Early the next morning, Zuo Liangyu directly withdrew half of the soldiers and horses blocking the east and west roads, claiming that the soldiers under his command were short of food and hungry, so they could only take turns to return to the camp to rest.

Yang Sichang was a little annoyed when he heard this, but the big war was imminent, so he had to take out some money and food first to make up for this month's military salary and military rations.

Zuo Liangyu laughed when he heard this, and ordered the department to re-block the east and west roads, and then took more than 200 people to the Chinese army camp to prepare for the transfer of money and grain.

Liu Yan received the order to distribute grain, and also brought more than 60 soldiers from a banner of Miao Shao's personal guard battalion over, driving several carts to prepare to transport money and grain.

At this time, the Chinese army camp was full of people, and the officials handed out money and food, and the officers and men of the Ming army in various departments were naturally overjoyed.

But soon something happened, and the soldiers of He Renlong's department were in the front, and the amount of money and food they received was not enough at all, so they all made a noise.

The soldiers of the other Ming troops also joined in and made a fuss together.

Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu directly squeezed to the front angrily, and more than two hundred heavily armed family members also pushed away the Ming soldiers in front, and all of them rushed to the front.

I saw a guard in charge of distributing money and food with a smile on his face, clenched his fists and said, "I've seen the general of the thief." ”

"What's the situation!"

Zuo Liangyu asked, and at the same time snatched the account, only glanced at it, and then roared loudly: "What! There are more than 40,000 soldiers under my subordinates, and the money and food they have received are almost the same as the more than 20,000 people in Liu Yan's department, what are you doing on an errand, I don't want to live anymore! ”

Liu Yan and Miao Shao and other soldiers did not step forward to join in the fun, but when they heard Zuo Liangyu's roar, they were also taken aback: "It seems that Yang Sichang has made up his mind to win himself over, and he really takes care of himself in terms of money and food." ”

The garrison had a bitter face and said: "The general of the thief is wrong to blame the general, how to distribute the money and food, how can the general be the master, these are all orders from the superintendent." ”

"Humph!"

Zuo Liangyu pushed away the guard and said, "Less nonsense!" The 40,000 soldiers in Lao Tzu's army must be distributed in full, there is no reason to talk about it! ”

"General Ping Thief, no, there is not enough money and food in the army, and the next batch of money and food will not arrive for a while, and the full amount will be distributed to General Ping Thief in the army, what will other soldiers eat?"

"I can't take care of it!"

As he spoke, Zuo Liangyu waved his hand and asked all the families to step forward to carry money and grain, and the surrounding Ming troops were all in a commotion when they saw this. There is only so much money and food in the army, Zuo Liangyu has enough money, how much can he still get?

So the soldiers of the rest of the Ming army also stepped forward to rob, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. The garrison was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly asked his soldiers to maintain order, while sending someone to report to Yang Sichang.

Liu Yan shook his head and sighed when he saw this, at this time, the difference in military discipline of the Ming army can be said to be the worst in the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and such an army can only bully a rogue like Zhang Xianzhong.

"My lord, what shall we do?"

Liu Yan said coldly: "Let the soldiers open fire on the sky!" ”

"Yes!"

Among the flag soldiers brought by Miao Shao, there were two teams of gunners and two teams of bird-gunners, and I saw that the two teams of twenty bird-gunners raised their bird-guns one after another and fired a volley into the sky.

The loud sound of the bird's gun suddenly spread in the camp, and the soldiers of the Ming army who were scrambling for money and food were startled, and thought that it was an enemy attack, so they stopped one after another and began to look around.

"All the army, forward!"

Liu Yan gave an order, and sixty-eight soldiers of the New Army formed a phalanx to advance forward, protecting Liu Yan and Miao Shao in the middle.

The two captains of gunners were in front, the spears were raised horizontally, and the soldiers of the Ming army along the way dodged one after another, and the two teams of bird-gunners followed, loading while walking, and the movements were very skillful. In the hands of the two teams of birds, there are also eight sword and shield men, who are wandering on both sides of the phalanx at this time, protecting the two wings of the phalanx.

He Renlong and Li Guoqi were also here, and they were all surprised to see that Liu Yan's new army was so well-trained and skillfully coordinated with all arms.

"General He, if our Qin army officers and soldiers face Liu Yan's department, it is estimated that we will have to use one or two hundred good hands to repel these dozens of people, right?"

