The Record of Righteousness

The fierce wind blew the gloomy smoke, and the cloud edge of the blue flag rolled up.

That night, the right protector of the White Lotus Sect, Mo Qingqiu, dispatched a general order and sent a messenger to deliver the secret letter to the hall masters in an urgent manner.

The master of the Water Hall guarding Yanzhou was ordered to station 5,000 troops on the spot to preside over the overall situation to prevent the invasion of the Ming army in the west!

The master of the Gold Hall guarding the north of Yanzhou was ordered to lead 10,000 troops to Jinan Prefecture as soon as possible!

The master of the Fire Hall guarding Xuzhou was ordered to lead 5,000 troops to Jinan Prefecture as soon as possible!

The master of the Earth Hall guarding Laizhou and Dengzhou was ordered to stay on the spot, send 10,000 troops, and join forces with the master of the Wood Hall to form a 15,000-strong army to rush to Jinan Prefecture!

The master of the Wood Hall guarding Qingzhou was ordered to lead 5,000 troops to join forces with the 10,000 troops of the Earth Hall and rush to Jinan Prefecture as soon as possible!

The dull drums and orders rang out, mixed with the chaotic and heavy footsteps of the soldiers, stepping on this once fertile land.

The devastated Shandong land was full of blood, and the shrill crows were circling above the dark army. The thick fog and black clouds indicated that the rain was coming, and the people were panicking.

As far as the eye could see, there were corpses everywhere and broken walls.

The 30,000 troops of the White Lotus Sect had assembled under the city of Jinan.

The Saint entrusted the military power to the Right Protector Mo Qingqiu, and she herself was in the rear.

The Right Protector Mo Qingqiu personally took the lead and commanded 30,000 troops and horses, marching towards the Taishan Sect.

The Taishan Sect is located on Mount Tai and is divided into two gates, the inner and outer gates.

The outer gate is ten miles above and below the foot of Mount Tai, and thirty miles outside.

There are not only tens of thousands of outer sect disciples in the outer sect, but also countless civilians, either tenants of the Taishan Sect or merchants doing small business.

With these people, the outer sect at the foot of Taishan has developed extremely large, equivalent to a small city.

Taishan Sect is only more than 20 miles away from Jinan. The terrain is steep and towering, the city walls are strong, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

And because it is located at the foot of the mountain, it is not easily affected by floods. The money and food of the Taishan Sect must not be lost much. As long as the Taishan Sect is captured, the money, food and people will be at your fingertips.

Mo Qingqiu knows that speed is the essence of war. If an unexpected attack is made, it will inevitably cause the Taishan Sect to panic.

So the troops are divided into three routes:

The head of the Jintang, Jin Yuan, is the vanguard general, leading 15,000 soldiers, with ten deputy generals under him, responsible for leading the vanguard army.

Lin Junjie, the head of the Wood Hall, led 10,000 soldiers and seven deputy generals, who were the rear army, responsible for outflanking the Taishan Sect and serving as reinforcements for the vanguard army.

The new head of the Fire Hall, Zhang Lingchong, led 5,000 soldiers and five deputy generals, who supported the two armies and dispersed the troops to clear out the escaped fish of the Taishan Sect.

The white lotus soldiers on the city wall raised the worn-out banners and led the generals of Da Mo Qingqiu. The rest of the soldiers beat the drums and ordered the 30,000 troops to attack immediately.

The low-hanging gray-white cloud shadows mixed with the diffused gunpowder smoke, making the patches of blood on the ground with faint light mottled and dark.

The marching sound of the 30,000 troops shook the sky, and they marched out of Jinan City in a mighty manner, stepping on the muddy and wet knee-high muddy water to attack Taishan.

Soon a huge city wall appeared in front of the soldiers. Although this city wall was not as majestic and thick as the Jinan city wall, it was still towering in front of the soldiers under the city.

The battle of Taishan Sect started soon.

The drums sounded suddenly, rumbling like thunder; the flames shot up into the sky, shining like huge waves.

The central army where Jin Yuan was located issued an order, and the messenger rode on horseback and waved the flag.

The 15,000-member army quickly deployed its battle formation under the command of more than ten deputy generals.

"Kill, kill, kill!!!"

More than 10,000 infantrymen were a huge black mass that could not be seen from the end, and among them were countless cloud ladders and siege rams made of giant trees, rushing towards the outer gate of Taishan Sect.

The dark sky seemed to be disturbed by the shouting and killing, and the fishy wind gradually rose, and the dark clouds overlapped.

Three thousand archers followed closely behind, responsible for shooting arrows to kill the enemy troops resisting on the battlements.

Two thousand cavalry were waiting in the rear army, led by Jin Yuan's trusted general, responsible for rushing into the city and defeating the enemy after the city was broken, and also serving as the supervisor of the army to kill the deserters and generals.

The two outer elders of Taishan Sect were stationed on the outer gate wall, and there were only two thousand outer disciples stationed there.

These outer disciples had never fought a war before, and when they saw the white lotus infantrymen under the city wall, who were killing people with red eyes and bloodless, they all became weak.

In addition, the leader of Taishan Sect was missing, and for a time they were leaderless.

They never thought that their former allies would betray their loyalty and kill people today.

Those white lotus infantrymen climbed up the cloud ladder fearlessly, like a group of ants, one after another.

After a footman killed an outer disciple, he was pushed down and fell to death, and soon other white lotus infantrymen rushed up and killed the outer disciple.

After a battlement of the city wall fell, the densely packed White Lotus infantry climbed up the city wall and slaughtered the Taishan disciples like wild beasts. Soon more and more battlements fell.

The tightly closed city gate below was shaking under the impact of the huge siege equipment. Then with a loud bang, the two large doors fell to the ground and fell into the city gate hole, crushing more than 20 Taishan disciples to death.

Seeing that the city gate had been broken, the messenger rode on horseback to deliver the message to the central army where Jin Yuan was. The central army immediately waved the flag to the leader of the cavalry and ordered an attack.

The infantrymen in the cavalry who had been waiting for a long time pulled the reins in their hands, and the horses under their crotches neighed together. The two thousand cavalrymen turned into a black torrent, passing the running infantry in the thunder and lightning, and rushed into the wide-open city gate.

These two thousand cavalry soldiers are the veterans of the White Lotus Army, the elite among the elite, and the monthly salary and food they eat are much better than those of ordinary infantry.
