A knife in love

Chapter 2780
It was almost dusk at this time, the heavy rain was beginning to clear, and the sky could faintly see a little bit of starlight.Tens of thousands of people fought fiercely on the ground, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering. Li Qiufeng and others stood on the top of Old Man Mountain, three or four miles away from the battlefield, but they heard the shouts of killing, the neighing of horses, and the sound of weapons clashing from far away. , everyone felt terrified.Yan Song has the highest official position among all the people, but when it comes to greed for life and fear of death, no one can compare to him.Seeing that there were corpses everywhere at the bottom of the mountain, and the Japanese pirates gradually gained the upper hand and surrounded the barbarian horse army, Yan Song was so frightened that his legs trembled and he took a few steps back silently. If he attacked Old Man Mountain, he would turn around and run away.

Zhang Guiduan sat on the horse, condescendingly watching the situation on the battlefield.Seeing that the Japanese pirates besieged the barbarian horse army with seven phalanxes, although the other eight phalanxes still maintained the formation of "hanging chariot formation", five of them gradually shifted to the right wing, and only one center army phalanx and the left wing two The seat phalanx remains in its original position.After a long battle, Zhang Gui saw how the Japanese pirates had arranged their troops, and knew that after the Japanese pirates were determined to wipe out the barbarian horse army, they would attack Laowengshan in a big way. Therefore, even though they sent seven phalanxes to besiege the barbarian horse army, they still worried about being killed. Manzi broke out of the encirclement and fled, and quietly moved the five phalanxes to the right wing to prevent Manzi from escaping.It's just that the time has not come yet, and there are already five phalanxes surrounding the barbarian horse army. If more than ten thousand Japanese pirates are thrown into the fight, I'm afraid they won't be able to use it. Therefore, the Japanese pirate leader didn't order the whole army to attack, but just watched. Waiting for the time.Although these Japanese pirates did not join the battle group, the barbarian horse army has been trapped by the Japanese pirates, and it is more difficult to break out of the siege than to ascend to the sky.

Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu are determined to rescue the Manzi from the siege, let them retreat to the foot of the old man's mountain, lean on the hill with their backs, and deal with the Japanese pirates again.It's just that Zhang Gui refused to send troops, and the two wanted to save people, but they were powerless.Seeing that the Japanese army had reversed the situation and surrounded the barbarian horse army heavily, Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu were anxious, and were about to ask Zhang Gui for orders again, but Xu Yingyang gave him a hard look.The two were startled, and Xu Yingyang shook his head slowly, signaling them not to speak.

At this time, Zhang Gui suddenly heard loudly saying: "The Japanese pirates moved heavily to the right wing, and the two phalanxes on the left wing were fully prepared to guard against the enemy's attack from the south. The Japanese pirate leader must be in the central phalanx. Brothers, let's fight The Chinese army, who kills the chief general of the Japanese pirates, will be rewarded with [-] silver! Kill!"

As soon as Zhang Gui finished speaking, he held the rein tightly with his left hand, lifted the big knife upside down with his right hand, stepped on the pedals tightly with both feet, and slammed the horse's belly hard.Li Chengliang and others also rushed out one after another, followed closely behind Zhang Gui, and charged straight down the mountain.

Li Qiufeng finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Gui leading the army to kill the Japanese pirates.At this time, his heart is clear, he knows that Zhang Gui has been holding back, not because he is afraid of the enemy, but because he knows that the Japanese pirates are numerous and powerful. Even if he leads hundreds of elite soldiers to rescue the barbarians, it is not enough to defeat the Japanese pirates. Backlash.In this way, not only will the barbarian be unable to be rescued, but he will also be killed by the Japanese pirates.So Zhang Gui made up his mind to use thousands of barbarian horse troops as bait to trick the Japanese pirate general into besieging the barbarian horse army with heavy troops. Capture or kill.If the Japanese pirates lose their coach, they will surely become a mess. Zhang Gui can gather the barbarian horse army and his elite officers and soldiers to defeat the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.Zhang Gui's strategy is not ingenious, but he just sat and watched the hundreds of minions in Heifengzhai wiped out and refused to send troops to rescue them, and sent thousands of barbarians to death, completely disregarding the lives of others. It's ruthless to the extreme.Li Qiufeng is also a ruthless person, but compared with Zhang Gui, he can only feel inferior.

