In "The Book of the Dragon Slayer in The Heavens", the section where the Six Gate Sect besieges the Top of The Light is not only the most wonderful part of the Heavens, but also the most classic part of the entire Archery Trilogy.
Although the Second Xiangyang War was also very classic, large in scale and numerous, it was a big battle mixed with the Wulin people against the Mongol army, and in order to highlight the Wulin people, the large army was dwarfed. The Battle of Guangming Peak was a solid martial arts duel, a general decisive battle between the Central Plains Sect and the villain Ming Sect, which had fully matured in the Yitian Era. However, why didn't this decisive battle destroy the Ming Sect?
The most direct reason is naturally the emergence of the male advocate, and in fact, the strength of the Six Gate Sect does not have the possibility of destroying the Ming Sect.
First of all, the Six Gate Sect spread all over the country, although it represented the most core force of the Central Plains Martial Forest. However, they did not intend to destroy the entire Ming Sect at the beginning, but to destroy the ming sect's main altar at the top of the light.
According to Yang Xiao, the Ming Sect has "tens of thousands of sects" in various places, and considering the exaggerated elements and the parts of it that do not belong to the martial arts combat strength, it can be said that the Ming Sect has three or five thousand martial arts in the branches of the ming sect throughout the country, and it is also completely possible to have a congregation similar to the low-generation disciples of the Cai Gang. Therefore, the collapse of the main altar does not mean the complete disintegration of the ming sect's various sects.
Secondly, the Six Gate Sect's siege of Guangming Peak was not based on hard power, but on the premise that the Ming Sect was fragmented and the high-level people fought each other. Otherwise, even without the Yang Ding Tian, the Ming Sect's high-end combat strength was not something that the Six Gate Sect could easily defeat.
Even if it wasn't that Fan Yao was missing, and if the Purple Shirt Dragon King Delise didn't participate in this decisive battle, Xie Xun didn't count. The bright left alone made Yang Xiao, the Blue-winged Bat King Wei Smile, the White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng, the Five Scattered People, as well as the Heaven and Earth Wind and Thunder Four Gates under Yang Xiao's seat, and the Five Elements Banner Commander and Vice Banner Commander, were enough to give the high-level members of the Six Gate Sect a headache.
The Five Elders of Kun Tong, the Huashan Sect XianYutong, and the Tall and Short Elders, even including the Kunlun Sect's He Taichong and Ban Shuxian couple, could only deal with the top level of the Five Elements Banner and the Five Scattered People; the extermination master Tai, the Five Heroes of Wudang, and the three great monks of Shaolin could fight against Yang Xiao and others, but there was no certainty of victory at all. Not to mention the Five Elements Banner, plus the Heavenly Eagle Banner, if they join forces, the disciples of the Six Gate Sect who have reached the top of the Light Sect will most likely not be their opponents.
The Six Gate Sect looked at the large number of people, and the various factions were also elite, but the actual number was not much. If you exclude the Poyang Gang, a gang that temporarily serves the Gate Sect, the Shaolin Sect with the largest number of people in the Six Gate Sect is only a hundred people, and the Six Gate Sect adds up to hundreds of people.
The Five Elements Banner and the Heaven and Earth Wind and Thunder Four Gates added up to more than these, plus the Heavenly Eagle Banner also had three or four hundred people, and the strength was completely above the Six Gate Sect.
The Six Gate Sect actually took the credit for Cheng Kun's sneak attack, and the lack of command of the Ming Sect people, but it did not mean that the Six Gate Sect could destroy the Ming Sect.
After Yin Tianzheng arrived at the scene, he found that all the Ming Sect high-ranking people above the five scattered people were seriously injured, and the remaining Xie Xun and others could not come to the scene. The masters of the Five Elements Banner and the Four Gates of Heaven and Earth Wind and Thunder are far from being the opponents of the masters of the Emei Sect, the Wudang Sect and the Shaolin Sect.
Yin Tianzheng could only fight against the Six Gate Sect himself, and if it were not for Zhang Wujie's attack, it seemed that the Ming Sect would have been completely destroyed. But in fact, even if the Ming Sect is not united, in order for the sect to fight with all its might, the Six Gate Sect actually cannot destroy the Ming Sect. Not to mention, the Ming Sect is like unity, and the Six Gate Sect is not the opponent of the Ming Sect at all.
The various sect gangs in the Central Plains looked numerous, and even in order to find Xie Xun trouble, the book recorded that there were more than twenty sect gangs coming, in fact, most of them were rabble-rousers. The Divine Fist Gate, the Haisha Society, the Five Phoenix Sword, the Wushan Sect, and any flag of the Five Elements Banner can be easily extinguished.
The strength of the Six Gate Sect is in the master, otherwise with the top sects such as Wudang and Emei, the elite disciples are only thirty or forty people, how can they shake the Ming Sect who is as strong as a cloud?
