When the soldiers of the Jizhou army swarmed in from outside the palace gate, Yang Qiu and Yan Xing had just come to their senses.

Looking at the Jizhou army that was pouring in like wolves and tigers, Yang Qiu and Yan Xing couldn't help but close their eyes in despair, they knew that the possibility of their escape today was almost zero.

However, soon the two of them rekindled their fighting spirit, because although the opponent's attack was very short just now, they saw the generals of the other party's army clearly.

It was Ma Dai, the remnant of the Ma family who was almost wiped out by them before, if it was someone else, they might still have a chance to live.

But if they are replaced by the people of the Ma family, even if they have nine lives, they will be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell by the Ma family.

So the moment they saw Ma Dai, Yang Qiu and Yan Xing were ready to fight to the death, but they didn't expect that this moment would come so quickly.

Especially at this time, they heard Ma Daiyin's shouts that were a little out of tune with excitement.

Ma Dai was only heard loudly announcing to his soldiers that whoever could kill either of them would receive a first-class military merit.

If it was possible to capture either of them alive, then he Ma Dai personally begged Liu Yuan to bestow that warrior with third-level military merits.

You must know that at this time, the perversion of Jizhou's military merit system has become famous with their strong combat effectiveness.

It is said that the difficulty of the Jizhou army to obtain first-class military merits is not inferior to that of other princes.

Most of the princes were laughing at Liu Yuan before, saying that if he persisted like this, in the end, he would not even be able to recruit a single soldier except to arrest people to replenish the troops.

However, as time passed, these princes were shocked to find that the proportion of Qingzhuang who took the initiative to join the army in Jizhou was much higher than that under their rule.

This puzzled them for a time, and it was only recently that they fully understood why.

It turns out that although it is very difficult to obtain military merits in the Jizhou Army, once military merits are obtained, the ensuing benefits can definitely make ordinary people crazy.

In Jizhou, as long as a soldier has obtained a first-class military merit, he can receive his salary on time every month, which has already made the soldiers of the rest of the princes out of reach.

You must know that during this period, except for Liu Yuan, there was no prince who would pay his soldiers.

Generally, some grains are paid as military salaries, and they may not be paid several times a year.

And the Jizhou army not only receives salaries on time every month, but also distributes food on time every month, which is enough to attract the enthusiasm of ordinary people to join the army.

But this is not the most perverted, with the soldiers with military merits in the Jizhou army, their families are equivalent to having a stable living guarantee.

Generally, a family of five, but if there is a soldier with military merits, then the family's ten years of eating and drinking can be considered a solution

How can such a system not make those people in Jizhou crazy?

This is only the benefits obtained by the first-level military merits, and the second- and third-level military merits on the upper levels, the benefits obtained even make some middle and lower-level generals of the princes' armies feel excited!

As long as there are third-level military merits in the Jizhou army, then you only need to know a thousand more words, and you will immediately be recognized as the general of the Jizhou army.

Although it is only the lowest-level general, if you talk about treatment, it will even make most of the middle and lower-level generals of the princely army ashamed to death.

Now that Ma Dai is actually rewarding with third-level military merits, you can imagine how crazy those Jizhou soldiers will be, which also proves how much Ma Dai hates them from another side.

They are not three-year-old children, they will be naïve enough to think that Ma Daisheng captured them to surrender, even if they think about it with their knees, they will know how miserable the end of being captured by Ma Daisheng is!

In order not to give Ma Dai this chance, even if the two of them already had the intention of surrendering, they would be completely wiped out by Ma Dai's words at this moment.

After Yang Qiu and Yan Xing glanced at each other, the two of them made up their minds to fight to the death almost at the same time.

At this time, Yan Xing also thought that Ma Dai did not find out that he was secretly ambushing.

After giving Yang Qiu a look, he led his men to continue to ambush in the darkness under the palace walls.

And after Yang Qiu got Yan Xing's signal, he rushed out with someone in his heart.

He believed that as long as Yan Xing was given a little chance, Yan Xing would be sure to cut off Ma Dai's head!

When Yang Qiu appeared in front of Ma Dai with his men and horses, Ma Dai really showed extreme anger.

He took his men without regard and killed Yang Qiu's men and horses.

This made Yang Qiu and Yan Xing, who was ambushed in the shadows, immediately feel a sense of relief, as long as they could kill Ma Dai, they would have the certainty of taking advantage of the chaos to rush out.

Yang Qiu and Yan Xing have been colleagues for many years, although Yan Xing just gave him a look just now, he has completely understood Yan Xing's intentions.

After seeing Ma Dai rushing over regardless of it, he immediately led people to greet him, as long as his people and Ma Dai's people were glued together, Yan Xing's opportunity came.

Soon his men and horses were fighting with Ma Dai's men and horses, and the battle became extremely fierce in an instant.

On the one hand, Yang Qiu, who wants to live, and on the other hand, Ma Dai, who wants to annihilate the other party, the battle between the two is definitely needle-to-needle!

Yang Qiu kept blocking Ma Dai's attack while constantly observing the situation in the field.

As soon as he thought he could start it, he would immediately send a signal to Yan Xing.

Originally, Yang Qiu's initial idea was that he would at least have to fight with Ma Dai for about fifty moves before he could give Yan Xing a signal.

Because at that time, it was the time when Ma Dai's old power had been lost and his new power had not been born, as long as Yan Xing made a move, Ma Dai didn't even have the strength to resist, and he would be killed by Yan Xing on the spot!

But when Yang Qiu and Ma Dai fought each other, it was only twenty rounds later, and he already had a feeling of powerlessness.

After barely resisting for less than ten rounds, Yang Qiu knew that he definitely couldn't wait until fifty moves to send out the signal!

Because if there are ten more moves, he will definitely die at the hands of Ma Dai.

Although now was not the best time to launch, in order to save his life, he couldn't care so much, and Yang Qiu was about to call Yan Xing out when he opened his mouth.

But at this time, Ma Dai let out a whistle even faster than him.

This made Yang Qiu stunned at that time, why did Ma Dai send a signal, could it be that he had arranged it in advance?

His suspicions were soon confirmed, and after Ma Dai's whistle, a thousand strangely dressed soldiers rushed in from the dark palace gates.

After the thousand soldiers rushed in, they immediately raised a strangely shaped bow and crossbow in their hands, and pulled the trigger on Yan Xing's men and horses who were ambushing in the dark.

After hearing only a burst of "buzzing, buzzing" sound like a swarm of bees, Yan Xing's men and horses actually fell by as many as eighty percent!
