The soldiers at the north gate tied a white cloth to their sleeves.

They and the teenagers of Chenjia Village gathered together and lined up in a neat phalanx, waiting for the arrival of other officers and soldiers.

The first to arrive was the soldier Cao Pengshi, who originally led five hundred powerful private soldiers, together with Zhang Yong, waiting for the soldiers to escort Chen Xu and Dian Wei over in the downtown area.

But he didn't want to, he didn't wait for anyone, but waited for the news that Chen Xu and Dian Wei were robbed.

After hearing the news, Zhang Yong was furious, so he asked the soldier Cao Pengshi to go to the north gate with five hundred strong private soldiers, wanting to unite the officers and soldiers guarding the gate and take down Chen Xu and others.

Soldier Cao Pengshi looked at Chen Xu standing in front, but the officers and soldiers were lined up neatly and squarely, standing behind him. Looking at the corpses of the powerful private soldiers who fell everywhere, my heart sank.

He knew that the officers and soldiers of the North Gate had defected!

Now on Chen Xu's side, the number of officers and soldiers who have defected to Puyang, plus the children of Chenjia Village, has exceeded 900. On the other hand, on the side of the soldier Cao Pengshi, there are only 500 strong private soldiers of different good and bad.

There is no doubt that compared with Chen Xu's side, Bing Cao Pengshi's side can be regarded as a rabble.

Feeling the murderous aura emanating from Chen Xu and the others, Bing Cao Pengshi trembled in his heart, and he didn't care about arresting Chen Xu, but turned around and ran.

"Kill!"

Chen Xu was overjoyed when he saw that Haoqiang's private soldiers were collapsing without a fight, and hurriedly commanded the officers and soldiers who were lined up to kill them with the children of Chenjia Village.

The crowd was like a tiger descending from the mountain, killing the powerful private soldiers.

Chen Xu and Dian Wei were seriously injured and couldn't come forward to fight, so they were all watching from behind.

Chen Hu is brave, a spear blooms bloody flowers on the battlefield, and there is no enemy under him.

The officers and men have already been on the battlefield, and now they can be called strong pawns in the army. The powerful private soldiers had empty equipment, but they had no will to fight, and their number was less than that of Chen Xu and others. In addition, the soldier Cao Pengshi fled without a fight, and the dragons were leaderless, and the army was defeated like a mountain.

The one-sided war did not last long, and most of the powerful private soldiers had already been killed and wounded. Chen Xu looked at the battlefield and found that his formation had dispersed, and many soldiers ran far away to chase and kill Haoqiang's private soldiers.

Chen Xu was worried about the arrival of the officers and soldiers at the other city gates, although he was confident that he would surrender to his former subordinates. But on the battlefield is not a child's play, if they don't turn against each other. With only these people under his own hands, it is difficult to completely occupy Puyang.

Not only that, when the Haoqiang come back to their senses and gather all the private soldiers of the Haoqiang's family, I am afraid it is a force that cannot be underestimated.

Chen Xu didn't dare to slack off, and passed down the military order, asking Chen Hu to gather his team, maintain the formation, and be ready to fight at any time.

Chen Xu beckoned everyone to come and said, "I just asked the defected soldiers, since I was put in prison, the previous establishment of officers and soldiers has been broken up. Many of the officers and soldiers at the East Gate are the same robes as the officers and soldiers behind us used to be. ”

"There are also a lot of soldiers, who are old subordinates of Ah Hu and Brother Guofu. I calculated the time, and it won't be long before the soldiers from the other gates will arrive. ”

"If all the officers and soldiers come, the strength will far exceed ours. Coupled with their disorganization, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to bring down my former subordinates. ”

"If we go directly to the east gate, we will kill a hundred powerful private soldiers with lightning speed. Then move it with affection, know it with righteousness, and the brothers behind him will persuade each other again. The officers and soldiers at the East Gate are very likely to defect. ”

"Again, if we surrender 700 officers and soldiers, we will have 1,500 men and horses under my command. At that time, even if the powerful private soldiers gather together, we will not be afraid of them. ”

"In this way, it will be easy for us to seize Puyang City!"

When everyone under his command heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and showed joy on their faces.

They were willing to follow Chen Xu to seize Puyang City just now, but they were actually a little panicked in their hearts.

After all, Puyang is the capital of a county, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Yellow Turban Army, all of whom have returned with a feather, not to mention a few hundred of them?

However, Chen Xu has not lost since his debut. Although these soldiers had doubts in their hearts, they were also willing to believe Chen Xu. Chen Xu's words were tantamount to giving everyone a reassurance.

What an exciting thing it is to occupy Puyang! Although the Yellow Turban Army swept the world and broke through some cities, there were still very few such things as breaking through the capital of a county.

Although they were also Puyang soldiers before, they were not the masters of Puyang, but they were lowly existences. Now, if they can break through Puyang, they will be the real masters of Puyang City.

