Shi Qian Tang Long and others received the order, and then received the silver and applied things to prepare, Du Jia wrote back to Hu Yanzhuo and asked Zhao Nan to bring it back, in the letter he agreed to the other party's appointment to fight, the time was set a month later today, the location was selected in the south of Liangshan more than ten miles away in a place called Bailonggang, where there is a large plain, enough for the two sides of the four thousand soldiers to fight fiercely.

The time moved their line very smoothly, more than ten days later, Xu Ning was brought to Du Jia, Du Jia was very polite to him, and gave him a loose choice, if he was willing to stay in Liangshan to seek a great cause, they were naturally very welcome, but if Xu Ning wanted to live the previous life, it was okay, as long as he helped train a team of hook and sickle guns here, and let him and his family go back after breaking Hu Yanzhuo's chain of horses, in addition to giving 10,000 taels of silver 'convulsion fee'.

This is the difference between Du Jia and Song Jiang, although the latter likes to talk about loyalty and righteousness, but he can only be described as 'vicious' when he does things, he has to force people to pretend to be good people after they have no way to retreat or even their families are ruined, so as to be forced to go up the mountain, while Du Jia leaves the choice to the other party, as long as you want to stay and leave after you help me do things, he wants to stay people who have the same idea, not forced to come.

Xu Ning decided to stay after thinking about it again, on the one hand, because he was very moved by Du Jia's frank treatment, and on the other hand, he was also very sad and indignant about the current situation of the imperial court, although he was living a good life now, but he also witnessed that many of his colleagues who were able to do things were often suppressed and excluded, such as Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and other raw material friends are like this, and those who mix well are often good at bragging, scavenging and looting people's fat and people's cream, such as Cai Jingqiu, Brother Tong Guan and their subordinates, He, the head of the forbidden army's golden gun class, is basically over.

At this time, the 1,000 hook and sickle guns have been built, and then Xu Ning selected five hundred long and strong elite men in the infantry army, let everyone gather in the school field, and then pick up their own gilt hook and sickle guns, everyone was dazzled, and then Xu Ning carefully explained: "But if you immediately make such a weapon, you can step up in the waist and crotch, go up to the middle seven roads, three hooks and four dials, one pinch and one point, a total of nine changes." If you make this hook and sickle on foot, it will be most useful. First, make eight steps and four dials, and open the door; Twelve steps to change, sixteen steps to turn around. Divide the hook and sickle, twenty-four steps, move up and down, hook east and west; Thirty-six steps, covered all over the body, grabbed

Tough fighting: This is the hook and sickle method. There is a poem as evidence: 'Four dials and three hooks lead to seven roads, and a total of nine changes and magic machines. Twenty-four steps before and after, 16 flips around the circle. ’”

Then he personally practiced all the way and explained all the way, everyone was very happy to see it, Du Jia Yang Zhi and other good hands who used guns were even more careful to learn on the side, of course, this marksmanship itself is also extremely exquisite, not under the Yang family gun, naturally it is impossible for so many people to learn, this is very unfair to Xu Ning, and it is also beyond the ability of these minions, Du Jia let them only learn the hook of the next three ways, and then practice well, as long as they can hook the horse's hooves when the time comes.

Then when the five hundred hook gunners were practicing, Du Jia also called Xu Ning to compete in marksmanship together, and after learning from each other, both sides felt that they had improved, and everyone was happy.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is the day of the battle with Hu Yanzhuo, the five hundred hook gunners here have also learned the hook and sickle of the next three roads, this morning Du Jia asked the logistics staff to arrange a hearty breakfast for everyone, stewed cooked yellow beef, big steamed buns, egg soup, a basket of boiled eggs, let everyone let go of eating and drinking, after everyone had a full meal, Du Jia still arranged Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, Qin Ming, Shi Jin, Hua Rong, Luan Tingyu six people still led two companies of cavalry as before, Then Xu Ning hid behind the horse team with five hundred hook gunners, and Du Jia commanded in the center.

Duja's arrangement was to paralyze Hu Yanzhuo and make them think that their side was still planning to use cavalry against his cavalry, so that they would lose their guard and think that they would win, but in fact, the real killing was on the hookgunners behind these cavalry, and after they had hooked the first few rows of cavalry of the other side, and then the cavalry would take advantage of the chaos to attack the enemy from both sides.

The remaining infantry Du Jia asked Du Qian to take them to wait in his hometown, and gave a death order, they were only allowed to wait here in this battle, and they must not go to Bailonggang, no matter what happened, he also specially instructed the faceless Jiao Ting, the eight-armed Nezha Xiang Chong and the Flying Sage Li Gon The three of them firmly stared at the black whirlwind Li Kui, so that he could not go down to make trouble.

Next, Du Jia led the team to Bailonggang, only to see that the people on Huyanzhuo's side had already come, and the two thousand chain horses had been neatly arranged on the opposite side, and the people of Liangshan took a closer look, these war horses were really covered in cowhide armor all over their bodies, and only a pair of eyes came out, and the cavalry on the horse was also fully clothed, and also wore a helmet that only showed eyes, and then a row was exactly a hundred, all tied in one place with iron chains, a total of twenty rows.

And Hu Yanzhuo is extremely trustworthy, in addition to these two thousand chain horses, only a few dozen officers have brought them, it seems that most of them are adjutant generals and staff officers, Zhao Nan is also among them, after seeing the people from Liangshan coming, Hu Yanzhuo urged the horse to stand not far in front of Du Jia, and then clasped his hands into fists and said: "The master of Du Zhai is really a believer, he came as promised, I don't know if he is fully prepared?" If you still need to adjust, it doesn't hurt to wait a few more days. ”

Du Jia waved his hand and asked Lu Zhishen, Qin Ming and the others to line up as well, and then rode out of the queue and said: "General Huyan is polite, we are ready, thinking that after this battle, everyone will be their own people, and they can work together to conspire for the great cause and do the right thing for the heavens, my heart is really happy." ”

Hu Yanzhuo didn't think about it, and said with a faint smile: "Oh? I didn't expect the master of Du Zhai to be so confident in himself, but I also have to remind me that our Hu family's serial horses are not in vain, maybe the final result is that you have to give up the three mansions, hehe. ”

Du Jia also smiled: "We will see who wins and who loses, but I still have something to ask for, and I hope General Huyan can agree." ”

Hu Yanzhuo was surprised: "If the Lord of Du Zhai has any request, as long as I can do it and it does not affect the fairness of this battle, I will definitely agree." ”

Du Jia said seriously: "General Huyan will definitely be able to do this, if this battle has reached the point where one side has the upper hand and the victory and defeat have been divided, I hope that the losing side can take the initiative to surrender and not let the soldiers bleed needlessly, General Huyan can agree?" ”

Hu Yanzhuo immediately nodded and said: "This is very good, Lord Du Zhai's intention is deeply in line with my heart, so it is decided." ”

Manjushri Bodhisattva's dojo is in Wutai Mountain, Shanxi, and it is also the first Buddhist holy place in China, and the mount is the green lion, that is, the boss in the lion camel country in Journey to the West, who swallowed 100,000 heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals in one bite, and the heavenly soldiers are really pitiful, as long as it is a monster, it seems that they can bully them twice, and feel sorry for them for three seconds; By the way, the second is the white elephant, the mount of the Fuxian Bodhisattva, and the third is the brother of the Buddha, who is also the most powerful monster in the entire Journey to the West, the Dapeng Golden-winged Bird.
