Zhang Wuji awoke at dawn the subsequent morning and instantly jumped up a tall tree to scout the enemy motion. The enemy camp was bustling with exercise; it appeared that they had been going to launch an assault.
“Min Mei!” Zhang Wuji referred to as.
“Mmm … what’s it?” Zhao Min replied.
Zhang Wuji hesitated earlier than saying, “Nothing, I simply like to name your identify.” Really, he wished to seek the advice of Zhao Min on easy methods to repel the Yuan military, realizing full effectively that she was very resourceful; definitely she had some good concepts. However then he thought, “She was a princess of the imperial court docket; she betrayed her father and brother to comply with me. I feel it’s simply an excessive amount of to ask her to assist me killing her fellow Mongolians.” Therefore, he stopped himself when the phrases had been simply on the tip of his tongue.
Zhao Min seen the change in his countenance; she knew what he was going to say. She sighed and mentioned, “Wuji Gege, you’ll be able to empathize with my painful predicament; I haven’t got to say something.”
Zhang Wuji went again to his room with a troubled thoughts of not realizing what to do. Absentmindedly he took the 2 bundles of e book Zhao Min introduced final evening. He learn a number of pages of the 9 Yin Guide; he additionally took a look on the Wumu Legacy. Once more, after studying a number of pages, he got here throughout a title ‘bing kun niu tou shan’ 5 small characters [troops trapped on the Ox-head Hill]. His coronary heart was moved. He learn on and located that on this part, Yue Fei recounted his expertise when his outnumbered troops had been surrounded by the Jin military; how he escaped from the entrapment, how he deployed particular power troopers, how he launched a converging assault and seized an awesome victory, every kind of plan defined in nice particulars.
Zhang Wuji slapped the desk, “The Heaven helps me!” he exclaimed. Slapping the e book down, he began to suppose. The state of affairs of this Shaoshi Peak was completely completely different to the Niutou Hill the place Yue Fei was trapped previously; nevertheless, if he used the identical ways, there was no cause why he couldn’t win by a shock transfer.
His admiration grew as he contemplated deeper; he thought that Yue Wumu was a Heaven-sent genius. Confronted with such hazard, an strange man wouldn’t consider such technique. He additionally thought that troop’s deployment was identical to martial artwork; if there was no professional giving steering, irrespective of how sensible or how boring, one wouldn’t consider such plan.
Dipping his finger into the tea cup, he drew the Temple map on the desk. Though he absolutely realized the damaging state of affairs they had been in, who may say that they might not be fortunate and prevail towards the enemy? Their facet was few, the enemy was many; in the long run, they might not rating victory by marching out in neat formation and interact the enemy in an open battle.
As soon as his thoughts was set, he went to the Da Xiong Bao Dian [Precious Hall of Great Heroes] and requested Abbot Kong Wen to summon the heroes. In a brief second everyone had arrived.
Zhang Wuji stood up and mentioned, “Presently, Tatars cavalry has gathered on the base of the mountain. Presumably, they are going to perform a big scale assault quickly. Though we now have scored a small victory yesterday and have dampened their spirit, but when the Tatars pay no regards to their very own lives and throng up the mountain, we will probably be onerous pressed to face up to them. Zaixia [lit. under, the humble one] has no expertise; it was by the heroes’ graciousness that I’m elected to carry this short-term place because the commander in chief. As we speak we’re united towards a standard enemy. I’m asking everyone to obey my command.”
The multitude of heroes replied in a single voice, “Please concern the order, we are going to comply with, nobody will dare to disobey.”
“Very effectively!” Zhang Wuji mentioned, “Wu Qishi [Flag Leader Wu], obtain my order!”
Rui Jin’s Flag Chief, Wu Jingcao stepped ahead, bowed and mentioned, “Subordinate is able to obtain the order.” Whereas he was pondering in his coronary heart, “Jiaozhu points his first order to me. It’s actually an awesome honor. It doesn’t matter what sort of hazard I must face, I’ll danger my life in doing it.”
