Suddenly, a large number of cavalry were found. Zhang Lun first judged that this was not his own, and it was very likely that the rebels came to attack the camp at night.

A thought flashed through his mind: "Didn't it mean that the rebels have been defeated and their vitality is seriously damaged?"

Zhang Lun did not receive news in advance that the rebels would attack the camp.

The camp was loose outside and tight inside, and none of the officers and soldiers responsible for the rotation of the task were not notified, with the purpose of causing the illusion of relaxed defense in the camp. No one would have thought that Zhang Lun would appear on the front line of the battlefield.

Before Zhang Lun could think about how to deal with it, someone shouted in the distance: "Enemy attack!"

An arrow was fired in the air, and then red and yellow fireworks took off together. This was obviously not the rebels wanted to convey information, but the warning signal sent by the scouts under Chen Xi's command.

"Mr., we have to go back to the camp quickly."

The people next to them quickly reminded that they did not care about the enemy attack, but they only knew to protect Zhang Lun from invasion. Zhang Lun's personal guards were all Zhang Mao's personal guards, and their only task was to protect the safety of the prince.

It was dark and although Zhang Lun didn't know what happened, he was very calm and shouted: "I am ordered by Lord Shen to patrol the camp. How can I retreat easily when I encounter an enemy attack? Organize the formation and fight with me!"

After several victories, Zhang Lun was a little afraid of being afraid. He felt that he had never suffered any losses when fighting with the main force of the rebels yesterday. Now the rebel stragglers dared to come to attack the Ming army camp, or the camp guarded by Chen Xi himself was no different from seeking death.

It would be strange if someone knew that he was retreating in the face of trouble and did not laugh out loud. It would be a great harm to himself and the reputation of the Duke of England.

Zhang Lun was just a young man in his early twenties, full of energy and not so keen on the judgment of danger. He led his cavalry team to rush forward and fight against each other in close combat. Only then did he realize how naive he was. The number and elite rebels were far beyond his imagination.

Except for Zhang Lun who led his troops to attack, the rest of the patrol patrolmen chose to retreat and retreat behind the pre-arranged mine formation, waiting for the rebels to fall into the trap.

"Huh? Isn't that the patrol troops led by General Zhang?"

Liu Xu, who was commanding the battle at the gate of the camp, vaguely saw Zhang Lun leading his troops towards the enemy's attack direction and became nervous.

The deputy general under his command looked over and said in surprise: "Oh, it seems that it is really General Zhang... Why did he lead his troops to fight? Should he go and stop it?"

Liu Xu was anxious: "Why is Zhang Lun leading the camp tonight? Isn't it like seeking death now? Send someone to chase him back!"

"General Liu, you can't chase him. Lord Shen said that when the enemy attacks the camp at night, unless our army is fully prepared, we can only stabilize the defense first, and figure out the reality while killing the enemy on a large scale, and then counterattack after the enemy and our offensives rise and fall. Do not fight into a war of attrition from the beginning!"

Even his subordinates knew the secrets of night combat, so Liu Xu naturally would not know it, but he was afraid that something would happen to Zhang Lun... If Zhang Lun died in battle, it would be difficult for Chen Xi to explain to Zhang Mao, and this victory would also be cast a shadow.

Liu Xu cursed: "Where are so many rules? Zhang Lun is the prince of the British Duke's Mansion, and his safety is very important! Everyone, follow this general to save the person!"

At this time, Liu Xu was confused.

The combat plan formulated before was thrown out of the sky. Liu Xu was originally responsible for guarding the first front in the south of the camp and should have stabilized his defense at this time, but after discovering that Zhang Lun had a problem, he gave up the scheduled plan and chose to take the initiative. However, he also knew the measure. In order to prevent problems from occurring along the way, he simply left the main force to guard the camp and fought with the generals under his command, and he personally led some troops to rescue Zhang Lun.

...

...

In the dark night, the war was chaotic from the beginning.

For ordinary soldiers in the camp, they had never heard of any enemy attacks. They were woken up by their respective commanders in the tent, and they heard the sound of killing outside, and hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed out of the tent... Fortunately, when the war was about to be done, the officers and soldiers basically slept in a garment, and they just needed to put on their armor and charge into battle.

However, in such an extremely chaotic situation, it is difficult to organize an effective counterattack. The first thing they have to do is to stabilize their position.

"Brothers, take up the weapons, we are responsible for the West!"

"We go east, and that's our defense zone!"

"This is Xi! Bastard, don't look at the wrong direction, you are the people over there..."

