Chapter 558 Leopard Cavalry! Mighty!(1/2)
Chapter 558: Leopard Cavalry! Majestic!
Ma Jinwu actually knew that Zhang Zhun had arrived at Dongjiabao. Any news related to Zhang Zhun spread very quickly. However, he knew one thing, but he didn't know another thing. He didn't know that the Leopard Cavalry arrived at Dongjiabao. Because when the Leopard Cavalry appeared, he only said that he was the Leopard Cavalry, but he did not say that they were the Leopard Cavalry of the Tiger Army. Many people thought that the Leopard Cavalry came out of some horse thieves.
People who practice martial arts are sometimes very nervous and never pay much attention to some detailed information. In fact, there is no big problem, just hire a master. The problem is that Ma Jinwu is unwilling to spend money to hire a master. This has been the case these days. Civil officials look down on military generals, and martial arts practitioners look down on literati who have no power to catch chickens. If there is a master, they may appropriately remind Ma Jinwu to pay attention. Unfortunately, there is no.
Ma Jinwu was dreaming and wanted to kill Zhang Zhun. From Wen Chengru, Ma Jinwu learned that if anyone could kill Zhang Zhun, the court would not blame him, and even would have a great reward. The court was actually very afraid of Zhang Zhun. No matter who was, no matter what method he took, as long as he could kill Zhang Zhun, he could get rid of the court's major concerns. So Ma Jinwu was very angry for a moment, gathered more Ma's army and rushed to Dongjiabao.
Dongjiabao actually seduced Zhang Zhun and killed the third son of the Ma family, making Ma Jinwu furious. He was used to being arrogant in Hejian Mansion and did not take others seriously at all. So many martial artists in Hejian Mansion have families and careers. What they fear most is to be labeled as a rebel and then be suppressed by the court. Dongjiabao colluded with Zhang Zhun this time, which was no different from the real rebels. The Ma family army must flatten Dongjiabao and give all other martial artists a role model.
Ma Jinwu also felt that there was nothing extraordinary about Zhang Zhun himself. Shandong and Northern Zhili were completely different things. Shandong had its own system of governors, but Northern Zhili did not. The information was conveyed either by rumors or by beautification by the six ministries. In order to reduce the influence of Zhang Zhun and the Hu Ben Army, the court deliberately did not mention the specific contributions of Zhang Zhun and the Hu Ben Army in Huangxian. People who don’t know the inside story thought that Zhang Zhun was a so-called man. As a result, Ma Jinwu, who was very nervous, was immediately deceived.
Ma Jinwu suspected that the heads of the Tartars were just Zhang Zhun who was killing good and making achievements. Everyone knew this trick. The people above deliberately did not realize it, and they must have accepted Zhang Zhun's bribes. Perhaps Zhang Zhun was still a figure in Shandong, but he was not even a little snake in Northern Zhili. Ma Jinwu always felt that Northern Zhili, which was at the foot of the emperor, was much better than Shandong. It was absolutely impossible for Zhang Zhun to try to play wild in Hejian Prefecture.
Ma Jinwu knew that Dongjiabao had such a little combat power. They didn’t even have a musket. Even with Zhang Zhun’s help, they wouldn’t be much stronger. Nowadays, without muskets, no matter how good the kung fu is, they are a scumbag. The Ma family army has two thousand people, and even if they use their lives to fill it, they can crush Zhang Zhun to death. As long as they kill Zhang Zhun, Dongjiabao... is it still a problem?
Along the way, Ma Jinwu was fantasizing about what kind of reward he would get after killing Zhang Zhun. The second son in Ma's vest was a soldier in Xuanfu and is now in a garrison. I heard that life was not easy there, with thousands of miles of barren land, barren land, and no harvest. Moreover, the Tartars could invade again at any time. If they made great contributions, they must first find a way to transfer the second son from Xuanfu, which is too dangerous.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the sound of a musket came, interrupting Ma Jinwu's fantasy.
Ma Jinwu was slightly stunned, turned his head to look around, and found nothing abnormal. The Ma family army beside him also found nothing abnormal. Only the curious people stood on tiptoe and looked around, but nothing was discovered. However, it was indeed the sound of a musket.
"Continue to rush!"
Ma Jinwu shouted impatiently.
