Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

Chapter 175: Guard the city

Views:

The snowfields are vast, the sky is cloudless, the cold winter sun pours down, the golden light is brilliant, the flags flutter, and the earth trembles faintly.

One after another, floating black lines surged from the sky, as if a continuous mountain edge was slowly moving.

The royal court soldiers stared blankly at the horizon.

The turbulent black lines are getting closer and closer, like surging waves, and those lines are composed of figures with knives and horses. A majestic, unstoppable murderous aura, guarding the snow-white gold-patterned flag in the middle, marched forward mightily.

After entering the battlefield, the speed of the queue suddenly became faster, the loose teams on both sides suddenly shrank to the middle, the hoofs sounded like thunder, and the momentum of the entire team became more severe and fierce, and the formation had changed in the blink of an eye. Immediately, a tall and upright monk in a monk's robe rushed out of battle surrounded by personal guards, facing the northern army, raised a long bow with a dark horn, bent the bow and pulled arrows, and pulled a hard bow into a full moon. , an arrow shot out.

The iron arrow ripped apart the air, and a sharp whistle echoed on the battlefield, with a majestic momentum that shreds everything, and rushed straight to the enemy camp.

With two bangs, the iron arrow pierced through one of the generals in front, with unabated strength, and hit the next general, and the two generals fell off the horse's back almost at the same time.

Without waiting for everyone to react, the monk continued to draw the bow in the flash of lightning, swishing a few times, and the beads shot out as fast as a shooting star. There was a commotion in the enemy army.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the top of the city, and the monk's last arrow directly cut off a handsome flag in the enemy camp.

The power of these few arrows, the weather is severe, the domineering and majestic, and everyone present can't help but sweat and tremble.

The monks rode one by one, holding a bow in one hand, reined their horses and stood on the hillside, took off the face towel, revealing a handsome and handsome face, looking down at the black army of the Northern Army under the hillside, a pair of deep and calm blue eyes as cold as snow , without sadness or joy, with a monstrous momentum and a majestic figure, as if the gods came into the world.

There was a deep silence on the battlefield.

The Northern Rong allied forces were shaken, and on the top of the holy city, after the soldiers were stunned, they cried out in the direction of the monk.

The Regent is back!

Buddha is back!

Their king is back!

It is not a puppet supported by the conspiracy of the noble family and Princess Chima, but a king who has a heart for the common people and faces difficulties in the crisis time and time again, leading them, the soldiers at the bottom, to fight on the battlefield!

What if the king's biological mother was a Han Chinese

He is still a monarch loved by the people and supported by the tribe! A benevolent and noble Buddha!

The generals burst into tears and their blood boiled.

The Beirong Allied Forces panicked for a moment, and several tribal chiefs roared at Haidu Aling: "Didn't you say that Sultan Gu died? Why is he still alive?!"

Haidu Aling looked in the direction of Tamara Ka, frowning tightly.

Tamara is famous in all countries, and the ancient sultans are brave and good at war. The Buddha son and the regent king who made all the countries feel fearful are the same person, and the surrounding small countries dare not easily send troops to attack the royal court. In order to borrow more troops, he hinted that the chiefs Tamara was dead, and the chiefs readily agreed to borrow troops.

It never occurred to me that Tanmaraka did not die in the pursuit of the noble family, and that he would come back to defend the city after losing the throne.

Haidu Aling was secretly shocked.

Wakhan Khan once told him that half of Beirong was defeated by the hands of Tamara, and the other half was defeated by internal power struggles and the struggle for power among nobles. There are also many contradictions among the royal court nobles. When those contradictions break out, it is the best time to seize the holy city.

He waited for this moment, but Tamara was more tenacious than he and the old khan had expected.

It's no wonder that Wakhan Khan has always been deeply afraid of Tanmaraga. This person may be really broad-minded, or he may just have far-reaching plans. In short, whether the Holy City wins or loses this battle, his reputation will spread to all. In this country, he doesn't have to fight with aristocratic families, he can easily regain the throne and win over people's hearts.

What if the Buddha is a murderous regent? In troubled times, whoever can keep the people alive is the king in the eyes of the people.

When everyone was shocked, Tan Mo Luojia galloped down, and the soldiers behind him in different armors followed him without hesitation, waving a long knife, and pierced directly into the battle formation in the middle of the Northern Rong Allied Forces, bringing The indomitable momentum collided with a tribal cavalry.

