"Yang Xiu, the captain of the first battalion of the Nalan battalion, see General Hao. "The person who came was Yang Xiu, the captain of the fourth battalion of the Beichuan camp.

"How do you know me?" said Hao Sirang in surprise.

"Lu Yuan, the director of the Pingjiang granary, is a small cousin, and he often mentions General Hao, so the subordinate knows it at first sight. Yang Xiu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

As he spoke, he raised his head, revealing a clean, handsome face, with sharp edges and corners like sculptures, which made people feel good at first sight.

In an instant, Hao Sirang had already concluded that the identity of the person who came was real.

Although Yang Xiu's expression was slightly nervous, his heartbeat was very steady, his tone was calm, and his temperament was refined, which was definitely not something that bandits could have.

"Why are you staying here?" asked Hao Sirang, curiously.

"I was passing through Yangcheng on business, and I was going to Pingjiang to visit my cousin, but I never thought that when the Taiping bandits attacked Yangcheng, I wanted to attack them to make military achievements. ”

"Just by talking about a few hundred sergeants, you dare to sneak attack the Taiping bandits?" Hao Sirang said with a slight sneer.

"Hmph! The bandits are just a rabble, even if there are thousands of troops, they are just chickens and dogs, and they just give us military merits. As he spoke, his tone was slightly dissatisfied, as if Hao Sirang had come to rob the military merits.

Hao Sirang smiled dumbly, "That's it, since it's your own people, let's follow the army." However, you must not act at will, because when you break up the army and attack the bandits, there will be times when you tear them apart, and you will not be able to delay your meritorious service. ”

The identity of the defenders of the Nalan camp is true, and they are relatives of Lu Yuan, so Hao Sirang has no reason to embarrass Yang Xiu.

Anyone can not give face, eat Lu Yuan's, drink Lu Yuan's, but when they are coming, they will embarrass the younger generations of others, how can they meet in the future?

"My lord, this matter ......" The guards around him were a little puzzled, this matter was too coincidental, and they couldn't help but cry out to stop it.

Hao Sirang also seemed to understand the meaning of the guards, but Yang Xiu's hundreds of soldiers were trapped in his own army, and there was really a conspiracy, and he couldn't make any waves.

And Yang Xiu is Lu Yuan's nephew, Hao Sirang couldn't pull his face and snubbed him, "Captain Yang, you order to go down, let your people move with the army, all actions are under the command, and you yourself stay by my side for safety." ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Hao Sirang is still wary of himself, he keeps himself by his side, and has the intention of surveillance, but he has no doubt that Yang Xiu is his own.

The wilderness in July is very lively. The sound of frogs, gnats, and unknown insects, ignoring the quietly hurried procession, chirped to their own thoughts, masking the movement of the march.

The hearts of the soldiers are full of hope, and they all know that the bandits are a rabble and can make meritorious contributions, who is not excited?

However, in the silent wilderness, a heart-pounding bowstring suddenly sounded, and the air suddenly darkened, and black oppression appeared out of thin air like a rain of locust arrows, enveloping the land.

"Enemy Attack! Be on Alert ......"

"There's an ambush......!"

"Resist! Don't panic, keep the formation ......"

“......”

Screams, rain of arrows sinking into flesh, neighing horses, wailing...... Loud and loud. The rain of arrows poured down, and in an instant, the whole line fell, and the people turned on their backs.

Hao Sirang raised his eyes and looked, and suddenly appeared around like a forest, under the faint moonlight, the swords and guns flashed with sparkling cold light, and the formation of squares was very neat and impermeable.

Hao Si's heart was cold, and the bandit formation was strictly organized, and it was by no means a rabble.

The Pingjiang camp was squeezed together, and the black crowd squirmed, like a puddle of black water trapped in a cage.

"Rush!" Hao Sirang roared.

