Chapter 56 Ambush

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 cause 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 camp to protect themselves.

With the obstruction of the city wall, the government troops had to dismount and fight on foot, but if there was no city wall, the infantry could not fight the cavalry at all, and it would even be a one-sided massacre.

So there were many voices of opposition and doubt.

Qi Xuansu made the decision under pressure, and pushed the matter forward with the still fragile authority of the Taiping Sect. It is not an exaggeration to say that he acted on his own will.

If he won, those who opposed would naturally become Qi Xuansu's stepping stones, which further proved that Qi Xuansu had a precise vision and was a master of military tactics.

But if he lost, then Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao's missionary work would be halfway through.

The reason why Qi Xuansu dared to make such a decision 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 and vows.

Although this incense and vows were indeed insignificant for the huge size of the immortals, for them now, it was a long-awaited rain, and they could already do a lot of things.

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

In this way, winning a battle and performing a "miracle" on a larger scale will further consolidate the faith and gain more incense and vows, so that the snowball can be rolled bigger and bigger.

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

Although Qi Xuansu also wanted to practice a set of fighting methods of the driving duck formation and pass the hidden of the military god, but the time was too short, and Qi Xuansu also had only a half-understanding, so he couldn't do it at all. Now the most he can do is to line up and drive. When fighting, he can barely form a formation and advance or retreat according to the order.

Now all hope is on Zhou Mengyao, and Qi Xuansu only plays a supporting role.

The result is that faith will further gather to Zhou Mengyao, making Zhou Mengyao stronger. In time, he may be able to break through the restrictions of the prisoner.

If the two of them fall out again because of something, then Qi Xuansu will not have the slightest power to fight back. Qi Xuansu is a little helpless, but he can only do so in a short time.

Soon, Qi Xuansu led his men into the ambush site that had been selected in advance.

To ambush the enemy, terrain is the key, so Qi Xuansu chose a valley terrain located on the only way to pass. There were slopes on both sides of the road, which was convenient for archers to shoot. Then the others hid in the earth ditches on both sides of the road, covered with some camouflage made of grass and trees.

The intention was that the troops could be deployed quickly from the hidden location, rushing up and tangling with the enemy at a lightning speed before the official car could react, so that the advantage of the cavalry could not be brought into play.

Qi Xuansu and many infantrymen lay in wait.

During this period of time, in addition to training troops, Qi Xuansu also asked the Bai family to start boiling saltpeter on a large scale: to make gunpowder.

Although the power of black gunpowder is quite limited, it cannot be compared with the gunpowder used in Guanji Hall. If it is outside, it is used to make fireworks, but the quality is not enough, and the quantity can make up for it. As long as the quantity is large enough, it can also play a huge role.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. It took a lot of effort to make more than 100 kilograms of black gunpowder.

In the war of the New World, it is nothing compared to the large army of the Gospel of Steam.

But these government troops cannot be compared with the army of the West Gate, and these black gunpowder can also play a significant role.

Qi Xuansu was not ordinary, and used them all at once, and they were on the road that must be passed.

About an hour later, the government troops appeared. The elite cavalry in the front were wearing Shenwei, and ordinary swords could hardly hurt them. Even if they had no horses, they would kill into the crowd and fight ten people.

Therefore, in all dynasties, privately storing Shenwei was a serious crime of treason, and the rebels also captured the arsenal as soon as possible.

Following behind were ordinary infantry, which seemed uneven, with different clothes. Those who knew were government troops, and those who didn't know thought they were robbers.

Because the road was slightly narrow, the formation of the government troops could not be fully spread out and walked very slowly.

Finally, when the elite cavalry in front came to the pre-ambush position, Qi Xuansu personally detonated the buried gunpowder.

With a bang, seven or eight elite cavalrymen were blown to pieces, and all kinds of broken limbs and bloody bodies fell from the sky.

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

Then the disguises on both sides were lifted, and the Yellow Turban Army with yellow scarves on their heads appeared, rushing out and fighting with the government troops.

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

The official car was suddenly ambushed, first the gunpowder exploded, and then the rain, the leader died suddenly, and many people were directly hated. Before they could react, they were chopped to the ground by the Yellow Turban Army who rushed up.

Qi Xuansu naturally led the way, picked up a cavalry saber, killed three people in a row, and was unstoppable.

The ordinary yellow coin soldiers following him, although they could not be considered professional charioteers, were not fighting for the emperor or the doctrine, but to protect their homes and their wives and children. Driven by this most fundamental interest and emotion, they had a spirit of blood and courage. Under the leadership of Qi Xuansu, they fought bravely.

The clanging sound of weapons hitting each other, the tearing sound of flesh and bones being cut, the screams of dying, the roars of killing, the sounds of falling to the ground, the neighing of horses, and the sound of collisions.

All kinds of sounds intertwined and gathered into the melody of war.
