Chapter 49: Ambush

The prefect of Zhengding Mansion saw that the army of Monk Greenqin passed by a few days ago, and ran back in a hurry a few days, and did not even enter the city at all, how do you not know that the enemy's means are powerful, and now I see Zhang Yuntian leading the elite troops, under the banner of the True God Sect coming in the starry night, how dare not resist without measuring his strength, and immediately open the door and surrender.

When local believers heard the news, they took out their own sewn flags of the True God Cult, offered delicious food and wine, and welcomed them.

After Zhengding Mansion, further north is Baoding Mansion, after Baoding Mansion is the Beijing Division, Zhang Yuntian repaired here for a few days, raised troops again, and Ruilin fought in Baoding Mansion for only half an hour, and conquered Baoding.

Since the True God Cult had conquered all the way, it had to appease the people, recruit soldiers, and select key believers to garrison everywhere they went, and the overall speed of march was much slower.

Not long ago, Zhang Yuntian was about to send troops to Beijing when he suddenly received an urgent report from Henan, which disrupted his plan.

Qianjiang Zhang Yuntian was a little uncertain, and hurriedly asked: "True God, now where the divine soldiers go, the Qing Demon either flees from the wind, or opens the door to surrender, and the situation is very good, but I don't know why the true god is frowning?" ”

Zhang Yuntian frowned and said: "At present, our progress is really good, but there is a divine voice from Henan, Song Jingyang, the leader of the Twist Army, has brought 100,000 troops to invade the territory, it is said that Cixi not only named him the governor of Henan, but also promised to give him a million taels of silver, a hundred beauties, and the taxes in Henan in the next three years will be handed over to him, hum, such good conditions, no wonder he doesn't even want Jinan Mansion, he has to come and grab land with us!" At present, Henan is our foundation, once lost, it will fall into the land of four wars, but at the moment we have no extra troops to send, only with the local 50,000 recruits, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of the group of villains of the bandits! ”

After hearing this, Qian Jiang laughed and said with relief: "I thought what was it that made the true god troubled by this, it turned out to be a small matter, and it was not enough to worry about it at all, to deal with Song Jingyang, there is no need for the army to come in person, just send one person!" ”

Zhang Yuntian was stunned for a moment, "Just send one person?" Who is so capable that he can withstand thousands of troops? ”

Qian Jiang didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Yuntian with a smile, and the latter suddenly said, "Could it be that this time the military advisor wants to go out in person?" ”

Qian Jiang said with a smile: "Those who know me, the true god also, the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, was rescued by the true god when he was down, and has been treated as a guest, although he has occasionally made some superficial strategies, but they are all in the calculation of the true god, and now it is rare to have the opportunity to be useful, I will definitely go all out, but with this three-inch tongue, it is inevitable that the bandit leader will raise troops and surrender!" ”

"Raise troops and surrender?" Zhang Yuntian is a little incredible, the strength of the bandits is more than twice that of the Henan gods, and now with the backing of the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that they have taken the advantage, it is already very difficult to say that they obediently retreat, and they have to persuade them to surrender? It's a bit of a bizarre.

Qian Jiang saw Zhang Yuntian's worries, and said with a smile: "The twisted bandits seem to be strong, but in fact, they are strong on the outside, and they can see from the fact that they accept the recruitment of the imperial court, and now they are alone and have entered Shandong, and the back roads in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been blocked by Li Hongzhang, except for looting everywhere, there is no other supply route at all, so they are just dying and struggling!" ”

Qian Jiang paused, and said: "Although the bandits are known as 100,000 troops, there are many hungry people, old and weak, and they are just indiscriminate, and the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, and the true god heavenly soldiers can still use 5 kilograms and 100,000 people, although the Henan sect members are weak, but with 50,000 grams and 100,000 grams, they are waiting for work with ease, and they must be foolproof." And the reason why the bandits were able to recruit soldiers in Shandong was because the local government was incompetent, and the people were struggling to make a living, and now they have entered the territory of Henan, all of them are believers in our religion, once the war starts, his troops can only fight less and less, and the soldiers can not be replenished with food and grass, so they will be defeated! ”

"At that time, the governor of Shandong will fight with Henan believers inside and outside in the name of suppressing bandits, and the bandits will be defeated! Although Song Jingyang is greedy for small profits, he is not a stupid and reckless man, as long as he is good at Xiaoming, he will not worry about him not giving up on the secret! ”

Zhang Yuntian smiled happily at this time, put on a feast to see off Qianjiang, and when he left, he ordered a hundred elites of the Shenji Battalion, with 10,000 taels of silver, to escort Qianjiang all the way south.

Now that there is no trouble, Zhang Yuntian reorganized his soldiers and horses, selected a thousand people from among the believers, and transferred a thousand corpse guards from the conquered state capital, incorporated them into the army, and headed north again.

Baoding Mansion is only more than 100 miles away from Jingshi, and it stands to reason that the closer to Jingshi, the stronger the resistance of the Qing army should be.

By midday, the army had reached a valley flanked by two small stone hills of seven or eight stories high, on which grew half-man-high weeds, and occasionally a few pine trees protruding from them.

This terrain is perfect for planting ambushes! Zhang Yuntian had ambushed Shengbao once in the woodland before and won a big victory, could it be that Monk Lingqin wanted to deal with himself in the same way?

Indeed, the farther away the musket team is from the enemy, the more powerful it is, once it fights with the enemy hand-to-hand, it is purely to win by force, even if it is a demon killer, at most it is to run out of bullets in the magazine, and then you can only fight bayonets, and the enemy will not give you a chance to reload at all.

However, hand-to-hand combat is the last thing Zhang Yuntian wants to see, he is not worried about victory, the corpse guard is not only powerful, but also fearless of pain, and the battle is fierce and abnormal, which is by no means comparable to ordinary soldiers, even if it is hand-to-hand combat, there is no doubt about victory, but the battle damage will be relatively high!

The number of troops under his command is not large, and after defeating the Beijing division, he does not know how many Qing troops he has to resist from all directions, so the less he loses, the more advantageous it will be to defend in the future.

He took out a drone from the Void Warehouse, placed it in the clearing, and then used the remote control to instruct it to fly high and fly towards the stone mountain, while he observed the grass and trees on the mountain from the screen

Sure enough, I saw that those grasses were full of soldiers in blue uniforms, who were French! Unexpectedly, in order to deal with itself, the Qing Dynasty did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite the French army out.

Flying forward, there is a row of Mongolian cavalry in formal suit, hiding in the cols on both sides of the road, and then there is a row of French soldiers, they are lined up with more than ten artillery, facing the direction of the valley, presumably when they enter the valley, they will first be shelled, and then the French army will shoot from the back to block the retreat, then the Mongolian cavalry will launch a surprise attack from the middle road, such a layout is indeed very powerful, but it is a pity that the magic is one foot high and one foot high, and Zhang Yuntian's technology is better.
