Chapter 178: The Golden Gunner Breaks through to Capture the Flag (1)
Shi Qian pretended to have lost his legs and limped around, pretending to be presentable. Xu Ning didn't feel suspicious when he saw him. On the contrary, because of his inconvenience, he only had 5 out of 10 points to be wary of him. , the three of them rested for the night in a ruined temple, and got up early the next day to continue their journey. Shi Qian bought wine and meat along the way, and walked for another day. On the second day, Xu Ning became anxious on the road, wondering what happened. There was no armor. As he was walking, he saw three or four horses pulling out an empty cart on the road. There was a driver sitting in front and a guest sitting beside him. They looked at Tang Long and immediately called him to stop the cart. , come down and bow your head.
When Tang Long saw the visitor, he pretended to wake up and asked, "Why are you here, brother?"
The man replied: "I have done business in Zhengzhou and am going back to Tai'an Prefecture."
Tang Long said: "It just so happens that the three of me are also going to Tai'an Prefecture for a trip. Could you please give me a ride?"
The man smiled and said: "Not to mention three people getting on the bus, even if there are more, we don't care,"
Tang Long was overjoyed and introduced the man to meet Xu Ning.
Xu Ning asked: "Who is this person?"
Tang Long responded and said: "I burned incense in Tai'an Prefecture last year and found out that this brother, whose surname is Li and whose name is Rong, is a loyal man."
Xu Ning said: "In this case, this guy is lame and can't go far, why don't we all get in the car and go together." Then he asked the driver to drive forward quickly. The four people sat in the car. Xu Ning was a little impatient. I stayed there for several days. Thinking about that suit of armor, my heart became increasingly empty. I couldn't help but ask Shi Qian: "Zhang Yi, please tell me the name of that rich man."
Shi Qian tried to evade it again and again, but had no choice. Finally, Nuonuo came forward and said, "He is a famous official from Guo."
Xu Ning nodded after hearing this, turned to Li Rong and asked, "Brother, do you have this Guo Daguan in Tai'an Prefecture?"
Li Rong replied: "My official Guo from Honshu is a wealthy man. He likes to meet masters in the world. He often associates with officials and has many idle people under his family."
After hearing this, Xu Ning thought to himself: "Since the Lord is here, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape from the temple." Xu Ning did not want others to know about his private matter of losing his armor, so he said it immediately and never mentioned it again, and that Li Rong didn't ask any further questions and started talking about gun and stick skills along the way. He drank a few songs and unknowingly another day passed.
Seeing that Jingzhao Mansion was getting closer and closer, Li Rong asked the driver to get a gourd to sell some wine and buy some meat. He thought that everyone would have three cups of wine together in the car. Li Rong scooped out a cup. When the ladle came, Xu Ning was invited first. Xu Ning was very thirsty. He had been running around for the past few days and had not been able to drink in peace for many times. He took it and drank it all in one gulp.
After Xu Ning finished drinking, Li Rong took the gourd and poured the wine. The driver pretended to be careless and spilled all the gourd wine on the ground. Li Rong then shouted to the driver to buy more. Everyone drank together and walked like this for an hour. Xu Ning sat in the car and slowly lowered his head. Little by little, he slowly closed his eyes, salivating at the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't live anymore. After a while, as the car bumped and fell to the ground, Li Rong turned around and saw that Xu Ning had fallen. He whipped up his horse whip and galloped towards Xianyang. This Li Rong was Who was none other than Lian Yi from the Iron-Blooded Assassination Group? Lian Yi drove the carriage all the way and arrived in Xianyang City in just over an hour.
At this time, Shi Jin, Wu Yong and others were already waiting at the city gate. Seeing the carriages and horses coming, they quickly opened the door and welcomed them in.
The carriage stopped all the way in front of the Juyi Hall, and everyone helped Xu Ning out of the carriage. Li Baicao, who was accompanying the army, took out the antidote and drank it with him. In just one stick of incense, all Xu Ning's anesthetic was dispersed and slowed down. Wake up slowly.
