From beggar to emperor: I am not Zhu Yuanzhang

Early the next morning, a ray of sunshine shone on the top of the Yangzhou Army tent, shining brightly.

The red military flag loomed in the morning mist, and smoke rose from the camp. It was time for breakfast.

Yao Guili held the meat pie in his hand and ate it as he walked. He came to the outside of the tent and asked the guard: "Is the commander up?"

The guard shook his head: "No, I'm still asleep. I drank too much last night."

Yao Guili opened the door curtain and went in, and found Yu Gongchu lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, snoring like thunder.

How much did you drink?

Yao Guili stepped forward and pushed him, shouting: "Brother Yu, wake up, wake up, it's time to go."

Yu Gongchu seemed to be dreaming. He trembled all over and woke up after being pushed by Yao Guili.

He stretched and yawned: "Brother Yao, it's so early."

Yao Guili couldn't laugh or cry, "Oh my god, the sun is almost shining on my butt, it's still early."

"Brother Yu, it's time for us to set off. The soldiers have finished eating and are waiting for you to speak." He reminded Yu Gongchu.

Yu Gongchu slapped his forehead: "Oh, that's right, look at my memory, I forgot about this matter. I'll notify you and break camp immediately..."

"Report-"

Before he could finish speaking, a sentry ran in and reported: "Commander, the Luzhou rebels are challenging outside the camp."

"Ah, you actually dare to come here to seek death. Let me see who is so arrogant." Yu Gongchu stood up and ordered people to change clothes.

Not long after, the gate of the camp slowly opened. Yu Gongchu, neatly dressed, carrying a long knife, and riding a green-maned horse, rushed out of the gate, followed closely by a group of cavalry. The big flag behind was embroidered with the eye-catching character "Yu". In order to strengthen the momentum, the soldiers on the enemy tower beat drums and blew trumpets to help the battle.

Yu Gongchu rushed to the front of the formation, reined in the reins, and looked across the way. He saw only a few hundred people on the opposite side, and the army was in disarray. The flags and weapons were swayed here and there, just like a temporary army.

Yu Gongchu muttered: "Who are you trying to fool? Please, can you have some professionalism? This is an insult to me. Even if I defeat you rabble, it will seriously damage my reputation and bring down my reputation." Grade.”

Yao Guili, who was following closely, also saw this scene. He was a little surprised and said to Yu Gongchu: "Brother Yu, which song is Yang Xingmi singing? Does this show the sincerity of fighting?"

"You go and ask what's going on, why don't you just have fun?" Yu Gongchu was very angry.

Yao Guili patted his horse and came forward: "Who is coming? Tell me your name!"

Looking across the way, Tao Ya was lazily lying on the camp chair drinking. He vaguely heard someone shouting something across the way, but he didn't pay attention. At this time, the deputy general came forward and reported: "Master Tao, there is someone calling for formation on the opposite side."

Tao Ya was dizzy from drinking, and then she remembered that there was still business to do. He stood up unsteadily, climbed on the horse's back, and shouted: "Bring me my mace."

The mace is Tao Ya's special weapon and his symbol. Seeing the mace is equivalent to seeing him. Tao Ya has a special liking for wolves, and even the military flag has a wolf head embroidered on it.

Tao Ya rode forward on his horse, narrowed his eyes and looked around, and saw a general in the middle of the opposite side, with the word "Yao" embroidered on the big flag behind him.

Tao Ya shouted: "Tao Ya is here in the Crouching Tiger Camp. The general will be named. Mr. Tao will not kill unknown people with his stick."

Yao Guili was furious: "Yangzhou tooth general Yao Guili is here. The evil thief must not be rude. Watch the sword——"

As he spoke, Tao Ya rushed towards him with his sword raised. Tao Ya was not polite and waved his mace to meet him.

The two of them fought back and forth for more than ten rounds, with shouts coming and going from both sides. Tao Ya was a famous strongman in the Crouching Tiger Camp. His mace was so heavy that the two soldiers could barely lift it, but in Tao Ya's hands it was like a bamboo pole, flying in the wind, full of power.

Although Yao Guili could also fight, his strength was far behind. After a few rounds, he was only able to parry.

