Chapter 194: The murderous aura surges, and the wolf emerges from the sea of blood
A huge round sun hangs high in the sky.
But there was no sense of warmth in the surrounding heaven and earth.
The white clouds stacked up in the sky had turned a rich red color at some point, and at first glance it looked like the sky was weeping blood.
On both sides of the Han River and in Xiangfan, there is no longer any peace.
The bone-chilling murderous atmosphere filled every space and permeated every inch of land.
A short time.
The land of Jingxiang seemed to have experienced the rotation of seasons, jumping directly from the hot summer into the bitter cold winter.
"Report!"
Under the general's tent, scouts came galloping.
"To the east of Xiangyang, the Yuan army is galloping along the side of Xianshan Mountain and has built a floating bridge to cross the Han River here."
"Is there Temujin's tent?"
"Nothing was discovered. The vanguard that crossed the Han River was fighting under the flags of Subutai and Kublai Lai, but the follow-up troops continued to arrive, with at least three to four wings of troops." The scout responded immediately.
"Subutai, Kublai, these are the four mastiffs under Temujin's command." Li Jing said softly.
Around Xiangyang, the Han River is like a semicircle, wrapping around the city.
On its northwest side, across the Han River, is Fancheng.
To the south are towering mountains.
Among them, Danshan is only the southeast section.
The terrain here is quite complex. Not only is it backed by mountains, but it is also interspersed with water networks.
It is not very suitable for large-scale cavalry deployment.
The appearance of the Yuan army here does not mean that they will use this place as the main attack point. The most likely possibility is that they are just there to provide support.
The Thirteen Golden Wings of Cavalry under Temujin's command.
Initially, it was led by his most trusted four heroes, four mastiffs, four brave men and the prince consort with the golden sword.
Among them, the Golden Sword Prince Consort Guo Jing defected, and part of the Thirteen Wings was destroyed.
Later, Ogedei and Tolui inherited the throne of the Yuan Dynasty, but died early due to the influence of national fortune.
So they were all handed over to later generations to inherit.
Temujin handed over Tolui's wing of troops to Hulagu, also known as Sihanfei, to lead.
After Ogedei succeeded to the throne of Khan from Mongke's lineage, he carried out a brutal purge of the former's power in the country.
Therefore, Temujin handed over the wing that belonged to him to Batu, the son of Jochi.
As for the other wings, the four heroes, who were the strongest and most respected generals under Temujin, were not killed and always followed Temujin.
Only Zhebie, one of the four mastiffs and Guo Jing's archery master, committed suicide because of Guo Jing's defection.
Therefore, Temujin is suspected to have handed over his wing to Wang Baobao, the son of King Ruyang.
Among them, the Four Heroes have always been the strongest, while the troops of the Four Mastiffs and the Four Sons are slightly inferior in combat effectiveness due to successive twists and turns.
At this time, the scouts reported the flags of Subutai and Kublai, and the number of soldiers and horses, which of course made people think of Temujin's four mastiffs.
Gao Changsheng nodded but did not give any orders immediately.
He was waiting for the next information. Since the four mastiffs had already appeared, the rest of the troops must not be far away.
In fact it is.
Just a quarter of an hour later.
Another voice sounded.
"Report."
"Mu Huali, Chi Lao Wen and the four outstanding cavalrymen led by him appeared on the west side of Fancheng and are moving in at a very fast speed, but they have not launched an attack on Fancheng. Judging from their direction, they seem to be going along Fancheng and bypassing our army's rear."
Hearing this, Li Jing looked up suddenly.
"Temujin is using his old tricks again, using his four strongest warriors as outflanking troops."
Among Temujin's current subordinates, excluding the Military Soul Unit, the strongest are undoubtedly the four wings led by the four heroes.
Moreover, unlike the military soul which is only an army, Mu Huali and the other four heroes are all capable of acting independently.
Needless to say, its importance to Temujin.
Now Temujin has placed them on the flank of Fancheng, and his purpose is very clear.
"General, do you need to send an order to Li Shimin to send troops to intercept the enemy?"
Their current formation is that Li Shimin is in Fancheng, Yang Xuangan is in Xiangyang, and Gao Changsheng's tent is in the middle.
