Chapter 1103: The Final Battle at Bright Summit
"What's going on? Where did they get the reinforcements?"
"Oops, it's not like we were ambushed, right?"
"The enemy's situation is unknown, retreat!"
"Withdraw! After the Ruijin flag and the giant wooden flag are broken, the five scattered people suppress the masters of the six major sects. The remaining people retreat quickly!"
The army that rushed out rashly made the Five Elements Banners dare not pursue rashly anymore, so they decided to stop as soon as possible and retreat.
They were very disciplined and immediately switched from attack to defense and then to retreat upon giving an order.
Although Master Miejie and others fought hard to kill the enemy, they did not deliberately pursue them. Soon the large force of Five Elements Banner withdrew completely.
The Ruijin Banner and the Giant Wooden Banner behind the palace also began to evacuate in an orderly manner. It was only then that the "big armies" from both sides came over to fight.
Only then did the heroes see clearly, where was the army? Hundreds of Poyang gang members deliberately stirred up a lot of dust with weapons in their hands, lined up in a row, shouted peace, and pretended to be a large crowd.
"Amitabha, it is true that soldiers never tire of deceit!" Kong Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "This donor Xu is really like a god in using soldiers. He used a little trick to defeat the powerful enemy. If it hadn't been for him, we would have suffered greater losses today. "
The other masters nodded in unison, with lingering fears.
The sudden outbreak of the war almost brought the six major sects to their knees, and they died before they even got out of the battle.
Xu Da came just in time!
Everyone's face showed the relief and joy of remaining in the battle, and some were crying bitterly over the death of their fellow disciples.
Only Song Qingshu's face was particularly gloomy.
Not only did he not show his face in this battle, he actually exposed his butt.
Also, Xu Da came to the rescue. Doesn’t this mean that Xu Da is fine at all?
Who has the problem?
Master Miejie glanced around for a week, but Xu Da and Hua Yun were nowhere to be seen. Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw a man step forward. He first defeated Zong Weixia and others from the Kongtong sect, and then bowed to him and said: "Junior Liu Zhenbiao , see Exterminator Too! My general and Vice Admiral Hua went to ambush the enemy. He said that if he let the enemy go like this, he was afraid that the enemy would react soon. Instead, he would kill him for a while and they would run faster. But Be safe for a while.”
Xu Da's performance also made Master Miejie's face glow. She nodded and said: "I don't understand the war. General Xu will make the decision in everything."
This was the first time she called Xu Da General Xu, and she obviously fully recognized this person.
The six major factions began to reduce their losses and clean up the battle. Each faction suffered more than ten or even dozens of injuries. A total of nearly one hundred and fifty people from the six major factions died in this battle. It can be said that the losses were heavy. .
Only then did the heroes deeply feel the cruelty and pain of war, and everyone on the scene cried bitterly. The leaders of each sect were busy collecting the bodies of the disciples who died in the battle and healing the injured.
Liu Zhenbiao took his men and patrolled around spontaneously to prevent the enemy from returning.
Soon, Xu Da and the others returned with their troops and brought back more than twenty prisoners.
Master Miejie and the heads of various factions personally greeted him and expressed their gratitude to Xu Da.
Xu Da acted neither humble nor arrogant, which made everyone look at him with admiration.
"Everyone, after this battle, we should understand that there is a reason to specialize in the arts!" Master Miejie looked around and took the opportunity to say, "We are not good at leading troops in battles. Song Qingshu also betrayed our trust. It is really unbearable... "
These words were a bit harsh, making Song Qing blush and bow her head in shame.
Everyone in Wudang looked unhappy, but they all saw Song Qingshu's performance in the battle just now. Let alone being brilliant, it was not even qualified. At this moment, their faces were burning with shame.
"On the other hand, General Xu turned the tide and saved us, and also captured the demon sect's flag bearer. With such ability, do we still need to hesitate?" Master Miejie asked in a serious tone.
"Amitabha, Shaolin has no objection!" Kong Zhi took the lead in expressing his stance.
"We have no objection either!"
"Agree, agree!"
"General Xu uses his troops like a god, I totally agree!"
All factions responded one after another, and even Song Yuanqiao said "agree" with a solemn expression.
As the saying goes, Xu Da was a subordinate of the Demon Sect before, and was not recognized and trusted by everyone, and it was not good-looking to have him command the six major sects.
But now, Xu Da has become one of his own after passing the test of this war. The six major factions also understand that war is not a child's play, and naturally become pragmatic.
"General Xu, as the saying goes, good talents are put to good use, and those who are capable live there!" A smile appeared in the corners of Miejie Shitai's eyes, and she looked at Xu Da, "If we encounter the enemy again, you can give full command, and we will not disobey you!"