Tao Ya became more and more excited as he fought, and swung the mace across the target, forcing Yao Guili to retreat repeatedly. The deputy general behind him was sent by Yang Xingmi to assist him. Seeing that Tao Ya was too excited and had completely forgotten about this mission, he quickly stepped forward to remind him:

"Master Tao, stop fighting. If you fight again, he will be driven away. Our mission is to lure the enemy deeper."

Tao Ya slapped her forehead: "Here, I almost forgot, this wine is really a mistake."

After being reminded by the lieutenant, Tao Ya immediately felt like a different person. He turned around and ran away after a few attempts. As he ran, he muttered: "Master Tao, let's pretend to be a grandson for once."

Tao Ya galloped back to the formation and led the men and horses back as planned.

Yao Guili was stunned. What was going on? Just run away.

When Yu Gongchu saw Tao Ya running away, he jumped up and said, "Want to run away? Chase me -"

The Yangzhou Army followed Tao Ya into the ambush circle.

Soon the army was chasing outside Luzhou City. Yu Gongchu could already see the city tower of Luzhou. He was in a good mood and ordered the whole army to attack Luzhou at full strength.

The defenders of Luzhou were Gao Xu and Liu Wei. These two men had been impatient for a long time. When they finally saw the enemy, they immediately ordered to enter combat mode.

Following Yang Xingmi's instructions, they took the people out of the city to sign for a few times, then turned around and left. Yu Gongchu never encountered fierce resistance, so he couldn't help but relax his vigilance, thinking that this rabble was nothing more than that. Now that Luzhou was so close and within reach, and the people guarding the city were just a bunch of idiots, I felt even more proud, so I ordered a general attack and rushed into the city.

The Yangzhou army roared and rushed across the suspension bridge. Someone cut the rope. The defenders in the city dispersed before they could close the door. The Yangzhou army continued to enter the city.

After entering the city, they suddenly found that the city was quiet, no one was there, and the defenders who had just escaped were nowhere to be seen. The narrow streets were empty and the silence was mind-numbing.

Yao Guili recommended Yu Gongchu: "Brother Yu, why do I have an ominous feeling? It's so quiet here, it's abnormally quiet."

Yu Gongchu was also a little uneasy. He forced himself to calm down: "The thieves must have escaped, and there is no one in the city. Hahaha..."

Yao Guili ordered the soldiers to grope forward. A group of people held knives and guns in their hands and moved forward step by step, just like engineers detecting landmines. After walking for about ten minutes, there was nothing unusual. Yu Gongchu breathed a sigh of relief: "Let me just say, the thieves have already escaped, so there is no need to scare yourself..."

Whoosh whoosh—

Before he finished speaking, countless arrows flew out from the roofs, attics, alleys, and even behind trees. The speed was too fast and there was no time to react. Rows of soldiers fell down in response.

Gao Xu and Liu Wei's hard crossbow team appeared.

Yu Gongchu was shocked, and Yao Guili subconsciously pulled him aside and shouted: "Oops, I've fallen into a trap!"

Yu Gongchu also reacted and hurriedly ordered a retreat, but it was too late.

The Yangzhou Army who was attacked happened to be walking in a narrow alley. When they were attacked in front, many people turned around and ran back, squeezing together with those behind them, and the scene was chaotic.

Yu Gongchu and Yao Guili, who finally escaped from the alley, thought they were out of danger, but as soon as they ran to the street, they bumped into Gao Xu and others. Gao Xu came towards him with his sword and shouted: "Where are the two thieves going!"

Yu Gongchu gritted his teeth and cursed: "The evil thief dares to play tricks on me, watch the knife——"

The two of them fought back and forth for more than ten rounds. Yao Guili ran over from behind and shouted: "Brother Yu, don't be reluctant to fight. Let's go quickly."

Yu Gongchu immediately jumped out, mounted his horse and ran towards the city gate.

The soldiers who were lucky enough to save their lives fled to the city gate. Gao Xu was about to give the order to chase, but Liu Wei stopped him and said: "Brother, tell me not to chase. We just need to defend the city. The rest will be left to Tian Kai and Tao Ya." Let them."
