Zheng Jinhong personally led 10,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army to attack from the direction of the forbidden pit.

This decision shocked everyone, and almost all the officers of the Zheng family army were opposed, but Zheng Jinhong ignored it and insisted on personally leading the army to act.

From this point of view, it is understandable that Zheng Jinhong personally led the army to act.

At the ugly hour, an army of 10,000 began to march from the direction of the forbidden pit.

A full moon hung in the sky, and the two thousand soldiers of the Zheng Jiajun scout battalion brought by Zheng Jinhong from Nanjing marched at the forefront, and they were responsible for exploring the way and removing all obstacles.

The difficulty of the march was beyond Zheng Jinhong's imagination.

The grass and trees in the canyon are particularly dense, and there are many dangers hidden in the grass and trees, some places are deep pits one step away, and they cannot be saved after falling, there is no road on the ground at all, two thousand soldiers in front of them to explore the path, and there are casualties continuously, some are in the process of cutting down grass and trees, accidentally fall into the deep pit, and some are groping the road, slipping into the abyss, what makes Zheng Jinhong even more annoyed is that the army is acting late at night, and many dangers can be found during the day, You can't see it at night.

The appearance of casualties made Zheng Jinhong's heart ache, although the scouts had already marked out the dangers in the valley, but when this road was really opened, some problems could not be completely solved in a short time.

In the valley, it was only five miles, but the 10,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army walked for two hours.

When I walked out of the forbidden pit, the time was already in the middle of the day.

In the middle of summer, the sky is already fully lit.

Zheng Jinhong, who was holding his breath during the march, vented his anger on the patrolling rogue.

He gave the order to wipe out all the rogues patrolling the perimeter of the forbidden pit, leaving not a single one behind.

The Battle of Tongguan in Zheng Jinhong's eyes. That's when it really begins.

The soldiers of the Zheng family army also held their breath, and in just two hours of marching, they actually lost nearly twenty brothers, and these people were all soldiers of the Zheng family army scout camp, and they were the elite of the Zheng family army.

The soldiers of the Zheng family army who walked out of the forbidden pit were like hungry tigers pounced on food. Pounced on the rogue who was patrolling the surroundings.

Niu Wancai arranged for 1,000 sergeants to patrol, and there were 500 sergeants patrolling near the forbidden pit, accounting for half of the entire patrol sergeants, and these patrol sergeants were also absent-minded, they had been patrolling in this area for several days, and nothing appeared, and the requirements for patrols were uninterrupted around the clock, and it was early in the morning. Even the iron man will slack off.

It was at this time that a large number of soldiers of the Zheng family army appeared, and these soldiers were not prepared to defend at all.

The disparity in numbers, combined with the fact that they carried it, made the patrolling sergeants the target of slaughter.

The attack was mainly completed by the soldiers of the scout battalion at the front, who did not use Mauser guns, so as not to cause a big movement, and the special bow and crossbow made by the Huaibei Firearms Bureau became their sharp weapon.

Bow and crossbow whizzed and flew towards the Liukou. Before the other party could resist, he was shot as a hedgehog.

Five hundred sergeants on patrol. No one fled, and in just half an hour, all of them were killed.

Zheng Jinhong did not consider the tragedy of the killing at all, he gave the order, and all the soldiers acted quickly, one of which was to completely kill the other patrolling rogues. The second is to take a detour to outflank the military camp of the Liukou.

The 8,000 sergeants of the Volunteer Army led by Niu Wancai launched an attack on time.

The formation of this attack was completely different, the 8,000 righteous soldiers were not exactly charging along the path in the valley, more sergeants were charging forward from both sides of the path, and the Tongguan stronghold was not far ahead. As long as they can take this most critical stronghold, they will be able to completely capture Tongguan.

After the charge began, something that Niu Wan didn't expect appeared.

The previous sparse resistance suddenly became fierce, and the oncoming was no longer a rain of arrows, but the sound of gunfire one after another, and with the sound of gunfire, the sergeants around Niu Wancai fell in pieces.

This scene made Niu Wancai a little stunned, but it was a short period of shock, and he soon understood that he had been fooled, either the reinforcements of the Zheng family army stationed in Tongguan had been in place, or the so-called resistance in front was a trap, and the purpose was to let the righteous army launch a large-scale attack.

didn't have time to think about it seriously, Niu Wancai quickly gave the order to retreat.

The confident assault ended as soon as it began, and the rebel sergeants retreated like a tidal wave.

Just as they were retreating, the Zheng family soldiers who were pursuing appeared around.

In terms of the speed of retreat alone, the soldiers of the righteous army were much faster, after all, the soldiers of the Zheng family army were either on the mountain or stationed in the pass, and it would take a certain amount of time to catch up with the retreating opponent.

Niu Wancai did not retreat as fast as possible, but urged the army to withdraw, watching most of the sergeants retreat towards the rear of the valley, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, this large-scale attack did not cause too much loss.

