Ma Xianglin ordered, and the white pole soldiers went down the mountain. But in the case of an enemy army at the bottom of the mountain, the army on the mountain does not say that it will go down the mountain, this is the same as attacking the mountain or crossing the river, people have already lined up the formation at the bottom of the mountain, and you can't just swagger down the mountain road in front of others, the enemy is not a fool, they will take advantage of your army to drag a line on the narrow mountain road, and rush to attack half of your troops who have gone down the mountain, then it will be lost.

Therefore, the white pole soldiers did not dare to go down the mountain in front of Zhu Jun, they prepared for a long time on the top of the mountain, and observed that Zhu Jun did retreat four or five miles away before starting to descend the mountain.

This will take a long time, Ma Xianglin's heart is quite anxious, worried that the Tujia village will be attacked by the Zhu army, and the village will be destroyed, on the one hand, he sent scouts to chase the tail of the Zhu army, and on the other hand, he set up a white pole soldier in one direction, and began to look for the road left by the Zhu army.

After chasing and walking for a while, Ma Xianglin's face changed a little, he knew this direction, there was indeed a Tujia village in this direction, there were about fifty or so families in the village, each family had about five or six people, and the total population was about two hundred and fifty people, which was a relatively large village for the poor Tujia family. There are really a few little Tujia girls in the village, this spring, when the main village of Shizhu Tujia was mourning, the little girls in this village also went to the main village to participate in the "big hand dance", and after the dance, they also offered flowers to Qin Liangyu. The eyes of those little girls were big, as if they could speak, Ma Xianglin cherished them a lot, and thought about finding a few heroic warriors to be husbands for them, so Ma Xianglin remembered it very clearly.

(Note: The hand-waving dance is a group dance that must be danced during the Tujia memorial service, and almost all Tujia people can dance it.) ）

He thought of Xu Renjie's lewd and disgusting smile, and couldn't help but worry about these little girls, if they fell into the hands of thieves, they didn't know how miserable the end would be...... I shudder to think about it.

This is also a significant difference between the ethnic minorities and the Han nationality, which have a relatively small population. In order to protect yourself and survive. Their centripetal force is relatively high, they are easy to hold together, and they are more caring for their clansmen. However, the Han nationality is very large and lives in a vast area. Without the pressure to survive. Not only does it not need to be huddled. On the contrary, there are often contradictions, so the cohesion of the Han nation will be a little worse, if it is a Han person like Zuo Liangyu. I heard that a small Han village was about to be burned by thieves, and he wouldn't care as much as Ma Xianglin, maybe he would join the ranks of burning the village. There are some things involved in this that involve people's hearts, so I won't go into detail at this time.

Ma Xianglin had 5,000 white pole soldiers under his command, they chased the traces of the Zhu army and rushed to catch up, I thought that with the ability of the white pole soldiers to cross the mountains and mountains, it was not difficult to catch up with a group of foreign soldiers from Shaanxi, but they did not expect that the speed of Zhu Jun's action was far faster than they imagined, and the white pole soldiers took out the strength to eat milk and chased with the fastest speed, although the distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, but it was always far behind, and they could not catch up.

Not far ahead is that village, Ma Xianglin is anxious, judging from the enemy's foot strength, Zhu Jun should have taken control of that village, but I don't know if the people in the village have time to escape.

After turning over a hurdle, Ma Xianglin suddenly saw that a large amount of black smoke rose from behind the hill in front of him, filling the entire mountain, and it seemed that something was being burned, and the place where the black smoke rose was the place where the Tujia village was located. Needless to say, it must be the thief army that is burning the village.

Ma Xianglin was really angry this time, he just wanted to put his wings on his back and fly over to fight with Xu Renjie.

"Run faster!" Ma Xianglin ordered loudly: "Catch up and kill all these bastards who burned my Tujia village." ”

In fact, there was no need for him to order, and the white pole soldiers were also angry, their eyes were red, and they ran fast.

After another period of rapid travel, the white pole soldiers came to the last small hill, as long as they climbed this hill, they could see the village with their eyes, and Ma Xianglin wanted to see if the village was safe, but he didn't dare to look at it, it was simply uncomfortable as close to affection.

