There is a large horse farm on the outskirts of Fuyang County, where there are a total of three or four hundred high-quality horses.

The night was already very deep, but Ma Tianchang, the hall master of the Ugly Cow Hall, had not slept yet, walking back and forth in the bedroom, restless.

On the chair next to him sat two people in their fifties, these two people were Ma Tianchang's sworn brothers, one was named Wu Lian and the other was Wu Zhong.

Wu Lian took a sip of water and said to Ma Tianchang: "Big brother, you can sleep in peace, this is the deputy hall master Ouyang Zhengfa himself, and he will definitely succeed." ”

Ma Tianchang said with a sad face: "Since Ouyang Zhengfa left, I always felt my heart beating, as if something was going to happen. So let the two of you arrange for all the brethren in the main parish to-morrow, and no one is allowed to go out, and to be on full alert, just in case. ”

Wu Zhong said with a smile: "Big brother, you are really worrying, Fuyang County is the territory of our ugly cow hall, who dares to come here to make trouble." ”

Wu Lianyi waved his hand and said, "Wu Zhong, since the eldest brother said it, let's arrange it tomorrow, just in case." He turned his head to Ma Tianchang and said, "Big brother, it's getting late, you should rest early, tomorrow's things will be arranged by our brothers." ”

With that, get up and take your leave. But as soon as Wu Lian and Wu Zhong opened the door, they heard a big mess in the front yard, crying and calling for their mother.

After a while, a minion came to report in a panic, "Report! Report to the hall master, the big thing is not good, the people of the beggar gang and the people of the Kongtong faction have entered the main hall. ”

Before Wu Zhong could speak, Ma Tianchang rushed out of the house and asked loudly, "Let's be clear, who killed in?" ”

The minions said tremblingly: "It was Murong Lie and Kongtong Erxia of the Beggar Gang who led the men and horses into the main hall." ”

Ma Tian asked again in a hoarse voice, "How many people are they coming?" ”

"There were probably more than three hundred of them." The minion replied.

Ma Tianchang slapped his thigh, "Hey! I said something would happen, but it turned out to be something. ”

Wu Zhong and Wu Lian asked, "Big brother, what now?" ”

Ma Tianchang glared, "What else can I do?" Immediately gather all the men and horses and resist with all their might. ”

Wu Zhong said boldly: "Big brother, there are only about 100 people in the whole hall now, and there are more than 300 people from the other party." What's more, the leader on the opposite side is the mad mantis Murong Lie, who is a pure madman, not easy to mess with. ”

Ma Tianchang asked puzzledly: "Then what do you say?" ”

Wu Zhong stepped forward and whispered in Ma Tianchang's ear: "Big brother, as the so-called staying in the green mountains is not worrying about running out of firewood, so far, we can only preserve our strength, let's withdraw first." ”

Ma Tianchang said unwillingly and helplessly: "Hey, the world is the only way now. Then he asked Wu Zhong, "Then where can we go?" ”

Wu Zhong thought for a while and said: "Our Ugly Cow Hall is the closest to the Afternoon Horse Hall, and Zhou Wenhua, the master of the Afternoon Horse Hall, is your good friend, so let's go to the Afternoon Horse Hall to avoid it first, and then think of a way." ”

Ma Tianchang nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, that's all, tell the brothers, hurry up, break through together, and rush to the Wuma Hall." ”

As soon as the order to retreat came out, the killers of the Ugly Niu Hall immediately fled for their lives, they were not the opponents of Murong Lie and the others, this escape, the so-called defeat was like a mountain, and the scene was even more chaotic, some people went out with Ma Tianchang together, some people killed in groups of three or five, and some people saw that there was no hope of escaping, so they directly threw down their swords and guns and surrendered.

In just half an hour, the ugly cow hall died, escaped, and descended. The beggars completely occupied the Ugly Cow Hall.

Ma Tianchang led the people and horses to escape from the ugly cow hall, and once the people and horses were checked, there were only more than 40 people left. In this way, Ma Tianchang led the remnants of the defeated army to flee to Wumatang.

Murong Lie led the two heroes of Kongtong and the beggar disciples to successfully occupy the Ugly Cow Hall, and everyone celebrated. Murong Lie said: "Come on, immediately pass a book to the helmsman of the beggar gang and tell them the news of our victory." ”

At this moment, a beggar disciple in charge of intelligence came in and reported: "Elder Murong, Ma Tianchang has led more than forty killers to flee to the Wuma Hall. ”

When Kongtong Erxia heard this, he hurriedly called the disciple who was about to pass the message to the chief helm of the beggar gang, and then said to Murong Lie: "Brother, the war is about one drum, now Ma Tianchang has run the Wuma Hall, and the Wuma Hall is only more than a hundred miles away from here, and the hall master Zhou Wenhua is a rice bucket, and he became the hall master by relying on flattery. Why don't we chase after it and destroy the Afternoon Horse Hall. ”

When Murong Lie heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, the chief helm of the beggar gang just ordered us to attack the Ugly Cow Hall, and didn't let us attack the Wuma Hall." I think it's better to report the situation here to the chief helm first, and then make a plan for the next step. ”

Wu Lian said: "Brother, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, now the people of Wumatang are unprepared, we can catch them off guard, wait for us to report to the chief helmsman of the beggar gang, and then wait for the order of the chief helm, at that time Wumatang has already prepared an ambush." If we fight again, it won't be easy. ”

Wu Zhong also said: "Brother, just rely on your crazy mantis, and then destroy the Wuma Hall." At that time, we will have two great achievements, and they will be happy to report to the chief rudder. ”

Murong Lie was praised by the two of them, and he also hesitated in his heart, thinking: "There are indeed no masters in Wumatang, just rely on me, plus the help of the two heroes of Kongtong, it is indeed no problem to destroy them." It can also make senior sister Mu Wanniang happy. ”

Murong Lie couldn't stand the instigation of the two heroes of Kongtong, and decided to lead more than 300 brothers to kill the Wuma Hall.

