The new military army marched to Lincheng, Shandong. The five people soon got the news. I heard that the "Zhao Zilong" of the Great Qing Kingdom is coming. This is the Lord who dares to fight and kill. Dare to be heavy-handed against gangs. Some people's hearts and eyes immediately come alive. Miao Fanlu of Boxer was the first to take action. He colluded with the horse thief leader Fei Lingxue. The two of them deliberated on a strategy. Send someone to make a stand to Li Guolou. Send henchmen to be the guides of the new army.

This time, Miao Fanlu advised Zhu Honglan. To be considered for the community. It is not necessary for the sake of Brother Sun's benevolence. Let the community suffer the relentless blow of the state power.

Vermilion light weighed again and again. I feel that the Boxers should still serve the imperial court. It should be a national community. This is the foundation on which Boxer is based. You can't change the rules of the Boxer for your own selfishness. Therefore, cutting off the head of the chicken and drinking blood wine is in vain. Vermilion Lantern issued a Jianghu order. Let a militia formed by a few Boxer miners. I saw the arrival of the new army. He switched to the new military army. A red heart that shows the Boxers. Always towards the Great Qing.

Wangzhuang Township controlled by the Boxers. It will facilitate the new armed forces. Let the people of the Spear Club stick to Yong'an Township. There's no way back.

Vermilion Lantern's decision made the Lance Club unlucky. More than 200 people died in battle for no reason. Du Sheng, the "hemp pole" who surrendered to the new military army. can only imagine himself as Guan Yunchang, who is in Cao Ying's heart and in Han. Compromise to flattery Bai Langning. The people of the Lance Society. Started to open the way in the mountains. Pioneer officer of the bridge in the water. Let the villages along the way support the new army. Du Sheng is a good hand at doing ideological work. Grades are made in the afternoon. The third brother "Iron Stone" Liu Tanggu who guarded in Zou Wu Town. He took eight hundred strong men to Bai Langning.

The defection of the Lance Society and the Boxers. It was a fatal blow to the garrison of the city. Severely dealt a blow to the Sun brothers' confidence in opening up their territory. Even his own brother betrayed him. Embattled perilous. Let the Sun brothers sigh that people's hearts are not ancient.

Li Guolou was helped by the Boxers. That's like a psychic wizard. Anything is easy to do in the border of the city. Originally, little was known about the garrison of the city. Now even the fifty-five hostages are hiding in the bandits' nest of the calves.

Hugging the calf is the nest of the Sun brothers. Mountain and high ground insurance. Li Guolou did not have the confidence to capture such a dangerous peak. But he was no longer satisfied with the capture of Lincheng. Li Guolou prepared to cut off the back road of the Lincheng garrison. Wipe out the Sun forces stationed in Lincheng. Don't give the Sun clan a chance to flee and hug the calf.

The new army suddenly attacked. Capture Yong'an Township and Wangzhuang Township in one fell swoop. It has broken down between the warlords of Shandong mainly negotiating. Neither side actively attacks the other's guarantees. I didn't put Shandong Governor Zhang Renjun in my eyes. An edict written by Zhang Renjun himself. It has long been burned down by Li Guolou. The new military army does not talk about friendship between warlords. Attacking the Sun brothers' territory. It disrupted the dream of the Sun brothers' promotion to several levels. The garrison of the city will not dare to hold the city. will flee to the calf.

Li Guolou's soldiers are divided into two ways. All the way, the main force is Bai Langning's 2,000 winning divisions. Frontal assault on the city. Already broke through the enemy's first line of defense in one fell swoop. Li Guolou personally led the other group of men and horses to Shenfeng Ridge. I want to fight a blocking battle there. Completely defeat the main force of the Sun brothers.

The one who leads the way for the new armed forces. It's Miao Fanlu and He Xiangu. There is also a local Meng Qing. He is a middle-aged man in his forties. Looks honest. He is a believer in Boxer.

