I have to say that after the smooth sailing of the past few days, Zhou Boling has long since lost his initial vigilance, and even the sentry detectives are just sent out casually. In his opinion, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are simply vulnerable, and for so long, he has not even encountered a major battle, and his tense nerves have already relaxed.

A general in armor couldn't help frowning when he saw the chaos ahead, busy building bridges and preparing to cross the river.

Miao Qi's background is not bad, and his ancestors even had a general, but later his family fell into the middle of the road, and the family has declined, that is, he is just a squire between towns and villages.

But Miao Qi himself is quite motivated, practicing the family tradition, and reading a few military books, but as the only son in the family, the old man of the Miao family naturally refuses to let his only son enter the army.

This time, King Ning raised troops, and many local squires chose to support King Ning, whether they were forced or fooled.

The Miao family also stood on the side of King Ning, and Miao Qi also chose to join the army at this time, the old man of the Miao family couldn't stop it, so he had to spend a lot of effort and send Zhou Boling thousands of taels of silver, so that Miao Qi got a captain's position in the army, and his subordinates also commanded hundreds of people.

At this time, Miao Qi rushed to the carriage, listening to the beautiful sound coming from the carriage, Miao Qi couldn't help frowning and said, "General, the last general Miao Qi asks to see!" ”

In the carriage, Zhou Boling, who had been disturbed by the good things, couldn't help frowning, and said with a little displeasure: "Miao Qi, is there anything wrong?" ”

Miao Qi took a deep breath and said: "General, the last general is worried about crossing the river at this time, will Wang Shouren, Chen Tai and others suddenly kill and give us a half-crossing attack, the art of war is cloudy......"

For Miao Qi, Zhou Boling is quite disliked, Miao Qi is not bad, and he Zhou Boling is a bandit, if he hadn't been under King Ning early, he would not have today's status.

The most important thing is that Miao Qi has pointed out that he has problems with the command of troops more than once in the past few days, and even advised himself to restrain his subordinates. This made Zhou Boling very unhappy.

He made a name for himself on the road back then, and didn't he sit firmly on the top spot by conniving at the looting of his subordinates to win people's hearts.

In Zhou Boling's view, this commander of the army is actually no different from leading his brothers when he fell on the grass on the mountain.

As long as he can feed these men, then he will naturally be invincible.

As for Miao Qi's admonition to him several times, he mentioned the art of war at every turn, which naturally made Zhou Boling listen to it and dislike Miao Qi very much.

If it weren't for the fact that the Miao family was a local squire and had a relationship with many gentry who had taken refuge in King Ning, he would have thought of a way to kill Miao Qi a long time ago.

In the end, he is the general of this army, or is this Miao Qi, a mere captain, and he even wants to explain what kind of reason to General Zhaowu, who is personally crowned by his dignified prince.

I only heard Zhou Boling snort coldly: "What kind of half-crossing attack, Lao Tzu only knows that I have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under my command, can he Wang Shouren and Chen Tai pull out 3,000 men and horses?" You're not trying to tell me that I can't beat 3,000 people with 10,000 people. ”

Miao Qi couldn't help but say: "But the general should know that in the history books, there are many people who win more with less, if Wang Shouren and they really attack halfway, then our army will inevitably be defeated, as the so-called defeat is like a mountain, once the army is defeated, the army will be scattered, even if there are 100,000 troops, they may be chased and killed by thousands of people......

"Enough!"

I only heard Zhou Boling's angry roar, and then saw Zhou Boling open the curtain of the carriage, revealing a figure wearing only a middle coat, staring at Miao Qi with a pair of big eyes and shouting: "Miao Qi, you actually messed with our army's heart, could it be that the general didn't dare to behead you?" ”

Miao Qi's expression changed, he gritted his teeth, and insisted: "General, the last general's words are from the bottom of his heart......"

"Come on, give this general to take down this person who disturbs the morale of the army, hit the thirty boards, and if there is a recidivism, he will be beheaded and shown to the public!"

Immediately, the soldiers who were waiting on the side of the carriage immediately stepped forward to take down Miao Qi and dragged him aside, and then began to torture him with a cane in the stunned eyes of many people!

At this time, Zhou Boling was already disturbed by Miao Qi and had no interest, so he did not hesitate to get out of the carriage and look into the distance, at this time, the small bridge has been built, and he can cross the river at any time.

The vanguard general came quickly, jumped down and said to Zhou Boling: "General Qiyu, the bridge has been erected, and you can cross the river at any time!" ”

Glancing at Miao Qi lightly, Zhou Boling waved his hand and said, "General Chuanben will order, cross the river immediately!" ”

While speaking, Zhou Boling said to Miao Qi: "Miao Qi, General Ben will let you see if it is your art of war that is powerful, or General Ben's way of commanding troops!" ”

Zhou Boling's troops and horses, who had received the order, began to cross the river slowly.