The periphery of the crowd was surrounded by the enemy's swords and guns, and the enemy kept stabbing them with spears, and the Pingjiang battalion was suddenly attacked by a sneak attack, and it was too late to list the formation, so it could only fight on its own, and it was impossible to withstand the enemy's layers of swords and guns, advancing step by step; the enemy troops kept covering the center of the ranks with arrows, and in the face of the rain of arrows, the uncovered sergeants watched as the terrible feathered arrows sank into their bodies and fell in rows.

The team fled in all directions, and there was no longer any bothering to find their respective partners and leaders, and the officers at all levels shouted desperately, however, the night was dim, the crowd was chaotic, and where could they still find their team.

"Protect your lordship! Don't panic, be on guard. Yang Xiu followed Hao Sirang's side and kept shouting.

"Retreat, retreat! Hao Sirang shouted.

At this time, it is too late to arrange tasks and organize a formation counterattack, so you can only lead the team to rush in one direction, and only by rushing out quickly can there be space to organize a counterattack, otherwise under the rain of arrows, no one will escape death.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

“......”

The order was carried by a roar.

I have to say that Hao Sirang is an experienced general, and his orders are very correct.

When the team is encircled, the weakest must be the way from which it came, at this time the enemy has not had time to block the retreat, or even if it is blocked, in a hurry, the defense line must be very weak, react quickly, attack with all your strength, and always rush out.

The Pingjiang battalion urgently needs space to organize a counterattack, and it is only possible to jump out of the encirclement, of course, only possible.

The order was right, but overestimated the quality of the sergeant.

The Pingjiang battalion is also well-trained, but it has never participated in actual combat, and at the moment of life and death, everyone wants to flee for their lives, lest they fall behind, and the team is suddenly chaotic, scrambling to trample on it, and no one can take care of anyone.

Only the hundreds of sergeants brought by Yang Xiu seemed to have a tacit understanding, maintained the formation, and faintly gave way to let Hao Sirang and Yang Xiu pass, fortunately, otherwise in the chaos of the army, Hao Sirang was originally the front team, and it was inevitable to fall behind when retreating.

Ma Shaoteng commanded the team, kept crushing forward, deliberately kept a distance, and covered the enemy with a large number of arrows to avoid too close contact and excessive casualties.

Most of the Pingjiang battalions were new soldiers, and seeing that they were unable to resist, they threw down their weapons and surrendered, but in the dark, no one found that the enemy did not leave prisoners, and was crushed by the team, and they fell to the ground and died.

Hao Sirang's war horse was also injured, so he had to dismount and walk, escorted by the guards, and galloped wildly. Yang Xiu followed closely behind, after this battle, Hao Sirang had already regarded Yang Xiu as his own person, but he didn't pay attention to the people and horses brought by Yang Xiu, always running ahead of him.

"Who wants to say that the Taiping bandits are a rabble, Lao Tzu hacked him to death, damn Yangcheng County Order, escape from here, Lao Tzu will hack you to death and chop you into meat sauce. Hao Sirang was remorseful and angry.

The Pingjiang battalion has a total of 6,000 people, and now there are only a few hundred people left, regretting that they should not rush out to attack in a hurry, at least to find out the situation clearly.

Angry, everyone thinks that the Taiping bandits are a rabble, fuck, the rabble can fight 6,000 elites without the power to fight back, and almost all the troops are wiped out?

This is not right, could it be that the Yangcheng County Order colluded with the enemy?

Hao Sirang was puzzled, to say that the enemy army pretended to be a bandit army just to lure himself out, this plan is too wonderful, only in the book can be seen, Hao Sirang does not think that it can exist in reality.

Hao Sirang never dreamed that he would encounter a lone army in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

There are Henghe moats and 500,000 sailors, and any reasonable person knows that if you go deep, you will definitely die.

The Henghe moat can prevent the enemy army from crossing the river and invading the south, and naturally it can also prevent the lone army from escaping northward, who dares to go deep alone? Hao Sirang never thought that the enemy would be the Northern Wei army.

