Hong Chengchou's army slowly entered the city, walking in the front, is a small group of cavalry, the number is not much, there are not a hundred horses, most of them are light horses, used as scouts before the war, and used to do some raids during the war, basically not of great use. This is also a helpless thing, because the imperial court is extremely short of horses, and a few horses are sent to Liaodong, and only generals and scouts are qualified to ride horses in the interior.

This group of cavalry passed by Zhu Yuanzhang and others, and they didn't even say hello, and after entering the city, they immediately dispersed on both sides of the city gate and lined up beside the road. Seeing that the city was full of village warriors, and the village warriors on the city wall were holding crossbows, these light cavalry couldn't help but laugh and said: "A group of village warriors are still putting up such a score, and it's boring." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to pay attention to them.

After the cavalry, it is the core team of Hong Chengchou, this team is not small, a full two thousand heavy infantry, lined up in a neat team, walking towards the city gate, Hong Chengchou rode a horse, walking at the front of the team. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Renjie, Desperate Saburo and others who were standing in the city gate cave to greet him, and said with an unkind face: "What about Li Qingshui?" What about the county order of Huaxian County? Why didn't they come to meet me? Just a few of you? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The two county lords were seriously injured when they faced Baishui Zhu Ba, and now they are recuperating in the backyard of the yamen, and they can't come to greet the governor, so they ask Xiaomin to greet them on their behalf, and ask the governor to forgive them." ”

Hong Chengchou snorted, he knew it. His attitude is very arrogant, but the arrogance of others is also reasonable, he is the military governor of the five provinces, and the secretary of the military department, which is a sky-big official, in the northwest territory. A casual cough can shock dozens of petty officials, not to mention the white body of a militia leader or a businessman.

Hong Chengchou didn't even stay on Zhu Yuanzhang's body, he didn't bother to ask Zhu Yuanzhang about the military situation of the thief army, his eyes looked directly in the direction of the county yamen, he used to come here, and the location of the county yamen can be found without others leading the way, so there is no need for Zhu Yuanzhang and others. In an impatient voice, he said, "Stand down!" ”

In his mind, there is only Li Qingshui, who is the rising star of the Donglin Party in this county. to be qualified to talk to him. So he didn't pay attention to Zhu Yuanzhang and the others anymore, and walked forward slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others took the opportunity to retreat to the side of the street, pretending to be solemn to see them off, but in fact they retreated to a safe place. This also deserves Hong Chengchou's bad luck, if he wasn't so arrogant. Instead, he asked Zhu Yuanzhang and others to go with him to see Li Qingshui and control Zhu Yuanzhang and others by his side, maybe the situation would be reversed. But Zhu Yuanzhang calculated that these members of the Donglin Party looked down on Bai and were not interested in dealing with them, so he successfully placed himself in a safe place.

One hundred cavalry rushed to the front to open the way for Hong Chengchou, and two thousand heavy infantry walked in four columns on the street, in addition to these soldiers, there were three thousand infantry outside the city, that is, the Xi'an guards who were poorly equipped.

Officers and soldiers dragged into a long queue. The front ones have extended into the center of the street, and the back ones have not yet entered the city.

Although Huaxian is a relatively large county seat, the streets are not very wide, and the streets of this era are generally only enough for two carriages in parallel, when four columns of heavy infantry go to the streets. It's almost full of streets.

In the houses on both sides of the street, the gunners were already nervous, and they observed the officers and soldiers exposed outside through the cracks in the windows, and many of them put their guns on the windows. A little pipe sticks out of the hole in the window paper. The crossbowmen lying on the roof did not dare to take a breath and tried to hide their figures.

The person who was ambushed was unaware of it, and his face was full of lightness. On the contrary, the people who were going to ambush them were very nervous, for fear that they would make a mistake and cause them to fail in the ambush. All the soldiers hidden in the shadows had a handful of sweat in their palms.

Bai Yuzhu was also in the ambush queue at this time, he was ambushed in a tofu shop on the side of the street, surrounded by a group of bandits from the Bai family's army, this group of people thought that the object of their ambush was Hong Chengchou, and the sweat flowed outward as if they didn't want money, everyone's vests were soaked with sweat, if you take off your clothes and twist it, you can definitely wring out the water.

The Flying Mountain Tiger and the Big Red Wolf hid in a cloth village across the street from Bai Yuzhu, and the two cheered each other in low voices. Feishan Tiger said: "Brother Wolf, don't hesitate to start for a while, chop to death, chop, chop fuck." ”

The big red wolf responded in a low voice: "Brother Tiger, do you really want to chop to death?" Zhu Bugs has always treated captives very favorably, why does he have to chop Hong Chengchou to death? ”

Feishan Tiger shook his head and said, "You stupid wolf, don't you know who Hong Chengchou is?" This bird is ruthless, and he doesn't talk much, he often kills and kills prisoners, he is simply a scumbag, even worse than those of us who are thieves. Zhu Bugle personally said that anyone can be caught as a prisoner, but this Hong Chengchou must not want it, just chop it to death. ”

