Chapter 36: Practicing three thousand times a day, all for this one move

  （0036）

  Everyone is exceptionally enthusiastic about eliminating the black leopard, as if they will not rest until it is eliminated.

  No choice, the hatred between Black Panther and Yangjia Village was too deep.

  To be exact, there is just too much blood debt on his hands.

  Yangjiatun was just a small village, but there were already twenty or thirty people dead or wounded at his hands.

  In the past, the vast number of military dependents had no ability to resist, they could only be angry but not dare to speak out, swallowing their anger and helplessly watching the black leopard running wild. But now, the situation is completely different. Under Zhang's leadership, Yangjiatun has organized a guard team, with its own armed forces. Moreover, it also has its own source of funding. Yes, Yangjiatun no longer needs to fear the tyranny of the black leopard.

  "None left!"

  "Quickly and thoroughly eliminate him!"

  This is the voice of every officer, and it is also the voice of every warrior in the guard. It is even more so the voice of all the military households in Yangjia Village.

  As the guardian of Yangjia Village, it is impossible to let Black Panther come to Yangjia Village and run wild. It is a necessary choice to meet the enemy in the wild. Zhang Zhun and others studied for a while, and their eyes fell on Liushu Gou. From Gejiatun to Yangjiatun, Black Panther should pass through this transportation artery of Liushu Gou. The terrain around Fushan City is very flat, if you want to take the ambush method, you can only choose Liushu Gou.

  However, it's unlikely to ambush the Black Panther in Liushu Gou. After what happened with Lao San last time, the Black Panther is well aware of the situation and will definitely send someone to scout ahead when passing through Liushu Gou, so they won't make a mistake easily. If the guard team still tries to ambush in Liushu Gou, it's likely that the other side will detect them. In fact, Zhang Zhun didn't plan to ambush the Black Panther in Liushu Gou either.

  He was not prepared for an ambush by the black leopard at all.

  He wants to take it head-on!

  Zhang Zhun believes that even if the Guards face off against the Black Panthers, they won't be at a disadvantage.

  Finally, Zhang Zhun decided to deploy troops on the west side of Liu Shu Gou and engage in a fierce battle with Hei Bao.

  For this battle, Haozi was still a bit worried. After all, he didn't have many opportunities to witness the Guardian Squad's training, and wasn't very familiar with their combat strength. He walked over to Zhang Quan's side and said in a low voice, "Yulin... should we call for some more people?"

  Zhang Zhun said disapprovingly: "Who are you calling?"

  Hao Zi thought for a moment and said, "Among the nine battalions of Fushan, which one doesn't have a blood feud with the Black Panther? As long as we send out a message, there will definitely be people who come to reinforce us. I don't dare guarantee a hundred men, but fifty is still possible."

  Zhang Zhun shook his head unintentionally and said confidently: "No need, we can handle it ourselves!"

  Hao Zi didn't say anything else, but he was still a bit uneasy in his heart.

  After all, Hei Bao was the number one villain in Fushan City, and his reputation preceded him. He really didn't believe that Zhang Zhun could easily defeat him.

  Although he believed Zhang Zhun's skills were also impressive.

  "Everyone get your weapons ready!"

  "Get ready for battle!"

  Zhang Zhun issued orders in a low voice.

  The warriors of the guard began to tidy up their equipment in an orderly manner.

  Bamboo spears and tridents are essential weapons, waist knives, steel knives, and long spears are backup weapons, which are also useful when brought along. It seems that Zhang Yatie, a martial arts enthusiast, is also good at wielding waist knives. The only things lacking are bows and arrows and firearms, which will be supplemented slowly in the future.

  According to the intelligence gathered by Hào Zǐ, Hei Bao and his men do not have bows and arrows or firearms. Their main weapons are steel knives, long spears, fish forks, clubs, and hammers. In terms of weaponry alone, they are not much different from the Imperial Guard. After all, as one of Wang Shizhen's dogs, it is unlikely that their master would give them good weapons to use, lest the dog bites its master, which would be troublesome.

  "Let's go!"

  "Willow Creek!"

  Zhang Zhun said in a low voice.

  From Hongshitan to Liushugou, it takes less than an hour.

  When all the guards arrived at Liu Shu Gou, Hei Bao had not yet arrived.

  The guardsmen at the southwest exit of Liutiaogou, lined up in formation, waiting quietly for the enemy's arrival.

  Since we are going to defeat the enemy openly and justly, let's form a battle array and confront each other!

  This was the first battle after the formal establishment of the Guards, and no one dared to be careless. Zhang Zhun was also an exception. He inspected the soldiers' equipment back and forth in the team, patted the soldiers' shoulders, hit the soldiers' chests, and boosted everyone's morale. Yang Zhiyuan and Hao Linyong, two generals, also stood at the forefront of the team, waiting solemnly. As for Zhang Yatie, he closed his eyes to meditate, not looking like a desperate man at all.

  "Here I come!"

  The mouse rushed over to report.

  The black panther and his team finally appeared half a time later.

  This new king's powerful claw, bare-chested, had dark black skin, with all sorts of patterns tattooed on his skin, not a single hair on his forehead, shiny and bright. On both wrists were worn unknown named ornaments, the belt was tied with a red cloth strip for driving out evil spirits, and at the same time hung an awkward-looking jade pendant.

