In the battle of Yangzhuang Temple on June 30, the Xin'an Army led by Minister Yang broke the bandits and captured the bandit leader Ma Ma and the backbone of the bandit leader on the spot.

When the news came back, Pizhou City was a sensation, and the people were all excited.

Of course, according to external claims, the battlefield is near Lijiazhuang, not far from the provincial and state boundaries.

In this operation, the troops were divided into two routes, and when Minister Yang and others went up the Yi River, Zhang Songtao and others also continued to go north along the canal.

At noon, they disembarked near Yuwang Mountain, where they were planning to build a walled city, Zhang Songtao and others did not alarm anyone, they set up their own iron pots and kettles, simply used some rice and broth, and then all got on the horse, and rushed north.

The cavalry team explored the road early, they mainly walked along the Taogou River, went north into Yimeng Mountain, according to the path of the road at this time, from Yuwang Village to the nest of the Baoqinggu bandits about 200 miles.

They galloped across the wilderness, silent and desolate along the way, and rarely inhabited. Occasionally, I see the villages, all of which are dilapidated and desolate, and the people cultivate the fields near the edge of the village, all of them are vigilant, like frightened birds. There are many fields along the river, but now most of them are barren, except for the barren grass.

Shandong's bandits and soldiers are in turmoil, and there has been a severe drought year after year, although this year is better, but all parts of the country are unable to return to the sky early. Everyone saw that many of the originally prosperous villages along the way were abandoned, and as far as the eye could see, they were all ruined and ruined.

Sometimes you can also see homeless people, but they are all described as withered, yellow and thin, and when they see a large army, they hurriedly avoid it when they are far away.

What he saw and heard reminded many people of the situation when they fled.

In the evening, they entered the Yimeng Mountains, and that night, they rested at the foot of the White Horse Mountain. Early the next morning, they continued on their way, about twenty miles, with Lion Rock in front of them, and then they entered the hills and hills.

The sound of hooves roared, and thousands of horses' hooves stepped on the yellow earth, stirring up dust that spread like a sandstorm. The sun slowly rose, and the men and horses quickly became sweltering, and the dust was especially filled, which made everyone disgraced.

Fortunately, there is a mountain range in front of you, and there are many trees, pines, cypresses, etc. on the side of the mountain, which looks cool.

The cavalry with sentry scouts rushed back, the forest was fine, and the Chinese army also sent an order to rest and recuperate.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they all dismounted at the edge of the forest, rested and drank water, and sorted out their equipment.

"Huh, I'm dying of heat, isn't this Shandong north, why is it hotter than my Lingbi County?" Xiao Bao, the second-class soldier of the first team of the Sixth General Assembly, sat down, took out the bamboo kettle from the side of the sundries, and drank water.

He rubbed his forehead, looking at his hands full of mud and sweat, he was speechless.

"Whether it's hot or not, it doesn't matter whether it's near the north or not." Kong Wancai, a comrade-in-arms beside him, also took out the kettle, also gulped a few big sips, poured some more on his face, touched his buttocks, frowned, "After riding a horse for a day, my butt hurts so much." ”

"It's almost there." Cao Jingxing, who was in the same class, smiled and said, "It's not far from here." ”

He drank the water, comfortably stuffed the bamboo tube back into the side pocket of the glove bag, took off the fire gun from under his back, took out a muslin cloth, and habitually wiped it.

Looking at his dress, a red hat, a red mandarin duck jacket, a blue armor, a red shoulder scarf, a sundry bag and a medicine bag with oilcloth and leather, and a belt tied to it, and a sword, he looked mighty and elite.

Looking at the fire soldiers here, they are all like this, all of them are full of energy.

Their equipment is also slightly different from before, that is, each person has an extra sundries bag, which is available for all arms, in addition to loading all kinds of private things, there are also openings on the side, which can be stuffed into bamboo tubes, kettles, etc., at this time, the firecrackers are carried on the left side.

