In the dark night.

In the city, in a landlord's compound, He Jin sat on the fire, Tian Bin looked at He Jin with a sad face, and He Jin was also at a loss.

Tian Bin said: "My lord, we will go out of the city tonight, and we can run as far as we can." ”

He Jin shook his head, "No, let the Qing army find out, we don't know how to die, there is a Niulu Tartar in Wuyi County, besides, those soldiers are not our old battalion, and they have no loyalty to us, once we are discovered, there must be someone among them who inform." ”

Tian Bin bit his lip, "Then only inform our old camp, how can there be more than three hundred people." ”

He Jin shook his head and asked, "You say, why does this Zhang Qiang dare to besiege the city with only 2,000 men?" ”

Tian Bin said: "It's not that the hundreds of firearms under his command are powerful, in the field, if we thousands of people rush over, they can't stop it, but no one is not afraid of death." ”

He Jin nodded, "Yes, the Ming army's firecrackers are too powerful, and they are really the best generals we have ever seen in our lives to use firearms, but unfortunately, if I had been able to unite with this person earlier, I ...... now." ”

Tian Bin's eyes rolled, "My lord, it's not too late now, the Qing army treats me as well as pigs and dogs, and has been sent to death many times, so it's better to continue my happy life anyway, no one cares, the sky is high and the birds fly, isn't it happy?" ”

He Jin waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears, besides, now that the Qing army is strong, the entire northern land, most of the south is owned by the Qing army, and the soldiers are sharp, who can't see that the Ming Dynasty is just lingering, and if you rebel at this time, where can you accommodate yourself in the future, can you learn from Lu Jianguo and sail on the sea?" We are all dry feet in the north, and we are not familiar with the sea. ”

Tian Bin looked at him and stopped talking, He Jin waved his hand, "Go down, the words just now are rotten in the stomach and cannot be known to outsiders." ”

Tian Bin bowed: "It's an adult." ”

As soon as Tian Bin walked out of He Jin's room, he heard the sound of footsteps, and in a blink of an eye, the courtyard door opened, and a He Jin general strode in, looked at him with disdain, and then walked to the outside window of He Jin's room with a cold snort, and said loudly: "My lord, General Liu will invite your Excellency to come over the house to discuss matters." ”

He Jin has not been disarmed until now, and when he heard it, he immediately said: "Gather your own soldiers and follow me to the county office." ”

Watching He Jin leave, Tian Bin's personal soldiers said, "My lord, do you think they want to attack the Ming army outside the city at night?" ”

Tian Bin snorted coldly, "Even you fool knows, can the Ming army outside the city know?" I see that they are meat buns and dogs, and there is no return," he paused, "just don't let He Jin go," he said.

The soldier said, "Then what if I have to wait?" ”

Tian Bin said: "Then I won't accompany them to death, you go and check the city gate with lax defense, prepare war horses and dry food, and we are ready to run away at any time." ”

The soldier said: "My lord, if you run, you have to be able to run, tens of thousands of troops, if you choose, we have to go, otherwise, General Liu is not easy to talk to,"

Tian Bin said angrily: "Stupid, you won't make preparations with both hands, be prepared, prepare dry food for the fleeing horses with one hand, and send someone to secretly contact the Ming army outside the city with the other hand to inform our army of the night attack, in exchange for the other party's understanding?" ”

The soldier thought about it and patted his thigh, "My lord." Tian Bin scolded in a low voice, "Get out." The soldiers immediately smiled and took a few soldiers to carry out Tian Bin's order.

He Jin entered the county hall and the others had already arrived first, He Jin strode forward, "The last general, He Jin, see Lord Liu." ”

Liu Guangbi was a native of the Han Army with a blue flag, originally from Liaoyang, Mao Cao, and a general in the early Qing Dynasty. In the first year of Shunzhi, from entering the customs, Li Zicheng was attacked. Rotate from Gushan Ezhen Yechen Shanxi, Ketaiyuan. For three years, he went down to Zhejiang from Duanzhong Prince Boluo, pulled Jinhua, and entered Fujian. For five years, he was a waiter in the Ministry of Rites.

At this time, due to the arrival of Zhang Qiang, Jinhua did not go down, previously supervised the Ming Dynasty general Liu Liangzuo as a Gushan Ezhen, but did not want to be defeated by Zhang Qiang Liu Liangzuo, he was awarded the position of the commander of the Qing army by the Tartar Belebolo, and followed Ruan Dacheng all the way to attack the Ming, so although he received the rank of general like others, but because he was the Qing Dynasty Tartar Han Army Bannerman, he was much more transcendent than the Ming army generals around him, of course, he was the main one.

Liu Guangbi glanced at He Jin and said in a deep voice: "Let's be in the ranks,"

Then he said to everyone: "I just thought, I have a strong city, and there are tens of thousands of troops, but I was besieged in the city by 2,000 people from the Ming Military Region, and if I don't attack, I am afraid that I will speak for others in the future, what do you generals think?" ”

Ma Weixing came out and said: "My lord, tonight I will lead my headquarters to attack the enemy camp at night, and I will definitely break the camp of the Ming army and bring back the head of the general of the Ming army." ”

Ma Bao also stood up and stood across the sword, "My lord, I want to go." ”

"Okay." Liu Guangbi was very happy, and said to He Jin: "General He, you take the men and horses of your department, meet the two generals at the city gate, see the two generals make meritorious contributions, lead the troops to rush to kill, expand the results of the battle, if the Ming army is prepared, you can quickly receive the two generals to withdraw, I will beat drums and cheer for the three generals on the city tower." ”

"Yes, sir."

He turned back to Qi Sansheng and said, "You lead your subordinates, garrison the city wall, inspect the city, and prevent the enemy from making careful plans to attack the city by taking advantage of the opportunity." ”

Qi Sansheng was very happy, and immediately bowed down and said: "The last general will obey the order, and he must be strictly guarded to the death, so that the Ming army will not have the slightest chance of taking the opportunity to attack the city." ”

Liu Guangbi stood up, "Prepare separately, go out of the city at the right time, and annihilate the remnants of the Ming army in one fell swoop." ”

When the crowd dispersed, Liu Guangbi called Qi Sansheng and said: "You are also prepared, if the others are defeated, you can take the opportunity to go out of the city from the east gate, attack the enemy's camp with cavalry, harass the enemy, and do not let the enemy take advantage of the situation to attack the city." ”

"Yes, sir." Qi Sansheng was very puzzled by Liu Guangbi's suggestion.

Is this distrust of other people? Or do you want to send yourself to death? Could it be that Liu Guangbi was also afraid of this Ming army? Yes, it must be, otherwise he would not have Chen Jiabu just guarding the city when he was defeated by the Ming army in the abandoned village of Bailuxi, and did not go to the rescue.

In the dark night, in Zhang Qiang's camp, a figure quietly crawled through the trench, and as soon as he raised his head, he was thrown to the ground by several black shadows, although he struggled, but it was useless, and a few punches hit him hard, so that he did not let out a scream, he fell unconscious.

"Check to see if there are any other enemy forces infiltrating?" A voice whispered.

"My lord, no, I've searched all around, but I haven't seen anyone following this person." Another voice whispered.

"Take it for interrogation and find out why he's here as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Zhang Qiang sat in the tent of the Chinese army, holding a yellowed, mutilated, vertically arranged traditional Chinese book, and looked at it carefully.

The oil lamp flickered in the darkness, emitting a stench of inferior sesame oil.
