On the thirty day, a horse rushed into Yangzhuang Temple.

This place is at the junction of two provinces, three prefectures and counties. According to legend, there was a temple in the Sui Dynasty. The Yang surname moved to this temple to build a village, which was named Yangzhuang Temple.

At this time, the temple villages had long been occupied by bandits, and the broken walls were everywhere, and the desolate walls were everywhere. Generally, the governments at the junction of provincial, prefectures and counties were weak, and bandits liked the most, and bandits were wandering wildly. The people living in these places either died or fled.

Seeing that Yangzhuang Temple has been abandoned for a long time, I don’t know if the people are all dead or have escaped.

At this time, the village was in a mess, with all kinds of bandits everywhere. They sat or stood, lying or leaning on each other, chatting and laughing loudly, without discipline. Their weapons and equipment were also diverse, including big knives, spears, short axes, sticks, etc. Some even carried feces and forks to palladium.

However, there are also elites among these ordinary bandits, such as archers, sword and shield hands, big stick hands, etc. The ones who can use these weapons are old thieves, with more than 200 people.

Especially there are dozens of horse thieves riding in the inner world, who are even more powerful old bandits. Nowadays, no one can ride horses is ordinary people.

However, no matter whether it is the old thief, the same characteristic of these bandits is cruelty, and every move is full of hostility and cruelty.

Even the secret bandit who looked unknown in the countryside in the past, honest and honest, did not hide his temperament at this time.

Seeing the rider rushed in quickly, the bandits looked at each other and wondered: "What's wrong with Er Pang? He was so angry that he was. What happened?"

And the rider kept rushing his horse and headed towards a courtyard in the village.

"What?"

When the rider entered the house to report, some people in the hall stood up involuntarily and screamed in surprise.

At this time, the lobby of the somewhat collapsed courtyard was full of people. The leader was a woman who was about fifty years old and had a bit of charm, tied with a handkerchief and a pink cloak.

She has two single phoenix eyes, and when she looks at people, she always seems to be seductive, but her eyes are intentionally or unintentionally showing a hint of viciousness. She looks like she is wearing a strong outfit, wearing a sabre, and carrying a double-entry, and seems to be quite tough immediately. It is Zhao Gaotang's mother, a famous evil bandit Ma Ma in Pizhou.

She was born into a bandit family with a native of Ma in Pizhou. She has been influenced since she was a child and is very talented in matters such as murder and kidnapping.

She started killing people at the age of twelve, and liked to "put smallpox" and liked the feeling of bloody brain rushing high when the human ticket was hit by a pickaxe.

Due to her family, she has worked hard to practice martial arts since she was a child. She is skilled in bows and horses, can chop and chop, and can ride and shoot.

She married at the age of fourteen and was also a local bandit family. However, until she was sixteen, her belly was not moving, so her husband's family wanted to leave her.

How could she be so angry that she put down a handful of fire, and dozens of people in her husband's family were all turned into ashes.

Then she married another son of the bandit family, Zhao Gaotang's father Zhao Zongyi, but she was fascinated by her eyes. She must marry her despite being a widow.

Then he gave birth to Zhao Gaotang the next year. Somehow, not long after giving birth to Zhao Gaotang, Zhao Zongyi accidentally fell off a cliff during a crime and fell to death.

After that, Ma Ma raised Zhao Gaotang and grew up. Although she was a woman, she was cruel, cunning and cruel. Soon, she took charge of the affairs of the Zhao family.

She was also good at looking at the direction of the wind and the world environment at that time, so she vigorously trained her son Zhao Gaotang, which made him pass the exam for a scholar.

The mother and son are both bright and dark, and the Zhao family quickly became a famous big family in Pizhou City, and Ma Ma secretly controlled more and more bandits. When the grandson Zhao Huanlu was born and became an admired student, the development of the Zhao family became even more out of control.

Of course, Ma Ma is not an ordinary person, not a person who is willing to enjoy her grandchildren at home. The mountain villages, barren ridges, wild lands, blood and fire, screams are her favorite. She has not been in the state city or appeared in front of others for more than half a year.

So although she is famous, most people only hear about her reputation and have not seen her. Ordinary people don’t know her relationship with the Zhao family.

Decades have passed in a flash, and she has also changed from Sister Ma to Ma Ma, and now she is in her fifties.

The "Lijiazhuang Massacre" is just one of her countless evil deeds. After committing the crime, she skillfully ran to the outside world. This is also their family experience. The officers and soldiers chased them from the east and fled west, while arrested them in the south and fled north. They hid for a while and came out to rob them again.

At this time, it was extremely difficult to coordinate across border suppression of bandits. Patrol officials from all over the country often pushed forward and waited and refused to work together, which also allowed them, such bandits to hide and recover and grow and survive.

