Although Katsubo's ability is very poor, he is not a fool, he knew from the beginning that he couldn't beat Goxinga, so he never thought of fighting Goxinga. Goxinga was going to be exterminated, but Katsuho knew that the person who exterminated Goxinga was definitely not himself, and he was at most beating the side drum. As for whether the great merit of exterminating Guoxing'a was received by Seng Lingqin or Chunyou, it has nothing to do with him.

He has been standing still in Yongqing, just to sit and watch the success or failure, waiting for Seng Lingqin and Guoxinga to fight. In case the monk Grinqin can cripple Guoxing'a, he can still mend the knife from behind, just like the battle of Bali Bridge, and enjoy the success, and only have the great merit of destroying Guoxing'a. If Seng Lingqin and Chunyou are both cleaned up by Guoxing'a, he can also make a detour to Beijing with the troops in his hand, protect the saint and move the capital, and at that time at least he can mix with the first auxiliary army to do it.

He never thought about what to do if Guoxing'a won, there are many people in the Qing Dynasty! Without Monk Greenqin and Zeng Guofan, even Zeng Guofan can't beat Guoxing, and there are Duolonga, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang, who can grind Guoxinga to death sooner or later. As long as the holy driving is in hand, Shengbao can be invincible.

It is precisely because of this intention in his heart that Shengbao has always connived at his subordinates, exchanging the blood and tears of the people for the loyalty of his subordinates. It is also because of this that Shengbao has never dared to make any moves against the Gu'an Army, and just blindly falsely reported his military exploits, because he must preserve his strength and be the last person to laugh. He didn't dare to make any temptation to Goxinga, lest he draw Goxinga's attention to him.

A large group of people in the Shengbao Department were very happy in Yongqing, and although the Gu'an Army was not far from them, they had been ignoring them, and they were so happy that they forgot the existence of these people. Of course, everyone is drunk, and naturally there are people who are sober alone, such as Song Jingshi in Jingdongying.

Song Jingshi, a native of Tangyi, Shandong, has been poor since childhood, loves to practice boxing, and has practiced kung fu. When he was a little older, he roamed the rivers and lakes, played boxing, and served as a martial arts instructor in many places, with no less than thousands of apprentices. He has a gentle appearance, but he is strong by nature, and he likes to fight and fight when encountering problems, and enjoys high prestige among the local people. Although he followed the White Lotus Sect, he was a person with pursuits, and he was by no means a heinous person. The rest of the Shengbao department is burning, killing and looting, but Song Jingshi's Jingdong camp is out of the way, and when they encounter fleeing refugees, they will also cover and provide relief, and they are definitely living bodhisattvas in the hell of Yongqing.

Song Jingshi's rebellion was not because he believed in a cult, he hated the government for being unreasonable, and the people had no livelihood, so he ascended to the heights and shouted. The surrender of Shengbao was also forced by the situation, and he still had a rebellious heart. Moreover, Song Jingshi was very sympathetic to the other rebel armies, and was assigned to battle by Shengbao, but he also did not contribute to the work, and even often failed to make fighters for the class brothers. But this time when he returned to Shiqin Wang, Song Jingshi was very active, he didn't have any good impression of the imperial court, he was in a hurry to deal with Guoxinga.

Song Jingshi was born in Shandong, so he naturally knew the name of Guoxing'a for a long time, but he didn't have the glorious image of Guoxing'a in his memory, all of them were looted and looted by the Gu'an army. When Guo Xing'a pursued the Twist Army in Shandong, his hands and feet were not very clean, although he did not have the hard work of open fire, but he also bankrupted many villages. At that time, Song Jingshi, who was still wandering the rivers and lakes, saw with his own eyes the scene after the Gu'an army crossed the border, which was not much stronger than the locust crossing, except for the clothes on his body and the things he was carrying, the Gu'an army did not even leave a thread to the people. Song Jingshi has also seen some villages that have been slaughtered by the "twisting bandits", and they really did not leave any chickens and dogs, and not a single living thing was left. Of course, Song Jingshi knew that the Twist Army would not do this, and even if the Twist Army wanted to do this, he did not have such ability, and the trick of the Gu'an Army thief shouting to catch the thief was exposed by him at a glance.

