At the second watch, the sky was completely dark. Zhao Yuan led two hundred swordsmen and axemen and quietly began to move towards Brahma Emperor Mountain according to the predetermined route. The headquarters of Brahma Sect was heavily guarded, with many guards, and it was located in a strategic location.

In the northwest, they are completely a dominant force here and have no rivals at all. Therefore, the internal security is relatively tight, but the external security is almost non-existent.

However, the terrain here is dangerous, and it is not easy to sneak in quietly. Zhao Yuan and others set off at the second watch, and it took them two full hours to reach the predetermined location. The soldiers' physical strength was also very exhausted.

serious.

So Zhao Yuan did not immediately let the soldiers attack, but rested and ate on the spot. Others were waiting for work. If he attacked with an exhausted army, it would undoubtedly be the same as letting these soldiers die.

A few miles away, the remaining troops had quietly sneaked away to a place less than a mile away from the gate of the Brahma Sect, but there was still some distance from the villagers' houses. If they were too close, the dogs of the residents would be aware of it.

At that time, the dogs in the whole village barked together, as if they were being tipped off.

Time passed slowly, but there was no movement on the top of the mountain. Xia Zizai was getting impatient while waiting, and asked slightly worriedly: "General, is it impossible for Young Master Yang to reach the top of the mountain?"

General Hu also looked at the top of the mountain, looked at the sky, and said, "When do you think the best time to attack is?"

Xia Zizai was a little confused as to why he asked himself this, and after thinking about it, he said: "At the moment before dawn, those who are sleeping are not yet awake, and those who are keeping watch are already the most exhausted."

As a soldier, Xia Zizai naturally knows this.

General Hu asked: "Then do you think Yang Shaoxia knows this?"

Xia Zizai pondered: "What does the general mean?"

General Hu said: "The top of the mountain is the place where the enemy's defense is weakest. That's because there are dangers to fall back on. Yang Shaoxia may feel like walking on flat ground when he arrives here, but our soldiers cannot. After climbing up, they will definitely consume a lot of physical strength. At this time

If they are allowed to attack rashly, the gains will outweigh the losses, so this general believes that he should let the soldiers repair at this time, and we only need to wait patiently for the signal."

Xia Zizai's face felt slightly hot and he said, "Yes."

Time passed slowly while waiting. While waiting, the darkness in the sky seemed to be slowly receding. Even though Xia Zizai was calm, she felt a little panicked at the moment.

The waiting suddenly turned into an ordeal.

At this moment, a red line finally flew straight towards the sky from behind the Brahma Sect, and then bloomed in the sky, lighting up the sky instantly.

Xia Zizai had been holding back his anger for a long time. He raised the knife in his hand and shouted: "Kill!"

The soldiers jumped out from their hiding place and rushed towards the gate of the Brahma Sect's main helm.

The dogs in the village barked suddenly. Some villagers got curious and took a look. What they saw was indeed a dense crowd of strong men holding weapons. They were so frightened that they hid in the house and did not dare to come out.

The soldiers seemed to be swarming, but in fact they were very orderly. The swordsmen and axemen were at the front, followed closely by the archers, whose arrows were wrapped with oil-soaked linen cloth.

There were guards at the gate, but there were not many, just a few people. When they saw the fireworks blooming in the sky, they did not realize that this was a signal to attack. When they heard the dogs barking, they were still discussing what was going on.

But a moment later, they saw the Ming army swarming towards them. They were frightened and were immediately killed by the swordsman in front of them.

The resistance at the door was quickly eliminated. After the swordsman rushed into the door, he did not immediately rush in chaotically, but quickly organized his team and began to advance.

The archers behind them lit their arrows and began shooting arrows at the surrounding buildings.

At the moment when the fireworks are set off.

The soldiers accompanying Zhao Yuan had already crossed the wall that was not too high and fought their way in.

There is a lack of trees here, but the Brahma Sect used a lot of wood when building this place. When the soldiers rushed in, they did not forget to do another thing, which was to set fire.

The sudden appearance of Zhao Yuan and others caught the patrolling soldiers off guard. Furthermore, how could a patrol team of more than ten people be the opponent of these Ming troops? They died in an instant under the sword.

