The spring cold is steep, the night is getting deeper, but the people are not quiet, the camp of the muteant army, which covers a huge area, is still brightly lit, and the bonfires are burning brightly, and they are everywhere in the camp of the muteer army for several miles, dense as stars, and beside each bonfire, there are many soldiers of the mutant army in tattered clothes and armor in a circle, chatting in a low voice, baking the fire to keep warm, and also borrowing the body temperature of their companions to keep warm, and the weapons are placed at their feet, ready to pick up and fight.

In fact, after a few months of wandering around and everyone looting down, these mutant army teams have accumulated a large number of camping tents, although most of them are tattered, but they can barely cover the rain and snow, in the early spring night when the snow has not melted, squeezing and sleeping in these broken tents is definitely a hundred times stronger than sleeping outside, but these soldiers of the mutant army still refuse to return to the account, and the grassroots generals also count the number of people from time to time to see if anyone is lazy and deserted.

Before it was dark, the two strongest bosses in the mutant army, Du Fuwei and Miao Haichao, had already spoken separately, asking the team under their command to divide into two groups, taking turns to guard the first half of the night and the second half of the night, and always beware of accidents. After discovering that Du Fuwei and Miao Haichao's team did this, other thieves who voluntarily or were forced to merge into one did not dare to slack off, and also ordered the team under their command to concoct the same method and strengthen vigilance, so as not to suddenly have an accident and lose their heads and not know how to die.

Of course, no one is not surprised why King Du and King Miao made such an arrangement, and no one did not inquire about the news by drilling holes in the mountains and sharpening their heads? If it is replaced by the regular army team, these situations can be better, and the general can basically calm the scene without asking many questions to carry out the order, but unfortunately this is the team of the people's army, a typical rabble, most of the people were still the rogue team of ordinary people not long ago, and between idle chats and conversations, countless reliable and unreliable rumors will naturally soon be flying all over the sky.

King Du and King Miao turned their faces and were ready to separate, which is the most reliable rumor.

King Miao and the officials and troops of Yongcheng secretly colluded and were discovered by King Du, so King Du was ready to kill King Miao and completely annex King Miao's team, which is a rumor that is relatively unreliable.

King Miao is ready to kill King Du and become the chief manager himself, which is also an unreliable rumor.

King Miao and Yongcheng Dog Officer Chen Yingliang are good friends, Chen Dog Officer wants to persuade King Miao to surrender, and King Du is ready to kill King Miao so that there will be no more traitors, which is an insider rumor.

King Du fell in love with King Miao's concubine, but King Miao didn't give it away, so the two sides were ready to fight, which was the most absurd rumor.

Regardless of whether these various rumors and rumors are reliable and absurd, the effect of the blow to the morale of the army is the same, and they look at the friendly camp next to each other with vigilant and wary eyes, and most of the soldiers of the mutant army have completely forgotten about the officers and soldiers of Yongcheng fifteen miles to the west. In fact, Du Fuwei and Miao Haichao and other big thieves have almost forgotten the direct threat of the Yongcheng officials and soldiers, and they are all prepared for the worst - if the situation is not right, they will immediately kill each other!

In fact, Du Fuwei and Miao Haichao also didn't understand that their relationship with each other would suddenly deteriorate to this point, Miao Haichao was a little better, knowing that Du Fuwei was suspicious and doubting himself, worried about colluding with the official army to betray him, but he didn't understand why Du Fuwei was such a small belly, because of some trivial things he regarded himself as an enemy? And Du Fuwei is different, Du Fuwei is now completely unable to judge whether Miao Haichao has secretly hooked up with Chen Yingliang, and whether he will suddenly stab himself with a black knife, so Du Fuwei can only be prepared for self-protection now, lest Miao Haichao and Chen Yingliang suddenly collude with each other inside and outside, and completely kill himself! And the contingency precautions that Miao Haichao's team was forced to take also made Du Fuwei feel that he had to do this, and he had to be careful to guard against Miao Haichao!

