Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

Chapter 172: Defend the city

The snowy field is rugged, the sky is cloudless, the cold winter sun is pouring down, the golden light is brilliant, the flag is flying, and the earth trembles faintly.

A floating black line surged from the sky, as if a series of mountains were slowly moving.

The soldiers of the royal court stared at the horizon blankly.

The surging black lines are getting closer and closer, like the waves are surging. Those lines are composed of figures with swords on horseback. They are wearing different colored armors, riding horses slowly, their steps are neat, and the momentum is calm and graceful. This kind of majestic, calm, unstoppable murderous aura, guarding the snow-white and gold-patterned banner in the middle, marched forward mightily.

After entering the battlefield, the speed of the queue suddenly became faster, and the loose teams on both sides suddenly shrank to the middle, and the sound of their hoofs was like a roar of thunder. In a moment, the momentum of the entire team became more brutal, and the formation of the team was changed in the blink of an eye. Immediately, a tall and tall monk in a monk's robe rushed out of the battle surrounded by his guards, facing the Northern Rong coalition forces, raising a dark long bow with horns, bending the bow and pulling the arrow, and a hard bow pulled into a full moon. , An arrow shot out.

The iron arrow tore the air, and the sharp howling echoed on the battlefield, with the majestic aura of shattering everything, it rushed towards the enemy camp.

With two bangs, the iron arrow pierced through a general in front of him, unabated with strength, and hit another general next to him, and the two generals fell off their horses almost at the same time.

Before everyone could react, the monk continued to draw his bow, swish a few times, and shoot out in a row. The enemy was in a commotion, called horses, and some people fell.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation over the city, and the monk's last arrow directly shot off a handsome flag in the enemy camp.

The power of these arrows, the weather is severe, the domineering and powerful, everyone present could not help but sweat and tremble with fear.

The monk rode one by one, holding a bow in one hand, reining in his horse and standing on the hillside, unbuttoning his face, revealing a pretty handsome face, looking down on the darkened Beirong coalition army under the hillside, and his deep, quiet blue eyes are as cold as snow. , Without sorrow or joy, the momentum is monstrous, the figure is majestic, like a **** descending to the world.

There was a deep silence on the battlefield.

The Northern Rong coalition forces shook, and on the head of the holy city, after a daze, the soldiers cried in the direction of the monk.

The regent is back!

The Buddha is back!

Their king is back!

It is not the puppets supported by the conspiracy of the family and Princess Chima, but the king who has the common people's heart, facing the difficulties again and again in crises, and leading them, the low-level soldiers, to fight on the battlefield!

What if Wang's biological mother is a Han Chinese?

He is still the monarch loved by the people and supported by the tribe! He is the benevolent and noble Buddha!

The generals burst into tears and blood boiled all over.

The Northern Rong coalition forces panicked for a moment, and several tribal chiefs roared at Haidu Aling: "Didn't you say that Sultan Gu is dead? Why is he still alive?!"

Haidu Aling frowned while looking in the direction of Tamaraga.

Tamara Gha is famous for all the countries, and the ancient Sudan is brave and good at war. The Buddha and the regent who have frightened all countries are the same person, and the surrounding small countries dare not easily send troops to attack the royal court. In order to borrow more troops, he hinted that the chiefs Tamaraga was dead, and the chiefs would gladly agree to borrow troops.

Never thought that Tan Moroga did not die in the chase of the family, and he would return to defend the city after losing the throne.

Haidu Aling was secretly frightened.

Wakhan Khan once told him that half of Beirong was defeated by the Tamaragarh, and the other half was defeated by the internal power struggle and the struggle between the nobles for power. There are also conflicts between the royal court and nobles. When those conflicts erupt, it is the best time to seize the holy city.

He waited for this moment, but Tamara Gha was more tenacious than he and the old Khan expected.

No wonder Wahhan Khan has been deeply jealous of Tamaragarh. This person may be really broad-minded, or he may just have far-reaching plans. In short, regardless of whether the holy city wins or wins, his good name will be spread all over the world. Kingdom, he doesn’t need to confess to the family anymore, he can easily regain the throne and win people’s hearts.

What if Buddha is a murderous regent? In the troubled times, who can keep the people alive is the king in the people's mind.

When everyone was shocked, Tamara Ka galloped down. The soldiers in different armors behind him followed him without hesitation, brandishing a long knife, and piercing directly into the middle battle formation of the Northern Rong coalition forces. With an indomitable momentum, he collided with a tribal cavalry.

