Chapter 609 The Buddha Has Appeared
Chapter 609 The Buddha appeared
Zhang Xianzhong was staring at General Li's seat. Li Zicheng knew very well in his heart, and he felt uncomfortable when he thought of this.
In Mianchi City, Tiemo did not respond fiercely to the increase in the Lu family county of the bandits, as if he had known that the bandits would increase in troops. Humph, if the bandits could increase in troops, wouldn’t the Northern Jin army increase in troops? The more troops there were in Lu family county, the better. This would be convenient for the success of the battle. He directly fought with most of the bandits near Lu family county, so as not to have trouble later.
Li Yanke has been looking forward to the Northern Jin army attacking Lu's County. Now there are many soldiers and generals, and there are enough food and supplies. Are you still afraid that others will attack the city? Unfortunately, the Northern Jin army has no movement at all, as if they are satisfied with occupying Mianchi City.
On this day, the strong wind stopped, and many bandit soldiers were nestled on the city and basking in the sun. The bandits were lazy. The officers and soldiers did not attack the city and were idle. So let's take a look at the scenery. Although I don't know what's good to look at, what else can I do besides this?
Just after the Si hour, the sun was already high, and the sun was beaming like light strips on the earth. The mountains of Funiu Mountain in the distance were undulating and beautiful scenery. The quiet and warm sunny scenery suddenly broke the tranquility. A bandit soldier screamed, then stood behind the battlements blankly. He saw him with his mouth open, his eyes widened, his left hand was raised, his right hand stretched out, and his right hand was still trembling, "Living......Living... It's Buddha, Buddha, look, Buddha has appeared!"
With a scream, many people looked in the direction the man pointed. In the blink of an eye, there was a burst of screams on the top of the city. Then they heard many people gasping for a cold air, and some even held their chests with their hands, looking in disbelief. A few dozen feet east of the city wall, a monk in a cassock sat on the ground. The monk did not move, his hands closed and his eyes slightly closed. The monk could not tell his age, and he could only see the two white eyebrows hanging between his neck.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the wind was very strange. It only circled around the monk, but there was no sense of rampantness on the top of the city. A black smoke slowly wrapped around the monk, like a demonic aura. Gradually, a shadow formed by black smoke appeared. The black smoke looked like a woman, but the woman had no legs and only had a long tail.
It is the witch of Luohe, definitely the witch of Luohe. The legend of Luohe witch from a young age is the legend of Luohe witch. Sometimes when you are disobedient, the older generation will scare people with witches. Legend has it that the witch of Luohe has no appearance, only a black shape. She looks like a human shape, but has a tail. She looks kind, but she swallows all living beings. The black figure becomes bigger and bigger, and then expands and pounces on the monks on the ground.
Hiss, the bandit soldiers on the top of the city were so nervous. Will the monk be swallowed by the witch? Obviously, they were a little worried. Just when the black shadow was about to touch their bodies, a sound of "其" suddenly burst out from the monk's body. The light was dazzling, and some golden light even shot on the top of the city, reflecting the shocked face of the bandit soldiers. The monk had something more in his hand, and looked like a pagoda in the mountains. Isn't this the pagoda of the Daxiangguo Temple used to suppress the witch?
The Daxiangguo Temple Pagoda was not built after the establishment of the Daxiangguo Temple, but a legendary magic weapon that has been passed down for thousands of years. According to legend, the pagoda was released to suppress thousands of evil demons in the world. Whoever owns the pagoda is a god, and anyone must surrender to him. No matter how unreliable this legend is, most people believe in the people, especially in the Central Plains.
The pagoda came out and the shadow gradually disappeared. What shocked everyone was that when the shadow of the Luo River witch was taken away, the monk sitting on the ground disappeared. Many bandit soldiers shouted, and some of them were already kneeling on the ground and crying, "Buddha, you can't leave, enlighten your people!"
Some people are really superstitious, and they are so superstitious that they are beyond relentless. Li Yan was chatting with several leaders, when his personal soldiers suddenly broke in, "Captain Li, the Buddha has appeared... The Buddha has appeared outside the field. Just now, the Buddha took away the witch of Luohe with the pagoda. It is a pagoda... Lord Li Yan, it is really a pagoda. If you don't believe it, you can go and see it. Everyone on the city wall saw it."
The personal soldiers were so excited that they could not speak a few words, but they could understand the general meaning. Pagoda? Buddha? The witch of Luohe? What the hell is it? Li Yan and the leaders naturally don’t believe it. The Buddha appeared, what a joke. It’s been so many years since I have never heard of any Buddha appearing in any place. Could it be that the people of the Maitreya Sect pretend to be a god, right?
