Chapter 942 Bloody Battle in Ulsan (8)
Taihe Jiang.
The Japanese and the allied forces faced each other across the water, and it was freezing cold at the moment, and a layer of hard ice had formed on both sides, only a small area in the middle, because the water flow was too fast, it was not completely frozen.
In order to set an example for his subordinates, Hachisuka Jiazheng immediately drove the different horses under his crotch to jump in, and all the generals were inspired and followed.
The son of General Todo Takatora, Todo Takara, was greatly encouraged to see the bravery of the seniors, and he also brandished his spear and followed.
Many young people, who are not superstitious about the Red Lotus Fire and Lu Li's terror, are eager to break the myth of the Ming army and win the Taige's favor.
At this point, the two armies officially confronted each other.
When Yang Gao heard that the Japanese vanguard had reached the front of the formation, his expression changed drastically. Because of his intentional delay, the state of ordinary soldiers was affected, and their combat power was reduced by more than 20%.
the other side.
The common nightmare in the eyes of the soldiers of the three countries:
Daoshan City.
Kato Kiyomasa didn't know how many allies came and where they arrived, because all kinds of abnormalities were covered, but judging from the performance of the Ming army, as long as they survived the disaster in front of them, there would be no danger or danger——
It was freezing cold, and the Ming army was unable to organize a second wave of counterattacks, so they could only wait for the spring, and at that time, the 100,000 allied troops from the Kanto region arrived.
There are nearly 200,000 warriors in one place, and the battle is far superior to that of the Renchen year. Whether it is to continue to intensify the northward invasion, or to nibble a little bit, it can be very calm.
As far as Lu Li is concerned, he also has to take Kato Kiyomasa's head as soon as possible, otherwise, Yang Gao will stage that scene in history:
A commander in command of a 50,000-strong army actually ran away by himself without completing the retreat? !
Thanks to this envoy who was listed as one of the most disgraced generals in the Ming Dynasty, the ugliest and most deplorable scene appeared in the entire war to aid Korea.
Affected by emotions, the various ministries that could have retreated calmly immediately lost their lineup and left their supplies and equipment, lest they would be surrounded and wiped out by the Japanese army if they left late.
From an orderly retreat to a major crash.
Therefore……
Lu Li's attack was a killer move.
The three-headed and six-armed Zhu Yan stood tall, and the black-maned horse and bull demon also used similar methods to enlarge their bodies and maximize their strength.
When Kato saw this, he didn't waste any time. This time, he didn't bring any personal guards, let alone the family banner, so he directly took out the relic presented by Taige.
This is a Buddhist treasure urgently brought from the mainland.
At that time, the monk Jianzhen of the Tang Dynasty secretly crossed to the east in spite of the opposition of the imperial court. He not only brought Buddhist scriptures, but also various prescriptions (translated "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" into Japanese and passed it on to the Japanese), Wang Xizhi's original works, Sangluan posts, Wang Xianzhi's original works, Nearly 50 pairs of calligraphers of various kinds, and 3,000 relics of the real body of the Buddha.
Especially for the latter, the Japanese specially built the Zhaoti Temple and enshrined all the relics of the real body in the pagoda.
Right now, during the invasion, in order to resist the karmic fire of the red lotus, 3,000 Buddha relics have been invited out. Isn't Jianzhen helping the enemy?
【Namomiaofa Lotus Sutra】
Three thousand relics floated in the air, all glowing together, making this place extraordinarily brilliant.
Under the general illumination, the words on the military flag erupted with brilliant Buddha light, and a golden body of Buddha sat upright in the void.
Last time it was Avalokitesvara, this time it was Tathagata Buddha.
Going back further, Lu Li had seen this appearance condensed by Pudu Cihang, a thousand-year-old centipede spirit.
Maybe in the future, we can see mice in the gutter and perform Buddhist magic, right?
"Namo Amitabha!"
The voice is grand and compassionate, like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, accompanied by flashes of Buddha light that are almost condensed into substance.
The body is burly, with a plump face and a broad nose, with a bare right shoulder.
"Buddha... Buddha... Patriarch?"
Soldiers from the Ming, Dynasty, and Japanese countries around him recognized him at a glance. After all, Buddha statues can be seen in temples in their respective countries.
Bathed in the Buddha's light, the warriors quickly recovered from their hunger-depleted bodies. The Ming and Chao generals trembled in fright, and the generals scolded the old bald donkey in their hearts for being blind and helping the executioner and the invaders!
As the person involved, Lu Li guessed the source of this object, and he felt a little bit of resentment towards the old monk Jianzhen, who was forbidden by the imperial court to teach the Dharma, so this guy smuggled out.
Smuggled several times!
Not only that, if it is really just to educate and be good, it will be fine, and I will go there with countless national treasures.
Nowadays, the Japanese use the relics he sent back then to deal with Ming soldiers. I don't know if the old monk Quanxia knows and will regret it.
