971. The monks leave
"kill!"
Gao Tianzong also saw this scene, his eyes were red, but he could only lead the soldiers to rush forward.
Looking around, war horses are everywhere.
He didn't know how many people there were in the regiments now, but even if there was only one soldier left, he could only rush forward.
At the foot of Gushan.
A Shu also noticed the sudden burst of explosions from the army.
When a scout came to report to him, he pointed to the place where the explosion had been before and asked, "What happened to the cannon fire just now?"
The scout came from there, and when he heard this, he quickly replied: "Back to the marshal, dozens of Song army grenade launchers had committed suicide."
"Lare committed suicide?"
A Shu was slightly stunned, then became a little lost, waved his hand and sighed, "Well, you go down!"
The scout looked at A Shu with some suspicion and then ran away. He didn't understand why the marshal's mood suddenly changed.
Little did he know that A Shu was thinking about the time when he followed Mengge to fight in the east and west.
At that time, he followed Mengge to conquer the southwestern Yi, pacified Dali, and swept across the grassland tribes, as if the warriors on the grassland were as fierce as these Song troops.
I don’t know when the warriors on the grassland gradually changed.
They are no longer so brave, and many people are gradually addicted to power and wine.
Even though he, A Shu himself, has become more and more perfect in the imperial city over the years, and has gradually become less capable of being the marshal who was the first to lead the way. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten how to set an example for the soldiers.
Is this just because I am old?
No!
It's because I no longer have the original belief in my heart.
After the destruction of the Jin Dynasty, the territory of the Yuan Dynasty spanned endless distances. Although Emperor Kublai Khan was still ambitious, the people below were not so keen on expanding their territory.
As he thought about it, A Shu suddenly murmured, "How great it would be if he could go back to the past......"
At this moment, the notorious general of the Yuan Dynasty finally showed an old look on his face.
Tens of minutes passed.
Gao Tianzong and others protected the monks and finally rushed out with the Yuan army cavalry.
The vast land appeared in the rain in front of it, but it was not the war horses and armor that made people feel a little desperate.
"Go away!"
"withdraw!"
As soon as they rushed over the Iron Cavalry, Gao Tianzong and others shouted quickly.
The original six-sided star was only four left at this time, and they headed west in unison.
The soldiers guarded the monks of Yongquan Temple and ran hurriedly.
Nearly 6,000 soldiers have been charged to the present, only more than 2,000 people are left.
This is still the help of the monks in Yongquan Temple. Otherwise, the Fuzhou garrison might not be able to rush out of these Yuan army cavalry.
However, although he rushed out at this moment, he was far from being out of danger.
The Yuan army's cavalry had already turned to the dock and was always stuck behind.
Gunshots and screams mixed.
Even if there were Shenlong Gunners in the Fuzhou garrison army, soldiers were always falling.
It has to be said that A Shu set fire to the mountain was indeed a clever plan. He disrupted the original deployment of Gao Tianzong, Che Hongyu and others.
The Fuzhou garrison troops could only fight and retreat.
Another mile of travel.
Finally, there was a mountain ahead.
The big flag in Che Hongyu's army was at the forefront, and he didn't care much about it and hurriedly ran towards the mountains.
Only mountains and rivers can stop the cavalry of the Yuan army. Otherwise, sooner or later, they would have to be swallowed up and destroyed by these Yuan army.
Gao Tianzong and others saw Che Hongyu walking towards the mountains, and understood his meaning, and immediately led the soldiers to run to the mountains.
When I got to the mountain, I hurried up the mountain again.
Only at this time did they inevitably have fewer and fewer soldiers under their command.
The six legions that were originally ordered to resist A Shu, totaling more than 6,000 soldiers, but at this moment, there are only about 1,55 left.
Many of the monks in Yongquan Temple died in the chaotic battle just now, with less than half remaining.
All the monks were covered in blood.
There are also many injured in the army.
This battle was really tragic. Except for the Song army resisting the Li army of Yue, there were few such tragic times.
