Chapter 157: Advance with more than enough retreat, kill two birds with one stone
Countless feather arrows were shot out, falling towards Pei Xuanjing like a rain of arrows.
Then nearly five thousand soldiers formed a formation and surrounded Pei Xuanjing.
"So what if King Ning rebels? Can I, a small commander, destroy King Ning's army?" Yang Yunhui looked at Pei Xuanjing coldly and thought in his heart: "Instead of doing this, it is better to capture him first. Kill you A remnant of the gods, in exchange for merit. "
The emperor, who had finally been stable for two years just half a year ago, wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River again and traveled around the world. In order to remonstrate with him this time, he caused a dispute among the courtiers. Great petition.
Therefore, a month ago, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, who had always been ambitious, used the excuse of the emperor's debauchery and immorality, so he raised an army. He first killed the Yangzhou governor, and then beheaded the deputy envoy to the inspection, and changed the reign of the first emperor.
Established a small court with his own palace officials, appointed left and right prime ministers, six ministers and other official positions, gathered a crowd of millions, and sent out messages to various places to criticize the court. Half a month ago, he used his generals to guard the base camp, led his boat division to cover the east side of the Yangtze River, captured the city and territory all the way, and went straight to Yingtianfu in the south, hoping to restore the status of Yingtianfu and use it as the orthodox capital.
It can be said that King Ning's actions left many people dumbfounded and shocked and didn't know what to do.
In just over a month, King Ning occupied almost the entire Yangzhou and seemed to be continuing to expand outwards.
As the commander of the Guard Command Division, Yang Yunhui naturally understands the great power and wide influence of King Ning better than others.
However, even if they have soldiers and horses in their hands, it will be difficult to deal with this million-strong army.
Not long ago, Wang Yun and Wang Bo'an, the governor of Southern Gansu, issued an order to gather troops from surrounding guards and commanders to stop King Ning's rebellion. Naturally, Yang Yunhui also received the order.
Faced with such a sign, Yang Yunhui was unwilling to accept the other party's order from the bottom of his heart, even if the position of Governor Wang was far above his own.
You must know that even though King Ning left a lot of soldiers and horses behind, he has amassed millions of troops as he attacked the city and plundered the land during this period. What a terrifying force this is.
Even if Wang Boan could hastily gather the troops and horses of the surrounding guards and commanders, I am afraid that the total number of these troops and horses would not exceed one hundred thousand.
This is a gap of ten times. Even if Wang Bo'an has the power of the Four Saints, he may not be able to deal with King Ning's million-strong army just like the reincarnation of Marquis Wu.
It can be said that in Yang Yunhui's view, leading troops there is undoubtedly a moth flying into the flame and seeking death.
But once you receive this kind of order to raise troops and serve the king, you have to accept it. Once you disobey it, I am afraid it is no different from rebellion, and you will definitely be settled by the imperial court.
You must know that although Yang Yunhui is afraid of King Ning's million-strong army, he is only worried that he will become cannon fodder. He was well aware of Ming Dynasty's strength and knew that before the opponent occupied Nandu, the chance of winning would be very small.
So Yang Yunhui could only ask someone to lead some troops there first, while he found a reason to delay for a few days.
Just when he had no reason to continue delaying, he accidentally got the news about Pei Xuanjing, which made him ecstatic. He saw a way to have the best of both worlds. He could not only find reasons to avoid going to die, but also avoid being punished. The reason for future investigation by the court.
He immediately sent a letter to Wang Bo'an, saying in the letter: I have received news about Pei Xuanjing, a remnant of the Shenxiao sect. He is heading towards Yangzhou for some unknown reason, and he may be involved with the traitor Zhu Chen. The meaning of Haoheliu.
Therefore, I decided to personally lead the remaining troops to capture and kill this thief, so as to prevent him from cooperating with the traitor Zhu Chenhao and causing various forces to follow him.
With this reason, he led his men to ambush here early, using Pei Xuanjing's life as his escape route. As long as he could capture and kill Pei Xuanjing, he would be in an invincible position, and he could attack or retreat. You can keep it, no more worries.
At this moment, he leads his troops to follow King Boanqin, and his life or death is not yet known. On the contrary, Pei Xuanjing has a huge reward on his body. If he can catch him, it will be a great achievement. Yang Yunhui looked at Pei Xuanjing as if he saw a bright future for him to get promoted and make a fortune.
Pei Xuanjing didn't know Yang Yunhui's dirty plan. He was eager to leave. When he saw Yang Yunhui attacking him without hesitation, he was furious.
Faced with the rain of arrows coming from the shop, Pei Xuanjing was not afraid at all. He flicked his sleeves and robe, and his strong Qi surged out, blowing up countless strong winds and knocking down the rain of arrows easily.
Looking at the soldiers who had formed a battle formation and came up, Pei Xuanjing sat motionless on his horse, and the Shenxiao Sword was unsheathed.
Boom!
Pei Xuanjing slashed out several swords one after another, and countless sword energy criss-crossed, killing the soldiers within ten feet beside him.
Faced with Pei Xuanjing's brutal and outrageous killing, even these brave soldiers could not help but hesitate, and their steps temporarily stopped.
"What are you doing standing there, kill him!" Yang Yunhui in the distance saw some hesitation among his soldiers and shouted angrily.
"Pei Xuanjing, a remnant of the Divine Sky, colluded with the traitor Zhu Chenhao to rebel. He is a treasonous person. As long as he can be killed, he will be rewarded with a reward of a hundred taels and promoted to two levels." Yang Yunhui did not hesitate and pointed a rebel hat towards him. Pei Xuanjing took it down.
No matter what, Pei Xuanjing was a criminal wanted by the court, and many people in the court were killed under his command. When Yang Yunhui said this, the soldiers once again formed a battle formation and rushed towards Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing's eyes were full of murderous intent: "Haha."
It was true that he had a grudge against the Ming Dynasty, but now a mere guard commander dared to accuse him of casual charges, which made him very unhappy.
Pei Xuanjing killed the soldiers who wanted to get close to him with several swords, and then looked at Yang Yunhui with cold eyes.
He turned over from his horse and landed on the ground, holding the Shenxiao Sword tightly in his hand. Every time he swung the sword, a soldier was killed, but in the blink of an eye, he was able to clear a path.
At the end of this road, it is Yang Yunhui.
"Quick, stop him!" Yang Yunhui's expression changed drastically and he said to the guards around him.
Yang Yunhui never expected that Pei Xuanjing in front of him would be so fierce. Even nearly five thousand soldiers could not stop him.
It must be clear that the reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to suppress the world did not rely on those strong martial artists, but on these most ordinary soldiers.
Even if five thousand soldiers cannot kill a first-level warrior, they are enough to kill the opponent.
But Pei Xuanjing was far more powerful than he expected.
In this way, his plan failed.
Looking at Pei Xuanjing, who was like a murderous god, he remembered the killing names left by Pei Xuanjing, and couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Pei Xuanjing had a coldness on his body, and he was slowly approaching him like a god of death. With every step he took, Yang Yunhui felt as if he was one step closer to death.
