Chapter 2568: The Gui scroll is shot and broken!

Chapter 2568 Gui Zi Juan sniper kill, broken!

"Secure Gaoyang first. As long as Gaoyang is blocked, Anzhou and Renqiu will become isolated islands. Anzhou can still receive support from the rebels from Xiong County to the east, but what about Renqiu?"

Feng Ziying began to describe her intentions after the introduction by her staff.

"Besiege Renqiu and completely eliminate Wang Haoyi's foothold in Hejian Prefecture. I asked Hejian Prefecture to send troops to respond, but this is not enough. Mi Heng will not reinforce Renqiu, but on Anzhou, I It is estimated that Zhou Yin must go to reinforce Anzhou. This is the best. We can encircle the point to mobilize reinforcements, ambush Zhou Yin's reinforcements outside Anzhou City, and after defeating the reinforcements, completely eliminate Anzhou, and then regain Xiongxian. "

The generals all looked at the sand table, silently thinking about how to fight this battle if they were themselves.

The number of the three rebel armies is not small, with a total of more than 40,000 and close to 50,000. It is not impossible to completely annihilate them, but the key is how to win them in the shortest time.

The Governor issued a military order, and the Battle of Laishui was not considered at all. The battle to annihilate the rebel forces in the east was the real first battle.

"My lord, I plan to attack on both fronts." Ma Chengxun groped his chin, his eyes dark, "But my lord, it is easy to defeat Renqiu, but it is not easy to capture Anzhou. Although Mi Heng's rebel army is large in number, But the combat effectiveness is average, but Zhou Yin’s rebel army is different..."

 “What’s the difference?” Feng Ziying asked calmly.

"Does Your Excellency know the origin of Zhou Yin?" Ma Chengxun obviously also put in a lot of effort.

I originally thought that being transferred back to the capital from the Xuanfu General Army would look glamorous, but for people who have been fighting in border towns for a long time, this is a bit boring.

 The general of the fifth military camp is something that people want, but it would be too boring to be trapped in the capital city for the rest of his life. Ma Chengxun didn't like this kind of life.

“It seems like he was born as a deserter?” Feng Ziying thought for a moment before hesitatingly said.

"It's not a deserted soldier, but a deserted official." Ma Chengxun chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, he is still an acquaintance of the general."

What Ma Chengxun said aroused everyone's interest. Even Feng Ziying became interested, "Chengxun, tell me, what's going on?"

"It's a long story. I have to say that Zhou Yin is also a child of the Wu family, but his father was a minor official. In my impression, he should be a member of the Baihu family. He practiced martial arts since he was a child and was familiar with military books. In the 29th year of Yuanxi, he participated in the In the martial arts examination, he passed the martial arts examination in Xuanfu Town. If it weren’t for something fishy, ​​he would have been the first in Xuanfu Town,..."

"In the 30th year of Yuanxi, the Ministry of War held a nine-sided competition. He represented Xuanfu Town in the battle. He must have been a hundred households at that time. He shot an arrow in the wind and shook the willow, which shocked the audience. Later, he defeated thirteen people in a row with a sword. Man, everyone thought that if he was not the number one scholar in martial arts, he should be ranked second in the martial arts rankings or the best in martial arts. However, he disappeared quietly later. Everyone was surprised, but the Ministry of War did not have an explanation. In addition, there were indeed many talented people in that competition. , the general also gave it a try at the end of that year. I am ashamed to say that he ranked 46th among the nine-sided army..."

Having said that, Ma Kongying, You Shiwei, Ma Jinbao, and Tu Wenxiu all know that this is not simple.

This is a pure competition of martial arts, without any tricks, and just because you are strong in martial arts, it does not necessarily mean you are strong in combat, nor does it necessarily mean you are a good commander, so there is no comparison.

 But as a martial artist, strong martial arts skills are definitely worthy of admiration.

Tu Wenxiu grinned, "I didn't expect Mr. Ma to also participate in the Nine-Border Contest that year. I also went there that year, representing Ningxia Town. I was full of confidence when I went, thinking that I would win no matter what." I made a top ten for fun, but ended up ranking ninety-nine. Dong Yang also went there. He was so conceited about his power that he told me that he couldn't escape the top three, but he ended up ranking eighteen..."

More than twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye. At the time, these people were only in their teens and 20s, but now they are all over middle age, and they are all sad.

"Later I heard that Zhou Yin's mother had always believed in the Wenxiang Sect, so she had been affected since she was a child. The army was aware of it, and later they deliberately restrained her. Later, she became more and more angry, and naturally refused to obey the discipline, and eventually became a fugitive. He was wanted for several years, but later on the White Lotus Sect became more and more widespread, and no one pursued the matter. If Zhou Yin hadn't been specifically mentioned today, and I asked about his place of origin, I wouldn't be sure. "

“How is this person’s tactical command ability?” Feng Ziying asked.

Ma Chengxun shook his head, "I don't know. He has been running away for more than ten years. He has been wandering around, and when he escaped, he was not even there. Maybe he has not given up his martial arts, but when it comes to command and tactics, my subordinates think that That’s not necessarily the case. Of course, this is just my personal opinion and has no basis.”

Ma Chengxun’s words are quite pertinent.

 You may be able to stand out in the White Lotus Sect by relying on martial arts, but commanding the army to organize marches and fights is another matter, and there is no way to judge this.

