Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 56 Ambush Since the fall, Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao have been working together well.

The reason for this, in addition to the tacit understanding that the master and apprentice developed in the past, is that Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao each took a step back.

Zhou Mengyao at least calmed down and no longer looked down on Qi Xuansu, but put Qi Xuansu on a relatively equal footing.

In this way, some words will not provoke Zhou Mengyao's nerves.

Because the same words, said by people of equal status and people of lower status, have completely different effects.

Qi Xuansu was deliberately flattering.

Don't think that Qi Xuansu has little contact with women. Strictly speaking, Qi Xuansu just avoids contact with some women who are easy to generate rumors. Except for Zhang Yuelu, he is not willing to have a relationship with other women.

But Qi Xuansu still had a lot of contact with serious women, especially those at the level of "mothers", such as the Seventh Mother, the Fifth Mother, the Third Mother, the Master's Mother, the Mother-in-law, and maybe there will be the Big Mother, the Ninth Mother, the Twelve Mothers in the future, no one can predict.

There are even more in terms of working together, private relationships or hostility, such as Li Ruoshui, Shi Bingyun, Yao Pei, Lei Xiaohuan, Bai Yingqiong, Xu Jiaorong, Xu Xiaoying, Ye Qingshuang, Qian Xiangyun, Chen Shuhua, Chen Jianqiu, Yuheng Star Lord, Shangguan Ya, Huangfu Xi, Tan Taiying, Qian Wan, Xiao Yueru, Li Zhuyu, Yang Shaozhen, Ke Qingqing, Qi Muyu, Huan Ji, Fengchen Chiyo, Long Xiaobai, Lu Yushu, Lu Yuting, Li Qingnu, Yue Liuli, Song Yu, etc.

Among the younger generations, there are Liu Hu and Xiao Yin.

Among the gods, there are Yixiqier, He Luoshen, and Ziguang Zhenjun.

It can be said that it is all-encompassing, with all kinds of people.

That is to say, Qi Xuansu's mind is not in this direction, and Zhang Yuelu firmly disagrees. Otherwise, it is not difficult to establish a so-called harem.

After interacting with so many women, Qi Xuansu really summed up a set of rules.

Except for a few cases or special cases such as Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei, most of the time you can't reason with women, because women don't reason.

Women's emotions are women's reason.

As long as women are unhappy, everything is wrong.

As long as women are happy, wrong is right.

This is the logic of women.

A very simple example, what a woman says when she is angry cannot be taken seriously, and it is likely that she is speaking in a sarcastic way.

For example, after a quarrel, say something like let's calm down, and if you really believe her lies, the situation will be magnified. The subtext is not to ignore her. Qi Niang is a woman, and this set is very useful.

Follow Qi Niang's emotions, then Da Er is right.

Don't follow Qi Niang's emotions, present facts and reason, then don't blame Qi Niang for ignoring the facts with you.

Zhou Mengyao is also a woman, and the female fairy is also a woman, and she is also a good friend of Qinniang for many years.

So as long as Qi Xuansu overcomes the psychological barriers, is willing to temporarily put aside the past, take care of Zhou Mengyao's emotions, and obey Zhou Mengyao's emotions, under the pressure of the external environment, the relationship between the two will easily move towards harmony and unity, rather than enemies.

However, taking care of emotions does not mean that you must kneel down and look at her. As the saying goes, the more you lack something, the more you want it. When dealing with the weak, you must show enough respect.

When dealing with the strong, it is not necessary to do so. The key lies in the common interests of each other. Zhou Mengyao is not only a woman, but also a strong person.

The common interest of the two is to leave this place, which is the top priority.

As for Qi Xuansu occasionally unable to control himself and stab her, they are all trivial matters.

Only by uniting can we overcome difficulties. Since there is no big problem with the internal core, the development of the Bright Church is naturally quite rapid, not limited to one fortress, and it begins to develop rapidly to other fortresses.

The names of Tianxianliangshi and Tiangong General have been circulated in many counties.

The Great Sage Master is mainly responsible for preaching and teaching. Zhou Mengyao has selected a group of people who are good at speaking and are ready to train them into Taoist priests.

Qi Xuansu is looking for hands to form the Yellow Coin Army, and he still continues the tradition of good families in the court of all dynasties, selecting people with good character from the local militia.

Driving and fighting is not about personal bravery, but about discipline.

Although Qi Xuansu has never trained soldiers before, and the Wanxiang Taoist Temple does not teach this, no one is born knowing how to do it. All the uprisings in the past dynasties were created from scratch.

Qi Xuansu has participated in two large-scale wars. He has seen pigs run even though he has never eaten pork. He is also quite capable. The main thing is discipline and cooperation. Compared with regular black-clothed men or spiritual officials, of course, he is far inferior, but in the countryside, it is already a very high level. Many people were booed and admired General Guan Gong.

However, no matter how well you train soldiers, you still have to go through actual combat.

Only by leading them to victory can we establish prestige and make people truly convinced.

The local soldiers put their lives in the hands of the generals. If the generals can see the soldiers win the battle and come back alive, then the soldiers' trust in the generals will be far greater than the emperor who is far away.

This opportunity came soon.

The governor's office probably received the news and sent five hundred-man teams to extinguish the rioters and the evil people who spread rumors and deceived the people.

After sending people to investigate the enemy situation, Qi Xuansu decided to give up defending the city and take the initiative to attack and set up an ambush on the way.

