Chapter 185 How can I be without myself?
The night is dark and windy.
On the east bank of Taihu Lake, an army of several thousand people was drinking water and making food by the lake. The military discipline was not very strict, but there was also a lot of noise. It seemed very noisy in the dead of night.
But compared with the chaotic troops in Yangzhou and Gusu that Zhao Changhe had seen before, they could be regarded as an elite and strong army that was orderly and orderly.
It is the vanguard army led by the ten-abode Bodhisattva Dhammasheng.
The so-called Ten Abodes of Bodhisattva is not a title given by Fasheng, but a level in Maitreya religion, which means killing many living beings. The "Ten Abodes" is still the status of Bodhisattva. If you kill more, you will become a Buddha... Fayuan's previous expectations for Zhao Changhe , can also become a ten-abode bodhisattva.
Fa Sheng had just entered Wuxing yesterday and had just rested for a day and night. When Tang Buqi was worried about when he would attack, he had actually gone around Hubei at night and headed towards Gusu.
There are also naval forces on the lake, advancing both by water and land.
They are said to be "vanguards" and their numbers are small. In fact, judging from Fa Sheng's overwhelming military front in the past few days, they all directly destroyed the city and basically did not receive any decent resistance.
Not only because the city, including officials and people, was full of people from their Maitreya religion, but also because the Jiangnan army was more useless than the rabble. At this time, the aristocratic families in various places are somewhat resistant because they look down on the Maitreya Sect.
But that little bit of resistance is really useless. Those families themselves are just trash who only know how to eat, drink, have fun and bully men and women. Before the army came, everyone was beating their chests loudly, and they all said that they would take Maitreya's head with their own hands and offer it to His Majesty. But when they came to the city, looking at the black army, everyone's legs were as weak as a shrimp.
So Fa Sheng killed them all, and the water in the south of the Yangtze River turned bloody.
This is how a "strong army" is tempered by starting from abusing vegetables and winning battles all the way. At the beginning of the uprising, they were just a bunch of followers who had learned a few tricks of the crop. Now they have won a few battles and equipped themselves with armor from various government treasuries, and they have begun to possess some serious iron-blooded momentum. The more you fight, the better it looks.
"Bodhisattva." In the military tent, Fa Sheng was observing the terrain map in front of the case. A believer next to him said: "The scouts reported that Gusu has strong walls and clear fields. They don't even care about the autumn harvest. Not even a dog can be found in the villages and towns outside."
"Tang Wanzhuang had stayed in Suzhou for so many days before, so of course he was well prepared." Fa Sheng was a powerful and powerful monk with a beard similar to that of Lu Zhishen, but his demeanor was very calm: "It's a pity. Tang Wanzhuang cannot be separated. She must stay in Jinling and keep the leader in check. Since the matter in Gusu is being presided over by people like Tang Wangsheng, Tang Wanzhuang's hard work will be wasted in the hands of these losers. "
Someone said: "There are quite a few people in Gusu. It is said that Tang Wangsheng and the others are at the ninth level of the Xuanguan... Bodhisattva, with our few soldiers and horses, we don't have any strong men stationed there. If someone goes out to assassinate..."
Fasheng waved his hand: "There is no one in Gusu who is a grandmaster. Tang Wangsheng doesn't have this ability. Don't look at the ninth level of the Profound Pass. If he really comes to assassinate him, a few rounds of random arrows will turn him into a hedgehog. Jiangbei Buddha was killed by Xia Chichi, then It’s because we don’t have much power in Jiangbei, and the Buddhist altar is restrained by the strong men of the Four Symbols Sect. The reversal of strength is not the same thing. "
After a pause, he continued: "Actually, even with Tang Wanzhuang's strength, she would not dare to venture into danger. Once entangled by the leader and thousands of troops swarmed around her, she would fall here. In the same way, the leader cannot Who knows what kind of ambush Tang Wanzhuang might have if he casually breaks into Gusu to pick off Tang Wangsheng's head? Once he does, he must be absolutely prepared. A strong person will not be able to decide everything in the war. This is ours. value."
Everyone nodded.
How can there be so many strong men who can truly move freely among the army... At least Gusu doesn't have a pervert like Chili Yue Hongling.
