Zhang Tiepao and Zhang Xiaotian are fellow villagers, both of whom are from Wanglou Township, but their status is very different, Zhang Xiaotian is a landlord class, and Zhang Tiepao is a long-term laborer who sells coolies, originally did not eat in the same pot, but now they have a common language, and the two are sighing, and they met Li Guolou, a mourning star

"Brother Xiaotian, you are now the role of a lobbyist," Zhang Tiepao drank a bowl of ginger soup, a warm current circulated in the five organs and six lungs, his body and bones began to get hot, knowing that he was not worried about his life, he was picked up by the Xinwu Army from the lake, Zhang Tiepao was arrogant and domineering when he submitted the book, a good man who stood up to the sky, many Xinwu soldiers remembered him, even if he was salvaged like a chicken in the soup, there were still people who recognized him and regarded him as a big man, so the treatment was better than other prisoners

"Hey, let's mix up my face first, familiar with Yihequan, Spear Club, those bastards belong to the stinky and shameless face, lose the face of our Shandong people, I now belong to the surrender elements who have made meritorious contributions, how to look at Lord Li's face in the future, this person is not simple, he belongs to the masters outside the world, he can't fight with him, last time you made fun of me, I don't think I let me be humiliated by the crotch, now you are not the same, the first sentence said that I know Zhang Haojie, and I am not afraid of being ashamed." Zhang Xiaotian sighed bitterly in his mouth, he was warm in his heart, he was a modern version of Han Xin, he was able to bend and stretch, and a good life was in front of him, and the refugees who escaped from Weishan Island buried all his belongings, and he came back this time to dig out all the goods

Speaking of which, Zhang Xiaotian himself did not believe that he was born in a landlord family, literate and hyphenated, Li Guolou was impressed by him, Xu Yi, the official position of the governor of Jiupin, said that he was an official, and it was expected that he could benefit one side of the people in the future, and it was the life of Qipin Zhixian County, which was not a dream

"Hey, I didn't expect to lose so quickly, I didn't think I could fight a bloody way, I could escape anywhere, I didn't think that Li Guolou and his mother still had a mosquito boat, and he could only be captured, Zhang Haojie was still quite generous, he would not be wrong, I still have some inventory, hidden on the island, fifty silver dollars were given to me by Zhang Haojie, now I think about it, I really shouldn't go back, Sun Guilu, Zhou Tianlun is not the master, he actually poisoned his own brother, I am really blind" Zhang Tiezhuo's fierce punch actually smashed the wooden wall, so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, embarrassed to look at Zhang Xiaotian

Zhang Xiaotian didn't see it, twisted his head to the side, and sighed: "The mosquito boat sent by Li Guolou is too powerful, and the casualties caused by those flowering bombs are very large, but the most terrible thing is that the horn-ramming hammer installed on the bow of the ship was sunk by the horn, this battle is simply a one-sided massacre, fortunately, Li Guolou is soft-hearted and did not shoot you to death in the water."

Zhang Tiepao said happily: "I don't believe that Li Guolou will kill all the residents on the island, but people are terrible, thinking that the new military army will really mess up, and now it seems that Li Guolou is still willing to give us a chance to reform our ways."

"I didn't end well with the Sun family, and those who knew the times were Junjie, and the villagers of Wanglou all followed Li Guolou," Zhang Xiaotian shouted loudly, deliberately letting people outside hear and witness the battle of Weishan Lake, which made him full of respect for Li Guolou, and Shicai was the first to shout "Long live", and then the sound of long live resounded in the sky, and the sound of footsteps from far to near made the two of them cautiously shut up

The wooden door opened, Li Guolou walked into the cabin, and said with a smile: "Which one is the Shandong hero Zhang Tiepao?"

There were only two people in the room, Zhang Xiaotian stood up with interest, raised his hand and said: "Li Zhentai, this is my fellow countryman, Zhang Luzi, who is called the Divine Arm Iron Oar, because his fame is too loud, everyone calls him Zhang Iron Oar."

