"The last general will see the big handsome!"

"See the big handsome!"

......

On the edge of the Yuanshui, He Guoyuan and Chen Shangtu, who were directing the soldiers to dock and disembark, saw Pang Yue and others arriving and hurriedly saluted. Behind them, the www.biquge.info officers and men of the Fubo Battalion who had already landed also followed suit, shouting loudly.

Pang Yue stepped forward with a smile and helped the two up: "Wan Chuan (He Guoyuan), Yun Ting (Chen Shangtu), you have worked hard!" And all the soldiers of the Fubo Battalion, you have all worked hard! At the beginning in Guangzhou, Fubo Camp was an eye-catching rising star in Huguang Town. It was formed the latest, but in terms of morale and hard work, it did not let the old battalions such as Flying Tiger and Trap Battle. At present, although he has traveled thousands of miles, he is also full of energy and morale, and he does not show any fatigue. This kind of military style can be called excellent, which is really commendable! Sure enough, I wasn't mistaken! ”

"The handsome man has won the award, and the last general will not dare to be ashamed!"

"What's not to dare to do? Now that you have arrived in Chenzhou, you can be regarded as returning home, and you don't have to be so polite! Let the soldiers finish their work and go back to the city to rest in a while. I've got the Fireheads ready to pick you up. ”

"Thank you, Boss!"

"Did you go all the way?"

"Thanks to the careful arrangements made by the marshal in advance, the journey was still smooth, even if there were some small winds and waves, it was not enough." He Guoyuan replied with some confidence.

He Guoyuan, who is the battalion officer of the Fubo battalion, is a native of Nanzhili and a fisherman. In his early thirties, he was tall and thin, sturdy, and dark-skinned. He was originally the deputy battalion officer of the trapping camp, because of his early experience and familiarity with water warfare. Only then was Pang Yue transferred to the newly formed Fubo Battalion Officer, and was promoted from guerrilla to general, becoming the fifth general in Huguang Town after Shi Lang. It can be regarded as high-spirited.

This time, the Fubo camp returned to Chenzhou from Guangzhou, although there was no pain of crossing the mountains and mountains, but the waterway was winding and not close. The 3,000 officers and men of the battalion set out from Guangzhou, first along the Xijiang River to the west to Wuzhou Prefecture in Guangxi, then drove into the Li River and headed northwest through Pingle County to Guilin Prefecture, then entered the artificial canal Lingqu, and arrived at Xing'an County about 150 miles northeast. Xing'an County is the confluence of Lingqu and Xiangshui. The Fubo camp sailed into Xiangshui here, and went northeast through Quanzhou to Yongzhou Mansion and entered the territory of Huguang. After that, go north along the Xiangshui road. Enter Dongting Lake through Hengzhou Mansion, Changsha Mansion and Xiangyin County, and then drive more than 200 miles west in the lake to Longyang County, Changde Prefecture, and enter Yuanshui here, and drive nearly 400 miles southwest to Chenzhou.

The whole journey stretches for more than 2,000 miles. The whole route looks like a question mark on the map.

"That's what the general said. Our battalion has not encountered any major storms along the way, but as for minor troubles, it has encountered one. Deputy battalion officer Chen Shangtu said with a smile.

Chen Shangtu is the second son of Chen Zizhuang, the word jade book, about twenty-four or five years old, and he has a fame. looks like a talent, with a tall figure, a face like a crown of jade, and eyes like stars. Since childhood, he has studied both civil and military. He likes to read military books and has a bold temperament. Good at making friends with heroes from all over the world. When Chen Zizhuang raised troops against the Qing Dynasty to form a water division, he also personally went into the tiger's den to persuade the leader of a water thief to lead his troops to join, and then he has been arranged by Chen Zizhuang to serve in the water division. Because of his familiarity with military books and his many actual combat experiences, his military progress was quite rapid. When Pang Yue formed the Fubo Battalion, Chen Zizhuang sent this over to show his support.

In view of his own talent, and taking into account Chen Zizhuang's relationship and the feelings of the Cantonese officers and soldiers in the Fubo battalion, Pang Yue appointed him as the deputy battalion officer of the Fubo battalion and awarded him the rank of guerrilla. At this time, I heard him say that he encountered a little trouble on the way, and I was also curious in my heart, so I asked, "I don't know what the little trouble in Yun Ting's mouth is?" ”

"It's not a big deal, after our battalion entered Dongting Lake that day, we didn't go far before we encountered a group of water pirates. This group of fanatics really dared to act recklessly, and when they saw the banner of our army, they had no intention of backing down, but rushed over and ordered us to stay and buy road silver. Haha, it's really funny! Chen Shangtu smiled heartily, looking at his expression, it didn't seem like he had encountered a water thief, but it seemed like he saw a group of children pretending to be adults and blocking the road.

