"Brother Tang, why don't you send troops to help the Lian Sect, but only send people to snatch the saint girl of the Lian Sect? Is it because the saint girl is so beautiful?" Liu Rushi looked cute and naive. She always called Tang Tong Brother Tang. Even after becoming Tang Tong's concubine, she did not change this name. She was only a few years older than Er, but Er called Tang Tong uncle. She used to be happy that she was a generation older than Er, but Er always called her sister and refused to call her aunt.
While asking Tang Tong questions, Liu Rushi naturally squeezed next to Tang Tong. Dayuer and Tang Tong both saw her jealous expression. Dayuer smiled, moved one of Tang Tong's legs, making the other free, and then winked at Liu Rushi mischievously. Liu Rushi's face turned slightly red. After a little hesitation, she sat on Tang Tong's other leg, then raised her little face and smiled at Dayuer as if in protest.
"The secret cult of the Lotus Sect, to a certain extent, is extremely harmful to a country. Those who control this secret cult are often ambitious people. Whether it is a time of chaos or peace and prosperity, such people will be restless and disrupt the normal order of the country, causing damage to the country and the people. But the current leader of the Lotus Sect, Xu Hongfei, is an ambitious person. His power is not yet strong enough and can still be controlled, but there will always be a certain degree of danger. Therefore, this time, taking advantage of the government's crackdown on the Lotus Sect, I plan to replace the Lotus Sect with a more obedient person."
Tang Tong put his arms around Liu Rushi and Dayu'er's waists, paused for a moment, and then said, "Xu Qinglian is the daughter of the former leader of the Lotus Sect. Now, as the Saint of the Lotus Sect, she has enough influence in the Lotus Sect. As long as Xu Hongfei dies, the Lotus Sect can be controlled by Xu Qinglian. In addition, Xu Qinglian is a woman. Even if she has great ambitions, it is impossible for her to realize such ambitions in this land. Finally, after the Lotus Sect suffered a heavy blow this time, it is just right for us to control the Lotus Sect in our own hands to prevent it from opposing us one day."
In Tang Tong's mind, the secret cult of the Lotus Sect is actually no different in essence from the evil sects in the later world. They are all destabilizing factors that disrupt the country and society, but it is difficult to eradicate them. So Tang Tong has an idea in his mind, which is to divert this disaster somewhere else. It is better to harm others than to harm himself.
While Tang Tong and Liu Rushi were discussing the Lian Sect, Xu Hongfei and Xu Qinglian were finally getting married. Xu Hongfei's face was glowing with excitement as he and Xu Qinglian walked towards the hall, holding Hong Ling. The hall was also crowded with people who came to congratulate their leader and the saint on their wedding.
Looking at the wide-open gates of Laizhou City, Zhou Linfeng let out a light breath, his cold eyes revealing an excited murderous aura. This time, Hong Chengchou, who valued him, asked Zhou Linfeng to be the vanguard, leading a thousand men disguised as ordinary people, with the goal of seizing the gates of Laizhou City. The current situation was better than expected. The Yilian believers seemed to have never thought that they would come from the sea, so the city gates were almost undefended.
Zhou Linfeng led a dozen of his men with high martial arts skills and headed towards the city gate first. They carried weapons hidden among the firewood and sundries on their shoulders. The dozen or so Yilian believers guarding the city gate had no idea that a disaster was about to happen.
In the Zhou Palace in Laizhou City, the emcee who was presiding over Xu Hongfei's wedding was about to start the ceremony when
Gunshots were heard, and everyone in the lobby was shocked when they heard the gunshots. Then more and more gunshots were heard. At this time, even the dumbest person would realize that something was wrong, and the lobby suddenly became chaotic.
When Xu Hongfei heard the gunshot, he was startled at first, then he tore off the big red flower on his chest and shouted, "Don't panic, what could happen? This place is far away from the soldiers. There is no way those soldiers can break through our front camp and run here."
Xu Hongfei is a scheming man, but he is incompetent in military affairs. If it were not for Tang Tong's strong support, the uprising of the Lian Sect would never have been successful. However, Xu Hongfei himself could not see this. He only thought that the Lian Sect had grown stronger under his wise leadership. In the past two days, the officers and soldiers were defeated by the Lian Sect, which made Xu Hongfei forget himself.
At the city gate, Zhou Linfeng and a dozen of his men entered the city gate. The dozen or so Yilian believers came forward for a routine inspection, but Zhou Linfeng shouted, and the dozen or so fighters who came with him immediately took out their weapons and chopped at the dozen or so Yilian believers. The dozen or so Yilian believers were just ordinary people, and they were no match for Zhou Linfeng and his men. They were all killed in a few breaths. The other thousand of Zhou Linfeng's men who were approaching the Laizhou city gate heard the signal from Zhou Linfeng, drew their weapons one by one, and rushed towards the city gate.
The other soldiers of the Lian Sect standing on the city wall only reacted at this time. Those with muskets in their hands quickly fired at the officers and soldiers who were rushing towards them, but these people were too close. Although dozens of people were killed or injured, the others had already swarmed into the city. Hong Chengchou, who was lying in ambush in the distance, was overjoyed to see Zhou Linfeng and his men seize the city gate, and ordered the 10,000 Guanning cavalry who had arrived this time to mount their horses and rush towards Laizhou City.
