Chen Lin was a guest army, so he was arranged at the end of the army, and Qin Jie's five thousand foot soldiers were in front and headed for Pingchun. Originally, it was only a two-day journey at the speed of cavalry, but Qin Jie's army was all foot soldiers, so he walked for four or five days and did not see Pingchun City, along the way, Qin Jie's vanguard encountered a lot of scattered thieves, all of whom were wiped out one by one, and there were not too many surprises or accidents. On this day, it was dark and camped, and Qin Jie sent someone to tell Chen Lin that he could go to Pingchun County tomorrow. Chen Lin hurriedly wanted to deliver the letter to Qin Jie, saying that he should beware of the anti-thieves robbing the camp tonight, after all, it is not far from Pingchun now.

Chen Lin was a good intention, but when the words reached Qin Jie's big tent, it attracted a burst of ridicule, and the generals in Nanyang laughed at Chen Lin for being timid, and Qin Jie also felt that Chen Lin was a little too cautious and ignored it. But what no one expected was that at this time, less than five miles in front of Qin Jie's army, there were three thousand troops quietly approaching Qin Jie's camp. The first person was on the back of a bear and a tiger, holding a big knife, and one of the people next to him said: "Brother Youping, why do we want to help that Zhao Ci child, in the past, he didn't send people to chase us?" ”

It's called Youping's humanity: "Hehe, Zhao Ci was an official in the past, so he naturally wanted to drive us out, but now it's different, besides, this time Zhao Ci sent 2,500 people to a certain person, plus me and other 500 brothers, to defeat the old thief of Qin, and when I go back, Zhao Ci will give us 800 steel knives and 1,000 taels of gold, which is enough for us to eat for two years, so that the brothers don't have to do that desperate deed." ”

It turned out that this was a good man in Jiujiang County, surnamed Zhou Mingtai, and when he was fifteen years old, he took a table of words called Youping. This week, when Tai was fifteen years old five years ago, because he was not used to seeing corrupt officials harming people, he killed people in a fit of rage, gathered hundreds of fellow teenagers, and started the business of robbing big ships and official ships on the river. In the past five years, because of Zhou Tai's courage and heroism, he has won the respect of the heroes on the water in Jing and Yangzhou, and it can be regarded as a large water force. I had a lot of confrontations with Zhao Ci on the Yangtze River before, but I didn't expect Zhao Ci to rebel, and he took the initiative to contact Zhou Tai, and at the price of eight hundred steel knives and a thousand taels of gold, he tempted Zhou Tai to help him attack the Nanyang army from the west.

A cold wind was blowing in the mountains, and it was a good time to sleep at this time, and the five thousand people of Qin Jie's army were sleeping one by one. Zhou Tai had already led 3,000 men and horses to secretly surround him, and at this time, one of the little minions ran over and said to Zhou Tai: "Brother Zhou, this Nanyang soldier is really careless, he doesn't even have a decent whistle, the brothers can see it clearly, as long as the eldest brother gives the order, the guardian will kill those patrols unknowingly." Zhou Tai grinned, and suddenly ran over again, saying: "Big brother, it's not good, there are still people and horses behind, there are so many horses, the patrol over there is amazing, I don't dare to look closer, if it weren't for my breathlessness, I'm afraid that people will catch me." ”

When Zhou Tai heard this, he was surprised, didn't Zhao Ci say that there were no cavalry in Nanyang, why did there be so many horses, I'm afraid it was reinforcements. Busy asked: "How far?" The man replied: "One meal can be done" Zhou Tai thought, a meal, all here, you can't go back empty-handed, besides, it's good to burn his grain and grass, so Zhou Tai ordered the generals sent by Zhao Ci to lead five hundred people to secretly bypass the Nanyang army, ambush, block the soldiers who may come up behind, and Zhou Tai himself took two thousand five to kill the Nanyang soldiers. So Zhou Tai's subordinates jumped out like elves, touched them very flexibly, and killed Qin Jie's night patrol without knowing it.

