rebirth [rebirth]

On September 21, two months after they came to Hongdu, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze left this beautiful Jiangnan water town together with hundreds of soldiers.

Just like the three teams who left in batches before, they had only one goal this time, and that was the largest barracks in Da Chu ever—the Guangqing Camp.

This time, with the 4000 people in Rong Jingxuan's hands, it's time to see the truth.

The Guangqing camp has [-] troops, and there is also Sun Zhao, the founding general of Dachen.

Rong Jingxuan and his last team were all under the name of sending horses.

So as soon as they left the city, the troops were divided into two groups. The [-] cavalry with horses rushed to Changle County with Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze, while the remaining [-] infantry were divided into [-]-man squads and traveled day and night upside down.

Most of them are orderlies and fire fighters, and they stay at the end to ensure their safety.

Needless to say, eating and sleeping all the way, when Rong Jingxuan arrived at Suyang City in Changle County with a hundred cavalry, it was only September [-]th.

They didn't go directly into the city, but got off the official road and went directly to Cangya Mountain.

The secret sentinel sent earlier reported that out of Sun Zhao's [-] troops, [-] were guarding Guangqing City, and the remaining [-] were in the Guangqing Camp.

Because there were still thousands of captured Da Chu soldiers in the camp, they didn't dare to withdraw their troops at all, so they had to stick here to enslave them.

Whenever thinking of these soldiers, Rong Jingxuan would thank Chen Shengzhi for his small belly.

Just because he almost fell into the hands of Guangqing soldiers, he didn't take their lives directly, but was humiliated in the Guangqing camp instead.

If these people can be rescued, they will be the elite troops that threaten Da Chen the most.

Chen Shengzhi probably never imagined that he was so angry that he left such a big disaster for himself.

Rong Jingxuan commanded the soldiers to go up the mountainside, and then set up camp directly, planning to lie in ambush in the mountains for a few days.

The hundreds of cavalry and soldiers from the Firearms Battalion who came earlier have already arrived here, and tomorrow the dark sentry will go to their pre-designated location to search for them. After the three teams meet, they can make preliminary preparations.

On the night of the second day, Ning Yuanshi and Ding Kai, who had previously led the soldiers, both came to Rong Jingxuan's place to deploy strategies with them.

In fact, they had talked in detail before coming here.

Four thousand to ten thousand is indeed a huge gap.

But Rong Jingxuan knew very well that the firearms in the hands of Sun Zhao's team were similar to their current ones.

Because it was to defend against captive rebellion, most of them were infantry and archers, and there were not many cavalry and firearms soldiers.

But Rong Jingxuan and the others were different. They had [-] cavalrymen, [-] firearms battalions, and [-] archers. Except for the archers' lack of weapons, each of the firearms battalion could hold a firecracker.Rong Jingxuan brought a lot of firearms to Hongdu this time, in order to preemptively capture Guangqing in one fell swoop.

The topography of the Guangqing camp has also been repeatedly deliberated by Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze many times.

It is hundreds of miles away from Guangqing City. When the battle really started, it was impossible for the [-] city guards to receive news and send reinforcements in a short period of time. Rong Jingxuan would also arrange archers on the official road and a few small roads. Lay in ambush to prevent Sun Zhao's soldiers from going to Guangqing City for help.

The remaining firearms soldiers and armed archers were all arranged in the sniper position on Cangshan Mountain, and waited for their vanguard cavalry and infantry to draw some of the defenders of the Guangqing camp over and kill them directly.

They mainly attacked the north gate of the camp. Because it was adjacent to Cangya Mountain, there were not as many guards as the other three gates.

Rong Jingxuan and the others specially trained soldiers on the mountain before, also in order to be able to ambush the enemy smoothly on the mountain.

Although this arrangement seems simple, it is very effective. Even if Sun Zhao is not fooled and refuses to send people to pursue them, they can add another thousand infantry to directly attack the north gate.As long as the north gate is broken and the captured soldiers inside are released, Sun Zhao can't control how the battle will turn out.

