Seeing that the officers and soldiers were attacking Zhuang fiercely, Hongxiu said to the three Taoists: "Master, now the officers and soldiers are attacking Zhuang fiercely, I will lead the army out of Zhuang to kill in a while, please watch the changes of Liu Sheng and the Ming army here, there are some ways to deal with changes, and I have to worry about the master to deal with it." ”

Hongyi said: "Please rest assured, we are also willing to go out to fight with the girl together, and we can also make a meeting gift." ”

Hongxiu Nu said: "The master is new here, and don't be anxious, just rest now, so that you can be familiar with the situation, and it is not too late to fight in the future." ”

Hong Zhendao said: "Since the girl said so, then follow the girl's orders." It is imperative that we wait and don't divide the girl's heart anymore, and we should work together to defeat the enemy. ”

Hongxiu Nu said: "Thank you master, and please ask the master to pay more attention to Liu Sheng, to prevent him from using witchcraft again." ”

Hong Zhendao said: "Please rest assured that this girl, this Dao will deal with it." ”

At this time, Hongxiu Nu saw that the officers and soldiers had already set up a lot of ladders, so she waved her hand, and a drum sounded in the village, and some oil was poured on the wall of the village in an instant. Oil was poured on the ladder, and the officers and soldiers were shot, and then the ladder caught fire, and some officers and soldiers were also on fire, and they were burned and ran around screaming. Some even introduced fire into the ranks of officers and soldiers. Some of the generals in the group of officers and soldiers were afraid that the fire would be ignited, so they hurriedly swung their knives and cut down the soldiers with the fire. The officers and soldiers who were so frightened that they were not yet on fire crowded on both sides, for fear that they would also be cut down by the fire. At this time, the cold was unprepared, a cannon rang out in the village, the door of the village was wide open, and the red show girl took the lead to kill the village.

But seeing the red show girl holding a spear and showing off the horse, there was Hong Siba on the left, and Hong Yunxiu on the right, like a tiger descending the mountain, rushed towards the officers and soldiers who attacked Hongjiazhuang. The frightened officers and men were scattered, and fled backwards, trampling on each other and being driven to death.

Seeing this, Liu Sheng didn't have time to stop it, so he hurriedly rushed up with a gun to fight the red show girl. Hongxiunu Hong Siba and Hong Yunxiu came to fight Liu Sheng together, and the three of them fought around Liu Sheng, and Hongxiunu wanted to shoot Liu Sheng.

The two officers and soldiers saw that the marshal himself was bravely fighting three people, and hurriedly rushed up to fight Hong Siba and Hong Yunxiu, and the six people caught the right children and fought together. That Liu Sheng also has a horizontal force, and the marksmanship makes it accurate, and he is not alarmed when he is in danger, and the red show girl is gradually a little overwhelmed.

At this time, Hong Yunxiu was anxious to cut off the helmet of the general, and the general was able to lower his head quickly, and if he was not in a hurry, he was cut off in half. Frightened, the soul of the warrior seemed to fly out of the sheath in an instant, and he hurriedly slapped his horse and ran. But he was shocked in his heart and brain, as if he was suddenly wooden, and ran in the wrong direction with the horse, rushed to Hong Siba, and forgot to fight again in a daze.

Hong Siba saw that there was a daze in front of him, so he hit the general who was fighting with him with a hammer, and smashed the stunned general who ran over and was stunned off the horse with a hammer. Immediately, the general's head burst into tears, and he dismounted without screaming.

When Zhan Hong Siba's general saw that his brother was killed by a hammer, he was also stunned and shouted: "Brother, ahhhh??????h Before he could finish the call, Hong Siba took the opportunity to turn over the hammer again and rushed over to smash the general off the horse again, and when he caught up, he burst his brain with another hammer.

Liu Sheng fought desperately against the red show girl, bent on winning. Hearing the sound of the sound, he saw that two generals had broken in a row, and that Hong Siba and Hong Yunxiu rushed towards him again, and saw a dancing knife and a hammer, and the double hammer that made the hammer still had brains on it, and he was so shocked that he was a little panicked for a while. I didn't know the depth of these people and was a little afraid, so I turned my horse back to the main formation, let the archers shoot the position, retreated dozens of miles to collect the men and horses and set up camp, and then passed Shen Shizong into the big tent, and said angrily: "Shen Shizong, you greedy for life and afraid of death, why don't you fight today? Seeing that Liu Hu and Liu Bao have lost two generals, Liu Hu and Liu Bao. ”

