Dozens of Tsing Yi guards rushed out after the two men in black. Xu Liang fell behind, carefully guarded, and the sharp flying knives on the street made Xu Liang shudder. Xu Liang was worried that if he chased too hard, the killer would let go of the flying knife and hurt himself, and it would be a big loss.

The two Tsing Yi Wei masters were the first to turn over from the window, and as soon as they went out, the two of them roared angrily, and then screams rang out. Seeing the two of them fall down softly, this sudden change made the faces of the other Tsing Yi Wei masters who followed them change greatly, and they hesitated for a while before jumping out with a vigilant expression. However, after such a delay, the figure of the assassin was no longer visible on the street.

After Xu Liang came out, he saw that the two Tsing Yi Wei masters who had jumped out of the window had many thin silver needles in their chests, densely packed, and the blood oozing from the tips of the silver needles was black, obviously, the silver needles were quenched with huge poison. The kung fu of the two Tsing Yi Wei masters was already dead of anger.

Xu Liang finally devised the trick of luring the snake out of the hole, but not only did not catch the killer, but lost two Tsing Yi Wei good hands.

At this moment, Xu Liang really felt a little bit like stealing chickens and not being able to counter the rice, Xu Liang was annoyed, and shouted in a deep voice: "Block the whole city, dig three feet into the ground to find out this killer!" ”

The Patrol Division once again cordoned off the whole city and went on a massive raid. However, three days passed, and the two killers were nowhere to be found.

For three days, Xu Liang stayed in the Chijin City Lord's Mansion and did not go anywhere. Luo Baiguan and Luo Rucai all gathered in Xu Liang's study, and Luo Rucai said helplessly: "My lord, it's been three days, and the killer is still nowhere to be found, do you want to continue to search?" ”

Xu Liang sighed and said: "This time the killer's martial arts are extremely high, and almost no one can stop the flying knife. It's just that three days have passed, and the killer must have fled the city a long time ago. Let's stop the search. ”

Luo Rucai responded, this killer who suddenly appeared, although it did not cause great harm for the time being, but the killer hid in the shadows, he could kill again at any time, this hidden danger was not eliminated, and everyone felt a little constrained.

Xu Liang has been pondering the origin of the killer, who is so desperate to kill me?

"In the teahouse that day, although the killers fled quickly, I have confirmed that the two killers are from the Central Plains." Xu Liang groaned, a little annoyed, "We are fighting against Turpan now, although Sutan in Turpan has a motive to kill me, but Sutan should not be able to find such a killer for a while." And it's also a person from the Central Plains! Therefore, the person who shot at me should be from within the Ming Dynasty. ”

Luo Rucai and Luo Baiguan both nodded in agreement. Xu Liang immediately instructed: "Let Tsing Yiwei go and check, who are the masters of flying knives on the rivers and lakes!" Then send letters to Beijing and Chang'an, and ask what changes have been made in the court recently. Also, has the origin of the silver needle that shot the two Tsing Yi guards clear? ”

Luo Baiguan shook his head: "The silver needle has been sent back to Shaanxi, and it should take some time to find out the origin." ”

Xu Liang listened, although he was in a hurry, he also knew that it would take time to verify these things, and he couldn't be in a hurry.

The killer's matter was put aside for the time being, but fortunately, the war in Shazhou finally made new progress. Cao Bianjiao led the cavalry to sabotage the grain and grass supply of the Turpan army, and after more than ten days, he really did not let a grain flow into Shazhou City. Now, although the combined forces of Tulupan and Tumut are still guarding Shazhou City, according to the information transmitted by the secret agents, Shazhou City has run out of food.

After more than ten days, Turpan Sutan finally couldn't hold it back, and sent Yeha to take thousands of people out of the city and go straight to the royal city of Turpan.

Seeing the opportunity, He Huchen immediately waved all his troops and stormed Shazhou City. The battle lasted from early morning to dusk, and as it was getting late, both sides withdrew their forces for the time being.

Late at night, Xu Liang and Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, rushed to the camp of the Ming army, and several generals learned that the governor had arrived in person, and they all gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Xu Liang glanced at the generals and asked in a deep voice, "What is the situation of the war now?" ”

He Huchen was the main general of the attack on Shazhou City, and he arched his hand to Xu Liang and King Qin, "In the daytime battle, the last general sent people to launch five charges, coupled with the cooperation of the flying eagle cannon, although the city gate was not captured, it can be seen that the morale of the Turpan army in the city is not as good as before. Attack again tomorrow, and you will definitely be able to take Shazhou City in one fell swoop. ”

He Renlong's loud voice sounded: "My lord, tomorrow, the last general will personally lead the troops to attack the city, and he will definitely take Shazhou City." ”

Xu Liang nodded and said, "Okay!" Our army has been delayed in Shazhou for nearly a month, and tomorrow, all the generals will work together to take Shazhou City in one fell swoop. ”

The next day, the Ming army lined up again, preparing to attack the city.

