"Evacuate Ningyang immediately." Li Fengyun finally spoke, "According to the scouts, Zhang Xutuo and his Qi army did not withdraw to Qi County, but hid in Maodudian. From this, it is not difficult to see that Ningyang is a trap, and the grain silk silk in Ningyang City is a bait, once we swallow this bait because of greed, then we will definitely fall into the sandwich of Zhang Xutuo and Duan Wencao, and there is a danger of annihilation. ”

Han Jinluo, Zhen Baoche, Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan were taken aback, especially when they saw Li Fengyun's solemn expression, they couldn't help but believe it, but Li Fengyun's next sentence made them breathe a sigh of relief.

"A certain cangtou army immediately rushed to Yuancheng to block Duan Wencao, you each sent scouts to the west bank of the river, once there is movement in the direction of the city, evacuate immediately, without the slightest delay."

Obviously, Li Fengyun still accepted the reasons of Han Jinluo and others. Food is too important to the hungry soldiers of the rebel army, and it is simply unrealistic to ask them to throw away the grain full of warehouses and leave empty-handed, even if the battle situation is critical, they have to move some of it, so Li Fengyun still compromised and took the initiative to take the Cangtou army to the direction of Yuancheng to block Duan Wencao and buy a little time for Han Jinluo and others. However, the strength of the Cangtou army is limited, and it can only block Duan Wencao, and there is no way to resist Zhang Xutuo, as long as Zhang Xutuo is dispatched, Han Jinluo and the others must evacuate with army fire.

Han Jinluo and the others didn't expect Li Fengyun to be so tolerant and righteous, and they were grateful, and thanked them repeatedly.

Li Fengyun acted vigorously and hurriedly left with the Cangtou army.

As soon as the Cangtou army left, Han Jinluo and the others and their subordinate soldiers were under pressure, and they no longer had any scruples, cheering and devoting themselves to plundering, they had only one goal, to do their best to empty the treasury and remove all the grain and silk.

Of course, Zhang Xutuo was still a great threat to them, and Li Fengyun and the Cangtou army were in a hurry to evacuate for this reason, and they didn't even want food, which shows the critical situation. However, the water is a natural obstacle, Zhang Xutuo must cross the river if he wants to fight Ningyang, and it takes time to cross the river, with this buffer time, the rebels can calmly evacuate.

Han Jinluo and the others were very confident, and after sending out scouts, they put all their energy on the matter of plunder.

At this moment, greed occupied their hearts, luck and gambling psychology overcame reason, and they consciously ignored Li Fengyun's warning and ignored the danger that was approaching.

Danger came in the early hours of that night.

After Zhang Xutuo led the army to withdraw to the territory of Jibei, he immediately circled around the Yellow Flood Area in the northeast of Juyeze and quietly hid in Maodudian. Then, after reaching an agreement with Duan Wencao, he did not take the city and go straight to Zhushui to attack Ningyang at the closest distance, but circled around the Yellow Flood Area again, and returned to the territory of Ping 6 by the same route. After dusk, the Qi army ran all the way, arrived at the bank of the Zhushui River in the early morning, and crossed the river more than ten miles north of Gongqiu City.

The righteous army that was plundering in Ningyang paid attention to the lower reaches of the river, staring closely at the first line of Chengcheng and Rencheng, and neglected the monitoring of the upper line of Gongqiu and Gangcheng.

At the end of the day, the Qi army crossed the river, and the regiments quietly advanced towards Gongqiu City under the cover of night.

Gongqiu is ten miles away from Ningyang, and the Qi army is close to the enemy.

Zhang Xutuo was fully armed with a helmet and armor, leading his jujube red horse, and marched side by side with the soldiers. Zhang Yuanbei was also dressed in a military uniform, carrying a bag and a walking lance, and followed his father in great strides.

Luo Shixin and several thin teenagers of the same age were unkempt and dressed in tattered beggar's clothes, and hurried over.

Zhang Xutuo did not stop, and continued to walk in the middle of the team, calmly and calmly, but his anxious eyes revealed his nervous mood at the moment.

"Duke Ming, Ningyang has fallen, and the traitors have conquered Ningyang." Luo Shixin panted and shouted angrily, "Duan Envoy Jun deceived Ming Gong, he didn't attack, he was still hiding in Bianqiu City. ”

Zhang Xutuo's thick eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a chilling murderous aura gushed out. What he was most worried about was that Duan Wencao really deceived himself, and the battle situation underwent a subversive change in one day, and this change was very unfavorable to the Qi army.

