In the dim night, Zu Dashou, who stood on the wall of Dongzhimen and was guarded by more than 100 family members, stared at the bright company camp illuminated by torches outside the city.

Perhaps because they knew that the defenders in the city were weak, those rogues did not even erect a parapet outside the company camp, but only set up thousands of tents at random less than half a mile from the city wall.

"At least twenty or thirty thousand horses!"

Zu Dashou said to himself.

"If I had 5,000 elites, I would definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on the ...... of the rogues"

When this thought came to Zu Dashou's heart, he knew that the purpose of this battle was not to kill the enemy, but to break through the encirclement and send several princes, princesses and edicts out of the capital safely.

But the problem is that he is not the only one who wants to escape now!

"There will be a plan in the end, maybe I can help my uncle break the thief!"

The Dongzhi Gate guard on the side arched his hand to Zu Dashou and said.

……

With a whistling sound, I saw a series of meteors sliding across the inky black night sky, scattering over the company camp for several miles, and the rockets dragging the flames cut through the night sky like meteors, and scattered to the ground like heavenly maidens, some of them smashed on the ground, and they were extinguished in an instant. Some of them hit the tarpaulin tent and caused a fire.

"Enemy attack, brethren, rise up and meet the battle!"

Immediately there was a loud shout in the camp. It wasn't some meteor or a celestial maiden, but someone was using rockets to attack the camp.

At the same time, thousands of meteors followed, this is Jingying's rocket - a swarm, this kind of rocket has no accuracy, and even the power is very average, but it is okay to use it for arson. In fact, if they set up the tents farther away, even if they were half a mile away, the rockets would not be able to reach them, but now under the rain of arrows, the company camp has burned to the ground.

With a whistling sound, thousands of rockets brought the flame of death into the barracks, the people in the tent were awakened, they jumped out wearing a piece of clothing, they were terrified to find that they had been lit around, and from time to time there were rockets falling on them, but its power was limited, that is, it brought some flesh wounds, but even so, it still caused panic in the barracks, and the fire around it made people instinctively scream. Soon, the screams mingled and caused chaos in the barracks.

In the twilight, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves echoed in the night, and hundreds of cavalry came out of the city, swept through the camp like a whirlwind, and as they swept through the camp, they fired countless rockets into the camp and into the tents. The burning tents allowed the flames to spread rapidly through the barracks, and in the flames, thousands of rogues rushed out, crying and fleeing in all directions, and their escape spread panic around.

"Stop, there are few enemies, don't run away, work together to kill them!"

Some of the officials were in a hurry, and they shouted at the top of their lungs. The number of enemy troops cannot be too large, otherwise the officers and soldiers would have been out of the city a long time ago, so why wait until now?

Seeing that the officers and soldiers suddenly set fire, this can only show that there are not many people who came, and it may be to take advantage of the chaos to break through. However, all this was in vain, after all, in the camp, there were still more than 100,000 people who had just been forcibly conscripted into the army in Shanxi.

"Don't run away, pass on my orders, and those who flee will be killed!"

In the crowd of people fleeing in terror, there were people shouting hoarsely, but no one listened to him, and the frightened people joined in the flight of the rockets flying in all directions.

"Stop, kill back, the enemy army is less than a thousand! Kill them, and tomorrow will be rewarded...... If you run again, you will not be spared! ”

In the past, when the officials killed people and established their authority, they could always frighten the people who were forcibly conscripted to stand in place and not dare to move. But today, this method did not work, even if he swung a knife and cut down a few deserters, the other escapees exploded like flies. Blood did not stir up their courage, the only effect was to make them flee towards the surroundings. As they fled, they shouted in Shandong's dialect.

"Run. The officers and soldiers are coming, and the swords and guns are not long-sighted! ”

"Guan Ning Iron Cavalry is coming, it's too late if you don't run!"

Amid the shouts of the deserters, these men did not even see the shadow of the enemy, and more than two-thirds of them fled in all directions.

And when they fled, thousands of cavalry guarded several carriages, all the way to the east to kill, no one along the way stepped forward to stop them, the people who were forcibly conscripted did not have the idea of killing the enemy at all, as for the old pawns, in this chaos, they could not organize an effective blockade of the enemy.

As the cavalry fled eastward, they continued to set fire to the camp, and almost all the tents near the outside of the camp burst into flames, some of which were ignited by rockets by the sneak attackers, and some of which were ignited by sparks swept in the wind.

The wind fuels the fire, the fire borrows the power of the wind, and the fire burns half of the sky.

In the midst of this blazing fire, more than a thousand cavalry were rapidly advancing. The scattered rogues could not organize effective resistance at all, and there were sporadic people blocking in front of their horses, either being shot down by random arrows, or being hacked to death by knives, and pierced by spears, these more than 1,000 family members, all of them were experienced elites, they rushed to kill extremely decisively, those rogues had no armor at all, and the long knives cut them to pieces easily, as for the feather arrows shot by the rogues, they were shot to their iron armor, but they did not bring the slightest damage.

"Kill the thief!"

The rider on horseback swung his knife and slashed, knocking the fugitives in his way to the ground. Crimson blood splattered and glowed in the flames, and in the midst of the screams, some writhed their wounded bodies and tried to flee to the side, but the horses' hooves trampled mercilessly on them, and the flesh and bones were broken, and the wounded died......

Despite the deserters blocking the way, the four-legged horses always outpaced the two-legged men, and the cavalry ran like a whirlwind through the camp of the rogues and towards the east.

They didn't fight the rogues at all, but went east without stopping, except for the unlucky ones, who were hacked to death in front of them, and then trampled into flesh by the horses' hooves.

The instinct to survive caused the deserters to flee away from the cavalry. As thousands of rogues fled, a group of cavalry came running in the distance. Li Guo, who led five thousand elite horsemen, happened to pass here, and after discovering the chaos here, Li Guo immediately led his troops to kill him.

"Kill it!"

After discovering the cavalry, Zu Dashou just waved his sword, and Zu Mingsan beside him rode his horse and led the troops to rush towards those cavalry, and they also chased and slashed the scattered rogues along the way. The cavalry brandished their sabers to catch up from behind the rogue and cut down the fugitives to the ground one by one, they scattered into a half-moon shape, intentionally or unintentionally driving those rogue robbers, driving them towards the rogue cavalry, just like the cavalry of the eastern captives drove the fleeing Ming army and let them storm the main formation, so that these rogue robbers could "resist the enemy" for them. The rogue who was slashed and killed, no one dared to turn back to face the battle, but fled forward in horror, and then ran into their own cavalry, although it was their own people, but those cavalry could also do it, they directly slashed and killed the rogue who rushed over with their knives, and they were not merciful at all because they were their own people.

For a time, the heavens and the earth were full of screams,

The scene in front of him made Zu Mingsan's heart tremble, especially when he saw through the light of the fire that there were more than 3,000 cavalry in the team of cavalry that had been killed, and all of them were wearing armor, his heart immediately tightened.

"This, this, it's really unlucky, I ran into the elite cavalry of the thieves!"

Despite this, Zu Mingsan still led more than 100 cavalry to rush towards these thief cavalry, looking at the enemy cavalry rushing over, Li Guo, who was in the lead, commanded the deputy general beside him.

"Li Chengye, you lead the troops to kill the past, and the others follow me to chase and kill the fleeing enemy......"

Li Guo, who is not in love with war at all, has only one thought left in his heart - to catch up with the fleeing enemy!

The emperor of the Ming Kingdom may be there......
