Last night, Xu Yixian and Zhang Xianzhong agreed on a plan for a surprise attack on Zuo Liangyu Xingyuan in Pingli County, and were preparing to go to Zhang Kewang's station in Jiuluanping early this morning. At this time, Xu Yixian had already finished grooming and dressing, and all the relatives and soldiers also took out the war horses from the backyard and were ready to go in the courtyard.

Suddenly hearing the shouts from outside, Xu Yixian was taken aback, and as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw a large number of officers and soldiers killing here like a tide.

Xu Yixian ran back and shouted to everyone: "Quick! Hurry back! ”

Under the command of Xu Yixian, everyone quickly retreated to the courtyard, closed the door, and firmly pressed the door with stones from the inside.

As soon as these were done, the officers and soldiers surrounded the courtyard, Xu Yixian immediately made a decision, and ordered everyone including the groom and the cook to climb the slope of the house, and use bows and crossbows to keep firing arrows at the enemies outside the courtyard wall, and those who did not have bows and crossbows were thrown downward with bricks and stones.

At the same time, after hearing the shouts of killing, Dingguo did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately left Da Chun and ten personal soldiers to protect Xianglian's mother and son, and then led the rest of the personal soldiers out of the courtyard.

The officers and soldiers who robbed the camp had already entered the old camp, and there were enemies everywhere in all directions, although the soldiers of the western camp were fighting separately, they were all brave and resisting desperately, and for a while the shouts, gasps, and swords were intertwined and mixed together.

Seeing this, Dingguo roared and joined the battle array with all his personal soldiers. I didn't think that at this moment, "Erdoujin" suddenly became anxious again, and kept hissing in the direction of the officials and troops in front.

Just now, Liu Guoneng was about to lead his troops to attack Zhang Xianzhong's house, but he was unprepared and Dingguo rushed out from the left with his own soldiers, killing and slashing in his back, and in desperation, Liu Guoneng had to turn around again and deal with this sudden rebel army.

This white-knuckle battle was completely unexpected by Liu Guoneng, who originally thought that this small group of Xiying rebels would quickly collapse under his own offensive, but he didn't expect this group of people to be so brave and tenacious, they just bit them to the death, and they didn't retreat.

Liu Guoneng saw that he couldn't solve this small group of Xiying rebels for a long time, and he was anxious, he was afraid that he would delay here for too long and let Zhang Xianzhong go, so he decided to go into battle in person.

At the same time that Dingguo found Liu Guoneng, Liu Guoneng also saw Dingguo, the master and apprentice reunited after a long absence, but they didn't expect to meet again in such a scene, Liu Guoneng raised his long knife high, and greeted Dingguo loudly through the warring crowd: "Ning Yu and my apprentice, do you remember Master?" Agate Mountain has been surrounded by the imperial army, don't do any more useless resistance, if you are willing to surrender, the foolish master will protect you as a general in front of Lord Zhentai! ”

Dingguo was furious, jumped on his horse with a gun, and came straight to Liu Guoneng through the crowd: "The traitor is gone!" Eat Me a Shot! ”

"Fool, your marksmanship is all taught by the teacher, you can't beat the teacher!" Liu Guoneng was very fond of Dingguo, and he didn't want to fight with him, so while talking, he opened Dingguo's plum blossom gun with a knife.

"So what? Unless you step on the corpse of the master, you don't want to take another step! The horse hit a face, Dingguo reined in the horse and turned around, raised his gun and stabbed at Liu Guoneng again.

Liu Guoneng unhurriedly turned to the side and easily dodged, but when he saw a flash of cold light, the coldness was pressing, Liu Guoneng couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, and hurriedly took a closer look at the blade in Dingguo's hand, and immediately praised: "Good guy, the long-lost plum blossom gun is all given by your kid!" ”

Dingguo clenched the plum blossom gun with both hands, and shouted: "Since you know, I will use this plum blossom gun to send you on the road today, and it is not in vain that I have been a master and apprentice!" ”

"Haha, Ning Yu is a disciple! In the past, I always said that you are too soft-hearted, see you today, you should really be impressed! Yes, yes, this is what a man should look like! My old Liu really likes you more and more! While talking and laughing, Liu Guoneng once again easily dodged Dingguo's offensive.

