Although Li Yunkai was small, he could already speak big words, waved his fist, smashed it on the table, and shouted: "The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road, as long as our army is sudden, brave, and the raid is successful, the bandits can be wiped out."

Li Guolou nodded and said: "Well, that's the reason, but we don't do the three-plate axe Cheng biting gold, we still have to prepare for the next move, and consider the difficulties carefully, so that in the subsequent battle, continue to suppress the enemy's firepower, the reserve team is placed in the mountain col, we must rush to the battlefield within half an hour, smash the enemy's rear army, and completely let the enemy ignore the tail, like a dead snake, stunned by our slaughter, Li Yuncau, do you have any problems?"

Li Yunzhuo had a calm personality, looked at the map and said, "Master Xuezheng, how many people do you give me?"

"Eight hundred centaurs, you are Cheng Biting Jin's fourth axe," Li Guolou joked, originally a little dissatisfied with Li Yunyu, for a family accident, but now he is relieved, young people, the pursuit of noble love is also a kind of progress of the times,

Li Yunzhu followed everyone and smiled, peeking at Li Guolou's expression, he is a very scheming person, he can stand out among thousands of students, it is the light of the ancestral grave, and Li Guolou is related to the past, this is the rapid promotion, the command ability has been level, but Li Guolou will beat him at any time, so that he respects and fears Li Guolou,

Zheng Hengdan said: "Lord Xuezheng, the stone bridge in Shimen Village is very important, we must blow it up, we must not give the enemy a chance to retreat, we have to eat a bite of meat,"

Li Guolou looked at the map and nodded approvingly: "The little flat shoulder is now enough to carry the burden, that's right, the stone bridge in Shimen Village is very important, if this stone bridge is blown up, the enemy's weapons and ammunition will not be able to be transported, the convoy is our trophy, and none of those girls can escape,"

Li Guolou didn't finish speaking, everyone had already laughed, these people are Li Guolou's henchmen, of course they know how dark Li Guolou's heart is, although some people are not ashamed of this kind of behavior, but the soldiers and long husbands under their hands are full of love for female prisoners of war, so that the soldiers and long husbands work hard, always give them some sweetness, this is already an unspeakable secret of the Qing army, the old soldier dreams of having a beautiful and virtuous wife, and the young and beautiful female prisoner of war is the first choice of soldiers,

Fu Guozhong stroked his rough big hand and said: "Master Xuezheng, give me this task, I will definitely blow up the stone bridge, I can't complete the task, and I am willing to be severely punished by military law,"

Li Guolou nodded slightly and said: "Okay, the task of blowing up the Shimen Bridge will be handed over to you, now you will take a team of people, disguise yourself and hide in Shimen Village, don't let the people see through your purpose, and blow up the Shimen Bridge at a fatal moment,"

"Yes, guarantee to complete the task," Fu Guozhong took the order and left, his thick body was like a wall, he had already been reborn, he was willing to spill blood for Li Guolou, money can't buy ideals, the Xinwu Army is an army with lofty ideals, in this environment, he will be willing to sacrifice his ego for the "Xinwu" battle flag,

After the meeting made a major decision, it is the refinement of the tactical arrangement, in addition to having a sense of the overall situation, the commander who uses the soldiers like a god must have a delicate and clear heart, just like Zhuge Liang, everything must be done personally, understand what each squad is doing, where it is located, this is a qualified commander, only in this meticulous tactical arrangement, the officers will learn how to allocate various resources, this is to find the law of war in the groping, everyone expressed their opinions, and soon planned all parts of the battlefield,

When everyone was talking about how to conceal the fortifications, Li Yunzhu suddenly interjected: "Lord Xuezheng, what if the bandits who hold the calf to answer the Sun brothers, those bandits are more familiar with the terrain of Shenfeng Ridge than us, and the ghost knows where to drill out and stab us,"

As soon as Li Guolou heard this, his face immediately changed, how could he leave out the bandits holding the calf, there must be bandit forces hidden in Weishan Lake in the west, Weishan Lake is less than 100 miles away from Shenfeng Ridge, and the bandit forces will change the battle situation of Shenfeng Ridge at any time,

Bandits are like Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe, good at using the terrain, charging without killing, proficient in guerrilla tactics, the best at ambush warfare, bandits will run desperately, slippery and tricky, and will never put out of formation and expose their weaknesses.

