The moonlight is very light, and the west mountains of Honggang Village are shrouded in black. Ma Ba stood at the front of the queue in leather armor, and behind him was a team like a long snake, which was constantly descending the mountain, converging on the flat ground, and in a quarter of an hour, nearly a thousand people covered the flat ground.

The mountain road was impassable for horses, and all the Tiantian troops who sneaked into Honggang Village were on foot, including the general Rao Qiangfeng. The road was relatively safe, Ma Ba led the way to bypass the military town and the hidden checkpoints, and 5,000 people quietly passed through the encirclement of the official army.

Rao Qiangfeng came to Ma Ba's side with an axe and asked, "General Ma, is this Honggang Village, and how far is it from the baggage camp of the official army?" ”

Ma Ba said: "General, from here to the baggage camp, if you take the official road, it is about sixty miles, but there is a small road that can be directly crossed, about forty miles." ”

Rao Qiangfeng looked at the sky, it was the end of Yin, it had taken nearly four hours from the garrison of Pansnake Mountain to here, and the soldiers were exhausted, and it was impossible to march in a hurry to attack the camp. Rao Qiangfeng said: "The army is going to be stationed in Honggang Village, General Ma, you are a local, I will give you a thousand men and horses, you go into the town first, and prepare food and accommodation for the brothers." ”

Honggang Village is very remote, hidden between the mountains and forests, there are only more than 100 households, in addition to the merchants who collect medicinal materials and mountain goods, few people come, they are self-sufficient to eat and use on weekdays, seven miles away is Xinghua Town, and only four or nine villages will go to the town.

Ma Ba led the people into the village, and the barking of the dog sounded, which quickly subsided. More than half an hour later, when Rao Qiangfeng led the army into the village, every household turned on the lights and looked at the troops who entered the town in horror. Ma Ba found Wang Lizheng, and did not hide the news of the crossing of the Heavenly Army, and asked him to ask the people in the village to prepare meals and vacate the room for the Heavenly Army to rest.

Wang Lizheng knew that the lives of the whole village were in a thought, who was the begging army, it was a gang and a bandit, killing people like hemp, so many begging the heavenly army, the lives of these hundreds of people in the village were like candles in the wind, and they would be extinguished if they didn't pay attention to it. Wang Baoquan followed Ma Ba's instructions and asked the villagers not to pity the food and cook quickly, while following Ma Ba, Ma Ba was a member of the village, and the lives of the whole village depended on him to say good things.

Niu Xiaosan is a merchant, carrying a deputy burden to go to the village to visit households, needles and threads, and the candy eaten by children is very popular with the villagers. The sun just climbed a pole high, Niu Xiaosan came to Honggang Village with the goods, he didn't come for half a month, this time the goods are well stocked, and he should be able to save dozens of dollars to go back.

The village is quiet, Niu Xiaosan is a little strange, put down the pick to wipe his sweat and prepare to shout twice, hearing his own shouting, aunts, aunts, girls and children will gather around his burden, Niu Xiaosan likes this feeling. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw several men with knives rushing out of the house and surrounding him, and more than a dozen men appeared behind him at some point.

Niu Xiaosan has been in the village for some years, and has encountered a few bandits, so he squatted down very wisely, curled up and hugged his head, and heard a laugh in his ears, "Yo, I'm still an expert." Pushed into the courtyard next to him, Niu Xiaosan saw that the ground was full of people, snoring one after another, Niu Xiaosan was stunned, where is this hero, why are so many people, Honggang Village is finished, I am afraid that it will be over.

At two moments, Feng Siyan led four thousand light horsemen to appear in Xiaozhen, and there was no unexpected blockade. The detective rode into the town, and after a while, he galloped out and reported: "There is no one in the town." Feng Siyan didn't dare to be careless, and ordered to retreat two miles and wait for the arrival of the infantry. Before noon, 4,000 steps

The soldiers arrived with their baggage, Feng Siyan sent eight hundred soldiers into the town to search, and two quarters of an hour later, the soldiers who entered the town reported that the town was empty.

