Hong Chengchou's army slowly entered the city. The one who walked in front was a small group of cavalry. There were not many, only less than one hundred cavalry. Most of them were light cavalry, used as scouts before the war, and used to harass them during the war, which was basically useless. This was also helpless because the court was extremely short of horses, and several horses were sent to Liaodong with a gaze. Only generals and scouts were qualified to ride horses in the mainland.

The group of cavalry passed by Zhu Yuanzhang and others, and did not even call him. After entering the city, they immediately spread out on both sides of the city gate and lined up next to the road. Seeing that the city was full of village warriors, and the village warriors on the city wall were all holding crossbows, these light cavalrymen couldn't help laughing and said, "It's so boring that a group of village warriors even put forward such a genre."

Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to pay attention to them.

After the cavalry, it was Hong Chengchou's core team. The team was quite powerful. Two thousand infantrymen were arranged in neatly and walked into the city gate hole. Hong Chengchou rode his horse and walked in front of the team. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Rujie, who was standing in the city gate hole to welcome him, and tried his best to enter, saying with a bad face: "Where is Li Qingshui? Where is the Hua County Magistrate? Why didn't they come to welcome me? You are the only ones?"

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed and said, "The two county magistrates were seriously injured when they fought against Zhu Ba in Baishui. They are now recuperating in the backyard of the yamen. They are unable to come to welcome the Governor Da Ren, so they ask the Governor Da Ren to welcome him on their behalf, and ask the Governor Da Ren to forgive his crimes."

Hong Chengchou nodded, and he knew. His attitude was very arrogant, but the arrogance of entering the family made sense. He was the military governor of five provinces and the Minister of War. He was an old official. In the northwest, he could shake dozens of small officials away with a casual cough, let alone white bodies like the tutor of the militia or the outsider of the business clerk.

Hong Chengchou didn't even stop at Zhu Yuanzhang's body. He was too lazy to ask Zhu Yuanzhang about the military information of the thief army, and his eyes looked directly towards the direction of the county government. He had come here before. The location of the county government could be found without any entry and leading the way, so he couldn't use Zhu Yuanzhang to wait. He said in an impatient voice: "Get back!"

In his mind, only Li Qingshui, who was a rising star in the Donglin Party, was qualified to talk to him in this county. Therefore, he ignored Zhu Yuanzhang and others and walked forward slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to retreat to the side of the street, pretending to be standing solemnly to see him off, but in fact he retreated to a safe place. This deserves Hong Chengchou's luck. If he was not so arrogant, he asked Zhu Yuanzhang to come with him to meet Li Qingshui and control Zhu Yuanzhang to his side. Perhaps the situation would have been reversed. However, Zhu Yuanzhang calculated that such officials of the Donglin Party looked down on Bai Zi and had no interest in paying attention to them, so he successfully stayed in a safe area.

One hundred cavalrymen rush to open the way for Hong Chengchou, and two thousand infantrymen lined up in four rows on the street. In addition to these soldiers, there were three thousand infantry outside the city, which was the relatively poorly equipped Xi'an Guards.

The officers and soldiers dragged them into a long queue, the one in front had already extended into the center of the street, and the one behind had not yet walked into the city.

Although Hua County is a relatively large county town, the streets are not very wide. In this era, the streets were generally only enough for two carriages to run in parallel. When four heavy infantry rows took to the streets, the streets were almost full.

In the houses on both sides of the street, the gunmen were already nervous. They observed the officers and soldiers exposed outside through the gaps in the windows. Many gunmen put the guns in their hands on the windows and stretched out a little gun barrel from the holes in the window paper. The crossbowmen lying on the roof did not dare to take a breath and tried to hide their bodies as much as possible.

The ambushed was completely unaware of it, and his face was relaxed. Instead, he planned to ambush them. He was extremely nervous, afraid that he would make a mistake and make them fail to ambush. All the soldiers hiding in the dark were sweating in their hands.

Bai Yuzhu was also in the ambush queue at this time. He was ambushing in a tofu shop on the street, surrounded by a group of bandits from the Bai family army. Thinking of the person he ambushed was Hong Chengchou, the sweat flowed out like he didn't have money. All the vests were soaked in sweat. If you take off your clothes and twist them, you can definitely twist out the water.

Feishanhu and Dahonglang hid in a cloth shop opposite Baiyuzhu Street, and whispered to each other. Feishanhu said, "Brother Wolf, don't hesitate later, chop it to death, chop it, chop it, chop it."

The big red wolf whispered, "Brother Hu, do you really want to chop it to death? Brother Zhu has always treated prisoners very favorably, so why do you have to chop it to death to Hong Chengchou?"

Feishanhu shook his head and said, "You stupid wolf, don't you know what Hong Chengchou is? This bird is cruel and ruthless, and he doesn't keep his word. He often kills surrenders and kills prisoners. He is simply a scumbag, even more unlucky than us thieves. Brother Zhu said in person that anyone can be captured as a prisoner, but Hong Chengchou must not be asked, just chop it to death."

