Ji Rentu led a group of black cavalry under his command and quickly shuttled through the dense forest in the middle of the night. This place was not far from the border of Chunfeng Town. It could be reached by climbing over the hill not far ahead and traveling ten miles westward.
But the commander of the Black Cavalry Army was in a very bad mood at this time. The defeat in Chunfeng Town not only cost him most of his family fortune, but more importantly, he would completely lose his words in Ji Shenfu.
right.
If the defeat of Ji Rentu's troops at Liangchenggang half a year ago could be attributed to Yinren's side having planned it for a long time, or to blame Helian Tiexin for being a straw bag, then this time in the battle of Chunfeng Town, the bald man
But I can't shirk it completely like before.
He knew that his eldest brother, although he usually dressed as a scholar and looked pleasant, was actually a ruthless person, and the other party would not be soft-hearted and stop because of the so-called brotherhood.
How can a person who can reach the position of county magistrate be restrained by this so-called brotherhood from the murderous knife in his hand?
Ji Rentu shook the reins in his hand and thought to himself: I have to find a way to get out of this matter! I originally wanted to get rid of the crime, but I didn't expect to make a mess! Huh, Yan Mingbo, Li Chengqian! I will remember you.
Already.
Just when the bald man was secretly making up his mind, groups of black-armored soldiers appeared on the border.
There was an armored man at the head, holding a pitch black halberd in his hand. Besides a group of black armored soldiers, there were several other people around him. At first glance, he looked like he was not an ordinary person.
The person who came was none other than Qin Kai and others who were chasing Zhang Ming and his party.
"Sir, the person setting up the formation at the border is none other than Quan Zi!" Batu, who was wearing a black and red cloak, said in a deep voice with his hands raised.
Hearing what the other party said, everyone present couldn't help but look around. Although it was late at night, these people present were all masters of the knight realm. Even without the so-called night vision ability, they could still see the general view of this camp.
.
Especially the armored man at the head. As a general who defends the city, he is very familiar with battles. In addition, his cultivation level is the highest among everyone present, and he has also been exposed to some methods of using inner energy. No need to use Ba.
According to the picture, Qin Kai noticed this camp.
This marching formation method is very different from the formation methods of various martial arts schools today. The marching formation method is nothing more than the "Ten Military Struggle Formations". They are: the one-word long snake formation, the two dragons emerging from the water formation, and the three talents formation of heaven and earth.
, the four-door pocket formation, the five tigers and herds of sheep formation, the six Ding and Liujia formations, the seven-star Big Dipper formation, the eight-door golden lock formation, the nine-child chain formation, and the ten-sided ambush formation.
These ten formations can be transformed into each other and the changes are endless:
Attack the head or tail of a long snake formation and turn the other end to form a two-dragon water formation.
Moving forward in the middle is the Three Talents Formation of Heaven and Earth.
The two ends retreated to form a four-door pocket-bottom formation, which interspersed with each other to form a five-tiger formation.
Then arrange them according to the six Ding Liujia formation, which is the Six Ding Liujia formation.
Then half of it was stretched into a long snake formation, and the other half was like a four-door pocket-bottom formation, that is, the seven-star Big Dipper formation.
Make a circle and arrange the formation according to the Bagua array, leaving eight exits and turning it into a square, which is the Eight-Door Golden Lock Array.
Arranged according to the nine palaces, the soldiers in each square will intersperse and gradually become one body, crossing each other, which is the nine-son chain formation.
Using various hidden weapons and traps to tire out the enemy is called an ambush formation.
Compared with the formation methods in various sects, the Ten Military Formations focus more on the use of formations rather than changes and innovations. Just like the "Seven Killing Formation" that Yi Xifeng himself thought about at the beginning, it is used to deal with bloody attacks. Moon Greedy Wolf, this formation that integrates the rules of heaven and earth, is the main research direction of various martial arts sects.
Batu's son Baruch deployed a four-door pocket formation known for its defense this time, with two doors at the front and two at the front. It was used to attack from both directions, and it had good effects.
"Yes, this pocket formation is well laid out. There is a vent between the two doors, making it easier for soldiers to pass back and forth, and it is also convenient to change formations." Qin Kai is worthy of being a veteran in the army, and he can see the advantages and disadvantages of this formation at a glance.
There are only these ten formations in the Ten Military Formations, but each general has a different understanding of them. They will more or less add some of their own understanding, or make small changes, or make small changes. After all, the way of military formations has always been about ten types of formations. Formation, all kinds of people!
Without any further delay, the group of people approached them.
…
"Report, young master, a group of people are approaching from behind. I think the group should be the master and Master Qin." A soldier in black armor bowed and said to Baruch.
