The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 23 Yang Family Pear Blossom Spear

The whole team was overjoyed!

30 taels of silver is a huge sum of money for these poor people.

Zhang Dashu's arms instantly surged with strength, waving the small tree, sweeping, sweeping, sweeping wildly...

The ruffians in front couldn't get close at all. Occasionally, a gun was thrust at them, but it was blocked by door panels and pot lids.

At this time, those scoundrels with a little intelligence among them also realized that the front of the Mandarin Duck Formation was unbreakable. The two wolf-whips plus the door panels and pot lids formed a solid barrier. It was a pipe dream for this group of scoundrels to want to break through the Mandarin Duck Formation head-on.

You have to go around to the side.

A group of rogues quickly crossed the line...

But just as they got around to the side of the Zhangjiacun team, they saw another Mandarin Duck team coming up from the side and rear, protecting the flank of the Zhangjiacun team.

The eight mandarin duck teams finally all entered combat status, and the width of the battle formation was opened up.

Once the width was opened, it was impossible for a group of scoundrels to pose an effective threat to the side of the Mandarin Duck Formation. Even if one or two of them were agile enough to run to the side, they would be immediately targeted by the halberd-wielding men. They would be stabbed with their hay forks and pushed away to a certain distance. The spearmen would then stab them with their spears, and the scoundrels would have no way out but death.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen ruffians had been killed or injured.

With the casualty rate reaching this level, collapse is inevitable.

The remaining eighty or so people no longer dared to fight, and with a strange cry, they fled in all directions...

Yue Wenxuan shouted, "Try to chase and kill them as much as you can. Kill as many as you can. Otherwise, they will run back to Wangjiazhuang Fort and find themselves in the enemy's formation again during the next battle."

The first to react to his command were, of course, the plastic men. They prioritized Yue Wenxuan's orders above all else, and couldn't execute them in multiple directions. As soon as Yue Wenxuan gave an order, it became their sole purpose in life.

The Mandarin Duck Squad immediately chased the rogues and killed them indiscriminately...

They have become role models for the rebel soldiers. Whatever they do, the rebels will follow. The eight mandarin duck formations split into eight directions and chased out, hunting down and killing any lone rogues.

Madam Gong Er was stunned at this time. She had great confidence in the heavenly soldiers. When the battle just started, she guessed that they would definitely win. But she didn't expect that they would win so easily. It was always difficult for her to fight against that group of rabble under her command in the past, but this time, they won so easily against those ruffians whose number was no less than theirs?
If you win too easily, it will feel a little unreal. You will rub your eyes and can’t quite believe it.

Yue Wenxuan spoke up: "Mrs. Gong Er, your crossbow, shoot quickly."

Madam Gong Er suddenly woke up: "Ouch!"

He quickly aimed at the back of a ruffian and shot him. The ruffian screamed and fell to the ground.

This arrow attracted the attention of four ruffians nearby.

The scene was extremely chaotic at this time. The ruffians were fleeing in all directions, and the Mandarin Duck Formation was chasing them everywhere. The four ruffians were not targeted by the Mandarin Duck Formation for the time being, and they still had the energy to be petty.

The four saw one of their companions being shot down. They looked in the direction the arrow came from and saw Yue Wenxuan, Qi Jiguang, and Gong Erniang standing not far away, without a single soldier around them.

The commander has no personal soldiers around him?
A hint of ruthlessness suddenly flashed in the eyes of the four people.

One of them whispered, "If we just run back to Dongmiaozi to see Mr. Wang, we'll definitely be killed. But if we take Madam Gong Er's head back, it will be a great achievement and we can get a lot of reward."

The other three nodded: "That makes sense."

"Then what are we waiting for? Madam Gong Er has no personal soldiers around her. Let's turn around and attack her. It's four against three. If we eliminate the useless scholar, the woman only counts as half. The advantage is mine."

"We have the advantage!" The four men suddenly stopped running, roared, swung their machetes, and rushed towards Madam Gong Er.

There was chaos all around, and all the Mandarin Duck teams were very busy. Even the scouts who were not part of the Mandarin Duck team were busy chasing down ruffians. No one really noticed that these four fierce ruffians were coming to fight back.

In the blink of an eye, the four of them rushed to Yue Wenxuan and Gong Erniang.

Madam Gong Er was stringing a crossbow at this time when she suddenly noticed an enemy rushing towards her. She quickly threw the crossbow to the ground and raised her eyebrow-tipped knife.

The two ruffians attacked Madam Gong Er at the same time with two machetes.

Madam Gong Er was a little flustered, but luckily she was no ordinary woman, having trained with her father in spear, club, and sword techniques since childhood. With her eyebrow-tipped sword in hand, she blocked the blows left and right, barely managing to deflect two blows...

At this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she saw two other ruffians attacking General Qi Tianjiang.

Two broadswords slashed towards Qi Jiguang at the same time.

Well, actually, it was aimed at Yue Wenxuan.

An unexpected incident occurred, and Yue Wenxuan didn't want to sit and wait for death. He immediately switched consciousness, controlled Qi Jiguang's body, and took the spear in his hand. A smile flashed across his face: "Good timing!"

After possessing Qi Jiguang, he inherited all of Qi Jiguang's abilities.

How good was Qi Jiguang’s martial arts?
According to incomplete statistics, Qi Jiguang was proficient in dozens of martial arts, including Ma family spear, Sha family pole, Yang family spear, Xinyou swordsmanship, Qi family thirteen swords, short stick technique, Qi family boxing... and he had practiced each of them to the pinnacle.

Facing two ruffians swinging machetes at him, what he needed to consider was not how to win, but which kind of shooting skills to use to show off.

A sentence from the Jixiao New Book suddenly flashed through my mind: "The tradition of spearmanship began with the Yang family, who called it the Pear Blossom. It became a world-renowned art, with its unpredictable changes and boundless mystification. Few in later generations have grasped its essence."

The "Zhen Ji" also says: "The Ma family spear, the Sha family pole, and the Li family short spear each have their own unique merits...but the only one in the world that is unrivaled is the Yang family's pear blossom spear technique."

It’s decided, let’s use the Yang family’s spear technique!

Yue Wenxuan swung the spear in his hand and chanted, "Twenty Pear Blossom Spears, unrivaled in the world."

The tip of the gun trembled, and instantly the sky was filled with gun shadows, like a tree of pear blossoms, blooming brilliantly and dazzlingly.

The two ruffians only felt a flash before their eyes, as if countless guns were poking at them... They were so scared that they couldn't attack with the machetes in their hands. They quickly retracted them to protect themselves and waved them wildly in front of them, trying to push away the gun shadows.

But with their help? Could they knock away the Yang family spear?
I wouldn't even dream of doing that.

All that was heard was the continuous sound of "Puff, Puff, Puff" as the gun tip pierced the flesh. Yue Wenxuan didn't know how many times he had stabbed the two men in just a short moment.

The two ruffians opened their eyes wide, unable to believe that there was such a sharp shooting skill in the world. They fell to the ground without closing their eyes.

The two ruffians who were besieging Gong Erniang saw their companion being killed at the first sight out of the corner of their eyes. They were so frightened that their souls flew away and their moves became messed up.

How could Madam Gong Er miss this opportunity? She swung the knife in her hand and hit a ruffian's neck with a "puff", and blood spurted all over her face.

The last ruffian was left and he turned and ran away.

Madam Gong Er roared angrily, wielding her eyebrow-tipped knife like a javelin, and hurled it forward, hitting the scoundrel's vital point...