Li Guolou pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Li Yun is thoughtful, there must still be a group of bandits hidden in Weishan Lake, for this group of bandits, we have no way for the time being, but I have a trick to deal with those bandits, that is, to use the strategy of suspicious soldiers, with a small number of troops to tempt that gang of bandits, and those bandits dare not move, this is the nature of foxes,"

Zheng Hengdan said yes again and again, others think that this trick is feasible, and everyone has no perfect plan, ambush warfare requires the combat effectiveness of the whole army, and it is impossible to divide a reserve army to resist the bandits in Weishan Lake,

Li Yunkai raised his hand and said, "Master Xuezheng, let me go to meet those bandits and show the new martial arts flag,"

Li Guolou said solemnly: "Li Yunkai, I can only give you fifty horses, if you let a large number of bandits come to Shenfeng Ridge, I will cure you for the crime of losing the battle,"

"Yes, I promise not to let a bandit run to Shenfeng Ridge, fifty horsemen is too much, give me thirty sharpshooters," Li Yunkai would bargain, and also saved twenty horses for Li Guolou,

Don't look at Li Yunkai, he is small, and he is not a sharpshooter, but he dares to charge into battle, and his style of not fearing death is awe-inspiring, Li Yunkai has scars on his body, this is the soldier's medal of honor, none of the officers present dared to make fun of Li Yunkai, they all thought that he dared to speak and act, and did not boast.

Li Guolou cared for Li Yun to open the collar and fasten it, and said with a smile: "Okay, this time I will let Wei Qun take thirty horses, commanded by you, and the work will be done beautifully,"

"Order, the work has to be done beautifully," Li Yunkai opened his eyes with tears rolling in his eyes, grinning, his life has long belonged to the Xinwu Army, for this glorious battle flag, ready to die on the battlefield at any time,

Zheng Heng sat on the table, and soon wrote a military order, after Li Guolou signed and sealed, he handed it to Li Yunkai, it was a silent farewell, Li Yunkai waved to everyone, turned around and left, the dangerous task always had to be done, without considering the way back, the new army was fighting a battle without the support of local warlords, bearing sorrow and joy alone, facing the danger of defeat, but this group of soldiers did not retreat, let alone complain, but burned with the desire to fight,

Set up an ambush in Shenfeng Ridge, no local guide, Li Guolou asked Miao Fanlu and He Xiangu to screen the mountain people, and finally picked out the two mountain people who dragged their families with their mouths, Zhang Haojie lost money and lost money, under the combination of soft and hard, the new martial army had four guides, for this reason, Li Guolou criticized Zhang Haojie fiercely, saying that Zhang Haojie does not use his brains to do things, and will only deal with things simply, almost making the new martial army blind,

Zhang Haojie was tired of being scolded by Li Guolou for a long time, he admitted his mistake, he was a hundred unconvinced in his heart, and he didn't make it clear at first, now he is taking him as a villain, how does he know that there is still a road in the deep trench, and when Zhang Haojie saw that the path in the deep trench could get out of Shenfeng Ridge, he couldn't help but gasp, and secretly admired Li Guolou's thoughtfulness, if he didn't accept it, he deserved to be shot by military law, Zhang Haojie paid out of his own pocket and gave the two guides twenty silver dollars,

The two guides held ten silver dollars in their hands, and almost knelt down for Zhang Haojie, it was worth this crime, their two families had money to build a big tile house, and even the money for their son to marry his daughter-in-law, it was better to fight.

The enchanting He Xiangu thought she was the only one, how could those mountain girls compare with her, she spoke half-brightly and half-darkly in front of Li Guolou, and was blasted out by Li Guolou, taking advantage of the breakfast break, Li Guolou said to Miao Fanlu: "Don't mix up in Yihequan, Zhu Honglan is black, and if you mix it up, the identity of a traitor will be confirmed, and there will be no bones, now we are still friends when we are separated, you can still make a fortune by using the power of Yihequan, and when you meet Vermilion Lantern in the future, you can still let her toast you with the face of a benefactor, you are the only man in the Miao family, let's go back, ”

Miao Fanlu hesitated again and again, and muttered: "Second brother, I can't hide it from you with a few flower intestines, this time I listen to you, and I will no longer follow the vermilion lantern, but I am also not a small man, and I have not yet started a family, so I always have to take a few daughters-in-law back, in this radius of a hundred miles, the beautiful girls are married to the bandits in Lincheng, saying that they are married to officers, in fact, there is not much difference from robbery, you know, they want to lay a black hand on the officers of the Lincheng garrison, they are all twisted remnants, they have rebelled, rebelled, and they are commonplace, second brother, This kind of black hand is handed over to my subordinates, and the girls let my brother pick first,"

"Smack,"

Li Guolou shook his hand and gave Miao Fanlu a slap, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, a few wives, one will turn the sky upside down,"

