"Mingjun is here!"

"The Ming army attacked at night!"

In the middle of the night, the rebel camp outside Pinglu City was suddenly broken by a shout, and then there was a huge commotion of people and horses. Wen Yun was so depressed that he had not fallen asleep for a long time because of his failure during the day. Now that he had just closed his eyes, he was awakened by the movements outside.

"What's going on!" Wen Yun asked loudly.

"It was our post that we found the Ming army's sneak attack and issued a warning. Now General Ma Qian and General Saihan Qian have brought their people out to meet the enemy." A personal soldier ran in to report.

"Sneak attack?" Qi Yun felt that his head was a little bit bigger. The world was really reversed. He brought troops to attack Pinglu City. Even if he didn't fight, he should at least be considered a strong side. The soldiers and horses of Pinglu City won a battle during the day, but they dared to attack at night at night. Do they really take the Ningxia army seriously?

As a long-time general, Qin Yun certainly would not be wary of his opponent's night attack. Before going to bed, he arranged for the scout to stare at the two gates of Pinglu City, and asked them to call the police in time once they found that the Ming army opened the gate. Now the scout has not reported the news, but the Ming army has already attacked his camp. What's going on?

"Tell Ma Zhengguo and Saihan not to panic! Keep the camp and don't go out to avoid being fooled." Wen Yun ordered while wearing armor in a hurry.

In fact, there is no need for the instructions of Wen Yun. All Ningxia officers and soldiers knew the reason that they could not go out to meet the enemy. The miserable situation of the cavalry team during the day was deeply engraved in everyone's mind. They believed that if they dared to run out from behind the fence of the camp, a bullet would definitely fly to the opposite side, causing them to die in a bad life.

"What's going on?" Qi Yun raised his waist and came to the edge of the camp under the escort of several personal soldiers. He got together with Ma Zhengguo and Saihan, who were also squatting behind the fence to watch the enemy.

"Report to the general. It was the Ming army in Pinglu City who surrounded us from all directions." Ma Zhengguo said in a low voice.

"When did they leave the city, why didn't our scouts discover it?" asked Wen Yun.

Ma Zheng Guodao: "I will suspect that they may have climbed the ropes and got off the city wall, avoiding the surveillance of our scouts. Xiao Ruxun has always been tricky. Since he is planning to launch a night attack, he will definitely think of us surveillance outside the city."

Ma Zhengguo said it very tactfully, but the subtext was criticizing Wen Yun for being simple-minded. He actually thought that if he was watching the city gate, he could guard against the Ming army's sneak attack. Since he was going to sneak attack, how could he go to the city gate to send troops?

Qi Yun also knew that he had made a mistake. In fact, the fundamental reason was that he did not believe that Xiao Ruxun dared to send troops to attack at night. Now the entire Ningxia Town is in the world, with only an isolated city like Pinglu City left. Xiao Ruxun's hands still lacked enough troops to defend the city, so there is no reason to come out one after another to provoke.

"How many people have come to the Ming army?" Wen Yun changed the previous topic and asked Ma Zhengguo.

Ma Zheng Guodao: "If you can't see clearly, you will know that there are figures everywhere outside, and the sound of footsteps on dead branches, at least...at least..."

"How about it at least?" asked Wen Yun.

"At least there are a few hundred people, right?" Ma Zhengguo said gritting his teeth. He was also a general who had fought wars. He had just been lying here for a long time. He also judged the strength of the other party. If he had thousands of people on the other party, it would be nonsense. In terms of these movements, it was just a few hundred people.

"Xiao Ruxun is really too bullying. Just a few hundred people dare to surround my camp." Wen Yun said furiously, "Tell me my order..."

"You can't join the general!" Ma Zhengguo and Saihan blocked at the same time, "The firearms in the Ming army are very evil. In this dark night, who knows where they will hide and fire guns? If our people leave the camp, they will be like prey in the forest, waiting to be hunted one by one by one by them."

"But I, the general of Ningxia Guards, with thousands of elite soldiers, hurried in the camp like this. Wouldn't it be a joke if it spreads out?" Wen Yun shouted with a stern look.

Ma Zhengguo had some culture and quickly advised: "The general of the army is not angry, the master should not promote his army, and the general should not fight in anger. The situation of the enemy and us is unclear at present. The general of the army should bear the momentary aura. When the prince sends reinforcements, we will step on the Pinglu City. At that time, we will peel the Ming army from a cramp to avenge our shame."

"Well! Okay, then according to your words. If it weren't for your hard advice, I would have personally led the athletes to fight." Wen Yun accepted Ma Zhengguo's opinion as if he was very reluctant.

"There are a lot of participating generals, and I admire them very much." Ma Zhengguo and Saihan praised him, but in his heart he felt disdainful. Bah, for the sake of our hard advice, we are just giving you a step. Is it good if we don't persuade you, will you dare to leave this camp?

The fact that Wen Yun did not dare to fight did not mean that the Ming army outside had no choice. Deng Kui, who was responsible for leading troops at night, settled the 500 soldiers who had descended from the city wall around the rebel camp, explained their respective areas of responsibility, and then ordered the formation to be called.