Zhang Wuji mentioned, “I assign you to steer your Flag brethren to carry the martial legislation. Whichever hero or warrior doesn’t obey my order, the Rui Jin Flag’s lances and hatchets will probably be thrown into his physique. This legislation additionally applies to seniors and elders of our personal Cult, and Wulin masters and seniors. No exception.”
“Settle for the order!” with a loud voice Wu Jingcao complied. He took a small white flag from his bosom and held it tight with each fingers.
Each by way of identify and martial artwork ability, Wu Jingcao was not thought of to be a firstclass Jianghu warrior, so beforehand, no person regarded him too extremely. However because the 5-Ingredient Flags demonstrated their invincible would possibly the opposite day, the multitude of heroes all knew that wherever this small white flag in his hand landed, it can instantly adopted by the five hundred feathered arrows, 500 javelins, and 500 brief hatchets. Even when your ability is as excessive because the heavens, you’ll develop into mincemeat immediately. Subsequently, seeing him unfolding the white flag, everyone’s coronary heart shivered.
The explanation behind this order was as a result of when Zhang Wuji browsed via the Wumu Legacy, the primary chapter began with, ‘The best way to the profitable coaching of troops begins with strict self-discipline.’ He knew these Jianghu warriors had been proud individuals; each was used to do what one’s thought proper. Though individually they possessed robust martial artwork ability, combating collectively unorganized, they had been no completely different than a motley crowd. With out somebody giving order to prepare and restrain, forcing them to comply with orders, there was no method they might resist the Mongolian elite troops. Subsequently, his first order was to assign the Rui Jin Flag because the legislation enforcers.
Pointing his finger to the tall wall in entrance of the corridor, Zhang Wuji mentioned, “Gents, Heroes, whoever excels in ‘qing gong’ and capable of leap over that wall, please present your ability.”
Among the many crowd of heroes, there weren’t a couple of whose face appeared dissatisfied; they thought, “What is that this immaterial speak about telling us to indicate off our leaping capacity?” Some senior masters felt that he was displaying contempt towards others; they weren’t happy in any respect.
Zhang Songxi stepped out from among the many crowd and mentioned, “I can.” After which he leaped over the wall and calmly landed on the opposite facet of the wall. Wudang Pai’s ‘ti yun zong’ [cloud stairs] ‘qing gong’ loved fairly a popularity all through the world. For somebody with Zhang Songxi’s capacity, leaping this wall was as simple as blowing off mud. Nevertheless, he was not displaying off in any respect, it was solely an trustworthy demonstration as a result of he was following order. Thereupon Yu Lianzhou, Yin Liting, Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, Wei Yixiao, Yin Yewang and the opposite consultants adopted go well with one after the other.
Like butterflies flying over flowers the heroes jumped over the wall one after one other. Some had been displaying off their ‘qing gong’ by performing every kind of flowery kinds midair. After greater than 4 hundred individuals had leaped, it seemed like no person else was going to attempt.
This wall was certainly not low; and not using a good ‘qing gong’ it was not simple to leap over it. The multitude of heroes didn’t practice the identical martial artwork ability. Oftentimes they educated themselves effectively in fists and kicks or weaponry, so their ‘qing gong’ was strange. There have been fairly quite a few Jianghu characters who made their names this manner; naturally, they weren’t keen to indicate off their shortcomings.
Noticing that amongst these 4 hundred individuals there have been about eighty to ninety Shaolin monks, Zhang Wuji thought, “Shaolin Pai actually lives as much as its popularity because the primary faculty in Wulin. Simply in ‘qing gong’ alone, they’ve many extra masters than every other colleges.” Thereupon he issued his subsequent order, “Yu Er Bo, Zhang Si Bo, Yin Liu Shu, the three Uncles are to steer these heroes excel in ‘qing gong’ to bluff the enemy. You might be to fake to be escapees from the Temple, make the enemy troops to pursue you, and once you get to the again of the mountain …” And he detailed the subsequent steps.