"Tathagata Buddha!"
The method used to cover up the secret was knocked away by the aura emanating from the golden body.
By the riverside, the Japanese warriors stared wide-eyed, and their inconceivable expressions were beyond words. Some guys who believed in the Nichiren sect hurriedly fell to their knees and shouted reverently:
"Meet the Buddha!"
Then, with the heart of winning, he killed the Ming army.
In the past, when two Japanese armies besieged Namwon, they dragged Buddha statues from nearby temples and marched around the city to demonstrate, which had a great impact on the morale of the defenders.
This is how Lu Li took the initiative to go out of the city to snatch and kill Tachibana Zongshige.
Of course, these are old things.
How to restore the low morale is also something that the leaders of the ministries should think about.
This moment.
Lu Li, who turned into Vermillion Yan, was attacking the golden body with the cooperation of the black-maned horse and the bull demon.
"Namo Amitabha!"
The name of the Buddha remains the same.
Tathagata's golden body looked neither happy nor sad, sitting cross-legged in the void, strips of Buddha's light rose around his body, forming a halo similar to sunlight.
At the same time, Dao Dao Sanskrit sounded.
clang! Clank!
The sound of Jin Ming resounded through the heaven and earth.
Looking at the unmoving golden body, Lu Li said in a deep voice, "You two go to the side to fight. Lead the demon battalion and help the other three sects capture the city from the inside. You can play by ear."
I had discussed with the black-maned horse before, what would it do if I died in this battle.
And this shows that Lu Li already has the idea of dying together.
After all, except for the Emperor Sword, Honglian Yehuo, and the Peach Blossom Sword given by Chunsanniang, it is not crucial whether the rest can be taken back—
If the mount dies in battle, or lasts until the end of the exam, no matter what the result is, you can return, so there is no need to worry too much.
"good."
Because the bull demon talks less, its existence is extremely low, but it does a lot of things, and it can play a big role on its shoulders, so it doesn't talk too much at this moment.
However, it wanted to leave, but Kato, who fused with the relic and turned into a Buddha, did not want to. The golden body glowed with more and more intense Buddha light, making people calm down, as if they had forgotten everything.
The bull demon and the black-maned horse frowned together, and with a flash of monster power, they quickly blocked the Buddha's light from the faintly audible Sanskrit sound.
Those soldiers not far away, even Japanese warriors, were immediately transformed by this thing, and their faces showed a strange look of enlightenment, and they put down the butcher knives in their hands.
"Leave quickly!"
Lu Li's tone was serious.
One horse and one bull didn't hesitate any longer, and left here immediately, and made themselves firmly believe that the master could win the final victory.
In fact, looking at his own samurai who had been converted in the distance, Kato felt displeased. He couldn't completely control the relics, and even disturbed his own people indiscriminately.
After putting down the butcher knife, what use would the family need them for?
On the opposite side, Lu Li didn't say anything cruel. Zhu Yan let out a stern roar, and cast the supernatural power of the sky and earth for the second time, turning into a terrifying ape-shaped creature, and the six gods burst out with brilliant light.
This is not the first time they have fought each other. The two are very familiar with each other's methods and cards. The six gods are pushing with great force. The crisis is terrifying, but it is not fatal.
At this level of battle, it is to compete with three swords to see whose cards are strong enough.
On Lu Li's side are Emperor Ziwei Sword and Red Lotus Yehuo.
Kato Kiyomasa is three thousand Buddha relics.
After changing into a turtle shell, Lu Li wanted to smash it into pieces and burn it with karmic fire, which was obviously a difficult task.
But it's worth trying!
After a short fight for two moves, the two most powerful generals from their respective factions made a real fire, reckless about the consequences, and the movements became more and more exaggerated.
Yang Gao, who was supervising the battle outside the city, was anxious and wished he could kill Kato immediately.
However, due to lack of strength, even with the protection of Ming Dynasty's luck, it is still difficult to intervene in a battle of this level.
boom!
The light of the Six Divine Soldier overwhelmed the sunlight, and at the same time concealed the ultimate move.
I saw nothing unusual, except for its own lines, only an emperor sword decorated with a red lotus flew out, straightly piercing the golden body of the Buddha between the eyebrows.
A relic shattered.
Kato Xindao said sure enough, and tried to repair and stabilize the center of the eyebrows with other real Buddha relics, because the number of three thousand is very special, even if one is missing, the power will be greatly reduced.
And the three thousand relics are originally one. Under the sword's edge, the relics that were about to break began to stop the collapse, and they seemed to be broken but not broken, but they could still play a role.
Lu Li was not discouraged even if he failed with one blow. He was still connected with Emperor Jian's mind and spirit, and controlled him to launch an attack, obviously to use time to completely obliterate him.
During this process, Kato Kiyomasa was not helpless. The golden body was already exaggerated in size, and with the phantom that came from it, it even overwhelmed Lu Li, and the palm of his hand was shot out from time to time.
