I have a fortune book

Chapter 314 The composition of power, Mr. Wuwei
The north wind is bleak, the sky is gloomy, and scattered snowflakes are falling on the northwest land again.

Ten miles away from the Wuwei Gorge Road, the main force of nearly [-] Wufans was marching rapidly in a long queue.

Although it looks messy from a distance, the military strength is astonishing. It is obvious that these are not ordinary weak soldiers.

When the first touch of green appeared in front of them, there was a sudden commotion from the army. They were about to enter the warm valley in the ice and snow. There was no better news than this.

The commoner monks and soldiers walking in the front and rear ranks of the army were also unable to keep calm. Even the sound of chanting sutras was a little hasty. It was indeed that the expedition journey was too long.

Traveling in the cold wind is said to be a way to exercise your body and sharpen your mind towards Buddha in the sea of ​​suffering.

In fact, the Us Territory is a civilized desert. The Wufan Kingdom was established not long ago, with a lot of waste waiting to be developed, and the basic industrial manufacturing capacity is extremely poor.

Except for secular soldiers who are not well trained and must be equipped with winter clothes and leather armor, most monk soldiers wear cloth clothes and rely on their blood to keep out the cold.

At most, this will consume the physical lifespan and leave some hidden dangers of internal diseases, but it can save the country a lot of money and food and promote the process of outward expansion in advance.

Where the central army is located, there are either noble lords wearing gorgeous armor or monk generals wearing commoners. It is rare to see famous generals and generals who are truly solemn and majestic.

The origin of the strange division of power in the military lies in the long period of division in Us.

Given the vastness of the Central Plains, there are not even a hundred princes to be found today, but there were thousands of lords in the Us domain in the past. Each lord was a powerful aristocrat who ruled over the serfs and civilians and controlled resources and wealth.

Judging from the power currently held by the nobles, Buddhism must have compromised them in the process of establishing the Wubo Kingdom. For the sake of the great cause, not everyone is equal before Buddhism.

The Uth region is bitter and cold and barren. Except for the servants maintained by the nobles who are qualified sources of soldiers, it is difficult to recruit an elite army in a short period of time.

"Long live!" Amid some restless emotions, the Wufan army set foot on the Wuwei Gorge Road.

The top brass of the Chinese army had different performances, and the most excited ones were undoubtedly the nobles. They had never suffered this crime in their own territory in Us.

"The former army successfully passed through the gorge and can finally relax. I heard that all the beauties outside the territory are very beautiful. I have been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Hahaha, what I'm saying is that Wuwei is already a vassal state of my country, and we don't just pick the beauties in Wudu City."

"You must try Wuwei's wine..." Several noble generals riding tall black horses and wearing gorgeous robes discussed loudly, talking about how to relax and enjoy themselves.

However, the soldiers, generals and even the monks of the Chinese army did not think there was anything wrong with their behavior, because anyone here was a great lord of the level of Hou Bo.

No, as soon as the solemn-faced Chinese army leader Battelle was unaware of the situation, a frivolous young noble immediately became unhappy and began to speak arrogantly.

"Quick, Battle ordered the Chinese army to speed up. We have to take a dip in the hot spring before noon."

As one of the top generals in the Wubo Kingdom and the actual military commander of this expedition, Battelle could not bear such an offense. His blood boiled up and he immediately wanted to scold the rude person.

Although he comes from a humble background, he has the support of the king, and ordinary nobles are not afraid of him, and can suppress him with great justice.

"Nie Chi Zanpu's legitimate son, the king will confer a title on him as a duke after Banshi returns to the court. Now there are at least 5000 people in the army following his orders..." After Battelle recognized the identity of the young noble, his expression changed, and the situation became awkward for a time.

The title of Zanpu is equivalent to king in Wufan. Before Wufan was established, Niechi was one of the few powerful countries. After the merger with Wufan, the power of the Niechi family did not diminish at all.

The entire expeditionary army is equivalent to a patchwork of private soldiers from multiple nobles. If the relationship between superiors and subordinates is not properly handled, there will definitely be hidden dangers when war breaks out later.

