Chapter 0063 - Looking for a Replacement Ghost Again?

"Oh, it's still inexperienced!" Li Yonggen's performance all fell in Xu Lie's eyes, and the originally perfect battle of blocking made him less perfect in an instant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Fortunately, this situation is also understandable, the comrades-in-arms were injured and panicked, which is indeed an extreme test of reaction for a grassroots officer who is commanding an operation for the first time.

The Qing army was defeated by a thousand people? The answer, of course, is no. As a matter of fact, Li Yonggen's blocking and platoon of guns just now killed and wounded about 60 or 70 Qing soldiers, which is too small compared with the number of 1,000 Qing troops.

Although this array of guns really frightened the Qing army, when they escaped from the range of the platoon guns, they slowly gathered together in groups of three or five, after all, although the supreme commander seemed to have been killed, there were still grass-roots troops such as the commander-in-chief, team officers, and platoon officers.

Now, they gathered in groups of three or five, hiding with the help of shrubs or terrain, waiting for the large forces of the Qing army to come up, or waiting for the Shangguan to come and command.

And this situation is exactly what the Mengshan army needs.

The front army of the Qing army must be blocked, otherwise it cannot be completely annihilated. However, if hundreds of rifles or heavy machine guns suddenly join the attack, its momentum is very likely to make the Qing army, that is, the main force of the Qing army, realize that there is a large force of the Mengshan army in front.

If Zhang Rumei has this kind of understanding, then it is very likely that the main force of the Qing army will turn around and flee, not to mention fleeing far away, as long as you observe a little, you will know that this pig waist valley is vaguely like a pocket, and they will escape out of the pocket, and Xu Lie's goal of completely annihilating this group of guys may be difficult to achieve.

Because, there are still hundreds of war horses in the Chinese army, and when the time comes, the main officers will run away on horseback, how can Xu Lie chase after them? Do you want to take out the off-road jeep again? That thing, you can use it once in a while, in such a large army battle, knowing that it can win completely, and then using that kind of cheating means, it will definitely reduce the growth rate of soldiers in war.

Nima, if you can't win, let the commander go, the commander has supernatural powers! When the officers and soldiers formed such a consciousness, Xu Lie's crossing was definitely a failure.

Gunfire rang out from the forward position, and then the forward appeared a little disorganized, and its message was also quickly transmitted to the center.

"Report to the governor, the front army is blocked, and it is suspected that a small group of bandits are making trouble!" The adjutant rode to Zhang Rumei's side and reported.

At this time, Zhang Rumei had already gotten down from the sedan chair and was looking at it with a monocular: "What's the matter, bandits can also stop the army?" ā€

"Report to your lordship, although it is a small group of bandits, the bandits are equipped with fast guns!" The adjutant reported again.

"Small bandits? Quick gun? Immediately order the strikers to wipe out the bandits at once! All the Chinese army, continue to move forward, and tell the baggage team behind to speed up! Zhang Rumei thought about it for a while and made a decision.

"My lord, do you want to find out more?" General Wuxuan Zhu Yi asked in a low voice.

"No, I don't. At first glance, it is clear that this is a tired tactic of the bandits in the calf-hugging village, and they are trying to stop us in the road in this way of petty fighting, so that they will have the opportunity to calmly escape from the clouds. ā€

"Your Excellency is right!" Zhu Yi thought about it and felt that Zhang Rumei's analysis was reasonable. A group of bandits occupied the county seat, and now that the imperial army has come to conquer it, the bandits will definitely have no chance of winning. Now, the bandits have detected the location of the imperial army, so they send a small force to block it, but the bandits' large army can have more time to calmly loot the county's goods.

Although Mengyin is a small county, it is no problem to really search carefully and find hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Thinking of this, Zhu Yi felt that he should earn some surface: "My lord, I'll go to the front and have a look!" ā€

"Report that Lord Zhang, Lord Zhu, and the guerrilla general Liu Yingjia were killed by bandits!" Before Zhu Yi left, a herald from the forward rode over as if he were riding a horse.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on with the striker?" When Zhang Rumei heard that Liu Yingjia was killed in battle, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

"We were met by a small group of bandits, but the bandits' marksmanship was particularly accurate, and we immediately killed dozens of people, and everyone else crawled on the ground. At this time, General Liu, who was in the rear, organized several teams in the back, about 500 people, and rushed forward in the face of the bandits' bullets, but the bandits' marksmanship was so accurate that every time they fired, more than a dozen of our brothers fell on the road, so that we rushed while the bandits opened fire, and soon lost nearly 100 people.

Finally, some of the brothers could not resist running into the bushes on both sides, and some fled farther away, while General Liu shouted for everyone to come back, and at this moment, General Liu was hit by a bullet and then ran out of breath. ā€

"Bastard, I'm not asking you to tell stories, I'm asking you, how many bandits are there?" Zhang Rumei was so angry that she cursed, Nima, who cares how people die at this time, the important thing is what to do with the living.

"My lord, I don't know about this." The herald said.

"Bastard, I haven't even figured out how many bandits there are, and I still have the face to report? Come on, pull it out and cut it-" Zhang Rumei shouted angrily.

"Your Excellency, please wait a moment." Zhu Yi interjected, "Think about it, what's going on on the battlefield?" ā€

"Lord Governor, Lord General, we were on the way to the army, and we were suddenly attacked, although there was a close moment of holding each other, but I really didn't find a few bandits, because they were all very well hidden, we couldn't see it, if we could see the head, we were still afraid that he would not be able to do it?!"

"Didn't you say you don't know how many?" Zhu Yi keenly grasped the loophole in the herald's words.

"My lord, I judged from the gunfire of the bandits, and I can't count them. When the Governor asked me just now, apparently I did not dare to say this, because this is only my estimate, and it may not be accurate. "The herald almost went to the ghost gate to take a turn, and he was really scared when he talked about this.

"Alright, there you go. The old man doesn't embarrass you. Zhang Rumei waved her hand. He knew that the sin was not in the herald, and he was not interested in getting along with a small soldier.

"Your Excellency?" Zhu Yi saw that Zhang Rumei's mood had changed, and asked out loud.

"Hey, General Zhu, this battle is worth it!" Zhang Rumei said suddenly.

"My lord, but I have a life, Zhu Yi has no disobedience!" Seeing Zhang Rumei say this, how could Zhu Yi not return the favor? This is the governor's own share of the credit.

Profit sharing credit? Zhu Yi is afraid that he didn't understand the thoughts in the minds of these civil officials. Because of the strength of the bandit army, Zhang Rumei has the intention of borrowing Zhu Yi on the surface, but in her bones, she may not have the intention of finding a substitute for the dead ghost, just like Yuxian found Yuan Yong to be a substitute for the dead ghost before.
