On the second day of August, it returned to Ningling County, Defu.

Lin Jianfeng, the commander of the scout battalion, carefully brushed away the dead branches in front of him, lay on his elbows in a bush with his hands and elbows, and looked forward from the binoculars in his hand, more than a dozen cavalrymen in various clothes were swaying in the woods ahead.

"Pay attention to concealment, it is a thief's scout."

Lin Jianfeng lowered his voice and said a word backwards, carefully observing the movement in front of him again.

"One, two, three、......, twenty in total."

At the same time as Lin Jianfeng was observing, beside him, Deputy Tun Chief Cheng Jianwen also sneaked over.

"Tun Chief, what should I do?"

Hearing that there were only twenty people on the enemy's side, Cheng Jianwen and a group of soldiers from the scout battalion all looked at Lin Jianfeng with blank eyes.

Unlike the regular army wearing the fat jacket of the big red mandarin duck, Lin Jianfeng and the others wore clothes mixed with various green patterns, which was very hidden in the woods where they were.

Lin Jianfeng bit his lip and looked at the rogue detective horse two miles away on the opposite side again, and finally punched the ground.

"Damn, fuck it, monkey and crow, if the war is unfavorable later, you will immediately mount and report from behind the woods, and the rest of me will ambush these thieves."

"Hehe, it's credit again", Cheng Jianwen laughed strangely, and then took off the Longxiang three-style musket on his shoulder.

The vicinity of Ningling is almost all plains, but because of the turmoil, most of the rich and fertile farmland in the past is overgrown with weeds, and there are scattered miscellaneous forests everywhere, which gives Cheng Jianwen and others a chance.

Liukou probably didn't expect Liu Ximing's army to be so fast, almost the second day of the joint venture, so although these twenty rogues looked like they were old in this way, they were more absent-minded after all.

In just a few minutes, this group of rogue scouts came to the vicinity of the forest where Lin Jianfeng and the others were, the forest where they were located was the densest, and it was a good place to escape the heat.

However, when the group had reached eighty paces from the woods, they suddenly heard a shout from the woods, "Shoot." ”

"Bang", "Bang"

Bullets whizzed through the woods in all directions, knocking seven people to the ground in one fell swoop.

"There is an ambush, retreat quickly."

The leader of the rogue's scouts reacted quickly, and immediately shouted to urge the horse to turn around.

It's a pity that Lin Jianfeng and the others quickly completed the second round of reloading, and a dense rain of bullets formed by thirty people in a tun came in an instant, directly enveloping all the places where these gangs of rogues were.

"Yu~~"

Wandering horses were constantly being hit, and people were shouting and neighing in the woods.

A few of the thieves who saw that they could not run away suddenly turned red, and instead of running back, they shouted and rode their horses directly into the woods.

But before they could see the figures, several bullets tossed them off their horses like hammers.

"Stop shooting!"

Lin Jianfeng looked through the layers of leaves, and saw that all the thieves at the edge of the woods in front of him were knocked to the ground, and immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to follow.

On the muddy ground covered with rotten leaves and dead branches, more than a dozen rogues and scouts kept moaning in pain, and seeing that there was no danger, Lin Jianfeng and the others quickly restrained this group of people.

"Say, where has the army of rogues gone?"

"I said, I said, the army is five miles behind us."

Hearing this, Lin Jianfeng and Cheng Jianwen were both shocked.

In this way, isn't the rogue's army close at hand?

Lin Jianfeng suddenly couldn't sit still, he gave a look to the brothers who were guarding the captives, stood up and looked at Cheng Jianwen and said:

"I didn't expect to run into thieves here, I propose, send someone back to report first, and then let's get closer to investigate."

"Okay, I'm okay."

A few minutes later, several screams were heard in the woods, and a dozen horses from each east and west rushed out.

Seven miles west of Ningling County, Liu Ximing was marching west with the army in small steps, and suddenly heard a report from Tanmalai that Liukou was ten miles west of the army.

"The superintendent has an order, the whole army stops, and prepares for battle!"

Dozens of guards immediately rushed out of Liu Xi's military camp and shouted loudly for orders.

The large army, which had been marching in the long snake formation, immediately stirred, and soon changed its formation horizontally under the command of their respective officers.

