Xie Qing was two meters tall, his skin was bronzed, like an iron tower, and the machete with a wide cutting board in his hand was shining with cold light, and he cut down a rebel with a single brush, and continued to kill the thief Yang Qing with great bravery.

Seeing Xie Qing so powerful, Yang Qing couldn't help but feel a big heart, and hurriedly lifted the iron wedge hanging on the victory hook to face the battle.

Yang Qing can open a three-stone bow with both left and right hands, which shows that his arm strength is also quite good, and the iron shovel he uses weighs forty catties.

Boom......

With a deafening explosion, Xie Qing and Yang Qing slashed at each other, and their war horses staggered, and the latter shook and almost fell off his horse.

Xie Qing's arm strength was obviously better than Yang Qing's, plus the latter suffered from the cold wind last night, and now he was hungry, so his natural state was even worse.

"The thief has a few strengths, come and come, and then take my own knife!" Xie Qing turned the horse's head and was about to do another round.

Yang Qing's arm was sore from the shock just now, and he dared to carry it hard with Xie Qing, hung the iron shovel back on the victory hook, pulled out a handcuff from his waist, and shouted at the same time: "Stop him for Lao Tzu!" ”

The two rebels nearby urged their horses forward and swung their swords to attack Xie Qing, and Yang Qing took the opportunity to raise his handcuff to aim and occupy the lead.

Xie Qing's face changed slightly, and he shouted: "Second child! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a string sound, and Yang Qing subconsciously slammed onto the horse, and a sharp arrow flew past the back of his head.

At this moment, the lead of Yang Qing's handgun also burned out, and a large cloud of white smoke came out of the gun's mouth, and the iron sand inside sprayed out, but Yang Qing also lowered the muzzle of the handgun in order to avoid the arrows, so the iron sand hit the ground nearby.

Despite this, the mount under Xie Qing's crotch was swept to the front hooves by the flying iron sand, and the man stood up in pain, and actually threw Xie Qing off the horse, and then ran away like crazy.

A nearby rebel was overjoyed, urging the horse to come forward and pick up the cheap, but Xie Qing fell off the horse and rolled back and bounced up flexibly, and threw the machete out with a loud shout.

Burst......

The machete, which weighed more than 50 pounds, directly knocked the rebel who wanted to pick up the bargain off his horse and firmly nailed him to the ground. Xie Qing took the opportunity to jump onto the rebel's mount, grabbed the reins and turned the horse's head sharply, and at the same time bent down and leaned over, a beautiful swallow plucked the water, and pulled the machete stuck in the ground, and a series of actions were completed in one go.

Seeing this, the three nearby rebels hurriedly rode their horses and fled, Nima, this guy is too fierce to beat!

Yang Qing's eyelids jumped sharply, threw the handcuff, beat the horse and fled outside the village, leaving the green mountains behind, not afraid of no firewood!

The Ming Dynasty's firearms were not as capable of firing as modern firearms, and they didn't even have a plate machine, so they relied on igniting the fuse to excite, and it was extremely troublesome to reload.

He was almost shot into a honeycomb by Yang Qing just now, Xie Qing was extremely annoyed while palpitating, and chased out of the village.

At this moment, the village was a one-sided massacre, and the Xie brothers on horseback and a group of personal soldiers went around slashing and killing the fleeing rebels.

Although these rebels had the advantage in numbers, they could only be slaughtered in the face of the mobility of the cavalry, not to mention that this group of tired soldiers had long been starved and did not have much strength.

About half an hour later, the battle was coming to an end, most of the nearly fifty rebels were killed, about seven or eight escaped from the village, and a few took refuge in farmhouses.

Soon, several rebels who hid in the farmhouse were also cleaned up by the Xie brothers one after another, and one of them was captured alive.

"Brother-in-law, catch a live one!"

The brother-in-law walked over with Hou Zhong like a chicken, and fell hard to the ground, and the latter rolled his eyes on the spot, and was silent for a long time.

Xu Jin just glanced coldly at Hou Zhong, who had a sharp beak and monkey gills, and then continued to refill the gunpowder with the gunpowder.

Loading ammunition to the gun is a technical job, the gunpowder added to the chamber can not be too much, otherwise it is easy to explode, the amount of gunpowder put is less and the lethality is definitely insufficient, the most pittable is that the gun is preloaded, that is, from the muzzle of the gun to put lead bullets and iron sand into it, and then use a stick to stick in and poke it, very troublesome.

Xu Jin was also on the way to escape in the past two days, and asked a group of relatives for advice and learned how to use the firearm, but he was not very proficient.

Hou Zhong had already relieved his breath at this time, and a pair of monkey eyes looked at the clumsy "little white face" in front of him, secretly guessing his identity.

Xu Jin fiddled around for a while, and finally reloaded the ammunition for the firecracker, and said secretly, this thing is too backward, and there is a chance to improve it in the future, it is best to change it to a reloading flintlock pistol, but with the current level of craftsmanship, I am afraid it is difficult to do.

At this time, Wang Lin'er ran over, respectfully gave a military salute, and said excitedly: "My lord, a total of thirty-six thieves were killed, one was captured, and twenty war horses were captured. ”

Hou Zhong was taken aback, and thought that he had heard it wrong, the little white face in front of him turned out to be the sixth grade of the judgment? That's too young, isn't it?

