Chapter 296: The Ambush in the Chaos of Ming Dynasty (1)

The three miles west of Pingliang Prefecture is the main battlefield for the decisive battle between the government and the Hui army. The cavalry sent by Mao Wuchen did not play much role, and nearly 70% fell into the pit that the Hui army had already dug. Many uninjured cavalrymen were submerged by the government infantry that rushed up from behind before they could get up.

Ma Tengyao had outstanding plans. He ordered the return troops to dig countless hidden pits at the west gate of Pingliang City by using the night cover, and ambushed 5,000 elite soldiers here. When the Pingliang guard Wan Cairen took two thousand city guards to the west gate to respond, he was seized by the ambushed troops here. Ma Dezhi took the ambush and cut off the retreat of Pingliang reinforcements while taking the opportunity to break through the city gate.

Some of the defenders of Pingliang City were sent to Jingzhou by Mao Wuchen, and some of them were receiving the retreating official army. At this time, the city defense was extremely weak. Then Ma Dezhong led the seven thousand troops to rush into Pingliang City, and controlled the entire Pingliang City without much effort. Seeing that the retreat was completely cut off, Mao Wuchen was suddenly desperate. He knew very well in his heart that Mao Wuchen could not surrender, and the court would not hold him accountable for his failure in the battle.

Looking at the crowds of people returning to the army, Shaanxi General Mao Wuchen no longer hesitated and led his servants to charge towards the army. The Ming official army, who had lost their firearms, faced several times his return army, desperate to fight for one and two to earn one, and started a final battle with the army.

This battle with no hope was not until Mao Wuchen was shot with arrows by Ma Tenghui, which declared that the battle was completely over. The entire army was wiped out, killing 13,000 people in battle, and more than 7,000 were injured and captured. Although the Hui army won a great victory, Mao Wuchen led the official army's final counterattack caused more than 50,000 casualties to the Hui army. This made Ma Tengyao dispel the idea of ​​continuing to attack Jingzhou, and then collected enough food and grass in Pingliang Prefecture to retreat to Ningxia Guard.

While the Ming Dynasty's official army was fighting with the Hui army in full swing, the Po Nu Army, who was outside the northern pass of the Ming Dynasty, did not make any big moves. Their commander Zhang Ping'an was busy training the troops to hold a large-scale training.

The General Zhang of the Pou Nu Army issued a commander: Each unit of the Pou Nu Army selected the best cavalry, muskets, gunners, swords and shields, and crossbows to participate in the competition held in Pingrong City, and set up military meritorious generals for the top three of the competitions. At that time, Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army, will personally participate in the competition of muskets and crossbows.

This competition was the largest since the Ponu Army was formed. Each competition sent 30 soldiers or officers in this field. In order to increase the chances of Mr. Zhang's performance, the General Staff of the Ponu City specially added a handgun competition.

The General Zhang of the Possess Army first watched the improved war drum marching exercise at the Pingrong City School. When he was stationed in the Wutianxing headquarters in Pingrong City, he walked out of the army in an orderly manner according to the drum command, as well as attack and defensive battle formations. Zhang Ping'an was very satisfied and praised the training of the Wutianxing headquarters. He knew very well that the Wutianxing headquarters could make the military formation so neatly, and other troops whose combat power was higher than that of the Wutianxing headquarters, such as Chen Zheng, Lu Deyin, Li Chen, Zhang Li, Hu Ming, Huang Zhi, Huang Wei, Liu Chong, Xu Liang and other troops must be stronger than him.

The troops including Lu Xiangsheng, Xu Zhen, Zhang Tong, Yu Guangcai, Qi Heng, Zhu Youqian and other troops, who had similar combat capabilities to Wu Tianxing's troops, should not be worse than him. In Zhang Ping'an's mind, the two mountain troops he personally trained, led by Tian Peng and Liu Qingshan, were in a better formation than all troops.