"Not bad, not bad!" The heroes responded one after another.
Xu Da was slightly silent.
In fact, he didn't want to take this hot potato, but now it would be bad if he refused again.
"In this case, Xu will be ashamed of himself!" He said with a solemn face and fisted at everyone, "Don't worry, Xu will do his best."
Master Miejie said: "We also captured some people from the Five Elements Banner, and some who did not escape after being injured, almost a hundred people. General Xu, these people have been handed over to you. I hope you can persuade them to surrender and let them change their ways."
"Master, don't worry, I will try my best." Xu Da nodded.
To him, this is business.
Master Miejie glanced at Song Qingshu and said calmly: "Master Song, is it time for you to give me an explanation for the matter regarding Young Master Ling?"
Song Yuanqiao had already expected that Master Miejie's character would never give up, and he had already prepared a plan to deal with this matter.
"Qingshu, apologize to General Xu!" Song Yuanqiao said seriously, "In front of everyone, think about what happened before. Did you hear it wrong or did you misjudge the person?"
Song Qingshu said with a heavy face: "Now think about it, maybe I heard it wrong at that time..."
"You dare to lie with your eyes open in front of me?" Nun Miejue glared and shouted, "If it weren't for Master Zhang, I would have killed you, a vicious and sinister little beast with a sword today!"
Everyone changed color when these words came out, especially the Wudang heroes.
Mo Shenggu's face changed suddenly and he stood up and said: "Nun Miejue, please be merciful!"
"If I didn't show mercy, this little beast would have been beheaded!" Nun Miejue said disgustedly, "Forget about the apology, I think General Xu doesn't want it! I just hope that Wudang Sect will discipline this little beast strictly and don't let him come out to hurt people again! Also, it's better to stay away from my Emei Sect! Don't harass my Emei disciples again!"
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Song Yuanqiao suddenly stepped forward and slapped Song Qingshu three times, and shouted: "Evil beast, how did your father teach you to be kind to others? Nun Miejue is highly respected, and you have offended her when you just started out. Do you deserve these three slaps or not?"
"Yes! The child deserves to be beaten!" Song Qingshu shouted in a trembling voice, clenched his fists, lowered his head, and looked very humiliated.
With so many people present, and in front of the woman he admired, he was humiliated like this, how could he not resent it?
But Song Yuanqiao's words were actually a light revelation to excuse him. It's just that he was full of resentment at the moment, and he didn't understand his father's painstaking efforts at all.
The other factions didn't know the whole story, so it was difficult to speak, so they all watched coldly.
Fortunately, Nun Miejue didn't mean to continue to pursue the matter. After a cold snort, she asked Xu Dada to talk to the side.
Xu Da officially became the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the six major sects. He was indeed very good at leading troops in battle, and he soon proved himself again.
Before dawn the next day, the Five Elements Flag returned, obviously realizing that they had been fooled last night, and they were unwilling to fight back.
But Xu Da had already ambushed and commanded the six sects to repel the enemy attack again and captured a large number of Five Elements Flag followers.
After this battle, Xu Da completely established his position in the team of the six major sects and gained the trust of the six major sects.
The six major sects soon continued to march towards Guangmingding, and they went through dozens of large and small battles along the way. However, under the command of Xu Da and the full cooperation of the masters of each sect, the six major sects moved very fast and were almost unstoppable.
Along the way, in addition to capturing enemy troops during the war, Xu Da and Hua Yun and others also took the initiative to attack and persuade the grassroots followers of the local branches to surrender.
Xu Da achieved remarkable results according to the rhetoric and principles taught by Su Yi. When he was about to reach the foot of Guangmingding Mountain, Xu Da's team had expanded to more than 1,300 people.
Among them, Chang Yuchun of the Giant Wood Banner was also captured by Xu Da. He was an old acquaintance of Xu Da, and Xu Da had always admired his talents. However, Chang Yuchun would rather die than surrender, and was determined to fight to the death for the Ming Cult.
Just when Xu Da was hesitating about whether to kill Chang Yuchun or not, Chang Yuchun was released.
Not only Chang Yuchun, but also Zhuang Zheng, the flag bearer of the Sharp Gold Banner who had been imprisoned, and more than 30 members of the Five Elements Banner who would rather die than surrender.
Also missing with Chang Yuchun was Zeng Aniu, who had always been low-key and had no sense of existence.
Xu Da was very speechless after learning about this, but he could only give up.
Even Su Nuer was depressed for a while, thinking that the disciple of the young master was really unreliable.
The six major sects attacked with great momentum, and the top leaders of the Ming Cult had another internal conflict.
