Chapter 26 Mengjiazhuang

The crowd of people started from Longkou and went west along the pontoon bridge that had been built long ago. As soon as you cross the Flood River, turn around and head west. I want to bite the tail of the rebels.

Both sides have realized that the day of the decisive battle will be in these two days.

The Qin army and the security soldiers attacked at the same time, and the two armies were separated by a mile, and there were rangers back and forth to report the news.

"Newspaper, the thief army is in Mengjiadian in thirty miles, and from the banner is the word "Zhang", escorting a large number of baggage. The scout reported back.

"The surname Zhang is escorting baggage again, so it must be Zhang Xuan." He Renlong's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he opened them again, his eye sockets had already turned bloody. "My son, don't worry, Daddy is here to avenge you?"

"Mr. He, what do you think should be done in the current situation?" Fu Zonglong asked politely.

He Renlong has been with this Qin Governor for a long time, and he also knows his temper and uprightness, what he said just now is just a blunt politeness, He Renlong has long known Fu Zonglong's thoughts, isn't it just to catch up and fight with the rogue. And at this moment, He Renlong's mind is exactly like this.

"My lord, please hurry up and catch the thief's tail." He Renlong said: "The last general, please be the vanguard." ”

"Okay." Fu Zonglong nodded, feeling that He Renlong was quite obedient, and said: "There is no need to worry about General He's being the vanguard, just hold on, our army is behind, and after the army arrives, it's not too late to start the war." ”

Fu Zonglong didn't look at what he said to Yang Wenyue, but when it came to action, he was quite cautious. However, his caution only wanted to reduce the occurrence of accidents, and Fu Zonglong's determination did not weaken in the slightest.

"Yes." He Renlong pulled his horse and walked away. With a large group of cavalry rushed to the front.

I have to say that He Renlong's judgment is very right, Zhang Xuan is being used as bait in the Meng family shop at the moment.

Not far from Zhang Xuan's side, there was a white war horse, this horse was much stronger than Zhang Xuan's big black, it was specially picked by Luo Rucai for Zhang Xuan, the meaning was very obvious, that is, if there is something, flee quickly. He knew that a few miles away, there were large groups of men and horses, which seemed to have gone far, but in fact they were just some bluffs, and the real main force was hidden in the nearby woods, quite secretive. Zhang Xuan found a way to provide them with autumn camouflage, using fishing nets to dip some fallen leaves, and crawling in the woods, it was really like stealth.

To a certain extent, Zhang Xuan's bait is just a spare bait, and another spare bait is the food and materials hoarded in Mengjiadian.

Zhang Xuan never thought that in the paddy field, killing that person was really He Renlong's son, he secretly regretted it, he knew that he was not bragging, Zhang Xuan would have brought it back at that time, maybe he could still knock it in He Renlong's hands. Zhang Xuan was also a little secretly grateful to He Daming's head, if he hadn't killed He Daming, he would not have participated in the core battlefield of this big war anyway, at most, he was just camouflaging the main force among the people who had gone away.

"Brother Cao, remember, when He Renlong arrives, we will run immediately. Run to the west and make the idea of catching up with the main forces. Don't worry about the matter here, just save your life and mine. Zhang Xuan said.

"Don't worry, you've said this several times. Don't worry, it's okay. With me here, even thousands of troops can protect you from killing. Cao Zongyu said.

Zhang Xuan seemed to understand Cao Zongyu's words, but he didn't seem to understand, pacing back and forth in place, unable to stop at all. Cao Zongyu smiled slightly bitterly, he knew that the tension in Zhang Xuan's heart could not be relieved, it could only be like this, but Cao Zongyu was not nervous in a hurry, Cao Zongyu gently pressed his chest, only to feel that his heart was beating rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his mouth.

"He Renlong, are you still here?" Cao Zongyu was also thinking repeatedly in his heart, are we exposed?

"My lord, someone from the Liukou side sent a letter, please open it yourself." A scout handed a letter to He Renlong.

He Renlong opened it and took a look, but it was, in the tone of Li Zicheng to write a letter to He Renlong, in the letter, first describe the hometown, and then apologize, saying that Zhang Xuan killed He Daming, he didn't know at all, and now Zhang Xuan and tens of thousands of taels of food and materials are placed in Mengjiazhuang, ask He Renlong to pick it up, which is considered an apology to General He, only ask General He to look at the share of the fellow villagers, raise his hand, and then finally say a cunning rabbit death, lackeys cook clichés, saying that He Renlong has done, all kinds of violations of discipline and law. said that as soon as the rogues were destroyed, the court would come to clean him up.

