Back to the main battlefield.

The next day, in the afternoon.

One after another, the unfortunate news reached Zuo Guangxian.

"Niu Chenghu has surrendered a long time ago"

"The county seat of Fenxi has been occupied by thieves"

Of course, the biggest unfortunate news is that because he didn't carry food and grass, the whole army has fallen into extreme hunger, and he can naturally kill the war horse, but this is only the second day, if he starts killing the horse so early, it will be a great blow to morale.

At present, they are on the main post road from Fenxi County to Huozhou, that is, the north bank of the Jianhe River, Zuo Guang first tried to wade across the Jianhe, but unfortunately, this section of the Jianhe River is at least one meter deep, not to mention that there are thieves guarding the opposite side.

On the other side of the road is a cliff, a small number of infantry soldiers can use the tiger claw flying rope to climb up, Zuo Guangxian also did this, he can't care about this much, he can only ask Zhou Yuji for help, although he also knows that Zhou Yuji's subordinates only have five hundred regiments, which is completely useless, but he still holds out hope, at least Zhou Yuji can send a batch of grain and grass.

Of course, this morning, Zuo Guangxian let his troops launch a frantic attack on the low wall, but they all returned under the stabbing of the tiger squatting cannon, fire gun, earth-shaking thunder, and spear of the forest in the small strong battalion!

They had not eaten for a day and a night, but fortunately the horses still had grass to eat on the side of the road, otherwise, if the enemy attacked now, they would have to surrender on their knees!

Afraid of something, in the evening, when Zuo Guangxian did not wait for Zhou Yuji's reinforcements and made up his mind to kill the horse to satisfy his hunger, Long Thirteen began to attack!

He had already gotten the status quo of Zuo Guang's precursor from the captive's mouth.

With three rows of pikemen in front and five rows of musketeers behind, when approaching the enemy, the pikemen in front of them will bow down, and the musketeers behind will shoot, at this time it is not possible to carry out a three-stage attack, but the musketeers in the back will hand their guns to the hands of the musketeers in front.

At this time, although the officers and soldiers on the opposite side also had firecrackers in their hands, they could not even hold the firecrackers steadily after a day and a night of starvation, let alone shooting, so they threw away the firecrackers one by one and surrendered.

At this time, for Zuo Guangxian, the best way was to use the war horse and still have some strength to quickly let the Jiading team break through the three rows of pikemen.

It's a pity that although the war horse still has strength, it is obvious that the cavalry is gone, and the war horse fell to the ground one after another after being shot by the firecracker, which also hindered the speed of the cavalry behind the impact, and in the end, Zuo Guangxian's move also failed.

The Xiaoqiang battalion did not stop, and continued to attack and advance on the corpse of the war horse.

In the end, almost all of Zuo Guangxian's firecrackers surrendered, leaving less than three hundred family members!

......

Huozhou City.

Zhou Yuji received a message from Zuo Guangxian.

As soon as he received this unfortunate news, Zhou Yuji was also stunned, in his mind, Niu Chenghu was a fierce general, Zuo Guangxian was wise and brave, how could he be a thief!

In the past, he was defeated by Long Thirteen under Yongning Prefecture City because his troops were too few, but now Niu Chenghu and Zuo Guangxian's troops add up to nearly three thousand!

The elite of the three thousand Ming army, unexpectedly......

Zhou Yuji couldn't believe his ears.

But he had to save again.

But he only has 500 regiments under him, let alone rescue, whether he can get close to the Jianhe River is a problem.

At this time, Wu Guojun appeared, "General, the matter is urgent, if General Zuo also falls into the hands of thieves, this Huozhou City will definitely not be able to be saved, in this way, I will personally dispatch a hundred cavalry, and you will bring all the regimental training......"

Zhou Yuji's heart froze, "What do you mean ......?"

"Yes, since the thieves have ravines and baiters, why don't we follow suit, if we encounter an intercepted thief army, let the regiment train the soldiers to go up to meet the battle, and then my cavalry will each carry ten days of dry food, as long as I can pick up the family of the left staff general, it will be a great achievement!"

Zhou Yuji's expression was gloomy, although he knew that what Wu Guojun said was reasonable, but after all, the training of the five hundred regiments was personally trained by him, how could it be abandoned once it was abandoned?

But if Zuo Guangxian and Niu Chenghu were all folded in the Jianhe, he would not be able to do this garrison.

"What about Huozhou City?"

Wu Guojun said solemnly: "I still have a hundred horsemen, you wait to go, I will immediately let Zhizhou send Qingzhuang to the city to garrison, since the thieves can block General Niu and General Zuo at the same time, they are obviously also pouring out, there is no half point that may still have the strength to attack Huozhou, rest assured, foolproof"

"That's it!"

Zhou Yuji finally made up his mind, he knew that the key to successfully rescuing Zuo Guangxian was Wu Guojun's 100 horses, so he said: "In this case, I will take this 100 horses away, and the Huozhou city defense will be handed over to Brother Wu."

"Don't worry!"

Wu Guojun grabbed Zhou Yuji's hand tightly with a solemn expression.

Zhou Yuji left, taking away all the regimental training soldiers and the 100 cavalry of Wu Guojun, the cavalry commander under Yulin General Li Bei, he saw that most of these 100 cavalry were young, but they were all fierce, and they were in good shape, obviously strictly trained.

I couldn't help but settle down a little.

......

On the main battlefield, the attack of the Dragon Thirteen Army still did not stop, and soon hit the vicinity of Zuo Guangxian's Ding team!

Zuo Guangxian's expression was gloomy.

He gathered the rest of the family together.

