Chapter 7, Great Victory at Beihai
The Daoists are known for their technique of reviving the dead and transforming flesh into white bones, among which Nezha is a representative figure
Seeing this, the warrior once again led the rebels forward. Having lost a general, the morale of the merchant army diminished, and they began to retreat in disarray
Evil came charging towards Yuan Futong, for the bandit leader was the first to achieve merit
Originally, the purpose of the subordinates was to allow them to act arrogantly and domineeringly during their travels, trampling on flowers and plants, overturning small stalls and vendors to create a bad reputation, but now...
We are the imperial guards of the Son of Heaven
The rebels suddenly discovered that their own enlightened monks had transformed into individual wolves, tigers, and leopards, causing them to lose their composure.
Kong Xuan has made his move
Yet it is this very sentence that can instill in them a sense of honor, a kind of lofty pride
This breath did not allow Yuan Futong to attain enlightenment, yet it was not something an ordinary soldier could obstruct. However, Kong Xuan, who was capable of dealing with him, was currently occupied with capturing both great and minor demons and could not arrive in time.
There is also this operation
Kong Xuan spent tens of thousands of years refining it, shedding his original form, and attaining a human body
Wen Zhong has a very good impression of the new commander, while Fei Lian possesses little talent and has relied on connections to rise through the ranks. Therefore, he holds great respect for this loyal grand tutor of King Zhou.
Although Chiyou has been ground into minced meat and cannot be resurrected, a wisp of his breath still lingers in the North Sea
There is no need to elaborate on Deputy Commander Kong Xuan; Wen Zhong considers himself to be on par with Kong Xuan, which gives him considerable confidence
The morale of the troops was about to collapse, scattering in all directions. Yuan Futong was also extremely terrified and urgently ordered his subordinates to retreat quickly
The rebels launched their attacks one after another; some wielded whiskers, creating layers of defense in the air, while others rode swords, unleashing bolts of heavenly thunder with each strike. Additionally, a burly man let out a furious roar towards the sky and shattered rocks with a single punch
He is preparing to return to the court to educate King Zhou, stating that military training should not be conducted in this manner. The imperial guard represents the image of the emperor; how can it be so?
Monster
It is precisely this lingering spirit that disturbs the tranquility of the North Sea and incites Yuan Futong to harbor rebellious intentions
It appears to be arrogant and self-important, but in reality, it is merely a facade.
Yuan Futong found it somewhat baffling; why did the military suddenly change its commander? Although morale decreased significantly after the change, the arrival of a fierce general like E Lai boosted morale again as battles progressed
Unmatched by anyone, no one dares to confront; in the face of demons and monsters, ordinary people possess limited strength and are filled with fear, and none have the courage to step forward.
Previously, there were no formidable generals among Wen Zhong's army. Wen Zhong needed to maintain a balance against the Northern Sea demons and could not conveniently take action himself, which led to a stalemate between the two sides. However, with the emergence of E Lai, this balance was disrupted
Kong Xuan did not rush to take action; instead, it was E Lai who led the charge. Several powerful warriors displayed exceptional skills, and E Lai fought four opponents without losing ground, truly a match of equals. After a considerable time of battle, E Lai, endowed with innate divine strength, knocked one down, and the remaining warriors could not withstand the pressure, gradually retreating.
Feilian was not pleased with the unexpected situation. While preparing the troops for battle, he instructed someone to notify Kong Xuan, as he suspected that the opponent was well-prepared and could only rely on Kong Xuan for assistance.
This is Feilian's first significant victory since arriving in Beihai, and he is extremely excited, diligently commanding his troops as they relentlessly pursue Yuan Futong, displaying an unwavering determination to achieve their objective.
The next day, Feilian invited Yuan Futong to battle
One month later, Feilian is gathering the generals to analyze the situation of the war
Human psychology is not easily changed; one can only gradually brainwash them with words, making them feel empowered, in order to become domineering.
We are the imperial guards of the Son of Heaven
Soon, the ice and snow will melt away
We are the imperial guards of the Son of Heaven
Swish
Feilian also reacted quickly, leading his troops to launch a surprise attack. The rebel forces had lost all will to fight, resembling a flock of lambs, ready to be slaughtered, and many soldiers surrendered.
