Chapter 40 Fu Zonglong’s Night Attack

It seems that God is also sad.

A gust of wind blew, and it started to rain. Fu Zonglong first felt a chill on his face, and then wiped the raindrops on his face. Although it felt like the autumn rain made the temperature much colder, it was more of a desperate situation.

The ecstasy of life.

"Sir." A guard immediately placed an umbrella on Fu Zonglong's head.

Fu Zonglong raised his arms, pushed the umbrella aside, and said: "God help me, with this timely rain, we will be saved."

What was Fu Zonglong afraid of because he didn't dare to break through? It was none other than Li Zicheng's cavalry. If the ground becomes muddy after a heavy rain, it will not be able to allow a large group of cavalry to gallop. Although it is difficult to march with infantry, it is even more difficult to defeat me.

options.

Fu Zonglong's ecstasy is that with these rains, the severe drought in Henan should be alleviated.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

The rain not only fell on Fu Zonglong, but also on Chuangying and Caoying.

Zhang Xuan couldn't sleep when it rained.

Without him, he surrendered three thousand troops and had no decent rain gear. Many people were sleeping in the open. Zhang Xuan had to come here to borrow some tents. Finally, Zhang Xuan dismantled all the shield carts and built several rain shelters.

The shed is just finished. We still need to move camps everywhere. The land in Henan is flat, but that doesn’t mean there are no places where water accumulates. The terrain doesn’t seem to have much ups and downs, but when it rains, you will know where is high and where is low. There are many places where water accumulates.

There was a lot of water and it was impossible to camp.

Zhang Xuan was busy for most of the night before finally settling down.

The next day, the rain did not stop, and the army would not attack the stronghold. Anyway, after several attacks, the Qin army and the people in the stronghold killed each other a lot, and they all became enemies. Li Zicheng's goals were also defeated. He also estimated that

There was not much food in the village, so the attack was turned into a siege.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

I want to forcefully trap Fu Zonglong to death.

The rain stopped in the evening of September 16th. This autumn rain was not too heavy, but it soaked the ground. The cloth shoes on Zhang Xuan's feet were walking in the mud, and a foot of mud was brought out with each foot.

As a last resort, Zhang Xuan changed into straw sandals, which made walking easier.

Luo Yujiao was indeed right. The most consumed thing during the march was shoes. All the cloth shoes Zhang Xuan brought from Nanyang were worn out. And the shoes Zhang Xuan is wearing now were all made by Luo Yujiao for Zhang Xuan when he was newly married in Songshan.

Zhang Xuan naturally cherished his wife's handiwork. As for other soldiers, those who had wives, such as Cao Zongyu, naturally had cloth shoes to wear like Zhang Xuan, but without wives, they had to wear straw sandals.

Zhang Xuan's tent is not very waterproof. When it rains, it becomes a heavy rain outside and a small rain inside. Xiaoya is not around, and some of his books are also wet. When it stops raining, he will

The books were spread out to dry, I lit a lamp and was reading.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Suddenly hearing the shouting of killing, Zhang Xuan was shocked. Without saying a word, he rushed out, only to see the Qin army camp, the fire was soaring into the sky, countless people were running around, and even spread to Zhang Xuan's camp.

, Zhang Xuan was suddenly shocked. He didn’t know whether it was the Qin army’s rebellion or someone else.

Something happened that made Zhang Xuan suddenly think of the security guards in the camp. You must know that Zhang Xuan's own old subordinates in the camp now only number 500 people. Except for the two to three hundred personal guards around him, they all dispersed.

Officer, if the security guards take the opportunity to cause chaos, the situation will be simply out of control.

"Send the order and go back to the camp. Anyone who dares to leave the tent will be killed. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be killed. Anyone who dares to gather a crowd will be killed." Zhang Xuan said with a cold face, spitting out the word "behead" one by one. He knew that now,

There was no room for weakness in this situation. He felt

He felt as if he was sitting on a pack of explosives. Once ignited, he would be blown to pieces. He didn't care what happened to the Qin army, just suppressed all the chaos in the camp.&1t;i>&1t

;/i>

Zhang Xuan said to the guards beside him: "The sword is unsheathed and the bow is strung. I want to patrol the camp."

Just when Zhang Xuan was patrolling the camp with great fanfare, a man in Wang Jincai's tent said: "Sir, please be careful, now is a good time to escape. If I am trapped in the bandit army, I will not be able to tell the future clearly.

