"The Ming army is coming!"

"The Ming army has attacked at night!"

In the middle of the night, the silence of the rebel camp outside Pingyu was suddenly broken by a shout, followed by a great commotion of people on their backs. Biyun was so depressed from the day's defeat that he hadn't slept for a long time, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he was woken up by movement outside.

"What's going on!" Biyun asked loudly.

"Report to the general, it was our sentry who discovered the sneak attack of the Ming army and issued a warning, and now Mr. Ma Qian and Mr. Saihan Qian have gone out with people to meet the enemy." A pro-soldier ran in and reported.

"Sneak attack?" Biyun only felt that his head was a little bigger, this world was really reversed, he led his troops to fight the city, even if he didn't fight it, at least it should be regarded as a strong side. The soldiers and horses of Pingyu City won a battle during the day, but they dared to attack at night at night, really inappropriate for the Ningxia army?

As a veteran, Biyun certainly won't fail to watch out for his opponent's night attacks. Before going to bed, he arranged for scouts to keep an eye on the two gates of Pingyu City, asking them to call the police in time once they found that the Ming army had opened the city gates. Now the scouts have not reported back the news, but the Ming army has hit next to their camp, what is going on?

"Tell Ma Zhengguo and Saihan, don't panic! Hold the camp and don't go out, lest you be deceived. Biyun commanded as he hurriedly put on his armor.

In fact, there is no need to command Biyun at all, all Ningxia officers and soldiers know the truth that they cannot go out to meet the enemy. The tragic defeat of the cavalry during the day was deeply engraved in everyone's mind, and they believed that if they dared to run out from behind the fence of the camp, a projectile would fly from the opposite side and kill them.

"What's going on?" Biyun cat bent his waist, and under the escort of several personal soldiers, he came to the edge of the camp and got together with Ma Zhengguo and Saihan, who were also squatting behind the fence to watch the enemy.

"Report to the general. It was the Ming army in Pingyu City that surrounded us from all directions. Ma Zhengguo whispered.

"When did they leave the city, and why didn't our scouts find out?" Biyun asked.

Ma Zhengguo said: "The last general suspects that they may have climbed the rope to come down from the city wall and avoid the surveillance of our scouts. Xiao Ruxun has always been scheming, since he is planning to carry out a night attack, he will definitely think of us monitoring outside the city. ”

Ma Zhengguo's words were very tactful, but the subtext was to criticize Biyun for being simple-minded, and he actually thought that he could guard against the sneak attack of the Ming army by staring at the city gate. Since they are going to sneak attack, how can they swagger through the city gate to send troops?

Biyun also knew that he had put an oolong. In fact, the fundamental reason was that he didn't believe that Xiao Ruxun dared to send troops to attack at night. Now the entire town of Ningxia is the world of worship, only such a lonely city as Pingyu City remains, and the troops in Xiao Ruxun's hands to defend the city are still insufficient, how can there be a reason to come out to provoke one after another.

"How many people are coming from the Ming army?" Biyun diverted from the previous topic and asked Ma Zhengguo.

Ma Zhengguo said: "If you can't see clearly, you can know that there are people everywhere outside, and there is the sound of feet stepping on dead branches, at least ...... At the very least......"

"At least?" Biyun asked.

"At least a few hundred people, right?" Ma Zhengguo gritted his teeth and said. He is also a military general who has fought in battles, and he just lay here and listened for a long time. For the strength of the other party, it is also judged that it is not far from ten, to say that the other party has thousands of people, it must be nonsense, as far as these movements are concerned. That's a few hundred people.

"Xiao Ruxun is really too deceitful, and only a few hundred people dare to surround my camp." Biyun said angrily, "Pass my orders......"

"You can't go to the general!" Ma Zhengguo and Saihan stopped at the same time, "The firearms in the hands of the Ming army are very evil. In this dark night, who knows where they will hide and release their guns, if our people go out of the camp. It's like prey in the woods, waiting to be hunted by them one by one. ”

"But I'm a dignified Ningxia Wei general, with thousands of elite soldiers, just shrunk in the camp, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it?" Bi Yun exclaimed inwardly.

Ma Zhengguo has some culture, and hurriedly persuaded: "General, the art of war, the master can not be angry and raise the army, and he will not be discouraged and cause war." At present, the situation of the enemy and me is unknown, the general and endure the anger for a while, wait for the prince to send reinforcements, let's set foot in the Pingyu City, and then the Ming army cramps and skins, and the snow is ashamed today. ”

"Hmm! Well, that's what you say. If it weren't for the hard persuasion of the two, this staff member would definitely lead the athletes to the battle. Biyun seemed to be very reluctant and accepted Ma Zhengguo's opinion.

"There are a lot of generals, and the end will be admired." Ma Zhengguo and Saihan complimented in their mouths, but in their hearts they were disdainful of the boss. Phew, for the sake of our persuasion, we're just giving you a step down. Even if we don't persuade you, do you dare to leave this camp?

Biyun did not dare to fight, which did not mean that the Ming army outside had no way, Deng Kui, who was responsible for leading the troops to attack at night, settled the 500 soldiers who came down from the city wall to help them around the rebel camp, explained the scope of their respective responsibilities, and then ordered to call the battle.

