Chapter 201 The Defeat of Tiger Power

Xiao Tianjian personally led Li Shuanzhu's third battalion as the leader. The two township barracks covered the flanks and approached the distance of 60 steps of the officers and soldiers. Three hundred firearms carried out several rounds of platoon shooting at Hu Dawei's central army in the form of three-stage strikes. How could Hu Dawei ever seen such a fight? Although the officers and soldiers are also equipped with bird shots, because of the poor quality of the birds and frequent accidents, many birds are abandoned by the officers and soldiers. More importantly, the three-eyed shots with fast shooting speed are used. However, the killing and injuries that can be caused to the Xing Tianjun at a distance of 60 steps is very limited, and because it cannot be refined. Indeed, the shooting accuracy is very different, so that as soon as the two armies fought, hundreds of elites placed in front of the battle were cut down in front of the Xing Tianjun's dense platoon gun. Seeing that the elites were destroyed, the officers and soldiers behind them were suddenly in chaos.

After the setback in the fight, Hu Dawei was worried that he would be completely disabled if it went on like this, so he ordered the officers and soldiers to retreat. Just when Hu Dawei commanded the soldiers and horses to begin to retreat, Xiao Tianjian ordered the generals and soldiers of the Xingtian Army to shout at the same time: "The officers and the officers and soldiers were defeated! The officer was defeated..."

Although Hu Dawei's troops were actually frustrated and suffered great losses at this time, under his constraints, his soldiers and horses under his command had not yet collapsed. However, after receiving the order to retreat, the soldiers and horses behind were slowly retreating, but they heard the thunderous cheers of the Xing Tianjun, in the unknown situation of the war. Next, the rear officers and soldiers messed up first, and began to squeeze and want to speed up the speed of escape. As a result, the big array of Hu Dawei suddenly messed up and began to be turbulent like waves.

Xiao Tianjian took this opportunity and once again sprinkled Wang Chengping's cavalry. He followed the officers and launched a fierce attack. The officers had already begun to be chaotic. After being rushed by Wang Chengping's cavalry, he was immediately completely messed up. At this time, Xiao Tianjian led the three battalions of the Xing Tian Army to fight against the tiger. The Ministry launched a chase, and thousands of members of the Xingtian Army fell behind a large number of officers and soldiers who had been killing the army of Hu Dawei and fled.

After Hu Dawei led his troops to run for more than ten miles, he finally collected the defeated soldiers and stabilized his position again. He camped on the ground overnight. He planned to spend the death with the Xing Tian army and bought time to let Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guangxian help the two soldiers, give the Xing Tianjun a front and rear attack, and destroy the main force of the Xing Tian Army in this area. .

But Xiao Tianjian doesn't let Hu Dawei's wishes come true! What he lacked most was time. That night, he braved the severe cold and personally led the army to the barracks against the tiger. After night, the shortcomings of the birds were exposed. Thinking that a large group of people carrying a fire rope gun in the night, they would be found far away. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian's raid on the officer's army camp this time ordered the fireman hand to be behind and not to light the fire. , personally led the 200 knife player, each carrying several iron Thunderbolt cannons, and each person hid a pipe containing fire velvet under the rattan card. The whole group of people hung their whole body, and the whole army secretly approached the periphery of the Hu Dawei official camp without lighting a fire, and then the 200 rattan hand crawled forward little by little on the cold ground, like an ant. It squirmed outside the officer's camp.

After carefully crawling to the corner of the officer's camp, the 200-knife player carefully crawled to the corner of the officer's camp, covered it with the rattan card. At the same time, he shook the fire fold in the pipe and ignited the Thunderbolt cannon. He got up and ran to the officer's battalion quickly, and tried to throwing these Thunderbolt guns at the gate of the officer's camp.

Hu Dawei was not unprepared for the Xing Tianjun to steal the camp, and arranged a lot of sentry officers and soldiers inside and outside the battalion. When the 200 Xing Tianjun lit up, the officers found their bodies, immediately began to intercept them with arrows, and sounded gongs to warn, but in the dark, They only felt some hissing things falling on the camp gate, and then they began to explode one after another. After more than 200 Thunderbolt cannons exploded one after another, the patrol officers and soldiers in the camp were killed and injured a lot on the spot, and even a large section of the camp fence was blown to the ground.

