The Qing army collected the troops and returned to the camp in twos and threes, burying the pot and cooking.

The wounded soldiers supported each other and fell behind, and unless it was Niu Lu or above, the others did not receive special care. In such a hot weather, if the wound is large, it is very easy to be infected and lose your life

It was a hard night.

Luckedhun came back from a tour of the wounded barracks, took off his armor and sat on the grass in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, enjoying a moment of coolness. Today's battle was fruitful, and the army was terrified of killing the loyal battalion.

"If, if it weren't for Zhai Zhe suddenly coming here, maybe he would be able to break through the loyalty camp tonight, right?"

However, the reality is not ifs.

He had no way to enter or retreat, only a fork in the road to Xiangyang City.

Jingzhou, Hanyang and Xiangyang are the three vertices of Jiangbei and Huguang. He could no longer return to Hanyang from Yuezhou, but he could flee to Xiangyang. However, that would mean that they would abandon a large part of Huguang and hold on to the northernmost corner. Xiangyang is the gateway to Sichuan and the Central Plains, and it is also the last barrier to Huguang.

If he came to this point, why did he come to Jingzhou?

Lucked Hun calmly pondered the shape in front of him.

There was no special change in the situation under Jingzhou City, and the Huguang Army and the Loyal Battalion were set up on both sides. It's just that the general Zhai Zhe led thousands of guards to come here, why did he feel powerless to resist?

In half a day, the scouts discovered every secret place within a radius of 100 miles, there was no brigade of soldiers and horses behind Zhai Zhe, and there was no brigade of sailors and sailors in the Yangtze River. It's just that the Ming army in Yuezhou Mansion is marching faster than he originally expected, and maybe it will appear under Jingzhou City tomorrow night.

To stay here any longer is to wait for death. Does he have to do something to continue the assault on the Loyal Battalion, or retreat to Xiangyang?

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, maybe he could change his target.

Whether he admits it or not, deep in his heart, he is afraid of Zhai Zhe, especially after Hanyang Mansion fought with the Ming army in Jiangnan. The Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River, armed with fierce firearms and strict discipline, was often beaten to the point where they could not hold their heads up.

If tonight's attack on the Loyal Camp is fruitless, it will be equivalent to cutting off his last chance. After a quarter of an hour of thinking, he made up his mind.

If the loyal battalion can be lured out of the camp, he will attack with cavalry, and there may be a glimmer of hope.

Tonight, he only has tonight. If he misses a blow, he will lead his army to withdraw before dark tomorrow at the latest, otherwise he may be surrounded by the Ming army.

The soldiers who had just withdrawn from the battlefield seized the time to eat and rest, and to recover.

Luckedhun urgently summoned all the ministries to convey the military order.

In the evening, a cloud drifted in from the south. As the sun went down, the light was dimmer than usual. The moon and stars appear and disappear behind the clouds.

Under the sky, the lights slowly lit up in three large camps and a fortified city.

There was a wind, and the torches danced happily with the wind, like a naughty child who couldn't catch it.

The Loyal Battalion, the Huguang Battalion, and the Qing Battalion were all heavily guarded. The three barracks were too close to each other, and the Ming scouts and Qing scouts groped and clashed in the dark.

This stealthy sniping is more brutal than face-to-face combat on the battlefield, testing the patience and personal skill of each scout.

In the Camp of Loyalty.

The big tent of the Chinese army is as bright as day.

Gu Yinxi, Li Guo and Gao Yigong reported the battle experienced in the past two months to Zhai Zhe in detail.

Today, the banner of the great general came from the middle of the river and took the lead. When the loyal battalion was in danger again, Du Yinxi counted on the Ming army in Jiangnan to come to the rescue, and tacitly handed over the command of this army to Zhai Zhe. Moreover, General Zhai Zhe has a holy decree to prove the war of the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, he was not willing, but if he was so, what could he do with a bare-rod governor who had nothing? I can only sigh in my heart: "If He Tengjiao is a person who can make a job, how did Huguang fall to this."

The messenger had already conveyed the message to Huguang Yingzhong, but He Tengjiao had not replied. Perhaps, he was also embarrassed by the sudden arrival of the general.

Zhai Zhe ignored He Tengjiao, and after the audience finished speaking, he ordered Li Guo and Gao Yigong to shrink the front and strengthen the defense of the camp.

The general led by example, and Bao Guang led his personal guards to stick to the outside of the camp, accompanied by Li Laiheng's men

Zhai Zhe never mentioned where the rescuers were, but looking at his calm appearance, everyone didn't dare to ask, thinking that Jingzhou City was a trap for the Qing captives.

When the time passed, the generals returned to their camps to rest.

Liu Suifeng quietly asked to see Zhai Zhe, and finally got the opportunity to be alone with the general. He stayed in the loyalty camp for more than half a year, secretly befriended several commanders, and at the same time knew the internal relations of the loyalty camp well, and said goodbye for half an hour before leaving

The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and the sky overhead was dark and there was no end in sight.

A gust of wind blew, and branches and fallen leaves flew in the camp.

Li Laiheng sat on a slightly higher grassy slope, and for two hours, he watched the outline of the Black Forest fade away in front of him.

"Is it going to rain this day?"

At first, there was still a little moonlight falling through the cracks in the clouds, but now I couldn't see my fingers.

It was dark in front of me, but some of the scenes in my mind were getting clearer and clearer.

