From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1051

"Wait a little longer! Wait a little longer! Wait for my order before you act!"

Zhang Fei's voice was very low, but he believed that the martial arts masters around him could hear it.

Seeing that hundreds of cavalrymen were approaching.

Zhang Fei took a deep breath and slowly raised his musket.

He observed patiently, and then suddenly shouted: "Fire!"

The moment the voice was shouted, dense gunshots were heard. In the moment when the cavalry was in a panic, some people were shot and fell.

They roared and made ferocious sounds, and quickly identified the enemy in the woods.

"Forward! Forward!"

They didn't know the number of the enemy, and it was too dark, so they didn't dare to chase and fight, but rushed straight forward.

But as Guan Lu's order was issued, several martial arts masters who had been ambushed at the back of the road pulled up the trip rope, and as the four or five horses in front fell, the back was in chaos.

"Reload! Another shot!"

This is the advantage of the flintlock musket. After being proficient in operation, it only takes ten seconds to fire a shot.

As the second bullet was fired, a large number of people fell on the other side, and the formation was completely messed up.

"Kill! Kill these white pigs!"

Zhang Fei shouted loudly and rushed out on horseback first. Other people in the martial arts world quickly followed. They did not use muskets anymore, because they were close and did not need inefficient muskets.

Darts, silver needles and other hidden weapons were all used. Each of them was poisoned. They washed it first as if it was free, and then carried various weapons for close combat.

But the four hundred cavalrymen were not vegetarians. A wave of surprise attacks killed hundreds of them. The rest of them quickly stabilized and began to organize a counterattack.

Their muskets were lit and the first round of firing began. Since Zhang Fei and his men were well prepared and took the initiative to kill in, they did not achieve any good results.

On the contrary, the time when the fire line was lit gave the martial arts masters an opportunity.

"Xiao Xu! Watch out!"

A white package was thrown towards the enemy formation, and the young archer shouted: "No problem!"

He raised his arrow and shot, and the package was directly shot and the dense white powder was scattered.

"Fuck! You are still carrying lime? What a beast!"

While speaking, the other old man also grabbed a handful of lime from his arms and threw it forward.

Ordinary people would certainly not have any good effect by doing this, but these martial arts masters have good internal strength, and the lime is spilt out, and the internal strength is surging, blowing the lime over like the wind.

Various dirty tricks emerge in an endless stream, and when the martial arts masters do not follow the moral principles of martial arts, they are like fish in water, beating a group of elite cavalrymen and unable to react.

But these were several hundred elite cavalrymen, and the Jianghu masters were fewer in number. Soon, the remaining cavalrymen organized an offensive. Their formation was well coordinated, and they attacked the Jianghu masters one after another. These masters could not bear it for a while, and soon fell in a pile.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Zhang Fei hurriedly called a halt, and everyone retreated to the woods.

The cavalry of the Tsarist Empire saw the dark woods and did not dare to chase them. They went straight to the southwest and ran away in a flash.

Zhang Fei said: "They traveled all night, and they were exhausted. They could not run faster than us. Five people just need to bite them. It will take two or three days to wipe them out."

After all, there were few people, and Zhang Fei was reluctant to take out all the martial arts masters to fight with the other side. There are many ways to fight in war, and he has no shortage of time.

What if a few people on the other side escape?

It doesn't matter at all. Even if they go all out, they can still run away if they want to, but as long as they don't go to Yizhouwei, everything will be fine.

"Master Zhang, Gang Leader Long is dying!"

The sudden voice startled Zhang Fei and he rushed over.

He saw the sturdy sixty-year-old man lying on the ground, covered in blood.

He was shot in the abdomen and had three knife wounds on his back, but none of them were fatal. The fatal thing was... a deep stab wound on the lower edge of his chest, and the blood could not be covered.

Zhang Fei yelled, "Golden medicine, where is the golden medicine, Gang Leader Long, use your internal strength to protect your heart meridian!"

The sixty-year-old man, with wrinkles all over his face and grinning, shook his head and said, "No, he can't be saved."

He stretched out his calloused hand, grabbed Zhang Fei's wrist, and said with difficulty, "Master Zhang... my son... my two sons... help me, cough cough..."

Zhang Fei was stunned and clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat them badly!"

Gang Leader Long shook his head and said, "There is no good end for those who wander around the world. To put it nicely, they are knights who rob the rich and help the poor, and to put it bluntly, they are bandits who are playing with their lives."

"Master Zhang, they can't study, give them a chance, let them join the army..."

Speaking of the lastAfter that, the weathered old man also choked up, his voice became weaker.

"I'm so old, I can still do some work, and I can bring some honor to my family... It's worth it, thank the Marshal for his great kindness, I... I'm an insignificant old man, but I also died for my country."

"I'm sure I won't... I won't go to hell..."

He fell down weakly, let go of Zhang Fei's hand, and looked at the sky full of stars with turbid eyes.

Looking back in time, he saw his so-called glorious life, struggling in the rivers and lakes, establishing gangs, and gaining prestige...

All of that seemed not as satisfying as today's battle.

It's just... a little reluctant...

I haven't seen Dajin win yet...

"Master Zhang, we died twenty-one people."

The young man named Xiao Xu had a low voice.

Zhang Fei stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "It's a sacrifice! Sacrifice for the country!"

He looked at everyone with tears in his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "There will be sacrifices in war! They are heroes and martyrs, and we must continue to fight!"

"Leave one to bury the bodies, and the others continue to chase me."

Xiao Xu suddenly looked up and said, "Master Zhang, Gang Leader Long always says that we are insignificant..."

"Are we really insignificant?"

Zhang Fei looked at everyone and said firmly, "Whether a person is insignificant or not is not determined by his background, status and power, but by what he is fighting for."

"The battle we are participating in is indeed not large in scale, but it will directly affect the battle of Shenzhou, the lives of tens of millions of people, and even the final victory or defeat."

"It's all for the country! Nothing is insignificant!"

Everyone stood up one after another, holding their horses, gritted their teeth, and said nothing.

Zhang Fei said, "Xiao Xu, you are responsible for burying the bodies, and we will continue to pursue."

Xiao Xu nodded heavily and said, "I will catch up soon."

Zhang Fei said, "Yes, no one in our team will be left behind!"

A group of Jianghu men rode on their horses and chased in the direction of the Tsarist cavalry with a more determined belief.

Five Jianghu masters have already bitten them, and they can't go to Yizhouwei.

Under the starry night, a life-and-death competition is going on.

This battle is destined to be secret and unknown.

But these sacrificed Jianghu heroes are equally great.

The light in their souls lights up the stars in the night sky.

Insignificant?

No, it is secret and great.
