"Old Hao, the firearms of this officer and soldier are really sharp!"

Since the firearms of the officers and soldiers were fired, the people who filled the river about twenty paces away from the river bank fell one by one, but when they fell, the people behind were not frightened or dodged, but continued to rush forward.

Those who were killed by the fire hammer rolled directly into the river, and such a large volume of river filling is much more convenient than dirt bags.

At a distance of fifty paces, the trajectory of the bullets of such heavy firecrackers can be seen as a straight line, and the crowd of displaced people filling in the river is too dense, and the firecrackers behind the wooden fence are really empty.

But the homeless people were fearless, and some of them were even injured by the firecrackers, and when they were a little sluggish, they were pushed into the river by the people behind them, and the dirt bags behind them were smashed down immediately.

Maybe it was because the people were too crowded, and the killing of the fire guns made room for the front, and the degree of rotation and the corpses that fell into the river suddenly sped up a lot.

In the continuous wooden fence offensive, there must be at least 200 musketeers behind a platoon, and the first row of wooden fences and the back rows of wooden fences are at different distances, especially wide, and at least four rows of musketeers take turns to shoot.

With the kind of training of the Jiaozhou battalion, the soldiers do not have to work every day to survive, they are well fed, and in a very disciplined and regular life, they train, train, and train every day, and everyone's combat skills and movements have almost become an instinct of this person's body.

Therefore, in the contemporaneous European strong soldiers, they could only achieve uninterrupted firing in the formation of five or six platoons, and the soldiers in the Jiaozhou camp could generally sit in four rows and rotate uninterruptedly. Some elite soldiers can even rotate in three rows.

Such a density of firepower is shocking on any occasion, but the people on the opposite side. In the face of the most advanced weapons of this era, they did not even have a piece of cloth to cover their bodies, and many of them were barefoot. He was even wearing only a pair of torn pants, and the clothes on his body were all wrapped in dirt.

These scrawny homeless people are undaunted. With a frenzied look on his face, he rushed forward regardless of it, as if the bullets flying rapidly in front of him and the smoke of gunpowder did not exist.

The remaining twenty paces of the river are much more turbulent, but the earthy yellow surface of the river has turned purple, and the river does not stop, but how to rush. I can't dilute this purple either.

In the past few years in Henan, there have been almost successive disasters, father and son cannibalism, the whole village starved to death, and all kinds of hellish miserable scenes. Wang Sanpao is only twenty-three years old this year, but in his memory, he has not eaten a full meal in the past twenty-three years. This kind of living state is actually the most normal thing for them, the civilians of Nanyang Mansion. The drought over the years has squeezed out the people's strength in Henan, and now the general of the thief is stationed in Nanyang Mansion again, and the village has been washed at every turn. The thieves are invincible. As for who is true and who is fake, then see for yourself.

Wang Sanpao carried a wooden shovel. Desperately shoveling the soil, although there were constant gunshots and shouts from the side, he didn't care, just like crazy, he kept shoveling the soil. He silently told himself in his heart that he was a person who had escaped from Nanyang for thousands of miles, and he had even eaten the flesh of dead people, so what was there to be afraid of. Think about the promise of General Hao and General Tian before the war, if the enemy army is broken, the strikers can be turned into regular soldiers, regular soldiers, regular soldiers, regular soldiers, that is the priority distribution of food, not only can they be fed, but they can also take care of their families. When I think of this, my heart is hot, and I think of my mother and sister who fled with me, my sister is only twelve years old, and she is as thin as skin and bones, and she can't see a few grains of grain for three meals a day, only some melons and vegetables and other things, this thing is not hungry, and after eating it for half an hour, it will be all gone when she soaks in urine, and her stomach is croaking. My sister is a sensible person, today's dinner, she also deliberately allocated half of her meal to herself, staring straight at herself, Wang Sanpao knew what her sister meant, today she has to go into battle to fight, eat enough to survive, earn military merits, and have a future. Thinking of his sister's thin hands, Wang Sanpao gritted his teeth, dug up more and more frantically, and sang the horn of labor, but he didn't expect him to sing this, and the people around him also sang one after another, with Runing dialect, Henan dialect, Nanyang taste, and from time to time the taste of Shanxi old vinegar burst out, and the singing became more and more intense, as if to suppress the banging gunshot.

