Chapter Forty-Nine: The Destruction of the Army and the Killing of the Sixth

Zhang Xianbi is not the second ancestor after all, but a talent who has been fighting for many years in the wind and rain, and he dare not say that he is a brave general, but he is also proficient in archery and horse archery. There is no reason why he has escaped death several times and has been activated several times.

The two led the team to fight, but after a few rounds, Zhang Xianbi beheaded this child of the Ma family under the horse.

"Who else?" Zhang Xianbi raised his knife and fell, cut off the heads of the children of the Ma family, and threw them on the ground.

The dead head rolled twice on the ground, and then drowned in the smoke.

At this moment, Zhang Xianbi's brigade also arrived.

The so-called generals are brave, seeing how brave Zhang Xianbi is, the soldiers under his command also rushed forward as if they were doping.

The more elite the soldiers, the more disciplined the army, the less they need the encouragement of the generals, in such a battle, it is good to have the first generals, but without them can fight, and even have to worry about the risk of the generals who rush to the front to be beheaded by the enemy.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan restricted this very early on, and senior officers were not allowed to rush into battle.

But the more loosely organized and poorly trained the army, the more it needs fierce generals to boost morale. It is also a matter of mutual need.

And now, neither Wang Long's soldiers nor Ma Luan's soldiers can be called elite, so Zhang Xianbi's actions have led to a surge in the morale of all soldiers.

Ma Luan's department was instantly suppressed.

Money is important, but money is not as important as life.

Therefore, the morale that the silver inspires is also empty.

Zhang Xianbi took the lead and knocked down the momentum of the Yueyang army, which was seen by both sides, Cao Zongyu's originally tense nerves slowly eased, and when he saw that the war was getting better a little bit, he was relieved, he was not in a hurry at the moment.

He's waiting for an opportunity.

Wait for a chance to make a final decision. He needs to wait before waiting for this opportunity.

Maybe it's the lag in the flow of information on the ancient battlefield, it's difficult for a general to explain the so-called heat and timing, and even Cao Zongyu himself can't tell clearly, what is this opportunity he wants to wait for? He's just waiting.

Seeing this situation, Ma Luan was a little breathless.

Seeing that the battle situation was pulled back little by little, Ma Luan couldn't do anything for a while. The silver in hand has been smashed in, and there is no more to smash it, and a lot of it is on the march, and Ma Luan can bring tens of thousands of taels of silver with the army, which is already good. Even if he still has silver, it is in Changsha and Guiyang, and he can't fly.

Since there is no way to reward, you can only punish.

Ma Luan gritted his teeth and ordered himself

The pro-soldiers supervise the battle, and those who dare to take a step back are killed.

There are also some loyal Guiyang soldiers around Ma Luan, many soldiers are attached to the Ma family in the times, and the implementation of Ma Luan's orders is unambiguous.

With silver in one hand and a knife in the other, Ma Luan's methods are simple and rude, but they can't be wrong.

It seems that the mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of people are short. With Ma Luan giving enough money, he killed some of the defeated soldiers, and under the coercion of strict orders, the war between the two sides continued to stalemate. It's just that Ma Luan couldn't wait, and sent an order to the generals below: "Within an hour, the thieves cannot be defeated, and they will all be executed on the spot." ”

Ma Luan's strict order also has his own thinking.

How could Ma Luan not know the truth of one drum, two declines, and three exhaustions. He obviously felt that the momentum of the Ming army was a little weakened, and he thought, if it drags on, the situation may not be good.

This time, the overseer.

However, his order had the opposite effect on him.

Because many times, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is not so solid. Especially for Lu Ding.

Lu Dingnai is a native of Luoyang, Henan, and can be regarded as a scholar, after Li Zicheng conquered Luoyang, he was included in the army by Li Zicheng, and he was also a member of the camp, but he felt that Li Zicheng could not become a big deal, and defected to Zuo Liangyu in a battle.

In the political situation of the Hongguang Dynasty, he felt that Zuo Liangyu was not effective enough, and he also alienated himself from Zuo Liangyu.