Fortunately, the great monk Brahma, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, suddenly came to the rescue: "Okay, why are the Nie Chi family so impatient? It seems that the cultivation of Buddha nature is not enough."

Brahma is wearing a bright red cassock, has a kind face, and speaks softly and moderately, but the arrogant and frivolous young nobleman dare not show any disrespect. This is a virtuous monk who can communicate with the Buddha in the West.

The cultivation of Buddha nature is an important evaluation in today's Uthland. Nie Chi repeatedly complained and did not dare to provoke coach Battelle again.

Battelle followed the trend and chatted with the Chinese Army General about other topics: "I heard that the war on the front line is not progressing well, and the loyal Buddhists in the northwest dependent countries suffered heavy casualties. Alas."

"If we wait for another two years, it would be easier for us, Dawufan, to digest the secrets of the northwest countries and invade the Central Plains." A lieutenant general quickly agreed.

"Unless we can completely conquer Qinzhou this time, or even invade Western Shu, it will be a loss-making business."

"With the foundation of the northwest, we can support such a war..."

Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even eminent monks who were proficient in Buddhism did not understand why the imperial court was so eager to go on an expedition.

Wubo country is in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. If you delve into the internal affairs casually, you can accumulate huge national power.

Is it just to promote Buddhism and make Buddhism famous all over the world again?I'm afraid it's more than that, or maybe it's related to the changes in the structure of the Northern Territory and Western Shu?

They were all the elites of the upper class of Wubo and had a lot of knowledge. They could change the subject in just a few words.

However, none of them thought that they would be unable to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. Since the war started, their troops and horses have not been damaged.

There are 1 well-trained private soldiers of the nobles, more than [-] monk soldiers who are accomplished in martial arts, and nearly [-] troops cannot go anywhere, and the northwest countries and grasslands are still recruiting servants in a steady stream.

In the past two years, they swept across the northwest with only [-] Tibetan soldiers. This expedition could not gain a foothold in the Central Plains. Battelle, who had always been steady, did not believe it.

Relations between the leadership have eased on the surface, and the Chinese military is about to enter the long Wuwei Gorge. Battelle is watching the situation in all directions out of professionalism.

Everywhere you look is a world of ice and snow, and a vast expanse of white.

As a military general, he must be responsible for the army. Battelle frowned and ordered: "Scatter all the sentries and cavalry. Please cooperate with the Buddhist cultivators who are accompanying the army."

Soon, groups of sentinels with excellent riding skills emerged into the wind and snow, followed by hundreds of Buddhist cultivators who could fly across the sky. "The former army reported that all of them have passed through the gorge!"

When Battle heard the news sent back earlier, he couldn't help but hesitate. According to his idea, he must clear the surrounding situation before entering.

But the snowstorm was getting heavier and heavier, and from the corner of my eye I could see the restlessness and dissatisfaction of Nie Chi and other nobles.

After all, the northwest is a vassal territory, how could there be an ambush without knowing it? If there was just a problem in Wudu, the retreat would still be guaranteed.

"In this case, the whole army will be stationed in Wudu City for rest!" The Qinzhou battlefield was not far away. Battelle did not want to stalemate the relationship between the generals, so he waved an order and the Chinese army entered the gorge in an orderly manner.

He stood in front of the entrance of Wuwei Gorge Road, looking at the extremely steep and congested terrain, and couldn't help but sigh that it was a place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Of course, also suitable for ambushes.

……

Half an hour later, the front army arrived at Wudu City, the Wufan army completely entered the gorge, and the rear army of ten thousand people also began to set foot.

"Whoops~" The sound of the thunder cut through the wind and snow, and hundreds of feet away, Zhou Baili shot an arrow from the top of the city, and the miracle of archery with perfect accuracy was once again displayed.

"There are assassins, please save the general." The attack was shocking, and the general who was under heavy protection died suddenly.

