"I am Niu Jinxing, a counselor under Emperor Shun, the prime minister of Dashun Kingdom, and a scholar of Tianyou Palace. General Zhou is polite."
Dwarf Winter Melon had a serious look on his face and introduced himself with a slight smile.
Sure enough, it was this guy. Zhou Yuji's heart was beating wildly. There were very few Chinese people in the bandit army, and even fewer people who could make suggestions. This old cow was one of the few leaders around the bandits. The blind man Li Chunxin was also one of them.
The number one strategist behind the scenes.
This person is here unexpectedly. It seems that he has a lot of face, but how can this person dare to take risks easily because he has always been cautious? Zhou Yuji fell into doubt again, and then thought that this thief has always been cautious in his actions, so he naturally evaluated this trip.
Moreover, the view here is wide and it is clear whether the opponent has ambushes or not, so I came boldly.
Of course, it is not ruled out that he still has a large army to support him at the rear. I felt relieved thinking that Chang Yu's three hundred subordinates were hiding in the deserted village five miles behind. It seemed that they had not been detected by the other party's spies.
"It turns out to be Prime Minister Niu. I've heard about his name for a long time." Zhou Yuji clasped his fists with a faint smile but not a smile. Niu Jinxing imposed such a long list of titles on himself when introducing himself, which already shows the guilty conscience and extreme low self-esteem of these bandits. When encountering his orthodox origin,
The only way to cover up the inferiority complex of being a bandit is to try to put money on yourself.
Zhou Yuji's half-smile made Niu Jinxing particularly uncomfortable. He was originally a narrow-minded person. Now he saw that the other party was showing contempt and ridicule. How could he not be jealous? Fortunately, they were all old-fashioned, and they still had a smile on their faces: "Zhou
General, let's not talk on the horse like this."
Zhou Yuji smiled when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Wuling Village nearby. There was a dead tree at the entrance of the village, and there was a big millstone under the tree. He pointed out: "Why don't you go over there and sit down?" He gestured to dismount.
"Very good" Niu Jinxing smiled slightly and immediately jumped off his horse. Behind him, Xiong Tong and Chen Shangzhi also jumped off their horses and were about to walk towards the entrance of the village.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhou Yuji, who seemed to be about to dismount, suddenly pulled out a steel knife from under the saddle, rushed in front of Niu Jinxing's horse, raised his hand and cut off the opponent's horse's head with a knife, and then shouted: "Do it!"
The five hundred soldiers who seemed to be scattered behind them immediately rushed towards the opponent's position on horseback.
His move immediately frightened everyone present, especially Niu Jinxing, who was closest to him. Horse blood was sprayed on his face, and he sat on the ground in fright. He was confused for a moment and didn't know what he was doing. His eyes were full of panic.
Xiong Tong and Chen Shangzhi, who were near him, were after all members of the military. They had led troops in battles all year round and reacted very quickly. As soon as Zhou Yuji made a move, they knew it was over. This guy was basically a fake surrender, but they couldn't help but think too much and turned around.
Gotta get on the horse.
But Zhou Yuji had already rode up to them, raised his hand and slashed at the two of them with a knife. They were so frightened that they ran away, trying to escape towards the back of the formation.
However, I soon discovered that that was the most dangerous place.
Zhou Yuji's previous argument with Xiong Tong and others was to distract them. The soldiers behind him had unknowingly set up an offensive posture, and even moved their positions to the two wings. Once there was a sudden attack, they could quickly block it from the two wings.
The thieves fled.
However, these actions, Xiong Tong and others were all focused on Zhou Yuji and did not pay attention at all. Most of his personal soldiers and followers were Zhou's old troops, and their attention was also attracted. Even if someone noticed, they would only think that the Ming army was at this time.
The troops were already demoralized and out of formation, so who knew it was intentional.
So when Zhou Yuji suddenly got angry and drew his sword to kill Niu Jinxing's horse, Xiong Tong's soldiers didn't react at all, because according to the agreement, participants from both sides of the negotiation meeting were not allowed to carry weapons.
Zhou Yuji actually hid a knife.
It wasn't until Zhou Yuji slashed at Xiong Tong and Chen Shangzhi with his sword that the thieves reacted and were about to step forward to rescue them, but found that the five hundred elite soldiers of the Ming Army had already rushed forward...
But at this moment, Xiong Tong and Chen Shangzhi, who wanted to escape behind the formation, still had the courage to run in that direction. Ranma could trample them both to death.
"Prime Minister Niu, run quickly?" Xiong Tong and Chen Shangzhi panicked and turned around to flee towards Wuling Village. However, they caught a glimpse of Niu Jinxing, who was lying on the ground with his eyes dazed. Several fast horses from the Ming army were running towards him not far away.
, couldn't help but shouted loudly.
When Niu Jinxing heard this, she was shocked and stunned. The short winter melon rolled on the spot, turned over, and rushed out. In a few blinks, she surpassed Xiong Tong and the other two, making them dumbfounded.
