Chapter Ninety-Six: Breaking the Army

Strictly speaking, these spearmen in front of them can be said to be fake and shoddy martial arts masters, or they can only be regarded as half martial arts masters. Only one of the meridians on one arm of these spearmen has been opened, although it is said that the unobstructed meridians can increase the strength on their arms sharply, but there is no internal force in the meridians that have been opened, so these people cannot be regarded as masters of entering the martial arts.

At the beginning, Cheng Biting Jin once promised heavy profits to those martial arts masters, and every time these martial arts masters opened up the meridians on one of their arms for a spearman, Cheng Biting Jin would pay a reward for replenishing qi.

You must know that this Qi Replenishing Pill is a rare thing that these martial arts masters can't buy even if they have money, not to mention, the effect of these Qi Replenishing Pills provided by Cheng Yanjin is much higher than those ordinary pills.

However, Cheng Yanjin's original idea was to let these martial arts masters open up the meridians of the whole body of all the other ordinary people under him, so that his strength would increase several times out of thin air. However, as soon as this crazy idea was proposed, it was despised by all martial arts masters.

These people couldn't help but laugh and told Cheng Yanjin that if they want to open up the meridians of an ordinary person's body, it is impossible to do it unless they are the top masters in the rivers and lakes today or the heads or elders of those top forces, and those top masters can only open up the meridians for one person in their lives, otherwise if things are as easy as Cheng Yanjin imagined, the martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes will long be as worthless as pigs and dogs.

It was to let these martial arts masters tightly open the meridians on one arm, and let Cheng Yanjin promise many benefits, and many people were reluctant, and in the end, Cheng Yanjin reluctantly took out all the qi replenishing pills at hand, which reluctantly made those martial arts masters agree.

Is it worth it for Cheng Yanjin to spend such a huge price to help these pikemen open up the meridians, after all, this pikemen has always been cannon fodder on the battlefield, and few people can invest a huge amount of money to arm these pikemen at the expense of Cheng Yanjin.

However, after seeing the results in front of him, the doubt in Cheng Yanjin's heart had long since disappeared, and he was even more complacent for his foresight. Under the first round of these pikemen, the enemy's archers, who were used for long-range attacks, suffered heavy casualties and were completely no threat to their own side.

And just when the officers and soldiers of the court who were hit not far away were in chaos, another group of pikemen who had already been prepared in the back ran to the front from the gap between the ranks of pikemen in front, and at the same time shouted and threw the spears in their hands as well.

After these two rounds of long-range attacks, the officers and soldiers of the court on the opposite side were already in a panic, and some of the officers and soldiers who had escaped the blow were retreating in a panic, leaving only the bodies of the dead officers and soldiers in front of them lying silently on the ground.

Seeing that the retreating officers and soldiers were a little confused by the formation of the military formation deployed in the Chinese army, Cheng Yanjin was overjoyed, hurriedly ordered the infantry to get out of the way, and then led the cavalry to rush over. Behind them, the pikemen drew their spare spears from their backs and shouted menacingly.

Even those soldiers who were originally guarding next to the fire tripod also rushed up, after all, only by defeating these officers and soldiers in front of them could everyone live. As for the fire tripod, it doesn't have long legs, and if you put it there, you're afraid that it won't fly?

Before the battle, Cheng Yanjin had already thought of a way to deal with the enemy. If the two armies fought each other according to the normal situation, I was afraid that it would not take long for the officers and men who were at least three times the number of their own to defeat their 3,000 men. After all, it was proportionally three against one, and some of them were extremely elite soldiers.

The only way to draw or even win in such an extremely unfavorable situation is to use some weird tactics. Although Cheng Yanjin did not receive orthodox military training, nor did he read books about war, it did not prevent Cheng Yanjin from coming up with a good solution.

Since forming the Salt Gang and having some spare money in his hands, Cheng Yanjin has bought a whole room of books, in addition to the books placed, Cheng Yanjin has only read a few books that are so thin. In addition to the very hidden books related to the art of the house, such as "The Secret Drama of the Spring Palace" and "The Heart Sutra of the Plain Girl", most of the rest are biographies of various celebrities in the previous dynasty.

The reason why Cheng Yanjin is familiar with the biographies of the ancients is to satisfy the curiosity in his heart, but his old mother hopes that he can know how these ancients dress and how they move on weekdays, so that he can also learn a little from middle school. ”

It's a pity that after reading so many books, Cheng Yanjin is still so arrogant, and his temper and personality have not changed in the slightest, and his wife has lost her heart and no longer forces him to read those books that make people only doze off.

Although Cheng Yanjin only read a few of those books, the content in them is still fresh in his memory. Some of them could have inspired him in other ways. For example, the tactic that Cheng Yanjin is using now is inspired by the story of Tian Ji's horse racing.

The story of Tian Ji horse racing is that when Tian Ji was racing horses, he used his inferior horse against King Qiwei's superior horse, took the superior horse against King Qiwei's medium horse, and took the medium horse against King Qiwei's inferior horse, and as a result, he lost one game and won two wins in three games, thus winning the victory.