The momentum is like a rainbow, seeing death as home, this spirit is indeed terrifying, although the fire soldiers on the opposite side are a little wooden, but see those shouting and rushing up, as if forgetting life and death, one after another kept falling to the ground, the song is getting louder and louder, those thieves seem not to be on the battlefield at all, but stay in their own homes, unwillingly waving farm tools, working hard for their families and dreams. In front of this strange picture, the soldiers were still a little trembling in their hearts, some inserted the whole strip in the chamber of the gun and shot it directly, and some were in a hurry and forgot to load the primer.

However, since the fire was fired, the homeless people only took three steps forward, and then they were suppressed by the continuous fire guns, and after three rounds of fire, the homeless people were already beaten back five steps.

There seemed to be an invisible wall in front of them, no matter how they rushed, they would break their heads and bleed on this wall, and this invisible wall was still pushing towards the south step by step.

Such a scene was naturally seen by the coaches of both sides, Hao Shaoqi and Tian Jianxiu were looking for a high place nearby, and saw pieces of homeless people falling, both of them did not move at all, Hao Shaoqi closed his eyes slightly, and said:

"There were three shots from each gun, and it is estimated that by the sixth or seventh time, there should be a pause, a break from the fire, or the barrel will be hot." The sound of the firecracker did not stop, Hao Shaoqi had been closing his eyes and calculating, after almost fifteen shots, there was indeed a pause, and Hao Shaoqi opened his eyes with a solemn face. Spoken:

"Who made the land for them with these officers and soldiers, and they are so powerful."

Tian Jianxiu looked at the scene below, laughed hehehe, and said quite proudly:

"No matter how powerful. I can't resist our people rushing like this, Lao Hao, look at it. It's already ashore. ”

There was no sympathy for these former strikers in their words. On the contrary, he succeeded in his own strategy, and he was very proud.

It's just that Hao Shaoqi and Tian Jianxiu themselves didn't expect that the two of them unconsciously changed the title of "official dog" to "officers and soldiers", which obviously shows how much they attach importance to this Shandong soldier and horse.

In addition to providing uninterrupted fire suppression, the efficient rotation of the Jiaozhou battalion firearms also has a disadvantage, that is, the time for the gun to heat is also about the same. Nearly a thousand guns stopped firing at about the same time, and if it was the kind of rotation of five or six rows, because sufficient intervals were guaranteed, there would be no problem.

The displaced people no longer care about filling in the river, these distances, directly wading across the river, swarming towards the side of the wooden fence, mixed with these displaced people, breaking into the sergeants, but there is also a bad place, just now by the dense firepower. I pressed back for a distance, and now I was rushing too hard, and there was no way to take out a bow and arrow or a firearm to shoot, so I could only passively follow the crowd and rush forward.

Wang Sanpao was already close to madness, he rushed to the shore barefoot, he waved a wooden stick, as if his whole body had inexhaustible strength, and the wooden fence was twenty paces ago. Look at it at your fingertips. By the time those wooden fences are removed, the firecrackers behind them will not be worth mentioning. Military exploits. Full of food, as if it is all in front of you. Wang Sanpao seemed to see his sister holding a big bowl of rice and smiling at him, well, my sister is not small, when the world is beaten down by our king, I must find a family for my sister. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Hit Shandong, eat pigs and sheep!!! Wang Sanpao seemed to have spasmed, and roared hoarsely: "Fight to Shandong, eat pigs and sheep!!! This wave seems to be unstoppable.

At this moment, some sharp-eyed people could see that in the gap between the wooden fences, there was a cannon muzzle that was not too thick, and the entire wooden fence, almost twenty paces apart, there was a small cannon like this.

"Boom" "Boom" ......

The sound of continuous explosions, the sound of artillery firing was many times louder than that of firecrackers, and when it was fired, it was like a muffled thunder, especially at such a close distance.

As soon as many homeless people set foot on the north shore, they were shocked by this sudden loud noise, and many of them were so frightened that they couldn't run immediately, and just stood there, while the people behind them were still pushing, but this scene was only for a moment, and it would not cause any chaos.

Subway sand and lead particles burst out from the muzzle of the cannon, turning the wooden fence within twenty paces of the river into an area of a steel storm.

This is the first time that the Jiaozhou battalion has used shotguns, in the front of the first row of wooden fences, there are a total of fifteen two-pounder guns, all of which are loaded with iron sand and lead particles, the two-pounder guns are not powerful enough, and the shotguns are not far away, but within this twenty paces distance, high-flying metal fragments and particles symbolize death.

