The counterinsurgency army from Shaozhou was as slow as a snail, and it took three days to reach Renhua, a hundred miles away. County. Of course, the army did not move as fast as a few soldiers, and at the beginning, Battalion Commander Zhang fled for help, and it only took half a day to ride a horse from Renhua to Shaozhou Mansion.

Such a big movement had already been known to the spies released by Zhong Erzhu, and he hurriedly asked Jiang Yiming: "Daxian, the three thousand patrol battalions of Shaozhou Mansion will be able to reach Renhua tomorrow. Outside the county, what should we do? All of my men are peasants, and I can't resist them. ”

Jiang Yiming saw his panicked appearance, and he was a little skeptical that he had chosen the wrong person, this guy was too disgraceful.

So the stern mental fluctuations came to Zhong Erzhu's head: Don't be afraid, I didn't talk about street fighting before, now is the time to use it. But first all the inhabitants of the city must be driven out of the city and the houses must be vacated. Then he hid in the alleys of the house and launched a spell attack on the Qing army, crushing them in one fell swoop.

Street fighting is also conditional, if the people in the county town are not cleared away, and they lead the way for the Qing army, that will be when Zhong Erzhu is destroyed. After only a few days, the residents of the city did not agree with Zhong Erzhu at all.

As soon as the Qing Dynasty army came, these people would probably turn their faces and must be careful. Fortunately, it was not a new army, but a patrol battalion came, otherwise there was only one way to retreat into the mountains. However, I heard that the new army in Guangdong has only begun to be organized and trained, and it has not yet become an army, but there is no need to worry.

Zhong Erzhu completely obeyed Jiang Yiming's words and began to arrange for an army that had swelled to 3,000 to drive out the residents of the county town.

"Ah, damn mud legs, how dare you drive me, a lifter, out of the county? I'm going to find the prefect to clean you up! A well-dressed middle-aged man stood in front of a large mansion and refused to leave. Behind him hung a gilded signboard on the lintel, on which were written two large characters: Huangfu. has more than 20 male servants to support him, and the style is not small.

The soldiers under Zhong Erzhu were farmers a few days ago, and they were afraid of the lord in the city. I didn't dare to step forward for a while.

"Haha, you're scared, why don't you hurry up and get out of here!" The middle-aged man saw the bandit with the big knife constantly retreating under his own reprimand, as if he saw the moment when he was received by the governor. As long as the actions of the bandits are thwarted, it is not impossible for that beautiful scene to happen.

Zhong Erzhu led the core people over, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his face became extremely gloomy. The so-called core team. It was about 70 people who joined him in the village.

Although he only took refuge two days earlier than the other soldiers, two days is also seniority, and now he has become a small leader one by one, and each of them leads dozens of people.

Boom! Without waiting for Zhong Erzhu to make a move, Tu Nannan fired a shot at the middle-aged man, hitting him in the chest, and immediately a stream of red blood dyed the shiny clothes red.

"You, unexpectedly, dare to shoot?" The middle-aged man fell to the ground. He spoke intermittently, his eyes bulging out like frogs. The manservants behind him scattered as the shots rang out, and none of them were left.

"Hmph, the enemies who resist the elders only have to die!" Tu Nannan said indifferently.

Zhong Erzhu nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you should deal with the rebels like this." ”

Ever since this little guy had sneaked back to report the attack on the patrol battalion when he was in the village, he had taken a different look at him. I really didn't look away at this time.

After killing this middle-aged man, there was no longer any obstacle to cleaning up the county seat. Those people saw the fate of Huangfu and left very honestly one by one.

An army of 3,000 assembled on the county street.

"Brothers, do you know why we are cleaning up the people in the city? Because the patrol battalion of the Qing army came to attack us, we had to cast spells on the Qing army through the houses and walls. You have also seen the power of the rot technique, and the Qing army cannot resist at all, so we will definitely win this battle. ”

After Zhong Erzhu finished speaking. Looking at the soldiers under the stands, only the panic could be seen on their faces. Only a few of them had excited faces and agreed with his judgment.

He sighed secretly and continued: "Those who want to leave can leave completely, but don't want to join my command in the future!" ”

Zhong Erzhu actually didn't want the soldiers to leave. But he had no officers at all and could not control the soldiers. Those core members are also farmers, and they do not have the ability to firmly control their subordinates. Rather than forcibly keep them, it is better to send these unreliable elements away.

After receiving permission, the army of 3,000 was scattered, and only about 600 men remained. These remaining people are either stealers or party members, and they are very restless in the countryside and cities, and do not leave with a speculative mentality.

"Well, you will feel lucky in the years to come. Because we will overthrow the Qing Dynasty, and then everyone will be the founding fathers of the country, and the future generations will be shaded! ”

After hearing this, the eyes of the rest of the people flashed green and shouted, "Long live the president!" ”

Among these roaring crowds, there were also five people who were obviously extraordinarily calm, it was He Yuanlong, Jaime, and Ye Wen.

"Veteran, why don't we get out of here? is about to be besieged by the Qing army, and this stupid Zhong Erzhu has only one way to fail. Ye Wen really wanted to leave the county with Lin Keding and Tang Nian, but thinking that the three of them didn't even have the ability to protect themselves, there was only one way to leave the veteran.

He Yuanlong's thinking was different, he not only wanted to save his life, but also wanted to complete the task assigned by Jiang Yiming. It can be seen from Zhong Erzhu's practice that he wants to have a street battle with the Qing army, and he has five or six points of victory with his spells.

In this way, it is also an option to follow this rebel army for the time being, after all, it is difficult to kill Cixi and Guangxu by himself and Ye Wen alone.

……

Zhong Erzhu arranged more than 600 people to one stronghold after another, with enough food and water. You must know that he scraped up the grain of the entire city, and finally obtained more than 10,000 stones, which could be eaten for several months.

and more than 6,000 taels of silver copied from the county government, all of which he handed over to his good brother Duan Fei, and asked him to organize manpower to cut wood outside the city and continue to accumulate mana. The Great War is coming, and no amount of mana is enough.

No matter how slow the patrol battalion was, it still arrived at Renhua. To the south outside the county seat, there is a large area of Wuyangyang.

Zhong Erzhu stood on the city tower and saw that the soldiers of the patrol battalion outside the city had a rifle behind their backs, and his face was as black as coal. With this, the Qing army outside swept away its own 600 people in minutes. He himself only captured two hundred guns from Battalion Commander Zhang, which was nothing to mention in comparison.

He thought to himself: What Daxian said is right, if he and the Qing army come hard, it will definitely be the end of destruction. (To be continued.) )
