At this level of relationship, in addition to Zhou Xiuying, there is another person who has also seen through it, and this person is Ji Qingwen's strategist Li Yan.

I only heard him say in Ji Qingwen's ear: "Brother Ji, you can be careful, this Qin Xiangzhen girl is a very important person, don't make any mistakes here!" ”

Ji Qingwen said: "I naturally understand this truth. But now that Miss Qin is in the hands of others, it's not like we can do whatever we want. I don't know what kind of trick Brother Li has to save Miss Qin out? ”

Li Yan shook his head and said, "This is a dead move, and you can't win no matter how you play." Brother Ji, I'm just a shallow learner, and I can't think of any way for a while......"

This game of chess rings and buckles is indeed a dead game.

But it was such a dead game, and it was actually played. And the person who played this game of chess, no one thought that it was Qin Xiangzhen, who had become a chess piece in the hands of others.

It turned out that Qin Xiangzhen was made by Zhou Xiuying, which was a very ugly thing, but later it became a bargaining chip for everyone, which made Zhou Xiuying's face even more unbearable.

She was annoyed and angry, and suddenly shouted: "Bah, you are going to make fun of me." Today I am planted, believe it or not, I will bite my tongue and kill myself now, so that all your ideas will be in vain? ”

"Don't, don't, don't!" Hearing this, Ji Qingwen hurriedly shouted, "Miss Qin, there is still room for negotiation in the matter, why bother to kill yourself?" ”

Ji Qingwen was very nervous.

But what is even more nervous than Ji Qingwen is Xu Hongru and Zhou Xiuying of the White Lotus Sect.

Their way forward is now completely blocked by the Ming Wu Army and the White Pole Soldiers, if there is any way to get out, it all depends on whether they can play the trump card of Qin Xiangzhen in their hands well. But if Qin Xiangzhen really committed suicide by biting his tongue like this, then this trump card would naturally be wiped out, and the White Lotus Sect would no longer have the qualifications and capital to bargain with Ji Qingwen.

This was unacceptable to Zhou Xiuying, and hurriedly said to Qin Xiangzhen, who was held in her arms: "Miss Qin, why do you have to be like this, we have something to say, we have something to say." ”

Zhou Xiuying's heart was shaken, and Qin Xiangzhen seized the opportunity.

I saw Qin Xiangzhen's head lower slightly, opened his mouth, revealing a mouth full of fine white teeth, and bit the short knife that was originally on his neck in one bite. Biting the blade was not enough, Qin Xiangzhen's head shook vigorously to the left and right, and he actually wanted to snatch the short knife in Zhou Xiuying's hand with his teeth.

Zhou Xiuying panicked now.

You must know that although the two short knives she used are not divine weapons, they are also good knives that have been passed down from the Western Regions. And Zhou Xiuying's mouth is such a sharp blade, and she makes such a big move, it is difficult to ensure that no accidents will happen.

Now Zhou Xiuying, as if holding a precious bird in her hand and likes to flutter around, can't pinch this annoying bird to death with a heavy hand, and if she accidentally lets go, the little bird recovers its freedom from her fingers.

And Qin Xiangzhen is this little bird.

I saw that she took advantage of Zhou Xiuying's slightly soft-hearted mouth, and suddenly used a force in her neck, and really snatched the short sword in Zhou Xiuying's hand with her mouth, regardless of the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, she immediately took the short knife from her mouth, raised her hand and slashed it off Zhou Xiuying's left wrist holding another short knife.

Zhou Xiuying didn't expect that she still had some leeway to deal with Qin Xiangzhen, but Qin Xiangzhen was so ruthless, so she hurriedly raised her short knife to meet her, and immediately fought with Qin Xiangzhen again.

Qin Xiangzhen's marksmanship is exquisite, but he has only learned a beginner's skill in the short knife - he uses the short knife that he grabbed at first glance and is not very accustomed to using it, although he wields it with a tiger's style, but there are many flaws in it.

Zhou Xiuying saw that Qin Xiangzhen's knife technique was very messy here, and there was quite a bit of an opportunity to take advantage of it, but now she was holding the knife in her left hand, which was still a little inconvenient compared to her right hand, although she saw the flaws in Qin Xiangzhen's knife technique, she only cared about resisting and had no time to fight back.

