The fleeing procession of nearly 2,000 people poured like a tide through the moonlit and starless wilderness, and the scene was spectacular.

There was a large group of people on the hillside in front of him, and the regimental members who were running in front of him were indiscriminately running, while holding their guns and holding them together. They were on the move, their heads were inaccurate, their fire was sparse, and they didn't know where the bullets had hit. But this kind of nervous firing still frightened people, and they shouted and cursed, and they raised their weapons and wanted to fight back.

Don't stop it!

Although the enemy has disorganized the system, the number of people is still eight or nine times that of the red letterhead. In addition, the red letter head was surrounded and intercepted by several militia groups, and it was difficult to survive for three or four days, and the troops were already exhausted and ran out of ammunition and food.

At this time, there is naturally no power to stop it. The commander with the red head is a battalion commander with the surname Zhou. Seeing this, the battalion commander Zhou hurriedly issued an order to let everyone get out of the way, avoid the hillside, and stay vigilant.

The debate is ongoing!

In the end, it was Xie Yucheng who acted as a peacemaker and reconciled the contradictions between the two sides.

He pointed to the two militia groups that had grazing sheep at the bottom of the slope and said to Camp Commander Zhou that these militia groups were used to being free and loose, so they would fight a good fight. Now two regiments have been run, at least half of the men and horses are missing. The commissioner's subordinates can be moved, and Luo Shaoyu is left with a Longquan Jingwei Regiment and the Yanyou Regiment Defense Bureau, and the Yanyu Regiment Defense Bureau is fighting away from home, and the enthusiasm is not high. The one who can really do the best is the Longquan Jingwei Regiment of Luo Butcher.

But the Longquan Jingwei Regiment was eaten by our Jiaoyun Village in the blacksmith a while ago, and this time it is inevitable to leave some people to watch the house, and now it is estimated that in the hands of Luo Butcher, there are at most five or six hundred people.

The commissioner was from Nanjing, and his name was very bluffing. But the war had to be fought by local militias. Now that the Guiyang Regiment Defense Bureau and the Lian Yongjing Guard Regiment have escaped, how can the commissioner be willing? I bet that when he learns the news, he will take the guards and chase him personally.

If it is not bad, we will collide head-on, and we will not be able to make a good ......

Camp Chief Zhou believes that Xie Yucheng's statement is too optimistic.

It can be said that it is pure luck.

But Xie Yucheng emphasized that luck is one thing, but why not win by surprise?

Who would have thought that the red letterhead, which had already broken through the encirclement, would dare to turn around and take the initiative to attack a team with more people and guns than himself.

It's called surprise.

The training equipment of the local militia groups is very ordinary, and their cohesion depends on the local concept and human face, and on the other hand, on rewards and fighting a good fight. If they can surprise them with a blow at a time and place that they do not expect, the trouble will change the fundamental situation of the enemy's strength and our weakness. Taking a step back, even if you don't achieve your desired goal, it shouldn't be a problem to get out.

In the end, Xie Yucheng said that this time he came back from Ganzhou, bringing thousands of bullets, several boxes of grenades, and ...... There are also a few boxes of penicillin...... It's hidden in a village not far away...... Moreover, there are also a lot of guns and ammunition in the cottage, if the red letter helps to fight this battle, those ammunition and guns will be divided equally between the two families, and it doesn't matter.

At this time, everyone already knew that the reason why they were able to break out of the encirclement in the second half of the night yesterday was because Xie commanded his party to capture the leaders of the two militia groups.

Camp Commander Zhou also secretly admired.

At this moment, Xie commanded the bullets, grenades, and penicillin in his mouth...... It made him fall into deep thought.

You must know that the red letter has always lacked food and clothing, and there is a shortage of guns and ammunition. After several days of fierce fighting, the ammunition was almost exhausted, the wounded and sick were rapidly increasing, and the hateful thing was that neither the ammunition nor the combatants were replenished.

Battalion Commander Zhou thought to himself: The brigade had already left southern Hunan two days ago and headed west. His small team of men and horses hurried away, and then encountered two similar battles, and if one was not careful, it would be the end of the whole army.

Just as Camp Chief Zhou was pondering, the third brother next to him decided to give the red head a salary to the bottom of the kettle: he immediately asked those brothers who had joined the red head to return to the cottage immediately.

He said that everyone swore at the beginning that they would share blessings and hardships. Now the cottage is in trouble and needs them.

The third brother said as he went to the team and dragged people one by one. A few days ago, the new fighters who followed the dysentery tiger to join the red letter head are more or less still relatives and friends in the cottage, and now they are suddenly facing this situation, and they are all at a loss. was dragged to the ground by the third brother's roar, and it didn't take long for sixty or seventy people to slip out.

