Chapter 120: The Third Battle of Wu Qing

Songshan Shaolin Temple, located in the central mountainous area of Henan, the location of Songshan is just contained in the Wu army out of the southwest mountainous area of Henan into the Central Plains must be on the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Due to the changes in history, Wu Sangui did not hang the Yongli Emperor as in history, so after Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, he was responded to by the people of Henan.

In the Shaolin Temple, Cai Jiuyi from South Shaolin is talking with the abbot Master Yongyu, in fact, the two of them are brothers, Cai Jiuyi was also in North Shaolin to worship Master Haikuan as a teacher, and studied art. And Yongyu is also Haikuan's disciple, so Cai Jiuyi is also Yongyu's senior brother. The Shaolin Temple has always been disobedient to the rule of the Qing court, especially the Southern Shaolin.

Although Henan, where Northern Shaolin is located, fell into the hands of the Qing court earlier, there were many Han people who resisted shaving their hair and making it easy to wear clothes and would rather become monks than wear ugly money rattail pigtails and ugly centipede costumes. This shows how bad the aesthetics of the Manchu Qing are! A shaved head looks much better than a money rattail.

The Shaolin Temple sheltered a large number of Han people who resisted shaving their hair and making it easy to wear, and it was naturally a gathering place for anti-Qing people.

Originally, in history, because Wu Sangui hanged Yongli, Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong died one after another, and the last anti-Qing rebel army on the mainland, Kuidong, was exterminated by the Qing court, and the anti-Qing people gradually became discouraged. In the fifth year of Kangxi, after the death of the abbot of Haikuan, Northern Shaolin became a plate of loose sand, and most of the anti-Qing people went to the south and defected to Southern Shaolin. After that, Southern Shaolin was surrounded and suppressed by the Qing army, and the incident of burning Southern Shaolin occurred. Since then, the Shaolin Temple has collapsed, and it was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the Northern Shaolin gradually recovered.

After the anti-Qing righteous people in the north fled to the south, the later Northern Shaolin was attached to the imperial court, Kangxi also wrote the big characters on the mountain gate to the Shaolin Temple, and Yongzheng also took out the silver to repair the Shaolin Temple. However, at that time, the Northern Shaolin was already despised by the Southern Shaolin, thinking that they had taken refuge in the Qing court, so for more than two hundred years, the real strong men were unwilling to go to the Northern Shaolin, and before the Guangxu period, the popularity of the Northern Shaolin was insufficient.

Today's history has changed, after the death of Master Haikuan, Yongyu succeeded Haikuan as the abbot of Northern Shaolin, because the Qing army was defeated all the way, and many anti-Qing people stayed in Northern Shaolin, preparing to take over the Wu army of the Northern Expedition.

In addition, among the warrior monks and lay disciples of Northern Shaolin, there are also many hidden agents of the Heaven and Earth Society, waiting for the Northern Expedition of the Wu Army and mobilizing all the disciples of Northern Shaolin to respond to the Northern Expedition.

"Master! Master! Something is wrong! The Tartars gathered outside the mountain gate and said that they would search for the master! Just as Cai Jiuyi was discussing with Yongyu, a little monk outside stumbled in.

"Senior brother! Walk from the back mountain! The Tartars are coming for you! As long as you are not there, forgive them and don't dare to offend the holy land of Buddhism! Yongyu stood up and said.

Cai Jiuyi sat motionless on the futon, her eyes slightly closed, her hands folded, and she said with words in her mouth: "Amitabha!" There are many disciples of Shaolin Temple who are anti-Qing righteous people, and when the Tartars come today, there will be a big disaster in North Shaolin! The poor monk is a disciple of Northern Shaolin, how can he leave his brothers and sisters to escape by himself? Since the Tartars have forcibly broken into the holy land of Buddhism, let's overtake them to Elysium! ”

"That's right! Go beyond them to Elysium! Several warrior monks took up sticks and swords.

In the Shaolin Temple, there are more than 500 monks and more than 3,000 lay disciples, the Qing army is assembled at the foot of Song Mountain, and may attack the mountain at any time, the monks and lay disciples in the Shaolin Temple have taken up arms, ready to resist the Qing army.