Because all of them were ridden, they also had a horse jacket, which contained all kinds of wild things, bean feed for the horses to eat, small buckets for drinking water, and so on. In some people's horse jackets, there are iron pots and kettles, more rice and dried meat, etc.

Cao Jingxing and others joined the army in March, and at the same time they had to practice horseback riding and take care of horses.

He is also a refreshing young man, his father Cao Zigui, his mother Xu Zhenniang, and a native of the north bank of Suining. Ma Xiaobao, Kong Wancai and others next to him are from Lingbi County, and Kong Wanjin from the first class, Gu Zigui and Wu Liujin from the fourth class, etc., are all people from Tong County in the northeast of Lingbi County.

During the March expansion, many refugees from Lingbi County joined the army and became ordinary soldiers. Their first chief Liu Zhiping, Wu Chang and deputy Zhao Yanhe, and Wu Chang Jia Pengdang were the people of Zhancheng on the north bank of Suining.

The deputy Yu Yugui and Huang Shouyi of the first team are also from the north shore of Suining, but the captain Guan Feng heard that he is from Jingzhou, Huguang. The deputy generals of their six generals, Li Cao and Dong Shicai, and the general Zhang Songtao are people from Suzhou, Bozhou and other places.

At present, the composition of the Xin'an Army is that most of the general-level officers are people from Du Wei's army, and most of them are from Bozhou, Suzhou, and Guidefu. The deputy general, the captain-level officer, is more than the people of the river temple when the army, and also many people from Bozhou, Suzhou and other places.

In addition, a large number of Suining people have entered the captain, team vice, and captain level positions, and the newly recruited refugees from Lingbi County and other places are mostly ordinary soldiers.

However, they have just experienced a series of fierce battles after training, especially the big battles with the thieves and others, and they have been reborn early, and they are full of sharpness in their gestures. Although they will soon face a big battle with the remnants of the green mountains, they are all unimpressed.

Cao Jingxing wiped his firearm, wiped all the dust and dust outside with a fine cloth, and took out the copper bolt and made it shiny. Then he used a small thin rod to pass through the hole of the fire door, pushed the copper bolt and pressed it, and then dialed the metal piece to the right, and all the procedures were completed, and he whistled softly.

Cao Jingxing loved the Xin'an firearm in his hand very much, and wiped it again and again every day, the only regret was that this firearm also used a fire rope, which was a little troublesome. I heard that the quartermaster station made two styles, all of which were self-generated styles, without the use of fire ropes, and I hope to change them as soon as possible.

At this time, the Xin'an army all used Xinzi medicine, and the armor-piercing power was increased to 70 steps, but due to process problems, it was not until the end of the year that all the flint-haired two-type Xin'an guns were replaced, and single-headed bullets were used.

Cao Jingxing put away his weapon, turned his back behind him, and looked at his comrades-in-arms here, all of whom were habitually maintaining their weapons.

In this regard, the Xin'an army has a very strict grasp, and the weapons are damaged, unclean, rusty, etc., if they are found, not only the soldiers, but also the captains and captains will be severely responsible. Maintaining weapons in their spare time has become a subconscious action of everyone.

At this time, Liu Zhiping, the first commander, and Zhao Yanhe, the chief of the army and the deputy of the first one, and the captain Jia Pengdang also came over with buckets, and the cavalry team had been sentry for a long time, and the march route was also planned by them, knowing where to go, where there was a mountain spring, and where to let the horses replenish water.

The crowd hurriedly filled their bamboo tubes, and then took down small buckets of water for their mounts to drink.

They marched for a quarter of an hour, and the horses drank water longer than the men, but this time was enough.

Liu Zhiping inspected, he was a very serious person, he was in his twenties this year, and he was the oldest among the teenage guys in the first color. He also likes to frown, I heard that because his family is a dilapidated little rich man, his parents have great expectations for him, which causes him to be under a lot of pressure.

