In order to wipe out the righteous thieves entrenched in Qingdao and Mi Prefectures, Tang Ning divided the army into two. Huang Jin, a Wenchen sent by Zhao Ji, led 80,000 troops to advance towards Mizhou, and he himself led the remaining 120,000 troops to Qingzhou.

According to Wu Desi's investigation, there were a large number of rebels in the Qingzhou area, and most of them were workshops and workshops on the Mizhou side.

In order to hide people's eyes, so many people were released in Qingzhou, but this did not escape the eyes of Wu Desi.

Qiancheng County has now completely become the territory of the rebels, and after Tang Ning entered Qingzhou, he went straight here.

Just when everyone thought that the rebels would continue to hibernate in the guise of civilians, something unexpected happened.

They actually pulled up an army to fight Tang Ning, and they didn't know where they got the courage from.

Pei Xiantong actually admired the behavior of these rebels very much, she felt that the actions of the rebels were full of a sense of justice, which could be seen from the fact that they did not slaughter the city or plunder it after they broke the city.

So Pei Xiantong told Tang Ning that she wanted to do the ideological work of the rebels to see if they could surrender.

Tang Ning said that there was no need for this, why Tang Ning didn't explain to the confused Pei Xiantong, but just ordered the soldiers to continue to advance towards Qiancheng County.

Halfway through, they were ambushed by the rebels, and the two sides clashed head-on on an official road.

The 120,000-strong army marched on the official road like a long dragon with no tail in sight, and the rebels who were ambushed on the hills on both sides of the official road came out and used gunpowder to strike at the officers and soldiers.

The vanguard was hit hard, and Tang Ning's Chinese army was a little flustered. At this time, Tang Ning came out majestically, and mobilized impassionedly, which can be regarded as stabilizing the morale of the army.

Then, the Chinese army, under the command of Tang Ning, roared and went to support the vanguard.

Liu Ling actually felt that something was wrong, not that the righteous army couldn't fight an ambush, but that the ambush of the righteous army was a little too strange.

There are too many places in Qingzhou that are more suitable for ambushes, and there is no reason to choose such an open official road. Are they underestimating the officers and soldiers, or are they overestimating themselves?

Liu Ling felt that there were a lot of doubts in this, but when he wanted to ask Tang Ning, Tang Ning dumped him with a stinky face.

Liu Ling could only smile bitterly at this.

He knew that Tang Ning hated being watched by others, but he also sent someone to him out of helplessness.

The first emperor did not defend him because he trusted him very much, but this does not mean that others will also believe in him.

For example, Zhao Ji, after he succeeded to the throne, the most taboo person was Tang Ning, so he asked Liu Ling to send someone to spy on Tang Ning.

Before this, the personal relationship between Tang Ning and Liu Ling was not bad.

Wu Desi's first rule is absolute loyalty to the emperor, no matter who this emperor is, even if everyone in the world betrays him, Wu Desi will not betray him.

If someone betrays, then the task of all the Martial Priests becomes to eliminate the betrayer.

This is the foundation of the martial arts division, and it is also an important reason why the martial arts officials can enjoy their old age in peace.

Liu Ling is a martial envoy and the boss of the martial arts division. He certainly can't take the lead in breaking this rule.

Although Zhao Xu died, he was also very sad, and even took a three-day leave to do nothing, just in a dark corner, crying after drinking, sleeping when he was tired of crying, and continuing to drink when he woke up.

If sadness is useful, Liu Ling feels that his sadness is enough to bring Zhao Xu back to life.

But he didn't want to explain anything to Downing, and he didn't have to explain it to Downing.

The vanguard was commanded by Little Stone, and the sudden attack on gunpowder really made them panic for a while at the first time.

But fortunately, Wu Dazhuang and other veterans of the Zhenguo Army were all serving as officers in the vanguard army, and after a short panic, they immediately began to command on the spot, stabilized their positions, and then launched a counterattack.

After using gunpowder to cause the officers and soldiers to fall into a brief panic, the rebels who were lying in ambush on both sides of the road rushed out to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the officers and soldiers.

The 200,000 forbidden troops on Jingnan Sixth Road and Jingxi Third Road sound bluffing, but in fact their combat effectiveness is not high.

