Charging down the mountain, Zhang Wuji and the others noticed fluttering flags on the base of the mountain. The one on the south carried a ‘Xu’ character, whereas the one on the north had a ‘Chang’ character. So that they know that Xu Da and Chang Yuchun had arrived.

Xu and Chang, two males have been initially stationed across the Huai Si River. This time they have been simply transferring their troops to Henan when Budai Heshang [cloth sack monk] Shuo Bude arrived with the decision for assist. As quickly as they discovered about their Cult Chief was besieged by the enemy on the Shaoshi Peak, they deployed their troops night time and day. By that point, across the Henan and Hubei, the Ming Cult military had fought the Yuan military for a number of years; with either side occupying overlapping areas. Since they weren’t too distant and left as quickly as they obtained the information, they managed to reach in lower than two days.

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun had been in command over the Ming Cult military for a very long time; furthermore, their troops have been massive, so that they have been capable of drive the Yuan military to the west very quickly.

The opposite pressure of ten-thousand Yuan troopers was pursuing the heroes who pretended to flee from the Temple towards the western valley. Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Songxi and Yin Liting led a number of hundred warriors with excellent ‘qing gong’ combating and retreating into the valley. The Yuan military’s ‘wan fu zhang’ [leader of ten-thousand-man unit] noticed that the three sides of the valley have been all steep cliffs; the valley seemed harmful. Nevertheless, seeing the variety of the enemy was small, he thought that even when the enemy ready an ambush there, they need to be capable to take care of it. Thereupon he signaled together with his hand to order his troops to pursue carefully into the valley.

As Yu Lianzhou and the others arrived on the backside of the cliff, they climbed on a number of dozens lengthy ropes, which have been ready upfront. Because the ‘wan fu zhang’ realized that they had fallen into the enemy’s entice, he rapidly ordered his males to withdraw. To his shock, nonetheless, on the mouth of the valley they have been pushed again by volleys of fireplace, toxic sand, arrows, and toxic water; whereas the Ju Mu Flag dropped logs in abundance to seal up the doorway of the valley.

In the meantime, the second defeated military was additionally pushed to the valley. As they noticed there was no manner out, they ran all around the mountain and valley, scattered to all path. Zhang Wuji and Xu Da arrived in shut succession. “What a pity!” they cried; if that they had deliberate it correctly upfront, the second ten thousand sturdy troops would even be pushed into the valley and destroyed fully.

Zhang Wuji didn’t anticipate the Yuan military would divide themselves into two teams, he additionally didn’t count on the reinforcement would arrive amazingly rapidly. In spite of everything, commanding troops within the battlefield was not the identical as being a Cult Chief. Though the Wumu Legacy contained marvelous army technique, in the long run, it was not straightforward to reconcile between the speculation and apply. If Xu Da and Chang Yuchun didn’t arrive on time, the Shaolin Temple would inadvertently meet its doom. The primary ten-thousand sturdy Yuan military, which was trapped contained in the valley, would even be ultimately rescued by their allies.

Xu Da instantly ordered his troops to maneuver filth and rocks to seal the mouth of the valley. He additionally despatched his archers to climb up the cliff. Occupying the upper place their arrows shot down like rain into the Yuan military beneath. The Yuan troops have been surrounded by the valley partitions, they have been powerless to retaliate and will solely cover beneath the mountain rocks.

Not too lengthy afterwards, Chang Yuchun’s troops arrived. He was extraordinarily delighted to see Zhang Wuji after an extended interval of separation.

“Take away the filth and the rocks,” Chang Yuchun yelled, “We’re entering into to wipe out the Tatars.”

Xu Da laughed and stated, “There aren’t any meals and no water within the valley. Give them seven, eight days; the Tatars will die of thirst and hunger. Why should we, brothers, painstakingly struggle with them?”

Chang Yuchun additionally laughed, “I all the time choose to kill them with my very own fingers.”

Though Chang Yuchun was older than Xu Da, he normally submitted to Xu Da’s intelligence; additionally, he observed that Zhang Wuji didn’t contradict Xu Da, so he didn’t press on.