He has obsessive-compulsive disorder in doing things, pursues perfection, and always makes everyone miserable, and Zhao Yan, the chief of the army and deputy of the first grade, and his bold personality are all tossed by him to be a little melancholy.

Wu Chang Jia Peng is a kind person, as his name suggests, he is good at communicating, and the brothers in Jiazhong all talk about him being very good at sycophancy, and always please the captain Guan Feng.

Liu Zhiping took Zhao Yanhe and Jia Pengdang to look around, and at this time the captain Guan Feng also came, wearing an officer uniform, a red armor jacket, a cyan shoulder scarf, and a back flag behind him. Team deputy Yu Yugui and Huang Shouyi followed, as well as two guards, all of whom were holding winged tiger guns.

Guan Feng is a young man with very sharp eyes, Cao Jingxing admires Captain Guan very much, I heard that he is only eighteen years old this year, only one year older than himself, he is the captain, and his experience is legendary.

However, the Xin'an Army is a young army, if young people like Guan Feng abound, if the third general Han Guan'er, he is younger than Guan Feng, he is already the general.

Soon, Guan Feng looked around, especially checked the weapons and equipment of several people, and then the order of the Chinese army came, packed up everything, got on the horse, and continued to advance.

Everyone got on their horses one after another, and word of mouth spread that because of the sneak attack on the march, there would be no need for a trumpet. Cao Jingxing finished tidying up early, packed up the buckets for the horses to drink, and looked at the saddles, etc., then stepped on the stirrups and turned over on the horse's back.

Soon everyone moved, and slowly accelerated from slow to fast in line with the march, and soon there was a loud sound of hooves and dust on this side of the mountain road.

Cao Jingxing was on the horse, and his body rose and fell rhythmically with the ups and downs of the horse's back, so as not to shovel his buttocks.

He looked ahead, the heads of horses and men dense in the smoke and dust, and the cold light of weapons loomed. Their marching columns were spread out in two columns, with two columns of each army running in parallel, and in front of the five teams was the captain of each team. Behind the captain, there were two teams of deputy parallels, and two guards in parallel.

Cao Jingxing belongs to the second class, and in front of them are the big shield soldiers of the first class, all of which are placed behind the saddle, and the first captain Guan Feng and others. Behind them were the third-class musketeers, the fourth-class and fifth-class spearmen, all with spears stuck in the sockets behind the saddles, and round shields on their backs.

The sun became hotter and hotter, and soon sweat soaked everyone's military uniforms, and the boots were slippery and greasy, but fortunately, they entered the mountainous and hilly area, and cool places could be seen everywhere.

After a while, the front is Turtle Mountain, which is closer to the calf, there are many springs here, and there is a lake between the Turtle Mountain and the Snake Mountain.

When they arrived here, the comrades-in-arms of the cavalry team galloped more urgently, they skillfully galloped on the mountain road, prancing horses like flying, coming and going to explore and report information.

As he was turning the mountain road, he suddenly heard shouts at the foot of the mountain beside the lake, and the sound of weapons colliding, followed by several sharp whistles.

And after this voice, the sound of sharp handcuffs sounded.

Cao Jingxing and the others were shocked, there was no such sentry arrow in the Xin'an army, could it be that the bandits found out?

He stepped on the stirrup to see, in front of the Chinese army, as well as the three general soldiers walking in front of the Chinese army, with the sound of handcuffs, he saw several horsemen rushing out of the side of the mountain, all wrapped in turbans, wearing cloaks, very strong, riding skills are very exquisite.

They were galloping diagonally, and they were about to jump and flee away, when a horse came out after them, and the gray felt cloak was fast, and under the felt hat, a pair of very cold eyes.

With a slap of her hand, there was a loud "bang", and a thief screamed, and she rolled off the horse.

She held the reins, and after pulling down the hammer, she aimed at a thief and a gun, Cao Jingxing and the others saw the gun, and the thief was in a bloody mist behind him, and he also screamed and rolled the horse down.