Dingguo was about to attack again, but at this moment, "Erdoujin" suddenly screamed at Liu Guoneng again, just like meeting an old friend who had been reunited for a long time, no matter how Dingguo drove him, he just stood in place and spewed rough air, and refused to move.

Liu Guoneng then put his left index finger and thumb to his mouth, and whistled softly at "Erdoujin", and "Erdoujin" instantly quieted down after hearing Liu Guoneng's whistle.

"Liu Guoneng! Are you so willing to be the eagle dog of the court? Dingguo never understood why the leader of the rebel army, who was as famous as King Chuang and his father, surrendered to the official army with all his heart.

Liu Guoneng sighed slightly, and confided in Dingguo: "Ning Yu, I know that you look down on my old Liu and betrayed our rebels, but now that Jianyu is eyeing the gates, even a horse still knows that he is attached to the old master, you and I are the people of the Ming Dynasty, at this time of national crisis, we should serve the country, how can he?" What's the point of being a first-class Kou for the rest of your life? ”

Liu Guoneng's words, although there was a trace of touch in Dingguo's heart, but his father was as kind to himself as a mountain, how could there be a reason for betrayal, thinking of this, Dingguo no longer thought about it, and clipped the "two buckets of gold" horse belly, and yelled at Liu Guoneng: "No need to say more, look at the gun!" ”

The contradictory look in Dingguo's eyes flashed, Liu Guoneng was secretly saying that there was a play, and he was just about to continue to persuade again, but who knew that Dingguo suddenly raised his gun and stabbed it straight towards his throat, and he was defenseless for a while, and in a panic, he hurriedly grabbed the reins, leaned back and lay down on the horse's back, and then he dodged in a thrilling way.

Liu Guoneng pulled the reins, sat up again, and scolded: "Stinky boy, sneak attack Master? Deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, you! If you are so rude again, Master will fight back! ”

However, at this moment, Dingguo has already made up his mind and no longer pays attention to Liu Guoneng.

Seeing that Dingguo was unmoved, Liu Guoneng finally gave up his plan to persuade him to surrender, but he thought about the master-apprentice relationship back then, and a big knife danced in front of him, but he always only defended and did not attack.

The two fought for about a dozen rounds, and Dingguo felt that he was restrained everywhere, and before he finished using one move, Liu Guoneng was able to predict the position of his next move in advance, and he couldn't defeat it at all.

Liu Guoneng's target was Zhang Xianzhong, but he was dragged by Dingguo here, wasting too much time, so he didn't want to entangle with Dingguo too much, only to see Liu Guoneng suddenly turn defense into offense, and slashed at Dingguo's front door.

Because Liu Guoneng had been on the defensive before, this knife suddenly struck, as fast as thunder and lightning, Dingguo was a little caught off guard, and hurriedly raised his gun to block it.

Unexpectedly, Liu Guoneng just shook a knife, the knife slashed into the air, and he suddenly put the knife back, then turned the horse's head and kicked the dust away.

Dingguo came back to his senses and just wanted to chase after him, but he was surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers and couldn't get out.

The war gradually spread to the front of Zhang Xianzhong's house, which was the largest in the cottage, and there were more than 400 people living in it, of which forty or fifty were women.

At this time, Wang Shangli had just gotten up, and when he learned that the official army had attacked the old camp, he hurriedly rushed out of the house with a knife, only to see that the courtyard was full of soldiers from the West Camp who rushed out shirtless and shirtless.

When he rushed to the gate, there were already more than 100 people gathered around him, and the rest of the guards were also coming one after another. As the officers and troops arrived in an instant, the two sides immediately launched a tragic tug-of-war in front of the door.

When the shouts outside the courtyard sounded, Zhang Xianzhong was resting in the room of the eldest lady Gao, when he heard the sound, he hurriedly jumped up from the bed, and before he had time to light the lamp, he grabbed a jacket and draped it on his body, and turned around to find his "heavenly flying knife", but he groped in the dark for a long time and did not find it.

