Night falls.

Outside Zhangqiu City, it is still as bright as day.

More than 20,000 thieves led by Pei Changcai and the two thieves of Shizihe set up camp around Zhangqiu City, with bonfires everywhere and tents everywhere. The chaotic continuous patches are like a group of refugees who have fled to Zhangqiu for refuge.

The thieves also began to cook, collecting firewood everywhere, and the thieves in the old camp killed pigs and sheep to eat meat, while the new thieves in the strong camp over there could have something to eat, and as for the camp, it was only enough to drink porridge.

Unless you wait for Zhangqiu City to be defeated, the old camp and the strong camp eat meat, and those in the camp can drink a few mouthfuls of soup with them, otherwise they can only eat a full meal and a hungry meal when they march in peacetime.

In Henan in March, it was warm and cold at first, and in the night, many thieves who lacked food and clothing, old and weak, were also cold and hungry, they were guarding the fire, looking at the Zhangqiu City in the distance, and their eyes were shining.

There were also some old thieves in the old camp, who, after they had eaten and drunk enough, came with some leftover food, and they sought out women and girls who had no support, half seducing and half persecuting, to satisfy their desires.

Many women whose husbands or family members have died, they are lonely, and they have no food, unlike other women who have husbands and brothers, who do not have enough to eat in the camp, and there are brothers and relatives who send them to fill their stomachs, and they can only be forced to sell their dignity, sacrifice their hue, and exchange a little bit of leftovers from the hands of those thieves.

The thief camp was full of noise.

They enjoy this savage freedom, but they also bear the unknown tomorrow.

Time passed, and the hustle and bustle of the camp slowly quieted down.

On the third watch, the entire camp had almost fallen asleep, and only a few bandits were left patrolling.

At the east gate of Zhangqiu City, several county soldiers were pouring oil into the city gate shaft with oil pots, and after pouring enough oil, the door was slowly opened.

The refueled gates did not make a single sound.

The door opened, and a group of men and horses dressed in black quietly left the city.

The team was led by Zhou Dewei and Zhou Xin, who were originally from Changbai Mansion, and had been ordered by Chai Xiaohe to bring a team of fifty people to help Du Ruhui strengthen the defense of Zhangqiu City. The two of them have fought with Luo Cheng many times and have rich experience, and tonight they were ordered by Zhang Xutuo to go out of the city and attack the camp.

The two quietly left the city with four hundred people, all the way in the direction of the camp.

Although the thieves arranged for people to patrol at night, they were mainly on the side of the old camp and the strong camp, and the camp was relatively backward, and there was not much vigilance.

Quietly approaching all the way, the two observed the meeting, and found that the entire camp was like a large chaotic refugee camp, with no camp fences, let alone guards, and as for trenches and secret posts, there were naturally no such things.

They are like they are in the realm of nothingness.

"Kill!"

Zhou Dewei and Zhou Xin gestured, and then the two gave the order to attack.

Killing, arson.

Create chaos.

While killing people, he set fires, and then drove the families of the thieves who woke up to run to the Zhuang camp and the old camp.

In the quiet of the night, chaos soon swept over the camp.

The frightened and confused thieves were driven to the old camp of the Zhuang camp like ducks.

Zhang Xutuo stood on the head of the south gate and watched, when he saw that the camp was on fire everywhere, and the fire began to spread to the old camp of the Zhuang camp in the south, and then the old camp of the strong camp was also lit up, he smiled slightly.

"Open the gates, it's time for us to strike."

The thieves of the strong camp and the old camp who were awakened jumped out of the simple camp tents one after another, and began to run with knives and guns. Those thieves and thieves shouted everywhere, shouting the names of their subordinates.

The thieves are in the team.

After hastily forming the team, they began to line up with their dependents, because there were officers and soldiers behind them.

But the dependents who fled in a hurry, when they saw these bandits, thought they had found a sense of security, and they all ran into their array, ignoring the words of the bandits who shouted for them to pass from both sides and go to the back.

Where there are many people, they drill into it.

It seems that this is the only way to be the safest.

More and more dependents were driven over, and the array that the thieves had barely assembled was also smashed to pieces.

In the end, the old thief and the thief still have their dependents, and it is no longer clear to distinguish, you have me, I have you.

And at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in pieces.

But not from their front, but from behind them.

Zhang Xutuo took 200 light horsemen and 1,000 foot soldiers out of Zhangqiu City, like a sharp knife, directly stabbed into the waist and ribs of the bandits.

At this time, there were countless shouts of killing from the side of the camp.

The bandits were suddenly one head and two big, and they didn't know where the officers and soldiers had come from.

Zhang Xutuo doesn't care about this, that's what he wants.

It doesn't look too far in the night, but it doesn't matter, rush over, get closer, just shoot an arrow.

The soldiers and villagers in the back all drew their bows and arrows, and rushed forward after the cavalry, and when they approached the thieves, the light cavalry suddenly outflanked the two wings, and the foot soldiers stood still, and the arrows were continuously fired.

Patches of bandits were shot down by attacks from behind.

The bandits are a rabble, and although they have a numerical advantage, a large number of people is not always an advantage, and in this dark night and chaos, the large number of people becomes a disadvantage.

It only added to their confusion and panic.

The four hundred people led by Zhou Dewei and Zhou Xin killed from the other side, shields and horizontal knives, marched in groups, and cut down every person.

And Zhang Xutuo also took 200 horsemen to wander on the two wings, and the constant loitering increased the panic and confusion of the thieves.

Pei Changcai and the two thieves of Shizihe gave orders again and again, but at this time, the thief could not find the thief, and the thief could not find the thief, and it was all messed up.

In particular, the tens of thousands of old and weak people in the camp are also mixed in the camp, they are even more like headless birds rushing around, they don't know how to resist and kill officials, they only know how to run around, one will run from here to there, and one will run from that side to this side, especially they always like to make all kinds of screams and screams, and even from time to time someone shouts that they are defeated and defeated, and the army of officials and soldiers is coming.

The other strong thieves and old thieves also panicked.

Someone is running away.

After a long day of scuffle, Pei Changcai and the two thieves couldn't control the situation at all, it was too dark, which exacerbated the chaos, and then the two pondered, let's run.

They weren't sure if it was really the Qi County army that had been killed, and they couldn't control it so much at this time.

Run.

So the two thieves took hundreds of elite old thieves to kill a way and ran away.

As soon as they ran, the thieves were even more confused, and they had no command at all.

A chaotic slaughter continued until dawn.

After dawn, outside Zhangqiu City, there were the corpses of thieves everywhere, many of whom fell under the swords of the officials, and many of whom were trampled to death by the chaotic people.

In addition to those who scattered and fled, in one night, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers actually killed more than 3,000 thieves and captured nearly 10,000 prisoners.

When looking at the piles of prisoners lying on the ground, as well as the corpses lying down, Zhang Xutuo couldn't believe his eyes.

Shan Binbin took off his helmet in the morning breeze, looked at the soldiers of the women's battalion behind him, and said to them with a smile, "Sisters, we won!" ”

A group of fierce women couldn't help but cheer at this time, "Win, we won." ”

After cheering for a while, suddenly a woman began to vomit, last night with a knife to fight, as fierce as a man Zhangqiu female camp women, at this time looking at the corpses all over the ground, the smell of blood everywhere, came back to their senses, and vomited like ordinary women.