At this moment, I heard a drum on the hill, and Zhu Jun's 3,000 black pole soldiers actually appeared on the hill, and then 2,000 Shaanxi soldiers appeared on the left, 2,000 Shaanxi soldiers also appeared on the right, 7,000 Zhu soldiers appeared here, and 1,000 Needless to say, they set fire to the village behind.

Xu Renjie appeared in front of the battle for a long time, shaking his fan with a smile: "Yo, General Ma, why are you chasing after you?" Isn't it to guard the Sky Ridge? Do you continue to keep watch on it, and what are you coming down for? ”

Ma Xianglin was furious: "Despicable and shameless stupid thief, I will take your head." ”

Xu Renjie flattened his mouth: "Some things are easy to say, but not so easy to do." Wait, I've caught a few little girls in that village, and I'll eat them before I come to fight with you......"

"Thief Ann Dare!" Ma Xianglin roared angrily, and didn't talk nonsense anymore, the silver-inlaid white pole gun in his hand pointed forward, and said loudly: "White pole soldier, give it to me, bring the head of this evil thief to me." ”

The white pole soldier suddenly poured forward, although Xu Renjie on the mountain said it easily, but in fact, he was also very afraid in his heart, after all, the other party was a famous white pole soldier in the world, he didn't want to make a hasty move, and his reputation was ruined, so he hurriedly ordered the herald next to him: "Block it...... Fight steadily, first find out the strength of the other party! ”

In the formation of the two armies, the drums of war sounded frequently.

Both the white and black polemen began to move forward, preparing to engage on the slightly sloping hillside......

This hillside, like all the slopes in the middle of the river, is full of jagged rocks, and many low plants grow in the cracks of the rocks, many of which have barbs and spikes on them, and occasionally a place where the soil layer is thicker, will grow a huge yellow cypress tree, which is evergreen in all seasons, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant, which is not conducive to the battle formation, but is conducive to climbing and sneaking attacks.

The white pole soldier climbed up the hill. As they set up, some of the archers climbed onto the yellow cypress trees and drew their bows and arrows, while the soldiers who were skilled in foot combat slowly advanced among the rocks and vines, keeping an eye on the surrounding terrain and preparing to use it for battle.

And the black pole soldier who pressed down from the top of the hill also observed the terrain while walking, and where it was slightly gentle, he could launch a charge. Where the terrain is too complicated. It is impossible to run quickly, and you must know which tree has hidden the enemy's archers, and which pile of grass has laid down the white-pole soldiers.

The slope of the mountain is not very steep in this hill. There is no point in falling rocks or something. What's more, Zhu Jun also came here on a hurried march. There was no time to prepare for falling rocks and timbers, and there was no time to build any fortifications, although they were condescending. But there are not many advantages that can be relied upon.

It can be said that the two armies are basically under the same operational conditions.

And the two Shaanxi soldiers on the side, also began to slowly approach the middle, they have ordinary spears in their hands, and they have received not as much training in mountain warfare as the black pole soldiers, they know that they are not the opponents of the white pole soldiers, so they are also willing to give up the role of the protagonist to the black pole soldiers, they are just playing a restraining role on the side, and they have no strength in the decisive battle.

The tip of Xu Renjie's nose was slightly sweaty.

A small leader next to him couldn't help but say: "Our army is surrounded on three sides, but there is no fear on the faces of the white pole soldiers, and the soldiers are not messy at all, it is really not simple." ”

Xu Renjie nodded and said, "Isn't this nonsense?" In the battle of the Hunhe River, the white pole soldiers did not panic in the face of the Manchu Tartar soldiers who were several times their own, why were they afraid of us? Cheer me up, this opponent is unprecedentedly formidable, perhaps the most formidable enemy our army has ever encountered since its founding. ”

At this time, the front lines of the two armies were already very close to each other, and they had already entered the range of archers, but because the irregular growth of yellow cypress trees in the east and west on the mountain affected the archers' shooting angles, few archers released their arrows. Even if an arrow is fired occasionally, it will usually stick to the trunk of a tree and fail to reach the enemy's body.

"Don't think about archery in this kind of terrain!" One of the squad leaders in the Zhu army opened his throat and shouted.