Rushing to the shore, the dense crowd of homeless people, after the loud noise, seemed to be swung by a huge scythe out of thin air, and instantly became empty.

The homeless people at the front were beaten like sieves by the high-flying shotguns, and some were directly shattered, and they were almost cut off from life within twenty steps.

The smoke of the gunpowder firing had not yet cleared, and the artillery fire was filled with the so-called "battlefield fog" within twenty paces, and it was impossible to see clearly from that direction.

But at this moment after the sound of the cannon, the whole battlefield was quiet, only the musketeers behind the wooden fence were still hurriedly cooling their guns, and there was a wooden barrel behind each vertical row, in which a few pieces of wet cloth were thrown, and the musketeers took this wet cloth and wiped it on the chamber of the gun.

The damp cloth rubbed on the chamber of the gun, sizzling, and even white gas came out, and some were accidentally burned by the chamber of the gun, and screamed in pain.

Even the firearms commanders among the musketeers couldn't see the surroundings clearly, but shouted hoarsely at the soldiers to cool down their guns and return to their original positions as soon as possible.

The sun was already about to set, and a breeze blew up, and the smoke quickly dispersed. Between the wooden fence and the river bank, no, the distance between the wooden fence and the 6 places where the land was filled in, forty paces. There was nothing but corpses, and the river slowed down to the part that had been filled.

Standing on it, the displaced people were unconscious. Looking blankly at the wooden fence opposite, the entire battlefield was unusually quiet. No one was clamoring anymore, they were all staring at the shore and the wooden fence, but no one dared to move a single bit.

The ground fire soldiers behind the wooden fence did not return to their positions, and the artillery also had to be loaded, but no one dared to step forward among the displaced people, even the soldiers mixed in with them, who knows what means were not used behind the wooden fence on the opposite side.

In the pile of corpses in front of the wooden fence, several people struggled to crawl out from underneath. Almost all of these people turned red all over their bodies, and the whole person seemed to be bloody. Wang Sanpao was lucky, or unlucky, he was squirming on the ground, the cannon just now, the cannon was too scattered, and it happened to hit his thigh, he was already standing upright, he couldn't walk, but his upper body was not much of a problem. He crawled slowly on the ground, his fingers clutching the dirt as if he were going to turn it over. His eyelids grew heavier and colder, but his eyes remained fixed on the wooden fence, and he crawled towards it with determination, and a red drag mark on the ground grew longer and longer...... If someone is standing next to him. You'll hear him muttering something similar to his mother's. or a sister's note.

They didn't seem to realize that there were only a few of them on the battlefield between dozens of paces. They lowered their heads and picked up their weapons, some of them got their swords, while others just touched a stone and stumbled towards the wooden fence.

You can hear "Ho... The shouting, perhaps the voices of these people were hoarse, but they were still shouting and charging, and they staggered to the ground.

On both sides of the battlefield, everyone held their breath and looked at them calmly, many of the fire soldiers in the Jiaozhou battalion had already been loaded, but maybe they were infected by something, and they didn't fire, but watched these people rush to the wooden fence, and before they could make any moves, from the gap in the wooden fence, several spears stabbed out, and then quickly retracted.

In the middle of this stretch, the last few intruding soldiers or homeless people were pierced and fell softly in front of the wooden fence, and one of the homeless people grabbed the root and foot of the wooden fence with his hand before he died. No one will remember whether he was called Wang Sanpao or Chen Goudan.

"Zhang Shi, pass my order, shell the drums, continue to storm the enemy camp, supervise the team to follow, retreat and slash!!"

After recovering from the scene of the last few people's charge, Tian Jianxiu had been watching the battle for a long time, but he was a little anxious, and he was about to break through the opponent's defense, but he returned in vain, and this time the cannon fodder charge of the displaced people was led by him, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in front of Hao Shaoqi, not to mention that Hao Shaoqi also raised opposing opinions.

He shouted angrily to the pro-soldier who received the order, hesitated a little, and ran down the horse.

"Come back! Don't go! ”

Hao Shaoqi shouted behind him, in the camp, Hao Shaoqi's status was higher than Tian Jianxiu's, even Tian Jianxiu's own personal soldiers had to obey the order, and the stone hurriedly stopped the horses.

Tian Jianxiu's face became even more ugly, and he was about to shout and reprimand, but Hao Shaoqi turned his head and said in a deep voice with a gloomy face:

"We can't rush anymore, the front team is almost scared, and if we rush again, we won't be able to suppress the troops."