Shen Shi said: "Marshal, didn't I say it? My two brothers are not their opponents, the marshal personally went into battle, I only had to stabilize my position first, and let Liu Bao and Liu Hu go up to fight the other two people, but I didn't know that they were so ruthless, and they all gave him two brains." ”

Liu Sheng was furious by Shen Shizong's sophistry, gritted his teeth and said: "The nameless rat dares to tease Ben Shuai." is clearly greedy for life and afraid of death, and dares to quibble. Today, it is clear that you didn't dare to go out to save Liu Hu and Liu Bao's brothers, so you killed Liu Hu and Liu Bao, and you dare to say that the thieves and soldiers are ruthless, what is the use of me keeping you?" After speaking, he shouted: "Come on, drag Shen Shizong out and behead me and order the three armies to show the public." ”

The sergeants took Shen Shi into the account and dragged it out. Mr. Shen Shi was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Marshal spare your life, for the sake of my brother Shen Shijie's martyrdom for the country, just spare me this time." Please calm the marshal's anger, please calm the wrath of thunder, for the sake of me following the marshal from Yanjing to Nanjing, don't ??????"

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged out of the big tent. At this time, all the generals hurriedly knelt down, and Liu Sheng was surprised and said, "Why are you doing this?"

The generals said: "Marshal, if you don't capture the thief today, you will behead the general first, I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous in the army." Moreover, the two generals have been folded today, and Shen Shijie's brother Shen Shijie has also died in his post, and now he will kill Shen Shizong again, and there will be no one in the two pairs of brothers since he entered Jiaodong, which may shake the heart of the army. ”

Liu Sheng came back to his senses and said angrily: "Such a greedy person who is afraid of death, his brother Shen Shijie is not afraid of death, he is not proficient, he is stupid and stupid, stupid as a bear." He is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is like a monkey who is fine and runs away like a monkey, and the two of them add up to less than half a catty and eight taels of weight. You say, what's the use of me keeping such a half-catty and eight taels?"

The generals said: "It's just half a catty and eight taels that are not worth killing the marshal." If you kill him, but in the eyes of the imperial court, you will not only fold Liu Zhong's general vanguard, General Li Jinlong, two brave generals, four brave generals, and one more general, marshal, do you think it's worth it?"

Liu Sheng himself is a big fool, and when he thinks about it, he thinks it makes sense, thinking that for a greedy person who is afraid of death, it is not worth it to let the saint say that he has lost too many soldiers, so he said: "For the sake of today's intercession for him, he will be spared from death." So he shouted: "Pull Mr. Shen back for me." ”

So Shen Shi was always pulled back to the big tent. As soon as he entered the big account, he shouted deadly: "Marshal Xie's grace not to kill, Marshal Xie's grace not to kill." ”

Liu Sheng said: "Mr. Shen Shi, if you don't kill you, it's the generals who will intercede for you, and the boss will spare your life." But capital sins can be forgiven, but living sins are unforgivable. As he spoke, he said: "Come on, Shen Shi will be responsible for the eighty boards, and Ben Shuai must watch the fight with his own eyes, not only to beat him hard, but also not to kill him." ”

So, all the soldiers came up and pressed Shen Shizong to the ground, and when the board came down, Shen Shizong was almost paralyzed, lying on the ground like a dead pig and unable to move. Liu Sheng still didn't understand his hatred and said: "From today on, Shen Shi will be demoted to a thousand generals, and if you go into battle again, you will have to fight and flee, and if you escape again, you will not be forgiven." ”

Mr. Shen Shi was beaten and endured the pain and said, "Marshal Xie." ”

Liu Sheng saw that Shen Shizong was beaten like a dead pig and couldn't move anymore, and ordered him to be carried down to treat his injuries, and then said to the generals: "I fought with that red show girl today, but I don't want this village girl to be so powerful, and I will lose two of my generals in a row." Although there is no victory or defeat today, I expect that this red show girl will come to rob the camp tonight, and you should be careful when you go back. When it was dark, all the troops were led to ambush outside the camp, but when the red show girl came into the camp and wanted to retreat, when I heard a cannon, they all led the troops out together, so as to capture the red show girl and let a thief escape. ”

All the generals agreed, and they were all ordered to go back to the camp and prepare.

Liu Sheng stopped until dark, and when he saw that the soldiers and horses were all in ambush, he couldn't help but say: "Hmph, Hongxiu Girl, I'm waiting for you to come to rob the camp, I expect you to come tonight." But when you come, I will let you have no return, destroy your men and horses, and capture you alive. Hmph, see me catch you, how can you go crazy again?"

