"Uncle!" Cheng Sheng, a general who was also sweating, came to Shi Fu's side and said nervously, "This place is only dozens of miles away from Qingyuan County, and the Ming army may catch up at any time, so I'd better hurry up!" ”

After a battle last afternoon, several major generals around Shi Fu, such as Hong Xishan, Liang Li, Huang Ting and others, were either captured or killed in battle, leaving only Cheng Sheng lucky to escape from Ascension with Shi Fu. Cheng Sheng was originally a fierce general, but now he has long lost his original arrogance, and his sweaty face is full of shock.

Shi Fu looked at Cheng Sheng, glanced around again, sighed and said: "The soldiers have been running for so long, they are already exhausted, and if they continue to run, they will all collapse, so let's rest for a while." The Ming army was busy searching for our rout, collecting weapons, armor and heads, and they couldn't catch up for a while and a half. ”

Cheng Sheng looked at the surrounding officers and soldiers who were sitting or lying down, and also felt that it was very unrealistic to set off immediately, so he had to give up persuasion. Subsequently, when he mentioned the battle last afternoon, there was still a hint of fear and shock in his tone: "That Ming army is really a bit evil, since I followed Lao Shuai (Zheng Zhilong), I have never encountered such a strong enemy." We have 5,000 men in our camp, 5,000 old brothers. In the face of the Ming army of less than 4,000, it actually collapsed like this! Alas, I think at the beginning..."

Shi Fu coldly interrupted Cheng Sheng's words: "Good Han Moti was brave back then. No matter what happened at the beginning, we were all defeated at the hands of that Ming army! However, those Ming troops are really unusual, they all say that the Manchurian soldiers are invincible in the world, and I think they are not much worse than the Manchurian soldiers. What's more, they launched a surprise attack while our army's victory was in sight and tired and lax, but our army was defenseless. Where can it be resisted? At this point, our Fujian army is almost destroyed. It's a pity that the hard work of the old handsome man for many years has been in vain! ”

Cheng Sheng wiped the sweat from his face and lowered his head to ponder for a moment. said: "Uncle doesn't have to be so discouraged, although we have been hit hard, but fortunately, there are still so many soldiers." As long as we wait to get back to Guangzhou in time, resist the attack of the Ming army and wait for reinforcements to arrive. The court will not blame us. Waited for this hurdle. We can go back to Fujian to recruit soldiers and regroup! ”

Hearing this, Shi Fu looked at Cheng Sheng with a strange gaze, as if he was looking at an idiot, until he stared at Cheng Sheng uncomfortably, then he put his gaze back to the corner just now, and sneered: "Back to Guangzhou? If I were Tong Yangjia or Li Chengdong, I would wish you did this! But I'm not! ”

Seeing Chengsheng, he was still a little confused. Shi Fu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and gave up beating around the bush. patiently explained: "As for the character of Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong's gang, I don't need to say more, right?" Those are those who want to take advantage of the advantages and refuse to suffer a loss until they die! With such a big defeat this time, do you think they will take the initiative to take the blame? No way! Although everyone has a mouth, they are the ones who can directly deliver the folds to the imperial court. When the time comes, the only ones who will be pushed out to blame for the sin may only be you and me. Perhaps, as soon as we return to Guangzhou, these remaining soldiers will be swallowed up by them, and you and I will be arrested immediately. Do you think they'll be kind enough to let us go? ”

"Li Chengdong, Tong Yangjia and others are indeed not trustworthy, what the uncle said is not unreasonable." "But the situation may not be so irreversible. At present, the reinforcements of the Ming army have entered Liangguang, and before the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive, Tong Yangjia still has to rely on us and wait, and he doesn't dare to attack us for the time being! ”

Shi Fu sneered a few more times, and a little fierceness flashed in his eyes: "Even so, don't rush back to Guangzhou when we wait." If I'm not mistaken, the Ming army will soon take Guangzhou directly, and Li Chengdong and Tong Yangjia are unkind and unrighteous first, so why should we accompany them to death? ”

"Then if the imperial court investigates it in the future......" Cheng Sheng was still a little uneasy.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way! In short, I will not let our old brothers in the Min army suffer any more! Shi Fu seems to have made up his mind a long time ago, "After resting for a while, we will find a boat to cross the river and go to Conghua County first." ”

"Okay, we'll all listen to Uncle!" Although he didn't know what Shi Fu's idea was, Cheng Sheng still nodded and agreed.

A moment later, Shi Fu had just calmed down, and the sound of horses' hooves that came quickly lifted his heart again, and when he looked up, he saw in the distance what seemed to be the sentry he had placed on the periphery.

"Uncle, it's not good!" The sentry ran until the edge of the crowd before rolling off his horse, and hurriedly ran to Shi Fu's side and shouted, "The Ming army has caught up, there are hundreds of cavalry, one person with two horses, neatly draped, all of them are the elite of the army!" ”

As soon as the sentry's words fell, Shi Fu, who had excellent hearing, heard an increasingly fierce sound of iron hooves rolling not far away, and immediately stood up with a "soaring" sound. When the Qing troops who were resting around learned the news, they also violently exploded their nests, panicked and made a mess.

"Uncle, hurry up and lead the soldiers to break through!" Cheng Sheng put on his helmet as fast as he could, grabbed his weapon, and said anxiously to Shi Fu.