Xu Ning slowly opened his eyes, and saw a circle of strangers surrounding him with great concern. His eyes couldn't help but enlarge in vain, and he looked around. It turned out that he was not on a carriage. How did he get here? Huo Di sat up immediately, looking at how powerful everyone around him was. He couldn't help being surprised in his heart. Fortunately, he saw Tang Long among the crowd at a glance. He reluctantly stood up and asked: "Brother, what's going on?" Come back here,,"
"This is Xianyang, and this is Marshal Green Forest, the Nine-Patterned Dragon Shi Jin who caused a sensation in the world," Tang Long said.
When Xu Ning heard this, he was even more surprised. He looked up and down at Shi Jin who was standing in front of him. He was really good-looking. Not to mention that people in the world and even the imperial court often heard Shi Jin's name. Naturally, the imperial court They talk about how cruel Shi Jin is, and most of the people in the world spread the word about Shi Jin. Xu Ning is a person who has his feet in the green forest of the government, so he naturally knows how to objectively comment on a person, especially someone as great as Shi Jin. Xu Ning was very embarrassed when he saw Shi Jin and bowed to him. He just asked Tang Long: "Brother, how did you earn me to come here?"
Tang Long said: "Brother, listen to me: This time I heard that Marshal Shi was recruiting heroes from all over the world, and he already had his heart set on it. Just when the Marshal conquered Xianyang, he came to join him. Now Chang'an is just around the corner, and the Marshal wanted to make a move in one fell swoop. The enemy was captured, but Hu Yanzhuo used the "Serial Armored Horse" to rush into the formation. There was no way to break it. It was the younger brother who presented this "Hook and Sickle Spear Technique". Only the older brother could do it. This is why he decided on this plan: move first when the time is wrong. I came here to steal your armor and teach my younger brother to earn his elder brother's fortune. Later, he made Lian Yi pretend to be Li Rong. When he was crossing the mountain, he was given Mongolian sweat medicine. He invited your elder brother to come to the green forest and take a seat. Together we can conquer the world and be granted the title of marquis and prime minister."
When Xu Ning heard this, he gritted his teeth and pointed at Tang Long. He was angry and complained: "I didn't expect that it was my brother who ruined me."
Shi Jin held the cup and stepped forward to accompany him and said: "Shi Jin dared not to be greedy for money and to kill, but to do unkind and unjust things. However, he was forced to do so by the Song Dynasty. Only then did our brothers rise up, eradicate the evil together, and give the people a clear sky and hope. Observe and pity this true feeling, and together we can do justice for heaven."
Xie Qianqiu also came forward at this time and said: "General Xu Ning, there is a saying that those who understand the current affairs are heroes. The world has changed and the Song Dynasty has exhausted its spirit. Why bother to work for those powerful people who are corrupt and pervert the law? Although I am the defeated army "But now I have figured it out. If you don't want to, go to the city tomorrow and listen to what the people have to say. By then, you will definitely change your mind."
Xu Ning knew that Xie Qianqiu was the guard sent to Xiagui City some time ago, and now he has also surrendered to Lulin. His words made Xu Ning a little excited.
When Lin Chong saw that Xu Ning was silent, he immediately came forward to talk with him and said: "My younger brother is here too, brother, don't push me away."
Xu Ning saw that this man was the instructor of the 180,000 Imperial Guards back then. When he saw this old friend, he immediately sighed, and Xu Ning's return was finalized.
Xu Ning immediately prostrated himself in front of Shi Jin and said: "Since the generals said this, Xiao Ke must also fight to the death." After saying this, Shi Jin helped Xu Ning up and asked him to take a seat. Xu Ning thanked him and said: " If I stay here, the government will definitely notice it, but my wife and children are all in Bianliang..."