The sun is gradually setting, the banks of the whirlpool are dark, if it is in peacetime, this scenery is really leisurely, but now it is a battlefield, the north shore is slaughtered, the south bank is miserable, and as soon as the madness and blood are gone, all that remains is panic and fear.

From this height, it can be clearly seen that although there is no follow-up reaction behind the wooden fence on the opposite side, and there is no cover-up, the displaced people on the reclaimed land are retreating uncontrollably, and although the displaced people are cannon fodder, they are very obedient to the rules of the camp.

Because the capacity of the intrusion is to have a bite to eat, and if you don't follow the rules, you won't have anything to eat, so the efficiency of the order to break into the camp is much higher than that of the officers and soldiers.

But at the moment, there was no order to retreat, and these homeless people were still in a commotion and retreated, and the soldiers who broke into the camp behind were also weak to stop them.

Tian Jianxiu knows that the core of the 40,000 strikers is only more than 8,000 people. The rest of these displaced people were formed from all over the country, and although they were also organized according to the usual way in the camp, they were organized according to their fellow villagers and other relations. Faintly, there is a division of oneself, and it is not completely controllable.

If it is pressed, such an extreme situation. Anything is possible, although the bullet pressure is the bullet pressure down. But it must be a big loss.

Today's rash attack will already have a bad impact on himself, and if there is any more trouble, I am afraid that it will really be a disaster, Tian Jianxiu raised his hand, opened his mouth to drink the order, but hesitated for a long time, and finally said weakly:

"Go according to General Hao's orders! Collect the troops! ”

After he finished speaking, Zhang Shi hurriedly beat his horse and ran down......

The order office is not too far from the river. The gong of "Dangdang" sounded soon, this is Mingjin retreating, as soon as he heard this, the brigade of displaced people who were already a little chaotic on the bank of the river rushed to retreat to the back as if they were amnesty, and they could also see the shouting on the opposite side.

The firecrackers behind the wooden fence at the officer and soldier began to move, it seemed that they were taking turns to rest, but they had no intention of chasing them out, Tian Jianxiu looked at the wooden fence, and his heart was secretly cold.

Muskets, cannons, spears. From long-range weapons to hand-to-hand combat, this layer of wooden fence fortifications is really murderous, and Hao Shaoqi's sentence is waiting for us to attack, which is really true when I think about it.

But the other party is so tough, how to do it at night, what to do if the other party attacks at night when camping on the south bank, Tian Jianxiu is really a little embarrassed. But I can go through the frustration of the party. It's really hard to do anything, so I have to turn my head and ask Hao Shaoqi beside me. Hao Shaoqi's expression did not change, but he said lightly:

"I'm not afraid at night, I just arranged the horse team cavalry to the front of the camp, if the other party attacks at night, the horse team scatters and rushes, his firearms may not be as powerful as Fang Cai, don't think about it, wait for King Chuang and Cao Cao to come tomorrow and then discuss."

After speaking, Hao Shaoqi first beat the horse and ran down, Tian Jianxiu sighed listlessly there, and followed behind the horse, today's battle is really embarrassing.

The soldiers who broke into the army stumbled and were stabbed to death by spears, and Li Meng and the generals of the Jiaozhou battalion at the top of the slope were also very quiet, even Chen Liu, who had always been very arrogant, was silent, and only after a while sighed there, and said softly:

"There are heroes among the thieves......"

Li Meng had been holding the clairvoyant mirror to observe the opposite formation, and when he heard Chen Liu's words, he put down the clairvoyant mirror and said in a sullen voice:

"It's our mortal enemy, we are officers and soldiers, they are thieves, they call us official dogs, we call them thieves, officials and thieves meet each other, you live and die. The two people's answers to each other have nothing to do with each other at all, but Li Meng was quite helpless when he said this, Chen Liu's emotion came and went quickly, he patted his hands on each other, and said excitedly:

"Fighting with such soldiers and horses, this can be a good kill, marshal, the last general will go to sort out the camp first, and arrange the defense of the camp tonight."

reported to Li Meng, after getting permission, humming a little song and walking down the slope by himself, Chen Liu's character made Li Meng very envious, Wang Hai has always stood silently behind him, Wang Hai is such a big young man, if it is in peacetime, it must be a young man who has just married and started a family, if it is in Li Meng's modern age, he should still be studying in college, but now Wang Hai is a general who has experienced killing, look at Wang Hai and Chen Liu, for a while, Li Meng is indeed a little emotional:

"Looking at the current scene, I always feel that in the future, I will be scolded by others, or I will be scolded for being a beast, or I will be scolded for being cruel and cold-blooded, and maybe I will say that I am on the side of the reactionary forces, suppressing the peasant uprising, and my hands are stained with the blood of the people......"

