During this period of late June, almost all the prosperous Tang dynasties turned their attention to Shandong.

Guan Tianzhao and the Fusang people attacked Shandong in a siege. The situation was in danger. The court sent troops from Luoyang and quickly intervened in the war situation in Shandong. However, the court did not prepare enough and did not invest much army. The situation was once in a melee, hard fighting, and tug-of-war.[]

At this time, General Ma from the northwest increased his troops again and put pressure on the Chang'an border, and there was no troops to adjust in Chang'an.

The two sides fought hard to resolve.

Many people from the prosperous Tang Dynasty also joined the battle against foreign enemies.

But the people in the martial arts world are the people in the martial arts world after all. When they face the regular army, they often suffer losses. Many martial arts heroes were killed by the enemy, and many teams were disbanded.

Only one of the martial arts teams, known as the Henan guerrillas, was the most active in this battle and performed very well.

This team was led by the abbot Yijie of Shaolin Temple. At the beginning, they almost never confronted the enemy head-on, which made people from other provinces laugh at them for a while.

Their main range of activities is to ambush the small troops of the Fusang people, sneak attack the opponent's food and grass convoy, or go to the coast to burn enemy ships, or even poison the opponent's food and grass.

The Henan guerrillas always do everything, but they just refuse to face the enemy head-on.

People from other provinces rely on their passion to attack the enemy's troops, causing heavy losses.

Seven days passed, and gradually, martial arts people from many provinces had to withdraw from the battle due to the great losses.

However, their sacrifices were not worthless. The second wave of reinforcements sent by the imperial court in Luoyang finally came to Shandong.

After the arrival of reinforcements, the situation in Shandong finally reversed.

Guan Tianzhao's army was first dispersed, and those who died were killed and those who surrendered. Only five or six thousand loyal troops fled back to Zhengzhou in a panic and trapped the lonely city.

The imperial army had no time to pursue Hisan, and now we must completely defeat the Fusang people first.

The Fusang people also suffered heavy losses in consumption. The 50,000 soldiers only stabbed the remaining nearly 10,000 and were preparing to escape.

Their sea boats also came to the coastal areas and were preparing to pick up their mother Fusang.

They fled in a panic, and the 30,000 soldiers from the court chased each other, striving to keep them completely on the shore before the enemy boarded the ship.

At this time, the only team composed of all the martial arts people was left with Henan guerrillas.

Huo Yuanzhen looked at the system time. It was already the evening of June 27th. After midnight today, he could draw.

But today is not easy for Na An to pass through.

The battle was fought very quickly, but it was unprecedentedly tragic. In just seven days, 100,000 people died in Shandong.

Even his own guerrilla team reduced from nearly 500 to more than 200, which was half the loss, which shows how fierce the battle was.

If it weren't for the fact that he had not used the Golden Eagle to observe the enemy's situation at a high altitude, predict the enemy's initiative, and commanding well, these people would have been more than enough to destroy them ten times.

Today is also the last action of this Henan guerrilla team. It has been successful, the merits have been fulfilled, and it has failed, and it will never be restored.

My goal is to burn down more than a dozen large sea boats on the distant shore.

There were nearly 3,000 Fusang soldiers at these sea boats, who had never left before, just to leave a way out for Fusang soldiers who were landing in battle.

Now the Fusang army has been defeated and is fleeing in panic. It is preparing to use these ships to return to Fusang.

What I have to do is to cut off their retreat before they arrive, so that they will never have the possibility of escaping.

And the three thousand defenders were the mountains that they had to climb.

Last time in Shaolin, I had less than 200 people to Guan Tianzhao's 7,000 troops, but that time there were hornets, Great Sage and Bull Demon King to help the battle, so it was very easy.

But this time there are only more than 200 Henan martial arts people left now.

The task is very arduous!

Huo Yuanzhen looked at the person next to him: "Are the things ready?"

“It’s ready.”

The people next to them are now similar to beggars. Their clothes are broken everywhere, and many people are even injured, but no one says it is hard work or something.

Because their guerrilla captain, Abbot Yijie of Shaolin Temple, could not see the monk at this time. Except for the iconic bald head, the rest of the places were inferior to those of beggars.

The people next to them took out a lot of sulfur, spirits, cotton, flint, and even lamp oil, which were essential things for them to set fire.

Seeing these things, Huo Yuanzhen nodded.

If you use it properly, you will not ask about burning the sea boats.

But how to burn this is indeed a difficult problem. Each ship has three hundred Fusang soldiers guarding him. If you want to burn the ship, they must be solved.

