At this time, the two armies were more than one mile apart. In the middle of the two armies, not only Zhu Jun's arrows, but also the white-pole soldiers' arrows could not reach that far. It can be said that it was impossible to be attacked at that position. . Cao Wenzhao stood still in such a position, with both feet firmly on the ground, then raised his head and said: "I'm just standing like this, my feet don't move. Ma Xianglin, do you dare to come over and take the move?"
When Cao Wenzhao said these words, not to mention the Tujia people, even the people on Zhu Jun's side were shocked.
Xu Renjie was suddenly sweating profusely. He whispered to Wang Er and his wife behind him, "Isn't that right? Standing still and fighting Ma Xianglin? Thisisn't this nonsense? Is he so powerful?"
Wang Er shook his head: "If it's a horse fight, the three of us combined are no match for General Cao, but if it's an infantry fight, he's not much better than me. Fighting with Ma Xianglin on this rugged hillside, he If you can move your feet, you may be able to compete with Ma Xianglin, but if you stand still with your feet, you are seeking death."
In fact, Wang Er's view was exactly what Xu Renjie thought. Both of them believed that if Cao Wenzhao fought on foot, he would at most be a head-to-head match against Ma Xianglin, but he insisted on standing still with both feet. This isn't this going to look for smoke?
Xu Renjie and Wang were both a little worried and nervously paying attention to the situation in front of the battle. However, Cao Bianjiao, who was next to him, was not worried at all. He chuckled and said, "Since my uncle dares to challenge Ma Xianglin like this, he must have his own ideas. Everyone just watch the show."
Ma Xianglin's face turned red. He picked up the silver-plated gun, pointed it at Cao Wenzhao and said angrily: "Thief, you are too arrogant. How dare you say such big words? If you have the guts, just stand there and don't leave. I am now I'll come out and deal with you." After saying that, he shook off the lieutenants holding him and wanted to walk out of the formation.
The Tujia lieutenants were so anxious that they pounced on him again. One hugged his legs and the other hugged his waist. They held him tightly and said: "General you are a general. How can you go out and challenge others? We are in the Ming Dynasty. It¡¯s time to go to court. It¡¯s not the Three Kingdoms era. These days, we don¡¯t pay attention to generals fighting each other. And that man looks very powerful. If you, general, have something wrong with you, who will command us? "
They came to persuade me with good intentions. Ma Xianglin would be wrong. He said angrily: "What do you mean? He can defeat me even if he stands still? So I must not go?"
Several lieutenants were sweating profusely: "No I don't mean this by my subordinates"
Ma Xianglin was furious: "It's unreasonable, it's simply unreasonable. Everyone looks down on me, right? The enemy generals look down on me. I didn't expect that my Tujia soldiers also look down on me?"
Several lieutenants almost cried: "General, we really don't mean this."
Ma Xianglin summoned his strength and threw away the lieutenants holding him, and then walked out angrily. This time, the lieutenants no longer dared to drag him and hug him, so they had to let him go to Cao Wen. In front of the imperial edict.
The more Ma Xianglin walked forward, the clearer and clearer the killing aura he felt in Cao Wenzhao. That aura was just like the sense of heroism brought about by thousands of horses galloping on the Liaodong battlefield. He couldn't help but trembled in his heart, feeling quite close, but he quickly drove away this feeling, and then angrily said to Cao Wenzhao: "You let me have my feet, and I will let you have your feet Huh let's all stand still and not fight!"
After saying that, he walked to a place about seven or eight feet in front of Cao Wenzhao and stood firmly.
Both of them were holding guns. The spears were one foot and two feet long. The distance they were standing about seven or eight feet away was exactly the distance suitable for the two feet long spear. Ma Xianglin stood proudly, his feet motionless, and hummed: "You dare to look down on me and let you know how powerful I am."
At this time, the Tujia lieutenants couldn't help but wailed in their hearts, "Oh my God, general, if you just rush over and knock that man down, won't that be the end of it?" Why did you let him have his feet too?
But everyone on Zhu Jun's side was stunned, obviously not expecting Ma Xianglin to give in. Xu Renjie's eyes suddenly lit up. He turned his head and whispered to Wang Er: "No need to look, General Cao has won!"
