At noon, A Shu led his army to the foot of Gushan Mountain.

Gushan is a thousand meters above sea level, surrounded by green water, and the scenery is picturesque. There is an ancient temple on the mountain called Yongquan. It was first built in the Tang Dynasty and is also a Buddhist holy place today.

A Yuan army scout climbed the mountain.

Ancient temple on the mountain.

In the past, incense was so popular, but in the past two days, pilgrims rarely went up the mountain. When the Yuan army arrived, most of them had already taken refuge.

But there were many soldiers of the Song Dynasty in the temple at this time.

In addition to the Third Regiment of the Fuzhou Garrison Army who retreated from Yanxiang Village to this place, the Seventh Regiment is also here.

In addition, there are many Fuzhou soldiers hidden in the deep mountains outside the wall.

They want to resist the Yuan army here.

Because if we don’t block here, when the Yuan army approaches Fuzhou, Fuzhou will be in danger. There are not many sky-rushing cannons in Fuzhou City that deal with hot air balloons.

The leader of the third regiment, Gao Tianzong and others, will preside over the discussion of Mr. Huizhi in the guest room and in the sword.

As he was speaking, a soldier outside the gate came to report: "Captain, the Yuan army has arrived at the foot of the mountain."

Gao Tianzong looked at the old monk Huizhi and said, "Master, then we will say goodbye first."

They have been disturbing each other in the temple these two days. At present, they obviously do not want to involve Yongquan Temple.

"Amitabha."

The old monk Huizhi clasped his hands together, "What should I do after the general leads his army out of the temple?"

Gao Tianzong said: "I have led my army to rush down the mountain to fight with the Yuan army."

"Then what?"

The old monk Huizhi asked again.

Gao Tianzong sighed softly, "Try to deal with them. In short, you can't let them get close to Changle County like this."

The generals in the army knew very well that in order to lift the siege of Fuzhou, Wen Tianxiang, who was stationed in Jianning, could only lead his army to arrive.

But at this moment, tens of thousands of Yuan army were eyeing each other in the north of Jianning Prefecture. They had to wait for Wen Tianxiang to lead the army over. I really didn't know when it would be.

Fuzhou has little vitality.

But those who are generals always need to do their best. As for success or failure, they will leave their fate.

"Amitabha!"

The old monk Huizhi pronounced the Buddha's name again and said to the little shaman next to him: "Go and gather all the monks in the temple!"

The little shaman responded and walked out of the house.

Gao Tianzong and others were slightly moved, and Gao Tianzong said, "Master, are you?"

The old monk Huizhi said, "The old monk is willing to let all the monks in the temple go to war with the general. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. How can we, the Buddhists, always stay out of the matter?"

Gao Tianzong was a little confused and said, "Master, I am rude. Why didn't I be a Buddhist in the past..."

The old monk Huizhi smiled, "Because the emperor can make the people of this world live and work in peace and contentment..."

Gao Tianzong bowed and bowed deeply, "Gao admires the master Gao Yi. It is not a pity to fight with the Yuan army. It is better not to be stained with blood in a pure Buddhist place."

The old monk Huizhi said, "If the general is defeated, will the general think that our Buddhist sect still have a quiet place?"

Gao Tianzong was silent and didn't know how to answer.

The old monk Huizhi said again: "Although our Yongquan Temple is not as many experts as Xinchan Temple, there are still some experts. Please don't refuse, please!"

As he said that, his eyes fell on the other generals beside Gao Tianzong again.

Gao Tianzong said in a state of emotion: "Then...thank you, Master."

The old monk Huizhi nodded gently, "The old monk is waiting for good news from all the generals in the temple."

Gao Tianzong focused on the key points and walked out of the guest room with everyone. As soon as he left the room, he asked the scouts to report the groups hiding in the mountains to attack and kill them down the mountain.

Before they could leave the courtyard, many monks from Yongquan Temple rushed over. They were all wearing leggings, and they were all monks in the temple.