Although He Renlong is known as He Maniac, he is also a veteran of the battlefield and has a lot of experience, so he said in a deep voice at this time: "One or two hundred? Unless they are all elite families, three or five hundred people can't beat them. ”

Li Guoqi exclaimed: "Liu Yan really has two brushes, just talking about military training, it is not within the reach of ordinary people." ”

While the two were talking, Liu Yan led his troops to rush to the place where the money and grain were distributed, and directly blocked Zuo Liangyu's department here.

Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu was furious, jumped directly on top of a pile of grain, and roared loudly: "Liu Yan, what are you doing, looking for death!" ”

Liu Yan looked at Zuo Liangyu and said expressionlessly: "Put down the money and food, I'll let you go, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

Everyone saw that Zuo Liangyu, who had always been arrogant, and Liu Yan, who had great achievements in war and was in full swing, went head-to-head, and retreated one after another.

He Renlong and Li Guoqi restrained their subordinates to step aside, and the two looked at Zuo Liangyu and then at Liu Yan, hesitated, and did not step forward to dissuade them.

At this time, a spacious open space was formed in the place where the money and grain were distributed in the camp, and the officers and men of the Ming army surrounded them in the distance, surrounding Zuo Liangyu's more than 200 soldiers and Liu Yan's dozens of soldiers of the New Army in the middle.

Seeing this, Liu Yan secretly said in his heart: "This is a good opportunity to stand up!" ”

Over there, Zuo Liangyu pulled out his waist knife suddenly, pointed at Liu Yan and said angrily: "Get out, otherwise Lao Tzu will cut you!" ”

Liu Yan didn't speak, just waved his hand, and twenty bird guns held the filled bird guns flat, and the jet-black bird guns stretched out from the gap of the spearmen, ready to shoot at any time.

Now He Renlong and Li Guoqi can't stay still, if Zuo Liangyu and Liu Yan are in the camp, then there is no need to fight this battle, maybe these tens of thousands of Ming troops will collapse in a blink of an eye, and when the time comes, the court will blame it, and no one can get out of it.

"General Ping Thief is angry, he has something to say, don't use a knife or a gun!"

Li Guoqi also ran to Liu Yan's side and said: "General Liu, don't be impulsive, this bird will be in trouble, they are all comrades in the army, don't hurt the harmony." ”

Zuo Liangyu looked at the black and shiny bird, and his heart was also worried, after all, firearms are not long-sighted, and if a first-class bullet hits him, the gain will outweigh the loss.

So Zuo Liangyu inserted the waist knife back into the scabbard, and then said angrily: "Erlang, the knife is not out of the sheath, the gun is not headed, give me a fight!" ”

Liu Yan raised his eyebrows, looked at Zuo Liangyu's more than two hundred Ding rushed over, and said loudly: "Fight!" As long as no one is killed, no matter how disabled it is! ”

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

Miao Shao and sixty-eight officers and men of the New Army roared in unison, and the small phalanx continued to advance. Only this time, the pikemen in front turned their spears around and met the enemy with their tails, and the sword and shield men also inserted their swords back into their scabbards, and then waved their scabbards to meet the enemy.

The same is true of those bird guns, who have put their bird guns on their backs and replaced them with waist knives and scabbards to meet the enemy.

The two sides immediately collided together, and Zuo Liangyu also roared and went into battle shirtless, pushing forward, scolding, and shouting with more than 200 Ding, like wanderers on the street, without any rules, it was completely a fierce fight.

On the other hand, on Liu Yan's side, although the number of Liu Yan and Miao Shao is only seventy, and the number of Zuo Liangyu's department is more than three times that of Liu Yan's department, but Liu Yan's seventy people met the enemy with a battle formation, and they simply blocked more than 200 elite members of Zuo Liangyu's department, and the two sides crowded together, whipping and stabbing with guns, slashing with scabbards, and even attacking each other's people with fists, feet, elbows and knees, and the battle was very fierce.

He Renlong and Li Guoqi were dumbfounded, the strength of Zuo Liangyu's department was known, and it was also a first-class existence in the Ming army, especially the more than 200 Ding, but Zuo Liangyu invested a lot of money to build, not only did they reach out one by one, but the supply of money and food was also sufficient, and the combat power was very strong.

But now, Zuo Liangyu's more than 200 elite families have encountered hard bones, and they can't gnaw Liu Yan's dozens of new troops.

"Those people should be Liu Yan's carefully built family, right?"

