"The camp of the bandits is on fire, quickly report to the governor!"

Zhang Da dog held the battlement, put his hand on the pergola, and climbed high and looked into the distance. It has been a whole night staring at the direction of the thief's camp and the village of Baihusuo, although his eyes are sore, but his heart has always been hanging in his throat, if nothing else, for Zhu Ping'an, Hong Fatzi, Yue Jinfeng and one hundred and ten brothers who were lost outside the city.

Zhang Dagou and his brother Ergou and more than 200 brothers from 100 households guarded the city wall for half the night. Since receiving the news that Zhu Ping'an and others were blocked outside the city, Zhang Dagou suddenly became angry as soon as he did it, and he was about to go to Shi Yingzhao to settle accounts with his sword, shouting in his mouth: "If you don't let you live, you will go to the city to join the bandits!" ”

Fortunately, Duan Xinian tried his best to suppress it, so it didn't cause any big trouble.

Zhang Dagou and the others couldn't come out, they were anxious like ants on a hot pot, Duan Xinian was afraid that they would cause any trouble, so he sent them and the soldiers of the other thousands of households to guard the Donghua Gate wall. Zhang Dagou quietly instructed his subordinates that once something happened outside the city, no matter who stopped them, they must open the city gate, rush out of the city, and receive hundreds of adults and brothers into the city.

At the end of the day, the families of hundreds of soldiers also came to the vicinity of the city gate, and learned that Zhu Ping'an and others still had no news, and they wept bitterly one by one.

Just after the ugly hour, as soon as the sharp-eyed soldiers discovered the fire in the thief camp, the boiling voices gradually came, Zhang Dagou and the others were ecstatic, and even Duan Xinian, who was resting at the city gate, heard the sound and ran to the city, regardless of the heavy armor and panting, slapped his palm on the bricks at the battlement, and shouted with grinning teeth that his subordinates immediately notified the governor Lu Zhenfei.

When Lu Zhenfei arrived at the city wall, the fire of the thief camp had already spread, and the sky-high fire illuminated the imperial city wall under Phoenix Mountain as if it were day.

Lu Zhenfei looked at it for a while, his lips trembled, and he struggled to squeeze out a few words, "God bless Fengyang, God bless Daming!" ”

At this time, a cavalryman rushed from under the city, and it was a subordinate of the high wall guard. While galloping along the city wall, he shouted: "Quickly inform the governor, Zhu Ping'an, a hundred households of the high wall guard, led his troops to attack the camp of the bandits at night, and won a complete victory, please send troops to support the governor immediately!" ”

There was a thunderous roar of joy on the head of the city. Duan Xinian rubbed his eyes, and his face suddenly turned into a flower, "Zhao Quanzhong, is it you kid?" ”

Herald Zhao Quanzhong reined in his horse and raised his head, "The commander is the small one!" ”

"What about Zhu Baihu?"

"The Lord of the Hundred Households has already led people into the enemy camp, and the bandits have trampled on each other, and there have been countless casualties! Hundred households, please send troops in the city as soon as possible, don't miss the opportunity! ”

Duan Xinian turned to Lu Zhenfei, his face full of spring breeze, "My lord, it's really my soldier of the high wall guard, there will be no mistake!" ”

Lu Zhenfei got Duan Xinian's affirmation, and turned around suddenly, "Pass on the official's order, Ban Caojun, Huling New Army, etc., immediately go out of the city and chase down the thieves!" ”

The prefect of Fengyang, the political envoy, the envoy according to the inspection, and the Ban Caojun hurriedly advised, "Lord Lu, don't move blindly, the news outside the city is not clear for the time being." Based on what one person said, I'm afraid I fell for the tricks of the bandits! Besides, our responsibility is to protect Fengyang, and now that the imperial city is safe and sound, it is better to stick to the imperial city and wait for reinforcements from Nanjing! ”

Lu Zhenfei glanced at them coldly, "Your Excellency is really dedicated to the public!" The situation in front of him is already clear, but he still has the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and protecting himself. ”

As soon as the words came out, the civil and military officials immediately lowered their heads. Although Lu Zhenfei is only a civil official of the fourth grade, he wears a hat on his head that is the governor of Fengyang, the Son of Heaven, which is a genuine Qincha. Just for the title of this governor, no matter how high the rank of the civil and military officer is, he does not dare to hold it up in front of him.

