PS: I just stayed on the first page of the history and military class for a day and was squeezed down, can you do me a favor and push our book up again? In addition, the climax of the plot is coming, have you signed up to participate? A lot of characters are needed for both the positive and negative sides!

Keep asking for commuter pass support!

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day continued to march towards Wuhua County.

According to the results of the discussion between the joint command of the two armies, Wu Liuqi's newly formed brigade was arranged between the Chinese army and the baggage brigade. Acting as an auxiliary soldier and a civilian man.

"Brother Ang, don't say that your brothers speak straight, your brothers are not fully armored and armed now, if you fight a tough battle, you are only afraid of losing more, it is better to fight a tough battle, we will come first, you are on guard on both wings, and protect the baggage of the Chinese army."

Ou Dapeng's words were also reasonable, Wu Liuqi didn't say much, just walked with five hundred personal soldiers and Ou Dapeng's brigade headquarters, and his younger brother Wu Biao played the role of a scout together with Wang Hai.

The way of marching was as usual, the scouts were released in front for more than ten miles, and the troops were arranged between the spearheads and the forwards to control the hills and key points on both sides of the road. Prevent ambushes.

Nearly 1,000 vehicles of all kinds of vehicles of all sizes meandered forward on this rugged mountain road, and the marching team stretched for more than ten miles.

Out of the attached town, I walked dozens of miles to the foot of Baxiang Mountain.

This mountain belongs to the alpine mountain area in the middle section of the Lotus Mountain Range, the altitude is relatively high in Guangdong, the mountains and peaks overlap, the steep walls are deep and the streams are vertical and horizontal, and the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist.

Wang Hai, Wu Biao and other scouts had already rushed to the top of Hongtu Mountain, and the iron-blooded eighteen-star military flag of the Southern Central Army was faintly seen from the clouds and mist in the mountains. It's spectacular. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the white spectacle of ice and snow is enchanting, only to see the low bushes and pine trees covered with snow-white snow and ice, dancing in the north wind, like ice and snow beauties dancing. However, Ou Dapeng and Wu Liuqi didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery. Ou Dapeng ordered someone to find the quartermaster of the Sixth Garrison Brigade and ordered him to take out all the clothes carried on the baggage truck, "This ghost weather, hurry up and let the brothers of the new brigade wear it!" Don't freeze! ”

On the one hand, he asked people to get military uniforms to keep Wu Liuqi's troops warm, and on the other hand, he ordered the troops to open the way. Set up a baggage cart every few miles along the mountain road. Boil some hot soup to keep the troops warm.

The men hurried over from the troop queue in a cooking cart, and each found a flat and wide place to start boiling water to make ginger soup, "Put some pepper and white sugar!" So warm up brothers! ”

Some people were pleasantly surprised to find that streams of water from the trees next to the mountain road converged into the mountains. A mountain lake was formed. A cry of joy. More than a dozen firefighters rushed to the river with tin buckets to fetch water. There are those who brave the cold to fish in the icy river water!

"What a fat fish!"

A firefighter held aloft a struggling fish that swayed from side to side and shouted joyfully at his companions.

"Go ahead! Catch a few fish and let the little ones have a bite to eat in the fresh fish soup! ”

Soon. Hundreds of cooking carts lined up along the mountain road were filled with smoke, and the mixture of white water vapor and gray smoke added a bit of warmth to the mountain road on this winter march.

"Boss Wu, give!"

Ou Dapeng handed over a bowl of steaming fish soup, in the bowl, a few pieces of fatty and tender fish meat floated and loomed in the hot soup, in the soup bowl, red peppers, yellow ginger slices, in the milky white fish soup looks particularly delicate.

When you take a bite of hot soup, your mouth is immediately full of fresh and spicy flavor, and there is a slight sweetness of fish in your mouth, "Good soup!" ”

Wu Liuqi walked in Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and there were not a few good things he had eaten, but this spicy thing such as chili, ginger, pepper and other spicy things was cooked in soup with fresh fish, and this way of eating was the first time I saw it.

"I originally wanted them to add some sugar and cook some ginger soup, but now that there is fresh fish, the men changed it to refined salt and pepper." Ou Dapeng's mouth was full of regret, but to Yang Zhen's ears, it seemed to be showing off.

