Chapter 154: Another Powerful Enemy

(As many friends think, the government will not sit idly by and watch the pig's feet slaughter the Li family and ignore it, so the pig's feet will face a new test!) Red ticket! Brethren! )

Duan Youzhi was busy jumping up and down in Fengxiang Mansion in order to send troops, and the news of the Li family's slaughter is estimated to be sent to the Li family in Beijing soon.

Therefore, under his repeated supervision, the township warriors of various townships came belatedly and began to gather in Fengxiang Mansion, but at this time, it had been almost a month since Lijiazhuang was slaughtered.

In order to be prestigious, Duan Youzhi personally presided over the flag sacrifice expedition in the barracks outside the city of Fengxiang Mansion, and after a lot of work, a team of officers and soldiers drove out of the camp and began to slowly move towards the direction of Wangyang.

The team of 3,000 officers and soldiers and the village warriors stretched for several miles, and the momentum was not huge, but the garrison Yang Luting, who led the team to the expedition, was worried, and when he learned that he would lead the army to suppress the bandits this time, Yang Luting began to collect all kinds of news about the Xingtian Army.

When he learned that the Xingtian Army had single-handedly defeated the officers and troops who had gone to suppress it, Yang Luting felt uneasy.

Fengxiang Mansion has been in the past for a while, although the ground is not very peaceful, but it is a small number of poles, and it has not threatened the government, but with the rise of the Xingtian Army, the situation in the area of Fengxiang Mansion that has just calmed down suddenly became tense.

After the so-called Xingtian Army defeated the official army and the local villagers in Wangyang, it captured the Zhuangzi of the wealthy Li family, which was quite famous in the Fengxiang area, and slaughtered the Li family.

Ding Fatzi, that bastard, brought five hundred soldiers last time, but only brought back less than a hundred people, which made Fengxiang Mansion's already overstretched troops even worse, so that he scraped together more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, but the main force had to rely on the township warriors mobilized from various townships to act, he didn't say how the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers was, but he really didn't dare to compliment the combat effectiveness of the villagers.

It's okay for these township soldiers to guard some Zhuangzi on their own land on weekdays, after all, it is impossible not to work hard because of the life of their family, but let them come out to suppress bandits, Yang Luting really can't believe how strong their combat effectiveness is, so he can rely on the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers in his hands.

According to the report that the detective came back to report that after the battle of Lijiazhuang, the Xingtian Army once again expanded a lot of strength, when they had only a few hundred soldiers, they defeated more than 1,500 officers and soldiers, and today he only brought 3,000 soldiers and horses, and wanted to wipe them out in one fell swoop, Yang Luting really did not have this confidence.

So don't look at the sound of his chest in front of Duan Youzhi before he left the division, in fact, it was just for others to see, he had already made up his mind in this battle, not to seek merit, but to seek no fault, everything is based on self-preservation, as for whether he can exterminate the Xingtian Army, he does not have too high expectations, anyway, a large number of officers and soldiers have surrounded the chaotic army in the carriage gorge for almost half a month, and it is expected that those mutant troops will be able to solve it soon, as long as those large groups of mutant troops are killed, it is expected that more officers and soldiers will soon be able to free up, When the time comes, it will no longer be a problem to deal with this Heavenly Army.

After leaving Fengxiang Mansion, Yang Luting walked very cautiously, marching thirty miles every day in the afternoon and camped early in the afternoon, the township soldiers were not familiar with each other, Yang Luting wanted to let the township soldiers on the road to familiarize themselves with each other, and after the time came to meet the bandits, he would make a mess first.

However, the leaders of the township soldiers from all walks of life are not too afraid of the Xingtian Army, after all, they have not fought with the Xingtian Army, and they don't know how powerful the Xingtian Army is, thinking that no matter how powerful the Xingtian Army is, it is just a road pole, seeing that so many of them are gathered together, how do they think that they should not lose this battle, but their morale is higher than that of the official army.

Xiao Tianjian pursed his lips and leaned over to look at the map, Huzi rushed back to Tianlong Village two days in advance, and informed Xiao Tianjian of the news of the troops sent by Fengxiang Mansion, Xiao Tianjian asked Huzi in detail, and then summoned several of his subordinates to him.

"Mr. Fu, in your opinion, this time the official army comes to suppress our Xingtian Army, do we have a chance of winning?" After Xiao Tianjian looked at the map, he turned to Fu Deming, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea, and asked.

Since Fu Deming arrived in Tianlong Village, he has been wandering around all day, and Xiao Tianjian has not asked him about it, so he has to observe his Tianlong Village first.

During this period of time, after learning more about the outside world, and seeing the training of the Xingtian Army in full swing, he saw that Xiao Tianjian did not have the idea of leading the army to escape in a short period of time, and after thinking about it, he no longer persuaded Xiao Tianjian to give up this place immediately and avoid the revenge of the government.