Just then, a small flag shouted from the white pole soldiers: "Don't shoot, there is a hammer to use, get close and stab with a gun." ”

The irregular formation finally approached, and the black pole soldier who walked in the front shouted, and the black pole gun in his hand stabbed out first, and the white pole soldier on the opposite side did not show weakness, and the white pole gun in his hand also stabbed back.

The hillside turned into chaos in an instant.

The difference between mountain warfare and peaceful warfare is really clear at a glance, if the battle is fought on flat ground, once the two armies fight, it must be the mutual pressure of the phalanx and the phalanx, but on this complex hillside, through the staggering of rocks and trees, as soon as the two armies fought, the military formations were staggered together, and a scene of one-on-one fighting by personal strength was formed everywhere.

A black pole soldier raised a gun to stab the white pole soldier, the white pole soldier flashed sideways, and returned a shot, but I didn't expect the black pole soldier to be extraordinary, and also flashed sideways, the two of them at the same time, quickly drew the gun back, and stabbed again...... Unexpectedly, when the gun was drawn backwards, the barbs on the spears of the two actually hooked together with a "snap".

This turned into a tug-of-war, and both soldiers blushed and dragged backwards with all their might, trying to drag their opponents to the ground, and then make up for them with a shot. But the strength of the two was average, and they dragged on for a long time without knowing the winner, and in the end, both of them dragged out their strength, and their bodies were weak at the same time, and they rolled down the hillside.

Another white pole soldier stabbed a black pole soldier with a spear, and the black pole soldier also flashed sideways, but he didn't expect the white pole soldier to be very good at marksmanship, once the tip of the gun in front of him pierced the air, the gun body swirled, from a straight stab to a sweep, and instantly swept the black pole soldier to the ground. He was about to stab the black pole soldier who fell to the ground, but he didn't expect that after the black pole soldier fell to the ground, he quickly grabbed a handful of weeds and threw it at the white pole soldier without covering his head and face.

The white pole soldier only felt a flower in front of him, and he didn't know what kind of hidden weapon was flying, so he quickly avoided it, but he didn't expect to be hooked by the black pole soldier under his feet, and fell to the ground, both of them rolled on the hillside, and they rolled a few feet away at once.

At the beginning of the battle, it seems extremely complicated, the weapons and fighting styles of the white pole soldiers and the black pole soldiers are almost the same style, they make full use of the terrain, with a variety of stones, grass, trees as their partners, and the enemy around, the style of play is varied, eclectic, and can always survive in desperate situations.

The total number of white pole soldiers was 5,000, which was originally 2,000 more than the black pole soldiers. It stands to reason that there should be a situation of fighting more and less, but the two Shaanxi soldiers who pressed up made the white pole soldiers have to divide more than 2,000 people to deal with it, and the result is that there are more black pole soldiers on the front than there are white pole soldiers.

Xu Renjie's heart was raised to his throat, he really hoped that he had personally trained these black pole soldiers to overwhelm the white pole soldiers, however, although the ideal was beautiful, it was not easy to achieve, the six-eared monkey was not the opponent of the Monkey King after all, and as soon as the battle lasted for a long time, the white pole soldiers began to show their advantages. After all, they are Sichuan people who were born and raised in Sichuan since childhood. In addition, the white pole soldiers are in the same line. The training in mountain warfare that began at an early age is an advantage that the black pole soldiers can't catch up with.

When he first started fighting, the black pole soldiers could still rely on momentum and condescending to take advantage, but after a long time. The "internal force" of the black rod soldier will not work. Of course, the "internal force" here does not refer to the internal strength in martial arts novels. It is like the 5,000-year-old Chinese nation and the United States, which is only 100 years old, holding a historical relics exhibition. The spirit of the king bursts out, and a few cultural relics can be shaken out at will, and the United States can be shocked to the ground.

Xu Renjie soon found that the black pole soldiers couldn't parry, although their morale was as high as ever, and the confidence brought to them by Zhu Bugs' victory in a hundred battles still supported them to fight, but their eyes were not as sharp as they were at the beginning, and their positions began to lose. The white pole soldiers obviously rushed closer to the top of the mountain more than ten zhang away, and the momentum of the white pole soldiers to advance did not stop at all, many black pole soldiers stepped forward to block, but they were soon swept aside by the white pole soldiers, and the Shaanxi soldiers on both sides fought desperately, but they could not restrain their pace of advance......

