When the father-in-law saw such a scene, it was as if Zhizhu was in his hand, but his face was a little whiter at this moment, and he glanced at Xia Jiang with some trembling teeth, and said, "Xia Jiang, you say, what's wrong with this? Why can these people attack with poisonous snakes!"

Xia Jiang said helplessly: "This is the snake formation of the beggar gang! When I was at the border pass, I used to fight side by side with the beggar gang, and they used such a strange and ugly flute sound to attract many poisonous snakes and cooperate with our soldiers to attack together!"

"Beggar Gang?" the father-in-law was surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't this beggar gang supposed to be loyal to our Ming Dynasty? Now that we are ordered to act outside, but on behalf of the imperial court, how can this beggar gang attack us for no reason?"

"I'm also strange!" Xia Jiang said with a crying smile, "I have communicated with an elder of the Beggar Gang, and I know that the strength of the Beggar Gang is mostly concentrated in the border passes, and they fight the enemy together with the border army! Although there are also disciples and rudders in the mainland, they are mostly used to listen to news and the like, and they rarely set foot in the rivers and lakes, so why are they attacking us now!"

"No matter what! Since these Huazi dare to attack the officials of the imperial court, when the duke returns, he will implore Duke Zhang to dismiss the beggar gang! Brothers, snakes are afraid of firearms, brothers of the firearms team, give me a hard beating!" After hearing the reason, the father-in-law couldn't help but be angry, and immediately ordered loudly.

These red-robed men obeyed the order, and immediately some of them took out an iron rod about a foot long from their arms, and then poured some black powder into the iron rod, and then picked it up and waved it at the snakes and the black-clothed people.

A loud bang erupted from the iron rod.

The black smoke spread from the mouth of the iron stick, and then I saw that the man in black who was close was instantly beaten and his whole body was bleeding, and before he could scream, he fell headlong.

As for those poisonous snakes, as the father-in-law said, after such an earth-shattering noise, they were all scurrying like headless flies, and this snake array was broken for a while.

But after a while, the flute sounded again, and the viper slowly regained its composure and attacked the red-robed man.

But because of the thunder of their own side, the red-robed people calmed down a lot, and they were no longer afraid, but launched a counterattack in an orderly manner, with countless casualties on both sides.

Zilong, who was hiding in the shadows over there, finally confirmed that most of the red-robed people were Zhengde's guards after the thunder sounded!

And the one who was robbed by the bandits should also be his brother who he has never met, Emperor Zhengde!

At this time, Zilong used his profound internal strength to hear one of the men in black, tall and thin, wearing brocade clothes say loudly: "Yang Zuo, now that my sect has just recovered a little vitality, if it is such a meaningless attrition, I am afraid that my sect will be silent for a long time!"

"That's right! Yang Zuo Envoy!" The other person, tall and fat, and his head is also a person with a bright light, he also echoed, "Now this is my brother from Peach Blossom Mountain, if it should be folded here, our family will not agree!"

"Hey, why haven't the Iron Hand Ghosts and the others from Longkou Mountain arrived yet? They have some thunderbolts in their hands, which are relics of the Thunderbolt Hall that I taught back then, and in terms of the ability to attack fortifications, this thunderbolt arrow is really no longer under firearms!"

A burly man in a green robe couldn't help but sigh.

It's just that it's quite strange here, the bandits of Longkou Mountain looted in the col next to the official road not far away less than two hours ago, but these people didn't meet this bandit, but they were still waiting for these bandits to come to help, which is really strange.

The person who spoke first listened to the words of the green-robed man, and couldn't help but reproach and said: "Yang Zuo, since the split and the fall of our sect, we have long been in our own way! That Xiao Ming of Longkou Mountain is just a descendant of the Perak Hall back then! He is now robbing his house and house, and he is no different from bandits, so it is better to rely on ourselves than to count on this Xiao Ming to help!"

It turned out that this green-robed man was the Yang Zuo envoy in these mouths.

As soon as this person finished speaking, the people nearby all nodded in unison, and only one masked man who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but who had patched up in a few unimportant positions, said loudly: "Yang Zuo Envoy, Song Leader is right, now this team of guards, I can already confirm that they are Zhengde's guards, and Zhengde is very likely to be inside! As long as this little emperor is killed, and then Yang Zuo Envoy ascends to the heights and shouts, and then there is a prince echoing outside the pass, great things will be done!"

As soon as he said this, the people around Yang Zuo were all bright-eyed, and they were all excited to ask for battle.

