"Just now, the cavalry brigade Lou Ting sent someone to report, but there has been no movement." Liu Zhaoji said.

"The grenade has been ringing here for a long time, can't he hear it there?" Luo Jian was worried that it would be early in the morning, and the voice would spread far away, and Geng Jimao's troops would hear it.

"Report to the Metropolitan Governor, Qinlan Town is still more than thirty miles away from here, and I can't hear it there." Li Chengdong stepped forward and said that he had stayed here before, and he was more familiar with the terrain here than Liu Zhaoji.

"Xinghua, do you want to continue to attack Geng Jimao's troops?" Shi Kefa asked beside him

"Yes, it's a rare opportunity, this Xu Dingguo was annihilated too quickly, I think Geng Jimao must not be prepared, which is very beneficial to our assault." Luo Jian said.

"Xinghua, you have to be careful, there are a lot of cavalry in the Tianyou Army this day, and it is much more difficult to surround them than to surround Xu Dingguo, and besides, it is already broad daylight, and there is no possibility of a surprise attack." Shi Kefa was worried.

As he was talking, Luo Jian heard a familiar roar, and walked to the top to see that it was the warrior car driving in this direction, and Wang Qiang had already stuck his head out of the skylight.

After a while, the warrior car arrived next to a few people and stopped, Liu Weimin walked down from the car, walked to Luo Jian, saluted and said, "Chief, Liu Weimin is here to report." ”

It turned out that Liu Weimin rushed back to the compound early this morning, and heard that Steward Luo said that Luo Jian took the first division to fight Xu Dingguo, but saw that the warrior car was still parked in the courtyard.

Liu Weimin was in a hurry at that time, worried about Luo Jian's safety, pulled a guard to lead the way, jumped in the car and started the car, and drove out of the east gate in the direction of Yangshou Town.

When I arrived at Yangshou Town, the battle was over. When Wang Qiang saw the car coming, he happily got into the car, and while telling him about the annihilation of Xu Dingguo, he pointed to the road and rushed towards Luo Jian.

"Don't worry about Geng Jimao's cavalry now." Luo Jian happily pointed to the warrior car and said to Shi Kefa.

"Hurry up and gather all the cavalry and follow the armored vehicles to assault the Heavenly Blessing Army! The Xuzhou army, led by Mrs. Xing, escorted the prisoners back to the camp to rest; The 1st Division concentrated all the bombardiers into the 1st and 2nd regiments, led by Ma Yingkui, and then marched to catch up, and the remaining two regiments also returned to the camp to rest. Luo Jian gave orders to Liu Zhaoji and Li Chengdong.

"Xinghua, you're not going to go in person, are you?" Shi Kefa said with some concern.

"Overseer, are you still worried about my safety?" Luo Jian pointed to the warrior car and said with a smile.

Most of the cavalry of the first division were already in front, and only a few were scattered, and Liu Zhaoji heard that more than 100 war horses had been captured from Xu Dingguo, so that the soldiers who could ride horses also rode over, and this time they also made up more than 200 horses.

The cavalry of the Xuzhou army was more than the first division, with six or seven hundred cavalry, and Li Chengdong personally brought it over after completing the team. Luo Jian called Li Chengdong over and explained that the cavalry should follow the armored car and assault, not fight against Geng Jimao's cavalry, so as not to lose too much.

Wang Qiang got into the armored car, and the remaining five riflemen had no one to command, Luo Jian saw Zhao Quan beside him and was eager to try, and said to him: "You take five riflemen and fifty bombardiers to protect the left wing, and after meeting Lou Ting, let the other five riflemen led by Wang Zecheng protect the right wing." ”

Zhao Quanzheng was annoyed that he did not participate in the battle just now, and when he heard Luo Jian say this, he happily saluted from his horse and said "obey".

"Let's go!" Luo Jian waved and got into the car.

The quality of the official road from Yangzhou to Tianchang County is very good, and the warrior car can easily run to forty yards, not to wait for the cavalry behind, Xiao Liu can run up to sixty or seventy casually.

