Of course Huang Daping can't fly, Yu Wendao is also in a daze at home, the reason why he can catch up so quickly is because Huang Daping didn't go to Qiqiao Town in the first place. Because there is no heavy firepower, Huang Daping, who has suffered countless losses under the city of Qiqiao Town, has to circle around Qiqiao Town several times every day to seek inspiration for breaking the city. So he found the secret that the Qing army did not leave the city more than ten days ago, and the main force at the head of the city was not the Qing army, but the people in the city.

When the city wall was blown up and the city was sieged, Huang Daping also carefully observed the firepower in various parts of the city, and found that the main firepower came from the urn city, and there were only sporadic feather arrows in other places. After a few hard thoughts, Huang Daping finally figured out that the little guy who forced him to move had another dangerous move, and the Qing army in the city only had that little bit in the urn city. Although he didn't understand how Guo Xing'a recruited the people in the city, Huang Daping also figured out the enemy's situation.

Guoxing's 800 people and dozens of carts drove the west gate to cross the river and run, and Huang Daping was not blind, of course he could see it. It was determined that the main force of the Qing army fled, Huang Daping neither waited for the arrival of reinforcements, nor paid attention to Qiqiao Town, but directly chased after him. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a pontoon bridge to go around and delayed a lot of time, he would have caught up with Guoxinga a long time ago.

As for Qiqiao Town, Huang Daping didn't pay attention to it, the people in the city were originally organized into male and female battalions, which can be regarded as the Taiping Army. Although I don't know why they will help Guoxing'a, but now that Guoxing'a has run away, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, they will inevitably surrender.

However, Huang Daping was still very depressed, Guo Xing'a ran too fast. His subordinates are all hard-working and poor, and they are fast and familiar with the roads, but although Guoxinga has dozens of carts, his subordinates have a lot of war horses, and they are too fast to run. Moreover, some deep streams and shallow pools can be crossed by Guoxing'a quickly, as if the Qing army can conjure up bridges at any time, which is really confusing. If it weren't for the fact that the Guoxing Asuo Department stopped to rest today, it would have been really difficult for him to close the distance, and the two teams would have to travel for at least one day.

Guoxing'a, who set up camp overnight, was forced to play a race with Huang Daping, but Huang Daping was like a ghost chasing souls, and he couldn't get rid of him no matter what. Moreover, the Taiping army cut to the southwest side of the Qing army, blocking the way for the Qing army to return directly to the deserted village, and the Qing army could only be forced to go north, passing through the mountains and moving south. The villages in the mountains were also deserted, and in one village where the Qing army passed, the whole village died. The village was full of corpses, and it was not known whether it was the Taiping army, the official army, or bandits. However, the Qing army that investigated reported an abnormal situation to Guoxing'a, there were only adults and no children in the village, and Guoxing'a, who was busy on the road, had time to care.

This area is covered with a dense water network, and if there is no splicing pontoon bridge made by Yu Wendao, Guo Xing'a is estimated to have been caught up by Huang Daping. I thought that escaping into the mountains was an escape, but I knew that it was really unlucky to enter the mountains. The Qing army, which had many horses and carts, suddenly slowed down, and could not run forty miles in a day. The ditches and ditches that crossed the mountains and mountains cost the life of the war horse, and the wheels of the cart were also stuck several times. Sappers and infantry became the vanguard, having to wield shovels to clear the way, and the cavalry, who were good at shocking, could only follow aggrievedly.

However, Guo Xing'a, who sacrificed his life and money, became a road sign tracked by Huang Daping in order for the cart to pass through the simple road. Originally, there were roads in the mountains, but they had fallen into disrepair due to the war, and they were already rugged and difficult to navigate. To cross a four-wheeled carriage, the road must be leveled. Huang Daping just needs to follow the smooth road to chase it.

However, both sides did not sleep for several days, and their physical strength declined, and they had to camp in the mountains in the end. Less than 20 miles away, Huang Daping, who hated the root of his teeth, did not dare to chase, and Guo Xing'a, who fled and scattered, did not dare to run anymore, which was also a great spectacle. Everyone's physical strength is basically to the limit, Huang Daping can't catch up, if Guo Xing'a runs again, his physical strength is completely exhausted and he is caught up, then he will die miserably. Both sides have to save some physical strength, and they have some scruples, so they can only silently feel each other's breath in the dark night.

The Qing army camped in the mountains and did not set up camps, but scattered soldiers, and each unit rested in the wilderness in the form of a squad and platoon, and only the Chinese army and baggage in Guoxinga were under the protection of the supply company and the guard squad. The brothers Cao Meng and Li Zhi and their brothers also picked a place, dug a foxhole, and put the bedding in it to prepare for rest.

"Brother Cao Meng, the wind in the mountains is mostly covered at night!" Li Gen broke some branches and covered Cao Meng through the futon. Li Zhi and Cao Meng got along somewhat awkwardly, but because Cao Meng took special care of the brothers, Li Gen had long regarded Cao Meng as a big brother.

"Alright, Gen'er! Rest fast! I've been tired for a few days! Cao Meng felt that it was good to have such a younger brother, no wonder Li Zhi was desperately protecting him at the beginning.

"Get up, get some more branches, and cover the big guys!" Li Zhi beckoned the soldiers in his squad to get up.

"Squad leader, we're not cold, and the brothers over there aren't cold either!" The soldiers who were already lying down were reluctant to get up, and Li Zhi was easy-going on weekdays, and they dared to deal with a few words.

"It's not cold, it's not just about blocking the mountain wind." Li Zhi did not follow the flow of goodness.

"A few of you go too, get some more!" Cao Meng also waved his hand to let his subordinates come up to help.

