Du Youwei, the third master in charge, got on his horse outside the Chinese army tent and hurried back to the cavalry camp. There was already chaos here. Although the bandits had been in the Ming Dynasty for many years, they did not have all kinds of military rules and regulations like the officers and soldiers of various ministries. constraint.
Except for the dozens of horse thieves who were on duty at night, the rest had already taken off their clothes and fell asleep. They were even more panicked in their eagerness, and many of them ran out of the camp in disheveled clothes.
Some even just tied their cotton robes randomly around their bodies and ran out like this. They crowded into a group outside the camp, and were all awakened by the noisy sounds and chaotic firelight.
After all, they were all veteran bandits, and they were still alert. They ran out of the camp and headed straight for the stables. However, in order to have a better rest, the horses had all been unbridled, and they were very anxious in the rush. Difficult to put on.
What's worse is that there are shouts of killing everywhere in the camp, and flashes of fire can be seen in all directions. It is impossible to know how many officers and soldiers are attacking the camp, and in which direction the main force is.
When Du Youwei rode back, the more than fifty horse thieves who were on night watch were neatly dressed, while the other horse thieves were either disheveled, their horses had uneven saddles and bridles, or they had no weapons in their hands.
Du Youwei yelled angrily, and after a while, he finally organized a team of nearly 200 cavalry. He led the more than fifty armored night patrol horse thieves in front, and asked the remaining horse thieves to follow behind and go straight to the direction of the central military tent to rescue them. A bucket of grain.
From a distance, he saw Yi Dougu galloping forward on his own, with the army and cavalry chasing behind him. He hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brother, come on...come on..."
Seeing that he was less than fifty steps away, he suddenly saw three cold lights flashing behind Yi Dou Gu, and he secretly screamed: "Not good!"
Three arrows were shot almost at the same time. Yi Dougu galloped on his horse. He heard the faint sound of breaking wind behind him and knew something was wrong. He quickly shrank his head and turned sideways, barely avoiding Chen Deshe's attack. And two arrows in the middle.
He only felt the burning pain in his neck, and his ribs seemed to be scratched. The cold wind penetrated his flesh, but he didn't bother to examine it carefully. He was secretly glad in his heart.
But the horse suddenly paused, raised its hind hooves hard, and overturned a bucket of grain under the horse. Then it raised its hooves and galloped towards Du Youwei, who was fifty steps away.
Before Yi Dou Gu could get up, Chen De had already galloped behind him, and the spear pierced his chest instantly. Yi Dou Gu only felt a tightness in his chest, and then his eyes went black, and he never stopped. Any more feeling would be like sleeping forever in a dream from which one cannot wake up.
Du Youwei rushed forward and saw everything with his eyes. He roared heartbreakingly and swung his tiger spear towards Chen De, but Chen De easily dodged it.
Chen De and the others were attacking the camp, not to wipe out all the bandits. Now that they had killed the bandit leaders, they were no longer interested in fighting. He whistled and called his servants to rush forward on horseback.
Du Youwei saw that his shot missed, and he passed by the young officer. He had no time to turn his horse's head and could only gallop southwards, towards the officers and soldiers over there.
He first took out the Wild Goose Wing Knife and bit it on his mouth. At the same time, he pressed it on the saddle with one hand. He jumped up and squatted on the horse. Seeing that he was only a few steps away from several cavalry officers, he took advantage of the momentum of the horse to get ahead. Throwing the tiger spear, he hit an official cavalryman.
At this time, Du Youwei also jumped up on the saddle and landed behind an official cavalry. He pushed the cavalry's back with one hand from behind. He took the knife in his right hand and put it on the cavalry's neck. Go up, with a slight stroke, the blood arrow spurts out.
At this moment, he saw several cavalrymen of the official army dragging the body of Yi Dougu away with hooks and chains. He yelled and yelled and urged the horse to chase after him, but the official army was outnumbered after all, and it was an armored battle. In preparation, they quickly dispersed the bandits and cavalry.
Turning towards the north gate of the bandit camp, they roared and burned all the way. Everywhere they passed, there were fireworks in the sky. The people of the bandit camp in Yi Dou Valley screamed and became a pot of porridge!

Li Zicheng heard the urgent report in his sleep that Yidou Valley Camp was attacked. He hurriedly put on his cotton robe and went to a high hill outside the tent to look south.
In the distance, I saw where the Dou Valley Bandits were camping, and there were fires everywhere. Although it was not very clear due to the distance, it was certain that this was definitely not normal.
Li Zicheng asked Zhang Nai beside him in a deep voice: "What's going on in Yidou Valley? Can anyone come to report it?"
Zhang Nai was in charge of night patrol tonight. It was Li Zicheng who was the first to discover the abnormal report. When he saw King Chuang interrogating him, he hurriedly reported the truth: "No one has come to report it yet. I found something wrong there while patrolling the night. Sentries have been sent to investigate."
Li Zicheng turned around and looked around again. Only the southernmost Yidougu camp was in abnormal condition. He ordered: "Send an order to guard the camp gate strictly. Order the officers and soldiers to get up and be on guard. Don't be careless."
At this time, Li Yan, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing and others also got their revenge, and they all stood up in search of King Chuang. Liu Tichun was also in King Chuang's camp. He and Bai Wang were all dressed up and came in a hurry, so they went with Zhang Nai. Let's go together to organize the thieves to get up and be on guard.
Only Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Li Yan and others were left around King Chuang, speculating about the situation in the south.

Chen Yongfu led his cavalry to easily break through the north gate of Yidou Valley Bandit Camp. They no longer had to hide their whereabouts, and went straight to the north of Chuang Wang Camp without stopping.
Along the way, there were occasional bandits and bandits on horseback to intercept them, but they had no effect on Chen Yongfu's troops who were galloping in. They rushed all the way to the outside of King Chuang's camp.
Chen Yongfu shouted loudly: "Get ready to rope!"
More than a dozen cavalrymen took out the hemp ropes one after another. A loop was already drilled at the end of the rope. They ran out in front of the cavalry and controlled the horses with their legs. They shook the ropes with both hands and threw them away.
Although there were only four big ropes tied to the gate of the bandits' camp, it was enough. They whistled and turned their horses to run back. Two people and two horses pulled a hemp rope, and the sound of "rumbling" was heard in just one sound. Come, the camp gate will be pulled down in an instant.
Everything happened so suddenly. Although the thieves guarding the camp gates shot arrows one after another to stop them, they could only watch as the camp gate was pulled down by the sneak attack.
Chen Yongfu didn't waste any time. He rode his horse at the head and rushed straight to King Chuang's camp. More than 400 officers and soldiers followed him and rushed into King Chuang's camp.
About two miles behind them, Chen De was also leading his servants to rush here. More than a hundred of them were holding torches high, rolling forward quickly like a fire dragon in the dark night.

Not long after Zhang Nai and a few others left, Li Zicheng saw flames rising in the distance toward the south gate, and he shouted: "Not good."
They saw Bai Wang galloping on his horse from afar. He came closer and reported loudly: "King Chuang, some officers and soldiers have broken through the south gate and have entered the camp."
After hearing the news, Song Xiance turned to look at King Chuang and said, "One bucket of grain is over!"
