Li Guo's personal soldiers retreated, not aware of the abnormality in the Chinese army's tent. If Yin Xi doesn't open his mouth, they won't be rude to He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang.

"This is your Loyalty Camp?"

If He Tengjiao's eyes were something tangible, Du Yinxi's flesh and blood would have been blurred.

"Lord He, that's your idea, not mine" At this moment, Du Yinxi's originally somewhat rickety waist suddenly straightened, and he endured enough.

He has already said that he is the governor of Huguang, not He Tengjiao's house slave.

He Tengjiao seemed to be frightened, licked his lips, and did not speak again.

But someone is not afraid. People who have been humiliated are easily angry, and angry people are easily carried away.

"Please give the order of Lord Block, arrest Liu Suifeng" Zhang Kuang jumped in front of Block Yinxi, his facial muscles twisted together, this was the second time he was captured by the Ming army in Jiangnan. Both times when I was able to control the situation.

Du Yinxi looked at him disdainfully and shook his head slightly.

"Aren't you afraid that the Governor will punish you?"

"There is no place for you to speak between me and Governor Ho"

Plugging Yinxi didn't turn his face to He Tengjiao, but he was already tired of this Zhang Kuang jumping up and down.

Zhang Kuang's face turned even redder, took a step back, and arched his hand to He Tengjiao, "My lord......

"This is the loyalty camp," Du Yinxi stood tall. Although Li Guo and Gao Yigong refused to listen to his order to go east to Yuezhou Mansion, they would always give him a few feelings. Do it to yourself in the loyalty camp, unless He Tengjiao is stupid enough to do a certain thing.

Of course, he was already stupid

"I will capture Jingzhou City" He Tengjiao didn't listen to Zhang Kuang's opinion, but his voice was indifferent, and his eyes were even more indifferent. From this moment on, Plug Yinxi and him will be passers-by.

The authority of the governor of Huguang was flouted, and he was in the loyal camp that he had always looked down upon.

He Tengjiao was about to leave the big tent when the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the door.

The war horse neighed with its neck raised to the sky, and a knight fell from the horse's back like a light swallow.

The "Bao" knight did not notice that the outskirts of the Chinese army had been controlled by the Huguang Governor Fu Ying, and rushed in at a trot.

The two sergeants stepped forward to block the way, fiercely grabbed the scout's arm, and restrained him a hundred paces in front of the Chinese army's tent.

The "emergency military situation" scout is not tall and has little strength, so he can't break free for a while, and he is anxious to call indiscriminately.

He Tengjiao opened the curtain and walked out, just about to let the soldiers let go of the scouts. There was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the Chinese army camp, and Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others rushed in with more than 100 generals of the loyal battalion.

It seemed that the person was aggressive, He Tengjiao couldn't help but take a step back, a little nervous in his heart. What do these thieves think, do they dare to do anything to the Governor of Huguang?

He kidnapped Du Yinxi, he had a ghost in his heart, and when he saw those people rushing in, he remembered that he had entered the loyalty camp like this, it was too risky.

"What do you want," he roared, holding out his right index finger and pretending to be bold.

Li Guo and the others came fiercely, and the personal soldiers of Huguang Governor Fuying saw that He Tengjiao did not instruct, so they all stayed in place and did not move, allowing Li Guo and others to rush straight to He Tengjiao's eyes.

"My lord, it's not good" Li Guo's expression was very solemn, he didn't hear what He Tengjiao was saying clearly, and he bowed his hand to Gu Yinxi, who came out behind him: "Qingyu has come from Yuezhou"

Thankfully, he kept an eye on it; Fortunately, he let Li Laiheng stay on the border of Yuezhou Mansion. If a person can learn from his failures, then he is still a teachable talent.

"What?" He Tengjiao and Du Yinxi exclaimed almost at the same time.

"Li Laiheng flew to pass the book, Luck Dehun broke through the blockade of the Ming army in Yuezhou Mansion in Jiangnan, and the forward cavalry has entered the boundary of Jingzhou."

Several people were stunned, He Tengjiao was the first to react, and scolded angrily: "How dare Zhai Zhe do this? ”

He can always see the shamelessness of others, because that's what he always thinks. The Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River gave way to the road of Yuezhou Mansion, didn't they want the Ming army of Huguang to fight with the Qing captives in Jingzhou?

Du Yinxi quickly calmed down and asked, "Has the Ming army in Jiangnan been defeated in Yuezhou Mansion?" “

Li Guo shook his head, "The last general doesn't know"

He Tengjiao turned his head and ordered to block Yinxi: "Please block the Lord and the loyal battalion to intercept the Qing captives"

The shape in front of him is no longer avoidable by the loyal battalion. Qing Yu came to the door by himself, and He Tengjiao's return to Changsha was also blocked. The Huguang Army and the Loyal Battalion had to deal with the Qing army at the same time.

The Qing army was less than 40,000 people, and looking at the appearance of these people, it seemed that there were hundreds of thousands of troops.

The Huguang army was unwilling to stop the Qing captives from depleting their strength, and the decision of the loyal battalion yesterday to refuse to go east was also for the same reason.

One monk carried water to drink, two monks carried water to drink, and three monks had no water to drink. If He Tengjiao hadn't led the army to Jingzhou, Li Guo and the others would not have such a situation today.

The hard work is all for others, and the benefits are all for yourself. He Tengjiao's small abacus made the commanders of the loyal battalion feel cold.

There are always people who have to take care of the overall situation, and Plug Yinxi cheekily arched his hands to the generals in front of him; "Commander Li, Commander Gao, since the Qing captives are here, please reorganize your troops and horses to meet the enemy."

