The dark and dreary ground was covered with large and small fires, many shacks were lit, and there was also chaos in the other rogue camps around, thousands of rogue bandits were fleeing in the dark, and rows of musket salvos were constantly flashing in the north, and the detachment and the mandarin duck array battle group were all advancing rapidly towards the center of Zijin Liang.

In the center of the camp is the old camp of Zijin Liang, which was originally a village of more than 20 families, and there are several intact houses, the best of which lives in Zijin Liang, and the surrounding area expands out, where his most elite horsemen and some of the infantry live, and the horsemen and Lao Kou's family are also within the camp wall.

Outside the old camp is a ditch and an earthen wall, at this time the chaos outside the wall is as terrifying as a flash flood, tens of thousands of mentally broken homeless people are running and screaming in the dark, and frantically fighting each other, groups of chaotic people fall into the ditch outside the old camp, pierced by the sharp wooden stakes laid inside, and the people behind are squeezed down again, and before they can stand up, they are trampled to the ground by the latecomers, and they can no longer get up.

Layers of corpses and wounded almost filled the trench, the follow-up homeless people panicked, stepped on those corpses and climbed up the low wall, on which stood some old battalion foot soldiers, they used knives and guns to desperately slash the homeless people who were about to rush in, the fallen corpses formed a gentle slope along the low wall, although the horsemen tried their best to intercept, but in the dim environment, there were still many homeless people over the low wall. Rushing into the old camp, they not only fought with the horsemen, but also set fire to and looted.

There were a lot of tents in the old camp, and their accommodation conditions were far greater than those of the outcasts, but it was also like hell at this time, and the camp was crying and screaming, and many tents were lit and a fire was lit, and some torches were shaking everywhere. Countless figures and horses ran around in the light of the fire, many slashing each other and fighting for horses, the corpses on the ground were covered with gold and silver, and some of the displaced people who had rushed into the old camp were still looting their belongings in various tents.

Zijin Liang only wore an undershirt and a piece of chain mail on the outside, and the wolf bèi was unbearable with a group of henchmen to collect people, and when there was chaos at first, he thought it was Yingxiao. This was often seen among the hungry and depressed homeless people, and even among the infantry troops, so he had to use an earthen wall to separate the horsemen from the homeless. So at first, he just kept sending infantry troops to suppress it, and then he learned that it was a night attack when the muskets rang out. shouted everywhere that the officers and soldiers were coming, but the lights were blind outside, and he didn't know which officers and soldiers it was and how many people came, but listening to the density of the muskets, he estimated that there were about 10,000 people, and he really couldn't think of such a large force of Ming troops popping up somewhere.

The muskets and trumpets of the Ming army are getting closer and closer. Zijin Liang couldn't help but feel anxious, he didn't care to guess where this group of officers and soldiers came from, at this time, the crying outside shook the sky, and it was very dangerous to escape alone. Perhaps he died in a daze at the hands of the mad exiles, and he took a group of righteous sons and relatives to guard the big tent, and sent people to collect the Roman soldiers one after another.

He grabbed the two righteous sons and shouted, "Go find some infantry and hold the camp wall to the north." ”

"The King. Two hundred men were gathered, and the horses were grabbed. Let's run. ”

Zi Jin Liang looked at it in a blink of an eye, it was a righteous son running over, and in the direction he pointed, there was a group of men and horses gathered in the middle of the camp, and the people on the periphery slashed with knives and guns to kill any approaching homeless, and the people in the middle were holding torches and pulling the frantic horses.

Zijin Liang has been attacked by Cao Zhao many times, and he has long been experienced in this kind of collapse of the camp, that is, to gather a group of people to escape from the camp first, and then take advantage of the chaos to run for hundreds of miles, even if the horse runs to death, but can get rid of the tracking of the official army, and then slowly collect the scattered men and horses.

"Let's go!" Zijin Liang let out a loud shout, and ran there with a group of shirtless men around him.

"Big brother, what about those family members and silver?"

Zijin Liang didn't look back, "I can't take care of it, let them run for their lives." ”

After a while, they arrived at the place, a few righteous sons howled loudly, reminding that the king was coming, put away the swords and guns on the other side, Zijin Liang rushed into the human circle to take the horse, after shouting all the horsemen got on their horses, Zijin Liang identified the direction, led the way to the south of the camp gate, they ran all the way and shouted, many chaotic horsemen followed them, forming the largest group of escapees.

This group of horsemen rode the way, swords and guns in their hands slashed at the homeless people who stood in the way, the dense hooves of the horses trampled the corpses towards the camp gate, the debris and corpses on the ground strictly affected the speed of the horsemen, and they could not see clearly in the dark, many horses kept hollowing and falling, and the speed was slower than walking.

