Xiao Tianjian personally led Li Xuanzhu's three battalions as the lead, and the two township barracks covered the flanks, until they approached the distance of sixty paces of the official army's large array. Although the official army is also equipped with bird guns, but because of the poor quality of bird guns, accidents occur frequently, many bird guns are thrown into the treasury by the officers and soldiers and abandoned, more is the use of fast rate of fire of the three-eyed guns, but the three-eyed guns at a distance of sixty paces, can cause very limited damage to the Xingtian Army, and because of the inability to carry out accurate aiming, the shooting accuracy is very poor, so that as soon as the two armies fought, hundreds of elites placed in front of the battle by Hu Dawei were cut down in front of the battle by the dense row of guns of the Xingtian Army, and the elite was destroyed. The officers and soldiers behind were suddenly in turmoil.

After the frustration in the battle, Hu Dawei was worried that he would be completely disabled if he continued like this, so he ordered the officers and soldiers to retreat, and when Hu Dawei commanded the soldiers and horses to begin to retreat, Xiao Tianjian ordered the soldiers of the Xingtian Army to shout in unison: "The officers and troops are defeated!" The officers and troops were defeated......"

In fact, although Hu Dawei's department was frustrated at this time and suffered a big loss, but under his constraints, the soldiers and horses under his command had not yet collapsed, but after the soldiers and horses behind received the order to retreat, they were slowly retreating, but they heard the thunderous cheers of the Xingtian Army.

Xiao Tianjian saw this opportunity, once again spilled Wang Chengping's cavalry, followed by the official army and launched a fierce attack, the official army had already begun to be chaotic, and then Wang Chengping's cavalry rushed so violently, and suddenly it was completely chaotic, Xiao Tianjian led the three battalions of the Xingtian Army at this time, and launched a chase battle against Hu Dawei's department, thousands of Xingtian Army's troops, fell behind a large number of officers and soldiers, and Hu Dawei's army was killed and fled.

After Hu Dawei led his troops to run out of more than ten miles, he finally managed to gather the rout and regain his position, and camped on the spot overnight, intending to die with the Xingtian Army, and gain time for Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guangxian to come to the aid of the Xingtian Army, and give the Xingtian Army a front and rear attack, and destroy the main force of the Xingtian Army in this area.

But Xiao Tianjian didn't let Hu Dawei's wishful thinking come true! What he lacks most is time, that night he braved the bitter cold, personally led the army to the barracks of Hu Dawei, the shortcomings of the bird gun to the night will be exposed, think about the dark night a large group of people carrying a fire arquebus, will be found far away, so Xiao Tianjian raided the official army camp this time ordered the fire gun hand behind, not to light the fire, personally led two hundred knife players, each carrying a few iron thunderbolts, and each person hid a pipe with velvet under the rattan card, and the group was draped all over, The whole army secretly approached the periphery of the Hudawei official army camp without igniting the fire, and then the two hundred rattan players crawled forward little by little on the cold ground, squirming like ants to the outside of the official army camp.

After the 200 knife players cautiously crawled to the corner of the official army camp, they used the rattan card as a shield, and at the same time shook the fire in the pipe and ignited the thunderbolt cannons, got up and rushed to the official army camp quickly, and threw these thunderbolts towards the gate of the official army camp.

Hu Dawei was not without guard against the Xingtian army stealing the camp, and arranged a lot of patrol officers and soldiers inside and outside the camp, when the two hundred Xingtian army ignited the fire, the officers and soldiers found their figures, and immediately began to fire arrows to intercept, and sounded the gong to warn, but in the black rumbling, they only felt that some hissing and fiery things fell on the camp fence, and then they began to explode one after another, after more than 200 thunderbolts exploded one after another, the patrol officers and soldiers in the camp fence were killed and injured on the spot. Even a large section of the barracks was blown to the ground.