Li Yan hurried to the city wall. He heard the soldiers on the city wall say one by one and all of them, and he believed it halfway, but he was a little confused. Why did the pagoda appear so strange? Could it be the conspiracy of the officers and soldiers? Just as Li Yan was hesitating, someone on the city wall screamed again. This time, Li Yan could see it without anyone else's words, but he just looked at the east and was stunned. A golden light suddenly shot out from the Guaima slope two or three miles east of Lushi County. Is this really a pagoda? The golden light shines everywhere, which means that the pagoda is shining the world with the Buddha light.
The trick of the Northern Jin army? It is unlikely. Such a golden light is clearly a miracle. No matter how capable the officers and soldiers are, they can create this golden light? Without hesitation, Li Yan called out a few personal soldiers and asked them to go out of the city to find out. After the soldiers left, from Li Yan to ordinary soldiers were waiting anxiously. About a quarter of an hour later, several personal soldiers came back on horseback. "Captain Li, the golden light was indeed emitted from Gumapo. As for the holy objects, we failed to search carefully because... because Chen Pei also led the people to Gumapo, and we were afraid that something would happen, so we came back quickly."
Chen Pei is here too? Li Yan knows Chen Pei. Since Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Keqi left one after another, this person has become the number one general under Zhang Xianzhong.
Li Yan couldn't help but be surprised. If Chen Pei snatched the holy relics and presented them to Zhang Xianzhong, it would be a big problem. Regardless of whether the legend is true or not, the key is that someone believes this thing. Now that the King of Breaking Gao Yingxiang is captured, it is probably impossible to survive. The rebel army is about to select a new King of Breaking. If Zhang Xianzhong gets the pagoda, wouldn't it be detrimental to General Li?
Li Yan hesitated, but others would not. Several leaders volunteered, "Captain Li, please give an order quickly. The sacred pagoda must not fall into Chen Pei's hands, otherwise General Li will blame him and no one can afford it."
After being clamored by a group of people, Li Yan couldn't help it. He immediately called a leader and led thousands of people out of Lu's County. On the slope of Guaima, Li Yan's soldiers and Chen Pei's men collided. Naturally, there was nothing to say on both sides. No matter what Chen Pei said, no one would believe it. From Li Yan to ordinary soldiers, they all regarded Chen Pei as an uninvited guest who came to snatch the pagoda.
Chen Pei was very wronged and started fighting with Li Yan's troops in a daze. Gumapo was a small place and could not be used at all. After fighting for a long time, the two sides remembered that the pagoda had been confiscated. Chen Pei was not a fool either. Although he only led his troops in circles according to Zhang Xianzhong's order at first, since he knew the existence of the holy objects, he had to rob it.
The sound of killings came from Guaimapo, but when a fierce battle ended, the golden light disappeared, and the pagoda could not be found. Li Yan's soldiers returned to Lu's county dejectedly, and Chen Pei also led the people to run away in a dirt. Li Yan had his own doubts, which is why Chen Pei appeared in Guaimapo?
The sacred object was not found, which was a very depressing thing for the bandits in the city. Many people sighed, but only a dozen soldiers gathered next to a fire, muttering and nagging.
April 14th, another sunny day. This day is still guarding the city as usual, but everyone can't forget what happened yesterday. The legend of the past happened little by little before my eyes, and everything is so real. Before noon, the city became restless again, and the Buddha appeared again on the earth not far away. He appeared out of thin air. Sitting on the ground, the Buddha's body slowly rose into the air, his posture was ethereal and elegant, and at the same time, the sound of the Niao Niao Fanyin was remembered around him.
I don’t know who it was, but he knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, “The Buddha appears, the Buddha appears!”
I don’t know who let go of the city gate, so many people rushed out in a swarm and knelt down devoutly. When Li Yan learned about the situation outside the city, it was too late to stop it, because many leaders also ran out to kneel down to worship the Buddha.
Li Yan was about to vomit blood. Are these idiots afraid that the officers and soldiers would come to fight at this time? Then he would not worship Buddha, but would die.
Everyone has faith, and no one will joke about the sacred Buddha, but they just met the iron mo who disregarded the gods the most. Sha Yan looked at the bandit soldiers who were crawling in dignity, but was shocked in his heart. Is the method of supervising the army really effective?