In military meetings. Everyone talked about it for a while. In the end, they all looked at Li Guolou. Waiting for him to give the military order. But Li Guolou raised his head and asked, "Miao Fanlu, Meng Qing. Are you familiar with the terrain of Shenfeng Ridge?"

Miao Fanlu looked at Meng Qing embarrassedly. No more asking. The expression on the face says everything. The scene was speechless for a moment. Meng Qing of Mune. He said dryly: "I am familiar with the terrain of Shenfeng Ridge. Drove through several times."

Li Guolou smiled kindly: "Meng Qing doesn't have to be afraid of me. You can order whatever you want. Let's talk about it. Can Shenfeng Ridge set up an ambush?" Where does Meng Qing know tactics. and did not dare to speak. Finally, he said, "Sir. The terrain is dangerous. You can set up an ambush."

Li Guolou smiled forcefully. "Isn't this just on paper. Master Rice used to say.' The five elements are indefinite. Lose the bottom and get rid of it'.Relying on the map drawn during the Kangxi period. I'm going to be hungry. I see the end of the meeting. How about going and occupy Shenfeng Ridge first."

The proud soldiers laughed wildly. Pioneer officer Li Yunkai. Hands on the hips. It's like winning a big win.

Along the way, Li Guolou looked at the eldest husband in Dagukou with red eyes. Those people are Shandong Dahan. All of them have broad shoulders and round waists. It's a strong man who carries cannonballs. The scale of victory and defeat in the war. A large part depends on these long-term husbands. The provision is dependent on these illiterate long-term husbands to carry them to the front. It's a pity that these long-term husbands are people and horses in Dagukou. He is only jealous of Yulu's good life. Armies have local limitations. The new military army is the world of Anhui people. Although Anhui people are willing to endure hardship. But on top of the race. There is still a big gap with the Shandong people.

When did he have these second-class products under his hands. It can be replaced with a high-quality product with a wide waist and a round waist. Li Guolou has a ghost idea. I was wondering where the new army would go to recruit in the future. Anhui out of Diao Min. He's the only one who can hold it. What will I do in the future?

He Xiangu walked almost to Li Guolou's side. Chat with Li Guolou about the old days. It is clear that he wants to rely on Li Guolou's reputation to ascend to the top. Li Guolou looked at the vermilion lantern and was still grateful for the sake of retribution. Didn't drive He Xiangu away. The two walked side by side. Add some color to the march.

Shenfeng Ridge is located on the west side of Yi County, Shandong. It is a shortcut to the city to hug the calf. Inaccessible. Several other roads are to pass through town. It has been controlled by other warlords in Shandong. He Fengyu, the envoy of Yanzhou, was originally the immediate boss of the Sun brothers. He would never give way to the Sun brothers. At times like these. Local warlords gave way to the Sun brothers' Lincheng garrison. It's going to be hit mercilessly. As for the other two main roads leading to the calf. It takes a lot of circles. Li Guolou expected that the Sun brothers would only take shortcuts. It will not cause chaos in Shandong like a rogue.

After Li Guolou sent more than 200 rangers. Li Yunkai and more than a dozen others immediately straddled the horse. Accompanied Li Guolou to leave the station and gallop west. Over two mountains. Shenfeng Ridge is right in front of you. But the topography that unfolded in front of everyone's eyes surprised everyone. The actual terrain and the map are fundamentally two different things.

Guide Meng Qing slurred his speech. The landform of Shenfeng Ridge is not clear. The most important road situations are missed.

A winding road. Not in the ravine. Instead, it was laid on a bare mountain beam several miles long. The width of the mountain beam is only one or two hundred meters. The terrain on both sides of the road is slightly higher than the road. But there is a lack of concealment. Only close to the roadside are some fortifications built by the Qing army in the past. It was used by the Qing army to deal with the Twist Army. It's been a long time since it was dilapidated.