The slogan of shouting the formation was to prepare the soldiers participating in the war before leaving the city. Deng Kui ordered, and the soldiers shouted in unison:

"The big bear in Qiyun, I have a plant to fight with my grandfather!"

"Hunyun, a slave from the three surnames, your godfather told you to go home for dinner!"

"Fly Army, Grandpa just pulled fresh shit, come out and eat it!"

...

Originally, according to Xiao Ruxun's idea, he should have to shout some literary words, such as betrayal, wolf ambition, etc. As soon as he said his idea, Xu Guangzu directly rejected it. Xu Guangzu's reason was that the soldiers of the Ningxia army were not knowledgeable, and the Cangtou army was even more shameless. It was a waste to tell them about national justice. The most effective way was to scold their ancestors for eight generations and scold them whatever they were ugly. Only in this way could they be furious.

The soldiers in the Pinglu Institute were also vulgar people, and this way of cursing was best suited to their temper. The day before, the rebels attacked the city, which made the soldiers in the Pinglu Institute full of anger. At this time, it was just enough to vent their anger and curse them happily.

Sure enough, when he heard the scolding outside the camp, the rebels in the camp were furious. Someone stood directly on the fence and cursed loudly: "If you have the will, don't shrink your head and tail, come out to fight with your grandfather, three hundred!"

"impeach!"

The answer to him was a gunshot. Everyone saw a flash of fire in the grass hundreds of steps away, and the rebel soldier who jumped out to respond to the formation had fallen head-on.

"Chen Laosan was beaten to death by the Ming army!"

The rebels were in a mess. Someone came forward to check it out, but saw a big hole in Chen Laosan's chest, blood flowing out, and no longer breathing out of his nose.

"I'm a sage..." A rebel soldier who had a good relationship with Chen Laosan couldn't help but stand up and cursed outside.

"Bash! Bash!"

Two more fire lights flashed by, and two bullets flew towards the man. Fortunately, after this person scolded, he thought of the power of Ming's arms, so he quickly shrank his head, and the two bullets rubbed his scalp by. He reached out and touched him, and the top of his head was already covered in blood.

Hearing someone's head, the rest of the musketeers also spoke. They were lying about two hundred steps away from the camp, holding flintlock guns and firing at the camp. Only the sound of "criticism" sounds came one after another, and the rebel camp suddenly cried and called for their parents, as if some wild beast was biting people.

Wei Yun led the rebels to attack the city. He originally did not expect that Pinglu City would be so difficult, nor did he expect that the opponent would attack in reverse. Therefore, the rebels did not bring too much information to camp during this trip. The fences around the camp were built by temporary logging. These fences were barely useful to block the charge of men and horses. However, it is far from enough to block the attack of gunfire.

According to the conventional law, if the camping army does not choose to go out to fight when encountering an enemy attack, it should send soldiers to defend the fence walls to prevent the opponent from breaking the camp. Half of the bullets fired by the Ming army were on the wood that constructed the fence, and the other half passed through the gaps in the fence. They hit the soldiers hiding behind the fence.

"Oh, mom, I'm shot!"

"My legs..."

"I was beaten to death by the Ming army!"

"Come on, let us carry our little flag officer down..."

Qiyun, Ma Zhengguo, Saihan and others got a thick box plate to block in front of them. They could not do anything to guns and bullets. But the screams of the soldiers around them made them feel uncomfortable. The feeling of waiting for a beating was really unbearable, but what if they couldn't bear it? In such a rain of bullets, who dared to go out to invite a fight?

"General, please let your brothers retreat a little. This fence cannot block the Ming army's muskets." Ma Zhengguo suggested.

"What if all retreat, what should the Ming army come up?" said Wei Yun.

"That really doesn't work, let the brothers find something to block it." Ma Zhengguo said again.

Wen Yun thought for a while and said, "There is a way to let everyone take out the quilt for sleeping and spread it on the fence, so that the Ming army's bullets will not be penetrated."

In fact, someone had already thought of this method, but they just didn't dare to act without permission. With the order of Qi Yun, the rebel soldiers went back to the tent to get their quilts, covered them tightly on the fence, and then hid behind the quilt to avoid bullets. As for what these quilts would eventually be beaten by the Ming army's bullets, they no longer had to think about it. At this time, it was important to save their lives.

"Hu Baihu, it's your turn." Deng Kui saw that the rebels wrapped the entire camp with a quilt, and said with a smile to Hu Zixin, the Pinglu Suo Baihu who was cooperating with the cooperation.

"Deng Zhongjun, just see!" Hu Zixin agreed and issued an order to his subordinates. Dozens of Pinglu soldiers crawled forward and climbed fifty or sixty steps away from the rebel camp. Then he took off his bent bow from his back and put on an arrow wrapped in cotton cloth soaked in tinder oil.

"Light up, let it go!"

With the order of Hu Zixin, dozens of long arrows with fire flew towards the rebel camp. Quilts were laid on all four fences of the camp. The long arrows fell on the quilt, and the quilts were lit in an instant, and the flames rose into the air.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!" The rebels hiding behind the quilt did not notice the changes outside the camp. When the heat came to their faces, they realized that the other party had changed their tactics and the entire camp was surrounded by flames.

"Put the fire!" Wen Yun was about to cry without tears, his voice was hoarse. (To be continued...)
