Just as the rebels were attacking, the artillery fire and arrows of the officers poured out, blocking the speed of the rebels' charge.

In front of Zhang Hualong's horse formation, he saw that the officers and troops were leaning on the dangerous terrain of the Xiongjiao Pass, and set up two Hongyi cannons on the hills, gathering hundreds of officers and soldiers to resist stubbornly, and many rebel brothers had been killed and wounded at the bottom of the hills.

Is this worth it? He quickly counted two hundred knights and said, "Follow me!" ”。 They dismounted and rushed up the hill with a shout.

Ma Yuanli also noticed Zhang Hualong's actions, he ordered the drum beaters to beat the drums, and watched the cavalry led by Zhang Hualong with great nervousness, they jumped over the wooden fence and the trench, but could not get past the obstacles arranged with large tree branches, and even a few brothers were shot and shot off their horses.

When he was sweating for Zhang Hualong, he suddenly saw that this small army under the leadership of Zhang Hualong all got off their horses, rushed towards the mountain quickly, and disappeared into the smoke of gunpowder. Soon, the two cannons of the official army were silent, and they must have been solved by Zhang Hualong. He would not miss this opportunity, and with a wave of his hand, he led his subordinates to rush forward to aid Zhang Hualong.

"The thieves are coming!" Some of the defenders on the hill cried out in panic, and at this shout, the defenders were suddenly in confusion, and their will to fight dropped to the freezing point, except for a few who were still resisting stubbornly, most of them began to flee from their positions, and the hill gradually returned to its original quiet.

In the smoke of gunpowder and the chaotic white-knuckle battle, Ma Yuanli and Zhang Hualong met.

"Well done with the dragon!"

"Don't let the turtle son run away!" Zhang Hualong rode on the horse led by his own soldiers, and pointed to the officers and soldiers who had fled.

At this time, Wang Shangli from the other road also led his generals to kill, and the rebels broke through the enemy camp from several places.

Although Wang Yunfeng was a general, under the overwhelming offensive of the rebel army, his men and horses were completely in chaos, many people were fleeing, and he couldn't stop the rout by killing three people even if he did. He had no choice but to retreat, and withdrew with three or four hundred people to the last pass leading to the old camp of Diling, and on the one hand, he was in a hurry with Zhang Yingyuan's Pegasus, and on the other hand, he was waiting for help.

The person sent to report to Zhang Yingyuan didn't go for a while before turning his head and seeing Wang Yunfeng report: "The big thing is not good, the old camp has been occupied by thieves, and General Zhang doesn't know where to go." ”

"Okay, you Zhang Yingyuan, don't say hello, you will run away!" While Wang Yunfeng scolded, he led his remnants of the defeated army to run in the direction of Dachang.

It was Gao Junshan who copied Zhang Yingyuan's old nest, he took advantage of the battle between Ma Yuanli and Wang Yunfeng, and led Dou Mingwang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ma Jin, Li Hu, and Li Derong to raid Zhang Yingyuan's old nest in the land ridge.

As soon as the main general left, the defenders no longer had the courage to resist, and they all surrendered to the high mountain.

After taking the land ridge, Gao Junshan ordered Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Li Hu, and Li Derong to lead 10,000 troops to the ferry and destroy Luo Wenyuan and Hu Ru who were guarding there.

After taking full control of the land ridge, Gao Junshan did not rush to cross the river to pursue the remnants, but ordered the troops to rest on the spot, wait for the artillery of the logistics department to arrive, and then cross the river to attack Dachang.

Five days later, the transport team of the Logistics Department sent 30 Hongyi cannons and 800 Buddha Lang machine guns to the Chinese army camp in Gao Junshan, and at the same time came 300 Chongwen disciples from Gao Junshan.

Of course, to manage the whole of Sichuan, it is not enough to rely on these 300 people, these 300 people are the backbone of Gao Jun Mountain, and then recruit Ming court officials and local scholars who are willing to take refuge in Gao Jun Mountain, and manage the whole of Sichuan, even including the Hanzhong region.

With the support of artillery fire, Gao Junshan began to cross the river and march towards Dachang.

However, it was said that Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, learned that the rebel army was beginning to approach Dachang, and he was already in chaos, so he hurriedly handed over the responsibility of defending Dachang to the deputy general Shao Zhongguang, but he fled to Kuizhou, and at the same time flew Qin Liangyu to the aid of Dachang.