"Zhang Tiepao has seen Li Zhentai and hopes that Li Zhentai will take him in," Zhang Tiepao knelt on one leg and saluted with his fists, not treating himself as a prisoner, only as a Shandong hero who defected to his eldest brother

"Okay, this official will accept you, and you will be blessed and enjoy hardships together, and now Sun Guilu has fled back to Weishan Island, and there will be endless troubles, I need someone to go deep into the tiger's den to eradicate the root cause of the curse, do you have the courage" Li Guolou looked solemn, and lifted Zhang Tiepao, and his two clear eyes stared at Zhang Tiepao, with a shocking spirit

hesitated, only in an instant, Zhang Tiepao bowed his head and bowed: "Li Zhentai can afford me, I will give up this life and go, and I will never live up to Li Zhentai's trust, either Sun Guilu will die or I will die."

"Okay, take the wine, the official salutes Zhang Tiepao, after a glass of it, you will be my brother, your family, I will take care of it" Li Guolou's eyes moistened, the ability to act is inherently moving, inexplicably has the determination to die as a confidant, and even Zhang Xiaotian next to him has the courage, I can't wait to fly up to Weishan Island to sweep away the charm for Li Guolou

Zhang Tiepao is very heroic, found four friends of life and death, took a small boat, five people, four guns, three knives, and set off to Weishan Island with a sharp blade

The drizzle of Weishan Island is full of mystery, and the unpredictable hearts make people look forward to miracles

Under the guidance of Zhang Xiaotian, the Xinwu army braved the rain to attack the shallows on the south side of Weishan Island, and a burst of bombardment poured more than 100 shells onto the beach, and only Li Guolou was willing to squander the shells in the sky, and if it was other warlords, it would be filled with human lives

It rained, the flag language command failed, and there was a disconnect between the cooperative combat capabilities of the big ships, and the small boat needed to pass the message in the middle, wasting a lot of time back and forth, Li Guolou originally wanted to let the artillery extend the attack, let the five hundred Boxers start a landing battle, sacrifice some Boxers, and take a look at the enemy's firepower configuration, but the scheduling was quite twists and turns, and the passage of time was not yet a decent attack formation

By the time the 20 sailing ships had put up a landing posture, Li Guolou had already retreated at four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was even darker, and the battle was fought meaninglessly, and the set goal could not be accomplished, and even the time for consolidating the beachhead was not sufficient, and the few men and horses landed on the island, and the positions were not consolidated, which was very dangerous, and they would be wiped out by the enemy at night

Li Guolou ordered the withdrawal of troops, and the herald stopped Ping'an without leaving, hugged his fists and saluted: "Slow, Li Zhentai's subordinates think that today we must let the Yihe boxers land on Weishan Island, life and death are beyond the control of the sky, so many five hundred heroes must die to land on Weishan Island, otherwise tomorrow the world will be unpredictable, and the Yihe Fist will not be able to convince everyone's hearts, but will disperse."

Li Guolou glanced at the veiled "vermilion light" and asked, "What do you think of the vermilion light?"

Zhu Honglan (He Xiangu) hugged his fists and said: "Miss Ping'an is right, my five hundred strong men are ready to sprinkle the blood of the Qing Dynasty at any time, and I also ask the lord to change the military order and attack according to the original plan."

Li Guolou laughed: "I almost underestimated the five hundred heroes, tell Yang Jinhe not to defend it, and if you land on Weishan Island, you will fight a bloody road, Zhang Xiaotian, you will lead the way."