The young man felt relieved and immediately ordered his soldiers to greet him first.
Soon Baruch joined a group of people, and his two hundred black-armored soldiers were naturally returned to his father.
"Luke, I have met Mr. Qin, Gang Leader Yin, and Mr. Xie!" Baruch bowed and said.
Yin Shisan and Xie Huangqi naturally forced out a smile and nodded. Qin Kai smiled and asked a few questions and mentioned a few more.
"Luke, did you notice any abnormalities before?" Batu knew that everyone was carrying a mission at this time, so he stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point and asked.
The young man thought for a while, shook his head and replied: "I have led people to check again, and I have not found anyone who can be found. The group said that someone from Chunfeng Town came to help them, so there must be something fishy involved."
When everyone heard this reply, they were a little confused. They had just discovered the bodies of the Sandman team in the woods. It was obviously the work of Zhang Ming's group. The two places were less than ten miles apart. Although they had come all the way here, The speed is not fast just to prevent missing any details and allowing this group of people to escape.
Now listening to what Baruch said, could it be possible that Zhang Ming and the others disappeared out of thin air?
"Just think about it, during this half-burning time, you haven't seen anyone pass by here?" The speaker was Xie Huangqi, the yellow lion who had been silent just now.
That ten-man Sandman team was his direct subordinate, and he didn't want to let this group of people escape as they escaped under his nose.
The young man frowned and pondered for a moment, then replied: "To say that there are people passing by here, there really are! A team of sandmen from your Shahe Gang just passed by here."
"Sandman Team?" Yin Shisan was startled at first, and then looked at Huang Shi aside.
Xie Huangqi shook his head with an ugly face and explained: "I just sent out the ten people just now. The rest of the teams are performing tasks and cannot move."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present still understood the truth of the matter, and their faces became very gloomy!
Baruch obviously didn't understand what they meant. He frowned and said in confusion: "Ten people? There were only eight people who just came."
"That's right, eight people. They killed my ten-man team and stripped eight of them of their clothes!" Xie Huangqi explained bitterly.
"What? You said, these eight people are the spies we want to catch?" Baruch was also a little surprised. Not long after, he realized that something was wrong with this matter, and immediately asked: "No, I have seen a few of them, and I also asked
He asked them some questions. If he was a spy pretending to be a spy, how could he know such details?"
Hearing this, Yin Shisan's face became even more gloomy, but he could only bite the bullet and reply: "Among these spies from Chunfeng Town, there are people from Yinren Town, and... there is also the helmsman of my Shahe Gang.
!”
"What?! You, Shahe, have spied on you?!" Baruch asked angrily.
"Okay, this matter is not your responsibility!" Batu spoke up to stop his son. Although this matter is related to the Shahe Gang, if we investigate it carefully, Yin Shisan is actually very wronged.
My best friend ran away with someone else, and before she left, she did something to her casino! This made Gang Leader Yin, who had always only bullied others and was rarely bullied, unable to react.
After all, the last time he was bullied was when he was very young. Ever since his parents were killed by officials, this vicious young man has been wandering around the market without fear of getting out. Although he has experienced life and death several times, when he and several
After my brother became a member of the Shahe Gang, this kind of bullying never happened again.
And this time, he undoubtedly relived the grievance he felt when he was young.
"It's okay, General Ba. This matter is indeed the fault of our Shahe Gang. No matter what, I, Yin, will not be able to escape the involvement." The cold-faced man stuck out his tongue and licked his lips before replying with a smile.
Xie Huangqi saw the anger of her boss and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but before he could say anything, the armored man on the side suddenly interrupted: "Here comes someone!"
Everyone was shocked. Naturally, they would not doubt Qin Kai's judgment. As the three most powerful people in Luoye City, he and Ji Rentu were called "Northern Tu and Southern Iron Wall" respectively. In addition, they were in charge of the market.
Yin Shisan, the three of them in Jianghu Matters, can be said to be truly strong men.
After all, Yin Shisan was born in Yeluzi. Although his own skill level is no worse than Qin Kai's, his exploration of his own martial arts is not as good as that of these warriors with powerful clans behind them. Gang leader Yin does not have the ability to detect the inner energy.
This is why Zhang Ming was able to predict in advance when Qin Kai appeared on Zhang Yanshi's battlefield, but he could only find out when the armored man showed up.
Soon, Ji Rentu appeared in everyone's sight with nearly a hundred black cavalry. Fortunately, when Liu Dong sent out troops to attack Chunfeng Town at night, he left reserve troops in advance, otherwise there would be only a few who were following them now.
Just a dozen or so rides.
"It's Lord Ji Rentu!" Batu murmured as he looked at the group of soldiers with black cavalry and black armor.