Regarding the upcoming competition, Zhang Ping'an was confident that he would win the top scorer of muskets, crossbow arrows and hand guns, because these three types of weapons of the Slave-Breaking Army were designed by him personally. So when the crossbow arrow competition on the first day, Zhang Ping'an came on the field. Among the 1,000 officers and soldiers participating in the competition, he won the first place in one thousand, which made the thick-skinned Shuai Blush, and Shuai Zhang achieved the last good result.

In the subsequent competition of muskets and hand guns, Zhang Dashang was the last. The troops equipped with hand guns in the Po Nu Army were only personal barracks and mountain troops, so the number of participants was small. Among the 500 participants, Zhang Dashang once again achieved the last good result. However, Zhang Ping'an was still very happy, which showed that he did not participate in the competition. Moreover, the officers and soldiers of the Po Nu Army were usually trained hard.

During the assassination competition, Qian Mingrong, the coach of the Po Nu Army's personal barracks, led the personal barracks to beat the elite soldiers and generals selected by each department to run away with their heads, which aroused a burst of thoughts from Marshal Zhang.

Five months ago, Xu Yian went to Huaian Prefecture, Nanzhili to set up Yinguangju Yinzhuang. He took 130 servants dressed in the Possess Army and sat on two official boats sent by Duke Wei. Under the banner of Duke Wei, he walked north along the canal under Gaoyouzhou, Yangzhou Prefecture, and saw lunch, they settled in Zhangjiagou for dinner. Xu Yian chose a restaurant not far from the canal, and threw out a Possess City gold coins and six silver coins, asking the waiter to prepare meals for more than 100 people.

The gold and silver coins made in Ponucheng have become popular in Nanzhili, and Ming merchants like to use Ponucheng gold and silver coins very much. The restaurant shopkeeper saw a big deal and immediately called the guy to get busy. He personally posed for the young noble man wearing a green silk robe to make tea. Xu Yian was filled with food in front of him.

Before Xu Yian took a few bites, someone else took a knife outside the hotel. Xu Yian had been in Nanzhili for quite some time, and at first glance he could tell that the two sides of the attack were seeking revenge in the world. Zhang Dashui, the Po Slave Army, usually likes to spread gossip, which made him contagious to his hobby. Xu Yian was also attracted by the bloody gossip of seeking revenge in the world. He sat at the door of the hotel with a long bench, holding a rice bowl in his hand, chewing the Dongpo pork that had just entered his mouth, and applauded from time to time to watch the battle.

A young man in a blue cloth suit, holding a three-foot iron knife, fought against seven or eight heroes holding various weapons. Facing the strong enemy, this young man in blue, was not afraid of him. Behind him was a beautiful pregnant woman, and he was standing against the tofu shop front to confront the enemy.

Xu Yian saw that the young man in blue was seventeen or eighteen years old, with bright eyes and two inches of short beard on his chin. He slightly put his right hand in his arms and held the knife forward, and his left hand held the right hand of a beautiful pregnant woman in his 16 or seventeen years behind him, with solid steps on his feet. This young man made a knife very strange. As long as a hero in the martial arts world is not careful, he will be stabbed by an iron knife stabbed from an incredible angle.

When a monk who looked like a crescent-shaped iron Zen stick approached him, the young man used a knife to chop the monk's sword and cut the sword to the monk's neck. The monk raised the Zen stick and blocked it with force. The iron knife suddenly changed to the side and slid a little flesh on the monk's shoulder. Seeing this, Xu Yian slapped again to cheer for the young man in blue, which angered the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the swords were about to threaten Xu Yian, but the swords were immediately rushed out of the hotel. Some of them held four-foot broken slave soldiers' standard swords, and some of them held handguns in both hands, quickly surrounding these martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the heroes of the martial arts and the swords were about to threaten Xu Yian.

The soldiers of the Pou Nu Army had a very bad impression of the heroes of the world. Their respectable and lovely Marshal Zhang was plotted against by the heroes of the world. Just waiting for Xu Yian to give the order, these heroes of the world would die. At this time, Xu Yian slowly stood up: "I said you guys are so shameless, so many people beat one. If you are on the ground one by one, I really don't care about your bad things!"