Shi Fu was about to speak, but he heard the faint sound of dense horses' hooves coming from the east side of the valley, and then looked at the state of his own officers and soldiers around him, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Qingyuan County

After noon, several of the officers and soldiers of the Ming army and the righteous division who went to search for the Qing army's rout had already rushed back, and it seemed that the harvest was not small. Groups of dejected Qing prisoners were strung with ropes and gathered together with those who had already been caught.

According to the officers who led the team, the search process went smoothly and there was little resistance. In particular, those Qing soldiers in Guangdong, after being guaranteed to be able to live and eat, left behind the few weapons they had. Groups of three or five came out of hiding. The performance of the Fujian Qing soldiers was similar, because they were not familiar with the place, and they had little choice. The only ones who resisted stubbornly were those of Li Chengdong's descendants. However, due to the lack of superiority in numbers, and they fought on their own, they were soon completely wiped out, or killed on the spot, or subdued by the Ming army.

Knowing this, Pang Yue's heart was mostly settled. Although the search team has not yet returned, judging from the previous progress. Most of the Qing army will eventually be caught, and even if a few fish slip through the net, they will not be able to make many big waves. And so it goes. There is also a lot less threat to the civilian population in the vicinity.

After Wang Dongri, Chen Bangyan, Cao Tianqi and others also came to the camp in Huguang Town, they were more curious than Wang Dongri, and they wanted to know why Huguang Town had such combat power. I want to see it.

Walk into the camp. Seeing the military appearance of the officers and men of Huguang Town who walked by in line from time to time in the camp, Chen Bangyan and the others were greatly amazed and almost full of praise. They could not see the slightest bit of decadence on the faces of every officer and soldier in Huguang Town, and all they could see was the high-spirited mental state of the officers and men and the strong self-confidence that could not be concealed.

"I can't imagine that the soldiers in the Dingwu Bo army are so fierce and elite, no wonder they can defeat more than 20,000 people of the thief Li Chengdong's department with less than 10,000 people." Cao Tianqi praised.

Chen Bangyan also nodded with feeling: "Mr. Cao is reasonable!" Chen thought that he had also recruited a lot of brave and warlike righteous soldiers, but compared with Dingwubo, it was far away, and it was not an exaggeration to even describe it as a world of difference. There are such elite soldiers serving the imperial court. It is really a blessing of the Ming Dynasty! ”

As for Cao Tianqi and Chen Bangyan's subordinates, Pang Yue has also seen them. Although Cao Tianqi's department is an official army. However, they had just been converted from the local people, and the number of people equipped with armor was only about one-fifth, and even iron weapons were not fully equipped, and some soldiers were fighting with wooden spears. As for the righteous teachers under Chen Bangyan's command, not to mention, almost only high-ranking generals are equipped with armor, and more than half of the soldiers do not even have uniform clothing, but only use red cloth to wrap their heads as a symbol, and the weapons in their hands are only wooden spears or even wooden sticks. The flags are also disorganized, and the whole team is still at the point where "command basically relies on roaring". After seeing this situation, Pang Yue also felt a lot of emotion in his heart, relying on such a level of equipment and training, how could the anti-Qing righteous division with enthusiasm for serving the country defeat the Qing army like a wolf and a tiger?

But this kind of thought Pang Yue naturally did not show it, and in fact, he did not mean to despise the Guangdong anti-Qing righteous master in the slightest. In any case, these righteous men can angrily raise the banner of anti-Qing righteousness, which is worthy of admiration, and no one has the qualifications to despise them. Therefore, after hearing the praise of Chen Bangyan and others, Pang Yue just smiled and excused himself: "Lord Chen and Cao Zongbing have won the award!" There have been many elite divisions in this dynasty, and compared to them, Huguang Town is just ordinary. What's more, there is no other way to practice in the camp, as long as you practice hard, you will see results one day. I think that at the beginning, when our Huguang Town first became an army, most of the soldiers were just ordinary people who had just put down their farm tools. It is precisely because of a strict drill program and insisting on three exercises a day that it gradually has some results after a few months. ”

"Three a day?" Chen Bangyan and Cao Tianqi were all surprised. You must know that the Qi family's army, which was famous and had great military achievements, was only a drill every three or five days, and even so, it was able to win more with less many times, and finally pacified the Japanese invaders, and there was almost no defeat. And Huguang Town is actually three exercises a day, no wonder it can have such a fierce combat effectiveness, and it can solve Li Chengdong's department in such a short time.

Faced with the surprise of the two, Pang Yue was unimpressed and smiled: "That's right. Well... It is estimated that the follow-up men led by Governor Yang will arrive in Qingyuan in two or three days. In the next few days, if Master Chen and General Cao have no objections, I can send some officers and veterans to explain to the officers and men of your department about the usual training methods. In addition, the captured Qing captives' armor and weapons are also all owned by your department, I only need some war horses, can you have any objections? ”

"How can we have any objections?" Overjoyed, Chen Bangyan and Cao Tianqi replied almost at the same time, and then the two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Pang Yue also laughed: "Okay, that's it!" ”

It didn't take long for Pang Yue, who was talking to Chen Bangyan and the others, to suddenly hear a burst of cheers from the direction of Yuanmen, and then the cheers quickly expanded and intensified.

Just as Pang Yue was about to send someone to inquire, a commander of the reconnaissance cavalry team suddenly ran over to this side, shouting excitedly as he ran: "Lord Qiyu, the thief Shi Fu has been captured!" (To be continued.) )