The soldiers of the Qing army reluctantly got up to clean up the branches, and looked at Li Gen with a little resentment in their eyes: "It's all your kid's trouble." Li Gen could only smile awkwardly.

"You're careful enough! Long hairs are useful to the touch, and these branches are useful. Cao Meng and Li Zhipan talked, and they often chatted, but for some reasons, they always said two words and were speechless.

"Yes! It can save your life! Li Zhi smiled at Cao Meng.

"We are in a good position, as long as we use these branches to cover as soon as possible, and don't expose them, we can form flank fire." Cao Meng pointed to the surrounding terrain and analyzed.

"I knew to save my life, or you thought better!" Li Zhi said admiringly.

"Why, you should also listen to more officer training classes! That's what I learned there. Cao Meng suggested.

"In the first two days, I heard that the battalion commander and the deputy battalion commander were discussing things, and they would expand the organization after they went back, as if they were going to transfer you to the recruits as a platoon commander." Li Zhi didn't answer the lecture, but talked about the grapevine.

"Listen to the arrangement! There's nothing to do yet! Cao Meng was secretly happy in his heart.

"The deputy battalion commander wants you to be the company commander directly, and the adults have a good impression of you, but there is no place to arrange for those commanders to recuperate, so I can only wronged you." Li Zhi whispered.

"The adults also have a good impression of you, and if you really want to expand it, you also have hope. Let's go to the lectures! "Cao Meng always thinks about Li Zhi when he has good things.

"Yes! Let's go together next time. Li Zhi also smiled more naturally.

"If the guard squad no longer sends instructors down, your company commander's affairs will be dramatic!" Li Zhi said again.

"The instructors are still from the guard class, they are close to the adults, their consciousness is relatively high, and the reason is clear." Cao Meng didn't care about the position of the company commander, he felt that he could become a company sooner or later, and it would not be bad for him.

"Your consciousness is not low! Think about it! If you do, you'll be the first. Li Zhi wanted Cao Meng to think about it more, in case Guo Xing'a talked to Cao Meng, Cao Meng said it well, and he could really reward the company commander directly.

"The first one isn't Cheng Tai Cheng Company Commander!" Cao Meng didn't react.

"The commander of the company is also a flag man." Li Zhi looked at the stars in the sky.

"The first Han company commander!" Cao Meng woke up suddenly.

"Adults don't care about this, as long as you can do it, you are the one who came here with long hair, and the adults will use you." Guo Xing'a has always had a good impression of Li Zhi, as long as he sees it, he will chat a few words, and Li Zhi knows Guo Xing'a better.

"Will the battalion commander and staff officers agree?" Cao Meng also knew that Guo Xing'a didn't care about his background.

"Our battalion commander must be fine, Battalion Commander Mu also looks at his ability rather than his background, and it's hard to say to a few staff officers!" Li Zhi felt that a few old people were more concerned about their background.

"Yes! It makes sense, then I'll ......" Cao Meng frowned and thought about it, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the snoring in the bushes.

"Password...... What people, come out, don't come out and shoot again! "The soldiers who went to break the branches were in a hurry, a few with bayonets ready to charge, and a few others were loading ammunition.

"!" Cao Meng and Li Zhi also hurriedly jumped up, picked up the rifle in their arms and rushed forward.

Cao Meng and Li Zhi both had sweat on their foreheads, and although their positions deviated from the Chinese army, they were also in the inner line of defense. Who has such a great ability, bypassed several layers of defense lines of light and dark sentinels, and touched such a close distance. After getting closer, the two of them were even more afraid, indeed a few figures were surrounded by soldiers, if they hadn't sent someone to break the branches, they didn't know how they died.

"Bang!" If you are sure that there is someone, you don't have to hesitate, Cao Meng is a shot at the bushes. The first is to force the people inside out, and the second is to report to the whole army. The devil knows how many people came in, so he startled them with the sound of gunfire first, and when they all came out, it was easy to fight.

The poignant suona sound of "Didi...... resounded through the camp like a ghost crying, and the Qing army was noisy, all of which were the sound of picking up guns and footsteps, but they were all orderly. The platoon commanders of each company all entered the command position and commanded the troops to prepare for battle, and the soldiers were also ready for battle in their own foxholes, and even the recruit company did not panic, after all, they had practiced this kind of night warning countless times. This is also the result of the military training of Goxinga, if the old army is changed, in such a tired situation, suddenly there is a gunshot, even if there is no camp roar, the camp will have to be bombed.

"Where to shoot!" Goxinga rushed out of the tent with his belt on, and the guard squad quickly gathered around him to protect him.

"My lord, it's a company of directions, and I sent someone over to ask, and they caught a few people in the bushes, and their identities are still being interrogated." After waiting for a while, Zhang Yu asked about the situation and hurried over to report.

"Whoever stands guard tonight, pull him out and kill me." The timid Guo Xing'a was almost angry to death, and outsiders were found in the camp, and the people standing guard were all dead!

Guo Xing'a has a big shadow in his heart about the night camp robbery, his cheap Ama was killed by the night camp robbery, and the person who robbed the camp is called Huang Daping, Guo Xing'a doesn't want to be solved by Huang Daping's old tricks.

"Don't be afraid, who are you?" Li Zhi softly comforted the few captives he had just captured.

The captives were all about the same age as Goxinga, most of them were only twelve or thirteen years old. The clothes on his body were very familiar to the Han soldiers, and they also wore them like this when they were bandits, wearing countless patches up and down. The captives all had big watery eyes and looked timidly at the soldiers in front of them.

"We ...... I...... Hungry ......" The trembling teenagers hesitated a lot, and said a hungry word intermittently.
