The two armies fought fiercely for nearly two hours, from the fourth watch to the beginning of the fifth watch, that is, at more than three o'clock in the morning.

The final result was the defeat of Ma Shixiu's troops, and Zuo Liangyu only won a miserable victory, and more than 1,000 people were left of the original 3,000 people who were fully armed.

And the troops under Ma Shixiu's command, because the will to survive was too strong, and when there were more than 300 people left in the end, they actually fought their way out of the encirclement.

Ma Shixiu looked at the few remaining troops, and only felt that his heart was bleeding.

These are all his descendants, and at this time, the battle is over, and even if he can survive, it will be difficult to turn over.

And since Zuo Liangyu had premeditated this matter, this shows that he has also arranged it in the camp, and if he returns to the camp, it will definitely be a dead end, so he can't bring out the soldiers in the camp.

This also means that the family he has been running for so many years is left with more than 300 people in front of him.

"Zuo Liangyu, this revenge will not be avenged, and he will not be a man!

！ ”

Ma Shixiu roared angrily, and after putting down a cruel word, he didn't dare to stay for a long time, and fled directly with the army outside Wuchang Mansion.

Zuo Liangyu didn't mean to let him go at all, he was still chasing behind, if he couldn't get rid of Zuo Liangyu, then he would have no chance of revenge in the future.

However, when they fled to the main street of Wushengmen, Ma Shixiu's army suddenly stopped.

For in front of them there was an army heavily armed in their way.

There are about 2,000 people in this army, all of them are in armor, looking at their neat appearance and equipment, not to mention the local defenders, even Zuo Liangyu's most elite old battalion soldiers are not comparable to them.

At this time, the army seemed to have anticipated their arrival, and everyone in the front row raised their guns and aimed at them.

After they stopped, the opposing army pulled the trigger without hesitation.

If you want to shoot, you need to ignite the arquebus first, then ignite the gunpowder by the fiery, and finally the firing can be launched.

But in Ma Shixiu's eyes, this mysterious army did not light the fire rope at all, and the fire bolt rang out directly.

After the first row was finished, the back row was replaced, and the three-stage shooting invented by Mu Ying at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was vividly displayed in this mysterious army at this moment.

Looking at the fallen soldiers beside him, Ma Shixiu knew that he would not even have a chance to surrender, so he pushed away the soldiers who were blocking in front of him, and then took a step forward.

"Peng~Peng~Peng......"

In the launch of another firebolt, Ma Shixiu, who was standing in the front row, was undoubtedly punched several holes in his body by the projectile.

Then he turned around, looked at Zuo Liangyu, who was late, used all his strength, and roared angrily: "Zuo Liangyu, Lao Tzu will not let you go if he is a ghost!"

！ ”

Zuo Liangyu, who had been following closely behind, had already realized that something was wrong when he heard the gun.

When he finally caught up with his people, Ma Shixiu, who happened to see him shot and fall to the ground, let out a final roar at him.

Looking at the remnants who fell like mowing grass, and then at the Jinyi guards who were waiting for the whole army in front, Zuo Liangyu's heart was cold.

Now, how could he not understand that he was calculated by Jinyiwei, and he was calculated.

Seeing that Ma Shixiu's troops were killed and wounded, Zuo Liangyu knew that all his plans had failed.

This time, not only did he not get anything, but he even lost more than 4,000 elite soldiers for no reason.

Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu clenched his fists tightly, looked at the Jinyi guards headed by Pei Lun, and wanted to directly bring people up to fight with them.

But Zuo Liangyu, who is still sane, knows that if he does it at this time, it will not be Ma Shixiu who will die today, and even he himself will have to get in.

And Pei Lun on the other side, after Ma Shixiu's people were all killed, he did not choose to let the soldiers put away their weapons, but looked at Zuo Liangyu coldly, waiting for his choice.

This time, Zuo Liangyu will either give in honestly and be a general for Daming in the future, or simply die here.

He had already killed Ma Shixiu, and he didn't mind killing another Zuo Liangyu.

After Ma Shixiu's army fell, there was no buffer between Zuo Liangyu's army and Jinyiwei, and the two sides looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little solemn for a while.

After a long while, Zuo Liangyu suppressed his unwillingness, and then asked his soldiers to put away their weapons, and then walked slowly towards Pei Lun alone.

"Zuo Liangyu, I've seen Pei Qianhu."

This time, Zuo Liangyu's posture was very low, and he even took the initiative to salute Pei Lun.

"General Zuo is polite."

In the face of Zuo Liangyu's low posture, Pei Lun did not pretend, he just replied with a salute, and then said: "Ma Shixiu has been ambushed, and I ask General Zuo to lead the troops back to the camp." ”

"Back to camp?"

Looking at Pei Lun's cold expression, Zuo Liangyu did not attack, but asked: "If I go back to the camp, then the king of Chu ......"

"The palace of the king of Chu has suddenly changed, and General Zuo is going to lead the troops, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Pei Lun said in a calm tone: "The matter of the Chu Palace, the rest will be handed over to our Jinyi Guard, and I ask General Zuo to return to the camp for the time being, how about waiting for the news?" ”

How, what can Zuo Liangyu do? What Pei Lun gave him was not a multiple-choice question at all.

