After walking for a short time, he heard a shout of killing in front of him, and Li Dingguo had already led the army to fight with the Ming army. Because Li Dingguo had already discovered the location of the Ming army, he led the 300 men to march and copy one by one, and when the general flag of the Ming army found that someone was sneak attacking, it was already surrounded on three sides.

Li Dingguo held an iron spear in his hand and was the first to rush into the formation of the Ming army.

Since the Ming army was dressed as ordinary people, they did not wear iron armor, but only leather armor in their clothes. According to the information sent by the Qin army, when Zhang Xianzhong returned to the camp, there were only four or five people around him, even if it was twice as many, it would not be able to defeat more than 100 officers and soldiers. So these people did not wear iron armor.

They gathered on both sides of the road early in the morning, waiting for Zhang Xianzhong to pass by, but Zhang Xianzhong did not wait, but hundreds of cavalry of the people's army were waiting. All of them are very fierce, especially the kid who leads the team, who looks like he is just a teenager, but the iron spear in his hand is powerful, and he rushed in like a black lightning.

The general flag saw that the situation was not good, and personally came to fight Li Dingguo, two horses and a confrontation, Li Dingguo stabbed with a spear, and the general flag blocked the horizontal knife, and wanted to seal the spear, but how did he know that Li Dingguo's spear was heavy, and it was useless to block this time, the spearhead was only slightly off, and he still stabbed over, and he originally wanted to stab the front of the general flag, which was biased, and pierced it from the underbelly.

With a bang, the tip of the spear came out of the back, and the general flag screamed, desperately grabbing the spear body with his hands, but how could he have Li Dingguo's strength, he was thrown up from the horse by Li Dingguo's arms, and threw it straight out, and fell to the ground with a thud, killing him instantly.

Li Dingguo's momentum like a god descending from heaven made the Ming army cold, these people knew that they had been ambushed, the ambusher had become an ambush, and the idea of taking Zhang Xianzhong's head to receive the reward had long been thrown out of the clouds, and the only thing he wanted to think about now was to rush out quickly and save his life.

So this group of Ming troops began to scatter and break through, Li Dingguo obeyed Zhang Xianzhong's order, and did not let the sergeants chase to the death, and the battle ended quickly, killing more than 70 Ming troops, and more than 20 people ran away.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong also came with people, cleaned up the battlefield, took some war sabers and guns, and swaggered back to the camp.

It wasn't until after the afternoon that these stripped Qin soldiers were rescued, wrapped in clothes, and returned to Huayin City to see Fan Ju. After these people told them what happened to them outside the city, Fan Ju stomped his feet and said to Ziyi: "We were fooled, we underestimated this Zhang Xianzhong, he had already ambushed his own responders, I think that the Ming army will not be cheap, you immediately take people out of the city to check, I think the twenty miles at this time must be full of dead bodies." ”

Ziyi took the order and took people away.

Fan Ju paced a few steps in the hall, only to feel that his head was buzzing as if he had been kicked by a donkey. What he is worried about now is not that he didn't kill Zhang Xianzhong, but the consequences of this incident.

With Zhang Xianzhong's shrewdness, he must have been aware of the ambush on the road, and when the time came, he would come to a counter-encirclement and kill the Ming soldiers and horses. On Hong Chengchou's side, he will think that this is a trap, and in the future, Qin Jun will be hated by Hong Chengchou, which is really unfavorable to him.

Therefore, what he was most eager to do was to come up with an idea to eliminate the doubts of the Ming army, and not to be suspected by the people's army of Zhang Xianzhong and others.

Thinking about it, a grim smile appeared on his lips.

Besides, the more than 20 escaped Ming troops, like lost dogs, galloped wildly, and ran to Xi'an, and they didn't even care about hitting the tip on the road, and finally returned to Xi'an City on the morning of the third day and saw Hong Chengchou.

As soon as Hong Chengchou saw their embarrassed appearance, he understood most of them, and after listening to them explain the details, he didn't blame them, and rewarded them with some silver, and then sent them to rest and recuperate.

Then, he ordered someone to find the guerrilla general Shi Kefa.