Li Meng's last few words were quite vague, Wang Hai didn't hear them clearly, he stood behind him, and naturally couldn't see the self-deprecating expression on Li Meng's face, but Wang Hai still said loudly from the perspective of a personal guard:

"The marshal led the army of the imperial court, suppressed the thieves and quelled the chaos, and was upright, the people of the world will only praise it, and the history books will be full of good reputation in the future, so why is it a sin."

Wang Hai also spoke in a literary manner, which is also often dealing with Zhou Yang and these people, how many books he read, Li Meng listened to it interestingly, but it was also relieved, he smiled and did not continue, Li Meng watched movies and television in modern times, and often saw the so-called rebel army being bloodily suppressed by officers and soldiers.

The officers and men of the rebel army were all tall and impassioned, and the officers and soldiers were all vicious-looking. Behaved obscenely villain.

Li Meng still remembers watching "Two Heroes" in the open-air cinema when he was a child, and I don't know why his impression of this fragment in his memory became so clear after coming to this era.

Li Meng still remembered that he wanted to be a righteous army at that time, so that he could teach those surrendered officials and Daming officers and soldiers who were like fat pigs. Who would have thought that the situation was magical, but today it was him who killed those rebel soldiers and civilians.

"This era is not good, you can only kill people!"

This night. It was quiet on both sides, almost an hour later. There was a flag-waving envoy on the side of the camp, asking to take back the corpse, the corpse was piled up in front of the battle, which not only affected morale, but also was likely to become an obstacle to the second attack, and Li Meng naturally had no opinion on this side.

Piled up corpses, after decomposing in such weather, there will be a lot of problems. Water sources and epidemics are troubles, but when the other party collects the corpse, it is necessary to be on strict guard.

This time, a large number of displaced people also came, but they were all cautious and did not dare to make any rash moves. The cleanup was quite thorough, and even the bodies in the river were recovered.

After all the cleaning was done, some people took pickaxes and shovels to dig some shallow ditches in the land that had been filled in the river during the day, so that the river could pass through. The floating soil is washed away faster.

Originally, this temporary pad land, after this night, was almost washed and flooded by the river, if it was left like this, it was likely to become a pedal for the opponent's night attack, digging a ditch, the land would disappear faster, and it would form an obstacle in the water.

The Jiaozhou battalion was resigned to all this. This immovable and calm attitude. made Tian Jianxiu and Hao Shaoqi on the opposite side even more bottomless in their hearts, and always felt that there was something mysterious about the other party. But I don't understand.

All of this can only wait for Li Zicheng and Hao Shaoqidi to come tomorrow, and then use the mountain to press the eggs, and then teach the other party a lesson.

Li Meng's tent is about 500 steps behind the top of the slope, and the proclamations of Shandong and Nanzhili have always been sent to him uninterruptedly, although he led the army to the battle, although Li Meng is now the identity of the chief military officer, but what he has done is not only this general general.

At present, his duties are almost all those of the commander-in-chief of Shandong, the governor, the political envoy, and perhaps the salt transport envoy, and his energy and attention cannot be just focused on this battle.

There are a few things that Li Meng is more interested in talking about in the local newspapers, including chasing and suppressing Zhang Xianzhong's troops and horses in Huguang and Nanyang, and dividing the troops a few days ago, of which 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion will rush back to Beijing to defend them, which should be the aftermath of the battle of Songshan, and the troops in Jiliao towns are empty, so they can only be drawn from the official army of the thief land.

And the general with the 20,000 soldiers is a eunuch, this eunuch is Li Meng's acquaintance, Liu Yuanbin, the former eunuch of the Shandong Supervisory Army who was transferred back to the Beijing Division, I didn't expect that this eunuch's connections in the Beijing Division were so deep, and after being transferred back, he was actually given such authority.

There is a note from Zhou Yang below, saying that if there is no accident, Liu Yuanbin will return to Beijing this time, I am afraid that he will replace Cao Huachun as the eunuch of the commander's Beijing battalion, and Cao Huachun has been out of power for a long time.

