The camp was full of flames, shouts of killing, and there was chaos. After slashing and killing hundreds of enemies, the 300 soldiers who were responsible for setting fire to the periphery of the camp gathered together, fought and retreated, and slowly retreated in the direction of Tong'an City.

The lieutenant who came to pursue him was secretly happy in his heart, as long as he could behead or capture alive these hundreds of soldiers who had come to rob the camp, it would be enough to atone for his crimes, so the captain shouted: "Brothers, chase me quickly! Behead the first class and issue five taels of silver!" When the bandits heard that there was money to be taken for the beheading, they immediately relied on the strength of the crowd and bravely pursued them.

The lieutenant never expected that more than 100 soldiers would follow behind his buttocks. It turned out that the team that assassinated Hao Zhengtong from the direction of the Chinese military tent also escaped from the camp, and the halberd commander who led the team saw that the friendly army was in danger, and suddenly led more than 100 brothers to rush up, following behind the bandits' butts and slashing wildly. In the darkness, I don't know how many enemies there are, and the bandits are suddenly in chaos, crying for their fathers and mothers, and running in all directions.

The four hundred soldiers brought by Li Dazhui gathered together and slowly retreated in the direction of Tong'an City as originally planned. After a brief moment of panic, the bandits regrouped. When he found that there seemed to be only three or four hundred men on the opposite side, he immediately became emboldened again, and thousands of bandits, led by the captain, continued to pursue behind.

At this time, Li Da Hammer and hundreds of cavalry also withdrew from the direction of the grain and grass camp, just ran into this group of bandits chasing friendly troops, Li Da Hammer shouted, and hundreds of cavalry who had just burned the other party's grain and grass morale were like chicken blood, screaming and rushing into the enemy army and slashing indiscriminately. The ass was attacked again, and the other party was still cavalry, and the group of bandits immediately collapsed.

After the bandits were defeated again, they had lost the courage to pursue and retreated in the direction of the camp in despair. Li Dazhui returned to Tong'an County happily with his men and horses, counted the number of people, killed five people, and slightly injured more than ten people, but burned the opponent's grain and grass camp, and hacked to death at least hundreds of people on the opposite side, which can be described as a complete victory, and the fly in the ointment was that he failed to kill or capture the other party's big leader alive.

Even so, Luo Zhixian and Tong Liang were also overjoyed, this victory was real, the grain and grass were burned, how could the other side still hold on? I just don't know how the confused commander on the other side will explain to the king of Pingxi.

When Hao Zhengtong rushed to the grain and grass camp with his men and horses, he saw dead bodies all over the ground, and the grain and grass had almost been burned, and the culprit Li Dazhui had already led people to run away. Hao Zhengtong beat his chest and felt full of remorse, as a commander-in-chief, he didn't even prevent the camp from being robbed at night, which was really a failure. The main reason is that he didn't expect that so many people in the city would dare to come and rob the camp.

In order to prevent accidents with grain and grass, Hao Zhengtong also deliberately set up the grain and grass camp near the camp to facilitate rescue, but he did not expect that Hu Bilie, the captain in charge of guarding the grain and grass, underestimated the enemy because of this, drank and misbehaved, and finally led to the defeat of the army. Hao Zhengtong gritted his teeth with hatred, hating that he couldn't give Hu Bilie to the whipping corpse, but what was the use of whipping the corpse? Anyway, the grain and grass camp was also destroyed.

Soon, the casualty figure was also counted, and thousands of people were killed and wounded, and

As grain and grass were burned, morale was low. Hao Zhengtong arranged for the military medical officer to treat the wounded, and arranged for his lieutenants to lead people to collect the bodies of the dead, and only returned to the Chinese army's big tent after he was done. A pro-soldier came in to pour tea, Hao Zhengtong waved his hand with a sad face, signaled him to go out, sighed, tens of thousands of people under his command wanted to eat, but the grain and grass camp was burned, how is this good?

Besides, if the prince investigates it, he will have a big deal. It was not easy to get to General Mingwei, although he had no actual authority, but at least he was in the grade, and he tried his best to beg his grandfather to tell his grandmother to become the commander of the army this time, and some people said in front of the prince that they were not suitable for leading troops, didn't this give people the truth to impeach themselves?

Why am I so stupid, why don't I think that the enemy dares to go out of the city to cut people during the day, and at night I will have the courage to rob the camp? Hao Zhengtong slapped himself with hatred. It was already dawn in a blink of an eye, Hao Zhengtong was so worried, he took out the wine jug and poured the wine, poured himself a drink, and borrowed the wine to drown his sorrows. Hao Zhengtong was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army and felt sorry for himself, and a personal soldier outside rushed in to report, "General Qiyu, Captain He Chao's escort of grain and grass has arrived outside the barracks!"

When Hao Zhengtong heard that Captain He Chao escorted grain and grass to the outside of the barracks, he felt a little comforted in his heart, at least more than 10,000 troops would not go hungry. Moreover, He Chao is Hao Zhengtong's friend. Hao Zhengtong threw away his wine glass and stood up, and hurriedly went out, this was really timely rain! Before Hao Zhengtong arrived at the gate of the camp, he saw dozens of grain and grass trucks lined up in a long line, slowly coming in the direction of the camp.