Then some cavalry came after them, and each one with a handclap fired, killing the remaining bandit sentry one by one.

Ma Xiaobao beside him exclaimed: "Little lady Qian is so sharp, she can't miss a shot...... Especially this equestrian is amazing. ”

Cao Jingxing also admired, although the handcuff can be held more steadily in one hand, it is not easy to launch on a horse, and like riding archery, there are many unstable factors. For them, the horse is not well ridden, and they will be struck on the horse, and they do not know when.

However, he is also worried, he has encountered a bandit sentry, and the special whistle arrow has passed back the news, and it seems that the remnants of the green mountains who are holding calves will be prepared.

But he is not afraid, if the secret attack fails, it will be better to fight openly.

Sure enough, the Chinese army passed down the order and marched quickly, and they did not hide it, using the horn sound to transmit the order.

Cao Jingxing and the others hurriedly advanced, and there was a sound of hooves on the mountain road.

Cao Jingxing felt that if he ran a few more times like this, he was afraid that his equestrian skills would go to the next level.

And when they arrived at the foot of Baoqinggu Mountain, the bandits here had already been alarmed, and the momentum was violent, and they poured out to fight. They occupied a hill southwest of Guqian and immediately began to arrange their troops.

Hug the calf topography, the surrounding peaks stand in a forest, and then a peak in the mountains protrudes, the top is like a cylindrical stone platform, this shape of the mountain is called "Gu". Because of the majestic hugging calf, the surrounding mountain is the highest, and the official name is "Jun Mountain" at this time.

There is a deep stream gully at the southwest foot of the calf, the east side of the stream is the Qinghua view and the Chaoyun view, and then there are many trees on the hillside, and there is Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, Zhuangzi, Qinghuaguan, and Chaoyunguan were all occupied by bandits, and when they heard that some officers and soldiers were coming to suppress them, they especially hit their own nests, and the pseudo-marshals Feng Maohong and Li Mingxiang were furious, and immediately gathered soldiers and horses to meet the battle after the sentry cavalry returned.

They don't know where these officers and soldiers came from, because they don't have any banners, and they are a little frightened to see their horsemen, but everyone else has touched their own door, how can they flinch and flee?

And although they fled here in the first month, they looted everywhere, and a large amount of grain, grass, baggage, and silver were stored in Zhuangzi and Chaoyunguan, etc., and these were all gone?

Although the officers and soldiers are elite, there are too few people, and there are thousands of them, so they may not be without the strength to fight!

They lined up along the front of the village and the southeast hill, and several thousand people were divided into several groups, the left, the center and the right flanks, and immediately launched an attack on the position of the Xin'an army.

……

"Prepare for battle!" The Chinese army passed down the order.

Captain Guan Feng, team deputy Yu Yugui, Huang Shouyi and others shouted: "Prepare for battle, all the soldiers are lit with fire ropes!" - Be careful to avoid arrows - "

Cao Jingxing took out his fire fold and stuffed it into the iron cylinder on the side of the medicine bag, which was a must as a soldier.

He threw off the fire, lit his own fire rope, stuffed the fire fold, and then pulled out the copper bolt machine that bent down after the fire hammer, stuffed a fixed paper tube ammunition, and was ready with a push and a card.

Then he squatted behind the big shield, and the shield hand in front of him was Xing Yizhen, a young man with a cold expression, a wife Jiang Zizhen, who seemed to be from Xiayi, Guide, and spoke a very mellow Central Plains official dialect.

Xing Yi didn't talk much, and the brothers in the team were very curious about his forehead, because there was an obvious scar over there, just like Erlang. All the brothers are curious, who did Brother Xing kowtow to, so hard, he broke his head.

