Anji's estimate is really right, the reason why Guo Yong dared to fight against the officers and soldiers was because there were several fierce generals in his righteous army, among whom was a young man named Lin Mi, about twenty years old, with a sturdy figure, and the first feeling he gave people was that he was strong, tall, and powerful. And he made a bronze stick, eight feet long, and the thickness of a wine glass, and it was heavy in his hand, and it weighed one hundred and ten pounds, and danced and whirred.

At that time, Lin Mi did not wear an iron mask, he was also from Sichuan, but among the Sichuan people, he was very tall, with long thick eyebrows and big eyes, very handsome, and the other two were his cousin Chen Zhong, who had a purple face, a long beard, a pair of bright eyes, and the weapon in his hand was a Fangtian painting halberd, which also weighed fifty or sixty pounds, and there was a name "purple-faced man". There is also his uncle Lin Mingqiang, who is also a martial artist, a big black man, who makes a bad silver gun, usually always smiling, and is nicknamed "Smiling Tiger".

Although the encirclement and suppression of the official army was thwarted, it also exposed the low combat effectiveness and lax organizational discipline of the rebel army, and they swarmed the war and did not pay attention to methods. There is also the lack of generals under Guo Yong who can fight well, and many leaders were killed and injured in the last battle with officers and soldiers, and he was promoted from the army, and he couldn't find a few decent talents, so he was anxious.

Lin Mi's uncle Lin Mingqiang and Guo Yong had a relationship before, the two once called each other brothers, often eating and drinking together, big bowls of wine and large pieces of meat, talking about the heroes of the world, lamenting that he was born at the wrong time and couldn't do something earth-shattering. "Guo Shovel Head" Guo Yong rebelled in Laiwu, specifically fighting against the officers and soldiers, Lin Mingqiang shouted after knowing it: "The big husband should be like this, the officials force the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel." Fuck it, we also reversed, went to join Brother Guo's team, and re-opened a new world. ”

Lin Mingqiang wanted to rebel. Contrary to Guo Yong's purpose, Guo Yong just wanted to bargain with the imperial court in the guò uprising, and finally came to an edict, so that he could be crowned an official and a half-post. Lin Mingqiang simply wanted to overthrow the imperial court and replace him. Coming to Mount Tai to meet Guo Yong, can Guo Yong not be happy. The two discussed, Lin Mingqiang said what he meant, Guo Yong was a little surprised, overthrew the Ming Dynasty, and boasted a little bigger. "Smiling Tiger" Lin Mingqiang said: "The victor, the prince, the loser, the thief, want to make the court peaceful." Don't mention it, can Ming Chengzu Zhu Di agree. Brother Guo, since you have already revolted, killing the officials and soldiers is the crime of exterminating the nine clans, and there is no turning back when you open the bow. ”

Guo Yong thought about it, how miserable the ministers who followed Emperor Jianwen died back then, Fang Xiaoru was Emperor Jianwen's closest minister, loyal and loyal, and was wiped out by Zhu Di Ten Clans. More than 800 people died, and the execution lasted seven days. When it came to killing Fang Xiaoru in the end, Fang Xiaoru scolded him endlessly. Zhu Di first ordered someone to cut Fang Xiaoru's mouth to his ears and cut off his tongue. This was followed by the punishment of Ling Chi, a well-known minister and scholar, and even more so of a small common man like them.

Guo Yong said: "Brother Lin's words are like an enlightenment, which makes me suddenly open. It's just that I lack generals under my command, and the rabble is hard to beat the Daimyo's army. ”

Lin Mingqiang said: "My nephew Lin Mi has the courage of ten thousand people with a copper stick, and the 'purple-faced man' Chen Zhong. A big gun is invincible, what are you afraid of, on the battlefield, I let the Ming army see who the real heroes are. ”

"Guo Shovel Head" Guo Yong calmed down, and when he heard that the vanguard of the army had arrived at Dongping Lake, Lin Mingqiang said: "Brother Guo, while their foothold is not stable, we will kill him by surprise and frustrate their spirit, and the future battle will be easy to fight." ”

Guo Yong nodded and led all the men and horses down the mountain to meet the enemy.

General Xiao Yuanzhi brought 5,000 men and horses, plus more than 10,000 local officers and soldiers, which was equivalent to the number of the righteous army, but the weapons and equipment of the righteous army were not as good as theirs, so Xiao Yuanzhi did not put the righteous army in his eyes, and the next day the two armies faced each other, Xiao Yuanzhi was also secretly surprised, the rebel army was much more powerful than he imagined, they killed the officers and soldiers in Shandong, and captured a lot of weapons and armed, especially the three big men in front of the battle, all of them were majestic and murderous. Looking at the Ming army with contempt, the leader was white-skinned, holding a long machete, and a big flag behind him was written with the word "Guo", which was floating in the wind.

Xiao Yuanzhi sneered and shouted: "Is it Guo Yong on the other side, the army is coming, don't get off the horse and surrender quickly, let alone when." ”

Guo Yong replied with a slight smile: "The officers and soldiers are nothing remarkable, aren't they also beaten by us rabble, and lose their armor, what can you do if you come today, let's fight first." ”

Well, people don't want to surrender at all, so let's talk about it.

One of Xiao Yuanzhi's fierce generals was called Wang Xi, made an iron broadsword, and said to Xiao Yuanzhi: "What nonsense are the generals talking about with them, I will first go and take a rebellious head and kill their sharp spirit." ”

Xiao Yuanzhi nodded.