During his stay in Shandong, Liu Yuanbin was so immobilized by Li Meng that he didn't know if he would be angry and make trouble for himself because of this.

But this worry is just a small worry for Li Meng, at present, the only soldiers and horses in the north that can be relied on are the Jiaozhou battalion in Shandong, although the emperor and the ministers of the court are confused, but they are not stupid, and they understand the trade-off of interests very well.

The second thing came from Dengzhou, which was a report from Yang Si, the commander of the Xinyang Water Battalion, which said that since guarding the sea area of Dengzhou, according to the orders of the marshal, the sea surface was blocked, and the Liaozhen Jinzhou was closely monitored, as well as the movements of North Korea, but they were still too peaceful and there was nothing to do.

Along with this letter, there is also a secret letter from the Shandong Salt Gang, which also says Xinyang Water Camp, which mentions that when Xinyang Water Camp first arrived in Dengzhou, it would kill people every day, and more than 300 people have been beheaded so far.

This surprised Li Meng a little, Shandong is where his base is located, and it may make the local people complain too much, why do they kill people so much.

As a result, what I said below is more interesting, the one who killed the murderer was now the deputy commander of the Xinyang Water Battalion, Dunglas was also an experienced mercenary, and in this water camp full of bandits and pirates, he was naturally promoted very quickly. When he went to the ground, he was the captain of the 100-man team, and he was promoted according to merit, and he was already one of the deputy commanders.

Seeing this, Li Meng also felt that this Dunglas was really reckless. relied on being his own slave, and he was so ignorant of the height of the sky in the army.

And Li Meng also has some other opinions, thinking that you Dunglas is a foreigner. Why kill the Han people, no one gives you this right. But after seeing it, Li Meng smiled.

Shandong Yanbang agents wrote quite carefully, Dengzhou capital city and several small wharves nearby, most of the fishermen and sailors who came in and out were bald and wrapped in turbans, so the advantage was that when they went to Liaodong to fish or do business, they could also say that they were Han people under the rule of the Tartars.

Fishermen work hard to support their families. There is no concept of Chinese barbarians, and it is the highest pursuit to be able to fish peacefully, these fishermen are poor, and the people in Xinyang Water Camp are bound by military discipline first, and secondly, they can't catch any oil and water, and they never pay much attention to these fishermen, and they come and go at will.

Who would have thought that when Dunglas was on patrol at one point, he was strange, and some fishermen who came ashore were thick. There is obviously the demeanor of a warrior in his demeanor and actions, and although his hands are full of calluses, the position of the thick calluses is at the tiger's mouth and a few knuckles.

The water camp pirates may not have been able to pay attention to these details, and even if they did, they would not have felt that anything was wrong, but Dunglas told the fishermen to remove their headscarves.

This time, I saw that there was a problem, and there was obviously a whiter area at the back of the head than the others. Great tomorrow. Except for the monks, everyone else is tied with a crown. If you have a bald head, naturally all the heads are shaved clean, exposed to the scorching sun, and the color of the whole head is about the same.

There is only one type of white, that is, the braid of the Manchu Tartars, the so-called "money rat tail", the back of the head is a palm-sized place, a small braid, and the rest of the place is bald, and why the color is white, you can guess it. It must be a spy from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

These characters who were on the spot, seeing that they had revealed their traces, wanted to resist, and the Xinyang Water Camp was like wolves and tigers on the side, how to resist, they were immediately pressed to the ground.

Under severe torture, some Manchu secret agents in Dengzhou City were soon dug up, most of these people were from Liaodong military families, and they used their Han identity and the characteristics of Liao people in the area of Dengzhou Mansion to sneak in and find out information.

However, after repeated torture, the results were almost the same, these spies could not penetrate deep into the interior of Shandong, and they could not get close to the military camp, but the military law of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was harsh, and after they returned, what was waiting for them was to be punished by beheading, and they could only make up some information to deal with it.

But the Manchu Qing side is not stupid, these nonsense proclamations can't deceive people, so they have to send more people here to urge, the maritime defense of the Jiaozhou battalion is a sieve, originally Shandong was easy to enter, but this time it was seen by a foreigner that the flaw, except for bad luck, it seems that there is no other way to say.

Dengzhou Mansion City and the surrounding Haikou are all full of big ropes, local officials lead the way, and the soldiers of the armed salt and water battalions are completely overturned.