He Guoyuan added: "Seeing that the gang of water thieves were so self-sufficient, and the last general didn't talk nonsense with them, he immediately ordered to open fire and sink several of their boats in three or two blows. The pirates had few small ships and cannons, and their bows and arrows could not resist our army's guns and rockets, and they soon had no power to fight back. Unexpectedly, these birdmen are also very brave, and they can't deal with us in a dignified array, so they frequently make strange moves. On the one hand, they were entangled with our army on the water, and on the other hand, they sent a large number of water-based experts to attack from the bottom of the water, scuttling two of our army's sentry boats, and constantly climbing on our army's sand boats and thunder boats in an attempt to turn the situation around. How do they know that our Mr. Liu Qian and Mr. Lu Qian are veterans in this business, and it is more than enough to be their ancestors. The two thousand commanders led the elite under their command to press up, and in less than half an hour, they killed the water thieves who were underwater and climbed onto the boat. The water thieves saw that they really couldn't take advantage of it, so they had to flee away. In the end, the results of the battle were counted, and our army beheaded a total of one hundred and three enemy heads and sank twelve enemy ships. Our army suffered more than 30 casualties, including seven killed in battle, and lost one sentinel ship. ”

Pang Yue nodded: "You guys did a good job!" The pirates are too strong to rob the official ship, and they really deserve to die. After this battle, presumably they should also know that the sailors of my Huguang Town are not the local sailors who used to be like wine bags and rice bags, and they can't help them talk about the Eight Hundred Miles Dongting. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that our battalion needed to come to Chenzhou as soon as possible, we would have to catch up and destroy their bandits!" Speaking of this, Chen Shangtu put away his smile, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, "The arrogance of this gang of thieves is really rare, even if they lost a game, they still sent small boats to follow us far away when our army left, until our army went to Longyang County on the west bank of Dongting." If we don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots in the coming day, how can we correct the military power of our town? ”

Pang Yue said: "I have known a lot about this situation of bandits before. Its bandits have been entrenched for many years on Heishan Island in the depths of Dongting Lake and some small islands in the northeast of Longyang County. The leader of the bandits is called Song Heihu, and there are 2,000 minions under his command, all of whom are outlaws. On weekdays, fishermen and merchants are intercepted and killed, and all kinds of evil are done, and the people are very angry. In recent years, the government has repeatedly attacked and suppressed in vain, but has lost its troops and lost its generals, which has also fueled their arrogance. That's why I dare to intercept you with fewer strikes and more. ”

"In that case, why didn't the marshal give an order as soon as possible and suppress this group of bandits who don't know the height of the sky? At that time, although the last general is not talented, he is also willing to lead the athletes in the camp as pioneers! ”

Pang Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, listen to me." Now that the situation in Hubei has changed, our town is about to send troops, and this stumbling block in Dongting Lake has also reached the time when it must be moved. I've already started to make deployments, and I'm waiting for you to come. Therefore, Yun Ting should not worry about my delay in giving the order, you should consider how long it will take you to prepare after I give the order? How long will it take to take Montenegro? ”

Hearing this, not only Chen Shangtu, but even He Guoyuan was in high spirits, and he hugged his fists first: "Please rest assured, the three thousand athletes of my Fubo battalion are ready to fight at any time, even if the commander orders now, my battalion can pull out the anchor immediately!" ”

"Not now, but not too late. Several Tartar reinforcements in Henan went south, and Wang Guangtai of Xiangyang was in a hurry, and all battalions in our town had been mobilized before the war, and they would officially send troops at the beginning of next month at the latest. If we do not get a good grasp of cleaning up the channel of Dongting Lake, I am afraid that the journey of the army will not be quiet at that time. In this way, you should take time to rest and replenish your provisions. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will have to set out again. What objections can there be? ”

"Obey the orders of the commander!"

"Good! The riverside is windy, and the specific details will be discussed in the city. ”

"Yes!"

......

In Dongting Lake, Black Mountain Island

This is one of the larger islands in the lake, more than 100 miles away from Longyang County on the southwest coast, just near the junction of Yuezhou Mansion and Changde Mansion. The island has a radius of two or three miles, the terrain is relatively flat, and the vegetation is abundant. There are also several small islands with a radius of more than a mile or even less than a mile on the surrounding lake, which form a starry moon for Montenegrin Island, and also provide a good port for ships.

When the clouds rise and the sky rises, the endless surface of the lake is sparkling, and if you look down from the height, Montenegro and its affiliated islands look like several deep emerald gems set in a vast expanse of pale green satin.

The islands are now encamped, and the lakes are full of boats, large and small. The camp on Montenegro Island is the largest, the central building is still a brick structure of the house, and the plaque hanging on the main hall will make the first person laugh dumbly, and there are three big characters on the dragon flying and phoenix dancing: Zhongyi Hall.

In the hall, the bandit leader Song Heihu was thundering, grabbed a tea bowl next to him and smashed it, and kicked a small leader to the ground with a flying kick, scolding: "Fuck! You waste who only knows how to eat and drink Lazar, you can't even do such a thing! Provoke Lao Tzu, put your waste into a bamboo cage and throw it into the lake to feed the fish! ”

The little boss hurriedly got up, kowtowed and begged for mercy one after another: "The big boss spares his life!" Spare your life! Small...... The small one only knows that the officer and army sailor division has passed through Changde and headed for Chenzhou, and the current situation is really unknown. The small ones originally wanted to investigate with the past, but the rear team of the officers and soldiers was heavily guarded, and there were many teams of secret sentries along the way, and the small ones were really ..... I really couldn't get by, and a few of the brothers who went with me were caught and beheaded on the spot, and the younger ones also escaped death and rushed back to report to the big boss. Beg...... Ask for mercy from the big boss! (To be continued.) )
