Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 166 Capture Ma Xianglin Alive

The sudden killing of the officers and soldiers made Zhu Gan look happy. If the officers and soldiers stood aside and remained indifferent, then he would naturally have nothing to do. Now that the officers and soldiers move, there will be openings.

Gradually, he discovered some abnormalities. Although the number of officers and soldiers in front of him was small, they were all elites. They looked at the red-clothed army with extremely unfriendly eyes, as if they had revenge for killing their father.

Zhu Gan took a closer look at the leading general, and saw that he was dressed in silver armor, sitting on a white horse, wearing a blindfold, and missing one eye. Instead of making him look scary and gloomy, it added a bit of heroism. It made Zhu Qian think of one person, Ma Xianglin, who has the reputation of "Zhao Zilong" and "Little Ma Chao".

This is to avenge Qin Liangyu, Zhu Qian knew it in his heart, but now is not the time to be impulsive, nor is it the time to fight Ma Xianglin openly, so he immediately led the troops and ran quickly.

When Ma Xianglin saw the red-clothed army turned around and ran away, he immediately charged forward, leaving the army behind him far behind, and chased and killed the red-clothed army with all his might. Book, such a person is naturally extremely proud, and this pride has already made him lose his mind for revenge.

When Zhu Gan saw this, he was overjoyed and deliberately slowed down the horse's speed. As the saying goes, capture the king first, as long as Ma Xianglin is captured, this stone pillar soldier will lose its backbone and its combat strength will be greatly reduced.

Ma Xianglin used a long spear weighing more than 30 kilograms. The head of the spear was made of fine steel. himself, but the next moment he fell into the siege of the red army.

Gradually, he also felt that his heart was more than enough and his strength was not enough. Whenever he raised his spear to stab, there would always be several people fighting back. The cooperation between the red-clothed army was quite tacit, and they were not afraid of death at all, which made it difficult for him to make meritorious deeds for a while.

"You have a certain degree of confidence in your shot." Zhu Gan said to the young man beside him.

Sitting on the horse, he looked indifferent, frowned slightly, and said: "If you capture him alive, you can be sure of three points, if you kill him, you have seven points."

"Okay, then capture him alive. I don't want the battle in Sichuan. All the people who can fight in the Qin family will die." Zhu Gan said with a somewhat lonely expression. This is a painful process that must be experienced. If there is no death, where did it come from? newborn.

However, he can minimize such pain. Qin Liangyu is loyal to the country, at least he must let the people in charge of the Ma family live, even if they are worthless.

Ma Xianglin was entangled by people, but the anger and violence in his heart became more and more high, and the spears in his hands danced more and more quickly, and he no longer reserved his spare power. It was a completely desperate style of fighting. The red-clothed army immediately suffered heavy casualties and was quite sleepy. Can't help his pain.

Just as he was on the verge of killing, he saw a sword coming towards him quickly. Ma Xianglin raised his gun to block it, as if he had collided with the shadow of the sword, but the next moment he realized that this was just his illusion, the sword had already been stabbed, so What I saw was just an afterimage, and there was a crisp sound, the breastplate on his chest was cracked, the person was soaring high and fell off the horse, he was trying to fight back with his gun, suppressing the tightness in his chest. A sword pierced right at his throat, and a slight movement could kill him.

Ma Xianglin raised his eyes and saw a boy sitting calmly on the horse. He could even clearly see the young hair on the boy's lips, but he was defeated in one move. He was defeated by a boy whose name he didn't know. Looking around, he saw that his soldiers were left far behind by him.

If it is really heaven, it is still forgiven, and self-inflicted crimes cannot be lived, but he never regretted it, and said coldly: "Do it! Either kill me, or I will kill all of you."

Ma Xianglin had just killed so many red-clothed soldiers, and now he was captured alive, all of them stared at him fiercely, wishing to tear him into pieces and avenge his brothers.

Zhu Gance came right away, just glanced at him quietly, and then said in a cold voice: "Huh! I want to die. General Qin was a hero. He never thought of committing suicide until he died. You are determined to go your own way. Now that you are caught, you will seek death. You are not sacrificing your life for your country, you are just a coward avoiding pain, and you really humiliated your mother's face."

In the 13th year of the Zhen Dynasty, Luo Rucai returned to Sichuan. Qin Liangyu led Ma Xianglin to chase him to Xiansiling. The people were too frightened to go west.

Later, Ma Xianglin stood firm in Xiangyang, and Zhang Xianzhong died for the country after the city was broken.Before he died, he wrote a letter to his mother: "My son vows to live and die with Xiangyang, and I hope that adults will not worry about my son's safety!" Qin Liangyu's reply letter only had one sentence: "Yes! Yes! Really my son!"

The two mother and son are heroes, if Zhu Qian hadn't appeared, and Qin Liangyu had died to destroy the Red Clothes Army, Ma Xianglin would have died in battle in Xiangyang City, and now he was captured alive. Decadence continues, perhaps committing suicide in a fit of anger.