"General, it seems to be about the same height as my father" Li Laiheng recalled the situation when Zhai Zhe entered the camp and led the generals into the account, "He must have personally been on the battlefield and killed people"

With one look, he can smell a lot.

"Tsk, tsk, those iron armors" Li Laiheng recalled the scene when the guards arrived at the battlefield.

At that time, the battle was almost over, and the Qing troops were retreating.

The three thousand guards only charged and defeated the thousands of Qing soldiers after the break. Their slaughter of the Qing soldiers was like the slaughter of the Qing soldiers in the loyalty camp. Although he pursued the exhausted army with an elite army, he saw with his own eyes how terrible a soldier armed with firearms could be today.

"It turns out that the bird gun can still use the thunder so much, and it can be thrown into the formation of the Qing captives"

Perhaps only cavalry, those mounted archers could trap these people, only trapped, of course

"If the loyal battalion defects to the general, one day, I can also lead such a team of soldiers and horses."

The garrison of the pro-soldier guard was only three or four miles away from them, and Li Laiheng got up, and even wanted to go over and say a few words to the tall and burly commander.

It's darker, and the sniping doesn't stop.

The scouts of the Qing invaded the Ming guards guarding the intersections like mad dogs.

After receiving the report from the scout battalion, Li Laiheng ordered people to return to the Chinese army to make a report, and on the other hand, he sent additional manpower to closely monitor the movements of the Qing prisoners.

This night is destined to be peaceful. Li Laiheng could also predict that Qing Yu might be trapped and fighting.

Around the ugly time, the wind is stronger, and the sand and rocks are flying.

Dozens of miles away, the Qing army camp, which was shining like a galaxy, suddenly lit up with dense and blazing torches. Moments later, the scouts ran through the darkness, and the reports continued.

All the generals had thoughts, and as soon as there was a movement, the commanders of all the departments of the loyal battalion came out, and the infantry under the command of the commander were ready to fight.

Zhai Zhecai and his clothes lay down, and after listening to Fang Jin's advice, he also walked out of the big tent to check. Gu Yinxi, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others all came to the Chinese army to ask for instructions.

The battle during the day made all the soldiers have some fear of the Qing captives, and I hope that the general will open the hole cards as soon as possible, so as not to let everyone be frightened.

Where is there any way Zhai Zhe, the envoy of the secret camp is going to the Yuezhou Mansion to contact Fang Guoan and Zuo Ruo, and the news will not be available until tomorrow at the earliest.

He ordered with a heavy face: "Let's see the movement of the captives clearly."

The torches of the Qing soldiers pierced the sun like a long rainbow, driving away the darkness and silence outside Jingzhou in an instant.

The dense torches first came to the west camp, and then suddenly changed direction to kill the east camp more than ten miles away.

The commanders originally clenched the hilt of their swords, but at the moment of engagement, when they saw Qing Yu go away, the muscles on their arms relaxed again.

Du Yinxi reminded first: "General, the Qing soldiers went to Huguang Camp"

Everyone looked at it in their eyes, thinking of He Tengjiao's ruthlessness in the day, and it was inevitable that some people would have the idea of gloating

Zhai Zhe tightened his eyebrows.

No one spoke in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, and Du Yinxi swallowed back half of his words. Now that he has surrendered his military power, he should no longer point fingers.

"It's less than two hours before dawn......" Zhai Zhe seemed to be thinking, and saw that Du Yinxi was very uneasy, and said: "Qing Lu's move is to kill himself and rashly attack in the dark, don't be in the ambush of Qing Lu, and wait for dawn after dawn, the loyal battalion will go out to attack Qing Lu with the Huguang army." ”

Li Guo and Gao Yigong both agreed.

Plug Yinxi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It is He Tengjiao's business if He Tengjiao does not save the loyal battalion, if the loyal battalion does not save the Huguang army, how will he not be the same? He didn't know that the general around him actually thought so.

Zhai Zhe's face was very calm, and his heart was very hard.

No matter what tricks the Qing Lu was playing, the vast camp of the lake opposite now could only ask for more blessings for themselves.

"Governor He, you lead tens of thousands of troops back and forth, you must fight a decent battle, otherwise these soldiers and horses will not be able to pay the military salaries they have received."

He wouldn't go, and he didn't dare to save He Tengjiao. That person knew he was here, and maybe anything could be done.

The battlefield is nothing but a continuation of the court dispute. Today, he finally understood the meaning of what Liu Suifeng said to him at the beginning, and he was no longer the original Zhai Zhe. Young and young, hot-blooded and loyal, he is gone, he is not Lu Gong, so he will never die in the year of thirty-nine.

Huguang can only have one master, and the generals Zhai Zhe and He Tengjiao do not trust each other, and they are incompatible.

Dozens of miles away, the sound of guns was heard, and the battle began.

Zhai Zhe did not continue to wait and see, but turned around and returned to the Chinese army's big tent.

The Qing soldiers attacked the camp of the loyal camp in the same way as they attacked the camp during the day. The progress is far more smooth than Luckedhun's imagination. Although the loyal battalion is a long-defeated army, Gu Yu has been entangled with officers and soldiers for many years, and the antlers, horse rejection walls, arrow towers and wooden fences in the camp are very particularly arranged.

Of the 50,000 or 60,000 people in the Huguang battalion, except for Hao Shaoqi's department, which was split from the loyal battalion, from the general army to the non-commissioned officers, no one fought a battle of tens of thousands of people. They were a little better equipped than the Loyal Battalion, but unfortunately there were no warriors who could use them.
