With the approach of night, it rained all afternoon at this time, and it seemed that the soldiers who were sympathetic to the two armies began to gradually stop, and with Xiao Tianjian's order, the whole army of the Xingtian Army, which was rushing in the direction of Luzhou, immediately began to start the second trek in the mud, and the various departments began to follow Xiao Tianjian's deployment, under the leadership of the scouts, the night began to walk on the muddy road towards the location of the scattered officers and soldiers, and in the middle of the night, basically arrived at their designated positions, However, there were also a small number of troops who took the wrong route in the middle of the night and failed to reach the reserved position, but basically formed a semi-encircled circle with the officers and troops.

After a forced march in the middle of the night, the generals of the Xingtian army who arrived at the position were already exhausted, and because it was inconvenient to organize an attack in the middle of the night, the generals of all the troops ordered their subordinates to rest on the spot, and the soldiers who received the order immediately cheered, and fell to the ground one after another, many people held their feet, and by the light of the torches, they took out the big needles they carried with each other, picked up the blisters on the soles of their feet, squeezed out the water in the blisters, and then wiped their feet clean. They snuggled up to each other and immediately fell asleep, only a small number of sentries remained, and they were forced to patrol around the camp, if someone came to attack them at this moment, it was estimated that even the generals of the Xingtian Army would be in chaos on the spot, but unfortunately, who had the strength to attack them at this time?

There was snoring in a camp of the officers and soldiers, and a small number of soldiers who were ordered to be on duty got together to chat, scolding God, while secretly scolding their upper peaks, in such a ghost weather, they were forced to run so far in a day, and everyone's face was written with a look of worry, when they were in the Tuanshan camp, they still had some courage to fight against the Xingtian Army, but now they have evacuated the Tuanshan camp and ran to this place where Ma Pingchuan is, and there is no danger to defend around, And they didn't have any decent camp at all, and if the Xingtian Army suddenly came over at this time, they didn't know how to deal with it.

A few officers were quite self-conscious, although it was midnight, but still around the camp to check the sentry patrol, from time to time in the night there would be the sound of the generals scolding the lazy sentry guards, and occasionally there would be the sound of whip waving, which also added to the sense of depression in the air.

Suddenly, the officers and soldiers on duty found some figures in the dark, and the nerves that were already tense enough suddenly tightened, and they immediately picked up their knives and guns and shouted, "Who is over there?" Stop it! Don't stop anymore, Lao Tzu will release arrows! ”

But as soon as their roar fell, a group of ghostly people rushed out of the night, and suddenly there was a shout of killing, and then more and more black shadows appeared from the darkness, and rushed towards the camp of the officers and soldiers.

Several officers and soldiers on duty immediately turned around in fright and fled to the camp, while ringing the sound of the alarm gong, shouting in panic: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! The Heavenly Thief has been killed! ”

The officers and men who had been sleeping in the camp were suddenly awakened by the sound of the rapid gong, and they were busy touching their weapons and jumping up, and many of them did not even grasp the weapons in their hands in the confusion, so they jumped up empty-handed, and suddenly became chaotic, and for a time outside the camp at this time shouted and killed, and the officers and soldiers who had just woken up could not figure out from which direction the enemy had killed, and they crowded together in a chaotic manner, and began to run around in the camp.

As a result, the more panicked the more chaotic it became, and all of a sudden, the camp of the officers and soldiers was in chaos, and the generals yelled and shouted in the camp, trying to restrain their soldiers, but the shouting and killing outside the camp easily offset their efforts, and the panicked officers and soldiers could not stop at all.

In fact, the strength of the Xingtian Army that rushed to the official army camp is not much, that is, there are only about two or three hundred people, and these people do not even belong to the generals under the same system, among which the highest military rank is a team general surnamed Zhang, they are all stragglers who fell behind in the night march or were separated from the team, gathered together in the dark, and this team surnamed Zhang, called Zhang Hui, is a young officer from the martial arts hall, after encountering such a situation, he immediately showed his identity to the stragglers, As soon as everyone saw that he had the highest official position, in this case, the Xingtian Army had military regulations requiring them to obey the orders of the highest-ranking officers nearby, so these stragglers gathered under this Zhang Hui and obeyed his orders.

And this Zhang Hui because of the relatively low military rank, for many of the arrangements on the peak, is not very clear, and when he and the large army separated, they didn't even know what they were going to do next, at this time, they didn't know in what direction to look for the traces of the large army, under the black rumbling, they were basically lost, so this group of people under the leadership of Zhang Hui, bumped everywhere in the dark night.

