~~~~~~

Outside Xingshan County, the 3,000 troops who were as fierce as a tiger and Liu Shijie had already assembled.

Looking at the dilapidated city, the banner of the word 'dedication' erected high, a touch of fierceness suddenly flashed in the eyes of the tiger-like old man, "Sacrifice thief, finally meet again!" ”

At this time, Fierce Tiger and Liu Shijie came from Sichuan exhausted.

Kaixian was defeated, the officers and troops suffered heavy losses, Yang Sichang was angry and vomited blood, and is now recuperating in Sichuan.

But in the past few years, the fierce tiger and the thieves have fought many times, but due to the lack of support from the imperial court, they have been defeated repeatedly, relatives, tribes, and countless people have died in the war.

Therefore, this time, the fierce tiger did not listen to Yang Sichang's persuasion and stayed in Sichuan to recuperate, but killed all the way, hoping to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the thief and give him a head-on blow!

"Fierce handsome, it seems that the thief has already prepared at this time, and there is the benefit of the city wall, shall we attack or not?" On the side, Liu Shijie looked at the crowded figures in the city, and he had no confidence in his heart, and he was busy with the fierce tiger on the side.

He is a local general in Huguang, and he is not very brave, but he really admires the courage and martial courage of the fierce tiger, so he led his troops to follow the fierce tiger.

Fierce as a tiger quietly looked at Xingshan County, not far away, with ravines on his old face.

In fact, he is only in his early forties, but the bitterness and powerlessness of the past few years have made this majestic man from northern Shaanxi look like an old man in a sixtieth year at this time!

"Attack! Since we're here, how can we not attack? We are tired, and the sacrifice thief is afraid that it is not comfortable! You can't let him go so easily! Someone! Pass on my military orders, the whole army prepares, prepare to attack the city! Fierce as a tiger said coldly.

"Yes!" The soldiers quickly went down to give orders, and the army of 3,000 quickly became operational.

At this time, his son Meng Xianjie walked to the side of the fierce tiger, "Father, there are many thieves and soldiers, but we are alone at this time, if we rush up, we may not change!" The son is not talented, he is willing to be a pioneer for his father, and he is willing to explore the truth of the thief for his father! ”

Fierce as a tiger was stunned for a moment, but he also reacted, Aiko said more safely, so he nodded, "Be careful!" Liu and I joined the army, covering for you on the side! ”

"Sons, copy guys, follow me to attack the city!" Meng Xianjie roared, lifted his long knife, took the lead, led six hundred elite soldiers, and slaughtered towards Xingshan City with great momentum!

~~~~~~

At the head of the city, Zhang Xianzhong's brows furrowed slightly, and he turned to the generals around him and said, "They are as fierce as tigers and Liu Shijie?" No other reinforcements? ”

A personal soldier on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The Eight Kings, there are indeed only two departments of Fierce Tiger and Liu Shijie, three thousand officers and soldiers, and our spies have not found their follow-up reinforcements!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help sneering, "It's really an ambitious leopard's guts!" There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to break into! Sons, who has the courage to take down these two thieves for me? ”

Liu Wenxiu had already seen the opportunity, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Wenxiu is not talented, I am willing to be a pioneer for my father!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but laugh and nodded vigorously, "Okay!" Very good! Wenxiu, these two thieves will be handed over to you! You can lead your headquarters on the expedition, and the Father is here waiting for your good news! ”

Liu Wenxiu was overjoyed, "The father is handsome, and the son is going to take the head of the dog that is as fierce as a tiger!" ”

~~~~~

Not long after, the gate of Xingshan County was wide open, and Liu Wenxiu led more than 2,000 elite soldiers of the headquarters, and the mountains roared like a tsunami towards the fierce first and the first department!

In fact, it is no wonder that Liu Wenxiu is so keen to fight with the fierce tiger department, Gain, in the past few years, the thief has almost rarely lost against his department, and has an absolute psychological advantage!

At this time, there are only more than 3,000 people in total, and this is just the same as Liu Wenxiu's headquarters!

Moreover, Liu Wenxiu also knows a lot about being as fierce as a tiger, although the official army is 3,000 people, but the real strength of the fight, I am afraid that half of it is good, this is simply a merit sent to the door in vain!

In a matter of moments, the pairs collided violently together!

However, although the number of Meng Xianjie's troops is small, they are all fierce as tigers, Ning and Gujing soldiers, with strong combat power, and they rush into battle, facing Liu Wenxiu's thief soldiers who are several times their own, and they will not fall behind for a while!

The two sides were already on the tip of the needle, and the grievances were already very deep, and in this small open space at the foot of Xingshan City, there was a fierce fight!

On the side, the fierce tiger's face was a little gloomy, he could already see that although the two sides seemed to be evenly matched at this time, Liu Wenxiu was a lot of people after all, and it was only a matter of time before he was tired and defeated by his beloved son!

"Brother Liu, the thief army is powerful, we can't judge it with common sense! No, you and I will rush up and defeat Liu Wenxiu first! Fierce as a tiger hurriedly said to Liu Shijie on the side.

Liu Shijie also understood what Meng Ruhu meant, and hurriedly said: "What Meng Shuai said is very true, let's do it!" ”

The two of them looked at each other and made a decision!

In a moment, there was a commotion in the official and military camps, and soon, fierce as a tiger and Liu Shijie each led their own foot soldiers, and rushed towards Liu Wenxiu's department!

"Grass! These dog officers! Seeing that the officials and soldiers rushed up, Liu Wenxiu couldn't help but scold, but he had no other way but to bite the bullet and command his brothers to go up!

The two sides are fighting fiercely together!