The cavalry relied on the superiority of the tall horse to launch a charge. They did not rush, and the three formed a small team. The two entangled the cavalry, and one wielded a knife. He cut the horse's legs, handed the knife down, and the horse neighed the soldiers on the horseback. Fell off his horse.

In an instant, the two teams were strangling together, each of the Buddha's team was not afraid of death, biting the enemy's throat like a beast, no matter how hard the enemy struggled, they couldn't get rid of them.

The chiefs were terrified, stopped their offensive on the holy city, and ordered the two-winged cavalry to retreat.

"Sultan has an extraordinary accomplishment, and he can kill the enemy alone! He must have come back with reinforcements!"

Suddenly people turned their backs on their horses, and several tribal chiefs turned around and retreated.

Haidu Aling clenched the reins, furious, looked around, calmly thinking: Tamaragarh was chased by the family, it is impossible to gather a 100,000 coalition army in such a short time. Team!

"Don't panic!" He yelled, "Wang Ting people hate the Han people. After the Sultan is abolished, they immediately send troops to attack the Western Army. The Wei Dynasty and the Royal Court go to war. The Western Army is overwhelmed. Where can the Sultan go to borrow troops?"

"Sultan Gu directly led troops to disperse the coalition forces, just bluffing!

The tribal chiefs turned a deaf ear and continued to retreat.

"Children, follow me!"

Haidu Aling gritted his teeth and drew his knife, yelled to his subordinates behind him, and called forward.

This is not the first time that the coalition has refused to do so.

Ahead, the Tamaragarh monks hunted and hunted, like a cold sharp knife, with their guards continuing to approach the center of the coalition forces. The battle formation of the coalition forces was broken up, and the tribal cavalry on both sides continued to scatter on both sides, and the whole team was like being cut into pieces. In two halves.

The slush splashed all over the sky, and arrows flew.

Haidu Aling rushed forward with his subordinates, and the team of Tamaraga suddenly began to shrink in the middle, and then retreated without hesitation.

The Bei Rong troops were overjoyed and immediately chased them up.

Haidu Aling was startled, an ominous premonition struck her heart, and her palms were sweaty: Could all this be the strategy of Tamaraga? He had used this trick before setting up an ambush and hitting Wakhan Khan heavily.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the holy city. Tan Moroga suddenly fell from the sky, and the morale of the holy city's defenders was greatly boosted. At this time, attacking the holy city might fall into the trap of Tan Moroga.

The sound of killing screamed in his ears, and his subordinates clasped their fists to ask for instructions: "Prince, the formation of the left and right wing has been messed up! Which side shall we fill?"

"Retreat! Save your strength and let the tribal cavalry go up!"

He is decisive and authentic.

When the Beirong people also began to retreat, the other tribal cavalry became more panicked, and the battle formation composed of the entire coalition army was rushed away. Bi Suo, who led the Imperial Guards on the front of the city, immediately asked to open the city gate and dispatch one. The team went out to meet, and the two armies quickly merged and withdrew to the city.

The Northern Rong forces temporarily withdrew to the base camp and stopped attacking.

Thousands of people throbbed in front of the city gate, crowded with people.

The people didn't understand the blood and blood in the court, and they were muddled. After Tamaraga left, the aristocratic family began to amend the law and exploit the civilians in a more vigorous manner. Only then did they realize that the previous turmoil was probably a conspiracy of the aristocratic family, but it was too late and the Buddha was missing.

After the holy city was besieged, they lived in fear and torment all the time. The clouds over the holy city were covered with miserable winds and rains everywhere.

It was heard that Tamaraga had returned with his troops, and they brought the old and the young and rushed out of the house excitedly to greet their king.

Soon, all the people of the whole city came, men and women, old and young, poor, low and rich, kneeling on both sides of the long street, crying with excitement.

"Wang, we shouldn't listen to slander! We shouldn't be deceived by those nobles!"

"We're sorry, the king!"

"The king has given us a stable life, he is a well-deserved Buddha!"

"What is the use of the edict that Princess Chima took out? We don't recognize the edict, only the king!"

They burst into tears.

The team walked past them without stopping at all.

The people raised their heads, looking up at the general surrounded by soldiers, their eyes were extremely eager, shouting, shouting, crying, and their voices converged into a wave and went straight into the sky.

"Wang! You are back!"

"You are our king!"

They were crying and trembling all over the long street, howling one after another.

Those people who, under the instigation of aristocratic families and monks, suspected that Tamaragarh was in collusion with the Gentiles, and felt that he was unworthy of being a king, ashamed and embarrassed. Note.

The team passed by them, and the snow and mud splashed by horses' hoofs fell on their faces.

The reinforcements crossed the Long Street and went to the Wang Temple.

