The centipede-like wriggling legion slowly approached Wang Sen's last lair, the stone Buddha's mouth.

Kang Ning didn't know what kind of preparation Wang Sen had, and the old emperor didn't give him enough time to understand.

Liu Yuewu, the official of the feudal territory who was unknown in history, was still in the army at this time. He didn't immediately go back to prepare Kong Ming's plan.

He needs to follow Kangning's side and send enough favors to his parents and officials in every place to restore the management of the people under his rule, which is much better than waiting for the court to be held accountable and still looking helpless.

It's just that before that, Corning must kill Wang Sen's lair. As long as the spiritual pillar on this side collapses, it will be possible to spread the entire Beizhili and even the larger area.

Kang Ning Yaoyuan looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of Shifokou, as well as the city wall that was obviously not completed, and said in wonder: "Wang Sen has gathered the troops of the Yanhe Battalion, the Santun Battalion, and the Taitou Battalion, does he want to defend the city wall to the end, or is he ready to fight directly in the field?" ”

Liu Yuewu said: "I probably want to use field battles to buy time to build the city wall. He may still feel that the walls give him a sense of security. ”

"With such a brain, there are even rebellions, so it's better to wash and sleep."

Unlike the peasant rebels more than a decade later, the practical experience accumulated by the current grassroots rebels is not very sufficient.

Therefore, from Corning's point of view, Wang Sen's thoughts are inevitably a bit forward-looking.

In fact, the ruling class of the daimyo was even less prepared. They weren't even ready for the baptism of rebellion.

Liu Yuewu can see Wang Sen's thoughts, not because he has the same cognition as Wang Sen. Other words. Such feudal officials are only on a relatively equal level with the grassroots rebels.

If there is a high-level rebel, then there is only one result for Chongzhen to find the crooked neck tree.

Such a level of quality of officials. If you don't lose your country, it's really weird.

However, Kangning has to thank such a level of officials, otherwise, he would not be sure that the Ming Dynasty will be his general base for conquering the world.

However, the current situation is relatively relaxed for him, and several more powerful figures have not yet regarded him as a threat. And the real threat has not yet emerged. This gave Corning plenty of time to build up his wings little by little.

Unplugging Wang Sen is a move that cannot be left untouched in this process.

When Kangning's group practice slowly drove into the stone Buddha mouth and moved twenty miles. Wang Sen seemed to realize that the deadly threat was finally coming.

But to Kangning's surprise, Wang Sen didn't rely on the advantage of numbers to deal with him who had not yet gained a firm foothold. Unleash a surprise attack.

Presumably, the old guy was emphasizing to himself that the formation of troops and marching to fight must be steady and steady.

As everyone knows. If you make a move, you can't even think of it. Then the other party will definitely not think of it.

Of course, taking advantage of the advantage of waiting for work to launch an attack is within the calculation of both sides, and it is not such an advantage.

But what Corning was going to do next was unexpected enough.

A team of soldiers who had not yet rested, their faces were inevitably tired and sent to Wang Sen's military array, and they greeted Wang Sen's eighteenth generation ancestors in standard Beizhili official dialect. Especially the female members of it.

Wang Sen was furious, but he still didn't attack. He seemed to be waiting for something. But it was not noticed by Corning.

Soon after, the person Wang Sen was waiting for finally appeared in their business.

Feng Shimian once again witnessed the big victory of the Qingzhou regiment training yesterday. He had already discussed with the PLO who had just taken refuge in her, if Wang Haoyi's troops could launch an attack, then they would rush forward and cooperate with Wang Haoyi's troops to annihilate the Qingzhou army in one fell swoop.

But their wishful thinking soon turned out to be in vain. Kangning used the simple word food to cornered the invincible Wang Haoyi Peter, and finally committed suicide by jumping from the city tower.

This made Feng Shimian once again lose the opportunity to avenge his partners. So they continued to move forward, and after several more investigations by the Qingzhou Army scouts in a row, they finally arrived at Shifokou today.

It's just that they wasted too much time on the detour on the road, which made them even later than the Qingzhou army.

After Feng Shimian saw Wang Sen, he couldn't help but cry bitterly when he thought of his brothers in the Jianchang camp.