The slogan of shouting the battle was prepared by the sergeants participating in the battle before leaving the city, and the sergeants shouted in unison as soon as Deng Kui gave the order:

"Biyun big bear, there is a kind of coming out to fight with grandpa!"

"The third slave Biyun, your godfather told you to go home for dinner!"

"Fly Army, grandpa just pulled fresh, come out and eat it!"

……

Originally, according to Xiao Ruxun's thoughts, the shouting array should shout some literary words, such as treachery, wolf ambition and the like. As soon as his idea was spoken, Xu Guangzu directly rejected it. Xu Guangzu's reason was that the sergeants of the Ningxia Army had no knowledge, and the Cangtou Army was even more shameless gangsters, and it was a complete waste to tell them anything about national righteousness and the like. The most effective way is to scold their ancestors for eight generations, and scold whatever is unpleasant, only in this way can they be provoked.

The sergeants in the Pingju were also vulgar people, and this way of scolding was the most in line with their tempers. The rebels attacked the city the day before, which made the sergeants of the Pingyu Institute angry, and at this time it was just time to vent and curse.

Sure enough, hearing the scolding outside the camp, the rebels in the camp were all angry. Someone stood directly on the edge of the fence and scolded loudly: "Don't shrink your head and tail, come out and fight with your grandfather Three Lilies!" ”

"Slam!"

He was answered by a gunshot. All they saw was a flash of fire in the grass a few hundred paces away, and the rebel soldier who had jumped out to meet had fallen headlong.

"Chen Laosan was killed by the Ming army!"

The rebels were in disarray. Someone stepped forward to investigate, only to see that Chen Laosan had a big hole in his chest, blood gushing out, and there was no breath coming out of his nose.

"I'm ...... grass" The rebel soldier who had a good relationship with Chen Laosan couldn't help but stand up and scolded outside.

"Slam! Impeach! ”

Two more flashes of fire flashed, and two bullets flew towards the man. Fortunately, after this person finished scolding, he thought of the power of the Ming army's firearms, and quickly shrank his head, two bullets grazed his scalp, and when he reached out and touched it, the top of his head was already bloody.

Someone was heard to make a start. The rest of the musketeers also spoke. They crouched about 200 paces from the camp and opened fire on the camp with flintlock muskets. I could only hear the sound of gunfire one after another, and the rebel camp suddenly cried and called for my mother, as if some intruding beast was biting.

Biyun led the rebels to attack the city, originally did not expect that Pingyu City would be so difficult to fight, let alone the possibility of the other party attacking in turn, therefore, the rebels did not bring too many materials for camping, and the fences around the camp were temporarily cut down and erected. These fences were barely effective in holding back the charge of the centaurs. But it is not enough to block the attack of bullets.

According to the convention, when encountering an enemy attack, the encamped army does not choose to go out of the camp to meet the battle. Soldiers should be sent to defend the fence to prevent the other side from breaking the camp. Half of the bullets fired by the Ming army hit the wood that built the fence, and the other half passed through the gaps in the fence. Hit the soldiers who were hiding behind the fence.

"Ouch mom, I got shot!"

"My legs ......"

"The total was killed by the Ming army!"

"Come on, someone, carry our little flag officer down......"

Biyun, Ma Zhengguo, Saihan and others got a thick box board to block in front of them. They can't help it. But the screams of the soldiers around them made them feel like pins and needles. This kind of feeling of waiting to be beaten is really unbearable, but what can you do if you can't bear it, in such a rain of bullets, who dares to go out to invite a fight.

"General, let the brothers stand back, this fence can't stop the Ming army's firecracks." Ma Zhengguo suggested.

"What if they all retreat and the Ming army comes up?" Biyun said.

"That's really not going to work, so let the brothers find something to block it." Ma Zhengguo said again.

Biyun thought for a while and said, "There is a way, let everyone take out the quilt to sleep on the fence, and the bullets of the Ming army will not be able to penetrate." ”

In fact, some people have already thought of this method, but they don't dare to act on their own. At the sound of the cloud, the rebel soldiers went back to their tents to get their quilts, covered them tightly on the fence, and then hid behind the quilts to avoid bullets. As for what these quilts will eventually look like by the guns and bullets of the Ming army, they don't care about it, at this time, it is still important to save their lives.

"Hu Baihu, it's your turn." Deng Kui saw that the rebels wrapped the entire camp with quilts, so he smiled and said confidently to Hu Baihu of the Pingyu Institute who cooperated with the battle.

"Deng Zhongjun, just take a look!" Hu confidently agreed, and gave an order to his subordinates. Dozens of sergeants crept forward until they were fifty or sixty paces away from the rebel camp, then took off their bows from their backs and mounted an arrow wrapped in cotton cloth soaked in fire oil.

"Light the fire, put it!"

Hu Xinxin gave an order, and dozens of long arrows with fire flew towards the rebel camp. Quilts were laid on the fences on all sides of the camp, and long arrows fell on the quilts, which ignited the quilts at once, and the flames rose into the air.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!" The rebels hiding behind the quilt did not notice the change outside the camp at all, and when the heat came to their faces, they realized that the other side had changed tactics and the entire camp was surrounded by flames.

"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Biyun wanted to cry without tears, and his voice was hoarse......)