The command and dispatch in the camp was far less easy than Chen Xi had predicted, and even caused chaos for a while. Fortunately, he had specially conducted night attack prevention training during the march, and the soldiers probably knew where they were going, but even so, some people still rushed around like headless flies.

"Which team is from? Don't jump around..."

There are special model soldiers arranged in the camp to command and dispatch soldiers who are confused. Some soldiers lost their direction in the entire team. Following their own fire commanders, the sergeant finds the team, but the sergeant gets lost first, resulting in disorderly advance and retreat! Or if they find the team, they find that the commander doesn't know where to defend. At this time, the model soldiers will go to guide and quickly enter the battle in all directions.

"boom--"

"Boom--"

There was a violent explosion outside the camp, but the mines buried before played a role.

Before the rebels entered the camp, they triggered landmines. The explosion in the night had a fatal impact on the rebels' self-confidence, because it meant that the official army was prepared, and they were likely to gnaw a hard bone next.

At the same time, the continuous explosions also hindered the rebels' further assault. They were always afraid of life and death. Seeing the brothers in front of them being blown up to pieces, they were still dead holding their bodies and screaming and wailing loudly. The feeling was extremely terrifying, so they naturally stopped.

In this way, the follow-up personnel can only try to find a breakthrough from other directions and complete the assault.

"kill!"

Although the rebels shouted loudly, they were filled with weakness.

During the continuous explosion, the first group of rebels rushed into the camp, and then the clanging sounds of swords and guns collided with the sound of killing. The two sides entered a state of close combat as soon as they came up. In this way, the power of the musket was greatly reduced and began to test the individual combat capabilities of both the enemy and us.

The troops led by Chen Xi are basically all military families and have received systematic military training since childhood. Their stinging and fighting skills are much better than the rebels composed of peasants.

After the rebels rushed into the camp, they found that the defense was fully prepared, and swords, guns, swords and halberds blocked the way. The last trace of luck in their hearts was also extinguished.

The first rebels rushing into the camp were less than 500, and they were quickly wiped out.

The rebels who rushed into the camp in other directions were not so lucky. At this time, the official army had already formed a formation. They were not only facing improved flintlock guns, but also short guns of the Folang machine. Various close-range shootings made the rebels feel that they were trapped in the Avici Hell. What's more, round black iron lumps fell from time to time in the air and violently exploded, taking away the lives of people around them. This bloody scene greatly shocked the rebels.

Most of the rebels were ordinary peasants, and the bandits who licked blood from the knife were only a few. In this situation, what they thought of was not a bloody battle with the official army, but turned around and ran away and left the Shura field that constantly devoured human lives.

"Bang bang--"

There was a lot of gunfire in the camp.

The tent of Chen Xi was brightly lit. Although the rebels outside the camp saw these, the soldiers in the camp were very encouraged to see the tent of the central army. Even if they were temporarily in an unfavorable situation, they could turn the danger into safety.

"Kill out!"

In the camp, Wang Lingzhi and Zhu Shan and his wife led the cavalry along the way and supported various battlefields at any time.

When they found that the rebels retreated like a tide, the couple took the lead and launched a counterattack outside the camp.

Zhu Shan, who was rushing to the front, waved his long sword and kept chopping the rebel leader off his horse. Wang Lingzhi, who was two or three positions behind, held a short gun in the Folang machine to cover the rebel soldiers who tried to approach Zhu Shan to chop the horse's legs and screamed loudly.

Zhu Shan is very good at fighting, but this is the first time she has encountered such a killing battlefield. However, she is quite qualified. She is a bandit, and it is not difficult to control horses and wield a long sword. Even though she is a little afraid, she has no time to think about it on the battlefield. In any case, you either die or I live. She can only wait for the battle to slowly think about it after the war.

The rebels who rushed to the camp quickly lost their fighting spirit. Except for those who were killed, the rest of them knelt down and raised their hands, and surrendered everywhere.

Wang Ling and his wife led the cavalry to penetrate the formation of the rebels and found that there were no one else in the future. After a little inquiry, they found out that the main attack direction of the rebels was the southern camp, which was a place where prisoners were imprisoned. The rebels' ideas were very simple. They first rescue their own people, try to arm these people, and then fight with the official army.

However, the Ming Dynasty's official army was not a vegetarian. Although the rebels were fierce, most of them were farmers who had just put down their hoes. Faced with the high-profile official army, they could not make any work.

The war was one-sided in the middle of the war. Wang Lingzhi led his troops around the periphery of the camp and rushed to the south. When he arrived at the ground, he realized that he was late. The bandits attacked the camp had been surrounded and the officials were captives.