Wang Er¡¯s brain is not as good as Xu Renjie¡¯s, and he still doesn¡¯t understand: ¡°Why? Aren¡¯t they all unable to move their feet? How can we be sure that General Cao has won?¡±
Xu Renjie laughed and said to Wang Er: "You are a military commander and I am a civil servant, but you are slower to react than me, a civil servant? Think about it, what is the most important thing to pay attention to when fighting with horses?"
Wang Er said: "Waist strength!"
Xu Renjie nodded: "Exactly, when a person is riding on a horse, his feet have nowhere to rely on, and his lower body is unstable. He relies on his waist strength to make moves and twists. Only when his waist strength reaches his arms can he perform powerful moves. . The feet have almost no other use except for clamping the horse's belly and crushing the horse's stirrups. Therefore, the general's kung fu is basically all about fighting a strong horse.Now, I don¡¯t need to say how strong General Cao¡¯s horse warfare is, you know it yourself. "
How could Wang Er not understand when he heard this? He suddenly said with joy: "I see, if both of them are standing still, their attacks will naturally rely on their waist strength. If Ma Xianglin competes with General Cao's waist strength, he is simply looking for death."
At this time, Cao Wenzhao and Ma Xianglin have already started to take action!
Ma Xianglin attacked first in anger. With a shake of his hands, the white spear was like a white dragon emerging from the water. It brushed the ground and landed in front of Cao Wenzhao. If an ordinary person wants to dodge such a quick shot, he usually has to step back or jump to the side. If you can't move your feet, it will be really difficult to dodge his quick shot.
"But Cao Wenzhao was very skilled in horse fighting. During horse fighting, avoiding the opponent's moves does not rely on the skills of his feet, but all depends on the reaction of his upper body. His waist twisted sideways, his lower body didn't move at all, but his upper body moved sideways.
"Huh?" Ma Xianglin stabbed the air with his spear, feeling slightly startled.
However, he saw that his twisted opponent could still fight back His body was obviously twisted in a weird way, but under such weird movements, he was still able to fight back. Zhang Er's spear brushed the ground and he counterattacked, hitting Ma Xianglin directly in the chest. belly.
It turns out that in a horse fight, two horses stagger each other. In that flash of lightning, the generals not only have to avoid the opponent's attacks, but they also have to fight back. Otherwise, after the two horses are separated, it will be impossible to fight back. Therefore, what the warrior on horseback is best at is to get out of the way when the opponent makes a move and fight back at the same time. The offensive and defensive movements must be perfectly integrated, and the coordination of the body must be perfectly controlled. Controlling the opponent in a short moment is the essence of horse fighting.
When Ma Xianglin stabbed him with a spear, it was for Cao Wenzhao. It's a two-horse crossover. In one move, he must use all his abilities in his life, otherwise he will miss the horse and turn around, and the opportunity will be lost.
The spear in his hand fluttered into flames. It covered all the vital points of Ma Xianglin's chest and abdomen. The tip of the spear was still shaking when it was thrust out. Ma Xianglin couldn't tell where he wanted to stab.
Ma Xianglin was so shocked that he almost jumped back to dodge, but he just had a thought. I thought that I must not move my feet. If I move, I will lose. Wouldn't it be a loss of face? But if you don't move your feet, how can you block this move?
His gun has been thrust out, his chest and abdomen are wide open, and he cannot move his legs. The situation is really terrible. What a good Ma Xianglin, he actually found a way in such an unfavorable situation. His body suddenly leaned back, his feet were still on the ground, but his upper body leaned back, and he didn't stop until the back of his head hit the ground. A beautiful On the Iron Banqiao, Cao Wenzhao's spear shadows all passed over him, and all of them were missed.
Because this shot was too dangerous to dodge, several shots almost missed Ma Xianglin's body. As long as he raised his head for a blink of an eye, several big holes would be stabbed in his chest.
This was a really good hiding, and the soldiers of both armies couldn't help but cheer.
But after the cheers, a strange look suddenly appeared on everyone¡¯s faces. It turned out that everyone found that Ma Xianglin couldn¡¯t get up
You must know that if a person assumes the iron bridge posture, his next action will almost certainly be to take advantage of the situation and kick forward, using the kick to block the opponent's movement to avoid the enemy's pursuit, and then use his back to hit the ground. The carp jumps up and up. This series of moves is almost a must-do for Tie Banqiao. If he doesn't do this, how can he get up from such an extreme action with a powerful enemy watching?