A staff officer said: "In the case of the Lu family, it can be seen that the Gusu army is weakened and there are no generals who can fight. However, the various families in Gusu may be more diligent, and most of the food in the city is sufficient. If they can organize their servants to defend the city, and It’s not easy to fight.”
"This is the reason why I made the night raid. They neither have a leader with enough prestige nor enough war experience. They are probably still thinking about how to use the geographical location to attack and defend and arrange each family's defense zones... Once the unexpected troops come to the city, they will probably be in chaos. , our opportunity is here. We can't wait for the follow-up army to arrive, otherwise they may become more and more united and become more difficult to bite. "
If Tang Buqi were here, I'm afraid his heart would be a little cold.
Fa Sheng almost guessed his thoughts and the current situation of each family clearly. They were really allocating defense areas, waiting for Maitreya to teach you how to attack and defend.
Once the city is attacked at night, it is hard to say what will happen to the Tang family. It is inevitable that other families will be in chaos.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this.” Fasheng pointed to the topographic map: “Look here, the east bank of Taihu Lake is...”
Before he finished speaking, a hurried voice came from outside the tent: "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, someone outside the village reported that there was a water ghost digging a boat in the lake, and a boat sank. It is suspected that Gusu sent troops to attack!"
"Is there such a person in Gusu?" Fasheng and other generals and staff members all walked out of the tent in surprise. Sure enough, they saw fire igniting on the lake in the distance, and there was a chaos of angry and frightened shouts.
"Where is the messenger?" Fa Sheng asked, "Take me to ask about the situation."
The messenger was waiting by the reeds outside the village gate. He was also a tall young man with an ordinary appearance. Although he was tall, he was a bit sallow, thin and malnourished. He looked so wet that he looked like he had just jumped out of the water. He didn't even have a weapon in his hand. It was very strange. It's embarrassing.
Fa Sheng took one look and was not suspicious. There were quite a few young men like this in the army, so he asked: "Tell us in detail what is going on in the lake? How many water ghosts have come to the other side? Now that you have entered the water, is there a fight?"
The young man's voice was trembling: "Bodhisattva, there are many people coming from the opposite side. The water is so dark that I don't dare to go there. I try my best to swim to the shore..."
Fa Sheng pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Assemble the archers to the shore of the stronghold to prepare. Don't leave the stronghold without permission. Be careful about robbing the camp. Then send scouts to the outposts to explore."
As he spoke, he looked at the young man with some suspicion: "Don Juan has this ability, why don't I believe it?"
The young man stared blankly, as if he didn’t know what you were talking about.
That gaze inadvertently passed through the village, watching as most of the archers who were waiting in front of the village gate moved to the shore.
Fa Sheng was saying: "Wait a moment, I will show you the seal of the King of Ming Dynasty without moving."
The young man really made the Fudo Ming King Seal: "Is that so, Bodhisattva? I'm not very familiar with it..."
This is one of the fundamental seals of Buddhism. It is widely recorded in various scriptures and should be understood by all Maitreya believers. However, ordinary believers who have not even been ordained have a substandard and normal marriage, and there is no flaw that would cause any confusion.
The general next to him felt that Fasheng was a bit suspicious this time. There was an accident on the boat in the lake. You still have time to care about whether the seal mark of the message is not standard...
Fa Sheng also felt that there was no problem, so he laughed and said, like a polite corporal, he stretched out his hand to correct the young man's handprint: "Don't make your thumb so stiff, it's like this..."
At this moment, the handprints of the seemingly honest young man suddenly changed.
The fingertips are like flowers, like willows, like natural lotuses, blooming quietly.
Including Fa Sheng and the bystanders, all they could see was that the fingers were like shadows, and before they had time to react, they had already touched the missing points on Fa Sheng's wrist.
And I know their Maitreya religion very well... This brushing point is not just brushing the Lieque point, but along the Taiyin Lung Meridian, brushing the upper and lower points of the Lieque point. No matter whether you have moved or not, you will definitely hit the target.
The people on the left and right reacted, and the swords came out and hit the young man's head. However, he saw that his steps were slightly wrong, and he moved a little to the right very elegantly. With a hook of his foot, a broad knife hidden in the reeds jumped into the palm of his hand.
“Roar!”
The sword rises and the wind roars!