But Liu Sheng knew there that this red show girl was from the village, and her tactics were not according to the conventions that Liu Sheng thought. In the first battle of the day, although two officers and soldiers were killed, and the officers and soldiers retreated for dozens of miles, when they returned to the village to count their own people, Hongxiu saw that she had also broken three or four hundred people, and she was also very distressed.

Since she led the villagers to fight with Shen Shizong, and even broke Li Jinlong, although she must win every battle, she has also lost more than 1,000 people, so there are more than 6,000 people left in the team of more than 7,000 people. If she continues to fight like this, she will win every time, and she and the officers and soldiers will not be able to afford it. Therefore, she used her brain to think about how to quickly defeat the officers and soldiers, so that the officers and soldiers could be defeated, and then make the officers and soldiers agree to the conditions she proposed. She knew that the one who led the officers and soldiers to fight with her at this time was the generalissimo of the 100,000 Ming army who came to fight in Jiaodong, as long as she convinced him, she hoped that he would stop slaughtering the village, and let Liu Sheng promise not to offend each other and not to slaughter the people again, so as to fulfill her grandfather's wish.

But when she thought about it, she couldn't think of a good way to win quickly. Judging from the current situation, Hong Xiunu believes that no matter in terms of numbers and combat ability, although these villagers she is leading at the moment, although they are all brave and not afraid of death, in order to protect their families and the safety of the whole village, they all regard the defense of Zhuangzi as more important than their own lives. She hit there, and they followed and killed there. Now the lives of these villagers who are not afraid of death have fallen on her, if she is a little careless, even if there is a little mistake, a little bit of unexpectedness, it will bring irreparable unnecessary sacrifices to the villagers.

She repeatedly thought about the combat situation of the past day, and her observation of Liu Sheng's character in the conversation with Liu Shengyuan, she thought that Liu Sheng was a rough and stubborn person, a brave man, but not a simple brave man.

When fighting with Liu Sheng, she felt that she was above her in terms of strength and ability. Like Liu Sheng, a rough man, but he can use marksmanship so pure and free, she feels that Liu Sheng is not an ordinary rough man. If he was an ordinary rough and brave man, then how could Yongle hand over all 100,000 soldiers to him to command? If Liu Sheng was a brave man with a plan but not a rough heart, how could he be so simple-minded and self-determined to order the slaughter of the village?

is such a person, ignoring the overall situation, even killing the people of the rebel army, and arbitrarily ordering the slaughter of the village, and a hard-hearted person who ignores the tragic situation of the slaughtered village. Hong Xiunu felt that when she fought against such a person, she could neither take it lightly, nor be afraid without fighting. She knew that her weakness was there, and she couldn't consume the Ming army in terms of manpower, material resources, and food.

Moreover, in the Battle of Qingzhou, Tang Sai'er's 60,000 army was finally forced to break through. And paid a heavy price in the breakout, ten men and horses broke nine and went east, with a few thousand men to the east.

Although all these changes are related to the wisdom and courage of Liu Zhong, the pioneer of the Ming army who has been shot to death by the rebel army, the brave fighting of the brave two generals, and the bravery and good fighting of Li Jinlong and others, Liu Sheng, who is the commander-in-chief, cannot be underestimated. He was able to order the slaughter of the village because of Liu Zhong's death, and now that he has broken the brave second general, Li Jinlong, and many other fierce generals, can he still give up? He will definitely be arrogant and arbitrary, he can do everything that Zhuang Nei has done, not to mention that there are only more than 6,000 people in Zhuang who can fight. Although Liu Sheng lost a lot of men and horses in this battle, his men and horses were still not less than seventeen or eight thousand, and now his own men and horses were still three times different from Liu Sheng's 17,800 men. Besides, Liu Sheng is still as brave as a cloud, what if Liu Sheng transfers more officers and soldiers?

The only way to do this is to kill Liu Sheng in the same way that Tang Sai'er's rebel army killed Liu Zhong in the melee, and if Liu Sheng is as dead as Li Jinlong, it is possible to change all the actions of the officers and soldiers.

Thinking of this, Hong Xiunu thought that the only way to quickly defeat the officers and soldiers or kill Liu Sheng at the moment was to take advantage of the Ming army's unpreparedness to rob the camp at night.

So, she had the idea of robbing the camp in her heart, thinking of using the camp to defeat the Ming army again.