But if you do this, there is no doubt that Ma Xianglin's feet will leave the ground. Once his feet leave the ground, he loses. If he doesn't leave the ground, he can't jump. So what should he do?
If it were another person, maybe he would lift his feet off the ground and kick in a series, and then the carp would jump up. But Ma Xianglin is a proud man. He said he would let the other person's feet go, and he would not let his feet off the ground. But he couldn't think of a better way to get up. As a result, he was stunned and froze while maintaining the iron gun bridge posture.
By the time he reacted and was about to use his spear to push himself up, Cao Wenzhao's Zhang Er spear had already sunk down and hit Ma Xianglin in the abdomen. When doing the Iron Banqiao movement, the abdomen is the highest point, and the abdomen is also one of the softest parts of the human body. Cao Wenzhao's gun was extremely powerful, and he slapped Ma Xianglin's belly downwards, causing an immediate " "Peng" made a soft sound.
Ma Xianglin felt as if he had been hit in the abdomen by a sledgehammer. A huge force pushed him down, and his back finally fell to the ground. Before he could react, the tip of Cao Wenzhao's spear was already on the ground. Above his throat
"Don't move, you will die if you move!" Cao Wenzhao shouted in a low voice.
Ma Xianglin was stunned, the pain in his abdomenPain came through, there was a feeling of rocks on his back, and his head was a little dizzy. He understood that he had lost and he had lost extremely quickly. It was just a face-to-face effort, and he didn't even make two or three moves. However, the enemy's spear point was already at his throat.
"Thisimpossible" Ma Xianglin said angrily: "It's impossible for me to miss and be captured in two or three moves"
Cao Wenzhao chuckled and said: "Ma Xianglin, next time you go to the battlefield, don't fall for the enemy's provocation. I will give you your feet, and you will give me my feet? You don't even think about it, why should the enemy give up invincibly?" Your feetare just digging a hole, waiting for you to jump into it"
Ma Xianglin was furious: "Despicable thief, shameless person."
"Come on you can keep this until Liaodong and tell the Tatars. See if the moment before the Tatars want to kill you, are you afraid of you shouting despicable and shameless words?" Cao Wenzhao's spear tip did not leave Ma Xianglin's throat, but He raised his head and said to the five thousand white-pole soldiers behind him: "Make way, or kill him."
The white-pole soldiers were immediately in chaos. Seeing their young master being captured, several lieutenants were so regretful that their intestines turned green. The ordinary white-pole soldiers were even more panicked. Qin Liangyu was in the hearts of all Tujia people. That is the sacred and inviolable female war goddess, and Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin has an extremely high status in their hearts. He only needs one command, and the Tujia people will die for him without any regrets. But now, what should he do if his life falls into the hands of thieves?
Cao Wenzhao said in a deep voice: "Make way, otherwise I will kill him."
"No! Don't give way!" Ma Xianglin shouted: "Go back to Motian Ridge quickly. With your pace, it is impossible for Zhu Jun to catch up Pengba. The command is given to you You command on my behalf. Guard." Motianling"
Pengba is one of Ma Xianglin's lieutenants. At this time, he is standing at the front of the group of Tujia lieutenants. It seems that he is the second person besides Ma Xianglin. If he usually hears Ma Xianglin's orders. Just do it without thinking. But now I heard the spear on Ma Xianglin's neck. But he couldn't move.
"Go to Motian Ridge quickly, don't give way to the thieves." Ma Xianglin yelled.
Cao Wenzhao had a smile in his eyes and did not interrupt Ma Xianglin's words. In fact, he knew that the more times like this, the more Ma Xianglin should shut up. He yelled like this and showed that he wanted to sacrifice his life for righteousness, which would only make his men more reluctant to abandon him. If he said something about going to Motian Ridge, he would shut up immediately, and it might be more effective.