Wang Sen glanced at the Qingzhou Army in the distance, and then looked at Feng Shimian's current expression, and knew that the ending of the Jianchang camp was not optimistic. But at this critical moment, he can't let Feng Shimian cry here, otherwise it will inevitably cause the army's morale to waver.

"Hurry up." He has always regarded Feng Shimian as one of his confidants, and he is the kind of person who can exchange loyalty without using titles and money, so his tone is also very kind, "I already know about Jianchangying." Cod he, didn't he come back with you? ”

Feng Shimian raised his head, thinking of the big brother Xue who had basically been confirmed to be the spy of the Jinyi Guard, but he didn't know whether to tell Wang Sen his true identity.

He hesitated in his heart for a long time, and finally lowered his head without saying a word.

When Wang Sen saw this, he mistakenly thought that he didn't know how to express the bad news to himself, and his mind slowly sank into the dust.

That was his proudest disciple, not one of them. Every time he had an idea, it came to him almost at the same time as the cod. The intimate relationship between two people, especially the tacit understanding that coincides and has a clear heart, is not even comparable to the relationship between biological father and son.

It's not father and son, it's better than father and son.

It can be said that this silent bad news psychologically extinguished the burning ambition in Wang Sen's heart.

But there is no turning back, since he agreed to Gao Yingchen's suggestion, he can only carry it to the end.

After sighing a few times, Wang Sen began to ask about what Feng Shimian had experienced. The reason why Wang Sen has been waiting here is to know from the survivors what the strength of the Qingzhou Army is.

Although he didn't know that it was Feng Shimian who fled back. But there are always two or three faithful people who will run back. That's enough.

The reason why Feng Shimian came back was actually to report the combat capability of the Qingzhou Army to Wang Sen.

For him. The death of the brothers is unacceptable. Although he also vaguely knew the thoughts of Yang Deshi and Liu Dayin, he didn't think that life should be locked up to that extent.

Perhaps it was the difference in his heart that made him often unable to understand Yang Deshi's thoughts while respecting Yang Deshi.

The life trajectories of the two of them are actually very close, but I don't know why, Feng Shimian always feels that sometimes he can't understand the choice of raising at all.

Especially this time, in the case of being able to escape. Yang Deshi chose to die in the fire. Moreover, he and Liu Dayin both knew the true identity of the cod, but they never told anyone.

Feng Shimian was just suspicious. received a stern warning from him.

He didn't know what kind of friendship Yang Deshi had with Cod, but he didn't betray his friends until he died, which was indeed Yang Deshi's practice.

But is there really no room for things to turn around? From Feng Shimian's point of view, this is clearly not the case.

But he didn't have time to assume what was going on right now.

He needed to tell Wang Sen the other party's strength as soon as possible.

Wang Sen nodded as he listened. At last. He became confident.

"It turned out that they only had five or six thousand men and forty or fifty cannons. Are the officers and soldiers under my command inferior to him in number and artillery inferior to him? Hmph, how capable is Kangning, a chaotic thief. ”

At this time, Kang Ning faked the news that he was really doing it, leading his troops into Hebei and fighting with Wang Sen's forces. It has almost alarmed the entire North Zhili. Everyone in the government knew that the two sects had launched a large-scale vendetta.

Just like the situation of Li Guoyong back then. But if someone really saw the scene of the battle between the two sides. It will be found that this level of conflict is definitely not as simple as a clerical fight, but a real regular army fighting.

First, after hearing Feng Shimian's report, Wang Sen sent an overwhelming superior infantry to attack Kangning's phalanx.

And the regimental drills of Qingzhou Mansion, under the cover of artillery, used their classic crab formation to deal with the enemies who rushed up.

Xiang Yi and several other fierce generals are still rampage in the opposing formation using cold weapons, but they will try their best to avoid being driven back into the range of the cannon by the emperor.

The strength of hot weapons has been shown on the battlefield, and the generals who have fought with the same soldiers, seeing the scene in front of them, have clearly understood that war is no longer something that can be solved by individual martial arts.

Fortunately, as long as it is something that comes into contact with death, it is inseparable from such a thing as courage. Even though hot weapons will dominate the battlefield in the future, all wars can only be won by skill and courage.

