When the Xingtian army passed through the Tianjiazhuang in a big way, Tianjiazhuang was already a posture like a great enemy, last night before the thief army and the official army in their miles away in the battle, although they did not dare to come to the scene to watch the battle, but the fierce artillery and gunfire in the evening shouted to kill, but has already reached the ears of the Tianjiazhuang people, after night, more officers and soldiers fled to Tianjiazhuang to seek refuge, so Tianjiazhuang's Tian surname has already learned the news of the defeat of the official army.

Therefore, since yesterday, they have closed the gate of the village, not letting anyone into the village, even if the official army came to ask for help, they also released arrows to drive them away, and did not dare to take them in at all, for fear of causing trouble.

And when the Xingtian Army marched outside Tianjiazhuang, the people of Tianjiazhuang were even more frightened, where did they dare to come out to find trouble with the Xingtian Army!

A team of sentry horses rushed to the outside of Tianjiazhuang and shouted to the village: "The Xingtian Army borrowed this place, and the people inside listened to it, and they were not allowed to leave the village without permission, and those who violated it were immediately killed!" Let your owner immediately send five pigs, ten sheep, 100 stones of rice grain, and 10 horses of silk cloth out, and we will not make any mistakes to you! If you are interested, hurry up! ”

The big family surnamed Tian of Tianjiazhuang was also frightened at this time and looked out on the wall of the village, looking at the formation of the Xingtian Army and the strings of officers and prisoners of war who were tied up and escorted over, he was already frightened, he was confident that his Tianjiazhuang could withstand the siege of three or five hundred thieves, but after seeing the situation of this self-proclaimed Xingtian Army's thief army, even if he denied the idea of carrying it to the death, after listening to the shouts and cheers of the Xingtian Army sentry outside the village, he didn't even let out a fart, and immediately called Zhuang Ding to prepare supplies according to the instructions of the Xingtian Army. And he lay on the wall of the village with a smile on his face, clenched his fists and shouted:

"Your army is passing through this place, and Honjo is honored, how dare you offend your army! It's just that because the place is not quiet, I dare not open the door and invite you to enter the village to rest, and I hope to bear with me! As for these things, they should be offered, and the right should be a little bit of heart! In addition, two hundred taels of silver will be offered, and I hope that your army will not be too little! ”

Not long after Tianjiazhuang according to the instructions, from the side gate sent people to drive out the pigs and sheep, and even with the people to carry out more than 100 bags of grain, piled up in the open space outside the village, and ten silk cloth are also placed outside the village, and on the grain pile also put a tray, presented two hundred taels of silver, the people out of the village then nervously ran back to the village, and closed the door with a bang.

The soldiers of the Xingtian Army were not polite, they went up to collect these things, as for the two hundred taels of silver, Zhang Chao weighed it in his hand, raised his hand and threw it outside the village gate, and shouted to the people in the village: "Our Xingtian Army has always counted when we speak, count your acquaintance, we didn't ask you for silver, and these silver will be returned to you!"

Our Xingtian Army has its own rules, saying one or the other, our general said, if you read the face of your surname Tian and have no great evil, I won't trouble you, and you will accumulate more virtue and do good deeds in the future, and you can naturally keep safe! Let's go! ”

After saying that, the Xingtian Army put on these things and drove in the direction of Longzhou City without looking back.

The old man surnamed Tian looked at the back of Xingtianjun in disbelief, and it was not until he was sure that Xingtianjun had left that he dared to open the door of the village, and let people go out of the village to retrieve the two hundred taels of silver that were thrown outside the village. Weird! Weird! It's weird! Believers! Is there such a thief who is so faithful? ”

He Fang was lying in front of a big car, he was still counting the time, seeing that the sky was bright, he thought that it would not be long before He Renlong would definitely lead his troops to rescue him, if He Renlong led most of the soldiers and horses over, it was estimated that this Xingtian army was probably not an opponent, maybe he could take advantage of the chaos to escape, but seeing that the sun was approaching, he still didn't even see the shadow of an official army, so he completely gave up his thoughts, and lay down on the cart and closed his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly began to hate He Renlong, Blame He Renlong, who didn't think about the life or death of his nephew at all, but ran back to Longzhou City by himself.

He Fang's complaint was that he misunderstood his uncle He Renlong, not that He Renlong didn't want to come to rescue his nephew He Fang, but that he really couldn't spare his hands and couldn't come to rescue He Fang at all.

At noon on the first day, the Xingtian army repelled the soldiers sent by He Renlong twice at Dashiqiao, and defeated He Renlong twice in a row, so that the two soldiers and horses under He Renlong were all lost, so that He Renlong was puzzled, for fear that this was Gao Yingxiang or Li Zicheng's treacherous plan, so he turned his head and went north along the river and chose another place to cross the river.

And when the Xingtian Army was fighting fiercely at the Great Stone Bridge and the He Renlong Division, several people led their horses to stand in a small forest only one or two miles away from the battlefield, looking in the direction of the Great Stone Bridge.

