Xuzhou City is a new city located dozens of miles south of the junction of Qingzhou and Jingzhou.

Heifu didn't know why this newly built city was called Xuzhou, nor did he know what the name meant.

Until June of the tenth year of Hongwu, he had been stationed in this place for nearly half a year.

The militia is not in the official establishment of the Qi State, although there is a certain amount of military supplies provided by the imperial court, but compared with the regular army, the militia is much shabby.

Hefu and his robes had no armor, only a long hair and waist knives that had been eliminated from the army.

However, in the past six months, even these two rudimentary weapons have rarely been used.

The life of a soldier is boring, and he doesn't know when he will be able to make meritorious contributions and get ahead, but at the same time, he is also a little afraid of the arrival of war.

Today, it was his team's turn to patrol, and I originally thought that I would like to do the same as usual today, pretending to patrol twice, and then I could return to the barracks and sleep comfortably.

But unfortunately, she and the team, how long did they patrol the harbor, and Liu was attacked by the barbarians.

The sudden arrival of the fat conflict made Heifu a little at a loss, and the captain with little experience in the battle could only be brave and stop his soldiers from panicking.

A team of ten people surrounded the city in a circle, nervously looking at the Miao barbarians who had applied dye to their bodies.

Heifu didn't know why these people were attacking him.9 He had the impression that the Miao people had always been very peaceful, and even some of the Miao leaders were still the guests of some officials.

This gave him the illusion that the Qi State and the Miao people would never clash.

But these obviously ill-intentioned Miao people made him understand why the Qi State saw the Miao people as a threat.

"This is the Daqi range, you wait for the Miao people to quickly retreat, if you don't retreat, I will treat you as an invasion."

The captain shouted boldly.

It's just that the Miao people didn't seem to hear his warning, and they still surrounded them with expressionless faces.

There were nearly fifty or sixty people on the other side, and all of them looked extremely fierce.

Heifu's team could only retreat a little bit.

"Signal soldiers! Get ready to signal! ”

The captain ordered anxiously.

When a soldier heard this, he panicked and took a cannon from his waist, but he was so nervous that he couldn't blow the fire no matter how hard he tried.

Thank you Miao people obviously have some understanding of the military composition of the Qi country, and even the soldier took out the artillery battle, among the Miao people who surrounded him.

Hearing only a soft pop, the signalman suddenly screamed, clutched his neck and fell to the ground wailing, and soon died silent.

is dead, which means that these people have the consciousness of completely turning their faces with Qi State,

That also means that the last chance for the team to delay is gone.

A sturdy Miao man waved his hand forward, and dozens of barbarians immediately swarmed up and killed the Qi people.

Compared with the Miao people who only wore a piece of crotch cloth, even if this squad was only a militia of the Qi State, it was not comparable to these natives in terms of equipment.

Although these militiamen were a little flustered, with the strength of only nine people, they barely resisted the attack of the inferior.

But the enemy is also very cunning, their purpose is only to rob, and they do not want to exchange their lives with these Qi people.

The Miao people did not fight to the death with the Qi people, but threatened the circle formation to continue to fat and provoke, throwing a few stones at one time, and making an offensive posture for a while, which frightened the Qi people to switch the direction of defense in a hurry and were tired of coping.

"Stand back! Keep signaling! ”

The captain shouted.

But these recruits, who have seen the real battlefield there, have long been frightened and helpless in the face of an enemy who is far more numerous than themselves.

At this time, Heifu did not know what gave him courage, and he quickly grabbed the cannon and fire fold from the dead signal soldier, and then hurriedly ran into the circle.

"Captain! Cover me! ”

"Defense! Defend quickly! ”

Seeing this, the captain shouted loudly.

Seeing this, the Miao people who were making trouble were suddenly stimulated, and they screamed and launched an attack on the circle array.

Fortunately, these Miao people only have rudimentary blowing arrows.

But this rudimentary weapon is only suitable for sneak attacks, and it does not play a role in the chaotic battle.

For a while, there was a loud shout of killing.

Heifu shuddered and fiddled for a while before he reluctantly blew the fire on fire and hurriedly raised the cannonball.

Listening to the crisp sound of "whoosh", the cannon flew straight into the sky.

"Bang!"

The artillery burst out, and the shouting stopped instantly.

The Miao people showed a panicked look, and on the side of Daqi, after the explosion sounded, it seemed to have added a lot of courage invisibly, and the panicked mood suddenly stabilized.

"Reinforcements are coming soon, everyone will kill the enemy with me!"

The captain roared wildly, pulled out his waist knife, and took the lead to kill these Miao people.

The soldiers, who were inspired, also drew their swords and killed them.

Under the decline of morale, these dozens of Miao people were actually defeated and retreated by less than ten Qi militias.

The Miao people were suddenly shocked, if they couldn't solve these Qi people in a short time, if they waited for the Qi people to come over, then they would die without a place to bury.

"Retreat! Fall back! ”

Seeing that the Miao people were leaving, the militiamen who saw the blood were extremely excited at the moment, and roared and chased after the Miao people to kill them.

For a time, nearly ten Miao people died tragically under the steel knives of Qi people.

But these Miao people are far more familiar with this mountain and forest land than the Qi people, walking in the mountains is almost like walking on the ground, and the Qi people can't catch up, so they have to return in a huff.

In this encounter, the Qi people defeated dozens of Miao people head-on at the cost of one dead and three wounded.

This made these militiamen very excited, and they lost their sense of fear when they looked at the dead bodies all over the ground, because these would be their battle exploits.

"Hef! You're doing a great job this time! When I get back to the city, I'll report you for your work. ”

Hefu was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly straightened his waist and gave a military salute.

"Thank you, Captain!"

The captain patted Haifu on the shoulder and said, "Good job!" Maybe you can be a captain like me, maybe you can go to the regular army as a petty officer if you have the opportunity, and you won't have to worry about it in this life. ”

Where did Heifu think about such a long-term thing, and when the captain said it, he suddenly became a little fluttering.

began to fantasize about the wonderful picture of his return home.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and I saw a group of fifty cavalry roaring towards this side.

The cavalry officer saw the corpses all over the ground and said in a deep voice: "Where is your captain!" ”

"Meet Shangguan! The subordinate is the captain of the second militia team! ”

"Is that your call for help?"

The officer said.

He Jin hurriedly said: "There are hundreds of Miao people attacking our department, thanks to Shangguan's timely rescue, once the danger of our department is solved, and my majesty and alien race are raised." ”