  Seeing Zhang Zhun and others standing at the southwest exit of Liu Shuigou, Hei Bao and others were slightly surprised and hastily stopped in their tracks. The people beside him were also shocked and quickly dispersed to check around them. Only when they were sure that they had not been ambushed did they calm down. When they saw the bamboo spears tightly held in Zhang Zhun's hands, some of them began to laugh scornfully.

  The black leopard recognized Zhang Zhun at a glance and smiled triumphantly.

  He had enough reason to laugh. When leaving Fushan City, his biggest concern was that Zhang Zhun and others would hide and play hide-and-seek with him. If that were the case, even if he could destroy Yangjia Village, he couldn't thoroughly eliminate Zhang Zhun's gang. But everything in front of him made Hei Bao completely put his mind at ease. This silly kid was just a silly kid, thinking that organizing dozens of mud-legged kids could resist him? How naive!

  "Drop your arms and surrender at once, you fools!"

  "Otherwise, I will flatten your entire Yangjia Village!"

  The sound of the black leopard came from far away.

  This guy's voice is indeed very loud, no need for a megaphone, it can be heard all over the fields.

  Zhang Jun remained silent.

  The guards remained silent as well.

  "Hey!"

  "Stand at attention!"

  "Yangjia Village people!"

  "Is it you I'm talking about? Didn't you hear?"

  The black leopard continued to roar angrily.

  Zhang Zhun and others still did not respond.

  The black panther thought that Zhang Quan and the others had gathered here just to launch a suicidal attack. These mud-legged people were useless, but they still had some hard bones. But what's the use of having hard bones? Were they harder than steel knives and long spears? In a moment, he would use steel knives and long spears to check whether their bones or the steel knives and long spears were harder.

  "Second Brother, I heard that your Yang Family Village has quite a bit of refined salt."

  "Hand over all your fine salt, and I'll let you keep your whole corpse!"

  "Right, and hand over your woman too! I heard your woman is called Yang Yinghua, not bad looking? Haha, after killing you, I'll take good care of your woman!"

  The black leopard spoke to itself without restraint.

  He was arrogant on Fushan and didn't take Zhang Zhun and others seriously at all.

  This time, Wang Shixin was actually not very supportive of the action, but he didn't say why. However, Hei Bao couldn't help himself, especially after hearing that Yangjia Village had a large batch of refined salt. Refined salt, that's where the huge profits are, if he could get his hands on a batch of refined salt, he would be set. As long as he had money in hand, he wouldn't have to look at Wang Shixin's face anymore and could do whatever he wanted.

  Although Wang Shixin was ruthless enough when dealing with the military dependents, Hei Bao felt it was not enough. According to Hei Bao's intention, all the resisting and discontented military dependents should be killed, leaving none. Anyway, he had no land and did not need tenants to cultivate. Even behind his back, Hei Bao was thinking about how to seize Wang Shixin's property and seize Wang Shixin's several charming women.

  To achieve this, he must have his own independent economic source and be able to arm his subordinates. Therefore, when he heard that Yangjia Village had refined salt, he was like a dung beetle who saw fresh cow dung and couldn't hold back anymore. He wanted to kill all the people in Yangjia Village and take all the refined salt for himself!

  "We indeed have refined salt."

  Zhang said slowly.

  The black leopard's eyes lit up instantly.

  "But I won't give it to you!"

  Zhang Zhun continued to speak slowly and deliberately.

  "Haha! As long as you have fine salt, it's all good!"

  "You don't need to give it to me! I'll take it myself!"

  The black leopard roared wildly, with a triumphant wave of his hand, commanding his subordinates to start the attack.

  In front of him, twenty thugs were holding long spears, trying to get close to Zhang Zhun and others.

  Zhang Zhun's body slightly crouched down, ready to take on a fighting stance.

  All the warriors of the guard squad also slightly crouched down, with their bamboo spears held at an angle.

  This is the best answer for Black Panther.

  The black leopard suddenly became enraged and loudly shouted: "Kill them all!"

  The twenty strong men in front immediately quickened their pace and rushed up.

  "Ready!"

  Zhang Zhun issued a low-key order.

  The warrior of the guard immediately took a diagonal step back and withdrew his bamboo spear.

  The purpose of contraction is to protrude better, just like a retracted fist can hit people.

  Soon, twenty men armed with long spears appeared in front of Zhang Zhun and his group. Their formation was quite scattered, like the skirmish line of later generations. Relying on their long spears being real weapons, they had a clear psychological advantage over the guards' bamboo guns. Therefore, they raised their spears and did not form a tight, sequential formation, but instead charged directly forward.

  The distance between them quickly narrowed.

  A faint heartbeat can be heard.

  Fifty feet...

  Three Zhang...

  Twenty meters...

  One zhang...

  "Forward thrust!"

  Just then, Zhang Quan let out a loud shout.

  "Hahaha!"

  In an instant, the forty guards in the front row took a step forward at the same time, and the bamboo spears stabbed forward fiercely.

  The sound of the bamboo spear tearing through the air was exceptionally sharp, instantly ripping apart the sky.

  Training three thousand times every day is all for this move!

  "Pffft!"

  Suddenly, the sound of bamboo spears piercing human flesh continued incessantly.

  Blood splattered everywhere, mournful cries burst forth, tearing through the sky, endless and unceasing.

  Twenty thugs were all pierced by bamboo spears, none survived, and they died instantly.

  Training three thousand times a day, repeatedly practicing one move, what kind of power is this?

  Even if there is a stone man in front of you, even if there are layers and layers of armor in front of you, this fierce bamboo spear will still pierce through it!