"Swear to defend Shaolin to the death!" There was an earth-shattering roar in the Shaolin Temple.

Listening to the roar in the Shaolin Temple, Zhao Liangdong sneered: "I have heard for a long time that Shaolin martial arts are the best in the world!" These bald asses and their disciples are all strong in martial arts! It's a pity that they are just a rabble! We are the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, and the bald donkeys want to block the car with their mantis arms? Hum! ”

"Junmen, can we start?" A pro-soldier came up and asked.

"Pass my order and attack the mountain!" Zhao Liangdong pulled out his knife and pointed in the direction of Shaolin Temple.

"Kill!" Crowds of Qing soldiers shouted, rushed into the mountain gate, and rushed towards the Shaolin Temple on the mountain.

The Qing army rushed through the mountain gate and entered the Yongdao. On both sides is the stele forest under the shade of pine and cypress, and the Qing army ran between the forest and the stele forest, rushing to the palace of the heavenly king like crazy.

The gate of the Tianwang Hall was closed, and more than a dozen Qing soldiers rushed to the gate, pushed hard, and hit them with their shoulders, but the gate did not move at all, and it was obvious that the door bolt was closed inside the gate, and it was blocked with sandbags.

"Crash away!" Zhao Liangdong appeared at the door of the Heavenly King Palace.

Dozens of Qing soldiers hugged the thick log and slammed into the gate of the Heavenly King Palace. The Qing soldiers were panting and slammed into the gate of the Heavenly King Hall one by one. The lay disciples of the Shaolin Temple inside desperately resisted the gate.

Just when a group of Qing soldiers hit the gate, another group of Qing soldiers carried the ladder and rushed to the outside of the wall, put the ladder on the wall, and a group of Qing soldiers climbed up the wall along the ladder.

As soon as the first Qing soldier climbed the wall, a lay disciple stabbed him with a wooden stick, which was accurate and ruthless, directly shattering the throat of the Qing soldier, and the Qing soldier screamed and fell down from the wall. The second soldier climbed up, and like the first soldier, he was hit by a stick on the door, and his cheekbones were shattered, and with a scream, an upside-down onion fell from the wall.

The lay disciples guarding the walls were strong in martial arts, and the Qing soldiers who climbed the wall were constantly killed by them with wooden sticks.

Seeing groups of Qing soldiers climbing up the wall, but they were all beaten and fell, Zhao Liangdong yelled: "Release the arrows!" Shoot these bald asses! With rockets! Burn this bird temple! ”

The Qing archers stretched their bows and pulled their bowstrings. Someone took a torch and lit a bow and arrow wrapped in cotton cloth and stained with pine oil. Then as soon as the Qing archers let go, one by one the feathered arrows with fire flew into the sky, pulled out an arc, and hung into the Shaolin Temple. A row of random arrows was shot down, and a scream was heard inside, and many lay disciples were shot.

Although the lay disciples of Shaolin Temple were strong in martial arts, they had no armor to protect them, and they were covered by a rain of arrows falling like flying locusts, and many people were immediately pierced into the flesh by arrows and fell injured. Others were shot in the vital point, struggled a few times, and then stopped breathing, and others were shot like hedgehogs.

Just when the Qing army was suppressed by archers, the Qing soldiers at the gate were also ramming hard. After another moment, only to hear the sound of wood breaking, and the door of the Heavenly King's Hall was knocked open.

"The door is open!" The Qing soldiers outside shouted excitedly.

"Kill the bald donkey!" Crowds of Qing soldiers shouted and poured into the Shaolin Temple.

"Array!" Yongyu roared.

The Shaolin lay disciples immediately formed an arhat formation, and all the wooden sticks were aimed at the influx of Qing troops. In fact, the Shaolin Temple also knows how to fight in formations, and uses formations to defeat strong enemies many times.

The first group of Qing soldiers who poured into the temple crashed headlong into the Arhat Formation and were knocked down in one fell swoop.
