Chapter 532: The First Achievement of the Bloodless Blade
The night is dark. Pitch black on the yellow earth. An army marches on a wet meadow. A team of more than four hundred people. There are only a few horse lanterns to guide the way. The night is the enemy. The endless blackness is terrifying. In the same way, the night is also an opportunity. No one dared to march in the dark. But the cavalry of the Li Zi battalion still straddled their horses in the night. The enemy already knew the whereabouts of the cavalry of the Li Zi battalion. But Li Guolou still has to gamble. Bet Lei Heng didn't react in time. The mobile troops did not dare to go out of the city. And the rebels guarding the fortresses along the way. He will be broken one by one.
Fan Dahui quietly straddled the horse. Peek at Li Guolou in front of him. Danger is near. Isn't Li Guolou afraid? Can you take the risk? He had never thought of being on the battlefield. The ideal in my heart is to be a high-ranking official.' Mix 'eat' mix 'drink' Mix' an officer's hat. Have a good time. In the past, I didn't even dare to walk at night. Now he is leading his troops into battle. Still at the forefront of the war . Ideals change with the environment. Fan Dahui is ambitious and does not worry. Accustomed to the sound of gunfire. Looks mature and sophisticated. In fact, that fear lingers in my heart. It has been lingering. He's still afraid of death. I am most afraid of being killed by a cold gun. But for the sake of Li Guolou in front of him. Fan Dahui is willing to give his life.
Everyone has a god to worship in their minds. In the minds of the soldiers of the Li Zi Battalion. Li Guolou is that god. As long as Li Guolou orders. The warriors dared to rush forward. The night is invisible. But the faint few oil lamps. It is a beacon that points out the way forward. Li Guolou is by his side. It's a power. A 'stirring' power.' Inspire every warrior. Without fear, he looked into the dark distance.
Stalking in the dark. It's easy to be spotted by enemies. There will be danger at any time. It can be said that it is a taboo for soldiers. The Qing soldiers never used this tactic. But Li Guolou did not hesitate to 'revue' the trace. It's courage. It's also a tactic. In the case that neither side nor the enemy 'touches' the bottom line. See who's the real warrior. It has only been two days since the rebels pulled the flag and rebelled. The human heart has not yet been attached. Hui guerrillas, bandits, rebels. Fight for each other. The resultant force has not yet been formed. The longer it drags on. The more unfavorable it is to the Qing army. The people's various dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty. will erupt. There will even be more Qing troops bombing the camp. It is necessary to grasp the opportunity in this chaotic battle. Finding the Dawn of Victory. Defeat Lei Heng's department. Occupy the city of Yan'an.
"Order the team to rest in place. Depart in an hour." Li Guolou grabbed the reins of the horse in front of the stream. Look up into the dark distance. No matter what's ahead. He's going to run through it.
Five drum hours. Li Guolou ordered to stop advancing. Give the team a break for an hour. Let the war horse have enough foot strength. Prepare for the battle of dawn. The warriors fed the horses and drank water. Remove a piece of salt. Let the war horse 'lick' the food. Affectionately patted the horse's neck. People and horses also have feelings. Each cavalryman developed a deep bond with the horse. Only by uniting people and horses can we move forward on the battlefield.
The warriors seemed to rest calmly. But the nerves are jumping tight. Unknown Boundaries. Enemies hiding in dark corners. Dawn is coming. The battle begins immediately. The ending is happy or sad. The fighters are full of fighting spirit. Have confidence to defeat the rebellious Brotherhood. The rabble is the opponent of the Li Zi battalion of the 'elite' soldiers.
The faint light of the morning sun peeked out of the thick clouds. Li Guolou sits on the grass. There are a lot of things in my head. Did Liu Songshan of Guojiaqiao get the news? Xu Zhanbiao, Huang Ding, Guo Baochang, will they be desperate to kill Yan'an. What kind of strategic deployment will Lingzhou's Zuo Zongtang make.
There are also big babies and Mu San, will they 'make' the fake to come true. He was 'bewitched' by his subordinates and rebelled against the Qing Dynasty again. It's going to make him a land of all sorts. Attacked and abused by courtiers. The death of Lian Gao Liansheng. will be blamed on him.
Where are the cavalry led by Battle and Cheng Kun. Will it be besieged by the rebels. All mysteries. No answer. Better do it than wish it done. Zhao Zilong, who was full of guts. I'm still afraid of a bird. He has to rely on the fist in his hand. Smash the rebels' dreams.