After Zhang Gui led Li Chengliang and others rushed down the mountain, hundreds of officers and soldiers followed closely behind, rushing straight down the mountain like a turbid stream.After all the officers and soldiers rushed down to the top of the mountain, Xu Yingyang walked up to Li Qiufeng and said, "Master Zhang has already made up his mind, Li Baihu and Mr. Qi's words of persuasion can only make Mr. Zhang feel disgusted. So Xu stopped him." Li Baihu and Mr. Qi, so that they will not have a dirty life with Mr. Zhang."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "It's ashamed to say that Li never thought that Mr. Zhang had plans. If Mr. Xu hadn't stopped him, Li would have made a fool of himself in front of everyone, leaving nothing but a laughing stock."

Xu Yingyang shook his head, and said: "After Xu broke into the Japanese pirates' lair from Wangjiazhuang along the secret road, he met Mr. Zhang. Afterwards, he looked on coldly and guessed Mr. Zhang's intentions, so he didn't persuade him to send troops to rescue Barbarian. In fact, it’s no wonder that Mr. Zhang’s heart is as hard as a stone. Since the Tumu Fortress War, the imperial court has transferred all the elite soldiers from outside the pass back to the pass to defend the capital. Only some old and weak soldiers were left under the command of the Liaodong General Army. The land and the people are so barren that they are not even as good as chicken ribs. It is better to abandon the defense as soon as possible. Just guard the Shanhaiguan Pass to keep the pass safe. If it hadn’t been for Yu Qian’s manpower to reconsider, I am afraid that the places outside the pass would not have been owned by Ming Dynasty. Mr. Zhang went to work outside the pass Liaodong General Soldier, with few generals, can only take five or six hundred officers and soldiers with him when he goes south to deal with the Japanese pirates. With such a small force, it will be more difficult to defeat the Japanese pirates. Mr. Zhang has no choice but to I can only plan painstakingly, avoiding the truth, and making up my mind to capture the king first. The Japanese invaded across the sea, and when they arrived in Dongliao County, a place where they were not familiar with their lives, they could only march under the restraint of the commanding generals. Fighting. Once the main general is captured and killed, although the Japanese pirates have a large number of people, they will surely end up in a complete defeat."

After Xu Yingyang finished speaking, Li Qiufeng nodded in agreement.Qi Jiu hesitated and said: "Master Zhang's team of officers and soldiers is very tough, but I saw that most of the officers and soldiers were not holding knives, but holding a strangely shaped short stick, and some officers and soldiers were holding a cylinder on the horse. How can a sergeant fight against Japanese pirates without a knife or a gun in battle?"

Xu Yingyang smiled slightly after hearing what Qi Jiu had said, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Qi doesn't know, these two strange things are more powerful than a big knife. The strange-shaped short stick is called the three-eyed gun. Compared with ordinary bird guns, although it can only fire projectiles twenty or thirty feet away, it can load three barrels at a time and can fire three times in a row. It is much more powerful than ordinary bird guns. It is said that the three-eyed gun was created by a Crafted by skilled craftsmen, they were handed over to the Shenji Battalion of the three major battalions in the capital and the officers and soldiers of the guards in the nine border towns. Later, the Han king Zhu Gaoxu conspired against him, and the spies he sent to the capital and the nine border towns spent a lot of money to get a lot of three-eyed guns. It was used by the rebels. Although Emperor Xuande personally conquered the rebels, Zhu Gaoxu's cronies captured him and surrendered to Emperor Xuande before the two sides fought. Falling into the hands of people with ulterior motives would definitely lead to catastrophe, so an imperial decree was promulgated, asking the guards all over the country to send all the three-eyed guns to the capital for use by the Shenji camp. If anyone dares to keep the three-eyed guns privately Those who conspired against each other would have to be ransacked and exterminated."