In fact, when things came to this point, even Du Fuwei's think tank Fu Gong Yi couldn't judge whether Miao Haichao really colluded with the official army, so Fu Gong Yi had to be forced to agree to Du Fuwei's preparation measures, and in addition to just persuading Du Fuwei to act cautiously, he must not turn his face until the last moment, and it was best to wait until the next morning to go to Yongcheng to collect the protection money. Du Fuwei also promised Fu Gongyi, saying that as long as Miao Haichao didn't make the first move, he would never make the first move, but if Miao Haichao dared to play any tricks, he would never be polite!

The main attention of the mutant army turned to the inside, and the prevention of external threats was naturally insufficient, and as a result, this also gave the night raid team led by Zhu Cang and Zhang Di a god-sent opportunity, using the cover of night and the familiarity with the terrain, the six regiments of the new army led by Zhu Cang and Zhang Di were able to kill the two patrol fire teams of the mutant army, and they unknowingly touched the perimeter of the camp of the mutant army, and then surround and annihilate!

Not to mention, the current camp of the Mutant Army really looks like a trap, there is only a circle of fences around the camp that are so thin that they can be pushed down, even if the camp is still brightly lit, bonfires are everywhere, and from a distance, it can be seen that the campfire is also surrounded by soldiers sitting on the ground. Seeing this scene, not to mention that the hearts of the new soldiers of Qianjun who went into battle for the first time trembled, even Zhang Di, the deputy sent by Chen Yingliang to Zhu Cang, who was born in the regular army, couldn't help but be worried, and whispered to Zhu Cang: "Brother Zhu, the enemy seems to be prepared, what should I do?" ”

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Zhu Cang, who was born in the head of the government service squad and had less battlefield experience than Zhang Di, muttered in his heart, but when things came to this point, it was impossible to turn back, and at the same time, the blood of the unwilling people was also burning in Zhu Cang's body, considering that he was very sure to kill him even if he encountered an ambush, Zhu Cang did not hesitate much, and immediately replied in a low voice: "Act according to the original plan and sneak attack Du Fuwei's camp!" This is Chen Tongshou's order, no matter how dangerous it is, it must be carried out! ”

Zhang Di nodded, whispered the order to the team, and explained by the way: "Remember, after rushing in, you must shout the slogan 'Kill Du Fuwei on the order of King Miao', and don't expose our identity as an official army!" ”

By the way, the reason why Zhang Di gave such an order was because the six new army teams brought by Zhu Cang and Zhang Di did not wear military uniforms and armor from top to bottom, and all of them wore tattered clothes stolen from the bandits' dens, and they were dressed in no difference from the bandit and homeless teams.

After all the arrangements were made, Zhu Cang quietly said a word of God's blessing, and then waved his hand, and took the lead with a gun to quietly touch the Du Fuwei camp in front, Zhang Di led the team to follow with fear, and the new army team behind was also trembling, and they were careful to keep up, and many people were ready to flee for their lives once the situation was wrong.

Out of confidence in the number of troops of his own army, the fortifications of Du Fuwei's army were outrageously simple, except for a thin fence, he didn't even bother to dig a trench, let alone any antlers to stop horses and stumble, as a result, this also cheapened Zhu Cang and Zhang Di's night raid team again, and easily touched the fence and hid behind a fence with few bonfires. Then, the soldiers of the New Army, who had no way out, quietly stepped forward, tied a few ropes to the fence, and then pulled them together, and a section of the fence that was not short also lay down, and then the soldiers of the New Army had already caught the fence and put it on the ground silently, opening a section of the road to the camp.

The time to decide success or failure came, under the leadership of Zhu Cang and Zhang Di, the soldiers of the new army rushed into the camp like ghosts, and quickly gathered in Du Fuwei's camp, but just when the soldiers of the new army were about to enter the camp, a Du soldier who noticed the abnormal noise suddenly came to Zhu Cang and others with torches, and when the light of the torch illuminated the black pressure of Zhu Cang and Zhang Di's team, the Du army soldier also opened his mouth so much that he could stuff a few eggs, In extreme shock, they forgot to shout.