Chen Lin's camp is still meticulously executed, patrolling what should be patrolled, and sleeping when it should be slept. Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the direction of Qin Jie's camp, and suddenly there was a fire in the sky, Chen Lin was awakened, put on his clothes and walked out to take a look, only to see Huang Yan and Zhou Cang hurrying over. Chen Lin looked at the sky over there, and was shocked, such a fire, it must be that the grain and grass were burned. At this time, Jia Xu also rushed over: "Lord, I'm afraid that Qin Taishou has been attacked at night." Chen Lin shouted loudly and shouted to Chen Ze, who was also coming over: "Zhongzhi, all the troops are ready to fight, beware of the enemy attacking the camp." Without saying a word, Chen Ze turned his head and hurriedly prepared the wolf with Lin An.

Chen Lin put on his military armor when he returned to the tent, and as soon as he came out, Huang Yan said, "Young Master, do you want to come forward to help in the battle?" Jia Xu hurriedly said: "No, the anti-thieves can think of robbing the Qin Taishou camp, and they must prevent our cavalry from saving them, there will be an ambush on the road for these two miles, and the night black cavalry can easily be dispatched, which is not appropriate." Chen Lin also felt reasonable, presumably Qin Jie had an army of 5,000 people, and he would not be defeated so easily, and now he didn't see Qin Jie asking for help. So Chen Lin sat quietly and waited for Qin Jie's order, only to see that the fire in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and the shouting of killing had not subsided, Chen Lin began to get anxious in his heart, walking back and forth. Seeing that Qin Jie didn't send someone to explain the situation, Chen Lin clapped his hands and said, "Don't wait, even if there is an ambush on the road, you can't help it, Qin Taishou must be in big trouble." Jia Xu saw that Chen Lin had decided to fight, so he said: "My lord, why don't you divide the wolf cavalry into three parts and advance in sections, even if you encounter an ambush, you will be able to take care of it." ”

Qin Jie was not in big trouble, but had already been taken away by the God of Killing. It turned out that after Zhou Tai cleaned up Qin Jie's night patrol, he secretly moved away from the horse fence, Zhou Tai took the lead, raised his knife and shouted to rush in, two thousand five hundred troops attacked Qin Jie's camp, at least three or four hundred people were hacked to death by Zhou Tai's army in their sleep, and many were killed just after the chaotic probe out of the military tent, and when Qin Jie's army gathered a part of it at night, Zhou Tai had already set fire to it and defeated no less than two thousand troops. Qin Jie's more than 1,000 people gathered and became bold and began to move forward slowly, hoping to suppress the anti-thieves who attacked the camp, and did not want to be hit by Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai saw that he was a big official, but he was afraid that he was the leader of the Nanyang Army, and Zhou Tai couldn't think of it as a Taishou. Zhou Tai greeted the five hundred brothers behind him and rushed straight to Qin Jie, and there were more than 1,000 people who were not afraid to support Qin Jie. What he didn't expect was that Zhou Tai killed Qin Jie's three generals in a row, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of Qin Jie, and in this way, this Nanyang Taishou was taken by a Jiangshang hero. It wasn't until the Nanyang soldiers shouted that Taishou was dead that Zhou Tai knew Qin Jie's identity, and Zhou Tai, who was overjoyed, was even more crazy. The morale of the Nanyang soldiers was low, and the anti-thieves were the opposite, and the Nanyang army was killed so that they didn't even have a decent organizational confrontation.

Chen Lin ordered the wolf cavalry to march forward in three parts, each half a mile apart, and Chen Lin led eighty guards to follow in the last part. Suddenly, there was a fight ahead, and when Chen Lin saw it, there was indeed an ambush, so he ordered: "Zhou Cang, protect Wenhe, and come to see you with one less cold hair." The whole army rushed to kill. "The four hundred horsemen in the rear also rushed forward with whips to relieve the front. But seeing that the ambushed people were beaten by Chen Ze and fled in all directions, seeing Chen Lin coming, Chen Ze hurriedly came over: "Big brother, there are only five or six hundred foot soldiers, but they were repelled by my wolf horse." Chen Lin saw that there was nothing to do, and Jia Xu said at this time: "Lord, it seems that the number of anti-thieves robbing the camp is not large, but I just want to use hundreds of people to block the rescue of our army, so that it can attack the Qin Taishou camp." ”