There are only more than 400 people in the Li Zi camp. This bit of family money will be taken out desperately. Is it worth it in the end. Sometimes it can't be too clear. The brain rushes forward. Victory is won by fighting. Calculations are just on paper. Strange changes in battlefield cloud 'waves'. He is confident that the rebels will fight in the nest.
There was silence all around. The warriors sat silently on the ground to rest. Many of the fighters had fallen asleep on a blanket of 'hair'. Li Guolou patted the weeds on his buttocks. Kick Fan Dahui's ass with the momentum. "Let's go."
The long line is very long. The advantage of such a march is that it will not easily fall into the enemy's ambush circle. Cavalry has a strong 'mobility', and cavalry has obvious advantages in field battles. You can attack at any time. If you want to fight, you can fight. Just go if you want.
The vanguard has traveled to the new kiln area. There was a rebellious Qing army stationed ahead. In front of the cavalry of the Li Zi battalion. You can see a beacon tower more than three feet high. It's stuck right in the middle of the mountain beam. Li Yunkai raised his eyes and looked. There is no snow mountain lion flag. On the beacon tower is the sun and moon battle flag.
"'Milk' 'milk'. You want our lives. I didn't know we had a bronze cannon." Li Yunkai put a cap on the revolver in his hand. Shouted: "Ma Da crotch. Shout to me forward. Show me the guy."
"Hey." Ma Da crotch takes out a piece of cloth from the bag on the horse's back. Unfold a flag tied to a bamboo pole. The prancing horse raises its flag to meet the enemy's beacon tower. The flag waving in the wind reads: "Avoid Death".
There are already dozens of gun barrels on the beacon aimed at Ma Da's crotch. The rebels' eyes widened. See the words on the flag. It has all kinds of flavors in the mouth. The heart is up and down. No one fired a shot. I want to hear what the persuaders have to say.
Military order. Death is like home. Ma Da crotch was very scared in his heart. But at the forefront. Only the fear of timidity can be discarded. Travel to within 100 meters. One hand waving the non-death flag. Put your other hand to your mouth. He roared loudly: "Brothers of the High Word Battalion. Your own people don't beat your own people. The Motherland is calling you back. Surrender and avoid death. Forgive somebody's past misdeeds. Who dares to order you to shoot. Shoot him to death. The reward is five hundred taels of silver. Oh. We are the men and horses of the Li Zi Battalion. We are brothers who have fought side by side. The most in the Li Zi battalion are artillery. It's all in the back too. It's too late for you······"
Ma Da's crotch keeps nagging. It is already fifty meters away from the beacon. Even frightened and confused shouted. Gu 'bewitched' the people on the beacon tower to surrender. The sound resounded in the sky. One person's voice is worth ten people.
The people on the beacon are still listening. No one pulled the trigger in their hands. Some of the fighters had tears in their eyes, and they were human beings. It's not a machine that only listens to military orders. Betrayal of the lord Gao Liansheng. Follow Lei Henggan of the Elders' Association to "drive out the Tartars. Restore China". Sounds very 'seductive' and 'confusing'. But it really dried. To withstand tremendous pressure. Family, consequences, ending, and slashing. These will all think. And the great god "Zuo Zongtang", who is feared by everyone, and they don't want to point their guns at their former comrades. I think about the glory of the old days. Hesitating. None of the guards went to tell the captain. are silently listening. The commander told them about rebellion. Now listen to a different sound. There is also spiritual enlightenment. What to do. They are military men. The only way to do it is to obey military orders. Sleepy 'confusion' made a dozen guards squeak no one.
Pedal, pedal, pedal. A captain with a 'meaty' face rushed upstairs. yelled: "'Bastard'. Why don't you notify me. I ordered to shoot. Shoot fast. Let the crows die early."
"Phew." The first shot was fired at the quiet dawn. A personal entourage followed behind the captain. Raise the 'hairy' gun. Pull the trigger on the captain in front of you. The barrel of the gun is smoking. Blood poured from the captain's back.
The immature face of his personal entourage beat his captain to death. What can fellow villagers do. What about the horse's head? Chop off the head of the 'chicken' and swear to only fart. It's time to recognize the situation.
