Chapter 541 Rescue President Chen and go home!
At the beginning of the Mao Dynasty, Zhang Cheng didn't feel sleepy at all, so he wore a cloak and a cloak, accompanied by Zhang Chengfang and Zhang Jintai, and went outside the tent. They stood on a high platform and looked to the south.

Feeling that there was a vast darkness in front of him, but he couldn't see anything, Zhang Cheng asked in a deep voice, "Is there any news from Zhang Guangda and Lin Fangping?"

Zhang Chengfang replied: "Going back to my father, there is no news yet."

Zhang Cheng nodded, and said: "Jin Tai here is enough, you take someone to Che Ying to see what is going on with Zhang Guangda and Lin Fangping, hurry back!"

Zhang Chengfang left as promised, and Zhang Jintai persuaded from the side: "Father, it's cold outside, let's go back to the army tent and wait for news."

…………

Tong Shoushan led a team of more than a hundred cavalry soldiers and cavalry to follow the general sentry Liu Zongmin back to aid Wang Daying.

Chuang Wang's camp is right in front of him, the camp is full of fire dragons, people are shouting and neighing, and they are already in a mess. Just now, some bandits who escaped were ordered by the chief sentry Liu Zongmin to kill them on the spot.

But the words they said before the temporary linger in the ears of Tong Shoushan and the others for a long time. Bao Jiqiang was originally holding back, but at this time he also rode up to catch up and communicated with Tong Shoushan with his eyes. They are all the same Worry mixed with surprise.

Bao Jiqiang rode his horse up to Tong Shoushan and said softly, "Master Shan, do you think King Chuang will really be shot?"

"Pooh!"

Tong Shoushan spat out the grass leaves he was biting in his mouth, and said in a rough voice: "Fart, what is Chuang Wang? There are so many soldiers protecting him, why would he be shot and killed so easily, most of them are rumored by the defeated soldiers."

He went on to add: "However, it is not impossible to be shot!"

…………

After Liu Zongmin heard the news of the attack on King Chuang's camp, he just ordered the soldiers to get up and stand by. After all, it was not yet dawn at this time, and he didn't dare to act rashly when he didn't know the specific situation in King Chuang's camp.

What's more, he has been with King Chuang for more than ten years, and King Chuang has been through many disasters and chaos. Even if there were government troops who attacked and robbed the camp at night, he believed that there were nearly ten thousand troops on King Chuang's side, as well as Liu Fangliang, Gu Ying, Yidougu and other ministries are camped nearby, ready to support at any time, it should be no problem.

In addition to ordering the soldiers to get up and stand by, he also sent two cavalry squads of dozens of people to investigate in the direction of King Chuang's camp and the officer's camp in the north.

In fact, what he is more worried about now is the officers and soldiers in the car formation in the north. They showed extremely strong combat effectiveness yesterday. If the night attack tonight was intentional by the officers and soldiers.

Then they only had two goals, one was to break into the king's camp, and the other was the cavalry under his command, so he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of falling into Zhang Cheng's way.

But after all, Liu Zongmin is an old bandit who has been fighting for many years. He still divides his 3000-man cavalry into three parts, each with a thousand cavalry, just in case.

One reason is that Liu Zongmin led the [-] cavalry team himself, and the Baiqi under Tong Shoushan's command was in this wave;

But when he looked from a distance, there were more and more fires in Chuangwang camp, which seemed to permeate the whole camp, Liu Zongmin was also extremely anxious.

Soon, the sentinels reported that some bandits broke out from King Chuang's camp, saying that King Chuang was shot by the officers and his life was already in danger, Liu Zongmin couldn't hold back anymore.

He urgently ordered Ren Rongguang to lead the thousand cavalry team to the west gate of King Chuang's camp, and he himself led the thousand cavalry team straight to the north gate of Chuang Wang's camp, not only to rescue King Chuang, but also to confirm the safety of King Chuang.

After all, the core of their bandit army is Chuangwang Li Zicheng. It can be said that there is Chuangwang, and they are the Chuangjun. Collapse.

Even the tens of thousands of troops that marched into Funiu Mountain and Xiong'er Mountain would all be scattered. Only Chuang Wang Li Zicheng, with the title of Chuang Wang, could bring them together.

Originally, Liu Zongmin could still be cautious, but now that King Chuang was injured or even died in battle, how could he calm down? The injury is enough to make the army lose their morale, so he has to go over to see what's going on!
…………

The closer he got to King Chuang's camp, Liu Zongmin's heart became more and more emboldened. There was a lot of shouting and killing in King Chuang's camp, and there were fires everywhere. He didn't know how many officers and soldiers broke into the camp.

He intercepted two bandits who escaped from the broken battalion in a row, and all the answers he gave were "King Chuang is dead" and "King Chuang was shot to death by the officers and soldiers".

Although he had killed all these bandits, he was even more anxious in his heart. Apart from leaving fifty cavalry to guard the north gate to prevent the bandits from escaping from here, he led the rest of the cavalry and galloped into the camp to search for them. officer army.

He galloped hundreds of steps but couldn't find the shadow of the officers and soldiers, but was mistaken by the panicked bandits for the officers and cavalry attacking the camp, and a burst of arrows shot at them.

Although the soldiers of the cavalry were never shot, the horses were shot to death and wounded more than ten horses for no reason. Seeing Bai Wang galloping towards him, Liu Zongmin immediately grabbed him and asked anxiously, "Bai Wang, what about King Chuang?"

Bai Wang's body was covered in blood and dust. He also saw Liu Zongmin at the same time, and hurriedly replied, "Master, the arrow in King Chuang's left eye has been returned to the big tent. His life is safe!"

Liu Zongmin felt relieved when he heard the words, and asked again: "Where did the officers and soldiers go?"

"Just now they came to the north, but now they are going to the west gate again. They are all cavalry, so it is not easy to intercept them."

Liu Zongmin yelled: "Divide into three routes, go to Ximen, chase down the officers and soldiers, kill one rider, and reward ten taels of silver!"

…………

Lin Fangping also started at the fourth watch, so he led his [-] riding tiger guards to wait near the city wall to the south of Wei Zhice's chariot formation.

He was ordered to meet Chen Yongfu's cavalry here, because Zhang Cheng had calculated that the west gate of Kaifeng would be difficult to open for a while. If Chen Yongfu got the information, he could drive north along the west wall of Kaifeng and enter the city safely from the north gate.

If Chen Yongfu failed to get Chen Zhong's letter, then Lin Fangping, Su Huhu, Mo Zhigen and others could wait for the opportunity to respond. What Zhang Cheng feared most was that Chen Yongfu's troops would be trapped in Xiguan by bandits.

At that time, he spent half the night fighting in the bandit camp, he must have been exhausted and unable to fight any more, and the west gate was heavily blocked by earth bags and stones, so it would take a while to open it.

In this way, Chen Yongfu's troops may be surrounded and wiped out in Xiguan by the bandits. Even if they stick to the wall or south or north, they will be attacked by bandits and suffer heavy losses.

At the time when Lin Fangping was approaching Mao, he saw the flames flickering near Xiguan in Kaifeng City, but because it was not yet daylight, he did not dare to rush there rashly, lest the two sides misunderstand and kill his own people.

After a while, Lin Fangping shouted loudly: "The whole army mounts their horses, raises their torches, and heads north. Let's rescue Chen Zongbing and them to go home!"
