Chapter 206 Tianwu Army enters the camp

After Lao Huihui Ma Shouying was defeated by the Tianwu Army in an iron-style counterattack at Yingshantou, he fled southward.

After hiding in Yingshan for two days, the old camp was found and overtaken by the Tianwu Army again. Ma Shou angrily went down to Yingshan, giving full play to the maneuverability of the old camp's horses, leaving the Tianwu Army far behind.

In Yingshan City, Zhu Cixiang was furious: "What? Ma Shouying ran away from Xishui County? Didn't I ask Liu Liangzuo to move to Xishui County ten days ago? Where are the others?"

Yang Qili said: "Your Highness, Commander-in-Chief Liu Liangzuo, Commander-in-Chief Shi He and Xiong Yi who were stationed at Xishui were holding a banquet in the camp to celebrate their birthdays. When Ma Shouying passed by Xishui, the entire Wuchang Prefecture's soldiers and horses did not move."

Zhu Cixiang was extremely angry. It seemed that Liu Liangzuo had also fought with Ma Shouyingwen. This son of a bitch had ruined my long-planned plan to suppress the bandits. I wanted to kill him, as well as Zuo Liangyu!

Zhu Cixiang led the army straight to the Xishui Ming Army garrison with great momentum.

At this time, Liu Liangzuo was not as dominant as in history. The tenth year of Chongzhen's reign, that is, this year, was the most glorious year in Liu Liangzuo's life. He won a great victory and became famous throughout Huguang.

At the beginning of the year, Luo Rucai's men shook the sky and led 50,000 troops, claiming to attack Yunyang with 200,000 troops. Mou Wenshou, the general in charge of defending the city with only 4,000 troops, asked Liu Liangzuo for help. In the letter, he praised Liu Liangzuo to the sky, but he only expressed his willingness.

Offer chrysanthemums.

Liu Liangzuo was very impressed by Mou Wenshou's praise and decided to send troops to support him. However, he set a condition, requiring that after the enemy was defeated, half of the captured men and women and half of the gold and silver would be his.

Mou Wenshou, who was on a thin line between life and death, had no time to bargain with him, so he readily agreed to it and told Liu Liangzuo, as long as you send troops to help me, I will take everything away and I won't need a single copper!

Liu Liangzuo was overjoyed and immediately mobilized more than 28,000 troops under his command to rush to reinforce Yunyang. When Yunyang was less than 200 miles away, he ordered the army to stop marching and let the army have a good rest for a day. At night, Liu Liangzuo led his army to attack directly.

The thieves shook the sky and moved the camp, taking advantage of the wind to set fire to it. The bandits were defeated and fled in all directions.

At this time, Mou Wenshou led his troops out of the city, cooperated internally and externally, and defeated the Shaking Tiandong tribe. In this battle, he killed more than 30,000 enemies and captured more than 4,000 people.

This battle made Liu Liangzuo and Mou Wenshou famous, and various awards and congratulatory messages continued. To express his gratitude, Mou Wenshou even gave him 200,000 taels of silver.

After a day of rapid march, when the Tianwu Army arrived at Xishui, they saw that Liu Liangzuo's camp, which stretched for several miles, was loose and unprepared. There was even a red cloth hanging on the gate of the camp, which gave it a festive feel.

Yang Qili reminded: "Your Highness, Liu Liangzuo is celebrating his birthday and has a big banquet in the camp for three days. This should be the third day."

"Celebrate your birthday? Let's spend it on the grave today next year!" Zhu Cixiang said coldly: "Put up the dragon flag and march into the camp. Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed!"

The Tianwu Army had been on the battlefield for a long time, and everyone carried a murderous aura. The army rushed directly into the camp.

Just as the guards in front of the camp gate were about to stop them, they saw a large number of people on the other side, well-equipped, and everyone was holding a blunderbuss. The black hole of the blunderbuss was pointed at them, and they quickly ran away, shouting as they ran: "No! Breaking in!"

Camp!"