However, they didn't notice that just opposite the door of the Ugly Cow Hall, two black shadows flashed.

Murong Lie led more than 300 beggar gang brothers and Kongtong sect disciples to quietly touch the outside of the Wuma Hall. It was quiet in the noon horse hall, and there was not the slightest movement, except that two sentry guards were napping at the door.

Kongtong Erxia quietly touched behind the sentinels and dealt with them without much effort.

With a wave of his hand, Murong Lie led more than 300 people to rush into the Wuma Hall, and they rushed to the courtyard of the Wuma Hall, which was quiet, and there was not even a single person who patrolled the night.

Murong Lie was an old Jianghu after all, so he sensed that something was wrong, so he quickly stopped and shouted: "Everyone be careful of the ambush, exit the courtyard first, I'm afraid the other party will cheat." ”

But as soon as the words fell, I heard a 'clang' behind me, and the door was closed. When everyone looked back, it was broken, and more than 300 archers appeared on the surrounding courtyard walls, stretching their bows and arrows, aiming at the people in the courtyard.

Murong Lie secretly blamed himself, he had been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and he had experienced a hundred battles, but he didn't expect to be old and old, and he would fall for such a big deal. I thought to myself: "If the other party fires arrows randomly, there will be heavy casualties on my side." So far, in order to reduce casualties, the only way to provoke the other party is to fight one-on-one with himself. ”

So he took the lead, 'Wow! Jump to the front of the line and shake your palms, "Phew! "Listen, and call your leaders out to talk.

The team of the Afternoon Horse Hall flashed to both sides, and two people walked out of the team, one was Zhou Wenhua, the hall master of the Afternoon Horse Hall, and the other was Ma Tianchang, the hall master of the Ugly Cow Hall.

Zhou Wenhua said with a wicked smile: "Is it the crazy beggar Murong Lie on the other side?" You are now sheep and cattle to be slaughtered, what else is there to say? ”

Murong Lie glared at him and reprimanded angrily: "You two are also hall masters, do you dare to fight with me alone." ”

Zhou Wenhua sneered, "Murong Lie, now as long as I give an order, I can shoot you into hedgehogs, why am I still fighting with you alone, do you think your Uncle Zhou is stupid?" Turning back, he commanded, "Come, the archers prepare." ”

More than 300 archers behind him'Whoa! Then he aimed his bow and arrows at the beggars, and when he waited for an order, he would fire ten thousand arrows.

At this moment, I heard someone at the back of the team shouting: "Slow! And slow down the arrow. Murong Lie, I will agree to fight with you alone. ”

The voice came from behind Zhou Wenhua and Ma Tianchang, and Murong Lie followed the voice to see clearly. I saw Zhou Wenhua and Ma Tianchang going left and right, and five people came out of the middle.

The first one had a full head of yellow hair, a wide mouth and cracked cheeks, a large nose and a bit of a rosacea nose, and a yellow beard on the lower jaw, and was about sixty years old, with a burly figure and shining eyes. At first glance, he is a great master. In the book, it is secretly explained that this person is Huoyun Palace, one of the eight firecloud god generals, the golden-headed god general Lu Dapeng.

On the left and right of Lu Dapeng stood a man and a woman, the man was a fat man in his thirties, and the woman was a woman in her fifties. These two people are none other than Feng Wanchun, the poisonous mother who escaped from the Caoyun Gang, and her son Wu Sheng.

There were two people standing behind Lu Dapeng, these two people looked extremely similar, with thief eyebrows and mouse eyes, just like two mice. They are the two hall masters who escaped from Zirat Hall, Liu Fang and Liu Zheng.

How did they come to the Afternoon Horse Hall?

It turned out that after the two brothers Liu Fang and Liu Zheng escaped from Zirat Hall, they were afraid that Cai Tingye, the palace master of Huoyun Palace, would blame them, so they didn't dare to return to Huoyun Palace, intending to make meritorious service to atone for their crimes. So he wandered around to find out the news of the beggar gang and Li Yi, Ye Feng and others.

They inquired about it, and recently the beggar gang joined forces with fellow martial artists to launch a continuous attack on the Huoyun Palace, and the Huoyun Palace lost five or six halls. Cai Tingye was furious and sent the eight Fire Cloud Gods of the Fire Cloud Palace out of the Secret Demon Island to support the remaining halls.

On this day, Liu Fang and Liu Zheng brothers secretly went outside the Ugly Cow Hall to inquire about the news, and found that the Ugly Cow Hall had been captured by the beggars, and Murong Lie and Kongtong Erxia were going to attack the Wuma Hall.

So, they hurriedly got up and rushed to the noon horse hall to report the news, so that they could prepare an ambush in advance. Before that, they went to the Shen Monkey Hall first, because they knew that the golden-headed god general Lu Dapeng was sitting in the Shen Monkey Hall at the moment.

They told Lu Dapeng the news first, and Lu Dapeng was overjoyed and immediately rushed to Wumatang to set up an ambush. also brought the poisonous hand mother Feng Wanchun and Wu Sheng. This Feng Wanchun was originally Lu Dapeng's concubine, and since the Caoyun Gang was destroyed, he has been following Lu Dapeng with his son.

The five of them came to the Wuma Hall and instructed Zhou Wenhua and Ma Tianchang to withdraw all the people and horses outside the Wuma Hall and lure the enemy to go deeper, so that they could close the door and beat the dogs.

As expected, Murong Lie and Kongtong Erxia were eager to seek merit and fell into a big trap, and this was the time when an unprecedented bloody battle was about to occur.