Zhang Xiaotian, who was standing on the side, stubbornly said: "Yes, please also ask the lord to see my performance"

Zhang Xiaotian was quite helpless, how dare he violate the military order and say a word "no", that is to lose his head, he can only take the eighty elite soldiers of the Suzaku Society to take two sailing boats to kill Weishan Island, the cannonballs swept by him, splashing huge waves, bullets whistling past his ears, death was beside him, Zhang Xiaotian had no way to retreat, landed on the shore and had a way to live, he was the first to jump into the waist-deep lake, pushing the boat raft and shouting: "Brothers, advance for Li Guolou"

More than 20 sailboats on the lake braved the rain of bullets and bullets to advance towards Weishan Island, and the soldiers shouted "Forward for Li Guolou"

The 500 brave Boxers who fought bravely to take the lead began to land in the shallows, and when they shot at the shore in the water, they threw grenades one after another, and when they approached the shore, they were greeted by the sound of sparse gunfire, and when they heard it, there were not many enemies

The boxers who were hit by bullets were lying in the water, blood was red, and corpses floated on the lake, Yang Jinhe didn't look at the tragic situation around him, standing on the raft and beating the drums desperately, landing on the shore is a hero, the good man Yihe boxing, the reputation spreads all over the world, and he commits suicide if he fails, and he has no shame to see his father and fellow villagers

The five hundred strong men who drank the runic water rushed ashore with a roar and a bayonet rushed to the place where the guns rang out, shouting, "Gods and ghosts give way, knives and guns are invulnerable."

The five hundred elite soldiers of the Lance Society were in the rear formation, they were the second echelon of the attack, and their ten sailing ships were only more than 500 meters offshore, and they would be sent by Li Guolou at any time, and the main general Liu Tanggu looked at Weishan Island and then at the Osprey behind

Liu Tanggu was in awe of the bravery of the Boxer, and his brothers did not have the courage to charge for their lives, hoping that Li Guolou would not use his men, but he said: "Why hasn't his grandmother's lord given a military order, I'm in a hurry."

"Third brother Yihequan drink Fu Shui, you look at the momentum of the people, it is enough to scare away all demons and monsters, I'm afraid it's really to Zhu Honglan this girl fights right, we have to learn this trick, otherwise how can we gain a foothold" A leader next to him shook his head next to him, and the people of the Spear Society were full of resentment towards the Boxer, because the Boxer was an organization that was separated from the Lance Society, and it was originally a community

The Lance Club belongs to a non-governmental organization that defends its hometown, and the Boxer adds a lot of superstition on this basis, and is very good at packaging itself

"It's a pity that the second brother is injured, we have one less backbone, if the second brother comes forward, the two ingots Li Guolou will not accept them, blame me for doing bad things with good intentions, not in place, look at the Yihequan, those people gave the red lantern to Li Guolou, didn't they accept it all, and they are not outright hypocrites," Liu Tanggu sighed and sighed, and the providence only blamed him for his stupid mouth, and he didn't hug Li Guolou's thick legs, and watched the Yihe Fist gain the upper hand

"Third brother, please ask Li Guolou for battle, and when the battle situation is decided, and then fight, there is a fart, and Li Guolou will not forget the merits of our spear club," the little leader stared at the battlefield, although the rain and fog were foggy, but the old man saw the crux of the problem

"The herald quickly reported to Li Zhentai that the five hundred heroes of the Lance Society began to land and ask for artillery support," Liu Tanggu is even more powerful, and will charge in front of him, where do you need to listen to the order to kill the past, besides, Liu Tanggu has done the same, personally beating the big drum, planting the green flag on the bow of the ship, and showing an indomitable posture

The bow was opened, and the battle situation was beyond Li Guolou's expectations, and the five hundred heroes of the Lance Club killed Weishan Island, this is the beginning of the war, and Li Guolou did not expect to train two death squads in Shandong, he only used four small islands to train the Boxer into a team that dared to fight hand-to-hand, which was a blessing or a curse for the Qing Dynasty

Li Guolou could only take advantage of the situation and continue to bomb the enemy's enemy positions and adjust the range of artillery attacks

