On May 8, the escort team arrived in Pinglu.

The route I took this time was the same as the route Su Tiancheng had when he took office in Jiangning County. He passed by Henan Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture, and entered Nanzhili from Guide Prefecture.

The 1,500 guards of the King of Jin's mansion were obviously a little relaxed and were about to leave Shanxi. They felt that the danger had passed and nothing big would happen. Since Zijinliang was frustrated in Henan, the bandits were reluctant to go to Henan. Shaanxi, Shanxi and Beizhili became the focus of their activities, so they believed that they would not encounter anything in Henan.

That's not how Su Tiancheng sees it.

The area at the border between Shanxi and Henan often has bandits. The terrain here is complex, and the imperial army rarely spends a lot of effort to rectify it. Even if the army comes over, it is helpless when facing many mountains and desolate places.

Such a place is the best place to ambush.

The five hundred soldiers in Jiangning Camp have always been highly alert. Among them, some of them once followed Su Tiancheng and strangled them to the mud in this generation, and knew the complexity of the terrain of this generation.

Sun Yuankun sent scouts to investigate along the way and ordered scouts to find out all the situations within a radius of ten miles.

On May 9th, a large group of people entered Mianchi.

The scout suddenly came to report the news, with an incredible expression on his face.

Su Tiancheng, Qu Qingze, Sun Yuankun, Sun Chengzong and others walked in the middle of the team.

Seeing the scout's look of shock, Sun Yuankun was thinking of scolding him, and Su Tiancheng waved his hand to stop him.

"There is a large group of people twenty miles ahead, and there are estimated to be more than 5,000 people. They set up their formation, and their subordinates probably are the bandits."

This is a special arrangement. A year ago, Su Tiancheng sneaked into Zhang Cunmeng here and decisively killed him, so that his loyal subordinate Fang Ming led the bandits to fight to the death with him. Now, the bandits still chose this place, which was also an open way. I wonder if it was an amazing coincidence.

The news spread quickly.

Su Tiancheng and his party had only more than 2,000 people, and there were more than 5,000 bandits. It seems that they had made up their minds this time. This place is still a little far away from Mianchi County, and even the soldiers in the county town had no effect on their assistance.

The guards of the King of Jin's mansion were obviously a little nervous. They could not have imagined that in Henan, they could meet such a large-scale bandit, and the guards were a little turbulent. The intention of the words were to return to Pinglu for the time being. Mobilize the imperial army to wipe out the bandits.

This idea slowly spread among the guards, and before the war began, people's hearts dispersed.

Zhu Shenxin also knew the situation.

She got off the carriage and came straight to find Su Tiancheng. Chunping and others followed her.

Su Tiancheng was discussing with Sun Yuankun, Sun Chuanting and others, and saw Zhu Shenxin and others coming.

Before Su Tiancheng could speak, Zhu Shenxin started to speak.

"Husband, I already know the situation. Husband, don't worry, don't be dragged down by me."

Su Tiancheng looked at Zhu Shenxin, nodded, and said nothing.

Sun Yuankun and Sun Chuanting have a brother’s opinion.

Sun Yuankun meant that the five hundred soldiers in Jiangning Camp must ensure the safety of Su Tiancheng and his family. It is not suitable to charge and fight against the bandits. The main task of entrusting the Jin Prince's Mansion is to be handed over to the guards of the Jin Prince's Mansion. Sun Chuanting believed that if the soldiers in Jiangning Camp could not kill the enemy, just having the guards of the Jin Prince's Mansion fight would definitely affect morale. However, he also believed that Su Tiancheng and his family must have soldiers guards of the Jiangning Camp.

Su Tiancheng thought about it for a moment and made a decision.

"There are 200 people in the scout camp to protect Zhu Shenxin and his party. No matter what the situation is, there will be no mistakes. The three hundred soldiers of the Xiaoqi Camp, as the vanguard of the attack, rushed in the front. The escort of the royal palace had Xu Luan's thoughts. If they were asked to be the main force to fight the bandits, they would definitely fail. Therefore, the three hundred brothers of the Xiaoqi Camp are the absolute main force and must play the role of the Dinghai Ding Needle. Or the same sentence, no matter what situation is encountered, as long as the order is issued, the brothers of the Jiangning Camp must not retreat. Even if they are swords and fires, they must break through and rush up without frowning."

"After the combat order is issued, we must make the military order fall like a mountain, and no other voices are allowed. As for the idea of ​​retreating to Anlu County, we throw it aside. The bandits were eager for me to do this. They set up a formation and thought I dare not advance or attack. If I retreat, it just fits their wishes. The bandits were also taboo. We had already shown their prestige in Yingshan County. They had no idea and told their brothers that they should be confident that victory must belong to us."

