Chapter 215 Half the battle(2/3)
As soon as he finished speaking, three big drums rang out from under the cloud chariot, and then the eight copper chins made a "woo woo woo" sound.
Immediately, the cloud cart that the substitute was riding on, carrying eight bronze ox carts, and several flat carts pulling more than 20 monks in white, all moved forward.
There are several torches on each car, illuminating the surrounding area as bright as day.
More than 20 monks first chanted the Buddha's name three times, "Sparkling holy fire, burn my sinful karma. Wash away the dust, and be reborn in bliss", and then recited the sutra.
The monks and guards, as well as the rioters, rushed towards the fire in the distance like crazy, with expressions of excitement and yearning on their faces.
Li Chengzhi's expression suddenly changed: These rioters want to set themselves on fire?
No, it should be self-immolation while tearing the white-armored soldiers trapped in the formation into pieces...
Fortunately, I had a foresight. When the monk guards were retreating regardless of casualties, if the front line was to take advantage of the victory and pursue them, no amount of filling would be enough...
Li Chengzhi took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked coldly: "What sutra are those monks reciting, the Sutra of Transcendence?"
Li Song listened carefully: "It's "The Book of Saviors", which is said to be written by Ge Xuan..."
No wonder...
Li Chengzhi nodded slightly.
He is curious, is there a "Book of Saviors" in this era?
As for why the monk recited Taoist scriptures, he was not surprised at all.
In these two families, you copied me, and I copied you, for more than a thousand years.
Li Chengzhi can guarantee that if the Buddha really can manifest himself, if he could get a glimpse of it in later generations, he would never dare to recognize it as "Buddhism"...
Shaking his head to clear away all the messy thoughts, he looked into the formation again.
Hundreds of meters away, I couldn't see clearly at all. I could only imagine: countless carriages were rushing through the formation. From time to time, carriages would roll over and horses would fall to the ground. Then the "people" on the carriages would roll around.
was thrown out of the car and fell into the fire...
Just listening to those screams, you can imagine how tragic the scene was.
Those who were lucky enough to survive seemed to be fighting hard against the traitors, and the shouts of killing shook the whole country...
But to Li Chengzhi's ears, the miserable howls and shouts of death seemed to be much weaker than when the fire started just a moment ago.
He looked at the soldiers ten feet away who were looking up to the sky and howling, and couldn't help but wonder: How did those insurgents persist for half a day?
It seems like a really strenuous job...
Li Chengzhi raised his head again, looked at the smoke and dust that covered the sky and made the stars and moon invisible, and said solemnly: "Li Song, the time has come, it's time to set off..."
Li Song nodded, turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and said sadly: "Don't worry, sir, I will live up to the trust... If you have second thoughts, the sky will strike with thunder, and your descendants will die..."
Not only was Li Chengzhi not moved, but his face darkened, as if to say: If your husband believed this, he would have died hundreds of times...
He frowned, glared and cursed: "Grudge...get out of here!"
Li Song kowtowed three times, got up and mounted his horse, and entered the fire formation along the passage paved with wet soil.
In a corner about half a mile further to the north, a total of 400 vans, pulling more than 4,000 white-armored soldiers, were waiting quietly.
Seeing Li Song's figure, Li Liang knew that he was about to set off. With a few gentle shouts, he saw a wall of fire in the north extinguishing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It extinguished dozens of feet in the blink of an eye.
Li Song waved his hand: "Let's go!"
Li Liang nodded slightly, jumped off his horse, knelt straight on the ground, and kowtowed three times towards the bright red blood-like lanterns in the distance.
He kowtowed loudly, but his tone was very calm: "Langjun, take care... I will never betray your trust: these four thousand soldiers are members of the Li family in life, and ghosts of the Li family in death..."
Li Song couldn't help sighing.
Mr. Lang is good at everything, but he is too suspicious.
You are afraid that I will have second thoughts, but you have not thought about whether I have this ability?
Look at Li Liang, is he saying goodbye to you?
This is nearly a hundred feet away, Lang Jun can hear shit...
He is telling me Li Song: He will only be loyal to the husband in this life!
This damn guy is my nephew, Li Song...
When Li Liang got up, the car camp immediately set off, and soon it disappeared into the dark night...
……
More than a mile to the west is the village gate.
