Originally, there were some villagers in Luoda Township, but this time when Ma Zhankui led the people and horses to come back, there was only a ruin, and there were no chickens and dogs left, and a few Luoda Township soldiers wept bitterly, shouting the names of their relatives and looking for the traces of the blind dates, not knowing whether the family was dead or alive, shouting to avenge the dead father and villagers

Ma Zhankui did not have time to listen to the soldiers' gambling and swearing, but inspected the hidden cave, the grain was removed, the weeds were overgrown, and the entrance of the cave saw that the two hundred stones of grain in the cave were intact and preserved, piled up like a mountain, which made the rebel soldiers smile, and after marching for ten days, the grain bags they carried with them were already empty, and they were hungry to live, and now they could replenish their supplies

Running into the cave, a dozen soldiers were loading food and filling the bags of grain they carried with them, which was the foundation of the rebel army, and with these provisions, the rebel army had the motivation to continue fighting

Ma Zhankui stood at the mouth of the cave, rarely showed a smile, and loudly boosted morale: "Brothers, there is nothing terrible in the Songwu Army, the villagers hate us, we will definitely avenge the traitors, fake foreign devils, and hide in the Songwu Army, as long as there is a chance, we will first eliminate the group of cannibals and beasts in Li Ziying, who do not spit out bones."

A hungry cronie next to him encouraged loudly: "Brothers, Li Ziying is a defeated general of our rebel army, the last time let the traitors escape, this time Diebe County is the place where Li Ziying died, the countryside was so ruined by dogs, the enemy thought that this would make us surrender, this is wishful thinking, the spirit of the elder brother is endless, we are all unswerving nationalist fighters, keep in mind the dream ······of expelling the Tartars and restoring the glory of China."

This Bima Zhankui can also say that the officer seems to have the posture of grabbing power and spitting at the mouth, telling the great ideal of the elders' association, and with the grain and the army's heart, the rebel soldiers are busy carrying food, and suddenly there are bursts of gunfire at the foot of the mountain, and even the roar of grenades is heard, and one of the actions of the soldiers who carry the grain has stopped and watched the situation in the direction of Luodaxiang

"Hidden" Ma Zhankui was the first to hide in the grass, looking nervous, raising his binoculars to look at the smoke of gunpowder, Luo Daxiang was in a complicated mood, this time the Qing army surrounded him, there were only more than 400 people around him, and they were scattered into two groups, he personally led more than 100 cronies to run to the cave to carry food, and the other more than 300 soldiers still stayed in Luo Daxiang to rest, don't be eaten by the enemy like dumplings, how did the enemy touch it, how did it get to the entrance of the village, there was a firefight, and the secret posts were all dead ten miles away

Ma Zhankui had a chill, listening to the sound of gunfire, he knew that the enemy's firepower was fierce, hesitating whether to fight or withdraw, whether to answer, and the three hundred soldiers in the village couldn't help but check the retreat behind him, and whether there was an enemy ambush on the left side of the sheep intestine trail at the foot of the mountain, this grain storage point should have been discovered by the enemy, Luoda Township is a trap for the enemy, and the end of nine deaths and life is ah

Ma Zhankui couldn't get down in his heart, and after he decided not to break his wrist without a strong man, he saw that there were not many Qing soldiers and horses scattered in the farmland around the village, and the Qing army was digging fortifications in the farmland to block the main road in the village, and wanted to besiege the rebels in Daxiang and did not charge

"Cheng Laosi went to inspect which group of enemies it was to find out the reality of the enemy" Ma Zhankui opened his mouth and issued a military order, the enemy does not move, I do not move, the war has not yet reached the moment of life and death, Ma Zhankui neither wants to go, nor does he want to lead more than 100 people to follow the enemy's ass to launch a charge, he also has to see the situation clearly, see which way the Qing army battle flag, if Zhang Yaosong's military army is coming, more than 300 soldiers in Liuluo Township can only ask for more blessings, the rebel army does not do a hard battle with the enemy, if the Diebu County regiment trains the armed rebel army, it will hurt Liu Sheng's militia team, and if the militia does not survive, it may be a bloody defeat and shame

Of course, if that flag is a "brocade" flag, Ma Zhankui will sneak up and sneak attack the old Hunan army, and the favorable terrain will not be needed, and even the two-sided attack will be completely crushed by the old Hunan army, and now the rebel army does not dare to mention the name of Liu Jintang when talking about the tiger, and the traitor Dong Fuxiang is the demon in the sleep of countless rebels, Liu Jintang and Dong Fuxiang are the terrible enemies of the rebel army

As for Li Guolou, the rebel army of Li Ziying unanimously believed that it was completely possible to eat the embroidered pillow and a bag of grass of the Li Ziying team, Li Guolou boasted that there were many ingredients, and the Li Ziying Battalion's achievements were blown out of the bubble, and after the battle with Li Ziying outside Yan'an, the rebel army was full of confidence in defeating this team that bullied the weak and feared the hard, and wanted to fight with the Li Ziying in Diebu County, but Li Guolou was very timid and always acted with the large army and the Songwu Army, so that the rebel army could not find a chance

