Zhu Dashan hurriedly returned to the Chinese army, and went to find information about the Qing army camp in Mianzhou in the past few days. But I couldn't find a detailed piece of information. At this time, Cheng Dequn and Liu Yingnan ran in and asked Zhu Dashan, "Master Hou, are you looking for us?" Zhu Dashan said: "I thought of a way to defeat the Qing soldiers in Mianzhou, but now I don't have a detailed information on the Mianzhou military camp." ”

Cheng Dequn and Liu Yingnan exclaimed: "Master Hou thought of a way so quickly? All right. But the details of this will have to wait for the scouts to find out. Liu Yingnan said again: "I don't know how Master Hou wants to fight?" Cheng Dequn also looked at Zhu Dashan, and Zhu Dashan said: "Didn't we have intelligence before that there were nearly 3,000 people in Mianzhou?" We're going to make a fuss about these people. "Liu Yingnan is also an old military officer, and he understood as soon as he heard Zhu Dashan say that the people are strong. said: "Hou Ye wants to disrupt Minzhuang first, and let Minzhuang attack the Qing army camp?" Cheng Dequn said: "Is this possible?" Minzhuang dares to attack the Qing army camp? ”

Zhu Dashan said: "If it is normal or during the day, it is unlikely that the people will attack the camp of the Qing army, but what if it is night? What about when there is a large army to drive you away? Liu Yingnan said: "This is definitely possible." At that time, we will be behind Minzhuang, take advantage of Minzhuang to rush open the camp of the Qing army, and enter the camp of the Qing army in one go. Before the Qing army could organize resistance, they killed the Qin army and turned on their backs. ”

Zhu Dashan said: "That's right" Cheng Dequn said: "Then we will wait for the scouts to find out the situation and then go to rob the camp." Zhu Dashan said: "I can't wait that long, you go and select a dozen elite soldiers, and then we will go through the woods and see the camp of the Qing army in person." Cheng Dequn was startled and said: "Master Hou will go in person, this is not good." Zhu Dashan said: "What's not okay, if you go, I will wait for you to send the news back before I can make a decision, but I went to see it on the spot and made a decision on the spot." So it's better for me to go. ”

Liu Yingnan also said: "General Cheng, go and arrange it, the soldiers are fast, and there is no delay." Cheng Dequn had no choice but to go out and select soldiers. After a while, Cheng Deyi and Sun Bin also came over and said, "Master Hou, why did you personally go to inquire about the military situation and let us go." Zhu Dashan had to say it again, and Cheng Deyi said: "Then I will also go with Hou Ye, so that the safety of Hou Ye can also be guaranteed." ”

Zhu Dashan said with a smile: "What is not the Hou Ye, not all of them are the same mud legs." Besides, I'm going to investigate the military situation, whether I am going to attack the Qing army camp directly, what are you anxious about. When we go, you have to keep the army ready to go at any time. Prepare dry food again, and prevent the Qing army from attacking the camp. Cheng Deyi had no choice but to say: "I understand, I must take care of the military camp, as long as the Hou Ye's military order arrives, all departments will set off immediately." Zhu Dashan said with satisfaction: "Okay, now let's fight hard and let the defenders in Chengdu see the means of our Restoration Battalion." ”

As soon as Zhu Dashan finished speaking, he saw Cheng Dequn walking in with the selected soldiers. Cheng Deyi said to Cheng Dequn: "Big brother, you have to protect Master Hou." Cheng Dequn said: "I know, even if I die, I will let Hou Ye come back safely." Zhu Dashan said: "Okay, don't grind, just go and find out what the military situation is." After speaking, Zhu Dashan took the lead and walked out.