Su Yuanchun, Li Yunzhuo, and Li Yunkai boarded the Osprey one after another to ask Li Guolou for battle, and as soon as the battle situation was fierce, people's minds would be impulsive, Li Guolou was unmoved, and refused to put more than 1,000 Xinwu troops into the landing battle, this was his caretaker, Li Guolou was still gritting his teeth, insisting that the casualties were worth it, but letting the Xinwu Army suffer such senseless casualties was the dereliction of duty of the commander

However, the situation was beyond Li Guolou's expectations, a cruising mosquito boat brought friendly news that Chang Sheng's army had landed from the west of Weishan Island, and the Yanzhou army was seizing the beach from the north, and Hannagan led the Beiyang Naval Division to a great victory and captured the enemy's main warship, the "Bronze Hammer"

To be honest, Li Guolou's expression was a little embarrassed, and the generals of the Xinwu Army next to him could see it, Li Guolou coughed dryly and exclaimed: "Okay, good, the friendly army dares to fight at night, so what are we afraid of the Xinwu Army, kill me to Weishan Island, and wipe out the enemy."

"Why did you go earlier," Su Yuanchun lowered his head and grunted, just for Li Guolou to hear, but he was not afraid at all, because he had already climbed down the rope ladder

Several other officers left the command ship one after another, boarded the warship under their command, and directed and deployed the soldiers to march to Weishan Island overnight

The sky is getting darker and darker, and it is about to get dark, but at this time, the rain has stopped, Tianzhu Xinwu Army can see a horse lantern rising on the lake, the light of the horse lantern on Weishan Island, and even the torches appear, the sound of gunfire is everywhere, and the sound of cannons is not heard, Li Guolou stood on the deck, took off his steel helmet, scratched his head, and said to himself: "What's wrong with me, so many things can't be figured out."

Zheng Hengdan twisted the rat whiskers and said with a smile: "Li Zhentai, it's all your credit for being a little restless, you are the commander-in-chief, the storyteller will compile you into a god who knows astronomy and geography, you are even more magical than the White Snake Langjun."

Li Guolou sighed lightly: "White Snake Langjun still has merit, this person can look at celestial phenomena and be a celestial historian, or qualified, this time he will award the White Snake Langjun a first-class merit, and then issue an edict to reprimand him, let the White Snake Langjun familiarize himself with the Zuo Ci Biography in the "Three Kingdoms"

"It's a subordinate, let's do it," Zheng Heng was shocked, it turned out that Li Guolou had a killing machine, fortunately, a big victory made Li Guolou a bodhisattva of great mercy and compassion, and rewarded the White Snake Langjun for first-class merit, if it was calculated by the White Snake Langjun, the consequence would be a human head sacrifice to the sky

Ping'an Shadow accompanied him and draped a scarlet coat on Li Guolou's shoulder, and said gently: "Li Zhentai is windy outside, be careful of catching a cold."

Li Guolou patted Ping'an's hand and said in a low voice: "Well, I've worked hard for you."

Ping An blew like an orchid attached to Li Guolou's ear and said: "Brother Xiaolou, I am the first hero of the battle of Weishan Island, don't forget to reward it."

Li Guolou squinted slightly, but didn't say what was in his heart, for the sake of his own selfishness, he let the soldiers spill blood on the battlefield and do a senseless battle to grab the beach, originally according to the tactics he formulated, the number of casualties in attacking Weishan Island would be very small

But how to say it, everything has advantages and disadvantages, the soldiers are fought out, the battle of Weishan Island, several soldiers and horses into bloody death squads, from the perspective of leading the troops, peace is better than him, he is like a bookkeeper with abacus, small belly, chicken intestines, looking at the numbers in the account book, people look down on it, even his subordinates can see his hesitation

Li Guolou kissed Ping'an's cheek and said with a smile: "Well, I want to reward you well and let you ride on me tomorrow."

Ping'an angrily used his hammering skills and smashed two pink fists into Li Guolou's chest