While thinking wildly, Hao Sirang led the remnants of the army to escape ten miles, and the Pingjiang camp was far away.

In the wilderness, the Pingjiang camp is like a black monster, lying quietly under the night sky, the moonlight is like water, sprinkled in the wilderness, the Pingjiang camp is glowing with soft fluorescence, it seems so calm and serene.

Shi Zuomou, the commander of the Pingjiang battalion, was shocked when he learned of Hao Sirang's defeat.

The dignified regular troops, ambushed by a group of rogues, were defeated and returned, and couldn't help but feel that this matter was unusual, Zuo Mou stood on the high platform of the gate, anxiously looking at the direction of Yangcheng.

After a while, a group of defeated troops were seen in the distance coming towards the granary gate in a panic.

"Be on guard!" Zuo Mou shouted, "Don't open the door yet." ”

The sergeants guarding the gate stood against the gate, but there was no bolt so that it could be opened at any time.

The defeated sergeants had reached the gate in a blink of an eye, but when they saw that the gate was closed, they immediately panicked.

"Open the door! We are from the third battalion. ”

"The dog (mother) raised it, don't you see that Lao Tzu is your uncle?

"Monkey cub, communiqué personal vendetta, why didn't you let us into the camp and didn't see us being hunted down?"

“......”

There was a commotion, noise, and curses outside the gate...... In the dark night, accidents often occur at the moment when the door is opened, and Zuo Mou has to guard against it.

The situation is unknown, let the scolding and noise outside the door, in the spirit of caution, Zuo Mou carefully looked at the team under the door, did not see a familiar general, was hesitating, and finally waited for a familiar voice.

"Open the door. Hao Sirang shouted as he ran away.

Zuo Mou no longer hesitated, and shouted: "Open the door quickly!"

The heavy door finally creaked open.

Yang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he had endured it all the time, and he didn't kill Hao Sirang halfway, Lei Shaoxuan had been controlling the rain of arrows, and deliberately let Hao Sirang escape, otherwise it would be difficult to blend into the Pingjiang camp, and the Pingjiang camp also has cautious masters.

With Hao Sirang's light, Yang Xiu entered the gate and quickly flashed to the side, and the five hundred sergeants quickly divided into three parts, mixed in the crowd, and flashed to the side of the three gates.

The rebel army had not yet fully entered, and suddenly the grass not far from both sides of the gate rushed out of the large group of men and horses and rushed towards the gate, which was a thousand people who Lei Shaoxuan had ambushed near the Pingjiang camp in advance.

"Close the door!" shouted Zuo Mou.

To enter the gate means to live, otherwise it means to die.

The sergeants outside the door rushed desperately inside, and the sergeant guarding the door stabbed out with his spear, and the door slowly closed.

"Let me in......"

"Flash away. ”

"Fight with them. ”

"Resist ......"

“......”

Near the gate, there was chaos, and people outside the door were crying, begging, and desperately resisting, but they still couldn't stop the door from closing slowly.

Yang Xiu suddenly shouted, "Hold on, close the door quickly, hard, the dog (mother) raised, do you want to kill us?"

As he spoke, a group of people suddenly drew their knives and killed the sergeant guarding the door, shouting as they slashed: "Are you looking for death? Let you close the door, why don't you close it quickly?"

Everyone looked at it, it seemed that these people were urging the door to close, but the careful people found that how these people were urging the door to close, the knife in their hands kept cutting at the people who closed the door, and quickly controlled the key position of the gatekeeper.

The sergeants guarding the gate were stunned, who the hell was it? How to cut their own people, the situation was unknown, and if they didn't get it, they would die like fools, and they scattered in all directions.

There happened to be no officers near the gate, and Zuo Mou couldn't see the situation at the gate clearly, and the gate was quickly controlled by Yang Xiu with more than 100 people.

In a short time, the Northern Wei army had already rushed over and rushed into the camp.