The Pou Nu Army wanted to do business in the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Yian didn't want to make trouble in the world. Therefore, when it comes to things like seeking revenge in the world, it is okay to read gossip, but there is no need to make a comeback.

At this time, an old man with a white beard and holding a rattan pole walked up to Xu Yian and bowed: "This young man asked me! Here is Nailujiang (author's note: Lujiang is today Hefei City) Huntian stick Huang Tianshou. This man is named Qian Mingrong, who is a scum in the martial arts world. He is a master disciple of the Iron Knife Sect but seduces the wife of the head of the sect. The head of the Iron Knife Sect is his uncle. Qian Mingrong has taken this * to rebel from the Iron Knife Sect. The Iron Knife Sect issued a killing order for the rivers and lakes, asking the heads of the two adulterers. My heroes in the martial arts world are very wise to eliminate harm for the people. Unexpectedly, this evil man has a strong martial arts skills, and has killed and injured more than 50 heroes who chased them. It is just because his martial arts skills are too strong, we have to join forces to kill this traitor in the martial arts world."

Xu Yian didn't want to care about this matter at first, but when he heard Huang Tianshou say that Qian Mingrong was so capable, Xu Yian's idea changed again. Zhang Dashen's personal guards were all good at battlefields, but if he was fighting alone, he was not a match for the gangsters in the world. Qian Mingrong was very skilled in martial arts, and he had to stay in Daming with his beautiful master's wife whom he seduced.

If Qian Mingrong defected to the Ponu Army, with the ability of Zhang Dashui to win people's hearts, he would definitely be able to impartially train a guardian for the Ponu Army. As for Qian Mingrong's statement, this is a big event in the Ming Dynasty, and it is just a good topic of gossip for Zhang Dashui.

Thinking of this, Xu Yian asked the soldiers of the Ponu Army to invite Qian Mingrong, the adulterer, into the hotel, and asked the Ponu Army to surround Huang Tianshou and a group of heroes from the world. Qian Mingrong is not a smart person. When he saw Xu Yian's attitude, he understood that this gorgeously dressed young man was going to stand up for him. He secretly guessed that this must be the child of a noble family in Shuntian Mansion, and wanted to play with it out of curiosity.

Qian Mingrong took the woman he seduced and knelt down to Xu Yian as soon as he entered the hotel: "Thank you, my son for help! I have no choice but to repay you. I am willing to lead the horse and kick it to the young master to fulfill it!"

Now it was Xu Yian's turn to be surprised. Before he could recruit Qian Mingrong, Qian Mingrong took the initiative to post it. Then, Xu Yian smiled casually. It seemed that Qian Mingrong was desperate in the Ming Dynasty and wanted to sell himself to find a place to settle down.

"Oh! I'll let you go anywhere?"

"As long as I can take my woman away from this place of failure, I will rely on the instructions of the young master!"

"I'll ask you to surrender to the Po Slave Army, and you'll go too?"

Qian Mingrong was very smart. He could immediately hear Xu Yian's implicit meaning. If he could really join the heroes of the Ming Dynasty in the Ponu Army, he would really not have the courage to make trouble in the Ponu Army's territory, the safety of his life and his woman would definitely be guaranteed.

There is morality in the world, and both sides will not harm their family members when seeking revenge. It is widely rumored that the general of the Slave Army of the Destroyed Slave Army Zhang Ping'an was narrow-minded, and Li Fei Li Xunhuan had already left the Fei Dao Sect. When Li Xunhuan assassinated Zhang Dao and was captured on the spot. Zhang Dao, who was vindictive, actually sent a large army to arrest all four hundred old men and weak men in the Fei Dao Sect. It is said that even the baby in the cradle was not spared and was beheaded in Ping'an City.

"As long as the young master lets me continue, I will definitely go!" (To be continued)