~~~~~

At the head of the city, Zhang Xianzhong sneered, "The dog is as fierce as a tiger, does he really think he is a tiger!" Do something villainy! Hopefully, didn't you want to go on the expedition a long time ago? Now, the Father has given you that opportunity! Go, cut off the head of a dog as fierce as a tiger and see me! ”

Sun Kewang has been silent for a long time, but he didn't expect that such a good thing would actually come to his head, and he didn't react for a while.

Fortunately, Li Dingguo was clever and touched his arm gently.

Sun Kewang reacted at this time, and knelt down with great joy and said: "Father, wait for my good news!" ”

In a moment, Sun Kewang also led the headquarters and rushed out of the city!

~~~~~

Fierce as a tiger and Liu Shijie, who were tired divisions, rushed from Sichuan overnight, and at this time there was a fierce battle, only one of Liu Wenxiu, barely able to deal with it, but with the killing of Sun Kewang's department, it was like pushing the first domino, which instantly triggered a chain reaction!

"Fierce handsome, no! The boys can't hold it anymore! If this continues, I'm afraid we'll all have to fold here! It's better to take a step back and then make a plan! Liu Shijie's headquarters had been killed and collapsed, and he only took dozens of personal soldiers and ran in front of the fierce tiger.

As fierce as a tiger at this time, he was covered in blood, but his old eyes were full of determination, "Go?" Where can we go? The offering thief is in front, and since he is already powerless, why not fight with the offering thief! Even if the horse leather shroud, you don't have to suffer this wronged anger again! ”

Liu Shijie's tears fell, "Fierce handsome......"

At this time, Meng Xianjie was desperately rushing to this side, he understood his father's temperament, and knew that the reason why his father came after the thief was that he had already saved his heart of death, and he hurriedly shouted: "Father!" You guys get back first! Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood! I have been in the Ming Dynasty for 300 years, how can I be beaten down by such a thief? Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong are powerless, but there is still Qi Guogong! Qi Guogong is in Luoyang at this time, he will definitely not let the thieves make trouble in Huguang! Father, you go quickly, go quickly! After I come to break, I won't leave, but it's too late! ”

At this time, Sun Kewang was already under the protection of more than a dozen personal soldiers, frantically killing this side!

Meng Xianjie saw that his father had not reacted, and he was also anxious, and the long knife slapped the buttocks of the war horse under his father's crotch, shouted, and rushed towards Sun Kewang!

"Pioneer !!" Fierce as a tiger's heart-rending roar!

"Father, let's go! Let's go! Meng Xianjie glanced back at his father vigorously, and went forward without hesitation!

As fierce as a tiger's heart about to burst, he could only hold back his tears, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Withdraw!" Remove! Evacuate! ”

In a moment, the officers and soldiers were like a dam bursting, desperately retreating behind them......

~~~~~~~

At this time, Liu Ruyi had already led a large army into the territory of Huguang, from Gucheng to the east, stepped through Fancheng Pass, and approached the city of Xiangyang.

Huguang's situation at this time is like a young child abandoned by his parents, his father does not hurt, his mother does not love, he relies on his own strength, but he is helpless, only by relying on strong external forces, he can continue to live!

At this time, the imperial court has lost control of Huguang, and Liu Ruyi will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity!

However, this expedition is not 'justifiable', Liu Ruyi is also happy to keep a low profile, try to avoid letting more people know, and make a fortune in silence, this is Liu Ruyi's consistent style!

At night, as soon as the army arrived at the city of Xiangyang, Luo Anbang, the general of Huguang, hurriedly took his headquarters to the camp of the Caishi Army.

"Humble Luo Anbang, I've seen Grandpa Guo!" Luo Anbang knelt respectfully in front of Liu Ruyi.

He hasn't changed much from the old days, but his face is a little haggard, and it can be seen that he has not been happy in Huguang in the past few years!

Liu Ruyi smiled and waved his hand, "General Luo, please get up!" Come here now, but what good news do you have for me? ”

Luo Anbang couldn't help frowning, and said with some embarrassment: "Grandpa Guo, there is no good news, but there is bad news!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Ruyi's nerves also raised, "Let's talk about it!" ”

Luo Anbang hurriedly said carefully: "Grandpa Guo, the news that I just got from my humble position, just yesterday, the two departments of Fierce Tiger and Liu Shijie were defeated by thieves in Xingshan County, and the son of Fierce Tiger died first!" ”

Liu Ruyi's face was also gloomy, "Isn't Fierce as a Tiger in Sichuan?" Why did he come to Huguang again? ”

"This?" Luo Anbang was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "Grandpa Guo, as fierce as a tiger and a thief are as deep as the sea, many relatives and foot soldiers died in the confrontation with the thief!" I think, this time, he, he is probably also a meritorious person, so he will go deep alone! ”

Liu Ruyi slowly breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fierce as a tiger, he can be regarded as one of the few generals in the late Ming Dynasty who was willing to listen to the words of the imperial court and was willing to fight!

Liu Ruyi has only had a one-sided relationship with him, and his friendship is not deep, but he probably knows Lu Dao, he is an authentic man from northern Shaanxi, and he started in northern Shaanxi in his early years by suppressing the Liumin Army.

He's defeated now......

Liu Ruyi gently rubbed his temples, no longer thinking about this, turned his head and asked Luo Anbang again: "Ignore these for now, now, where is the main force of the thieves?" Do you have any news? ”
