Chapter 696 The Second Marshal in Shuzhong
Yu Desheng walked out of the woods, looked at the fight at the posthouse, and thought that Ma Jing's arrangement was safe.

The killing formation formed by 300 people against Zhang Jue was a net of heaven and earth, and there was nowhere to escape.

Li Xia also happened to join the network.

If it weren't for the Sichuan Zhizhi envoy and Zhizhi deputy envoy to hide in this post house outside the city for secret discussions, I'm afraid there would not be such a good opportunity.

What killed them was their conspiracy and ambition.

"Being burdened by the country's grace, why are you unwilling to loyally protect the country of the king of the Song Dynasty? It's really greedy for profit..."

Yu Desheng sighed softly, and felt sorry for personally destroying the two most accomplished generals of the younger generation of Song Dynasty today.

But this is the position, rebellion, absolutely cannot be tolerated.

"Oh!"

Something was thrown at the gate of the post house, and then there was a loud bang, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

More than a hundred elite soldiers from the Song army from Chongqing attacked the gate, and more than a dozen of them were entering in a single file, and five or six of them were knocked down by the bomb...

Yu Desheng narrowed his eyes.

It was far away, but he could tell it was supposed to be a Thunderbolt.

Not unusual.

The problem is that the Thunderbolt Cannon does not hurt people with iron pieces, it seems to rely solely on the power of gunpowder.

Thinking of Jia Sidao's reminder, Yu Desheng already understood many things.

"It really is him, the evil minister of the ages..."

~~
"Oh!"

Five or six thunderbolt cannons were thrown one after another, forcing the soldiers of Ningjiang Army to dare not attack the gate head-on.

After that, more than [-] people rushed out from the gate.

Ma Jing stood there holding a bow and crossbow, his eyes were even more murderous.

He saw that Zhang Jue was in the formation of 20 people, each of them was holding a big axe, and he rushed directly to meet the Ningjiang army with more than a hundred people.

Ma Jing knew that Zhang Jue had an army of axes, and he often entered the enemy's line as a vanguard during battles. Every time it had a miraculous effect, he really saw it today.

But there are only more than twenty people.

"Surround them!"

Ma Jing let out a loud roar, and turned his gaze elsewhere.

Sure enough, there was another explosion in the north of the posthouse.

Then there was a hissing, Ma Ming.

"Report!"

"General, more than twenty cavalry rushed out of the back door. They used thunderbolt cannons to clear the way, but they couldn't block it for a while..."

Ma Jing sneered, knowing that Li Xia must have left from the north.

It doesn't matter, manpower has already been arranged on the official road.

He commanded dozens of soldiers to surround Zhang Jue, and then divided some troops to surround Li Xia in the north...

So what about the two handsome men?Today, they will all die in his hands.

~~
"Capture the head of the thief!"

Zhang Jue didn't command too much, raised his hand and only shouted this sentence.

It is true that there are less than 20 people left under his command.

However, he has been in the army for nearly 20 years, what kind of battle has he not seen?

Going out of the gate of the posthouse and looking at the distribution of the enemy's troops, Zhang Jue immediately knew who the commander was and where he was commanding.

Because, he is very clear about the terrain around the post house.

It's not that an enemy attack is expected, but because the generals will naturally keep the terrain in their minds whenever they go.

Zhang Jue was even aware of the strength and command of the opponent's troops at this moment.

The enemy in front of him is really strong, and should be elite.

In the territory of Chengdu, there is only one foreign army recently, that is, the Ningjiang Army of Chongqing Prefecture, brought by Ma Jing, the son of Ma Qian.

Ningjiang's elite army cannot be defeated by 20 people. If they want to win, they can only kill Ma Jing first...

Zhang Jue made a judgment almost instantly.

And with this judgment, it is to kill the enemy.

Zhang Jue was the one who rushed out the fastest, and the Ningjiang soldiers on the opposite side were stunned by the thunderbolt cannon. Before the crossbow arrows could be shot, Zhang Jue's big ax had already slammed down.