Cao Bianjiao, Shao Derong and others have been mixed in the official army for so long, and it is not without harvest that they have gained from their 60,000 troops, of which 40,000 are cavalry, and 20,000 are infantry.

It was precisely in view of this that Liu Ximing specially ordered the reorganization of the troops.

However, in view of the imminent battle, he did not make too many adjustments, but specifically said that the cavalry troops were concentrated under the command of Cao Bianjiao and Shao Derong, in order to play a stronger role.

As soon as the military ordered, Cao Bianjiao and Shao Derong's subordinates immediately reacted, wearing armor and feeding the tail of the horse.

Among the Chinese army, Liu Ximing looked at Lin Jianfeng, the scout battalion who came to report back, with great excitement.

"How did the rogues react, how did they march?"

"Report to the Inspector, the Liukou has not yet discovered our news, and is now marching towards our army along the official road."

Liu Ximing was overjoyed when he heard this, "God help me, hurry up and invite General Cao and General Shao." ”

After a while, Liu Xi's army was divided into two cavalry, led by Cao Bianjiao on the left and Shao Derong on the right, each leading 10,000 well-prepared cavalry in an arc to rush towards the Liukou.

In the Liukou camp, Luo Rucai held the little lady of the Zhou Wangfu who had just been snatched from Kaifeng City with both hands, and swaggered on the eight-lift sedan chair that was also snatched from the Zhou Wangfu.

But before another watery maid from the palace next to the sedan chair fed him a grape, a cloud of dust suddenly rose in the direction of about ten miles to the east.

Before Luo Ru could be vigilant, he suddenly found that the pretty girl he was holding trembled slightly.

"What's the situation?"

"Yes, there are cavalry!"

A heart-rending sound rang out, and the rogue army, which was marching slowly, instantly became panicked.

"Don't panic, don't panic, hurry up and end the formation!"

Luo Rucai suddenly pulled out his hands and directly flipped the two little ladies over from the sedan chair.

Before he got out of the sedan chair, he immediately climbed onto his mount and called out to his entire team of henchmen.

Looking from the sky above the west of Ningling County, the two cavalry led by Cao Bianjiao and Shao Derong suddenly appeared on the left and right sides of the Liukou army in a cloud of smoke and dust.

At this time, Luo Rucai and others gathered the Chinese army, and as for the soldiers and horses on both wings, they were mostly cannon fodder, so naturally no one could take care of it at this time.

"Charge!"

Cao Bianjiao, who had just rushed over from a barren wheat field, looked at the panicked wings of Luo Rucai's department, and the fierce general of the world was instantly happy.

Under his leadership, the 10,000 cavalry behind him thrust like sharp swords directly into the middle of the Liukou's right flank.

The spears glowing with silver light were like the gods of death, taking away lives one by one in the sound of horses' hooves.

"Kill the thief!"

At this time, the men and horses brought by Shao Derong also successfully rushed to the left flank of the Liukou, and unlike Cao Bianjiao's department, Shao Derong was best at using firearms, but at this time there was no chance to use firearms, and the whole army was stunned to the left flank of the Liukou.

"Mother!"

"Array, array!"

There was chaos in the rogue army, with shouts, fights, and orders one after another.

However, although the two wings were chaotic, the Chinese army where Luo Rucai's elite was located was completed in time.

After all, the army of Liukou was 150,000 strong, and with the strong support from the Chinese army, the two wings, which had already collapsed, gradually gained a stable trend.

However, before Luo Rucai and his group of men could be happy, a shout erupted again in front of the Liukou army.

"Kill the thief!"

At the critical moment, Zheng Jingcai arrived smoothly with the remaining cavalry troops.

The remaining 20,000 cavalry had also finished the battle at this time, and with an order from the Chinese army, 20,000 people rushed into the Liukou army formation like a follow-up tide, following the gap exposed under the impact of Cao Bianjiao and others.

As for the 25,000 infantry under Liu Xi's command, they were still moving in small steps towards the battlefield at the moment.

In the Liukou Army, Luo Rucai's face instantly turned pale.

"The scout camp on dog days, what is it for, so that the officers and soldiers don't know when they get close, it's better to raise a dog than to keep you."

"Come, pass on my orders, and send 10,000 men to the two wings to support."
