, lifting the boat completely, causing the boat to stop on the top of the wave.
The head of the boat was slightly upturned, like a leaf, flying lightly, and then the whole boat left the waves and the Yi'an River, taking advantage of the night wind.
The boat got higher and higher, from ten feet high to dozens of feet high, and then to a hundred feet high.
The moon is full tonight, and the space between heaven and earth is filled with moonlight.
The three people on the boat and the boat were bathed in the quiet moonlight together, getting higher and higher. The Jiuju City below became a point, and the Anhe River became a line. The boat still kept on, continuing to drift toward the bright moon in the sky.
Then it went away and eventually became a tiny black spot in the bright moon, disappearing into the moonlight.
The boat soared in the air, riding the wind, and "sailed" toward Yoshida Castle.
At this time, Ji Xiang Gong was completely despairing. She tried to commit suicide several times, but was discovered and stopped by Zhang Yuelu. Zhang Yuelu simply put a talisman on Ji Xiang Gong's forehead, completely sealing her cultivation and making her unable to move, but there were some
funny.
Apart from his wife and mother, Qi Xuansu was not interested in other women, so naturally he had no sympathy for this auspicious palace, so it was up to Zhang Yuelu to deal with her.
He took out the sun disc and studied it carefully, hoping to find a bargain.
Such things usually contain a lot of divine power, which is an excellent supplement for a poor family like him, and this sun disk is obviously a semi-immortal thing.
At dawn, the Prime Minister's Ashigaru on the top of Yoshida Castle accidentally saw a small boat coming. The news spread immediately, and the entire city was in a sensation. Many ashigaru rushed to the commanding heights of the city, their eyes wide open.
, I really saw two Taoist immortals, a man and a woman, and a witch traveling in the sky in a boat. When the boat passed high above the city, no one among these rough guys who were used to shouting loudly was there.
They dared to speak out, but they just looked up at the immortal grace. When the boat went away, they all looked at each other in disbelief.
Feizhou has seen a lot, but the oppressive aura is too strong, and after all, it lacks a bit of immortality.
Such a scene is more in line with the immortal style that the world thinks.
Are those two immortal figures on the boat the geniuses of Taoism?