After the knife player of the 200 Xingtian Army hit, he did not retreat. He continued to ignite the Thunderbolt gun he carried with him and threw it into the official camp. While covering himself with a shield, he rushed into the Hu Dawei camp. He fought with the first officer soldiers who got up to intercept them. Although there were not many 200 people, but These two hundred were veterans, very fierce. The peripheral soldiers raised their shields and waved knives against the rushing officers and soldiers, and the soldiers behind kept lighting the Thunderbolt bombs and throwing them into the crowd of the officers and soldiers.

In the face of such a weapon, the officers and soldiers were blown upside down, and immediately fled into the camp. At this time, Xiao Tianjian led the remaining Xingtian soldiers who were hiding nearby, and shouted in unison that Zhentian followed the 200-knife players into the camp of the officers and soldiers.

Hu Dawei was awakened by the sound of a rumble explosion in his sleep. He immediately got up and hung up and summoned the soldiers to resist. Why were they in a hurry? After Xing Tianjun rushed into the camp, as long as he found a large group of officers and soldiers gathered, he immediately threw Thunderbolt guns. The violent explosion overturned the officers and soldiers to the ground in pieces. In a short time, the officers and soldiers Convenience completely collapsed and fled in all directions in the darkness. In the chaos, there was even a fratricidal incident. My own people were happy with their own people.

Seeing that the general trend was gone, Hu Dawei rushed out of the battalion with a small number of officers and soldiers and retreated in the direction of Zezhou. Xiao Tianjian, with the generals of the Xing Tianjun, defeated a Hu Dawei's army and fled overnight, killing more than a thousand enemies and more than a thousand prisoners. The rest of the officers and soldiers fled to Zezhou in a swarm of bees. Or escape into the nearby mountains.

Hu Dawei was lucky. After escaping from the battlefield, he collected the defeated soldiers all the way. Finally, when he returned to Zezhou, he let him return to more than 3,000 officers and soldiers, and awkwardly avoided to the city of Zezhou.

The officials in Zezhou were almost scared to cry. Three officers and soldiers set out from Zezhou to suppress the Xing Tianjun, but they were defeated more and more than once. This time, they finally looked forward to a large number of officers and soldiers, and the leader was the famous Shanxi general Hu Dawei, but in the end, they were still defeated by the Xing Tianjun, so they did not dare to neglect, even He hurriedly sent someone to send the news to Wu Jing, who was sitting in Pingyang Prefecture.

Wu Wei was also shocked when he heard the news. Then he hurriedly sent someone to inform Xu Dingguo, Zuo Guangxian and He Renlong, so that they must be more careful and not follow the mistakes of Hu Dawei. At the same time, Hu Dawei was ordered to continue to collect the remnants in Zezhou and wait for disposal.

After leading the army to defeat the officers and soldiers all the way to Hu Dawei, Xiao Tianjian simply cleaned the battlefield, and immediately took the prisoners and captured materials and quickly returned to Shuangfengzhai, and entrusted the task of suppressing the remnants of the local officers and soldiers to the local township soldiers hiding in the mountains.

When Zuo Guangxian and Xu Dingguo learned the news, Xiao Tianjian had returned to Shuangfengzhai, and he did not stay in Shuangfengzhai. He divided the artillery into two, half followed him back to Lianhuazhai, and half led Huang Shengqiang to stay in Shuangfengzhai. At the same time, Liu The soldiers and horses of the fourth battalion of the soldiers just formed under Bao's command also brought back to Lianhuazhai, and the rest of Li Shuanzhu's third battalion and Zhao Erlu donkey and the two township barracks led by Jiang Cheng were also left to Li Shuanzhu. Li Shuanzhu presided over the defense of Shuangfengzhai, while Lianhuazhai was presided over by him himself.

After Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guang first learned the news of the defeat of Hu Dawei, they were shocked, and then they were furious. They said that this group of thieves was too arrogant. On the one hand, they let a small group of thieves drag down their army, but on the other hand, they concentrated their forces to defeat the officers and soldiers all the way to Hu Dawei in one fell swoop. If so, in the future Aren't these thieves making a fuss? In particular, Xu Dingguo and Hu Dawei are both colleagues in Shanxi, and they are also his generals. Can Hu Dawei not be angry if he has suffered such a big loss?

So he immediately sent someone to Pingyang Mansion to plead for Hu Dawei, and asked Wu Jing to give Hu Dawei a chance to atone for his sins, so that Hu Dawei led the remnants to come and join them and attack the nest of the Xing Tian Army together.