"The King is a great shooter!" An old man wearing old royal clothes praised loudly. He was the old king of Wuwei Kingdom, who was rescued from the dungeon by Zhou Bai two days ago.

I thought it was an assassin, but in fact a war broke out. The [-] Ukrainian and Tibetan front troops lost their command and fell into a melee.

"There is an ambush, and the Lord of Wuwei has rebelled!"

"Withdraw, withdraw first, and inform General Battle immediately!"

"Why retreat? There is nothing to fear from a group of traitors. This is all my contribution. Give it to me..."

"Kill!" At this moment, Xia troops poured out from all directions.

When the city gate opened, there were a thousand snow dragon cavalry wearing heavy armor. In the distance, there were tens of thousands of black armor cavalry on the farmland and plains. As for the [-] infantry, they fought out from behind the surrounding houses, canyon trees, and hilly back slopes.

The impact of the peak Snow Dragon Cavalry, even if it is not a downward dive, cannot be resisted by the Wufan army that has not yet formed its formation.

Whether they were monk soldiers with fleshy skin or armored elites of noble lords, they were all turned into powder in the torrent of steel.

"No, run quickly..." The little lords who were lucky enough to survive were terrified. Seeing another [-] black armored cavalry rushing over again, they all pulled their private troops to protect themselves.

Only a small number of grassroots officers who were promoted after the establishment of Uzbekistan are still working hard to restore the situation.

"Form up, wait until our cavalry arrives before retreating, form up!"

"The monk army stormed in, beheaded the generals and captured the flag, just like when we defeated the northwest countries!"

"gather!"

bang bang~
The sound of close collisions between the monk soldiers and the imperial guards was heard one after another. Iron rods and spears and swords faced off, and the blood energy condensed into dark smoke that filled the canyon.

"These monk soldiers are really capable. Some of them can actually challenge the imperial soldiers in a duel without falling behind at all." A staff officer at the Xia Army headquarters at the top of the city was dumbfounded.

It is not that there have been armies that have fought against the Great Xia Forbidden Army in the past, but their individual quality has never been able to catch up with them.

Wuwei Laowang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still not satisfied?When these monk soldiers slaughtered the Wuwei Army, it was like killing chickens.

"In terms of coordination and armament, they are still very different. Please don't fight alone and form a formation to fight the enemy." Zhou Bai shook his head and did not think that the monk soldiers could defeat the elite of the Forbidden Army that he had painstakingly trained for many years.

No matter how the Buddhas of the Western Heaven intervene in the human world, they must abide by the laws of human nature. Wufan has only been established for a long time, and there is no time to cultivate the military formations.

There is also a national army that actually orders out all the gates. It needs the lords to control the formation before they can be dispatched calmly. If the princes of the Central Plains encountered this situation, they would not go to the battlefield to die.

"Run quickly, it's not the Wuwei army, it's the Xia Kingdom's army."

"When did they seize Wudu City? I never want to set foot in the Central Plains again. Help me..." The sounds of crying to the sky and the earth kept coming.

The naked bloody massacre completely broke the courage of the soldiers of the Wubo Army. Thousands of monk soldiers resisted blindly, but they were worn out faster.

The bliss they talk about in the Western Heaven and becoming a Buddha after death cannot stop the violent iron fist of humanity.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, there is no one more wise and powerful than you. If you win this battle, it will be difficult for the Wufan Kingdom to reach the plateau in a short time. All the northwest countries will spread the name of Great Xia!"

"If we go back and keep the [-] riders from Dashanguan, Wuwei's annexation to the territory of Daxia will be a foregone conclusion..." Thinking of the follow-up situation, Wuwei King became more and more stooped and his voice trembled.

Of course, he was also very grateful for his cooperation. His son made a wrong bet, but he was right.

But when Zhou Bai heard the compliment from the leader of the country, he shook his head slightly and said, "Who told you that this battle would end here?"

Lao Wang was shocked and doubtful. Unless a large army jumped out of the grassland and blocked Wufan's retreat, pursuing them along the gorge would probably result in their tail being cut off.