Then her lower head was Cai Chun, Zhang Dazi, Zhang Erzi, Zhang Youqing, Zhang Youyi and others, and there were also military advisors at her hall, accounting, patrol, command, and provocateurs.

The one who came in to report was the elite Pang Wanao and Pang Erye under her quest. He had outstanding riding skills, but he was not far from the horse. He shouted that the officers and soldiers were coming, not far from Yangzhuang Temple. Judging from their banner, they were under the command of Yang He, the general manager of Pizhou.

The riots in the hall were incredible when they heard this. The first reaction of the bandits was incredible. The rural soldiers from Pizhou, Huai'an Prefecture, Nanzhili actually came to Shandong. Is there any law of the Heavenly Li King?

Also, where did Dai Xubao and the others go? Why didn’t there be any news about the officers and soldiers? Could it be that they...

Thinking about the officers and soldiers coming straight, it seems that Dai Xubao and others are in danger, and this group of officers and soldiers are also quite fierce.

Cai Chun looked resentful and said tremblingly: "What's wrong with the Ming Dynasty? The soldiers from Pizhou Township have all come to Shandong? They are good at crossing the border. They are really not a country!"

Zhang Youqing asked: "How many of them are there? Are there any horse-team elites?"

Mr. Pang said: "They have a horse team intercepted them, but I didn't see clearly. There are probably hundreds of people. In addition to the township soldiers, there are also new joint defenses in the local area."

Everyone frowned. The information was too blurry. Big Zhang shouted: "So what about the officers and soldiers? It's not that they haven't fought, they've fought with them."

He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, thick arms, round legs, and very high cheekbones. He looks very fierce. Because he is tall and big, his real name is Zhang Qiyun, and everyone calls him Zhang Dazi.

His younger brother Zhang Qiyou is also very beautiful, and he looks similar to his brother, but his mouth is bigger, his lips are thicker, and his chin is shoveled out, making him look more fierce. He is called Zhang and two.

The two of them were influenced by their families and also killed people since childhood. In this Lijiazhuang tragedy, their subordinates were extremely vicious. In addition to ruining many women, they also cut a girl into a caesarean and filled it with stones. The babies were excitedly placed under the stone roller and crushed them into meat paste.

Although most of them were on the run during their career as bandits, they had never fought against weak officers and soldiers.

After hearing from Mr. Pang Er, the group of soldiers in the village were less than 1,000, they thought they could fight.

At this time, Cai Chun came to his senses and suggested running away immediately. Yang He once defeated the Eight Great Kings, King Chuang and others and beheaded thousands of people. Isn’t that a minor matter? When encountering such a person, he cannot compete with him, he can only turn in.

Zhang Da and others disagreed. What should they do if they run away? Yang He's soldiers were so magical, but they didn't know what they were like. It's better to fight and say nothing else.

Everyone was arguing, and finally they looked at Ma Ma to see what she said.

Ma Ma also pondered, not many hundreds of officers and soldiers, but still the village soldiers. It is logical that thousands of them should not be afraid of them. However, Yang He is indeed famous and should not be underestimated. Ma Ma has been a bandit for decades and is still alive and leaping around, relying on the word "cautious".

She pondered, "Go and see how they are."

...

However, the development of the matter was beyond the expectations of Ma Ma and others. Mr. Pang Er, who was exploring the hall, reported that the Pizhou township soldiers were not far away. They looked up the broken village wall and saw that the village soldiers he mentioned had reached a mile away and were not far from the village.

Especially the horse team that Mr. Pang said was indeed dozens of horses, each of whom was a gray felt cloak, rumbling and rushing towards him, cheering and screaming, and his every move was extremely fierce. Some people even seemed to have good horsemanship.

Then there were infantry behind the horse team. From a distance, they only saw their red mandarin duck battle jackets, green armored clothes, red hats, military caps and red shoulder scarves, full of murderous spirits.

Ma Ma and others looked ugly. The soldiers and infantrymen in Pizhou Township opposite were strong and the horse team was excellent. They couldn't escape? After all, there were dozens of horse teams on both sides, and it was hard to say whether they could escape by chasing each other. Moreover, once they ran away, the infighters under their command might not survive.

The next thing shocked Ma Ma and others even more. She sent Fu Wuye, who was surveillance, to take a few people to take a look and peek at the details of the group at close range.

Fu Wuye was an old man who was exploring the hall. He was extremely skilled in riding. He not only could chop and chop, but also shoot arrows on horseback. He was the only two brave riders in their ranks except Ma Ma.

Unexpectedly, Master Fu Wu led a few riders over, and there were also a few riders out there. They did not fight close at a distance, but only ran around Master Fu Wu and others. Both sides were about a dozen steps away.

