Since the scourge of Lu Fatzi came to the front line, the generals and soldiers of the mite army on the front line of the battlefield are peaceful and depressed, and they basically have nothing to do because of the strict order of Ao Bai not to go to war, not only will they not feel bored because of the boring life at all, and the battlefield pressure is huge and there is nowhere to vent, but every day is a colorful and tasteful life! And it was no one else who brought them all this, it was we who had a noble character, a high talent, and a well-known reputation - Lu Yifeng, Lu Sanhao, and Lord Lu.

Of course, it is not without reason to say this, every day during the day, whenever the siege fortifications are in full swing, the propaganda team carefully selected and formed by Lu Fatzi always runs close with great concern, and shouts neatly by beating gongs and drums, "Brothers of the Eight Banners, brothers of the Green Camp, don't waste your strength, the old thief doesn't want to fight a battle at all, let's not kill each other, don't waste our strength, let's sit down and enjoy." ”

"The old thief doesn't want to fight at all, so take a break, don't waste your strength-! Let's rest! ”

Although the number of the propaganda team organized by Lu Fatzi is small, no more than thirty or fifty people in total, all of them are full of energy, have a loud voice, and have been trained to unify the caliber, and the slogans shouted out are neat and spread far and wide, and most of the non-commissioned officers of the Mites Qing army who are building siege fortifications outside Yuping Pass can hear them, and they can basically hear them clearly. That's not all, after shouting this slogan, these propaganda teams will take out some straw paper packets of Baqi Fushou ointment, sprinkle them everywhere, and then shout neatly again:

"Brothers, this is the Eight Banners Fushou Paste that our prince gave you, you don't need money for nothing, whoever picks it will belong to whom! Don't worry, our prince loves the people like a son and won't poison him! ”

Then, these propaganda teams naturally dispersed in a hurry, fled back to Yuping Pass to rest, and waited for the opportunity to go out again. And since the mite Qing soldiers found out that these people were indeed sprinkled with the Eight Banners Fushou paste that only the mite Qing generals and officials could enjoy, and found that these Eight Banners Fushou paste was actually not poisonous, whenever these propaganda teams sprinkled the Eight Banners Fushou ointment, the mite Qing soldiers who built the fortifications would immediately throw away the hoes, dustpans and flat poles in their hands, and the tide generally rushed forward to rob, not only Yue Le's supervising team could not be pumped away, but also often fought for a small bag of Fushou ointment, drew swords against each other, and then formed a grudge. Naturally, the military discipline in the Yue Le barracks deteriorated rapidly, and the internal strife of picking quarrels and provoking troubles and taking revenge for personal gain emerged one after another, and morale was also greatly reduced.

After a few days, Yue Le began to find that something was wrong, and in order not to let the situation worsen, Yue Le had to send his own commander of the Chinese army to personally lead the military law team to the front line to stop the soldiers from robbing the Eight Banners Fushou paste spread by the Wu army. But what made Yue Le vomit blood was that after this military law team composed of all banner people went to the front line, they actually took the lead in snatching the Eight Banners Fushou Cream, and for the sake of who grabbed more and who grabbed less, the infighting situation was even more serious than that of the Han soldiers - no way, the first to be poisoned by the Eight Banners Fushou Paste was that these banners were full of people, and the taste of opium addiction was what Yue Le could imagine?

In a fit of rage, Yue Le cut off four or five heads of the most troublesome soldiers in one go, and then arranged for eight hundred cavalry to wait on the front line, specifically sniping the Wu army propaganda team, but at this time, Gao Dejie, who was the best at cavalry warfare under Wu Sangui, also began to move, and before the Wu army propaganda team escaped to Yuping Pass, Gao Dejie's deputy Gao Hongchen had already rushed out of the gate with three hundred iron cavalry and started the most orthodox cavalry battle with Yue Le's cavalry.