When a weapon like an ax is struck on a person's head, white and red will immediately splatter.

"what!"

"Kill the past!"

Behind Zhang Jue were his personal guards, each holding a big axe and a round shield, all of them looked fierce.

There were only 20 of them, but they still lined up separately, as if they were fighting on the battlefield.

However, there were more than a hundred people from the Ningjiang army in front of the post house, and they also surrounded them directly.

"Puff puff……"

~~
Ma Jing didn't pay much attention to Zhang Jue's fight.

He is very busy.

I have heard the sound of horseshoes on the north side of the posthouse. Li Xia must have fled with his men on horseback, and some troops must be sent to surround them.

People should also be sent to search the post house to see if Li Xia is still hiding in it.

The Qingbai River in the south and the Mianyuan River in the east must also be guarded, otherwise Li Xia will jump into the water and escape...

Originally, 300 people besieging and killing Zhang Jue was a sure thing, and they didn't even need 300 people. The reason why Ma Jing brought him was because he was afraid that Zhang Jue would escape into the Longquan Mountains, or that the garrison in Jintang County happened to be nearby. in case.

He does things very steadily.

Moreover, Ma Jing also recognized Zhang Jue. Today, if Li Xia hadn't happened to be there, Ma Jing could have directly ordered 300 people to surround him at this time, like an iron bucket.

With Li Xia here, this is an excellent opportunity.But no one under Ma Jing's command recognized Li Xia, so he could only expand the encirclement so that no one could escape.

If there is any trouble, there is only one thing, Li Xia and his personal guards seem to be very good at equestrianism.

Listening to the sound of the horse's hooves, Ma Jing faintly felt that the opposite direction was going north very fast.

Suddenly, he turned his head and listened.

"Li Xia wants to flee to the west! Surround me!"

"Yes……"

More than a dozen people who entered the posthouse to search and control the horses, more than [-] people guarding the direction of Qingbai River and Mianyuan River, more than [-] people guarding him, and more than [-] people who met Zhang Jue.

Then there were only 140 people left to chase and kill Li Xia.

Ma Jing glanced at the gate of the post house again.

Not long after, several of Zhang Jue's personal guards had fallen, and only twelve or three remained, who had changed to back-to-back defense.

Zhang Jue must die.

Ma Jing quickly mobilized another half of the people to surround the west side.

He directed well.

Although he was less than 30 years old at the time, he had followed Ma Qian to fight against Mongolia in Sichuan and Shu since he was a child, and his battlefield experience was not too bad.

Soon, readjust the encirclement circle.

At this point, Ma Jingfang had time to pay attention to Zhang Jue, and stepped forward with a bow and crossbow, walked outside the encirclement, looked around, and found a stone to stand on.

"Zhang Jue, you intend to rebel, but you still have to resist?! Let me tell you, the imperial court has sent..."

suddenly,

Ma Jing turned his head and looked north, with surprise in his eyes.

He could already see that the fleeing cavalry were heading north, then west, and after making a big circle, they turned around and rushed towards this direction...

~~
Li Zeyi is riding the horse at the forefront.

Because he is the best at riding.

And the knights around him are far inferior to him, unable to shoot arrows while galloping.

As for the Thunderbolt Cannon, they couldn't light it right away, and they didn't bring many, only two for each person.

Then there is no need for long-range attacks, just rush to kill.

Li Zeyi held a hammer to the head and stared at Ma Jing's figure.

When he made a detour to the west, he had already seen who the enemy was in command.

Because Li Zeyi was originally a general, not a pawn.

Today, we must make a contribution.

……

The horseshoes are rushing, and the two sides are getting closer.

Li Zeyi's eyes became more and more murderous.

He wasn't afraid at all.

300 people surrounded more than [-] riders?
This is the Chengdu Plain. On the plain, once the horses run away, no matter how many pawns come to surround them, they will not be able to surround them.

In the past 20 years, the Mongols have used this advantage to kill the Song army with blood.

How did Yu Jie fight?Build a base to defend Shu.

