After all, it is the time when the two armies are at war, and the so-called "soldiers are in danger and fierce battles," and no place on the battlefield is absolutely safe. Therefore, this herald's panicked report made the entire Chinese army tent nervous.

Liu Kongzhao, the sincere man in charge, barely stabilized his mind and reprimanded: "What are you panicking about? What's wrong? Tell me clearly! ”

The herald took a few breaths, but he still didn't calm down, and stammered back, "Go back...... Back to adults...... Find...... Detective ...... Northwest ...... One team...... I'm rushing over...... The number of people is about ...... About two thousand ...... Two thousand people ......"

Although this man's mouth is not good, he can be regarded as making his words clear, and the meaning is also very clear - a team of 2,000 people is rushing to Fuzhou from the northwest.

Liu Kongzhao's first reaction was that the White Lotus Sect bandits had killed again, but he immediately denied his thoughts, and asked confirmatively: "Don't mess around, explain it." Did you see the team's clothing and flag? Where the hell did they come from? ”

The herald came in such a hurry that he could not fully see the characteristics of the comer, so he could only say, "They ...... It seems like...... Not...... I didn't have any flags, and the clothes I was wearing were ...... It's also miscellaneous, anyway, it shouldn't be the official army of the imperial court......"

After listening to such a report, Liu Kongzhao had already determined in his heart: that army, if nothing else, should be the strange soldiers of the White Lotus Sect, and I don't know if they broke through the defense line of the official army, or if they had already been ambushed locally in advance, so they broke through to the vicinity of the base camp of the official army like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

Ji Qingwen listened to this kind of information on the sidelines, and he was also very puzzled in his heart.

You must know that before the arrival of Liu Kongzhao and Han Zanzhou, the military affairs of Fujian counterinsurgency were actually presided over by him. According to the previous battle situation, the main force of the White Lotus Sect has now moved to the area north of Ningde, and it is at least two or three hundred miles away from Fuzhou. Suddenly appeared here, could it be that it fell from the sky or came out of the ground?

When Ji Qingwen was still surprised, he heard that Liu Kongzhao had already issued a military order: "The whole army listens to the order and goes out to meet the enemy!" ”

"Slow!" Ji Qingwen immediately stopped, "Lord Liu, now that the situation is unclear, we must mobilize the whole army, which will inevitably shake the morale of the army." I don't think the preface of the herald doesn't match the afterword, maybe it's not really the White Lotus Sect bandits who are attacking ......."

Liu Kongzhao was afraid that the White Lotus Sect would rob the big tent of the Chinese army, so he hurriedly said: "What if it is?" Ji-sama, you can't go wrong with early preparation. ”

Ji Qingwen shook his head, still insisting on his opinion: "No, I don't think there is any need to gather the whole army. Lord Liu, the number of people who listened to me and listened to the White Lotus Sect is only more than 2,000 people, I think that as long as the whole army of the 'Ming Wu Army' under my command is dispatched, and you choose 2,000 elite soldiers to flank and escort, you should be able to be invincible." ”

As soon as he heard that Ji Qingwen was going to dispatch the "Ming Wu Army", Liu Kongzhao suddenly felt relieved.

After all, in Nanjing City, the "Ming Wu Army" Li Ke's strength exceeded that of the White Lotus Sect bandits more than ten times his own, and Liu Kongzhao saw such a scene with his own eyes. Therefore, as long as Ji Qingwen can make a move, then it is absolutely impossible for the White Lotus Sect bandits with a mere 2,000 people to defeat the official army.

So Liu Kongzhao said with a smile on his face: "Okay, good." Just do what Ji-sama wants! ”

Ji Qingwen had not yet recovered from the anger of Liu Kongzhao who denied his combat strategy, so he glanced at Liu Kongzhao and said, "Lord Liu, the soldiers of the 'Ming Wu Army' under this official can be mobilized now, I don't know when those soldiers and horses in your mouth will be able to act?" ”

After saying that, Ji Qingwen turned around and strode towards the door of the Chinese army's big tent.

Liu Kongzhao looked at Ji Qingwen's arrogant back, and couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, but now that the White Lotus Sect bandits had killed Zuojin, they couldn't help but rely on Ji Qingwen's strength to get through this crisis.

So Liu Kongzhao could only endure this breath for the time being, and followed out of the big tent of the Chinese army, shouting that he would gather the army and go to the northwest to quell the rebellion.