With a snort, Zhu Cang, who had the fastest reaction and the best skill, rushed forward with an arrow, and the spear in his hand stabbed out like lightning, and a shot pierced the chest of the soldier of the mutant people's army, making the enemy soldier lie down with an unbelievable look, and then snatched the torch from the hand of the enemy soldier, turned to Zhang Di and shouted: "Bring the cannon battle that Chen Tongshou said!" ”

Zhang Di quickly took out a wine bottle filled with gunpowder, Zhu Cang took it, first lit the fuse, and then threw it to a bonfire full of soldiers of the Mutant Army in the distance, under the impetus of Zhu Cang's divine power, the wine bottle flew out with curling green smoke for sixty or seventy meters, and then it exploded violently in the sky, bursting into a ball of fire and making a loud noise, "Boom!" ”

Chen Yingliang asked Zhu Cang and Zhang Di to use gunpowder bottles, of course, he didn't expect this kind of primitive grenade with pitiful power to kill and injure the enemy, just to create this thunderous sound, and the result was just as Chen Yingliang expected and expected, after the huge explosion sounded in the middle of the night, it immediately resounded throughout the camp of the mutant army, not only alarming the camp of Du Fuwei's team, but also the camp of Miao Haichao's team and other rebel teams! Everyone was taken aback, scrambling to raise their heads and look in horror in the direction where the loud noise came.

"Kill!" Zhu Cang raised his gun and shouted, "King Miao has an order to kill Du Fuwei!" Kill me, brothers! ”

"King Miao has an order, kill Du Fuwei! Kill! The New Army team shouted chaotically, as if they were afraid that the enemy would not know that they were Miao Haichao's team, and then followed behind Zhu Cang and Zhang Di, rushing towards the place where the bonfires were relatively rare, and rushed to the soldiers of the Mutant Army who were still sitting around the bonfire in panic.

"Kill——!"

Zhu Cang, Zhang Di and all the soldiers of the new army were shocked, after they deliberately made a loud noise, before they could really fight the enemy, Du Fuwei and Miao Haichao's camp actually sounded at the same time, and then countless torches surged, Du Fuwei and Miao Haichao's team actually started the fire directly, and they were also very prepared and organized to quickly tear down the camp fence and rush directly to the opponent's camp, killing people when they saw them, stabbing people when they saw people, only in the blink of an eye, The junction area between Du Miao's two armies was already full of torches, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

During the battle, Miao Haichao's team, which had long been holding back the anger of Du Fuwei's team, rushed very fiercely, and beat Du Fuwei's team with poor morale and fighting spirit to retreat one after another, and was soon forced to retreat into the camp, and also forced Du Fuwei, who heard a loud noise, to quickly command the team to go all out to rescue the frontal battlefield, but did not pay enough attention to Zhu Cang and Zhang Di, who were not loud, and only sent a small number of troops to meet the new army. In this way, the ranks of the new army also had the opportunity to be tempered and sharpened when they first entered the battlefield, and they were able to fight and engage the enemy with a small disparity in strength.

Of course, this also gave Zhu Cang the opportunity to show his talents, in order to get ahead, but also for the coveted high-ranking officials and beautiful concubines, Zhu Cang, who was unwilling to be under the people, this time was a super level to play his marksmanship and martial arts, a good steel gun was danced in his hands like floating snow, the enemy on the opposite side was almost unmatched in front of him, one after another was stabbed by him and turned over, killing the enemy on the opposite side of the frightened, screaming and fleeing, Zhu Cang's new army soldiers behind him were greatly confident, followed by Zhu Cang's knife and gun, and won a lot, At the same time, he deliberately set fires, kicked over the surrounding bonfires, and threw burning wooden strips onto the dilapidated tents in the camp, and it didn't take long for Duvowe's camp to be full of fires and smoke.

Seeing this scene, Du Fuwei, who was in the middle of the command, was of course furious, and while ordering his godson Kan Liang and Ximen Junyi to lead an army to the enemy's new army, he personally led the main force to kill the frontal battlefield, and at the same time sent messengers to contact the other independent bandit leaders, and made a heavy promise to ask them to send troops to attack Miao Haichao's camp. On the other hand, although Miao Haichao, who had also personally put on the battlefield, did not know why the situation had suddenly deteriorated to this point, but in order to protect himself, Miao Haichao, who did not want to be tied down, still led the whole army to a decisive battle with Du Fuwei's troops, and at the same time sent people to contact other bandit leaders, and also made a heavy promise to ask them to attack Du Fuwei's camp!

