Chapter 679: The Baggage Was Robbed
This time it was not the Lu army that escorted the baggage, nor the newly recruited Lu army, the newly recruited thousands of Lu troops are still under the command of Wang Huanzhang, receiving the most rigorous training, this time the escort is the four green battalions under the governor of Caoyun, four green battalions, if the full number, that is two thousand people, a not weak combat force.

However, the four green battalions on Caoyun were only less than 1,500 people, and a large number of establishments were hollowed out, and the battalion officers and even the chief soldiers and deputy generals above were paid empty salaries, and the green battalion soldiers were not to mention a lot of bright armor.
Perhaps, Guo Ye's only problem is to let the Green Battalion escort these baggage, because they are about to face an elite raid.
The leader of the team is a deputy general under the governor of Caoyun, Guo Quanhai, this is a member of the "fierce general" that the governor of Caoyun trusts very much, Guo Quanhai conceited that he has four battalions under his command, more than 1,000 people, what kind of bandits can deal with it, but he didn't expect that it was Shi Dakai's elite Taiping army who came to attack.
Mingguang, but a small county town, there is a small wharf here, the distance from Huainan is only two or three hundred miles away, after a long march, the Caoyun army also needs to replenish food, Mingguang is the foothold they chose, a large ship slowly docked, the green battalion soldiers have not docked for nearly two days, naturally they are very excited, and there is finally a trace of excitement in the lazy eyes.
It's just that the Green Battalion has not yet fully landed on the shore, and the rapid gunfire is remembered in the distance.
Qiu Qingfei personally led a thousand elites and launched a surprise attack on the green camp.
The unprepared green battalion soldiers were stunned by the fierce and rapid gunfire, they usually catch water bandits, bully and bully the common people, where have they seen a real big battle? One by one, the hapless Green Battalion soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.
Guo Quanhai was shocked and roared angrily: "Enemy attack, respond to the battle immediately, and protect the baggage on the ship!" ”
Groups of Green Battalion soldiers gathered in a panic, ready to fight, but the opponent they faced was too strong, so strong that they couldn't face it at all!
Qiu Qingfei commanded a thousand foreign gun battalions, from two directions, launched a fierce attack on the green battalion, the bullets in his hands were shot out unfatally, the people who were shot were either dead or wounded, the bloody scene had already scared a group of green battalion soldiers to stand in two groups, after all, they were not the bloody Lu army, nor the brave Hunan army and the Huai army, but only the green battalion responsible for Cao Yun, and their combat effectiveness was not much stronger than the eight banner masters!
In the face of the bullets that covered the sky and the sun, the green battalion soldiers were already frightened, turned around and ran, and some were unlucky, and even forgot that there was the Qinhuai River behind them, and fell into the river backwards!
It was too neat, the four green battalions, 1,500 people, did not even resist in front of the Taiping army for half an hour, they were beaten and fled, and all of them were gone, and there was no trace of them, as for Guo Quanhai, the henchman of the governor of Caoyun, he had already run away on his horse.
A big victory, a big victory, Qiu Qingfei's heart was stirring excitedly, all the riverbank was full of baggage, no matter if his weapons and ammunition, or grain and grass, he grabbed them all and immediately sent them to the Wing King, and now the Wing King is still waiting for it!
Huo Qingteng rode a war horse and ran over from behind, laughing and said: "Qingfei, beautiful, this one is a beautiful fight, more than a thousand Qing demons, killed in a battle, amazing!" ”
Qiu Qingfei said with a smile: "General, I'll just say it, just attack head-on, there is no problem, they are not the Lu army, they are just a group of green battalions, and more than a thousand people are not enough for us to clean up!" Let's go, take this batch of baggage, and return to Huainan immediately, the prince is still waiting for us to bring the baggage back! ”
Huo Qingteng and Qiu Qing were naturally happy, but Guo Quanhai was miserable, more than a thousand subordinates were completely defeated, and there were only a dozen people around him, at this time, where would he dare to Suqian? When I went back, I saw the Governor of Caoyun, but I was afraid that there was no way to live, these things were the most deadly things on the front line, and I was lost by myself!
And even if the governor of Caoyun doesn't clean him up, just by relying on the strength of Caoyun, he will definitely not be able to get it back, the opponent is too strong, and those foreign guns alone are definitely not something he can deal with.
Guo Quanhai pinned all his hopes on Lu Jun at this time, Lu Jun's name had already grinded out his ear calluses, it was the real first strong army of the Qing Dynasty, and only they could snatch the baggage back.
Guo Quanhai was finally not confused, rode a fast horse and galloped all the way, ran to Huainan in one breath, and came to the Lu army camp to deliver a letter to Guo Ye.
"Guo Quanhai, the deputy general under the command of Lu Dingqiu, the governor of Caoyun, see the Duke of Yasukuni!"
Guo Ye looked at Guo Quanhai, who was covered in dust, frowned, and asked, "Get up, Vice General Guo, you have been so dusty all the way, do you have anything to see me......"
"My lord, this, this, I was ordered to lead the green battalion to escort the baggage transported from Shandong, but I didn't want to be raided by Longhair after entering Anhui, and all the baggage was robbed by Longhair......"
Guo Quanhai snorted.
Guo Ye suddenly stood up from his seat, his face solemn, "What, you said that all the baggage was robbed?" ”
Guo Quanhai's face was full of bitterness, he knelt on the ground, he didn't dare to say nonsense, now that Governor Guo Ye is in all the wars, killing him is like crushing an ant, he has made such a big mistake, if he wants to live, it all depends on Guo Ye.
It's just that Guo Ye didn't have time to speak, and behind him, Gao Qi had already jumped over, dragged Guo Quanhai up from the ground, and roared angrily: "What did you say, dog, all the baggage has been robbed?" Then why the hell are you still alive, you piece of shit! ”
Not only Gao Qi was in a hurry, but everyone was in a hurry, there were countless weapons and ammunition in it! If the Taiping army gets Huainan, how much damage will it bring to itself?
Guo Ye's face was pale, and he secretly regretted it in his heart, specially, damn it, he actually forgot about this stubble, Shi Dakai is not an ordinary person, he still has this ability, but not only he knows how to transport materials through the Grand Canal! I actually chose to believe in the military power of the Caoyun Green Battalion!
"Order, Zhang Hexiang led six cavalry battalions to all attack, pressing the Qinhuai River to advance eastward, and I must block the Taiping army that raided the green camp for me, and I must not let them join the main force!"
Guo Ye shouted loudly, this is not a joke, this batch of military supplies can ensure that the Taiping Army will fight for at least ten days! There are still 2,000 new rifles in there, damn it!
"Order the artillery battalion to launch a full-scale artillery bombardment of Shi Dakai's Chinese army camp, and the army is ready to launch a full-scale attack!" (To be continued.) )
