In order to run back to the barracks, the officers and soldiers who were forced to go back to the barracks were stopped by a general's servants. The servants drove them to re-engage and consumed artillery fire from the Pei family army. Most of these people were military soldiers drawn from local garrisons, or temporary recruitment of civilians and others. Even if these people were all dead, they would not matter. At worst, they would just catch them again.

After huge casualties, the officials finally attacked outside the Pei family army camp. At this moment, both sides in the battle entered a state of selflessness, and the soldiers had already put life and death aside, with only the enemy in front of them.

The camp outside the city was only one person high. The officers and soldiers built adult ladders outside the camp and turned over and entered the camp.

The Pei family army guarding near the Yingzha was naturally not willing to be outdone. Both sides fought back and forth under the Yingzha. Several stray arrows and shells flew over their heads from time to time, making the battlefield extremely fierce.

The two sides fought from morning to afternoon. When it was almost dark, they still couldn't tell the outcome. Zhang Zongheng didn't care. He waved his hand casually and retreated the champion soldiers in front of him, preparing to fight again tomorrow.

In the next few days, the officers and soldiers were determined to pull out the nail outside the city. For two consecutive days, the officers and soldiers fought with Pei Zhuer in the village every day outside the city. Although the official army tried it casually every time and did not take a single gamble. After finding that it could not be defeated, they immediately withdrew, but the officers and soldiers were in large numbers, and after a long time of perseverance, Pei Zhuer's army suffered a considerable loss.

On the evening of the third day, Pei Xiaoer scattered outside and suddenly reported that they had caught a man near the champion camp. The man was wearing a flying fish suit, an embroidered spring sword, and his whereabouts were strangely carried a few followers, hurriedly left from the officers and soldiers camp.

The spies thought this man was a big fish, so they noticed it. When they waited for these people to reach a remote place, they rushed forward and captured the Jinyiwei. However, despite this, the lives of several brothers were still damaged.

After being caught, the Jinyiwei claimed that he was the imperial envoy who sent an order to Zhang Zongheng, Governor Xuanda, and was passing the Chongzhen order to Zhang Zongheng. The spies felt that the matter was serious and dared not hide it, so they hurried to report to Pei Xiaoer.

Is this really happening? Pei Xiaoer became interested and waved his hand to ask the spies to capture the Jinyiwei. Although it has been half a year since he came to this world, Pei Xiaoer has never seen the famous Jinyiwei in the legend.

Of course, to a large extent, it was because Emperor Chongzhen had just ascended the throne and was deceived by civil servants. He thought that Dongchang, Jinyiwei and others were all cruel and harmful to the people, so he was all revoked. However, later, Emperor Chongzhen felt that the civil servants under his command were not very good, so he secretly recovered a little.

Pei Xiaoer stared at the Jinyiwei lying beneath him. The first impression this person gave people was that he was smart and capable, and he was quick to do things, but he was very knowledgeable about the current affairs. Sure enough, before Pei Xiaoer was tortured and forced to confess, this person told Pei Xiaoer about his mission and purpose one by one.

According to the Jinyiwei's instructions, a bandit fled to Northern Zhili, and burned, killed and plundered everywhere in Northern Zhili. Two county towns had been captured in succession, carrying a large number of people. Now the scale has grown to nearly 100,000. Emperor Chongzhen was furious and ordered the Governor of Xuanda Zhang Zongheng to immediately put down his responsibilities and lead a large army to advance eastward to suppress the bandits, so that there must be no mistakes.

This person was the Qianguqian of Jinyiwei who came to announce the edict. At this moment, they had already announced the edict and were about to return to the capital, but unexpectedly, they were captured by the spies from the Pei family army and sent here.

Pei Xiaoer thought carefully that it was this person's confession. The newly-run bandits into Northern Zhili should be Luo Rucai and others as Gao Yingxiang mentioned. This person is good at dancing and has a sense of the overall situation. The most important thing is that when he fled, he already had 30,000 to 40,000 troops under his command. Now, he suddenly ran to Northern Zhili, and was able to occupy the two counties in a short period of time and expand his troops to 100,000. This is reasonable.

In addition, the Northern Zhili was at the foot of the emperor who was in the capital, and was responsible for protecting the capital. The court was a little more cautious. In addition, it was natural to transfer Zhang Zongheng from Shanxi to Northern Zhili to suppress bandits. In addition, the Jinyiwei was known as the emperor's personal army, and there were precedents for coming to announce the imperial edict. Besides, it was reasonable to find a Jinyiwei to come to announce the imperial edict.