"Xiao Liu, why did you run back today? What happened to several factories? ”

"Chief, it's going well, I came back to check some information, and I heard that you came out to fight, so I drove over."

"By the way, Xiao Liu, where did you fool Chen Zilong and Chen Qincha?" Luo Jian almost forgot about this.

"Chief, where did you fool him, the two of us chatted, talked about fertilizer, I said that phosphate fertilizer can improve crop yield, he asked where there is phosphate fertilizer, I said I have to go up the mountain to find it, so he took a dozen people to the mountain to find phosphate mines."

Hearing Liu Weimin say this, Luo Jian felt really relieved, in this era, there are not only big traitors like Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and Xu Dingguo, but also national heroes like Shi Kefa, Liu Zhaoji and Chen Zilong, because of them, the soul of this nation is still there.

Historically, Chen Zilong was unwilling to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water. Luo Jian thought to himself, this kind of tragedy must not be allowed to happen again.

"Chief, Wang Zecheng and a few of them also cut their hair short, saying that they want to learn from me." Wang Qiang's words interrupted Luo Jian's contemplation.

"Oh, doesn't it say, 'The skin of the body is not to be lightly damaged by the parents of the body'? How did they figure it out? Luo Jian asked.

"I'm covered in gray every day, my short hair can be washed with water, their long hair is too troublesome, they said so at first, but then it was too uncomfortable, so I didn't care so much." Wang Qiang said with a smile.

Luo Xiang listened, and thought that he had to do a few jobs with Liu Zhaoji and them, this long hair is very easy to get lice, and the health in the army starts from this.

Xiao Liu slowed down the speed of the car, and the cavalry behind him couldn't keep up, and it was not okay to let the horses run all the time for these thirty miles, so they had to leave enough horsepower to charge.

Li Chengdong was a little dizzy on the horse, and the night before yesterday he promised Luo Jian and Shi Kefa to participate in the reorganization and training, and when he went back in the evening, he had been thinking about how to keep more men and horses of the Xuzhou Army, so that the strength of his second division would exceed that of the first division, but today's battle had subverted his cognition.

He knew that because of the grenades, the casualties of the first division were much smaller, but he definitely didn't expect it to be so small. He also knew that the intensive training of the First Division was still short, and if the time was long, what other troops in the world would be the opponent of the First Division?

Stretching out and touching the walkie-talkie in his arms, Li Chengdong felt that this gadget was really a good thing. Xu Dingguo almost ran away just now, wasn't it that the Metropolitan Governor used this to call Wang Qiang to block Xu Dingguo? Thinking of Wang Qiang's shot at Xu Dingguoma, he felt that this rifle was a divine weapon, no wonder Liu Zhaoji covered it like a baby, for fear that he would rob him. I didn't dare to ask the Metropolitan Governor for it, I just hoped that I would make more meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and the Metropolitan Governor might reward him with one when he was happy.

In his thoughts, he saw a few riders in front of the warrior cart, and the warrior cart also stopped.

A few horsemen were sent by Lou Ting, and a knight turned over and dismounted and came to the warrior cart, raised his hand and saluted, and reported the situation ahead to Luo Jian.

The cavalry brigade of the first division is already waiting in front, there are still five or six miles away from Geng Jimao's camp, Wang Zecheng and they have already knocked out the scouts sent by Geng Jimao, but the Tianyou army seems to have heard the gunshots, and now there is a lot of movement in the camp.

Luo Jian asked Xiao Liu to move on, and took out the walkie-talkie to ask Liu Zhaoji and Li Chengdong to slow down.

The car turned a corner and entered a mountain recess, and saw Lou Ting's cavalry brigade waiting here, and Wang Zecheng and several people lying on the hillside on guard.

Luo Jian asked Xiao Liu to stop the car, got out of the car with a telescope and walked to the mountain bag. When Wang Zecheng and the others saw Luo Jian coming, they were about to get up and salute, but Luo Jian waved his hand to stop them.

