In the rear army camp, there was chaos around the infantry camp left behind by the Runing battalion.

When Liu Zeqing successively brought the defeated troops of the Ming army back to the rear army camp, those defeated troops immediately began to sweep the rear army camp with the acquiescence and encouragement of their military attaché.

The escape of the rout army at that time was completely abandoning the armor. Now that their armor is discarded, there is nothing left around them. So after just fleeing to the rear camp and spending the night in a state of panic, the next day the rout began to be a little ready to move.

For those who have broken the army, the food they eat is not enough. Because they saw the arrival of the defeated army, under the order of Governor Liu Yulie, Liu Zeqing and they also supplied a batch of grain and grass. But the routs didn't even have anything to live in. Not to mention the tent covers, there are not even a few white cloths to wash your face.

So what are you waiting for? Grab it! Liu Zeqing's men and horses are still there because of the chief officer Liu Zeqing. Therefore, those defeated troops also gave Liu Zeqing face, and his army only suffered some small losses.

And the soldiers and horses of the Cao soldiers' Yanding Mountain guerrillas were unlucky. Except for Yan Dingshan and the soldiers around him who didn't move because they saved face for him, the other Cao soldiers and horses were robbed like beggars.

And the rout, which had a great gain, immediately pointed the direction of the robbery to Wu Shigong's Runing battalion. However, the Runing battalion was held under the command of the remaining Zhou Xun, and those routs did not work together, and no one refused to come out first. So on this day, the camp of the Runing camp was finally preserved.

It should be said that this kind of chaos in the camp, as the governor of the army, Liu Yulie, should have stopped it immediately, and Liu Zeqing and Yan Dingshan also went to meet Liu Yulie several times after being robbed. But at this time, Liu Yulie didn't have the heart to care about such a trivial matter at all. In Liu Yulie's eyes, as long as it is not too chaotic, these vulgar soldiers grab some food and grass or something, it is just trivial, and Liu Yulie will not take it to heart.

Liu Yulie is now worried about how to deal with the imperial court. Whether to continue to appease the rebels, or to ask the imperial court to send reinforcements. The key is to resolve this rebellion as quickly as possible, or at least to get yourself out of this defeat.

But Liu Yulie's laissez-faire attitude immediately became a disguised encouragement to the rout. Therefore, on the third day, under the instructions of their respective military attachés, the defeated army temporarily formed a team and came to grab the supplies of the Runing battalion with great vigour.

And what about Weishenme's robbery of the Runing battalion in Zuihou? The main reason for this is that the camp of the Runing camp is well built.

At that time, in order to protect themselves, the large camp of the rear army was also built relatively strongly. Of course, the construction of this large battalion was mainly under the guidance of the officers of the Runing Battalion, who had the most experience in building large battalions.

And the Runing camp is very disciplined about the construction of its own camp. Their camp must have been built close to the river, so that it was easy to get water and to defend it (because it was difficult for the enemy to attack on the side facing the river). Therefore, the camp of the Runing battalion must have been built on the edge of the rear army camp.

This is also very simple, because under normal circumstances, except in extreme cases such as to secure ferries, no army would build its own battalion across rivers and streams.

In addition, although the camp of the Runing battalion was in the rear army camp, they still dug trenches and built fences around their camps, and they were independent camps.

In fact, this is the basic common sense in the construction of army camps. We often see what "plum blossom camp" and "gossip camp" are built in the construction of large camps in ancient times, which means that several independent small camps are built in the big camp.

This is also to prevent the entire battalion from collapsing completely after the enemy breaks through the camp, and the army can continue to resist by relying on independent small camps. Of course, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were very few Ming troops who built camps strictly according to this rule.

Therefore, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the story of the hundred horsemen rushing to Cao Ying in Eastern Wu must be fictional. Then Cao Cao is a military strategist who can write military books, how could he not build N independent small camps in his own large camp and make such a low-level mistake? After all, that romance is just romance.

In addition, if it is an army of tens of thousands of people, their large camp is actually more than just a camp. Their large camps are often built in several, which can echo and support each other. Of course, when there was only one day to build in a hurry, Wu Shigong and Liu Zeqing's rear army camp still only built one.

Having introduced the knowledge of the construction of these large camps, we should know that Weishenme had not stormed the camp of the Runing camp the day before because of the robbery.

On the third day, however, the defeated army had been effectively organized, and they surrounded the camp of the Runing camp from three sides. In the eyes of the rout, so many people did it together, and the more than 1,000 people in the Runing battalion would definitely not dare to let out even a fart.

But what I didn't expect was that with Liu Zeqing's lesson yesterday, the soldiers of the Runing battalion had already prepared under the command of Zhou Xun to prevent the rout of the army from rushing to the camp.

