On the morning of February 8, Wei Ze and his team finally crossed the uninhabited Dayao Mountain and went around to a high peak next to the official road. With the moss-covered rocks under your feet and the cold mountain wind around you, you can see a road winding and spiraling into the distance. As far as the eye can see, the road looms in the shade of the woods and mountains, but it is very clear that the road exists.

Zhang Yingchen has the talent to discern the direction, and was selected by Wei Ze in the team to be entrusted with the important task of determining the direction. As a local, Zhang Yingchen discerned for a long time before he really convinced himself that the road in front of him was by no means a small road, but an official road that Zhang Yingchen, a native of Yong'an, was familiar with. But Zhang Yingchen has never stood so high and so close to the official road and looked down on the official road, and there was an indescribable sense of familiarity and strangeness.

Wei Ze, a foreigner, was able to lead everyone through the road he had never walked to the official road, and more importantly, yesterday Wei Ze said that he would be able to reach the official road in one day at most. Zhang Yingchen, who was in a daze in the middle of the mountain, naturally didn't believe it, and when he really arrived next to the official road, Zhang Yingchen was both happy and surprised by such a result.

With his hands clasped around his chest, Webber quietly looked at the official road in front of him. Wei Changrong, Zhang Yingchen and other army commanders stood on the left and right of Wei Ze, and behind them were the soldiers who had worked hard to reach their destination. The mountain wind was very strong, blowing the long heads and tails of these warriors into the air.

Wei Changrong poked the spear in his hand at the mountain rock, took a step forward, and looked under the cliff. Wei Ze grabbed Wei Changrong, "Be careful, it's all here, don't do anything for the sake of being happy." ”

Hearing this, Wei Changrong immediately retreated, nodded and replied, "Fourth Uncle is right, I am indeed not careful enough. ”

Zhang Yingchen knew that Wei Changrong was a rather impulsive character and liked to take risks, but he didn't expect him to be quite serious at this time.

Wei Ze ordered: "Everyone will split up to find a way down the mountain, Ying Chen, you stay." After speaking, Wei Ze took out his ledger with a map and asked Zhang Yingchen to help determine the direction.

Watching Wei Ze flexibly operate the charcoal strips, he sketched the direction of the mountain road on the paper, and depicted the terrain trend near the official road. Zhang Yingchen was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. Of course, Zhang Yingchen naturally has the credit of that map, and the cross sign in the upper right corner of the map that determines the final direction is determined by Zhang Yingchen. It's just that discerning the direction is Zhang Yingchen's talent, for him, as long as he looks at the sky according to the time, and then looks at the mountains and the appearance of the trees, Zhang Yingchen can accurately determine the direction.

This ability has also been praised by many people around Zhang Yingchen, but he has never been so highly praised as in Wei Ze. What's more, no one has ever been able to do so many things on the basis of Zhang Yingchen's discernment of direction like Wei Ze.

Halfway through Wei Ze's painting, Zhang Yingchen couldn't help but feel a strong sense of envy in his heart, and he said in a tentative tone: "Wei Sima, I don't know if you can teach me this drawing ability." ”

"Do you really want to learn?" Wei Ze replied without looking back.

"Yes!" Zhang Yingchen naturally made up his mind, and he answered very firmly.

Hearing such a firm tone, Wei Ze turned his head to look at Zhang Yingchen, his sharp gaze staring at Zhang Yingchen. Zhang Yingchen didn't know what Wei Ze meant, but he also looked back at Wei Ze with a firm gaze. Wei Ze was very satisfied with Zhang Yingchen's attitude, and he smiled: "Yingchen, if you learn well, you can learn better, learn better than me, I am optimistic about you!" ”

This is much beyond Zhang Yingchen's imagination, learning other people's skills is a big deal, seeking scholars is to express the sincerity of the group, and the teacher is to push back. But listening to Wei Ze's meaning, he was very happy about Zhang Yingchen's desire to learn to draw. It's a reversal. Zhang Yingchen is 23 years old this year, 4 years older than Wei Ze. Because he was born in the Heaven and Earth Society, Zhang Yingchen had dealt with many friends in the rivers and lakes, and he suspected that Wei Ze was just a teenager, so he just said it casually. But Wei Ze's attitude made Zhang Yingchen feel unlike. In the time that followed, Zhang Yingchen was completely thinking about this matter in his heart, and neither of them spoke until Wei Ze finished drawing the picture.