As soon as Shi Kefa entered the door, Hong Chengchou told him what had happened, and Shi Kefa frowned: "This is the trap of the Qin army." Hong Chengchou smiled: "Trap? Just to kill my 100 centaurs? Shi Kefa thought for a while: "It's obviously unreasonable to spend so much time just for a hundred people." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded: "It can only be said that Zhang Xianzhong does not trust the Qin army, and secretly ambushes his own men and horses to respond." However, we can put some pressure on the Qin army on this matter. After all, it was the Qin army's intelligence that was wrong. ”

Shi Kefa said: "This group of anti-thieves is stubborn and cunning, and what they say is not credible. ”

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "That's true, it's more cunning than them to deal with such an enemy." I have already figured out that it was the Eight Kings and Cao Cao who entered Sichuan this time, and the team of these two people was also mixed with some small leaders such as Xiao Tianxing, King of the Rolling Earth, and Lin Jianhu, so there was no need to worry. The only thing to worry about is that they have a large number of people, about 30,000 or 40,000 people, at present our elite soldiers are all in Henan, I have ordered Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu to return to Shaanxi in the starry night, before they are in the future, they must drag the thieves in one place, do not let them attack Kexian County, and stir up the world and the world. ”

Shi Kefa said: "But these thieves are mobile, and there is almost no practice of staying in one place for a long time, even if it is a siege, as long as the city is not broken for three or five days, they will immediately lead the army away, and it is not easy to drag them down?" ”

Hong Chengchou said: "It wasn't possible before, but now it can, in the whole of Shaanxi, there is only one place that can hold them back." ”

Shi Kefa thought for a while, and suddenly blurted out: "Xi'an?!" ”

Hong Chengchou laughed: "You are very smart, you really thought of it." Shi Kefa shook his head again and again: "This is too dangerous, if the thieves attack Xi'an, it must take the lives of adults, the guards in my city are less than 6,000 people, and it is really difficult to be sure if you want to resist tens of thousands of thieves." Hong Chengchou said: "As long as you can hold Xi'an for five days, the anti-thief will be broken." My Xi'an city has thick walls, strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient guards, and I am still very sure. ”

Shi Kefa saw that he had made up his mind, and it was not easy to persuade him again, and if he persuaded again, he would seem to be cowardly, so he said: "If the adult is looking for the young future, there will be a send." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Exactly, I want you to come out of the world, tomorrow, you take the three thousand men and horses in the city to Xianyang, I have already spread the wind, saying that there are sergeants there mutiny, you go to suppress it." After arriving in Xianyang, you leave a small number of people behind, and then bring these people back, remember, tomorrow the third watch will enter the east city gate, I have already greeted the door official, when the time comes, you will secretly enter the city, do not alarm anyone. ”

Shi Kefa nodded: "In this way, the thieves will know that there are three thousand men and horses in the city, and the guards must be empty, and if the guards are empty, it is a good time to attack." ”

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "All this must be done seamlessly, and no news can be leaked." ”

Shi Kefa handed over the order: "The young general will live up to the trust of the adult." ”

After Shi Kefa left, Hong Chengchou paced in the room, his brows were tightly locked, and in order to ensure that everything was safe, he called a scout again: "You take my big order, rush to Ansai in the starry night, Sun Chuanting is training there, and order him to come to the aid with the whole army." Don't delay. ”

He knew that it was not easy for 6,000 people to deal with the attack of tens of thousands of people, and the city of Xi'an was very large, and because of this, the city wall was long, and the four city walls were added up to dozens of miles long, and 6,000 people were divided together, and each battlement was two or three people, and the troops were really insufficient. Even if he could drive the strong men in the city to the city to defend together, it was a bit stretched, so if he wanted to hold Xi'an City for several days, he, the commander, really had to put a lot of effort into it.

But the risk is big, and the benefits are also great, as long as these tens of thousands of thieves can be dragged under the city of Xi'an, and when Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu arrive, it will be a battle of encirclement and annihilation. With the sophistication and ferocity of Guan Ning's iron cavalry and Zuo Liangyu's men and horses, it is naturally not a problem to deal with tens of thousands of rabble.

The only thing that is uncertain is Sun Chuanting, since this person went to Yulin, there are often reports from Tang, saying how many soldiers he has recruited, how well he practiced, and he really hasn't asked him for money and food, but he doesn't know how effective such a person is. can only hope for Sun Chuanting's ability.

On the morning of the next day, according to Hong Chengchou's arrangement, Shi Kefa took 3,000 men and horses, swaggered out of the city, and headed towards Xianyang. The news spread quickly.