Although there are not many soldiers and horses in the two cities, sending out troops would leave the cities empty.
But the two cities are connected at this time.
Their large army can support the two cities at any time, so even if Fancheng sends troops, there is no need to worry too much about this.
"Four heroes, west side of Fancheng."
He whispered softly, and a gleam of light flashed in Gao Changsheng's eyes.
But this change only happened in a moment, and even Li Jing, who had been standing beside him, did not notice it at all.
"of course."
"Pass on my order to Li Shimin to send 3,000 soldiers to intercept the Mongol troops and never allow them to penetrate our rear."
"Three thousand? Interception?"
Li Jing raised his eyes suddenly when he heard that, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but the next second he seemed to have thought of something, and the surprise in his eyes turned into contemplation.
But before he could think about it.
The surrounding heaven and earth, including the ground beneath the feet, were shaking terribly.
A loud bang that was powerful enough to blow through everything hit everyone's ears.
"Boom!"
It sounded like a heavy drum, like thunder, and also like a terrible roar coming from the mouth of an unknown giant beast.
"Temujin is here."
Even without looking, Li Jing could tell the reason.
Because the aura between heaven and earth has changed drastically at this moment.
If we say that originally the land of Xiangfan was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
At this moment, the extremely strong murderous aura has completely boiled over.
It was like a pot of boiling oil was instantly filled with a bucket of cold water.
The towering clouds, with a hazy blood color, rose from the earth and covered the entire Xiangfan in just a moment.
For ordinary people, they have long lost sight of what is happening before their eyes.
The blood that swept in from the end of the sky and earth, and emerged from the ground and in all directions, had dyed everything that the eyes could see.
Unable to see or touch, all that was left to them was endless coldness and fear.
"Ouch..."
And as the blood fell.
An even colder, sharper voice came piercing towards him like the light of a sword.
Wolf howling.
A wolf howl filled with murderous aura.
By this time, there would no longer be any doubt.
It's clear to everyone.
That Genghis Khan, that gray wolf from the northern desert.
coming.
The sound of killing accompanied by blood was undoubtedly his declaration.
It was also his greeting to Gao Changsheng.
Li Jing's face was solemn. He immediately turned around and looked at Gao Changsheng.
His expression didn't show fear.
But facing Temujin, no one in the world dared to take it lightly.
At this time, of course, he wanted to know Gao Changsheng's arrangements.
But before he could ask.
Another louder wolf howl was heard.
It interrupted Li Jing's voice and also interrupted Li Jing's thoughts.
Blood clouds rolled in the sky.
And in this surging blood, a terrifying wolf that made one's scalp tingle suddenly stepped out, stepping on the blood waves and roaring at this place.
Looking around, everything in the distance is blurry.
I couldn’t see the Han River clearly, I couldn’t see the Yuan army clearly, and I couldn’t see Temujin’s banner clearly.
Of course, at this time, everyone's attention was focused on the huge wolf that stood tall and proud.
"The Qiexue Army, the soul of the army."
Even Li Jing couldn't help but exclaim.
The Qiexue Army is Temujin's strongest force at that time.
And what does sacrificing the military spirit represent?
No need to say much at all.
It means that Temujin has launched an attack.
No temptation, no greeting.
He didn't even expose his own flag and launched the attack directly.
Before the troops show up, we must first pay tribute to the military spirits.
There is no doubt that Temujin regarded the Qiexue Army as the spearhead.
Put the strongest force on the first attack.
We must make a concerted effort to defeat and even crush them.
"Commander!"
Li Jing turned his head suddenly.
But he also discovered that Gao Changsheng's right hand was raised at this time.
The wind blew hard, and tall flags with Chinese characters flew out in the sky, seeming to represent something inexplicable.
"Om~"
Just at this moment, a loud noise was heard between heaven and earth.
A huge military formation appeared out of thin air.
It looks like a giant net and also like a sword.
But no matter what it is, there is no doubt about the direction the formation is heading.
It was at the moment when the big formation appeared.
The tremors that were originally rolling along the earth were quickly calmed down.
The sound of the rushing Han River, which had disappeared for a long time, reappeared.
"Hu~~"
Li Jing let out a long breath.
But the solemnity on his face did not disappear.
He knew that the shock just now must have been caused by Temujin.
