The first thousand one hundred and forty-six chapters

The dark night was like a big pot covering the entire earth. It was a night without moonlight and stars. After a busy day, most of the soldiers of Jiangning Army, except for the guard post and a few patrol sergeants, have already entered their dreams.

It is naturally impossible for tens of thousands of troops to camp like civilians to build a camp. The army to camp must fully consider various factors such as water sources, terrain and defensive conditions, and arrange troops according to local conditions. Therefore, the camps of more than 20,000 troops occupy several square kilometers.

Near an unknown hill to the west, there are more than 3,000 people from the baggage battalion and tens of thousands of troops of food, equipment, materials, and other things, huge tents and carts connected into a large area.

In the dark night, Tian Jianxiu, wearing a rare iron armor among the thieves and wearing red scarves, stood under a big tree and looked at the camp that was only one mile away, and after a long time, he turned around and asked a whistle in cotton armor beside him, "Have you found out clearly? Is this really the location of the Jiangning Army's baggage camp?"

He nodded vigorously: "If you go back to Master Tian, ​​the villain has already found out. This is indeed the location of the Jiangning Army's baggage. There are a steady stream of large carts and supplies coming and going here every day. Even if the villain is blind, he will not admit his mistake."

"good!"

Tian Jianxiu looked back at the large crowd of dark people who were quietly lurking behind him, and a grim smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Come on, pass on my orders and start the attack according to the plan."

"clear!"

"Boom...boom..."

In the early morning, the soldiers in the camp were sleeping soundly. Suddenly, a series of explosions sounded, followed by waves of shouts of killing. As the explosion sounded, the entire Jiangning army agreed to boil like boiling water.

Yang Feng, who had been busy all day, was sleeping soundly in the tent. Suddenly, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside, and then Song Ye's voice rang outside, "God, get up quickly, something happened!"

"I understand, wait!"

Yang Feng's calm voice came out from the inside. Within a few minutes, Yang Feng, who had finished dressing, walked out from the inside. Seeing that Song Ye and all his family members were already arranged neatly outside, he immediately asked, "What's wrong? Why is it so noisy in the camp?"

"Report to the Duke of the Kingdom." Song Ye said solemnly: "Just just came to report that they were attacked by the bandits. Now the bandits are attacking the camp. The brothers of the baggage can't resist it anymore. General Gou has just brought people to him."

"The baggage battalion was attacked?"

Yang Feng was shocked when he heard this. You should know that the baggage camp was stocking up almost all the food and grass and most of the supplies. Once these supplies were destroyed by the bandits, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Yang Feng's face became ugly. He was really careless. He didn't expect that the bandits stationed in Anqing Mansion would dare to take the initiative to attack the army that was several times more than him. It seemed that their chief general was really a figure.

At this time, another burst of rapid footsteps came, and Yan Di and other officers and generals rushed over. After seeing Yang Feng, they hurriedly greeted him. Yan Di asked: "Duke, now the baggage camp is in a hurry. Should we send some people to support them?"

"No."

Yang Feng shook his head: "There were more than 3,000 people in the baggage camp, and Gou Xingma brought his 5,000 troops to support him. It was more than enough to deal with the bandits. Sending people there at this time will not only be of no use, but it will not be able to perform. In this way, you will immediately strengthen your defense and prevent the bandits from attacking in the chaos, especially the artillery camp.

"clear!"

Yan Di was shocked again. There were more than 100 cannons and more than 100,000 kilograms of gunpowder in the artillery camp. If something happened, it would be fatal. He agreed and immediately rushed there.

"Kill!"

"The Lord Duwei said, whoever rushed in would be the first to reward 500 taels of silver, and killed a Jiangning army to reward 20 taels of silver, will never break his promise!"

In the baggage camp, torches illuminated the entire baggage camp. In the fire, piles of ragged bandits were constantly rushing to the gate of the camp, and behind the camp, the soldiers of the baggage camp who had been alarmed were constantly shooting forward with muskets.

Although the accuracy of the musket was not very high in the dark, under the dense firepower, bandits continued to fall under the gun.

Looking at the fire and white smoke rising in the darkness, the bandits watching the battle were staring blankly, and people whispered in low voices from time to time.

A whistleman wiped his forehead and shook his head and said, "The firearms of Jiangning Army are indeed sharp. Fortunately, it is not ours to attack, otherwise the casualties would be too great."

"It's true." A chief of the department said with a serious expression: "The King of Chuang and the Military Advisor knew that Jiangning's arms were sharp, so he did not choose to fight with them in Anqing Mansion, but instead attacked Ningguo Mansion and Huizhou Mansion. Now it seems that the King of Chuang and the Military Advisor's resolution is correct."

The Shou President who was speaking just now said again: "Master Tian, ​​since we know that the Jiangning Army's firearms are too sharp, should we let the people in front stop? If we continue to fight, it will be a waste of our lives."

Someone next to him said, "Ma Zhanbiao, when did you become a bodhisattva's heart? Those people are just mud legs in Anqing Mansion. No matter how much they die, what does it have to do with us? They are not your relatives, why do you care about so much?"

"Go to your mother, you are their relatives." The whistleman named Ma Zhanbiao cursed and then sighed: "I just can't bear to see so many people die in vain. They are all raised by their fathers and mothers, why bother?"

Tian Jianxiu looked at Ma Zhanbiao deeply and said lightly: "This plan was set up at the beginning. If these people don't die, how can we get out? Are you, Ma Zhanbiao, planning to come to the palace for everyone? If so, I can help you."

Ma Zhanbiao immediately shut up. The reason why he said this was just a little unbearable, but it did not mean that he was willing to die for those people. People are selfish, and few people are willing to sacrifice themselves to help others.

Seeing Ma Zhanbiao shut up, Tian Jianxiu said lightly: "Okay, we have seen the power of the Jiangning Army. Now everyone is evacuating almost in an orderly manner. Everyone is careful not to make any noise. Otherwise, if everyone is alarmed, everyone will die! Okay, hurry up and shout!"

Under Tian Jianxiu's order, the bandits left here one after another, leaving only a few supervisory teams still urged the refugees to continue to attack the Jiangning Army's camp.

When it was lightly dawn, the gunshots that had been resounding for most of the night finally stopped.