There were fierce volleys from the north and east, and hearing that it was not far from the camp wall, Zijin Liang was in a hurry, urging his subordinates to speed up quickly, and several well-ridden sons personally opened the way,

The two camp gates fell to the side, there were many of them who fled on horseback, there were still some old battalion infantry soldiers guarding the earthen fortress, the horsemen in front picked up spears and stabbed at the crowd, several infantry soldiers returned fire with knives and guns, and the horsemen in front of them stabbed over two, Zijinliang and others rushed up together, the camp gate screamed again and again, a group of people turned over on their backs, and the gangsters who were piled up scattered.

The horsemen flocked out of the camp gate, Zijin Liang finally came to the camp gate, and when he raised his eyes, the fire outside was soaring, many shacks were lit, turning into huge torches, and countless homeless people ran wildly in the firelight, and the whole camp was filled with crazy cries.

Suddenly a musket rang out on the east side of the camp gate, a man and a woman came in the direction of the camp gate like a wave, the horse team that had just left the camp gate was instantly surrounded by those people, and suddenly became difficult to move an inch, no matter how they cut and killed, the tide of displaced people still washed their formation into chaos, thousands of displaced people drilled into the gap of the horsemen, and even pushed the horses to stand unsteadily, the frightened horses jumped in panic, and some fierce infantry soldiers took the opportunity to kill the horsemen around them, and snatched the horses themselves, and the people in the horse team shouted that the horses neighed into a mess, Zijin Liang's horse team was blocked at the camp gate, and the rear team also fell into the camp gate.

In the chaos, the first group of officers and soldiers appeared in Zijinliang's field of vision, they were about forty or fifty people, quickly rushed from the east side, an officer waved his hand to stop the team, some soldiers raised their guns and fired a volley at the crowd of homeless people, the crowd was full of blood, the nearby homeless people were almost crazy, and countless people were overthrown and trampled to death.

The soldiers who had opened fire remained in the back row to reload, while the others shouted loudly and swarmed up with knives and guns, slashing at the homeless people from behind, and the homeless people fled to the southwest screaming wildly.

Zijin Liang was carried to the southwest by this wave of crowds, and only a dozen or so righteous sons and personal soldiers were still around, and they slashed at the surrounding male and female homeless people with their knives, and the curls of the knives could not disperse those crazy people. The other horsemen were either blocked in the camp. Or be swept away by the crowd. Before Zijin Liang fled, he looked back at the direction of the camp gate, only to see that dozens of new officers and soldiers had appeared, they blocked the camp gate, and they were not afraid that it was full of horse troops, and they rushed up fiercely, killing the horse troops who were crowded in place one by one, and even those empty horses that wanted to rush out were overturned by their dense weapons.

Zijin Liang was terrified, it was the first time he had seen such a fierce official army, and he was not even afraid of startling the horse. His old battalion is finished. Zijin Liang didn't have time to be heartbroken, anyway, he had been beaten to this situation many times, and someone would always run out, and then he would collect it, the only thing he was worried about was. Now how can I escape?

Unable to turn south, he could only flee in the direction of the crowd, and the Yoshiko behind him ran less and less, and people were constantly dragged under the horses by the displaced people next to him, and then disappeared into the crowd......

A brass horn sounded, and Zhou Shao'er took the lead in rushing towards the earthen wall, and a few rogues with bows appeared on the earthen wall. The musketeers on both flanks fired two successive volleys, knocking over two of them, who screamed and fell over and disappeared behind the earthen wall.

Brother Guan followed behind Zhou Shao'er. Holding a spear and stepping on the corpses on the ground, the front of the earthen ramparts were piled up with dead and wounded homeless people, they filled the trench in front of the earthen wall, and the figures in front of them flickered. Brother Guan stabbed a scurrying homeless man to death, and after a slight pause, caught up with the advancing queue. Rows of pikemen shouted and rushed over, stepping on the layers of corpses in the trench, and when they reached the earthen rampart, a dozen infantry with spears suddenly appeared on the earthen ramparts, and they stabbed under the earthen wall, stabbing several spearmen, and the spearmen below rushed up to fight back, and the dense spear blades were pinched from several sides, and those infantry soldiers were shot in the legs first, and then fell to their knees, and then were pierced into a honeycomb by a cluster of spears.

The covering musketeers shot two rows, there were no more standing rogues on the earthen wall, the spearmen in the front row climbed to the top of the earthen wall, Guan Da Brother did not have so many corpses in their position, the slope angle was quite large, Guan Da Di did not rush up one step, several spearmen behind him dropped their spears one after another, pushed his butt from behind, Guan Da Di stepped on a depression under his feet, and jumped on the earth ram with all his strength.