It was also at this moment that the Gao Dejie army, which had been suppressing the Tusi army almost every year, also showed an overwhelming surname advantage over the degenerated Eight Banners cavalry, the soldiers were all skilled in martial arts, skilled in cooperation and not afraid of death, galloping in the Eight Banners cavalry several times their own, invincible, as if entering a no-man's land, and soon killed the Eight Banners cavalry, which had already been polished by a rich life, and fled back to the battlefield with more than 100 corpses, and Gao Hongchen and others did not pursue, laughed and scolded in front of the battle and walked away.

The above is only the wonderful life of the mite Qing soldiers during the day, and at night, the mite Qing soldiers soon found a more wonderful program, that is, the wonderful leaflet brought by the Kong Ming lantern of the Wu army to spread the leaflet - of course, if Lu Fatzi is still the same old-fashioned, and only fake secret edicts are printed on the leaflets, then most of the mite Qing soldiers who are generally poorly educated must not understand and are not interested, so since the first large-scale dissemination of false secret edicts, Lu Fatzi has changed his strategy, and the leaflets are printed - Spring Palace painting!

If there is anyone who is the most proficient in this area in this era, then this person is definitely Lu Sanhao, the fat man who has seen countless love action movies in the island country, and also holds the blessing of Lu Sanhao, and the mite Qing soldiers who picked up the leaflet quickly saw the unseen and unheard of surname love action before, what K sex, G sex, three P, four P, two men and one woman, up and down the front and back three guns bombarded ......, all kinds of things, and the men and women have handsome faces, vivid postures, and great artistic value and collection value.

Such a good thing, although in addition to the Spring Palace, is also printed with the great rebellion that is not good for the Qing Dynasty Taishi Aobai, or also printed with some words that shake the hearts of the army, but it has still become a sought-after commodity of the mite Qing soldiers, competing to collect and exchange, exchange what is available, although Yue Le strictly prohibited, and also sent a military law team to collect it every day, but it has always been very effective, most of the mite Qing soldiers still risked the risk of being beaten by the military stick desperately to collect - no way, who called the barracks even mosquitoes are male, and they have only been soldiers for three days, Sows become fairies!

Wu Sangui's army's psychological warfare methods are so inferior, and there are so many tricks, seeing that the military discipline is getting worse and worse day by day, and the morale is getting worse day by day, Yue Le gradually became a little unbearable, and had to ask for help from Ao Bai, who was in the position, to explain the situation and ask for countermeasures, but on the day that Ao Bai arrived at the front line in Huangzhou again, something happened that made Ao Bai and Yue Le stunned together!

"Lord Wang, Master, it's not good! Oh no! As soon as Ao Bai sat down, before he had time to talk to Yue Le, Yue Le's Chinese army escort Mang Yitu stumbled into the Chinese army's tent, and shouted with a crying voice: "Something is wrong!" There are many brothers, for some reason, who suddenly writh on the ground and have convulsions, and many more brothers are dizzy and vomiting, vomiting up and down, and now there is a mess in the barracks, so go out and see! ”

"What?!" Ao Bai and Yue Le's faces changed color together, and they hurriedly rushed out of the Chinese army camp, and when they hurried to the scene under the guidance of Mang Yitu, they saw a vacant land larger than two football fields, full of mite soldiers moaning in pain, either foaming at the mouth and twitching limbs, rolling on the ground, or spitting up and shouting loudly, and the pitiful number of military doctors were sweating profusely running back and forth among the sick people, rescuing the wounded everywhere, taking care of one or the other, but there were still sick soldiers pouring in all directions under the support of their companions.