Rushing to the front of the white pole army formation is Ma Xianglin, who is known as the little horse Chao and the one-eyed horse. He wielded a silver-studded white pole gun, and the spear flowers were like pear blossoms, invincible, and no black pole soldier could make a move in his hand, so he easily put it down, or swept it aside.

Ma Xianglin's target is obviously Xu Renjie, he was really angry with Xu Renjie, this guy actually said in front of him that he wanted to arrest the little girl of the Tujia family and live happily, it is simply inferior to a beast, plus the other side of the hill is still rising black smoke, obviously the Tujia village is still ravaged in the Xiongxiong fire, if he doesn't kill Xu Renjie, he is angry in his heart.

Ma Xianglin rushed forward a few more steps, and seeing that Xu Renjie was not far ahead, he laughed angrily and said, "Thief, take your life!" ”

At this moment, a strong man suddenly jumped out of front of him, this person looked like an iron tower, holding an iron rod in his hand, it was really powerful, it was the second king of Baishui who came. He saw Ma Xianglin on the top of the hill Wu Yong, and his hands were already itchy, at this time Ma Xianglin led the army to rush closer, how could he not come to pick up?

The iron rod slammed forward, and when Ma Xianglin heard the sound of the iron rod cutting through the air, he knew that the original white pole gun had already met the past and was ready to parry, but at this time, it was forced to the side and did not fight hard. Because the white pole gun is not an iron barrel, but is cut from the branches of a white wax tree, to put it bluntly, it is still a wooden pole, and if this thing is hard to deal with the iron rod in the king's second-hand, it must be broken immediately.

The iron rod grazed the white pole gun, Ma Xianglin himself also turned slightly sideways, let go of the stick, "dang" a loud sound, the iron rod smashed on the solid stone on the ground, stone chips flew, a small gravel was stirred up to fly, wiped over Ma Xianglin's face, actually wiped his face painful.

Ma Xianglin was surprised for a while: "This person has a lot of brute strength, he is a tartar outside the gate, and it is rare to have such brute strength." ”

You must know that Wang Er is from Shaanxi, and the Shaanxi people are also the so-called "Qin people", the Qin people are much taller and more powerful than the people in the Central Plains and the south, and they are not far behind the people outside the Liaodong Pass, and Wang Er happens to be a monster who is also top-notch in the Qin people, fighting hard and brute force, there are really not many people in the world who can beat him.

Ma Xianglin was just a move, and he knew that Wang Er couldn't fight hard, but could only take it by skill. The white-pole gun in his hand waved, and a field of gunfire burst out in an instant, exploding pieces of snowflakes around Wang Er.

Wang Er saw that the opponent's gun was changing, and he couldn't help but shout: "It's a good time!" He also hurriedly used the stick method in the Shaanxi red fist routine to greet each other, the two of them got started, it was really extraordinary, within Fang Yuanzhang, it was full of guns and sticks, the wind was whistling, and others couldn't get close at all, and even Yingshanhong wanted to go up to help her husband, but she couldn't find a place to intervene.

Xu Renjie saw this scene, and suddenly secretly screamed in his heart.

If it was on flat ground, Wang Er and the enemy were in such an inextricable situation, he was not worried at all, but on this hillside, the terrain was complicated, and Wang Er and the generals of the white pole soldiers fought like this, the situation was a bit bad. Wang Er's level of mountain warfare is not very high, in case ...... What kind of rocks and vines do you step on under the soles of your feet?

As soon as he thought of this, the results came out.

After a long battle, Wang Er couldn't care about the soles of his feet, and sure enough, he stepped on a sharp stone, which was not easy to settle on, and as soon as he stepped on it, Wang Er's big feet were tilted to the side, and the center of gravity of his body suddenly shifted to the left.

How could Ma Xianglin waste such a good opportunity? The white-pole gun in his hand burst out with a torrential rain of pear blossoms, slamming into Wang Er's left body. Wang Er took a deep breath and wanted to flatten his body back to dodge, but under the unstable center of gravity, this flash slowed down by half a minute, only to hear a soft pop, and the white pole gun pierced Wang Er's left shoulder, fortunately, Wang Er hurriedly jumped forward and defused most of the attack, but this shot had injured him a lot, and blood gushed out...... (To be continued.) )
