Chapter 168: Fallen

Seeing that Fei Hong commanded the Ningxiang army to fight well, Sun Yuan was very determined and greatly admired: this old Fei was just an officer of a border army firearms battalion before, but this time he commanded the troops to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy, but he was in good order, and it can be seen that this old man has the potential to be a general of the unified army.

It's just that how come you haven't heard of this person's name in real history?

When I thought about it again, I knew it in my heart. The civil service system of the Ming Dynasty paid attention to a serious background, as long as you passed the examination, even if you were a poor boy before, you can immediately become famous all over the world. But it is extremely difficult for a martial artist to get ahead. For example, the Guanning Army was firmly grasped by the Liaoxi Military Gate, and the guerrillas and general soldiers inside were not attacked from generation to generation. Your grandfather and father were officials before, and you are also an official now. It is simply impossible for a junior officer to squeeze into the ranks of senior generals.

The upward channel is basically blocked.

In this way, I don't know how many talents have been buried, and Fei Hong is probably the same. If he hadn't met Sun Yuan, it is estimated that his seventh-rank military attache would have been forever and then passed on to his descendants.

"Bang!" Just when the Ningxiang military formation was shrinking, musketeers from all four sides fired at the same time. Almost in an instant, the entire Ning Xiang Army was surrounded by a circle of white gunsmoke.

It's a breathtakingly spectacular scene.

Sun Yuan rode his war horse for a while, and as the terrain became lower, the situation ahead could no longer be seen clearly. The crowd of rebels around him became more and more dense, and there were black heads rolling around everywhere, making people dizzy.

Fortunately, the forward battalion of the intruding army had completely collapsed, and when he saw Sun Yuan rushing over from his side, no one came to stop him.

In fact, the clothing of the soldiers was very chaotic, some were wearing the clothes of the border army of the Ming Dynasty, some were dressed as village warriors, and some even carried a wooden stick, which looked no different from ordinary people.

Sun Yuan is mixed in, and others can't tell who he is?

At this time, a woman's scream came from the front, this voice sounded familiar, and Sun Yuan's heart sank, and he couldn't help but look up.

As Liu Zongmin's former master, Sun Yuan was naturally very clear about the situation of breaking into the army.

Everywhere they went, they would loot the place and trap all the people in the army, and if it snowballed, it would get bigger and bigger. The young and strong of the coerced people can be used to replenish the army, and the old and weak women and children can also be used as consumption when attacking fortifications. However, it was Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng who also felt that everyone was mixed together, and the team was not easy to command. Therefore, the army implements a separate camp system for men and women. Liu Zongmin's forward battalion is one of the main forces with the strongest combat effectiveness in the army, so naturally there will be no women.

Hearing this familiar scream, Sun Yuan looked up sharply and immediately took a breath of cold air.

It turned out that there was a big bow in front of him, with a big "Liu" embroidered on it, and Sun Yuan ran away indiscriminately just now, but he unconsciously rushed to the front of Liu Zongmin's Chinese army banner.

A tall woman with an embroidered spring knife in her hand was screaming and slashing at the intruding soldiers beside her: "Get out, get out!" ”

This person turned out to be Zhu Xuanshui's daughter Zhu Ting.

Sun Yuan was very curious in his heart, wasn't this woman on the hill, when did she run over?

However, this eldest sister's martial arts are really good. It's just that the combat experience is a little worse, especially on this kind of battlefield where life and death are fighting.

But I saw that the embroidered spring knife in Zhu Ting's hand danced into a ball of silver light, and every time the knife went down, it could always easily cut the enemy's neck in the vital place, which could be called accurate and ruthless.

One after another, heads with gaping mouths flew into the air.

In the blink of an eye, several lives were harvested.

Zhu Ting was covered in blood, his tall figure and beautiful face were shrouded in red, like a phoenix flying in the flames, but he had a unique sense of beauty.

Sun Yuan felt some admiration in his heart, and he was very interested. After traveling to the Ming Dynasty, the women he saw were either thin or rude village girls. The woman in front of her is tall and big, and she has practiced good martial arts, which is really eye-opening.

I don't know how her martial arts were practiced.

I guess I learned it from her father.

Fei Hong can also be regarded as a first-class player in the Ningxiang Army, and listening to him, Zhu Xuanshui's martial arts are even higher. After Fahon punched him that day, his wrist was injured by the force of the shock, and it took several days to recover.

I heard that the Jinyi Guards are all descendants of the nobles, and they must be family heirloom martial arts.

Although Sun Yuan is a layman, he has a lot of experience in dealing with others, and he immediately saw Zhu Ting's problems. The embroidered spring knife is already sharp, and when you use it, you only need to cut the enemy's throat with a light cut, and it doesn't take much effort. But this eldest sister used a knife, and every time she made a move, she used all her strength to greet others directly on the cervical vertebrae. With a knife down, it is true that the head is rolling with amazing momentum. The neck vertebrae are already hard, she is a woman after all, and after only a few heads, she is so tired that she is panting and sweating.

If it goes on like this, maybe in a few moments, this girl will die in the chaos.

Sure enough, it was another knife down. This time, Zhu Ting was exhausted, but he didn't cut off the enemy's head with a single sword. The embroidered spring knife was embedded in the man's neck bone.

"Ahh The enemy screamed and fell with his sword, instantly overwhelmed by the crowd.

"Ahh Zhu Ting, who was empty-handed, realized that it was not good, and his face instantly turned white. I just tugged on the reins tightly, not knowing what to do.

Originally, Sun Yuan was not a nosy person, and to put it mildly, he was heartless. Zhu Ting's life or death has nothing to do with him, and he now returns to his own position as soon as possible at the most important time and re-commands the Ningxiang Army to fight. Moreover, this is already Liu Zongmin's Chinese army, and I don't know how many enemy elites there are.

Although Sun Yuan has been looking for an opportunity to kill Liu Zongmin and avenge his revenge when he was in Fengyang. However, revenge can also be premised on ensuring one's own safety. If you want to kill him, you have to go back and master the troops first. Doing it alone is tantamount to sending it to death, and the wise do not do it.

Just as he was about to turn the horse's head away, Zhu Ting also found Sun Yuan and shouted: "The thief surnamed Sun, throw a weapon here!" ”

If she hadn't found Sun Yuan, Sun Yuan would naturally have left secretly. But now that I have been named, I am a little embarrassed to abandon it.

Sun Yuan was helpless, so he had to stop his horse and laughed: "Miss Zhu, you have a request for me, why do you keep screaming at the thief?" ”

Zhu Ting was furious, "When are you still talking about this?" Sun Yuan boy, throw a weapon here! ”

Sun Yuan looked around, the surrounding peasant soldiers were only concerned about fleeing for their lives, and they had already thrown away the weapons in hand, and some of them took off their jackets and tattered armor while running to reduce their weight.

It is very difficult to find a weapon that can be used for a while.

You can still grab one or two wooden sticks and hoes, but you can throw them to Zhu Ting, is it appropriate?

After thinking about it, Sun Yuan had no choice but to pull out the sword on his waist and throw it at Zhu Ting. Shouted: "Catch! ”