Li Guoqi looked ahead in surprise and said.

He Renlong said: "No matter what family, it is rumored that Liu Yan does not support his family, and he does not even let his subordinates support his family. Those are the ordinary soldiers in Liu Yan's army! ”

"That's too strong!"

Li Guoqi admired, the battle situation in front of him suddenly changed, and he saw Liu Yan shouting loudly: "Forward!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Dozens of soldiers moved forward angrily, twenty pikemen moved in unison, constantly stabbing forward, left front and right front, everyone alternately covered, there was no trace of hesitation in the action, steady, accurate, ruthless, and the family Ding of Zuo Liangyu's department was embarrassed, and after a few rounds of attack, more than 20 people fell from those family members, all of whom were hit by the gun in the throat, face, heart socket and other vital parts, these family members fell to the ground and wailed in pain, many people were colored, their faces were dripping with blood, and they had no combat power.

At the same time, the sword and shield hands on both flanks of the phalanx also continued to attack, and with the sword-wielding bird gunners who came out of the formation to support, they continued to repel the family members who rushed over and entangled.

These soldiers of the new army are two back to back, three of them are in the shape of horns, and the four of them can form a formation in front and back, covering the phalanx to keep moving forward, Zuo Liangyu's family couldn't stop it at all, but was knocked down by more than 20 people!

At this time, Zuo Liangyu's face turned pale, not afraid, but angry. How many years has Zuo Liangyu commanded the army, and it is the first time he has suffered such a big loss, looking at Liu Yan in the military array in front, he can't wait to rush up and take a bite.

Liu Yan naturally also saw Zuo Liangyu not far away, pointed at Zuo Liangyu with the waist knife in his hand, and laughed loudly: "You thief general, look at how I take you down today!" ”

"Liu Yan!"

Zuo Liangyu was so angry that he almost went crazy, and kept urging all the family members to step forward, but at this time, these family members were already a little afraid.

Besieging dozens of new armies with more than 200 people, not only could not break through the phalanx of the new army, but could not stop the pace of the new army's advance, but dozens of companions fell in front.

At this time, there were already families retreating backwards, and there were a few peripheral families who smeared oil under their feet and slipped away.

Liu Yan laughed heartily when he saw this, and didn't take Zuo Liangyu in his eyes at all.

"Stop it!"

Yang Sichang and Zheng Chongjian finally arrived, and the two looked at Liu Yanbu and Zuo Liangyubu who were in a mess, and they trembled with anger. At present, Zhang Xianzhong's department has not yet been won, but his own people are in a mess, what kind of system!

But Zuo Liangyu and Liu Yan each listened to them, and the two still supervised the attack, which made Yang Sichang, who was already in poor health, almost faint, and Zheng Chongjian on the side was also so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

At this moment, Liu Yan led his troops to break into the distance a few steps in front of Zuo Liangyu, Liu Yan threw a scabbard violently, and Zuo Liangyu was in the middle of the door, only to see Zuo Liangyu fall on his back with a scream, and the family next to him hurriedly helped him up.

Zuo Liangyu covered his mouth and nose with both hands, blood kept flowing out of his fingers, Liu Yan laughed heartily when he saw this, and said loudly: "You thief general, you can't help fighting, how can you lead the army, it's better to go home and stay in bed!" ”

Zuo Liangyu was so angry that he almost went crazy, but the sharp pain in his mouth gradually calmed him down, and when he looked down, he saw that one of his front teeth had been knocked out by the scabbard.

"Take the general back to the camp!"

Seeing this, the surrounding family members did not dare to fight, and retreated one after another, Liu Yan took the opportunity to lead his troops to pursue, and the remaining more than 100 family members suddenly collapsed, screaming and scattering in all directions.

Yang Sichang, Zheng Chongjian, He Renlong, and Li Guoqi looked at the scene in front of them dumbfounded: Zuo Liangyu's more than 200 injured people fled from injury, and they were chased and beaten by dozens of new troops led by Liu Yan, and they had no power to fight back at all!

Zheng Chongjian muttered: "Liu Yan's department is so strong, it is terrifying! ”

Yang Sichang smiled in his heart, with such an elite, this battle is worry-free. The only thing to worry about now is how to take Liu Yan for his own use.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu was escorted by several family members to Yang Sichang, and was about to sue, but saw Yang Sichang wave his hand and said to several family members: "Don't bring the thief general back yet!" ”

Some people died, but not completely......