In fact, Sun Zhao's defenders had wolves in front and tigers in back. Not only did he have to fight back against the attack of Rong Jingxuan's unknown team, but he also couldn't let the guarding captives of Da Chu escape. There were many constraints in the arrangement of troops.Although the number is superior, the actual available troops are not many.

Rong Jingxuan had dealt with him a few times and knew him quite well.

In his previous life, he didn't have a firearm in his hand, and he didn't have Dai Xian's team, but he still defeated the Guangqing camp by fighting hard.Although his side suffered heavy losses, he won in the end.

This does not mean that Sun Zhao is worse than him, on the contrary, Sun Zhao's deployment at that time was very strict.Just because he was attacked on both sides, and finally failed after losing more than 1000 soldiers of Rong Jingxuan, he was asked to release the prisoners in the camp.

As long as the people inside can come out, Sun Zhao has no chance of winning.

If he lost, he lost. He didn't mess around, and he didn't let the soldiers inside kill the prisoners on the spot. Instead, he fled to Luoping with the only remaining old troops.

As an opponent, Sun Zhao is worthy of their admiration.

If it's not an opponent, he would like to make friends with him.

Putting such a general in Guangqing to guard the captives is really a shame.

But no matter what, they have to beat Guangqing down before they can think about anything else.

In the tent, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze stood together, beside Zhong Qi, Ning Yuan Ershi and Ding Kai.

Ning Yuan Twenty led the cavalry, and the 600 men had already belonged to Ning Yuanwei, and they were deployed by him.Ding Kai is temporarily in charge of the musketeers and the firearms battalion, while Zhong Qi has no soldiers under him. His job is to be a supervisor, and he is in charge of all the affairs of the entire barracks.

Rong Jingxuan looked at them, pointed directly at the north gate and said, "Let the sentries check out tomorrow to see how many people there are in each gate. If possible, it's best to know Sun Zhao's location and arrest him for life."

Ning Yuan Twenty made a "promise", and he was also in charge of the sentinel.

After Rong Jingxuan finished speaking, he glanced at Xie Mingze.

Xie Mingze understood, and directly circled a few points on the map: "Captain Ding, let the soldiers go to these places tomorrow to have a look. If it is easy to ambush, the blue ones are the archers, and the red ones are the firearms battalion. Pay attention, The positions of the firearms battalion are relatively steep, so you should let the soldiers be careful."

Ding Kai took the order and did not make any comments.

In their team, the division of labor is actually very clear.Xie Mingze has the best memory of the map and the trend of the mountains, and he usually does ambushes and defenses, while Rong Jingxuan has more experience and has the strongest memory for positions. He mostly arranges forwards, wingers and large troops.

As for Lu Jiming, he was the one who led the soldiers to carry out the orders.

Rong Jingxuan was very optimistic about him, and he was the one who accompanied him all the way back then, fighting his way through the crisis-ridden Dachen and protecting him all the way to the gate of Yong'an City.

Although he did not succeed in the end, he had seen Lu Jiming's ability before.

After all these arrangements were made, Rong Jingxuan asked Zhong Qi: "How many bombs do we have now? The ones with long fuzes."

Zhong Qi didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "There are 260 and three."

Rong Jingxuan nodded and began to communicate with Xie Mingze in a low voice.

"I don't think Sun Zhao is that stupid. Even if he sends people to chase after him, there won't be many. That would be too inefficient."

Xie Mingze nodded. Sun Zhao followed Chen Shengzhi all the way into Yong'an. The victory in Guangqing was his masterpiece.

He is a very cautious person, he will not easily believe in any ambush, but once the message is confirmed, he reacts very quickly and can make deployments in a moment.

To be honest, he was really a strong enemy, but Rong Jingxuan felt that they had defeated him before, and this time they could still do it.