Yang Zuo glanced at the battle circle not far away, and then glanced at the person who had just spoken meaningfully, and said softly: "Okay! Since Elder Wu's information is true, Yang can also get out! It's just that Yang is stupid and doesn't know how to proceed in the current situation? That team of guards has strong bows and crossbows in the distance, the power of firearms, and the masters of the battle formation in the near future, they are really like a hedgehog!" In order to attack these guards, my sect has already injured a hundred people, and without an inch, Elder Wu even used the snake array to help, but it still doesn't help, for the sake of today's plan, what can I do?"

"Don't dare to be!" the man named Elder Wu arched his hand in gratitude, and said, "I have watched the formation for a long time, although these guards are well-coordinated, skilled in battle, and extraordinarily equipped, but they have a fatal weakness!"

"Elder Wu, please speak!" Yang Zuo waved his green robe and made a gesture of please, and the people around him were also calm, not daring to make a sound, and concentrated to listen to Elder Wu's plan.

"This weakness is that among these guards, there is no master like you and me!" Elder Wu smiled proudly, pointed at Yang Zuo and the people around him, and finally pointed at himself, and said, "Among these guards, I have observed for a long time, and there is no one who can be called a master! As long as we put on black clothes, blend in with the brothers, rush closer, and work together, we will definitely be able to tear a hole!" This battle formation will naturally be broken, and when the time comes, the brothers will rush forward, and with a numerical advantage of several times, these Ming army guards can only be lambs to be slaughtered!"

"That's good!" The leader surnamed Song, who claimed to be Peach Blossom Mountain, was also bald, grinning and laughing, "Elder Wu's eyes are really vicious, as long as we can rush close! With Yang Zuo's envoy and Elder Wu's martial arts, I'm afraid that most of these ordinary guards can't be stopped! When the time comes, it will not be difficult for the brothers to hold the gap, and this hedgehog-like battle formation will be broken like this!"

"What Elder Wu said is good......

"What Leader Song said is extremely ......"

After this Elder Wu and Leader Song said each other, the seven or eight people around here all echoed in their voices, Yang Zuo contemplated for a moment, clenched his fists, slapped his palm fiercely, nodded and said: "Since all the brothers agree, then this is it! Xiao Qi, you stay, be responsible for dispatching the brothers, and the other brothers, with me and Elder Wu, blend in with the brothers, kill together, do not break the enemy formation, and swear not to return!"

"If you don't break the enemy's formation, you won't return!" As soon as these words were said, these bandits all shouted slogans together, which was amazing.

After the arrangements were made, these bandits, including Yang Zuo's envoy, Elder Wu, and Song Chief, also changed into ordinary black clothes, slowly blended into the people in black, and were ready to kill them together at any time.

Zilong, who was in the distance on the side, also heard this slogan with good momentum, and it is estimated that these black-clothed people will not be able to attack for a long time, so they have prepared the last means of assault!

And the location where that slogan came from is most likely the enemy's command post!

As soon as Zilong's heart moved, he prepared to lurk over to see who the divine was, ambushing the emperor's guards at such a close distance from the capital.

Although there were already more than 100 people in black lying down at this time, after the blood flowed out, the snow was all drenched and turned red.

However, the man above the man in black gave an order, and these men in black had to continue to carry swords and rough wooden shields, and rushed up to kill.

After a fierce battle, the arrows and gunpowder brought by the guards on Xia Jiang's side were actually almost used!

Although the guards were also damaged, there were only a few dozen of them, and the men in black were killed and wounded more than a hundred, but the men in black were numerous, and they attacked in turn, so that the surviving guards were already mentally exhausted.

In addition, the arrows and gunpowder have been almost used, and these guards are even more apprehensive.

Xia Jiang watched the man in black launch another round of offensive, and after immediately arranging the defense, he came to the father-in-law's side and said, "Father-in-law, the situation is critical now, if we don't send out the arrows again and ask for help from the nearby military offices, I'm afraid that we will all die here today!"

"Hey, Mr. Xia Qian, do you think our family doesn't know?" The father-in-law sighed lightly and said a little helplessly, "But now that Your Majesty has left the palace, it is still a secret, except for us people, we must not leak it out in vain!

"But now that these men in black are attacking us like this, doesn't my father-in-law think it's strange?" Xia Jiang couldn't help but ask a little impatiently when he saw that his father-in-law still refused to ask for help.

"It's quite strange!" the father-in-law nodded and said, "We people, the discerning people know at a glance that they are from the capital on an errand! How dare ordinary mountain bandits attack us like this?"

"That's the case, hasn't my father-in-law understood yet?" Xia Jiang immediately asked when he heard this.

"You mean...... "Since this father-in-law came out of the palace, he naturally understands a lot, the reason why he didn't expect it before was just because the matter was urgent, and he was concerned about the safety of Zhengde, but he didn't expect it for a while, but after such a delicate and clear Xia Jiang's reminder, he suddenly understood, and faintly had a guess!
