Ma Baozhong yelled in a panic, "Zhang Cheng, I am a general in Datong Town, a military officer of the third rank in the imperial court, the general of your Xuanfu can't kill me...you can't kill me..."

"Hey hey hey..."

Zhang Cheng laughed grimly and shouted: "Your management of the army is not strict, you are timid before the battle, and even led the rout of troops to attack our Xuanfu army formation, which almost caused today's battle to be defeated and lost.

If I don't kill you, how can I convince the crowd?And how can I be worthy of fighting to the death with the slaves and not retreating, I Xuan Dajun, who was killed before the battle! "

"Zhang Cheng, I am a dignified third-rank military officer. I have not been accepted by the Ministry of War. You have no right to kill me for the crime of incompetence..."

Faced with Ma Baozhong's roar, Zhang Cheng acted as if he hadn't heard it, and asked loudly, "Lin Fangping, where are you?"

Lin Fangping, a guerrilla from the Huwei Battalion of the Xuanfu Army, came out more and more, clasped his fists and shouted: "The end is here."

"Ma Baozhong, a general of Datong, was timid before the battle, led his people to flee, and even attacked our Xuanfu army's battle formation. How should he be punished according to military law?"

"Return to Commander, cut according to the law!"

Zhang Cheng shouted loudly: "Take Ma Baozhong away, and behead him in front of my general Xuan, as a warning to others."

"Here!"

Lin Fangping responded loudly, urging the soldiers under his command to escort Ma Baozhong to the front of the formation.

The generals of the surrounding Xuanfu and Datong were all stunned on the spot, except for Ma Baozhong's howling, there was no movement at all, not even Guo Yingxian, the general of the Xuanfu, Zhang Guangda, the guerrilla, and even Zhang Guodong, the chief general of the Chicheng Camp, etc. Zhang Cheng actually knew how to kill Ma Baozhong.

"Zhang Cheng, you can't kill me..."

"I am the general of Datong Town...you have no right to kill me..."

Ma Baozhong struggled. Although he kept shouting at Zhang Cheng, his eyes were fixed on Wang Pu, the commander of Datong, as if he was begging him to intercede for him.

Wang Pu also felt that Zhang Cheng's actions seemed inappropriate, so he stood beside Zhang Cheng and said nonuo: "Zhang Shuai, is it true that you want to kill Ma Shenjiang?"

He bit the word "participant" very hard, as if he wanted to remind Zhang Cheng to handle it with caution and not to act recklessly.

Seeing that Zhang Cheng didn't express his opinion immediately, Wang Pu reminded again: "After all, Ma Baozhong is a third-rank military officer. If he is not qualified by the Ministry of War, he seems to be suspected of killing without permission."

Only then did Zhang Cheng turn his head with disdain, and said to Wang Pu: "Mr. Wang, being timid before going into battle is a big taboo for military strategists. This trend must not last long. Today, this commander will be brave enough to get rid of this scum in Datong Town." , with positive military discipline.

Mr. Wang, don't talk too much! "

What he said was full of energy, not to mention Wang Pu, but all the generals around Xuanda heard it clearly, and Ma Baozhong was always concerned about the reaction here, so naturally he could hear it clearly.

Knowing that he was going to die today, he also became completely crazy, and roared: "Zhang Cheng, I will never let you go even if I am a ghost... I will never let you go..."

Zhang Cheng ignored Ma Baozhong's yelling, he got up from the seat suddenly, took off the saber from his waist, and shouted: "Zhang Chengfang, here you are."

Zhang Chengfang walked up quickly from behind Zhang Cheng, cupped his fists and said, "Zhang Chengfang, here."

"This sword, my commander, is the sword bestowed by the emperor today. The emperor wants me to use this sword to kill slaves, thieves and bandits outside, and corrupt officials and treacherous officials and defeated generals inside."

As he spoke, he held up the saber with both hands, and said: "Zhang Chengfang, take this sword and go to supervise and kill Ma Baozhong, remember to let this sword be stained with Ma Baozhong's blood, and then return with your head up!"

"Here."

Zhang Chengfang responded loudly, took the sword Zhang Cheng handed to him, turned around and left in a hurry.

But all the generals present were very surprised when they heard this remark. Naturally, they all knew about the armor and sword bestowed on Zhang Cheng by Emperor Chongzhen.