Xu Jin nodded calmly and asked, "Are there any casualties among the brothers?" ”

Wang Lin'er said lightly: "Don't worry, only two brothers have been slightly injured, but they are not in the way. ”

Winning more with less, and only slightly injuring two people on his side, this is undoubtedly a beautiful big victory.

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Very good, Wang Baihu, you are responsible for recording the number of enemies killed by the brothers, and report to the court for merit in the future." ”

"Subordinates obey!" Wang Lin happily ran to count the heads.

Xu Jin's eyes then looked at Hou Zhong on the ground, who only felt a slight chill on his body, and grinned: "This adult, the little one is a law-abiding people, and he was only coerced by King Ning's people to become thieves ......."

Before Hou Zhong finished speaking, his forehead was covered by the cold fire, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak on the spot.

This guy in front of him looks obscene, his eyes are flickering, he is not a good bird at first glance, not to mention that Xu Jin saw with his own eyes that this person took the lead in leading thieves into the village to search, and when this guy saw Yue'er, the lewd light in his eyes overflowed, and he rushed to the farmhouse in fear, let me ask if this kind of person would be a good citizen who abides by the law?

Xu Jin said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, just answer whatever you ask!" ”

Hou Zhong said in horror: "Yes, yes, my lord, may I ask!" ”

Xu Jin asked coldly: "How many pursuers are there behind?" ”

Hou Zhong was held to his head by the firecracker, but he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and replied honestly: "Yang Qianhu brought a thousand men and horses to chase after him, in addition to the cavalry, there are eight or nine hundred infantry behind!" ”

Xie Yidao and Xie Erjian couldn't help but change their faces slightly, so King Ning actually sent a thousand troops to chase and kill.

Hou Zhong's eyes rolled and he continued: "I heard that General Wu is also coming with a large army!" ”

Xu Jin raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Which General Wu?" How many men did he bring with him? ”

"It's General Wu Sanba, who leads more than a thousand troops!"

Xie Yidao and Xie Erjian couldn't help but glance at each other, saying that Wu Sanba was actually caught by them at the beginning, although Yu Linsheng was cheaper in the end.

Xu Jin couldn't help frowning, there was no doubt that Wu Sanba had a grudge against him, and he even knocked him a bowl of noodle soup in the haggis shop.

This bandit had a great fate, and he was caught in prison and even escaped, and now he has changed from a bandit who killed one side to a general, which is a great irony.

However, as the so-called winner of the hearts of the people wins the world, King Ning went against the grain, relying on bullying and robbing the people to accumulate wealth, and reusing a group of thieves as generals, such a group of crooked melons and cracked dates can make do with it, and it is strange that it can succeed!

Hou Zhong saw that Xu Jin was silent, and thought that the other party was afraid, so he said triumphantly: "Prince Ning has already sent 100,000 troops to attack Nankang, and soon the whole of Jiangxi will be Lord Ning's world, so you can't escape, if you are interested, surrender obediently and hand over Sun Sui." The little one can still speak in front of Yang Qianhu, and he will say a few kind words for you then. ”

A touch of ridicule flashed in Xu Jin's eyes, King Ning's rebellion was put down in less than two months, and he failed to capture Anqing from beginning to end, and he also wanted to control the whole of Jiangxi. Moreover, the so-called 100,000 troops may have to be greatly discounted, and there will be only 50,000 or 60,000 troops in the sky, and the regular troops will probably have to be halved.

"Dispose of it!" Xu Jin put away the fire gun and said three words lightly.

Hou Zhong was stunned for a moment, and didn't react until he was mentioned by Xie Erjian, and shouted in horror: "My lord, spare your life, you answered whatever you asked......

Xie Erjian lifted Hou Zhong outside the courtyard, and after a miserable scream, the begging for mercy stopped abruptly.

After half a burnt incense, Xie Qing rode back to the village, looking at his annoyed expression, he didn't need to ask to know that Yang Qing, the head of the thieves, had escaped.

Xu Jin didn't care, although he finally ran away from the thief, but this ambush was undoubtedly quite successful, completely knocked out the enemy's cavalry, and no longer had to be chased like a lost dog, and the next forty miles to Leadshan County would be much easier.

At that moment, Xu Jin ordered someone to invite Sun Sui's body out again, and then put up the heads of a group of thieves in front of Sun Sui's body, and solemnly offered incense and sacrifice.

Thirty-seven bloody human heads formed a small mountain, the scene was really terrifying, Yue'er and Wang Cuihua both vomited, and Xie Xiaowan and Jiang Shi also hid far away and didn't dare to look at it.

But the eyes of the pro-soldiers who looked at Xu Jin changed, with a hint of fanaticism in their respect. If it was said that the group of pro-soldiers who agreed to guard Xu Jin before was because of Sun Sui's last order, but at this moment, they supported and worshiped from the heart.

As a soldier, in addition to the rations, they also need an iron-blooded commander who can lead them to victory and glory, for now, Xu Jin has undoubtedly done a good job, and initially won the trust and support of all the soldiers.

After worshipping Sun Sui's body, Xu Jin ordered the corpses and heads of the thieves to be transported out of the village to find a place to bury them, and then clean up the bloodstains in the village, so as not to frighten the villagers of Yangang Village when they returned. After doing all this, Xu Jin ordered to set off for Leadshan County.

According to Hou Zhong's confession, there will be 2,000 rebels in the back, and the real battle is still to come, can you hold Leadshan County?

This is the challenge that Xu Jin will face, and it is also the task that Sun Sui gave him!
