Liu Yan, the leader of the Xingyuan Road Rebel Army, suffered repeated defeats in field battles outside the city. He had lost all control over the surrounding countryside and counties, leaving only an isolated city. Although he still had 10,000 troops, he was defeated repeatedly in battles, and the morale of the army was in turmoil.
In addition, when King Ruyang came, he brought many martial arts masters with him, who could rush into the city at any time to conduct assassinations and sneak attacks.
Liu Yan's men lost many key members and fell into an extremely passive situation, which can be said to be in danger.
However, in recent days, many martial arts sects from Guanzhong and Bashu have also sent people to support Liu Yan.
At this time, Hanzhong was not only a place of pure war, but also a gladiatorial arena where various rivers and lakes forces fought. Wars occurred every day, and they were extremely bloody and cruel.
Xu Yin summoned everyone and said firmly: "In any case, the strategic significance of Hanzhong is very important. If the Yuan Dynasty captures it, it can go south to control Bashu.
With the money, food, and taxes in the Bashu land, we can still survive for a longer period of time, and the blood of our Han family will be wasted in vain. Therefore, in the battle on Xingyuan Road, I, Xu Yin, will definitely intervene!"
Nitta Gisuke and other warriors had been sitting on their knees behind Xu Yin. When they heard Xu Yin's plan, they all cheered. Nitta Gisuke spoke on his behalf: "My lord, the sword points, my subordinates will move forward bravely and never do anything."
Back off!"
Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu looked at these warriors with strange expressions. Through their interactions on the ship, they both knew that these warriors were conquered by Xu Yin from Japan and that their martial arts were very good.
However, this group of Japanese people's usually extremely obedient behavior always feels very weird and funny.
Xie Xun nodded and said: "Although Liu Yan, the leader of the Xingyuan Road Rebels, is not our Mingjiao leader, since he dares to raise an army to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, he is still a well-known hero.
The purpose of our religion is to expel the Tartars and restore China. When we see difficulties, we will naturally help you. Xie will go with you!"
Since Xie Xun said so, Zhang Cuishan and his wife will naturally not fall behind.
The only other force on the ship is the Tomb Faction.
The girl in yellow shirt said: "This battle is of great significance. No matter what, we cannot teach Yuan Ting to successfully counterattack. Our Ancient Tomb Sect is already recruiting nearby disciples."
As she spoke, she paused, laughed again, and said slightly teasingly: "Xia Daxia, you usually talk about the general trend of the world, but you also like to talk about military affairs in front of a little girl, and you hold Wu Mu's suicide note without letting go of it. Now you can't
I want to see you show your true skills."
…
The river ahead was locked, so Xu Yin and more than 50 people docked early. Non-combatants, such as craftsmen, temporarily stayed near the ship to wait.
The remaining forty or so people prepared their weapons and headed all the way towards Xingyuan Road.
On the road, we encountered Tatar stragglers who were sweeping around. The main task of these people was to collect common people to use as advance troops to attack the city. This was an old Tatar method that they never lost even when they conquered the world.
Xu Yin and others took advantage of the situation to launch several ambushes and captured dozens of high-quality war horses. They then moved faster, driving away and killing the Mongolian rangers along the way, while also not forgetting to inquire about the enemy's military situation.
At night, they came to a mountain col more than thirty miles away from Fucheng on Xingyuan Road. Everyone heard fierce fighting sounds coming from the mountain col.
Xu Yin immediately asked everyone to put out the torches, sneaked closer, and looked down the hillside.
But they saw about four to five hundred Mongolian elite cavalry, shooting around a hundred warriors with various equipment in the middle. There were also more than four hundred heavy armored infantry on the outside, surrounding a general and some monks.
The woman in yellow shirt frowned and said: "These people should be martial arts people who came to support Liu Yan after hearing the news. They seem to be people from the Emei Sect, Qingcheng Sect, Kongtong Sect, Beggar Clan, and Dajiang Clan."
In the encirclement, more than a hundred martial arts people were seen, using the corpses of Mongolian soldiers and shields to build an outer defense line, shrinking inward to resist.
However, the Mongolian elite cavalry fired rockets one after another, as densely as rain, but refused to engage in combat, leaving these martial arts warriors exhausted. They could only block and extinguish the fire while uttering provocative words.