Tens of thousands of troops crossing the river is naturally not a matter of a while, although there are not many horses, and the first to cross the river are some foot soldiers, but looking at the speed, I am afraid that an hour can be at most two or three thousand people to cross the river.

Zhou Boling just watched hundreds of people cross the river and returned to the carriage, judging by him, by the time everyone crossed the river, it was probably already evening, he only ordered his generals to cross the river quickly, and he was also preparing to stay overnight in Ji'an County.

Back in the carriage, Zhou Boling was not interested in caring about anything else.

At this moment, in a bush almost a mile away, after Wang Shouren shot and killed several sentry agents, Wang Shouren was worried that the shooting of several sentry agents would alarm the rebels.

After all, if the sentinel does not return for a long time, as long as the person in charge of the army is a little vigilant, he will inevitably realize that there are ambushes around.

Wang Shouren is worried about this, don't look at him when he left the city, he was full of confidence, but in the end, Wang Shouren was the first time to lead the army, and he actually didn't have any confidence in his heart.

After all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, the rebels are at least 10,000 people, but the available soldiers under him are only 2,000 people.

However, the only advantage is that Wang Shouren's soldiers and horses are all from the military, even if they are not elite, they are also military people, more or less stronger than those people who have just picked up swords and guns after dropping their hoes.

And Zhou Boling's men and horses are even more complicated, there are many bandits and bandits, there are also ruffians and hooligans, and some young people who have joined them for various reasons, if it is not for the so-called Ning Wang army signboard, it can be regarded as a group of rabble.

Wang Wu lay on the side, looking at the rebels who were slowly crossing the river in the distance, he couldn't help but swallow and said: "My lord, these people have already started to cross the river, when will we attack!" ”

Wang Yangming just glanced at it, and then said lightly: "Don't worry, now it's just thousands of people crossing the river, wait until there are more people crossing the river, I will wait for the killing generals to go out, keep the battle to settle the situation, and destroy Zhou Boling's troops." ”

Wang Wu's eyes faintly flashed with a little excitement and said: "This week, Bo Ling is really in vain as a general under King Ning, and he doesn't even have the slightest vigilance, and he deserves to be ambushed by adults." ”

Wang Shouren smiled slightly, slowly shook his head and said: "It's not that he is not alert, but that the arrogant army will be defeated, that Zhou Boling must have been more cautious than he is now when he first started the army, but unfortunately the speed of expansion is too fast, and he has been forgotten in just a few days, he has not put the imperial court soldiers and horses in his eyes at all!" ”

The speed at which the rebels crossed the river was a little faster under the urging of a large number of generals, and after almost an hour, there were as many as four or five thousand people crossing the river, accounting for about half of the army.

By this time, Wang Yangming had already led his men and horses to lie in the grass for about three hours.

Even if they are not tired lying there, but they don't dare to make any big moves, these soldiers are not light.

Seeing a smile on the corner of Wang Yangming's mouth, he nodded at Wang Wu, and soon several horses were pulled out of the pit.

At the same time, the two thousand soldiers who received the order also clenched their blades in their hands excitedly one by one and stood up.

Wang Shouren turned over and got on the horse, such as Wang Wu, several hundred households got on the horse, and then several flags were erected, and then Wang Yangming drew his sword in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "All the soldiers, follow the official to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, kill the rebel general Zhou Boling, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be a thousand taels of silver!" ”

Then the two thousand soldiers shouted in unison, followed closely behind Wang Yangming, and rushed towards the rebels who were slow and unguarded in the distance.

The movement here is so big, it naturally alarms the rebels.

It was only a few hundred meters away, and if you ran quickly, it would actually only take a few minutes, and the rebels suddenly saw the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, shouting and killing screams coming straight towards them, and the first thought in their hearts was that they had been ambushed.

The rebels, who were already in chaos, suddenly became even more chaotic, and even stampeded due to panic.

If it is said that it is a general who governs the army very strictly, he may be able to stabilize the morale of the army, even if he can't stabilize most of the people, at least some of the people can still be stabilized, so that there is still a few possibilities to solve the crisis.

However, the first reaction of these rabble under Zhou Boling when they were ambushed was to run around like headless flies, trying to escape.

After all, the black pressure and the imperial court soldiers and horses that rolled up the sky and dust were still very impactful for these rebels.

Don't say that those young people who have just dropped their hoes are strong, and those mountain bandits who were originally born with a fear of officers and soldiers also have the first thought when they see officers and soldiers is to run away quickly.
