Chapter 48: Surprise Attack (2)

The reaction speed of the camps of other big bosses outside the camp was relatively slow, and there was even a certain amount of chaos in some places. However, these rashes did not last long, and most of the camps gradually stabilized.

Some of them, who don't know whether it was the rout of the other camps or the attackers, appeared around the camp of Jinding Mountain.

The garrison issued a warning to them, but these men were still close to the camp of the Jindingshan people, and when they were within ten paces, Jindingshan attacked these targets indiscriminately with firearms and crossbows.

After about two quarters of an hour, there was some commotion in the camp of a few big bosses in the distance. Calm has returned to the surroundings of Jinding Mountain, and the camp on the east side of Jinding Mountain, which was previously tight, has also returned to normal at this time.

Zhang Mengcheng, the leader of the camp to the east, with the rapid support of Ho Zongwei, the leader of the Chinese camp, successfully repelled the attackers' attack.

And Zhou Shaoteng and Guan Zhiqing on both sides of Zhang Mengcheng's camp, they also sent troops to counterattack the enemy's rear in the previous attack, and the troops sent out at this time had already returned to the camp with the results of the battle.

When the night is over, the light returns to the earth. The leaders of Jindingshan finally discovered that the people who died around their camp, except for some scattered people in the camps of some other big bosses, were mostly dressed as officials and soldiers.

From the collection of a half-burned military flag, Zhang Mengjin and his brothers saw the key words "Dingbian" and "Zhang". It seems that most of the people who attacked them in the middle of the night were Zhang Yingchang, the deputy commander-in-chief of Dingbian.

Someone was only sent to contact Zhao'an yesterday, and a surprise attack was launched on them in the middle of the night, and it seems that the government is uneasy and kind. Zhang Mengjin quickly led people to the big tent in Shen Yikui's camp and demanded to start a counterattack immediately.

After Zhang Mengjin arrived, Cai Xiaozi and other masters at the top of Artemisia also arrived one after another. Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with the double-faced behavior of the imperial court, claiming that they would destroy the newly arrived officials and soldiers outside the city, and then they would take down Qingyang Mansion and repeat what they had done in Heshui County.

It's just that at this time, Liu Keguan, who was tied aside, suddenly shouted and said, "Don't be impulsive, you leaders, most of this matter is misunderstood." Lord Yang only sent me out the day before yesterday, and I arrived here yesterday. I'm afraid that some officers and soldiers don't know the Governor's order to recruit An, and I am willing to take out the Governor's token to let the officers and soldiers outside retreat. ”

Miao Guangxian, who was also tied up, also shouted that this was a misunderstanding, and the leaders should not be impulsive.

After hearing Liu Keguan's words, many leaders quieted down. But there are still leaders who are indignant, and Ru Chengming is one of them. The damage caused by last night's attack was a large part of his battalion. And half of the six guns lost were from his camp.

Ru Chengming kicked Liu Keguan and Miao Guang down twice, and then rushed up and beat them non-stop. At the same time, he scolded while beating: "You two dogs don't make a sound, Lao Tzu almost forgot about you." You really think we are stupid, you came to the camp yesterday to appease, and at night we were attacked. If it wasn't for your government, what else would it be? I will take out your hearts and livers and use them to give us a flag. ”

After speaking, Ru Chengming also pulled out a knife to relieve his head, and he was about to stab Liu Kezuo's body.

"Don't be busy with what you say, what he said may not be false." Zhang Mengjin reacted quickly after receiving the hint from his third brother. Earlier than the other big bosses, he grabbed Ru Chengming's hand holding the knife and stopped the gangster's impulse.

At the same time, his third brother Zhang Mengcheng came to Liu Keguan's side, helped Liu Kezheng up from the ground with both hands, and untied the hemp rope tied to him for Liu Kezuo. Seeing the movements of the Zhang brothers, Cai Xiaozi also untied the hemp rope on Miao Guangxian's body.

Ru Chengfame, who has always been unruly, still stared at Liu Keconsiderable and Miao Guangxian viciously. But he finally gave Zhang Mengjin face and did not continue to attack the two.

Because Zhang Mengjin is not only one of the most powerful leaders under Shen Yikui. Some time ago, under the security city, it was also Zhang Mengjin's brothers who carried the banner for him at a critical moment.

Moreover, in the subsequent raid on the rear of the official army, attacking Heshui County, Zhang Mengjin's brothers all showed unparalleled bravery. Even the god who is in charge of the plate has to give Zhang Mengjin some face, if Ru Chengming blindly offends Zhang Mengjin, it is definitely not a good choice.

Liu Kezuo, who was kicked several times, took a few breaths after getting up, and it took a while to calm down. Although he was very dissatisfied with these thieves in his heart, he still understood the truth that the overall situation was important. Therefore, after Liu Keguan tried to calm down, he immediately spoke: "Governor Yang gave me a token before sending us, and I am willing to take the token to meet Zhang Yingchang, the deputy general of Dingbian, if you don't believe me." You can tie me up in front of Zhang Yingchang's army, if Zhang Yingchang refuses to withdraw from the army, you can dispose of me at will. It's just that Yang Du's painstaking preparation of the situation is afraid that it will all be in vain. Do you really plan to be a thief for the rest of your life, and I hope you will cherish this opportunity now. ”

Miao Guangxian also went on to say at this time: "Lord Yang is definitely not cheating, I am willing to continue to stay in your leaders' camp as a hostage, please ask your leaders, let Brother Liu go out to persuade the officers and soldiers to retire." ”

Shen Yikui discussed it with a group of leaders under him, and felt that it would be good to give it a try, so he asked Liu Keconsiderable to go to Zhang Yingchang's front.

Zhang Mengcheng firmly believed in Yang He's recruitment move, and accepted the task in person despite the opposition of his eldest brother. It's just that when Zhang Mengcheng rode out of the camp on horseback, he immediately cut the rope tied to Liu Kewei's body.

Zhang Mengcheng put on a sincere face and said: "Our Zhang brothers really hope to be appeased by the imperial court, no matter whether Your Excellency is really a fraud this time. I will send you back to the camp of the official army, and I will not hurt you in the slightest. I just hope that Your Excellency will return to the Governor and convey to the Imperial Court once again our thoughts of Zhao'an. ”

Liu Ke looked at Zhang Mengcheng, and also put on a serious expression and said: "Yang Du is sincere, and there is no falsehood. After persuading Master Zhang's officers and soldiers to retire, I am willing to re-enter the battalion of the leaders and take the lead by example. And I ask you to restrain your people and not to do anything that harms the people. ”

Zhang Mengcheng hurriedly expressed his willingness to comply, and took Liu Keguan to the official army led by Zhang Yingchang, and after watching Liu Keguan be taken away by the official army, he also rode back to the camp. directly said to Shen Yikui and the other masters under him that he had released Liu Kez.

Not only the big boss Shen Yikui, but also his eldest brother Zhang Mengjin and future brother-in-law Cai Xiaozi, as well as the other big leaders in the big tent, all changed their faces after hearing Zhang Mengcheng's arbitrary behavior.

Shen Yikui was so angry that he immediately shouted: "Come on, drag him down for me and beat me with three hundred military sticks." ”