How did Li Xia fight?lure the enemy into an ambush

Today, some people don't learn a lesson, and if the Mongolian cavalry is gone, can they run wild in this plain?
~~
"Bend over!"

Li Zeyi and Lu Xiaoyou roared at the same time.

Arrows were already shot from the opposite side, and two people were injured and fell off their horses.

But they also rushed closer.

"kill!"

Li Zeyi roared and raised his head hammer high...

"Stop them!"

Ma Jing shouted and glanced quickly, but couldn't tell who Li Xia was.

Yu Guangzhong saw that Yu Desheng had fled, but he couldn't control it.

"Stop them! We have more troops!"

Ma Jing shouted, raised his crossbow, and buckled it at a knight rushing towards him, hitting the opponent's shoulder.

After that, he abandoned his crossbow and quickly fled to the posthouse.

"Kill him!" Li Zeyi yelled, and chased after him.

……

But Lu Xiaoyou didn't chase after him, turned his head to look, and shouted: "Zhang Mao!"

He slapped his horse hard, and without hesitation rammed into the Ningjiang army who were surrounding Zhang Jue.

The speed of the horse was so fast that he couldn't control it.

"Oh!"

Several Ningjiang soldiers were knocked to the ground, and Lu Xiaoyou was also thrown to the ground.

He swung his knife quickly and cut down several enemies who rushed forward, and the horses were on top of him.

The next moment, a long sword swept across, and Li Xia had already led people into the formation.

"Big guy!"

Lu Xiaoyou tried his best to push the horse corpse on his body, only to feel blood dripping from his head...

~~
Over there, before Ma Jing fled to the gate of the post house, he looked back and saw several cavalrymen rushing behind him.

A head hammer was raised high.

Ma Jing and the knight on the horse looked at each other, feeling the incomparable enthusiasm in each other's eyes.

Inexplicable.

Ma Jing couldn't understand this inexplicable fanaticism.

Today, he came to kill.

But for some reason, it suddenly fell to this point.

300 people didn't have much loss at all, but no one could come to rescue him.

why?
"Li Xia actually used the tactics of the Mongols, this rebellion..."

Ma Jing's eyes darkened.

"Oh!"

Li Zeyi didn't care what Ma Jing was thinking, and slammed down the head hammer.

He got off his horse, pulled out his saber, and beheaded Ma Jing.

"This is outside the city of Chengdu, Yimapingchuan, you, a Song general, came to fight me in the field?"

"puff."

Blood spattered Li Zeyi's face, and he held up Ma Jing's head.

"The rebel has been awarded the head!"

At this time, there were only about [-] people who were still besieging and killing Zhang Jue. When they turned their heads to look, they were also stunned.

"The traitor has been awarded the head! Do you still want to rebel?!"

"Shu Shuai is here! You can't turn back if you want to?!"

"Only kill the evil leader..."

"..."

~~
In the distance, some of the soldiers of the Ningjiang army who were still chasing Li Xia's cavalry and wanted to surround them had already chased after them, panting with exhaustion, and saw Ma Jing's head hanging high from afar.

Hearing the yell of "Would you like to turn back?", someone looked around, turned around and ran...

~~
Li Xia pierced through a Ningjiang soldier who was still attacking Zhang Jue with his sword, and kicked the corpse away.

Facing him, an ax struck.

"Tiger!"

When the wind broke, Li Xia dodged to avoid it, and shouted: "Zhang Jue! Look clearly!"

Zhang Jue looked like a crazy tiger. When he raised his head, he was taken aback for a moment, his face seemed to be smiling, but also crying.

Li Xia ignored him, ordered someone to collect the weapons, and prepared to deal with the situation.

Zhang Jue looked around and saw that he was kneeling among the corpses all over the ground.

"Sun Zhong... got up, and won again..."

He was covered in blood, and he patted those followers who fell on the ground one by one.

"Yang Laowu, get up..."

"Zhang Mao, get up, Zhang Mao..."

"..."

~~
Lu Xiaoyou pushed away the horse corpse and staggered forward.

