The battle was fierce from the very beginning, and the Shun army attacked completely regardless of life and death.

In fact, the Shun army has reached the end of the road, and after giving up Kuizhou, they have even lost their last nest.

Li Guo and other generals of the Shun army knew that since they left Kuizhou with their troops, Kuizhou was no longer owned by them, and Zhang Xianzhong must have sent troops to occupy Wanxian Kuizhou and other riverside cities. If this battle fails, even if they can escape back to Kuizhou, they will have to rely on others, and even be swallowed up by Zhang Xianzhong.

Therefore, even for the fate of himself and the Shun army, he had to fight to the death!

Zhang Xianzhong did not intend to let the Shun army die in vain, but tried his best to provide food and weapon support, and even transferred 100 cannons from the army to the Shun army.

The army under the city fired a hundred cannons, countless shells fell into the city, the city, the battlements of the city head were broken, the bricks and stones were flying, and the houses in the city collapsed.

The soldiers of the Shun army completely ignored the casualties, attacked the head many times, and fought with the Ming army.

The Ming army relied on the geographical advantage to fight desperately to drive the Shun army from the city.

The fierceness of the battle was that even Hao Shaoqi, who was accustomed to seeing life and death, was secretly frightened, not to mention a civilian official like Li Wentao, the imperial history of the prison army, who was still silent and trembling like chaff under the protection of a bunch of personal guards sent by Hao Shaoqi.

Fortunately, Jingzhou is an important town in Huguang, and there are as many as 70,000 Ming troops in the city.

At sunset, the Shun army finally retreated like a tide, and the Ming army at the head of the city breathed a sigh. Counting the losses, the Ming army suffered at least a thousand casualties, and judging from the corpses piled up under the city, the casualties of the Shun army were several times that of the Ming army.

"Hou Ye Hao, we can't fight like this, this official has a plan, we can send troops to attack the camp of the Shun army at night, and we will definitely be able to make it riot, not to mention defeating the Shun army, at least they will not have the energy to attack the city tomorrow."

The battle stopped, and Li Wentao, the imperial historian of the supervising army, also eased up and suggested to Hao Shaoqi.

Hao Shaoqi thought about it carefully and nodded. Li Wentao's calculation is not very clever, but it is indeed as Li Wentao said, even if they can't defeat the Shun army, they can make their camp full of fear, and they will not have the energy to attack the city tomorrow.

After deciding to adopt Li Wentao's strategy, Hao Shaoqi immediately dispatched an army of 5,000 men, led by his henchman Lu Dayou, so that they did not have to clean up the battlefield, but immediately ate and rested, and waited only to go out of the city after midnight to attack.

"General, do you have a mission?" After announcing the order, a thousand households asked the chief soldier Lu Dayou with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, let you go to bed early, don't pull the sloppy belt when you go out to the army, then Lao Tzu won't spare you!" Lu Dayou scolded, so Qianhu smiled and took people away.

At the beginning of the shift, a hundred households of the Ming army suddenly flashed out of the barracks in the city and walked to the head of the city, because he was wearing the uniform of the Ming army, the defenders of the city did not care, and some acquaintances also greeted him.

Seeing that there was no one around, Baihu quickly took out a rope from his waist and tied it to the battlement, then turned over and jumped out of the city wall, pulled the rope and slid down the city, and disappeared into the night.

At the third watch, the south gate of Jingzhou quietly opened, and the 5,000 soldiers who had already been assembled quietly went out of the city under the leadership of the general soldier Lu Dayou, and turned to the west with the help of the snow, and touched towards the camp of the Shun army.

Because of the snow and freezing, the Shunjun camp was not very strong, but only built a low wall, and then used snow to pile the low wall higher. It may be that the Ming army did not dare to sneak attack because of its large number of people, and its defense was not tight, and there were only a few troops for brief patrols.

Inside the camp of the Shun army, countless bonfires were lit, and countless soldiers of the Shun army lay on the ground by the bonfires, driving away the cold in the field, and there were too many people and material shortages, and they simply did not have enough tents to cover the cold. I don't know how many people will never be able to get up again after the night.

Through the low wall, looking at the pitiful appearance of the soldiers of the Shun army in the camp of the Shun army, Lu Dayou, who was about to launch a sneak attack, did not feel a little sad, because he was also one of them half a year ago.....

But now that they belong to different camps, they can't relent, and even in the face of their former companions, they have to raise their butcher knives.

Lu Dayou sighed secretly, waved the steel knife in his hand, and five thousand soldiers rushed out from his side, killing towards the Shunjun camp.

However, the camp of the Shun army was quiet, and the soldiers lying by the bonfire were still lying, and even the Ming army that suddenly entered could not wake them up.

A group of Ming soldiers rushed to the campfire and slashed at the lying soldiers, but there was no imaginary blood rushing and rolling down the heads, and the slashes were like slashing straw. It's really a straw, look at it, where is the Shun army soldiers, and the scarecrow lying on the bonfire is clearly a scarecrow with clothes!

Hit the trick!

At this moment, the shouts of killing sounded, and countless arrows came towards the sneaking Ming army like locusts.

The sneak attack failed, but was ambushed, the morale of the Ming army was suddenly lost, looking at the countless Shun troops who were killed with torches in the dark night, many Ming soldiers let out desperate screams.

"Kill Lao Tzu and go back to the city!" Lu Dayou clenched his steel teeth, wielding his long knife to fight at the forefront, and dozens of guards closely guarded his left and right.

Tens of thousands of Shun troops surrounded and surrounded 5,000 Ming troops to slaughter.

At the moment of life and death, Lu Dayou burst out with unprecedented bravery, and the long knife was invincible, and he actually let him cut his way out of the encirclement.

More than 1,000 soldiers followed him out of the Shun army camp, and when he turned around, countless Shun soldiers were out of the camp to chase and kill, and most of the remaining subordinates were still trapped in the camp and had no time to exit.

Lu Dayou knew that those people couldn't be saved, and he couldn't save them, so he had to flee towards Jingzhou City with his men who rushed out.

At the head of the city, Hao Shaoqi observed the movement of the Shunjun camp in the distance with a serious face, he heard the shouting of killing, and saw the chaos of the Shunjun camp. But the shouting and killing did not last long, and then there were shadowy figures running back towards Jingzhou, so Hao Shaoqi knew that the sneak attack had failed.

Lu Dayou fled back to Jingzhou with the rout, looking at Lu Dayou's panicked face under the torches, Hao Shao ordered the city gate to be opened and the rout soldiers entered the city, but was stopped by the prison Li Wentao.

"It's too dark, beware of spies from getting in, you can order General Lu to lead the troops to retreat to the river, and wait until dawn." Li Wentao said.

Hao Shaoqi nodded, and ordered the soldiers to give orders to Lu Da under the city.

The city gate was not opened, and the defeated soldiers who fled back from the city fell into despair, many people scolded and clamoured angrily, but Lu Dayou knew the general situation and pressed it. Suddenly, a person rushed out from behind him, and a spear pierced from Lu Dayou's back, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Sure enough, there were spies involved, Hao Shaoqi looked at Lu Dayou's corpse sadly, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