Zhang Xutuo took a deep breath, waved his horsewhip, and asked in a cold voice, "When did Ningyang fall?" ”

Luo Shixin shook his head, "I arrived in Ningyang before noon yesterday, when the city had fallen, and the thieves were looting in the city, and there was chaos, and then the thieves began to carry food outside the city, but because of the lack of carriages and horses, they could only carry it on their shoulders, and the handling was very slow. Now the west gate of Ningyang City is still wide open, and the thieves are still carrying grain, so they are defenseless at all, as long as they attack, they will be able to kill with one blow, and it will be decided in a battle. ”

Zhang Xutuo was slightly surprised, "The thief is defenseless? ”

"The thieves thought that we had withdrawn to Qi County, and Duan Wencao was cowering in the city and did not dare to come out, but it happened that they captured Ningyang again and grabbed food, and their morale was very high, so they got carried away, and they would not have thought that we would suddenly kill a horse gun." Luo Shixin sneered, "Even if the thieves are on guard, they are still guarding against Duan Wencao of Defective Hill City, not against us. ”

After Zhang Xutuo pondered for a while, he asked again, "Have you ever detected the military situation in the direction of Yuancheng?" ”

"Ming Gong, I sent two brothers to see, the thieves outside Yuancheng City did not attack Yuancheng, but besieged but did not attack, their purpose is obviously to concentrate on dealing with the main force of the Lu army in Bianqiu City, so as to gain enough time to snatch all the food in Ningyang City."

Zhang Xutuo thought for a moment, then turned to Zhang Yuanbei and said, "Pass on an order, order Jia Yanfu to lead a regiment to the west of Ningyang City, in order to cut off the traitor's way to flee west to Yuancheng. If the Yuancheng thief army comes to the rescue, it will be resolutely blocked to ensure that our main force has enough time to conquer Ningyang. ”

"Order Qin Qiong to lead the army to attack the north city of Ningyang, Wu Heimin to lead the army to attack the south city of Ningyang, and a certain relative to lead the main force to attack the west city of Ningyang. Luo Shixin, you lead the regiment to choose the front, immediately attack the West City of Ningyang, and take the West City Gate at any cost. ”

Luo Shixin suddenly agreed, and rushed away with several of his brothers.

Zhang Yuanbei rushed out of the queue with a group of subordinate officials, and immediately wrote orders because of the ugliness.

"My lord, did you send an envoy to the Defective Hill to urge Duan Envoy Jun to attack immediately?" Zhang Yuanbei asked loudly at Zhang Xutuo's back.

Zhang Xutuo's footsteps did not stop, nor did he turn around, but just raised his hand and waved the horsewhip, agreeing to Zhang Yuanbei's request. He was very disappointed in Duan Wencao, he had already made up his mind, and after conquering Ningyang and annihilating the traitors in the city, he left Lu County. Duan Wencao can be treacherous, but he can't, in order to stabilize the situation in Qilu and for the Donglai Sailor to cross the sea and expedition as scheduled, he must suppress the thieves and inflict heavy losses on the thieves in southwest Lu. This is his duty, and he has no hesitation.

On the eve of dawn, at the darkest moment, the Qi army quietly arrived at the city of Ningyang.

Luo Shixin commanded the Xuanfeng Regiment to suddenly come out of the darkness and launch a fierce attack on Ningyang Xicheng.

The west gate of the city was wide open, the lights inside and outside the city were bright, and the soldiers of the righteous army were doing their best to carry grain and silk silk regardless of fatigue. They also know that the shape is bad, they know that the official army is close at hand, and they know that once the official army attacks, they will not be able to resist, but the mountains of grain and silk are too tempting, they can't resist this temptation, they are poor and afraid, hungry and afraid, and their possessiveness for food and silk is too strong.

In the face of the roaring officers and soldiers, the soldiers of the rebel army outside the city were terrified, turned around and ran to the city.

The soldiers of the rebel army in charge of guarding the city immediately sounded the horn of the alarm and beat the drums of war.

The soldiers of the rebel army in the city did not sleep, they were all busy in the storehouse, and suddenly heard the alarm horn, all of them were shocked, and rushed to the city walls in all directions, and more people rushed to the west city.

The west gate was wide open. After the soldiers of the rebel army moved the grain out of the warehouse, they went out of the west gate, and then went straight to Yuancheng, and then rushed to the north bank of Surabaya through Yuancheng, and then transported it from the north bank of Surabaya to Bian Cheng. This is the shortest route to Mengshan, and it is also the safest route, and transporting grain to Mengshan is the most appropriate way at present, not only their relatives and families are in Mengshan, as far as the current war situation is concerned, even if there is a draw with the official army, the righteous army cannot do without the foothold of Mengshan.

However, the wide open west gate has become a nightmare for the soldiers of the rebel army at this moment, once it is too late to close the city gate and let the city gate fall into the hands of the enemy, the consequences can be imagined.

Han Jinluo and the other four marshals panicked, and with their respective personal guard regiments, they rushed to Xicheng with the most elite troops, even if they blocked it with their bodies, they had to block the officials and soldiers outside the city.

The rebels in the city wanted to close the city gate, and the rebels outside the city rushed to the city gate like a tide in order to survive, and did not let the city gate close at all.

The fratricidal fighting between the soldiers of the rebel army quickly spread from the top of the city tower to the bottom of the city tower. When Han Jinluo and the other four heroes rushed to the vicinity of the city gate with the personal guard group, there was already a bloody battlefield in front of them. If they want to close the city gate before the official army comes in, they can only kill these irrational madmen inside and outside the city gate, but time does not allow, the official army has already killed the moat, has rushed into the fleeing ranks of the rebels, mixed in the middle of the rebel soldiers, and is only a stone's throw away from the city gate.

"Kill!"

Han Jinluo and the other three heroes had no choice but to kill, regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies. Kill them all, close the city gates, there is still a possibility of escaping death, otherwise the whole army will be destroyed.
