"Hmph, Saint Xu, you don't want to lose all your family wealth, right?"
All things are born, two things overcome one thing.
Xu Yaqing has always been invincible in the world. As long as I met two people, there was nothing I could do.
One of them is Zuo Mengeng.
It was an all-round crushing.
In terms of martial arts, strategy, and strength, there is no aspect that Xu Yaqing can beat.
As a result, he was beaten and had no fixed place to live.
And the other one is Liang Yue.
This is a stone that is invulnerable to all poisons.
Despite Xu Yaqing's unparalleled strategy, Liang Yue felt like the breeze was blowing over the hills.
It's the same now.
Liang Yue exposed Xu Yaqing's true identity with just one sentence.
The last bit of White Lotus Sect's power is here, and it absolutely cannot afford to lose it.
Even if he didn't plead, Xu Yaqing would still help.
"How can there be such a stubborn person like you in the world? Which of those stinky men wouldn't make me obey them?"
Liang Yue was unmoved.
"Where's the way out?"
Xu Yaqing had no choice but to lean into his ear and speak in detail.
Liang Yue, who did not change his color despite the collapse of Mount Tai, couldn't help but be surprised after hearing these words.
"With one careless move, all these brothers will die without a burial place."
Xu Yaqing sneered.
"You just stay here, why don't you die without a burial? What about General Liang, risk your life and survive? Do you dare... or don't you dare?"
Liang Yue was speechless for a moment, and his tightly clenched fists showed that he was already entangled.
Itakura Shigemasa finally arrived on Kyushu Island.
He was very happy to see that the various lords did not send troops.
This means that the credit for quelling the Shimabara Rebellion will be solely his.
He simply gave orders to various daimyo to stay in their homeland without going to war.
All the famous people were shocked.
Isn't this person a jerk?
So all the famous people chuckled and opened their eyes wide, waiting to see his joke.
Itakura Shigemasa did not feel that his actions were arrogant.
Those famous Westerners who were watching the excitement were treated as spectators by him.
He decided to put on a good show.
On the eighth day of October, he led his army to Aiye.
The Shimabara Rebel Army, under the command of Amakusa Tokisada, has built field fortifications here.
The Satsuma domain's navy suffered heavy losses and was unable to be used for much purpose.
The Murakami navy belonging to the Maori family has long since disintegrated, and the shogunate cannot trust the Maori family even more.
Therefore, Itakura Shigemasa could only attack the Shimabara Peninsula by land via Aino.
This long and narrow terrain has become a key point of contention between the two sides.
"Muskets and artillery must not be used. They must wait until the critical moment to achieve miraculous effects."
Yuan Shengsheng formulated a strategy for the Shimabara rebels.
The weapons aided by Xia Guo could not be used at the beginning, and the Shimabara rebel army could only use primitive weapons to fight against the shogunate army.
Although fighting like this will cause heavy losses, it will also make Itakura Shigemasa underestimate the enemy.
When the critical moment comes, these important weapons may be used to decide the outcome in a single battle.
Itakura Shigemasa didn't know his sinister intentions, so he started a hasty attack the same day he led his army to arrive.
The fortifications of the Shimabara Rebel Army have been built for a long time and are very strong. Although there was no support from guns and artillery, the troops sent by the shogunate only had iron cannons, and without the collapse of the country, they were also helpless against such strong fortifications.
The Shimabara rebel army also equipped the weapons and armor captured by the Karatsu clan, so the difference in armament from the shogunate army was not very big.
Relying on the complete fortifications and comparable armaments, the Shimabara rebel army and the shogunate army were inseparable.
For a month, the shogunate's army was unable to move forward.
"Have you found no trace of Thief Liang yet?"
Snowflakes began to fall, and the world was filled with grayness, just like Hong Chengchou's mood.
Although under his command, Li Zicheng was defeated, and the government and the public were even more excited.
Everyone believed that the extermination of the bandits was almost successful.
Only Hong Chengchou remained depressed.
Even if accurate information is obtained, Li Zicheng and General Manager Qi of the Sixth Team have already moved south into Sichuan, which means that the official army's encirclement plan has officially taken effect.
But Hong Chengchou always looked behind him.
Just because he knew that Liang Yue must be hiding in the mountains behind him.
Although Liang Yue could not compare with Li Zicheng in terms of fame and strength, after the confrontation, Hong Chengchou deeply understood that this was a very difficult enemy.
If he runs away this time, he might become a tiger.
Where did Liang Yue go?
The heavy snow left him with nowhere to turn.
If he knew where Liang Yue was now, he would probably have trouble sleeping and eating.
The heavy snow falling in the sky blocked the view well.
The biting cold caused even the most loyal soldiers to abandon their posts.
Everything is so fragile.
Liang Yue led his troops and quietly appeared outside the city of Ningxia Wei under such circumstances.
No one thought that he would dare to come here.
As one of the Nine Borders of the Ming Dynasty, it has always been a place where rogue bandits stay away.
No matter how stupid they are, they still know how powerful the Ming army in Jiubian is, and they cannot challenge it.
But now, Liang Yue's target is Ningxia Wei.
Taking advantage of the extremely cold weather and the freezing of the Yellow River, Liang Yue led his troops to climb the ice and sleep in the snow, walked out of the vast mountains, and suddenly appeared in Ningxia Wei.
The reason why he dared to come was because Xu Yaqing provided him with detailed information.
This one of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty is now extremely empty, and most of the troops have been dispatched south by Hong Chengchou to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng.
Now there are only less than 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, and there is no defense at all.
This is his chance.
This is also true.
Amidst the roar of artillery, the city gate of Ningxia Guard quickly turned into pieces. Liang Yue took the lead, waving his sword and leading his troops into the city.
The unprepared Ningxia guards were quickly slaughtered, and all kinds of supplies and food were cheap for the peasant army.
The peasant army, which had been starving for more than two months, finally had enough to eat and put on thick winter clothes. Even the horses became fat and strong.
In just three days, this exiled army came back to life.
"Brother, we have to leave quickly before the officers and soldiers come back to their senses. As long as we meet up with the other leaders, we won't be afraid."
tomato
Jiang Chaoyun's suggestion was rejected by Liang Yue.
His gaze was firm.
"No, let's go north."
Jiang Chaoyun was shocked.
"Going north? Then we will leave the border fortress and reach the territory of the Mongols."
Liang Yue was so proud that he laughed like a tiger.
"The Mongols are allowed to go to our Han territory to burn, kill and loot. Why can't we Han people go to their territory to show off their power?"
"Let everyone get ready, let's set off today."