However, drinking the hot fish soup, he couldn't help but have a clear nose in his nostrils, and Wu Liuqi couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Ou, don't laugh! We're a little undignified! ”

"Huh! Boss Wu, they are all men who fight, where did they come from so much? Come, take a sip? ”

Ou Dapeng took out a flat wine jug from his arms, and winked at Wu Liuqi slyly, "Take a sip of white vinegar?" ”

Wu Liuqi took the flat pot with some confusion, pulled out the stopper, and a strong aroma of wine came to his nose, "This is?" ”

"This is the white vinegar from our Nanzhong Shochu Workshop!"

Ou Dapeng deliberately aggravated the word white vinegar, because there is military discipline in the army, non-festive festivals and other activities, the army is not allowed to drink, like Ou Dapeng, a person who is more addicted to alcohol, so he hides some so-called white vinegar beside him, and presses it when the wine worm catches it.

These commanders with troops have made this little bit of self-retention for themselves, and the guards also know it, but as long as they are not particularly excessive, they can't get drunk, that is, they turn a blind eye.

After taking a sip of "white vinegar", coupled with the calories brought by the fish soup, fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Wu Liuqi's forehead, and he began to open the conversation.

"This is down the mountain, and it is the boundary of Wuhua County! This Baxiang Mountain, connected to Jieyang in the south and Wuhua in the northwest, is also the boundary between me and Taoyuan Taisha at the beginning, I don't go west, they don't come to the east. ”

"The Wuhua area, like Longchuan and Heyuan to the west, was the first place where Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, entered Guangdong. For thousands of years, there has been the habit and tradition of building villages. ”

"Taoyuan Shrine is based on the family and takes marriage as the link, gathering nearly a dozen families with surnames, each setting up a walled fort, and there are more than 100 large and small forts! These forts watched over each other, and grain, livestock, gold, silver, and other soft goods were stored in the stockade. The core of Taoyuan Village, the surrounding walls are all made of strip granite as the foundation, and the top is mixed with rammed earth and pebbles to plaster the surface with the burnt plaster produced in my south middle school. The thickness is almost three feet or more, and there is a metallic sound when it is knocked, and it is as solid as a rock. Three people can walk side by side on the wall, or push the Franc machine. There are five corner towers and several forts around, and there have been many bandits outside the village. All of them suffered heavy losses and returned home, and some were even wiped out in one fell swoop by the militia groups that rushed to reinforce after hearing the news. ”

"The rest of the stockades are mostly made of rammed earth and cobblestone masonry to form walled walls, attached to moats, suspension bridges, corner towers, and forts.

Wu Liuqi seems to have also thought about Taoyuan Dashe, and when he talks about the situation in Taoyuan Village, he talks about it like a few treasures.

"The most lacking virtue is in the stockade. There are several wells. There is no shortage of drinking water. In the barn, there is a storage of grain and salt vegetables that can supply the whole village for several years, and we are not afraid of a long-term siege! There is also a sink on the wall, once there is a police. Fill the sink with clean water immediately. Prevent us from setting fire to the wall! Wu Biao on the side was very angry and made additions to his brother.

Hearing this, Ou Dapeng was sweating. It seems that this Wu family brother really had the idea of fighting Taoyuan Village and Taoyuan Shrine, maybe after some speculation, he felt that he was not sure of attacking here, and on the contrary, he might be eaten by others. Only then did he give up the plan.

"But," Wu Liuqi looked at the big guys not far away. "If we concentrate our artillery fire, no matter how strong and solid the wall is, it will not be able to withstand the shells."

"This is natural! No matter how strong the walled wall is, can it still be stronger than the capital of the Zheng family and the capital of the Ruan family? These cannons have all experienced ......"

Ou Dapeng was about to brag about his exploits, when a fast horse galloped on the mountain road. It was the scout who accompanied Wang Hai over the Hongtu Ridge to the bottom of the mountain.

Seeing that the war horse was kicking away all the way, he galloped towards the rugged and narrow mountain road. Ou Dapeng and Wu Liuqi knew that something was wrong, so they stopped talking together and stood up.

"Two adults! On the ground of the pit at the foot of the mountain, a large group of village warriors was found running and moving, and they were rushing towards the foot of the mountain. It looks like it's going to work against us! The officer of the royal team has already brought people to meet him, and the little one has come to report to the two adults! ”

"Can you see the banner clearly?"

"The flags and costumes are very messy, but the banner can be seen clearly, Taoyuan Taisha!"