Seeing this, Camp Commander Zhou immediately made a decision: "Okay." Let's go back and have a look, hoping to rescue Director Liu and the others after the break! After a pause, he looked at Xie Yuzhen, who was close at hand, and said, "You can agree, those guns and bullets will be divided equally between the two families!" Don't regret it when the time comes! ”

"Don't worry!" Seeing that he had a change of heart, Xie Yucheng replied happily, "You Hanyang have made a lot, and the one I brought back from Ganzhou this time is only more than seven or nine bullets, if you like it, give it all to you!" ”

After the negotiation was settled, the men and horses quickly formed a formation on the hillside, and then immediately set off.

While walking, the third brother had a disagreement with the battalion commander that week over the command of the two teams.

Battalion Commander Zhou proposed that he had the highest rank and should be the commander.

The third brother was disapproving, and said contemptuously: "High rank? Does the level of command have to be high? I don't think so! You are known as a thousand people, but a few militia groups can't carry it! We Xie Commander, with a hundred men, women, and children, took the old nest of the Luo butcher, and seized countless guns, ammunition, money, food, and horses! ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said loudly, "Yesterday, yesterday, Commander Xie rescued so many of us with just eight or nine guns!" The third brother became more and more energetic, and when he arrived, his whole body danced, "Camp Chief Zhou, tell me, which level is higher?" ”

Camp Commander Zhou was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Okay! You convinced me. In this operation, all of us, including me, are temporarily under your command Xie, okay? ”

The third brother raised his eyebrows proudly, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Camp Commander Zhou: "Camp Commander Zhou, you are also a good man, you are a friend, I have made up my mind!" The third brother said, looked left and right, and lowered his voice, "Don't worry, Camp Commander Zhou." Although the enemy is strong and I am weak, as long as you hand over the men and horses to Commander Xie, he will be able to give you a flower! You'll see. ”

"Uh-huh, good, good. Then I'll wait and see. Battalion Commander Zhou strode forward, while perfunctory to the third brother, suddenly grabbed the third brother, and also lowered his voice, "Third brother, there are really a lot of guns and ammunition hidden in our cottage?" ”

Unexpectedly, the third brother ignored him, but shouted loudly: "Big guy, listen, Camp Commander Zhou agreed, this time the operation is under the command of our Xie Commander!" He shouted as he looked around looking for someone, "Where's Commander Xie?" ”

"Commander Xie has already led people to the front," someone replied, the third brother heard that this was a brother in the cottage, and only heard his words full of pride, "Commander Xie said that he is familiar with the Jingwei Regiment, and he will command this operation!" ”

“……”

“……”

In the middle of the line, the front horse galloped back, the morning breeze before dawn was a little cool, the horse's hooves were rapid, the mane tail was flying, and the knight was vigorous immediately, and the battalion commander Zhou recognized it at a glance, this was the person from Jieyun Village, and he was a little surprised and admired for a while.

The flying horse came to the front in a blink of an eye, came to the two of them, and jumped down from the horse a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, what is surprising is that this child has a handsome face and a fierce expression, and carries two spears on his shoulders. I saw him clasp his hands and fists: "Sir, third brother, our horse exploration team has discovered a new situation, Commander Xie asks you to go over immediately and discuss the enemy's situation!" ”

Discuss the enemy's situation? Camp Commander Zhou nodded, looked back at the more than 200 people who followed him, and couldn't help but smile speechlessly.

The third brother next to him stretched out his hand to grab the child: "Lu Qing, what's the situation?" ”

"Commander Xie didn't say, third brother, I'll go back first, you and this red chief come quickly!" This child named Lu Qing is not very old, but he acts extremely simply, I saw him finish speaking, tuck his waist, tidy up his clothes, and then turn around, turn over and get on the horse, clamp the horse's belly between his legs, and gallop away.

It was only at this time that Camp Commander Zhou came to his senses, this child named Lu Qing even had a pistol pinned to his waist. He suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday afternoon, the Green Forest Armed Forces that directly entered the encirclement were also surprisingly fast and fast at that time...... Thinking of this, he almost laughed in his heart: Ha, this Jiaoyun Village is indeed very rich, just a half-grown child, it doesn't count if he has two good guns on his back, and he has a pistol pinned to his waist for self-defense...... It seems that the replenishment of the troops, this time has fallen.

The third brother laughed and swore that Commander Xie must have discovered the fighter again. "Let's go, let's get over quickly!"

Battalion Commander Zhou was suspicious, beckoned several company and platoon commanders, and hurriedly followed.

The group trotted, crossed two long slopes, and saw Xie Yuzhen, who was on the side of the road with a big tree.

He was drawing on the ground with a twig.

Seven or eight horse-leading knights with loaded guns were standing behind him, forming a semicircle. Battalion Commander Zhou already knew that this small team was the horse exploration team commanded by this Xie, and it also served as a guard.

The horse scouting team captured a prisoner, and the information they found was very valuable!