Gao Yigong squinted at He Tengjiao and said, "I am willing to work with the Changsha Army to resist the enemy."

A thief dares to speak like this to himself.

"Hmph" He Tengjiao snorted angrily, brushed his sleeves and walked out. Zhang Kuang and the soldiers of the supervising battalion followed closely.

A moment later, a hurried trumpet sounded in the camp, and the troops and horses moved together to make way for the south and west roads to make room for the Huguang army to camp.

Anger is anger, the enemy is present, and you can't act rashly. Plug Yinxi ordered the messenger to follow He Tengjiao's ass into the Huguang military camp and contact and report the news.

The vast camp of the lake moved slowly, and the camp of loyalty was set up on the left and right sides outside Jingzhou City.

The army of more than 100,000 is like a cloud fluttering in the sky, and the five-color flag is like a flower in a green and fertile field.

The defenders of Jingzhou could see the movement of the besieging soldiers and horses, guessed that reinforcements were coming, and beat drums and cheered at the head of the city. But the troops outside the city were strong, and the defenders did not dare to rush out of the city.

He Tengjiao was extremely dissatisfied with blocking Yinxi, but at the moment of the great enemy, he did not dare to lead the army to act indiscriminately. No one knows who the Qing Lu will target.

In the evening, there were some clouds in the sky.

Li Guo was worried that Li Laiheng had not retreated, standing on a high place and looking into the distance, the southern horizon was empty

It was getting dark, and the Ming army was covered with scouts for dozens of miles on the periphery. The landscape in his vision gradually blurred, and Li Guo returned to the camp. Li Laiheng engaged the striker of Qingyu early this morning. So far, there has been no bad news from the scouts.

Jingzhou has many waterways and fertile fields, but the river channels are not as many as the Jiangnan water towns, which are suitable for cavalry combat.

On the side of the official road on the border between Yuezhou and Jingzhou, thousands of cavalry circled around a camp.

The vanguard of the Qing Dynasty was the cavalry of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and Li Laiheng would rather grit his teeth and stick to the less fortified camp than dare to lead his troops to retreat in a hurry.

The earthen walls were made of a mixture of rough wood and stone, reaching only to the chest of the defenders. These defensive measures were built in the past month, and Li Laiheng had no people to deploy, and the 5,000 soldiers under his command had to practice and build earthen walls.

The Mongol cavalry ran and threw from the outside of the low wall.

Li Laiheng stood on the top of the camp with his chest open to inspect the shape of the battlefield, and a long snow-bright knife was stuck in the wooden stake in front of him.

During his escape with King Chuang, he fought the Jurchens once.

To be honest, he was a little afraid of the fierce Jurchens.

Accurate bows and arrows, thick iron armor, and rich battlefield experience seem irresistible.

But in today's battle, from the time of Si to the time of Shen, although the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, he felt that the Qing prisoners were not as strong as before.

The Mongols were not accustomed to dismounting and fighting on foot like the Jurchens, and were less comfortable when attacking camps. The loyal battalion fled all the way from Xi'an to Huguang, and the heavy armor had long been lost on the way. They were now very poor, so poor that they needed food from Jiangnan, and of course they could no longer equip enough armor, so they could only use their flesh and blood against the Mongols' accurate bows and arrows.

At the entrance to the gate of the camp, a huge piece of horses was erected with thick wood, and the foot soldiers of the loyal battalion held wooden shields and short-bladed spears to block their opponents in the rejection of horses.

The Mongol cavalry was like a sparrow foraging for food in winter, sometimes gathering, sometimes scattering, and the feathered arrows were nailed to the Ming army that inadvertently exposed its flaws.

The Mongols were unwilling to spend a huge price to break the camp, and Li Laiheng gritted his teeth and waited for nightfall.

The feathered arrows on the rough wood resemble a hedgehog with its back bowed.

Li Laiheng let the gunners hide in the gaps of the horses and shoot at the Qing cavalry, and the rough wood can be their barrier.

The soldier was fearless, and blood slipped from the tip of the horse, forming puddles of blood on the ground. There is human blood, and there is also the blood of horses. In order to stop the Qing soldiers who broke into the rejection array, the soldiers charged with fierce feathered arrows, like moths that pounced on fireworks.

He was heartbroken, he was proud.

The rebels under his command became a loyal battalion, but they did not lose their courage. Although it seems that those soldiers who charged are more like martyrs for Dashun.

After breaking into the king, in the hearts of these people, Dashun collapsed almost overnight. So far, they have not found the backbone, and they may never find it again.

"Speaking of the king, the king of the road, the king of the king of the coming does not pay for food...... he hummed the ballad that used to be sung all over the world. After taking refuge in the Ming Dynasty, such singing could no longer be heard in the barracks.

"Let's be realistic, the Loyalty Battalion must find a strong enough backer"

Li Laiheng never believed in the officials of Huguang, and even Du Yinxi failed to bring anything to the loyal camp. There is no money, no ironclad, and no good luck.

Looking at the world, who else is more powerful than Zhai Zhe, the general of Jiangnan? From Liu Suifeng, he could see the general's mind and self-confidence. Who would give so much money and food for free to an army that is not at their own disposal?

"When I return to the camp, I must convince my father" Li Laiheng pulled out the long knife stuck in the stump.

Another rush of iron hooves passed in front of him, and the falling feathered arrows were accompanied by muffled grunts and wild screams.

It was getting dark, and the jungle behind the camp was connected to another path leading to Jingzhou. They fought here for half a year and knew the terrain well.