These two women, all of them have graceful figures and smart movements, and they can see that the officials and the White Lotus Sect are stupid, if it weren't for the fact that they are still on the battlefield of your death, maybe there are really a few good idlers who call "good".

Ji Qingwen was also a little moved at first glance, but he heard Yang Zhan say in his ear: "Lord Ji, now that the White Lotus Sect Zhou Xiuying is fighting with General Qin, it is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy army!" ”

Ji Qingwen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "What idea?" ”

Yang Zhan has read traditional Chinese military books since he was a child, and learned the traditional cold weapon warfare methods, so he may not be familiar with the tactics of the Ming Wu Army based on muskets, artillery, and chariots, but he knows the tactics of the cold weapon era such as pikemen, shield soldiers, short knife soldiers, and archers.

Regarding this point, Ji Qingwen only listened to Yang Zhan's introduction in a few words, and felt that he was extremely reasonable, and after a little thought, he temporarily handed over the command of the army to Yang Zhan.

I saw that Yang Zhan, in the name of Ji Qingwen, first gave orders, asking the white pole soldiers to line up and slowly move forward, thus gradually squeezing the activity space of the White Lotus Sect. While gradually moving forward, we must pay special attention to avoiding Qin Xiangzhen and Zhou Xiuying, who are fighting to the death.

Yang Zhan's motive is very clear, what he wants is to overwhelm people with power, and to envelop Qin Xiangzhen and Zhou Xiuying in their huge advantages - in this way, not only Qin Xiangzhen can be rescued, but Zhou Xiuying can also be captured at the same time.

Although this group of white pole soldiers didn't know what Yang Zhan's intentions were, they also understood that only by listening to the orders of this handsome-looking and decisive general could they rescue their main general.

Therefore, these white-pole soldiers, according to the usual training, lined up in a neat and tight formation shoulder to shoulder and hand to hand, and held the spears in their hands one by one, taking firm and heavy steps, with an unstoppable momentum, slowly advancing forward.

The neat and powerful pace of the white pole soldiers reminded Xu Hongru of a not good memory decades ago, and quickly endured the pain in his shoulder, and ordered Xu Daoqing to immediately start defense, no matter what the intentions of the white pole soldiers on the opposite side were, stop their advance first.

Xu Daoqing got the order, but when he looked up, he saw the formation of the white pole soldiers on the opposite side, as if he had seen a brick wall full of thorns, and after thinking about it, even if his own elites were exhausted, it was not possible to break through this extremely solid wall from the front.

So Xu Daoqing made a move, and quickly picked up a few disciples of the White Lotus Sect who had some light skills, and instructed them to cut through the two wings of the White Pole Soldier formation, looking for gaps and weaknesses on their left and right sides to attack.

Unexpectedly, these White Lotus Sect disciples cut in quickly, but they died faster.

It turned out that Yang Zhan was well versed in the art of war, and knew that although the formation of the white pole soldiers was stable, especially the front, which was almost invulnerable, there were many loopholes on the two wings.

In addition, the formation of the white pole soldiers is slightly cumbersome, and it may be difficult to quickly turn and respond when the enemy attacks the two flanks. And even if you can turn to the wings, it will show a hole in the middle.

As for the solution to this problem, Yang Zhan was ingenious and used the musket in the hands of the "Ming Wu Army".

I saw that those disciples who were quite skilled in martial arts in the White Lotus Sect, after listening to the order of the "senior brother" Xu Daoqing, had just scattered and rushed over from the two wings, and before they had time to draw their swords and slash at the opponent's seemingly weak flank attack, they were greeted by a fierce musket from the Ming Wu Army.

The strategy of using muskets to protect the spear formation can be said to be no better, which will not hinder the movement of the spear formation, and can form an impermeable protective net on both wings of the formation, which can be described as seamless.

Therefore, Ji Qingwen deserves to be Xu Daoqing's bitter master, so that Xu Daoqing's rather proud use of troops came to naught in a moment - and this time, Ji Qingwen did not do it himself at all, but only sent his general Yang Zhan.

In any case, the countermeasures of the White Lotus Sect fell short under Yang Zhan's operation, and naturally there was no way to resist the overwhelming offensive of the white pole soldiers, and they were gradually pushed back by the offensive of the white pole soldiers by a distance of twenty or thirty steps.