Luo Jian raised his binoculars and looked carefully at the camp of the Tianyou Army in front of him, and did not see a trench or anything like that, Luo Jian was overjoyed, it seems that Geng Jimao thought that there was Xu Dingguo in front of him, and he was safer here, so he didn't do these things at all. It's just that the front of the camp is relatively open, and it is obviously impossible to raid.

There were already many people running around in the camp, and it looked like they were about to evacuate, which made Luo Jian anxious. Raising the binoculars and looking back, Ma Yingkui's infantry didn't even see a shadow.

went down the hill, beckoned Liu Zhaoji and Li Chengdong to come over, and said: "There is already movement in the camp of the Tianyou Army, it looks like we are going to run, we can't wait for the infantry army to come, rush over first, don't let them run, the speed must be fast, and the charge must be fierce." ”

Liu Zhaoji raised his hand and saluted and said "obey", and Li Chengdong, who was clasping his fists and saluting, took a look, withdrew his hand, and saluted indecently and said "obey".

The warrior car was unhurriedly heading towards the camp of the Tianyou Army, Wang Qiang had already put on his helmet and drilled out of the skylight, and the cavalry behind did not speed up, so he slowly pressed towards the front.

The Tianyou Army in the camp had already seen it, and the camp was in chaos.

Geng Jimao never dreamed that the Yangzhou army would attack today, he calculated how Xu Dingguo could stand up to the front for a day or two, at least he would send someone to him for help, and he knew that the Yangzhou army was coming. Now Xu Dingguo didn't send anyone to ask for help at all, why did the Yangzhou army come directly to him?

Seeing that Liu Zhong's barracks on the right were already in chaos, Geng Jimao was a little disdainful, after all, the rogue is a rogue and can't stand a little thing, this Yangzhou army is still two miles away, so it will be like this.

The Tianyou army was busy, but it was not chaotic, which made Geng Jimao a little proud, he asked his generals to take the fire guns to wait in front of the camp, and the fire guns were all behind the shield car, and the fire guns on the strange car also pierced the shield car.

Geng Jimao led the cavalry behind the camp, if the front blocked the strange car, he would take the cavalry to attack from the flanks and rear, and the cavalry of the Yangzhou army would definitely not be his opponent.

Luo Jian had already seen the situation in the camp in front of him in the car, and used the walkie-talkie to inform Liu Zhaoji that the main attack was already a messy camp on the right, and Li Chengdong led the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army to follow behind the warrior car and assault the Tianyou Army head-on.

Wang Qiang saw on the roof of the car that there were a lot of shields standing on the car and the firecrackers hiding behind the shields in the camp in front of him, and the shields standing on the cars were obviously much thicker than ordinary shields, and he sneered in his heart, just want to block the machine gun bullets?

Two hundred meters later, Luo Jian still didn't give the order to shoot, Li Chengdong rode a horse and followed behind the warrior car, and was a little worried when he saw the fence in front of him that was much stronger than the Xuding State Camp, thinking that all he brought was cavalry, how could he rush through this wooden wall?

It's a hundred meters, and if you go any further, you'll be in the range of the firebolt. "Hit!" Luo Jian roared, and the clatter of machine guns immediately sounded on the roof of the car.

Li Chengdong rode on his horse and looked forward, and saw that the thick fence at the mouth of the bowl did not stop the machine gun bullets, and the shield cart was still standing there, but the musketeers behind him fell one after another.

Wang Qiang's machine gun swept back and forth along a large fan, and no one was standing behind the fence except for the Tianyou sergeant who fell to the ground and cried. The warrior car had also arrived only 20 meters away from the camp, and Wang Zecheng and a few riflemen did not shoot, but just got off the horse and followed closely after the warrior cart. Seeing that it was already close to the fence, Wang Zecheng beckoned, and more than a dozen bombardiers immediately came up behind him and threw the grenades that had been pulled in their hands towards the fence.

Li Chengdong was stunned when he sat on the horse, and the horse under his crotch was almost startled, and he finally stopped it. When I looked up again, I saw that after the grenade exploded, the warrior car started again and rushed towards the fence, and when it reached the fence, I heard a roar, and a puff of black smoke erupted from the back of the warrior car, and then the fence had been knocked down.