If he didn't return to the camp, the little force he had left would have to be wiped out here on the spot.

"I see."

Zuo Liangyu took a deep breath, knowing that this time he was completely planted, "General Ben is here for food and salary this time, and I hope Pei Qianhu can keep his promise." ”

After finishing speaking, Zuo Liangyu didn't stay anymore, and went back directly to his station in Wuchang Mansion with his army and wounded.

And Pei Lun did not relax in the slightest, but followed behind with the army not far away, and waited until Zuo Liangyu entered the camp before he was a little relieved.

Because near Zuo Liangyu's garrison, there are heavy weapons such as Franc cannons, even if Zuo Liangyu regrets it, he has no chance.

……

In the palace of the king of Chu.

Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, who had been hiding and did not show up, received a notice after the battle completely subsided, and then he cautiously walked out of the palace.

"This king's rockery, this is the landscape that this king spent 600,000 taels to build!

！ ”

Zhu Huakui, who came out, did not rush to the city wall for the first time, but first took a look at the rockery landscape that he had built with a lot of money.

This rockery was built by Zhu Huakui with a huge amount of money, and he collected strange stones from all over the world, covering a huge area, and it is not much worse than a real hill.

The scale of this rockery can't even be compared to the palace, and it is what he is most proud of on weekdays.

As a result, now because of the war, it was ordered by Zhang Yong to be demolished all over the ground, and it looks like a dog gnawing on it, not only does it not have the slightest beauty, but it looks a little unsightly.

And not only that, when informing Zhu Huakui that the war was over, those subordinates also told him about the war by the way.

Among them, in addition to this rockery, there is also Zhang Yong's promise to reward soldiers with silver for killing the enemy, as well as 50 taels of settlement expenses per person.

What kind of character is the king of Chu, life can be without, and money can't touch him.

Otherwise, when faced with borrowing, he would not be without a dime.

The guards of the entire Chu Palace, to say the least, must have thousands of people, except for those who escaped, there must be a small half of those killed in battle.

If it is counted as 500 people, 50 taels per person, that is 25,000 taels of pension, plus the bounty for their killing, then he will get almost 40,000 taels of silver.

These tens of thousands of taels, plus the destroyed rockeries, and the houses that were demolished by thieves.

Thinking that he had such a big loss today, Zhu Huakui was a little heartbroken and couldn't breathe, "Call me Zhang Yong's dog thing!"

！ ”

Zhang Yong, who was covered in blood, was exhausted at this time because he was the commander and the strongest combat force tonight, but when he heard Zhu Huakui's call, he still had to get up with difficulty and walk towards the city wall.

Ding Xiu, who had completely controlled the entire city wall, saw Zhang Yong, who was moving towards the city wall step by step, and probably knew what would happen next, so he couldn't help but sneer, and then made a gesture to his subordinates, and directly led more than a dozen people to follow Zhang Yong and rushed over.

"Zhang Yong has seen the prince."

Because of the long roar, Zhang Yong's voice was completely dumb, and he endured the pain in his throat like fire, and said: "I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission and successfully repelled the thief army. ”

"Stay away."

Looking at Zhang Yong, who was covered in blood, Zhu Huakui subconsciously took two steps back, a little worried that Zhang Yong would get blood stains on his clothes.

Seeing Zhu Huakui's reaction, Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, there was a hint of humiliation in his eyes.

But he didn't say anything, but silently lowered his head, stood up strongly, and took two steps back.

After Zhang Yong stood still, Zhu Huakui spoke: "Who asked you to demolish Zhongshan Jing in the mansion?" ”

"Don't you know that it took Benwang hundreds of thousands of taels to build? Say that it will be demolished, you are so bold! ”

Zhang Yong didn't expect Zhu Huakui to call him over at this time to actually talk about this matter, but looking at the angry Zhu Huakui, he had to quickly explain: "The prince forgives the sin, at that time, the thief army was fierce, and there was no way to do it, so I had to use the rockery to repel the enemy army first, and I hope that the prince will forgive the sin!" ”

"Forgiveness, how can I forgive my sins!"

After listening to Zhang Yong's explanation, Zhu Huakui's anger showed no signs of abating, "If there is no stone, you will demolish the mountain scenery of this king, so if no one fights, do you want to catch this king and go to the battlefield!" ”

"Also, who gave you the power to promise them a bounty?"

"The reward for killing an enemy is ten taels, and the pension is fifty taels, you are so generous!"

"If you do what you say, this king will give you forty or fifty thousand taels of silver just for these stinky hills, where will this king get you so much money."

"This king tells you that you promised this thing, and then you will pay for the money, and this king will not recognize this money."

"This king gives you money on weekdays, just to let you protect the palace at this time, how can there be any reason to give money!"

Zhang Yong never expected that after the guards in the palace fought bloodily to repel the thief army, Zhu Huakui's first concern was not the casualties of the guards, but his losses.

And what's more, so many people died tonight to guard the palace, and he didn't even want to pay the pension.

Looking at Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu who turned his face and didn't recognize people, Zhang Yong suddenly felt extremely sad and angry in his heart.