The cavalry took advantage of the high-headed horses to charge. They were not in a hurry. The three formed a team, two of them wrapped around the cavalry, and one of them slashed the horse's legs. Fall off the horse.

In an instant, the two teams of men and horses were strangled together, and the Buddha's team was not afraid of death, biting the enemy's throat like a beast, no matter how hard the enemy struggled, they couldn't get rid of them.

Frightened, the chiefs stopped their offensive against the Holy City and ordered the two-winged cavalry to retreat.

"Sultan Gu has a great talent and has thousands of troops. He can kill the enemy alone! He must have brought reinforcements back!"

For a while, people turned their backs, and several tribal chiefs turned around and retreated.

Haidu Aling clenched the reins, was furious, looked around, and thought calmly: Tamara was hunted down by a family, it was impossible to gather a 100,000 coalition army to compete with him in such a short period of time. team!

"Don't panic!" he shouted, "Wang Ting people hated the Han people. After the abolition of Sultan Gu, they immediately sent troops to attack the Western Army. The Wei Dynasty and Wang Ting started a war.

"Sultan Gu directly led the troops to break up the coalition forces, but he was just bluffing!

The tribal chiefs turned a deaf ear and continued to retreat.

"Children, follow me!"

Haidu Aling gritted his teeth and drew his knife, shouted to his subordinates behind him, and rushed forward.

It is not the first time that the coalition has not obeyed orders.

In the front, the Thamaraga monk's robe was hunting, like a sharp knife with a cold light, and he continued to approach the center of the coalition forces with his personal guards. in two halves.

The slush splashed all over the sky, and the arrows flew.

Haidu Aling rushed forward with his subordinates, and Tamara's team suddenly began to shrink in the middle, and then retreated without hesitation.

The Beirong troops were overjoyed and immediately chased after them.

Haidu Aling was stunned, an ominous premonition struck his heart, and his palms were sweating: Could all this be Tamara's plan? He used this trick before by setting up an ambush and inflicting heavy losses on Wakhan Khan.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the holy city. Tanmaraka suddenly fell from the sky, and the morale of the holy city's defenders was greatly boosted. Attacking the holy city at this time would likely fall into Tanmaraga's trap.

With the sound of killing in his ears, his subordinates clasped their fists and asked for instructions: "Prince, the formation of the left and right flanks is already in chaos! Which side shall we fill?"

"Retreat! Save your strength and let the horde cavalry stand up!"

He was decisive.

When the Beirong people also began to retreat, the other tribal cavalry became more and more panicked. The team went out to meet, and the two armies quickly converged and retreated into the city.

The Northern Rong Allied Forces temporarily retreated to the main camp and stopped attacking.

In front of the city gate, there are thousands of people moving.

The people do not understand the blood and blood in the court, and they are confused. After Tanmaraga left, the family began to revise the law and exploited the commoners intensified. Only then did they realize that the previous turmoil was probably a conspiracy of the family. Unfortunately, it was too late and the Buddha disappeared.

After the holy city was besieged, they lived in fear and torment all the time. The sky over the holy city was shrouded in gloomy clouds, and there were miserable winds and rains everywhere.

Hearing that Thamaraga had brought troops back, they rushed out of the house excitedly with the old and the young to meet their king.

Soon, all the people of the whole city came, men, women and children, the poor and the poor, the rich and the noble, kneeling on both sides of the long street, weeping with excitement.

"King, we shouldn't listen to slander! We shouldn't be deceived by those nobles!"

"We are sorry King!"

"The king has given us a stable life and is a well-deserved son of Buddha!"

"What's the use of the edict that Princess Chima took out? We don't recognize the edict, only the king!"

They burst into tears.

The team walked past them without stopping.

The people raised their heads and looked up at the general surrounded by soldiers, their eyes were extremely eager, and they cried, shouted, and cried, and their voices merged into a wave that shot straight into the sky.

"King! You are back!"

"You are our king!"

They cried and trembled, and the whole long street was wailing one after another.

Those people who had been instigated by noble families and monks to suspect that Thamaraga had colluded with foreigners and felt that he was not worthy to be king were too ashamed and regretful. Note.

The procession passed them, and the snow and dirt from the horses' hooves fell on their faces.

The reinforcements crossed the long street and went straight to the Wang Temple.

The people fell on their knees and kissed the place where Tamaroka's mount passed, with tears streaming down their faces.

The square outside the Wang Temple was already full of people kneeling, and after a while, the generals and officials rushed over, all with tired faces and bruises all over their bodies.