Feng Siyan had the feeling that his fist was in the air, and with a hint of luck, he ordered to enter the town. The town was literally deserted, and the wind blew through the streets, kicking up dust and sand, and it was deserted. Detectives were sent to scatter to investigate, and after Feng Siyan ordered to search for supplies, he came to the Happy Restaurant in the town to wait for news.

More than half an hour later, the scouts who went out brought back a few people from Xiaozhen, and from the mouths of these people, Feng Siyan learned that the horse thieves heard the news that Zheng Jun was coming, and began to move supplies more than a year ago, and the town was already empty.

When the time came, Feng Siyan went out of the restaurant to check the results of the search. All the things found were piled up on both sides of the street, all of which were clumsy and clumsy, broken pots and rotten iron, and it was hard to see that a copper basin was still deflated. The plan to grab the gold and silver to flatter the Son of Heaven failed, Feng Siyan snorted and returned to the restaurant, unspeakably disappointed.

Guan Pingzhong's seemingly smiling but implied sarcastic face appeared in his mind, he would definitely be ridiculed by him if he returned in vain, and he rushed to sweep Jiang Anyi's face, Jiang Anyi was afraid that he would not let go of the opportunity to attack him, if he impeached himself in front of the Son of Heaven, with the personality of the Son of Heaven, he would definitely appease Jiang Anyi and punish himself, the officialdom was very powerful, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to come out again if he lost this opportunity.

Sitting in the dark of night, the guard stepped forward and reminded softly, "Governor, it's time for dinner." ”

Feng Siyan raised his head and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's already the second quarter of the year."

Feng Siyan stood up, his muscles and bones made a "pop" sound, and he had been sitting for more than an hour. Feng Siyan stretched out his hands and feet, and ordered: "Let the brothers tighten their guard and rest in Xiaozhen tonight." Bring the food. ”

After deep thought, Feng Siyan had already made up his mind and led the army to the Great Qi Kingdom early tomorrow morning. The Great Qi Kingdom is the remnant of the Yuan Heavenly Sect, and it is the confidant of the Son of Heaven, and he knows that he may not be defeated, but he has to take a risk.

Feng Siyan knows very well that as a general, fighting bravely is one thing, and on the other hand, it is necessary to cater to the will of the Son of Heaven, otherwise it will be useless. Shen Guogong is a handsome man with both wisdom and bravery, and he has been delayed for more than ten years because of his high merits; Zhu is simple and mediocre, but because of the Zhu family's loyalty to the Son of Heaven, he successfully inherited the position of Taiwei, and he was able to be transferred to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate as the deputy governor, because the Son of Heaven took the initiative to take refuge when he was still the prince, and he had the merit of following the dragon. There are so many generals and generals in the Sixteen Guards, and there are a few people who can be favored by the Son of Heaven.

The Western Regions are foreign countries to the Son of Heaven, and it is naturally good to be able to scavenge the benefits from them, but in the end, it is not as good as the merit of exterminating the Great Qi State, even if he buries all the 8,000 men and horses in the Great Qi Kingdom, the Son of Heaven will praise himself for his loyalty and courage to serve the country and work hard. The corners of Feng Siyan's mouth showed a sly smile, it is best if the Son of Heaven can issue an edict to reprimand himself, such a reprimand is more expensive than a reward, even if Jian Zai is frustrated in the emperor's heart, it will be more useful in the future, Duan Youxiang and Jiang Anyi are the best examples.

