This god is really evil

Chapter 298: Mount the Horse, Open the Door, Charge
"The Mother of No Birth, the home of the vacuum, the white lotus descends to the world to save all living beings!"

In the wilderness below Qinghe County, the White Lotus Sect's soldiers were like ants in the wilderness, gathering towards Qinghe County in a black mass.

Each of these White Lotus sect soldiers carried a white lotus on their body, and their expressions were fanatical, and even had a faint sense of bloodthirstiness.

The White Lotus Saint and the White Lotus Priest were both in the army at this time. These White Lotus soldiers only felt that they had received infinite blessings and were not afraid of life or death at all.

In their view, with the presence of the Holy Lady of White Lotus, a sacred being who could communicate directly with the Mother of the Unborn, what they were participating in was more like a sacrifice than a war.

A sacrifice to the Mother of No Birth.

These soldiers were certain that as long as they died on the battlefield, their souls would naturally enter their homeland of vacuum and enjoy endless joy and happiness until eternity.

This is exactly what the White Lotus priests have been instilling in them. After the White Lotus Rebellion, they continued to capture cities and even took over the prefectures of Anding and Huai'an. Even the prefecture of Huaizhou was in turmoil, so the White Lotus soldiers believed this statement even more.

It is said that the high officials of Anding County, their families, and the attendants of the five great monsters in the county city, have all fled to the Qinghe County city in front of them. What they have to do today is to flatten the Qinghe County city and let these lackeys of the Da Qi court understand how powerful the Mother of No Birth is!
At this time, the White Lotus Sect's army formation had completely appeared in the wilderness below.

The soldiers guarding the city wall, who had been relatively calm, now showed some signs of agitation.

The main reason was that there were simply too many White Lotus soldiers, far exceeding their previous expectations!

At this time, the White Lotus sect soldiers had even begun to adopt the same deployment and formation as the regular army of the imperial court, which appeared to be very orderly. It was obvious that a general of the imperial court had surrendered to the White Lotus sect, and only then were they given the training methods.

Teams of a hundred men came charging in with their flags in hand, revealing a team of a thousand men. These teams of a thousand men in turn formed a huge team of ten thousand men, and the area they occupied could be considered filling up the entire valley.

Each team of 10,000 people had a large flag fluttering in the wind, and it was staffed by priests and sorcerers, as well as a group of officers composed of warriors.

There are twenty similar teams of ten thousand people.

Two hundred thousand troops!
Everyone on the city wall, including Situ Ming and other fortune tellers, felt a pang in their hearts.

You have to know that the entire Qinghe County has only a few hundred thousand people. Even if these 200,000 troops were to exchange one for one, they could still massacre the entire Qinghe County and still have money left.

The shouting of these 200,000 soldiers alone was as loud as thunder, shaking the roofs of the city tiles.

If 50,000 White Lotus soldiers were deployed on each of the four walls of Qinghe County and attacked the city at the same time, the several thousand soldiers defending Qinghe County would not be able to stop them at all.

Niu Ma also looked solemn at this time, and said to Li Yan beside him:

"Brother Li, the White Lotus Saint is here too. It's hard to deal with such a person. What are your plans? Are you going to rely on the Thousand Eyes Sect to launch a surprise attack from behind?"

At this time, he already knew the identity of Li Yanqian, the leader of the Eye Cult. After the initial shock, he had become somewhat numb to similar things.

Anyway, according to Li Yan, everything was arranged by Mr. Fuzun and can be explained.

But at this time, the White Lotus Sect's 200,000 troops were approaching, and the White Lotus Saint was in charge, which really made Niu Ma feel uneasy.

Nothing else matters, just don’t let the White Lotus Sect ruin Fu Zun’s plans.

He now understood that Fu Zun had already taken Situ Ming under his wing and had great ambitions. The entire Fate Palace was within Fu Zun's plan. If the sudden appearance of the White Lotus Saint disrupted things, it would be bad.

Li Yan smiled slightly, patted his shoulder and said:

"Brother Niu, relax, sit down and wait, everything is the will of Fuzun."

Then he lowered his voice and said to Niu Ma:
"This White Lotus Saint has long been sharing the same blessings as us."

Niu Ma's eyes widened and a look of surprise appeared on his face in an instant.

Even though he had long been numb to many things related to Li Yan, his face was still full of disbelief.

