Chapter 208 The second stage of the war

Chapter 208 The First Phase of the War
On a vast training ground of the Forward Base Fortress, six thousand disciples from the four major sects, who had undergone more than half a year of military training, lined up in neat rows.

Although the Taoist robes and armors worn by the six thousand disciples were not uniform, they all wore armor with a large gold-written word "Chan" printed on it.

Directly in front of the queue was a high platform with the leaders of the five major sects standing on the platform. Xue Bao, the commander-in-chief, stood closest to the front.

"Everyone, it takes a thousand days to train an army, but only a moment to use it. After this period of training, you can't wait to take revenge on the Dingguang thieves who killed our sisters, relatives and friends, right?"

Xue Bao's voice was like a loud bell, and his majestic and powerful voice echoed throughout the training ground.

"I will not elaborate on the significance of this battle. I believe you have already realized it from the tearful accusations of the sisters who were abducted from your own sect."

"The army of the underdog will win. We are the army of revenge, but also the army of justice. The Dingguang gang has not only harmed the female disciples of our four major sects, they are the public enemy of women. If we leave them alone, my daughters and granddaughters will also become victims in the future."

……

"I only want to emphasize one point. Marching and fighting is not a martial arts fight. Military orders are as heavy as a mountain and military law is ruthless. The reason why we have gone through such a long period of reorganization and training is not to improve your cultivation and strength, but to let you understand the simplest principle of being a soldier, which is to obey orders!"

"If you want revenge, then obey orders. Otherwise, no matter what the reason, anyone who disobeys military orders will be executed without mercy!"

"Now, I give the order. Follow the established battle plan and attack with all your forces!"

Wen Rui stood at the outermost position on the left, restraining his edge and being as low-key as possible. After listening to the mobilization speech of the coalition commander Xue Bao, he couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart.

This man is an expert in military affairs. If he were to command the coalition forces of the five sects, the chances of victory would increase by at least ten percentage points.

It’s a pity that such a talent can only be a heavenly soldier when he ascends to heaven in the future.

Of course, it is also possible to use the relationship with the ancestor of the Xue family to become a blessing official under Zhao Gongming.

After the commander-in-chief gave the order, the immortal cultivator soldiers used their flying skills one after another and boarded the armed transport ship suspended in the air under the command of their respective captains and battalion commanders.

In this war, because of Wen Rui's joining, the combat command system and logistics transportation system were far more advanced than the times.

Under Wen Rui's advice, the war was divided into three phases. The first phase was to occupy the outer area, the second phase was to capture the core area, and the last phase was to surround the Dingguang Immortal Sect's old nest, Fanjing Mountain, and order all the Dingguang disciples, except for the Great Joy Bodhisattva, to walk out of the mountain gate and surrender.

The combat goal of occupying the outer areas is the easiest to achieve. Due to the continuous harassment and guerrilla warfare of the Rabbit Suppression Alliance over the past five years, there are not many Dingguang disciples stationed in the outer areas.

The battle to capture the core area is very difficult and is the key to the outcome of the entire war.

There are many cities in the core area, where the female monks from the Chan sect, the Ren sect or the independent nuns who were kidnapped by the Dingguang Immortal Sect are imprisoned.

This requires multiple surprise siege operations.

Most of the tens of thousands of Dingguang Xianzong disciples who were gathering their strength were gathered in this area. An elder with high status would definitely organize a large army to have a head-on collision with the coalition forces of the five sects.

In the last stage, according to Wen Rui's analysis, the coalition forces of the five sects had already collected enough evidence in the process of rescuing the female monks in the core area, and had established that Dingguang's disciples had committed a crime.

At that time, the Bodhisattva of Joy can only sacrifice the car to save the driver, or even take the initiative to clean up the sect and hand over the disciple who has committed serious sins.

Wen Rui's prediction is actually nonsense, and common sense would lead to it being so.

but……

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian is a capricious and self-righteous despicable villain. He cannot be judged by common sense. God knows what weird things he will do. At this stage, Wen Rui must stay far away, let the four great immortal sect leaders speak in front, and he hides in the back and is ready to run away at any time.

The armed transport ship carried all the soldiers from the four major immortal sects, started the curvature engine, and leaped towards the established combat target.

With Wen Rui's support delivery capability, almost in an instant, multiple outposts in the outer area of ​​Dingguang Xianzong in Xiniu Hezhou were simultaneously attacked by airborne surprise attacks.

The Dingguang disciples still guarding these outposts were either of low realm or were being ostracized, and had no power to fight back.

Many teams of the Dingguang Immortal Sect stationed at outposts surrendered and became prisoners without even taking out their weapons. They were taken on transport ships and sent to the new energy center, where they were put into cans and continued to act tyrannically in their dreams.

Within one day, the outer area of ​​Dingguang Immortal Sect was completely lost, and all disciples of Dingguang Immortal Sect were eliminated.

But the battle in the outer areas is not over yet.

After the airborne assault teams of the Five Sects Allied Forces completed the goal of eliminating the outposts, they gathered again near the border of the core area to prepare for the start of the second phase of operations.

The local indigenous volunteers became active, carrying fire swords and launching attacks on the tribal leaders. They dragged out those nobles and leaders who relied on the support of Dingguang disciples to bully the people from their blockhouses and hanged them on the gallows that were originally used to punish serfs.

The Dingguang Immortal Sect was established in various tribes, settlements, villages and towns. The niches used to worship the Bodhisattva of Joy were smashed to pieces, and wooden or stone statues of the Three Pure Ones were placed on the altars of every household.

These statues of the Three Pure Ones were all carved spontaneously by local people.

When the Rabbit-Slaying Alliance, which was determined to change the fate of these suffering beings, came into contact with them, they intentionally or unintentionally revealed that their members were all believers of the Three Pure Ones.

The natives asked curiously, if they believed in the Three Pure Ones, how should they worship them and what kind of tribute they needed to pay.

The team members thought for a moment and replied, "Just let it go. Whatever you want to offer is voluntary. We won't force you. As long as you don't delay the Taoist's ascension, the Taoist will ignore you."

The natives asked again: "How will the Three Pure Ones appoint a leader to manage these foolish believers?"

The team members replied: "Govern by doing nothing, a small country with few people, who enjoy their food, wear beautiful clothes, live in a comfortable house, and enjoy their customs. Neighboring countries can see each other, the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard, but the people will not interact with each other until they die of old age."

There is no harm without comparison. This set of governing philosophy is simply paradise for these suffering beings who live like slaves under the rule of the belief in Joyful Bodhisattva.

The natives were shocked after hearing this, and converted to believing in the Three Pure Ones on the spot. In their minds, the Lord of Heaven was not as good as the Three Pure Ones, so Taoism was the best belief in the world.

As a result, people in the border areas of Xiniu Hezhou spontaneously carved statues of the Three Pure Ones made of various materials and hid them in their homes, waiting for the arrival of a royal army to change the world, and then officially convert to Taoism.

The guerrilla warfare of the Rabbit Suppression Alliance carried out a large-scale missionary work against Xiniu Hezhou, seizing many Western religious traditions.

Wen Rui had actually been secretly paying attention to this matter for a long time, but the members of the Rabbit Slaying Alliance who were the instigators were completely clueless. They didn't realize that they had unknowingly made great contributions to the spread of Taoist beliefs among the three religions.

After this battle, a large Taoist area will appear in Xiniu Hezhou, and the believers' faith will be extremely firm.

Even if the Dingguang Immortal Sect falls and other Western sects want to replace it, nothing will change unless they pay a huge price and give enough benefits to all living beings.

It is true that he went back to seek the scriptures a thousand years in advance.