As long as they still have courage in their chests, they will not completely lose their jobs.

Cai Tinglu, the leader of the Yanhe battalion, had been stabbed to death by Xiang Yi, while the soldiers of the Santun Battalion and the Taitou Battalion suffered heavy losses in the process of charging.

Wang Sen, who was standing from a distance and observing, suddenly felt that Kang Ning's five or six thousand men and horses seemed to be like a whirlpool, frantically sucking away all the soldiers who rushed to their side.

And their own formation has never been chaotic. The bows and arrows kept accumulating, and the sound of the guns was also densely remembered, as if they didn't need to worry about the barrel of the gun overheating.

Soon, Wang Sen felt that they had an advantage in numbers, and they began to be a little unable to support it.

After another cannonball ran over the crowd, Wang Sen finally made a difficult decision.

"Mingjin retreats."

Gao Yingchen, who was standing beside him, originally wanted to stop him, but before he could speak, he was startled by Wang Sen's lost expression.

Once upon a time, Wang Sen, the sect leader who was high in front of the believers, holy and undesecrated, actually showed such a lost expression. As if his life had come to an end, he hid lonely in the afterglow of the sunset.

Gao Yingchen finally kept his mouth shut, he knew that his mentor Wang Sen had officially stepped down from the altar at this moment.

In the next few days, Wang Sen's subordinates set up a defensive position, and with the unfinished city wall, they stubbornly withstood several rounds of artillery bombardment by the Qingzhou regimental trainers.

Seeing that the stock of artillery shells was running out, Corning had to change his mind and find a way to attract the enemy out and fight in the field again.

But after thinking about it, he didn't have a good way to do it, until Hu Luguang offered a poisonous plan.

"It's too shady."

"No way. The so-called last resort is now a last resort. ”

In the end, Kang Ning nodded helplessly and agreed with Hu Luguang's idea.

So, the next day, Wang Sen's subordinates all saw a scene that made them angry.

Wang Haoyi's smashed corpse was lifted high, and several idle soldiers were using their bows and arrows to conduct archery training with his corpse. Without much effort, Wang Haoyi's body was already stuck like a hedgehog.

And under Wang Haoyi's corpse, Wang Haoli was crying bitterly. Ever since he was arrested, he knew that he would be used to blackmail his father. Sometimes, he was even ready to die, but the team trainers didn't give him a chance at all. Along the way, the things that might have been used as weapons were cleared away and far away from him. And his hands were even more tightly tied, just like now, he could only squirm slowly on the ground like a worm.

Of course, around him, there are also a few soldiers who are bullying him.

Wang Sen's subordinates were already gritting their teeth with hatred, especially Wang Sen, although his two sons did not inherit his mantle and become a sect leader, but the flesh and blood relationship was there, and it was impossible for him to turn a blind eye.

So, Corning saw what he wanted to see the most. Gao Yingchen led most of the men and horses to rush out, preparing to fight to the death with the inhumane Qingzhou army while rescuing the two brothers.

But the Qingzhou Army just didn't give him a chance.

Hu Luguang fled with a large group of men and horses, looking like a wolf running away.

Gao Yingchen rushed to the side of the two brothers, hurriedly untied the rope for Wang Haoli, and then prepared to collect Wang Haoyi's body.

But at this time, a feather arrow flew and hit Wang Haoli's heart impartially.

Wang Haoli fell to the ground in response, leaving only He Guan's wild laughter in the distance.

Seeing that the eldest son he had just rescued was killed like this, Gao Yingchen only felt like he had been slapped in the face.

He immediately led his people to continue the pursuit in a fit of rage, although a few of his subordinates felt that things were a little strange, but they didn't dare to stop them.

Until, they entered the cannon range of the Qingzhou regimental training.

The whistling cannonballs had risen into the air, and none of Wang Sen's men knew why they were placed here. The nearby area is obviously an ambush circle that Qingzhou Tuanlian has already designed.

At this point, the general trend has been set.

Kangning stood on a nearby hill, counting who of the enemy's four forces should be the best to destroy first.

However, the cannon was not in the mood to consider his thoughts, and the shells would not recognize people.

As a result, this battle of the five armies, without the participation of hobbits, entered the final stage. (To be continued.) )