It is precisely because she has seen the atrocities of the Gu'an Army with her own eyes that Song Jingshi hates the Gu'an Army incomparably. This time he finally didn't have to fight the rebel army in the north, Song Jingshi was already happy, and he was even more enthusiastic when he was able to fight the Gu'an Army to avenge the people of Shandong. Song Jingshi was particularly active this time, others were looking for fun, but he was patrolling the defense, always keeping an eye on every move of the Gu'an Army.

The Gu'an army has not moved for more than ten days, and Song Jingshi thought that the Gu'an army was also slacking off like Shengbao, and was secretly sighing that the world was as black as a crow, preparing to sneak attack the Gu'an army! A sentry surprises him. Early this morning, a group of more than 200 Gu'an troops stepped out of the defense line and began to move in the direction of Yongqing. The two hundred people definitely didn't come to attack, but Song Jingshi was still extremely excited, and the fighter plane he had been waiting for finally arrived, and immediately ordered to meet the enemy.

Song Jingshi has also heard the name of the Gu'an army for a long time, and he did not dare to be careless about the first strong army in Manchuria, and the Gu'an army came with a team of 200 people, and he gathered 3,000 elites to fight. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Song Jingshi did not drive over with great fanfare, but took advantage of the defensive advantage and set up an ambush on the route of the Gu'an army's advance in advance. Song Jingshi's men and horses are all from the green forest, and they are engaged in ambushes and hidden, which is no worse than the Gu'an army. This small team with an unknown purpose, the Gu'an Army, did not discover Song Jingshi's ambush, and crashed into it stupidly.

"Brother Song, you are too anxious, there are a lot of muskets in Gu'an, but your brothers don't even have bows and arrows, how can you be their opponent. Rushing to kill the brothers will only send the brothers to death in vain, so it is better to withdraw quickly! Song Jingshi was about to kill these daredevils in one go, but a nasty ghost chased after him in the camp.

This nasty ghost is called He Huan, not from Shandong, but he also raised troops in Shandong. This kid has a set of demagoguery and soldiers, and when Song Jingshi was still a guerrilla, he had already conquered the county seat. However, Song Jingshi looked down on him very much, because he was not a person with backbone. As soon as Shengbao's army entered Shandong, He Huan didn't even dare to resist, and directly chose to flee. Sheng Bao not only failed to defeat He Huan, but it was difficult to even find his traces, He Huan could cross Qilu. But Shengbao just gave another six-grade thousand total move price code, and this kid took more than 2,000 brothers to drop.

Song Jingshi also descended to the imperial court, and it stands to reason that fifty steps should not be laughed at a hundred steps, but He Huan is like a grandson everywhere, and Song Jingshi is not used to seeing people who have no interest in this way. In fact, He Huan not only grovels to Shengbao, but also welcomes Song Jingshi, every time they meet, they show a smile at twenty steps, and start bowing at ten steps. But Song Jingshi is arrogant, and the more He Huan is like this, the more Song Jingshi looks down on him.

After the army went north, He Huan went to Shengbao again to betray his goodness, not saying that he was also from Shandong, and leaned the camp on the edge of Song Jingshi. Song Jingshi can't annoy He Huan every day, but it's hard to beat the smiling person with a fist, He Huan is waiting in front of the saddle and behind the horse, and Song Jingshi can only endure it. Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Jingshi moved his troops this time, He Huan chased after him, and began to point fingers at him without shame.

"My brothers have all practiced martial arts with me, not ordinary cowards, and I'm afraid that their muskets won't work! If you want to help share the merits of the war, quickly transfer people and horses, and if you are afraid of death, go back quickly! Song Jingshi's words were very unpleasant, so she almost pointed at her nose and scolded He Huan for being cowardly. Song Jingshi has a fiery temper, she originally hated He Huan, and when she was about to move the army, she didn't leave him any face at all.