Brother Guan supported the earthen ram with his left hand, dragged the spear with his right hand, raised his eyes and looked down, he was facing a rogue Kou, he was holding a bow and preparing to shoot arrows on the earthen ram, both of them were stunned, the rogue subconsciously prepared to draw the bow, Brother Guan shouted loudly and plunged the spear into his chest with one hand, and then stood up and grabbed the spear shaft and rushed down from the top of the earthen ram, and with the momentum of the downward rush, he pushed the Liukou infantry all the way to the bottom of the earthen ram and nailed it to the ground, and then other spearmen also appeared on the top of the earthen fortress, dispersed the rogue infantry on the back, and followed Zhou Shao'er to turn up, he didn't have time to wait for the people behind, and loudly ordered the soldiers who had already entered to attack forward.

There are a lot of tents lit in the old camp, the light is bright, but there is smoke everywhere, countless people and horses are running around in the smoke, Brother Guan follows Zhou Shao'er's right rear, the company commander's knife points forward, the blade reflects the surrounding firelight, and the assembled spearmen automatically line up, obeying Zhou Shao'er's command, which is even mixed with the people of the second company, but the queue is the root of the spearmen, and they enter the queue almost reflexively according to the daily training.

More and more spearmen and musketeers climbed over the earthen ramparts, merging like streams into the old camp, and then gathering again of their own accord to form rows of lines of varying lengths.

They followed the direction of the sword, rows of spears kept spitting, killing the hordes of rogues in front of them, the musketeers on both flanks of the spearmen fired freely, these musketeers also lost their formation after climbing over the earthen wall, and there were still some detachment soldiers mixed in the phalanx, and I don't know when they joined.

In the screams in the sky, it is impossible to command with passwords, the soldiers are looking for their own targets, their spirits are highly nervous and excited, after shooting on the spot to load, and then catch up with the front team, as long as they see the target to shoot, and then repeat the process, the tense and dark noisy environment makes them fast, but also makes their operational mistakes multiply, many people fly the whole strip, and many people repeat the reload or forget to pour the pill, after the continuous firing failure, many musketeers carry muskets, draw out their waist knives and rush out of the spear array to slash, less than half of those who still insist on shooting.

Although Dengzhou Town is chaotic, the Liukou is chaotic. The attacks of the officers and soldiers continued, and the fierce rogues who occasionally drilled out counterattacks were no match for the spears, and the places where the spearmen passed were riddled with dead and wounded, and the blood and water flowed into streams and overflowed the ground.

Brother Guan ran briskly in the first row, sweat sliding down his cheeks. Zhou Shao'er was shouting hoarsely in front, and he couldn't hear what he was shouting clearly, he only knew that he would run with Zhou Shao'er and kill whatever he saw in front of him.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of the left, and a large thing struck quickly, knocking over a musketeer who was rushing diagonally in front of him, and then came towards the spear array, and all the spearmen shouted in unison, and three or four spears stabbed the horse one after another. Two of them snapped and snapped, and several spearmen were staggered by the momentum of their horses.

The horse's momentum slowed down, and after running two steps crookedly, it jumped and struggled in place, neighing in its mouth, and the spearmen next to it stabbed it repeatedly. Brother Guan shot it in the neck, and the horse was covered in blood, and finally fell to the ground, its hind legs still twitching.

Before he could catch his breath, he saw Zhou Shao'er rushing to the front with the person on the right, and Brother Guan hurriedly raised his gun to chase after him, and he was a little weak under his feet at this time. After assaulting for two miles, the body consumption was enough, but the company commander went to the front, and he could only move forward with all his strength.

The soldiers gasped heavily. Relying on inertia dragging the tired limbs, there were more and more Dengzhou soldiers around, and some of the first general Mandarin Duck Array battle groups also attacked the earthen walls on both flanks, and the infantry gave up resistance. Under the siege of the officers and soldiers, they went to the south gate.

The strong smell of burning hay filled his nostrils, and Brother Guan chased after the queue of children. The comrades-in-arms around him changed from fast running to jogging, and finally to fast marching, and Brother Guan could only keep pace with them, and in this chaotic and unclear environment, he must maintain his formation.

They walked through the smoke of the camp, their eyes wide to distinguish the person in front of them, as long as there was no one wearing a bright helmet, he stabbed it with a shot, and another black shadow moved in front of him, he subconsciously stabbed it, and the black shadow fell in response, and he only noticed at this time that the black shadow was very small, and it seemed to be a child of several years old.

