Chapter 786: The Battle of the Pavilion (Medium) (1st Update)
Gu Qingcheng has four disciples under him, and there are four ghosts in Qingcheng City, all of whom are masters of the Innate Perfection Realm.
Jin Shengheng saw that the five of their masters and apprentices could take charge on their own, and it seemed that it had to be the strength of the Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong, this murderous madman was able to invite the Qingcheng faction to work for them, and his face was really not small.
To deal with Dusk Jun Chongzhen, they need martial arts masters too much.
However, ordinary martial arts masters are all rice buckets, but the real masters are pretentious and famous, and ordinary people don't move at all.
To be able to let Qingcheng faction, Jin Shengheng is of course happy.
Now in the territory of the Great Western Kingdom, that is, in the area of Sichuan, the famous martial arts sect is of course the first to recommend the Emei faction, followed by the Qingcheng faction.
These two factions have a lot of adults, a long history, and the martial arts masters are endless, not to mention, only in the Ming Dynasty, more than 200 years, these two factions have appeared 5 top martial arts masters, and they can even be comparable to Shaolin Wudang.
Especially since the decline of the Wuyue Sword School, the Emei School and the Qingcheng School have risen and are famous in the rivers and lakes, not inferior to Shaolin and Wudang.
Now these two factions have been bought by Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Daxi, and it seems that the strength of Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Daxi, has far surpassed that of Li Zicheng, the king of Dashun.
However, Jin Shengheng was even happier that Sun Kewang introduced him to another person, who had no sect and no faction, lived in the Flying Snake Valley of Qinglong Mountain, Sichuan, and claimed to be the valley master of the Flying Snake Valley.
He was about fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair coiled high, a golden snake sword in his arms, and a clear face with a somewhat gloomy gaze.
This person's name is Jiang Tianda, and it is said that this is a master of the Gang Qi Realm.
Sun Kewang took these 6 people with him wherever he went, but he generally didn't let these 6 people show up.
Because he has followed Zhang Xianzhong for more than ten years as a thief, he also realized the decisive role of martial arts masters.
Especially since Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, the role of martial arts people in the rivers and lakes in the battlefield of the two armies is decisive.
To deal with these court minions under the faint monarch Chongzhen, whether it is thousands of officials and soldiers or royal martial arts people, you have to rely on martial arts masters.
The Great Western Army now has four kings, also known as the four generals under Zhang Xianzhong, namely Pingdong General Sun Kewang, Dingxi General Li Dingguo, Funan General Liu Wenxiu, and Dingbei General Ai Nengqi.
These are Zhang Xianzhong's 4 godsons, and they have the ability to race one by one, and any of them can be in charge of Lao Zhang.
These four kings are all people who can conquer and fight, and the soldiers and horses under their command are particularly capable of fighting, because they have martial arts masters in the army.
Among the four kings, Sun Kewang has many martial arts masters on the Internet in private, and of course his strength is great.
He doesn't keep idlers under him.
This is also the reason why he has been through a hundred battles and is invincible.
After Zhang Xianzhong established the Great Western Kingdom, he issued a strict edict to these four godsons and the thousands of soldiers under him, prohibiting the recruitment of troops and horses without permission.
What I'm afraid of is that these people are expanding their strength privately, and Zhang Xianzhong can't control them.
But Zhang Xianzhong did not prevent them from supporting their families, Sun Kewang is a scheming person, he knows that with Zhang Xianzhong alive, the Great Western Kingdom is thriving, like an iron plate.
Once Zhang Xianzhong is gone, then the first four kings will have to turn their faces.
The biological son still has to compete for the prince, kill you to the death, and the organs are exhausted, not to mention that Zhang Xianzhong's 4 godsons are not related?
Therefore, Sun Kewang's family members include the pro-soldier guards, all of whom are martial arts masters. Some Zhang Xianzhong knew, and some even Zhang Xianzhong didn't know the inside story, only knew that he adopted this eldest son, which gave him a long face.
Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong favored Sun Kewang and relied on him very much, and at the same time he was crowned the king of Pingdong and the general of Pingdong, this time he took advantage of Li Zicheng's defeat and let Sun Kewang send troops and take Baoning Mansion.
Baoning Mansion, later known as Langzhong City, is in the northeast of Chongqing, relatively close to Yichang, and now it can be said that northern and eastern Sichuan are basically Sun Kewang's sphere of influence.
After Jin Shengheng learned the inside story of Sun Kewang and these martial arts masters, he was even more confident, and felt that this time he was expected to deal with Chongzhen.
At this time, there was no report at night, the Ming army was divided into two armies to attack Yiling and Yuan'an, and the holy car of Dujun Chongzhen had arrived at Zhijiang, and Zhijiang was only a hundred miles away from Yiling.
Sun Kewang sat in Yiling and personally commanded and ordered Xianting and Yuan'an to send troops to meet the enemy......
Chongzhen took Wang Chengen and 5 Jinyi Guard masters who escorted him, plus the leader of the Beggar Gang, the White Lotus Sect and the Heaven and Earth Sect, as well as the head of the Wuyue Sword Sect, etc., a total of more than 20 fast horses came out of the Zhijiang River and came to the battlefield of Yiting at a gallop......
Liu Zhaoji led 100,000 horses, including 20,000 troops of the water division, to storm the pavilion.
The red-coated cannon hit the earth with earth-shattering gunsmoke.
Under the command of Zheng Guangyuan, the commander of the Ming Army, and the second general Han Hu, braved the artillery fire and rain-like arrows, went upstream, and soon rushed into the sailor camp of the Great Western Army, and the two sides launched a close-range white-knuckle fight on the warship.
It is also Liu Zhao's sailors who are well-trained, and there are no weak soldiers under strong generals.
The naval division of the Great Western Army was vulnerable, and the 10,000 Great Western Army was beaten by the 20,000 Ming Army, and the Great Western Army was crushed at the first touch.
The sailors of the Ming army pursued the victory and approached Yiling.
The fighting on the shore was also extremely fierce, and the area around Yaoting was mountainous, most of which were low mountains and hilly landforms.
On one of the few plain lands, the two armies set up the battlefield.
50,000 Western troops against 80,000 Ming troops.
More than 100,000 troops, like a mountain of soldiers, boundless, about 200 meters between the two armies.
At this time, Liu Zhaoji, who was covered in armor and carrying a big knife, sat on the horse and commanded in person, Liu Zhaoji's long knife pointed obliquely at the void and roared, "Kill!"
The cavalry of the Ming army was in front, the foot soldiers were behind, and the 80,000 troops were like the tigers of the gods, and they pressed the Great Western Army with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas.
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
