Volume 1 Chapter 166 War
Chapter 166 War
Zhang Pa asked for two sets of hooded helmets, and wrapped himself and Zhang Tianfang from head to toe, leaving only his eyes to see the road. He also refined a scabbard for the ghost knife and tied it to his waist like an ordinary sword. The two of them became ordinary generals and quickly rushed to the northern border.
Originally, the war between the two countries had nothing to do with cultivators, but this time the situation was different. The barbarians actually had sorcerers participating in the war. To prevent any accidents, Zhang Pa and Song Yunyi hurried back. After discussing with Song Quan, they decided to go to the front line to see the situation before making a decision. He wanted to understand why sorcerers participated in the war of ordinary people.
There is a pass in the north of Song State, known as Baili Niangzi Pass. Forty miles outside the pass is the border between Song and Man. At this moment, there are 700,000 barbarian troops stationed under Niangzi Pass, facing the Song army guarding the city on the pass. There are many cultivators in the army of both sides, most of whom are low-level foundation-building cultivators.
The 700,000 troops set up camp and divided the front and rear army formations across the front of Baili Niangzi Pass. At this moment, in front of Niangzi Pass, the barbarians lined up a hundred thousand troops, and in front of the formation, there were more than a hundred sorcerers and monks fighting with their magic weapons. The sorcerers had a large number of people and great strength, and soon they drove the monks back to the city. There was a protective formation outside the city wall, and the sorcerers chased outside the formation and stopped, and did not dare to enter the city.
Zhang Pa saw these when the two came, because he had seen the map, and sighed: "Being bullied at home." Zhang Tianfang was afraid that the chaos was not big enough, so he asked: "Do you want to fight?"
The sorcerers had the upper hand, and the barbarian generals ordered an attack. A team of 10,000 people pushed six cannons to the bottom of the city wall, intending to bombard the protective formation. The sorcerers lined up next to the cannons to guard.
War cannon? They actually used war cannons to attack the city. Zhang Pa had never seen this thing, but he had heard of it. War cannons are famous in the East Continent. They use spirit stones instead of gunpowder to compress and condense spiritual power, and they are extremely powerful after release. However, because they are heavy and expensive, few people use them.
At this time, the war cannon was released, and the spiritual power surged silently, violently hitting the protective array. After the collision, a huge explosion sounded, causing the protective array to shake and burst. It was estimated that if a few more shots were fired, the protective array would be destroyed. Zhang Pa didn't want to participate in this kind of worldly fight, but he couldn't bear to see innocent soldiers die, so he said: "Kill the sorcerer and destroy the war cannon and leave." He led the charge to the barbarian army camp.
The two men, wearing Song army armor, went straight to the war cannon, confusing many people for a while. The barbarian army general was about to send someone to deal with them, but someone from the rear of the army quickly ran to report the military situation. The barbarian army general changed color when he heard this, and made another gesture. The sorcerers in front of the formation all retreated back to the army, and the 10,000-man team slowly formed a formation to protect the six war cannons.
Zhang Pa looked strange, what was going on, were they not going to fight? He and Zhang Tianfang stood in a daze in the battle formation of the two armies. The barbarian army looked neat and orderly, and there was no sign of trouble. The search with divine sense did not reveal anything, but it was discovered that the strength of the two sides was very different. There were more than a thousand sorcerers in the barbarian army, while there were only more than three hundred cultivators in the Song army. It was speculated that they should be disciples of the Wuliang Sect. It seemed that their strength was average, much worse than that of Tianlei Mountain.
This calm lasted for a long time, and finally chaos came. Behind the barbarian army was their camp, and news kept coming from the camp. With Zhang Pa's cultivation, he could faintly hear shouts and fights.
After a while, a golden light suddenly flashed in the distance, accompanied by chaos. Zhang Pa and Zhang Tianzhang were surprised by such a situation on the battlefield, but they were willing to cooperate and concentrate on watching the excitement.