Li Yun had already ordered his personal guards to move several cloud carriages together and specially summoned Yang Shu and Zhang Jingyi to watch the formation together.
When he saw the fire bursting out in the enemy camp, covering the sky and the sun in the blink of an eye, and the miserable howls and shouts shaking the night sky, Li Yun's face changed.
Is there really a trap?
He thought this was an excuse made up by Li Chengzhi.
The reason why Li Chengzhi secretly asked him for a night attack was probably because he wanted the Baijia Battalion to take the opportunity to escape at night...
But Li Yun never expected that Li Chengzhi would actually fight?
Is it possible that he deliberately wanted to kill all those thousands of soldiers here?
With the thought, Li Yun's face became darker and darker, and his eyes became more and more fierce...
If Li Chengzhi is really so vicious, how can he be recognized as a holy gentleman by Yang Shu and Zhang Jingzhi?
It shouldn't be possible...
Zhang Jingzhi's face was blue, his fists were clenched, his nails had already dug into his palms, and his whole body seemed to be trembling.
He controlled himself over and over again: Don't be angry, don't be angry... As long as Li Chengzhi is fine, what if the Baijia Camp is completely destroyed?
As long as you pass this level, you can summon another one sooner or later...
Yang Shu was shocked and angry.
Li Chengzhi said there was a trap, so there must be a trap. Yang Shu had no doubt at all.
But who could have expected that it would be so cruel?
In a radius of three or four miles, the fire burned so brightly that it blocked out the sun, and there was not even a single vacancy in sight?
The screams and roars were like needle pricks, which stung Yang Shu's heart.
Look at those horses again, they are like mice that have been doused with oil and set on fire. They are frightened and confused, running around everywhere.
What's more, most of the horses are pulling carts behind them?
Under such circumstances, not to mention people, even iron lumps can be smashed by you...
As I listened, the shouts of death seemed to disappear, and even the miserable howls became much weaker. What I heard in my ears was mostly "the bliss of the afterlife"?
If it is a white-armored soldier, even if he is flawless and shouts to kill to boost his morale, he will only scream...
Is it possible that everything is broken?
That's a whole four battalions...
Yang Shu's eyes bulged, and they were about to burst.
If it weren't for Li Yun, how could these white-armored soldiers die in such vain?
He gritted his teeth and wanted to slap Li Yun a few times: "So, is Governor Li satisfied?"
Li Yun ignored Yang Shu and just stared at the enemy camp.
The fire was too big and the smoke was too thick, so it wasn't very clear, but at least I could see that countless horses and people had been burned, and they were howling miserably and running around the camp.
As for how many were rebel soldiers and how many were white-armored soldiers, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference even if he lent Li Yun ten pairs of eyes.
But those carriages must be from the Baijia Battalion. If you think about it, the four thousand soldiers Li Chengzhi brought out of the camp would probably be trapped inside?
Is it possible that even Li Chengzhi didn't expect the trap to be so vicious, and he wanted to pretend to fight, so he sent out the White Armor Battalion rashly, but he didn't want to fall into an ambush?
The more Li Yun thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she shouted in a cold voice: "Let's go and take a closer look..."
He was about to go down to the watchtower when he suddenly heard an urgent order: "The commander-in-chief has ordered the auxiliary troops to leave the camp as soon as possible to stop the enemy..."
It has reached the point of using auxiliary troops?
Yang Shu's eyes were about to burst, and he roared angrily: "Where are the four battalions from before? Where is Li Song, where is Li Liang?"
"I don't know yet!" the soldier replied urgently, "the enemy thieves are getting closer and closer, and even the wall of fire can hardly stop them, and they are about to rush over... The commander-in-chief, even the archers of the brigade serving as reserve team, are
Already sent up...there are only a dozen mounted guards left..."
Li Yun's expression suddenly changed: "What else are we going to attack? Come back and let Li Chengzhi go back..."
The soldier lowered his head slightly and responded in a hissing voice: "Please forgive me, Commander-in-Chief: The Commander-in-Chief has an order. If he doesn't punish this group of thieves today, he will not retreat even half a step..."
As he spoke, he urged his horse and rushed into the village.
Not to mention the commanding officer, even the auxiliary soldiers watching from across the wall did not take Li Yun's words seriously.
As the brigade commander, team leader and other officers shouted, one team after another, the wooden armored soldiers rushed out of the village gate and rushed towards the fire array.
