Shi Kefa was determined to storm Jiangle County, and Zheng Sen's troops also crossed Tianjie Mountain at this time to reach the south bank of Daxi. Zheng Sen's foot soldiers showed a quality that the Fujian guards did not have, and soon began to cross the river, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

"Ministry, Zheng Sen's thief has a good calculation, come to grab credit at this critical moment!"

A general complained dissatisfiedly in Scofa's ear. And Shi Kefa reprimanded nonchalantly: "No credit is indispensable to you, now take your people to the old man to attack the city." If you can't get it before sunset today, you can come and see you. ”

The general was frightened, quickly said a promise, and left cautiously, leading the troops to success. Shi Kefa was very unkind to the generals under his command, far from being as easy-going as he was to treat Ning Tai's military subordinates like Liu Tong. If Liu Tong was here at this time, he would persuade him bitterly, and then carefully explain why Zheng Sen was allowed to compete for merit. But the vulgar martial artist only needs to fight his own battle well, and he doesn't need to bother with it at all. These people don't read Confucius and Mencius, and they have no loyalty in their chests, in the final analysis, they are just Qiu Ba who work their lives to fill their stomachs.

To put it bluntly, these people all belong to the lord who has milk and is a mother, and they can eat the food of the Ming Dynasty, the rice of the Tartars, and the food of those traitors and generals in the future.

With the sound of shouts of slaughter, the army crashed into the low rammed-earth walls like a colony of locusts. After a series of preparations, the soldiers had already made up their minds, and they carried the ladders one after another, pushing the cart and smashing it into the small city that looked vulnerable.

Seeing the two sides fighting, the soldiers climbed the wall like ants. The small city may soon fall, but Shi Kefa can't bring up the slightest excitement and relief. This feeling is not even clear to him. It stands to reason that as long as the rebellion of King Huai is completely pacified, and the rebellion of the Huangmei thieves who have tormented him for several years, there will finally be a perfect ending.

However, this perfect ending is coming, but it makes him feel a little lost. In the final analysis, the appearance of the Huangmei thief is not as harmful to the imperial court as it is not as serious as that of Zhang Li Liu. But it is by no means light, and many of the consequences are hidden under the peace.

Originally, the Huangmei thief, who was only a plague in the two or three provinces in the west of Nanzhili, was able to kidnap the King of Huai and rebel with him, and even defeated the Duke of Wei after the founding hero. And all this is just a foreshadowing for Li Xin's birth.

Up to now, Li Xin's Three Guards Army had actually controlled the provinces of Nanzhili, Jiangxi, and Huguang, and now they were going to march into Fujian, and once they succeeded, there would be no one to match them in the south of the Yangtze River. Coupled with the fact that the north-south communication between the north and the south of the imperial court was cut off, the provinces south of the Yangtze River controlled by Li Xin were effectively equivalent to separating feudal towns.

Even if the imperial court purged the Central Plains thieves in the future and opened up the north-south communication, and Li Xin's secession has become a fait accompli, it will be difficult to calmly recover the military power and financial power in Jiangnan. And once Li Xin integrates the resources of all parties in the south of the Yangtze River, the two provinces of Zhejiang and Zhizhi, which are heavy in the world, will have enough strength to compete with the imperial court.

In the midst of his thoughts, someone next to him suddenly cheered: "The city gate is broken!" The gates are broken! ”

Shi Kefa took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that the dilapidated wooden gate of Jiangle County was knocked over and fell inside. The Ming officers and troops poured into the city like a tide along the narrow city gate, and victory was close at hand.

Banzai! Banzai!

The soldiers who pressed the formation couldn't suppress the joy and excitement in their hearts, and they all shouted in unison like a high-pitched and venting voice! Because the destruction of Lecheng means the complete defeat of King Huai, they just need to wait for the result of King Huai being captured alive or killed. With this in mind, they will end this arduous jungle expedition and return to their hometown......

But suddenly, a riot on the left flank of the army made Shi Kefa's brows jump twice for no reason. He rode on his horse and looked out over the left flank on the high ground, but his view was blocked by the undulating terrain.

"Send a few people over to see what is going on on the left wing!"

The staff general beside him loudly agreed, and personally led dozens of people all the way to the left flank. After a while, he fled back with a roar of urine, and cried out like a lost dog.

"Oh no! Zheng Sen has surrendered to the enemy and has already been killed! Zheng Sen has surrendered to the enemy and has already been killed! ”

With the cry of the general, it can be seen that the Zheng army's foot soldiers rushed up the hill, and the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers on the left flank were caught off guard by the sudden situation and fled in all directions. Several generals in charge of the left flank were killed by Zheng Jun's archers at the beginning, which made the left flank of the officers and troops who had lost their command even more chaotic, and it was already a mess in just a moment, and it was impossible to reorganize and counterattack.

Seeing this situation, Shi Kefa's heart was shocked, and he immediately understood that he was going to do something. Now the officers and troops led by him are all focused on attacking Jiangle County, and they never expected Zheng Sen to launch an attack on themselves at this time. Moreover, as soon as the Zheng army launched a surprise attack, it crushed the left flank with lightning speed. As soon as the left flank was lost, the entire Chinese army was exposed to the impact of the rebel army and the Zheng army.