Twilight fell again in Honggang Village, and the Heavenly Army in the village was preparing to leave after dinner. Wang Lizheng knew that the time had come to decide life and death, so he knelt down in front of Ma Ba and sobbed: "Master Ma, please say a good word to everyone in front of the general, and spare the lives of the whole village." ”

Ma Ba has been in a dream these days, and he has suddenly become a general who commands the army, and he has seen Li Zheng who wants to laugh in front of him in the past, this feeling is too wonderful. He knew Rao Qiangfeng's intentions and was ready to use Honggang Village as a courtesy

One of the strongholds of the army did not think about killing the villagers of Honggang Village. Ma Ba crossed his legs and said: "Wang Lizheng, I am also half of Honggang Village, and you still have to give your affection." However, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, you know? ”

Wang Lizheng said in a loud voice: "Ma Ye rest assured, he will never let Ma Ye be busy in vain, and the due filial piety will be sent to your house." ”

Someone outside the house was shouting: "General Ma, the general called you." ”

Ma Ba agreed loudly, stood up and walked up, and said, "Wang Lizheng, don't worry, I will plead with the general." ”

Sent people to Pansnake Mountain to deliver the message, Rao Qiangfeng left 500 minions in the village, and took 4,500 men and horses to Zheng Jun's baggage camp. When he was setting off, he could already see the dark and heavy camp under the moonlight.

Standing on the high post and looking down, the light at the west tent is particularly conspicuous, and General Meng has come to inspect again tonight. The spies reported that the defense of the baggage battalion was sparse, and the soldiers on the watchtower were hiding below to avoid the wind, and only ascended to take a look at it after a while.

Rao Qiangfeng carried the axe and ordered: "Zong Ming, you bring a hundred brothers with me to touch it, and it is best to go in quietly." Xu Liang, when we open the gate of the village, you will take your brothers to kill in. ”

A cloud covered the moonlight, Rao Qiangfeng took the opportunity to touch forward, and soon came to the side of the trench, the wide trench could not stop him, and he fell to the opposite side with a slight jump. Rao Qiangfeng walked forward on the ground, the thistle was waded away, and there was a muffled snort behind him, and someone accidentally stepped on the thistle, and his foot was pierced. Rao Qiangfeng raised his hand to signal, everyone lurked and did not move, listened attentively, and there was no shouting, and the officers and soldiers in the village did not notice.

Carefully touched the wall, the wall of the baggage camp is a sharpened wooden fence, about one and a half feet high, ordinary people can not climb without a ladder. The hundred people behind Rao Qiangfeng are all the elites selected in the army, over the mountains and mountains such as walking on the flat ground, someone untied the rope from the waist, the front end of the rope is an iron hook, raised his hand to throw it on the wall, and climbed up after pulling it solid.

Rao Qiangfeng is as swift as an ape, and he came to the top of the village in three times and two times, and fell into the village with a light body. There were several soldiers under the village who were gathering together to chat happily, and when they heard the sound of "呀", they hurriedly turned their heads to look.

The cold light flashed, the blood splashed, and the shouts of "enemy attack" sounded. The hundred men crossed over the wall, and cut down the soldiers on the side of the wall. Rao Qiangfeng shouted: "Hurry up and open the gate of the village and block the officers and soldiers." ”

On the day of the third watch, the soldiers in the camp were asleep, awakened by the sound of gongs and drums, and turned dizzy and could not find the north. After resting in the baggage camp for more than 20 days, the people became lazy and messy like flies without heads. The heavenly army poured into the village like a tide, and the big knife slashed at the disheveled officers and soldiers, Rao Qiangfeng asked his subordinates to shout: "Surrender and don't kill." ”

In less than half an hour, the baggage camp fell into the hands of the Heavenly Army. Meng Guangliang rushed towards the camp on horseback with more than 20 personal guards, and saw Rao Qiangfeng standing in front of the gate of the village. Although he didn't know who this person was, Meng Guangliang knew that the camp had fallen into his hands, and it was a capital crime for him to stay overnight and not return for the baggage camp. Meng Guangliang's eyes were red with blood, and he swung his sword and galloped towards Rao Qiang.

Rao Qiangfeng was not afraid, and walked towards the galloping horse, and when the war horse approached, Rao Qiangfeng was short, avoiding the chopping knife, the axe was flat, the horse's hooves passed through the axe, and the horse's feet fell. The horse neighed and fell to the ground, Meng Guangliang fell from his horse and was hacked to death by Li Zongming behind Rao Qiangfeng. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards turned their horses and fled in all directions.