After these people saw that the Xingtian Army had defeated the official army twice, they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and one of the small leaders was stunned for a long time before muttering: "Damn! This Heavenly Army is too powerful! Don't they do the same thing as us? Why were they able to beat Naga's madman's subordinates with just such a small number of men? Little Liu, you quickly report the war here to our generals! Don't delay! ”

After a thin man nodded in agreement, he immediately retreated from the other side of the grove with his horse, turned over and whipped the horse's buttocks, and raised a cloud of dust like a joy, and galloped towards Li Zicheng's camp in Longzhou City.

Li Zicheng listened to the sound of cannons outside Longzhou City and the earth-shattering shouts of killing, but his mind was not on the battle outside Longzhou City at all, no matter how lively the battle was, he also knew that it was just a feint, and it was impossible to capture this Longzhou City with Gao Jie's ability, and this battle was just a show, in fact, his mind was all on the body of the Xingtian Army and the officers and troops of He Renlong's department more than ten miles away.

Originally, he made an appointment with Gao Yingxiang this time and used a plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, wanting to take advantage of Gao Yingxiang's transfer of He Renlong from Longzhou City to sneak attack and capture Longzhou City, but he didn't expect that He Renlong actually left some elites in Longzhou City, which made his and Gao Yingxiang's plan fall through.

He Renlong's gang is thick and fine, it is really a difficult opponent to deal with, and although they are fellow villagers, but since he Li Zicheng rebelled, He Renlong has been chasing and beating their righteous army, and when they were in Shaanxi, they did not eat He Renlong's stuffy losses, and often fought with them, and their righteous army lost more and won less, so that now Li Zicheng has a headache when he mentions He Renlong.

When Xiao Tianjian mentioned today that he would lead his troops to intercept He Renlong's officers and troops, Li Zicheng was very optimistic about Xiao Tianjian's battle, but Gu Junen was not bad, for a fledgling kid like Xiao Tianjian, if he didn't let him suffer a loss, he would definitely think that with only those soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army under him, he would come and go at will!

This is also the reason why he finally agreed to Gu Junen's suggestion, in his heart, he still wants to watch Xiao Tianjian become more well-behaved after suffering a big loss, recognize the current situation, it is best to use it for him, even if it is the worst, let Xiao Tianjian invest in Gao Yingxiang, after all, in general, this Xiao Tianjian is still a young and promising person, once he can be subdued, then it will be of great help to his development and growth in the future.

Li Guo had already gathered the two thousand elites under his command at this time, and when the news of the defeat of the Xingtian Army came back from the front, he would lead his troops to rescue Xiao Tianjian, and take the opportunity to show favor to him, so that Xiao Tianjian owed him a great favor.

Therefore, after Li Zicheng set off from the Xingtian Army, he had been waiting for the front to send back the news, seeing that it had passed noon, but there was still no news from the front, Li Zicheng couldn't help but start to be a little anxious, stood up and walked outside the Dongyuan Gate, stopping to look in the southeast direction.

After waiting for a while, a soldier on the arrow tower on the right side of the gate pointed to the distance and shouted to Li Zicheng: "Break into the general!" There's a fast horse over there! ”

Li Zicheng looked into the distance, and really saw a cloud of dust and smoke rising in the southeast direction, rushing towards his big camp.

"Pass Li Guo, let him get ready, we can go at any time!" Li Zicheng immediately instructed his own soldiers.

The guards immediately received the order and rushed back to the camp, only to hear a commotion in the camp immediately.

"Report! ...... "The thin man who flew from the horse rode was quite exquisite, and when he was about to get to the outside of the gate, he saw Li Zicheng standing outside the gate, pulled the reins of the horse and slowed down slightly, and without waiting for the horse to stop, he flew and jumped off the horse, galloped a few steps with the help of momentum, came to Li Zicheng, knelt down on one knee and shouted to Li Zicheng.

"Say!" Li Zicheng commanded him loudly.

"Enlighten the general! At the big stone bridge of the Wanzi River, the Xingtian Army blocked the He Renlong Division, defeated the He Renlong two formations, and killed hundreds of enemies! Please, the general decides! ”

"Huh? ......" Li Zicheng was a little dumbfounded after hearing this, and immediately asked, "What?" You repeat! How is the Xingtian Army? ”

"Report to the general! The Xingtian Army has won a great victory! In the west of the big stone bridge of the Wanzi River, he defeated two troops under the command of He Renlong, and killed hundreds of enemies! Again, the sentinel reported loudly.

This time, Li Zicheng didn't suspect that there was something wrong with his ears, but this was the opposite of the news he wanted to hear, and all the preparations he made were vacant.

How is that possible? The Xingtian Army sent troops this time, but it only brought more than 1,000 people, and He Renlong had more than 3,000 soldiers under his command, and more than 2,000 auxiliary soldiers, how could he be killed by this Xingtian Army?

"Inform me carefully of the situation of the battle!" Li Zicheng asked the sentry sharply.
