Chapter 488: Holy Maiden!
However, Wang Xian was scaring himself, at this moment, Wei Wujian was still looking at Pingxing Pass at Baishi Cliff and sighing, from years ago to now, he has launched more and more fierce attacks. But after Liu Zijin returned with supplies, the morale of the defenders soared, allowing his attacks to return again and again in vain, but with heavy losses.
As the war became more and more unfavorable, Wei Wujian had realized that it was almost impossible to break through the Pingxing Pass, although this made it difficult for the arrogant Wei Gongzi to accept...... Losing the Pingxing Pass will not threaten Guangling, after all, there is still a long depth, and there are enough passes to defend. But it will deprive his army of the way to advance!
Guangling County has three passages in the east, west and south, east and west directions, and it is impossible to face the armies of Xuanfu and Datong respectively in the case that the Ming army does not release water. Only the Pingxing Pass in the south can allow his army to forge ahead calmly! Now that Pingxingguan can't get it back, he has become extremely passive and can only wait for the situation to change...... For example, the Ming army could not be attacked for a long time, and the grandson was recalled to the capital, and the king of Han replaced him.
In any case, I can only look at other people's faces, which is too aggrieved. It's no wonder that Wei Wujian has a long night and has no intention of sleeping. Moreover, there was a rift between him and Yu Gui because of the disagreement in attacking Pingxingguan...... Yu Gui led the army that had been replaced, and he never came back after returning to Guangling County, which made Wei Wujian a little uneasy. After all, in this Guangling one-acre and three-point land, Yu Gui is the big boss, and he is his second master.
I really can't do it, so I can only give up this flat pass. Wei Wujian sighed, without the Guangling of Pingxingguan, it was like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to abandon it. Thinking of returning to Guangling and Yu Gui to reconcile, reorganize the army, pacify the sect, strengthen defenses, and wait for the opportunity, Wei Wuqian became irritable for a while. He is going to do great things, not to sit in the city of sorrow and be the king of the mountain!
Thinking of this, he put on a big hat in annoyance, got up and walked out of the camp tent, the wind outside stopped, the snow was lighter, revealing a gray-white sky, just as depressed as his mood, Wei Wujian actually had a feeling that it was better to return. This thought startled him, after all, it was more than 40,000 troops, hundreds of thousands of sect members, how could he give up such a great force?
Glancing at the direction of Guangling County, Wei Wujian secretly told himself to be patient, to be patient, to be patient, and to be patient, without patience it is impossible to achieve a big thing......
However, he will soon realize that he doesn't need to be patient, because the negligent Guangling defenders didn't even notice that people had touched the city!
The defenders at the head of Guangling City were more lazy than the defenders of the outer passes, and in their opinion, if there was any enemy situation, the outer passes would be discovered, and with the danger of the terrain, they could completely resist it. Even if you can't resist it, it's no problem to report it. With infinite trust in their outer comrades, half of the defenders went home for the New Year...... Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year, and the Chinese New Year's Eve is the most important part of this festival. The soldiers and pawns all wanted to go home for the New Year, but they could not leave people to guard the city, so Yu Gui moved smartly and ordered half of the soldiers to go home for the New Year on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the other half to be on duty, and then change on the night of the third day of the new year. Last night was the third day of the new year, so there were only half of the defenders in the city, and they had just returned from their homes for the New Year.
The rebels did not have the strict military discipline of the official army, although they were on duty at the head of the city, the round year was still going to be round, and the soldiers got together, bought wine and food, and drank all night in this snowy night, which was happier than celebrating the New Year at home. Originally, there were a few unlucky people who were patrolling outside and making a show, but after hearing the shouting and shouting of the people inside, they also slipped back to join the ranks of eating and drinking and playing for money. At dawn, everyone was drunk and tired, and climbed onto the Chase bunk and fell asleep.
This is also the reason why Wang Xian chose to do it during the Spring Festival, because at this time, it is the moment when people are most relaxed and want to have fun. When the Ming army touched the barracks of the defenders at the head of the city, they were almost not stunned by the smell of wine in it, "Ball, how can you be so ......virtuous" Having said that, seeing the enemy drunk like this, the Ming army was naturally overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward unceremoniously, raised the knife in his hand, and cut leeks to kill the defenders of the house! Then open the city gates and enlarge the army into the city.
When the Ming army entered Guangling City, the sky was already bright and the snow had stopped. The disciples in the city opened the doors of their houses one after another, preparing to go out into the street to release the New Year's whip, but when they saw the army entering the city, they couldn't help but be stunned and at a loss.
The Ming army also ignored these people and went straight to the general's mansion...... That is, the original Guangling County Ya left. Capture the thief and capture the king first, this principle is applicable everywhere, especially here!
In the Ya of Guangling County, Yu Gui is old and unconscious, and he has the habit of getting up early. At this moment, he was already freshening up and eating breakfast, and when he saw the soldiers outside the door stumbling and running in, he frowned unhappily, mud legs are always mud legs, and he can't learn the rules. "What's the matter?" Yu Gui asked in a deep voice, if this soldier can't say a Ding Mao, no matter whether it's the New Year or not, he will be beaten up!