To be honest, Lu Li was really worried that the Buddha would turn his five fingers into five linked mountains of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to suppress the giant ape-like Zhu Yanshen.
But the fact is not so bad, Kato is not proficient in using this golden body, it can even be described as superficial.
This is something to be thankful for!
Because Lu Li was hit by this kind of palm that seemed to fall from the void, it was no longer as simple as being hit by a mountain, but an entire continent came from above, and there were countless Buddha lights shining on it.
In the eyes of onlookers, every texture in this palm that fell from the sky is like a hill, and when they are linked together, they form mountains.
Every time the golden palm slapped Lu Li's body, there would be a terrifying wave and a strong wind.
It is difficult for generals to understand this kind of power, and the Taoists who follow the army are secretly smacking their tongues. They are not ignorant of the art of transformation, but they can transform themselves into the strange beasts recorded in "Shan Hai Jing" to this extent, which is really beyond comprehension.
Under the impact of the wave of destruction again and again, Daoshan City began to shake violently. Even if the priest strengthened the leylines in advance, it was still difficult to sustain.
With a "bang" sound, Zhu Yanshen's feet were directly shot into the rock formation, and the mountains shook for hundreds of miles. In the previous battle, the ground, which was already covered with gravel, still couldn't hold on. Thoroughly powdered, like fine yellow sand.
The river water not far away poured directly along the underground passage, and the Daoshan City began to be swallowed by the icy cold undercurrent, and the waves surged like a vast ocean, crashing in all directions.
Under such a hasty change, a large number of soldiers who were fighting, or who had ulterior motives, were ruthlessly swallowed up, and it was up to fate whether they lived or died.
Seeing this situation, the generals who participated in the siege resisted with all their strength, pushing their combat power to the extreme, struggling to support their standing and shelter their soldiers.
The coalition forces are still desperately attacking the city.
Naturally, the Japanese will not kill immediately.
Under the strong stimulation, the battle became even more intense. The movement may not be as grand as before, but the eyes and killing intent are unprecedentedly strong.
Daoshan Castle, Kato, and Nabeshima were the main targets that the Japanese army took a lot of trouble to come to rescue.
Once won, morale will definitely be boosted.
pity……
Looking left and right, seeing that Lu Li failed to create a miracle, Yang Gao made a so-called decision.
He took the lead and fled towards Gyeongju. Behind him, the group of Li Chao generals were either helpless or Congxin, followed closely behind, and then the personal troops.
The troops on the island hill were abandoned.
The same is true for the ministries that stick to other areas.
Where did his determination to ride into Seoul alone go?
What about reprimanding Joseon King Lee Chan for his domineering?
Fortunately, Li Rumei didn't get dizzy and led his subordinates to continue to attack the city. He even directly confronted Naoshima Naomi.
Ma Gui, who didn't have much sense of presence, also stood up, first stabilized the Northwest Army under his command, and then discussed with the generals of the Southern Army——
You can retreat, but you can't retreat.
In addition, everything must wait until the dust settles on Daoshan City, and retreat while fighting, to maintain the dignity of the Great Tomorrow Army, and never allow the destruction of the established system, let alone being chased by the Japanese to fuel their arrogance.
And those troops of the Li Dynasty who assisted in the defense were suppressed bloody by the generals of the Ming Dynasty as soon as they thought carefully.
Of course, this is the big picture.
Yang Gao, the backbone, took away nearly 3,000 elites in a self-serving act of running for his life.
Among them, there are the Liaodong Army, a small Northwest Army, and some soldiers from the Guard Battalion.
The reason for this is partly because he once sent Chen Yuwen and Yang Wanjin from the guard battalion to Daoshan to help out, and they suffered heavy casualties in the end.
It was Yang Gao who fought against Lang.
It was Yang Gao who ordered the death charge to attack the city.
It was Yang Hao who escaped at the critical moment!
One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted!
However, Lu Li didn't care about these things. Under the pressure of the Buddha's palm, his body suddenly fell short, his legs could no longer support him, and with a bang, he half-kneeled on the battlefield filled with river water.
overhead.
The Buddha's golden body is densely packed, like porcelain that is almost broken.
This is the result of hard work. Except for the large number of gaps in the Peach Blossom Sword, all the rest of the Six Gods are broken, even the Iron Horse Halberd he brought out from the Three Kingdoms World is no exception.
Moreover, it was Lu Li who detonated it on his own initiative, just to speed up the speed at which the relics were wiped out.
Only Emperor Ziwei's sword was still in good condition, showing its sharpness. After being knocked into the air by the Buddha's light, it pierced straight through at an unknown number of times.
Sensing that the danger is approaching, and the breath of death enveloped him, Kato decided to retaliate against him in the same way.
He didn't read any fatal poems, but as soon as a thought appeared, it immediately caused three thousand broken relics with only a little power to explode themselves.
The last person who came to mind was:
The enemy of life, Konishi Yukio.