Although the Six Gates and the Black Cavalry are two major components of Luoye City's military, one side focuses on maintaining the order and security of Luoye City, and the other is responsible for going out to crusade against dissident forces.
The six gates have six strong knights, one more than Ji Rentu and the four generals under his command. Naturally, they feel that their own power is more important. And these black knights have been fighting outside all year round, so they naturally look down on these people who are pampered at home.
The city guards.
However, I can't stand the fact that the two parties belong to the same force and are brother armies, and they have changed differently.
"But General Ji?" Qin Kai not only had the advantage in numbers, but also had more knight-level warriors than his opponent, so he was the first to speak.
The bald man was naturally aware of the existence of this old enemy and friend, so he could only say loudly: "Brother Qin, you're welcome! Are you okay, brother?"
Since they were all on their own, the two parties no longer hesitated and quickly gathered their soldiers together. In a short period of time, the number of two hundred men originally stationed here increased to more than seven hundred, ranging from cavalry to infantry.
"Brother, Yinren has formed an alliance with Chunfeng!" the bald man asked seriously.
Everyone looked shocked, and they suddenly discovered that tonight's shocking news was really more powerful than the last! Everyone did not dare to respond to this, so they had to wait for the other party to continue.
Ji Rentu's heart sank when he saw everyone's reaction. When he looked at the leader, Qin Kai, his eyes flickered. He knew that the other party didn't know the news. When he thought about what Qin Hongyao said before, he realized that he was
be cheated.
Just as he was about to have an attack, he caught a glimpse of Yin Shisan, who was looking thoughtful. The bald man rolled his eyes and instantly made up his mind.
"Hey! How dare you come here!" As he spoke, he raised his riding crop and pointed at Yin Shisan in front of him. Xie Huangqi beside him frowned slightly and took two steps forward, obviously not interested in Ji.
Rentu also sounded very dissatisfied.
"I just met a group of killers under your command who were actually protecting a woman. I also know that person. Isn't it your sweetheart named Hong Mole! Did I remember correctly?" Ji Rentu asked in a hateful voice.
Except for Yin Shisan and Xie Huangqi, the others couldn't help exchanging glances when they heard this.
If Yin Shisan was implicated before because of a small helmsman under his command, it would have been a bit unjust. But if it was a concubine, this matter would be a bit troublesome.
Seeing that Yin Shisan's face was getting more and more ugly, Qin Kai came forward to smooth things over and said: "Brother Rentu doesn't know something. Those seven people are not the killers of Gang Leader Yin."
The bald man finally found a wingman who could help him attract firepower in the future. How could he let him go so easily? Before the armored man could continue, he interrupted: "I've seen that little bitch named Hong Mole. She's absolutely
I can tolerate her well!"
Qin Kai continued: "It's her, but this person is a traitor, or a spy from Chunfeng Town."
"Spy?" Ji Rentu asked pretending to be confused.
"That's right, these eight people are not the Sandman team from the Shahe Gang, but a group of people pretending to be! They are very powerful and resourceful!" As the guard of the Southwest Xuanwu Sect, he has officially fought against them.
Naturally, we have the right to make an evaluation.
Ji Rentu looked at each other with Liu Dong and Hu Qingzheng behind him, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "So that's it, I wonder if Chunfeng Town has really formed an alliance with Yinren Town?"
These words were not pretended by the bald man, but he was really relieved. When he saw the expressions of the people in front of him after hearing the news, he put his heart back in his stomach. In this case, his plan would not be over.
Consider it a complete failure.
"Brother Rentu, what are your plans next?" Qin Kai asked. It was obvious that the armored man attached great importance to Ji Rentu's suggestion. Even though most of the soldiers on the field were under his six gates at this time, and the other side
I only brought a hundred cavalry to join.
It's not that Qin Kai's status is lower than that of Ji Rentu, but it's their ultimate goal. Among everyone present, everyone has their own purpose for coming here.
Yin Shisan is very simple and direct, just kill Qin Hongyao and deal with the traitors within the gang.
Batu's goal is also very clear, to catch the group of real culprits who destroyed the Xuanwu Gate in the southwest.
Qin Kai wanted to determine one thing: what is the true purpose of this group of people and whether it will have any impact on Ji Shen's support of the state.
This point coincided with Ji Rentu's plan. The two glanced at each other hastily, and then the bald man said in a deep voice: "Naturally, the next plan is not to allow them to truly form an alliance! Try every means,
Prevent Yinren from forming an alliance with Chunfeng."
Ji Rentu grinned, showing his sharp white teeth, and said with a smile: "Let's set off immediately, we will attack Chunfeng Town at night!"