The other side wanted to rely on military formations to change the terrain around Xiangyang.
Suppressed by Gao Changsheng.
But at this time, the biggest threat to them was undoubtedly the giant wolf.
It’s the Qiexue Army.
In Xiangfan area, in front of Han River, a giant wolf appeared, its murderous aura like a boiling tide.
The shocking war broke out.
The Yuan army had just arrived when the war began.
And she reached climax in the blink of an eye.
That was the moment when the Qiexue army summoned their military spirit and attacked the Sui army without any hesitation.
Surrounding regions and countries.
Many people also felt it at the first moment.
The recent ones are the Song Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, and the surrounding small ethnic minority countries.
Then go to further places, such as Beimang, Liyang, and even Daming.
At the same time, someone raised his head.
Each pair of eyes, as if able to cross space, fell on the same target.
Joy, anticipation, worry, fear.
All kinds of emotions emerged from those eyes.
For a time, the entire eastern part of Kyushu was plunged into turmoil.
Some are on high alert, while others are preparing for battle.
No one knows where the future situation will go.
……
Northwest of the Song Dynasty, Western Xia.
After experiencing Gao Changsheng's turmoil, Xixia is now like a frightened bird.
Although the Iron Harrier had been recalled long ago.
But at this time, neither the Xixia emperor nor his court officials dared to take any action.
After all, they had experienced a crisis of national destruction.
And for them, the most important thing now is to lick their wounds.
Gao Changsheng passed through Western Xia, although he did not attack the capital in the end.
But along the way, there was no trace of retention.
Only they themselves knew how much damage Gao Changsheng's march had caused to their Western Xia.
To the south of Xixia, the terrain will become higher and higher as you move forward along this path.
And in front of us is Xixia’s neighbor, a rather special country, Tubo.
Due to the terrain, many places in Tubo are covered with snow all year round.
On top of a snowy mountain.
Next to a steep cliff.
A young man with red lips and white teeth, and a special aura all over his body, is looking up at somewhere in the distance.
"Gao Changsheng, Temujin."
"War God Temple, God..."
An inaudible murmur came gently from the young man's mouth.
But at the end, the boy suddenly stopped talking and slowly turned his head.
"Crack, snap, snap!"
As he turned his head, the sounds around him became clearer.
A very rhythmic beating sound came into my ears.
Of course, it is not as disgusting as many people think.
As the sight turns.
On the snow several hundred meters away from the boy.
An old monk with white hair and beard was holding a wooden stick and beating another monk who was kneeling in the snow.
Every time the wooden stick falls, one can feel the fluctuation of the surrounding true energy.
Looking at the monk kneeling on the snow, you can clearly see the shaking bun on his head.
However, what attracted people's attention most at this moment was not his hairstyle, but the bumps on his forehead that were caused by beatings.
"Traitor, traitor."
"Master will let you temper your mind in the mortal world, wash away your obsessions, and focus on the Buddha's heart."
"I didn't expect you to be so unpromising that you were tricked around with a few secret books."
“How come my Nyingma sect produced something like you, a secret book? Is the secret book so important?” the old monk shouted while smoking.
From the fluctuations of true energy revealed in his every move, it can be seen that the old monk is quite powerful.
But at this moment he was breathing heavily, and it was obvious how angry he was.
"Who told Master not to teach me the unique skills of Nyingma? Besides, the secret manual is..."
When the kneeling monk heard the word "secret book", his eyes lit up for no reason and he muttered instinctively.
But the person in front of him was so powerful that his whispering voice was actually no different from shouting.
In an instant, the old monk's body shook.
A nameless anger surged from my heart.
From afar, at this moment, the old monk seemed to have turned into an angry Mingwang.
"Secrets, snap! This old monk is going to teach you the secrets, snap!"
"Greed blinds the eyes, snap! Lose the big picture for the small. Snap!"
"You, you dare to use Gaden Monastery as an excuse to ask the king to borrow the Buddha Armor Cavalry. Who gave you the courage?"
The old monk's eyes turned red with anger.
As Jiumozhi's master, he certainly knows this disciple's talent better than anyone else.
But he also knew the other person's distracting thoughts.
This is also the reason why he drove Jiumozhi out of the temple and let him experience the secular world.