Wang Lingzhi did not see the familiar general here. He thought carefully about the line of defense that seemed to be Liu Xu's responsibility. Just as he was about to find someone to ask about the situation, he saw Song Shu bringing people over and shouting when he saw him, "Where is General Zhang?"

Wang Lingyi was stunned: "Which general Zhang?"

The situation was very chaotic, and the officials rushed out of the camp to pursue the rebels. Wang Lingzhi was confused and he was confused about who Song Shu was talking about.

Song Shu said angrily: "The Prince of the British Duke's Mansion!"

Wang Lingzhi couldn't answer this question, but heard a nearby general shouting: "General Liu went out of the camp to rescue him, but he has not returned yet. He should be on the periphery of the camp... When the rebels attacked, General Zhang was the first to lead the army to rush out!"

"Damn it!"

Song Shu was very annoyed and rushed out of the camp with a team of men.

At this time, Hu Songyue and his people arrived, and Wang Lingzhi complained to him: "Look at his arrogant attitude, I don't know who he is scolding... On the battlefield, doing his own part is the foundation. How many people can you control?"

Hu Songyue said: "General Xiao Wang, is General Zhang okay?"

Wang Lingzhi became increasingly confused about what was going on. Why was everyone caring about Zhang Lun? Hu Songyue patiently explained: "Deputy General Song was responsible for notifying the generals in the Jing camp about the enemy's attack. It seems that he forgot to tell General Zhang that if something happened to General Zhang, he would have big trouble... He was scolding himself, not someone else!"

Hu Songyue was also very nervous and quickly led people to rush out of the camp, but Wang Lingzhi didn't want to join in the fun.

A large number of troops came over and disarmed the rebels, and another three or four thousand were.

Zhu Shan said to Wang Lingzhi: "Or why should we go out to the camp and have a look?"

"No."

Wang Ling's way, "Senior brother asked me to check for shortcomings and make up for the gaps and prevent the front from collapsing. What should I do if I do that? I will patrol the neighborhood now to see if there are still enemies who have not retreated. As for saving people, let them deal with it!"

...

...

Zhang Lun was eventually found. Although he was injured and his injuries were still serious, he at least saved his life. Liu Xu, who had taken people out to rescue Zhang Lun before, was also seriously injured.

When Chen Xi arrived at the wounded barracks, Zhang Lun and Liu Xu were both receiving treatment. Song Shu stood aside and blamed himself. He made an instructor as the Beijing camp to be responsible for internal communication, but did not inform Zhang Lu of the rebels' upcoming attack on the camp, so that Zhang Lun could take risks. In the end, Liu Xu, the border army, was rescued desperately, which made him very ashamed.

"grown ups."

Zhang Lun was injured in several parts of his arms, waist, and thighs, and wrapped them like rice dumplings. When he saw Chen Xi coming into the tent, he greeted him weakly, and wanted to get up to salute but found that he could not do it.

Chen Xi signaled Zhang Lun not to act rashly, and Liu Xu next to him said: "Sir, I have not protected General Zhang well. General Zhang does not know that the rebels will attack, so..."

When he said this, he was stuck. Although Liu Xu made contributions to saving Zhang Lun, he made mistakes in defending against enemy attacks due to his impulse. The southern camp was almost captured by the rebels. Although the final result was to wipe out the rebels, this was not what Chen Xi wanted to see.

Liu Xu understood his merits and demerits, and hoped that his merits would cover up his mistakes, so he did not expect any other rewards.

Song Shu bowed his fists and said, "Sir, it was the fault of the general. The general did not inform General Zhang of the rebel attack in time, which made him in danger."

"What are you doing?" Chen Xi shouted sternly, "As generals of the army, you should know when to do what. Is it time for you to review your faults here, or even bargain with me? Who gave you such power?"

Chen Xi was the youngest among these people, but had the highest status. No one dared to question his words. When he started a fire, everyone in the army felt scared.

Chen Xi sneered: "Look at you, have you done your job well? Zhang Lun was responsible for patrolling the camp. When he was attacked by the enemy, he took the initiative to attack without receiving the order from his superiors! On the other hand, you? Liu Xu, as the front line commander, you should have stood on the front line of guarding the camp, but you ignored your job in order to save people. If the defense line collapsed due to your mistakes, the soldiers of the three armies would also be buried here for your intentions?"

Under Shen Xi's questioning, Liu Xu felt dull and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. He was respected in the army, but he was scolded so much that he was scolded. It was not said that Chen Xi was deliberately looking for trouble, because everyone knew that Chen Xi was telling the truth, and saying these things at this time was more like angering him to not fight.