After the interrogation, all the people who were arrested originally wanted to be punished with hard labor, but who would have thought that at the insistence of Dunglas, all of them would be beheaded, and the reason of the Deng Yangren was that these spies were all betrayals, and the damage they had caused to the Shandong Army was greater than the damage caused in the war, and there was no reason to forgive them except beheading.

The next day, someone came to take the initiative to tell the whistleblower, saying that the so-and-so family was suspicious, and that the so-and-so family suddenly had relatives from other places to take refuge one day.

These suspicions, the Han people can't see anything, because they see every day, and Dunglass is a foreigner, and he always has a bystander attitude, so it is different.

After this result reached Jinan and the various state capitals, the civil officials of the general military shogunate, the ladies of the inner house, the head of the grange, and the captains of the armed salt were all terrified.

Thanks to the Jiaozhou Battalion Barracks, the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau and the Grange are all completely closed management, the Barracks and the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau are even more prohibited, and it is estimated that the other party will not spy on anything important, but Shandong is not a small place, and the large army will be mobilized to fight, but it will inevitably be seen by others.

It is not known whether the Manchu Tartars or any other force existed. How many people have infiltrated is still uncertain.

At the end of this secret letter, Huang Ping's request said that the inner account room had already drawn up a provision. The old lady also thinks that it is feasible, if Li Meng's side agrees, the officials and officials from all over the country, the armed salt ding, the branch of the Lingshan Commercial Bank and the Shandong Salt Gang. A joint land inventory will be conducted.

In particular, those key places such as Jiaozhou barracks, warehouses, docks, and workshops should be carefully investigated. After the inventory, in the places that can be affected by the Jiaozhou camp, the law of protecting the armor is implemented, and the village households guarantee each other to prevent outsiders from entering.

This letter is Li Meng's longest letter, and the only defeat suffered by the Manchu Qing in the past few years was the time when Li Meng beheaded 700 places in Qihe County, Shandong. According to the news from Li Meng, the Manchu Qing Dynasty judged that it should be the joint efforts of Shandong soldiers and horses and Nanzhili soldiers and horses.

Because I really can't believe that this record of 700 was achieved by Li Meng with more than 2,000 soldiers, after so many years of fighting, if the Ming official army has this combat power, it is really incredible.

They can only judge that Nan Zhili's army poured out of the nest to fight this volley near Jinan, and in order to strengthen Ming's morale, they deliberately created such a heroic figure.

This statement is a bit self-defeating. However, the current Prince of Rui Dolgon is under the Emperor Taiji in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a big man above 10,000 people, he encountered a small setback in his expedition, so he naturally had to find some reason to make up for it, and whoever dared to say anything would not be bored.

But this is just an explanation on the surface, and there must be many people who find it strange in private, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is now under the leadership of Huang Taiji. The military, political and civil affairs are more complete. This information is naturally more complete. A large number of spies and eyeliners naturally want to find out this weirdness.

Li Meng hoped that they would continue to deceive themselves, but he also knew that this was not realistic, so he had to strengthen the work of secrecy as much as possible.

After muttering for a long time, Li Meng picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the proclamation, handed it to the soldiers, and ordered him to set off that night, and be sure to expedite it with a fast horse and send it back to Jinan.

The soldiers left in a hurry, and it was late at night, and there were already military police patrolling the night and walking around knocking on the bang, and the sound of the bang was quieter and quieter.

Li Meng yawned, at the end of this day, he was indeed a little tired, arranged for his soldiers to put down the curtain of the military tent, and was just about to sleep in his clothes, but he heard intermittent singing floating in outside, the voice was very soft, Li Meng almost thought it was his hallucination, listening to this tune, it should be a folk song in Shaanxi, although he couldn't hear any lyrics, he felt that the tune was extremely pathetic, maybe it was from the opposite side.

This pathetic soft ballad and monotonous bangzi made Li Meng quickly fall asleep, and before going to bed, he repeated the words he had written in the newspaper.

"I'd rather kill by mistake than let go"

A dreamless night......

By noon the next day, the land in the middle of the whirlpool river had almost disappeared, and the river had become much clearer.

Because Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's army had already come to the other side, Li Meng woke up in the morning and was woken up by the noise on the opposite side, and this noisy sound lasted all morning, which was hundreds of thousands of people

Chen Liu and Tang Er, who were standing on the hillside, looked at the military situation on the opposite side and were dumbfounded, when had they seen this kind of hundreds of thousands of troops in front of them, no matter how they looked at it, they also felt that they could not see the edge, and the excitement that yesterday's sniping had just cultivated was dissipated by the oppression of the boundless power on the opposite side.