The cart toppled the fence and did not rush forward, but reversed, turned around and passed the fence next to it.

Li Chengdong was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, raised his saber at the cavalry behind, and shouted loudly: "Prepare to attack!" ”

After knocking down a fence again, the warrior cart went directly to the camp, Wang Zecheng took two riflemen on one side, and the rifles in his hand also fired, and the foot soldiers of the Tianyou Army retreated to both sides like a tide, leaving a corpse behind.

Li Chengdong held a long knife and shouted, "Rush! The horses rushed in from the fallen fence, and the cavalry behind them were not to be left behind, and they followed with their horses.

From the moment the fence was knocked down, Geng Jimao fled to the northwest with more than 1,000 cavalry of the Tianyou Army.

Luo Jian saw Geng Jimao's cavalry starting to flee in the car, and hurriedly asked Liu Weimin to drive after him. The road surface was extremely uneven, and the speed of the warrior car could not be raised at all, Xiao Liu looked at Luo Jian helplessly. Only Wang Qiang, who was on the roof of the car, still relentlessly saw Geng Jimao off with a machine gun, and the cavalry of the Tianyou Army, who was running slowly, was knocked off his horse from time to time.

Luo Jian got out of the car with a rifle, stood by the car and watched the Xuzhou army chasing the infantry of the Tianyou army, the camp was full of cavalry cavalry of the Xuzhou army with swords and Tianyou army kneeling all over the ground.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army was carrying a knife and slashing at the Qing soldiers kneeling on the ground, Luo Jian suddenly became anxious, asked Xiao Liu to take the horn out of the car, and shouted at the camp: "Don't stop killing prisoners!" ”

A Yangzhou cavalryman holding a saber was bending down towards a prisoner kneeling on the ground, hearing Luo Jian's shout, the saber drew an arc, went around the back of the captive's head, and actually cut off the rat tail behind the captive's head, so frightened that the captive hugged his head, found that the head was still there, and immediately collapsed to the ground.

Hearing Luo Jian's shout, Li Chengdong was stunned for a moment, and instantly reacted, and then shouted: "Don't kill prisoners!" ”

As the sound of "no prisoners allowed" came out, the resistance of the Qing soldiers suddenly collapsed, and more Qing soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt on the side of the road.

Liu Zhong's 5,000 men and horses quickly collapsed after Liu Zhaoji's first division threw a dozen grenades, and Liu Zhong had already run away. The unorganized troops of the original Dashun army scurried around like headless flies, and were driven back by Liu Zhaoji and the cavalry like sheep, and finally squeezed into a ball in the middle of the camp.

As Liu Zhaoji shouted "surrender or kill", these routs threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Towards the end of the battle, Ma Yingkui finally arrived with his foot soldiers.

Ma Yingkui, who was riding on a horse, looked at Geng Jimao's camp blankly, thinking to himself what am I bringing people here for?

Before Ma Yingkui could react, the herald sent by Luo Jian arrived, asking him to immediately lead people to clean up the battlefield and guard the prisoners. Ma Yingkui, who woke up, hurriedly took two regiments to collect prisoners and clean up the battlefield.

This battle was very fruitful, and Geng Jimao's grain and grass were all in the camp, which allowed Luo Jian to harvest a full hundred and fifty carts of grain and horse feed.

Luo Jian looked at the watch in his hand, it was not even twelve o'clock, and this morning he had two battles and two victories, completely annihilating Xu Dingguo and Liu Zhongbu, and Geng Jimao's infantry was all left.

With the annihilation of these Qing soldiers, the threat of Yangzhou has been completely lifted, which makes Luo Jian feel very good.

Liu Zhaoji and Li Chengdong both ran to Luo Jian's side, equally excited.

"Governor, this battle is really too painful!" This is what Li Chengdong is saying, in this assault on Geng Jimao's troops, his cavalry only lost a dozen horses, and they were all wounded by bows and arrows and firecrackers in the process of pursuit.

When Li Chengdong turned around and wanted to ask about the losses of the first division, he saw Liu Zhaoji looking at him with a smile.