Xing Yizhen is surrounded by Kong Wanjin, who is Kong Wancai's elder brother. Unlike Kong Wancai's somewhat cunning temperament, Kong Wanjin is a very honest person, Kong Wu is powerful, so he acts as a big shieldman. Then he also had his younger brother Kong Wanyin, who worked in the artillery team. has a younger brother Kong Wanbao, who was used as a secretary because he knew Braille.

Cao Jingxing squatted quietly waiting for the order, beside him were Ma Xiaobao and Kong Wancai, they heard that the remnants of the Qingshan thieves on the opposite side had launched an attack, and in the sound of the big drum, the screams and strange whistlings were endless, as if they were coming like a tide, but the shield was in the way, and they couldn't see anything.

The large shield is not good at this, it affects the vision very much, and it is a bit bulky, but it is necessary without armor.

Behind them were the top three firecrackers, who were squatting in rows, also quietly waiting for orders.

"Watch out for arrows!" Suddenly, the officers of each team shouted one after another, Cao Jingxing and the others all shrank a little to the side of the shield, and the big shield held by Xing Yizhen in front of them also leaned inward.

Listening to the vibration of the bowstring on the opposite side, in the sound of sighing, the sky was dark, and hundreds of sharp arrows were shot at a rapid pace, and then the big shields of Xing Yizhen, Kong Wanjin and others in front of them sounded like a torrential rain.

Some arrows also flew over the big shields, and behind the firecrackers, a few steps away, were the spearmen of the four and five armors, who had already held the shields they were carrying in their hands, and at this time they blocked the arrows, and the sound of arrows falling from each person's leather shield was also non-stop.

Fortunately, everyone had shields to block the arrows, but it was no obstacle, Cao Jingxing listened to the archers on the opposite side shoot a few times, and the footsteps of the bandits outside were getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, an officer gave an order, and the captain Guan Feng also shouted: "The fire soldiers are ready to fight!" ”

Cao Jingxing roared loudly, stood up at the same time as Ma Xiaobao and Kong Wancai beside him, and came to the gap between the shields with a gun and poked out the fire gun in his hand.

He saw that the bandits outside were black and oppressive, and he didn't know how many people there were, and they were fierce and vicious, holding weapons and just shouting, and they had already entered within a hundred steps. Sure enough, this gang of bandits is not trivial, only a little worse than the sacrifice thieves they have fought before.

But Cao Jingxing is no longer a rookie, and at a glance, he locks on a bandit like a "leader", and his hand is as steady as Mount Tai.

Ma Xiaobao, Kong Wancai and others beside him are the same, after the training of blood and fire, they have become qualified elite soldiers.

They probed with a rod of birds, and the eighty black and pressed bird guns were the remnants of the green mountains who were coldly howling in front of them.

And their military formation, three on the left, six on the right, one on the fourth, and two on the eight, was eighty large shields, and one hundred and sixty soldiers fought in two columns. Behind the gunners, one hundred and sixty spearmen also fought in two columns.

This time, the cavalry, the sharps, and the grenadiers were in battle, and they were now arrayed, with one hundred and fifty cavalry on the right side of the formation, and one hundred and twenty men of the grenadiers on the left side of the formation, and their men and horses moved behind the hill.

In the face of the tidal wave of thieves in the green mountains, the military formation was still quiet, and it did not move if it was a reef in a rushing wave.

Cao Jingxing held the gun and aimed, and from time to time arrows flew over his head, but he couldn't move.

Suddenly, he heard a sharp swan sound, and without thinking, it was to pull the plate machine, and the fire rope of the dragon's head fell.

Cao Jingxing saw the blood mist rising from the chest of the "leader"-like bandit, his expression was a little sluggish, so he rolled out, and at the same time there were screams on the left and right in front of him.

Cao Jingxing didn't care about looking too much, so he retreated with a gun, came to the big shield and squatted down to reload, while the top three firearms moved forward to the right, came to the gap between the shields, and aimed with the guns and waited for orders.