The firecrackers behind the wooden fence were all a little restless, and everyone thought that if there were so many people on the other side, if all of them rushed over, the firepower density like yesterday would be able to be stopped.

However, today's musketeers have made an improvement compared to yesterday, and everyone is wearing a damp cloth with water, which is used to cool down the chamber of the gun, so as to avoid the situation of yesterday when the chamber of the gun overheats and cannot be used for a short time.

In fact, the fortifications on the side of the officers and soldiers were adjusted because of the arrival of the opponent's soldiers, first the number of rows of the inverted triangular wooden fence was reduced by half, so that the space for the movement and arrangement of the firecrackers between the wooden fences was much larger, and at the same time, on the north side of the top of the slope, a large number of infantry cavalry had gathered.

The Jiaozhou battalion is ready to respond at any time, but although the momentum of the opposite side is big, but there is no rush to attack, a large number of horse teams have been arranged not far from the shore, if the Jiaozhou battalion wants to attack, this loose formation of a large number of horse teams scattered over, it is also a big trouble.

Hearing Tian Jianxiu and Hao Shaoqi's report, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, who were in the tent, were as plain as water, and they didn't see any fluctuations at all.

"Nearly three thousand? Didn't touch the wooden fence on the other side? ”

It was Xi's military general Liu Zongmin who opened his mouth to ask, but this question was already asked for the fourth time, and Tian Jianxiu replied with a gloomy face:

"It's almost 3,000, the firearms of the officers and soldiers are powerful, and it seems to be raining, and the brothers who fill the river can't take a step forward at all."

Asked here, Liu Zongmin was also silent, don't look at Luo Rucai, who has always been a bastard who doesn't care, but at this time, he was not ambiguous at all, and said coldly:

"Three thousand people died when they went up to fill the river, even if the old brothers went up, it wouldn't be much stronger than this, Brother Li, your sons are good at attacking cities, and my sons are still sloppy in field battles, or you can try again." Luo Rucai asked tentatively, Li Zicheng is the leader of the anti-army alliance in the world, so Luo Rucai calls him "big brother", since the alliance between the two families, Luo Rucai has always been "big brother" and "King Chuang" together and screamed together, Li Zicheng also smiled and called "Old Luo", but the generals of the camp never dared to lack the number of courtesies, and they all respectfully called King Chuang.

Seeing Cao Cao's frivolity, everyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, but most of Luo Rucai's subordinates were born in Shaanxi border soldiers, and they were strong and able to fight, which was a rare help, so they just endured.

"You try again" is to let the soldiers of the invading army go up to attack again, the two sides are originally coalition forces, and the spoils of war are equally divided, but this loss is not borne by one party alone, why let the invading army rush again.

Liu Fangliang frowned, took a step forward, but was grabbed by Gao Yigong on the side, shook his head, Li Zicheng didn't know if he saw the following movements, but turned his head and asked Liu Zongmin beside him:

"Zong Min, can you cut off the river, or use an earthen wall to pass it?"

"King Chuang, I've been to see that river, this river is not wide, if we build the wall, the officers and soldiers will push out the cannon and fight, Lao Hao, the fire gun on the official dog's side can hit a hundred steps!"

Hao Shaoqi nodded, the owner of the tent looked at each other, no one moved, and after a while, someone said:

"Why don't you wait for the news of Li Guo and Double Happiness!"

Everyone was speechless again, but Luo Rucai was a little angry by this atmosphere, and raised his voice there and said:

"This Guide Mansion and Shandong are not rich places, what to do to fight him, there is such a momentum now, let's go back to our hometown in Shaanxi, what do you want to do, why bother here!"

When Li Zicheng heard this, he frowned slightly, his movements were subtle, and no one saw it.

The two sides are facing each other like this, and there is no movement from each other......

"My Jiaozhou camp fortifications are like iron buckets, no matter which direction the thieves attack from, he is helpless, and the head to be touched is bleeding, and there is no movement for a long time, so he must not be able to come up with a way to attack!"

Li Meng was in the tent of the handsome, walking in front of the case and talking, suddenly he stopped his pace, and said categorically to the military general standing in the tent:

"Since they don't come, let's go over and fight, generals, the whole army will fight!!"
