The rescuers were moved by Zhang Zheng.

Yesterday, after Zhang Zheng, Cai Hu and several of the second brother's personal soldiers returned to the ancient locust tree, they waited left and right, and did not see the two princes come back. Then it got dark, and they built a bonfire and waited all night, but they didn't wait for anyone to come back. The next morning, a few people discussed that they could no longer wait so stupidly, and that they had to look around. They left two people to guard under the ancient locust tree, and the others split up to search.

Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu rode south to look for it. On the way, they encountered a group of enemy troops, quickly turned over and dismounted, and led the horses to hide in the jungle by the roadside. After the enemy troops passed, they continued on their way. Later, they came across another group of enemy troops. In less than an hour, they encountered three enemy forces. Zhang Zheng said to Cai Hu: "Why are these enemy troops going north? Is there any fighting in the north? Cai Hu said: "It's better to follow and take a look." ”

The two turned their horses and followed behind the enemy. When they arrived at Dongjiabao, Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu saw that the enemy army had three layers inside and three layers outside, and surrounded the castle. The two climbed a small hill and hid in the bushes. Zhang Zheng took out the telescope he was carrying, looked at it for a while, and finally saw Li Zhiyun and his second brother standing at the head of the city.

It turned out that the two princes were surrounded by enemies in the castle. Cai Hu took the binoculars and looked at them, and was sure: "It's them!" ”

There were only two of them, so naturally they couldn't rescue the two princes. Zhang Zheng asked Cai Hu to wait here and go back to move the rescuers. After he returned to the camp of the army, he could only mobilize the new army because the second brother strictly ordered the army to not come out when he left. After Scarface learned of the situation, he took his three thousand men and horses and hurried to Dongjiabao. They chose a piece of high ground and set up their red-coated cannons.

The enemy general heard the Malay report that 3,000 Tang troops had come, but he didn't pay much attention to it at first, but just ordered the troops in the castle to withdraw and deal with the reinforced Tang troops with all their might.

After the eight red-clothed cannons lined up, Scarface gave the order to fire. The cannonballs whizzed towards the enemy troops, exploding through the crowd and sending the flesh and blood of the enemy soldiers flying. The soldiers had never experienced such a scene before, and they were all stunned, scurrying around like headless flies, and the whole enemy camp was simply a pot of porridge.

After bombarding a stick of incense with a cannon, Scarface ordered the firearms battalion to attack. The soldiers lined up in a horizontal line and pushed forward. The enemy generals organized a charge of several hundred cavalry, and when the cavalry rushed a hundred paces away, the firearms battalion opened fire, and the soldiers threw grenades. Suddenly, the enemy's cavalry overturned on their backs and collapsed.

The enemy generals were unwilling to be defeated, and organized infantry charges. However, in the face of the intense fire, they fell in patches like wheat harvested by a sickle in the autumn. This is a one-sided battle, using firearms to fight cold weapons, this is not a war, it is simply a massacre. The enemy finally could not hold it anymore, and the horns were in disarray, and they retreated to the east in panic......

The people standing on the head of Dongjiabao City witnessed the battle. Except for Li Zhiyun, no one else has ever seen such an army, nor has they ever seen such a powerful weapon, this is really a hearty victory! Fan Shuxiang grabbed Li Zhiyun's arm, jumped and jumped with joy, and shouted, "King Chu, this is your army?" It's amazing! ......" Li Zhiyun humbly said: "It's nothing, I'm just trying it out." ”

The enemy army fled, and Li Zhiyun and the second brother should also go back. Fan Botong decided to lead his subordinates to follow them to the Tang army camp and participate in the battle to recover Hedong.

The Tang army and Song Jingang's army confronted each other for more than a month, and Li Zhiyun had nothing to do in the barracks, so he wanted to practice martial arts. If you add the time in Wugong County, he has been in danger twice, and in the face of a single enemy soldier, he has no power to fight back. After all, it is wartime, and this war does not yet know how long it will be fought, and danger may arise at any time. He wanted to use a pistol to defend himself, but now he didn't have the conditions to make an advanced pistol, the flintlock pistol was too bulky to carry, and the loading speed was too slow, in case he forgot to carry it or ran out of bullets, he couldn't expect someone to save him every time, right?

It is actually very convenient for him to practice martial arts, Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu are both equipped with stunts, Cai Hu is good at boxing, and Zhang Zheng is good at swords. Cai Hu played a set of ancestral "Cai Family Boxing", while Zhang Zheng was best at a set of "Yue Nu Swordsmanship". This set of swordsmanship was created by a woman in the Yue Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. This woman grew up in the forests of the south of Huiji Mountain, learned swordsmanship since she was a child, and was proficient in swordsmanship. King Gou of Yue swore an oath to avenge Wu, thinking that although he had the boat of water war and the public opinion of land war, he lacked the benefits of bows and crossbows. So, Fan Li, the doctor of the Yue Kingdom, recommended to Gou Jian that Yue Nu teach swordsmanship to the three officers and soldiers to help Gou Jian destroy Wu, and this set of Yue Nu swordsmanship is most suitable for battlefield fighting. Hearing that Li Zhiyun wanted to practice martial arts, both of them expressed their willingness to teach each other.

Li Zhiyun practiced martial arts, in addition to self-defense, but also for fitness. At this time, there was no modern medicine, and there were no antibiotics, and a cold might kill a young man, so he had to train his body well. In the past, he got up early to run and do exercises, but now he has changed to practicing martial arts. Early that morning, after practicing swordsmanship with Zhang Zheng, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Zhang Zheng, you call Cai Hu, let's go to Baibi City after breakfast." Staying in the barracks every day, he was quite bored, so he wanted to go out for a walk.