Through the Golden Eagle, I learned about the situation of the fleeing Fusang Army again. Huo Yuanzhen discovered that the Fusang soldiers were fleeing for 160 miles away. It was estimated that it would take only two hours to arrive here.

The chasing soldiers and horses of the imperial court are now a hundred miles away. Although the speed is faster than that of the Fusang army, if they continue to chase after them, these large sea ships will probably have anchored offshore.

The movement must be fast!

"one two three……"

After counting, there were ten large sea boats in front of me. Each of these large ships could carry nearly one thousand people, which was the highest level of shipbuilding in this era.

"Everyone is optimistic. There are ten large ships of the Fusang army, divided into three parts. There are four in the middle, with three ships on each side and one on each side. Our manpower is limited. Do you think it is better for us to attack there first?"

"Captain, I think it's better for us to attack the ships on the left or right. It's not that easy to burn ten large ships, and we have to do what we can."

Many people nodded in agreement. It was already a brilliant achievement for Henan guerrillas to last until the end. Now that the Fusang people have to escape, there is no need to keep them desperately. Just burn some of the ships, but it is unrealistic to burn them all.

If these people are anxious and finally counterattack and bite them, they will not be able to get the money.

"So what do you think is the biggest obstacle for us to burn ships?"

Huo Yuan really had a different idea from them. Since this time has come, he must achieve perfect merits. Otherwise, if this trip made those Fusang people escape, it would be a lifelong regret for him.

"Of course it was those guards. If there weren't so many guards on the ship, it would be much easier for us to move."

Huo Yuanzhen nodded: "That's it, let's formulate an action plan first."

Huo Yuanzhen started drawing pictures on the sand, quickly analyzed and gave a guide, and all the An Yao figures around him surrounded him and watched the magical captain command the final battle.

During this period, Huo Yuan's performance really convinced everyone. It turns out that fighting with the army is a completely different concept from fighting in the martial arts world. Just having a passionate heart can only die quickly.

The captain of the abbot can predict the enemy's initiative every time, see the opportunity, and succeed with one blow, and quickly escape from the distance after success, without dragging on the mud.

There were also many people who were dissatisfied and wanted to expand the results of the battle. After the captain's persuasion failed, they let them go, but without exception, none of the people who went there had been back.

After the burning of sea ships to Cambodia, the battle in Shandong was almost over. People also wanted to fight this last battle well and return to their hometown to have a great glory.

People were all listening attentively to Captain Qizhang's explanation.

As I listened, someone gradually changed his expression.

"Captain, this won't work. How can you just take on this important task? You will die!"

"Yes, captain, aren't you going to commit suicide? We will never agree. If so, it's better to let these Fusang people escape back."

Huo Yuanzhen waved his hand: "Don't worry, those Fusang soldiers can't kill me. My life is hard, and I really can't resist it, so I have the ability to escape."

People shook their heads and didn't believe the captain's words at all.

"Captain, don't lie to us. You have to actively intercept the people who board the ship and let us set fire with all our might. What is this not a way to seek death?"

Seeing that these people still disagree, Huo Yuanzhen finally turned cold: "This battle has reached this level. No matter what, we must burn the enemy's sea ships. If you refuse to agree, I will just go alone."

People look at me, I look at you, and when they see the captain get angry, they can't say anything else.

Maybe this magical captain can create magic this time.

"Okay, bring everything up now. Time is not long. We don't have time to make detailed arrangements. We start from the big ship on the left and burn one by one. We have two hundred people here, and every twenty people are in a team. Each team lurks under a ship. After I have attracted the attention of the enemy, you will set fire immediately! Once the ship is ignited, you will jump into the sea again and don't fight with the enemy. Our final goal is to all go back alive."

Everyone nodded with tears in their eyes, their eyes blurred.

Such a plan can indeed make others go back alive, but this abbot is afraid that he will never go back again.

It turns out that he is a generation of eminent monk who is compassionate to the world. Is he going to sacrifice himself?

Huo Yuanzhen looked at these people helplessly, thinking to himself, what can I do if I have no idea about this? You guys will worry about it.

However, I can't say much of my trump cards at this time. Huo Yuanzhen simply stopped explaining it. He took everyone quietly to the rocks by the sea, then started diving, and then quietly approached the sea boats by the night.

As soon as they left, behind the rocks where they left, a woman in white cut her veil and slowly stood up.

Under the veil, he bit his red lips lightly and slowly said, "This fool!"