The people lay down and kissed the place where Tamaraga's mount passed, tears streaming down their faces.

People were already kneeling on the square outside the Wangsi Temple. After a while, the generals and officials hurried over, all of them tired and bruised.

Before the Northern Rong coalition army pressed the border, the high-ranking officials and nobles in the city were busy packing their luggage, arranging carts and horses, and secretly fleeing when the night was dark and the wind was high. They couldn't bear to leave the people in the city and flee like this, thinking of the trance. When Roga was thirteen years old, he left behind the feat of defending the city. He endured fear, climbed to the top of the city, and defended the city with the soldiers.

People are in the city, they were promoted by the king himself, and they can't fall into the face of the king!

They knelt at the gate of the temple, kowtow together.

The team stopped and Tamara Gama dismounted.

On the square, the black and dense heads hung down and worshipped him.

There was no expression on Tan Moroga's face, and without even looking at them, he raised his foot into the Wang Temple.

Bi Suo was wounded all over, his armor clinging to his body in tatters, looking at his back, with a worried look on his face, holding on to his fate after dismounting, his face paled: "When did the king begin to move?"

On the battlefield, when Luo Jia saw an arrow through the enemy generals, the other soldiers rejoiced, but he had nothing but despair in his heart: Luo Jia's body could not bear the backlash of the exercises. Both the healer and the Deva Munda had warned that he could no longer Good luck! This time he forced his luck, which is equivalent to exhausting the last bit of effort, how long can he last?

Yuanjue's eyes were red: "Since yesterday..."

That day, Jinbo accidentally said that, Tamara Gha learned that after he fell asleep, there was turmoil everywhere in the royal court, Haidu Aling came back, and the holy city was in danger and decided to come back. They couldn't persuade them, so they could only turn around and walk back. On the way, they met several people who were loyal to Tamaraga and hurried back to the holy city. Last night, Tamaragarh asked Fate to take out all the medicines and ate them all in one breath-he must be able to win the battle first, frighten the coalition forces, and frighten Haidu Aling and the tribal chiefs.

This time, the Yungong Tamaraga did not change his monk robe.

"How many reinforcements are there?"

Yuanjue shook his head and sighed: "There are only more than two thousand people. These people were originally soldiers of the Fifth Army. They didn't want to be driven by Princess Chima. They secretly ran out and went to the king. They happened to meet us... The situation is too urgent!"

Bi Suo clenched his fists and hurriedly followed Tamaraga.

Tamara Gaya stood in front of the main hall of the display niche, staring at the dark boxes on the main hall case, his eyes were cold, and his whole body faintly exuded a cold murderous aura.

At this moment, Bi Suo didn't know whether he was Tamaraga or Sultan Gu.

They are one person, but in the past, Bi Suo could distinguish him as the son of Buddha and him as the regent.

Now, Roga and Sultan are fused together. He wears a monk's robe and gallops in front of the battle. There is no need to wear a mask on his face. He is more majestic than before. Every action is not angry and prestigious. There is no warmth in his eyes. Word.

Bi Suo didn't know if it was good or bad.

Why is he coming back! There are a hundred thousand people in the Northern Rong Alliance! A hundred thousand people, they can't hold the city at all...

Bi Suo concealed his grief, and said in a dumb voice: "Ari, Prajna, and the corpses of the guards have converged, all here...It is the corpses of the people who quietly helped converge. King, the guard general is pedantic, but There are still many soldiers who are still loyal to you, and so are the people. Not long ago, they quietly set fire to the Wang Temple and also burned the Kang family’s house..."

"Who is behind the scenes? How many are involved?"

Tamara Gha asked in a cold tone.

Bi Suo clasped his fist: "Which one has benefited the most, which one will definitely participate, the Kang family, the Anjia, and the Ugu family that has only recently emerged... They use the will in Chima's hand to secretly unite the monks in the temple to stir up the hearts of the people. It is said that the king protects the Han people, arouses resentment among the people, then kills and puts blame on the people, disturbs the hearts of the people, makes the people fear the regent, and then secretly seizes the loyal to the king such as Mobydo, Meng Ke, and Xiao Xiaowei, and controls the holy city. The Imperial Guards and the Chinese Guards, let Chima provoke the conflict between me and the king, and then profit from it..."

Princess Chima persuaded Aklie, the consort, to cooperate with her, but Aklie refused. The family was afraid that Aklie would leak the secret, so they simply killed Aklie.

That day, Bi Suo didn't want to deceive Tan Moroga again, telling him his life experience, sending him away, dragging the chasing soldiers, and being captured after exhaustion.