Originally, Zhang Hui wanted to take these stragglers to find the main force, but he didn't think about it but found the wrong direction, and accidentally touched a camp near the camp of the official army, and in the dark, they didn't bring torches, it was raining everywhere, and they didn't find anything to ignite, so they could only pull each other in the dark night and lead each other to touch forward, one by one I don't know how many falls along the way, all rolled into mud monkeys, and by the light of the light, it was really a bit like a mountain ghost.

When they touched this official barracks, at first Zhang Hui and they thought that this was the camp of the Xingtian Army, and they were very happy to finally find the team, but when they walked over happily and were found by the official army sentry, they realized that they had found the wrong direction, but they touched the camp of the official army, Zhang Hui could have chosen to retreat with these stragglers, and it was estimated that the officers and soldiers did not dare to chase them in the dark, but Zhang Hui was born a thief and bold, and he was a guy who believed in adventurism.

That is, in a blink of an eye, he found the opportunity, so he immediately encouraged the stragglers he brought to attack the camp of this official army at night, and if he could fight, it would not be too late to run away if he could not beat them.

The soldiers of the Xingtian Army have already formed an unconditional trust in the authority of the officers in the years of training, since Zhang Hui is the biggest at the moment, then it is naturally he who has the final say, so these stragglers did not raise objections, but let Zhang Hui take the idea and they followed.

So Zhang Hui, the guy who had the courage to cover his body, decided to raid and led two or three hundred stragglers to rush to the official army camp, and although Zhang Hui was bold, he was not stunned, he was still very brainy, knowing that their men and horses could not play much role, so before they were killed, they scattered their subordinates and told them to shout and kill with their necks pulled at their necks, so that the officers and soldiers could not figure out their strength as much as possible. This was also relatively safer, so the two or three hundred people were divided into several groups, and under the leadership of a few chiefs or army commanders, they attacked the official army camp from several directions, and they roared one by one, pulling their necks, as if they were thousands of troops.

As a result, Zhang Hui, a bold guy, really went out of shit luck, and rushed with this group of stragglers, and scared the officers and soldiers who were already rumored to be bold, and the two or three hundred stragglers actually frightened thousands of officers and soldiers, and as a result, the officers and soldiers who couldn't figure out the state rushed to the outside of the camp, and as a result, they bumped into some stragglers who raided their Xingtian Army. In the dark, the officers and soldiers couldn't distinguish whether the people around them were friends or foes, so they collectively watched and killed indiscriminately, and in the end, this kind of slashing and killing developed into a battalion roar, and a large number of officers and soldiers killed each other in the dark.

This chaos has been chaotic until dawn is over, after the midnight fight, the officers and soldiers found that they fought in the middle of the night opponent is actually their own robe, then they have stopped, look again, these officers and soldiers are really crying, this half of the night, they cannibalism, the loss of a small half of the men and horses, this is not bad, even with a deputy general who led them, also in the middle of the night camp roar, inexplicably do not know who stabbed to death, as a result, the remaining officers and soldiers are leaderless, it is a big chaos.

Just when these remnants of the officers and soldiers were at a loss, flags jumped on the horizon, and a group of men and horses of the Xingtian Army appeared in front of them, and the leader was not someone else, it was Xiao Tianjian's general Li Xuanzhu.

In fact, in the second half of last night, Li Xuanzhu had arrived near this official army camp under the leadership of the scouts, but he unexpectedly heard the official army camp shouting to kill Zhentian from a distance, but Li Xuanzhu couldn't figure out the situation for a while, because when he led his troops to come, he knew that there were no large numbers of people from the Xingtian Army nearby, and it was his task to deal with this group of officers and soldiers, so when he led his troops over, he found such a situation, so he was also confused, and he didn't dare to join the war group easily for a while, so he could only collect the soldiers and horses. Scouts were sent to investigate the situation in the vicinity of the official army camp.

As a result, the scouts were outside the official army camp, and unexpectedly found some stragglers of the Xingtian Army, so they led them back to Li Xuanzhu, who was almost dawn to figure out the cause of the chaos from the mouth of Zhang Hui, who was brought back by the scouts, so he laughed and scolded Zhang Hui, and made a note for Zhang Hui and others, temporarily recruited them into the team, and waited until dawn, then led the troops to kill the official army camp.

This group of officers and soldiers had no main general, and as soon as they saw the brigade of the Xingtian Army, as a result, even if they were scattered, Li Xuanzhu led the troops to cover up and kill them, and this group of officers and soldiers was completely annihilated in this area, and only some of the smarter officers and soldiers escaped from the camp in advance last night, so that they were able to avoid being annihilated by the Xingtian Army.