Qin Liangyu is a Miao woman, although her family is deeply influenced by Han culture and sinicized, but still maintains the characteristics of Miao strong and martial arts. In the first year of Mingshenzong Wanli, she was born in the suburbs of Lotte Town, Zhongzhou, Sichuan, by the Mingyu River, where the mountains and rivers are around, the terrain is majestic, and the scenery is beautiful.

She is the only girl in the family, she was born like a flower since she was a child, smart and clever, and is deeply loved by her parents. Her father not only taught Liangyu poetry, calligraphy and painting according to the demeanor of the Han people, but also did not forget the tradition of the Miao family, and trained her to dance with guns and sticks, ride horses and shoot arrows since she was a child.

In the twentieth year of Mingshenzong Wanli, she had just turned twenty years old and married Ma Qiancheng, the envoy of Shizhu Xuanfu. Shizhu also belongs to Zhongzhou, not far from Qin Liangyu's maiden home, is a county dominated by Miao people, and the Ming court set up Xuanfu envoys to govern these Miao people who submitted to the Ming Dynasty. Ma Qiancheng is not a Miao person, his ancestral home is Fufeng, Shaanxi, because his ancestors established military exploits, he was named the stone pillar Xuanfu envoy, and the official position was inherited from generation to generation, and finally passed on to Ma Qiancheng. Because the stone pillar is located in a remote area, the people are fierce, and rebellions arise from time to time; Therefore, the most important responsibility of the Xuanfu envoy is to train soldiers and horses and maintain stability. Qin Liangyu married into the Ma family, it can be said that the hero has found a place to use, her Wen Taowu strategy came in handy, and in a few years, she helped her husband train a brave and warlike "white pole soldier".

The so-called "white pole soldier", is to hold the white pole spear as the main force, this white pole spear is Qin Liangyu according to the local terrain characteristics and create a weapon, it is made of strong white wood to make a long pole, with a bladed hook on the top, with a hard iron ring below, when fighting, the hook can be cut and pulled, the ring can be used as a hammer weapon, if necessary, dozens of spear hooks and loops are connected, it can be used as a tool to climb the wall over the mountain, the cliff can be climbed instantly, it is very suitable for mountain combat. Ma Qiancheng relied on this white pole soldier of thousands of men and horses to power the town in all directions.

There are three crossings on the Daning River, namely Shangmadu, Zhongmadu and Xiamadu, all of which are necessary places to attack Dachang.

After receiving the order to guard Dachang, the deputy general Shao Zhongguang hurriedly divided his troops to guard the three ferries of the Daning River, which originally had fortresses built of stones, and were equipped with pits, deer and thistles, and a lot of firearms and crossbows were placed in the forts.

He hoped that with the turbulent flow of the Daning River, the steep banks of the river, and these defensive arrangements on the bank, he could hold on until Qin Liangyu's reinforcements arrived. He believed that as long as he waited for the reinforcements of the "white pole soldiers", Gao Junshan would not be able to cross the Daning River. Even if it develops in the worst direction, the Daning River crossing is lost, Dachang is lost, and Shao Jiechun covers himself, he can completely put the blame on Qin Liangyu and condemn this old lady for failing to rescue.

He was complacent, and when he wanted to get into trouble, the guard in front of him came back to report.

"Report to General Shao, the outpost of Gao Junshan has approached the Daning River."

Shao Zhongguang reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing running back? Hurry up and command your men to stop the thieves! ”

The person who came knelt on the ground with a "poof": "Back to General Shao, my men and horses stationed at the ferry heard that the high thieves were coming, and they all fled from the ferry, and there is no one left to guard the ferry." ”

Shao Zhongguang was taken aback and asked, "Why did these people run away?" ”

The visitor cried, "Because they have been in arrears for too long, they have been asked to die, and they have all run away." ”

The team led by Shao Zhongguang, starting from Shao Zhongguang, deducted the food and salary of the lower-level soldiers layer by layer to fatten themselves, which often happened.

Now it's okay, this crime of losing the defense can't be relied on Qin Yuliang, because Qin Liangyu's reinforcements haven't arrived yet, and his men and horses have already dispersed. He only sent someone to Kuizhou to lie to the governor that he was supervising the soldiers to resist desperately, killing the thieves and causing countless casualties and rivers of blood; On the one hand, he escaped from Dachang with a few cronies.