"Newspaper... Report... Report...... It's a big deal," the soldier turned pale with fright, and stammered: "Officers, soldiers, officers and soldiers have entered the city!" ”
"Nonsense." Yu Gui smiled and said: "The official army is still in Taiyuan, do you fly in with wings?" ”
"But I really saw it," the soldier hurriedly said: "The black pressure is coming from the street, and the brothers have already closed the door of the mansion and gone to ring the alarm bell......" Before the words fell, the urgent alarm bell rang through the mansion, Yu Guicai's face changed, and he hurriedly went to the front of the mansion to see, and the soldiers behind him hurriedly put on a big coat for him.
There were 3,000 hardcore troops in the palace, and even when the attack on Pingxingguan was the most intense, he didn't need to use this old capital. At this moment, the army is assembling in a chaotic manner, some soldiers are not wearing armor, some officers are not wearing helmets, and some are simply not armed, and they are all asking each other what is going on. It wasn't until I saw Yu Gui come out that I was quieter.
"What's the panic, the sky can't fall." Yu Gui snorted coldly and said: "There should be a small number of troops who have defected, wait for me to mobilize a large army and crush them to ashes!" Hearing General Pingtian say this, all the officers and soldiers completely regained their composure, found their respective equipment, and rushed to their respective positions...... After this county government was changed to the Pingtian General's Mansion, it underwent some transformation, not only increased the courtyard wall, but also added facilities such as arrow towers and women's walls, and the garrison was very perfect. Moreover, the hoarded grain was enough for him and his three thousand soldiers to eat for half a year, and there was an independent water source, which could be described as painstaking.
After all, Yu Gui took the position from someone else, and he was worried about being taken back day and night, so he naturally had to strengthen his turtle shell at all costs. It is precisely with this turtle shell that he can be in chaos everywhere, climb the arrow tower and look out, he can't help but gasp, only to see that the people gathered in line outside the mansion are not any chaotic army, but wearing the armor of the Ming army, and it is really the official army that has been killed!
Yu Gui's scalp exploded at that time, and he almost didn't sit on the ground, his heart was full of question marks, how could it be, how could it be? How could the Ming army just enter the city and surround itself? Is this a dream? This must be a dream! He pinched himself hard, and he groaned in pain, and it was over, not a dream......
Seeing that General Pingtian, who was still very calm, he was stupid at the moment. A group of subordinates hurriedly helped him up, and the adjutant general hurriedly said: "General, the top priority is to resist the enemy!" I don't see that the number of Ming troops is large, as long as we hold on, we will have a way! ”
"That's right." Yu Guixiang was given a shot in the arm, and cheered up and said: "Order the children to defend with all their might, quickly send a signal to the left and right armies, and let them come to help quickly!" After a pause, he said: "By the way, we still have to gather the cultists, and if we drown, we will drown the officials and soldiers outside the mansion!" ”
"Yes!" One order after another was conveyed, and the Ming army over there began to attack the General's Mansion. In the eyes of the Ming army, so many seemingly insurmountable difficulties before have been easily overcome, and there is only one general's mansion left, is it not easy to capture? But the reality surprised them, they attacked from all sides at the same time, and met with stubborn resistance on all sides, and the enemy troops inside shot at them with bows and arrows and even firearms, and the Ming army paid a great price, but still could not conquer it immediately!
In that room, the Ming Christians who came back to their senses and the troops stationed in other parts of the county also came back to their senses and reinforced the county government one after another. Looking at the enemy troops pouring in from all directions, the rear army officers and soldiers in charge of sniping were numb, and it seemed that a bloody battle was inevitable!
Just as the two sides were getting closer and closer, and they had already begun to shoot at each other with bows and crossbows, suddenly a melodious sound of Buddhist music came, the music was ethereal and pure, as if it had a magical effect, and it actually made those soldiers and disciples slow down and show a look of surprise.
The Ming army also stopped firing because the music came from behind them.
In the sound of Buddhist music, a passage was separated in front of the Ming army, and ninety-nine men and women in white were guarded. Eighteen white-clothed sedan chairmen slowly came out with a Dharma chariot, which hung a transparent silk curtain, gently fluttering in the breeze after the snow, reflecting the Spring Festival saintess sitting on it, looking really like Guanyin Dashi.
"Holy Maiden, Holy Maiden!" The White Lotus Sect exploded on the spot, and many people knelt down on the spot to greet the Holy Maiden who had gone and returned. "Welcome to the Holy Maiden!"
But there are also many people who don't believe in saints, and loudly remind those who kneel: "She came out of the Ming army, and she either threw herself into the Ming army or was a spy of the Ming army!" ”
When the believers heard this, they also looked at the saint in confusion, hoping that she could give an explanation. The holy woman sitting on the Dharma chariot, her eyes slowly swept over the believers, and she lightly opened her lips and said, "Have you forgotten my teachings?" ”
"I can't wait." The disciples shook their heads one after another.
"Then you should not forget my parting words." The saint said lightly.
"I didn't forget." The believers recited aloud: "The holy woman said, I am in trouble, I have to travel far away, so I will do it myself; He also said, after I am gone, you will still be united and fraternal, and remember that General Tongtian is the Buddha's decree to lead you, and no one can replace him. You must be careful to serve General Tongtian as the main person to prevent anyone from usurping his throne. Again, when I return, it will be the day when you will transcend the sea of suffering. ”