After more than half an hour, the golden light gradually grew larger and passed through the camp. When they got closer, they found that the golden light turned out to be a golden Buddha. The Buddha was surrounded by soldiers, brandishing swords and guns to attack the golden Buddha. The golden Buddha was not blocked and continued to move slowly towards this side. , As the golden Buddha got closer, the commotion became greater. This is fun. The two of them watched carefully to see what was happening.
The Golden Buddha was tall and majestic, sitting cross-legged and twisting flowers. In the golden light, many ordinary people followed the Buddha and walked towards Niangzi Pass. Among the people was a big monk, and the Golden Buddha was his magic weapon for protection.
The Buddha finally walked through the camp and rushed into the barbarian army formation. The formation was disturbed, and the soldiers used swords and guns to stop the Buddha, but just like before, countless attacks were ineffective in front of the Buddha, and they couldn't cut it at all. The barbarian generals gave orders again, and the sorcerers also cast magic weapons to hit the Buddha, but they still couldn't cause any damage. In this constant attack and blocking, the Buddha slowly approached Niangzi Pass.
The closer you get, the clearer you can see. Nearly a thousand people under the protection of the Golden Buddha, most of them are in tattered clothes and pale. Zhang Tianfang asked curiously, "It's strong enough. Do you think the ghost knife can chop it?" Zhang Pa was also curious, but he was curious about the origins of these people and the magical Buddha. He didn't expect Zhang Tianfang to ask this, and angrily scolded, "Are you a pig?"
The Golden Buddha protected the people and moved slowly. It took half an hour before it got out of the barbarian army, and it attracted countless attacks. In this ineffective attack, the barbarian general's face became ugly, and he raised his right hand to make a gesture. The soldiers received the order to stop the attack and lined up to leave. The sorcerer retreated and was on guard. A soldier blew a flute.
The flute was sharp and high-pitched. As the flute sounded, a gray middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the battlefield. The gray-clothed man saw the Buddha, raised his hand and flicked out a finger. A stream of light suddenly hit the Buddha, but the Buddha did not react. The gray-clothed man was slightly surprised, and drew out a silver long sword, shouting: "Stab." The long sword stabbed into the golden Buddha, and could not go any further.
The gray-clothed man sneered: "Let's see how tough you are." He put away the long sword, clenched his fists, chanted a spell, raised his fists and smashed the golden Buddha. As he swung his fists back and forth, two huge fists appeared in the air and smashed at the Buddha, bang bang bang, punching non-stop.
The Buddha was fine at first, but the two fists kept hitting it. After an hour, the golden light of the Buddha began to waver and dissipate, but it had not yet reached Niangzi Pass. At this time, only someone could be heard chanting Buddha's name: "Do you want to kill innocent people?"
"It's up to me whether to kill or not, don't play tricks on me." The gray-clothed man spoke while swinging his fist. The more he hit, the more powerful it became. The golden Buddha was damaged and about to break. The people under the protection of the golden Buddha panicked and began to scream and chaos. The big monk in the crowd said again: "God has the virtue of loving life, please be gentle." The gray-clothed man smiled and said: "It's not too late to kill you."
The big monk was not annoyed by his words, but just looked at the people under the protection of the golden Buddha with a worried face, and then said: "I'll kill them for you, let them go."
"You want to survive after breaking into my military camp? What a joke!" The barbarian general interrupted loudly.
The big monk knew that it was difficult to convince them, so he stopped persuading them, chanting Buddha's name in his mouth. The golden Buddha was inspired by the Dharma, and the light became brighter and brighter, and slowly stabilized.
He is overdrawing his life! Zhang Pa saw the key point at a glance. The big monk should be a Buddhist who is willing to risk his life to protect the lives of the people. He said to Zhang Tianfang: "Kill the gray-clothed man."
Why are you fighting if he doesn't fight back? Zhang Tianfang has long been dissatisfied with him. The ghost knife in his hand flew out and chopped at the gray-clothed man. The gray-clothed man has a high level of cultivation. Sensing the danger, he raised his hands and a round iron ball the size of his head appeared in front of him to block the ghost knife. With a snap, the iron ball broke into countless pieces and the ghost knife bounced back.