"I wish Brother Song a victory, and I will arrange for people to pick you up!" He Huan was not angry, he was still smiling, nodding and bowing.

Song Jingshi was too lazy to take care of He Huan, and began to stare intently at the Gu'an army who walked into the ambush circle step by step. Song Jingshi is also an old hunter, so his patience is very good, and he did not give the order to do it until the Gu'an army had all entered the depths of the ambush circle. However, the effect of the first wave of arrow rain is very bad, and the Gu'an army seems to have been specially trained to deal with similar situations. It was obviously a sneak attack that caught him off guard, and thousands of feather arrows were shot out, but they only injured more than a dozen people in the Gu'an army. Moreover, these people are very skillful in lying down, and the feather arrows all fall in a parabola, and none of them are seriously injured, all of them are only minor injuries.

Before Song Jingshi could wave his army to kill, the Gu'an army had already quickly formed a circular formation, and there were about one person in one battle, lying on three floors. There were still dozens of people in the core of the circle, but they did not lie down, but fiddled with two cannons, and two strange objects that looked like cannons and guns. When Song Jingshi was still thinking about what kind of strange firearms the Gu'an army used, the eight hundred forward elite sword and axe men had already rushed out and killed the Gu'an army's circle formation from all directions.

The dense sound of muskets came as scheduled, and Song Jingshi watched the elite brothers fall one by one, her heart was like a knife, and she could only keep comforting herself, just hold on a little longer. However, the gunfire of the Gu'an army did not stop after a while like the gunshots of other Qing troops, but like the tide crashing on the shore, with a unique rhythm that never stopped. The two cannon-like things worked even more amazingly, forming a web of fire in front of the circle, mercilessly tearing everything they pointed at to shreds.

Song Jingshi didn't know that the delay in firing the two guns was not because the artillery of the Gu'an Army was not ready, but because they had not yet found the location of the commander. The Gu'an artillerymen, who had searched for a long time but had not found an important target, began to fire at the dense crowd. General Weiyuan's artillery that accompanied the infantry through countless battles has been decommissioned, and the infantry of the Gu'an Army is now equipped with a new Jinxi-1 75mm mountain cannon. A 75-millimeter caliber killing* has a killing radius of 15 meters, which means that all soft targets within a radius of 30 meters will die from the shock wave of the explosion. Scattered built-in destruction fragments can even fly up to 50 meters away. A small fragment, although not enough to split a human body in half, is enough to cause a fatal wound. Song Jingshi's troops, like other troops of this era, were so dense that the Gu'an army could blow up a huge gap in the charging crowd with a single shot, and hundreds of lives would be wiped out in an instant.

Enyuan, a classmate of Ji Lezhang'a, had just taken the opportunity of the expansion to become a company commander, and all he was thinking about was how to be rewarded for his meritorious service and become a battalion commander as soon as possible. As a result, on the first mission, he came out of the big oolong, and he was actually ambushed by the Qing army, which was really bloody. Although he killed a lot of enemies, he also hung more than a dozen colors in the company, thinking of the battalion commander's donkey face, Enyuan felt a headache. He just came out to test the defense of the Qing army, there is no need to fight to the death with the enemy with superior forces, it is too uneconomical to increase the casualties of his subordinates, and it is really true to retreat quickly while there are no deaths on his side now.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Qing army's offensive was dispersed by dense firepower, Enyuan concentrated his firepower and began to break through, wanting to rush back to the defense line of the Gu'an army. Although the breakthrough was successful, it was not easy to return to the defensive line, he had been walking for almost twenty miles, and how would he be able to walk back for a while and a half. If you give up the formation and run with your life, you can run back, but if you lose your equipment, lose a few more people, and lose back in embarrassment, he, the company commander, will be considered the end. So although the speed was very affected, Enyuan still maintained the battle formation, and moved back a little bit after fighting.

Song Jingshi killed more than 500 brothers and injured more than 200 people, how could he be willing to give up, and when he saw the Gu'an army retreating, he immediately chased after him like crazy.