As soon as Zhu Gan's aggressive method came out, it really had some effect, and he said in a cold voice: "Humph! But as long as I don't die, I will avenge my mother's revenge, you bastard, wash your neck and wait! Hahaha! Hahaha! "

Zhu Gan shook his head and led the red-clothed army back to fight back. Now the main general is captured. Although the white-armed soldiers are unparalleled, they are private armed forces after all. They suddenly lost their backbone and their morale plummeted. Fleeing in defeat.

"Sun Chengzong made a foolish move!" Zhu Qian looked at the retreating white soldiers, thinking with emotion in his heart.

But not long after, he denied this idea. Ma Xianglin was bent on revenge. If he was not allowed to vent the hatred in his heart, such a general would be very dangerous to use. These unstable factors will still be removed. After all, there is a powerful and unstable time bomb around him. It is difficult to feel at ease, and it will only involve more military forces.

Now that I have captured Ma Xianglin, this army of white soldiers is without the chieftain. Although there is no one who can command them and can no longer exert the power of the white soldiers, after all, with these people, it can barely be regarded as a team. combat power.

Now, without any effort, this unstable factor will be removed. Not only will the generals below not say anything, but they will also praise Sun Chengzong's humanity and avenge his mother. What a good excuse.

Such a business that is calculated carefully and never loses money made Zhu Qian see Sun Chengzong's sophistication in using troops, shook his head, put aside his fear of Sun Chengzong, what he has to do now is to make a decision, and take advantage of the military power of victory in the first battle , Going forward, or waiting to meet up with the red army brigade behind.

The officers and generals watching from a distance, watching the majestic Ma Xianglin, rushing left and right among the red-clothed cavalry, as if entering the land of no one, felt extremely happy in their hearts, and cheered again and again, the red-clothed army also That's all, but what the generals didn't expect was that the situation reversed so quickly.

With just one strike, Ma Xianglin was knocked off his horse. When the young man drew his sword, his serious and majestic expression kept echoing in their minds, frightening and frightening. How many years did the boy practice to reach such a terrifying level.

What happened next was hard to see directly. Ma Xianglin was captured, the morale of the white soldiers fell to the bottom, no matter how hard it was to support the ravages of the powerful red cavalry, they were divided and surrounded, and then they fled in defeat.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Tang Biao said with a heavy heart: "White soldiers are definitely ranked among the top five in this world, but now they are being torn apart like this by the red-clothed soldiers, it is really chilling."

Li Mingyang said with a cold smile: "Nowadays, how many strong armies are there in the world? Although Jurchen Jiannu is a foreign race, I have to say that they are really strong. That's because of simplicity, and there are several strong generals. In my opinion, Da Ming, The Guanning iron cavalry is the first to be promoted, among which there are several generals who can fight. Looking at Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army, there is only Lu Xiangsheng alone. Looking at the white soldiers, they are nothing more than Qin Liangyu. Without Qin Liangyu and other generals, there will be no battle Can a powerful army be called a strong army? It just depends on individual bravery."

"One raging soldier, one raging general. If I want to train soldiers, I should train generals like the red-clothed army. Only when the generals below are strong can this army be truly strong." Li Mingyang said in high spirits. , the divine light in his eyes flickered, making people dare not look at him closely.

Looking at the look in Li Mingyang's eyes, Tang Biao knew very well that this was ambition. His ambition was originally to protect his beloved sister, but now it has gradually deteriorated. It is very dangerous to regard the world as a battlefield for his ambition. , quickly changed the subject and said, "Tell me, what should I do next."

"What else can I do, withdraw my troops! My soldiers are not used to die with the red army, so that people can reap the benefits." Li Mingyang showed a mocking look at the corner of his mouth.

Tang Biao felt that Li Mingyang's state was very wrong. In the past, he would think over and over again everything he did and said, and he must be very decent. Now if he said such a thing, if Sun Chengzong heard it, it would be tantamount to being with him. The court directly turned against it.

Seeing Tang Biao hesitate to speak, Li Mingyang waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I have endured for so long and I am still sitting in a wheelchair, which means that my patience is still there. Yi Jun is so powerful, I just have some feelings, it is inevitable that I am a little frivolous, but the officers and soldiers have to withdraw their troops now."

Sure enough, Yiqi rushed forward, delivered Sun Chengzong's order, and also explained some reasons for retreating: "The imperial court takes pity on the people. The long-term war has made the people miserable. At this time, they plan to temporarily suspend the army and rest with the people. It's time to train well, and after the autumn harvest, we will wipe out the red-clothed thieves."

Li Mingyang handed the note in his hand to Tang Biao, and said with a sneer, "This abacus is really well done. You gave me a poisoned date and forced me to swallow it. It's really shameless to look grateful."