A distance of four miles is not considered long for cavalry. For this surprise attack, Hong Chengchou invested a lot of money to transport both men and horses from the sea. If there were too few ships, Hong Chengchou would have to transport all 20,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry under his command. However, there were only 20,000 defenders in Laizhou City. With the city gate captured, 10,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry would be more than enough.
After the Guanning cavalry behind rushed to the city gate, Zhou Linfeng led his men to rush into the city. His thousand men were not only the best fighters selected from tens of thousands of rural militias, but also each of them was equipped with a musket, and their combat effectiveness in long-range and close-range attacks was not weak.
Xu Hongfei didn't care about getting married at this time. He gathered his personal guards and rushed out of Prince Zhou's Palace. At this time, the streets were in chaos because of the gunshots. The leaders of various Lian Sects were busy recruiting their soldiers. Among them, two teams of a thousand people gathered very quickly and rushed to Xu Hongfei's side to rescue him as soon as possible.
Seeing that two teams had gathered around him, Xu Hongfei suddenly felt relieved and no longer panicked. He issued orders one by one and rushed towards the direction of the gunshots. After Zhou Linfeng entered the city, he captured several ordinary people and asked them about Xu Hongfei's Zhou Palace. However, the ordinary people in this city had also been brainwashed by the Lotus Sect and became believers of the Lotus Sect. After being captured by Zhou Linfeng, they either refused to obey or were deliberately led astray.
However, Laizhou City is not big, and Zhou Linfeng and Xu Hongfei finally met on the street. There was nothing much to say between the two sides, and they started fighting as soon as they met. The street was not wide, and not many people could engage in a head-on battle. For a while, the two sides were deadlocked on this street, and the soldiers behind both sides could only pass through the alleys to another street. In this regard, the Lian believers who were familiar with the streets and alleys of Laizhou City took advantage of the terrain and blocked the officers and soldiers coming from behind in the alleys, taking advantage of the terrain to engage in street fighting with the officers and soldiers.
However, the Guanning Iron Cavalry was the most elite army of Dali. They might not be able to defeat the Jiannu, but they were very brave when facing these soldiers composed of the Yilian believers. The 20,000 Yilian soldiers who had not received much training were no match for them. If the people in the entire Laizhou city were not all Yilian believers, these believers would have used their flesh and blood to resist the officers and soldiers regardless of life and death. This is why the 20,000 Yilian soldiers not only did not retreat, but seemed to have the upper hand in a short period of time.
While commanding his men to resist the officers and soldiers, Xu Hongfei thought for a long time but could not figure out how the officers and soldiers got here. In his opinion, the position in front of him where he was fighting against the officers and soldiers had always been in the upper hand, so why did these officers and soldiers suddenly come to Laizhou City?
Seeing that his men would find it difficult to win for the time being, Hong Chengchou felt a little anxious. This time they were deep in the inland area of the Lian Sect rebels and there would be no reinforcements in a short time. The reinforcements from the sea would take three days to arrive here, while the first batch of reinforcements from the Lian Sect rebels would arrive in just seven or eight hours. Therefore, Hong Chengchou and his men had to occupy Laizhou City and hold on to it before waiting for other officers and soldiers to come to their rescue.
Xu Qinglian heard the sounds of fighting in the distance getting louder and louder in Prince Zhou's mansion, and she knew in her heart that it was the soldiers coming to attack. Ten years ago, the young Xu Qinglian had experienced this once, and that time left an indelible scar on her heart. That time, several masters of the sect fought to the death to escort Xu Qinglian out of the encirclement of the soldiers.
The past was vivid in her mind. After that experience, Xu Qinglian lost all her relatives. Listening to the fighting sounds in the distance, Xu Qinglian's eyes were slightly filled with tears. She had paid a lot for the prosperity of the Lotus Sect. Could it be that God was going to throw the Holy Sect that had finally prospered into the abyss?
Xu Qinglian sighed softly in her heart and pulled off the red veil on her head. At this time, all the guests in the hall had run away, and the servants in the mansion were also trembling with fear to listen to the news outside the door. Xu Qinglian silently rushed out the door. Twenty female soldiers who were originally Xu Qinglian's personal guards saw her rushing out of the hall. They seemed to come to their senses, took their weapons and followed Xu Qinglian.
Since God wants the Holy Church to be destroyed, then let me stand in front of the Holy Church first. Xu Qinglian looked at the red sky and smiled faintly. The red sky and the night of killing were the same as ten days ago.
Zhang Yiheng, leading his men, stood on a small slope several miles away. Hearing the faint cries of battle from Laizhou City, he smiled gleefully. Over the past few days, Zhang Yiheng had fought extensively, rarely losing a single battle under the powerful firearms. As a result, he had gradually developed a fondness for war, and for the feeling of victory. (To be continued. For more information, please visit idianm for more chapters. Support the author!)
