Originally, these sentry spies stopped by the river, and they were not very guarded, it was a good opportunity for a sneak attack, but Wang Liang's laughter alarmed them, and the longbowman heard the laughter, and knew that something bad was wrong, since he had alarmed the other party, and when the other party was surprised, the bowstring moved, and the sharp arrow crossed a beautiful arc 'poof' through the neck of the white man, and the enemy fell to the ground in response.

When the dozen or so turtles saw the leader fall to the ground and die, they shouted and behaved differently, some were lying on the ground and shivering, some knelt down and kept kowtowing, some jumped into the river and swam on the opposite bank, and some two ran downstream along the river bank.

'Bang, bang' two gunshots rang out, and the two who escaped planted on the riverbank.

Several scouts beside Wang Liang became excited, a bloodthirsty light flashed in their eyes, and a belated order sounded in their ears: "Brothers, kill the thief, catch the mouth." ”

"Kill the thief!"

Several of the scouts were all majestic and roared.

"Kill the thief!"

Wang Liang rushed out first, and the remaining four scouts followed closely behind.

When they rushed to the other side and cut down a few standers, the sound of the bowstring sounded again, and with the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the two natives who were swimming in the water screamed, and the blood red in the water spread to all directions.

A flash of fire came out, the green smoke dissipated, and with the sound of the musket, the chest of the last native, who had swam and fled, was bleeding mist, and the silk he wore on his body could not protect him in the slightest.

The battle ended in a short time, and the enemy sentry sentry made more than a dozen people, and in a moment they either killed or wounded eight people, but Wang Liang and them did not suffer any casualties, and the difference in combat effectiveness between them was too great.

I am afraid that only the white man has some strength in this team, and he has fought with his Western partners for many years, but he died under an inconspicuous musket. A few of them were killed on the spot, or died soon after. Several people who were hit by the arrow lay on the ground and groaned, and after Wang Liang and others cleaned up the battlefield, they gave them a pain.

In this battle, two prisoners were captured, a war horse, a number of weapons, bows and arrows, and some silver and treasures. However, among these ten tips, there is nothing worth collecting. They cleaned up the battlefield, took the captives with them, tied up the two rogues captives, stuffed rags in their mouths, and left quietly. Leaving some corpses scattered all over the place, exposed to the flames, the blood slowly coagulated, making the smell of blood a lot lighter.

After Wang Liang and the others ran for more than ten miles, they came to a hillside to interrogate the two captured prisoners. They simply told everything they knew, like pouring beans.

These two people were both Sulu people who went out with the Koshali country, and they had a low status in the Nanyang Coalition Army, so they received the most dangerous path-finding mission, but they didn't expect to meet Wang Liang and others, and the whole army was wiped out.

The two men were interrogated by naturalized local Sundanese with similar accents and knowledgeable circumstances, and it was fitting that they should interrogate the two captives. During their interrogation, Wang Liang and others patrolled beside them, especially Wang Liang, holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, just looking around.

The terrain here is good, the scenery on all sides is unobstructed, especially Wang Liang has a clairvoyant mirror in hand, and any movement around can be known at the first time.

Through interrogation, Wang Liang and the others have obtained detailed information that the bandits have indeed ambushed the Nanyang Army near the monument.

In fact, as early as when the Nanyang Army was dispatched from Palembang, Suharto, Augustin and others in the central part of Medan had already received the news. Perhaps the intelligence of the Nanyang Army is well protected, but there are countless more traders in Palembang, and there are loopholes in all aspects of protection, which cannot stop these meticulous spies in the slightest.

Therefore, Suharto, who was besieging Jambi, made an ambush plan early on the advice of his military adviser, the Dutchman Augustine. It is to use more than 10,000 people of the coalition army to besiege Zhanbei without attacking, and divide a few small groups of men and horses to lure, and then the main force of 80,000 people is ambushed in the area of Xiaotunzhai, and 800 Western European mercenaries are ambushed in a canyon in Zhanbei Mountain, and after the war begins, they can give the other side a fatal blow from the back of the Nanyang Army.

They were divided into several steps, a small group to lure the enemy first, if the Nanyang army in the middle of the fierce pursuit, more than 80,000 infantry troops suddenly set up a group to besiege, at this time the Nanyang army will be defeated.

However, Augustine was cautious, and set a second step, if the more than 80,000 allied troops could not be perfectly ambushed, and the Nanyang Army continued to pursue after being defeated, the 800 Western mercenary cavalry would play a decisive force, so that the Nanyang Army was not invincible.

According to their experience, as long as the officers and men are frustrated at the front, the morale of the follow-up main force will be greatly lost, and the current relief of the siege of Ruzhou will certainly become an empty talk.

Suharto was so treacherous that Wang Liang and the others next to him took a breath of cold air.

In the afternoon of the same day, Changxizhuang, which is close to the boundary of Jambi.

The official road here is not far from Bumo, the four sides are empty, the fields of the past have been abandoned, and the villages of the village in the land of rivers are often the objects of their plunder, in order to avoid the bandits, most of the villagers of these settlements near the river have withdrawn to busy Sang.

Some light raindrops falling from the sky from time to time could not change the scorching heat of the ground in the slightest, and the people and horses sweated all over their bodies as soon as they walked around. Therefore, with the sound of muffled thunder, the smoke and dust of the official road in the distance seemed to be overwhelming, and with the rising smoke and dust, a large area of black and oppressive troops rushed towards the area of Changxizhuang.

These marching processions were solemn and orderly, with a column of five people, two steps apart from the front and rear, and one step apart from the left and right, and the usual procession, all wearing iron-tipped helmets, sergeants wearing plate armor carried spears on their backs and carried fires, and sergeants in iron armor had spears inserted in their saddle covers.

With the agitation of the breeze, the iron helmets of each person were red, and the bright red banners were flying and flying, and the armor of each person was painted with red paint, a dazzling fiery red color.

The front of the banner is particularly eye-catching, five or six horses are rolling forward, each face is full of sharpness, and an indescribable fierce spirit stretches out.

"Stop!"

When he rushed to Changxizhuang, an order came out of the banner of Duanzi, and then the shrill horn of the Chinese army trumpeter sounded. Hearing this voice, one after another shouted orders, from the headquarters to the squadron, the squadron to the squad, the squad to the chief, very well passed, and immediately the rolling army stopped.

"Scouts have retribution!"

A tall and sturdy Arabian war horse rushed to Duan Shuchang's approach, reported a few words, and Duan Shuchang, who was under his banner, touched his neatly trimmed beard and said: "Pass the order, and the whole army will rest for a quarter of an hour." ”

With the sound of a gong, the whole army dismounted, sat on the ground to rest, eat some dry food, and replenish water.

However, the Nanyang Army was strictly disciplined, but no one made a noise. Over the years in the army, abiding by the regulations has penetrated into the bone marrow of every officer and soldier of the Nanyang Army, and it is an old fritter like Duan Shuchang, who now relies on the regulations to fight.

Moreover, the sergeants under his command, especially the veterans who crossed the river in the first batch, are all literate and literate, and in terms of literacy, they are afraid that they will be close to the level of Xiucai.

"These thieves are so bold that they want to ambush my forward soldiers?"

The lieutenant who followed Duan Shuchang's side shouted angrily, and a chan painting at the headquarters took a refined oilskin ring cylinder, pulled out a map from the inside, and spread it on a mound of earth. Later, the captains of the army, as well as the pacification, comfort, and quartermaster officers in the department, gathered around Duan Shuchang and looked at the map to discuss the matter.