The White Lotus Saint, who is said to be the most devout White Lotus believer to the Mother of No Birth, has actually converted to Xuantian Fuzun?
own people?
But if the other party is our own, why would they mobilize so many troops to attack this small Qinghe County?
If Shentu Yun and other county officials were still alive, all this could be explained. It was to prevent the officers and soldiers of Anding County from reviving and allowing the White Lotus Sect to completely take over Anding County.

However, Liao Mingyuan had escaped death in the Qinghe County Government Office before, so he naturally knew that Shen Tu Yun and others had already died in that battle. What was the point of the White Lotus Saint attacking Qinghe County again?
Moreover, since we are all believers of Fu Zun, going to war now is really against Fu Zun's teachings.

At this moment, Niu Ma felt that his brain was not enough, and he didn't know what Brother Li was up to.

Li Yan laughed and said:

"Brother Niu, rest assured. Just listen to my orders and everything will become clear."

He stood up immediately, his face solemn, and ordered:
"Pass the order down. I will lead the troops out of the city to capture the enemy leader. Soldiers in the city who want to join me can line up under the north gate. It is a life-threatening journey, so everyone should think twice before proceeding!"

The person waiting for the order at the side was Zhao Mengsheng, the former head of Qinghe County. He had been temporarily appointed by Li Yan as the acting county lieutenant. Hearing this, he was horrified and hurriedly tried to dissuade him:
"Sir, you absolutely cannot do that! The White Lotus Sect has 200,000 members, and countless priests and sorcerers. It is said that the White Lotus Saint is also extremely powerful. She once killed tens of thousands of imperial soldiers by herself. There are only a few people in our city. Even if you are extremely lucky, if you take them out... they will definitely die!"

Having confidence in Li Yan's luck is one thing, but letting Li Yan go to his death is another.

But he knew that Lord Li was weak and not even at the Qi and Blood level.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan's expression became serious, and he shook his head and said:
"It is our duty to be loyal to the emperor and serve our country. How can we retreat just because the enemy is so powerful? Go and give the order immediately. This is my order! If this is my fate, I will die in the chaos of the army. It will be my wish come true."

Seeing Li Yan's firm words, Zhao Mengsheng felt bitter in his heart and said with a bitter face:
"Yes, sir... your humble servant... your humble servant will give the order right away!"

Zhao Mengsheng now knows Lord Li Yan very well. Although he is easy to talk to and is a civil servant with no martial arts skills, once Lord Li makes a decision, he will never change it.

He immediately called over his own detectives and told them about Li Yan's decision.

All the Qinghe County constables and runners were shocked and had to go and convey the order.

At this time, Situ Ming also heard the order issued by Li Yan. He couldn't help showing a look of surprise, then snorted coldly and said:

"This county magistrate Li Yan was originally a arrogant person, but I didn't expect that he has become even more arrogant now. He is simply insane! I want to see how this Li Yan can capture the White Lotus Saint in the White Lotus Sect's army!"

Although the county magistrate Li Yan was a mysterious person, he was much worse than the Thousand Eyes Sect Leader Li Huowang. Moreover, it was a turbulent time and Situ Ming no longer had the same enthusiasm for searching for the mysterious person, so he did not stop Li Yan's actions.

After all, the entire Qinghe County was now surrounded by 200,000 White Lotus Sect soldiers. Even if he wanted to take his fortune-tellers away, he needed someone to divert the attention of the White Lotus Saint. Otherwise, he, the eldest brother of the Fate Palace, would be a big piece of fat meat in the eyes of the White Lotus Sect.

Then he gave orders to his attendants, asking them to invite Niu Ma over.

"Brother Niu Ma, the White Lotus Sect is powerful, and things in Qinghe County are hopeless. I am going to leave Qinghe County and return to the capital to seek reinforcements. Brother Niu Ma, please come with me, so that you can take care of us along the way." Situ Ming looked at Niu Ma with a sincere look.

After all, the other party was his savior, so he certainly couldn't just abandon him like that.

Moreover, he has discovered that Niu Ma himself is a loyal and straightforward person. This kind of person is the easiest to get along with. As long as you treat him with sincerity, the other party will really open up to him and become his loyal warrior!
Unexpectedly, Niu Ma frowned, shook his head slightly, clasped his fists and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Siming, but I have already promised Lord Li that I will follow him to lead the troops out of the city to fight a heavy battle. You should wait until I come back before talking about it."

Hearing Niu Ma's words, Situ Ming couldn't help but get anxious and advised:

"Li Yan is a madman, and you are a fool. How many people in Qinghe County dare to follow you to charge into the battle? Either way, you are courting death! Once you are trapped in the White Lotus Sect's army, I can't protect you!"

