On 8 May, the convoy arrived in Pinglu.

The route taken this time was the same as the route Su Tiancheng took to Jiangning County when he took office, passing through Henan Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, and entering Nanzhili from Guide Mansion.

The fifteen hundred guards of the Jin Palace, obviously a little lax, were about to leave Shanxi, and they felt that the danger had passed, and nothing big would happen. Since Zijinliang was frustrated in Henan, the Liukou were reluctant to go to Henan, and Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Beizhili became the focus of their activities, so they thought that they would not encounter anything in Henan.

Su Tiancheng didn't see it that way.

The area at the junction of Shanxi and Henan, there are often rogue haunts, the terrain here is complex, the imperial army rarely spends a lot of effort to rectify, even if the army drives over, in the face of many peaks and desolate places, it is also helpless.

Such a place is the best place to fight an ambush.

The five hundred soldiers of the Jiangning battalion have always been on high alert, and among them, some people once followed Su Tiancheng and strangled them in this generation, knowing the complexity of the terrain in this generation.

Sun Yuankun sent scouts to reconnoiter along the way, and strictly ordered scouts to find out all the situations within a radius of ten miles.

On the 9th of May, the brigade entered the territory of Michi.

The scout suddenly came to report the news, with an incredible look on his face.

Su Tiancheng, Qu Qingze, Sun Yuankun, Sun Chengzong and others walked in the middle of the team.

Seeing the scout's somewhat shocked expression, Sun Yuankun was thinking about reprimanding, but Su Tiancheng waved his hand to stop it.

"Report, twenty miles ahead, there is a large group of men, it is expected that there are more than 5,000 people, they have set up a formation, and their subordinates estimate. It's the team of the Rogues. ”

This is a special arrangement, a year ago, Su Tiancheng sneaked up on Zhang Cunmeng here, and decisively killed the non-muddy, so that Fang Ming, a loyal subordinate who was not muddy, led the Liukou to fight him to the death. Now, Liukou still chose this place, and it is also in a public way, I don't know if it is an amazing coincidence.

Word spread quickly.

Su Tiancheng and his party, there are only more than 2,000 people, and there are more than 5,000 Liukou, it seems that they have made up their minds this time, there is still a distance from the county seat of Mianchi. Even if the sergeants in the county town rushed to help, it didn't have much effect.

The guards of the Jin Palace's Mansion were obviously a little nervous, they didn't expect that in Henan, they could meet such a large-scale rogue, and the guards were a little commotion, revealing their meaning. Is it to return to Pinglu for the time being and mobilize the imperial army. Exterminate this stream of rogues.

This kind of thought slowly spread among the guards, and before the war began, people's hearts were somewhat scattered.

Zhu Xianxin also knew the situation.

She got out of the carriage and came straight to Su Tiancheng, and Chunping and the others also followed her.

Su Tiancheng was discussing with Sun Yuankun, Sun Chuanting and others. I saw Zhu Xianxin and others coming.

Before Su Tiancheng could speak, Zhu Xianxin spoke.

"Husband, the concubine body already knows the situation of the Dao, husband, don't worry about anything, don't be dragged down by the concubine."

Su Tiancheng looked at Zhu Xianxin. Nodding his head, he didn't speak.

Sun Yuankun and Sun Chuanting's opinions were somewhat different.

Sun Yuankun's meaning, the five hundred sergeants of the Jiangning battalion must ensure the safety of Su Tiancheng and his family, and it is not suitable to charge, and the main task of facing the liukou is to hand over to the guards of the Jin Palace, Sun Chuanting believes that if the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion cannot kill the enemy, and only the guards of the Jin Mansion will fight, it will definitely affect morale, but he also believes that Su Tiancheng and his family must be escorted by the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion.

Su Tiancheng thought about it a little and made a decision.

"The two hundred people in the scout battalion protect Zhu Xianxin and his party, no matter what the battle situation is, there can be no mistake in the slightest, the three hundred soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, as the vanguard of the attack, rush to the front, the guards of the palace, the thinking is a little confused, if they are allowed to be the main force, to meet the Liukou, they will be defeated, so the three hundred brothers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion are the absolute main force, to play the role of the Dinghai Shen Needle, or that sentence, no matter what the situation is, as long as the order is given, the brothers of the Jiangning Battalion must not retreat, Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you have to break through and rush forward without frowning. ”

As for the idea of retreating to Anlu County, throw it aside, the Liukou wanted me to do this, they set up a position, thinking that I would not dare to advance, I would not dare to attack, if I retreated, it was just in line with their hearts, and the Liukou were also taboo, we fought in Yingshan County, and we had already played a majestic battle, and they had no bottom in their hearts, telling the brothers, drum up confidence, victory must belong to us."

Sun Yuankun went to arrange combat tasks, including the arrangement of troops.