Wang Xi rushed out and came to the front of the battle to call the number, Lin Mingqiang sneered and said, "Chen Zhong, you come first and kill him." ”

Chen Zhong patted the horse and rushed out, without saying anything, he raised the halberd and stabbed it, Wang Xi was not in a hurry to meet the battle, the two horses kicked by mistake, Chen Zhong's Fang Tian painting halberd swept sideways, Wang Xi raised a big knife to stop, "touch", Wang Xi's iron knife almost got out of his hand, only to know that the thief is so strong, and he is not an opponent by hitting hard, so he calmed down and prepared to win by skill.

But Chen Zhong didn't want to give him a chance, Fang Tian's halberd offensive was like a tide, the move was fast, like lightning and thunder, Wang Xi was in a hurry, tired to deal with it, this is a loss, real swords and guns on the battlefield, you don't seek to take the initiative to attack, you only know that passive defense, and death is not far away. Xiao Yuanzhi secretly screamed badly, just wanted to go up to replace him, where was the time, Chen Zhong seized the opportunity to stab, Wang Xi dodged, who knew that Chen Zhong Fangtian painted a halberd and swept it, and it hit Wang Xi, the person fell off the horse, Chen Zhong followed with a halberd, and Wang Xi died on the spot.

The rebels shouted loudly.

A member of the Ming General rushed out again, Xiao Yuanzhi saw that his subordinate, "Erlang Knife" Zhang Chi, was holding a three-pointed two-edged knife, Xiao Yuanzhi nodded, Zhang Chi was a fierce general, killing countless enemies. "Smiling Tiger" Lin Mingqiang personally went out this time, pointed at the rotten silver gun in his hand and said: "Who is coming, report the name." ”

Zhang Chi replied: "You are a thief and I am a soldier, do you still have to report your name to kill a thief, this is an extra move." ”

Lin Mingqiang nodded: "Also, there are too many nameless people who died under my hands, and I don't care about you." ”

The two began to fight, Zhang Chi struck first, the three-pointed two-edged blade in his hand swept out, the blade passed, as if absorbing the air, and the violent air flow formed a wide invisible knife curtain, with the power of destroying the qiē sideways.

Lin Mingqiang did not show weakness, the rotten silver gun in his hand was more like thunder and lightning, held in front, and the momentum like a huge wave quickly condensed, forming a vortex and stabbing out. Xiao Yuanzhi was shocked and ordered his subordinates to beat the war drums.

Zhang Chi was desperate, the opponent he met was too strong, Lin Mingqiang's rotten silver gun was like an offensive with eyes, the knife and the gun collided together, the sparks splashed, and the sharp metal collision sound was close at hand, and it was poured into the eardrum to make the eardrum faintly painful. Although the two are equal, Zhang Chi is short-tempered and eager to win, so the knife technique is not delicate, but open-minded. Lin Mingqiang was unhurried and dealt with it calmly, and no one took advantage of it after dozens of rounds.

Xiao Yuanzhi was even more surprised, he didn't expect that there was such a master among the thieves, brave and heroic, such a person could be regarded as a fierce general even in the Ming army, and it seemed that he was by no means an idle person. "Erlang Knife" Zhang Chi can only draw with him now, but he is still inferior to the enemy in terms of strategy, and it is time for him to counterattack after his strength is exhausted.

Sure enough, Lin Mingqiang gradually gained the upper hand, the rotten silver spear was superb, dancing like pear rain in the sky, and Zhang Chi had been suppressed in momentum, "Erlang Knife" Zhang Chi relied on his battlefield experience and avoided danger several times, Lin Mingqiang pressed step by step, and he had to die with him.

Xiao Yuanzhi drove his horse up, replaced Zhang Chi, and slashed his head and face with a machete, Lin Mingqiang raised his gun to block it, and there was a loud "bang",

The figures of the two shook at the same time, Xiao Yuanzhi only felt that the blood in his chest was swaying, and the strong force poured into his body by the weapon directly stirred his blood and qi turbulent, and he took a deep breath before calming down.

"Smiling Tiger" Lin Mingqiang didn't go much better, his body shook before he sat firmly, looked at Xiao Yuanzhi and said: "You are General Xiao Yuanzhi, you really live up to your reputation, come on, let's fight again." ”

Lin Mi, who had been standing still in the enemy formation, couldn't help it, and the horse bandit rushed over and shouted, "Uncle rest for a while, I'll deal with him." ”

Xiao Yuanzhi fixed his eyes and saw that he was a handsome young man, very young, but the copper stick in his hand was a little heavy, shaking and rushing up, at this time, Zhou Zhi'an, the Shaolin warrior monk in the array, quit, he saw the other party's stick, ran up in a few steps and said: "Boy, let's compete at home." ”

Lin Mi saw that it was a monk, holding a mountain shaking stick in his hand, and asked with a sneer: "Who are you, how can there be a monk in the Ming army?"

Zhou Zhi'an replied: "Lao Tzu is a warrior monk of the Shaolin Temple, what is the fuss about killing the enemy to serve the country." ”

Lin Mi was young and vigorous, and said, "The warrior monk of the Shaolin Warrior Monastery, okay, I just want to compete with you." I'm right away from your horse, as if bullying you, and it's disgraceful to win. Let's engage in foot combat. ”

After saying that, he jumped off the horse and smashed it with a stick.

Zhou Zhi'an put on a posture to meet the enemy, Lin Mi's copper stick smashed down his head and face, with the sound of the wind, tearing the air, and smashing towards Zhou Zhi'an's face door, Zhou Zhi'an wanted to try how much strength he had, and he raised his stick to meet it, only to hear the "click" All of a sudden, the wooden stick in Zhou Zhi'an's hand was broken into two from the middle, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, his body flashed back, and the copper stick almost rubbed the tip of his nose and smashed down, and the ground fell into a deep pit.