Occasionally, there are impatient warriors who refuse to listen to dissuasion and rush out with their shields raised. If their light skills are not as fast as a galloping horse, they throw concealed weapons.
However, the Mongolian cavalry always kept their distance, and even throwing hidden weapons had little effect.
On the contrary, after leaving the team, the few people fighting alone will be immediately attacked by a wave of arrows from different directions.
Often a wave of arrows, even if it fails to kill a few good soldiers, will still injure them and make them unable to move.
At this time, several more cavalrymen rushed in from different directions with guns and knives, and several good warriors each used their own skills.
He leaped into the air with great qinggong skills, but he immediately became a target for the eagle shooter. He hit several arrows in mid-air and was instantly punished.
With strong skills, he halted his horse on the spot, and used his steel knife to charge the cavalry. Just as he cut off the spear head with one knife, another horse came running from the side, the scimitar passed by, and a huge head shot up into the sky. Another one died.
A famous martial artist.
There are also those who fire concealed weapons and throw javelins, but at most they can only take away one horse and die together. When dozens of horsemen come like a wall, they will either be skewered to death by lances or trampled to death by war horses.
When the other martial arts people in the circle saw this, their faces turned pale. They finally realized how powerful the battle formation of elite soldiers was, and their fighting methods were also very different from fighting in the rivers and lakes. They had no choice but to stick together and stick to it, not daring to go out easily to invite a fight.
Among this group of people, Miejie Shitai was naturally the most skilled in martial arts. Even she only looked sad and planned to die in battle to encourage everyone's morale.
"Hey, Old Nick is so embarrassed, why not just watch a good show." Xu Yin joked.
The girl in the yellow shirt glanced at him and said: "Master Xu, just watch the show slowly here. This little girl's martial arts skills are mediocre, but she also knows that her brother is hiding behind the wall to defend himself against his insults!"
He said that he would lead the disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect to fight out and directly capture the Yuan Ting general.
Xu Yin grabbed him and said, "I'm just kidding you."
He pointed to the enemy formation below and said to Hao Du: "Brother Hao, please bring all the guys we are preparing to fry on Binghuo Island."
Hao Du laughed and said: "Don't worry, Master Xu. The brothers have carefully preserved the gunpowder you have purified. Why, are you going to use it now?"
Xu Yin nodded and said: "Capture the thief first. Capture the king first. Later, I will trouble you, Brother Hao, and the other brothers to rush forward into the formation, tying the branches with their horsetails. Don't fight hard when taking over the formation. Throw the sky-shattering thunder immediately when you are about ten steps away!"
Miss Yang and I go straight to the formation, while Brother Xie Cuishan, Susu, and Xintian break into the formation together. Don't let the three hundred heavily armored elite troops return for reinforcements!"
Everyone took the order, and immediately led by Hao Du, they mounted their horses, holding long swords made of black iron, and rushed madly towards the three hundred heavy armored army formations waiting on the spot.
After Xu Yin forged the Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Sword, he forged the three weapons himself and still had a lot of materials left, so he forged the handy weapons for Hao Du, Huang Shinu and Nitta Yoshisuke respectively.
The Yuan Ting army was startled when they suddenly saw a group of men and horses approaching.
Because Hao Du and others had branches tied behind their horsetails, the dust stirred up when they ran, and they were far apart from each other, so General Meng Yuan couldn't see how many reinforcements were coming, so he couldn't help but stand up from his seat.
Point with your hands.
The three hundred heavy armors were all elite, and they immediately opened their bows and fired arrows to attack.
But Hao Du and others were all good at martial arts. They wielded their swords and spears, but none of them could hit.
Three hundred Mongolian yuan was shouted out, and the voices sounded like they were Han Chinese!
Seeing the enemy cavalry approaching, he immediately threw away his stiff bow, held his spear in his hand, and faced each other in a stacked formation, forming a spear formation like a forest!
Xu Yin mingled among the crowd, his eyes slightly condensed and his expression solemn.
When the distance was close, Hao Du roared, and everyone's horse speed gradually slowed down. Until they were about ten steps away from the formation, everyone shouted and threw the thunderbolts in their hands at the enemy formation at the same time!