The city had been rioted for several days. Officials and generals who were still loyal to Tamaraga went to jail. The family sent people to spread rumors and slander Tamaraga, saying that he had joined forces with the Han to conquer the royal court, and the people believed it was true.

Princess Chima and the family forced Bi Suo to ascend the throne.

Bi Suo pretended to cooperate, trying to rescue the generals who were sympathetic to Tamaraga one after another, asking her comrades from Princess Chima, following the vines, and piecing together the story of their plan.

What left him lingering was that Princess Chima and their original plan was to use Princess Wen Zhao to threaten Luo Jia, and they set off the fire in the post house.

Chima wanted to seize the evidence of the secret peace between Tamaraga and Princess Wen Zhao. After waiting for a long time, she did not find a chance to start. Later, the maid told her that Princess Wen Zhao was still a virgin. She felt it was unbelievable and could only give up this plan.

After listening to Bi Suo, Tamara Gha remained unchanged, and asked, "Is there a roster?"

"I wrote it down and took it with me."

Bi Suo took out the roster and laughed at himself. He wanted to stabilize the situation and avenge Tamaraga, but his power was weak and he couldn't do anything to the family at all. He could only hide the roster and evidence first, and wanted to wait for a chance to be slow. Pick up those people slowly.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Wang Ting turned upside down and lost the battle. The holy city was besieged, and the family ran away for more than half of them. Princess Chima also ran away. Before leaving, she knelt down and begged him to accompany her to leave. , He ignored it.

He is a general in the army, the son of the Tan Mo family, and it is his responsibility to protect the holy city.

The coalition forces came, and everyone was ill-tempered. He rushed to defend the city, thinking that he would never see Tamaraga in his life.

Tamara Gha raised his hand.

The guards waiting outside the corridor immediately stepped forward, took over Bi Suo's roster, and hurriedly left.

Tamara Gha turned around and walked into his Zen room. All the furnishings in the house are the same as before. There are dark blood stains on the tiled floor, the marks of swords on the pillars and windows are still there, and a few arrows are stuck in the soil wall.

He walked through the empty inner hall, walked to the side of the couch, pulled out the drawer, and turned out a paper bag and a red hair band.

He kept the thorny honey she gave him without eating.

He pressed the paper bag into his arms, took the hairband and wrapped it around his wrist, and walked out of the inner hall.

There was a rush of footsteps in the promenade, and the monks who stayed behind in the temple stood under the steps, looking at him together, hesitated and stopped, and looked ashamed.

An old monk stepped forward with an ashamed expression on his face: "The king's heart is sent to the common people, in order to guard the holy city and protect the people, regardless of safety, he rushed back to preside over the overall situation... The Buddha said that all beings are equal. The king was born with prejudice, and because of General Saisaner, he suspected that Wang was killing innocent people indiscriminately. He didn't realize that the king had great love in his heart, and he was not tainted by all appearances and all appearances...We are ashamed."

The monks pray together.

Tamaraga stepped down the steps, without looking at them, walked out surrounded by the soldiers.

From then on, there will be no kings living in the Wang Temple in the royal court.

Yuanjue, who was walking behind, sneered and glanced around: "The holy city is surrounded, do you plan to continue sitting in the temple and chanting, or just like me, follow the king and help guard the holy city?"

The monks blushed.

...

Half an hour later, the guards took the people on the roster back to Wangsi.

The angry people rushed up immediately, picked up the stones, and threw them on the people. Seeing that the guards did not stop them, they threw them and tore them.

"You frame the Buddha! Chase and kill the Buddha! Coax us!"

"Kill them! They almost killed the Buddha!"

The officials battered their heads and cried out for help without paying any attention.

...

Tamaraga rode out of the temple, still dressed in a monk's robe, the sun hung on his contoured face, and the lines of his facial features became more distinct.

Wherever he went, there was crying and crying.

The people cried bitterly and shouted his slogan loudly. The soldiers looked up at him, and their eyes flashed with enthusiasm willing to die for him.

Tamaragarh ascended to the head of the city without a trace of waves on his face.

The generals stepped forward to inform about the situation in the city. Most of them were low-level officers and had no access to military secrets. They did not participate in the hunt for Tamaraga that day.

When Tan Moroga asked how much food, how many soldiers and horses, and how many weapons there were in the city, everyone answered one by one.

He frowned slightly.

Bi Suo sighed and said, "All the bows and ballistas have been abandoned, and there are not many arrows. Haidu Aling said that they have brought enough grain and grass for half a year this time, and our granary is almost empty..."

The faces of everyone were dull.