Ma Zhankuiyao Town was once beaten by Li Guolou personally led by Li Ziying, and he almost took his life, but he would not rehabilitate Li Guolou, Yun Yiyun said that Li Guolou was fake and empty, and Li Ziying was vulnerable, and he knew in his heart that the current rebel army could not even gnaw on a Li battalion, but he did not dare to disobey the eldest brother Lei Heng, formulate a combat strategy, and put the decisive battle target of the rebel army on the weak Li Ziying

"If Li Ziying dares to offend my strong army, I will fight with it," this is the instruction of Lei Henggao, the leader of the rebel army, and remember every soldier in his heart

"I personally led the team down the mountain," Cheng Laosi did not hesitate to accept the dangerous order, waved his hand, and let a team of soldiers follow him down the mountain

More than 30 people, all carrying American-made Ha begging guns, sneaking towards the foot of the mountain, thinking that they were unaware, and wanted to capture a few Qing army prisoners, so as to find out the enemy's reality, Cheng Laosi never thought that the terrain here, the Qing army was familiar with the Qing army, and the large army had come to Luoda Township to clear and suppress, how could they not know the importance of Scorpion Ridge

Cheng Laosi led more than 30 people to sneak to the foot of the mountain, and the action was swift, led by the soldiers of Luoda Township, through the trees, and the Qing army in the field was getting closer and closer

The two Luo Daxiang soldiers walked to the front of the line and waved their hands to let the comrades behind them follow quickly, there was no danger here

"Boom, boom", the sound of popping beans echoed in the jungle, and hundreds of guns shot at the rebel squad together

Before more than 30 rebel soldiers reached the foot of the mountain, they were ambushed by the Qing army, and more than a dozen soldiers in front of them fell to the ground like cornfield sorghum

Cheng Laosi moved like a rabbit, his vigilance was quite high, he heard the gunfire in front of him, he drilled into the dense bushes, regardless of the skin being cut by the branches, the gaps on his body were bloody, his clothes and pants were torn, Cheng Laosi ran away, and even threw the towel on his head, afraid that the white towel would become the target, and ran to the foothills, as soon as he heard the gunshot, he knew that there was such a dense ambush, the gunshot, the bullet grazed his ears, and the grenade roared behind him, and the chance of surviving was slim, and his comrades around him were hit by cold guns and fell to the ground, but he still survived, and even rolled and crawled his hands and feet and climbed the mountain, and even the spear did not know where to throw it, panting and shouting"Ma Sange retreated, we are ambushed here, it is not easy to stay here for a long time, the enemy has already touched it, there are at least hundreds of enemies in the mountains and forests"

Ma Zhankui saw that the team of more than 30 people came back in only two quarters of an hour, and the enemy was only Cheng Laosi, and the enemy was under his nose, this was a Qing army that was good at mountain warfare, and the lethality was amazing, and he ate more than 30 of his elite soldiers in the blink of an eye, and he didn't even know which way the enemy was, so he was really scared, the enemy set a trap and let him drill into the trap of the Qing army this time, and he didn't know whether the back road was safe

Although the food in the cave is tempting, but his life is critical, after a little hesitation, Ma Zhankui gritted his teeth and said: "Seal the entrance of the cave, and we will retreat to the back mountain."

Ma Zhankui still has a fluke mentality, unwilling to burn and hide food, thinking that the Qing army is not short of food, and never thought about how much evil the food will produce to the enemy, it is no wonder that Ma Zhankui, he used to be a sentry officer of the Qing army's baggage battalion, and the moths of the heavy battalion were all raised, fat and strong, and he never tasted the taste of hunger, until the current rebel army is not short of food, he knows that the ten hidden grain storage points can fully support his subordinates, as long as the elite soldiers pass this hurdle, the old soldier leads the soldiers, and the spark burns all over the entire Qing Dynasty, just like Yan'an, he can pull up thousands of teams in one day

More than 80 rebel soldiers in the cave resealed the cave with their hands and feet, and covered the cave entrance with branches, this time the hidden cave entrance was not like the last time, and it was not leaky, but they also did not care about excellence, shoddy and indiscriminate camouflage, the cave entrance was artificially camouflaged, and it was obvious that you could see the door by looking at it a few more times

Four rebels escaped from Luoda Township and braved the hail of bullets and bullets to climb the mountain to report the battle to Ma Zhankui

"Third Brother Ma is the people of Li Ziying, our team of men and horses are left to fight out of the village, and the four of us are left to rush out, and the others have all sacrificed Third Brother Ma, the brothers in the village are waiting for you to save it."