When Cheng Yanjin got the information about the officers and soldiers who intercepted him, he remembered this story and got inspiration from this story. So, two days ago, when he was very close to these officers and soldiers, he assigned tasks to his soldiers early.

Cheng Yanjin asked all his soldiers to turn a blind eye to the elite court officers and soldiers, and just cut down other officers and soldiers who were easier to deal with. As for this group of elite officers and soldiers, if they participate in the war, then as soon as they see their distinctive armor, they will stay away and not engage this group of elite officers and soldiers, and wait for everyone to cut down those officers and soldiers who are easier to bully, and then unite to kill this group of elite officers and soldiers.

According to the information obtained by Cheng Yanjin, this group of elite officers and soldiers seems to have been arranged in Jinyang today to guard the beauties in the emperor's palace for him. When today's Zi Yang Guang ascended the throne as the emperor, he searched for beauties all over the world, and then built palaces all over the country for the convenience of safari and summer vacation, and at the same time enriched these palaces with those collected beauties.

And every palace or palace is guarded by a part of the elite soldiers. As a strong force that guards the home of today's son, the combat effectiveness of these elite soldiers is only slightly worse than that of the Yulin Army, which is subordinate to today's son.

When today's son Yang Guangwei ascended the throne, he also led soldiers to conquer the Quartet. Therefore, he divided the soldiers and horses of the world into three classes, the lower class is ordinary, the middle class is elite, and the upper class is invincible. Among these third-class soldiers and horses, the so-called invincible Yulin Army has always only followed the emperor to escort, and the elite soldiers and horses who followed Yang Guang to fight the world were scattered all over the country by the emperor to guard his palace annex for him.

The reason why these supposedly elite soldiers participated in the battle to besiege and kill Cheng Biting Jin was because Pei Lian, the palace supervisor of Jinyang Palace, had secretly taken refuge in Li Valve, so at Li Jiancheng's request, these soldiers were sent in the name of going to Fenyang Palace to be on duty, in order to be able to capture Cheng Biting Jin in one fell swoop, after all, although Li Valve is one of the four major gate valves, but like the other three surnamed gate valves, there are only some manpower accumulated in secret, but there is no private army at all on the surface.

If in order to take revenge on Cheng Biting Jin, he will leak Li Valve's family background, I am afraid that if he doesn't wait for Cheng Biting Jin to retaliate, Li Jiancheng's Laozi will take off his head first. But seeing Cheng Yanjin swaggering around in his nest and leaving unscathed, Li Jiancheng was unwilling to say anything, so in the name of his Laozi, he begged Pei Lin to send some elite soldiers to help.

What made Cheng Yanjin a little overjoyed was that those elite soldiers in bright armor lined up on the flanks seemed to be disdainful of the ordinary officers and soldiers who fought with him, and when Cheng Yanjin's men and horses were taking advantage of the chaos to slash and kill those ordinary officers and soldiers of the Chinese army, these elite soldiers who were close at hand just stayed there and watched, and did not react at all.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Cheng Biting Jin lifted the reins and joined the killing team. Since these soldiers give face, we are embarrassed to rest there, and looking at the blood-stained robes of his subordinates one by one, Cheng Yanjin's hands have long been itching. Carrying two large plate axes, Cheng Yanjin killed a group of officers and soldiers who were fighting not far away.

Under the gaze of those elite soldiers on the flank, Cheng Yanjin led the men and horses of the Heroes Club to be fearless of death, and fiercely attacked the officers and soldiers in front of him in a dense queue, with a fierce momentum. Especially the hundreds of cavalry in the lead, all of them are martial arts masters, and their skill is not at all something that ordinary officers and soldiers can resist.

Under the sprint of these cavalry, the officers and soldiers who were already a little chaotic became more and more panicked, and fled behind them with their hands and feet.

Those martial arts masters of the Heroes Club were like a gust of wind, blowing into the camp of the officers and soldiers, under their blows, like a calm ocean being swept up by a whirlwind, the huge officers and soldiers of the Chinese army had no ability to resist, and the phalanx that was originally lined up in an orderly manner was scattered by the defeated and retreating soldiers one by one, completely without the ability to resist, the queue began to be chaotic, and the soldiers also fled in panic.

Being able to cause such a powerful result is something that Cheng Yanjin did not expect, according to common sense, even if the court generals sent to besiege him this time are incompetent, they should not let Cheng Yanjin's men and horses enter the Chinese army like no one, and the entire Chinese army will be defeated.

Just when Cheng Yanjin was a little confused, in the rear of the imperial court officers and soldiers, the generals who commanded the siege were also so anxious that they jumped to their feet, at first after seeing the power of those pikemen, he was afraid that he would be too close to the enemy, and he would die under the thunderous blow of the enemy, so he urgently ordered his handsome tent to retreat, who would have thought that just this short period of time when the handsome tent retreated, the heroes would be killed, and the officers and soldiers who temporarily lacked command were suddenly like headless flies, and they were quickly defeated.
