Chapter 6 Strikes West

"Tang Yougeng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info. Tang Dynasty.. Tang Zongbing. Lang Xuewu was also taken aback, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he blurted out when he thought of something: "Maybe it was really Mr. Tang who robbed people, I heard that Mr. Tang went out with his men and horses before nightfall last night, and when he came back, he didn't see him, it seems that the number of people is also one battalion less, and he didn't participate in the siege at night." ”

Hearing Lang Xuewu's words, Wang Huzi and the others did not doubt it, and they all had a thought, Shi Dakai was even more dangerous.

Tang Yougeng was originally from Daguan County, Yunnan Province, and served as Yu Ding (a juvenile soldier) in the Daguan guerrilla battalion when he was a teenager.

Because his father took revenge and committed his life, he joined the peasant army of Lan Dashun at the age of 16, and then defected to the Qing army in Syria, and then desperately suppressed Li and Lan Yijun, and spared no effort to strangle the rebels, so he was very appreciated by the Qing army, and was promoted to the general army of Chongqing Town soon.

This person fought with Shi Dakai's Middle Route Army many times in the future, and formed hatred for each other, and when the Taiping army attacked the city, he used the people as meat shields, so he was nicknamed Tang Butcher. The two sides can be described as bitter and bitter, and if this stone falls into his hands, there will be no good fruit to eat.

Thinking of this, everyone was inevitably on fire, and they couldn't wait to rescue Shi Dakai, so they chased along the road for a while, and two fast horses that reported the news came after them halfway through, and they were designed by everyone to take down.

Fortunately, I met it here, otherwise I was afraid that it would alarm the Qing army in front of me.

Having two fast horses, the king's beard had his men change into messengers' clothes, and then sent them to the front to reconnoitre, and one of them rode back before it was nearly dark.

"Master Shuai, there is a small town twenty miles away, and the Qing army of the Tang Butcher is escorting His Royal Highness Chitose and the prime minister and several military marshals to rest in the town."

Wang Huzi sent the scouts away, and then summoned the few remaining brigade commanders to gather together to discuss something. This time, Wang Huzi did not call Yang Dongfang, so at this time, Yang Hui gathered a few subordinates who were loyal to him.

A fat man with a figure similar to a Western dwarf, of course, except for the fact that he did not have that kind of drunkard-like stubble on his face, biting a grass in his mouth and chewing, he muttered quietly with small eyes: "Big brother, what are they discussing, why do they look in our direction from time to time, why don't you invite you there." ”

"Hmph, there must be no good thing." A bronze-eyed strong man with no hair on his head whispered indignantly: "Boss, I think eighty percent of the king's beard is going to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and this pseudo-Han banner man is worthless to sacrifice the flag." ”

Before the bald head finished speaking, Lang Xuewu's legs on the side were scared, especially at this time, Wang Huzi threw a cute smile on this side, and he felt trembling.

"Okay, monk, don't scare him, now we are all brothers and sisters." Yang Dongfang guessed that Wang Huzi's people had already chased Shi Dakai, and looked at the sky, it was likely that the Qing army in front of him would stay overnight, and they would immediately start saving people after dark.

In fact, whether to kill Lang Xuewu Yang Dongfang still has a lot of consideration, he still can't kill it, because he thought that the question is what to do after saving Shi Dakai, strictly speaking, whether Shi Dakai is saved or not, he will have to part ways with these Chinese troops tonight, and he will develop in another place, so it doesn't matter whether he offends Wang Dakai or not.

"Lang Xuewu, don't worry, I said that if I don't kill you, then no one will want to kill you." Suddenly, Yang Dongfang patted Lang Xuewu, his eyes were as focused as knives:

"But you also have to recognize the situation clearly, don't think about running away and playing tricks, you should know what the few voices you shouted last night mean, I think the Qing court will not forgive you, even if you are a banner person, you will still be beheaded, after all, it is Luo Bingzhang who is now in charge of Sichuan, not General Chengdu."