Wen Zhong welcomed the commander Fei Lian and the deputy commander Kong Xuan into the tent. After the handover was completed, he rode away on the ink qilin
Without the use of sorcery and magical arts, it is simply impossible to prevail
Thus, every day, there is nothing else; it is just the same sentence repeated over and over again
Are you perhaps afraid of having your achievements taken away
He indeed lacks talent, but he excels at listening to the opinions of others, just as he previously listened to the suggestions of his two sons, and is currently listening to the analyses of the generals regarding the military situation
As Kong Xuan spoke, Fei Lian was taken aback. Clearly, it was his own son who had the advantage in the arena, so why should he be cautious and even retreat back to the original formation
One person, two people, the voices growing louder and louder...
Kong Xuan was still busy dealing with one monster after another, thoroughly enjoying himself
Yuan Futong was running when suddenly, something ahead twisted strangely, and a bizarre black mist surged forth
Kong Xuan said: "General, please wait. Allow me to subdue these monsters and transport them to Chaoge for His Majesty to observe."
The five small feathers, however, seem as heavy as the ancient mountains, and only those with great magical power can stir them. The five-colored divine light is divided according to the five elements; with a twist, nothing can escape its grasp
vulgar, intolerably vulgar
At this moment, even during the pursuit, the royal guards, striding with an imposing gait, began to move.
Even the sense of fear in my heart is not so pronounced
Both sides deployed regular troops, and the enemy engaged in battle, resulting in the decapitation of hundreds, achieving a successful first victory
Suddenly, the sound of horns was heard; Beihai has taken the initiative to deploy troops
As he departed, Wen Zhong could not help but exclaim that King Zhou had been dormant for seven years and had finally taken action. Although he had never commanded an army, his dispatch of generals and mobilization of troops were remarkably organized, clearly indicating that he had studied the matter meticulously.
With a loud crash, the demon sorcerers and warriors revealed their true forms, transforming into birds and beasts, trembling and unable to move on the battlefield
It is said that they are the royal guards personally trained by King Zhou. Each of them shows no discernible expression, nor do they appear to have undergone rigorous training. There is a complete lack of rules and order; instead, their manner of walking is particularly arrogant and unappealing
During their training, the trainees were not taught anything else; they were instructed to widen their steps and keep their heads held high
The five-colored divine light in hand is the innate chaotic energy, which, during the differentiation of the five elements, nurtured Kong Xuan, leading to the growth of the five feathers at its tail
After this battle, the rebel forces in Beihai raised a banner of truce, allowing the enemy to challenge them, yet they refused to engage in combat
Feilian and Kong Xuan led their troops out of the camp to engage in battle. Upon reaching the front lines, they saw that the warriors from Beihai were still the same few from the previous day, but there were now several tall and strong warriors, along with dozens of Taoist priests.
... ...
The five-colored divine light takes the form of five three-foot-long feathers, resembling a series of swords, each distinguished by its color, categorized as blue, yellow, red, black, and white. They subtly circulate, yet do not radiate outward, flowing internally.
General E Lai is also a formidable general among men, while Ji Sheng is responsible for logistics; although he has not achieved great merit, he has also not committed any major errors
Henan and Hebei are not far apart, and even if the army led by Feilian consists only of mortals, it will arrive in no time.
Of course, Wen Zhong also has his grievances, such as the hundred guards surrounding Fei Lian
Zhuolu is the place where Chiyou fell
A simple sentence, recited thousands and tens of thousands of times each day, has long been etched into my very bones
As Yuan Futong was about to approach Feilian to take his life
As Kong Xuan's voice fell, several strong warriors fiercely swung their weapons, forcing E Lai to retreat and jump out of the circle. At the same time, a Daoist waved his hand, and a beam of white light illuminated E Lai, instantly immobilizing him in place
We are the imperial guards of the Son of Heaven
With two strikes, the thunder ceases its roar
As the breath entered his body, Yuan Futong let out a sinister smile and turned to charge towards the location of the central army's Feilian.
The blinding white light that subdued the evil presence dissipated, and the evil being realized that it was Kong Xuan who had saved him. He scratched his bald head in gratitude and then tore apart a tiger that had transformed back into its original form, splitting it in half. Wielding the two halves, he charged into the fray.
Kong Xuan had been paying close attention to the situation in the arena, but he realized something was amiss: "General, be careful, retreat quickly."