Yang Xiao, the Five Scattered People, and the Green-winged Bat King Wei Yixiao had a melee, and all of them were injured, but not seriously, until the arrival of the White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng to separate them.
With the war imminent, such a thing happened, which was obviously bad news for the Ming Cult.
However, after this internal conflict, the top leaders of the Ming Cult were completely awakened. They have realized that if they don't unite, the danger of extinction is imminent.
Because the lower levels are fighting each other, people are already panicking, and coupled with Xu Da's speech to persuade them to surrender, the morale of the lower levels of the Ming Cult is now very low, and people defect every day.
Even the Sky Eagle Cult has such signs.
After discussing, Yang Xiao and others finally decided to agree to the original proposal of Master Miejue, and the masters of both sides would end the war in a life-and-death duel at Guangmingding!
Even in this situation, the Sky Eagle Cult refused to join forces with the Five Elements Flag. However, the opponent's traitor Xu Da made full use of such contradictions to defeat them one by one and turned the enemy into their own people.
In Xu Da's propaganda, the six major sects vowed to win this time, and the Mingjiao could not escape this disaster, but everyone's ambition was to resist the Yuan Dynasty, not for the grudges of the upper echelons. Fighting with the six major sects who were also determined to resist the Yuan Dynasty would only make the relatives sad and the enemies happy.
Therefore, the righteous army did not kill the righteous army, and everyone fought a gentleman's battle. If you fight each other, you will be loyal to the Mingjiao, and then you can join my Xu Da's team, and no longer care about the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and fight against the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
Xu Da's statement gave the lower-level believers who were forced to be involved in this war a reason to stop fighting and surrender, so the surrender rate of the lower-level believers of the Mingjiao reached a new high almost every day.
If this continues, the foundation of the Mingjiao will be shaken, and how can Yang Xiao and other high-level leaders sit still?
Therefore, the high-level leaders of the Mingjiao agreed to fight a life-and-death battle with the six major sects at Guangmingding.
In fact, as time went on, it became increasingly difficult for Xu Da's efforts to persuade him to surrender. Because everyone who wanted to surrender basically did so, and the rest were determined to fight to the end for the Mingjiao.
But now that the top leaders have made a decision, the lower-level believers will no longer block the progress of the six major sects.
On the day of the decisive battle, Xu Da led his troops stationed at the foot of the mountain to confront the Five Elements Banners. Only the six major sects came up the mountain. The two sides gathered together in the Mingjiao Guangming Palace. After some back-and-forth, the decisive battle officially began.
This is a life-and-death struggle. There is no need to talk about the rules of the world, and there is no need to arrange troops.
The rules of the competition are that you send one person to the stage, and I send one person to the stage. Both sides fight alone, regardless of life or death, but outsiders are not allowed to interfere.
Those who win can stay on stage and continue to fight, while those who lose cannot go on stage again.
The rules were simple and crude, and neither side had any objections, so the fight was about to break out.
The battle became intense as soon as it started. Several altar and incense masters from the Ming Cult were killed, and disciples and elders from the six major sects were also killed.
Different from the original plot, because there is no participation of Cheng Kun, Yang Xiao and others basically retain their complete strength. The combat effectiveness of both sides is equal, and neither should be underestimated.
It is worth mentioning that Cheng Kun is also here.
His mental state was a bit bad, but he showed no mercy when fighting.
He faced Wen Cangsong, the flag bearer of the giant wooden flag of the Five Elements Flag. After the two fought for a few moves, Cheng Kun shattered his heart with a palm and killed him.
However, he pretended to be beaten to death by mistake. After beating his opponent to death, Cheng Kun looked very shocked and chanted the Buddha's name, shaking his head and sighing.
This was the first high-ranking member of the Ming Cult to die. His death made the already heated battle situation at Guangmingding even more grim.
"Burn my broken body with a blazing holy fire. What joy is there in life, and why is death so painful? To eliminate evil for good, there is only light. Joy and sorrow all return to the dust. Everything is for the people, not for selfish reasons. Have mercy on me, the world, there are so many sorrows. …”
All the heroes of Mingjiao chanted scriptures together to see Wen Cangsong off.
This scene made people from the six major sects quite moved when they saw it, and they felt a tragic feeling.
Soon, the first heavyweight person on the Mingjiao side stood up——
White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng!
"Mingjiao Yin Tianzheng, I will teach you all the great tricks!" The White-browed Eagle King has long eyebrows and a tall figure. He looks around and looks around, showing his majesty.
"I wonder if there is any master among the various sects who would not hesitate to give me some advice?" His deep voice spread throughout the room.
"Wudang Zhang Songxi, ask Senior Eagle King for some tips!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone jumped out from the Wudang side, but it was Zhang Songxi, the Four Heroes of Wudang.
