Cheng Dingyuan couldn't believe it anyway, the senior brother who was so upright half an hour ago died here like this.

From seeing the blood-soaked senior brother fall beside him, Cheng Dingyuan's mind was left with the last words of the senior brother before he died, which kept echoing in his mind.

"I can't go back, you go ahead and tell Master that I didn't disgrace him, Datang...... Wansheng! ”

Compared with the senior brothers, Cheng Dingyuan is much younger.

His life story is both bumpy and simple.

Because of this, he was adopted by the master who traveled down the mountain, and became a closed disciple.

It's just that their master is free and easy by nature, and he only attaches importance to the heart of the disciples around him, and the others are all laissez-faire, in a sense, this fellow junior disciple grew up with Xiao Junpeng and Wang Wei.

Since he grew up with these guys who nominally practice alchemy, but actually practice gunpowder, he naturally learned a good alchemy technique.

It's just that when Xiao Junpeng and others were invited to go down the mountain, Cheng Dingyuan's age was too young, so he was left in Zhongnan Mountain by this group of crazy gunpowder experts.

However, what Xiao Junpeng and his ilk didn't expect was that after the senior brothers went down the mountain, this little guy inherited the tradition of his uncle Qingxuzi and his senior brother Xiao Junpeng......

Then this guy was sent to Chang'an, and then he detoured directly from Chang'an to here......

It was not easy to keep up with his senior brother, and he had just begun to belong to everything that belonged to the Changying Army, but this time, it was not easy for his senior brother to bring him to take a long view......

Cheng Dingyuan didn't know how he left the battlefield, and he didn't know how he walked back to the camp of the Changying Army, and when he saw his other brothers, Cheng Dingyuan was even more like a frightened child, tears poured out without money, but he couldn't say half a word in his mouth.

However, everyone had already seen everything from the corpse he was holding onto, and the other soldiers of the Changying Army didn't know Cheng Dingyuan, but these people did.

Cheng Dingyuan's other senior brother walked up to him, patted Cheng Dingyuan's shoulder gently, and kept saying something in his ear.

I don't know how long it took, Cheng Dingyuan finally came back to his senses from his state of trance and confusion, and gradually heard the words of another Senior Brother Ma.

“…… Senior Brother Wang was stabbed in the chest, which means that Senior Brother Wang was killed in the face of the enemy...... Senior Brother Wang is good, and he didn't embarrass Zhongnanshan! ”

"Did Senior Brother Wang say anything in the end?"

"Senior Brother Wang finally said, 'I can't go back, you go ahead and tell Master that I didn't disgrace him, Datang...... Wansheng! ’”

The person who stepped forward nodded, did not say anything more, but removed a black nameplate from the neck of Senior Brother Wang, who had already died in battle.

Originally, I was going to put away the nameplate, but at the moment before I was ready to put it in the backpack, the last words of Senior Brother Wang flashed in my mind, the scene where Senior Brother Wang led the brothers down the mountain without hesitation, and the pride of Senior Brother Wang when he sang the military song of the Changying Army.

Different from other ordinary soldiers with simple goals, as well as those down-and-out nobles with less simple goals, these Taoist priests who followed the troubled times and went down the mountain were actually the simplest and most idealistic people in the entire Changying Army.

The little junior brother's performance today was indeed not good, but he knew that it was because he was too doting on the little junior brother including himself, including Senior Brother Wang, including the master.

However, he believes that in time, the little junior brothers around him can also take over the mantle of the previous generations of senior brothers, uncles, and ancestors.

So, at this moment, he handed the black name tag to Cheng Dingyuan.

"Take it, this is the most precious thing for senior brother, bring it with you, take over the mantle of senior brother!"

took the things blankly, but at this time, Cheng Dingyuan did not carry out the routine training of the Changying Army at all, and he was not a member of the Changying Army, and it was impossible to know what the hell the nameplate was.

However, after hearing the most precious thing in the senior brother, Cheng Dingyuan subconsciously took the nameplate and subconsciously saw the content on it.

Wang Wei, Changyingjun, engineer, captain......

Longyou Road, Shazhou, Dunhuang County, Dunhuang County......

Cheng Dingyuan found that for the first time he knew that the senior brother at home was actually from Longyou, and it was the Hexi Corridor in Longyou Road that had been occupied by the Tubo people for decades.

I really don't know how the senior brother traveled all the way from a place like Shazhou, and finally came to the Central Plains and came to Zhongnan Mountain in Guanzhong......