With a "choking" sound, several long swords surrounding him were cut into two pieces. Zhao Changhe flew up on the broken sword, chased Fa Sheng in the air, and went straight to the retreating Fa Sheng.
“Zhao Changhe, this is **** Zhao Changhe!”
I'm so angry that I'm about to vomit blood. When will Zhao Changhe change his appearance and play with such a stupid acupuncture hand, without scars or knives? No one can figure out that this guy is actually his mother Zhao Changhe!
How dare he, just attack in front of the stronghold and take the head of the general!
Dark shadows soared in the sky, covering the moonlight.
The sword slashed furiously, and his eyes looked like blood.
The dragon bird roars, and the evil spirit rises into the sky.
Fa Sheng's right side was paralyzed, and he reluctantly pulled out his sword with his left hand and tried to parry; countless swords, spears, swords and halberds on the left and right pierced Zhao Changhe's body.
If there is a painter here, it should be a picture of gods and demons.
“Crack!”
The harsh sound of sword sliding echoed through the night sky.
Jie Dao inexplicably did not block the sword, and the dragon bird seemed to slide over. A blood mark appeared on Fa Sheng's forehead for no apparent reason. Before he died, he could not understand how Zhao Changhe's move of "Dispersing the Gods and Buddhas" turned into a sliding knife... Then he Mom, aren’t the gods and Buddhas scattered?
Is it an awkward sword move?
A spear grazed under Zhao Changhe's ribs, bringing up a shower of blood.
Zhao Changhe's steps were like limping waves, and he avoided the other two daggers that were grazing his neck extremely delicately. He swiped back with the knife, and the gunman's head flew up, and blood surged wildly.
"Hurry!" Following a whistle, the sound of horse hooves from the side was heard loudly, and a black horse with white hoofs came through like lightning.
Zhao Changhe fired another shot, then suddenly kicked another general in the chest, flew sideways, jumped several feet, and landed on his horse.
The wuzui roared loudly and flew away into the night.
Countless arrows were shot from behind. Zhao Changhe turned aside and deflected a few arrows with his sword, then laughed and went away: "The ten-dwelling Bodhisattva is a traitor, and the Maitreya army is nothing more than that! See you later!"
“Boom!” Flames rose in the lake, and the boat that had been set alight completely sank into the lake.
The entire military camp was in chaos.
“Master Tang, what are you doing walking around here?”
"I'm restless." At the Gusu City Wall, Tang Buqi walked around and looked at the guards divided into separate areas: "Will Fa Sheng conduct a night attack?"
"You are overthinking. Fasheng just entered Wuxing yesterday. He only has a few vanguards. He has to wait for the main force to join up."
“…However, they entered Wuxing with just these troops, and they didn’t even wait for the main force from Hangzhou to come.”
“The Maitreya disciples broke into a major town and how could they just burn, kill, loot and play with women for a few days? How could they come directly…”
Tang Buqi paced back and forth, still uneasy. He turned around and asked Wu Weiyang, "Does Auntie have anything special to say?"
Wu Weiyang sighed: "Since the leader is entrusted to you, the master should be arbitrary. There is no reason to ask the leader for everything. If these people are noisy, the master should try to subdue... We are here. The master is not fighting alone. You can give orders. "
Others sneered: "What if no one attacks?"
Just as Tang Buqi was about to speak, golden light flashed in the sky.
Everyone was stunned and looked up. The book on troubled times has been updated a little too frequently recently?
“On the seventh day of the sixth lunar month, at Zishi, Zhao Changhe attacked the Taihu military camp at night, killed Maitreya and taught the ten-dwelling Bodhisattva Dharma at the gate of the stronghold, and returned on horseback. None of the Maitreya generals could defeat him.”
“Changes in the Qianlong List.”
“Qianlong 18, Zhao Changhe.”
“The stars hang in the sky, how can there be no me!”
Tang Buqi looked sideways at the people from various families nearby: "What is the purpose of this Taihu Military Village?"
Everyone looked at each other, opened their mouths, and then closed them again.
Tang Buqi whispered: "I'm still a little behind... At that time, it was the stage for people like Zhao Changhe."
At that time, the barbarians went south to knock on the pass, and Maitreya rose from the south of the Yangtze River. Heroes will rise up, and the world will be in chaos.
The wind and clouds are rising, and dragons and snakes are rising from the land.