Captain He Chao saw General Mingwei personally greet him, hurriedly threw his stirrups off the saddle and dismounted, ran a few steps in front of Hao Zhengtong, bowed down and saluted: "See General Mingwei for your humble duties!

Hao Zhengtong hurriedly stepped forward, took He Chao's hand, and said with a wry smile: "Brother He, fortunately you came a day late, otherwise we might not even be able to eat today! You came with grain and grass, which is the only good news in the past two days!"

He Chao was taken aback, "General, what's going on?"

There was a little school next to him who was quick to talk and said, "Captain He, our camp was robbed last night, and the grain and grass were burned down!" Hao Zhengtong glanced at the mouthy little school, did not speak, his face was red, and he was very ashamed.

He Chao heard that the camp was robbed and the grain and grass were burned, so he was stunned for a moment, then sighed and comforted: "It's okay, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, let's just fight back!"

Hao Zhengtong instructed the soldiers to pull grain and grass into the camp, and piled them up in several camp tents next to the Chinese military tent, and then forced a smile and invited He Chao into the Chinese military tent to chat. Hao Zhengtong recounted the fact that he lost the battle during the day yesterday, lost hundreds of people, and was robbed of the camp at night and burned the grain and grass, and sighed: "Brother He, brother, I am really lucky, just with a few soldiers, I stabbed such a big basket, killing and wounding nearly 2,000 soldiers, and the grain and grass were also burned!"

Seeing that there was no one around, He Chao shook his head and said unceremoniously: "Brother Hao, this is not a matter of luck! You have lost for a while during the day, and you have to guard against the enemy from robbing the camp at night! If my brothers and I were here yesterday, the grain and grass camp would not have been burned! As the chief general, you have to think more and see far than other captains, after all, the lives of these tens of thousands of brothers are in your hands

No wonder some people said before that you weren't fit to lead troops!"

Hao Zhengtong glanced at He Chao, his heart was very unhappy, he lost for a while, and was robbed again, and now He Chao accused him to his face, how could he feel good in his heart? Hao Zhengtong stood up and stroked his beard, trembling with anger.

He Chao also knew that his words were serious, so he was embarrassed to get up, and wanted to bring the words back, and said: "Brother Hao, don't be sad, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, if you can defeat Tong'an City, you can atone for your crimes." Brother Rong said a lot, the order that the prince gave you was to let you enter Jiannan Road to help Niumandi, what are you spending here and Tong'an County?"

Hao Zhengtong sighed: "If I want to lead the troops into Jiannan Road and not conquer Tong'an County, how can the grain and grass be transported over?"

He Chao sneered, "Since you have entered Jiannan Dao with more than 10,000 troops, what are you going to do when you come back? Can't you find a place to occupy the mountain as the king? On the one hand, you can plunder the prefectures and counties of Jiannan Dao and make them unpeaceful, and on the other hand, you can also cheer for the cattle all over the land, wedged into Jiannan Dao like a nail, weakening the strength of Tang Jiusheng's side, why not? Why spend it here for the gains and losses of one city and one place, and he is here!"

Hao Zhengtong's eyes couldn't help but light up, although the official road passes through the city from Tong'an County, but the small road in the east of the city is not impossible to bypass Tong'an County, He Chao is reasonable, who said that if you enter Jiannan Road, you must turn back? Isn't the Central Plains bigger? Anyway, sooner or later, the prince will raise troops, so it is better to take a team of men and horses to fight into Jiannan Road, and be responsible for making some preliminary preparations for the prince.

Hao Zhengtong secretly scolded himself for having no brains, and hurriedly smiled and asked the soldiers to put on the table the wine and food, and wanted to have a few drinks with He Chao. He Chao waved his hand and said: "Brother Hao, it's okay to eat, don't drink wine, it's now in front of the two armies, drinking and making a mistake!

Hao Zhengtong's face was red and white when he said this, so he had to nod and say: "Okay, what Brother He said is too right, drinking is indeed a mistake, then the eldest brother will punish himself with three glasses first!" After speaking, he poured a full glass of wine, drank it all, poured another glass of wine, drank it all again, poured another glass of wine, and before he could drink it, He Chao snatched the wine away.

He Chao said in a deep voice: "Brother Hao, stop drinking! Let's think about how to fight this battle!"

Hao Zhengtong said with a smile: "Brother He, you really remind the people in your dreams that I won't spend time with them in this city! I will try another trick during the day, if it is not successful, tonight I will take people from the east road of the city to bypass Tong'an County, and go to the middle of Jiannan Road to occupy the mountain and be the king! If you are willing to go with you, you can be the second master, let's join forces with our brothers, what do you care about Tang Jiusheng and Tang Shisheng!"

He Chao was puzzled: "Big brother, what are your clever plans, say it, brother will help you with your staff!"

Hao Zhengtong whispered his plan in He Chao's ear, He Chao thought about it and hesitated: "Big brother, this strategy is good, I'm afraid that the people in the city won't be fooled!

Hao Zhengdao: "Don't care if they are fooled or not! If we win, we have Tong'an County, and if we lose, we will detour from the east road of the city and go straight to Jiannan Road! If he wants to spend time with me, then I will not come back!"