Sun Chuanting didn't leave immediately, and Su Tiancheng asked him to stay for a while.

"Lord Sun, the two hundred brothers of the scout camp, I will allocate you a hundred people, the brothers of the scout camp are the elite of the Jiangning battalion, with the courage of ten thousand people, your task is to lead them, kill the leaders of the rogues, including the backbone of the rogues, don't leave them alive, and you can't let them escape."

"Master Su, no, there are too few sergeants around you and your family."

"There's no problem, there are a hundred brothers around, no matter how many people there are, don't think about getting closer."

Su Tiancheng's strong self-confidence burst out infected Sun Chuanting, and he nodded.

After the order to fight was given, the atmosphere became solemn.

What does this battle mean, everyone is clear, with 2,000 soldiers, facing more than twice their own rogue gangsters, no one dares to have absolute certainty, besides, in the team, there is Su Tiancheng's family, Zhu Xianxin is the sister of King Jin, if there is anything wrong, the palace guards should not think about survival.

To put it mildly, this battle was lost, and these guards could only go to the rogue.

The marching procession was changed.

The three hundred soldiers of the Xiaocai battalion were in the front, behind them were the five hundred palace guards who were ready to enter the Jiangning camp, and the remaining one thousand palace guards followed behind, and the two hundred people in the scout battalion were behind them, protecting Su Tiancheng and Zhu Xianxin, Chunping, Wang Furong and Liu Rushi and others, Su Pingyang and Su Jun were also in this team.

Su Tiancheng came to the front of the team.

"Brothers, the rogues are rampant, they actually openly attack us, I can't bear it, this battle, although we are not many in number, but we will definitely be able to win a big victory, think about the battle of Yingshan, we are less than 5,000 brothers, but we have exterminated more than 11,000 Liukou in Zijin Liang, this time, we will also be able to do it, exterminate the Liukou in front."

"Some brothers said that it is normal to have this kind of thought, but we can't do it. There are more than 5,000 Liukou, but they don't dare to attack us, and they are waiting in front of us, which shows that they are also weak-hearted, although they want to avenge Zijinliang, but they don't know the details of our way, and they are afraid of our bravery. ”

"We can't grow the morale of others, extinguish our own prestige, the sword is ruthless, and there are always dead and wounded in battle, but we are soldiers, among you, there are soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, there are guards of the palace, they are all well-known men, you must remember that the honor of soldiers is above all else."

"The military order is like a mountain, the Jiangning battalion is not allowed to escape, even if the battle is the last one, as for the palace guards, including the brothers who are about to enter the Jiangning battalion, you remember, the belief of the Jiangning battalion, on the battlefield, do not abandon or give up, breathe and take care of each other, itch and itch, go to the fire together, follow the soup together, raise a glass to make merit if you win, and kill to save each other if you lose."

The restless crowd gradually seemed calm, and different expressions appeared on everyone's faces, and the soldiers of the three hundred cavalry battalions at the front had a calm face, they were used to such a request, and on the battlefield, they had no hesitation, even if there was only one person left, they would not retreat. The remaining 1,500 palace guards, most of them have eager expressions on their faces, many of them have also experienced brutal battles, after arriving at the Jin Palace, there is no chance to fight, living in a calm atmosphere, about to grind to the point of no water chestnut, and a very small number of people, there is a look of confusion on their faces, these people, most of them are factory guards or brocade guards, their duty, mainly to monitor the actions of the King of Jin, never thought of going into battle to kill the enemy.

Su Tiancheng glanced at everyone quickly.

Qu Qingze, Su Pingyang, Su Jun and others came forward with paper, pen and inkstone, according to the convention, before the battle, everyone had to write a will, if there was anything that had not been done, the surviving brothers, help to complete it.

Sun Chuanting looked at this scene and felt amazed, he faintly felt that Jiang Ningying's heroism was not only from the belief, including some specific practices, but also from the point of care, is meticulous and thoughtful consideration, this kind of heartfelt concern can mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers to the greatest extent.

No one was polite, everyone began to tell briefly, including Su Tiancheng, who helped to record.

Seeing this situation, Sun Chuanting also stepped forward, picked up a pen and paper, and began to help record.

After writing for less than a quarter of an hour, his hands began to tremble, and the sergeant of the cavalry battalion, when he spoke, spoke in a calm tone, as if he were engaged in an ordinary conversation, and no one was excited.

What is the state of this, he is clear, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion, regard death as home, and are ready to be shrouded in horse leather, such an army is indeed an invincible army, just imagine, even if you are not afraid of death, what can you be afraid of.

Sun Chuanting suddenly had great confidence again, he believed that Liukou was looking for death this time.

The calm atmosphere infected the guards of the palace, and the performance of the soldiers of the cavalry battalion and the scout battalion reminded them of the past, those years of conquest, although tragic and cruel, but more bloody. (To be continued.) )
