The most important thing at the moment is to rush to Haizhou City as soon as possible and start quelling the chaos from there.

Lu Jingrong was actually a little anxious, because he had been leading his troops out for more than half a month, and there had been no substantial progress at all so far.

Lu Jingrong was in a dilemma, on the one hand, he wanted to rely on the three main barracks he brought out of Qingzhou Mansion to complete the rebellion and make great contributions, so that Wang Dashuai could be impressed.

On the other hand, he was a little worried, worried that if he couldn't quell the chaos in time, it would not affect the reputation of the Shandong army, and if he sent Xing Yidao and Liu Xiong to help in the battle, it would be simple to quell the chaos, but the credit was divided between three people.

However, all of this will have to wait for Lu Jingrong to settle down in Haizhou and find out the real situation before making a decision.

Not to mention, the team without most of the rebels marched at least four or five times faster, and arrived at Gaojiazhuang, ten miles away from Haizhou City, before dark.

"Looking at this speed, it should be just right to get to Haizhou City after dark, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

A Qian general manager looked at the ruined village in front of him, and sighed in his heart at the same time with relief, since he walked out of the Shandong territory, this kind of defeat can be seen almost everywhere, and now he is a little surprised.

Suddenly, Lu Jing Rong raised his hand and quietly sounded that something was wrong with the situation, it was too quiet, and the silence made people stand up goosebumps.

"Kill!"

"Brothers, kill the dogs!"

Several black broken flags suddenly rose on the low loess wall of Gaojiazhuang, and countless bandits in ragged clothes swarmed out with knives and hammers.

Lu Jingrong breathed a sigh of relief, although he was a little surprised now, he didn't care, just because these bandits could still move three battalions of the Shandong army.

Just as he was about to calmly issue a military order, suddenly a sentry officer hurriedly ran and shouted from afar:

"General, we have horse thieves outflanking us behind!"

Another thousand general manager ran and shouted:

"General, an unknown number of thieves on the left have rushed out!"

"It's the same on the right, it looks like a bandit and a bandit came together!"

This series of news shocked Lu Jingrong's brain, these thieves were so bold that they actually ambushed themselves less than ten miles from the state city.

Thinking of this, Lu Jingrong couldn't calm down anymore, and just pulled his neck and shouted:

"Send someone to Haizhou City to ask for help!"

"Obey!"

One of the pacesetters immediately turned over on his horse, gave a military salute on his horse, patted the horse's belly with the back of his sword, and walked away.

No matter how many people will come, at least they can help the Shandong army distract the attention of the thieves, and seeing that the pacesetter asking for help has gone away, Lu Jingrong took out his knife and shouted:

"Merchants and people are inside, shrink the formation!"

The queue of the Shandong army was relatively long, and the other party came prepared, and it was ambushed here for a long time, although Lu Jingrong's order was issued quickly, how could the soldiers run past the four-legged fast horses, and there was no time to line up before the horse thieves who suddenly rushed out.

The front and the middle are fine, there is the foundation of the usual drills, and they will soon come back and be ready for battle, but a battalion after the break is directly intercepted by the horse thieves shouting on the way in, although the soldiers have cloth and iron armor, but there is not much good fruit to eat under the high-speed impact of the horses.

Not long ago, the Qian Zong who dealt with the troubles of the troubled people came again, and this time he directly knelt on the ground with red eyes, and roared with red eyes:

"General, the brothers are surrounded and can't escape!"

According to what this Qian general said, the broken main barracks was directly dispersed by horse thieves on the way into the queue, and he was caught off guard, and the effort in less than half an hour turned out to be heavy casualties.

"What, hundreds of horse thieves!?"

Lu Jingrong was taken aback, now the cavalry battalion of the Shandong Army is more than 1,000 people, how can he be ambushed by so many horse bandits and bandits just after he arrived, things are definitely not so simple!

"General, what should I do?"

Now the formation of the two battalions in the back has been listed, once the formation of the Shandong Army is listed, it will not be shaken easily, which is also the confidence that military discipline and sufficient training bring to Lu Jingrong, but there is a whole battalion of brothers in the back!

Could it be that he just watched these thousand brothers being slaughtered by these scumbags, thinking of this, Lu Jingrong no longer had any hesitation, turned around and shouted:

"The brothers in the back are surrounded by thieves, who dares to go with the general to kill them without leaving a piece of armor!!"

"There's my brother inside, I'll go!"

"General, you can give orders, let's listen to you!"

The ordinary drill training of the Shandong army made everyone like brothers, eating and sleeping together, sweating together, and shedding blood to make military merits together, this brotherhood soon covered up the initial panic, and the soldiers of the other two battalions all raised their swords and guns and shouted.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Lu Jingrong laughed a few words and shouted:

"Brothers, the marshal said that there are no generals who run away in the Shandong Army, and there are no bad breeds who will not be rescued when they see death, even if we die today, we will die on the way to the charge!"

"Yes, we will never embarrass the Shandong Army!"

......

"Poof!"

"Ahh~"

The sound of knives and guns entering the flesh was mixed with screams, and it was endless.

The horse thieves whizzed past the Shandong soldiers with their knives, and suddenly were attacked by hundreds of horse thieves, even the well-trained Shandong soldiers suffered heavy losses, but they still stubbornly gritted their teeth and persevered.

Everyone has a belief that no matter how many casualties are paid, the reputation of the Shandong Army cannot be dishonored.

No matter how the horse thieves rushed to kill, the banner at the rear of the Shandong army has always been standing, flying high among the soldiers, one person fell, and the other struggled to get up and carry the banner.

As long as the military flag does not fall, the Shandong army will not be defeated!

"Chai Ye, this Shandong army is really unusual, our eighteen families have been dormant here for a long time, and they haven't been able to hit it, tsk~"

A horse thief wore a black veil and only showed his wolf-like eyes, apparently not wanting to be known.

Hearing what he said, Chai Ye, who was also covered with a face scarf, sneered and snorted:

"Those salt merchants thought that they would be able to recapture the salt road by inviting the Shandong army to come with money, but they never expected that our eighteen gentry would unite, and the horse team would have 500 people, and who would know if they were dressed as bandits and bandits?"

"Besides, I heard the news a few days ago, that Wang Zheng took the twelve battalions of soldiers to follow Yang Lao'er to fight Zhang Xianzhong, and the Central Plains stirred up by Zhang Thief was turned upside down, how could it be so easy to exterminate. In my opinion, the Shandong army will definitely come out, and it is estimated that there are only so many people who can be used in the end. ”

At first, the horse thief smiled coquettishly and said:

"What Chai Ye said is extremely true, the Shandong army is afraid that after this defeat, it will not only have a dishonorable reputation, but also give them a long memory, we Huai'an has the protection of Chai Ye, how can it be comparable to ordinary land, and dispel the idea of seizing the salt road as soon as possible!"

Chai Ye's eyes were bent into the moon, and he was obviously very useful for this set of whiskers, and said confidently:

"Listen, after these broken Shandong soldiers are eaten, how many can be killed left, it is estimated that the heavily damaged Shandong army should be retreating in Haizhou City, and also teach those salt merchants who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth to see, which one has the final say in this realm!"

The two were discussing how to hunt down the defeated soldiers in Shandong, but suddenly heard a shout of killing from the front.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Chai Ye raised his eyes and was taken aback.

A Shandong army general wearing iron armor personally raised his sword into battle, and was leading the Shandong soldiers in red clothes and red armor to shout and kill all over the mountains.

This kind of indomitable formation is like an army of tens of thousands following behind, and even Chai Ye and a few horses around him are a little restless and snorting.
