The old man did his best to gather all the rich families who had been robbed, there were five or six in total, and all of them cried and grabbed the sky and the land to ask Guoxinga to make decisions for them. But none of these five or six families of more than 20 people could tell the whereabouts of the Twist Army, and they didn't even have a general direction, and they almost didn't make Guoxing angry to death.

In fact, it's no wonder that these rich people are confused, in the middle of the night, a bunch of strongmen came into the door, and the open fire was shouting and shouting and killing, and robbing things and people, these rich people had already lost their souls with fright. When the strongman left, they were either busy rescuing their families or crying in the yard, and no one dared to go to the sentry to find out where the thieves were.

"These people are useless, so let's ask the other people! They were less robbed and calmer, and perhaps they saw where the army was going. "Several officers gathered and came up with an idea that was not an idea.

The guard squad began to pull people in the town, but the few who were pulled in were so frightened that they couldn't even say their names, let alone the whereabouts of the Twisted Army. A few young people from wealthy families who were not arrested also went out to find a few people, but they all didn't work, and they didn't know anything.

"It's all benefited, and I can't ask if I know!" This gang of twisters took the route of fighting local tyrants, and only attacked the rich, and some things that could not be taken away must have been directly distributed to the people in the town. The people are equal to those who see it, and all of them are on the thief ship, where are they willing to confess their accomplices.

"These people who kill a thousand knives, run private schools, build bridges and pave roads, we spend less money, how much favor they have received from us, and now they actually help thieves to harm us!" The three-finger-wide carved gold bracelet made her husband the first to jump up angrily.

"Let's go find a few ruffians, or the kind of people who look like villains!" Guo Xing'a didn't bother with the carved gold bracelet for her husband, but asked Fuquan to find a few people with specific characteristics.

"What's this guy like?" Fuquan was a little unsure of what kind of person Guo Xing'a wanted, so he asked more.

"Looks like a traitor?" Guo Xing'a thinks that the bad guys are all looking like them, so he looks like them, although they can't all be, at least the hit rate is higher.

"Master, what is a traitor?" Guo Xinga forgot that before the Anti-Japanese War, traitor was not a popular word.

"Fuquan, you look for it like your old brother and me." Xishou said very self-knowingly.

"Oh!" Fuquan suddenly realized. Guo Xing'a glanced back, Xishou was really a traitor, and he was just a mid-point head shape.

The time is not big, Fuquan really brought back a few obscene men, and a few of them are even more unbearable than Xishou. Seeing Guo Xing'a, these people trembled and knelt on the ground, but occasionally looked up and peeked, and their eyes were cunning.

"Who knows where the bandits went? If you know and say it, I have a reward? Guo Xing'a was holding a piece of silver that had just come from Xishou, which was more than ten taels.

"The villain doesn't know, the villain is timid, he has been hiding at home last night, and he dares to go out at noon today?" Several people have exactly the same caliber. Except for one of these boys who didn't speak, they all came out to take advantage of the fire last night to rob, and several of them led the way for the Twist Army, and they all had a share of the profits.

"Let's talk about it now! Now what! I will reward you with the silver. Now, if you don't say it, I'll send someone to search your house, and find out something from the house of these rich people, and I'll cut you down as a bandit!" Guo Xing'a tried to make himself laugh as scary, and he also knew that his ten taels of silver might not be as much as what these people got last night, so scaring was the right way.

"Villain...... The villain ...... "Except for a kind heart with a bad face, everyone else was shocked, and even stumbled when they spoke."

"For the last time, those who say clearly and clearly will be rewarded, and those who can't be said will be killed!" Goshinga handed them the money.

"Villain...... The villain ...... "A few people are still stumbling."

"Fuquan took people to escort them to search from house to house, and found that there was something wrong, and executed them on the spot!" Guo Xing'a casually threw the silver on the ground, turned around and asked Fuquan to lead his troops to kill.

"Spare your life! Villain move! "A particularly obscene and timid person was directly cheated out.

"Say!" Guo Xing'a turned his back and smiled triumphantly.