"Brother Gaozi Battalion. We're anyway. Never be a betrayer of the motherland. I ordered the 'door' to be opened."
"I listen to Xiao Liu." A guard stood in line. Take a stand. Naturally, he stood beside Liu Guoli. In the past, I looked down on Liu Guoli, who could only pour a spittoon. It didn't come to the moment of truth. He will be the first to come forward.
"I also listen to Liu Guoli's orders." The second guard took a stand.' Shoot' hole is one less barrel again.
"I'm going to tear down that ghostly flag. It's disgusting to look at."
"Let's go open the 'door'. Oh our high guards. Alas, alas, alas." The guards on the beacon were weeping silently. Burst out with sincere feelings. How can there be any reason to betray one's master? In the minds of the warriors, Gao Liansheng is the master. Lei Heng is just a dog raised by his master. The dog that eats its owner 'messily' bites. It's not worth dying for a dog.
Lei Heng through a despicable raid. Kill the garrison Gao Liansheng. Lead the Brotherhood in a rebellion. This act of killing the master. Even the members of the Brotherhood have a grudge in their hearts. These guards have long since joined the Brotherhood. Accept the "expulsion of the Tartars. Restore my China". But the idea of loyalty is still very strong. Gao Liansheng's status is unassailable in the army. Lei Heng's move to kill Gao Liansheng. Didn't work well. Instead, let these Elders at the bottom of the hierarchy. recognized Lei Heng's face. The ungrateful and unrighteous. Where is it worth their lives.
"I'll talk to the loud 'door'." Liu Guolid 'exposed' his head. The big crotch of the horse waving the flag and shouting below. Shouted: "Loud 'door'. We're anyway. Wait. Open the 'door' right away."
Li Yunkai's two teams of sixty cavalry and the main force were separated by a long distance. At least an hour away. They didn't rest at night. Directly march to the 'gate' of the new kiln south.
If the Li Zi battalion attacks the beacon tower. There must be a cannon dragged in front of the beacon. The copper cannon body is light. Flexible handling. The cavalry of the Li Zi battalion carried five 'gates' of bronze cannons. Enough to deal with small fortresses along the way. To attack the beacon tower, you also need to make a ladder for the battle. There is no problem with taking it. But it takes time. Therefore, Li Yunkai adopts the strategy of attacking the heart. You can't go wrong with a try. Sure enough, the unsightly sun and moon flag. Thrown down from the beacon.
"Haha. It's better for me to be smart. The enemy has surrendered." Li Yunkai opened that immature face. Laugh like a 'flower' and take a piece of war on your body. I don't want to think about who gave him that "no death" banner .
The facial features of the oil gourd thief's eyebrows and rat eyes are crowded together. smiled: "Ma Da's crotch is the first gong. Later, I will return to Jingshili. It's a good bragga."
"Hahahaha." A group of rangers scattered in the distance. Haughty laughter. Showing off his mighty waving Li character battle flag. They are the bravest men in the army.
"Beware of deception. Get the guards out of the fort. Accept it anyway." Fu Guozhong's scheming appearance. Don't forget to teach the younger generations around you. There is a trace of sadness in my heart. His experience in fighting is not useful. The tactics used by the Li Zi battalion in fighting were different from those used in the past. I don't know if it's the young people who are ignorant and fearless. Or I'm getting old.
Li Yunkai smiled and nodded, "Hmm. I know this. Go in in for ten people. I'm not going to rush in. Fu Guozhong, this beacon tower is 'handed over' to you. Lead these bunnies to sweep the new kiln area for me. The people who jumped out to make trouble. Give it to me······ I don't need to talk about that."
Fu Guozhong 'touched' his beard and smiled treacherously. The Qing army swept 'sweep' again. How can there be good things. Just take this opportunity to blackmail the local squire. Destroy a few families. Eliminate local instability. Make a little fortune by the way.
Speed represents determination. Soon the battle flag, which symbolized the uprising, was thrown off the beacon. The big 'door' and 'hole' open. Liu Guogai led more than 40 guards to kneel to greet him. A strong beacon tower was occupied by Li Yun's troops without blood. The Snow Mountain Lion Flag was re-planted at the highest point.
At this time, Chaoxia opened his 'chest'. The rising sun unfolds its dazzling light from the horizon. In the eastern land, a column of horsemen drew their swords. Salute to the Snow Mountain Lion Flag.