I don't know if it's his good vision, or his fate is hard to resist, Li Zicheng is defeated, Zuo Liangyu is defeated, Lu Ding has not been affected much, but it is not without influence, after he alienated Zuo Liangyu, he had no backer in the court, so he became a grandmother who was not close to him, and his grandfather was not loved. Immediately in Ma Luan's eyes, it was not very reliable, after all, Lu Ding had mixed in the camp, and Ma Luan was very suspicious that he would join Li Guo.

If it weren't for Huang Chaoxuan, Zhang Xianbi would have taken refuge in Zhang Xuan respectively. Lu Ding will not be reused either.

At this moment, on the battlefield, the chaos is extreme, the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of screaming, and even the sound of swords and soldiers colliding, filling everyone's eardrums, but there is silence around Lu Ding, no one dares to speak, between this movement and stillness, there is a sharp contrast.

Surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, they couldn't see what was going on inside clearly, and in the innermost, there were only Lu Ding and a young general. Lu Ding sneered and said, "Your brother is really willing, I'm not afraid that you will die in the chaos, and I'm not afraid that I won't be merciful and cut you down?" ”

This young general is Zhang Xianzhen, who is Zhang Xianbi's cousin.

In this era, this is a common situation, and all the generals of one side have some of their own family members around them.

Even Zhang Xuan got some

The children of the Zhang family in Linying, not to mention other people?

Zhang Xianbi sent him to contact Lu Ding, which can be regarded as a bloody investment.

The battlefield is different from usual, as Lu Ding said, the sword has no eyes, Zhang Xianzhen is likely to be killed by the people below if he can't walk in front of Lu Ding.

"I know that Lu Gong is an elder, and the two armies are still fighting and not killing, I am just an old son to vote, even if Lu Gong doesn't use it, he won't kill him." Zhang Xianzhen was still a little afraid at the moment, just a little later than Lu Ding's order, he was going to be put into a box to see Lu Ding.

Lu Ding said: "Okay, you say to you elder, I won't kill you." But don't talk nonsense, if you have something to say, hurry up, and leave cleanly when you're done. ”

Zhang Xianzhen said: "Gong Lu, you know better than us about the current situation, my eldest brother sent me, there is no other meaning, just ask Gong Lu to make a way?" ”

"Huh." Lu Ding sneered and said: "In your brother's heart, I am a traitor in battle? ”

This is not wrong, although Lu Ding has changed his court several times, he cannot be said to be a traitor, whether it is to Li Zicheng or Zuo Liangyu, Lu Ding is just a false and wronged snake. has always looked down on them, and he didn't treat them as lords, but even so, when Lu Ding left, he didn't do anything to be sorry for the two.

Lu Ding may not be a gentleman, but between his actions, he still has the demeanor of a Confucian, and a gentleman will never make a bad noise.

Even though he looked down on Ma Luan, if he ate the food of the Ma family for a day, he would not do anything to rebel.

"Lu Gong thinks twice." Zhang Xianzhen said: "Lu Gong has been excluded in Ming, and he is not allowed to be reused, but when it comes to the Xia Army, it is different, Lu Gong knows that who are in power in the Xia Army?" It is Shaanxi people and Henan people, among which Henan people are the most. Just look at the generals below Zheng Guogong, you will know that Zheng Guogong is a native of Linying, the main general of this battle, General Cao, is a native of Nanyang, and the first army under Zheng Guogong is the Runing Army. Lu Gong has a friendship with his fellow villagers, and with Lu Gong's ability, he will definitely be able to be reused, isn't it better than being a cold bench in the Ming army? ”

Lu Ding had to admit that he was a little moved by what he said.

Lu Ding also felt that he had lost his eyes, he looked down on Li Zicheng at the beginning, and he had seen Cao Cao and Luo Rucai, but he didn't want to really become a climate, but it was the Luo family. Even though Luo Rucai is dead, looking at the foundation left by Luo Rucai and the current situation in Nanming, within a year or two, it is a sure thing that the Xia army will unify the south.

Although Lu Ding has some sincerity towards Daming, but in the troubled times, under several turns, it faded. Faced with the temptation of being a hero of the new dynasty, Lu Ding's heart was moved.

He hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "This can't be done." You go back and tell your brother, although I don't look down on the Ma family, but I am not capricious, I don't do such things. ”