Sure enough, after hearing Ma Xianglin's roar, the deputy general named Pengba hesitated for a long time and sighed: "General, let's abandon Motian Ridge What can we achieve by fighting for the Han people? Your life has been sacrificed in vain. It didn't seem that there was any benefit At first Mrs. Fengyi led the troops to pursue the thirty-sixth battalion. She prepared all the food, grass and weapons by herself. The court didn't even give us a grain of rice. Mrs. Fengyi was trapped by the bandit army, and the court didn't do anything. Send reinforcements, sit back and watch your wife be wiped out, without even a decent pension and now you have to risk your life for this inexplicable court?"
When he said this, his meaning was already obvious. The Tujia people would rather sit back and watch the thieves cross the Yinping Ancient Road and enter the Chengdu Plain than see Ma Xianglin killed.
"What nonsense!" Ma Xianglin said angrily: "We Tujia people are also the people of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. How can we blame everything on the Han people? Stop talking nonsense here and disrupt the morale of our army. ¡¡±
When Peng Ba saw that the tip of Cao Wenzhao's spear was only a hair's length away from Ma Xianglin's throat, he felt a sudden surge in his heart and gave up on himself. He shouted loudly: "Brothers, you said you want to see the general die. Or do you think the Han court doesn¡¯t need help?¡±
Almost without thinking, the five thousand soldiers shouted at the same time: "The general cannot die! We will not help the court!"
Ma Xianglin was shocked when he heard the cry of five thousand soldiers. For a long time, the white-pole soldiers, led by Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin, fought in the north and south, and made many contributions to the Ming Dynasty. But in factthe only ones loyal to the court were their mother and son. In fact, hundreds of thousands of Tujia people They had no interest in the imperial court at all. The reason why they came out to fight bloody battles was just because they admired Qin Liangyu and his son. They only fought for Qin Liangyu and his son, not for any country at all
This issue has not been clarified before, but when Ma Xianglin's life was threatened, the attitude of the white-pole soldiers was immediately obvious. It doesn't matter what country you have, what country you have, or what court you have, all they care about is Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin!
Pemba shouted: "Get out of the way, let's get out of the way!"
The five thousand white soldiers began to retreat, slowly moving away from the hill, and had no intention of going to Motian Ridge to intercept them. However, they did not go far, and stood a hundred feet away, looking at Cao Cao helplessly.??Ma Xianglin at the tip of the imperial edict. From the look in his eyes, he clearly hoped that Cao Wenzhao would let Ma Xianglin go.
Cao Wenzhao laughed, moved the tip of the spear back a little, and called back. Several soldiers came up from behind and tied up Ma Xianglin. Cao Wenzhao then completely retracted the tip of the spear.
Seeing that the tip of the spear was away from Ma Xianglin's body, the soldiers in the distance all breathed a sigh of relief. Although he is still in the hands of the thief, it can at least be seen that the thief will not kill him immediately.
Cao Wenzhao said loudly to the deputy general named Peng Ba: "As long as you are obedient and don't cause trouble, I will not kill your General Ma. Do you understand?" When he spoke, there was a sense of righteousness in his voice. Although his face was covered, the righteousness in his voice made his words ring true.
After hearing this, Pengba actually felt that this rebel general seemed trustworthy, so he nodded: "Okay, we won't cause trouble for you, but we must follow you until you release General Ma before we can leave."
Cao Wenzhao nodded and ignored the Tujia soldiers. He smiled softly at Ma Xianglin and said, "Ma Xianglin, now you have to be a guest in my military camp for a while."
Ma Xianglin snorted angrily: "If you are a prisoner, just be a prisoner. Why pretend to be a guest?"
Cao Wenzhao blinked: "If you are a prisoner, you will be locked in a cell, eat leftovers, and be beaten! It is better to be a guest, with wine to drink and good food to eat I think you still choose to be a guest. The customers are better.¡±
Ma Xianglin thought Cao Wenzhao was playing tricks on him, so he simply kept silent. He just thought: When my mother comes, find some way to rescue me, and then I will settle the account with you.
Cao Wenzhao knew that this guy had a bad temper, so he stopped teasing him, and immediately escorted Ma Xianglin back to the Zhu army. Eight thousand Zhu Jun began to move towards the Yinping Ancient Road. Soon, they climbed over the Motian Ridge and headed towards Mianyang City in the south Five thousand white pole soldiers, led by Pengba, followed like Zhu Jun's little tail. Behind him, he was looking forward pitifully to when the rebel army would release Ma Xianglin.