"It's the banner of Li Ziying, can you see it clearly, can Wang Bianyu hold Luoda Township," Ma Zhankui said quickly, and asked the four soldiers about the situation of more than 300 soldiers in Luoda Township

"I saw clearly, it was the Li Ziying military flag, the enemy arranged the troops, the west entrance of the village and the east entrance of the village, the brothers suffered heavy casualties, Wang Yingguan is building fortifications in the village, preparing to coexist with the position," a soldier nodded quite seriously, and was able to climb the mountain alive, so that the four of them were secretly glad

Ma Zhankui raised his binoculars and tried to see the enemy's flag at the foot of the mountain, but it was too far away, and a few flags were scattered in the farmland, and the pattern on the flag could not be seen clearly

"Well, it turned out to be a team of traitors, no wonder they could run under the nose of our army, Li Guolou likes to play Yin Laozi, this time I will accompany you to the end, wait until it gets dark, there are you, look at Ma Zhankui, you take half of the people to stay on the mountain, here you command, I will take people to move the rescue soldiers, insist on victory, find a way to pass the news to the comrades in the village, this time we will eliminate the Li Ziying people" Ma Zhankui stood on the mountain and observed the movement of the Qing army from all angles, and in the farmland at the foot of the mountain, the Qing army was digging a trench and did not rush into the village, and the way of fighting was really the same as that of Li Ziying, and it could not be Liu Jintang's old Hunan army, which was beyond doubt

Ma Zhankui's courage is stronger than the right talent, Li Ziying is a team that does not dare to fight in close combat, although the weapons are better than the rebel army, there are several light copper cannons are bombarding the main road at the entrance of the village, but the combat effectiveness of the rebel army is superior, ambush in the village more than 300 rebel troops can completely hold the position, sit and wait for help

Ma Zhankui thought of his eldest brother Lei Heng's earnest entrustment, and saw that Luo Daxiang was still in the hands of the rebel army, and there were not many soldiers and horses in the Li Zi Battalion, and he didn't even dare to attack a small village, and he was ready to pull out the team hiding in the mountains and fight with the Li Zi Battalion

"It's me, I must pass the news to Wang Bian Yu in the village," Cheng Laosi said to his lips and retracted it, asking him to take thirty or forty brothers, Scorpion Mountain, and the Qing army to fight guerrillas, or let the rescuers come, and only know whether the Li Ziying is a mule or a horse

Cheng Laosi didn't say what he thought in his heart, Li Ziying's tactical idea was to eliminate the living force of the rebel army, Li Guolou used the tactics of encirclement and reinforcement, and the four soldiers who fled to the mountains were able to pass through several blockade lines, and the enemy deliberately let them go up the mountain, Cheng Laosi was an old minister of the Elders' Association, but now the rebels are fluctuating, traitors and deserters are emerging in an endless stream, and every day there are brothers who are missing, and he no longer trusts his comrades-in-arms around him, and he also has reservations about the Yan'an uprising of the Elders, and is ready to fight back at any time

During the day, the goal was obvious, Cheng Laosi did not send his subordinates into the village, prepared to go around the mountain and the Qing army, and led the remaining more than 30 soldiers to leave the secret cave entrance and hide into the dense forest

Cheng Laosi looked at his comrades-in-arms around him with sharp eyes, and said firmly: "Brothers, we have been hiding in the mountains, and it is not a solution, Li Guolou is still benevolent and righteous to the rebels on the battlefield, I think we should go down the mountain and surrender, what do you say, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, gather and disperse, and if you don't want to surrender, you can go into the jungle and continue to fight to the end, everyone has grenades, and they can't end up together."

At this time, the rebel army no longer set up a supervision team, and did not dare to shoot the fleeing soldiers, and the nightmare of the camp bombing in Lazikou made these elder brothers recognize the situation, and they could only use comradeship, national righteousness, emotion, and reason, so that their subordinates could unite together and continue to fight with the Qing army to the end

Carrying a spear and a few grenades at his waist, a soldier hesitated a little and looked at his comrades, took a few steps forward, walked to Cheng Laosi's side, and was silent, showing that he had no strength to continue fighting, and the second soldier took four steps and also stood on the other side of Cheng Laosi, the third soldier, the fourth soldier, and the fifth soldier······ One by one, the soldiers stood on Cheng Laosi's side and made their position clear with practical actions, they didn't want to fight this civil war, surrounded by Qing fortresses, and the rebel army could not break out, and Zuo Zongtang arranged an encirclement

There are no toiling people in Diebe County, waiting for the liberation of the rebel army of the Elders, those aborigines hate the rebel army to the core, they are caught by the nomads and Tibetans, and even the bones will be eaten by the Tibetans, and the deserted jungle is suitable for savages to live, and they have no future

Under the group effect, a few hesitant Yu soldiers also stood on Cheng Laosi's side, the four soldiers who escaped from Luoda Township looked at each other, drooped their heads, and walked into Cheng Laosi's camp
