Chapter 185 The Battle of the Great Week

The Hundred Refining Sect was destroyed, but Dali was still in a state of being besieged on all sides.

Just when Zheng Ming broke through Bailian City, the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered an army of 500,000 and launched an attack on Tianhan Mansion in Yunshang Province.

Tianhanfu City, on the city wall.

Sun Jiao looked at the barracks of Da Zhou outside the city with a serious look on his face.

"General, it looks like they are going to attack the city soon." Gao Shun said in a deep voice.

Sun Jiao nodded and let out a heavy sigh.

"Brother Gao, the Great Zhou is going to be serious this time. They not only gathered 500,000 troops, but also sent three master masters, one of whom is the Taoist leader Xu An."

"If, if I unfortunately die in battle, then it will be up to you."

A master master has the ability to take the head of an enemy general among thousands of armies.

And as the general of Zhennan, he is definitely the opponent's first target.

Gao Shun hesitated to speak.

He wanted to comfort Sun Jiao, but he couldn't say what he said.

Death in battle is the best destination for a general.

Serving the dynasty is their greatest honor.

If Sun Jiaozhan died, he would be next.

He couldn't persuade Sun Jiao to hide, just like he couldn't persuade himself to hide.

The bronze horn made a thick sound, which came out continuously.

Da Zhou began to attack the city.

Teams of soldiers in iron armor brought siege equipment and launched an impact towards Tianhanfu City.

Ladders, chariots, crash cars and many, many large shields.

Pushed by the soldiers, he slowly approached the city wall.

At the same time, a large boulder flew from the sky.This is Da Zhou's trebuchet.

Boom boom boom!
A stone the size of an iron pot fell on the city wall, taking away many soldiers in an instant.

"Archery!"

Whoosh whoosh~~
Thousands of arrows were fired, covering the sky and covering the earth.

The sharp arrows landed on the iron armor, making a crisp sound, and a small part penetrated the gap in the iron armor and shot into the body of the Zhou soldier.

For a while, many soldiers of the Great Zhou fell to the ground and howled.

However, their wailing did not slow down the pace of the rest of the soldiers' impact.

In a blink of an eye, the ladder was already on the city wall, and a large number of soldiers were desperately climbing up.

Sun Jiao looked at more and more enemy troops, and said in a deep voice, "Send out the mechanism birds, and target the trebuchets."

The mechanism beast is his hole card, and he has not dispatched it all the time, just to change the situation of the battle at a critical moment.

Although it was only the beginning of the battle at this time, the threat of the trebuchet was too great, and they had to get rid of the trebuchet first.

"Here!" Gao Shun immediately responded.

Since then.

Twenty machine birds flew into the sky,

In the Great Zhou barracks.

Xu An looked at the mechanism bird in the air with a strange expression.

"what is that?"

"do not know."

"There are such strange birds in this world?"

"It doesn't seem to be a bird!"

The generals around are discussing.

As the mechanism bird approached, Xu An's face changed slightly.

"careful!"

He reminded eagerly.

Crossbow bolts fell from the sky one after another, and the crossbow bolts scattered into more small arrows in midair.

bang bang bang ~~
Immediately, the sound of explosions continued one after another, countless soldiers screamed and wailed, and a large number of trebuchets were blown to pieces.

"Damn it, it's the explosive crossbow from Shanhai County!" a famous general cursed angrily.

"Blow the wind!"

Xu An was wearing a Taoist robe and waved his arms.

next moment.

A sudden gust of wind stirred up dust, filling the sky and the earth.

The organ bird in the air immediately encountered the rapid wind current and became unstable.

There were even two machine birds that lost control and fell down.

The gust of wind howled, and the mechanism engineer operating the mechanism bird did not dare to stay any longer, and immediately turned to retreat.

After they disappeared, Xu An also stopped, but his face was not pretty.

Although the machine birds were driven away, their catapults suffered heavy losses. Nearly half of them were scrapped directly, and many of the rest needed repairs before they could be used.

At the same time, seeing the retreating soldiers, he said in a low voice, "Ming Jin retreats."

This siege was just a tentative move, but the result was a lot of losses, which made him a little dissatisfied.

"They retreated!" Gao Shun said in surprise.

"It's a good thing there's an organ bird, otherwise it must have been a tough battle." Sun Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Guiyun Province.

In the Guards camp.

Zheng Ming raised his eyebrows as he looked at the memorial sent from Tianhan Mansion.

"Da Zhou actually did it so quickly, it seems that they can't wait."

It has only been two months since Zheng Qingsong personally conquered Bailianzong. In just two months, 500,000 troops have gathered. To start the war in such a hasty situation, it can only be said that they are really eager.

"Your Majesty, Sun Jiao and the others probably won't be able to stop Da Zhou's attack. I will bring the southern army to support now." Chen Ze stood in the tent and said anxiously.

"Wait, don't worry, even if you start now, it will take a few days before that." Zheng Ming stopped him.

"And it's not enough for you to go, Da Zhou has dispatched master masters."

Zheng Ming glanced at the people in the camp, and said, "Ximen Sword God, Master, this time the Great Week will be resolved by your worship hall."

"The old minister took the order." Wang Shouming responded.

Zheng Ming looked at Chen Ze again, and said, "I want all the territory north of Yunshang River, can I do it?"

Chen Ze's heart trembled.

All the territories north of the Yunshang River!

That's almost one-third of the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In addition to Yunnan Province, which had already fallen into the hands of Dali, there were also Shangyuan Province, Donghai Province, and Wanjiang Province where Lingyuan Mansion was located.If this is the case, Da Zhou might really be in a hurry.