Wei Changrong and the others had already found their way down the mountain, and they set up camp in a col half a mile away from the official road. The forest here is deep and dense, and it is very hidden. But Wei Ze was not at ease, he sent his brothers to several places on the official road, and personally saw the situation in the camp, and then began to camp.

The camp was simple, with the tails of the two spears fixed on the ground and their heads tied together. Two pairs of support points were topped with a spear, tied with straw rope, and covered with cloth, and a tent that could accommodate six people to sleep together. Now that it's cold, huddle together to keep warm, and the brothers don't have a problem.

Zhang Yingchen, as a local, disbanded his head with several brothers, wrapped his headscarf tightly, and went out to explore the way.

In these years, there is no modern communication equipment, and the way to explore is by walking, Zhang Yingchen and Wei Changrong have not heard from them for a day. Wei Ze was naturally not idle, he led his troops to make comprehensive preparations for the ambush position and the retreat route. Early in the morning of February 9, Zhang Yingchen hurried back.

"I saw the Qing Demon's grain transport team! They could be here by noon at the latest. Zhang Yingchen was quite nervous about the report.

"Really? What did the Qing Demon's grain transport team transport? Wei Changrong asked anxiously. If it weren't for the fact that the camp in ambush was more than a mile away from the official road, Wei Ze ordered everyone not to speak loudly, Wei Changrong was afraid that he would be able to shout.

"What do they carry? Kill the demons, and everything they transported will belong to us! Weser laughed.

The other brothers also nodded yes in high spirits.

The grain transportation team of the Qing army acted with swagger, and was soon discovered by Zhang Yingchen. Seeing Wei Ze's appearance of victory, and seeing the people who were full of joy because of the opportunity to ambush the Qing army, Zhang Yingchen immediately added worriedly, "There must be more than 200 Qing demons!" ”

This made it clear that the move of pouring cold water did not achieve the effect, Wei Changrong replied heroically: "What happened to more than 200 people? My fourth uncle and seven other brothers captured eight forts in a row, and followed him to ambush the Qing army, and he was definitely able to kill the Qing army. ”

Zhang Yingchen had heard about Wei Ze's incident, but he had only heard about it. He couldn't help but say again, "We only have 26 brothers. ”

Even these words didn't make Wei Changrong's self-confidence suffer any blow, he patted Zhang Yingchen on the shoulder, "Listen to my fourth uncle!" ”

And the other fighters have already begun to ask Wei Ze, "Wei Sima, how are we going to fight?" ”

Zhang Yingchen was a little desperate, after all, this was a battle of one enemy and ten. Wei Ze may be able to defeat ten with one, but Zhang Yingchen does not believe that he can also have such ability. Since the number of the Qing army was repeatedly emphasized, the veterans of the Taiping Army were still so confident, Zhang Yingchen couldn't help but have a feeling in his heart, maybe Wei Ze and Wei Changrong were really capable of fighting. In fact, Zhang Yingchen didn't want to spend so much effort to climb the mountains and mountains and finally return in vain.

Even if it was an ambush, and Zhang Yingchen and others observed the Qing army, the Qing army was not very guarded. Weese didn't stop there. He immediately worked out several plans with his brothers for different situations.

As soon as the plan was finalized, the troops sprang into action. And this operation actually transported everything that was not needed during the battle to a hidden place and hid it first. Wei Ze's explanation is that this time he will leave after the robbery, and try to travel as lightly as possible when retreating. The materials that cannot be taken away for the time being naturally cannot be cheapened by outsiders, so they must be hidden first, and then come to pick them up when they have time.

After the preliminary preparations were over, the troops waited in ambush on the prepared positions. The ambush position was set up on the side of the official road with a hillside. After careful searching, this ground is 2o meters away from the official road, and the ground is basically flat. The troops wore straw hats and straw coats. Lying in the grass, Zhang Yingchen personally looked at the ambush position on the official road under Wei Ze's order. But I could only see a large thick grass there, and I couldn't see anyone. This time, Zhang Yingchen can be regarded as relieved.

The position was well prepared, and as soon as the brothers got into the position, it became clear that something was not quite right. After all, the official road is an official road, even if there are few pedestrians during the war, it does not reach the distance of no one walking. In order not to expose the ambush position, the brothers could not move after lying on the position. Despite the straw coats they wore for concealment, the brothers wore cotton shirts captured from the Qing army, and there was a lot of grass underneath them. The cold is still hard to resist without moving.

