The Power of Seven Religions 4

It turned out that in the valley, the Song army had ambushed 13,000 men and horses, and Gao Zhanjun, the commander of the Chinese army, led 7,000 men and horses from the valley to cut off the return route of the Manichaean army, and Yin Shibiao, the commander of the left army, and Wang Guan, the commander of the right army, each led 3,000 men and horses, and ambushed in various forks on both sides of the valley.

The Manichaean army was blocked in the valley, unable to advance and retreat, and was completely caught in passive beatings, and countless people fell from their guns. As soon as Wu Gong saw that the plan was successful, he immediately ordered the Song army to take advantage of the momentum and press forward step by step, further compressing the space of the Manichaean army, and must completely annihilate this Manichaean army.

At this time, Zhao Cao, Lai Wenzheng, Huang Yan, Chen Dong, Li Jin and other leaders of the Manichaean army hurriedly gathered together to urgently discuss what should be done?

Zhao Cao said: "Everyone, we have fallen for the tricks of the Song army and are surrounded by the Song army, if we don't break through as soon as possible, I'm afraid there is a danger of annihilation of the whole army?"

Huang Yan said: "King Ming is right, but we should break through in that direction?" Do you keep rushing forward, or do you turn your head backwards?"

Zhao Cao was stunned for a moment, and he was speechless for a while. Although he is proficient in superior martial arts, he is not good at commanding battles between the two armies, and he has decided that he should break through in that direction for a while?

At this time, Lai Wenzheng said: "King Ming, in my opinion, it is better to turn around and break through backwards. I have just observed, there are too many Song troops in front, and Wu Gong is personally commanding, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through successfully, and even if you break out, Cangwu is still a place under the control of the Song army, and the Song army behind is only six or seven thousand people, and once the breakthrough is successful, everyone can disperse and flee, return to Deqing Mansion to gather and repair, and then fight to the death with the Song army."

Zhao Cao listened, and immediately nodded and said: "Wenzheng said well, we will do what Wenzheng said, I will take the lead to open the way, Huang Yan is on the left, Chen Yu is on the right, after Li Jin is broken, Wenzheng is in the middle of the command, and they will go out of the valley together. Then everyone scattered and fled and gathered at Deqing Mansion."

Everyone said yes and went their separate ways.

"Brothers, come with me." Zhao Cao waved the crescent cane and led a group of Manichaean troops to turn their heads and kill the Song army guarding the valley mouth. His staff technique unfolded, bringing out a series of majestic energy, knocking down more than a dozen Song troops in a row, Chen Dong and Huang Yan each led a team of men and horses to cover on both sides of him, so that he did not have to worry about both sides, and concentrated on dealing with the Song army in front. The Manichaean army also knew that only by desperately rushing out of the valley could they get their lives, so everyone fought bravely and followed Zhao Cao to rush out and kill.

The Gao Zhanjun guarding the valley also knew that the Manichaean army must not be allowed to kill out of the valley, so Wu Gong's plan would be abandoned. Therefore, he also personally went into battle and led the Song army to desperately resist the attack of the Mowujiao army.

The rain was getting heavier, and the two armies were fighting to the death, each brandishing their weapons. Mud, water, and blood mixed together, splashing high or low, and once again rolling up a bloody rain. The sword was broken, the spear was bent, the broken armor was scattered, the broken sword and shield flew in the air, and the earth in the valley was dyed red.

While the Manichaean army was fighting with the Song army, suddenly no one began to whisper: "Burn my remnants, the holy fire is blazing, what is the joy of life, and why is it bitter to die?" For the sake of good and evil, but for the sake of light, joy and sorrow, all to dust. ”

At first, one or two people were whispering, but soon more and more Manichaean troops joined together, and the voices became louder and louder, and finally almost the whole army was chanting loudly: "Burn my body, the holy fire is blazing, what is the joy of life, and what is the pain of death?" For the sake of good and evil, but for the sake of light, joy and sorrow, all to dust. The sound resounded throughout the valley, and even Yang Yan and Ye Muxue, who were watching the battle on the mountain, could hear it.

But to the surprise of today, this chant seemed to inject great strength into the Manichaean army, and they fought more and more bravely, attacking the Song army holding the valley mouth with irrational and forceful force. Blood splattered, knives and guns snapped, and corpses fell to the ground, forming a bloody melee. But the swords and guns of the Manichaean army finally gradually pressed down on the Song army.

Yang Yan, who was watching the battle from the top of the mountain, was also taken aback, completely unaware that Yijing was surrounded by the Song army, and the Manichaean army, which was about to collapse the whole army, would counterattack forcefully in an unbelievable way. He couldn't help but ask Ye Muxue, "Miss Ye, do you know what they are reading?"

Ye Muxue said lightly: "That's a scripture in Manichaeism."

Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, and everything suddenly became clear. It turned out that Manichaeism had been in wait in the south for decades, and in the process of mission, it accompanied a group of fanatical followers who embraced Manichaeism. When the war was in danger, the chanting of Manichaean scriptures to arouse their martyrdomous fanatical beliefs, although this group of people may be only a small part, on the battlefield only a small part of the fanaticism is enough to spread this fanaticism throughout the army, so that the whole army bursts into starling combat. This is also the reason why Manichaeism has been invincible since the rebellion. And this series of victories also strengthened the faith of the believers in Manichaeism, and the power of this religious belief is indeed terrifying.

The Song army guarding the valley mouth was finally broken open by the Manichaean army, and Wu Gong had nothing to do when he saw this, so he could only watch more and more Manichaean troops escape from the gap. In desperation, Wu Gong had no choice but to order the whole army to pursue and eliminate as many Manichaean troops as possible.

Yang Yan let out a long breath, turned around and walked under the big tree that tied Hai Dongqing. Ye Muxue said, "You want to go there."

Yang Yan said: "This battle is over, and there is nothing to see, why stay here if you don't leave?"

Ye Muxue took two steps and said, "Then do you think there is any way to deal with the power of a religion like Manichaeism?"

Yang Yan shook his head and said, "I can't help it."

Ye Muxue was slightly stunned and said, "There is no way? Isn't that what you say is the same as Manichaeism, which is already invincible?"

Yang Yan untied Hai Dongqing's reins and said with a smile: "I am not the main general of this rebellion, how to defeat the Manichaean army is a matter for Wu Jie's envoy, I don't have to worry about this matter." As he spoke, he jumped on the horse and said, "Miss Ye, I'll go first."

Ye Muxue watched Yang Yan's figure gradually disappear into the forest, stayed for a while, and then drifted away.

Yang Yan walked down the mountain, and the battle was basically over, with only occasional sporadic fights. Yang Yan didn't want to alarm the Song army, so he only chose to walk in the depths of the dense forest. Suddenly, I heard a noise in the forest, and then there was a "bang", and a huge figure with a bloody stain appeared in front of the bushes. Yang Yan restrained the war horse, and the man also saw Yang Yan, raised the crescent cane in his hand, and waited for it.

"Is it Zhao Cao?" Yang Yan shook his head, "How did you just meet him." It turned out that after Zhao Cao took the lead in killing the valley mouth, he did not flee just like that, but turned back to save the other Manichaean troops. Jingguo was caught up by the Song army instead, and then it was a desperate battle, Zhao Cao finally fought out of the encirclement alone, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Song army, he had to drill into the dense woods, and happened to meet Yang Yan who came down from the mountain.

The two looked at each other, and Zhao Meng also recognized that it was Yang Yan, at this time, he was injured in many places all over his body, and his skills were almost exhausted, and he couldn't be Yang Yan's opponent, so he couldn't help laughing miserably, and said: "It turned out to be you, okay, it's better to die in your hands than to die in the hands of a nobody, you just give me a good time." Put down the crescent cane, close your eyes and wait for death.

Yang Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was not a cruel and easy-to-kill person, when he met other Manichaeans, he might be arrested and handed over to Song Jun, but he met Zhao Cao, the two finally got acquainted, and he felt that Zhao Cao didn't look like a bad person, so he couldn't bear to do it, so he sighed and said: "Brother Zhao, you run for your life yourself, I don't see it." I was relieved in my heart, anyway, I am not an official of the court now, and I have no responsibility to quell the chaos.

Zhao Cao was stunned, he didn't expect Yang Yan to let himself go, his heart couldn't help but relax, and suddenly his eyes flickered, and he fell to the ground. It turned out that after the Lianxiang fight, he was close to the point of running out of oil, and he only survived until now with one breath. Now as soon as this breath is released, I can't support it anymore and faints.

Yang Yan couldn't help but get up again, and he couldn't get rid of it if he wanted to.

Zhao Cao slowly turned around, only to feel that a true qi was transmitted into the body along the meridians, and his heart moved, knowing that someone was inputting true qi for himself to heal his injuries, he was busy reining his mind, running the true qi in his body, and cooperating with the other party. After a week of true luck, Zhao Cao opened his eyes, and only then did he see that it was Yang Yan who was healing his injuries, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "If you don't kill me, why do you want to save me, if you let Song Jun know, won't it affect you?"

Yang Yan shook his head, pretending to be relaxed: "I can't leave you alone, not to mention that I'm just a common person now, and I can't talk about whether it's even involved or not. What's more, the Song army has already withdrawn, and it won't be encountered."

Zhao Cao also knew about Yang Yan's dismissal, and was silent for a while before saying: "You saved my life, I will never forget it. I will answer you for saving your life."

Yang Yan waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, how is your injury now."

Zhao Cao said: "The skill has recovered two or three percent, and there is no problem in acting, but I'm afraid I can't do it yet."