"What the hell is going on?" Seeing this scene, Ao Bai and Yue Le inevitably turned a little pale, Yue Le immediately made a decision, and hurriedly sent a military doctor to him, grabbed his collar and shouted: "What the hell is going on?" Why do so many people fall ill all at once? What exactly is the disease? ”

"Lord Wang, it's poisoning, it's poisoning." The military doctor shouted with a crying voice: "Some are poisoned by the horse money, and some are poisoned by croton, as well as aconitum and oleander!" Anyway, as long as you can find poison in Yunnan and Guizhou, you can see it here! More brothers were poisoned at the same time, and they couldn't be saved! ”

"Poisoning?!" Yue Le's face was full of incredulity, and he yelled, "How is it possible? How is it possible that so many people are poisoned at the same time? Where did the poison come from?! ”

"I know." Ao Bai suddenly spoke, first pointing to the bright sun in the sky, and then pointing to the Zhenyang River in the north, and said in a deep voice: "This year's climate is hot, the rainfall is relatively scarce in general, and the Zhenyang River has little water and slow flow. ”

"Gao Dejie, I fuck your mother's eighteenth generation ancestor! Can you use such a shameless trick? Yue Le couldn't help but scold—but what Yue Le obviously didn't know was that he had actually wronged Gao Dejie, although Gao Dejie also liked to cheat when using soldiers, but he really couldn't figure out such an obscene trick as poisoning the water source.

"What's the use of scolding? Soldiers are not tired of deceit, and if they mistakenly hit the enemy's plan on the battlefield, they can only blame themselves for being stupid, and they can't blame the enemy for being too cunning. Ao Bai did not have a seizure as expected, but calmly ordered: "Hurry up and pass the order, from now on, no one in the army is allowed to drink the river water." Also, organize soldiers who are not poisoned to defend themselves, and the enemy will soon take advantage of the opportunity to attack. ”

Yue Le hurriedly took the order and left, and Ao Bai turned to his Chinese army escort commander Hadaha, and ordered sharply: "Hurry, hurry up and quickly contact the Yuanzhou battalion, and let the king of Shuncheng County, Leerjin, quickly mobilize 30,000 troops to the south to respond, and change guards with Yue Le's army!" ”

"Boom!" Before Hadaha's words fell, in the direction of Yuping Pass in the distance, a huge cannon sound suddenly sounded, and Aobai's face changed, knowing that Wu Jun had found that the poisoning plan had succeeded, and had taken the opportunity to launch a general attack. Ao Bai didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly ordered again: "Quick, escort Benxiang to a high place, Benxiang wants to take the opportunity to see, Wu Sangui's old thief's army, how powerful it is now!" ”

Aobai's pro-soldier team followed the order, and quickly surrounded the highest point of Aobiden's camp, when Aobai raised the telescope to observe, he saw that Gao Dejie had personally led about 3,000 elite cavalry of the Wu army to rush out of the wall, and was killing the Qing army camp, although the cavalry charged with all their strength, but the team was not chaotic at all, Yue Le was desperately expelling the soldiers at the front fortifications to organize defense, and countless soldiers were in chaos, which was in stark contrast to the Wu cavalry who shouted and killed in the distance but the team was neat.

Seeing this, Ao Bai's heart suddenly sank, and he secretly said in his heart: "This battle is lost, I can't imagine that it has only been ten years since my Qing army ended the large-scale war, and the army has already degenerated to this point." It's Wu Sangui's old thief, the army is fighting with the local Tusi every year, not only has it not degenerated at all, but it has also improved. ”

The battle situation was expected to be worshipped, the low morale and loose military discipline of the Qing army in front of Gao Dejie's hundred battles division, completely a touch of defeat, Gao Dejie cavalry only one charge directly broke through the Qing army defense line, long drive straight into the Qing army camp, most of the Qing soldiers are scrambling to hold their heads, only a few teams come forward to block, but it is also a mess out of formation, the same in front of the Wu cavalry a touch to defeat, let the Wu army iron cavalry in the camp to rush and kill, such as into no man's land.