I don’t know where the muskets were firing. It might be that there were some sporadic thieves nearby, who wanted to make a vote when the Ma family army came out. On the ground of Cangzhou, there were mixed fish and dragons, and there were all kinds of people. There were actually quite a lot of martial artists who became bandits. They changed into black head hoods, and they were thieves. Once they took off their head hoods, they became human again. Maybe they found that the Ma family soldiers were numerous, so the horse thieves dared not do it, so they had to shoot a shot and escape in shame.
"Dad, things are not going well!"
At this moment, someone hurriedly rode over.
Ma Jinwu looked up and saw that it was his son Ma Wencai.
"What's wrong?"
Ma Jinwu said disapprovingly.
"Old Peng was killed."
Ma Wencai said nervously.
"Old Peng?"
Ma Jinwu was slightly stunned.
Lao Peng is their home guard, and his skills are still very strong. More than a dozen people cannot get close to him at all. Among the Ma clan, Lao Peng has the title of elder. Under normal circumstances, Ma Jinwu also attaches great importance to Lao Peng. He died? How could it be?
"When Lao Peng walked, his stomach felt a little uncomfortable. Maybe he had diarrhea, so he got off the horse and ran to the side of the road to get diarrhea. I don't know what happened, so I fired a musket, and Lao Peng disappeared. We didn't even see the shadow of the enemy."
Ma Wencai said anxiously and angrily.
"I'll go and have a look."
Ma Jinwu frowned.
"On here!"
Ma Wencai hurriedly led his father over.
Lao Peng was indeed dead. His body was pressed on the feces he pulled out, which was stinky. After stripping off his clothes, he found that Lao Peng had a very small wound on his left chest, the size of a soybean. Blood kept oozing out of the wound, dyeing the surrounding ground red. It was this small wound that directly killed Lao Peng. Judging from Lao Peng's actions when he fell down, he should have not struggled and sat down on the feces he pulled out.
Seeing Lao Peng's miserable situation, the people around him were a little disgusted. Because Lao Peng practiced the authentic golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt. He was a decades old and had never even been close to the woman once. However, such a small wound killed Lao Peng. What made them even more uneasy was that Lao Peng was obviously attacked from a long distance. It was impossible for everyone here, including Ma Jinwu, to get close to Lao Peng without being discovered by Lao Peng.
Lao Peng's wound was obviously caused by the shooting of the projectile shot from the musket. He killed Lao Peng with one shot without being discovered by Lao Peng. Such an enemy is really a bit scary! The flying bird gun equipped by the Ma family army does not have such an effect. The flying bird gun can only shoot targets within a dozen feet at most, and may not be able to hit the left chest with one shot, just in the center.
"Dong Sanhuai, who fucked his grandmother, this account must be settled on him."
"Let's go! Continue to head towards Dongjiabao!"
Ma Jinwu shouted viciously.
He couldn't even see his opponent anywhere, so he could only settle the accounts on Dongjiabao's head.
After cursing angrily, Ma Jinwu had to wave his hand and let someone clean Lao Peng's body as much as possible, and then put it on the horse's back, preparing to send it back to Nanpi for burial after leveling Dongjiabao. Before he could succeed, he died before he could succeed. The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the creature was hurt. Looking at Lao Peng's body straddled on the horse's back, the other leaders of the Ma family army were a little depressed.
"Bang!"
While I was sad, suddenly, another sound of a musket came from there.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. Perhaps because of the impact of Lao Peng being beaten to death, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous, worried that they would hear bad news again. Some people subconsciously squatted down and tried to avoid the muskets that were shot from somewhere. More people were looking for whom the muskets caused harm to. As a result, someone quickly shouted: "Lao Lei was beaten to death! Lao Lei was beaten to death!"
Ma Jinwu's face couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. Lao Lei is also a guardian of the Nanpi Ma clan and is older than Lao Peng. Lao Lei is best at various hidden weapons. Among the Ma clan, Lao Lei has a very high status and is usually valued by Ma Jinwu. Because when necessary, Lao Lei's hidden weapons are a good helper to assassinate the enemy. He Jichun resisted desperately that day, but the Ma clan could not capture it for a long time, and the result was that Lao Lei's hidden weapons were hit by Lao Lei's hidden weapons.
Lao Lei was also hit in the left chest by a small musket projectile, and shot him deadly. He fell down from the horse's back and rolled on the ground for a few times, and then there was no sound. The person who took action was really cruel. At such a long distance, he actually killed Lao Lei. Perhaps, Lao Lei's luck was really bad.
"The enemy is there!"
"The enemy is there!"
"The enemy is there!"
The shouts came one after another, and the Ma family army was excited.