Before Cheng Dingyuan could figure it out, he suddenly heard a high-pitched singing voice coming into his ears.

"You don't see, the end of the Han army, the weak crown is a captive, please Changying,

You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds!

……”

Looking up, it was Senior Brother Ma who began to sing loudly.

Cheng Dingyuan knew this song, before leaving Zhongnan Mountain, the senior brother often hummed, that day, Senior Brother Xiao, Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Ma led a group of senior brothers to leave Zhongnan Mountain and go down the mountain to join the army, they sang this song and left the mountain gate.

And now, starting from Senior Brother Ma, the surrounding singing quickly sounded, and soon more and more singing voices merged into it, making this sound carry an indescribable excitement and excitement.

“…… The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life? ……”

Gradually, Cheng Dingyuan was also infected by this passion, and sang along with the soldiers of the Changying Army.

“……

The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting!

Abandon my old pen, and hold my wartime time,

More than 100,000 comrades sang war songs and joined the army.

Clean the dust, swear to sweep away the Hulu without regard for yourself!

……”

In the high-pitched singing, Cheng Dingyuan, who was rapidly maturing, also returned to the prosperous camp.

Before the counterattack began, their work had actually been completed, and at this time they could directly evacuate from the Xingsheng camp according to Guo Rong's orders.

It's just that after returning to the camp, Cheng Dingyuan stood quietly in the middle of the camp, carefully looking at the various facilities in the camp and the veins and lines of the black powder planted before.

"Senior Brother Ma, I have an idea......

"You want to?"

"I want all the rebels who entered the camp to be buried with Senior Brother Wang!"

“？”

“？”

“？”

"We don't have enough!"

At this moment, Cheng Dingyuan, who had a childish face a quarter of an hour ago, put on a cruel smile.

"Senior brother, you know the reason why I was kicked off the mountain by my master."

"I heard who said that you seem to have blown up the Sanqing Palace?"

"Not only Sanqing, but the Jade Emperor Hall was also blown up!"

"......, you're about to catch up with Uncle Qingxuzi...... no, you're better than Uncle Qingxuzi, Uncle Qingxuzi is at most the Sanqing Palace, you ......"

"Brother, don't you want to know how I did it?"

"It stands to reason that the master will send someone to guard it strictly, so how did you do it?"

"When I was refining the pill, I secretly researched a new thing, and the effect is at least ten times stronger than your black powder!"

As he spoke, Cheng Dingyuan, with a confident and cold look, took out a small glass bottle from his arms, which was filled with a yellow viscous liquid.

"What is this?"

"Two small bottles directly blew up the Sanqing Hall into ruins! And brother, I tried this thing mixed with black powder. ”

"How's it going?"

"More than twice as effective."

"I rub it, how can you bring such a good thing?"

"Senior brother, this thing is powerful and easy to explode, I still have six bottles over there in Zhuzhai!"

"What do you need me to do?"

"Help me resist, I'll go back and get something!"

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Although Pei Mingren did not participate in the attack himself, he carefully observed the entire process of the attack.

To tell the truth, sending troops to attack early in the morning was his temporary idea.

After all, the sky was not yet completely bright, and his side was not fully prepared, and he believed that the preparation of the forbidden army on the opposite side was not sufficient.

So, he decided to give it a try.

If it works, it succeeds!

If he fails, it will be a great loss of more than 1,000 people, anyway, he has people on hand, and more than 1,000 people will not break his muscles and bones.

Of course, more importantly, I believe that even if these more than 1,000 people are wiped out, there will be unexpected situations and information.

Facts have proved that Pei Mingren's idea was right, but not completely, and he achieved part of the goal, but he did not fully achieve it.

Although the other party's reaction was very fast, Pei Mingren could still see that the sneak attack he decided to make on the other hand was actually out of the other party's expectations.

It's just that the other party's strict and powerful emergency response system made Pei Mingren feel deeply powerless, because it was not the first time he had tried to sneak attack.

No matter what time, no matter what weather, no matter what scene, your sneak attack has never been successful.

It is precisely because of this that the "Enemy Attack" became the first Changying Army horn to be familiar to the rebels.

In fact, when he heard the trumpet of the enemy's attack, Pei Mingren knew that there was a high probability that he would send a sneak attack force.

It's just that Pei Mingren never dreamed that from the beginning of his attack, the forbidden army, which had never attacked to the death, not only opened the camp gate for the first time, but also launched a counter-charge.

Although Pei Mingren was not among the rebels who were attacking, he could definitely imagine the psychological reaction of the Hebei army that was ordered to attack.