"Mom, here we are! Here it comes! "Run!" "Run! Come on! "Help, help!" Listening to the desperate cries of the Qing soldiers, and seeing the Qing soldiers fleeing for their lives without fighting spirit in front of the Wu cavalry, Ao Bai's thick eyebrows were almost twisted together - although Yue Le's army was not a first-class army in the Qing army, it was not as good as the elite under Aobai's direct control, and Mu Zhan, Laita and several other trapped soldiers, but it was also the main force of the Qing army. As a result, such an army behaved like this in the cavalry of the Wu army, and the prospects for this decisive battle were really worrying.

"No, you can't completely blame Yue Lejun for being incompetent." Ao Bai quickly comforted himself in his heart: "Gao Dejie barbarian under the command of Wu Sangui's old thief, although he is not the highest official general, but he is definitely the most useful general, attacking Burma and Pingding Yunnan Guizhou Tusi, almost every time Gao Dejie is the vanguard, and at the same time, from the point of view that Gao Dejie's army is all cavalry, this army is definitely the elite of Wu Sangui's old thief, Yue Le lost to him, it is not wronged." ”

"In addition, there are several factors that also restrict the play of Yue Le's army, the first is that the tricks of the Gao Dejie barbarians a few days ago have greatly shaken Yue Le's military heart and slackened the morale of this army, which will make Yue Le's army attacked by poisonous water again, countless soldiers and generals have been poisoned and lost their combat effectiveness, and their morale and psychology have weakened to the lowest point, even if the old man personally leads this army, it may not be able to do better than Yue Le. This battle is not worth referring to at all! ”

Thinking about this, Ao Bai resolutely put down his binoculars - since this time the Wu army's assault battle could not provide a reference, and it was impossible to judge the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the Qing army and the Wu army, Ao Bai naturally had no need to continue watching. But after thinking about it, Ao Bai suddenly had another thought, "Who came up with today's extremely clever opportunity for the assault battle, as well as the idea of poisoning the river and the tricks of the scattered army a few days ago?" Is it the barbarian himself, or is it someone else? ”

"If it's someone else, then this person is too terrible, this plan not only uses the psychology of our army, but also uses the climate, terrain and rivers, for Wen Bi to become Wu Rebel Strategist, for Wu, for Wu, he will become a general!"

Thinking of this, Ao Bai beckoned to his henchman Hadaha again, Hadaha understood, and quickly put his ear to Ao Bai's mouth, Ao Bai ordered in a low voice: "You personally bring a few good hands over, no matter what means you use, you must catch an enemy alive for me, preferably someone with a bit of an official position, I will torture the confession!" ”

Hadaha nodded, and hurriedly took ten of his best personal soldiers to rush down the mountain and break into the battlefield, at this time, Gao Dejie's cavalry had almost rushed to Yue Le's Chinese army tent, Yue Le in the chaos was so angry that he vomited blood, and he was so anxious that he almost cried, and hurriedly led the pro-army back to the camp in a reluctantly formation, and at the same time ordered the Chinese army to protect the leader Mang Yitu to defend the big tent, if Gao Dejie's army broke through the big tent, he would not be spared - if the Chinese army's big tent was really broken by Gao Dejie's army, Yue Le really didn't have the face to lead the Qing army's forward army.

Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of Yue Le's Chinese army is still quite tenacious, using the village fence to block the Wu army's surprise cavalry, and at the same time, Yue Le's pro-army also returned to help in time, and finally held the big tent, and personally led the army to charge Gao Dejie is also an old slippery head on the battlefield, knowing that once the time is prolonged, when the Qing army adjusts from the chaos, his own strength will suffer a big loss, so he decisively gave up the impact of the big tent, led the army to rush to the most chaotic left wing of the Qing army in an arc, and from this position he re-killed the Qing army camp, and returned to the thunderous Yuping Pass with a wild laugh.

Gao Dejie's assault, before and after less than two hours, but to the Qing army Yue Le Department brought an extraordinary heavy blow, four Qing army leaders died tragically under the Wu army's sabre, and one was simply in the chaos of the army by their own rebels died miserably, the same suffered such a tragic fate of the mite Qing soldiers are countless, the fortifications in the camp are full of corpses, blood flowed all over the canal, the total loss of troops is more than 2,000, but the loss of Wu cavalry, is less than 100 people.

