In general, Tang Dianfeng is still very loyal to Zhang Qiang's rebel army.

But his loyalty can't save the Jinhua Righteous Army, and at this moment, because there are too many prisoners in the Jinhua Righteous Army, the combat effectiveness is actually very low.

The reason why he can insist is because he sent thousands of rebel troops, and the rebels will not compromise with the Qing soldiers in their hearts, they still have the will to resist the Qing soldiers in their hearts, and they keep their heads and hair, so that the behavior that violates the minimum bottom line in the hearts of the Ming Dynasty is the reason why the young and strong rebels resist the Qing army and fight to the death.

As cannon fodder, the captives could only be forced to fight, at least until they saw the obvious defeat of the rebels, and they could not escape the fate of being driven to death.

In three places, all three are fighting fiercely, and their opponents are just a few thousand green battalion soldiers, the green battalion, which is formed by Han people or Han traitors, and the Han people led by the Han people, young and strong, or doglegs, gangsters, thugs, and hooligans, compared to the righteous army, there is not much combat effectiveness, and the two sides are fighting in a situation.

Tang Dianfeng could breathe a sigh of relief.

And in Daqiao Town, Zhang Qiang was roaring at the ordinary family and the people like thunder, because these guys didn't want to go any further.

Zhang Qiang tried his best, but let them move forward for another two miles, and the rest of them stopped advancing.

The reason for this situation is that Su Guansheng changed his previous attitude and told Zhu Yujian to let the team take a break.

Zhu Yujian fled alone before, it was the wind and the roar, the grass and trees were all soldiers, and there was no guarantee of safety, so he fled non-stop, once someone escorted him, he still defeated the elite troops of the righteous army who were almost the same military strength of the Qing army, of course, he was also slack in his heart, and found Zhang Qiang and let Zhang Qiang stay overnight.

Despite Zhang Qiang's repeated statements, Emperor Kelongwu still hoped that Zhang Qiang would stay overnight.

Zhang Qiang had no choice but to order the troops to camp on the spot, and sent a cavalry squad of fifty people to the direction of Pingnan to convey the order and let Tang Dianfeng send someone to respond.

In the middle of the night, inside Zhang Qiang's tent, Zhang Qiang and Yang Yangyang muttered quietly.

"Yang Yangyang, now that we are surrounded by enemies, in the heart of the enemy, we have to be cautious, you lead the cavalry out of the camp quietly tonight, disperse away, and then ambush on the small hillside outside, remember not to light fires, not to make noise, wait for tomorrow morning, and then return to the camp."

"My lord, it should be the firecrackers who are out of the camp to ambush, and the cavalry can use their mobility to quickly break out of the enemy's encirclement, escape or attack the enemy."

Zhang Qiang said: "We can't go, I have to defend Emperor Longwu, since we are here, we have to bring the goods back, we can't run in vain, my firecrackers plus dozens of infantry, can completely deal with the enemy, I leave twenty cavalry by my side, you take the rest away, we have to give the enemy a fatal blow at the most critical moment." ”

"Of course, nothing is the best, if there is something, we will prepare early, even if we suffer a loss, we will not suffer a big loss."

After the two of them discussed, Yang Yangyang carefully informed the cavalry he brought out of the camp one by one, and the cavalry came out of the camp in twos and threes, as if they were going out to rotate the sentry cavalry, and gradually moved out of the camp.

After they left, Zhang Qiang's personal cavalry took over the cavalry camp, which was a good cover for the cavalry to disappear into the camp, making it seem that the cavalry was still there, just sleeping.

In the second half of the night, Xiao Yuanwai and his housekeeper converged again, and the housekeeper secretly said to Xiao Yuanwai: "In the middle of the night, when the sentry cavalry went out to change the guard, the family sent out came back, and he told us that a 3,000-strong Qing Han Army banner cavalry has arrived on the road ahead, and it is estimated that at dawn, we will be able to reach where we are, and they hope that we will cooperate with them, attack this rebel camp, and capture Longwu, which chief military officer said, he will definitely promote you to Lord Fan as Liupinzhi County, Let you go to a better, larger county to be a magistrate. ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xiao Yuanwai looked up at the moonlight that was not clear tonight, and his hands behind his back were distracted.

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Master, don't be half-hearted, you have already done it, it is impossible to keep it without being discovered, and the news will be leaked in the future, what do you think the emperor will think?" When the time comes, you are a high authority, but you are told that you wanted to betray the emperor in exchange for glory and wealth, did you fall down when you were so high, or do you want to get a real magistrate as soon as possible? ”

Xiao Yuanwai was a little depressed, and said in a sobbing voice: "I still betrayed the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the barbarians, which makes future generations look at me, what they say about me, and whether their descendants will feel that their ancestors have embarrassed them." ”

The housekeeper shook his head, "Master, don't think too much, that's a matter for the future, you can only do this now, it's hard to ride a tiger." ”

Xiao Yuanwai waved his hand, "Go, bring the Qing soldiers, gather our family members secretly, don't stretch it out." ”

"Cuckoo, cuckoo—" When the sky was slightly pale, a figure quietly appeared at the mouth of the valley not far from the camp, with his hands clasped to his mouth, and learned to call at a bush of grass.

"Frog frog frog—" A toad cry pierced through the morning darkness and came out of the grass on the other side.

The two sides waited for a few seconds, then got up together and approached each other, and several Qing soldiers in black and brown Qing soldier uniforms emerged from the grass, and one of them had a red tassel on top of his head.

"How?"

He asked as soon as he saw a man dressed in a robe and a melon-skin hat.

"My lord, my lord said that those rebels are still resting, except for the patrolling soldiers, everyone else is still asleep, but they have to be early, otherwise, in another quarter of an hour, they will get up and bury the pot to cook."

"You go and stabilize them, let's go and report back to the adults, let them get up, when the pot is buried and cooked, it is the time when the army's defense is the most lax, and when the time comes, our brigade of cavalry rushes over, and the enemy doesn't even have time to react."

On the other side of the camp, Zhang Qiang secretly transferred his musketeers out and lined up on the hillside not far away, and he would not let his guard down until he got definite news.

But he himself remained in the camp with twenty musketeers, dozens of infantrymen, and twenty chasseurs, deliberately patrolling everywhere, giving the impression that the army was still in the camp.

The darkness gradually dissipated, and the people in the camp began to get up to bury the pot and cook, Xiao Yuanwai walked on the way to ask Emperor Longwu for peace with his hands behind his back, followed by a few housekeepers and housekeepers, he suddenly stopped and said to the housekeeper: "Butler, don't you think that there are suddenly a lot fewer people in the camp?" ”

The housekeeper's face changed greatly, and he said to the family next to him: "Go and find out, where did the soldiers of the righteous army go?" ”

Xiao Yuanwai also said to the family members around him: "Go and call Mrs. and Miss, as well as other clansmen and people, immediately gather and load things into the car,"

On the hillside more than a mile away, 3,000 cavalry had already lined up, Ruan Jie looked at the general beside him and said, "Take a thousand cavalry and launch a frontal attack." ”