The military discipline of the "Ming Wu Army" under Ji Qingwen is extremely strict, and they are ready to attack and fight at all times, as long as Ji Qingwen gives an order, they can enter the battle.

But Ji Qingwen was not in a hurry, and only let Yang Zhan, Huang Degong, and Meng Hong lead the heavily armed "Ming Wu Army" brothers to line up outside the camp, but instead of going to the northwest to meet the enemy, he asked Li Yuanyin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to go over and run in person, and he must find out the true identity of the army in front of him - he still refuses to believe that the White Lotus Sect that he focuses on has reached this point, and he will still have the ability to pull up a team of 2,000 people and go deep into the inner line to sneak attack the base camp of the official army.

Liu Kongzhao saw that Ji Qingwen was not moving, so he urged tentatively: "Lord Ji, I have already gathered the official army, I don't know if my lord wants to fight according to the camp?" I'm afraid that this camp is not strict and strong, I'm afraid it is not enough to rely on! I think it's better to go out of the camp and fight, and it's the right way to keep the enemy out. ”

Ji Qingwen had a calm face, neither agreed nor vetoed, let alone said a word.

Sure enough, as Ji Qingwen expected, Li Yuanyin, who was sent out by him, rode back to the place after just a cup of tea, and replied: "Lord Ji, the last general has gone to see it, and the person who came is not a bandit from the White Lotus Sect. ”

Li Yuanyin is a person who does things safely, and the information he personally went to find out is naturally extremely reliable and credible.

So Ji Qingwen nodded: "Hard work Li commanded." Since he is not a White Lotus Sect bandit, I wonder if Commander Li has asked who it is? ”

Li Yuanyin replied: "The last general has checked their survey talisman, and it should be the Sichuan Tusi soldiers and horses who were ordered to come to reinforce the bandits." It's not the White Lotus bandits. ”

"Impossible!" Liu Kongzhao interjected loudly, "If they are the soldiers and horses reinforced by the Sichuan Tusi, why don't they come over in advance to say hello?" What's more, I've got sentry posts all around, so I won't be unaware of their movements. I look at this centaur, it is very likely that the White Lotus Sect is pretending, Lord Ji should hurry up and meet the enemy! ”

Although Liu Kongzhao took a firm position, the "Ming Wujun" did not listen to his orders, and no matter how much Liu Bowen's descendants shouted, jumped up and down, they only regarded him as an old monkey who had lost his heart and gone crazy.

At this juncture, the legendary 2,000 Sichuan Tusi soldiers and horses had already advanced to a place about 200 steps outside the camp.

I saw that although this army was all infantry, when it marched, it was in a tight formation, with strict military appearance and strict military discipline, and its temperament was different from that of other armies.

After Ji Qingwen traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he fought with strong enemies such as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Huang Taiji, and also dealt with Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and other fierce men in the late Ming Dynasty, and he still saw some of the world.

Therefore, at a glance, he knew that this army should not be underestimated, so he asked Huang Degong to fetch a telescope and look carefully at that army from a distance.

However, I saw that the dress of the soldiers in this army was not only different from the rabble of the White Lotus Sect, but also different from the miscellaneous armies of the local guards of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also very different from the elite troops such as the Jingshi Battalion, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the Tianxiong Army.

I saw that the armor they wore was made of leather and not a piece of copper and iron, and although I don't know how good it was, it was much lighter. The weapons in their hands were even more different, none of them were holding a white wooden pole more than two feet long, and a short sword with an inch long was installed at the tip of the wooden pole.

"White pole soldiers!" Ji Qingwen shouted.

These three words, he has seen more than once in the history books of later generations, although he does not know what great specific achievements this army has, but he also knows that the white pole soldiers are one of the few armies in the history of the late Ming Dynasty that can confront the elite Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.

And this Sichuan Tusi soldiers and horses, known as the "white pole soldiers", were already famous in the late Ming Dynasty, and even Liu Kongzhao couldn't help but admire: "I have long received the will of the saint, saying that it is to recruit the Sichuan army to Fujian to quell the rebellion, but I didn't expect that it was the 'white pole soldiers' of the Shi Yan Qin family who were summoned!" The saint is really wise, and with the help of the white pole soldiers, why worry that the White Lotus Sect will not die? ”