After cutting off more than a dozen officers and generals who took the lead in fleeing for their lives in one go, Yue Le took off his armor, asked his own soldiers to tie himself up, and entered the big tent of the Chinese army by himself, and pleaded guilty to Ao Bai in the high tent.

"Master, Xiao Wang has come to confess to you." As soon as they met, Yue Le knelt down on his knees and cried loudly: "Xiao Wang is incompetent in governing the army, he has lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and his crimes are unforgivable. ”

After that, Yue Le kowtowed desperately, crying bitterly, Ao Bai was angry and funny, walked in front of Yue Le from his seat, personally picked up Yue Le, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, what are you doing here?" Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and once in a while, a small setback, can you do this? Come on, quickly untie Prince An. ”

"Xiao Wang is incompetent, leading the troops to lead like this, and the 3,000 cavalry of the barbarians broke through the big camp, and he was almost broken through the big tent of the Chinese army and cut off the handsome banner." Yue Le cried bitterly: "Xiao Wang has failed to live up to the trust of the Taishi, and he really has no shame to face the Taishi, no matter how the Taishi disposes of Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang does not dare to complain." ”

"It's all said, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and this battle is like this, you can't be completely blamed, there are many objective reasons." Aobai's surname is to eat soft and not hard, like Yue Le loses and loses, never overpowering people, Aobai is very appreciative. So Ao Bai patted Yue Le's shoulder and comforted: "Besides, except for the fact that your command was a little chaotic at the beginning, your performance later was still remarkable, after being broken through the defense line by the barbarian cavalry, you did not blindly chase and did not collapse, but just collected the defeated soldiers in time and reorganized into an army, which gave you the strength of the later battle." ”

"Also, when the barbarian cavalry stormed the big tent, you were able to lead the army to fight to the death, hold the big tent and the handsome banner, and not completely collapse the morale, which stabilized the morale of the army and forced the barbarian cavalry with insufficient troops to take the initiative to withdraw. It's good to have such a calm performance when the army is defeated. Okay, okay, don't cry, put on your clothes quickly, Benxiang will deal with you, but not now, other things will be talked about later. ”

At this time, Hadaha, the Chinese army escort of Aobai, had already escorted a sentry commander of the Wu army who was covered in bruises and reported to Aobaiyu: "Master Qiqi, according to your request, he was caught alive, and he also agreed to confess." ”

"Good." Ao Bai nodded with satisfaction, pulled Yue Le back to his seat and sat down, and asked Hadaha to escort the Wu army sentry commander to kneel down in front of him, and said with a smile: "Boy, listen up, the old man is the Great Qing Taishi Aobai, the old man is ordered to rebel and pacify Yungui, the only thing to kill is the old thief Wu Sangui alone, whether you are bewitched by him, or coerced by him, follow him to rebel, as long as you are lost, the old man will not kill you." And as long as you tell the truth, the old man will not only not kill you, but will also reward you heavily, do you understand? ”

"Understood." The sentry commander of the Wu army obviously had no backbone, and he was obviously afraid of the torture of Hadaha and others, so he took the initiative to rush to say without asking: "The little one's name is Wu Jun, and he is the former battalion sentry officer of General Gao Dejie, the general of the left wing of the iron cavalry. ”

"Very smart, the old man likes smart people like you the most." Ao Bai nodded with satisfaction and asked, "The old man asks you, haven't your Yungui army been equipped with a lot of new firearms in the past two years?" Why haven't I used it yet? Still using the old arquebus? ”

"New firearms? What new firearms did the master ask? The sentry commander of the Wu army showed a confused look on his face.

"It's the three-good rockets and three-good artillery that you have passed very well? Why, haven't you heard of it? Ao Bai asked suspiciously.