Suddenly, the gate of Shazhou City in the distance was wide open, and the defenders in the city actually lined up to go out of the city, close to the city wall, and put on an offensive formation, which made Xu Liang stunned.

He Huchen looked at it and explained to Xu Liang: "My lord, it's the Tumut Ministry. Su Tan is not stupid, he knows that most of the Tumut army is cavalry, and there is no place to defend the city, so he drove out to prepare to attack instead of defend. ”

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, frowned, and said worriedly: "This is trouble, our cavalry has been taken away by Cao Bianjiao, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses here are all infantry, but they can't withstand the impact of Tumut's cavalry." ”

Xu Liang glanced at King Qin and said, "The prince is too worried, our army has its own way to restrain Tumut's cavalry." Just look at it for a while. After that, Xu Liang nodded at He Huchen and said, "General He, let's start." ”

When He Huchen heard this, he shouted in a deep voice: "Order! Drumming, Attack!! ”

The dull drum beat sounded, and the Ming army, which had already received the order, shouted and began to approach Shazhou City. Qin King Zhu Cunshu's eyes widened, and he finally saw some doorways coming out.

Unlike the encounter, the Ming army was determined to capture Shazhou City this time, and the Ming army's attack was also in accordance with the method that had been planned for a long time, and it was approaching unhurriedly.

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, saw that among the slowly approaching infantry, every few meters, there were soldiers pushing a small cart with boxy boxes on it, and at a glance, there were at least hundreds of boxes intricately interspersed among the infantry in the attacking team of 5,000 people.

King Qin suddenly asked He Huchen, "General He, this is the general's way to deal with the Tumut cavalry, right?" ”

He Huchen smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, this method was still thought up by the governor." Once the enemy's cavalry charges, they can stop the carts, and several adjacent carts are connected in a row to block the enemy's attack, and the soldiers can use the blocking of these carts to kill and wound the enemy. And, even better, these carts, as long as they are within range of the enemy's bow and arrow, can be used as a makeshift shield against the enemy's bow and arrow! ”

He Huchen explained with a smile on his face, and the attacking Ming army was indeed as He Huchen said, still advancing unhurriedly to the city.

The Ming army was so unhurried and unhurried, and on the upper floor of Shazhou City, Sutan and the leader of Tulupan frowned. Su Tan's face was gloomy, and Chao Yeha said: "The Ming army is very cunning!" Make this weird thing! Can't let them get any closer, let the cavalry of Tumut kill them! ”

Yeha also knows the benefits and disadvantages of this kind of cart of the Ming army, and in yesterday's battle, it was this inconspicuous cart and box that made the defenders of the city suffer a big loss. Yesterday, after the Ming army advanced this strange cart to the range of bows and arrows on the city tower, the infantry of the Ming army set up a cloud ladder to attack the city, and the archers of the Ming army hid behind this kind of cart and shot arrows at the city tower to cover the siege of the Ming army. This strange car, after standing up, is exactly the height of a person's shoulder, and it is about to cover the Ming army, and it does not hinder the Ming army from archery, which is really disgusting.

The whining horn sounded, and the Tumut cavalry, who had received the order, roared towards the Ming army.

As soon as he saw the Tumut cavalry charge, the general who led the Ming army shouted: "Shield! ”

The Ming soldiers who were pushing the cart quickly approached, and with a bang, the cart stood upright and blocked in front, and the pikemen and archers stood behind the cart and watched silently at the roaring Tumert cavalry.

Tumut's cavalry collided with the Ming army fiercely and fought fiercely.

Xu Liang in the distance couldn't help but stand up, although Xu Liang, the infantry combination of this kind of small car, had seen countless times in the military drills of the Liang army, but it was the first time that Xu Liang had seen it on the battlefield with real swords and guns. For the role that the car can play, Xu Liang urgently needs to verify.

Qin King Zhu Cunshu also watched nervously. Things are really as He Huchen introduced, after Tumert's cavalry hit the Ming army's cart, due to the disorderly placement of the cart, the Tumut cavalry's sprint advantage was greatly weakened, and the Tumert cavalry could only ride on a tall horse, fighting with the Ming soldiers hiding behind the cart, and always be on guard against the cold arrows that would be shot from time to time.