The guard shouted for a long time, and then a few hundred people from the camp came out, dragging swords, guns and firecrackers and cursing, but everyone was drunk and wandering around.

A hundred soldiers of the Tianwu Army fired their shots neatly into the sky, frightening the soldiers who immediately dropped their weapons and ran to the side, not daring to step forward to block the crowd.

When Zhu Cixiang and others arrived in front of the Chinese army's tent, a few general-looking men came out walking. One of them blushed and his tongue was spinning. He shouted: "I am Liu Liangzuo, the commander-in-chief of Wuchang. You are the generals?"

What the hell dares to break into my camp?"

Huang Degong stepped forward and punched him, knocking him to the ground and shouting: "You don't even open your fucking eyes to see the flag clearly!"

Liu Liangzuo was knocked awake by the punch. He looked up and saw a big golden dragon with teeth and claws embroidered on the big red dragon flag.

Several people were so frightened that they knelt down one by one, unable to utter a word.

Zhu Cixiang stepped forward and said sternly: "Is this still a military camp? The enemy is in front of us, and the army is drunk. Come and capture them all!"

The sergeants of the Tianwu Army pinned all the dozens of generals in the camp to the ground and tied them up. Among them were not only three generals, but also several commanders of the guards from Huguang City who came to congratulate them on their birthday.

Zhu Cixi said coldly: "Drumming, the whole camp will have a drill!"

The flag officer in the camp was stunned at the time. He remembered that the last drumming session was when we just changed defenses. How many soldiers can be gathered by drumming now!

The Crown Prince gave the order, but he did not dare to disobey it, and he was very sensible and did not talk too much. He just asked people to play the drums.

The drums sounded, and Zhu Cixiang led everyone to the main campus to point out the generals. Ten days ago, he had ordered the general troops of the three towns in Huguang to intercept the remnants of the rogue bandits in Xishui and Wuchang. The total strength of the three towns should be no less than 60,000. He thought

Let's see how many people can gather today.

Time passed little by little. After one drum beat, the campus was empty. After two drum drums, a few people came. After three drum drums, hundreds of people came.

Zhu Cixiang's face was gloomy, and the hearts of the three general soldiers were getting colder and colder, and they even sobered up from drinking.

In the main camp, the war drums of the military exercises sounded again. After the second round of three-tone drums, some soldiers came to the main camp one after another.

After beating the war drums for three rounds of the parade, the soldiers finally gathered together. The three-tone drums usually last for a quarter of an hour, which is fifteen minutes. Now they have beaten three rounds in a row... In other words, Zhu Cixiang has been beaten for a full

Waited for nearly half an hour.

After waiting for so long, Zhu Cixiang also calmed down. He said to Huang Degong: "Take a group and capture all those who are still in the camp but have not come!"

Zhu Cixiang said to Sun Yingyuan again: "Send someone to call the names according to the military registration list, and check off the names of those who are not here!"

"Yes!" Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan took the order and left.

Zhu Cixiang suddenly looked at Liu Liangzuo and said: "General Liu, I would like to ask you, why didn't you send someone to stop the thieves when they passed by your defense area?"

Liu Liangzuo said quickly: "The general sent people to stop him, but his subordinates were defeated and allowed the thieves to escape..."

Zhu Cixiang looked at the other two general soldiers and said, "Where are you?"

The two commanders, Shi He and Xiong Yi, said: "The thieves are too cunning and let them escape..."

Zhu Cixiang said calmly: "How many people do they have?"

Liu Liangzuo said without thinking: "Don't say fifty thousand! The bandits are powerful, Your Highness!"

The other two commander-in-chiefs also nodded. Commander-in-Chief Xiong Yi could not even say that there were less than 100,000 people.

Zhu Cixiang suddenly asked: "Did you choose a civil or military fight?"

A trace of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the three people, and then they said quickly: "I don't know what your highness means..."

Liu Liangzuo thought to himself, is the Crown Prince trying to show off to him or is he hinting at something? Does he want to use some money?