He squatted down and pushed Zhang Mao's body.

"Little brother, I apologize to you. It's okay. I'll buy you a drink after the fight."

Zhang Mao didn't answer.

Lu Xiaoyou couldn't help but burst into tears.

Not long ago, he thought it was Zhang Jue who was going to besiege and kill the commander-in-chief, so he rushed to protect him as soon as his brain got hot, and he ran into Zhang Mao head-on.

"Step aside!"

"You want to kill Zhang..."

Lu Xiaoyou stepped forward and slapped him.

Just started, just as Li Xia and Zhang Jue came out to stop.

It is not difficult to stop drinking.

As long as Li Xia and Zhang Jue come out side by side, the subordinates will naturally understand.

However, Zhang Mao had already been slapped by Lu Xiaoyou.

Lu Xiaoyou also felt guilty for beating a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child.

But I don't want to, I don't even have a chance to make amends...

"Get up, you..."

Zhang Jue sat there listening to Lu Xiaoyou cry, and didn't speak for a long time.

He really didn't expect all of this today.

I never dreamed...

~~
Inside and outside the post house, only Li Xia was calm from beginning to end.

Today is not without danger.

If he was a little flustered or suspicious of Zhang Jue at the beginning of the attack, they would soon be decapitated.

The scene at that time could not stand their panic and suspicion.

For example, if they came out side by side one step later, the guards of both sides would have already fought, so why talk about resisting the enemy?

Just the slightest difference.

However, the two did react immediately and trusted each other.

Why?

This is troubled times.

If he wanted to protect his family, defend his country, and achieve great things, if he hadn't put personal life and death, honor and disgrace aside, then Zhang Jue could have surrendered as early as in Diaoyu City, and Li Xia could have escaped as early as in the celebration of the talisman.

This is troubled times.

Every day is dangerous.Some are closer, some are farther away. There are countless people who want to kill them, but their skills are not as good as them.If you only care about saving your life, you don't need to do anything else.

Li Xia and Zhang Jue, who live in this chaotic world, can still keep their ambitions and aspirations, and they really don't want to ask each other in anger because of an attack, "Do you want to kill me?"

Worrying, worrying about gains and losses?
They are not angry, so they can calm down.

Fighting is all about psychology.

When Zhang Jue said "you believe me", Li Xia only responded with one sentence.

"I know, defend against the enemy."

With only these two sentences, the two have come out side by side.

The rest is just a matter of 50 people fighting 300 people.

It was not the first time they had encountered an enemy six times stronger, so they were really not afraid.

There are firearms, horses, and morale available... Moreover, there is a big gap in the command level of the generals of the two sides.

~~
"Pfft!"

Yu Desheng jumped into the Qingbai River and swam eastward along the river.

He looked back and saw that no one was chasing him.

It was only then that I remembered that Li Xia and Zhang Jue didn't have many people together.

But just now when those cavalry rushed over, people forgot how many people there were in the enemy...

"The battlefield."

Yu Desheng sighed, and found that the battlefield was really beyond the comprehension of a scholar like himself.

The battlefield does not seem to only ask about the number of people and combat power, but more... seems to be people's hearts?

Li Xia and Zhang Jue were fearless in the face of danger, and even led the army to charge in person, so all the soldiers under their command were brave.On the other hand, Ma Jing panicked when he encountered an enemy.

No matter how elite the soldiers of the Ningjiang Army were, the main general panicked, fled, and died, so what...

"Ugh."

Thinking of this, Yu Desheng was full of annoyance and helplessness.

He didn't expect this battle to be lost so quickly.Speaking of which, Ma Jing's command is not bad, but unfortunately, he met Li Xia and Zhang Jue teaming up.

And the last time these two joined forces, they faced a Mongolian army of more than [-]...

~~
Yu Desheng didn't realize a more serious problem until he got up on the east bank of the Mianyuan River and twisted his clothes.

I thought there was nothing wrong with Zhang Jue today, but I'm afraid I've already scared the snake...

　This is the second time for the boss to reward the leader, thank you very much~~