Before the forces of the Northern Rong Allied Forces crushed the border, the dignitaries and nobles in the city were busy packing their luggage, arranging carriages and horses, and fleeing secretly when the night was dark and windy. When Luo Jia was thirteen years old, he left behind the feat of defending the city, endured his fear, climbed to the top of the city, and defended the city with the soldiers.

People are in the city, they are promoted by the king himself, and they cannot fall into the face of the king!

They knelt in front of the temple gate and kowtowed in unison.

The procession stopped, and Thamaraga dismounted.

The black and dense heads on the square hung down, and they bowed to him.

Without a trace of expression on his face, Tanmaraka didn't even glance at them, and stepped into the king's temple.

Bi Suo was covered in wounds, and his armor was tattered on his body. Looking at his back, he looked worried. He grabbed Yuanjue, who was dismounting afterward.

On the battlefield, when he saw Loga's arrow piercing the enemy general, the other soldiers rejoiced, but in his heart there was only despair: Loga's body could not bear the backlash of the exercises, and both the healer and Munda Deva warned him that he could no longer Good luck! This time, forcing him to exercise his energy is equivalent to exhausting the last bit of effort. How long can he last

Yuanjue's eyes turned red: "Since yesterday..."

That day, Jinbo accidentally missed his mouth, and Tamara learned that after he fell asleep, there were turmoil everywhere in the royal court, Haidu Aling made a comeback, and the holy city was in jeopardy, so he decided to come back. They could not be persuaded, so they could only turn around and go back. On the way, they encountered a few loyalists who were loyal to Tamara, and hurried back to the holy city. Last night, Tamara asked Yuanjue to take out all the medicinal pills and ate them all in one breath—he had to use his skills to win the battle, shock the coalition forces, and scare off Haidu Aling and those tribal chiefs.

This time, Thamaraka, who was doing the exercise, did not change his robe.

"How many reinforcements are there?"

Yuanjue shook his head and sighed: "There are only more than 2,000 people. These people were originally soldiers of the Fifth Army. They didn't want to be driven by Princess Chima and secretly went out to defect to the king. They happened to meet us... The situation is too urgent!"

Bi Su clenched her fists and hurried to keep up with Tamara.

Tamara stood in front of the main hall where the alcoves were displayed, staring at the pitch-black boxes on the table in the main hall.

At this moment, Bi Su did not know whether he was Tamara or Sultan.

They are one person, but Bi Suo could distinguish him as a son of Buddha from him as a regent.

Now, Luo Jia and Sultan are integrated into one. He is wearing a monk's robe and galloping in front of the battle. He no longer needs to wear a mask on his face. He is more majestic and imposing than before. Word.

Bi Su didn't know if this was good or bad.

Why is he coming back! There are a hundred thousand people in the North Rong allied army! With a crowd of 100,000 people, they can't keep the city at all...

Bi Su covered her mourning and said in a hoarse voice, "Ali, Prajna, and the corpses of the guards have all been gathered up, and they are all here... The corpses that the people quietly helped gather up. Wang, the generals of the guards are pedantic, but still There are many soldiers who are still loyal to you, and so are the people. Not long ago, they quietly set fire to the Wang Temple and the Kang family’s house…”

"Who is the mastermind behind the scenes? How many are involved?"

Tamara asked, his voice cold.

Bi Suo clasped his fists: "Whichever benefits the most, which one will definitely participate, the Kang family, the An family, and the Wugu family, which has only recently risen... They used the edict in Chima's hand to secretly unite with the monks in the temple, first inciting people's hearts, saying The king shielded the Han people, aroused the resentment of the people, then murdered and framed the blame, disturbed the hearts of the people, made the people fear the regent, and then secretly captured Mobido, Meng Ke, Zhang Xiaowei, who were loyal to the king, and controlled the prohibition of the holy city. The guards and the guards of the central army, let Chima provoke the conflict between me and the king, and then profit from it..."

Princess Chima persuaded her concubine Akley to cooperate with her, but Akley refused. The family was afraid that Akley would reveal the secret and simply killed Akley.

On that day, Bi Su didn't want to deceive Tamara Ka again, told him his life experience, sent him away, dragged the pursuers, and was captured after exhaustion.

There were riots in the city for several days, and officials and generals who were still loyal to Tanmaraka were imprisoned. The family sent people to spread rumors everywhere, slandering Tanmaraka, saying that he had joined hands with the Han people to seize the royal court, and the people believed it.

