As the commander of the first army, Li Zhen did not forget to guard against the night attack of the imperial army, so he specially arranged for his generals to patrol.

It's just that King Ning's rebels are a mixture, and it is not too much to say that it is a rabble, because the time is too short, and King Ning recruits everyone into the army, so it is conceivable that in this case, the army under King Ning seems to be outnumbered, but in fact, it is just a plate of scattered sand.

Li Zhen arranged for the generals in charge of the patrol to naturally arrange them to his lieutenant generals, and passed them on layer by layer, but there were people who went to inspect, but these night patrols were simply listless, and the number of people was greatly reduced.

Originally, according to Li Zhen's arrangement, at least thousands of soldiers patrolled the entire camp, and even outside the camp, sentry agents had to be arranged to keep an eye on the movements of the imperial court, but if there was the slightest abnormality, a warning signal would be issued.

It's a pity that after such a layer-by-layer arrangement, the number of people has been cut too much by the generals below.

The thousands of patrol soldiers arranged by Li Zhen turned out to be less than a thousand, and even the sentry detectives were cut by half.

In addition, these soldiers who arranged the patrol were reluctant one by one, and many night patrol soldiers even sneaked away to find a place to sleep beautifully.

It's just over an hour, and the number of night watchmen who were already thousands of people is more than one-third less.

In the dead of night, the whole camp was quiet.

Around Li Zhen's camp, more than a dozen personal soldiers were guarding the surroundings, but it was not very inconspicuous, and many of these dozen personal guards were confused and sleepy.

In their opinion, in the camp, it can be said that there is no safer place than here, as for Li Zhen's safety, if someone can sneak into the camp, not to mention anything else, then they must first find a place for Li Zhen to rest.

When Yue Buqun came out of his tent, he looked around, but after a few breaths, Yue Buqun had a general understanding of the state of the guards guarding Li Zhen's tent.

Originally, Yue Buqun's identity in the army was a member of the guard battalion, and he didn't even need to spend much effort, and Yue Buqun knew everything about the situation of the guards who kept vigil arranged by Li Zhen.

Except for the two or three of the dozen or so guards, they were in good spirits and devoted themselves to their duties, and as for the others, some even simply stuck their spears on the ground and took a nap with their spears in their arms.

His eyes swept around, a sneer appeared at the corner of Yue Buqun's mouth, and after judging the time, Yue Buqun was not in a hurry to sneak into Li Zhen's camp.

Yue Buqun's eyes couldn't help but turn to the direction where the grain and straw were stored in the camp, and he was a little worried about whether Zheng Baihu and the two of them would be able to set fire to the grain on time.

Once the grain is ignited, the rebel camp will inevitably be in chaos, and if he succeeds in assassinating Li Zhen, the dragons will be leaderless and the barracks will be on fire, and the rebels will be in chaos.

Zheng Baihu and the others had already lurked near the grain stalks, it seemed that because they were backed by the city of Nanjing, although they said that they had brought two or three days of grain and straw needed by the army when they left the city, but since Li Zhen went down, almost no one in the entire army cared about the safety of these grains.

They don't have to worry about the problem of grain and straw at all, after all, there is Nanjing City behind them, and there is more grain and grass, so there is no need to fight like a march, the most important thing is the safety of grain and straw.

It is precisely because of this that the army has almost no protection for the grain, and if there is anything to say, it is to send a thousand-person team to be responsible for the safety of the army's grain.

And such a thousand-person team didn't care about the safety of the grain at all, and at this time, these people were all sleeping in the big tent, but it was convenient for Zheng Baihu and the two.

It took a lot of effort for the two to collect dozens of catties of fire oil, and they saw the two of them quietly sneaking into the piles of grain, one was responsible for checking the movements around them, and the other was responsible for sprinkling the fire oil on several of the largest grain and grass piles.

Zheng Baihu judged the time, took a deep breath, nodded to the other person, and the two dispersed, each taking out a fire fold and lighting a few grains and grass.

Soon more than a dozen grain and grass piles were on fire.

Because there was no awareness of fire prevention at all, by the time some soldiers found the fire and shouted, Zheng Baihu and the two had even set fire to most of the grain and grass piles, and the fire of the grain and grass piles that were lit first was even bigger.

