The general stationed in the capital city of Dengzhou was actually an empty shelf, and the person who was really in charge was Luo Hao, the brother-in-law of the Shandong General Army, who served as a guerrilla in Pinghai, and had an official rank similar to Zheng Zhilong.

After the chaos in Dengzhou, the task was naturally to send troops to conscript, and this kind of thing could not be handed over to outsiders to do, but fortunately, because Kong Youde defected from Dengzhou into the sea, the Ming court increased the strength of defense in the area of Dengzhou's capital city, so it was also quick to mobilize troops and horses.

Luo Hao soon led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Laiyang, and they also knew where the old camp of the Jiaozhou battalion was, and if they wanted to enter Dengzhou Mansion, Laiyang was the only way to go.

At the beginning of the army, Luo Hao was really elated, thinking that the opportunity to make a contribution had finally come, and there had been no battle in Dengzhou Mansion after Kong Youde's rebellion, and the soldiers were just guarding there. With such an opportunity this time, Luo Hao thought to himself, maybe he could remove the guerrilla hat on his head and go to the position of a staff member himself.

But after this idea left Dengzhou for thirty miles, he began to doubt, and after walking for three days, he became depressed, and the guerrilla Luo Hao wanted to withdraw to Dengzhou several times, but he also understood that if he withdrew, Qiu Lei, the chief soldier of Shandong, would definitely not spare himself.

Although there is a relationship with his sister, there are dozens of mothers-in-law in the back house of General Qiu, and the ghost knows if there are other brothers-in-law who are now in this position.

Guerrilla Luo Hao also knew that there were a lot of bandits in Dengzhou, and when they occasionally chased and suppressed, they could even collect some filial piety, so they turned a blind eye, who would have thought that these bandits and Xiangma were so rampant.

The army has only left the city for thirty miles, and they actually dare to harass the rear team to rob the baggage, to be honest, the combat effectiveness of this officer and soldier and the bandits is really not easy to compare, if the thief who can't survive to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, the officers and soldiers are still not afraid, and they will line up for a few rounds. The other party will collapse.

But most of the bandits and robbers in the capital city of Dengzhou were composed of routs and stragglers of Kong Youde's rebellion, and the conquest of Kong Youde was originally to mobilize the elite soldiers and horses nearby, and these soldiers were scattered in the countryside for various reasons, but they were familiar with the set of things that officers and soldiers fought for.

It's quite resilient to fight. I can't beat the ground and run fast, and then I followed closely, to say, the officers of the Dengzhou Mansion also have some friendship with these bandits, but no matter how the friendship is useless, the other party is still a fatal beating, the first day after leaving the city, it is good to say, the soldiers and horses in the Dengzhou Mansion have a good response.

Not at night when camping and sleeping. Torches were constantly being thrown into the battalion, and loud noises were made not far away, and when the officers and men were raised and went out to fight, they scattered in a hurry, and then the cycle began again.

Camp and rest at night, the military law of the Ming Dynasty is strictly forbidden for people to make loud noises, for fear that these very depressed soldiers will suddenly be "roared". Attacking each other led to the bombing of the camp, so that it is possible for the army of several thousand people to collapse overnight, and now the order in the camp is maintained well, but outside the camp is a riot.

The guerrilla Luo Hao also knew how to be powerful, and sent his subordinate troops out, and all the soldiers who disturbed and made a noise were immediately decided, and each department took turns to rest, so that the team of about 500 people was always in a state of imminent battle, which could be regarded as more stable. I didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.

The rest at night was not good, and when I got up late the next day, when I went on the road, the harassment was still there, but the officers and soldiers also strengthened their vigilance, so they were staring at the rear team and the baggage, Luo Hao had no choice but to send additional troops to protect the rear team and the baggage, if the grain road was cut off, it would definitely be a defeat.

On the first day, the bandits who came to harass Xiangma still had some foot soldiers. On the second day, it was all bandits on horseback, and there was a large mule and horse market at the junction of Shandong and Henan, and because of the horse administration, there was a tradition of raising horses in Shandong. Therefore, there are really a lot of people with horses in the green forest.

On the contrary, it was the officers and soldiers who guarded the town, because the horses consumed forage. Need someone to take care of it. It costs a lot, so in addition to the generals and personal soldiers. The fewer the horses, the better.

The horses were hanging in the distance, and when they saw that the defense of the Dengzhou soldiers was lax, they immediately came up to fight once, and ran away after hitting.