"As long as you kill Miao Haichao (Du Fuwei), seventy percent of the things you grab will belong to them!" These were the words that Du Fuwei and Miao Haichao shouted at almost the same time.

The battle situation continued to change rapidly, and the time to test Zhu Cang and Zhang Di's ability to adapt to the battle had arrived, first of all, Zhang Di carefully found in the melee the number of torches that Du Fuwei's army rushed to the direction of Miao Haichao's camp was the most, and the number of torches rushing to the direction of his team was obviously small, and the number was not even one-third of the main battlefield! Then Zhang Di immediately reminded Zhu Cang of this situation, and Zhu Cang was of course overjoyed when he saw it, and said: "Okay, the enemy has begun to fight among themselves, and they haven't regarded us as the main opponent yet, we just fish in troubled waters." ”

"Brother Zhu, I think we should be smarter again." Zhang Dijian, who had some ghost ideas, said: "We should not fight hard with the enemy, take them around, take the opportunity to involve other bandit teams, and let them completely fight and fire, so that the fight is not only easy, but also more captured." ”

"Brilliant plan!" The future great warlord Zhu Cang almost intuitively knew that Zhang Di's contingency plan was far stronger than the original plan, so he immediately waved his spear, pointed to the open space to the north and shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" Trumpeter, wave the flag and follow me so that the brethren know the way! ”

More than 1,000 people, under the leadership of Zhu Cang, went all out to kill the open place where there were fewer enemies, and led the reinforcements sent by Du Fuwei to spread and expand the war, and also burned the flames of infighting and melee in the people's army.

I have never seen a bloody army that is always a recruit, Zhang Di, an opportunistic Jianyì, is of course very detrimental to the tempering and growth of the new army of Qian County, but in fact, Zhang Di's sneaky and slippery idea made the new army team inadvertently avoid a vicious battle, because the godson Kan Liang sent by Du Fuwei was also a ruthless character in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, and he was good at making a double-edged broadsword as long as one zhang. Zhu Cang, who is also a ruthless character, is really going to run into him, and he really has no certainty of victory.

Very unintentionally avoided the hard battle with the fierce man Kan Liang, Zhu Cang, who was also a fierce man, was like a fish in water and a tiger descending the mountain on other local battlefields, and the steel spears were invincible in the dance, and the soldiers of the mutant army who were in the way were frightened, and they all hugged their heads and ran away, and the morale of the new army was like a rainbow, all the way to the long drive, constantly breaking into the empty area of Du Fuwei's camp, lighting more tents, creating more chaos, the big fierce man Kan Liang roared behind the sky, but because of the distance, he would not be able to catch up with the new army of Qian County for a while and a half.

At this moment, on the main battlefield of the battle between Du Fuwei's troops and Miao Haichao's troops, the situation has gradually fallen into a stalemate, although Du Fuwei's troops are outnumbered, they suffer from the fact that their morale is not as good as the other party, and there are Zhu Cang's and Zhang Di's teams in the camp to kill people and set fire to make trouble everywhere, and they must be distracted to look after the rear, and they cannot use the advantage of troops to gain the upper hand for a while. Miao Haichao's team is victorious in high morale, and the soldiers of the Miao army, who have long been holding back the fire in their stomachs, are fighting hard one by one, killing the enemy, and the cohesion is relatively strong, especially the potters and tenants who followed Miao Haichao when he raised his troops, and they all followed Miao Haichao to charge into battle, but they suffered in the small number of troops, and the number of fierce generals was not as good as Du Fuwei's army, so they could not gain the upper hand, and could only fall into a stalemate like a meat grinder with Du Fuwei's army.

The key to victory or defeat has become several other teams of thieves who form an army alone, basically who they fall towards, and that side can have a safe chance of winning, in order to pull these teams of thieves who can influence the balance of victory and defeat over as friendly troops, Du Fuwei and Miao Haichao gave an order almost at the same time, "Go and tell Zhang Dazi of Sùteng County, Wang Liu of Hugging Calf Mountain, as well as Lu Mazi of Xushan and Xia Qiu Xia Da Worm, as long as they help me kill Du Fuwei (Miao Haichao), and all the things are them, we only need Du Fuwei (Miao Haichao)'s head!" ”