However, he did not expect that Niu Ma still had a solemn expression. He just bowed to him and turned to walk towards the county magistrate Li Yan, obviously completely rejecting Situ Ming's good intention to take him away from Qinghe County.

Situ Ming's face instantly turned gloomy. Although the other party was his savior, he was really ungrateful and unappreciative.

The fortune teller at the side asked cautiously:
"Shao Siming, are we still leaving?"

Situ Ming came straight to the city wall, sat on a throne with a big horse and golden sword, looked at the White Lotus Army outside and said:

"Since these fools want to die, I will watch how they are devoured by the White Lotus monster until nothing is left."

If there is a chance to rescue Niu Ma, then save him. If there is really no chance, then we can only go back and burn more incense for him.

When Li Yan and Niu Ma die, I can help them submit a memorial to the court and ask for some rewards and a generous burial, which will not be in vain for Niu Ma's life-saving grace.

At the same time, the order of County Magistrate Li Yan had spread throughout the defense zone on the city wall.

After hearing this order, whether it was the elite soldiers from the county town or the soldiers from Qinghe County, they all had only one feeling:
Lord Li has lived enough!

Being lucky and being able to fight are two different things.

Looking at the fanaticism of the 200,000 White Lotus soldiers below, there was a virtual lotus on each of their heads, which was so terrifying that it seemed as if it was about to bloom. The few thousand people in Qinghe County could barely defend the city, but they were not enough to fill the gaps in the enemy's teeth in a field battle.

I don't know what the county magistrate, Lord Li, is thinking. Isn't this obviously abandoning his own advantages and competing with the White Lotus Sect?
Those soldiers who were born and raised in Qinghe County were fine, but the soldiers and generals from the county town were all in an uproar, thinking that Lord Li must be crazy.

Naturally, no one would obey such a suicidal order, not to mention that the order conveyed by Lord Li was that those who wanted to go could go, and those who did not want to go could stay in the city.

Even if Lord Li died in battle outside the city, Qinghe County would inevitably be breached, and they would not be able to escape the disaster. It would be better than just following him and dying in vain.

It's good to live one more hour.

In the end, out of the thousands of soldiers in Qinghe County, only a few responded to Li Yan.

"Whoa————" Li Yan reined in his horse at the north gate, and saw that there were only more than twenty people lined up sparsely at the gate.

Except for some brave-looking county soldiers, most of them were familiar faces from Qinghe County.

The brothers from Yizhuang were also among them, and they accounted for the majority.

Seeing Li Yan and Niu Ma riding their horses, Zhao Qingshan couldn't help but said with a bitter face:
"Brother Li, what are you doing? You've killed all our brothers!"

They also learned the news that Li Yan was preparing to lead his troops to charge into the battlefield. They were all horrified and realized that this was simply a suicide mission.

But they themselves knew that they, who came from the charity house, were in the same boat with Li Yan. If they suffered together, they would suffer together, and if they prospered together, they would prosper together. What's more, there was emotional connection between them. Li Yan had saved their lives countless times.

After a slight hesitation, several people came.

Monkey Seven scratched the back of his head, sighed and said:

"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, after following Brother Li, I can eat and drink well. I have enjoyed all the happiness I have never enjoyed in this life. Even if I am killed by the White Lotus Sect, so what? You are still a man."

Gao Zhiqiang said sullenly:

"I have given all the silver to my father and asked him to bury it."

Hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but laugh or cry.

These brothers who came from Yizhuang actually thought that he was doomed to die.

However, even though they knew they would die, they still came to accompany me into the battle. This kind of friendship is even more rare.

He turned to look at the other soldiers and asked:
"Why are you here again?"

Several Qinghe County constables and extermination officers laughed and said:

"Lord Li is a man blessed by heaven. He will definitely turn danger into safety. We are just following him to pick up some merits."

If he could charge into the formation of 200,000 White Lotus soldiers at this moment and come back alive, it would surely be a tremendous achievement.

Those dozens of brave county soldiers all had their own situations. Some of them wanted to seek revenge because their relatives were killed by the White Lotus Sect, some of them believed in the legend about Li Yan, some of them simply wanted to go out and kill people, and so on.

Li Yan didn't waste any words and ordered his men to bring the war horses. He shouted:

"Get on the horse, open the door, and charge!"

The gate of Qinghe County slowly opened!