It turned out that after the breakthrough of the red letter last night, the commissioner was furious when he heard the news, and immediately led the guards to arrest the two regimental commanders who had withdrawn from the siege.

The two regiment commanders were terrified, and they couldn't help but be disturbed by each other, and before the commissioner arrived, they immediately took people and ran away.

The Yanyu Regiment Defense Bureau originally joined the team with Luo Shaoyu to encircle and break the team, but at this time, because they didn't know the truth, the righteous people were panicked and at a loss.

Luo Shaoyu launched a crazy attack on the broken rear team surrounded by the riverside highlands!

The Regimental Defense Bureau then made a statement to the commissioner, saying that there were dozens of enemies on the high ground by the river, and that it was not a problem. In order to intercept the escape and intercept the leakage, and also to prevent the red head who escaped from the encirclement to kill a horse gun, the Yanyou Regiment Defense Bureau was willing to shoulder this heavy burden and go west for several miles to establish a position.

The commissioner agreed, and sent Tan Chu as an observer, brought an observation team, and together with the regimental commander, led the army into a steep mountain village in the west.

Now, the horse scouting team has heard and understood that only two companies of this regiment have been left on duty to guard, and the rest of the men and horses have all broken into the people's homes and fallen asleep.

Xie Yucheng decided to take this Yanyu regimental defense bureau as a knife.

After the briefing on the situation, Xie Yucheng asked the third brother to go out, pick up a capable team, sneak into the village in advance, approach the headquarters of the Yanyou Regiment Defense Bureau, and fish in troubled waters as soon as the battle started.

Battalion Commander Zhou wholeheartedly agreed with this battle plan.

So, he agreed.

Several company platoon commanders who accompanied him also agreed.

The team unfolded quickly.

At that time, the moon in heaven became darker and darker, and the heavens and the earth became darker.

Mountains, rivers, wilderness villages, are becoming more and more blurred.

The ranks spread out quickly, marching forward in a hurry to attack in the darkest hour before dawn.

Camp Commander Zhou and Xie Yucheng soon came to a forest next to the village, across a small river, waiting for the third brother's horse exploration team to intersperse in place.

However, soon the barking of dogs sounded in the village,

The village patrol shouted loudly and flocked to the place where the dog barked.

Xie Yucheng patted Camp Commander Zhou's hand lightly: "My bullets are in this village, now let's go and get them." With that, he took a group of people, and without even taking off their shoes and socks, they waded across the river and disappeared into the mulberry forest on the other bank.

Camp Commander Zhou took another group of people, walked along the river for a while, and arrived at the wooden bridge at the entrance of the village.

On the other side of the wooden bridge, there were a few shadows. According to the intelligence, it was a squad stationed at the entrance of the village.

The battle in the village soon began.

Tongues of fire flickered, flashes of light remained, and explosions rang out one after another.

The group on the other side of the bridge jumped up and looked towards the village.

Battalion Commander Zhou waved his hand, and the two soldiers of the reconnaissance squad held big knives and quietly touched the bridge, and Battalion Commander Zhou carried a pistol and led the team to follow closely behind.

"Which one?" There was a shouting from across the bridge, followed by a bang and a pull on the bolt.

The two scouting squad soldiers parted apart, approached quickly from the left and the right, rushed into the crowd, and waved their big blades.

Screams rang out again and again, and some of the regiments had just pulled the bolt of their guns, but at this time they couldn't lift their guns to deal with their close opponents.

Camp Commander Zhou quickly took over the wooden bridge at the entrance of the village.

At this moment, outside the village, the fire was already bright, and the gunshots rang out continuously.

Battalion Commander Zhou was about to lead the team into the village, but he heard the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad pointing to the east and exclaiming: "Battalion commander, the enemy's reinforcements are coming!" ”

Looking in the direction of the soldier's fingers, Battalion Commander Zhou found that the eastern sky had been brightened at this moment, and the heavens, earth, mountains, rivers, wilderness villages, and woods were all quickly clear.

In the cool morning breeze, a troop of cavalry was galloping along the main road between the fields.

Battalion Commander Zhou only glanced at it and knew that the situation was not good.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Set fire to the bridge!"

Everyone hurriedly dragged out large and small bales of thatch, shrubs, and bundles of dry branches and firewood from under the eaves of the peasant households, and hurriedly piled them up on the bridge deck.

The enemy came very quickly, and soon came to the front, it was a group of cavalry with loaded guns, and the whole team still pulled out a full three or four hundred meters long while riding side by side. Based on experience, Battalion Commander Zhou knew that there were as many as 100 horsemen to be afraid of the enemy.

When smoke rose from the wooden bridge, the two columns of cavalry had already reached a distance of more than 300 meters, and one by one they drew their cavalry guns.

Horn hook!

Da-da-da-da!

The incoming enemies all wore steel helmets, mounted spears on their shoulders, sabers hung from their waists, and uniformed uniforms.

Central Army!

Cavalry company!