Of course, at this time, if a team of soldiers rushed to extinguish the fire with preparation in advance, there was a chance that the fire would be extinguished.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!"

The soldiers reacted but were at a loss, seeing that the fire was burning, there was no way to step forward to put out the fire.

Time passed little by little, and suddenly, a little fire flashed in the distance, but it was only a dozen breaths, and the sparkling fire suddenly expanded a lot, and it was even clearly visible.

When Yue Buqun saw this situation, he didn't know that Zheng Baihu and the others had already made a move, and vaguely heard a shout from a distance, Yue Buqun's body jumped, and he rushed towards the tent where Li Zhen was staying overnight like a phantom.

Several guards seemed to be alarmed by the shouts in the distance, and their spirits were shocked, and the next moment they saw a figure flash into the big tent.

"Not good, there are assassins ......"

A scream sounded, and the soldiers around were alarmed, even Li Zhen, who was resting in the tent, frowned in a daze, turned over, and scolded in a daze: "Bastard thing, disturbed the general's dream......"

Yue Buqun just heard Li Zhen's muttering, and the next moment the long sword in his hand slashed through Li Zhen's neck, and in his sleep, Li Zhen only felt a pain in his neck and didn't come to his intuition.

Carrying Li Zhen's head, Yue Buqun turned around, just as the two guards rushed into the big tent, and saw Li Zhen's head kicked in by Yue Buqun at a glance, and the two guards were dumbfounded.

Li Zhen was actually cut off by someone.

Two blood flashes, Yue Buqun cleanly beheaded the two guards, and shouted: "Oh no, the general is dead, the general is dead, the general is dead......"

Tens of thousands of rebels gathered in one place, and it can be said that a fire suddenly broke out in the camp at this time, coupled with Yue Buqun carrying Li Zhen's head and running around the camp shouting the news that Li Zhen was killed, the entire camp was suddenly in chaos.

"Oh no, the imperial army is coming, everyone flee quickly......"

"Run, the general has been killed......"

A fire ignited in the rebel camp, and Chu Yi had already made preparations, just waiting for Yue Buqun to make a move.

When he saw the fire rising in the rebel camp, Chu Yi, who was standing on the lookout in a big hat, showed a little smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Sun Qiu, Xu Tianzuo, the rebel camp is in chaos, and the enemy will only be broken tonight!"

Sun Qiu and Xu Tianzuo, who had already been ready to go, were shocked when they heard this, their eyes flashed brightly, and they shouted in unison, and immediately led the army to the rebel camp in front.

For a few miles, when the army was completely running, it was just a cup of tea, and at this time, the chaos in the rebel camp was at its peak.

Many of the rebels, who were still asleep, were awakened by the scurrying soldiers, and then they were engulfed by the panic and joined the fleeing group.

Even if there are generals who stand up and try to stabilize the situation at this time, it is impossible to do it for a while, and the most important thing is that the news of Li Zhen's killing has spread.

These generals are naturally in a panic in their hearts, where are they still in the mood to think about stabilizing the army, just when the imperial army has been killed.

A rabble is a rabble, and before the army can be killed, they will be in chaos.

But if you think about it, this is also very normal, you must know that in this era, the army camps at night, but any general who has a little knowledge will be very strict.

Sometimes, even the slightest movement can cause a roar, and even elite soldiers will lose their ability to judge in the dark of night, and it is normal for human beings to be driven by the instinct of the crowd.

These rebels were a rabble, and it is not surprising that they are now in chaos.

The earth shook, led by hundreds of cavalry, and tens of thousands of troops came straight to the chaotic camp, and at the same time shouted and killed the sky, and suddenly crashed into the chaotic camp of the rebels.

Just when there was chaos outside the city and the imperial army was wantonly chasing and killing the rebels, it was naturally impossible to hide such a big movement from the people in Nanjing.

The defenders of Nanjing City looked at the chaotic army camp in the distance from a distance, but no one dared to give an order easily.

The night march is something that only an elite army can do, and these generals under the command of King Ning are not fools, how can they not know what kind of goods they have.