On the south side of the mountain beam is a large ravine. Across the ditch is Mamian Mountain. On the east side of the mountain beam is a small mountain village. There are more than a dozen mountain people. Further east is Weishan Lake.

Obviously, such terrain is not suitable for ambushes. Because it is not easy for large armies to conceal. I can't do it again. To the south is a deep ditch. The reserve has limited mobility. If you don't do it, you will not be able to take into account the beginning and the end. Get yourself into trouble. Instead of being divided and surrounded by the enemy. Wipe them out one by one.

A dozen officers who were originally in high spirits. Can't get interested. The new military army is not here to fight a war of attrition. They are only a thousand men. and then increase the 1,000 long husband of the mouth. The maximum combat strength is 1,500 centaurs. But there were more than 3,000 people in the garrison. Plus the miscellaneous army, less than 5,000 men. How can this battle be fought?

Li Guolou was speechless for a while. Leading the horses. Keep going. I walked back and forth for more than forty miles. No ideal ambush spot was found. Then Li Guolou took more than a dozen horses and turned back to Shenfeng Ridge. Continue to observe the terrain. It's like I'm going to count all the scrapped fortifications.

Everyone didn't dare to disturb Li Guolou. This is the god of war of the new martial army. It is also their backbone. As long as Li Guolou makes up his mind. Even if the fish dies and the net is broken, the war of attrition. The new military army is also at the expense. Desperately in the field.

Li Guolou holds a horsewhip. Pointing the way. Kong Ming, who is like a lupine scarf, is reincarnated. Said: "There is no Zhang butcher. Are you going to eat muddy pigs? The terrain is dead. Man is alive. If you come, you will be safe. Shenfeng Ridge will witness the magic of our new martial army. The Sun brothers are the lost dogs. Where are the new martial opponents of our heroes. Brothers. Do you have the confidence to win this ambush battle?"

"Yes."" Absolutely."" Ten thousand have." More than a dozen officers screamed loudly. Even if you face death. They dare to let out their last roar.

Li Guolou looked approvingly at these love generals. Fight out. All of them are daredevils. A happy wave of his hand. Shouted: "Go. Go back to the meeting. Set the battlefield at Shenfeng Ridge. I'm going to turn the Sun brothers into outlaws. Can't kill the Sun brothers. I'm going to cripple them, too."

Li Guolou's words are holy decrees. A dozen officers on horseback. are thinking about how to deploy in Shenfeng Ridge. Tactical set-up is based on collective efforts. Instead of relying on Li Guolou alone.

More than a dozen mountain dwellers in the foothills. Has been captured by the Xinwu Army. Supervisor Zhang Haojie couldn't tell who was the spy of the Sun family's armed forces. Before the battle. These mountain people can only be locked in newly dug holes. A turnip, a pit. Eat, drink, and sleep all in it. Indicates that these mountain people will be compensated for their losses in the future. As for these mountain people, they thought they would be buried alive by the Qing army. It's not in Zhang Haojie's consideration. In times of war, in order to conceal the battlefield. The army will carry out a brutal sweep near the battlefield. This practice of the new armed forces. It's kind of modest.

Li Guolou saw Zhang Haojie. Just asked." Inspector Zhang. There are no dead people."

"Nope. All of them are alive and kicking. Eat dog meat at night. Hey, hey, hey." Zhang Haojie smiled evilly. The new military army put the hunting dogs of the mountain people. All shot. In order to engage in covert work. Not even a dog can live near Shenfeng Ridge.

Li Guolou rolled his eyes and said, "I don't eat dog meat." After speaking, Li Guolou no longer bothered Zhang Haojie. Even he is a man who has forgotten it. It's really against our ancestors.

Li Guolou finished eating alone. Come to the guest room of the farmhouse. The air is filled with the smell of dog meat. Li Guolou touched his nose. Said: "You're all full. Today you are eating the hounds of the mountain people. Catch up with the Ming to accompany the silver dollars to the mountain people. One person deducts two yuan. It's kind of compensation for the mountain people."