Everyone understands that in the previous royal court turmoil, various tribes moved one after another, and other important towns were overwhelmed by the garrison. They could not rush to help. Without food, they could not hold on for long...

Tamaraga looked at the densely packed Beirong coalition camps outside the city, "The holy city must be guarded. Haidu Aling's ambition is not only to rob the holy city. The holy city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If he captures the holy city, the entire royal court will fall." In his hands, he can also expand east and west by taking advantage of the location..."

At that time, Yaoying will also take away the terribly lost ground that Yaoying has just regained.

Everyone was shocked to hear that once Haidu Aling seized the holy city, the entire royal court would be destroyed!

"Hold the holy city and hold back their forces."

Tamara Gada Road.

Everyone responded in unison, calmly and generously-even if they all died in this battle, Haidu Aling would not be able to succeed!

After a while, several edicts were issued one after another.

The officials and soldiers who stayed behind to defend the city, regardless of their origin, were all promoted to the next level, and those who made meritorious deeds were rewarded for their merits.

All the strong men in the city who can go to the battlefield are assembled, divided into several teams, and rushed to different gates.

The old and weak women also walked out of their homes and were divided into different teams under the command of their guards. Some helped carry equipment, some helped the soldiers healed, and some helped run errands to spread the word.

From today onwards, all food stocks in the city will be distributed by the army.

According to the roster, the clerk found those craftsmen who were good at making equipment, and called on them to help repair and improve the defense equipment on the front of the city.

In addition, Tamaragarh also announced an edict.

From today onwards, all slaves belonging to the nobles in the city can be free as long as they participate in the defense of the city, regardless of whether they are men or women.

This edict was issued in an uproar.

The slaves who had not had time to escape in the city were ecstatic and weeping bitterly. They found the soldiers one after another, took up arms, and defended the city with the soldiers. The monks also walked out of the Wang Temple. They could not kill, and helped to count and distribute food to maintain order, in case the elderly, weak, women and children were robbed of food when they were receiving food.

You Tan Moroga sat in town. From generals to ordinary people, everyone found the backbone of their lives. After changing the despair and depression before, they calmed down and stopped rushing. After the edicts were issued, they could be implemented soon.

The morale of the army is unprecedentedly high. The officers don't need to say anything encouraging. As long as Tamara Gha gives an order, the soldiers will rush forward without hesitation even if there is a sea of ​​blood in front of them.

Whenever the Northern Rong coalition forces attacked the city, Tamara Gha must stand on the top of the city to command the soldiers, dressed in monk robes, and stalwart, as if not afraid of arrows flying in the sky.

Under his leadership, the soldiers repelled the offensives of the Beirong coalition forces.

Six days later, the arrows in the city ran out and the food was almost out. The soldiers guarded the city hungry, dizzy.

The Bei Rong people are like waves, surging up one after another. They are isolated islands that are about to sink in the waves, bit by bit being swallowed by the waves.

The soldiers got red eyes, and the corpses under the city were piled up into mountains.

The setting sun is like blood.

The Northern Rong coalition forces once again attacked the head of the city, aggressively.

Bi Suo was holding a long knife and covered in blood. He chopped over a Beirong man who had climbed up from the rope ladder. He and Yuanjue cut the rope ladder together.

The trumpet sounded and the Beirong coalition forces retreated.

Bi Suo lay down in a pool of blood, panting, looking at Tamaraga, sad.

He was not afraid of death, he was just sad for Luo Jia.

Several soldiers were seriously injured, and their bodies were bit by bit cold. In order to comfort them, the people next to them sang a war song.

At first, the singing voice was sad and low, and then more and more people sang along. The soldiers had chapped lips and wiped the blood on the knife. The singing became louder and louder. The singing spread down from the city, and the people in the city also sang along. The singing sound resounded over the holy city for a long time like a river merging into the vast sea, piercing through clouds and cracking rocks.

Suddenly, a strange sharp sound interrupted the desolate song flying on the battlefield.

Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of the sound.

The red sun had fallen into the valley, and from the dark sky, one after another silver light with its tail flashed up to the sky, reflecting half of the sky brightly, and then covered the northern camp of the Allied Army.

But in the blink of an eye, a blazing fire burst from the coalition camp, and the sky fell with silver light, accompanied by a roar of thunder, and the earth shook.

The soldiers of the royal court had never seen such a scene before, and they were dumbfounded.

The Northern Rong coalition camp was in chaos and turned into a sea of ​​flames.

The soldiers at the top of the city suddenly pointed in one direction and shouted: "Reinforcement! There is reinforcement!"

The crowd was full of energy and looked in the direction of his fingers.