"I once said that when the war will start, it is up to the Zhou Dynasty, but when it ends, it is up to me to decide. The north of the Yunshang River, the land of the three provinces, I will decide." Zheng Ming looked at Chen. Ze.

"The humble minister leads the decree!" Chen Ze knelt on the ground and bowed.

At this moment, he finally understood Zheng Ming's ambition, bigger than Zheng Qingsong's.

But he didn't feel panic because of this, instead he was so excited that even the blood in his body seemed to be boiling.

"Go." Zheng Ming said softly.

"Amitabha, Your Majesty, the old monk has something to ask."

Suddenly, Ci Xin stood up and said.

Zheng Ming looked at him in surprise, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ci Xin hesitated a little: "Can the old monk not go?"

He is the master enshrined in the hall of worship, and Zheng Ming asked the hall of worship to deal with Da Zhou's attack, so he naturally wanted to go, but he didn't want to go.

Zheng Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Why?"

"The monks have compassion in their hearts." Compassion said with her head bowed.

At this moment, he felt a little uneasy, never before, even when facing Zheng Qingsong before, he had never been so uneasy.

The demise of Bailianzong brought the biggest impact on Zheng Ming. With this achievement, Zheng Ming's power here has reached its peak, even worse than Zheng Qingsong back then.

When this news spreads throughout Dali, and beyond Dali, Zheng Ming's power will skyrocket again.

Facing Zheng Ming, even a master like Ci Xin inevitably panicked.

In fact, it wasn't just him, most people in the tent were in awe of Zheng Ming.

Zheng Ming looked at him with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

It is indeed a bit embarrassing to let the monk go to the battlefield, but the monk is also a practitioner.

Although Buddhism and Taoism are not popular in Dali, there are quite a few of them, but they are much less than those of the Martial Dao Sect.

Since he is a cultivator, it is inevitable to fight.

Monks in this world don't only know how to read scriptures and eat fast.

Especially compassion, although his cultivation level is not as good as Wang Shouming's, but it is not much worse.

Such a person, Zheng Ming would absolutely not allow him to have a free meal in the hall of worship.

However, Zheng Ming didn't intend to force him, the key is to have benefits.

"After I return to Beijing, I plan to promote the way of cultivation. I plan to establish several holy places for cultivation around the capital, the Heavenly Master's Mansion for the Old Heavenly Masters, the Confucian Saints' Academy, and the Jingwu Hall based on the inheritance of the Hundred Refining Sect. All kinds of miscellaneous studies in the world are hundreds of schools, as well as Fengguo Temple, which focuses on Buddhism and Taoism."

"Are you willing to be the abbot of Fengguo Temple?"

Zheng Ming looked at Ci Xin and asked.

Ci Xin's expression froze, and she bowed her head in silence.

"If you don't want to, there is no need for Fengguo Temple to exist. Without even a master master, Fengguo Temple is not qualified to be a holy place." Zheng Ming said again.

At this moment, Ci Xin didn't understand what Zheng Ming meant, it was obviously forcing him, no, it couldn't be called persecution, it should be called lure.

Dali Martial Arts flourished, but in reality it was pure martial arts. Most sects just practiced martial arts, without any special thoughts or beliefs.

But Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are different.

Confucianism advocates the rule of morality, respecting the king and fighting barbarians, and order between the upper and lower levels, so it is most favored by the emperor and the court. It can be said that Confucianism is the most staunch supporter of the royal family.Take Wang Shouming as an example. As a Confucian master, he is a detached existence in the court.

The second is Taoism. In the past, Dali's Taoism did not have much influence, and it was not even as good as their Buddhism, but now it is different. An old celestial master is enough to make Taoism flourish.

In the end, their Buddhism was not prosperous in the first place. If they gave up the opportunity to establish a holy place for cultivation, then Dali might not have a place for Buddhism in the future.

Ci Xin sighed slightly, and said, "Old monk, thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Apart from agreeing, he had no other choice. This was Zheng Ming's conspiracy, and even if he understood it, he couldn't refuse it.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and said: "I am a greedy person, as long as it is useful to the dynasty, I want it. Whether it is Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, or other ways of cultivation, I will do my best to use it."

He glanced at the other people in the worship hall, and continued: "But if it's useless, there's no need to keep it. Instead of wasting food, it's better to get rid of it."

Under the understated tone, a majestic aura suddenly exploded.

The majestic imperial prestige filled the entire camp, making everyone's hearts tense.

Zheng Ziming and the others all stared wide-eyed, looking at him in shock.

Is this the aura of a master?

I have long heard that His Majesty has the power of a master, but I never thought it was true!
Everyone was shocked.

Zheng Ming saw their shocked expressions, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Pay equal attention to grace and power, the way of the emperor.

The previous power and influence was established by the old Tianshi and Ximen Chuixue, which was enough to make Zheng Ming have supreme majesty in the army, in the court, and among the people.

However, for these masters, Zheng Ming still needed the authority that belonged only to him.

Ci Xin dared to stand up, but in the final analysis, he was not in awe of him enough.

Now Zheng Ming is going to tell them with mighty imperial prestige.

I am the Godless Emperor of Dali.

You and other masters are only my subjects.

　Thank you for not being cured of insanity, sword victory, freedom without wind and cloud, rushing to freedom, I have no words to let tears flow, light ink good luck tricks people, Tai and other book friends for their rewards, thank you all book friends for your support.