The general of Chengdu has always been held by the Manchu bannerman, if the power is in his hands, he may bypass Lang Xuewu, who is also a bannerman, but Luo Bingzhang's words are almost impossible, because Luo Bingzhang's hands are a little black, he trained Sichuan, and the local officials dared to move, not to mention a banner soldier who committed a crime.

Lang Xuewu had also heard of Luo Bingzhang's name a long time ago, so he was naturally afraid, and he was a little desperate when he thought about it, and suddenly felt that he was like standing on a thief ship since last night, and he couldn't get off this time, of course, this is not the key, the key is that the thief ship can't accommodate him, and there is always the possibility of being thrown into the water and drowned.

"Master! You must save me, now you are my living bodhisattva. Lang Xuewu could only pin his hopes on Yang Dongfang.

Yang Dongfang is very satisfied with this, no matter whether Lang Xuewu is sincere or fake, as long as he surrenders, there will be time to train in the future.

Soon Wang Huzi and the others finished the meeting, and then called Yang Dongfang over, and said the resolution straightforwardly, that tone was a little undoubted, and Wang Bayi's rolling posture was overwhelming.

Although I had expected that there would be no good things, I didn't expect it to be so bad, it turned out that Wang Huzi and others really decided to attack the Qing army in the town after dark, and Yang Dongfang's pawn took the lead in attacking as the vanguard to attract the Qing army, and then Wang Huzi and others took the opportunity to rescue Shi Dakai from the other side.

"Isn't this sending us to death? The boss Wang beard is too unrighteous, the brigade commander stayed in the inner camp as a death squad, and now let us be a death squad, which is clearly trying to kill people with a knife and clear all the descendants of Chitose. ”

"Monk Hugh wants to talk nonsense!" Of course, Yang Dongfang knew that Wang Huzi and the others were not well-intentioned, but what could he do, now he was just a pawn commander, two levels behind the division commander, and there was no reason to oppose it at all, if he didn't agree now, he would be killed immediately.

But that's okay, originally there were only about 20 people left in Yang Dongfang's pawn, Wang Huzi sent Yang Dongfang to death with peace of mind, and then sent more than 30 people to enrich him, these 30 or so people were all stragglers who were crippled and deprived of the officer's control, so they were quickly controlled by Yang Dongfang.

Wang Huzi thought that Yang Dongfang was Shi Dakai's descendant, and he would definitely rescue Shi Dakai wholeheartedly, so he would work hard at any cost, and at the same time, this was also Shi Dakai's exemplary style, and he would rush to the forefront in every battle.

But where did he think that Yang Dongfang was not Yang Dongfang, and he had already meant to leave, and now that he has someone and has no restraint, it is exactly what he wants, but he can't save Shi Dakai or can't see him, these people under his hands will not give up, and they can't take them away at all.

If you go alone, forget it, it's hard to live alone in this troubled world.

Moments before dark, he finally arrived at the outskirts of the town, rested for a while, determined the situation in the town, and estimated the distance of the Qing army to follow behind, Wang Huzi decided to start attacking in half an hour.

At that time, it was dark, and the Qing army in the town began to have dinner, and the vigilance must be lax, and the chasing troops were fifteen miles away, and the battle should be quickly resolved, and then evacuated, so he instructed Yang Dongfang to make the momentum bigger and attack a little fiercer, so as to attract the most Qing troops, cause the emptiness in the north, and rescue Shi Dakai as quickly as possible.

Yang Dongfang naturally nodded in agreement, without half a minute of procrastination, and thought, I will let you see how big the momentum is later.

Yang Dongfang and his fifty-odd people quickly entered the intended direction of attack, and when he was resting, he gathered everyone in a bamboo forest, and then took out the weapons stored in the inner camp and distributed them to everyone.

These weapons were not only a few knives, arrows, bows and spears, but also twenty flintlock pistols and a dozen 'grenades', as well as a number of projectiles of gunpowder.