Zhu Dashan and his entourage climbed the mountains and walked through the forest, but fortunately, the farmers selected were all farmers who were accustomed to mountain roads, and no one was left behind. About half an hour, Zhu Dashan and his entourage came to the mountain outside the Qing army camp, and everyone hid in the woods and forests to observe, and found that the Qing army camp was located in the southwest of the city, near the Anchang River, and in the upper reaches. Minzhuang was placed in the southeast of the city, near the Fujiang River, downstream. Zhu Dashan observed the location of the Qing army's camp and the distance between the Minzhuang camp, and estimated how much time it would take to drive the Minzhuang to attack the Qing army's camp. Fortunately, the distance between the two places is only a few hundred steps, and Zhu Dashan said in his heart: "It's okay"

Zhu Dashan was calculating when he heard a soldier say: "Why do you Qing soldiers seem to be moving." Zhu Dashan also looked carefully when he heard it, because there was still a Fujiang River in front of him, although the Fujiang River in the place Zhu Dashan chose was narrower, but he still couldn't see it clearly. Zhu Dashan also only saw many people running in the Qing army camp, but he didn't see the Qing army array. Said: "This should be the Qing army knowing that we are coming to strengthen the defense of the camp." Liu Yingnan saw the situation in the Qing army camp and said: "Yes, if the Qing army is preparing to leave the camp, there should be a drum and trumpet sound." ”

Zhu Dashan said: "In this case, we should attack the Qing army as soon as possible" and then turned to the soldiers who followed: "The two of you go back, tell Cheng Deyi, let him immediately lead the troops out of the camp, the soldiers only bring dry food, Sun Bin took 500 people to cross the Fujiang River from Maliang Ridge, it is now the beginning of Shen Shi, he must appear in the west of the Qing army at Haishi, and wait until the Qing army camp kills to attack the Qing camp." Let Wang Qing take half of the people with him. Cheng Deyi took the remaining 1,500 people and Weidu to Xiaoyang Town, and we made a detour to Zhujiaying to cross the Fujiang River. Cheng Deyi must rush to Xiaoyang Town at the end of the unitary time. "Wang Qing and Wei are the Yellow Banner cavalry who surrendered. Wang Qing is Songri, Wei is Sheli, the two of them chopped Qin Cha alive and ate their meat, and now there is no way to retreat so they have to follow Zhu Dashan. But Zhu Dashan has always been just the two of them with the surrendered Zhenghuang Banner cavalry to train riding and archery, and they have never let them do anything, and the two of them are also at ease. This time he went to Mianzhou with Zhu Dashan, and Zhu Dashan used their Manchurian status to add material to the Qing soldiers in Mianzhou, after all, now the Manchurian soldiers have an absolute suppression effect in the hearts of these Han people.

The two soldiers immediately turned around and went back to the camp, and Zhu Dashan said to everyone: "Let's go to Xiaoyang Town first and wait for Cheng Deyi" said and took everyone to the direction of Xiaoyang Town.

Cheng Deyi saw Zhu Dashan go out in the camp again, so he hurriedly notified the generals to rectify the army, during this period, many officers came to ask what was going on, Cheng Deyi was not easy to say, only said that it was to strengthen the defense of the camp and let the officers at all levels prepare for the pursuit.

When Shen Shizheng arrived, Zhu Dashan's military order came, and Cheng Deyi immediately summoned the generals and said: "Hou Ye sent a military order" Everyone was shocked when they heard that there was a military order, and they were very positive whether it was true or false. Cheng Deyi said again: "Sun Bin led 500 people from Maliang Ridge to cross the Fujiang River, Wang Qing, you come here, you ordinary people go with Sun Bin." Wang Qing didn't expect anything else about him, and was stunned and heard Cheng Deyi say: "After you cross the Fujiang River, go around to the northwest of the Qing army camp, and you must rush to the west gate of the Qing camp at the right time, and wait until the Qing camp kills to launch an attack on the Qing camp." Do you understand? ”

Sun Bin and Wang Qing immediately replied: "Understood, obey the order" Cheng Deyi let the two of them see the march route in detail, and the two said: "Don't worry, the time will definitely arrive." ”

Cheng Deyi saw the two of them say this, so he said: "The others will go to Xiaoyang Town with me to meet Hou Ye, and Deng Shigan will bring you two hundred people and the people who came today to guard the camp." Seeing that Cheng Deyi was busy getting up and agreeing after arranging the task, everyone went to prepare.

