Li Zicheng ordered his men to bring his Oolong colt, and also ordered his soldiers to protect the Chinese army and Niu Jinxing. Song Xiance, Li Yan and others led troops and horses to intercept Chen Yongfu who was attacking the camp.
However, although there were nearly 10,000 thieves in King Chuang's camp, most of them were infantry. Under the attack of the cavalry led by Chen Yongfu, they had already scattered. Not only was it difficult to form a large group for a while, but it was also impossible to pursue Chen Yongfu's troops.
They could only gather in advance to predict the direction of Chen Yongfu's conflict and intercept it, but Chen Yongfu always bypassed it.
King Chuang rode his horse and led more than ten cavalrymen to follow him. He was organizing thieves to intercept Chen Yongfu. However, he met Liu Tichun, who was confused and shameless. He only heard him shout loudly: "King Chuang, there is also chaos in Gu Ying's camp. Look...
…”
Hearing this, Li Zicheng hurriedly rode up to a high ground in the camp. Looking up, he saw that fires were burning in Gu Ying's camp to the west. Although he didn't know the specific situation in his camp, this scene was different from that of Yi Dou Valley to the south.
Very similar.
He asked in a deep voice: "Do you know which army unit it is from?"
Liu Tichun replied loudly: "Xiao Naozi has already sent someone to Yidou Valley, but there is no reply yet, but Gu Ying only learned of the change and just sent a sentry."
Li Zicheng looked back at his camp and saw three or four fire dragons meandering forward. The commotion in the camp was expanding, and their heads were heading west. He shouted again: "Two tigers, there are Jiexuan's cavalry."
Set up camp in the north. Don’t worry about where the officers and soldiers are heading. Go to the west gate to organize an interception. Don’t let the officers and soldiers break out from the west gate!"
Liu Tichun received the order loudly, and he led dozens of horses down the mound and rode straight towards the west gate.
Just when Li Zicheng, Li Yan, Bai Wang and others were also running down the mound, another group of officers and soldiers rode in from the south camp gate and ran straight to the west!
…………
Chen De and his entourage deliberately revealed their traces. They rushed into King Chuang's camp with open fire and clashed with them to the north. They attacked several groups along the way and set fires continuously in the camp.
After charging north for a while, they felt that they had attracted the attention of the rebels, so they divided into several groups and turned to the west. Although they did not go all the way, they were not far apart, only ten or dozens of steps away, and they were separated from each other.
Follow the instructions and head to the west of the bandit camp to clash.
Li Zicheng's camp was different from other camps. In order to exchange information with other battalions in a timely manner, he had a camp gate on all sides. As early as when he was first attacked, Li Zicheng judged that the group of officers and soldiers must rush out from the west gate.
Therefore, he had already assembled his bandits and set up several interception defense lines inside the west gate, waiting for Chen Yongfu to lead his army to charge.
As expected by King Chuang, Chen Yongfu's troops went straight to the several interception lines preset by King Chuang, just as he had predicted.
But what King Chuang didn't expect was that Chen De's troops would serve as backup. Chen Yongfu's less than 400 cavalry were tightly surrounded here, but they were broken through by a wave of servants led by Chen De.
.
It really made him extremely angry, and Zhang Nai was extremely depressed because of his repeated defeats since the surprise attack on Kaifeng. This time, he was eager to make a contribution, but was shot by Chen De and injured his horse. Although it was not fatal, it was still extremely thrilling.
Seeing that his camp was so ravaged by the army, Li Zicheng became even more angry. He personally commanded the thieves to surround him one after another, and shouted loudly: "Whoever can kill the general of the opposite army will be rewarded with five hundred silver and promoted to the rank of general in charge of the army."

…………
At this time, Chen De came galloping, broke through the siege of the bandits, and gathered with his father Chen Yongfu. He shouted: "Father, there are many bandits in the west, why not go north first, then turn and run west!"
"
At this time, Chen Yongfu also knew that the bandits were gathering more and more people, and it would be difficult to escape from the west for a while. He had no objection at the moment, but the bandits were surrounding him from all sides, and it was not easy to break out from the north.
Chen De saw many thieves and generals gathering together in the southwest. Most of them were armored thieves. One of them was wearing an arrow jacket, a cotton robe, and a slightly worn red felt hat riding a horse.
superior.