Of course, so many bandits were bound to pay the rewards of those infernal Affairs. If they hadn't led the head and shouted out of the city, the bandits wouldn't have easily opened the city gate. Li Yan was determined to stop the soldiers who worshiped, but a voice kept telling him that they must not force themselves. They had to find a way to do it. It would easily cause the soldiers to be disgusted. Li Yan was thinking hard, but there were more and more bandits outside the city. What was even more strange was that even though he was clearly watching the Buddha beside him dozens of feet away in front of him, but he kept praying, but the Buddha was still so far away. As noon, the scene finally changed. On the west side of Lu's County, a soldier slowly walked up. The army was wearing black armor, holding its breath and holding its breath, and its momentum was pressing.
At this moment, the Buddha had an extra mani wheel in his hand. The sound of the Buddhist chant sounded, and the Buddha's name seemed hoarse and solemn in the wilderness. He held the mani wheel in his right hand and pointed at the west of Lu's county. "The devil is coming, and the soldiers will fight bravely to fight the enemy. The heaven and earth can be clear and clear!"
After the Buddhist vocals, the Buddha disappeared, and only saw a flash of golden light in front of him. A ball of flame burned in front of the Buddha. The flame disappeared, and the Buddha disappeared. The Buddha disappeared, and the bandit soldiers who worshiped him immediately became in chaos. They were looking for the Buddha and happened to see the black torrent coming from the warm Japan in the west sky. It was the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers attacked, and several bandits shouted loudly, "The Buddha said that officers and soldiers are all demons. We must kill the demons before the Buddha can bring blessings."
The Buddha's influence is huge. At least now many bandit soldiers believe in what the Buddha said just now. So countless bandit soldiers set up their formations and greeted them. They were still screaming at the top of their voices, as if they were saints fighting with the devil. Seeing the situation under the city, Li Yan was so angry that he stamped his feet. No matter how he shouted, the people under the city just didn't come back. "Idiot, idiot, why do you want to leave the city? Hurry up, dispatch troops to support outside the city, and you must not let the officers and soldiers rush over."
After hearing Li Yan's words, several leaders hummed unhappily. The Buddha said that officers and soldiers are demons, and it is natural for us to wipe out demons. Originally, the leaders had quite a complaint about Li Yan's retreat tactics, but now that the Buddha's words are said, they are even more reliant on them.
Leader Li was just too timid. Lu's county has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the remaining infantry is less than 40,000. Nearly 60,000 troops need to be afraid of the officers and soldiers of Mianchi City? The cavalry of the officers and soldiers in the institute was too tired and had been sent back to Shannanzhen Pass. If the 60,000 soldiers of the rebels were still cowardly in the face of 20,000 officers and soldiers, then don't fight in the future, just go home to feed cattle and sheep. Of course, the leaders dare not tell Li Yan openly, but the execution of military orders will be greatly reduced. Because of the slackness of these leaders, the bandits soon collided with the northern Jin army.
Once the two armies confront each other, it would not be Li Yan's whatever he wanted. Nearly 10,000 troops confronted the Jinbei Army, and they had to fight if they didn't fight. At this time, even if the soldiers were promptly ordered to withdraw, it would be another matter whether the soldiers listened or not, even the Jinbei Army would not miss the opportunity to pursue.
Li Yan cursed in disgrace. After planning for so many days, he was waiting to consume the Jinbei Army. But those ignorant people had to go out to fight against the Jinbei Army. Li Yan also understood the thoughts of those leaders. Didn’t they just want to fight with the officers and soldiers to make some credit? Of course, most people also felt that the cavalry of the Jinbei Army was not available to take advantage of. Now, there are obviously many more soldiers in Lushi County than those in Mianchi City, and there is a real reason to be confident to defeat the officers and soldiers.
Since they want to fight, they must win. If they have an advantage in numbers outside the city, they cannot win. This will be a heavy blow to the morale of the rebel soldiers. Li Yan ordered the transfer of 5,000 elite soldiers out of Lu's County. At the same time, several leaders led 20,000 troops out of the city to participate in the battle. In a short period of time, the bandits had gathered 35,000 troops outside the Lu's County, while the northern Jin army had only had a pitiful more than 15,000 people.
Geng Zhongming was in charge of the central army, Zhou Dingshan and Liu Qi were separated from each other, and Shi Wengong was the vanguard. At the beginning of the contact, the Northern Jin Army set up a formation. With Geng Zhongming's order, more than 3,000 Shang Kexi's troops, who were in the front, gradually retreated and formed an army with the left and right wings. The shield players intertwined each other, and the entire formation was divided into more than a dozen circular formations. The shield players were outside and the spearmen were in the middle. This circular formation had been practiced countless times, so it was easy to use. One advantage of the circular formation was that it was mutually supportive and could effectively block the cavalry.