"Brothers, you and the others are all strong in martial arts, and the road in front of them is extremely narrow, they can't come too many people at one time, fight again, Zhou Yuji will be almost there!"

"Closing ......"

Bai Wenxuan shouted, and the first three rows of pikemen put the spears in their hands back, and then rushed forward at a trot!

At this time, the Xiaoqiang battalion had already completed the encirclement of the Zuo Guangjia Ding team from the east and west!

In normal times, the pikemen's attack was obviously not as smooth as it was now, but who told them to meet the house team that had been a day and a night?

"Kill ....."

After a loud drink, a mist of blood appeared in front of the spear......

No matter how clever a martial artist is, once he is hungry and has no strength, even ordinary people can't compare, and this is the situation now, the pikemen collect their guns, stab quickly, and do it in one go, and they don't stop under their feet, constantly bringing up a large cloud of blood mist......

Zuo Guangxian was a little desperate.

At this moment, there was a commotion behind him, and a man was seen climbing down the mountain.

"General!"

Zuo Guang grabbed him first, "Is Zhou Yuji here?" ”

The man nodded, his face full of joy.

"Zhou Shoubei has arrived!"

......

Zhou Yuji has indeed arrived.

But in front of them are the pikemen and musketeers of the Xiaoqiang battalion!

Zhou Yuji said to Wu Guojun's cavalry generals, "General, if you want to smoothly respond to the left general, you must defeat the enemy in front of you."

The man nodded and patted his chest, "Don't worry, look at it."

Saying that, all the horses galloped forward!

However, all this was very short-lived, and just when Zhou Yuji was full of hope, the cavalry suddenly came back!

"Put the total ......"

Before the words fell, the cavalry suddenly shot a burst of arrows, and then rode their horses directly into the regimental training soldiers who were sitting on the ground due to the hurry!

This cavalry is obviously not Li Bei's men!

But it was too late, and the galloping war horse knocked down everyone, including Zhou Yuji, and then rushed past those regimental training soldiers!

At the same time, the pikemen's attack on Zuo Guangxian did not stop.

In less than an hour, Bai Wenxuan killed Zuo Guangxian!

At this time, Zuo Guangxian couldn't help but regret it for a while.

"If you kill ten war horses in the morning, you can let most of the family survive, it's a pity, it's a pity"

At this time, Zuo Jiu was also frightened, he shook Zuo Guangxian's arm and said: "Father, the general trend has gone, let's wait for surrender, not long ago, the cavalry of Zhang Zhensun and Po Ximu, who were captured by them, released the chief Shi Dewei by them!" ”

Zuo Guang let out a long sigh first, and finally threw the long knife in his hand on the ground.

At night.

Zuo Guangxian, Niu Chenghu, and Zhou Yuji were all escorted in front of Long Thirteen.

Long Thirteen himself was also emotional.

"I didn't expect to capture three local generals in the first battle, these three are all famous generals."

He saw that Zuo Guangxian's eyes were full of doubts, so he smiled and said, "You must have a lot of questions, ask, you know everything in the next place."

Zuo Guangxian nodded, "You're from the official army, aren't you?" ”

Long Thirteen was amused in his heart, but he nodded, "Yes, I am Yulin Town and I don't accept it at night."

Zuo Guangxian and the others had a feeling of "so it is", Zhou Yuji said: "It is estimated that you not only do not collect at night, but also have a strong heart"

It turned out that in the Ming army at this time, there was a kind of night not collected, usually as the general's personal companion, and in wartime, he took the night to reconnoitre, although the identity was low, but in the eyes of the generals, it should not be underestimated.

In the eyes of Zuo Guangxian, Niu Chenghu, Zhou Yuji and others, only this kind of night that has been trained by the general's side and has a body of martial arts can be so powerful.

"Why do you have the identity documents of General Li Bei's subordinates, as well as the signature of Governor Zhang?"

Zhou Yuji sighed: "This doesn't need to be asked, they captured Zhang Zhensun before, and what that guy has in his hand are letters and documents exchanged with Governor Zhang."

Zuo Guangxian was gloomy for a while, "So Huozhou City is already in your hands?" ”

Long 13 said: "Yes, at present, there are only one hundred horsemen in the regular army of Huozhou City."

A day later, Long 13 returned to Huozhou City with a large group of men.

That night, Long Xiaoshi came in with a smile.

"How?"

Sitting in the study of Zhizhou Yamen, although Long 13 had long known that he would gain a lot of money, he had expectations after all.

"Big boss, in the past few days of fighting, our troops defeated Niu Chenghu, Zuo Guangxian, and Zhou Yuji, killing and wounding more than 1,000 enemy soldiers, Niu Chenghu surrendered on the spot, and killed hundreds of Zuoguang Xianmen who came to the rescue, and our army suffered minor casualties."

"More than 1,000 fine-quality firecrackers were captured, as well as more than 700 firecrackers, half of which came from the Shenji Battalion and half from northern Shaanxi."

"Nearly 500 intact war horses were captured, which is not counting ......"

"Oh?"

"Big boss, this Zuo Guang is a rare figure in the Ming army who is proficient in firearms, in Huozhou City, we also found a large number of gunpowder and spare firearms, as well as twelve tiger squat cannons"

"Huozhou City is the lair of Huang Yunfa, a merchant of the Great Jin Dynasty, and a large amount of money and grain has been seized"

"There are at least 5,000 households in the city, and 50,000 or 60,000 in Dingkou, of which poor households account for the majority."

Long Thirteen listened in a daze, and only after a while did he say, "Let's deal with it according to the old way."

The simulator box now appears.

"Dragon Thirteen, you have completed the 'mission of conquering Huozhou City', in this mission, your wisdom is worth a significant increase, reaching 82"
