On the eighth day of the fifth month, a large number of Xingtian troops began to move again in the area of Fengyang Mansion, with Liu Yao's main department, Luo Li and Li Xuanzhu's department as the auxiliary, and Situ Liang's cavalry as a mobile force.

Although Huang Degong has the nickname of Huang Chuangzi, he can be regarded as a fierce general in the current court, but his bravery also depends on who is right, over the years when he dealt with Zhang Xianzhong and the fifth battalion of the revolutionary left, it can be said that he has shown his might, and has won many battles, but since he was ordered to enter Henan to deal with the Xingtian Army, he began to suffer repeated deflations, and he will definitely be defeated and lost in every battle, and he was almost wiped out by the Xingtian Army several times, especially in the battle of Runing Mansion, Huang Degong was almost captured alive by the Xingtian Army, if he didn't run fast, If he escaped into Sun Yingyuan's camp, it is estimated that there will be no such person as Huang Degong now.

So don't look at Huang Degong's ups and downs, now he is still reused by the imperial court, and his command has pulled up tens of thousands of horses, but when it comes to the Xingtian Army, his head is a few big, this time the Xingtian Army sent Nanzhili and defeated Fengyang Mansion, he knew that his unlucky days were coming again, in the past two years, he tried not to fight with the Xingtian Army as much as possible, although he was ordered to attack Wuchang Mansion some time ago, but he walked carefully along the way, and never showed his bravery, So much so that in the end, Ding Qirui and the others failed to break through the defense line of the Xingtian Army in Huangzhou and Ezhou, and missed the great opportunity to recover Wuchang Mansion in vain.

After learning the news that the Xingtian Army attacked Nanzhili from Suzhou, Huang Degong was ordered to withdraw the army back to defend Luzhou, and now under Ding Qirui's strict order, he had to be dispatched from Wan Yuan Ji and led his troops to Fengyang Mansion to kill, but after walking to Tuanshan, whether it was him or Wan Wan Ji, they all thought that they could not hit it so directly, the strength of the Xingtian Army in Fengyang Mansion was very strong, and it could even be said that the strength of the troops was not weaker than their official army, and with the combat power of the official army, it was impossible to beat the Xingtian Army stationed in the area of Fengyang Mansion. Therefore, both of them thought that it was unwise to rush into the army, so after thinking about it for a while, after reaching the area of Tuanshan, they stopped and watched the limelight first.

In the eyes of Wan Yuan Ji and Huang Degong, Ding Qirui wants them to recover Fengyang Mansion, in this case, it is basically impossible, the Xingtian Army gathered tens of thousands of troops in Fengyang Mansion, and they went just to find death, so they invariably wanted to deploy defenses in the Tuanshan area, as long as they could stop the Xingtian Army from continuing to attack Luzhou, it would be considered a great achievement.

If Shangfeng urged him tightly, then they could only wait for Sun Yingyuan to kill Fengyang Mansion from the other side before they could cooperate with Sun Yingyuan to attack Fengyang Mansion, but as the defeated generals of the Xingtian Army, they all knew very well that with Sun Yingyuan's troops, it was basically impossible to fight Fengyang Mansion.

Therefore, after they arrived in the area of Tuanshan, they ordered the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the whole army to camp in the same place, arranged a large camp that stretched for more than ten miles, and built a defense line on Tuanshan one after another, making a posture of not showing their heads.

Originally, Xiao Tianjian also wanted to give Huang Degong and Wan Yuan Ji a head-on attack on them, but this plan fell into the open space, so that Xiao Tianjian ended up stealing chickens and rice this time, and as a last resort, Xiao Tianjian had to lead his troops out of Fengyang Mansion and took the initiative to attack Huang Degong.

Thinking about Huang Degong, a fierce general in the late Ming Dynasty, who was actually made by the Xingtianjun and now becomes a shrinking bird, it is no wonder that Xiao Tianjian's plan will fall into the void.

Fengyang Mansion is only a few dozen miles away from Tuanshan, and there are two small rivers to pass on the way, but this is not an obstacle for the Xingtian Army with a professional engineering unit, so in just one day, all the people and horses killed to the old cotton mountain north of Tuanshan and set up a large camp.

After Wan Yuanji, Huang Degong, and Kong Zhen learned the news of the head-on killing of the Xingtian Army, they all ordered to close the gate like a frightened bird, and could not hold out, and entrenched on the regimental mountain to hug 40,000 horses into a ball, with the intention of not going to war, and strictly ordered the officers and soldiers to rush to work day and night, dig trenches around the camp, erect walled walls, set up all kinds of deer barricades, and reject horses.

After Xiao Tianjian led the troops to Laomian Mountain, he immediately led the staff officers to the foot of the regimental mountain, and began to observe the entire regimental mountain official camp. He has developed a set of effective methods.

What is more ridiculous now is that the Xingtian Army, which is less than 30,000, actually surrounded more than 40,000 officers and troops in the place of Tuanshan, and a large number of Xingtian Army scouts brazenly ran around outside the official army camp, and even unscrupulously approached the outside of the official army camp, staring at the official army camp.