He put away his spear and put it on the victory hook, took a strong bow in his hand and shouted to the dozens of servants around him: "You follow me and charge up, shoot those thieves generals!"
After Chen De finished drinking, he led his servants to ride and ride. Dozens of knights were holding their bows and arrows. They used the power of the galloping horses to shoot a burst of arrows.
But after all, the distance was a little farther, and almost all the dozens of arrows that flew past were easily blocked. Chen De took out another light arrow and shouted angrily: "Follow me, change to light arrows, and shoot those thieves to death."
them!"
All the servants took out light arrows and put them on the bowstrings. They drove their horses forward again. With the power of their horses, dozens of light arrows flew away from the strings. The wind helped the fire and the arrows flew far away.
Dozens of light arrows flew up like dozens of points of cold light under the surrounding firelight. Chen Yongfu only saw the thieves and generals who had gathered together in a panic on the opposite height, and they all tried to avoid the arrows.
In the flash of fire, he looked at the thief who was wearing an arrow jacket, a cotton robe, and a red felt hat. He raised his hands to cover his eyes. There seemed to be a light arrow stuck in his eye socket, and bright red dots came from between his fingers.
overflow.
Chen Yongfu didn't have time to think about it, he opened his mouth and shouted: "My son is so powerful that I can shoot the thief Li Chuang to death with one arrow. Come with me and charge, let's go back to the city to celebrate and reward!"
He rushed to Chen De's side and shouted: "Chen De, you can't rush through from the west, hurry back and fight, first run east, then north."
Chen De also received the order loudly, and led his servants to the direction from the east to kill a carbine. The thieves only focused on blocking them and rushed to the west, but they did not expect that the officers and soldiers would come back the way they came.
Chen Yongfu and his son were rushing back and forth in Chuang Wang's camp, getting together and sometimes dispersing. When Chuang Wang's camp was neutralized, the fire broke out, and Chen De and other officers and soldiers rushed and killed all the way, shouting:
"King Li Chuang was shot to death..."
"King Chuang is dead, and you still won't surrender..."
"Chen De shot King Li Chuang to death with one arrow..."
The camp of Chuang King Li Zicheng occupies the largest area. In addition to nearly 10,000 bandit soldiers, there are also thousands of hungry civilians in his camp. Most of them are newly recruited soldiers in western Henan. They were originally for Chuang King.
Only then did the famous people come to seek refuge.
At this time, when they heard the shouts of "King Chuang is dead" and "King Chuang has been shot to death by Chen De" from all around the camp, the bandits were all frightened. Some even gave up on intercepting Chen Yongfu who was attacking the camp.
Chen De and other officers and soldiers.
…………
Chen Zhong led more than 400 cavalry to guard outside the camp of the bandit general Gu Ying. They had already sent Gu Ying to open, covert, and mobile sentries outside the camp to observe clearly.
Most of his subordinates were born in the night, and were naturally very good at lurking, catching people, and attacking at night. However, Chen Zhong ordered that he must wait until Chen Yongfu's side was confirmed to launch the attack before attacking Gu Ying's camp.
Chen Zhong's purpose was very clear, which was to contain Gu Ying's troops so that they could not return to support the Chuang Army camp. Of course, it would be great if he could gain more gains.
Finally, just after the fifth watch, Chen Zhong saw through the telescope that there were fires in the camp in the distance. He judged that Chen Yongfu's troops had broken into the camp, but for some reason there was no movement in Gu Ying's camp.
But since the invasion of the camp was in chaos, he wanted to take action here. He immediately ordered the sentry commanders such as Ma Sanzhuang, Zuo Qinghe, Wan Guangjin, etc.: "Open the way with the outpost. After breaking through the door and breaking into the thief's camp, you can use the sentry as your guide."
Units should be divided into four directions to attack, and there should be more fire prevention along the way."
He went on to say: "Remember it all, and ordered us to go down. After all the soldiers broke into the bandit camp, they shouted, 'The officers and soldiers attacked the camp, and King Chuang was defeated.' Do you know?"
"Yes, remember it!" Everyone agreed in unison.
Chen Zhong said to Tielin again: "You lead the Chinese military sentry and follow me. Let's go!"