As soon as they saw the soldiers of the Runing battalion show their weapons, those routed troops did not dare to step forward at first. But they didn't want to let go of the fat in front of them, in the end, there were too many supplies in the Runing camp, just look at the more than 600 horses and so many carts in the camp. Therefore, the two sides were at war in front of the trench.

"If you have a kind, hit grandpa!" A rout of the army shouted loudly. Today, this Qian Zong is also one of the leaders of the Chong battalion.

Although the rout of the camp was temporarily stopped, the military attachés and soldiers in the Runing camp were still nervous. In the end, this is a fire union, a great sin of killing heads! Besides, their backbone Wu Shigong was not present, so they had to wait nervously for the supreme military attache present, Zhou Xun, to issue an order.

Zhou Xun is also sweating profusely, this order is not easy to order. Although there were more than 1,000 people in the camp, only the more than 600 people from the infantry and artillery teams of the Runing battalion could fight, and the more than 800 auxiliaries who had just joined were frightened when they saw the menacing rout outside the camp, and it was impossible for them to be of any use in this situation. And outside the camp now, there are thousands of defeated troops.

And Zhou Xun also knew that fire was not a big crime, and even his own adults might not be able to resist this kind of crime. However, it is the responsibility of his lord to keep the materials of the Runing Battalion, and it is impossible for these routed troops to rush into the camp of the Runing Battalion. Therefore, Zhou Xun is indeed a two-pronged dilemma.

And now this powder keg is burning at one point, and Zhou Xun also understands that he can't be impulsive, so he thinks about delaying a little longer. Therefore, in the face of the provocation outside the camp, Zhou Xun still ordered the soldiers of the Runing battalion not to fight back.

"Mr. Zhou Qian, let's discuss it carefully, give some things to these people outside the camp, temporarily deal with the situation in front of us, and wait for our adults to come back." Yu Ji suggested on the side. As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"It's easy to relax, but how do you make sure they don't get an inch?" Zhou Xun's thinking was quite clear, and he rejected Yu Ji's proposal. After all, Zhou Xun has been in the capital for a long time, and he has seen a lot of situations where one side is pressing step by step, and the other side is retreating step by step, so that the whole situation collapses.

"So what to do? If they do rush into camp, will we really beat them with firearms? ”

Zhou Xun sniffed vigorously and looked nervously outside the camp. He didn't know how to answer Yu Ji's question.

And seeing that there was no reaction in the battalion, the commander of the defeated army was always more arrogant. He shouted, "They don't dare to do it, children, hurry up!" Rest assured, we'll leave you with a pair of pants. ”

That Qianzong's words caused the rout around the army to be a commotion. Dozens of bold routs took the wooden planks that had been prepared long ago and erected them on the trench to make wooden bridges, ready to rush into the camp of the Runing camp.

Zhou Xun's clenched fists were also wet, and he didn't know what to do. This order is hard to collect.

At this moment, a sudden shout came from behind him: "Get out of the way!" As soon as Zhou Xun turned around, he only saw Liang Hui commanding the artillery team and pushing three artillery pieces over.

The soldiers of the Runing battalion, standing on the edge of the wooden fence, subconsciously made way for the artillery, and the artillery was successfully erected to the edge of the camp.

By this time, the rout had already stepped on the plank bridge. The trench in this large camp will certainly not be dug too wide, and the routed army is about to rush to the gate of the camp.

Liang Hui ordered without hesitation: "Grandma! Fire! The three cannons were immediately ignited with a dull roar.

This time, the gun was loaded with shotguns. Driven by gunpowder, a large particle of iron sand was rapidly launched. At this time, the range of the artillery shotgun was not far, that is, twenty or thirty paces, but the shotgun was fired into a fan, and the coverage was quite wide, so it covered the entire front of the plank bridge at once.

The few soldiers who rushed in front were immediately torn to pieces by the shotguns, and all the people within the range were also beaten into hornet's nests by the shotguns.

Because the distance between the two sides was too close, the effect of this shotgun shooting was quite good, and 50 or 60 soldiers of the defeated army, including the general manager, who rushed to the front, were killed on the ground at once.

I didn't expect the Runing Battalion to really do it, and it was with artillery. Seeing the tragic situation of those who rushed to the front, all the soldiers of the rebels were stunned.

And Liang Hui's artillery team was also the first time to use shotguns to engage in live-fire combat, and the soldiers of the Runing battalion, including all the people in the artillery team, were also stunned by the power of artillery shotguns. The battlefield was suddenly in a state of temporary sluggishness.

Or did Zhou Xun react first, since the cannon had already been fired, what was the softness? He immediately ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze!" Firecrackers fire! ”

The firecrackers who reacted immediately picked up the guns that had already been loaded with ammunition and fired a volley from the outside. This shooting finally made the defeated troops outside the camp wake up. Without waiting for the second salvo, all the routs fled with shouts. By the time the smoke cleared, no one dared to approach within a hundred steps of the Runing camp.
