Xu Yaqing's understanding of Liang Yue was still four years ago.
At that time, Liang Yue had just broken up with Li Zi, and was chased by the Ming army with no way to go to the sky or to the earth, like a bereaved dog.
If it weren't for her guidance, he raided the Hetao Plain thousands of miles away and captured the Chahar tribe of Mongolia, Liang Yue would have perished in the Ming army's encirclement and suppression.
As Liang Yue's savior, Xu Yaqing certainly has a superior mentality.
And when she first met Liang Yue, this guy was just a reckless bumpkin.
Liang Yue was able to grow up step by step, and Xu Yaqing believed that her support was indispensable.
To put it bluntly, in Xu Yaqing's eyes, Liang Yue was always just a loser who couldn't stand on the stage.
Xu Yaqing didn't know that people will grow. And the more cruel the environment you experience, the faster you grow.
After Liang Yue absorbed the Chahar tribe, he fought in the north and south for more than four years, defeated many powerful enemies, and gained a firm foothold step by step.
Nowadays, Liang Yue can stand up to Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others and form a league of his own.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a hero who affects the general trend of the world.
Liang Yue's subordinates now number one hundred thousand, all of whom are elite soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles.
Xu Yaqing herself has a weakness that has never been perfected.
Although she is extremely resourceful and ruthless, she can be regarded as a strange woman. But I have never gotten started with the way of battle formation.
In her eyes, the Persian Mingjiao are all highly skilled in martial arts, so their fighting ability must be extraordinary.
But personal bravery and the strength of the army are completely different things.
If the Persian Ming Cult really had extraordinary fighting power, how could they lose their hometown and be hunted down by the cannibals?
Xu Yaqing's attempt to use such power to plot against Liang Yue was precisely taking advantage of her own shortcomings and the enemy's strengths.
Originally, her idea was very good, she planned to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
Relying on his own high martial arts skills, there are so many masters who are proficient in assassination. As long as Liang Yue is killed, victory will be assured.
Seeing that Liang Yue only brought more than a hundred people to meet with her, Xu Yaqing felt that she was sure to win.
Little did she know that the number one hundred was exactly the boundary between personal bravery and military might.
If there is a duel between dozens of people, then the party with superior martial arts is likely to win. However, if it exceeds the size of a hundred people, and the strong soldiers on the battlefield form a rigorous battle formation, they can definitely fight against martial arts masters who are twice their own.
Xu Yaqing encountered such a dilemma.
When he first started, Liang Yue was in a hurry. But when Liang Yue's personal guards participated in the battle, those Persian Mingjiao masters were left vulnerable.
The three people who have always been by his side have completely learned the training method taught by the old man Huo Shan.
After being castrated, he specialized in practicing the gentle and vicious assassination technique.
If used against an unsuspecting enemy, it is likely to be fatal in one hit. But facing Liang Yue's complete battle formation, this kind of assassination was like a moth flying into a flame.
Liang Yue's personal guards rushed forward, with spears like a forest and thick shields like a wall. They were densely packed without any flaws.
Under the thrust of the spear, the three assassins jumped up and down, helpless.
Suddenly there was a scream of "Ah", and one of them had a spear pierced through his stomach.
The other two people had always lived and died together with him, as if they were one body, and they rushed forward resolutely, trying to save him.
However, the short knives in their hands were too weak when facing Zhang Yu's spear.
No matter how much he blocks, he cannot prevent the continuous attacks.
After a while, another person was shot in the thigh. He staggered and fell to the ground.
Just as he was about to get up, another iron spear came and pierced his shoulder. The arm that was supporting his body softened, and then he was nailed to the ground.
The remaining iron spears stabbed him continuously, pricking him into holes of flesh and blood, making him dead.
Xu Yaqing looked at Liang Yue's terrifying personal guards and felt chills all over her body. She whistled quickly to send some kind of signal.
Her men rushed over quickly and threw the lit barrels towards Liang Yue's personal guards.
Liang Yue's personal guards naturally knew that it contained gunpowder.
If he were a normal person, he would definitely run away in order to survive. But the rigorously trained guards knew very well that once they got out of the way, the gunpowder was likely to hurt Liang Yue.
Therefore, they advanced instead of retreating, and at the same time they kept waving their weapons, hoping to knock away the flying gunpowder barrels.
Some were indeed knocked back, but several still exploded.
A large number of Liang Yue's personal guards were killed and injured. The entire scene was filled with dust and smoke and smelled of flesh and blood, but those who were still alive were fearless and continued to attack.
Encountering such an opponent, Xu Yaqing was completely desperate.
She looked around and saw that the people of the Persian Ming Cult were being divided, surrounded and eaten by one complete and rigorous array after another. All resistance was so weak.
"Walk!"
Xu Yaqing also made a prompt decision.
Since something cannot be done, there is no need to continue to persist.
The surviving Persian Mingjiao, as well as Zhao Si and his men, all seemed to have been granted amnesty, and followed her figure and disappeared into the vast night.
"Don't chase poor bandits."
Liang Yue has grown into a qualified military general and is still able to remain calm despite encountering changes.
Under his order, the army stopped chasing and began to clean up the mess.
Although Liang Yue won a complete victory in this battle, more than 3,000 people were killed in the battle.
But compared with Xu Yaqing's injury, it is still better.
At least Liang Yue's vitality is still there.
"These demon cult monsters have been wiped out. When we fight again in the future, we don't have to worry."
Jiang Chaoyun's comforting words made the whole army feel relaxed.
After all, there is always a ticking time bomb around, which always makes people uneasy.
From now on, this army will be united and united.
"Brothers, there is news from the Central Plains. King Chuang has captured Henan, and even big cities like Luoyang and Kaifeng have fallen into King Chuang's hands. The Zhu family's empire is coming to an end. We are wandering outside. The days have come to an end. I have decided to attack eastward tomorrow, capture Lanzhou, and return to the Central Plains. What do you think?"
All the generals under his command were inspired, and no one disagreed.
Although the Western Region is good, it is not my hometown.
Accustomed to the desert wind and sand, everyone misses the green willows in their hometown.
And this time when he goes back, he will overthrow the Dog Emperor.
A bigger prospect lies before us. Even the Mongols in the army have been infected and are no longer afraid of the Central Plains.
Since everyone was united, Liang Yue did not delay.
After three days of rest and recuperation, the army marched eastward along the Huangshui River and rushed to the foot of Lanzhou City without any hindrance.
