    "Well, I order everyone to walk with their coins in their hands and not make any sound!"

    Looking at the beam bridge laid in front of him, Dou Qing finally let out a sigh of relief and gave instructions in a deep voice.

    "No!" The deputy general held his fists respectfully and took the order.

    Under the soft moonlight, I saw thousands of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, their feet bound, walking on the Liangqiao towards the other side.

    In the Yanjun military camp, the lights were bright.

    In the middle of the camp, there were several patrol teams, holding torches and walking slowly back and forth.

    Earlier today, the Tang army actually captured Poyuan after a fierce attack, which caused quite a stir among the army.  After some discussion, the generals of the Yan army agreed that patrols of the military stronghold on the other side of the Duanhe River should be strengthened to guard against sneak attacks by the Tang Dynasty.

    But when the order came out, the sentries in the army didn't take it seriously.

    Will the Tang people make a sneak attack at night?

    "Don't be kidding. Although this broken river has no water, it is far more threatening than an ordinary river.  You must know that the broken river and ditch are full of sharp-edged stones, and their arrangement is irregular. If the Tang people really planned to cross the river at night, they would have made some mistakes in their panic. If they slipped, they would be ground into pulp in an instant.  The commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty was not a fool, so why would he take such a big risk?

    Guarding such a natural moat, the soldiers of the Yan army were not worried at all that the Tang people would launch a surprise attack. The so-called patrols were just pretending.

    Fire Chief Wu Jiuer and his younger brother Chen Nan had just changed their shifts and went out of the military camp to relieve themselves in the Broken River.  The two of them won a lot of money together this afternoon, and they were so proud that their steps were so frivolous.

    "I said Brother Ninth, if we want to be as lucky as we are today, we won't have to join the army. Why don't we just jointly open a gambling house, where we can make sure we make money without losing anything, and make money every day?"

    Chen Nan rubbed his palms together excitedly, and said to Wu Jiu'er as he walked: "Brother Jiu'er, do you think that if I press too hard the last time, will Wang Sili and the others be so angry?"

    Wu Jiuer glanced at him disdainfully and said: "Look at your potential! Do you think anyone can open a gambling den? You don't have any family background, how dare you open a gambling den? You don't have any connections, brother, how dare you open a gambling den?"  If you open a gambling den, you may die without knowing how!"

    Chen Nan smiled brightly and said: "It depends on what you said, that's what I said. Anyway, I will follow your Ninth Brother for the rest of my life."

    Wu Jiuer felt very helpful when he heard what he said. She nodded slightly and said, "This is a humane thing to say. Don't worry, as long as I have you, Ninth Brother, I can eat with you in the future, and I won't cut your throat!"

    The two walked towards Duanhe River talking and laughing, and soon they arrived at the river bank.

    Just when the two were about to undo their belts, Chen Nan suddenly pointed at the quiet valley with his hand in surprise, unable to speak for a moment.

    Wu Jiuer didn¡¯t know what Chen Nan was up to, so she frowned and looked in the direction he pointed.

    "Tang, Tang Army" Wu Jiuer's face turned pale for a moment, turned around and ran towards the military camp.

    "Poof!" "Poof!"

    Before he could even take two steps, two feather arrows chased him and shot him, pinning him and Chen Nan to the ground.

    "Charge into the barracks and kill them all!" Dou Qing jumped onto the river bank, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted:

    "The Tang army is coming to kill us!"

    "The Tang army is coming to kill us!"

    There was chaos in the Yan Army camp. They couldn't figure out how the Tang Army could safely cross the Duanhe River in the dark.  If Chen Nan and Wu Jiuer hadn't noticed something strange and shouted so loudly when they went to relieve themselves, the Tang army would have killed Yan Jun at the camp gate without even knowing it.

    "Go in and leave no one in the camp!" Dou Qing kicked over a Hu soldier who rushed forward and shouted loudly.  At this time, when the rebels were in chaos, it was a good opportunity for him to take the initiative. If he missed this opportunity and waited until the rebels adjusted, it would be even more difficult to seize the military camp.  So he wanted to use this opportunity to take down the general camp and pave the way forward for the governor and the others!

    Under the leadership of Dou Qing, thousands of soldiers of the Jianghuai Army shouted and kicked over the deer firewood and wooden fences placed crookedly in front of the military camp, and rushed into the camp.  At this time, the Tang army was gaining momentum and was invincible.

    A group of rebels armed with spears came forward, and the Tang army killed them all.

    A group of rebels armed with simple knives came forward, and the Tang army killed them all.

    A group of rebels holding scratching hooks came forward, but the Tang army killed them all.

    This Tang army is fearless, anyone who dares to stop them will be razed to powder

    The rebel general Zheng Shanglun was sleepwalking with Duke Zhou, but he was awakened by the sound of golden drums and shouts of fighting. He thought it was some ignorant soldierOut of nerves, they all put on their coats and angrily picked up the bills and went out to check.

    But as soon as Zheng Shanglun came out of the camp, he was dumbfounded. He saw thousands of Tang troops hacking and slashing wantonly in the barracks, while the soldiers under his command kept running away like lost dogs.

    Zheng Shanglun took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Old man, old man, come to my general, come to my general. Don't run away, there is nothing to fear from the Tang army. Come to my general!"

    His shouts had an effect. Many Yan Jun soldiers who were scurrying around heard the order of their general and moved closer to him. In a short time, more than 300 people had gathered.

    "Yes, come to this general and pick up the swords in your hands. What is there to be afraid of? Pick up the swords in your hands and stop them. Stop them like a man!" Zheng Shanglun roared loudly, constantly motivating Yan.  The fighting spirit of the soldiers.

    He was originally from the Zheng family in Xingyang, and he also held an official position in the state government, but he was depressed and frustrated.  After the Yan army captured Xingyang and Luoyang one after another, he surrendered to the rebels without hesitation.

    Rather than serving as an official the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean in the state government and living in a muddleheaded life, it is better to take a gamble and join the Yan army to start another life!  If he wins the bet, he will be a founding hero and will have an infinitely bright future. If he loses the bet, he will only be slightly punished by the Tang Dynasty court.  In Xingyang alone, there were countless sons of aristocratic families who surrendered to the Yan army. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty had to think twice before punishing them.  As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone. As long as everyone is united, what can the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty do?

    ps: In my opinion, the so-called loyalty of the so-called aristocratic families in that era was just a joke.