Cao Jingxing squatted, and the copper bolt machine that he bent down after pulling the chamber was smoky and steaming inside.

He blew, took out a cartridge of ammunition and stuffed it in, pushed and stuck it again, and saw that the fire rope was fine, and he was ready to fire again.

At this time, he listened to the sharp sound of swans, a sharp and neat sound of guns on his head, and there were more screams in front of him, as if the bandits there were a little chaotic, and at the same time, the surging gunpowder smoke spread even more, enveloping his front and back, left and right.

At this time, the three brothers withdrew and reloaded, and he stepped forward with a gun, and then came to the gap between the shields, and aimed at the outer room with a gun.

In the smoke, many bandits outside the shield were screaming, scurrying like headless flies, as if they were stunned by the two rows of guns, but there were also many people yelling and shouting, and they continued to step forward. Someone else shouted: "Mother's legs, they're done fighting, hurry up!" ”

Cao Jingxing had a smile on his face, with this kind of breech gun, there are often mistakes in judgment by bandits, and he likes them like this.

Seeing them rush into forty steps, and a sharp swan sound sounded behind them, Cao Jingxing aimed at a thief, and pulled the board machine fiercely.

Cao Jingxing fired three shots before and after, and the second platoon of gunners was six rows of guns, and the shouts outside were terrible, and at the foot of the mountain, there were densely packed corpses and wounded people who had been shot.

But there may be a lot of bandits, and it is the first time to face this kind of breech gun, and they almost rush straight up in a daze, and the black pressure is approaching the shield array.

Cao Jingxing and the others retreated, holding the fire gun filled with the medicine, waiting for the order, while the spearmen behind stepped forward, and the big shield bearers in front set up their positions.

There was a sudden bang, and countless bandits slammed into the big shield, Xing Yizhen and the others gritted their teeth and resisted fiercely.

Accompanied by the sound of impact, there was also the sound of knives and axes, and suddenly a hand poked in from the side of the shield, and wanted to lift Xing Yizhen's shield.

Xing Yizhen snorted, the big knife slashed hard, a terrible scream came from outside the shield, and a bloody left hand fell.

At this time, the captain Guan Feng ordered: "Drop the spear!" ”

Li Dayin, the fourth armor chief, put down the spear, and the same was true of Gu Zigui, Wu Liujin and others around him, and the sound of the spear being put down was neat and sharp. They were in two rows, and Senhan's spears poked out from between the gaps in their shields, as fierce as fangs.

"Thorn!"

Gu Zigui and the others stabbed hard, and the blood rain fell in front of them, with a hoarse wail.

The blood that came out of the bodies of the bandits rendered the major shields gorgeous.

"Thorn!"

Gu Zigui looked at a bandit in front of him, and stabbed it again, and the sharp spearhead pierced straight into his mouth.

"Into the wall!" Captain Guan Feng ordered again, and like him, there were also orders from the captains one after another.

Xing Yizhen lifted the shield hard, Gu Zigui and the others were still probing their spears, they roared rhythmically, and Sen Han's shield array was forced to go.

And through the gap in the shield, you can see the bandits who are rolling and crawling over there.

"Guns come forward!" Captain Guan Feng ordered again.

Cao Jingxing and the others were waiting with guns, and when they heard this, they immediately stepped forward, and the shield array of Xing Yizhen and the others also let Cao Jingxing and the others go out.

Cao Jingxing walked out of the shield array, and immediately his vision was much better, and the countless bandits in front of him were even more screaming when they saw them come out.

"Shoot!"

A row of firecrackers pulled the trigger against the bandits in front of them, and a line of fierce fire burst out, and there was a mist of blood in front of them, and the screams were earth-shattering.

"Shoot!"

The fire soldiers of the top three crossed Cao Jingxing and the others, and they gathered a total of sixty eighty guns, and bombarded the bandits in front of them, making corpses and blood even more the theme here.

"Shield Array step forward!"