"Oh, those things." The sentry commander of the Wu army came back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "I have heard of it, but these things are equipped by the Shenji Battalion directly under the prince, and our left wing army does not have them." Oh, by the way, the little one has also heard that General Gao seems to have some in his hand, but why don't you take it out and use it, the small one doesn't know. ”

"What kind of reputation is Wu Sangui's old thief?" Ao Bai was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "He spent so much silver to build a new type of firearm, why don't you let the army use it?" Are these new firearms too poor, and Wu Sangui's old thief is deliberately hiding them? Or are these new firearms too powerful, Wu Sangui old thief deliberately didn't let Gao Dejie barbarian use it first, and wanted to wait until the decisive battle to surprise the old man?! ”

"Fart!" Yue Le jumped up, grabbed Wu Jun's collar in the past, lifted it up and shouted: "Is there an army in the world that has firearms in the army and is not allowed to use them?" Are you trying to deceive the Taishi? What is the reason for this? ”

"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare." Then Wu Jun begged, "General Mingjian, I really don't know what the reason is, maybe it's because General Gao likes cavalry warfare and doesn't like firearms." ”

"Do you want to talk about it?" Yue Le raised his fist. Ao Bai shouted in time: "Lord An, there is no need to be like this, the old man has already guessed the reason, he really doesn't know, there is no need to force him." ”

Yue Le had no choice but to put down that Wu Jun, and Ao Bai asked Wu Jun again: "Wu Jun, I ask you again, is it a temporary decision for you to raid the camp of our Qing army today?" Or is it pre-arranged? And who decided to poison under the water of the river? ”

"Back to Taishi, it was Lu Yifeng, the prefect of Qujing Mansion, who poisoned the river water." Wu Jun replied very happily this time, "The raid on the Qing camp was also arranged by General Gao in advance by Lu Yifeng. ”

"Lu Yifeng?!" Ao Baiteng stood up, Yue Le was also taken aback, and exclaimed, "How is it possible? That fat man named Lu Yifeng, Xiao Wang has also seen it, he still has such a ability? ”

"Lord Wang, it's really him." Wu Jun also didn't believe it because Yue Le, so he quickly explained: "When he asked General Gao to collect poison everywhere and prepare for poisoning, General Gao felt that this thing was unreliable, so he didn't want to use it, so Lord Lu made a bet with Gao Jie, saying that if this trick didn't work, he would lose five taels of silver to each brother in Yuping Pass, and if this trick worked, General Gao would have to listen to his arrangements to fight in the future." General Gao has a few personal soldiers who have a good relationship with me, they all heard it with their own ears, and what they said when chatting with me is absolutely not wrong! And when he poisoned the river this morning, it was also personally commanded by Lord Lu. ”

Ao Bai and Yue Le exchanged glances with each other, and a thought rose in their hearts - they really underestimated this fat man Lu at the beginning! After thinking about it for a while, Ao Bai asked again: "So, a few days ago, you used Kong Ming lanterns to spread fake secret edicts, sprinkled spring palace maps, and sent people to sprinkle Eight Banners Fushou ointment in front of our formation, could it be that it was Lu Yifeng's idea?" ”

"That's right, he did it." Wu Jun replied with a sad face: "Once the Kong Ming lantern was released, the little one also went to help, and I saw with my own eyes that it was he who commanded it, and there were also those spring palace paintings, which were also printed by the craftsmen he found from Sizhou and Zhenyuan. ”

"Lu Yifeng!" Yue Le stomped down heavily, and said with annoyance: "Back then, this king really underestimated you!" ”

"It's not just the prince that you underestimate him, but the old man also underestimates him." Ao Bai said slowly: "The old man has a hunch that if this Lu Yifeng can be used by you and me, he will become your and my help." If you are enemies of you and me, you and I will be strong enemies! The scourge of the Great Qing Dynasty! ”