The old monk Huizhi walked out of the guest room and bowed to the Buddha's rituals and said, "Dear disciples, follow the generals down the mountain!"

"yes."

The monks all returned the favor and agreed.

At this moment, these monks did not have any fear expressions on their faces. Perhaps, the Buddhists have to be much more indifferent to life and death.

In the past two years, they have seen the changes in Fujian. It can be seen from the changes of pilgrims.

Since the new emperor was in charge of Changsha, the world is indeed different from before. Such an emperor is worthy of the support of their Buddhists.

Gao Tianzong said: "All the personal guards, take off their armor and give it to all the masters!"

His personal guards immediately untied their armor.

The head of the monk was a monk about fifty years old. He was very burly and shiny. Seeing this, he said, "Thank you, General, there is no need."

His eyes swept over the personal guards of Gao Tianzong and others in the courtyard and said, "If there are no armor, how can the soldiers fight?"

Gao Tianzong smiled and said, "They all have the Dragon Gun, so it's okay if they don't have this armor."

Of course this is just a polite word.

On the battlefield, having armor and not having armor are two different things. With armor, the chance of survival is much higher.

But after the guards took off their armor, they still handed it over to the monks.

The head monk had to bow and said, "So, thank you, General."

Gao Tianzong asked his personal guards to help about 200 monks wear armor, and then he took his people out of the yard and headed straight out of Yongquan Temple. There were about 2,000 people in total.

Che Hongyu, the commander of the 7th Regiment of the Fuzhou Garrison Army, was a lieutenant general of the Yuantoutuo Army. He walked beside Gao Tianzong and suddenly said, "Captain Gao, let's compete again this time?"

Gao Tianzong said: "What are you comparing?"

Che Hongyu smiled and said, "Who will retreat one after another."

"good!"

Gao Tianzong smiled and nodded, "Just wait to treat me to wine."

Che Hongyu just laughed, "Don't speak too slowly. Your third regiment is an elite in the army, but my seventh regiment is not bad. Maybe, you can directly defeat those Yuan troops!"

Gao Tianzong reached out and took Che Hongyu's shoulder, "If you can defeat tens of thousands of troops at the foot of the mountain, I will give you all the wine you have in your life."

"really?"

"really!"

"Okay! Haha!"

...

More than 2,000 people walked out of the temple and went down the mountain. In front were soldiers of Fuzhou garrison troops, and behind were about 200 monks of Yongquan Temple.

This is the first time that Buddhism has joined the war since the beginning of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

Not to mention whether the old monk Huizhi really thinks that Zhao Dongting will be a savior emperor or is under pressure from Taoism. The spirit of these monks is undoubtedly worthy of praise.

In this Gushan, there are also the fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth regiments of the Changde Prefecture Garrison, which are also attacking the mountain one after another.

Along the way, the Yuan army scout Cha Cha encountered a large army, and someone was shot down by a cold arrow.

But someone still hurried down the mountain.

They rushed to the foot of the mountain in front of the army and reported this to A Shu.

A Shu made an unexpected move.

He actually asked his soldiers to lead the soldiers to burn the mountains.

Thousands of soldiers of the Yuan army galloped around Gushan.

In just a short time, a fire broke out at the foot of the mountain. On such a hot summer day, the fire rushes up at an extremely fast speed as soon as it ignites.

Thick smoke rose into the air.

The fire spreads up the mountain.

The fire seemed to have the momentum to turn Gushan into Flaming Mountain.

Even though Shi Kangsheng and others were fighting with the Yuan army at Jiumao Pass before, there was still flames burning, but the scene was really a slight witch compared to this one.

The rolling smoke is endless.

Gao Tianzong and others who were rushing down the mountain soon saw the fire spreading up the mountain and the rolling smoke.

At this moment, their faces also changed suddenly.

No one thought that A Shu would come up with such a way. Indeed, after the Shenlong Gun and other objects, the Song army rarely considered taking advantage of the right time and place.

"withdraw!"

"Retreat quickly!"