Sun Yuankun went to arrange combat missions, including the matter of placing troops and formations.

Sun Chuanting did not leave immediately, and Su Tiancheng asked him to stay for a while.

"Mr. Sun, two hundred brothers in the scout camp, I will allocate you a hundred people. The scout camp is the elite of the Jiangning camp and has the courage of thousands of men. Your mission is to lead them and kill the leaders of the bandits, including the backbone forces of the bandits. Don't leave a living or let them escape."

"Mr. Su, no, there are too few soldiers around you and your family."

"No problem, there are a hundred brothers around you. No matter how many bandits there are, don't think about getting close."

Su Tiancheng's strong self-confidence infected Sun Chuanting, and he nodded.

After the order to fight was issued, the atmosphere became solemn.

Everyone knows what this battle means. No one dares to be absolutely sure of fighting more than twice their own bandits with two thousand soldiers. Besides, there are Su Tiancheng's family in the team, and Zhu Shenxin is the younger sister of King Jin. If something goes wrong, the guards of the royal palace should not think about living.

To be honest, if this battle failed, Xiao Wei could only surrender to the bandits.

The marching queue has changed.

The three hundred soldiers of the Xiaoqi Camp were at the front, behind them were the escorts of the 500 royal palaces who were preparing to enter Jiangning Camp, and the remaining 1,000 royal palace guards followed behind, with two hundred scouts at the back, protecting Su Tiancheng, Zhu Shenxin, Chunping, Wang Furong, Liu Rushi and others, Su Pingyang and Su Jun, also in this team.

Su Tiancheng jumped to the front of the team.

"Brothers, bandits are rampant and they actually attack us publicly. I can't bear it. Although we are not many in this battle, we will definitely win a great victory. Thinking about the Battle of Yingshan, we have less than 5,000 brothers, but we have wiped out more than 11,000 bandits in Zijinliang. This time, we will definitely be able to wipe out the bandits ahead."

"A brother said that it is normal to have such an idea when you return to Anlu County and wait for rescue, but we cannot do so. There are more than 5,000 bandits, but they dare not attack us and wait in front of us carelessly. This shows that they are also guilty. Although they are thinking about avenging Zijinliang, they do not know our background and are afraid of our bravery. If we retreat to Anlu County, it will be just right for them."

"We cannot be ambitious to others, destroy our own power, and the sword is ruthless. There are always casualties and injuries in wars. But we are soldiers. Among you, there are soldiers from Jiangning Camp and guards from the royal palace, all of them are loud men. Remember, the honor of soldiers is above everything else."

"The military order is like a mountain falling, and Jiangning Camp does not allow escape. Even if the last person is fighting, as for the guards of the royal palace, including the brothers who are about to enter Jiangning Camp, remember the belief of Jiangning Camp. On the battlefield, do not abandon or give up, take care of each other's breath, and go with the fire, go with the soup, raise your glass to give me the merits, and if you lose, you will use your life to save each other."

The restless crowd gradually seemed calm, and different expressions appeared on everyone's faces. The soldiers of the Three Hundred Cavalry Camp at the front were calm. They were used to such requests. On the battlefield, they were determined without hesitation, and even if the last person was left, they would not retreat. Most of the remaining guards of the royal palace had a look of eagerness to try. Many of them had experienced cruel battles. After arriving at the Jin palace, they had no chance to fight. They lived in a calm atmosphere and were almost grinding. There were a very small number of people with at a loss on their faces. Most of these people were factory guards or Jinyiwei. Their duty was mainly to monitor the actions of the King of Jin and never thought of going to fight.

Su Tiancheng quickly glanced at everyone.

Qu Qingze, Su Pingyang, Su Jun and others came forward with paper, pen, ink and inkstone. According to convention, before the war, everyone had to write a will. If there was anything that had not been done, the surviving brothers would help complete it.

Sun Chuanting felt surprised when he looked at this scene. He vaguely felt that why Jiangning Camp is so brave is not only based on beliefs, but also some specific practices, which reflect care and meticulous consideration. This kind of care from the heart can maximize the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

No one is polite, everyone started to tell briefly, including Su Tiancheng, who helped record it.

Seeing this situation, Sun Chuanting also went forward, picked up the paper and pen, and began to help record.

After less than a quarter of an hour of writing, his hands began to tremble. The soldiers of the cavalry camp spoke in a calm tone, as if they were having an ordinary conversation, without anyone being excited.

He knew what the situation was. The soldiers of the Cavalry Camp were ready to die and were ready to wrap the body. Such an army was indeed an invincible army. Just imagine, if you are not afraid of death, what else can you be afraid of.

Sun Chuanting suddenly felt great confidence again. He believed that the bandits were seeking death this time.