"Leave one hundred archers and one hundred firearms battalions each on the mountain, and another five hundred infantry for protection. You asked the bomber just now, do you want to attract enemies from other gates?"

Rong Jingxuan nodded and said with a smile: "The enemy is in the light and I am in the dark. The time and place are right, and we still need peace."

"Tuning the tiger away from the mountain, intersecting the false and the real?" Xie Mingze muttered in a low voice, "I'm afraid this person refers to Sun Zhao?"

Rong Jingxuan laughed three times and said, "Yan Zhi also knows me."

Two days later, the sentry sent the message back.

The Guangqing Day Camp is adjacent to Cangya Mountain in the north. Due to the steepness of the mountain, there are only about [-] soldiers guarding it, and the Jiulian River is in the south.

Of the remaining 6000 people, there are about [-] on the east and west side of the camp gate, and another [-] people are in the camp, and [-] people are dispatched randomly.

As for where Sun Zhao was, the sentry did not find out.

The seemingly 8000-strong army actually looks weak.

After hearing the report, Rong Jingxuan re-discussed with Xie Mingze: "Sun Zhao is a very cautious person, and it may not be easy to lead him into Cangya. We have to make a button and let him get in by himself."

Xie Mingze nodded, pointed to the map and said, "Guangqing Camp is indeed a good place, with an excellent location, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Sun Zhao must leave at least 500 people on each side to guard the camp gates, so 2000 people will be removed at once. The rest of them are infantry, and the odds of winning against cavalry are very low unless he has an iron shield."

Rong Jingxuan said: "I think we can be more direct."

Xie Mingze looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Rong Jingxuan smiled, pointed to the center of the camp and said, "Don't forget, here are all our people."

Xie Mingze's eyes lit up, he quickly adjusted his thinking, and said directly: "We will leave 700 people in ambush on the mountain, and send 2000 people to directly attack the north gate. Move quickly, and the remaining [-] people will ambush at any time."

Rong Jingxuan said: "Exploding the cannon is the key. Sun Zhao doesn't have this in hand. I'm afraid they don't know that there is such a thing as bombing the cannon and the long-sealed letter. If they want to come to the north gate to increase personnel, if they come from the inside out , we have to open the gate of the camp. If we come from outside the camp, we will directly plant bombs on the east and west sides. And... the Guangqing camp is not for guarding the inside from the outside, it is for guarding the outside from the inside, Sun Zhao is now like this, in fact, he is under the enemy's riding a tiger with his back and belly."

After talking like this, it seems that everything can be done, and Guangqing can be captured tomorrow, Xie Mingze was heartbroken, and couldn't help asking him: "How do you and I arrange it?"

Rong Jingxuan paused, thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Ah Ze, can you stay on the mountain?"

Xie Mingze's expression changed, he frowned and looked at him silently.

Rong Jingxuan sighed, pulled him to sit beside her, and held his hand tightly: "Ah Ze, I'm really scared. You have died in front of me twice, if you do it again, I will go crazy. "

Xie Mingze was very sad, why didn't he want to live safely with Rong Jingxuan, without these dangers, and without the fear of his life.

But they can't.

The people of Da Chu are still waiting for them, and the mountains and rivers of Da Chu are crying day and night.

They couldn't abandon Da Chu, so they put themselves at risk and tried to regain everything that should belong to Da Chu's people.

"But Jingxuan, I can't always wait for you at the back. I don't know if you are injured or if your life is in danger. That is more terrible than letting me die by myself."

"Jingxuan, I am the one who can fight the enemy side by side with you. I am not a woman and I don't need your protection."

"On the contrary, I want to protect you."

Xie Mingze said a lot in one breath.

Rong Jingxuan's expression changed, he was silent for a long time, and finally hugged him into his arms: "Okay, then you will lead a thousand soldiers to ambush the reinforcements on the east and west sides, and you promise me that you will put yourself first."

Xie Mingze finally smiled: "I promise you."