Then the riders on the opposite side seemed to take out their hand guns and shoot them immediately. Unfortunately, the few people here didn't even touch their horse hair, and they rode on the horse and were hit one by one.

After all, Master Fu Wu was a cavalryman, and he was not completely unable to resist. He also shot a few arrows immediately. However, everyone on the opposite side had cards, and the arrows shot were blocked by their cards.

They shot at Fu Wu Master with their pistols. Poor Fu Wu Master had all his skills, but he watched him be beaten. He even threw the bow and arrow, waved his saber, and wanted to chop off the opposite horse soldiers. They just ran around and did not contact him.

In the end, Master Fu Wu was dealt with by several guns.

Ma Ma and others on the village wall were even pale. What kind of firearms were used on the opposite side and what kind of hand gun did they not need a fuse rope?

It seems that you can still shoot three shots in a row? Such a gun is equal to three guns.

If you carry two guns, wouldn’t it be equivalent to six guns?

Moreover, holding a rein in one hand and shooting a gun in the other hand is always more convenient and accurate than shooting an arrow in both hands. People who can only chop and slash will have no power to fight back when they face them?

How can I fight this?

But it’s impossible not to fight. After all, Ma Ma and others are bandits, so how can they sit and wait for death?

At this time, I could see clearly that there were six or seven hundred people opposite and nearly a thousand people here, and they were not completely powerless to resist.

Although the village soldiers on the opposite side are strong and the one named Yang is also famous, they have never fought before, so it is still unknown who will win.

Seeing this side rushing, the footsteps of the military formation stopped. With a loud roar from their "tiger", the shield landed, and seventy black bird guns protruded out.

The bandits here continued to charge, starting from more than 200 steps, and rushed into within a hundred steps. However, the bandits were also very scheming. From their perspective, the archers and swords and shields of the joint defense teams gathered on the left side of the formation, bent their bows and arrows, and only looked at them, so they subconsciously leaned to the right.

Especially after their archers entered a hundred steps, they called the order and all more than 200 people shot arrows. As the bowstrings vibrated, the howling arrow rain rushed to the sky and fell into the formation ahead. They shot wave after wave, and the arrows were like rainstorms.

The archers of the Joint Defense Team also shot arrows and fought back, and the sound of bowstrings came one after another. The arrows whizzed down. Some of the charge bandits blocked the arrows with their shields, while others were caught in the arrows and screamed. But they could tolerate such casualties. The bandits howled and rushed towards the shield formation in front.

They were getting closer and closer, and they rushed into fifty steps in a blink of an eye.

Gao Yan howled, holding the big knife, looking at the black head in front of him, so excited that he couldn't do it himself.

Looking at Brother Gao Jun beside him, he also screamed in a strange voice, and his expression was extremely ferocious.

Suddenly, a sharp swan sound came from the opposite side, followed by a deafening explosion, and white smoke rolled over the shield formation in front.

Gao Yan heard a scream in front of him, and the blood mist was foggy, and many brothers rolled on the ground.

Before he could react, there was another sharp swan sound. The musket burst out in front of him again, and the white smoke spread out like a flying dragon. In the dazzling fireworks, blood flowers were dotted, just like the gorgeous and instantly passing flowers.

Many brothers rolled on the ground again, covering the shots, wailing in pain.

When he rushed to this position, Gao Yan also saw a brother who was shot, who was "injured" and his intestines were shot out, and he was flowing all over the floor in colorful ways.

He rolled and howled, and cried like the woman he despised the most, he stuffed his intestines hard, and it seemed that all the strong blood bravery was gone after being shot.

Gao Yan's whole body trembled, and his enthusiasm and momentum just now disappeared. He looked at Brother Gao Jun beside him and the brothers in front of him, his lips were trembling and his face was pale. Each of them was hesitant.

At this time, a scream of horror came from the front. Gao Yan could see clearly. The shield array still shrouded in white smoke in front was moved away, and then huge black holes appeared. Look at it, it was actually a cannon?

His mind was blank. Before he could decide whether to enter or escape, he heard the continuous sharp cannon sound of "bang bang bang bang bang--" and the guns in front of him were sprayed with long and thick smoke. Then, in the flames, a large piece of fine red light, with white smoke trajectories, sweeping over his head and face.

The formation seemed to be shrouded under the power of the shotgun. Blood mist suddenly appeared on the bodies of the charge bandits, and rolled down like a wheat-cutting plant.

How powerful is the shotgun ball within fifty steps? Many overlapping targets are penetrated by the front and back. Some people's hands and feet are hit by the scene, and the limbs are broken on the spot. The head is hit, and even if the eggs and watermelons are broken, all kinds of blood and brains are bursting high and far away.

In a blink of an eye, shrill screams and wails came one after another.
To be continued...
