The rear camp of the men and horses was inhabited by the wounded and sick, family members, men, grooms, miscellaneous servants and others, because there was no war at this time, so there were no wounded, Sun Chuanting also ordered that no family members were allowed in the army, which was different from the peasant army.

Sun Mengdie arrived at the back camp, approached a big tent, and coughed dryly, meaning to inform the people inside, and sure enough, a voice came from inside: "It's Miss Sun, please come in, please come in." Sun Mengdie lifted the curtain and walked in, and then heard her say: "Zhao Gongzi, don't you get up, are you feeling better lately?" ”

It turned out to be a patient, and I don't know who it was.

After a long time, Sun Mengdie came out, her face was flushed, she smiled secretly as she walked, and her steps were brisk.

She walked back to her tent, but she didn't see her father looking at her from behind, smiling as he could.

Sun Chuanting didn't see his daughter anymore, so he coughed lightly into the darkness: "Come out." ”

With the voice, a person came out of the shadows, it was Sun Chuanting's personal soldier, he came to Sun Chuanting, bowed down, and saluted: "Master." Sun Chuanting asked in a low voice: "How is the surname Zhao, but what is abnormal?" ”

The soldier replied: "There is nothing abnormal, just recuperation." Sun Chuanting asked, "What about the person next to him?" The soldier said: "It's also normal, just serving the surnamed Zhao, never staying away." ”

Sun Chuanting nodded: "Okay, you go, you don't have to say anything, just star." ”

The soldiers left, and a trace of worry gradually rose in Sun Chuanting's eyes.

The next day was another long day, Hong Chengchou was still supervising the battle at the head of the city, and the Ming army under his command resisted desperately one by one, desperately fighting for themselves, and the peasant army still did not take much advantage of this day, with more than 2,000 dead and wounded, but the officers and soldiers also suffered more than 1,000 casualties, just two days, and the soldiers in the city were less than half.

Hong Chengchou knows that tomorrow will be the most important day, calculate the days, if Zuo Liangyu and Cao Wenzhao don't arrive tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow at the latest, they will definitely arrive. So he had to go up for another day.

Although the officers and soldiers in the city suffered heavy casualties, their morale was not low, first, Hong Chengchou personally supervised the battle, and secondly, everyone knew that reinforcements were coming, and one more moment of hope would be one more moment.

Unlike in the city, the peasant army began to get a little anxious.

That night, Zhang Xianzhong and other leaders were eating together and discussing the military situation.

Xu Yixian said: "In the past two days, I have been watching, and I feel that we have fallen for Hong Chengchou." Zhang Xianzhong took a sip: "Lao Hong fights, he has some ghost ideas, and at the moment, it seems that he sent 3,000 men and horses to quell the chaos, most of which are false." The centaurs didn't pull it away at all. Xu Yixian nodded: "The marshal is right, if there are only three thousand people, we will kill and wound three or four thousand of them in the past two days, but the soldiers said that there are still a lot of officers and soldiers in the city." ”

Luo Rucai said slowly: "That's nothing, today Lao Hong has transferred a lot of strong men, and there are not many officers and soldiers in the city." ”

Li Yan nodded: "Yes, let's work hard tomorrow, and we are still sure to take Xi'an City." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, and stopped outside the tent, and then a guard said, "The red girl is here......"

Together with the curtains, the red lady walked in from outside, her little face was red from the cold, and she held a letter in her hand.

Li Yan hurriedly greeted him: "The weather is too cold, come and roast the fire, don't freeze it......"

The red lady was very moved in her heart, Li Yan didn't ask her what was urgent, first of all, she cared about her warmth and coldness, which made her heart warm.

As soon as Li Yan said this, others also said: "Yes, yes, yes, the girl's family is thin, come and roast, there is still wine here, drink a few glasses to heat it quickly." ”

The red lady smiled: "Don't worry about me, let's take a look at this letter first." ”

As she spoke, she handed the letter to Li Yan, and then sat down on the edge of the fire by herself, stretching out her hand to bake the fire.

Li Yan did not open the letter, but handed it directly to Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong opened the letter and looked at it, couldn't help frowning, and said to himself: "Damn, it came quite quickly......

Luo Rucai took the letter, only to see that it was written at the beginning: Huayin Fan Ju presented several leaders......