But Pei Xiaoer still felt something was wrong. It seemed that such important information was a bit too relaxed, and he felt the unreality of being hit by a million prize in the head.

Pei Xiaoer was unable to make up his mind for a moment, so he could only temporarily detain the person and wait and see the situation.

The next few days seemed to confirm what the Jinyiwei said. Although the officers and soldiers outside the city did not retreat, and the officers and soldiers attacking the camps outside the city even rushed one day, the number of officers and soldiers besieging Jiexiu City gradually decreased, as if they were really transferred by Zhang Zongheng and went to Beizhili to attack Luo Rucai.

The Jinyiwei captured by Pei Xiaoer and Luo Rucai went to Northern Zhili. Chongzhen mobilized Zhang Zongheng to Northern Zhili to wipe out Luo Rucai and made a statement to Gao Yingxiang. However, Gao Yingxiang told Pei Xiaoer with disdainful expression.

"This is just a plan used by the officers and soldiers to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Instead of attacking Jiexiu, they attacked the camps outside the city just to transfer us out of Jiexiu and then siege the city to attack the aid. If we really fall into the plan of the officers and soldiers and leave the city, we will definitely go but not return."

"Oh? Brother Gao, how can you see it?"

"Brother Pei, you don't know anything. I don't know others, but I know that Luo Rucai is so hard. Even if Luo Rucai really ran to Beizhili, with that guy's timid and cautious personality, he would never be so arrogant. He still occupies 100,000 troops from the two counties? What he wants to do most is to be a person with his tail between his legs, so that everyone will not notice him. I think this is just a conspiracy released by the officers and soldiers."

As the saying goes, listen to both sides and be clear. After hearing what Gao Yingxiang said, Pei Xiaoer immediately gave up his mind to leave the city and cooperate with Pei Zhuer inside and outside, and ordered his subordinates to stay in the city and sit and watch the situation change.

However, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind continued. Thirty or forty thousand officers and soldiers outside the city took turns to attack Pei Zhuer's camp, and the battle situation became more and more fierce day by day. Pei Zhuer also had 30,000 people under him. After this continuous battle, although a large number of officers and soldiers were killed, he suffered heavy losses. Only more than 10,000 people were left in the entire army who could take the knife. Fortunately, Pei Zhuer was guarding the camp. If he had suffered such a great loss in the wilderness, the remaining people would have run away long ago. How could they wait until now?

Seeing that Pei Zhuer was about to be destroyed, Pei Xiaoer could still sit still. The officers under his command could not sit still. There were endless voices of asking for stand, and the number of people was increasing day by day.

Thanks to Pei Xiaoer's view of not abandoning or giving up day and night in the camp, and his strict organization, the Pei family army was extremely united within and had been plaguing officers and soldiers at the same time. The situation where the rebel army's soldiers were generals has never appeared in the Pei family army.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. In this case, the disadvantages will appear. Brothers are suffering from cruel attacks outside the city and are at risk of being wiped out at any time. However, they are in the city, watching the brothers be wiped out, which is not in line with Pei Xiaoer's usual teachings.

At the beginning, a few senior generals asked Pei Xiaoer for a fight, wanting to go out of the city to rescue Pei Zhuer, or live and die with Pei Zhuer. Pei Xiaoer patiently explained to the generals and promised that if there was a chance or Pei Zhuer was in trouble, he would lead his troops to rescue him. Seeing the generals hesitated, Pei Xiaoer raised his face and scolded them severely. After all, the generals did not dare to force them too much. Seeing Pei Xiaoer getting angry, they retreated.

However, this theory is effective in the body of senior generals. When it comes to middle and lower-level officers, it is not so convincing, and the soldiers at the bottom cannot understand it.

Their cognitive abilities are young, but their simple values ​​tell them that it is wrong for the brothers outside the city to suffer, and they enjoy peace in the city. The surging thoughts even Pei Xiaoer could not ignore them.

If a commander, a general, or even a low-level officer does not know how to protect his children, cannot protect the interests of the soldiers, and does not know how to consider the people below, he will completely lose the support of the lower-level soldiers and his status will become precarious.

What's more, since Pei Xiaoer started the army, it has been fashionable and short. Especially in recent times, the scale of the Pei family army has expanded like a balloon. A large number of soldiers have joined the Pei family army for less than a month. Loyalty to the Pei family army is being cultivated. At this time, General Pei's wisdom and magical martial arts must be reflected, so that the soldiers can follow Pei Xiaoer wholeheartedly.