All along, he has been waiting for the day when this disciple will transform.
But what he never expected was that what he waited for was the news that the other party deceived the king and called in the Buddhist Cavalry.
That is the soul of Tubo’s army.
For the crime of deceiving the emperor, he summoned Buddha Jia.
If this kind of thing happened to anyone, it would be enough to wipe out the entire clan several times.
It was because Jiumozhi had the support of Gaden Monastery that he was not affected, and even the deception was suppressed by them.
But even though he suppressed it, it didn't mean he wasn't angry.
Especially since the other party was only after the secret book.
"Master, I am only helping out a little, and the Buddha Armor Cavalry has not suffered any loss. Besides, the secret book is..."
The old monk became so violent that even Jiumozhi couldn't bear it and kept shouting.
At this moment, the word "secret book" is the biggest stimulation for the old monk.
The old monk didn't hear anything else said, but the true energy in his body seemed to be boiling.
A vast aura burst out.
Jiumozhi's eyelids twitched because the old monk was emitting the aura of Dharma.
Even though he knew that the master would not do anything to him, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling at this moment.
"Amitabha, stop it."
Just at this moment, a peaceful voice sounded.
The old monk's violent breath was calmed in an instant.
Turning around, the young man with red lips and white teeth was walking slowly towards this place.
Looking at the person who came, Jiumozhi also showed a respectful expression.
"Ancestor."
The old monk dropped the stick in his hand, bowed deeply and saluted.
Jiumozhi was born in the oldest Kathok Monastery of the Nyingma school.
And the founder of the Nyingma school.
There is no doubt that it can only be the person that Gao Changsheng and Jiumozhi talked about last time.
"Amitabha, I am a little curious, what is the secret book that made you do all this?"
The young man looked at Jiumozhi with a smile.
Seeing that the master did not look angry, Jiumozhi breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at his master first.
The meaning seems to be that the ancestors are still speaking the truth.
This action almost made the old monk go berserk again.
"Master, this is the Sambhogakaya Jue of the Three Bodies Sambhogakaya. It is the legendary Buddha's personal teaching. If we can obtain it, our Nyingma sect..."
"Amitabha, I see." The young man nodded with a smile.
But the old monk sighed softly.
The law of retribution of the three bodies surprised him, but for the Nyingma school, it is important and unimportant.
After all, the Nyingma school has its own system and is not lacking in fundamental inheritance.
But he could see that Jiumozhi was keen on the secret book, which made him speechless and helpless.
"Grandmaster, among the three bodies, the last method of combining the three bodies into one has long disappeared. As for the rest, my Nyingma sect has mastered the method of the response body, the method of the Dharma body is in the hands of the Gelug sect, and the method of the reward body should be in the hands of the Sakya sect."
The old monk did not move his lips, but his voice reached the young man's ears.
"Now that the Body Reward Art appears in Gao Changsheng's hands, could it contain..."
The old monk spoke cautiously.
The various Tantric sects have never been in harmony because of their beliefs and followers.
Among them, the struggle between the Nyingma and Sakya sects was particularly fierce.
I will not be like Jiumozhi, who forgets everything after seeing the secret book.
The first thing he considered was whether there was Sakya sect behind this.
"The Sakya sect has its roots in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Given Gao Changsheng's personality, this possibility is unlikely."
The peaceful voice fell into the ears of the old monk.
"Of course, anything is possible."
"Whether it is true or not, whether there is any conspiracy or not, I will tell you after I see it myself."
Such a simple sentence frightened the old monk.
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster, do you want to..."
But the young man did not respond to the old monk, but walked directly in front of Jiumozhi.
"I am also quite interested in the Three Bodies Retribution Method and the Retribution Body Secret. Why don't you take me to see General Gao?"
The young man laughed softly.
Hearing this, Jiumozhi instinctively showed a look of confusion.
Of course he knew who was in front of him.
This person is the ancestor of the Nyingma sect. Who knows what will happen if he is taken to see Gao Changsheng directly?
"Amitabha, I have a great light lotus hand seal, and I have always wanted to find a successor in the temple."
Before he finished speaking, Jiumozhi took a step forward.
"Master, since I have received your order, I dare not refuse."
"General Gao once told me that he has admired the master for a long time."