The army responded with a bang, lined up in a neat line, and marched towards the east gate. Chen Xu and Dian Wei were also helped by them to two docile horses and followed among the crowd.

However, it was said that the heroic private soldiers led by the soldier Cao Pengshi were killed by Chen Xu and others and fled in all directions. Some of the routs ran into the East Gate guards who were leading troops to support.

You said that the East Gate guard, why did he come to support?

It turned out that Zhang Yong was still not at ease after seeing Chen Xu being left and sending soldiers to Cao Pengshi.

He was afraid that Chen Xu would run away and return to Luoyang to be punished by Zhang Gong, so he asked people to send orders to the guards of the other three gates and let them lead troops to arrest Chen Xu.

The East Gate guard received the order and did not dare to slack off, but he didn't expect that he didn't go long before he encountered the rout of the soldier Cao Pengshi. After hearing that all the defenders of the North Gate had defected and killed the strong private soldiers. For a while, the look in his eyes when he looked at the officers and soldiers in the county became wrong.

He was afraid that these subordinates of his would also defect like the officers and soldiers of the North Gate at that time. In this case, his life may be in danger.

After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth after all, and did not continue to advance, but let the 100 powerful private soldiers in the army seize all the weapons in the hands of the rest of the officers and soldiers.

Although the officers and soldiers were angry in their hearts, they did not dare to disobey the orders of the generals. I could only look at this general with resentment, and I was also puzzled in my heart. Until now, they did not know about the defection of the officers and soldiers of the North Gate.

The general looked at the people with resentful faces, and his heart was even more uneasy. He is the henchman of Bing Cao Pengshi, who has followed Bing Cao Pengshi since he was a child, and has a deep relationship between master and servant, so he was entrusted with important tasks.

However, he had little talent of his own. Fearing that the officers and soldiers would rebel and kill him, he gave a wrong order.

He first confiscated the weapons of the officers and soldiers, and then let a hundred powerful private soldiers surround the officers and soldiers, trying to tie them all up.

For officers and soldiers, during this period of time, the lord they respected was framed and imprisoned for no reason. Then he separated himself from the familiar robes, broke them up, and was placed in different places.

As a veteran who came down from the battlefield, it is tantamount to a great shame to have his weapons confiscated. What's more, they don't look down on their superiors in the first place.

If it weren't for Chen Xu's extremely strict management of the army before, maybe just now, these officers and soldiers who were full of resentment had already begun to mutiny.

Now, this general still has to tie himself up and others, how can they be willing to obey?

A brave soldier kicked over the powerful private soldier who wanted to tie him up, dodged the opponent's weapon, and hacked him to death.

The soldier's face was hideous, and he shouted to the shocked officers and soldiers: "The dog officer confiscated our weapons and wanted to tie us up, did he want to kill us all?" ”

He waved his arms and shouted loudly: "Brothers, General Chen treats me well, and now that the general has been framed, life and death are now." Why don't I kill this dog officer, and then go to rescue the general and get out of Puyang? ”

As soon as his words fell, before the officers and soldiers could react, they heard the general shouting at the hundred powerful private soldiers: "The officers and soldiers are reversed, kill them on the spot!" ”

When the powerful private soldiers heard the order, they immediately took up their weapons and killed the unarmed officers and soldiers.

Haoqiang private soldiers have always looked down on these officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers also look down on them, and these Haoqiang private soldiers who have never been on the battlefield have a long-standing grudge.

Now that they have finally found an opportunity to kill officers and soldiers with impunity, why don't they do it?

The officers and soldiers were caught off guard and were killed by more than a dozen people, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were all furious when they saw this.

Many of the people who were killed were in robes who shared the hardships of other officers and soldiers, and their own lives were also threatened, how could they sit idly by?

The battle broke out suddenly, although the officers and soldiers were outnumbered and all of them were extremely brave, but they were unarmed, how could they be the opponents of the powerful private soldiers? Not long after, dozens more were killed and wounded.

At this moment, the sound of neat footsteps sounded, and the ground actually shook slightly.

I saw Chen Hu leading the defected officers and soldiers, stepping on neat steps, and appeared in everyone's field of vision. When the officers and men saw Chen Hu, Chen Xu, Dian Wei and others, they burst into tears.

Many people shouted: "General save me!" This dog thief has seized our weapons and wants those private soldiers to kill us and others! ”

Chen Hu and the others, who had seen these people killing each other, were still a little confused, but when they heard everyone's words, they knew what was wrong.

Those officers and soldiers who defected at the north gate were furious when they saw the slaughter of their robes, and they did not wait for the main general to speak, so they shouted and killed the powerful private soldiers.

Seeing this, the Haoqiang private soldiers were terrified in their hearts, and after the general took the lead and ran, they scattered and fled.

The officers and men whose weapons had just been seized took back their weapons, and their eyes were red, and they went to hunt down and kill the powerful private soldiers who had fled in all directions.