."

Wang Jincai's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he couldn't make up his mind for a moment. He was not willing to take refuge with the bandits, but he was even less willing to be in a different place.

Living is better than anything else.

Suddenly, Wang Jin heard the sound of Zhang Xuan patrolling the camp. More than a hundred soldiers shouted: "Behead those who dare to leave the tent, behead those who dare to talk nonsense, and behead those who dare to gather people."

Wang Jincai said: "No, the opportunity has passed today. You should go back quickly."

It doesn't matter how many people there are in the camp, what matters is how many people are at hand. Zhang Xuan has already gathered his personal guards, and there are only a few people around him. There are many people, but it doesn't matter if they can't gather them. These two

Three hundred people can eliminate them before anyone can gather together. Moreover, the three generals sent by Zhang Xuan each have their own characteristics and are not vegetarians. The opportunity has been lost and there is no other way.&1t;i>&1t;/

"But?" The man still wanted to speak, but he heard someone say from outside: "General Zhang has an order, please go and see Wang Jin."

Wang Jincai was suddenly startled. Looking at the person next to him, his thoughts were extremely confused. For a moment, a cold light flashed in Wang Jincai's eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: "Brother, I'm sorry."

The torch beside Zhang Xuan soared into the sky, illuminating the dark night.

Hundreds of people surrounded Zhang Xuan, all with their swords and guns unsheathed and their long bows strung. In the dark night, there was even more of a chill, as if they were ready to fight at any time.

Wang Jincai took a package, crossed several human walls, left all his guards outside, came to Zhang Xuan, knelt down on the ground, opened the package in his hand, presented it with both hands, and said: "I pay homage to the general,

This man's evil words have deceived the people, and he will eventually be killed."

Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wang Jincai without saying anything. He just glanced at the head. Zhang Xuan was a little familiar with this person. He seemed to be an officer among the security guards. He had some prestige among the soldiers.

.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

However, Zhang Xuan did not pay attention to him because he was already dead. Dead people will not cause trouble. Only living people can.

And dead people can't speak. How did Zhang Xuan know that he was here to persuade Wang Jincai to cause rebellion, not an accomplice recruited by Wang Jincai? The world has long since wiped away all Zhang Xuan's innocence, and he has long passed what others say.

When everyone believes it.

He said nothing and could only look at Wang Jincai with sharp eyes.

Wang Jincai knelt in the mud, feeling a chill on his neck, as if a knife was about to cut him off at any moment, and he was sweating all over his body.

"Get up." Zhang Xuan said: "Next time, remember to stay alive. Those who know will think that General Wang is eager to perform meritorious deeds, and those who don't know will think that General Wang is killing people and silencing them."

"Yes." Wang Jincai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will definitely remember this."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Zhang Xuan finally decided to let him go, not because he believed that Wang Jincai would not rebel, but because he could not guarantee that he would be loyal if he chose another person. In any case, Wang Jincai was showing his loyalty to himself at this moment.

You can't kill people just because of suspicion. Otherwise, how will you unite people's hearts in the future? After all, Zhang Xuan still needs to use these three thousand soldiers. Moreover, Wang Jincai's prestige among the soldiers, killing him will only intensify the conflict.

"However, Wang Jincai is not suitable here anymore." Zhang Xuan thought to himself. He decided to kick Wang Jincai out of his camp as soon as he had time. However, now he still had to rely on Wang Jincai's prestige to suppress the surrender.

After Zhang Xuan calmed everyone in the camp, did he know what happened in the Qin Army camp?

"Why did Fu Zonglong attack at night last night, destroy the Qin army camp, and flee towards Xiangcheng overnight?" Zhang Xuan was shocked, and he couldn't help but admire him. Zhang Xuan felt that if he were in Fu Zonglong's position, he would never be able to find such a desperate situation.

Survive. Fight a way out of death.

"You bastard. Fu Zonglong was trapped for more than ten days. He even killed all his horses. He is so exhausted that you can't stop him. What do I need from you?" Li Zicheng said angrily.

At this moment, in the camp of the Qin army, Li Zicheng led the generals at all levels who broke into the camp, and Luo Rucai led the generals at all levels in Cao's camp. The people kneeling below were the generals of the Qin army. Many of them were originally from the Qin army.

officers, some of whom were selected from the camps.

Anyway, no one could stop Li Zicheng from being furious.
