Chapter Seventy-Six: Conflict

(New books for recommendation, collection!) The support of my friends is my biggest motivation! Please, please, and thank you very much! )

"You said you have 500 elite soldiers? Each one is like the ones you brought with you? Liu Mingfang was surprised, although he had not tested the level of the twenty people in the side courtyard, but it was certain that each of them was not weaker than the guards in the polder, and it was even very likely that they were much stronger.

Over the years, Liu Mingfang has also been accustomed to seeing soldiers from all over the world, even if it is the current Huai Army, many armies have also degenerated. He knew that his cousin Liu Mingchuan had been contacting old friends in the DPRK and China recently, and had continuously written to his old master, Li Hongzhang, and he was unwilling to be lonely and wanted to go out of the mountain again.

Once you go out of the mountain, you must have soldiers under your hands at that time, and only when you have soldiers can you have the right to speak. But now Liu Mingchuan doesn't have much say in the Huai army, unless the old master Li Hongzhang gives strong support. However, the current governors of various places are extremely strict in guarding the soldiers at the bottom of their hands, especially the elite soldiers who can go to the battlefield. When the time comes, I want to tell those people to divide the elite soldiers, hehe

Zhang Renjie came over with two teams just to show his strength. Of course, if he could, he would like to bring all the 500 Renzi battalions over, but if you move a large army, people will think that you are going to rebel! In Huai'an Mansion, there is no problem for you to run casually, but the key is that it is out of Jiangsu Province to Anhui.

"Second uncle doesn't believe it?"

"It's a little unbelievable!" Liu Mingfang nodded. "Well, you're better at this than me and your father. Let's go, let's go to the side courtyard now, I want to assess your soldiers, and take you back to see the polder, which will help you in the future! ”

As soon as he said this, the steward Ah Zhong ran in from outside the courtyard to report: "Oh no, uncle, the guards of the side courtyard and Young Master Zhang's people are fighting!" ”

"What?" Liu Mingfang and Zhang Renjie were both taken aback. Liu Mingfang just ordered the following to be entertained, but now in addition to this matter, is he slapping him in the face? And Zhang Renjie was worried that his subordinates would injure the Liu family, in which case things would be very difficult to clean up.

Liu Mingfang slapped the table: "Bastard, I want to see who is so bold, and my words don't work?!" After saying that, several people walked towards the side courtyard together.

The side courtyard was still a little far from here, but a few people walked quickly and arrived at the place in a few minutes.

Before entering the courtyard gate, I heard the sound of fighting.

"The third, the fifth, is responsible for the two wings and the crab formation. I don't believe it, these people still want to turn the world upside down! ”

The Liu family's escort team is also led by the children of the Liu family, and it is obvious that the children of the Liu family have picked it up when they hear the voice.

"Change into a swallow-shaped array!" This is Zhang Qishi's voice. "Kill!"

Zhang Renjie also didn't believe that his subordinates would cause trouble in other people's territory, and he had confessed before he came. They all have guns in their hands, but shooting in this Liu Laowei is undoubtedly the stupidest thing to do. Zhang Qishi and the soldiers all knew this, so they all withdrew the bullets in the chamber of the gun, after all, the fifty or sixty people of the Liu family's escort team on the opposite side were all holding wooden sticks in their pockets and did not use weapons.

The children of the Liu family are the same, they understand very well that this is just a battle of abnormal will, and it is absolutely impossible to shoot, otherwise Liu Mingfang will definitely not spare them afterwards.

After all, the children of the Liu family are from a military general family, and the escort team led by them is not unorganized, and they want to set up a crab formation to suppress Zhang Qishi and others when they are superior in numbers.

The crab claw formation is a kind of formation seen by the Qing army, which is divided into three teams when the formation is placed, and they are arranged in parallel. The middle team has a small number of people and a large number of people on both wings, which resembles crabs, so it is called a crab formation and also a crab chela formation. This kind of formation is extremely flexible, and it also changes a lot according to the enemy's situation. If the enemy is divided into only two teams, the left and right flanks will be divided between the squadrons of the formation, and they will also be divided into two teams. If the enemy has a team in the front and rear, the strikers on the left and right flanks will be combined into one team, and the rear half of the left and right flanks will be combined with the middle team to be evenly lined up, so that the front team will respond. If the enemy's left team has a large number of troops, it will become a left formation. If the right team has more soldiers, it will become a right formation. If the enemy has four or five teams, it will also be divided into four or five teams to meet the attack.

