Chapter 803: An Unexpected Discovery (I)
Everything is a game, and it is completely in Yang Zhen's calculations. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After encountering Liu Sanyuan before, and fighting with him for a while, and finally relying on a little luck to kill this strong enemy, Yang Zhen already knew very well in his heart that there must be more powerful characters in the White Lotus Sect than himself, and if he wanted to deal with them, it was difficult to rely on his own martial arts alone, and he could only use some means and strategies.
Just after deciding to encircle and suppress Baijia Village, the main altar of the White Lotus Sect, Yang Zhen went to meet Qin Ze, a guerrilla general from Hu Guanglai. In fact, this time the troops used against Baijia Village, whether it was the main attacking team or the surrounding army on the periphery, were all local soldiers and horses in Guangxi, and they did not use Huguang reinforcements, and he went to see Qin Ze just to borrow one thing from him - muskets!
The people of this era, even the generals who were accustomed to using soldiers and brought a lot of musketeers under their command, never took this primitive firearm too seriously. Because of the lack of technology and gunpowder and other aspects, today's muskets are not satisfactory in terms of power, range and accuracy, and in most cases they are not even as good as ordinary bows and crossbows.
But Yang Zhen, who has the knowledge of later generations, obviously thinks differently from them, in his heart, muskets are always more convenient to use than bows and crossbows, especially after being prepared, ordinary soldiers can use them to kill the enemy.
However, due to the conditions, there were few muskets in Guilin City, so in order to realize his plan, Yang Zhen found Qin Ze and borrowed all the muskets brought by his army from him. With Yang Zhen's identity, it was naturally not difficult to borrow such a hundred muskets from Qin Ze, and he was planning to use these muskets to deal with the masters of the White Lotus Sect.
But because the previous attack was so smooth, this preparation seemed a little redundant. It wasn't until Xu Jinghong suddenly came out and threatened to challenge Yang Zhen that he had such an adventurous idea in his heart.
In fact, Yang Zhen also saw it early on, this Sect Master Xu was a little insincere when he said this, and even secretly killed him, obviously all this was aimed at himself. Of course, he could refuse to take risks, but in this way, with Xu Jinghong's ability, it was really possible to escape in the encirclement of officers and soldiers. In order to prevent such a situation, Yang Zhen had no choice but to agree to his request, but at the same time made arrangements.
He knew that his personal martial arts must not be Xu Jinghong's opponent, but it was not difficult to support him for some time and lead the other party to the musket. And the other party's attention must have been on him at that time, and he was bound to ignore this threat, so the possibility of success was greater.
It turned out that Yang Zhen's calculation was completely correct, Xu Jinghong, who was bent on eliminating this great trouble for the White Lotus Sect, did not guard against Yang Zhen at all and made other arrangements, but under the full pursuit of the killing, he let himself fall into a trap, and was shot by a burst of random guns, and fell to the ground like a blood gourd and died!
At this moment, everyone was stunned. No one could have imagined that this White Lotus Sect Master, who had extremely high martial arts and had given the imperial court a headache for decades, but had always had nothing to do with him, would die like this. Some people even feel like they're dreaming, because it's so unreal.
In fact, it was not only them, but Yang Zhen was also in a trance at the moment. Of course, it wasn't because he couldn't believe in his success, but because he was really frightened. If it weren't for the fact that he was quick enough to move and change his machine fast enough just now, I was afraid that before Xu Jinghong was shot, he would have already gone to meet the king of Hades.
Although Yang Zhen has experienced too many life and death moments in the two lives, except for the big explosion that made his soul cross, this time is the most thrilling, and he almost died!
Fortunately, Yang Zhen's temperament is very comparable after all, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately stabilized his mind again, and then he ordered: "Attack, kill the thief!" ”
This shout immediately woke up the soldiers. At this moment, their admiration for Yang Zhen had reached its peak, and without the slightest hesitation, they shouted, raised the sword and gun in their hands and covered up the White Lotus Sect not far in front of them.
Those White Lotus Sect disciples were still shocked by the death of their sect leader. In their minds, Xu Jinghong has always been a god-like existence, not to mention death or defeat, even if he is injured, it is unimaginable.
But today, right in front of them, Sect Leader Xu was shot indiscriminately and turned into a broken sack, which undoubtedly had an extremely huge impact on them, and even so big that the officers and soldiers rushed to the front, and they still couldn't react.
In fact, even if they can really react quickly, they will not be able to withstand the onslaught of the officers and soldiers. Because their hearts are completely chaotic at this moment, and with Xu Jinghong's death, they have no fighting spirit at all. Moreover, the attack just now had already wounded them one by one, and in order to escape from the village, they hardly took any weapons, but just stood here with their bare hands.