"It's okay, General Xu, don't worry. These things are all taken care of by Xiao Ke. Baojuan is also on the way at the moment, but just a step behind the general. It's almost time to arrive now, and it won't be tonight at the latest. They will definitely get together here. ," Shi Jin said.
After hearing this, Xu Ning fell to the ground and kowtowed again. Shi Jin hurriedly helped him up. At this time, the sergeant outside reported: "The brothers who went to Tokyo are all back."
"Oh," Shi Jin was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately came out with everyone to greet him. Kui Er brought everyone back. Peng Wei and Ling Zhen's children were brought back safely. Xu Ning's children also arrived safely. The three families were reunited. In one place, I was so happy. In addition, Kui Er bought five carts of fireworks and gunpowder in Bianliang, Tokyo, and brought them here. Together with the artillery and other necessary equipment, they were delivered to Lingzhen.
Seeing that his wife had arrived safely, Xu Ning felt more at ease. Xu Ning asked: "The government didn't make things difficult for you, right? In those days, I was worried about that person..."
The wife replied: "Since you went to look for that person, the officials couldn't call him, so I used some gold and silver jewelry to shirk the fact that you were sick in bed, so the officers and soldiers didn't come to call you. Suddenly I saw this brother coming and said: 'The officer's armor has been captured, but he contracted an illness on the road and died in the inn. He asked his sister-in-law and his children to come and see him. 'Thus I was able to get into the car. I didn't know the road, and the meandering road turned out to be so beautiful. Come here,"
Xu Ning listened and comforted his wife. Shi Jin, Wu Yong and others came to talk to Xu Ning and arranged a banquet to celebrate. On the one hand, they selected young and strong men to learn how to use the hook, sickle and spear, and on the other hand, they arranged for everyone to be there. Live in this city.
On the second day, all the leaders gathered together to discuss how to break the chain of horse armies. At this time, Lei Heng supervised the production of hook and sickle spears. Shi Jin, Wu Yong and others asked Xu Ning to teach the army Jian how to use hook and sickle spears.
Xu Ning said: "I will show off this 'serial armored horse' to my heart's content now, train the army leaders, and select strong men." All the leaders were watching Xu Ning's army selection in the Juyi Hall, talking about the hook, sickle, and spear skills.
In just half a day, more than 3,000 people were selected from among the three armies. After the army selection was completed, Xu Ning personally stepped down from the general station, picked up a hook and sickle and used it himself. Everyone saw that Cheers.
After Xu Ning used it once, he taught the soldiers: "Whenever you use such a weapon immediately, you must use your waist to lift the hook and sickle spear, go up to the middle seven roads, use three hooks and four strokes, one prick at a time. There are nine changes in total. If you use the hook, sickle and spear on foot, it is most useful. First, let people divide it into four groups to swing open the door; make one change in twelve steps; turn the mortar in sixteen steps, divide the hook and sickle into twenty-four Steps, move up and down, hook to the east and move to the west; thirty-six steps, cover the whole body, fight with the strong, this is the 'hook, sickle, and spear method'," Xu Ning said while demonstrating, playing with the hook, sickle, and spear He was so miraculous, but he was afraid that the soldiers didn't understand the essentials, so he said: "There are four formulas for the hook-and-scythe spear technique. You all need to remember them. Four strokes and three hooks lead to seven roads. There are nine changes in total to combine with the magic machine. Twenty-four steps forward and backward. , "One and Sixteen Big Turns," Xu Ning taught and performed the Zhengfa all the way, and the leaders of the crowd watched.
When all the soldiers saw Xu Ning's hook-and-scythe spear technique, they all liked it very much. From that day on, they trained the selected elite and strong men at dawn and night. Pulling the legs, this is the following three secret methods.
In less than half a month, Xu Ning had 3,000 horsemen and 2,000 infantrymen, each of them a spearman. Song Jiang and other leaders were overjoyed when they saw this, and prepared to defeat the enemy.
