Chapter 27: Battle at Datai Temple 2
Chapter 27: Battle at Datai Temple Part
Tai Tai Temple.
The scene was in chaos. The war horses in the front row were frightened and stopped charging, but the heavy cavalry in the back were still on the road. Five hundred cavalrymen fell one after another. Under the high speed, the cavalry and war horses suffered heavy casualties, most of which were caused by their own side.
The green soldiers on both sides were stunned. Jiang He took advantage of the situation to speed up and ran towards the target.
The coldness in Tieduo's eyes was extremely chilling. He didn't need to say anything, as the great shaman beside him had already left and the stone slabs on the spot collapsed.
The two sides charged and collided from the front line.
The great shaman's yellow robe and armor were shattered, revealing a giant black tiger totem on his chest. Unknown pigments flowed, making his body covered with stiff hair. His body grew taller and taller, reaching a height of nearly three meters. His arms were strangely thick and longer than his knees, with sharp nails extending out, and a terrifying tiger roar came out from between the ferocious fangs in his mouth.
Jiang He started to strengthen himself comprehensively. The pure green armor reappeared. He took a step forward, leaped up like a tiger, raised the spear high in both hands, aimed at the enemy's head and chopped it down fiercely. The power of Ming Jin was released, and the close-range spear·Great Sage Pi Gua was used to concentrate all the strength of his body and release it.
The great shaman sneered, and swung his right arm suddenly to meet the attack. The giant tiger totem flowed and wrapped around his palm, and a strong wind howled.
The gun and palm collided, making a buzzing sound like hammering metal, and the gun body rubbed against each other between the five black fingers, producing sparks.
The blow was too heavy. The great shaman's tall body sank an inch. He couldn't help but look up to meet that cold gaze. He didn't like being looked down upon from such a high position.
"Get down here!"
The great shaman grasped the gun with his palm as big as a palm fan, and suddenly pulled it downward, bringing the enemy to the ground.
Jiang He had a blank expression on his face. The moment he landed on the ground, his whole body shook. The power flowed through his hands, feet, elbows, knees, shoulders and hips in turn, and was finally injected into the Changhen Spear. A thousand pounds of force swept through, instantly shaking off the palm that was restraining the spear.
Then Jiang He suddenly turned around, using the tail as a tip, and the long spear sprang out from the holder's back like a flexible silver snake. With a close-range spear·Ape turned, the silver snake's steel teeth whizzed out, and the tip of the spear hit the enemy's chest swiftly and strongly.
"boom!"
The collision of iron and bone produced a loud roar.
The tiger's fur was torn and blood spurted out.
The great shaman was shaken and took several steps back, with bones visible on his chest.
Jiang He was about to fire another shot when six hidden arrows shot at him at the same time. He swung his gun, blocking and destroying them. A few shots fired in the air, and the hidden arrows shattered and fell to the ground.
Not far away, several young soldiers saw this and threw out their spears at the same time. The spear shadows came towards him, and Jiang He dodged sideways, ducking in the gap with ease. The spear grazed the target and shot towards the huge shaman. The shaman was about to attack but was forcibly stopped. At the moment he waved his hand to knock him down, the Changhen Spear took the opportunity to point out. Amid the sharp sound of metal friction, half of his cheek was smashed by the end of the spear.
"Go away!"
The great shaman roared at the green soldiers around him.
In the blink of an eye, the green soldiers retreated together and began to gather around Tieduo.
At some point, the broken arrows began to dissolve, and thick black fog rose up and filled the surroundings. With the hoarse roar of a tiger, the brief peace was broken.
The great shaman flew up and attacked, his iron arms were as sharp as knives, his palms opened left and right, his powerful force created a strong wind, and every claw strike could break monuments and split rocks. If Tieduo was the most powerful among all the kings, then he was the strongest individual in the Qing army. A qualified shaman must have the power to protect the tribe from mountain spirits and monsters.
Jiang He flipped his wrist and started a frenetic rhythm to mark the enemy. The tip of the spear kept pointing out. Due to the terrifying weight of the Changhen Spear itself, any shot could penetrate a boulder.
The gun and the palm kept hitting each other, like a series of overlapping muffled thunders.