Fu Deming saw that this kind of training method of the Xingtian Army was very different from the conventional training method, and it could transform the recruits into usable soldiers in a very short period of time, and after the Xingtian Army obtained a large amount of equipment from Lijiazhuang, the quality of the equipment was now quite good.

Fu Deming couldn't help but be impressed by Xiao Tianjian's ability to control troops, so he never mentioned the matter of leaving, although in the Xingtian Army, he still has no identity at the moment, but Xiao Tianjian is still very willing to listen to Fu Deming's thoughts on some things, which makes Fu Deming quite satisfied.

Hearing Xiao Tianjian ask him, Fu Deming put down the tea bowl in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "From what this brother who just came back said, it seems that Fengxiang Mansion has not been able to transfer the officers and soldiers of the brigade this time, so in the future, you might as well give it a go, but in Fu's opinion, it is better to take the initiative to meet the officers and soldiers who are waiting for them here!"

Among the officers and soldiers who came this time, Fengxiang's local township soldiers are the mainstay, we all know that the township soldiers can still be used to protect the village, but they are not good at field warfare, as long as they break one of them, it is likely to make it collapse, and the generals under the command of Xiao Dangjia can now be said to be threatening the power of victory, and the morale of the soldiers is high, so I think that I am expected to sit and wait, but I might as well find a suitable place, lead the army to meet the attack, wait for them to come, break it with a drum, and beat it back head-on! ”

After Xiao Tianjian heard this, he immediately smiled, this Fu Deming was very smart, he had already seen his thoughts, so he put forward a suggestion to take the initiative, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Fu and I can be said to coincide with each other!" So it is better for us to take the initiative to meet them, so that all kinds of affairs in the stockade can not be affected! It's just that I'm thinking about where we should fight if we take the initiative. At present, although the morale of our army is high, after all, the new recruits have not been training for a long time, and the main force we can use is only 500 veterans of soldiers!

Besides, I expect that after Fengxiang Mansion suffered a big loss last time, it will be much more cautious this time, if we let them peek into our plan, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble! ”

Fu Deming stood up and walked in front of this local map from Luo Yingjie's hand, he is also a local, and he is very familiar with the terrain near the local area, after examining the map, he raised his hand and pointed to a point on the map and said to Xiao Tianjian: "Xiao Dangjia, in Fu Mou's humble opinion, if Xiao Dangjia plans to send troops to meet it this time, looking at this area, Fu Mou thinks that it is most appropriate to fight with him in this place!" ”

Xiao Tianjian followed Fu Deming's finger and looked at the map, and said in his mouth: "Stone Buddha Temple? ”

"Not bad! It is the Stone Buddha Temple! Fu has been here before, there is a small temple here, if the official army wants to come to Tianlong Village, then this place will be the place they must pass through, we only need to get here one step ahead of them, you can control the main road here, although the number of officers and soldiers is more than ours, but its strength can not be expanded, with our soldiers as the mainstay, hold here, and attack it head-on, as long as it is defeated for a while, when the enemy retreats, you can wave the army to cover up, the enemy will be disrupted by the defeated army, this battle will be a complete victory! Fu Deming said to Xiao Tianjian confidently.

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "If that's the case, then this place is a good choice!" If you win this battle, Mr. Fu should be the first to take the lead! ”

Fu Deming smiled and said: "Don't dare to be, if it weren't for the soldiers in the army who are so brave, I wouldn't dare to offer this strategy, and I have been in Tianlong Village for more than half a month, although I don't know how to train soldiers, but I can also see that the soldiers of the Xingtian Army are people who dare to fight!" If you win this battle, it will be all due to the great boss! ”

Xiao Tianjian and Fu Deming looked at each other and laughed again, judging from Fu Deming's advice this time, Xiao Tianjian could see that Fu Deming had basically made up his mind to stay, otherwise, he would not have given him advice so easily.

Of course, this kind of thing alone based on Fu Deming's words alone can not conclude that the Stone Buddha Temple is a suitable location, for the local situation, Xiao Tianjian still does not understand, so after discussing with Fu Deming, Xiao Tianjian immediately sent Shi Ran to the Stone Buddha Temple to see the terrain that day.

Shi Ran was ordered to take people to investigate the terrain, and rushed back to Tianlong Village that night, as soon as he saw Xiao Tianjian, he immediately nodded to Xiao Tianjian and said: "That Fu Xiucai is really right, where is there indeed a stone Buddha temple, but the temple was burned down by the rebels in the early years, and the monks have long been dispersed, leaving only a broken temple!" The subordinates have checked the terrain of where, as long as the Stone Buddha Temple is occupied, the officers and soldiers will definitely pass through the foot of the mountain, if there are Chen soldiers, when they can take a lot of advantage, unless the officers and soldiers go to where they are, they retreat on their own, otherwise, there is no other way to send troops to attack the Stone Buddha Temple, and there is no other way! ”

After Xiao Tianjian listened, he finally made up his mind.
