Chapter 22: The Conspiracy of a Moonlit Night

"Marshal, you're here!" At this time, Nanyang City was already full of leaders of the righteous army. 300,000 officers and troops are coming, and no one can sleep.

Gao Yingxiang looked down from the top of the city, although it was late at night, but countless fires told Gao Yingxiang that the 300,000 horses of the official army were only a lot more.

"Is it Yang Sichang who is the leader of the troops?" Gao Yingxiang asked again with certainty.

"Back to Dashuai, our spies once saw the official and military marshal banner at close range, and we can be sure that the person who came is Yang Sichang. Liu Zongmin replied in a rough voice.

"Hongji, what do you think?" Although Gao Yingxiang had been in contact with the officials and soldiers countless times, it was the first time that he was surrounded by so many officials and soldiers in the city, so he couldn't make up his mind in his heart.

"Marshal, the last general is willing to personally lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to the robbery camp!" Unlike the previous anti-war, this time Li Zicheng was very active, and directly asked for orders to be the vanguard. In fact, the reason why Li Zicheng did this was to take advantage of the fact that the official army was not firmly on the ground and first to surprise it, and secondly, to take this opportunity to take a good look at the strength of the official army! After all, attacking Luoyang was a tough battle.

"Dashuai or my old Liu go! Brother Li is not as good as me in fighting! Besides, this war is very dangerous, let's let Brother Li give advice by your side!" As soon as he heard that there was a battle, Liu Zongmin was the first to get excited and compete to take the lead!

Gao Yingxiang pondered for a while, as Liu Zongmin said, this battle is still too dangerous, not to mention that it is a surprise attack on the officers and soldiers who are more than his own, no one can guarantee what accidents will happen, Gao Yingxiang is reluctant to let this Li Zicheng die on this battlefield, "Okay! Zong Min be careful!"

"Dashuai is waiting for my old Liu's good news!" As soon as he heard Dashuai's promise, Liu Zongmin hurriedly went down the city tower happily and prepared to go.

Yang Sichang's camp, rushed from Xi'an to Nanyang, such a long-distance attack has already made the arriving soldiers physically and mentally exhausted, just outside the city after camping, many soldiers fell asleep.

Unlike the soldiers who fell asleep, all the generals of the official army and the big and small were now gathered in Yang Sichang's big tent of the Chinese army! Almost all the generals were anxiously waiting for the sneak attack of the rogues, and only Yang Sichang and Wang Feng were calmly drinking tea.

"Gentlemen, don't be impatient, the rogue will definitely come to steal the camp in less than an hour!" Looking at the anxious generals, Wang Feng comforted him!

In fact, Yang Sichang couldn't decide whether the liukou would come to steal the camp, but Wang Feng's calmness made him can't help but stay calm, after all, he is the commander of this Ming army.

In the dark night, the lonely firewood burned quietly, and the surroundings seemed so quiet. The two soldiers standing guard next to the gate had already dozed off with the weapons in their hands. Suddenly, a pair of hideous eyes appeared in the darkness.

Liu Zongmin, who had already wrapped the horse's hooves and wrapped the horse's mouth, led the only 3,000 elite horsemen under his command to evade the Ming army sentry horses around him under the cover of the night, and unknowingly touched the front of the official army camp.

"Kill!" Liu Zongmin, who rushed to the front of the gate, had no need to hide his voice, pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted loudly, and rushed forward with an arrow, and the poor two Ming soldiers who were still asleep did not figure out what was going on, so they lost their heads in their sleep.

The 3,000 cavalry that followed behind Liu Zongmin rushed towards the Ming army camp like arrows off the string. Countless officers and soldiers who were woken up in their sleep ran out of the big tent, and a cold big knife slashed through their throats.

The rebels threw away the torches in their hands one after another, and as soon as the hot torches touched the dry tent, countless flames suddenly rose into the sky, and the Ming army camp was suddenly shrouded in firelight, and countless officers and soldiers fled for their lives in the camp like headless flies.

"Marshal, they're coming!" The general in the big tent of the Chinese army suddenly became excited, and no one here was panicked because the camp was stolen, on the contrary, everyone's face was full of excitement!

"Okay! It's our chance to play!" Wang Feng finally stood up, drank the cup of tea in his hand in one gulp, and said slowly, "Go and get ready to go!"

At this time, in Nanyang City, Gao Yingxiang and the big and small leaders were also anxious, and suddenly a leader excitedly pointed to the front and shouted, "Look, big handsome, the camp of the official army is on fire, General Liu has succeeded, succeeded!"

Gao Yingxiang hurriedly pushed everyone away and walked to the front of the crowd, looking from the city tower, the official and military camps in the distance were on fire at this time, and countless torches were constantly moving, "Good job!" Gao Yingxiang clenched his fists happily!

"Marshal, the last general asks to lead the troops to chase down and kill the officers and soldiers!" Seeing that the camp of the officers and soldiers was in flames, Hao Shaoqi, who was in a hurry, also stood up and petitioned.

"The last general is also willing to go with him!" the remaining leaders, big and small, are not far behind, and they have petitioned!

"Okay, let's lead the soldiers and horses of our headquarters to make meritorious contributions!" At this time, Gao Yingxiang, who was excited, had only one thought in his heart - to eliminate all the officers and soldiers and capture Yang Sichang alive!

The closed Nanyang City suddenly opened, and countless detachments of people and horses swarmed out, and everyone rushed in one direction.

Looking at the troops swarming out, Li Zicheng's heart felt faintly uneasy, but he couldn't say anything wrong, "Marshal, should we be cautious, the officers and troops are not so weak after all!"

"Hey! Hongji, this is a good opportunity for us to chase and kill, how can we miss it! Don't think too much, let's just sit here and wait for them to return victorious!" Gao Yingxiang was full of confidence, as if this victory was within reach.

And the official army battalion, although the officers and soldiers seem to be in a panic, but take a closer look at the retreat of each officer and soldier is tightly organized, at this time only care about the pursuit of Liu Zongmin, how will he observe carefully, now he only has war exploits in his eyes, he kept urging his generals to chase and kill the backward officers and soldiers, and the 300,000 imperial army retreated one after another under the pursuit of 3,000 Liukou.

In Nanyang City, Gao Yingxiang is good news continues, and the chasing soldiers from all walks of life have come to the good news, and the officials and soldiers of the imperial court retreated forty miles under the pursuit of the righteous army.

"Dashuai! Dashuai! We're back!" Liu Zongmin's hearty laughter could be heard from afar.

"Good brother! Good job!" Gao Yingxiang deliberately walked to the door to greet this hero this time, Hao Shaoqi and other big and small leaders behind Liu Zongmin were covered in blood, and last night's battle made them feel hearty, and they hadn't fought like this for a long time!

"Dashuai, this time we have a scene in Luoyang, what is this Yang Sichang, I also saw him fleeing in a panic under the protection of dozens of pro-soldiers last night, if it wasn't for the large number of officers and soldiers at that time, I would definitely capture this Yang Sichang for Dashuai!" Speaking of this Yang Sichang, Liu Zongmin also deliberately looked at Li Zicheng.