Since this was the case, Chen Lin immediately ordered the whole army to rush over, and the Qin Jie camp at this time was no longer the same. As soon as Chen Lin's wolf rode away, a little minion ran to Zhou Tai and said, "Big brother, Zhao Ci's hundreds of soldiers can't do it, they can't stop the cavalry behind at all, I'm afraid that there are thousands of horsemen, and they have already come." When Zhou Tai heard this, he said, "Withdraw, lead the brothers to withdraw." The man said, "Big brother, there are still two thousand Zhao Ci people in the camp, besides, don't you want the eight hundred steel knives?" Zhou Tai patted the head on his waist and said with a smile: "With this head, Zhao Ci doesn't dare to repay the account, besides, these two thousand Zhao Ci's soldiers can still block the cavalry for the brothers, whatever, retreat." ”

So Zhou Tai withdrew from Qin Jie's camp as soon as possible, and only took his five hundred brothers with him, these Jiangshang heroes who had been born and died together for many years. Chen Lin rode into Qin Jie's camp on a wolf horse, and saw that there was a panic everywhere, so he shouted: "Officers and soldiers gather here" Chen Lin hurriedly ordered Huang Yan to erect a big banner, pulled over an officer and soldier and asked: "What about you waiting for Qin Taishou?" The officer and soldier were terrified, and said, "Die, let one of the wicked men hack to death." ”

Chen Lin was taken aback, and at this time Jia Xu reacted quickly: "Lord, quickly chasing that villain, he was able to kill Qin Taishou in the army, this person is not simple." After Zhou Tai left, the anti-thief offensive left in the Qinjie camp was not as good as before, and Chen Zewolf rode a charge, and the officers and soldiers learned that reinforcements were coming, and their morale was also greatly boosted. However, Chen Lin was reminded by Jia Xu, but he ignored the big camp, let the wolf ride cross from the west side, and came out from the east of the big camp, so he went around looking for and killing Qin Jie's evil man. Suddenly, Chen Ze came over and said to Chen Lin: "Big brother, some people say that a group of about 500 people and horses withdrew from the camp not long ago and went to the direction of Pingchun. ”

Chen Lin looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, this is another ploy of the thief, trying to lure me into chasing after the wolf horse?" Jia Xu said: "No, I'm afraid that the man is clever, and when he saw my cavalry coming, he retreated first, but this person left the army alone, but let Xu not understand." Chen Lin hurriedly ordered the guards to capture a thief and come over for questioning. When asked who was in command this time, the man replied: "It is the ** Zhou Jiu life invited by the county lieutenant Zhao." "Zhou Jiu's life? Chen Lin was puzzled, so the man explained that Zhou Tai had been surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers many times, and no matter how big the risk was, he could finally turn the danger into a disaster, so everyone said that Zhou Tai had nine lives, so he called Zhou Jiu life.

After listening to this, Jia Xu shouted: "I see, I'm afraid that Zhou Jiu Ming ran away with his cronies, and deliberately let Zhao Ci's soldiers resist our army, our army must not pursue, this week's nine lives are not simple." Chen Ze came up again and asked, "Big brother, do you want to chase after you?" Chen Lin: "Qin Taishou is dead, there are so many officers and soldiers like headless flies in the camp, our army chases them, I am afraid that this camp will be scattered, why don't you first calm down the thieves in the camp, collect the Nanyang rout, and talk about it at dawn." So a thousand wolf riders killed the enemy in the camp, and the rest of the thieves did not have too good generals, and they were killed by Chen Ze's wolf cavalry in half an hour, and they surrendered. Chen Lin gathered the rout, but there were only 2,000 people, which made Chen Lin shocked, this week's nine lives are a good means.

In the end, there were no more than half of the 5,000 Nanyang army, and there were not many casualties among the wolf riders, more than 600 prisoners were captured, and most of the grain and grass were burned. Chen Lin hurriedly consulted with Jia Xu, and Jia Xu suggested that he withdraw from the army, anyway, now that Qin Jie is dead, the Nanyang army can be regarded as a group of dragons without a leader, and there is no food and grass. So Chen Lin had no choice but to write a letter and send someone to Jingzhou to assassinate the history office, and then led the rout to slowly retreat. Chen Lin glanced back, Zhou Jiu's life, see you in the future.