Cheng Deyi and others assembled the army, and separated from Sun Bin and left the camp with their own troops. When Cheng Deyi came to Xiaoyang Town with the army, it was already the end of the unitary period. When Zhu Dashan saw that Cheng Deyi had arrived, he said to everyone: "Wait and cross the river quickly, and after crossing the river, Liu Yingnan will take 500 people to attack the camp of Minzhuang, and remember to drive people to the camp of the Qing army." Let the people brought by Weidu go with you, Minzhuang is afraid that he will not dare to go to the Qing army camp, let Weidu lead people to shout Manchurian words, with this Manchurian person frightened, it is estimated that Minzhuang will have to go to the Qing army camp. Liu Yingnan said: "Hou Ye Miao, the people don't dare to go, so they use which Manchurian to scare them." Okay, I will definitely drive the people to the Qing army camp. ”

Zhu Dashan thought about Cheng Deyi again: "When Minzhuang runs to the camp, it is impossible for Minzhuang to go to the camp of the Qing army, and then you will take 500 people to mix in Minzhuang and take advantage of the situation to seize Mianzhou City." Cheng Deyi quickly agreed when he heard this. Zhu Dashan continued: "The remaining 500 people will go with me to the south of the Qing army camp, and when the people rush to the Qing army camp, I will attack from the south, causing a situation of encirclement on all sides." Jia Si said indifferently: "It's okay, as long as you give an order, Master Hou, I, Jia Si, will definitely be the first to rush in." ”

Zhu Dashan saw that most of the army had crossed the river, so he hurriedly asked everyone to cross the river as well. After crossing the river, the men gathered their troops and continued their journey northward. Finally rushed to the outside of the Qing army camp at the beginning of the day, only to see that the Qing army camp is now silent, and occasionally there are soldiers patrolling the camp walking by, Zhu Dashan looked at this quiet camp, and suddenly was a little worried about tonight's battle. Cheng Dequn beside him also said: "Master Hou looks at the situation is not good, you see that the Minzhuang camp next to him is also pitch black, and there is no light." ”

Zhu Dashan said: "There is no way now, Sun Bin, Liu Yingnan and your brother have already set off, even if it is a trap, it has to be beaten, even if it is a trap, it depends on whether they have this tooth to eat, you go and inform it, tonight is a vicious battle." Let the soldiers prepare again. Cheng Dequn also knew that there was no way to change it now, so he had to notify him.

Zhu Dashan waited outside the barracks at the beginning of the morning when he heard a shout of killing in the Minzhuang camp, and it turned out that Liu Yingnan had started the attack. Liu Yingnan waited with the army to the beginning of the day, and saw that Minzhuang's camp was already asleep, so he asked people to touch the fence outside the camp first, and several people worked together to lift the fence. Liu Yingnan led people to shout and rushed directly into the Minzhuang camp, Liu Yingnan hurriedly told the army to divide the fire, cut down the Minzhuang, and let the Minzhuang be chaotic.

As a result, it was not long before the sergeant sent out came to report that the camp was empty and there was no one. Liu Yingnan sighed in his heart, and suddenly realized that he had been fooled and fell into the trap of the Qing army. Just as he was about to order the army to withdraw, he saw that the torches around him were bright, and the Qing generals Yan Ziming, Li Tingming, Tang Yunhui, and Yan Xici led people to surround them from all directions. Yan Ziming laughed and said: "I see that it's just a group of rabble, and you still learn to rob the camp, you can't even shoot the scouts, and you still want to rob the camp." Isn't this self-defeating? Li Tingming said: "Tell them more, kill them quickly, so that you can help General Li and Liu Weiming in the north." ”

It turned out that as soon as the Fuming battalion army came out of the camp, it was clearly inquired by the scouts on the Qing army's side, and the Qing army came to plan a plan, so that Yan Ziming, Li Tingming, Tang Yunhui, and Yan Xici took 5,000 troops to ambush in the Minzhuang camp, and then Li Yan and Liu Weiming took 500 people to the north to defend Sun Bin's 500 people. With 5,000 people, it is easy to annihilate 1,500 people, or it is natural to fight an ambush, and then join forces to completely eliminate the puppet Ming army from the east gate.

