Chapter 114 Fighting to destroy the temple, fighting with life
Wang Yan and Hu Weizong went to the foot of the mountain first, and saw two Qing soldiers in black clothes sitting with their backs against a big tree in the forest. arrival.

Wang Yanyu secretly observed that there were 27 horses beside the two Qing troops, and the Qing troops who besieged King Tang must also be 27 people.

In August, it was extremely hot in the south of the Yangtze River. The northern captives who came from the bitter cold in the north were obviously very uncomfortable with such an environment. The heat in their hearts forced them to be extremely bored. Hu Weizong picked up the knife and touched it, but he didn't realize it.

The two Qing soldiers were complaining about the damn weather, but Wang Yantong and Hu Weizong suddenly jumped up, the light of the sword flashed, and the faces of the two Qing soldiers were already decapitated.

Killed the Qing army who was taking care of the flatterers at the foot of the mountain, but Wang Yantong and Hu Weizong did not rush up the mountain immediately.

There were 27 Qing troops, two of whom were killed, and another 25 people besieged Tang Wang and his party on the mountain. Although Hu Weizong was highly skilled in martial arts, he could not fight against 25 Qing troops. With Wang Yan's combat power, he could beat two or three It's really lucky for Manchuria.

For a while, Wang Yan had to wait at the foot of the mountain, but not long after, a thick smoke suddenly rose from the temple on the top of the mountain, which immediately changed Wang Yan's face. It seemed that the Qing army could not capture the temple, so they wanted to set it on fire After Tang Wang and his party died, he immediately became anxious.

"Weizong can't wait any longer!"

Wang Yan was worried that King Tang would be killed, so he raised his saber and was about to rush up the mountain, but at this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from a distance, which made him happy immediately, and stopped moving.

Five young masters finally arrived at the critical moment. They dismounted from their horses, performed a Buddhist ceremony, and said to Wang Yan, "My little monk asked Su benefactor to take three female benefactors into the forest to take refuge, and then immediately came to meet Hou Ye. I hope that the opportunity to rescue His Highness will not be delayed."

"Little master is very considerate!" Wang Yan first thanked him, and then said anxiously: "The situation is urgent, I will go up the mountain as soon as possible, and rescue His Highness Tang Wang!"

Now the five young masters took down the eyebrow-aligning sticks from their horses, followed Wang Yan and Hu Weizong, and climbed up the mountain.

The mountain road is rugged, and every step of Wang Yan is very difficult, but Hu Weizong and several young masters are walking on the ground, which makes Wang Yan who is slowly falling behind very surprised.

On the top of the mountain, 25 Qing soldiers continued to add firewood to the burning courtyard wall, and shouted to the ruined temple from time to time, asking everyone in the temple to come out and surrender. Facing the changes at the bottom of the mountain and the six Wang Yan who had already climbed to the top of the mountain, they were shocked. I don't know.

Azig sent more than a dozen cavalry to chase and kill King Tang, but they were hit by one of them. It was really lucky. As long as they complete the task at hand, capture or kill King Tang alive, they will all get great rewards when they go back. It's no longer a matter of getting a reward, getting promoted and getting rich.

When these Qing soldiers were looking forward to their own bright future, Wang Yan and his party suddenly rushed out. The 25 Qing soldiers were caught off guard and under a sneak attack. Six of them were knocked down in an instant, and two were killed and four were injured immediately. , reminding them that there are always so many hardships and disappointments in life.

"Damn it!" Facing the six people who appeared suddenly, the Qing Bing Xiaoxiao suddenly exclaimed, "Kill them!" But before he finished speaking, Hu Weizong had already swung his knife and posted it, which made the Xiaoxiao rush to fight. , flustered.

The Qing army outside the temple was caught off guard by Wang Yan's six men who suddenly shot out, but among these Qing troops, except for the surrendered Han army who led the way, the others were all Manchurians. They followed their parents' generation to fish, hunt and kill Seeing blood is a habit, and later he followed the chieftain to kill everywhere. He has experienced hundreds of battles, and he is fierce and vicious, and his combat power is very strong.

Although Wang Yan's six men succeeded in one attack, the Qing army had a large number of people after all. When they discovered that there were only six Ming men in the raid, they gradually stabilized their formation from the initial panic, and used the method of battle formation coordination , not to lose the wind in the battle.

Inside the ruined temple, Tang Wang and his party were in despair when Wang Yan’s shout suddenly came from outside, which immediately made everyone stunned, but they couldn’t believe it, “Didn’t Wang Shiheng lead the soldiers and civilians along the coast? ? How did it appear here?"

Zuo Maodi had a lot of contacts with Wang Yan, and knowing his voice, he couldn't help weeping for a while, saying to Tang Wang: "Your Highness, you are really loyal and brave! God bless Ming Dynasty!"

Zheng Sen was guarding the gate of the temple. At this time, he also saw through the crack of the door that several people were fighting with the Qing army. One of them was a man with a knife. , then formed a stick formation, guarding another young man with a knife in the middle, and fought against more than a dozen Qing troops without losing the wind.

"Your Highness, it's really a rescuer!" Zheng Sen didn't know Wang Yan, but he was very skilled in martial arts. He could see that the battle outside was fierce with knives and merciless sticks.

When Tang Wang heard this, his face couldn't help flushing. He was looking for death in despair. He didn't want to turn around.

The ministers in the dilapidated temple who were lying on the ground and crying bitterly stood up one after another, filled with the excitement of being saved, "Your Highness is destined to return, and I have a general to protect me!"

At this time, the fire had spread to the temple, and the ruined temple could no longer stay. The fire in Tang Wang's heart was like a rising flame, which made him regain his belief in survival.

For a moment, all the officials in the temple saw the resolute look on his face, sweeping away the previous despair.

"At the time of life and death, my lords!"

Tang Wang suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist, held the sword in his hand, walked slowly to the temple gate, turned around and looked around at the ministers, all the ministers saw this, listened to his words, bowed in unison, and responded solemnly: "The minister is here! "

"Marquis Zhongyong has come outside the temple, all the ministers and this king will work together to kill the captives!"

Tang Wang waved his sword and pointed at the door, and shouted decisively.

"噗~噗~" There was a sound of drawing a sword out of its sheath in the temple, and all the officials held their swords in their hands, and their faces were filled with fear, "I am willing to fight to the death with Your Highness!"

The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the sternness knows the honest ministers. The king of Tang looked around these resolute old civil servants, his eyes couldn't help being a little moist, and the waves in his chest turned into an urgent cry: "Kill the captives!"

Immediately, Zheng Sen kicked to the burning temple gate, raised his sword and charged into the battle group. Behind him, His Royal Highness the King of Tang, together with many ministers, rushed out, shouting, "Kill the prisoner!"

In the battle group, Wang Yan saw that most of them were old civil servants who were over half a century old, Zuo Maodi, Minister of Rites of the imperial court, Huang Daozhou, Minister of Rites, Huang Mingjun, deputy censor of Youqin Capital, Su Guansheng, head of the household department, and other ministers, could not help but burst into tears , "The country is in danger, so that His Royal Highness, the old ministers of the cabinet, personally carry the long sword, and fight each other with their lives!"

Thanks to Xiaobai for being cute, Tang Doudou 123, Danshui Ranger for their rewards!