And after the two hundred sword players of the Heavenly Army succeeded, they did not retreat, and continued to light the thunderbolt cannon they carried with them, throwing them into the official barracks, while covering themselves with shields, rushing into the camp of Hu Dawei, and the officers and soldiers who first got up to intercept them fought together, although there were not many people, but these two hundred people were veterans, very fierce, the peripheral soldiers raised their shields and waved their knives against the officers and soldiers who pounced on them, and the soldiers behind kept lighting the thunderbolts and throwing them into the crowd of officers and soldiers.

In the face of such a weapon, the official army was blown up, and immediately fled into the camp, and at this time, Xiao Tianjian led the remaining Xingtian soldiers and generals who were hiding nearby, shouting in unison What Zhentian followed these two hundred sword players into the official army camp.

Hu Dawei was awakened by the rumbling explosion in his sleep, and immediately got up and gathered the generals to resist, why did they prepare in a hurry, after the Xingtian army rushed into the camp, as long as they found a large number of officers and soldiers gathered, they immediately threw thunderbolts, and the violent explosion knocked the officers and soldiers to the ground in pieces, and soon the officers and soldiers completely collapsed, and fled in all directions in the dark, and even killed each other in the chaos, and their own people fought happily with their own people.

Xiao Tianjian took the soldiers of the Xingtian Army, and overnight Hu Dawei was defeated and fled, killing more than 1,000 enemies and captivating more than 1,000 prisoners, and the rest of the officers and soldiers fled to the direction of Zezhou, or fled into the nearby mountains.

Hu Dawei was lucky, after escaping from the battlefield, he collected the rout all the way on the road, and finally when he returned to Zezhou, he gathered more than 3,000 officers and soldiers to join the city.

The officials of Zezhou were almost frightened and cried, three times the official army set out from Zezhou to suppress the Xingtian Army, but each time it was more and more defeated, this time it was hard to look forward to a large number of officers and troops, and the leader of the troops was still the famous general Hu Dawei of Shanxi, but in the end they were still defeated under the hands of the Xingtian Army, so they did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to send the news to Wu Fu who was sitting in Pingyang Mansion.

Wu Fu was also taken aback when he heard the news, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform Xu Dingguo, Zuo Guangxian and He Renlong, telling them to be more careful and not to repeat the mistakes of Hu Dawei, and at the same time ordered Hu Dawei to continue to collect the remnants of the army in Zezhou and wait for disposal.

After Xiao Tianjian led the army to defeat the officers and soldiers of Hu Dawei all the way, he simply cleaned up the battlefield, and then led his troops to quickly return to Shuangfeng Village with prisoners and captured materials, and handed over the task of clearing and suppressing the remnants of the local official army to the local township soldiers hiding in the mountains.

By the time Zuo Guangxian and Xu Dingguo learned the news, Xiao Tianjian had already led his troops back to Shuangfeng Village, and he did not stay in Shuangfeng Village for long, dividing the artillery team into two, half of them followed him back to Lotus Village, and half of them were led by Huang Shengqiang to stay in Shuangfeng Village, and at the same time brought back the soldiers and horses of the fourth battalion of soldiers under Liu Bao's command who had just been formed back to Lotus Village, and the rest of Li Xuanzhu's three battalions and Zhao Erdonkey and the two township barracks led by Jiang Cheng were also left to Li Xuanzhu, and Li Xuanzhu presided over the defense of Shuangfeng Village. And the Lotus Village is presided over by him personally.

After Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guang first learned the news of Hu Dawei's defeat, they were both startled at first, and then they were all furious, and said in their hearts that this group of thieves is too arrogant, on the one hand, let a small group of thieves drag their army, but on the other hand, they concentrated their forces to break the Hu Dawei army all the way in one fell swoop. Especially Xu Dingguo, and Hu Dawei are both colleagues in Shanxi, and they are also his generals, Hu Dawei has suffered such a big loss, can he not be angry?

So he immediately sent someone to Pingyang Mansion to intercede for Hu Dawei, and asked Wu Fu to give Hu Dawei a chance to atone for his crimes, so that Hu Dawei led the remnants to join them and attack the lair of the Xingtian Army together.