It seems that Gu Junen and Liu Zongmin's analysis is still correct, and if they are not convinced, they will not work.

The 10,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army led by Zheng Jinhong easily occupied the military camp of the Liukou.

There were only a thousand rogues in the barracks, and they didn't even have time to escape, and their speed couldn't match the speed of Mauser bullets, and some clever rogues chose to surrender on their knees when they found out that the situation was wrong.

The surrounding area of the barracks was quickly cleaned up, and Zheng Jinhong sat firmly in the military tent, waiting for the arrival of a large group of rogues.

The battle went smoothly, beyond Zheng Jinhong's imagination, he originally thought that the battle at the exit of the forbidden pit would be fierce, but unfortunately the soldiers of the Zheng family army who came down the mountain ended the battle with three strikes and five divisions, and then the fight was even more neat, and the patrol rogues were silently killed by the soldiers of the scout battalion, and the army was moving quickly towards the rogue camp.

The battle to attack the camp was much easier, most of the bandits were inside the tents, and there were less than ten sergeants patrolling outside, perhaps they thought that there were already thousands of bandits patrolling the periphery, and there was no danger in the camp.

The camp was surrounded, and some of the rogues who ran out of the barracks were shot before they could even take up arms.

The entire battle lasted less than an hour.

As soon as the camp was cleared, the scouts came to report that a large group of rogues were already coming in the direction of the camp.

All the soldiers of the Zheng family army were ready, and their goal was to completely annihilate the Liukou.

Zheng Jinhong is still commanding the battle in the Chinese military tent.

The 10,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army were divided into two parts, of which 8,000 people waited in the camp to exterminate the rogues who entered the camp, and the other 2,000 people were scattered on the periphery, focusing on killing the rogues who fled.

This idea of combat shows that Zheng Jinhong does not want many prisoners.

Niu Wancai led the soldiers of the righteous army to retreat to the camp, it was very quiet along the way, there was no ambush on the way to evacuate, the distance of five miles was not very far, it didn't take much time, the soldiers of the Zheng family army stationed in Tongguan would definitely pursue, the faster the retreat, the better.

Niu Wancai didn't have time to pay attention to the surrounding situation, he had already sent a thousand sergeants to guard the surrounding situation, it was said that there should be no problems, what he needed to do at this moment was to return to the camp and take away all the sergeants and grain and grass, those things that were too late to be transported, all of them were burned in one fire, and they couldn't be left to the Zheng family army anyway.

Seeing the moment the sergeant in front entered the camp, Niu Wancai breathed a sigh of relief, and the next thing was to organize all the sergeants to quickly evacuate in the direction of Ruicheng, fortunately, the loss of the former army was not very large, and he would not encounter Liu Zongmin's reprimand when he went back.

At the critical moment, Niu Wancai didn't think so much, maybe he had fallen into a panic, the thousand sergeants in charge of reconnaissance and patrol sent by him did not see a trace at the moment, although the interval between the attack and the retreat was not very long, but there should also be a sergeant to report the situation, all these details, in Niu Wancai's opinion, must be considered after returning to the camp.

A large number of sergeants entered the barracks, and Niu Wancai's tense face eased slightly.

Gunshots and screams were instantaneous, and chaos erupted in the barracks.

Niu Wancai, who was just about to enter the barracks, his face was pale, and he shouted out almost instinctively, asking the sergeants not to enter the barracks, and all of them withdrew in the direction of Ruicheng.

Just as Niu Wancai was shouting, the gunshots outside the camp also rang out, and the surrounding sergeants fell down with the gunshots, and the screams continued outside the camp.

Niu Wancai was a little stunned, in less than two hours, such a major change had occurred, he really couldn't figure it out, judging from the situation in front of him, the front army he led was surrounded by the Zheng family's army, and the camp was also captured by the Zheng family's army, so you can imagine what the ending is for the sergeants who stayed in the camp.

What scared Niu Wancai even more was that he didn't know all this at all.

At this time, Niu Wancai could no longer take care of the sergeants under his command, and he jumped on his horse and headed in the direction of Ruicheng.

Some sergeants followed him and evacuated on horseback in the direction of Ruicheng.

The war horse in front suddenly rolled over on its side, the sergeant rolled to the ground and was silent for an instant, and the war horse behind jumped high, not daring to continue running forward.

Niu Wancai desperately pulled the war horse, widened his eyes, and found that there were several straight ropes on the road ahead.

The cold sweat on his forehead instantly appeared, and the thought that came out of his mind was that the former army was completely surrounded and fell into the trap carefully designed by Zheng Jiajun.

Niu Wancai looked around.

It was at this time that more intensive gunfire rang out.

Niu Wancai wanted to shout again, but a cold taste hit his chest, his eyes widened, looking at the blood gushing out of his chest, he couldn't believe that everything in front of him was real...... (To be continued.) )