However, the officers and soldiers in the camp looked at the scouts and cavalry of the Xingtian Army outside the camp, and they were stunned that they could not fight, and only when the scouts of the Xingtian Army were too close to their camp, they would open cannons or fire arrows and crossbows to drive the scouts of the Xingtian Army away from the camp, but they always closed the door and did not dare to come out.

"Haha! The morale of the officers and soldiers is completely lost, and it is really ridiculous to want to stop us from attacking Luzhou with just such a way of fighting! After Xiao Tianjian saw the performance of the officers and soldiers, he sat on the saddle and waved the horsewhip with a relaxed face, pointed to the large camp of the officers and soldiers in front of him, and smiled at the generals who followed him.

The generals also looked at this large camp of officers and soldiers that stretched for several miles with disdain, and they all asked for their orders to fight first.

"It's good! Let's see how much Huang Degong has grown in the past two years! Luo Li! Come first in this first battle! Xiao Tianjian nodded and smiled.

Luo Li took the order as soon as he jumped to the height, and early the next morning, Luo Li ordered the four battalions under his command to drive to the foot of the regimental mountain and began to set up the formation, while Xiao Tianjian led the remaining soldiers to watch the enemy formation behind him, and once Luo Li broke through, he immediately waved his division to assault, striving to tear the camp of the official army in one fell swoop and defeat it at the foot of the regimental mountain.

Luo Li is a well-known war maniac in the Xingtian Army, he must be very excited in battle, and he likes to take the lead in rushing to the front, and at the same time, Luo Li's kung fu is very good both immediately and step down, after these years of conquest, although he has suffered countless injuries, but he has not asked for his life once, and the unlucky thing is his mount, over the years, Luo Li's war horse has died at least twenty or thirty horses, it can be seen that this guy's luck is good enough, with such a main general, Luo Li's generals naturally dare to use their lives, Often the task of assault will fall on them, and they can exert strong combat effectiveness every time they go into battle, which is why Xiao Tianjian used Luo Li in the first battle.

In Xiao Tianjian's view, although the official army camp here is built on the mountain, it seems relatively strong, but no matter how strong it is, it can't stand up to the city, they have been quite experienced in fighting tough battles in the past few years, and in the face of such an official army camp, it should be no problem, I dare not say that it will be broken with a drum, and I can't last long if I want to come to this official army camp.

So when it was decided to storm the official army camp, the Xingtian army felt that it was not a big problem, and they didn't pay much attention to it, and under Xiao Tianjian's supervision, they stood up from a distance, and watched Luo Li's troops rush towards the official army camp.

Wan Yuan Ji and Kong Zhenhui both climbed to the top of the high Chinese army watchtower, looking down the mountain, when they saw the Xingtian Army lined up outside the camp, the two of them couldn't help but gasp, Kong Zhenhui has been sitting in Chuzhou in recent years, basically has not fought with the Xingtian Army, but in the past, he led the men and horses to fight with the five battalions of Gezuo in the territory of Nanzhili, but this time it was the first time to fight with the Xingtian Army, so when I saw the large array of the Xingtian Army after the battle under the mountain, it was as neat as a tofu block, He was immediately shocked, he had never seen a soldier and horse can be so clean, more than 10,000 people lined up in front of the army, the speed of the whole team, the neatness of the queue, the cleanliness of the army, he has never seen it, faintly separated by several miles, but he can still feel a murderous aura rushing towards his face, even a pig can see that this Xingtian army is a soldier and horse who have been tempered and battled for a hundred battles and rolled in a pool of blood, which is by no means comparable to the officers and troops under their command at present.

However, in the past two years, Wan Yuan Ji has led his troops to fight with the men and horses of the Xingtian Army in the Luzhou area, and he seems a little calm, but in the past, he led his troops to fight with the men and horses of the Xingtian Army, often at most two or three thousand people, even if it is a big battle, there has never been such a small area of tens of thousands of horses as now, although Wan Yuan Ji seems calm on the surface, in fact, the hands he clenched still betrayed the tension in his heart.

"The thief is so strong, it is really the only time a student has ever seen it in his life! No wonder, no wonder! Kong Zhenhui's official position is less than 10,000 yuan, so he modestly regarded himself as a student in front of 10,000 yuan, and stood on the watchtower and said to 10,000 yuan.

"That's right, the Xingtian thieves are different from other thieves, when they became an army, they are known for their bravery, every time they go out to fight, they are all elite soldiers, and they will never win by numbers, the soldiers under the command of Xiao Xingtian are mostly warriors who dare to fight, with sufficient drills, strict military discipline, and every battle will be like an arm and a finger, and there will never be an escape from the battle, and the firearm is sharp and abnormal, and a large number of equipment in the army is equipped with birds, once released like a rainstorm, no one can stop it! Therefore, our army must not go out of the camp to fight with it, and the best plan for now is to defend the camp to the death! Wan Yuan Ji made a very knowledgeable posture and explained to Kong Zhenhui.