So this battle was already doomed from the beginning. Under the onslaught of the officers and soldiers, the White Lotus Sect could not make any resistance at all, and it collapsed. After the first few guys tried to resist and were cleanly killed, the others had to surrender on their knees. They couldn't even escape, for there were hundreds of musketeers and crossbowmen staring at them on the other side.
With only one impact, these White Lotus Sect members who might have brought a lot of trouble to the imperial court were all controlled, and they were all depressed and unable to possess their souls, and this extermination of the White Lotus Sect was a complete success.
There were only a few people who were not angry in their hearts, still staring at Yang Zhen who was slowly walking from the opposite side, and secretly cursed despicable in their hearts. The sect leader of his own family agreed to compete with him fairly, but he didn't expect this guy to secretly calculate and kill the sect leader with a musket, which is really cold.
Yang Zhen felt their eyes full of disdain, but he just pouted disdainfully. He can actually argue strongly, for example, it was Xu Jinghong who violated the rules first, obviously he had completed thirty moves, which was considered a victory, but he still had to continue to pursue, so he would let people shoot. However, he didn't mean to explain, he had no interest in explaining these losers at all, not to mention that in Yang Zhen's heart, he was not a person in the rivers and lakes, and capturing or killing Xu Jinghong alive was his goal, so he could use all means for this.
After glancing coldly at those guys a few times, Yang Zhen's gaze fell back to Baijia Village, where there was still thick smoke and flames rising: "Come on, quickly go in and put out the fire, and then search the entire village carefully for me, and don't let go of any corner." Especially underground, where their lair is. ”
Since this is where the main altar of the White Lotus Sect is located, Yang Zhen believes that there must be a lot of things that are of great value to the imperial court, such as the roster of the White Lotus Sect distributed all over the country, or some secret exchanges between them. Moreover, he didn't know if there were any White Lotus cultists who were still hiding in the middle of the day.
After hearing his order, the soldiers hurriedly agreed, leaving some of them to guard the bound captives, while the others entered the village and searched around the ruined Baijia Village, where they put out the fire and searched around the ruined Baijia Village.
Originally, if the officers and soldiers entered the village to search under normal circumstances, it would still be very difficult to find out their flaws in the village under the careful cover of the White Lotus Sect, and it would be necessary for Yang Zhen, who had a unique and sharp vision, to find out some problems and flaws.
But now it is different, it has been burned by the fire, many of the camouflage has disappeared, and some flaws are very conspicuous. What's even worse is that just now when they were busy escaping from underground, those White Lotus Sectists didn't close the entrances and exits of those secret passages at all, which made the officers and soldiers just search inside at random, and then found a passage into the underground, and then someone broke in with torches.
It wasn't until it was confirmed that there were no enemies below that someone came out to report and invited the two leaders, Yang Zhen and Shen Jie, in.
There have been many damages in this underground, and there are even sand and gravel falling from the top of your head as you walk. However, because the White Lotus Sect has really put a lot of effort into this, this internal space looks quite solid, and it has no intention of collapsing.
Yang Zhen walked in it, looking at all this, he didn't feel glad in his heart, if he hadn't used the previous method, it would have been really difficult to break through this place. Fortunately, most of the buildings in this era were wooden structures, otherwise the effect of fire attack would not be so obvious.
sighed in his heart, but Yang Zhen's feet did not stop, and he came directly to those rows of basements side by side. At this time, someone was full of excitement and turned out a lot of books full of dripping handwriting, and when they saw him, they hurriedly offered a treasure and said: "My lord, this is the contact list of the White Lotus Sect in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and this one also has the name of the hidden traitor in our Guilin City. As he spoke, he handed it over.
Yang Zhen took it casually, looked at it hastily, and nodded with a smile: "Very good, this time everyone has made a great contribution, and the court will definitely reward them afterwards." ”
"It's all thanks to the great command!" Everyone hurriedly said that this was not polite.
Yang Zhen wasn't very modest, just walked around these rooms casually to see if he could make any other discoveries. When he came to the door of the last secret room, for no reason, Yang Zhen suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, as if there was something terrible waiting for him inside.
This made him stunned, but then he laughed a little self-defeatingly, it's all at this time, is there anything else that can hurt him? With this in mind, he walked in.
This is a bucket room that is only two or three zhang square, except for some simple furniture, a Buddhist shrine placed in the corner is the most eye-catching. And when Yang Zhen swept his eyes to the Buddha shrine and saw the spirit card on it, his eyes shrank suddenly......