Immediately, Xing Yizhen and the others stepped forward again, and the dense shield array covered Cao Jingxing and the others behind, and Gu Zigui and the others put down their spears, and they became two rows of cold fangs.

"Into the wall!"

"Roar—roar—roar—"

Xing Yizhen and the others were carrying shields, Gu Zigui and others were holding spears, they roared rhythmically, contradictions were intertwined, and Sen Han's shield array was forced again.

They cooperated tacitly, and when they stabbed, the spear that poked out was like a hedgehog stained with blood, and when they shot, there seemed to be a smoke dragon in front of them.

They marched forward like a wall, with firearms, spears, and shields, just moving forward, as if they were going to devour every enemy in front of them!

……

The battle lasted until noon, and the puppet marshals Feng Maohong and Li Mingxiang had to admit defeat.

Trying to attack from both flanks, they attacked the cavalry formation in infantry formations, and the attackers were trampled to pieces by their fierce elite cavalry battle formation.

Under the blood to attack their elite cavalry with a horse team, they actually sent out the cavalry, this soldier is so strange, the handcuffs do not use the fire rope, but also three consecutive hits. Two hundred horsemen fought against fifty of them, and they flew kites in circles and shot them on their horses with handcuffs, and more than half of them were killed and wounded, but most of them did not even touch their horses' hair.

In a panic, the remaining horses on the top of their mountain took the opportunity to rush in, spears and sabers, unstoppable, and finally only a dozen horsemen escaped back. Feng Maohong and the others only had a team of more than 400 horses, and they lost nearly half of them this time, and they didn't dare to move anymore.

and the other flank, all with shields, sneaky, and unknown troops, the army on foot, no matter how far on foot, threw a tide of 10,000 enemies, and blew them up on the spot. even took the opportunity to counterattack and attack from the waist of their attacking midfield, so that the attacking army of that burst had no choice but to rout.

In the end, Feng Maohong, Li Mingxiang and others were desperate and retreated to the village to hold on, but the opponent covered with a shield, fired a volley of firearms, and threw 10,000 enemies violently, and some elite soldiers threw them on the wall with iron hooks to climb, and the remnants of the soldiers who had no fighting spirit were defeated in a quarter of an hour.

This rout represents the complete defeat of Feng Maohong, Li Mingxiang and other Qingshan thieves, they retreated to Qinghuaguan and Chaoyunguan, but the opponent attacked in a hurry, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they fled from the temple in embarrassment and continued to flee.

The officers and men on the opposite side pursued closely, and the pursuit continued until 30 June, when "marshals" Feng Maohong and Li Mingxiang were beheaded, and more than a dozen "generals" under their command were also killed.

Before they died, many of them did not know where the officers and soldiers on the other side came from, what their names were, and what grievances they had against them.

More than 1,000 bandits were captured in this battle, and Zhang Songtao had already received Yang He's order and ordered them to be killed.

In the end, the backbone of the remnants of the thieves in Qingshan were all killed, the 400 horse team, and more than 3,000 foot soldiers were basically destroyed, and the few remaining fish that escaped the net were no longer a threat.

In addition to killing the enemy, the harvest was not small, such as the capture of more than 1,000 horses and mules, 500 war horses, more than 700 mules and donkeys, and a large number of cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks.

In addition, the thieves also seized about 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 stones of rice, flour and beans, which could be eaten by thousands of bandits for half a year, all of which belonged to the Xin'an Army.

On 1 July, Zhang Songtao and others returned with a mighty move and received the news of victory again, Yang He was happy in his heart, whether it was the bandits in Pizhou or the bandits outside, they were finally eliminated, and he could finally settle down and concentrate on his own affairs.

However, for this victory, he declared to the outside world: "The remnants of Qingshan invaded my Pizhou, and the township soldiers repelled them near Changgou, but most of the remnants of the thieves are still there, and the construction of Zhuzhai cannot be delayed." ”