"Ahh It's so expensive. It costs two dollars. It's not natural." Gold and silver came and shouted. Li Guolou is really black-hearted. Dare to withhold their money;

Li Guolou said very seriously: "I'm not joking with you. You all know that water can carry boats. It can also overturn the truth. A country has no support from the people. The regime is coming to an end. The same goes for the military. The Sun brothers will also buy people's hearts. Released the women and children who had been arrested. Describing the kidnapping of foreigners as an act of anti-imperialist justice. The calve-holding bandits never kidnap women. It also allows the villagers near Baoqingu to live a good life. We are the army of the nation. Isn't it even as good as a bandit?"

"Yes. We're pledging two dollars." A dozen officers couldn't sit still. Hurry up and make a statement. Li Guolou's mouth can speak. Also standing on the height of truth. I can't help but be in awe.

After Li Guolou's preaching. Ma Dequan poured tea for the officers. The military conference officially began.

Li Guolou took a sip of tea. Slightly frowning. Ma Dequan this bastard. He even took the big red robe he treasured. Take it out and gargle it as tea for everyone. Shicai also said. If you come here, you will be safe." He could only pretend to be generous and said, "Brothers. The best big red robe. Take a few sips to lift your spirits. Hehehehe."

Ma Dequan winked at the gold and silver quirkily. Show that others are shrewd. There are benefits that will not forget the old brothers.

Li Guolou walked in front of the map. Pointing out the topography of Shenfeng Ridge. Said: "I'm still the same sentence. The terrain is dead. Man is alive. Don't think of ambush warfare just thinking of deep ditches steep. Steep mountain cliffs in ancient times. We have already carved out a path. There isn't much tactical dead ground in the world. Shenfeng Ridge can be used as an ambush for new tactics. It can also kill the enemy. And our army does not need to be in danger of fighting attrition. It is also possible to take advantage of the limited terrain. Fight a beautiful war of annihilation."

The officers of the Xinwu Army have long worshipped Li Guolou as a god of war. This is the value of the existence of this army. There is no leader of Li Guolou. There is no reason for the existence of the new armed forces. And they, the officers, have lost their value of existence. More than a dozen officers gathered around Li Guolou, and they rallied around Li Guolou. Send out a spark of life. The eyes are so hot. I believe that Li Guolou can lead the new army to meet the test of blood and fire.

Li Guolou analyzed: "Generally speaking. It is indeed not easy to ambush Shenfeng Ridge. But. But it's a great terrain to fight more with less. Because the terrain is not dangerous enough. The enemy will be paralyzed. The dilapidated fortifications were no more than 100 meters from the road. The nearest one is only twenty or thirty meters. The enemy has long been commonplace. If we keep our troops hidden under the nose of the enemy. Actually camouflaged well. The enemy is hard to spot. It will definitely have a surprising effect. You can destroy a large group of enemies in one go. Secondly. The mountain beams are narrow. The force cannot be used. Our army is still in a good formation and can't be used. The enemy is in a hurry. More difficult to unfold. Only passively beaten."

Syllable.

Su Yuanchun respectfully saluted Li Guolou. shouted: "Master Xuezheng. You're saying that, too. The students were taught."

Li Guolou looked at Su Yuanchun, who had grown his hair. This is his confidant. It is the key student of Xinwutang. and the son of the same clan Li Yunyu go hand in hand. Known as "Zhao Zilong's right-hand man." Train these two lovers. It was his established decision. These two people are the future of the new martial army. All have the talent of a general.

"Take a break. Su Yuanchun. This is not a school. You don't need to stand upright." Li Guolou's tone was flat. But the officers present. all know Li Guolou's preference for Su Yuanchun. The rank of student is higher than that of the teacher. Isn't this student a military genius?

"Hey, hey, hey." Su Yuanchun scratched his head a little stupidly. It's this stupid energy that rushes into the brain. to make him among thousands of students. Fore.