Only then did he remember that he had placed the knife at the head of Mrs. Ding's bed yesterday and had not brought it with him.

Time was pressing, where was there still time to go to Mrs. Ding's house again, so Zhang Xianzhong casually touched a knife, pushed open the door and came to the courtyard. After a fierce battle just now, the guards who blocked the gate of the courtyard were already dead and wounded at this time, and only sporadic resistance remained.

Zhang Xianzhong was wearing the armor brought by his own soldiers, and shouted to Wang Shangli, the head of the old battalion who was still struggling to support: "Bird! Close the door! ”

Hearing Zhang Xianzhong's shout, more than a dozen guards rushed out of the gate in an instant, desperately blocking the official army. Taking advantage of the moments that these dozen brothers had earned with their lives, Wang Shangli quickly ordered someone to close the door with tears in his eyes, and brought tables and chairs to block behind the door.

"Respectfully! It won't last long! Get out of the back! Wang Shangli saw that Zhang Xianzhong was still standing in the center of the courtyard commanding, and hurriedly shouted at him.

Zhang Xianzhong glanced at Wang Shangli, hugged his fist at him, and then turned around and ran to the backyard alone. In the backyard, Zhang Xianzhong found a relatively low courtyard wall, pulled his hand to the wall, and was about to climb up with his body.

Suddenly, Zhang Xianzhong felt that his body was sinking, and he hurriedly looked down, but he was hugged by the Gao family.

The Gao clan grabbed Zhang Xianzhong's armor tightly with one hand, hugged Zhang Xianzhong's thigh with the other, and cried: "Jingxuan, don't leave me!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong roared angrily: "Stinky woman, when is it?" But I can't take care of you! Let me go! ”

Seeing that the Gao family still refused to let go, Zhang Xianzhong swung his knife and slashed down, cutting off a large piece of robe in an instant. Gao's hand was clenched tightly, and he was unprepared for the sudden tear of his robe, and he leaned back according to inertia, and sat on the ground with his buttocks.

Taking advantage of Gao's letting go, Zhang Xianzhong violently exerted his strength upwards and climbed over the low wall, leaving Gao alone sitting on the ground and crying.

Zhang Xianzhong had just escaped over the wall, and the door of the house over there was also knocked open by the officials and soldiers, and countless officers and soldiers rushed in under the leadership of Liu Guoneng, killing everyone they met, and shouting incessantly: "Don't let Zhang Xianzhong go!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong turned out of the courtyard and ran all the way to the direction of Houzhai Gate, and in a blink of an eye, more than 300 Xiying soldiers gathered around him again. However, at this time, all the walls were occupied by the official army, and shouts were heard from all directions, reminding Zhang Xianzhong that he had no way out.

In desperation, Zhang Xianzhong had to turn his head again and look elsewhere for a way out.

Under the siege of the official army one after another, Dingguo was already suffering many stab wounds, and the brothers around him gradually suffered casualties. At this critical juncture, Zhang Nengqi led two hundred personal soldiers to arrive in time.

Seeing Zhang Nengqi, Dingguo suddenly became courageous, commanded everyone to fight and retreat, and retreated all the way to the steps in front of the house, leaning against the courtyard wall, and continued to fight with the officials and soldiers.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong also rushed here with the remnants, and the three of them joined forces, seeing that Zhang Xianzhong was safe and sound, Dingguo and Zhang Nengqi both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, there are officers and soldiers everywhere, what should I do?" Dingguo shouted at Zhang Xianzhong.

"The matter has come to this, and let's kill the officers and troops in front of you!" Zhang Xianzhong's eyes showed a desperate feeling of trapped beasts, "Brothers, follow my old Zhang to kill!" ”

Encouraged by Zhang Xianzhong, the morale of all the soldiers was suddenly boosted, and they shouted in unison and rushed to the officers and soldiers again.

The official army will make a comeback at any time, without further ado, Dingguo wiped the blood from his face, quickly turned around and rushed into the house, found Xianglian's mother and son hiding in the house, and then rescued Wang Guoren and Ma Siliang and dozens of other brothers from the courtyard next to them.

Everyone gathered together, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