This time, the Ma family army quickly discovered the murderer's location. The murderer was about forty feet away from him, and was a man in a grass-green military uniform. The reason why he was called a military uniform was a subconscious behavior of everyone. They could tell at a glance that the other party's actions were definitely not ordinary thieves. There was no such thief on the ground of Hejian Mansion.
The fields in November were basically full of dead grass, and many places were bare, and the murderer could only use the terrain to cover them. After firing the gun, the white smoke from the musket exposed his position, and he was immediately discovered by the Ma family army. However, he had prepared the war horse behind him, and only saw him running quickly to the side of the war horse, quickly rolling over the horse, and then disappeared.
"Chase!"
"Kill him!"
"Catch up and kill him!"
Ma Jin came out without fighting, and shouted viciously.
If you kill someone, you still want to run away? Is it transparent to be a Ma clan?
Damn, if you catch this bastard, he must regret coming to this world!
"Dad, I'll chase you!"
Someone shouted angrily.
But it was Ma Jincai, another son of Ma Jinwu.
"good!"
"you go!"
"You bring a few more people, it's best to catch him alive!"
Ma Jinwu shouted with a ferocious expression.
He really hated this murderer too much. If he killed the other party with one knife, he would feel unrelieving his hatred. He must catch the other party back alive, and then use 108 tortures to slowly torture him to death. If he died in 107, it would not be considered as relieving his hatred.
Ma Jincai immediately followed dozens of Ma's children out. They also had war horses and their riding skills were quite good. As for their weapons, they were all waist knives. In plain areas like Northern Zhili, waist knives were enough. The requirements for riding and shooting were too high, and they were generally not learned. The spear was too heavy and it was not convenient to carry.
Their speed was very fast, and after a moment, their figure disappeared from Ma Jinwu's sight. The murderer ran away very quickly, and Ma Jincai and others had to catch up with him as quickly as possible in order to catch the other party.
Due to the long-term drought and low rain, many areas of Hejian Prefecture have become very deserted. A large number of fields have become wastelands. Many places are occupied by weeds. It is winter now, and the weeds are withered and yellow, which looks ugly. However, such conditions are very conducive to the battle between cavalry. Because, when looking at the horse's back, there is no place for the enemy to hide.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a vague gunshot came, and it was the direction Ma Jin was chasing.
Ma Jinwu couldn't help but tighten his heart, and his eyebrows couldn't help but jump. Perhaps because of the assassination of Lao Peng and Lao Lei, Ma Jinwu always felt his eyebrows beating uneasy. To be honest, this is a very bad sign. Generally speaking, if there is such an sign, Ma Jinwu will not fight with others. His superstitious thoughts are actually quite serious.
Ma Wencai next to him was also a little uneasy. The bodies of Lao Peng and Lao Lei were still on the horse's back, and strings of blood beads were dripping downwards. The scene was very depressing. The two living masters of the Ma clan were killed silently, which was really speechless. Hearing the gunshots from afar, he couldn't help but whisper: "Dad, brother... should be fine, right?"
Ma Jinwu reluctantly calmed down and frowned and said, "What can I do?"
Ma Jinwu is still very confident about the kung fu of his eldest son Ma Jincai. As long as Ma Jincai gets entangled with the other party, the other party will be disabled even if he doesn't die. However, Ma Jinwu's heart always has some shadows. Because the small wound on Lao Peng's body impressed him deeply. Such a small wound would cost Lao Peng's life, his own son...
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, there was a loud gunfire in front of me, as if it was a bean blowing.
Ma Jinwu suddenly felt bad.
ambush!
There must be an ambush!
Damn the murderer must have set up an ambush in front of Ma Jincai.
"quick!"
"Go quickly!"
"Go and ask your brother to withdraw!"
Ma Jinwu roared anxiously.
The moment the gunshots were heard, Ma Jinwu finally woke up. It was not a sporadic behavior of the thief, but an organized and premeditated one. The murderer who killed Lao Lei deliberately lured Ma Jin to chase him. His accomplices must have been ambushed not far away, waiting for Ma Jin to fall into the trap. He almost concluded the identity of the murderer. He must have been a member of the Leopard Cavalry!
Ma Wencai also felt bad, so he hurriedly took a few disciples of the Ma family and ran towards the place where the gunshots were fired. He also realized that what they encountered was not ordinary thieves, but the leopard cavalry that had just popped up in the past few days! He even concluded that these leopard cavalry must have a close relationship with Zhang Zhun.
"Da da da da!"
To be continued...