There was no good rest, and the tired Dengzhou soldiers were even more anxious, and the guerrilla Luo Hao had no choice but to camp early to rest, and at the same time, the platoon quickly returned to Dengzhou City to notify the garrison of Dengzhou Capital City, and sent more soldiers to guard the grain road, and they should be careful not to be taken advantage of. The situation at night is still like this, from the officers to the soldiers, almost no one can rest well, and on the third day, there began to be scattered deserters, who had no food or pay in the city, this time I thought that I could get some floating wealth, who would have thought that it would be so troublesome, why don't we also disperse to be bandits.

However, for the guerrilla Luo Hao, on the third day, because of his experience, he actually walked twenty miles, and when he camped at night, Luo Hao was relieved, according to this trend, he should arrive in Laiyang City in time. After arriving there, he will enter the city to defend it, will his Jiaozhou battalion still dare to attack the city openly.

On the fourth and fifth days, the defense was strengthened, and the way to deal with it was also understood, and the marching degree became faster and faster, and gradually reached a normal level, especially when passing through Qixia County, it was supplemented to a certain extent, and it was calculated that there should be four days to reach Laiyang, and the harassment of those bandits and horses was already sporadic, and it was not easy to see.

When Qixia City was out of sight, the sky gradually got dark, no one came to harass today, when camping, the soldiers' movements were quite fast, everyone's nervous vigilance these days, the anxiety of the whole night, today looks like there is nothing to do, should be able to rest well.

Guerrilla Luo Hao also thought so, and after a simple arrangement, he led the pro-soldier team to inspect the various camps, and then rested early.

Qixia to Laiyang area, the terrain is mountainous, the place where the guerrilla Luo Hao found is a Zhuangzi, this Zhuangzi is where the nearby village and town markets are located, and it is still prosperous and rich, but the Dengzhou soldiers are immediately poor when they cross the border, although the Dengzhou army is tired, there are some scruples about openly looting, and extortion is inevitable.

The guerrilla Luo Hao even hugged a girl from a big family and tossed for half the night, this is the satisfied sleep, the soldiers below are more or less a little money into the account, everyone is motivated, it is normal to send troops to fight, otherwise who will work hard!

As for the Zhuangzi, he didn't even dare to cry loudly, so he could only secretly admit that he was unlucky, thinking how good it would be to listen to the persuasion earlier, but now he was abused by these soldiers.

Just after the time, the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army who were standing guard in front of the big camp looked at the official road from a distance There were more than a dozen *** flashes, rubbing their eyes, for fear that they were wrong, and then looked at the past, and now they are not mistaken, but more than a dozen points of light are shaking there.

It's just that it's dark night, and some people don't understand whether it's a bright light in the distance or a point of light in the near distance, and it's inevitable to camp in such a place.

There was a dead silence in the camp, even if there was movement, it was all the soldiers snoring and dreaming, and the few guards looked at the front cautiously, thinking that it would not be too late to make sure and then report to the Shangguan, otherwise it would be light to be laughed at, and it would be possible to be whipped and lose their heads.

"That's a lantern?"

"I can't tell, why don't we go over and have a look?"

"What kind of bastard are you talking about, this dark sky is blind, you are far away from the camp, you are not afraid of being bitten by wolves."

"I'm not sure, if it's really ...... It's a lantern!! ”

The soldier guarding the door finally saw the truth, and immediately shouted with a hiss, at this time it was not the so-called night attack that was afraid, but the ghosts, who would run around in the field in the middle of the night with a lantern, almost a ghost, as the *** got closer and closer.

The panicked guards finally heard a muffled sound, as if it was the sound of countless footsteps falling to the ground, this was not a ghost, this was a night attack enemy.

The officers, who had been disturbed by the night watchman, were still there shouting loudly, but when they heard the voice, they all shouted:

"Someone steals the camp, someone steals the camp."

This kind of shouting is similar to the battalion roar, and it didn't take long for the entire camp of the Dengzhou army to boil immediately, scolding, crying, and even the sound of fighting.

Luo Hao ran out of his big tent shirtless, looked around, scolded a few words in his mouth, and hurriedly transferred his own pro-military battalions to let them go to various camps to suppress them, if it was really the enemy outside, if the troops were not organized quickly, I was afraid that if the other party did not rush, there would be chaos on their side.

More than a dozen large white lanterns got closer and closer, and even the horses could be seen carrying them with long poles, and they could also see the shadowy heads behind the lanterns, and at this time, Luo Hao's troops were still in the whole team, and the dozen or so big lanterns suddenly ran to both sides and stood in two rows.

In the middle of the two rows of lanterns, dozens of horses paced out, and one of them shouted:

"Sons, it's the front, rush with our family!"

At this moment, behind those lanterns, a huge shout broke out, and the noisy chaos in Luo Hao's camp was suppressed by this shouting and killing, and the dozens of horses were directly forced, followed by countless brave soldiers, and rushed towards the camp of the Dengzhou army...... I slept, and I don't know why I'm so tired, strange,