Miao Fanlu stroked the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Second brother, I'm in business, I always have to bargain,"

Li Guolou rolled his eyes and said: "Miao Fanlu, don't make a mistake when you go back to Beijing, don't mention anything about the new military army, bring it into the coffin for me,"

Miao Fanlu didn't think about it, so he said: "Second brother, I swear to my mother,"

Li Guolou said sharply: "Miao Fanlu, close your beak, be careful of being killed by me,"

Miao Fanlu's eyes smiled into a slit, he is Li Guolou's eyes and ears, and when he deals with Yihe Boxing in the future, he still has to rely on his line, in the Yihe Boxing Club, the light of justice surrounds the vermilion lamp, Miao Fanlu belongs to poisonous snakes, specializing in despicable deeds, there is this person in every community, but Miao Fanlu saw that Li Guolou had no temper, this is called one thing to one thing, and he is willing to be Li Guolou's minion,

Li Guolou watched Miao Fanlu eat noodles, his expression did not move, his heart turned over the river and the sea, and his mouth was full of flavors, this time the Boxers worked so hard, opening the way for the new martial army, and even the grain and grass were funded by the Boxers, so that he sincerely thanked Zhu Honglan for his support, but the Boxers evolved from the White Lotus Sect, the things of the Boxers faith were messy, there were gods, ghosts and Buddhas, and even the characters in the Romance were offered to the shrines by the believers of the Boxers, and the Boxers did not appear a strong figure, it was a loose organization, and there was no unified faith, and the future was full of variables, The Boxers will convert to the cult at any time and embark on the road of confrontation with the imperial court.

Li Guolou didn't trust Zhu Honglan, he saw that Zhu Honglan was ambitious, helping the weak and punishing the strong in the countryside, and had an ulterior purpose, but now he can't do anything black, who will restrain the Yihequan in Shandong in the future, Li Guolou couldn't help but think of the iron-clad imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the governor of Shandong should still use his own family,

Li Guolou decided to wait for the end of Shandong's affairs, and wrote to impeach Zhang Renjun, the governor of Shandong, this person is not soft when he should be soft, and he can't be hard when he should be hard, he is simply not a man, how can he be like him, dare to be the first in the world, and fight 10,000 bandits alone,

Li Guolou flipped through a list of businessmen, which was provided to him by Miao Fanlu, and the hostages captured by the Sun brothers this time were all members of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, including the names of Du Xianyu and Chen Bulei, and the first place was the French businessman Robinson, as well as Hu Xueyan and Sheng Huaixuan's disciples.

These fifty-five businessmen alone, the Sun brothers can extort millions of silver dollars, some of the businessmen's families have already sent money to the Sun brothers, paid the ransom, Chen Bulei and other ten Qing people have been released by Sun Meifang, and now the hostages hidden in the calf, there are people with names and surnames, and forty-five big businessmen,

Sun Meifang has already released the word, the Qing merchants can pay the ransom, and they will be released as soon as the money is in hand, and the families of the ten Qing merchants have not made up enough ransom, Du Xian is on the list,

These forty-five businessmen, some of them are friends of the Li family, and some are competitors of the Li family, but at this moment, Li Guolou has no pleasure of falling into the well, but is thinking about how to rescue these forty-five hostages.

Hugging the calf is like an upside-down gourd on the terrain, there are about 20 acres of basin on the top of the mountain, but the mountainside is very narrow, climbed up by a steep mountain wall, there are climbing stones or embedded with wooden stakes on both sides, and the climbing must grasp the wooden stakes or climbing stones, and there is a danger of falling into the abyss.

According to the legend of the locals, because the big cow can not go up the mountain, and there is an arable basin on the mountain, so the calf has to be carried up the mountain to raise, so it has the name of "holding the calf".

Bandits can also cultivate their own crops, the Sun brothers have hundreds of stones of grain and grass hidden on the mountain of Baoqinggu, enough for thousands of people to survive for a few years, along the mountainous terrain, relying on geography to build a fortress, the Sun brothers have taken precautions, there has already been a way back, how to fight this battle,

However, to Li Guolou's relief, Fei Lingxue pretended to turn his face with the vermilion lantern, and charged forward when he kidnapped the hostages, the dead British businessman was stabbed to death by Fei Lingxue's flying knife, and now the horse thieves have mixed into the calf, just waiting for his call,

"Wang Ba Lamb, Wang Yunteng dared to rebel, I was caught, I will widow him," Li Guolou couldn't stand it anymore, slammed the table, rose from the ground, walked out of the farmhouse, looked up at the direction of Shenfeng Ridge, the morning breeze was blowing, bringing a breath of spring,