At a certain moment, the Great Shaman ignored the blown-off shoulder blade, and lunged forward brazenly, but caught nothing under the cold command of the Five Elements, which was as sharp as a blade.
The residual image on the spot dissipated, and Jiang He increased the speed of Garuda Mode 3 to 50%. The high-intensity pumping of the heart made the blood vessels precarious, and large amounts of blood oozed out. The tip of the gun drew a straight mark on the ground, and then was pulled up by the violent force. The close-range gun, Sky Bird, spread its wings, and the silver-white gun body cut out a dazzling moon in the air, and the wind was whistling.
The great shaman raised his arms to block, and the crisp sound of iron and bone colliding and breaking was heard in the black fog.
But in the next second, the black mist suddenly gathered and madly injected into the Great Shaman's body. His blood seemed to be ignited, so that the gurgling sound of boiling hot soup was heard, and new bones, flesh, and hair grew again.
The great shaman who had returned to his prime had a ferocious look in his eyes and let out a roar like a giant tiger from between his sharp teeth. Each section of the nine-section drum whip symbolized the essence of a tribal shaman's great vertebra, which was now completely destroyed. His eyes were almost filled with rage.
The next moment, the iron arm fell like an axe in the air.
Jiang He took a step back, turned around and fired his gun. The piercing blow was so fast that it was impossible to reach with lightning. He followed the gun and together they pushed the enemy back a hundred steps away.
The iron claw fell on the shoulder, shattering the bones under two layers of defense, but the great shaman was also stabbed in the chest.
The power of Ming Jin, Garuda Mode II: Comprehensive Enhancement, Close Combat Spear: Ape Turn, the weight of the Changhen Spear itself, the additional damage of basic spear techniques, and the twenty layers of the fanatic mark, all became one at this moment, the iron light surged, and the power was released.
The tip of the gun was hurtling like a comet, and the sound of thin paper being torn was heard at the same time. A horrifying hole with a diameter of half a meter appeared on the Great Shaman's chest. He stood stiffly in place, with injuries spreading all over his body.
Jiang He fired five shots in succession, using all his strength. The gun shadows intersected, penetrated, cut off, and destroyed, completely tearing the enemy's body apart, his limbs flying off, and his head half shattered.
Before his death, the great shaman remained silent, with only an extremely strong and pure hatred flowing in his eyes.
"Go to hell!"
After being ravaged and destroyed, the huge figure solidified inch by inch and then turned into fine dust. Among the dead body, the vengeful spirit of a giant black tiger suddenly pounced on the enemy.
Jiang He took a step to dodge, but the curse left by the hidden arrow on his shoulder erupted, and an irresistible dizziness emerged. At the critical moment of life and death, he still fired a shot, and the force collapsed and swept in front of him. The black tiger ghost dimmed a little and crashed straight into the enemy.
"howl!"
Jiang He suddenly heard a deafening tiger roar, deep and strong, and the black tiger's resentful spirit quickly dissipated, but he clearly felt that it was extremely difficult for him to move. In nature, the roar of tiger beasts is an ultra-low sound wave, which can vibrate the muscles of prey, causing paralysis, and has extremely strong penetrating power, like an electric shock.
In the night of the Datai Temple, thousands of elite soldiers from the royal guards camp surrounded someone. The death of the great shaman finally made this fierce army feel a little frightened, and for a moment, no one dared to step forward to test.
Seeing this, Jiang He raised the Changhen Spear and staggered forward to attack.
The fierce battle broke out again.
At the foot of the Eight Treasures Pagoda a mile away, Tie Duo's face was as gloomy as water, and he gave cold orders to his subordinates.
"Kill him, and whoever cuts off his head shall be made a baron."
The leader of the guards hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the great shaman has died in battle, and the enemy is relying on their strength to be ferocious. I dare to ask Your Majesty to take shelter for a while."
"Shut up!"
Tie Duo kicked him down. Tens of thousands of rebel troops were attacking the city. He had left the dispatch center, and the various troops that had plundered the city were leaderless. The situation that was originally a sure win was likely to collapse. What's more, he was forced to flee in an embarrassment by a mere one person. His prestige in the army would be completely lost. Rather than losing his political life, he might as well just die.
"Push forward all of you, and mobilize another 800 cavalry. I swear to fight to the death with you!"