"If this is the case, it should not be underestimated. The White Lotus Sect itself has many deserters from our Nine-Border Army. When I was still a co-president in Yongping Mansion, I checked it out. Shiwei, at that time, was Shi Gong. The commander-in-chief arranged for Shi Lu to assist me in the investigation. In my impression, Panguanying, Jianchang Camp, Taitou Camp, Xuliu Camp and several camps around Shimen Village were all investigated, and many escaped. Later, when I was in Fengrun, If he was assassinated by the river, he should have something to do with these deserters."

Feng Ziying continued: "So many deserters entered the White Lotus Sect. This is also the responsibility of the imperial court. After this war, the imperial court should also take good care of education and laws to prevent such sects from breeding in the future. Soil."

Feng Ziying then turned to Wang Wenyan and asked, "Wenyan, what are the actions of the Ministry of Punishment?"

“The news came from over there, we have already started to act urgently, but we are eager to kill with one strike, so it will take some time, so we have to wait for two days.”

Wang Wenyan’s answer was confusing and the others couldn’t understand it, but Feng Ziying didn’t explain it either. There was no point in having too many people know about this kind of thing, so we just wanted the effect.

 Renqiu.

Tiedengganzhuang next to Juli Lake.

Juli Lake is actually an overflow of Wuguandian Lake. Whenever the water rises in Wuguan Lake, it will overflow and become Juli Lake along the second stream ten miles to the northeast. It is said that there are dry land golden carp in this place. In the Tang Dynasty, Some farmers dug out the ground and presented it to the court.

Bai Tai leaned firmly on the tree trunk, but his eyes were fixed on the road beside the grove, chewing grass roots in his mouth.

 Chew it very carefully and slowly, as if you want to thoroughly taste the taste of the grass roots.

 “Are you sure you have been in Zhuangzi for two hours?”

"Sure." The man squatting under the tree replied firmly: "Liao Xiaoer has been following him pretending to be a salesman since yesterday. He entered the village in the morning. If it weren't for the news from the line, I really wouldn't know that this guy is still a filial son. Also afraid of death, leaving the city in the middle of the night, what ordinary people can imagine?"

"Xiaoer, please don't let me know, right?" Bai Tai took a deep breath and touched the big bow on his back.

"Don't worry, I'm already old enough to do this kind of thing. Besides, the waiter is from Gaoyang and has a similar accent. He has been here many times, but this is the first time I've been back to Tiedengganzhuang. What's wrong? He sent a message back. , the black head is watching at the entrance of the village, and he will send signals."

I haven't had the task for three years, but this time it was Bai Lian taught.

It’s not surprising that after all the troubles, the court was overwhelmed, so naturally all kinds of methods were used.

But even if this guy is shot and killed by himself, so what?

It is impossible for a team of more than 3,000 people to disperse like this, but considering that he still has several brothers, it is estimated that there will be a fight over who will be the leader. Maybe this is the purpose of the court?

 Bai Tai didn't know how many of these people who had already lived in seclusion were used by the court this time, but he knew that two of his acquaintances and old friends had been recruited, and it seemed that the move would be big.

Everyone has different mission goals, and he doesn't ask. This is the rule, even if everyone is an official in the Ministry of Punishment.

 He is good at using arrows, another acquaintance is good at using poison in disguise, and another one loves to set up traps.

 Each one has his or her own abilities and chooses different scenes. Everyone has his or her own way.

 The sky has brightened up, and it gets bright very early in this season.

"Brother Tai, the black hair signal has come out. It should have come out from Zhuangnan. As expected." The man under the tree was watching excitedly with a telescope: "This thing is really powerful, it looks like It's the same as before, I don't know if this thing is broken, will the doctor skin us?"

Bai Tai ignored the nonsense of the boy under the tree. At this time, he had mobilized all his energy and energy. He stretched his arms lightly, crossed his legs firmly on the trunk and branches, looked like a falcon, and motionlessly lowered his head eighty steps in front of him. On the way.

Soon a few riders appeared at the corner of the road, kicking up yellow dust in the sky at a very fast speed.

 At this time, Bai Tai no longer had any distracting thoughts in his heart, and he had entered the stage where he had arrows but no self.

When the three knights passed by, Bai Tai ignored them. Although he could shoot seven arrows in a few breaths, which was his limit, it was meaningless to use them on these people. He only had one target.

There are seven or eight riders in the middle with different speeds, and a burly man in a yellow-brown smock is looming among them.

 According to the inside information that came out, this is the target.

Bai Tai's eyes were calm, his body was leaning against the tree trunk, and the big bow in his hand moved slightly along the target.

 Several other riders who were moving quickly and slowly seriously interfered with his aim, but he was not in a hurry. As long as he did not get the news and specifically targeted him, there would always be a chance, so he was not worried.

 A group of more than ten riders quickly passed the best shooting section. The observation posts under the trees were a little anxious, but they did not dare to say anything for fear of affecting Brother Tai's performance.

Having followed Brother Tai on missions for so many years, Brother Tai has never failed. Although he was anxious, he never said much.

Until the cavalry was about to disappear into the yellow dust, a slight turn revealed a gap. Bai Tai steadily tightened the string and stretched his bow, "Boom!"

On the seventh day of September, Zhao Gongquan, the lampmaster of the White Lotus Sect, was shot and killed five miles outside Tiedengganzhuang in Kulidian.

On the eighth day of September, two sworn brothers of Zhao Gongquan fought for the leadership of the rebel army. Before Wang Haoyi had time to mediate, on September 12th, You Shiwei's troops in Ji Town and Tu Wenxiu's Shenji Battalion in Beijing led their troops to storm Renqiu.

On September 14th, under Ren Qiu, he killed more than 2,700 rebels and surrendered the rest.