This was a field battle, which was unimaginable for the Bai family who built a stronghold to protect themselves.

With the obstruction of the city wall, the officers and soldiers would have to dismount and fight on foot. But without the city wall, the infantry would not be able to fight against the cavalry, and it would even be a one-sided massacre.

Therefore, there are many voices of opposition and many voices of doubt.

Qi Xuansu made the decision despite the pressure, and pushed the matter forward by seeing that the authority of the Taiping Sect was still very fragile. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was determined to have his own way.

If he wins, those who oppose him will naturally become a stepping stone for Qi Xuansu, which further proves that Qi Xuansu has precise vision and a godlike military skills.

But if they fail, then Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao's missionary mission can be regarded as half-way colonization.

The reason why Qi Xuansu dared to make such a determination was because Zhou Mengyao told him one thing - as the Taiping Sect was established and on the right track, Zhou Mengyao had begun to receive a small amount of incense wish power.

Although for the huge body of the immortals, this little incense and wish power is indeed insignificant, but for them now, it is the rain after a long drought, and they can already do a lot of things.

Zhou Mengyao will also personally take action this time and perform a "miracle" again.

In this way, winning battles and adding "miracles" on a larger scale is equivalent to further consolidating faith and gaining more incense and vows, which can make the snowball get bigger and bigger.

After making all preparations, Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao set off with 600 people.

Qiangran Qi Xuansu also wanted to practice a set of fighting methods of driving the duck formation, and surpass the concealment of the Weapon Immortal and Military God, but the time was too short, and Qi Xuansu also knew only a little about it, so he couldn't do it at all. The best he can do now is Driving in formation, they can barely form a formation during a battle, and can advance or retreat according to orders.

Now all hopes are on Zhou Mengyao, Qi Xuansu only plays a supporting role.

The result of this is that faith will further condense towards Zhou Mengyao, making Zhou Mengyao more powerful. Given time, he may be able to break through the restrictions of Guanren.

If the two of them fell out over something again, Qi Xuansu would have no power to fight back. Qi Xuansu was a little helpless, but that was all he could do in a short period of time.

Soon, Qi Xuansu led his people into the pre-selected hiding place.

To ambush the enemy, terrain is the key, so Qi Xuansu chose a valley terrain that is located on the only road. There are slopes on both sides of the road, which is convenient for arranging archers to shoot. Then the others lay down in the ditches on both sides of the road, covered with Some camouflage made of vegetation.

The intention is that the troops can quickly merge from a concealed position, and rush forward at lightning speed to entangle the enemy before the official vehicle can react, so that the advantage of the cavalry cannot be brought into play.

Qi Xuansu and many infantrymen lay down and waited.

During this period of time, in addition to training troops, Qi Xuansu also asked Bai Zaibing to boil saltpeter on a large scale to make gunpowder.

Although the power of black powder is quite limited, it cannot be compared with the gunpowder used in Guanjitang. It must be used outside, that is, to make fireworks, but the quality is not enough. The quantity can be made up, as long as the quantity is large enough, it can also play a huge role.

Time was tight and the task was heavy, so we struggled to produce more than a hundred kilograms of black powder.

When it comes to the war in the New World, compared to the large army of Steam Gospel, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

But these officers and soldiers cannot be compared with Xidaomen's army, and these black gunpowder can also play a big role.

Qi Xuan's various elements are not common, and he uses them all in one breath, just as he must pass through.

About an hour later, the officers and soldiers appeared. At the front were the elite cavalry. They were covered in armor and could not be harmed by ordinary swords. Even without horses, if they charged into the crowd, they would be as good as ten.

Therefore, throughout the dynasties, concealing food secretly was a serious crime of rebellion, and those who rebelled were the first to seize the arsenal.

What followed were ordinary infantry, which looked uneven and dressed in different styles. Those who knew they were officers and soldiers, while those who didn't knew they thought they were bandits.

Because the road was slightly narrow, the formation of the army could not be fully spread out and moved very slowly.

Finally, when the elite cavalry in front reached their ambush position, Qi Xuansu personally detonated the buried gunpowder.

With a bang, seven or eight elite cavalrymen were blown to pieces. All kinds of broken limbs were mixed together, and blood rain fell from the sky.

This loud noise was the signal for battle, and three waves of sparse rain immediately fell on the high slope.

Then the camouflage on both sides was lifted, and the Yellow Turban Army with yellow scarves on their heads appeared, rushing out and fighting with the officers and soldiers.

The archers also put away their bows and arrows and began to join in the hand-to-hand combat.

The official car was suddenly ambushed. First there was a gunpowder explosion, then there was rain. The leader died suddenly. Many people were directly disgusted. Before they could react, they were chopped down to the ground by the rushing Yellow Coin Army.

Qi Xuansu naturally took the lead. He picked up a cavalry saber and killed three people in a row, making him unstoppable.

The ordinary Yellow Coin Army following him is here. Although he cannot be regarded as a professional driver, he is not here for the emperor or for the doctrine, but to protect his homeland and his wife, children and children. Driven by this most fundamental interest and emotion, Under the leadership of Qi Xuansu, he has a spirit of bloody courage, regardless of his own safety.

The clang of weapons clashing, the tearing of flesh and bones, the frequent screams of death, the roar of blood-red eyes, the sound of falling to the ground, the neighing of horses, and the sound of impact.

Various sounds intertwined and converged into the melody of war.