Princess Chima and the aristocratic family force Bi Suo to take the throne.

Bi Su pretended to cooperate, trying to find a way to rescue the generals who sympathized with Tanmoraga one after another, asked Princess Chima about her accomplices, followed the vines, and pieced together what they had planned.

What made him shudder was that Princess Chima and the others originally planned to use Princess Wenzhao to threaten Luo Jia, and they set the fire in the post house.

Chima wanted to seize the evidence that Tanmo Luojia and Princess Wenzhao secretly made peace, and waited for a long time without finding a chance to start. Later, the maid told her that Princess Wenzhao was still a virgin. She felt that it was incredible and had to give up this plan.

After listening to Bi Su's words, Tamara's expression remained unchanged, and asked, "Is there a roster?"

"I wrote it down and took it with me."

Bi Suo took out the roster and laughed at himself. He wanted to stabilize the situation and take revenge for Tamara, but he was too weak and could not do anything to the family. He could only hide the roster and evidence first, hoping to wait until there was a chance to slow down. Pack up those people slowly.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the king's court was turned upside down, losing even in battles, the holy city was besieged, the families went their separate ways, and after more than half of the run, Princess Chima also ran away. Before leaving, she knelt down and begged him to accompany her to leave with her. , he ignored.

He is the general of the Chinese army, the son of the Tanmo family, and it is his responsibility to protect the holy city.

When the coalition army came, everyone was more fortunate than good.

Tamara Raja raised his hand.

The guards who were waiting outside the corridor immediately stepped forward, took Bi Su's roster, and left in a hurry.

Tamara turned around and walked into his meditation room. All the furnishings in the house are the same as before. There are dark bloodstains on the tiled floor, the traces of sword cuts on the pillars and windows are still there, and several arrows are inserted into the earth wall.

He walked through the empty inner hall, went to the couch, pulled out the drawer, and found a paper bag and a red hairband.

He kept the thorn honey she gave him and never ate it.

He pressed the paper bag into his arms, picked up the hair band and wrapped it around his wrist, and walked out of the inner hall.

There was a rush of footsteps in the corridor, and the monks who stayed in the temple stood at the foot of the steps, all looking at him, hesitating to say anything, looking ashamed.

An old monk stepped forward with a look of shame on his face: "Wang Xin sent the common people, in order to guard the holy city and protect the people, regardless of safety, he rushed back to take charge of the overall situation... The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, and I am obsessed with it, because we are born in blood. Prejudice arises, and because of General Sai Sang Er, I suspect that Wang kills innocent people indiscriminately, but I don’t know that the king has great love in his heart, is not stained by all colors, and is not fascinated by all appearances… We are ashamed.”

The monks prayed together.

Tamara Ka stepped down the steps, did not look at them, and walked out surrounded by personal soldiers.

From then on, there will be no more kings living in the Wang Temple in the royal court.

Yuanjue, who was walking behind, sneered and glanced around: "The holy city is surrounded, are you going to continue to sit in the temple and recite the scriptures, or do you follow the king and help guard the holy city like me?"

The monks blushed.

After half an hour, the personal guards took the people on the roster back to Wang Temple.

The angry people rushed up immediately, picked up stones, and threw them on them. Seeing that the guards did not stop them, they rushed forward to beat them and tore them apart.

"You frame the Buddha! Chase and kill the Buddha! Coax us!"

"Kill them! They almost killed the Buddha!"

The officials were bleeding and screaming for help, but no one paid any attention.

Tamara Ka rode out of the king's temple, still wearing a monk's robe, the sun shone on his sharp face, and the lines of his facial features became more and more distinct.

Wherever he went, there was cries.

The people wept bitterly and shouted his dharma name loudly. The soldiers looked up at him, their eyes flashing with enthusiasm that they were willing to die for him.

Tanmaraka climbed to the top of the city without a trace of waves on his face.

The generals came forward to report the situation in the city. Most of them were low-level officers and had no access to military secrets.

Tamara asked how much food, how many soldiers and horses, and how many weapons in the city, and everyone answered them one by one.

He frowned slightly.

Bi Su sighed: "All the bows and ballistas have been scrapped, and there are not many arrows left. Haidu Aling said that they brought enough grain and grass for half a year this time, and our granary is almost empty..."

The faces of the people were gloomy.

Everyone understands that there was a turmoil in the royal court, and various tribes moved one after another. The troops stationed in other important towns were too busy and could not come to help. Without food, they could not hold on for long...