He Renlong looked at it hastily, tore the letter to shreds, and said: "The death of my son, is it just that, the general is too simple, how can a mere Zhang Xuan's head eliminate the hatred in my heart." Come. ”

"Yes." One of the guards stepped forward and said.

"Send the order to go down and attack Mengjiazhuang, I want to have lunch in Mengjiazhuang at noon." He Renlong said.

That being said, it can't completely dispel He Renlong's suspicions.

There must not be the slightest carelessness in marching and fighting, and it is not impossible for the boat to capsize in the gutter if you are not careful.

The scouts of the Qin army rushed towards Mengjiazhuang.

"Collapse." The sound of the bowstring, the sound of the horse's hooves, the "jingle." The sound of swords and soldiers intermingling, countless voices mingled.

September 5, 14th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. The battle known as the Battle of Xiangcheng by later generations kicked off from Mengjiazhuang.

The scouts of the Qin army were about ten people, but most of them were not satisfied, and they were all two-horseed. And in order to make He Renlong not suspicious, most of the people around Zhang Xuan were replaced by the elite of Cao Ying's Chinese army, but they couldn't send them to fight, because Luo Ru had explained to them that they had only one task, that is, to bring Zhang Xuan out after Zhang Xuan completed the task.

And at this moment, it was Luo Dai who was fighting, plus more than 100 horsemen who were Zhang Xuan's personal guards.

Their strength in cavalry is weaker than that of the Qin army, but Luo Dai is a strong general.

Luo Dai is unruly, whether it is in the Chinese army or under Zhang Xuan, but his martial arts are not only under Zhang Xuan, even if he is placed in Cao Ying, he can be counted, even if Cao Zongyu thinks to himself, he may not be able to compare with Luo Dai.

However, Cao Zongyu didn't care. Cao Zongyu never felt that he was good at using force.

At this moment, Luo Dai showed his majesty.

The real brigade of cavalry fighting, countless collisions together, a person's strength is too small, can not show his skills at all, only such a squad fight, can show a person's horsemanship, archery, martial arts. Luo Dai fired his bow left and right on his horse from a distance, and the Qin army scouts fell in response. Very condor shooter.

However, the Qin army scouts are not vegetarians either.

They also immediately opened their bows, and many arrows shot at Luo Dai, Luo Dai's body fell together, and there was no big movement, and these arrows fell one after another. But Luo Dai's subordinates didn't have Luo Dai's means, they couldn't even shoot the bow right away, so they could only lie on the horse tightly, draw their knives in their hands, and wait to rush into battle. There were more than a dozen unlucky eggs, who were shot in an instant, turned over and fell off their horses.

Falling from a high-speed galloping horse, there is almost no way to live, even if you can't die for a while, at least your bones will be broken, but the team of centaurs will not have time to wait for you here. Soon it became a target on the battlefield, and it was either trampled to death by a horse, or it was not easily stabbed.

When Luo Dai and the Qin army scouts were more than thirty steps apart, he suddenly abandoned his bow and took out two firearms in his arms with his backhand, "Bang bang." With two strokes, the two horsemen led by the Qin army got off their horses, then pulled out their sabers, lifted the reins, and the whole person took the horses and leaped up, the sword was bright, and the blood splashed.

"How can he still have a firecracker?" Zhang Xuan suddenly thought. I couldn't figure it out for a while. In this era, this Western-style firearm is still a rare thing. Zhang Xuan was slightly distracted, and the confrontation between the two sides was over.

The squad of cavalry hedged at a very fast speed, but in the blink of an eye, the first hedge was over.

I don't know if it was Luo Dai's bravery that crushed the morale of the other party, or if the Qin army felt that the large group of men and horses was behind and was unwilling to fight hard.

Luo Dai was beside Zhang Xuan, turned over and dismounted, took the water bladder handed by Zhang Xuan, raised his head and drank it all, put it down, wiped his mouth and said, "I can't wait any longer, I smell the smell of He Maniac." If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to go. ”
