Chapter 240 Capture of Tongguan
"Amitabha, goodness, goodness. Are the donors passing by?"

Guo Wei said: "Yes, our family traveled until it was too late to see the sky and wanted to stay overnight. My youngest son was not in good health and passed out. I don't know if it's inconvenient for Master."

The abbot took a closer look, and found that the person who passed out turned out to be a monk, and he was wearing a brocade cassock. He saw that his breathing, breathing, breathing, and martial arts were extraordinary, and he was only in his teens and less than [-] years old.

"Hey, this must be the eminent monk Zongxin." The old abbot said: "Don't look at our remote location, there are actually several small villages under the mountain, and there is a small town not far away. Lao Na's news Although he is not well-informed, he should not be mistaken, in the whole world, the only monk who is supported by two girls and is still wearing a brocade cassock is Master Zong Xin."

Guo Wei really didn't expect that this old monk has good eyesight despite his age.

The old monk looked at Guo Wei again, and thought about it carefully: "Then this is Mr. Guo Wei, the Generalissimo of the World's Army and Horses. Lao Na knows that you don't want to reveal your identities, but there is nothing to hide here. Even if Lao Na If you want to report to the official, you have to walk a few days on the mountain road, and by the time this old bone finds the Yamen, you probably have left the vicinity long ago."

"Master Huiyan, this is Guo Wei. The person next to me is indeed Master Zongxin. Because Liu Chengyou wanted to take my life, Master Zongxin cast a spell to let us fly away from Fengfeng. When we landed here, our magic power was exhausted, so we passed out. .”

The old monk thought for a long time, and then asked: "Again, is it because I am old that my ears have problems? Did you fly here?"

"Exactly."

"Hey~ the master's actions are unpredictable, I didn't expect Master Zongxin to be able to fly..." The old monk said: "In this case, don't ask me too much. If you invite me, I will immediately order my disciples to prepare the best wing. "

The old monk is very polite, because both Zong Xin and Guo Wei are well-known contemporary heroes, and Zong Xin is a Buddhist monk who has received eminent monks.

There was nothing good in the temple, so they ate some vegetarian food and drank some hot tea, and the group rested in their own rooms.Dugu Xingyue and Yaoyao didn't do anything in the Buddhist Pure Land, mainly because Zong Xin was unconscious, otherwise they wouldn't care if it was a temple or not.

The group stayed in the temple, and Guo Wei gave the abbot some silver taels in advance. After all, the temple is not big, and the monks' life is not easy. So many people eat and drink here for free, even if the Buddhists are big, Guo Wei himself can't bear it.

Zong Xin was in a coma for two days and two nights. Due to the consumption of too much zhenqi, Zong Xin's body seemed to be hollowed out, and he was so weak that he couldn't even raise his hands.Not to mention Zong Xin, not even Guo Wei can guarantee that he can persist until dusk. Zong Xin's potential is bottomless, and he definitely has the qualities to be a top master.

The reason why Guo Wei didn't leave in a hurry was because he himself was injured.Cao Yun's Bodhi skill is not weak, because the last palm "Tathagata destroys the world" has the power of destroying the world and recreating it. At that time, Guo Wei felt that the meridians in his whole body were about to burst. A palm may not be able to hold it down.

After Zong Xin woke up, there were many people around him, they were all waiting for Zong Xin to wake up.Only Zong Xin can let them escape to Tongguan safely.

According to the old abbot, portraits of Zong Xin and Guo Wei have been distributed in all small towns. As long as you see these two people, you will be rewarded as long as you report the letter, regardless of life or death.

Tongguan
At night, the gate of Tongguan City suddenly opened, and Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan led troops to break through, vowing to demolish these fortresses.If a fortress is built outside the city gate, it will be extremely beneficial in both offense and defense.In order to prevent this from happening, Li Shouzhen had to forcibly demolish these fortresses.

What's more, Li Shouzhen and his party had nothing to do in Tongguan. The soldiers watched these fortresses being built day by day, and their hearts were getting more and more stressed.He also took this opportunity to let the soldiers vent their anger, but Li Shouzhen knew that Guo Wei would definitely send a large army to protect these forts, especially before the completion of the project, he had to send more people.

Although there was an army guarding him, Li Shouzhen had to go.Moreover, there are still more than 1 horses in Tongguan, and it is not inevitable to face Guo Wei with 2 horses.If they just tear down the fort and escape, there won't be too much loss.

Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan were already on the verge of collapse, they knew they hadn't seized the opportunity.Because of these fortresses, when Guo Wei left Tongguan to attack Kaifeng, Li Shouzhen led his troops to rush out of Tongguan to break the baby and was ambushed by Chai Rong. If Zhao Siwan hadn't led his troops to rescue him, Li Shouzhen would have died in Chai Rong's hands.

But that was the best opportunity for Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan.But the news inside Tongguan was closed, and they later found out that Guo Wei was not outside Tongguan, and instead ran to attack Kaifeng.By the time they gathered their troops and prepared to attack again, Guo Wei had already led his troops back to Tongguan.

When Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan were discussing, they realized that Zong Xin had said the same thing to them. After Yelu Deguang's spring plowing, he would definitely send his army south, and that would be a good time to leave Tongguan.Li Shouzhen actually calculated the time well, but Yelu Deguang unexpectedly sent his army south before the spring plowing. The whole battle started and ended early, which made Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan miss the opportunity, otherwise they would not be trapped in Tongguan.

Li Shouzhen, who missed the opportunity, could only stick to Tongguan, and would never leave the city to surrender.Temporarily confronting Kuowei with two more soldiers, Fengxiang and Wang Jingchong are providing food and grass to Tongguan together. Their lives are not hindered for the time being, but Li Shouzhen doesn't know how long they can last.

Because the fortress outside the city is getting bigger and bigger, the people in the city are also getting more and more worried.They must destroy these fortresses to stabilize the morale of the army.If the morale of the army is uncertain, there may be surrenders at any time.

Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan are both first-class masters, and they always run at the forefront when leading troops out of Tongguan.One with a long sword and the other with a spear, the two ordered five thousand elite soldiers, two thousand of them resisted the enemy, and the other three thousand were responsible for completely demolishing the fortress outside the city.

'Ming~~'

There was a sound of horns in the camp, and immediately after that, the men and horses who had been ambushing rushed out immediately.This is also within Li Shouzhen's expectations, and this is not the first time, Guo Wei must have planted heavy troops, and the party only needs to forcibly demolish the fort and return to Tongguan immediately. Although there will be some casualties along the way, as long as the fort is destroyed, Tongguan can go back For a few more months.

Only a small part of Chai Rong's troops charged towards Li Shouzhen and his party, while the large army directly attacked the city.Li Shouzhen didn't notice it at first, but felt that there were not many soldiers and horses deployed this time, and there was no pressure.

Chai Rong rushed forward under the pressure, and went directly to the bottom of the city to set up a ladder for the soldiers to climb up the tower.Soon there was a group of soldiers on the crenel.In order to act in secret, Li Shouzhen deliberately kept everyone quiet.As a result, it became so quiet that no one even noticed that Chai Rong's men attacked the Tongguan crenel.

When Li Shouzhen realized it was too late, Chai Rong's troops had already broken through the gate of Tongguan, and a large number of people directly entered Tongguan.The gate of Tongguan was opened, and Chai Rong's soldiers rushed into Tongguan. First they gathered all the prisoners, and then led a group of troops out of the city to meet Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan.

Originally, the difference in troop strength was not too big, and Li Shouzhen was the defender of the city, but he never expected that the defeat would be so casual, and the casualties on both sides were not large. Because Li Shouzhen's military skills were slightly inferior, Chai Rong directly captured Tongguan.

Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan originally thought that they had the chance to win, but they suddenly lost Tongguan, and there was only such a small number of people around them.

Chai Rong shouted: "Will the surrender be killed?"

Immediately afterwards, the large troops also shouted: "The surrender will not be killed."

After a few days, the soldiers on Li Shouzhen's side almost gave up resistance, and only the closest people escorted Li Shouzhen to break through.

Suddenly, a huge body appeared in the crowd. Originally, Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan seemed to be able to escape smoothly under guard for a long time, but this huge body was hidden among the soldiers and launched a surprise attack on the two of them. On guard, they were all beaten to the ground.

After receiving this heavy blow, the two of them didn't even see who made the shot.They just didn't see it, but they knew very well in their hearts that there was only one person with such a figure whose martial arts were so high in the world, and that was Lei Hong.

Li Shouzhen shouted loudly: "Brother, since you're here, show up."

Lei Hong suddenly came out from the army, still dressed in a rich uniform, rubbing two golden balls in his hand.The blow just now had already made Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan lose the idea of ​​escaping, and Lei Hong and the two present were sure to die.It's just that Li Shouzhen never imagined that it was not Guo Wei who killed him in the end, but Lei Hong, his elder brother.

"Brother, I have never counted on you to send charcoal in the snow. But you can't make things worse." Li Shouzhen gritted her teeth and said, "My brother treated you well in the past, why did you sneak attack at this time?"

Lei Hong said: "I know in my heart why I want to kill you. I will take over all your forces. By the way, I have also taken over Zhao Siwan's remaining tens of thousands of troops. I will kill you now just to silence you, because what someone says must be certain To become a reality, if you die in the same year, the same month, and the same day, none of you will escape today.”

Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan immediately understood that the reason why Lei Hong wanted to kill him was to silence his words.Lei Hong can't let these two people who know the secret of Master Zong Xin live. If these two people announce to everyone that Zong Xin is Lei Hong's third son Lei Tianyong, it will definitely cause Zong Xin a lot of trouble.To prevent this from happening, they must die.

Originally, Zhao Siwan didn't know about this matter, but after meeting Li Shouzhen, Li Shouzhen told him about it.After learning about this incident, Zhao Siwan realized that the most unprovoked person in the world today is Zong Xin, who is not only a contemporary eminent monk, but also the most beloved son of Ye Tianzi Lei Hong, who is very likely to inherit the throne of King Kaiqi in the future.