At this time, the big red wolf said again: "Brother Hu, I think Brother Zhu has the intention of recruiting Cao Cao into our army. These two are not ordinary. If they enter our army, Brother Wang, Brother Miao Mei, Brother Leng Feng, and will our status decline?"

Feishanhu gave the big red wolf a "slap" and cursed: "Silly wolf, it's not that he has great ability, he must be at a high position. Do you understand? We joined the gang early, just rely on our qualifications, and that status is unbreakable. What do you want to do so much? Besides, we used to be two farmers who dig the land, but now we have farms, gardens, servants and maids. Why are you fighting for?"

The big red wolf said, "Brother Hu has taught me a lesson. I want to do so much, just chop him up."

At this time, the cavalry at the front of Hong Chengchou's army had basically reached the corner of the long street, and the two thousand infantry behind had basically squeezed into a whole long street, and the one behind was still in the city gate hole... The long snake was running through, and it could be said that there were flaws everywhere. At the corner of the long street, just turn your head and you could see the five hundred infantry of Zhu's army lined up to greet him.

The ambush has reached a juncture that is about to break out.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Rujie and others had already climbed the city wall unknowingly, standing among the crossbowmen, and invisible murderous aura began to spread from the crossbowmen Baishao, all the crossbowmen were waiting to take action.

At this moment, Hong Chengchou suddenly frowned. He was not a civil servant who grew up in a peaceful and prosperous era, but a veteran who had experienced many battles. That invisible murderous aura did not escape his keen intuition, and his nerves all grabbed: "The stop and stop in front... something seems to be wrong here..."

But he was slower after all. At the end of the long street, a cavalry turned around... This is the signal of taking action!

Zhu Yuanzhang's order to the soldiers was: when the first enemy soldier turned the street, he launched an ambush.

I heard the cavalry who was turning the corner of the street screaming shrillly, and as his horse ran back from the corner of the street, the cavalry's body was on the back. He was stabbed in the chest at a very close distance, and he died so much that he could not die again. It turned out that Yang Hong was standing at the corner of the street with a gun, waiting to stab him.

The screams rang out, and the cavalry in front were in chaos.

When the chaotic roar just reached Hong Chengchou's ears, a large number of crossbow soldiers suddenly stood up on the roofs on both sides of the street. The sound of vibrating strings sounded, and the crossbows on both sides shone towards the center of the street at the same time... There are less houses these days, and they are only two or three floors, so the distance between the roof and the center of the street is not far. At such a close distance, the arrows with iron arrows with iron arrows are enough to penetrate iron armor. The crossbows are pouring out, and four rows of heavy infantry that are neatly walking in the center of the street immediately lay down a large area.

The soldiers on the chest and abdomen were shimmy and the back could still struggle a few times. If they were shimmy on their heads or faces, they would be killed without even humming.

Hong Chengchou was shocked. His reaction was not fast enough. This wave of arrow rain almost killed him. Fortunately, the servants around him reacted very quickly. While the cavalry in front of him screamed, he dragged Hong Chengchou off his horse and pushed him into the belly of the war horse. At the same time, he covered him with his body. A servant soldier who protected Hong Chengchou was caught in an arrow and rushed on Hong Chengchou's body to death.

"Enemy attack! Respond to the battle!" Hong Chengchou roared.

"I'm in a hurry!" The soldiers also started roaring. They relied on their instinctive reactions to roll towards the ground. Some soldiers with bows opened their bows and shove to the roof next to them. Some soldiers raised their spears and stabbed them on the roof.

Just as they were planning to counterattack, three hundred and fifty muskets stretched out from the windows on both sides of the street. These muskets were obviously the fuses lit when the first cavalry turned the corner. At this time, the fuses were just burned out, and the three hundred and fifty muskets were all blowing, and the sound of the guns was heard.

The power of this thing bombarded in at close range was one level higher than a crossbow. Within a few steps, it can be said that it was a god blocking the gods and a Buddha blocking the Buddhas. Since almost all the officers and soldiers were piled in the middle of the street, densely packed and there was no place to hide, this wave of guns almost failed, just in line with the saying "Each bullet eliminates an enemy's invasion". White smoke filled the long street, countless officers and soldiers were killed and injured, and blood flowed into a river.

"There are gunmen in the room, and there are crossbowmen on the roof!" The general flags and small flags among the officers and soldiers roared angrily: "You can't stay in the middle of the street, hurry up and rush into the house, kill the gunmen and seize the house."

"rush……"

"If you don't rush out, you'll be dead..."

The officers and soldiers were already fighting for beasts. They understood that if they did not rush into the houses on both sides of the road at this time, they would be beaten into honeycombs by crossbows and musket soldiers, and there was no possibility of being spared.