And according to what Zhang Yingchen said, the Qing army would arrive at the ambush site before noon, but he didn't expect the Qing army's grain transportation team to go quite slowly, and it didn't appear after noon. Wei Changrong couldn't help but ask Zhang Yingchen in a questioning tone, "You won't show any horse's feet and let the Qing demon see the signs, right?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Yingchen to refute, Wei Ze interrupted Wei Changrong's words, "Yingchen is used to our marching degree, and according to our way of walking, he should have arrived a long time ago." ”

Wei Changrong was silent now, Zhang Yingchen glared at Wei Changrong angrily, but he didn't refute anything. After all, it was Zhang Yingchen's prediction that went wrong, even if Wei Ze explained it for Zhang Yingchen, the mistake in front of him was real. Fortunately, in order to prevent changes, Wei Ze asked everyone to bring a bamboo tube of military rations, and now that things are wrong, he ordered everyone to have another meal, and there was no big deviation. But gnawing on the cold rice mixed with soybean rice, Zhang Yingchen was embarrassed to look left and right. He believed that the brothers on the left and right would look back with unkind eyes.

After about half an hour, the brothers who were watching from a high place finally came down to report that a team of Qing troops appeared on the official road.

In the same situation as Zhang Yingchen's report, this Qing army hired a group of pack horses. The pack team consisted of about fifty or sixty Dian horses, including the pack team of horsemen and the Qing army responsible for escorting, a total of more than 2oo people. Weese's team consisted of only 26 men, 21 brothers with spears. Five brothers with arquebuses.

The Qing army did not appear as a Taiping army who were carefully hiding in the grass, and they did not even observe any place where they could lay in ambush. Zhang Yingchen, who was hiding in the ambush position, looked intently at the grain transportation team of the Qing army, his current Qing army's team was extremely lax, and the pack team hired by the Qing army took care of the horses, not wanting the horses to spend too much effort, and the degree was quite slow. And the Qing army maintained the same degree as the cattle, walking lazily. The Chinese army brigade of the Qing army didn't know what level of officer it was leading, anyway, there were many guards around to escort it, but I couldn't see who was escorting. Almost everyone in this Qing army had muskets, and it was certain that it was a green battalion unit of the Qing army.

The Taiping army was no stranger to the muskets of the Qing army, and Wei Ze's troops included five arquebuses captured from the Qing army. This musket was not only heavy, but also complicated to operate. It takes more than a dozen steps to shoot at a time, and skilled shooters in the Qing army can shoot at most two shots a minute. Moreover, the heat dissipation of the barrel is very poor, and after five or six shots in a row, you have to wait until the temperature of the barrel cools down before you can continue to use it. The best way to deal with this musket is to suddenly approach the Qing army, so that these muskets have no chance to use them at all. This was the core point of Weeser's battle plan.

Not long after the Chinese army of the Qing army's transport team, Zhang Yingchen's eyes lit up, and the pack horse in the rear team actually transported bacon. Zhang Yingchen's eyes almost couldn't see the Qing army and other pack teams, and bacon occupied almost all of Zhang Yingchen's attention. At this time, Zhang Yingchen heard the sound of more than one person next to him swallowing saliva. Thinking that if he defeated the Qing army, he might be able to eat meat, Zhang Yingchen suddenly felt that he had the courage to fight.

Just thinking about this time, Zhang Yingchen felt that his shoulder was patted, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Wei Ze next to him turn his head and whisper: "Pass the order, prepare to charge!" ”

was about to fight the Qing army with real swords, and Zhang Yingchen felt that his heart was beating violently immediately. Just as he was excited, he saw Wei Ze glaring at Zhang Yingchen, "Pass the order and prepare to charge!" ”

Only then did Zhang Yingchen understand that Wei Ze was not just talking to Zhang Yingchen alone, but asking Zhang Yingchen to give orders to the brothers around him. He hurriedly turned his head and whispered to the brother who was ambushing next to him: "Pass the order, prepare to charge!" ”

The orders were passed down one by one, just after the whispered words were getting farther and farther away, and the orders were spread throughout the troops. As soon as he heard the sound of grass, Weser suddenly stood up from his hidden position. Throwing off the straw hat on his head and the straw coat on his body, Wei Ze raised the spear in his hand high in the air and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!" Without looking back, Wei Ze raised his spear and killed the Qing army.

