"Zhou Fei, bring 500 Divine Arms soldiers, 500 archers, and 50 imperial court experts to this place to set up an ambush. When the Demon Cult people escape from here, block them and send a signal.”
"Understood!"
"Sun Kaiwang, Li Xiao, the two of you will each lead 500 Divine Arms soldiers, 300 archers, and 50 internal experts to set up an ambush here and here. Your mission will be the same as Zhou Fei's.”
"Understood!"
"Yang Xiong, take a thousand Divine Arms soldiers, two thousand soldiers, a thousand archers, and fifty internal experts. Attack from here.”
……
"Understood!"
"Qin Lin, take 300 Embroidered Uniform Guards and 500 Divine Arms Battalion soldiers to protect me.”
Qin Lin stood up." Yes, sir!"
In the camp not far from Black Wood Cliff, Zhu Houzhao looked at the terrain simulated in the sand table and issued orders.
After receiving the order, the generals left.
Qin Lin stayed behind.
His main task was to ensure Zhu Houzhao's safety.
Zhu Houzhao probably hadn't had a good sleep for a long time. His eyes were bloodshot, but he was extremely excited.
This should be the first battle under Zhu Houzhao's command.
Zhu Houzhao arranged everything in an orderly manner, taking into account all the factors. Qin Lin thought of the situation at the Black Wood Cliff and estimated that he should be able to win this battle.
Even if they failed to conquer Black Wood Cliff, Qin Lin could still ensure Zhu Houzhao's safety.
When they learned that the imperial court was going to attack Black Wood Cliff and destroy its headquarters, Black Wood Cliff summoned all the disciples they could and prepared to fight to the death with the soldiers.
Black Wood Cliff was the main altar of the Sun Moon Sect, the spiritual pillar of the sect. It could not be abandoned.
If they could defeat the soldiers, Black Wood Cliff's status in the martial arts world would be even higher.
In the few days that Invincible East was missing, the number of disciples gathered by Black Wood Cliff exceeded ten thousand.
To a martial arts sect, this was an extremely huge number.
……
When the time came, Zhu Houzhao waved his flag and a few cannons sounded.
"Kill!"
The thousands of soldiers led by Yang Xiong charged towards the Black Wood Cliff.
Then, a series of banging sounds rang out.
Qin Lin jumped onto a big tree. From a distance of several hundred meters, he saw thousands of Demon Sect disciples in black robes rushing down the mountain like a tide.
These people all had a foundation in martial arts, and many of them were experts of Houtian eighth or ninth stage.
However, under the concentrated bullets of the musket, they fell row by row.
Qin Lin was surprised to find that the Divine Arms Battalion trained by Zhu Houzhao was using the three-segment attack method.
Moreover, the gunpowder on the Divine Arms soldiers was all made from a fixed amount of gunpowder packets made of oil paper.
After firing, the soldier immediately crouched down, tore open the gunpowder bag, poured gunpowder into the barrel, and stuffed a lead bullet into it. The entire loading process took less than ten seconds.
The only flaw was that the musket was still a musket, not a flintlock.
Zhu Houzhao set up the telescope Qin Lin gave him and looked at the battle in front of him with a solemn expression.
After a row of guns, a small number of Demon Cult disciples rushed forward.
At this moment, the archers began to shoot, and then the ordinary soldiers rushed forward and began to engage in close combat.
The imperial court experts who were waiting at the side also moved out and fought with the Demon Cult experts.
At this moment, the Divine Arms Battalion soldiers split up into groups of three to kill the Demonic Sect disciples at close range.
After the battle began, in less than two hours, more than half of the Demon Cult disciples had died and retreated to the mountain.
Under Yang Xiong's arrangements, thousands of soldiers advanced layer by layer.
Qin Lin jumped down from the tree and returned to Zhu Houzhao's side.
"Our arrangements are still not thorough enough. If they were ordinary mountain bandits, this battle would be effortless, but there are many martial arts masters among the Demon Cult. These people can easily break through our formation…"
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he said to Qin Lin,"Qin Lin, Lu Ming is too mediocre. Perhaps it's because his martial arts are not high enough. Therefore, there are no experts in the Jinyiwei, but you are different! After I appoint you as the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, you must increase the combat strength of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Whether you train them yourself or bribe them, I want the Embroidered Uniform Guards to become a powerful force that can annihilate any martial arts sect in a short period of time!”
"Emperor, this isn't good, right? Aren't you afraid that the Jinyiwei will become another Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa?”
Qin Lin said in surprise.
Zhu Houzhao looked deeply at Qin Lin." Qin Lin, I believe you. I see you as my confidant. Even if one day, your achievements shock the Lord, I will not mistreat you. I also believe that you, Qin Lin, will never become the second Ironguts Deity Marquis.”
"Your Majesty…as you wish!" Qin Lin was touched.
Zhu Houzhao laughed and turned his head to look in the direction of Black Wood Cliff.
Four hours later, Yang Xiong had already invaded the underground palace of the Black Wood Cliff's main altar.
In the underground palace, the remaining hundreds of Demonic Sect disciples gathered together and resisted.
Yang Xiong ordered his men to stop attacking and sent someone to inform Zhu Houzhao.
A moment later, Zhu Houzhao and Qin Lin arrived at the underground palace.
Zhu Houzhao was wearing the flying fish robe of a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and followed closely behind Qin Lin.
Qin Lin strode into the underground palace.
Qin Lin glanced at the hundreds of Demon Cult disciples who were covered in blood and said indifferently,""Surrender! "Among you, other than those who have committed great crimes, the rest can join our Embroidered Uniform Guards. After joining the Brocade Guard, you will be officials in the future. You can appear in front of the world openly.”
"Hahaha…"
As the sound of Qin Lin's voice faded, Xiang Wentian started laughing loudly.
Qin Lin smiled at Xiang Wentian.
After Xiang Wentian finished laughing, he pointed at Qin Lin,"You killed more than 10,000 of my disciples, and you want us to surrender? Dream on!”
After speaking, Xiang Wentian raised his sword and charged towards Qin Lin.
Qin Lin raised his hand and slammed his palm onto Xiang Wentian's chest.
Xiang Wentian's body flew backward and crashed heavily into the stone wall.
After landing, Xiang Wentian was already motionless.
"Left Emissary Xiang!"
A delicate voice sounded.
Immediately after, a young woman rushed out and ran to Xiang Wentian's side.
When she realized that Xiang Wentian was not breathing, the young woman raised her sword and slashed it at her own neck.
Qin Lin raised his hand and pointed. A sword qi shot out and sent the sword in the young woman's hand flying. Then, he pointed and sealed all the acupuncture points in her body.
When the remaining Demonic Sect disciples saw this scene, some of them looked terrified, and their hands holding their sabers trembled.
"I, I surrender!"
"I surrender too!"
"I didn't do anything bad. I'm willing to join the Embroidered Uniform Guards! He would become a hawk, no, an official of the imperial court.”
……
It was unknown who took the lead and threw away the weapons in their hands. The remaining Demon Sect disciples also surrendered.
"We are with the Sun Moon Sect!"
The remaining dozens of people, under their grief and indignation, shouted in unison and committed suicide.
The Sun Moon Sect, which had stood tall in the martial world for nearly a hundred years, was destroyed just like that.