Xu and Chang, two males have been battlefield-trained; their orders have been acceptable and to the purpose. Zhang Wuji realized his battle expertise was inferior to those two, due to this fact, he requested Xu and Chang to be in cost in pursuing and killing the runaway Yuan troopers.

That night, joyous noise shook the Shaoshi Peak, because the Ming Cult insurgent military [orig. ‘yi jun’ – righteous army, or militia] and the heroes from all faculties and sects rejoice their victory. After a number of days in a row all the time consuming vegetarian dishes within the Shaolin Temple, they grew bored with the meals. Tonight, wine and meat have been overflowing; everyone may eat to their coronary heart’s content material.

Throughout the banquet, Zhang Wuji requested Chang Yuchun about his well being; he needed to know if Chang Yuchun diligently took the drugs he prescribed to nurse Chang Yuchun’s well being. Chang Yuchun laughed aloud and stated, “Jiaozhu, don’t fret. Lao Chang [the Ol’ Chang] is as wholesome as an ox, on one meal I can eat three catties of meat and 6 huge bowls of rice. Throughout the battle, lack of sleep for 3 days and three nights is not going to hurt me a bit.” His implication was that he didn’t want any medicine. Nevertheless, Zhang Wuji remembered what Hu Qingniu had informed him; due to this fact, he earnestly implored him to take the drugs for his well being. Chang Yuchun solely gave him a non-committal reply, as a result of in his coronary heart he vastly disapproved Zhang Wuji’s recommendation.

Xu Da poured a cup filled with wine to toast Zhang Wuji. “Congratulations, Jiaozhu,” he stated, “Please settle for this toast!” Zhang Wuji obtained the cup and drank the wine.

Xu Da stated, “Subordinate has all the time admired Jiaozhu’s braveness and knowledge in coping with others, admired your peerless martial artwork talent. To my shock, your army tactic can be marvelous. That is the nice fortune of our Cult to the advantage of widespread individuals in all places.”

Zhang Wuji laughed out loud and stated, “Xu Dage, no must flatter me. Our nice victory at present was first, as a result of amazingly speedy arrival of Xu Dage and Chang Dage; and second, as a result of Yue Wumu’s Legacy. Xiao Di [little brother] really can not take even a half a part of credit score.”

“What’s the Yue Wumu’s Legacy?” Xu Da puzzled, “I urge for Jiaozhu’s rationalization.”

Zhang Wuji took a bundle of yellowish skinny paper from his bosom. It was the Wumu Legacy, which was hid contained in the Tulong Saber. He turned the web page to the ‘Troops Trapped on the Ox-head Mountain’ part and handed it over to Xu Da.

Xu Da obtained the e-book with each fingers and browse attentively for a second. He couldn’t assist however be surprised and impressed and the identical time. “Wumu’s capability in managing the troops was really divine, really unachievable by the later technology,” he sighed, “If Yue Wumu was nonetheless alive at present, main the soldiers of the Central Plains, we might not fear about driving the Tatars again to the northern desert.”

Whereas saying that, he respectfully returned the e-book However Zhang Wuji didn’t need to obtain it. He stated, “‘Probably the most revered within the Wulin world, treasured Saber slaughtering the dragon; ruling all the things beneath the heavens, nobody dares to disobey.’ The true that means of those sixteen characters, solely at present did I lastly perceive. The so-called ‘probably the most revered within the Wulin world’ is just not the Saber itself, however it’s the Legacy hid contained in the Saber. When this army technique is used to face the enemy, combating a battle will end in victory, attacking will end in subduing the enemy. In the end, ‘ruling all the things beneath the heavens, nobody dared to disobey.’ In any other case, how can one rule all the things beneath the heavens with only a single treasured saber? Xu Dage, I’m passing this army technique e-book to you. I hope you’ll use the notes Yue Wumu left behind to take our nation [orig. ‘he shan’ – river and mountain] again and arrange a brand new emperor [orig. ‘huang long – yellow dragon].”