Zhang Qishi knew that he was not strong enough to disperse, otherwise he would be cut by the other party, scattered, surrounded and annihilated. Therefore, twenty people gathered together to form a circle formation, alternately attacking, and others covered when attacking, just a short moment ago, more than twenty people fell in the Liu family's escort team, and only two people were injured on the side of the Renzi battalion. The Liu family turned into a crab claw array, and Zhang Qishi also quickly changed into a swallow-shaped array again, seizing the opportunity to take the initiative to attack its hinterland.

Due to the short distance between the two sides, after all, it is in a courtyard, and it will rush to the front in a few seconds. The Liu family's team couldn't react in time, and was led to the center by Zhang Qishi. In the end, they couldn't be heavy-handed, so the Liu family guards who fell were basically poked by the tip of the gun, or smashed by the butt of the gun a few times.

Don't underestimate these two times, the strength in the hands of the soldiers is not small, they were pushed out by the muzzle, and the bones were not broken, so it was not much better, and suddenly the Liu family couldn't get up in pain. The same is true for those who were hit by the butt of the gun, but no one on Zhang Qishi's side has fallen so far, even if he was knocked with a few wooden sticks, he still gritted his teeth and held on.

"Stop!" Liu Mingfang entered the courtyard and saw the people lying on the ground in the courtyard, and he immediately became angry.

He had already determined that today's incident was provoked by the children of the Liu family, Zhang Renjie brought his subordinates to Liu Laowei, that is, the guests, and the twenty men were not fools, and it was absolutely impossible to take the initiative to cause trouble in Liu Laowei.

"Look at your bear-like, are you still a child of my Liu family?" Liu Mingfang turned his head to Ah Zhong and asked, "Ah Zhong, I asked you to inform the good students here to entertain all the little brothers, did you order?" ”

The steward who was called Ah Zhong immediately replied: "Uncle, I ordered to go down, it's just"

"It's just that these bastards don't take my word for it!" Liu Mingfang glared angrily at several Liu family disciples: "These little brothers are guests from afar, this is how you treat guests?" When this matter spreads, what will others say about our Liu family? Could it be that everyone else knows that this is our Liu family's hospitality? ”

"Little Wu, you say, what's going on?!"

One of the leaders who also participated in the siege just now, Liu Yinglin, who was ranked fifth among the juniors of the Liu family, was named, and had to stand up and say: "Uncle, it's actually nothing, we are learning martial arts with these brothers, not what you think!" ”

"Yo, you've learned to lie, right, see how I treat you when I turn around! San'er, you say! ”

Liu Yingqi, the third in line, grinned and said reluctantly: "Uncle, it's really nothing, just now we just wanted to see the guns in the hands of the brothers opposite." Their guns are different from those in our house, and the brothers are just a novelty! ”

"Yes, yes, that's it, nothing, really nothing!" Liu Yingxi, the eldest of the Liu family, is Liu Mingfang's son, and he was so busy that he couldn't stop nodding his head.

Liu Mingfang didn't believe that things were just so simple, he turned his head to Zhang Renjie, Zhang Renjie had already listened to Zhang Qishi's return just now. The children of the Liu family have an arrogant attitude, and they ask for guns to play tricks when they come up. For the soldiers of the Renzi Battalion, the gun is the second life, and the gun is not left when going out, this is Zhang Renjie's rule. When they slept at night, they all threw their guns by the bedside, so the children of the Liu family came to ask for guns, but of course the soldiers refused to give them.

"Second uncle, this is really nothing, the young man is angry, and he just said a few words. It is imperative to take the wounded brother and put some medicine and wine on it, because it will not be good for the injury after a long time! Zhang Renjie also said with some embarrassment. The people lying on the ground were all guards of the Liu family, a total of nearly thirty people. Although there were injured on the side of the Renzi Battalion, no one fell, and the battle strength was judged. But after all, it was Zhang Qishi who beat people in other people's places, even if they were reasonable, they would feel embarrassed!

"Hahaha, well, it seems that these soldiers of yours are really good. If this is really on the battlefield, it must be ten for one?! Hahaha, don't worry about your soldiers, I didn't blame them, these boys of my Liu family have always been used to being above the top, and it's a good thing to let them suffer a little setback. I see that the soldiers under your command are all carrying guns, and they are very skilled, I don't know how to shoot? ”

"Second Uncle wants to know, let them show it!"

"Okay, go to the back mountain shooting range!"