Fortunately, the Yuan army cavalry finally had no choice but to pull the horse at the foot of the mountain. Their infantry had not yet been able to catch up, so Gao Tianzong and others finally escaped temporarily.
After reaching the mountainside, Gao Tianzong and others turned around and continued to go west.
After running through two more hills, the shouts of killing from the Yuan army behind him were finally inaudible.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Fuzhou garrison army were usually hard to train, and the monks in Yongquan Temple also exercised a lot, otherwise, just running so far would be enough to exhaust them.
But by this time, everyone was approaching their physical strength limit.
Seeing that the Yuan army was thrown away a little distance, Gao Tianzong asked the soldiers to rest on the spot. Then, he and Che Hongyu and others walked towards the old monk Huizhi.
The original six regiment commanders have been killed until now, and two of them have been killed.
Several people walked up to the old monk Huizhi and sighed in their hearts as they looked at the monks with red eyes.
Everyone felt uncomfortable when this battle ended like this. The soldiers under their command died far more than the monks in Yongquan Temple.
Just because they are generals, no matter how sad they feel, they cannot show their weak side in front of the soldiers.
Gao Tianzong looked at the slightly pale old monk Huizhi and said, "Master, you will take the monks to Changle County later!"
The old monk Huizhi was slightly moved, "General, don't you go?"
Gao Tianzong said: "We received the military order to resist these Yuan troops for five days, but it has only been two days since now. We still have to continue to deal with them."
"But……"
The old monk Huizhi said: "There are only these soldiers left in the army. How can you continue to deal with these Yuan troops?"
Gao Tianzong said: "We have our own way to do this, Master, please feel free to worry."
But he was telling himself in his heart that even if he couldn't do it, he had to do it.
They hinder A Shu's army for one minute, and Changle County may be defeated for one minute later, and the chances of being able to persist until the Yuan army arrives will be greater.
Che Hongyu also said from the side: "Yes, master, you don't have to worry about us."
When the old monk Huizhi heard them say this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Then everyone... take care of yourself..."
He also understood that staying here with these monks who did not understand martial arts was just a burden to the army.
He stood up and called the presiding officer of the Luohan Hall over.
At this moment, the armor of the Arhat Hall in Zhenwu Realm was covered with blood. If it weren't for the scars on his head, no one would have thought that he would be a monk.
"Senior Brother."
When he approached, the Luohan Hall presided over the salute to the old monk Huizhi.
The old monk Huizhi clasped his hands together and said, "Junior brother, you will lead the monks of the Arhat Hall to stay here and continue to resist the Yuan army with the generals!"
"yes."
The presiding officer of the Luohan Hall did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
This made Gao Tianzong and others feel a little embarrassed.
Gao Tianzong said: "Master, there is no need for this. We are soldiers, and it is our duty to serve the country. Let the monks escort you to Changle County!"
The old monk Huizhi said, "Although we are monks, we are also from the Song Dynasty. General Gao should not refuse."
The presidency of the Arhat Hall clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the Yuan army slaughtered sentient beings is a demon, and eliminating demons and defending the way is also the responsibility of our Buddhist disciples."
The Arhat Hall host not only has amazing martial arts cultivation, but also has obvious excellent Buddhist practices. At this time, there is no sorrow or joy in his eyes. "I don't know how much life I have spent to protect my disciples of Yongquan Temple. Generals also let us Buddhist disciples do some effort..."
Gao Tianzong and others were silent.
In the end, the monks in the Luohan Hall of Yongquan Temple remained behind.
After about ten minutes, the old monk Huizhi took the rest of the monks and continued to travel westward.
After Gao Tianzong and others were in charge of the army, they did not go west, but went south of the mountain.
Going south, it is because the official road is on the south side of the mountain.
They were worried that the Yuan army would continue to go to Changle County regardless of their few people. In this way, even the old monk Huizhi and others might encounter danger.
The rain is still falling.
The monks and soldiers in the army were mixed, all of them were wet, but their steps were extremely firm.
As they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, everyone really saw the Yuan army heading west. At this time, the Yuan army's rear troops had already walked over the side of the mountain, and they could only see their backs.