The Great Song Dynasty has its own national conditions, and there has been no war in the surrounding areas of Kaifeng Mansion for decades. These soldiers usually eat and stay in a daze, and occasionally pull them out for training.

But the rebel army, under the leadership of Fang La, was very different. Fang La used the training method of the Zhenguo Army to train the Righteous Army, so the Righteous Army's combat effectiveness was quite strong.

It's just that they are slightly inferior in terms of armament, and the money of the rebels is used to make gunpowder and supplement the nutrition of the soldiers, so it is inevitable that they will fall behind in armor and weapons.

The rebels who entered the ranks of officers and soldiers were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, as brave as the Zhenguo army that had entered the enemy formations before.

Xiao Shi seemed to see the shadow of the Zhenguo Army in a trance, until he was stabbed in the shoulder.

The small stone in special armor would not break the defense because of this knife, and he swept the halberd in his hand, and the rebel who attacked him flew out with a mouthful of blood.

Only then did the little stone come to his senses and yelled, "Follow me!" And he lifted up his feet and smote them into the midst of the enemy.

Although Wu Dazhuang is now an officer, he still subconsciously followed when he heard the roar of the little stone.

The two of them were one after the other, guarding more than a dozen small soldiers around them, killing all the way to both sides, and they actually killed the ambush general.

The general, dressed in a gray robe and holding a spear in his hand, stood on the hillside as if waiting for the little stone to come.

"Thirteen?! It's you?! Little Stone looked at the man in surprise.

Fang Lahaha laughed and said, "I heard that the Hou Ye is here, I am really itchy. If I can defeat Master Hou here, I

The rebel army will be unstoppable when it dominates the world! ”

Xiao Shi stared at Fang La, kicked a small soldier away, and then shouted: "Don't even think about it!" Hurry up and surrender! That way you can save your life! ”

"Hahaha! Is my life something you can save if you say you can save it? Kill me! Fang La also shouted, and hundreds of rebels around him rushed forward with a roar.

At this time, Xiao Shi and the others were a little out of touch with the large army, and the soldiers behind had to fight a bloody way to keep up with his pace, and there were more than 20 people around him, so it stands to reason that they were naturally not the opponents of these hundreds of people.

But there are many things in this world that are unreasonable, such as Zhao Xu's untimely death, or Xiao Shi's innate divine power.

Hearing Fang La's words, Xiao Shi was furious. Wielding the halberd and stepping forward, the halberd swept, and a group of people flew out. Then he almost turned the halberd into a large windmill, and the enemy did not even dare to approach him.

The little stone killed all the way in front of Fang La, Fang La gritted his teeth, his expression was frightened, but he was very resolute.

Xiao Shi suddenly felt that this person was a little strange, he didn't look like the Fang La he knew.

Speaking of which, if it was really thirteen, he wouldn't be confronting himself here.

Just as he thought of this, Fang La in front of him had already pounced.

He didn't have time to react, and he didn't want to hurt Fang La, so he turned to one side and smashed Fang La's back with an elbow, and then hit Fang La's head with the tail of his halberd, knocking him unconscious to the ground.

"The helper is down!" The soldier on the side shouted with a crying voice.

"What? The helper fainted? ”

"What? The gang leader was captured? ”

"What? The gang leader was beheaded for public display? ”

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. Hearing the little soldier's shout, the news changed when it came and went.

So under Liu Ling's puzzled gaze, someone in the rebel army shouted: "The gang leader has been captured!" Let's not resist! Surrender! ”

With that, he threw his weapon on the ground.

If one person does this, a second person will follow him.

So the rebels threw their weapons on the ground and knelt on the ground and surrendered.

Liu Ling felt that this was really too weird, even if the righteous thieves couldn't defeat the regular army, it wouldn't be like this, right? It's only been a long time since the fight, how could Fang La let him be caught?

There are many doubts in this, Liu Ling really can't believe it. He even thought he was dreaming, so he reached out and pinched his thigh.

The piece of flesh that was pinched hurt so much that it was clear that he wasn't dreaming.

So what's going on here?

The rear army didn't even rush over thirty miles away, and the battle was won? Are you kidding......