After receiving Xu Dingguo's plea, Wu Yu approved his request and sent someone to pass orders to Hu Dawei, so that he could immediately rectify his defeated troops in Zezhou, and led his remnants to Yangcheng and Xu Dingguo to work together, allowing him to commit crimes and attack the enemy's nest.

After the Hu Dawei heard the order, he did not dare to neglect it. He rectified the collapsed soldiers and immediately took a detour to Yangcheng County to meet Xu Dingguo.

On the ninth day of February, Hu Dawei led his troops to Yangcheng County to meet Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guangxian. Xu Dingguo looked at the defeated soldiers led by Hu Dawei and almost lost his nose. Speaking of which, Hu Dawei brought more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, but these guys were just like beglings, and half of them were actually small. People were empty-handed, or with a wooden stick. When they were defeated that day, these guys couldn't take anything with them. Some people even lost their weapons on the way to escape. Hu Dawei was not replenished with new supplies in Zezhou, so he fell into such a virtue. It didn't look like an officer and army at all, but like a group of people just The slingers gathered together are average.

When Hu Dawei arrived here, Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guangxian discussed how to deal with Xing Tianjun. After their local exploration in the past few days, the people in all townships and villages of Yangcheng County escaped. They couldn't even catch some people to help, and Xing Tianjun also shrank into Lianhua Village and Shuangfeng Village in the south of the county. He made a posture to resist stubbornly, and even Dongye Town was abandoned by Xing Tianjun.

Xing Tianjun's move was fierce enough. Before the officers and soldiers came, they came to the local area. Except for some empty villages, they left nothing for the officers and soldiers, which made the officers and soldiers very angry. Originally, they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the Xing Tianjun and plunder on the way. On the one hand, they supplemented their On the one hand, military food can also take the opportunity to make some money, and even catch some women to have fun. However, I never thought that the people in the area under the control of Xing Tianjun hid early in advance, so that they could not grab anything along the way, but they could not divide the soldiers into the mountain to search for the people who fled into the mountain. So I was suffocated all the way.

After discussing with Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guangxian, they began to think of joining forces to attack the old nest Lianhua Village of the Xingtian Army, but later they learned that the Shuangfeng Village of the Xing Tian Army was also particularly important for the Xing Tian Army. Almost all the weapons used by the Xing Tianjun were produced in Shuangfeng Village. If he If we join forces to fight Lianhuazhai in one place, they are afraid that the thieves of Shuangfengzhai will attack behind them. Therefore, after discussion, the two decided to act separately. Xu Dingguo will take the tiger's great power to attack Shuangfengzhai, while Zuo Guangxian led one to attack Lianhuazhai and was determined to beat Xing Tianjun this time.

After the strategy was decided, the officers and soldiers immediately took action. While looking for a guide to understand the situation of Xing Tianjun in the local area, they divided their troops and headed for Lianhuazhai and Shuangfengzhai.

Not to mention that there are really some people in Yangcheng County who are willing to help the officers and soldiers to deal with the Xing Tianjun. The officers and soldiers did not make much effort, so some people took the initiative to find us. It turned out that when Xiao Tianjian swept Yangcheng half a year ago, some large landlords took the initiative to submit to Xing Tianjun and promised to pay land tax to the Xing Tianjun. As a result, it was preserved, but many of these people were not willing to pay. After all, most of them belonged to the Shilin class. Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, these families did not have to bear taxes, but under the jurisdiction of the Xing Tianjun, they had to be punished according to their actual number of acres of land every year. Tianjun paid the San Narita tax, so they all paid the meat pain.

But in the past, Xing Tianjun firmly controlled this area. These people did not have the strength to fight against Xing Tianjun, so they have always been very honest. They let them pay taxes, and they can do whatever they want. Their performance is still moderate.

Now when I heard that the officers and soldiers had sent tens of thousands of troops to suppress the Xing Tianjun, some of these people were ready to move and planned to take the opportunity to help the officers and soldiers fight a turn-over battle. Therefore, when the Xing Tianjun ordered the hard wall to clear the field, some of them went against the yang and waited for the arrival of the officers and soldiers.

When the officers and soldiers came, some of them jumped out and took the initiative to send people to find Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guangxian, asked to show them the way, and told the officers and soldiers what they knew about the Xing Tianjun, and even told the officers and soldiers the places where some people in the nearby mountains were hiding. Ding Guo and Zuo Guang were happy first. They immediately sent troops to follow their instructions and went into the mountain to raid several people's hiding places. They not only robbed some food, but also robbed a group of women, and killed hundreds of villagers. They cut off their heads and brought them back with lime as the number of beheadings.