The rebel army lost its command and restraint, and in order to flee for its life, it hit Shi Kefa's Chinese army like a rewinding tide, and if this situation was allowed to spread, it would have to be defeated by these rebel armies without waiting for the Zheng army to attack. When the time comes, people just need to rush up and clean up the battlefield.

Soon, the general fled back to the Chinese army to return to Shi Kefa, and the constant shouts had changed the tone nervously.

"Ministry, Ministry, no, no, it's not good, Zheng Sen sneaked up on the left flank of our army, the deputy general of the left flank was shot dead on the spot, the left flank, the left flank is finished......"

Shi Kefa was furious, and when he pulled out the sword at his waist, he slashed it down. It's just that the deputy general is wearing thick armor, and Shi Kefa is old and weak, so there is no effect of falling with a knife in his hand and his head falling to the ground. Shi Kefa's sword cut through the leather neck guard of the general, and then penetrated more than three inches into the neck, seeing the blood in the neck cavity gushing out from the incision, the general looked at Shi Kefa in disbelief, and covered the wound on his neck with both hands, wanting to scream but couldn't scream, allowing the strength in his body to disappear little by little with the gushing blood.

"Misceiving the crowd! Condemn the crime! The left-wing lieutenant has not been shot, and is organizing soldiers to fight back! ”

After all, Shi Kefa had never killed anyone with his own hands, and this time he was forced to make a sudden move. The call sign of the general has seriously disturbed the morale of the officers and men of the Chinese army, so this person must be killed to prevent the morale of the Chinese army from completely collapsing. At the same time, Shi Kefa waved his bloody sword again and raised his arms.

"Soldiers! Zheng Sen'er was not self-conscious, rebelled against the court, and everyone was punished! If an ordinary soldier kills Zheng Jun alone, the old man will promote him to be the general manager, and kill two people and a thousand generals......"

At the critical moment, Shi Kefa didn't care about the problem of indiscriminate rewards for officials, if they didn't use the only way to boost morale, what was waiting for them would be the annihilation of the whole army.

Sure enough, Shi Kefa's move of killing the generals first and then rewarding them with officials and lords achieved unexpected results, and the morale that was already close to collapse was reinvigorated.

"Kill the Zheng thief! Kill the Zheng thief! ”

I don't know who was the first to shout, so the entire Chinese army roared angrily, and its momentum was terrifying.

Shi Kefa was very satisfied with the morale of his subordinates, and waved his arms again.

"Kill the thief!"

With the addition of Shi Kefa, the shouts of the thieves quickly infected every corner of the battlefield. The scattered left-wing officers and troops, before attacking the Chinese army's formation, were finally diverted to both sides by an invisible force, so as not to crush the Chinese army in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Shi Kefa was in a dilemma, and he couldn't advance or retreat. On the one hand, his front army has already invaded Jiangle County, so their Chinese army must not retreat, otherwise the fate of those soldiers who enter the city will be self-evident. And if they don't withdraw, the tens of thousands of Zheng army's sneak attack army, once they are all crushed, they will also be in a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Shi Kefa smiled bitterly, even if he ordered the withdrawal of troops at this moment, what could he do? Perhaps with the order to withdraw the army, the so-called retreat will turn into an uncontrolled rout in the blink of an eye, and all his horses will be slaughtered by the other party in the rout.

What makes Shi Kefa even more careful is that the generation from Shunchang to Jiangle has only a narrow and flat strip, which is extremely unfavorable for the retreat or escape of the army. And Zheng Sen's men and horses can just go all the way along this narrow strip of land and pursue the remnants of the army.

Suddenly, only to hear the sound of Zheng Jun's earth-shattering shouting from the direction of the left flank, several generals around Shi Kefa listened for a while, and immediately changed their faces. It turned out that the other party was actually fighting with him-for-tat, shouting, "Capture Shi Kefa alive!" Capture Shi Kefa alive! ”

Shi Kefa didn't understand why Zheng Sen suddenly turned the knife and opened the knife at the official army. However, he immediately understood that his strategy of using Zheng Zhilong to contain Li Xin had completely failed, not so much a failure, but rather that he had misjudged the situation from the beginning.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the relationship between Zheng Zhilong and Li Xin seemed to be on the same footing, and the two sides were either dead or alive. Only this explanation can explain Zheng Sen's abnormal behavior, this person even dared to risk the world's common revenge, and cooperated with King Huai to trap himself, it seems that this person's courage is indeed good. In the future, it must be Li Xin's fierce rival.

Shi Kefa even faintly hoped in his heart that it was Li Xin's Three Guards who was fighting against Zheng Sen at this moment, and he wanted to see who would win and who would lose when the two strong met. However, Shi Kefa was quickly pulled off his horse by several generals, "Ministry, there are archers on the other side who specialize in shooting the main general of our army." Can't wait any longer! ”

Capturing the thief and capturing the king, Zheng Sen's good strategy, but it was this reminder that made Shi Kefa suddenly wake up that Zheng Sen dared to openly attack himself, and the idea was to kill himself and all the officials who knew about it. Suddenly, he only felt a terrible chill all over his body, like falling into an ice cave.
