That night, San'er and his sister had a full meal of bacon and rice, and the people around them swallowed their saliva, but they didn't dare to step forward when they saw San'er's bloody kitchen knife.

Just now, a splash wanted to grab San'er's food, and San'er slashed the other party's arm with a knife, and no one dared to step forward after that.

San'er divided the grain into two pockets, tied it to the waist of the two brothers and sisters, wrapped the bacon in cloth, and carried it in San'er's arms, so that he could sleep steadily.

After that, Fan Wei took these people to fight a lot of towns, and the team became bigger and bigger, and when the number of people exceeded 10,000, Fan Wei also listened to Li Qingyuan's words, divided the people into two battalions, and planned to abandon the car to protect the commander, but with the expansion of the size of the army, Fan Wei's heart also changed.

When the number of Fan Wei's team exceeded 50,000, he began to hesitate to fight Xuzhou, and when the number reached 100,000, Fan Wei finally made a decision! Lay down Xuzhou!

At this time, fifteen days had passed, and the Qing army had gathered 8,000 troops in Xuzhou, preparing for various defensive offensives.

After Li Qingyuan got the news, he shook his head and sighed, this guy is estimated to finish the game, but more than 100,000 people are enough to transfer the rest of the Qing army.

Shandong is almost sorted out, Li Qingyuan and Sanniang pretended to be husband and wife and went to Taihang, the time has entered April, and Taihang is almost ready, and all the plans to go back this time will be accelerated.

On the way, everyone was discussing the resurgence of the Qingshui Sect. However, Xuzhou is too far away from them, so this side is just a conversation after dinner, and then I heard that Qianlong has lined up 5,000 Beijing camps to the south, and the Mongolian Eight Banners have also sent 6,000 troops, and so on.

When Li Qingyuan heard that there were cavalry involved, he no longer worried about Fan Wei, because it was useless to worry, Fan Wei would definitely die this time, and if he encountered cavalry on the plain, the well-trained troops would have a headache, not to mention Fan Wei's peasant army.

As for the cavalry attacking the Shandong base area, Li Qingyuan was not worried, the mountain cavalry was useless, since he had given up Fan Wei's move, then Li Qingyuan had to speed up his layout.

The first thing he did when he returned to Taihang Mountain was to gather the battalion commanders, and during the time when Li Qingyuan left, Taihang also trained six or seven thousand new people, but Li Qingyuan was not there, so these recruits were still training.

The production of weapons was stable, and although 4,000 barrels were supported in Shandong, the equipment of the troops on this side was indeed not affected.

And a batch of smoothbore guns were also hoarded, Li Qingyuan saw this situation and decided to merge the battalions, the battalion commanders who followed him at the beginning were all promoted to regiment commanders this time, and the regiment on Li Qingyuan's side had artillery, so the number exceeded 1,000.

Unlike Shandong, Li Qingyuan gave these regiment commanders the right to expand their own army this time, that is, the shelf of the regiment's establishment division, and whoever recruits first will be the division commander first.

Because the troops here are all veterans who have been trained for a long time, not half recruits and half veterans on the Shandong side.

On one side, the enemy is not very strong for the time being, and the Qing army does not pay attention to this side, so the various departments still have time to train and fight.

This time, five regiments of more than 5,000 men were dispatched, three of which went to Luliang, and the remaining two went to Zhongtiao Mountain, and one of them found an opportunity to cross the Yellow River and establish a base in Funiu Mountain.

This regiment is for Wu Sanniang to fight the front station, and after this regiment successfully crosses the river, Li Qingyuan will let Sanniang go south to take charge of the affairs over there, and on the other hand, find a way to contact the White Lotus Sect.

In less than 10 days after his return, Li Qingyuan completed the reorganization of the troops, and in order not to affect the combat effectiveness of the various units, Li Qingyuan sent all the veterans, and the new recruits stayed on the side of Taihang Mountain to continue training.

When Li Qingyuan was busy here, Fan Wei was also scratching his head under the city of Xuzhou, and the high walls of Xuzhou City were too thick for one or two explosives bags to knock down.

In addition, after one or two failures, the Qing army also saw their intentions, and fired rockets as long as there was an explosive package approaching, and as a result, Fan Wei not only did not bomb Xuzhou City, but killed a lot of his own people.

The explosives package is not good, Fan Wei has to use the traditional siege method, in the face of a big city with perfect defense, these people have a fart, Fan Wei siege time is not as long as the time to agitate and flicker, in desperation, he is ready to surround the city and fight slowly!

Half a month has passed back and forth, and the Qing army has arrived in Shandong along the canal, but fortunately, Li Qingyuan has arranged for Shandong to deliver some news to Fanwei.

So when Fan Wei heard that the Qing army of more than 10,000 people was heading south, what he thought of was not to run quickly, but to plan to defeat the opponent's reinforcements and then take Xuzhou in one go!

Later, Fan Wei bought another 1,000 muskets from Shandong, plus captured bird guns and the like, barely equipped with twenty battalions of musketeers. Why twenty?

Although Fan Wei followed Li Qingyuan's example to form a musket battalion, Fan Wei felt that Li Qingyuan's pure musket was not safe, so he arranged shield soldiers and wolf milling soldiers in front of him as protection for musketeers.

In this way, there were only one hundred and fifty musketeers in one battalion, and these three thousand muskets were twenty battalions.

As his main force, this army has not been willing to use it, and this time he plans to take it all out and have a good touch with the Qing army.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp disdained to wait for the local green battalion, so the cavalry of the Mengbaqi gathered and the two sides went south together, and the supplies were supplemented with Cao transportation materials nearby, so there was no need for logistics.

After arriving in Shandong, this army did not stop at all, and immediately rushed towards Xuzhou.

Fan Wei also grinded his fists and prepared to give the Qing army a profound lesson, Fan Wei set up an army of 80,000 in Xuzhou fifty miles, divided into three battalions on the left, middle and right.

However, the Qing army did not bother to divide the troops at all, and planned to break through directly in the middle and break the enemy's will in one fell swoop, because the Qing army generals knew at a glance that the left and right sides were just joining in the fun, and the real main force of this bandit was still the one in the middle.

You don't need to look at anything else, you can see it just by looking at the opponent's formation, and the Chinese army barely listed the formation, and the two sides were simply scattered one by one.

The Qing army's side, with the cavalry as the lead, planned to follow up the infantry after the cavalry broke through, and the Chinese army on Fanwei's side did not move, and the left and right sides quickly pounced, intending to surround and eliminate the Qing army.

The two sides continued to approach, watching thousands of cavalry rushing, and the formation began to stir up before they could take over Fan Wei's side, but Fan Wei was not a fledgling anymore, and immediately sent a team of warlords to jump those who were in turmoil.

After the killing, the formation here was really much better, and after the Qing army entered one hundred and fifty steps, all units immediately began to release their guns, but the musket and pistol skills that could be reached at a range of more than 2,000 were too bad, and only dozens of Qing cavalry were defeated.