This style of play is too much of a loss.

The Tumut cavalry fell into the infantry formation of the Ming army, and in the rear, the 10,000 infantry led by He Renlong had already rushed over.

The distance between the Ming army's camp and the place of the battle was only two hundred meters, and the Ming army was advancing at the speed of the charge, and in a blink of an eye, He Renlong's army arrived.

Seeing that the Ming army had increased its troops, the Tumut general shouted, turned his horse's head, withdrew from the battle, and led the cavalry around the flank of the Ming army, fleeing from the battlefield far away.

Xu Liang was shocked, "This Tumut soldier also has some methods, and he actually knows how to withdraw." "Tumut is cavalry, if they don't want to be entangled, if they get out of the battlefield, there is really no way for the Ming army, which is all infantry.

After the Tumut cavalry bypassed, they did not go far, but gathered on a small slope in the distance, looking at the Ming army camp with fierce eyes, as if they were preparing to kill the horse pistol.

The Ming army ignored the Tumut cavalry, and the infantry advanced to the city of Shazhou and began to attack the city. For a time, the sound of killing under the city of Shazhou shook the sky, and arrows flew sideways.

Xu Liang looked at the Tumut cavalry assembled in the distance and reminded He Huchen: "The Tumut cavalry is going to kill the horse pistol!" ”

He Huchen said: "It's okay. After that, He Huchen ordered the flag in his hand, and there was a shout among the Ming army, Wan Wenshan led five thousand Liang troops to start rushing towards the city, and the same equipment as the previous one, Wan Wenshan also carried a small cart box, but the number was much less than the first one.

The infantry of Wanwen Mountain followed He Renlong's men and horses, but they did not rush to join the siege army, but instead erected the cart and faced the direction of the Tumut cavalry. Obviously, it was to protect the flanks of the siege team.

On a small slope in the distance, the Tumut cavalry began to start again, charging towards the siege party below the city.

Xu Liang scolded: "This Tumut cavalry is really annoying!" ”

He Huchen snorted lightly, and waved the order flag a few times, and in the Ming army camp, in the heavily defended artillery battalion, thirty flying eagle cannons adjusted their direction in unison, aiming at the direction where the Tumut cavalry was rushing.

The sound of heavy horses' hooves shook the whole ground, and although the Tumut cavalry only had a few thousand horses, they actually had the momentum of thousands of horses when they ran.

The Tumut cavalry was approaching the Ming army besieging the city, and the Liang army's flying eagle cannon rang out at the right time.

Thirty flying eagle cannons opened fire at once, and immediately exploded in the running Tumut cavalry, and countless cavalry were injured and fell, trampled into a large cake by the cavalry behind. According to preliminary estimates, this round of artillery killed and wounded at least three or four hundred Tumut cavalry.

However, the speed of Tumut's cavalry was too fast, and the Eagle Cannon only had time to fire one round of artillery, and Tumert's cavalry once again collided with the Ming army.

However, this time, the Tumert cavalry also seemed to know the benefits of the Ming army's cart box, and the Tumert cavalry did not attack the Allied army's cart box camp, but rubbed the edge and lightly touched, and then rushed out diagonally, this time, it fell to the other end, and actually began to assemble again.

The speed of the cavalry made He Huchen, who had always been calm, change color. Xu Liang sighed: "It would be nice if Cao Bianjiao could bring the cavalry of the Liang army over." ”

"yes." He Huchen answered, and immediately, He Huchen looked ahead in surprise, his eyes glared at the boss, and he looked extremely nervous.

Xu Liang and Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, soon discovered the anomaly as well. The siege of the city in front of them was still going on, but seven or eight Liang soldiers carried one person and rushed towards Xu Liang's side in panic.

Xu Liangcun had a bad premonition from time to time, and stared nervously at the approaching people.

After a while, the soldiers of the Liang army ran to Xu Liang and reported in a panic: "My lord, it's not good, General He is seriously injured!" ”

Xu Liang and He Huchen, Qin King Zhu Cunshu turned over and dismounted, and after seeing the Liang soldiers put down, several people looked at He Renlong, and couldn't help but be shocked.

He Renlong was lying on the ground, his entire chest was stained red with blood, and a small flying knife in his chest went straight to the hilt, fiercely penetrating the armor on He Renlong's body and piercing into He Renlong's chest.

He Renlong's face turned pale, and when he opened his eyes and saw Xu Liang, he shouted unwillingly, "Beware of hidden weapons!" And he fainted. (To be continued.) )