Seeing that Wei Ze took the lead in attacking, Zhang Yingchen retracted his thoughts, stood up and rushed down with Wei Ze. Zhang Yingchen is about 165 tall, and he is definitely not short in Guangxi in the Manchu Dynasty, while Wei Ze is about 17o tall, which is considered to be tall and long-legged. Zhang Yingchen now used all his strength to charge, but the distance between him and Wei Ze is getting farther and farther away. But there was a person next to him who quickly passed Zhang Yingchen, and ran in front of Zhang Yingchen after a while. That person was Wei Changrong, who was about the same height as Zhang Yingchen.

The ambush position was only about 20 meters away from the official road, and in less than half a minute from standing up, Wei Ze had already entered the Qing army that was completely stunned by this sudden change.

Zhang Yingchen heard Wei Changrong boast proudly about Wei Ze's bravery many times, in the last battle, the Qing army was annihilated in the escape, and it was nothing special if he won. Seeing that Wei Ze could rush to the front of the team, Zhang Yingchen agreed that Wei Ze was indeed "brave" enough, and now Zhang Yingchen can confirm with his own eyes whether this is a rumored martial arts person.

Zhang Yingchen, who was running behind Wei Ze, watched Wei Ze rush to the shallow side of the Qing army in a few steps, and the spear stabbed out like a poisonous snake, and a shot pierced the throat of a Qing soldier directly in front of Wei Ze. Wei Ze had already stood still, and he gently twisted the barrel of his gun as he withdrew his arm, and blood gushed out from the wound on the Qing soldier's neck.

Without looking at this hopeless enemy at all, Wei Ze half turned around, accompanied by an angry roar, "Kill!" Wei Ze's spear plunged into the throat of another Qing soldier.

Only a moment slower than Wei Ze, Wei Changrong who followed closely had already rushed to the front of the Qing army, and he shouted "Kill!" The spear in his hand also pierced into the lower abdomen of a Qing soldier next to him. Another Taiping soldier who followed Wei Changrong rushed to a little in front of Wei Changrong, he flew up and kicked the Qing army who was stabbed by Wei Changrong in the chest and abdomen, and the Qing soldier let go of the hand that subconsciously grabbed Wei Changrong's gun and fell backwards.

More Taiping soldiers have already gone to the official road, and they cooperate quite tacitly. Stretching out their hands as strong as Wei Ze, one person can deal with the enemy, while the fierce and unskilled warriors will deal with one Qing army in two or three. In the blink of an eye, five or six Qing soldiers died on the spot.

Before being assigned to Wei Ze's subordinates, Zhang Yingchen had always been a member of the city defense force and had little experience in field warfare. Although he had also received some combat training under Wei Ze, Zhang Yingchen was still frightened by the strong combat effectiveness displayed by these comrades.

Just when Zhang Yingchen was just watching how his comrades were fighting, Wei Ze had already stabbed four enemies to death one after another. Where did the Qing army expect to encounter such a fierce enemy? Zhang Yingchen saw with his own eyes that the Qing army was so frightened that his face was like earth, and he trembled, and he didn't know that the musket in his hand fell to the ground. In the face of such an enemy, Wei Ze did not pause at all, let alone show the slightest mercy, the position he attacked was at the throat of the Qing army, caught up with the first few steps, and stabbed two Qing soldiers to death in a row.

"Zhang Yingchen, have you seen enough? If you've seen enough, start killing demons! Wei Changrong was following Wei Ze to solve another Qing army, and he turned his head and yelled at Zhang Yingchen.

Zhang Yingchen was frightened by this roar, although he knew that he was going to fight, and he rushed out, but Zhang Yingchen suddenly understood one thing now, he was already on the battlefield. watched Wei Ze, Wei Changrong and the others either stabbing the enemy cleanly or fiercely. Seeing that the Qing army was caught off guard by this surprise attack, Zhang Yingchen, who was sure that he was on the battlefield, threw all other thoughts out of the clouds. casually stared at the nearest Qing soldier, regardless of whether he could be stabbed or not, he did his best to let out a roar "Kill!" Zhang Yingchen stabbed with a gun.