The leader of the personal guards was impressed by him. It was this kind of bravery that made the prince stand out among the sons of the previous emperor, winning every battle and establishing unprecedented military achievements.
In the battle, the young soldiers who found that the prince had not left rekindled their courage and surrounded and killed the enemy in an almost crazy manner.
Jiang He was stabbed more and more times, but his eyes were surprisingly calm.
"Instead of running away, you're standing there."
Jiang He raised his gun and crushed a young soldier to death. He still had over a hundred energy points. If the other party didn't run away, he could use the remaining energy from the pursuit to defend himself.
"Two hundred steps, it's over."
His arms were raised, palms facing forward.
One hundred boxes of gunpowder obtained from the gunpowder depot were released at this moment. The extremely expanding gas turned into a shock wave, covering the densely packed elite soldiers in front of them. A strong torrent of thermal radiation swept in all directions, and a thunder-like rumble exploded from the earth.
The armor melted and the flesh and bones turned to ashes.
The Eight Treasures Pagoda that had stood for hundreds of years collapsed with a loud bang, and destruction covered the Datai Temple. The walls collapsed, shattered, and even turned into powder, and Shou Lake burst into huge waves with a loud roar.
Amid the turbulent current, Jiang He clearly felt that he had lost his balance and was flying sideways in mid-air. He was at the center of the gunpowder impact, although not in the direct direction, but generally speaking, the aftermath could still completely annihilate the body.
Twenty yellow paper tower talismans were activated one after another and quickly turned into ashes. The shadows of towers rose up and then shattered in an instant. The talismans were consumed. The pure green armor that rose all over the body quickly dimmed. The impact and extreme heat acted on the borrowed armor, leaving scars all over it, and finally it completely collapsed.
Jiang He fell heavily on the bank of Shou Lake, vomiting blood continuously, but there was a smile on his face. The talisman of Cangshan Fuxue, his own pure green armor and scale armor, and Chu Fuqiang's rare rhinoceros armor enabled him to survive.
Looking up, I saw that the Datai Temple was completely destroyed, with only a few survivors, and pieces of charred flesh and blood were everywhere.
[Hint: Main quest: Hunting down Tieduo (1/1), Hunting down Qingbing (1702/200) has been completed]
[Players can return at any time, the maximum stay time: three days]
[Task rewards will be issued after returning]
……
A few hours later, dawn rose.
The rebels entered the city of Yangzhou.
Because Tieduo was killed in the battle, the Qing army was forced to withdraw. The White Flag Commander took over the command and led more than 10,000 Qing troops to move northward. The rebels did not pursue them.
North of Yangzhou City, Yaogong Mansion.
Li Tongyan held a celebration banquet and all the generals drank heartily.
In the study, Chu Fuqiang, who had been allowed to enter, had a frosty face and said angrily: "General Li, you allow the soldiers to continue looting. What is the difference between you and those young soldiers? People are still dying and the fire is still burning. You are not a bandit!"
Li Tongyan drank his tea slowly and said calmly, "Master Chu, prohibiting the massacre in the city is my biggest concession. After all, the man sitting behind you really succeeded in killing Tie Duo. But do you know that as long as the martial law and search order is issued, my head and body will be separated tomorrow? Do you really think that the soldiers who have been hungry for six or seven days are saints? Even he will not threaten me with this, because it is meaningless."
Chu Fuqiang turned around and saw someone sitting on a chair behind him, treating his wound alone.
"Brother Mo Ke!"
Jiang He raised his head and said calmly, "I can't do anything about this. It's important for people to know themselves. I have no experience in leading and managing troops, including killing Tie Duo. In fact, I just wanted to complete the mission. And no matter how strong or weak, I take resistance for granted, so I never show much mercy. Besides, your badge is still with me."
Chu Fuqiang took the chapter of the stalker with a complicated expression, sighed, and walked out of the study.
Li Tongyan said, "Now the left army is approaching the secondary capital. I have tens of thousands of vital troops in my hands and I am eyeing the south. The imperial court will not refuse the reward proposed by Yangzhou. What do you want?"
Jiang He hesitated for a moment and said, "Give him a title."
He was going to try and see if he could get a title by doing this.
Li Tongyan nodded and said, "It's a sure thing."