Lu Zhenfei nodded, "It's okay, since that's the case, the official doesn't force it." But don't blame the officials for not reminding them that this time they went out of the city to kill the enemy, and all the departments in Fengyang volunteered to participate. If you don't go, the official won't be embarrassed, but in the future, if someone wants to fish in troubled waters and share the credit, then don't blame the official for turning his face and being ruthless! ”

Zhong Wenwu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as you don't go out of the city, Fengyang has such a few people, and there are 30,000 bandits outside the city, what benefits can you get out of the city?

Duan Xinian clenched his fists, "My lord, I am willing to lead my troops out of the city to meet Zhu Baihu!" Although the two thousand households under his command showed bitter faces, Lu Zhenfei was present, and the two of them did not dare to make a mistake, so they had to bow down behind them.

The commander of the squad held his breath and did not say a word. Only the commander of the new army of Huling felt that the boss was unhappy, so he appointed a thousand households to lead the troops to help. The total size of the two armies is nearly 2,500 men.

Lu Zhenfei nodded, "Very good, then Commander Duan will be the main general, and this official will assign all the war horses in the city to you and others, and go out of the city immediately!" When you return victorious, the official will personally toast you! ”

……

I don't know when the moon has disappeared from the sky, although it is night, it is still possible to see the dark clouds slowly piling up in the sky, with the hideous flash of light piercing the sky, the rolling thunder suddenly smashed down, shaking people's eardrums buzzing.

The wind howled and blew towards the camp of the thieves, the wind helped the fire, and the fire mercilessly pounced in the direction of the Chinese army. Although the left military camp was not affected, at this time, the people were shouting and neighing, and the soldiers were desperately running in all directions under the leadership of their respective leaders, for fear that the fire would spread to their camp.

Looking at this hellish scene, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be a little frightened.

Camp howling has been a taboo in the military since ancient times, but it is an inescapable disaster. Maybe a small soldier shouts a few dream words due to a nightmare, and the whole army will fall into a state of collapse. That's the terrible thing about the roar.

Zhu Ping'an clearly remembered that the battle of Taiyuan in the Northern Song Dynasty was due to someone shouting "Jin Bing is here, Zong Han is here!" "Directly led the 200,000 military camps to collapse and disperse, with countless casualties.

Zhu Ping'an's battle is a classic battle borrowed from the Huaihai Battle in later generations. But it seems a little inappropriate to say that it is a battle, and it is obviously more appropriate to say that it is a battalion.

More than 80,000 people of Sun Yuanliang's 16th Corps broke through from Chenguanzhuang and retreated to Xiao County. Sun Yuanliang's troops were besieged for many days, and suddenly broke away from the battlefield, and his spirit suddenly relaxed, until he was suddenly launched a night attack by a small force in the middle of the night.

As a result, the entire 80,000-strong army fell into a state of collapse in an instant, until the sky was bright and the entire corps was annihilated.

How similar is the current camp of thieves, after the same rapid march, the soldiers are exhausted. In addition, the command system of the thieves is disordered, and military discipline is even more impossible. The Minzhuang battalion has to rush to work overnight, and the mental tolerance has reached the limit, and the chaos in the nearest right military camp adjacent to it will naturally affect the pond fish, and then the chaos that spreads throughout the camp.

Following the direction of the wind, under the cover of lightning, Zhu Ping'an's troops slaughtered into the camp of thieves like ghosts and gods. At this time, the camp was still full of corpses, and the rich smell of smoke and fire in the air, accompanied by the heavy smell of blood, choked people who couldn't open their eyes. Everywhere there were rogue soldiers who were in a panic, scurrying around in a daze, and after running a short distance, they did not know where to be shot down by a feather arrow, or they were suddenly slashed and died.

The cruelty of the war in the era of cold weapons made Zhu Ping'an's heart tremble, and the soldiers seemed to have fallen into evil, whether they were former comrades, or their relatives and friends, in order to survive, they couldn't care so much, but they waved the knives and guns in their hands impenetrable, for fear that they would become the souls of others in their hands.

More than 100 people from Zhu Ping'an rode horses and whips, rushed forward, slashing and stabbing along the way, and I don't know how many thieves were killed and injured. Some of the soldiers had already cut down the fine steel hundred refining knives in their hands, and then they shortened their horses, picked up a blade from the ground, and slashed and slashed.

There were quite a few brave soldiers under Yue Jinfeng's command, shouting happily, while tearing off the clothes and armor on their bodies, naked, letting the cold wind blow and fresh, blood splashed, and bursts of white smoke steamed out of their heads, as if they were demons killed in hell.

Wang Jinfa's face was pale, and he was wrapped in the center of the formation, constantly indicating the direction of the charge. "My lord, there is a gust of wind in front of the Chinese army's tent!"