At this time, the big red wolf said again: "Brother Tiger, I think Bugs Zhu has the intention of accepting Cao into our army, these two are not ordinary, they have joined our army, will the status of Second Brother Wang, Brother Miao Mei, Brother Leng Feng, and the two of us decline?" ”

The flying mountain tiger gave the big red wolf a "snap", and scolded in a low voice: "Stupid wolf, it's not that you settle in a high position as soon as you have great ability, understand?" We joined early, just by virtue of our qualifications, that status is unbreakable, what do you want to do so much. Besides, we used to be farmers who ploughed the land twice, but now we have a village and a garden, and a servant and a maid, what are you fighting for? ”

The big red wolf sighed and said: "Brother Tiger has taught me the right lesson, what do I want to do so much, just chop him." ”

At this time, the cavalry at the front of Hong Chengchou's army had basically reached the corner of the long street, and the 2,000 heavy infantry behind had basically crowded the entire long street, and the back was still in the city gate...... This long snake runs through, and it can be said that there are flaws everywhere. And at the corner of Long Street, as long as you turn your head, you can see the 500 heavy infantry of the Zhu army lined up to meet each other.

The ambush has reached a point where it is on the verge of breaking out.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Renjie and others had unconsciously gone up to the city wall and stood in the crossbowmen, and the invisible murderous aura began to spread from the crossbowmen's bodies, and everyone was waiting to make a move.

At this moment, Hong Chengchou suddenly frowned, he was not a civil official who grew up in the peaceful and prosperous world, but a veteran of a hundred battles. That invisible murderous aura did not escape his keen intuition, and all his nerves tightened: "Stop ahead...... Something seems to be wrong here......"

However, he was a little slower to react, and at the end of the long street, a cavalryman turned the corner......

That's the signal to do it!

Zhu Yuanzhang's order to the soldiers was: when the first enemy soldier turned the street, launch an ambush.

Only the cavalryman who had turned the corner let out a terrible scream, and his horse ran back from the corner of the street, and on horseback was the body of the cavalryman, who had been stabbed in the chest at a very close distance, and died no more. It turned out that Yang Hong was standing at the corner of the street on horseback with a horizontal gun, waiting to be stabbed.

Exclamations rang out, and the cavalry in front was in disarray.

When the chaotic roar had just reached Hong Chengchou's ears, a large number of crossbowmen suddenly stood up on the rooftops on both sides of the street, and the sound of vibrating strings sounded, and the crossbows on both sides were fired towards the center of the street at the same time......

In these years, the houses are less than two, and there are only two or three floors, so the distance between the roof and the center of the street is not far, and the crossbow shoots arrows with iron arrows at such a close distance, which is powerful enough to pierce the iron armor, and this piece of crossbow pours down, and the four columns of heavy infantry in the center of the street who are walking neatly and neatly suddenly lie down in a large area.

The soldier who was shot in the chest and abdomen, and the soldier in the back could still struggle twice, and if he was shot in the head or face, he was really killed without even snorting.

Hong Chengchou was taken aback, his reaction was not fast enough, this wave of arrow rain almost killed him, fortunately, the soldiers around him reacted very quickly, and at the same time as the cavalry in front screamed, he dragged Hong Chengchou off the horse, pushed him into the belly of the war horse, and covered him with his own body at the same time. A soldier who protected Hong Chengchou was killed by an arrow in his heart.

"Enemy attack! Challenge! Hong Chengchou roared.

"Ambushed!" The soldiers roared as well, and they rolled to the ground on their instincts, and some of the soldiers with bows opened their bows and shot at the nearby rooftops, while some of them raised their spears and stabbed them into the roof.

At the moment when they were about to counterattack, three hundred and fifty muskets came out of the windows on both sides of the street, apparently lit by the first cavalry when the street corner, and at this time the fiery ropes were just burned, and the three hundred and fifty muskets thundered in unison, and the sound of crackling and clattering rang out.

The power of this thing to bombard people at close range is one level higher than that of a crossbow, and within a few steps, it can be said that God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha. Since almost all the officers and men were piled up in the middle of the street, densely packed and there was no place to hide, almost none of the bombardments missed, and in response to the phrase "every bullet destroys an enemy," the long street was filled with white smoke, countless officers and men were killed and wounded, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers.

"There's gunners in the house, and crossbowmen on the roof!" The general flags and small flags among the officers and soldiers each roared angrily: "I can't stay in the middle of the street, hurry into the house, kill the soldiers and take the houses." ”

"Rush ......"

"If you don't rush out, you'll die......"

The officers and men were already trapped in the battle of beasts, and they knew that if they did not rush into the houses on both sides of the road at this time, they would be beaten into a honeycomb by crossbowmen and firecrackers, and there was no chance of escape.

An officer and soldier in heavy armor rushed to the side of the road, and smashed open the door of a house with all his strength, waiting for him was not a safe house, but a dozen spears that had already been prepared, and the spears in the door hole were stabbed out together, although the officers and soldiers were wearing heavy armor, they could not withstand the stabbing of so many spears, and several places where the armor was not well guarded were pierced by the spear tip, and his body seemed to be hanging at the door, which looked very strange.