"These guys! It's not easy! Looking at the fact that we have just crossed the Baxiang Mountain, it is cold and tired, and give us a bar, which can be regarded as a half-crossing attack! ”

Ou Dapeng poured the small half bowl of soup in the bowl on the ground, "Chief Division!" Trumpet! The troops are lightly armed, immediately go down the mountain and occupy the position! After that, the baggage keeps up! ”

At the sound of an order, the soldiers of the Sixth Garrison Brigade flew down from Hongtu Ridge like a red dragon, and the newly formed brigade team behind them followed closely on the mountain road like an even bigger flower python.

She Keng, named because it was the main settlement of the She people in ancient times. The terrain is high from east to west, low in the middle, the hilly and mountainous areas are staggered with the river valley basin, and the rest are hilly and mountainous areas except for the three plate ridges and the large ridge that are higher.

Today, it was originally the polder day of Shekeng, but the people who came to rush to the polder in the past were not seen at all, and instead there were teams of village warriors, each holding a sword and a gun under the banner of their respective clan surnames. In between several rivers, the ground is paved with a large pattern of colorful colors.

Ou Dapeng raised his head to look at the sun overhead, the winter sun shining on people's bodies made people feel warm, making these people who had just crossed the mountains quite comfortable.

Wang Hai's scouts ran over panting.

"Brigadier Commander! The guys in front of them did it! ”

Wang Hai's body was splashed with blood immediately, and he had just experienced a small but fierce battle.

"Do you have any casualties?"

"There were no casualties! Two brothers were wounded. One was seriously injured and has been sent to the health team for treatment! Lost two horses. ”

"How many people are there?"

"There are about 100 people fighting against us, and they should also be Scout Pioneers and other characters! The brigade in the rear was about three or four thousand people, and no artillery was found. The guy who fought with us, lost that mother, still uses the weapons we are equipped with! ”

Wang Hai spat on the ground angrily.

Wu Liuqi took out the brass monocular that Ou Dapeng gave him last night and looked at it from afar. Sure enough, as Wang Hai said, there were about three or four thousand people in the colorful crowd in the distance. With the help of the telescope, you can clearly see those militia villagers, and there are more than 100 people riding on horses in the procession. As for the ordinary members of the militia group, they are wrapped in red, yellow, blue, white, black and other colors of turbans to distinguish the families to which they belong.

Behind these ranks, stands a large flag. The yellow flame of the gold-topped gourd is embroidered with gold thread in the middle of the Taoyuan Taisha four big characters. Under the banner of Xuqi, several people who obviously looked like leaders were wearing battle robes, and they were covered with Nanzhong steel armor. On horseback, he triumphantly pointed in this direction with the tip of his whip, not knowing what he was talking about. There are flags with triangular flames behind them, and I don't know what is written on them.

Around the banner, there were three men and horses, which looked much neater and more elite than the messy team in front.

In the middle part, all dressed in yellow trumpets, holding swords and guns in their hands, on the outside are the cuirasses of Nanzhong, the leaders also have iron-tipped helmets, and the ordinary soldiers use bamboo hats as helmets. The flag in the middle has the word "Liu" written on it.

And bow your head to this phalanx. But it's a volcanic red horn of one color. The soldiers all used the desperate knives from Nanzhong in their hands, but the leader was dressed in a green robe. There is a "off" word on the recognition flag behind him.

In this team, the members of the group are all dressed in blue and black, and they use two spears. The flag is embroidered with the word "Zhang".

Behind the Chinese army. There is also a team of about 1,000 people. With a firearm on his shoulder, he lined up and waited for orders.

This is the core force of Taoyuan Shrine, the three clans of Liu Guanzhang and Zhang, if Shouhan sees such a team here. He will definitely sneer, and then arrange a cannon greeting, "Let you guys who recognize their ancestors and like to play cosplay have a long memory!" ”

"Boss Wu, didn't you say that their village is strong and difficult to conquer? Today, they have left the fortified stockade to fight us in the field, isn't this self-defeating?! ”

"I'm here today, destroy their main force, and then break through his Taoyuan Village!"

After discussing with Wu Liuqi, Ou Dapeng passed down the order, and the troops of the Sixth Garrison Brigade met them, and when they were about two hundred steps in front of the Taoyuan Taisha Formation, they stopped in a big way and began to prepare for battle.