"Last night, the bandits entered the town, and the villain went out to check, but was kidnapped by the bandits, forcing the villain to lead the way. It wasn't until the bandits had enough of looting that they let the villain go. When they released the villain, they went all the way to the west. "This man is the least daring among the few splashes, and all the belongings he got last night were thrown on the kang at home, if the officers and soldiers really went to search, he would definitely die. Frightened, he told all the information about last night in one breath, but he took the initiative to lead the way and was coerced by bandits.

"Where did they go?" Goxinga hopes to get some more accurate information.

"Wang Miao, the villain heard them seem to be going to the Wang Temple, and the other villains really don't know." This man kowtows like a chicken running to broken rice, obviously his liver and gallbladder are broken.

"The money is yours!" Goxinga turned around and kicked the silver that had just been thrown on the ground in front of the man.

"Thank you, sir!" The man's whole body trembled.

"It's none of your business, let's go!" Guo Xing'a also found the unlucky ghost with a disgusting face and pointed out to let him go, and the other scoundrels knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

Guo Xing'a rested for a while, ate a simple bite of food, and then ordered the army to pursue the royal temple. The town was unable to pass Goxinga's staggering number of horse teams, so Goxinga had to leave the town again, then bypass the town and set off again.

"Bastard, you're hurting my whole family!" After Guo Xing'a left with the people, the scoundrels kneeling on the ground didn't dare to get up, but only occasionally raised their heads to see if the officials and soldiers had gone away, and made sure that Guo Xing'a had gone away, and a few people dared to get up. But before they could stand firm, a group of rich people pounced on them like hungry tigers. The old man, the old lady, and the young man rushed up, and the scoundrels did not dare to fight back, and even pinched and bitten, and the screams resounded throughout the town.

Guoxing's troops quickly rushed to Wangmiao Town, but found nothing, and Wangmiao Town had been reduced to rubble. In the big town with thousands of households, there are now only 100 people left, and there are blood stains and corpses everywhere.

"It wasn't a group of people!" Fengsheng Ah entered the town and carefully surveyed it, and the style of the gang of twisters who ransacked Wangmiao Town was very different from the previous town.

"I'm afraid that many bandits have gathered." Bi Yuntao and others also watched it.

"Ignore him, keep looking!" In fact, Goxinga also hopes that the Twist Army will gather together, so that it will be more difficult to deal with everywhere.

"My lord, my department has been out for six or seven days, do you want to go back to Texas to rest!" Bi Yuntao suggested to Guo Xing'a. The original 100,000 taels was drawn up on the premise that Guoxinga could make a quick decision, and now the days of searching and arresting will drag on for a long time, and Bi Yuntao is suggesting that Guoxinga go back to Texas to ask for money. As for the twisting army to endanger the people everywhere, it is not within Bi Yuntao's consideration.

"Hmmm! Reasonable, go back to Texas! "Guo Xing'a has actually passed by Texas a few times in the past few days, but he only passed by and handed over the head of the prisoners, and did not enter the city to rest. Now that the record is also there, and the days are almost over, it's time to go back and ask for money.

To the north of Wangmiao is the county seat of the plains, and then to the north is Dezhou, which is only more than 100 miles apart, and the Guoxing Asuo can return to Dezhou in one day. But as soon as the brigade crossed the plain, the situation was not right, and the scouts kept spotting small groups of the Twisters around, and they would soon gather again after they dispersed. Moreover, the scouts were also in the direction of Linyi and Wucheng, and found traces of the large-scale movement of the Twist Army.

"It's a repeat trick!" Guo Xinga rode slowly on his horse, and after receiving the information, he was not without emotion. This is the same way to deal with Wen Yu, and it was used on Guo Xing'a's body, wanting to take advantage of Guo Xing'a's return to Texas to attack him again.

"My lord, do you want to speed up the march, or enter the plain county!" Xiande, who has always been a nominal staff officer, put forward two relatively safe plans, one is to speed up the march and throw off the twisted army, and the other is to enter the plain county town and hold on to the city. Of course, Guo Xing'a has never accepted Xiande's request, and Xiande has never looked like a staff officer, but like a complimentary.