After receiving Xu Dingguo's plea, Wu Fu granted his request and sent an order to Hu Dawei, ordering him to immediately rectify his defeated army in Zezhou, and lead the remnants of his men to Yangcheng to join forces with Xu Dingguo, and allow him to make meritorious service and attack the enemy's nest.

After hearing the order, Hu Dawei did not dare to slack off, rectified the routed troops that had been gathered, and immediately made a detour to Yangcheng County to join Xu Dingguo.

On the ninth day of the first month of February, Hu Dawei led his troops to Yangcheng County and Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guangxian converged together, Xu Dingguo saw the group of routs led by Hu Dawei, almost lost his nose, and said that Hu Dawei brought more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, but these guys are just like calling Huazi, among them, there are actually a small half of them with bare hands, or a wooden stick, when the army was defeated, these guys didn't care about anything, and some people even lost their weapons on the way to escape, Hu Dawei did not receive new supplies in Zezhou, so he ended up with such virtue, and he did not look like an official army at all, but like a group of displaced people who had just been put together.

After a few days of their local exploration, the people of all townships and villages in Yangcheng County have escaped, and they can't even catch some people to help, and the Xingtian Army has also retreated into the Lotus Village and Shuangfeng Village in the south of the county, and has made a posture of stubborn resistance, and even Dongye Town has been given up by the Xingtian Army.

The Xingtian Army's move was ruthless enough, before the officers and soldiers came, they came to a strong wall in the local area, except for some empty villages, nothing was left for the officers and soldiers, which made these officers and soldiers very angry, originally they also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the Xingtian Army, and plundered on the way, on the one hand, to replenish their military rations, on the other hand, they could also take the opportunity to make some money, and even catch some women to have a good time, but they never thought that the people in the area controlled by the Xingtian Army hid in advance early, They couldn't grab anything if they wanted to along the way, but they couldn't divide their troops into the mountains to search for the people who fled into the mountains, so they were suffocated along the way.

After Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guangxian discussed, they began to think about joining forces to attack the old nest of the Xingtian Army, Lotus Village, but later they learned that the Shuangfeng Village of the Xingtian Army was also particularly important to the Xingtian Army, and almost all the weapons used by the Xingtian Army were produced in Shuangfeng Village. Determined to wipe out the Xingtian Army in one fell swoop this time.

After making a decision, the officers and soldiers immediately took action, looking for a guide who understood the situation of the Xingtian Army in the local area, and at the same time divided their troops and marched towards Lotus Village and Shuangfeng Village.

It turns out that when Xiao Tianjian swept the local area of Yangcheng half a year ago, some landlords took the initiative to surrender to the Xingtian Army and promised to pay field tax to the Xingtian Army, and the result was preserved, but among these people, many people were not willing, after all, most of them belonged to the Shilin class, under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, These families don't need to bear the taxes, but under the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army, they have to pay the Xingtian Army a real amount of 30 percent of the field tax every year according to their actual number of acres, so they all pay a lot of pain.

But in the past, the Xingtian Army firmly controlled this area, and they didn't have the strength to oppose the Xingtian Army, so they have always been very honest, let them pay taxes when they pay taxes, and let them do whatever they want, and they can be regarded as middle-of-the-road.

Now I heard that the official army sent tens of thousands of troops to suppress the Heavenly Army, and some of these people were ready to move, planning to take the opportunity to help the official army fight a turnaround battle, so when the Heavenly Army ordered the strong wall to clear the wilderness, some of them disobeyed the yang and waited for the arrival of the official army.

After the official army came, some of them jumped out, took the initiative to send people to find Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guangxian, asked to show them the way, and told the officials and soldiers what they knew about the situation of the Xingtian Army, and even told the officials and soldiers about some of the places where the common people in the nearby mountains were hiding. Cut off the head and bring it back with lime to serve as a number of beheadings.