He said coldly: "It's a letter from Qin Jun, I'll take a look...... Not! The letter said that Zuo Liangyu had bypassed Huayin and rushed to calculate the day, and he would arrive the morning after tomorrow at the latest. It is also written that Cao Wenzhao has crossed the Yellow River from Wild Wolf Beach and is about to arrive. ”

He closed the letter and threw it on the table: "Old Hongpan, this is it." ”

Zhang Xianzhong tightened his eyebrows: "His grandmother's, the most difficult enemies are here, it seems that Lao Hong is iron-hearted and wants our brother's life." ”

Li Yan said: "Is this Cao Wenzhao as powerful as Zuo Liangyu?" ”

Luo Rucai shook his head: "It's not ordinary, it's even more powerful, he has 3,000 Guan Ning iron horsemen, he is the most powerful man and horse in the Ming Dynasty, last year, Li Dusi's 30,000 horses, beat Cao Wenzhao's 3,000 people, but he was not impressed, but was eaten by others one bite at a time, like gnawing on rao cakes, eating cleanly, not even a sesame grain left." ”

Li Yan said: "From this point of view, Hong Chengchou is full of confidence and will gather us under the city of Xi'an." ”

Zhang Xianzhong scolded: "Gather a bird!" Lao Tzu will break his Xi'an City tomorrow and dismantle him in eight pieces first. Luo Rucai said with a smile: "It's easy to say, tomorrow we are desperate, and we may not be able to attack the city, although there are not many officers and soldiers in Xi'an City, but there are 100,000 people, Lao Hong wants to drive the young and middle-aged people to the city to fight with us, and we can support it for a few days." ”

Li Yan said: "Luo Shuai is right, we have to find another way." ”

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the letter on the table again, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Cao Cao, how did you think Emperor Guan cut the car back then?" ”

Luo Rucai was stunned: "Why did you suddenly talk about this?" Emperor Guan is a car that earns the city. ”

Zhang Xianzhong patted his thigh: "Yes, we might as well learn from Emperor Guan today." Luo Rucai thought for a while and said: "Do you want to borrow the official army to earn the ...... of opening the city gate" Zhang Xianzhong said: "Exactly, Zuo Liangyu is about to arrive, let's pretend to be his people, come to the city, kill us, and kill us miserably. ”

Luo Rucai nodded again and again: "Good plan, as soon as he leaves the city, we will surround him and capture his old boy alive." Zhang Xianzhong said: "Even if he doesn't go out of the city, as long as the city gate is opened, our people will go in, and the inside and outside should be together, and it will not be difficult to break the city." ”

The more the two of them talked, the more excited they became, but Li Yan shook his head on the side.

Zhang Xianzhong found out and asked, "Li Gongzi, do you think it's feasible?" Li Yan didn't hide it: "It's not feasible, Hong Chengchou is not a car, this person is treacherous and slippery, thoughtful, and the trick of earning the city is just afraid that it will not be good." ”

Luo Rucai said: "Anyway, you can give it a try." Zhang Xianzhong said: "Yes, the left and right will not attack the city tonight, and it is okay to be idle, in case it can be better, if it fails, it will be used as a training army." ”

The two didn't listen to Li Yan's advice, and went to arrange it in a hurry. Li Yan and the red lady looked at each other and laughed.

Not long after, sure enough, I heard the golden drum in the distance, shouting to kill the sky, the fire was flourishing, Li Yan and the red lady walked out of the camp tent to take a look, and saw the city of Xi'an in the distance, countless people were killed, and about thousands of cavalry galloped across the sky and rushed to the city gate. Looking at those infantry, they were all peasant troops, and they were killed and scattered and fled, and they were embarrassed.

Just looking at the formation, it does look like reinforcements from the official army are coming.

Li Yan looked at the sky-high fire in the distance, and said with a smile: "I'll make a bet with you, in less than half an hour, Zhang Luo and the others will have to come back, and they won't be able to enter the city." The red lady said: "Maybe I can succeed, Hong Chengchou has been looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements in the morning, and now he must be very happy to see this formation, maybe he will be negligent." ”

Li Yan shook his head: "Hong Chengchou is a person who is very organized and premeditated in everything he does, and he is very cautious about sudden things. Don't you believe it? ”

The red lady said: "I believe in this, but the wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake, this thing is not accurate." ”

Li Yan turned his gaze back: "How are our people?" Listen to you? ”

The red lady said: "Listen, they all say that I am ...... It's yours...... Save your benefactor ......" Speaking of this, her face turned red, but fortunately the fire was shining in the distance, and she couldn't see it: "Since it is your benefactor, it is also their benefactor." That's why my prestige is still high, so be careful. ”