After continuous psychological fluctuations, a fierce counter-charge, Pei Mingren could already foresee that this part of the population was probably finished.

In fact, as Pei Mingren expected, resisting the courage of the first wave of blood, the foot soldiers of the forbidden army have begun to outflank from both wings.

In less than half an hour, nearly 1,800 people attacked, except for about 200 people who fell behind or were killed by the battle team, more than 1,600 Hebei troops were slaughtered on the field.

It's just that Pei Mingren really doesn't think that the loss of more than 1,000 people is meaningless, because he sees that in addition to the first wave of soldiers, the follow-up looks like all kinds of miscellaneous cards.

Dare to counter-charge, which shows that the other party has courage!

However, there are miscellaneous cards in the charge, and it can be seen that the opponent does not have any backup strength.

Pei Mingren disdained the last singing, feelings are deceiving, and power and interests are the driving force that can pull the engine.

Compared with Yin Shi in the early morning, he was much calmer and calmer, although the order for the mobilization of the whole army was not withdrawn, but the extra time was arranged to eat, rest, and recover......

That's right, Pei Mingren is ready to go all out!

As for whether the forbidden army will send troops to reinforce from behind, Pei Mingren is actually not too worried, after all, today is not only one way to send troops, but three directions in the south, north, and center at the same time.

】

In normal times, Wei Bo, Cheng De, and Lu Long must be intrigued, but at this moment of crisis, Pei Mingren believes that Zhang Shaozhang and Zhong Xianjun know what the big and small kings are, and they also understand what they should do at what time.

As long as Zhang Shaozhang and Zhong Xianjun advance from both flanks in accordance with the agreed forbidden army, while forming an encirclement posture, they will definitely further pull, disperse, and dilute the forbidden army.

At that time, it is strange that the forbidden army will have reinforcements to support.

With Pei Mingren's order, the Hebei rebels began to follow their schedule.

On the opposite side of them, after a counter-charge, the Changying army returning to camp also began to rest.

Of course, except for the gang of cooks, who have big shoulders and round waists, and are taking off their heavy armor while continuing to cook, they are scolding the frying pan!

The fritters are about to be fried into baguettes!

The meatball soup is almost dry!

The buns in the cage drawer are all collapsed!

In this way, both sides continued to concentrate their efforts until the sun jumped out of the sky and gradually came out of the horizon.

"Long! Prosperous! Prosperous! ”

The sound of war drums sounded, and the bloody and cruel day finally kicked off completely!

Pei Mingren, Zhang Shaozhang, and Zhong Xianjun issued orders almost at the same time, opened the three camp gates, and hundreds of thousands of Hebei rebels began to march outward in great strides, and the scope of the attack included the entire defense line with Xinglong as the center and extending to the north and south.

The rebels made a big move, defending the Changying Army on the central axis, and the Xuanwu-Huaixi Army defending the extension line on both sides entered a state of imminent battle.

And Guo Rong sat in the camp of Daicun between Zhuzhai and Xingsheng and began to control the battle situation remotely.

The time soon entered the middle of the hour, and the strength of the Hebei rebels began to attack the Xingsheng battalion.

The stone projectiles of the catapults, the crossbows of the eight oxen, the bows, the crossbows, and the stones began to fly in the air, taking with them from time to time the remains of one or a string of rebels.

At the same moment, seven or eight small camps of 1,000 people, including those on the same front, were attacked at the same time.

At five o'clock, Cheng Dingyuan returned to the Xingsheng camp with his treasured items, and then, with the assistance of his senior brother, he refilled all the black powder that had been buried.

At this moment, the battle entered the most anxious moment, and in order to buy them time, all the cooks put on armor and went into battle.

At six o'clock, all the crossbows of the Eight Ox Crossbows were exhausted, and the soldiers poured tung oil on the Eight Ox Crossbows and then went into battle with their knives.

At seven o'clock, Cheng Dingyuan and others completed the readjustment of all explosives and began to evacuate.

At three moments, after paying the price of more than 3,000 people, the rebels began to break into the Xingsheng camp, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and Pei Mingren continued to increase his troops.

At five o'clock, the Changying army in the Xingsheng camp was less than 300 people.

At six o'clock, Zhang Xu, the captain of the Changying Army's infantry army, lit the eight-ox crossbow sprinkled with tung oil around him with a smile, and the flames began to extend from here to all directions.

Dozens of breaths later, accompanied by huge fires, bursts of "Boom!" The sound resounded throughout the sky!