At this time, if you open the city gate and go out of the city to rescue Li Zhen, not to mention whether you can save Li Zhen, in case the imperial army rushes into the city because of the opening of the city gate, who can afford this crime.

Besides, they didn't even dare to guarantee that they would bring out thousands of soldiers and horses, and how many people would actually be able to follow them to the battlefield, and a large number of soldiers would slip away along the way.

The general defending the city indifferently watched the chaos below, and watched the imperial army chase and kill his own people.

King Ning, who was resting in the imperial city, had just fallen asleep under the service of Xinna's concubine, when suddenly a rush of footsteps came.

Wan Rui's voice was heard in the empty dormitory: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!" ”

In a daze, King Ning couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the emergency military situation, and suddenly sat up, the thin quilt slipped down, and a beautiful woman's naked figure screamed in surprise and subconsciously screamed, hugging his chest and shrinking.

King Ning turned over and put on his middle coat, lifted the curtain and got off the dragon bed, looked at Wan Rui and said in a deep voice: "Wan Rui, what is the military situation?" Could it be that the general destroyed Chu Yi? ”

Wan Rui coughed lightly and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the general guarding the city just sent someone to report that there was a scuffle outside the city, it seems that the imperial army attacked the general's military camp at night, and now there is a scuffle, and the victory or defeat is unknown!" ”

King Ning frowned, and snorted coldly: "What a Chu Yi, he only has 20,000 people, even if he dares to be so rampant, I don't believe that he can defeat my army of 50,000!" ”

While speaking, King Ning said to Wan Rui: "Send an order to send someone to investigate the movements of the two armies outside the city, and I want to know the results of the battle as soon as possible!" ”

Wan Rui nodded, saluted King Ning, and left the palace to pass the order.

The rebel camp outside the city can be said to be chaotic, especially when the imperial army enters the camp, which accelerates the collapse of these rebels.

As the shouts of surrender and non-killing sounded, the rebels who were originally running around like headless flies were like drowning people grabbing life-saving straws, and honestly knelt on the ground and dropped the weapons in their hands.

In the middle of the night, Sun Qiu, Xu Tianzuo and other generals were leading their men and horses to collect the surrendered soldiers, and the rebels who were really killed were only a few thousand, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers who escaped in the night, and as for the surrendered troops that were finally collected there were more than 30,000 people.

When the first rays of sunlight fell on the horizon, the place where the rebel camp was originally located was in ruins, so after a night of chaos and fire, there was no way to see the appearance of a large camp.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were driven into a large camp that was built overnight, this is tens of thousands of surrendered troops, even Chu Yi didn't dare to shout lightly. even personally sent 3,000 men and horses to guard it, otherwise, once tens of thousands of troops were in turmoil, it would be a big trouble.

Before the army entered the Qilin Gate of Nanjing City, although it was still some distance from the city wall of Nanjing City, standing on the city wall at this time, you could see the lineup of the imperial army.

After a night of fighting, these were strictly selected by themselves, and after a year or two of training, they were a little more elite after seeing blood this time.

Although it is still not considered elite, it is much stronger than the rebels of King Ning, which is the millions of guards of the Ming Dynasty.

The generals who were ordered to investigate the results of the battle outside the city showed horror one by one when they saw the scene outside the city.

That's an army of 50,000, led by the general himself, out of the city to meet the imperial army.

They even remembered the scene when the army left the city, a full army of 50,000, and the darkness was overwhelming.

But it's only been a day, it's like a dream, and in the blink of an eye, the 50,000 army has been defeated.

Even 50,000 pigs would have to be slaughtered overnight, but now they only saw tens of thousands of troops honestly imprisoned in a large camp.

In a palace, only a bang was heard, and a delicate teacup was slammed to the ground by King Ning, and the flying fragments crossed the face of a general kneeling on the ground, and a touch of blood suddenly oozed out.

"Bastard, what a waste, how can I believe Li Zhen's waste, 50,000 troops, 50,000 troops, he is good, he lost to me overnight, I want to kill him......"

A general kneeling on the ground whispered: "Your Majesty, the general, the general's head is hanging on the flagpole outside the city......"