"We can't find them when we look for them, how can we run! What a rare opportunity! If we run away, or enter the plain county, where will we find them next time? Wait for them to come, and destroy the enemy in the field! I've got something new to show you around! "The hard-looking Twist Army is willing to come out by himself, and of course Guo Xing'a has to wait for the big fish to take the bait. He longed for all the remnants of the Twist Army to come over, which also saved him from looking everywhere, and he could solve them all at once. In the eyes of Guoxinga, the 30,000 twisted army is a group of ordinary people who scare people by pretending.

"My lord, should we stop and prepare for the fortifications!" Bi Yuntao knew that the proud army would be defeated, so it was better to be safe, and imagined that like the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, he had prepared fortifications and waited for the army to die.

"It's useless, these people are very timid, if you build the fortifications, they won't dare to come! Array in the field, just destroy the enemy in battle! Guo Xing'a was afraid that his actions would scare away the Twist Army.

"Don't be careless, the Twist Army is mostly cavalry, not better than infantry, the impact speed of the war horse is too fast, and the soldier only has one chance to load. If you can't keep a distance, once you get caught in a white-knuckle battle, not to mention the victory or defeat, the troops will only increase casualties, is it worth it? "Tan Shaoguang is now the person with the best theoretical knowledge and weapon knowledge in the Qing army, and he has studied the weapons and tactical characteristics of all branches of the Guoxing Army. According to his calculations, if the cavalry battalion of Xing'a attacked the phalanx of the infantry battalion without trenches head-on, it would only take one company of casualties to crush the infantry.

"Don't worry, I know it!" Guo Xing'a smiled at Tan Shaoguang, this uncle has recently started to help Guo Xing'a think about problems, which is really a good sign.

Gohinga also considered cavalry and infantry, but he was thinking not only about tactics, but also about the future. Judging from the current technical conditions alone, cavalry is definitely the strongest type of troops, but Guo Xinga knows that cavalry is a class of troops that will be eliminated sooner or later, and it is not wise to make great efforts to develop cavalry, or to give up cavalry. Moreover, in a series of battles, the Guoxinga Department actually had to face all kinds of cavalry, and the cavalry was a hurdle that could not be bypassed in the process of building the Guoxinga army.

Cavalry has two main advantages, one is the fastest maneuver speed at present, and it is not limited by terrain and road conditions. The second is the impact during the attack, Guoxinga won several battles before, and the final word was the cavalry charge. But the cavalry also has its own shortcomings, since the popularization of muskets and artillery, the status of the cavalry has seriously declined, the main task is only to raid and pursue the remnants of the enemy, and the frontal battlefield has nothing to do with the cavalry. Goxinga's cavalry was also dispatched when the infantry gained superiority, or after the artillery broke the enemy's position, the cavalry never fought a hard battle, because the casualties Goxinga could not bear.

Guoxinga not only had to retain the advantages of cavalry, but also had to properly avoid the shortcomings of cavalry in the new era, so Guoxinga made cavalry infantry. They can do the work of cavalry charges, and they are also extremely mobile infantry, so they can take care of both. However, the cavalry is still only an idea, and it is still very difficult to practice, so it can only be said that it is a development direction in the future. Just like now, all the troops of Guoxing Asuo are riding mules and horses, which can be regarded as riding infantry, but only the four companies of the original cavalry battalion can really charge on horseback. After all, riding on horseback to drive is not the same as riding a horse to cut people, this riding skill has to be practiced.

"My lord, the bandits are surrounded, I will lead the cavalry battalion to attack, let's break them up first!" The Twist Army lifted the veil between the two armies and showed its hole cards, and the 20,000 Twist Army surrounded the Guoxing Asuo Division from four directions. Looking at the gradually approaching Twist Army, Mu Shun was the first to come out to ask for battle.

"Order, the whole army dismounts and forms a formation to meet the enemy! Teach you a new way to play, ride with foot! Guo Xinga smiled and said an order that surprised everyone.