Liu Yingnan first saw that he had been ambushed, and suddenly felt that his army was finished, and Zhu Dashan and them were also finished. But after hearing Li Tingming's words, I knew that the Qing army did not know that the Fuming battalion had divided its troops again after crossing the Fujiang River, which was a variable. Liu Yingnan roared with joy in his heart: "Now that I have fallen for the trick, I can only fight to the death." With a roar of rage, he launched an attack on the Qing army.

The soldiers brought by Liu Yingnan immediately panicked when they saw that they were surrounded, and for a while the officers ignored the soldiers, and the soldiers ignored them and made a mess. At this time, hearing Liu Yingnan's roar, the soldiers remembered that they were rebelling, and the Qing soldiers were now surrounding their own people to make their own guys, since they couldn't live, they had to fight hard, maybe the Hou Ye would bring other soldiers of the Fuming Battalion to save themselves, and now they saw that Liu Yingnan had rushed towards the Qing soldiers, and the soldiers were encouraged by this, and they also raised their knives to attack the Qing army.

It was the team of the Tang Games that was attacked, and the Qing soldiers did not expect that the surrounded Ming army would attack themselves, and for a while they were really attacked by the Fuming battalion into the military formation of the Tang Games. The people of the Fuming camp were immediately mixed up with the Qing army, so that the archers behind the Qing army could not shoot arrows. So that Liu Yingnan escaped with the soldiers of the Restoration Battalion.

The other three saw that the Tang Games were defeated and retreated by the Ming army for a while, and when they saw that it was wrong, they had to lead people to attack the soldiers of the Fuming battalion from other directions. In this way, the people of the Fuming battalion had to form a circle formation, and this circle formation was strong in defense, and when the attack was insufficient.

I saw the swords and swords in the camp, and for a while I saw that the Fuming Battalion could not attack the camp, and the Qing army could not break through the defense of the Fuming Battalion. There were casualties on both sides in an instant, Liu Yingnan led people to attack the Tang Games' army first, and he was about to break through the Tang Games' military formation, so he could retreat outside the camp with the army, but the other Qing troops surrounded him, and in the end they were defeated. Seeing that he couldn't attack, Liu Yingnan had no choice but to form a circular formation, hoping that Zhu Dashan and others would find out that the situation had changed to save him.

The sound of killing in the camp shook the sky, the soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties, the Ming army in order to survive, the Qing soldiers were urged by the general to attack, both sides were above to make all their efforts, but with the loss of time, the circle of the Ming Restoration Battalion is still shrinking, not only the Restoration Camp is only 500 people, but the circle is shrinking, but the Qing soldiers who can attack head-on are also few

Seeing this, Liu Yingnan pulled the wounded unresponsive soldiers into the middle of the road, let them rest, and narrowed the circle to allow the Qing soldiers to reduce the number of frontal attacks, but even so, in just two quarters of an hour, the soldiers of the Fuming Battalion had already suffered hundreds of casualties. Liu Yingnan turned his head to look outside the camp but there was still no movement, seeing that the soldiers under his command were constantly decreasing, Liu Yingnan was anxious.

Just when Liu Yingnan was in a hurry, suddenly the back of the Tang Games military formation suddenly sounded shouting and killing, and the Tang Games' military formation was also in chaos. Immediately, Liu Yingnan saw a group of people slaughtering them, only to see Cheng Deyi's Qing army rampant. Liu Yingnan was overjoyed and said: "Our reinforcements are coming, kill it" The morale of the soldiers of the Fuming Battalion was also instantly high.