Before he had time to think, there were more and more figures running in the smoke, and the spearmen could only keep moving forward by stabbing continuously, and Brother Guan's arms were so tired that he almost wanted to drop the spear.

Horses neighed in the smoke ahead, a burst of gunfire rang out from the south, and a hysterical shout ahead, and countless homeless people and horsemen emerged from the smoke and flames, and rushed straight towards the line of spearmen.

Brother Guan didn't know how many rogues there were, but he had absolutely no way out, the spearmen stopped, and the soldiers in the back row of Brother Guan also drew spears from both sides of him, and the spears in front of the line were like a forest.

The crowd came surgingly, Zhou Shao'er shouted loudly to the queue, was drowned in the surrounding noise, the crowd quickly rushed to the front, they didn't see clearly in the smoke, the spear line began to assassinate violently, a cluster of spearheads advanced and retreated, the crowd seemed to hit the embankment, was blocked by a wall composed of spears, the front of the crowd spewed out endless blood mist, the terrible shouts were connected, and the horses mixed in it also suffered the same fate.

Brother Guan didn't know how long he had been killed, but suddenly his eyes were empty, the crowd disappeared, and the remnants of the people and horses went south again. In front of him were layers upon layers of corpses, forming a wall of flesh, and the wounded and wounded horses inside were still struggling and wriggling.

Brother Guan could barely feel his hands, he turned his head to look at his comrades around him, only to see that they were also numb, their faces were covered with blood, and everyone was breathing heavily. For the first time, Brother Guan knew that killing people would be tired like this.

"Forward!" Zhou Shao'er's shout remembered, and then the two wings also remembered the roars of other officers, Brother Guan dragged his almost numb hands and feet, stepped on the corpse wall with difficulty, and stepped over the squirming wounded under his feet, there was almost no figure in front of him at this time, there were a lot of empty horses left in place, Brother Guan naturally would not kill them, and before the war, Zhong Laosi also specifically asked them not to kill horses indiscriminately.

At this time, the smoke gradually faded, and the surroundings suddenly became much quieter, they walked out of the smoke area, Brother Guan felt that the light in front of him seemed to be a lot stronger, he looked into the sky, the sky was already white.

Then he saw corpses all over the ground, and among the corpses were dense groups of rogues kneeling on the ground, and hundreds of empty horses, who seemed to be even more exhausted, and had no strength to stand up, and even knelt on their knees. Dawn brought light, and when they were able to see their surroundings clearly, they ended their madness, but their bodies were long gone, and they neither ran nor howled, and remained where they were, waiting for the slaughter they thought was bound to come.

Their eyes were full of numbness, and they looked at these officers and soldiers in front of them blankly, their faces and arms were full of red blood, like bloodthirsty Shura Yaksha.

The front paused in front of these displaced people, and Brother Guan soon saw the first general soldier coming from the south, an officer came to their side through the corpses and prisoners all over the ground, he found Zhou Shao'er, and then another company commander also ran over, and the three of them got together to discuss a few words, and the first general officer turned around and went back, leading the first general man to the south.

"All the musketeers remained guarded, and the others moved on."

For the first time tonight, Brother Guan heard Zhou Shao'er's order clearly, and the musketeers immediately drove away the prisoners on the ground with their waist knives, and the spearmen walked south through the gaps in the captives.

Zhou Shao'er also did not let them go out in line from the camp gate, because the corpses and prisoners all over the ground would make this simple operation time-consuming and laborious, and the soldiers did not have enough energy, so he maintained the line, let the soldiers climb the earthen ramparts from the southern slope, and then slide down the earthen wall to continue the advance.

Brother Guan was in the second row, in front of him was another non-commissioned officer, his body was better than Brother Guan, he volunteered to stand in the first row, Brother Guan's shoes were soaked with blood, and they were slippery and greasy, he only felt this awkwardness at this time, he climbed the slope to the earthen barrier, and after the non-commissioned officer in front of him slid down, the scene in front of him made him stunned.

The plains as far as the eye could see, covered with dense corpses and debris, almost covering the color of the land, thousands of displaced people knelt on the ground, hundreds of horses and mules stopped in place or walked slowly, and those burning shacks spit clouds of black smoke into the sky.

A mile away were scattered and fleeing rogues, and the number of people who were surging densely was uncountable, and the red Dengzhou town army was still chasing behind, and the place where they left was full of messes.

"What are you doing?" A soldier in the back asked.

Brother Guan came back to his senses, stretched the gun down to support the ground, and then slid down against the earthen wall, and there was a corpse at the foothold.

The first rays of sunlight shone down, and Brother Guan looked east, the morning sun was rising, and a team of cavalry was coming from west to east.