The crowd didn't ask where these things came from, they only felt excited, originally when they broke out, they only had a knife in their hands, but now with these weapons, they have confidence when they attack.

In order to make a reasonable deployment, he divided the number into three teams, the first team was led by a monk, and his subordinates were unified with swords for close combat; The second team was led by the fat man, armed with bows and crossbows and spears, and at the same time dispensed 'grenades' to provide short- and medium-distance support and cover; the third team was led by Yang Dongfang himself, all of them were muskets and short knives at the waist.

In this way, more than 50 people formed an assault mode that could be attacked from afar, and could be fought at close range.

When the time came, the first to touch was the first team of monks, the monk was at the forefront as a sharp soldier, he quietly entered from the entrance of the town with the handle of the knife, and then detoured back to the back of the Qing army sentry, three times five divided by two killed two people, it can be seen that the monk's ability is extremely strong.

After clearing the sentry, the three teams rushed into the town briskly, and headed along the foot of the wall in the direction of the center of the town.

Seeing that Yang Dongfang had touched into the town, a dark shadow who had seen all this from a distance quickly ran to Wang Huzi and others on the other side to report: "The Qing army guard post at the entrance of the town south of the division commander was solved by Yang Dongfang's people, and they all rushed into the town, leaving no one outside. ”

After listening to the report of the black shadow, Wang Huzi stroked his long and black beard with great satisfaction, thinking that Yang Dongfang was really desperate to go in, and he didn't leave anyone to answer at the entrance of the town because he wanted to make a desperate bet, which is good, and then smiled:

"Everyone, listen, let's touch in from the north, and we are not allowed to do it without an order, and we are rushing when the south side is almost killed."

Wang Huzi's people soon also touched into the town, at this time just heard the sound of gunfire in the north, and suddenly the Qing army in the town was in turmoil, but it quickly stabilized in the shouting and scolding of the officers, and sent a team of men and horses to support, but to the disappointment of Wang Huzi and others, a small group of people and horses in the Qing army sent a guard to the north at the same time, blocking the courtyard to Shi Dakai was closed.

"Tang Butcher still has two brushes, and he thinks very well, but such a few people can't stop us, so be prepared." Seeing the actions of the Qing army, Wang Huzi had to sigh that Tang Tuhu was a cautious person, but today I, Wang Huzi, am here, I don't believe you are not here.

Unfortunately, when approaching the courtyard, the Qing army set up a horse to block the way, so that Yang Dongfang could not sneak attack, but could only attack, the first to attack was his third team, more than a dozen guns fired, and the Qing soldiers who stood guard were killed and wounded.

Originally, the first team wanted to take the opportunity to rush over, but the battalion of people and horses that could be transferred by Tang Yougeng to rob Shi Dakai were all his elite, so he quickly reacted, and he resisted the first team, and after paying forty or fifty casualties, Tang Yougeng's gun team was also sent over, at this time, the monk's team still did not rush over, seeing that the situation was impossible, Yang Dongfang had no choice but to let the first team retreat.

"The second team shoots me."

The first team retreated, and the fat man's second team began to support, and immediately shot and killed more than a dozen Qing saber and shield soldiers who took the opportunity to chase.

The Qing army did not expect that Yang Dongfang's side had sufficient long-range support, and they couldn't rush for a while, so the two sides stalemate on the main road and shot at each other. The main road in this town is a little muddy, and it is not wide, so although the Qing army has many soldiers, there is no way to take Yang Fangdong for a while, and of course it is extremely difficult for Yang Dongfang to rush over.

The two sides come and go, the gunfire comes and goes, people continue to die, gradually into the white heat, the battle has not stopped for more than ten minutes, and there is no movement on Wang Huzi's side, at this time the fat man persuaded:

"Big brother, why hasn't there been any movement on Wang Huzi's side, we will be consumed to death if we continue like this."
