Chapter 924: Confrontation
The leader of Shuixi who led the troops here was Mrs. Shezi.
Today, they were still in the camp, worrying about the speed of transporting food and grass for their unit, and thinking about how to continue to stay here and wait for the confirmation letter from Liu Shuzhen of Shuidong. Unexpectedly, at night, something so big happened quietly.
At night, Shezi had already gone to bed, but suddenly someone came to report that the soldiers under Adu's command had suddenly set off quietly!
With a woman's sixth sense, Mrs. Shezi immediately smelled some conspiracy against Shuixi. What she feared most was that Adu, the fool, would disobey her orders as the acting chieftain and go head-on to attack the city wall of Guiyang. It didn't matter if all the people in his tribe were annihilated, but it might completely destroy the efforts of His Royal Highness King Zhou and Shuidong, and make Shuixi buried with him because of his stupidity!
Therefore, Mrs. Shezi hurriedly sent out scouts, and then captured the remaining people of Adu's troops in the village, in order to find out the whole story as quickly as possible.
Then, she received two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news.
The good news is that the idiot Adu did not touch the city wall of Guiyang. Guiyang City was built by the two tribes of Shuidong and Shuixi, and no one knows how tall and solid they are. Bringing the thousand-plus people of this tribe to attack Guiyang City? Isn't that asking for trouble?
But the bad news instantly made Mrs. Shez feel relieved, and her heart rose to her throat again: Although Adu did not go to attack Guiyang, he went to attack Shuidong!
Attacking Shuidong... in a sense, it is ten thousand times more terrifying than attacking Guiyang City. Because, in order to reassure the chieftains of various tribes, King Zhou Zhu Su now lives in Shuidong Village!
If His Royal Highness Prince Zhou is in trouble, not only will the Ming Dynasty regard Shuixi as an enemy, but other chieftains will also regard Shuixi as an enemy, because this disrespectful act may very likely cause them to be implicated when facing the majesty of the Ming Dynasty Hongwu Emperor!
Shocked, Shezi immediately led his troops to rush to Shuidong, hoping to stop the ignorant and foolish behavior of Adu. But before they got halfway, they met an army... and they even charged without thinking twice!
It was the Ming army! At this moment, he thought of this matter. He thought that the Ming Dynasty had already known about the trouble caused by Adu.
Mrs. Shezi's military talent was not high, so she led the team and made an obvious dazed move. Taking advantage of this gap, the front half of the cone of the Ming army, which was in a cone formation, had already pierced into the formation of the warriors of the Western Shuixi Army. A scream came from the Western Shuixi Army.
Just like what Di Meng thought, the first thought in Mrs. Shetz's mind was "It's over, it's all over." For the sake of the continued glory of her race, she had endured humiliation all the way, just to rely on the Ming Dynasty so that her husband's Shuixi West could have a place to reproduce and thrive here... But now, they have already fought with the Ming Dynasty, and all her efforts along the way have been wasted.
She saw Ma Ye’s flag.
There was no way the Ming Dynasty would give in, and since the war had already started, it was even less likely that she would give in because of the injustice she suffered due to the loss of her husband, Ma Ye.
"Follow me! Kill the bandits!" Madam Shezi stared at Ma Ye's flag with bloodshot eyes. She, a woman, actually pulled out the scimitar decorated with gold and silver at her waist and rushed towards Ma Ye's flag.
The chieftain's wife, a woman, personally led the charge, and the barbarian soldiers of the Shuixi region also woke up from their stunned state. They followed Mrs. Shezi and the chieftains and rushed towards the place where Ma Ye's flag was.
The battle became more intense.
"Come on!" Ma Ye had noticed that Mrs. Shezi was leading her men to kill him. Ma Ye was also angry at this "Guifang Barbarian Woman" who was good at forbearance and forced him to take such a risky move. Some of his soldiers were unable to join the battlefield because of Di Meng's obstruction, and it was precisely because of this that the Shuixi Barbarians took advantage of the opportunity and killed them directly.
But it didn't matter. Although he, Ma Ye, was a relative of the emperor, he had also lived a hard life, shed blood, and been trapped in battle. Seeing this, he was filled with murderous intent, so he simply kicked his horse's belly and rushed out with his personal guards.
"You barbarian girl from Guifang, you dare to tease me! I will use you as my number one merit in Guizhou!"
"Kill! Kill the horse thieves!" Mrs. Shez was already covered in blood. She not only did not hear Ma Ye's provocation, but she charged towards Ma Ye's flag without reservation.
"Die!" Rushing to Mrs. Shez, Ma Ye raised his knife and chopped her down.
After all, the Shuixi people were mostly infantry, while Ma Ye and his personal soldiers were cavalry. In terms of speed, Ma Ye was naturally much faster than Madam Shezi. Therefore, when Ma Ye raised his knife, Madam Shezi didn't even have time to react.
However, just as Ma Ye was about to chop down with his long sword with a grim grin on his face, he suddenly heard a "clang" sound, and the long sword suddenly deflected. An arrow actually hit the long sword directly, causing it to deflect and slip out of his hand, and then he chopped into nothing.
"Sir Tongzhi!" Seeing that his weapon had fallen out of his hand, he hurriedly pushed away the people from Shuixi and at the same time pushed Ma Ye into the formation.
The arrow shot by the attacker was extremely powerful. Ma Ye himself was quite experienced in using bows and arrows and could draw a bow with three stones. However, he was still shaken by the arrow and his palms were still trembling slightly.
He turned around in astonishment, only to see a group of people appearing from the side. One of them had just put away his bow and arrow, and the arrow was shot by this person.
The man was tall and looked like the foreigners in the northern border areas, but he had no beard. His eyes were bright and seemed to have cold lightning. His arms were muscular and he seemed to have great strength.
"The eunuch guarding King Zhu Su of Zhou!" Ma Ye's heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong.
"His Royal Highness King Zhou has issued an order! Drop your swords and guns, and raise your hands high! Both sides cease fighting, both sides cease fighting!"
Sure enough, as soon as this group of people rushed in, they started shouting and yelling. Ma Ye gritted his teeth, seeing that they were not many in number, and perhaps they could not stop the situation like Di Meng. Thinking that if they failed, they would die, he simply shouted, "Don't listen to him! This is the thief's plan!"
"Listen to me, come on! Those who fight bravely will be rewarded handsomely!"
"Who dares to attack me if I don't kneel down and show respect?"
"King Zhou, the guards and the guest troops from the east of the water, obey my orders!"
"Anyone who sees this king and does not drop his sword and gun and retreat to his knees will be killed without mercy!"
A very familiar voice was heard, and the ground trembled. Behind Gou'er and Zhou Wangwei, Zhu Su, Song Qin and a group of Shuidong warriors also rushed into the melee.
They specifically marched along the front line where the Ming army was fighting with the Shuixi army. With their large numbers and the huge flag of King Zhou at their head, wherever they went, they were like a whirlwind that blew the front line into pieces.
Along the way, whips were flying, and anyone who did not drop their weapons and kneel down to pay homage to King Zhou would be severely whipped, regardless of whether they were Han people from Guizhou Wei or Yi people from the west of the water.
Even if there were those who were so bloodthirsty that they refused to drop their weapons and continued to fight, Zhu Su would not show mercy. He would kill them without mercy and order his men to draw their knives and kill them with one strike.
Due to the suppression of numbers, the blessing of Zhu Su's identity, and the suppression of such iron-blooded means, the two sides that were originally fighting were actually "torn" apart by Zhu Su.