Under the twilight sky, the firelight reflected half of the sky, and the soldiers who had lost their minds were blocked by the Chinese army camp, like waves constantly impacting the fence and wooden walls of the camp, and the corpses filled the trenches that were not too deep, and there were gaps in many places, and the spears on both sides continued to thrust, there was no scream, only a howl like a beast, and then fell and died. They couldn't even tell who was in front of them, and who was dead at their own hands. In the chaos, countless torches were thrown into the Chinese army camp, and the flames immediately rose into the air.

The camp of the bandits has finally fallen.

Zhu Ping'an and the others saw a gap and fought all the way into the camp, as if possessed by a killing god, they rushed through a bloody road, and the target was directly aimed at the camp tent with a gust of wind.

On the spacious flat ground, the tents of Rulin were either set on fire or trampled by the rebels, and the sight suddenly became much better. In the crowd, more than 100 people escorted two carriages to break through.

Zhu Ping'an thought that it was a gust of wind that was about to break through, and immediately shouted, "Yue Jinfeng, stop that carriage!" ”

Yue Jinfeng roared and led more than 30 strong soldiers under his command to outflank him. Who expected that these more than 100 people were well-trained, even in the chaos of the army, there was no chaos at all, when even if they were divided into two teams, they surrounded Yue Jinfeng and others from the left and right wings, and one by one, Yue Jinfeng and others cut down more than ten people, but there were also five people on their side.

Zhu Ping'an's eyes immediately turned red, these border army veterans were his heart, and he didn't expect that there would be a smooth ride along the way, and he would lose several of them here. Then there was a long howl, and the fat man came with him to kill the generals.

Zhu Ping'an's brigade was like a red-hot sharp knife, tearing a hole in the encirclement of more than 100 people. A tall man wearing a red tasseled felt hat at the head saw that the situation was not good, and immediately slapped his horse and danced his knife towards Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an blocked with the spear in his hand, and went straight to swing the man's long knife. The man flicked the horse's head, and the tiger's mouth in his hands was sore, "The thief has so much strength!" ”

When he saw Zhu Ping'an's face clearly, the man was stunned, he didn't expect that the Ming army against him would be so young.

At this time, another young man behind him shouted the man in the red tasseled felt hat, "Big brother, don't fall in love, fight out of the encirclement immediately!" ”

Taking advantage of the stagnant figure of the man in the red tasseled felt hat, Zhu Ping'an quickly shot at the man, and the man made a mistake, originally intending to avoid Zhu Ping'an's full force, but he didn't expect Zhu Ping'an's blow to be a false move. When the two of them were on the wrong horse, Zhu Ping'an turned the spear in his hand horizontally, rounded the gun shaft, and with a "snap", it smashed firmly on the back of the man in the red tasseled felt hat.

The man was smashed off his horse, and blood was spurting wildly in midair. The young man on the side was shocked, "Don't hurt my eldest brother, Zhang Rujing is here!" ”

"Zhang Rujing!" Zhu Ping'an was stunned, there seemed to be a Li Rujing in history, but he had heard of it slightly, but at this time, he couldn't remember which celebrity it was.

Zhang Rujing flew on a horse to block Zhu Ping'an, and his subordinates hurriedly helped the man in the red tasseled felt hat onto the war horse, beat the horse and whipped it, and didn't even care about the two carriages, and immediately rushed out to kill.

At this time, Wang Jinfa suddenly shouted, "My lord, a gust of wind has run away!" ”

Taking advantage of Zhu Ping'an's distraction, Zhang Rujing slashed out twice, then turned the horse's head and ran. Zhu Ping'an had no intention of chasing again, so Zhang Rujing and his party were able to run all the way.

Looking in the direction of Wang Jin's finger, a group of people surrounded a pock-faced golden armor general and fled desperately towards the southeast.

Zhu Ping'an hurriedly greeted, "Don't go for a gust of wind!" The crowd followed, chasing in the direction of a gust of wind fleeing.

And Hong Fatzi left behind with King Mafu and a few of his men. Carefully looked at the deep wheel prints of the two carriages left by Zhang Rujing and others, and couldn't help but light up his eyes.

Hong Fatzi turned over and dismounted, holding a steel knife in his hand, carefully opened the curtain, and looked at it, there were several huge wooden boxes inside.

Hong Fatzi protected himself at the mouth of the groom king Nunu. A wry smile suddenly appeared on the shriveled face of the groom king, and he jumped into the carriage helplessly, and lightly opened the lid of the wooden box, lest there be any mechanism installed inside.

But the golden light from the box instantly dazzled the eyes of the two.