Tamara looked at the densely packed camps of the Northern Rong Alliance outside the city, "The holy city must be defended, Haidu Aling's ambition is not only to loot the holy city, the holy city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if he captures the holy city, the entire royal court will fall. In his hands, he can also take advantage of the geographical advantage to expand east to west..."

At that time, the huge loss that Yao Ying had just recovered will also be taken away by him.

Everyone was shocked when they heard that, once Haidu Aling captured the Holy City, the entire royal court would be destroyed!

"Defend the holy city and hold back their forces."

Thamaraga way.

Everyone responded in unison, calmly and generously - even if they all died in this battle, they would not let Haidu Aling succeed!

After a while, several edicts were issued.

The officials and soldiers who remained to defend the city, regardless of their background, were all promoted to the first level, and those who made meritorious deeds were rewarded for their merits and deeds.

All the strong men in the city who could go to the battlefield assembled, divided into several teams and rushed to different city gates.

The old and weak women also walked out of the house and were divided into different teams under the command of the guards. Some helped carry equipment, some helped soldiers heal wounds, and some helped to run errands and pass messages.

From today, all the food in the city will be distributed by the army.

The clerk found those craftsmen who were good at making equipment according to the roster, and called them to help repair and improve the defense equipment on the city head.

In addition, Tamara Ka also announced an edict.

From today onwards, all slaves who belong to the nobles in the city can be free as long as they participate in the defense of the city, regardless of whether they are male or female.

This edict was issued, and there was an uproar.

The slaves in the city who did not have time to escape were overjoyed and wept bitterly. They all found soldiers, took up weapons, and defended the city with the soldiers. The monks also walked out of the Wang Temple. They could not kill any living beings. They helped to count and distribute the food and maintain order to prevent the old and the weak, women and children from being robbed of food when they were receiving food.

With Tan Mo Luojia in charge, from the generals to the common people, everyone found the backbone at once, changed the despair and slump before, calmed down, and stopped rushing about.

The morale of the army was unprecedentedly high, and the officers did not need to say anything inspiring. As long as Tamara gave an order, even if there was a sea of blood in front of them, the soldiers would not hesitate to rush forward.

Whenever the Northern Rong allied forces attacked the city, Tamara would stand on the top of the city and command the soldiers, dressed in a monk's robe, with a majestic figure, as if not afraid of arrows flying in the sky.

Under his leadership, the soldiers repelled the attacks of the Northern Army.

Six days later, the arrows in the city were exhausted, and the food was almost exhausted. The soldiers guarded the city hungry and dizzy.

The Beirong people are like waves, coming up in waves, they are islands that are about to sink in the waves, and they are swallowed up by the waves little by little.

The soldiers were red-eyed, and the corpses piled up into mountains under the city.

The setting sun is like blood.

The Northern Rong Allied Forces once again attacked the city head, aggressively.

Bi Suo held a long knife, covered in blood, and cut down a Beirong man who climbed up from the rope ladder. He and Yuanjue cut the rope ladder together, and the long knife turned over the edge.

The horn sounded, and the North Rong coalition retreated.

Bi Su lay down in a pool of blood, panting, and looked at Tamara Ka, feeling sad in her heart.

He wasn't afraid of death, he was just sad for Lorgar.

Several soldiers were seriously injured and their bodies were cold, and the people next to them sang a battle song in order to comfort them.

At first, the singing was sad and low. Later, more and more people hummed along. The soldiers had chapped lips and wiped the blood on their knives. The singing became louder and louder. Songs, like rivers merging into the vast sea, passing through clouds and cracking rocks, echoed over the holy city for a long time.

Suddenly, a peculiar sharp sound interrupted the desolate singing flying on the battlefield.

Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

The red sun has already fallen into the valley, and in the dark sky, silver lights with flickering tails rushed into the sky one after another, reflecting half of the sky brightly, and then moved towards the camp of the Northern Rong Alliance.

But in the blink of an eye, a roaring fire burst from the coalition camp, silver light fell from the sky, and the earth shook with the roar of thunder.

The soldiers of the Royal Court had never seen such a scene before and were stunned.

The North Rong coalition camp was in chaos and turned into a sea of fire.

The soldiers at the head of the city suddenly pointed in one direction and shouted: "Reinforcement! Reinforcement!"

Everyone was full of energy and looked in the direction of his fingers.

The author has something to say: This chapter is not finished, I didn’t write about meeting crazy, I will finish this chapter later, I suggest you get up and read it tomorrow morning