"Xiong Tong, Chen Shangzhi, if you two don't surrender quickly, capture the bull's head, and I will protect you both from death!" Zhou Yuji rode his horse in pursuit. If he hadn't wanted to capture the three of them alive, he would have captured Niu Jinxing together earlier.
They were chopped into pieces, and Xiong and Chen were not spared either.
Hearing this, Xiong Tong couldn't help but hesitate, and looked at Chen Shangzhi beside him, who was panting and running for his life.
"What are you thinking? It would be a mortal sin for the two of us to surrender to the city. How capable is Zhou Yuji that he can prevent Chongzhen from killing us?" Chen Shangzhi yelled through gritted teeth.
Xiong Tong bit it, let out a long sigh, ignored Zhou Yuji's shouting, and ran towards the village with all his strength.
Seeing the village in sight, as long as you enter, the mobility of the war horses will be limited. If you capture the horses, there is still hope of escaping and ascending to heaven.
There was a bang, and before hope came, Xiong Tong felt a heavy blow on his head. Zhou Yuji had already galvanized his horse to catch up to him, and hit him hard with a knife, knocking him unconscious.
Chen Shangzhi next to him felt a chill in his heart, thinking that Xiong Tong had been killed, he immediately stopped and knelt on the ground: "General Zhou, please spare your life."
"Of course I will spare your life." Zhou Yuji smiled coldly and said, "Tie him up." Some of the dozen or so soldiers following him in pursuit immediately got off their horses and tied up Xiong and Chen.
This short winter melon has really slippery legs. At this time, Zhou Yuji looked up and saw that Niu Jinxing had already arrived at the entrance of Wuling Village. So he waved and followed with a few people to chase after him.
But at this moment, more than a dozen riders suddenly rushed from not far away, and one of them shouted loudly: "Thief Zhou, don't even think about hurting my father."
Zhou Yuji frowned. Over there, his men were already fighting with Xiong Tong's men. The fight was in full swing. How could such a group of people come out? Father, whose son is he?
It doesn't matter who his son is, what's important is that this guy actually shouted "Catch a thief". How could I, the dignified military officer of the Ming Dynasty, be called a thief? Zhou Yuji was furious and signaled his soldiers to catch Niu Jinxing. He swung his sword and faced that man.
When more than ten riders and several soldiers behind him saw this, they were worried about his safety and hurriedly rushed over to help him with their swords, but no one went after Niu Jinxing.
There were really not enough manpower. Most of Zhou Yuji's men were fighting fiercely with the bandits. Only a dozen of them followed him to capture the three Xiong Tongs alive. However, as soon as they tied up two of them, more than ten cavalry troops came to rescue them, so they had to give up.
Chasing your Niu Venus, otherwise Zhou Yuji will suffer a big loss if something unexpected happens to him.
A single sword is not suitable for this kind of cavalry charge, but in the hands of Zhou Yuji, a man with natural supernatural power, even a branch can knock someone away, and knock the thieves flying with one blow.
He stretched out his hand to pick up the opponent and threw him heavily to the ground. Then he turned around and chopped down another person with his sword. Such bravery immediately made the rebel army tremble.
But the real chill was felt by the fierce fighting not far to the south. The Ming army suddenly attacked them and caught them off guard. In addition, most of their officers and soldiers had surrendered. At this time, they lacked the will to fight against their former colleagues and even had no intention of resisting.
, if it weren’t for the hundreds of soldiers brought by Niu Jinxing in the center, they would have been defeated and dispersed long ago.
However, it was the more than a hundred elite soldiers of the rebel army who became the backbone and held up the field, preventing the Ming army from quickly eating them up. They were even able to spare some to rescue Xiong Tong and others.
For a while, the stalemate battle seemed to be evenly matched, but soon the superiority was revealed. The Ming army was very powerful, and they were all elite soldiers drawn from the personal soldiers. They had strong combat power. The rebel army was close to the hundreds of backbones.
They were at a disadvantage, and what was even worse was that they suddenly discovered that the Ming army was actually ambushing and had reinforcements!
Five miles away, the horse galloped and arrived in a blink of an eye. The three hundred men and horses of Gongzihao led by Duan Wuhu galloped over. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the battlefield and immediately shouted: "Tengxiang Guard's frontal attack, Fujun Guard's left wing,
Too...the brothers of the central government army and the right wing...the brothers kill the thieves."
The rebel army was already feeling overwhelmed, but when they saw the Ming army's 300-strong force joining in, they were immediately chilled and had no desire to fight anymore. Some immediately beat their horses and fled, some surrendered on the spot and knelt down, and even those who had their backs were trampled to death by horses.
.
The bandit army over there was defeated, and here Zhou Yuji and his more than ten soldiers had slaughtered all the ten thieves in front of them!
Breathing heavily, he looked at the battlefield to the south and knew that the situation was decided. Then he looked back towards Wuling Village in the west. Niu Jinxing was no longer visible. He immediately sent a few soldiers into the village to look for him. He then dismounted and kicked
He kicked over the young thief who was knocked unconscious just now: "Who are you? Whose father did you just call?"