After killing the patrolling soldiers, the Ming army immediately began to break into those rooms, killing everyone in the house regardless of their identity, and setting a fire after killing them.

Not long after, thick smoke began to billow from everywhere in the originally grand temple.

Originally there were nearly 700 guards here. If there was a head-on confrontation, they might still be able to fight. Depending on the terrain, even if the Ming army captured this place, there would be heavy casualties.

Then the Ming army did not confront them head-on, but carried out a sneak attack. There were less than a hundred guards patrolling at night. They died instantly under the sword of the Ming army. Those guards who got up from the bed in a panic did not understand at all.

What happened? There were sounds of fighting above, and thick smoke was billowing from the temples and pavilions. The same was true below. I had no idea how many people were coming, or who the enemy was.

Under such chaos, no one could organize a decent counterattack no matter how talented they were. The guards who hurriedly started to rush around like headless flies.

Under such circumstances, how could they defeat the well-prepared Ming army? The slightest resistance was like a small spark that was extinguished by the torrential rain in an instant.

So some people began to surrender, and then at this moment, the Ming army came with the purpose of eradicating them. After completing the task, they quickly evacuated without thinking about capturing any prisoners.

These guards soon discovered with some sadness that even if they put down their weapons and raised their hands in surrender, they would still be greeted by bright steel swords.

The originally peaceful Buddhist temple turned into a hell at this moment. Fire began to devour one Buddhist temple after another. The bodies of guards were everywhere on the ground. Even the little novice monks who might not have known anything also did not escape.

Time was short, and the Ming army did not have time to distinguish who was a Brahma sect figure and who was an ordinary monk.

The houses were like burning torches, illuminating Mount Brahma, and the screams were carried far away by the night wind.

The residents at the foot of the mountain could only huddle in their houses at the moment, cautiously looking from the windows at the holy land that had turned into a sea of ​​fire. They had no idea what was happening.

At this moment, the Ming army was like passing locusts, eating away at everything in sight.

In the secret passage in the Brahma Emperor Mountain, the disheveled leader was hurriedly escaping through the secret passage under the protection of several guards. The secret passage was in his room. When the entire Brahma Emperor Mountain was attacked, he

He had already hid in, but at this moment, the house he lived in had already turned into a sea of ​​fire, blocking the entrance.

After running angrily for a while, he stopped and gasped for air. Being fat, he was not suitable for strenuous exercise at all, except in bed.

After taking a few breaths to calm down his breathing, he looked at the middle-aged man in white robe next to him and said, "High Priest, who are these people?"

The high priest shook his head and said: "I don't know either. They appeared so suddenly without any warning in advance, and within a radius of several hundred miles, only Zizai City can have such a large number of people."

The leader said: "Isn't Zizaicheng currently at war with the Ming Dynasty's army? How could it be possible to run so far?"

I got intelligence a few days ago that the Ming army was besieging Zizai City and the fighting was extremely fierce. How could they travel hundreds of miles away to attack me and others?

The high priest muttered: "The information is correct, but I think these people are not ordinary bandits. There must be something fishy about this matter! It will take time to conduct a thorough investigation."

"A thorough investigation?"

The leader raised his voice, pointed in the direction he was coming, and said: "Others have already arrived at the door. You still need time to conduct a thorough investigation. You are just a loser, a waste! Waste..."

But just when he was about to repeat the second rubbish, the high priest suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed his thick and fat neck, and said with a gloomy face: "I have tolerated you for a long time, how can you be so virtuous?"

?You can sit in the position of leader and be respected by thousands of people? Without me, who are you?"

Then with a gloomy smile on his face, he said: "It's a good day, someone actually knocked on the door. You can go in peace, this priest will avenge you!"

Then he exerted force on his hand, and heard a soft click. When he let go, the leader's head fell softly on his shoulders, and he fell to the ground.

There were four other people accompanying him. They were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them. One of them reacted quickly and quickly knelt on the ground and said: "I will follow the high priest's lead!"

Several other people also came to their senses and knelt on the ground.

A hint of a sinister smile appeared on the high priest's face, and he said: "Is the horse following his lead? Then do you all listen to my orders?"

"listen!"

Several people said almost at the same time.
Chapter completed!