The sound of military trumpets and brass whistles echoed one after another, which dazzled Wu Liuqi, and the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Garrison Brigade gathered and lined up one by one, battalion by battalion, according to the order. Soon, with the battalion as a unit, the large phalanx with both attack and defense was completed.

The eight-pounder guns of the artillery battalion were lined up in the phalanx, and the big franc machine was placed in front of the battalion phalanx as a battalion artillery, and the gunners were ready to use their guns. The twelve-pounder guns were deployed behind the phalanx, ready to bombard the militias in the distance.

Wu Liuqi's new brigade was placed on the flanks and in the rear, serving as a guard and protective baggage supply.

However, Wang Jin and Wu Biao's hundreds of elite personal soldiers, together with Wang Hai's scouts and brigade guard battalions, formed a general reserve, ready to attack at the right time and give the opponent a thunderous blow.

In the blink of an eye, relying on the mountainous terrain, the Sixth Garrison Brigade and the newly formed brigade formed a battle formation of nearly 10,000 troops.

"This army is not easy to deal with!"

Under the banner of Xu, the leader of the Taoyuan Taisha also saw the rapidly unfolding battle formation of the Nanzhong Army.

"Originally, I thought that they had just climbed the mountains, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, the hunger and cold were suffering, and they were backed by the mountains, which was exactly what the art of war said: they could go, but it was difficult to return, and they were hanging. If the enemy is prepared, he will not be victorious, and it will be difficult to return. But now, their battle formation has been formed, and this battle is dangerous! ”

"Big guy! Danger is danger, then you have to meet this group of thieves in the south! ”

"We slaughtered the people of the Nanzhong Army, and with the style of this group of Nanzhong thieves who will take revenge, we must take revenge on us. I had to fight first! Hurt him, and then sit down and talk to him about appeasement! ”

"Tell the order to move all our 800 birdmen to the front! The Nanzhong thief is good at using firearms, don't let him crush our team with firearms! ”

"That's right! Boss, let our firecracker team supervise the battle behind the teams of Huang and Lin. Prevent them from being frightened! ”

"That's a good point! Entering my Taoyuan Shrine, how can you just think about sharing the benefits, and don't rush up when the dead man opens the film!? ”

The three leaders looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh wildly at this tacit understanding.

At the foot of the mountain, Ou Dapeng urged the war horses to gallop from one end of the battle formation to the other, and shouted in front of each battalion phalanx: "Brothers, are you ready?!" ”

"That's it!"

"What if you're ready?"

"Kill!"

A burst of shouts made Wu Liuqi, Wu Biao, Wang Jin, Yang Zhen and others hot.

It seems that the big guy was extremely correct in advocating accepting the appeasement against public opinion that day. Such an army, such food and grass supplies, military salaries, such training, and such morale, if they were to fight against the enemy, I don't know what the fate would be.

"Wu Biao! Wang Jin! The two of you go to the two wings to give orders, you must strictly abide by military discipline, do not panic, look at the orders of the Chinese army, and when the banner is raised, you must rush to kill, do not be timid to avoid the battle, and those who retreat from the battle, kill! ”

"The Sentinel is loaded!"

"Sentry B reloaded!"

"Sentry reloaded!"

"Ding Whistle is loaded!"

From left to right, the gunners operating the Big Buddha Franc machine were held up by the sentry officers in accordance with the formation, and the sentry flags were raised and shouted loudly to report the state of reloading. The gunners calmly squatted or stood in their respective positions, preparing the fire rope in their hands and preparing to take out the iron hook used to take out the fired sub-guns.

"Big Buddha machine ready!"

Huang Damu, the battalion officer of the artillery battalion of the Sixth Brigade, carefully observed the firing angles of several big Buddha machines on his left and right, and it should be able to be launched into the formation of the opposite militia group!

"Put!"

The red order flag in his hand waved, and immediately dozens of big Buddha machines burst out with flames, and in an instant, white smoke rose, and one after another projectiles carried the sound of wind and huge kinetic energy and went straight to the Taoyuan Taisha position opposite!

The two armies were only more than 300 paces apart, which was within the best range of the Big Buddha Machine's range of killing. In order to establish authority and create confusion among the enemy, shotguns were deliberately not used, but the equivalent of ten-pound shells.

Dozens of shells rippled like rocks thrown by urchins into the pond. However, unlike a stone falling into the water, it was not a splash of water, but a scream, and stumps and flesh flying in the air. (To be continued......)