But the emperor asked Zhang Cheng to use this sword to kill slaves, thieves and bandits outside, corrupt officials and treacherous officials and defeated generals inside, but this was the first time he had heard of it, so they couldn't help but guess in their hearts.

But at this time, they were all overwhelmed by Zhang Cheng's aura. Although they had doubts in their hearts, none of them dared to ask them in public.

After a while, Zhang Chengfang returned with a bloody human head in his hand, and said loudly: "Return to Commander, Zhang Chengfang has completed the execution and reported to Commander."

After he finished speaking, he raised the bloody human head high, showed it to everyone present, and then slipped it in his hand again, waiting for Zhang Cheng's order.

Zhang Cheng nodded in satisfaction, and said to him, "Take ten guards and send Ma Baozhong's head to each battalion for public display, so as to enforce military discipline and serve as an example to others."

"Here."

After Zhang Chengfang left, a chill flashed in the hearts of all the generals. Most of them were amazed that Zhang Cheng would kill as soon as he said it. In his eyes, the dignified third-rank military officer of the court was like an ant.

However, this is not over yet, Zhang Cheng then called his deputy officer Zhang Mingyuan, and said to him: "Mingyuan, you and He Kuan lead the right part of the central army, escort the left battalion of the Datong Army to return to Huangtuling Xuanfu army station.

He Kuan is in charge of escorting and taking care of everything, while you are in charge of screening the routs, especially the more than [-] generals in the left-wing battalion, but those who flee first will be beheaded immediately after being registered, and there is absolutely no tolerance ! "

"Here."

Zhang Cheng went on to say: "For ordinary sergeants, it is also necessary to re-register on the register and make them guarantee each other. If someone does not obey the military order or obey the military law, in addition to beheading the person involved, the guarantor must also be killed together. beheaded."

"Here."

After Zhang Mingyuan left, the generals of the Datong Army began to speculate whether Zhang Cheng wanted to kill Ma Baozhong just to swallow up his left-wing battalion soldiers and horses?
But after careful consideration, they all felt that this would not be the case. After all, Zhang Chenggui is now the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, and he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands. .

At this moment, Zhang Cheng turned to Wang Pu and said, "General Wang, the left-wing battalion in Datong Town is not enough. Commander, I will clean it up for you, and return it to Datong Town after the re-formation drill is over."

However, Wang Pu knew Zhang Cheng better than the other generals in Datong Town. He knew that Zhang Cheng said that he would return in the future, so he would definitely not destroy the Left Wing Battalion and forcibly incorporate them into Xuanfu Town.

He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Zhang Shuai will have to worry about it."

So far, the disposition of the defeat of the left-wing battalion of Ma Baozhong in Datong Town has come to an end, but the battle with the slaves has not yet ended.

Zhang Cheng and the generals started discussing the next step of the military strategy again. They said it was a discussion, but only the generals of the Xuanfu Army came out to speak, while the generals of the Datong Army just listened from the sidelines. The same is true for military officer Wang Pu.

Maybe they are not used to the form of the Xuanfu army's military discussion, or maybe they were all shocked by Zhang Cheng's decisive killing just now, and they have not fully recovered at this moment.

As a result of the final discussion, the Xuanfu army was still on the left, and the Datong army was on the right, forming a fan-shaped army formation to fight against the slaves.

The Xuanfu army formed the formation on the far right with Zhang Cheng's center army on the left and the chariot on the left, and the Chicheng battalion on the far right, next to the Datong army's standard battalion, while the Xuanfu army's Huwei battalion and Jiading cavalry were on the far right. Arrayed behind the Chinese Army in Zhang Chengxuanfu Town.

On the left side of the Chicheng Battalion are Guo Yingxian's Zhenbiao Battalion and Zhang Guangda's Cavalry Battalion, while the right part of the Xuanfu Army's chariot is temporarily assigned to the Datong Army, forming a joint formation with Wang Pu's Zhenbiao Battalion, and then to the right is Datong Army Right Wing Battalion, Ranger Battalion.

Just as the Xuan-Da Allied Forces formed their formations and built a new line of defense, the Manchuria-inlaid white flags and Mongolia's two yellow flags on the opposite side were also re-arranging, and the final decisive battle was imminent.