The city of Baibi was only two miles away from the camp of the new army, and the three of them came to the city. The weather is clear, and the streets are quite lively with people and cars. As he was walking, there were a few crunching whips and the shouts of the coachman behind him, and he hurriedly leaned over to the side of the road so that the carriage could pass.

The carriage drove past him, its wagon laden with goods and its wheels rolling heavily on the road. Due to years of war, the roads in the city have not been repaired, and the road surface is not smooth, with many large and small potholes. When one of the wheels of the carriage rolled over a large pit, the whole body jolted a little, and a stone-like thing fell from the carriage.

The carriage drove straight ahead. Li Zhiyun walked over and picked it up and took a look, it was a white translucent solid, the surface was slightly yellow, the size of a thumb's fingernail. He looked a little familiar with this thing, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while. He wanted to ask two of his attendants, but when he turned to see that they were already far behind, they were shopping at a street stall.

Li Zhiyun stood there waiting, and when they finished buying things and walked over, he handed them the things in his hand and said, "Look, what is this?" Zhang Zheng took a look at it and said, "Isn't this a flint." After he reminded him like this, Li Zhiyun remembered that this white solid was white phosphorus.

After Li Zhiyun traveled to ancient times, due to his noble status and being served by someone in his life, he rarely did daily chores, and occasionally when he needed to light a fire, he used a fire fold and never used flint, so he didn't recognize this thing as white phosphorus just now. The ancients called white phosphorus flint, and white phosphorus is mainly produced in the mountains and also in water. The ancients have known the use of white phosphorus for a long time, it is said that there is an oil lamp in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, which burns for thousands of years without extinguishing, and scientists have found that the wick of the oil lamp contains a large amount of white phosphorus.

Li Zhiyun took the white phosphorus, stared at it for a moment, suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Quick, go chase that carriage!" ”

He led two of his attendants in a hundred or so paces, but did not see the shadow of the carriage. The streets were full of people, and there were several forks in the road, and the carriage was long gone. Zhang Zheng saw that his brows were tightly knit, so he said: "This thing is very common, maybe it fell from someone's body." ”

Li Zhiyun shook his head and said, "If it fell from a person's body, it would be commonplace." However, I saw with my own eyes that it was the carriage that fell out of it when it was jolting. I reckon the cart was full of white phosphorus. ”

The three of them were looking around, and Li Zhiyun suddenly found Fan Shuxiang walking over with a smile. This girl wore a blue and white dress today, her hair was scattered behind her head, and the hair next to her ears was tied into two slender braids, dressed like a folk woman. She must have been unable to stay in the barracks and came to wander around the city. Fan Shuxiang walked up to them and saw them looking around, so he was curious: "What are you looking for?" ”

"A wagon, full of goods." Li Zhiyun said.

"A wagon with loads?" Fan Shuxiang said, turned around and stretched his neck, and looked around.

"It's only been a while, why is there no shadow?" Li Zhiyun said, taking a few steps forward. He found that Fan Shuxiang was following him, so he said, "Why are you following me?" ”

"I'll help you find the carriage."

Li Zhiyun stopped, shook his head and said, "With such a big Baibi City, where can I find a carriage?" Forget it, don't look for it. ”

"It's okay if you don't look for a carriage. You go shopping, I go shopping, let's go shopping together, okay? ”

Li Zhiyun looked at her, nodded and said, "Okay, if you are willing to follow us, just follow." A few people continued to walk forward, and after walking for a while, they suddenly saw a large group of people around the street, and I don't know who had set up a ring there, and there was a competition on the stage.

When Fan Shuxiang saw it, he happily pointed with his hand and said, "It's so lively over there, let's go over and have a look." She said and pulled Li Zhiyun under the ring. Li Zhiyun looked up and saw a few big words written above the ring, "Recruiting relatives through martial arts".

There was a man and a woman fighting on stage. The woman was dressed in a red suit, agile, exquisite punches, punches and kicks, aggressive, one move and one style, directly hitting the opponent's vital point, and she already had the upper hand. The man on the opposite side only had the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back.

After the two fought for a few more rounds, the man looked at the gap, jumped out of the circle and shouted to stop, and then hugged his fists and said: "Miss is extraordinary, bow down in the next place!" Then he turned around and jumped off the stage and walked away. The woman in red stood in the middle of the ring and said loudly, "Which other son is willing to come up and give it a try?" In a few moments, another man jumped on the stage. However, after only seven or eight rounds of fighting, the man clenched his fists and conceded defeat, stepped down and left.

The woman in red stood on the stage and shouted several times, but no one came to the stage for a while. Li Zhiyun had just practiced martial arts, so he was naturally not the woman's opponent, so he turned his head to Cai Hu and said, "You can go on stage and give it a try." You are not married, this woman is also handsome, if you win her, you can become her husband. Cai Hu listened, pouted and said: "I don't want to marry her, a woman, I can't stand this." ”

When Fan Shuxiang heard this, he was not happy, raised his leg and kicked him, glared and said, "What's wrong with fighting, killing, killing?" You men are allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy, and we women are not allowed to practice martial arts? Cai Hu saw that she was angry, and hurriedly laughed: "Rest the anger, stop the anger, I didn't mean you." Fan Shuxiang glanced at him fiercely, turned back to Li Zhiyun and said, "If you men don't go up, I'll go up!" She walked over to the ring and jumped up......
