Qiao Fu has not done anything else in Shandong for many years, almost ninety percent of his efforts have been spent on military training, and he usually arranges soldiers to clear out local bandits, fight pirates, and fight in the south and the north.

The trained men and horses are no worse than the most elite soldiers in Liaodong, although Zhang Xianzhong is said to have tens of thousands of people, but he doesn't care, let alone three thousand elite soldiers, even a thousand people, can also defeat Zhang Xianzhong, this is the heroic spirit of the Yizhou soldiers!

It's just one thing to be defeated, and it's another thing to be able to find Zhang Xianzhong.

The biggest characteristic of the Liukou is that he has no fixed place to live, and he is running around, don't look at Zhang Xianzhong staying in Fuyang at the moment, but once he hears the wind, he may run away.

And no matter how many times the rogues are defeated, they don't feel distressed, anyway, there are countless homeless, and they can pull up the team at any time, as long as the safety of dozens or even a dozen people in the core is guaranteed, they can keep reborn.

It is not easy to deal with such an enemy.

Qiao Fu's strategy was to win by speed, abandoning the large army, 3,000 soldiers, all of whom prepared war horses, each with dry food, day and night, from Shandong to Nanzhili, through Xuzhou, all the way to Fuyang.

After leaving the canal, the land became more and more desolate, and the land was abandoned. You can often meet people who are unclothed, carrying wooden sticks and begging for food with broken bowls.

After encountering the officers and soldiers, the people seemed to see the plague god, and they crawled and turned around and ran.

Soldiers are like bandits, bandits are like soldiers, and soldiers and bandits are a family.

At the point of being like this, it's no wonder that there are wanderers everywhere.

Qiao Fu has no time to care about these, he has only one purpose, that is, to kill Zhang Xianzhong, the Yizhou soldiers are famous all over the world, since they want to deal with the rogues, the first battle must be fought beautifully, and everyone must be convinced.

After drinking the water from his skin, he turned and got on his horse. The army continued on its march for three days and nights, with only three hours of rest in between, and the soldiers were well-trained, but they were also exhausted.

Some were even left behind, and there were only more than 2,700 people left around Qiao Fu.

There are still thirty miles away from Fuyang, and because of the sparse population along the way, Qiao Fu thought that the Liukou should not know that the official army had arrived, so he chose a place near the mountains and rivers and set up camp. Let the soldiers hurry up and eat some dry food, rest quickly, recover their strength, and meet the battle below.

Seeing that night was falling, a few sentries suddenly ran over, and they carried two ragged civilians to Qiao Fu.

"Qiyu Town, we met these two boys, they are ghostly. Doesn't look like a good guy. ”

When Qiao Fu heard this, he also paid attention to the past, although these two people were dressed in tatters, their small faces were pitch black. But the body is strong, and the limbs are thick, not like ordinary people.

"Who are you? Why watch our army? ”

The leader was a little taller, and he looked up. looked at Qiao Fu, and suddenly said, "May I ask the general, are you Qiao Fu, the chief soldier of Shandong." Mistress Joe? ”

"Good eyes, who sent you?"

When these two people heard this, they were suddenly overjoyed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"My lord, we've been looking forward to you!"

Seeing their excited appearances, it didn't seem to be fake, Qiao Fu couldn't help but be puzzled, and asked, "Are you from the Yizhou soldiers?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, we don't have that blessing, but Lord Lu promised us, as long as we can help the Yizhou soldiers eliminate the Liukou, we can go home again and reunite with our relatives, and we will also reward Tian and silver, we are all looking forward to this day!"

Qiao Fu suddenly remembered something, and when he left, Zhang Ke specially instructed him that among the rogues, there were a lot of internal responses, and when necessary, these people could help a lot.

After some inquiry, Qiao Fu finally figured it out.

It turned out that when Zhang Ke laid off a large number of people in Xuanda, he also secretly conducted an investigation and found out some people who were quite good and clever enough, so that they could blend in with the rogues and become the internal response of the Yizhou soldiers. Once the two sides are engaged, they must provide clues to help the Yiju soldiers win the battle.

Success is no accident, the world just sees the Yizhou soldiers look at it, and they are invincible. Zhang Ke has put too much effort behind the scenes, all of which others don't know, and it is precisely because of these hole cards that Zhang Ke has enough confidence to succeed.

"Qiqi Qiao Zongzhen, our brother was notified three days ago that your army was coming, and we have been observing the movements of the thief Zhang Xianzhong for the past few days."

"Any news?"

"My lord, since Zhang Xianzhong came to Fuyang, he has killed stolen officials and bullies everywhere, opened warehouses and released grain, which has won the hearts of the people, and many ordinary people have been confused by him, and he has more than 20,000 people under his name."

Qiao Fu smiled indifferently and said: "No matter how many sheep there are, they are not the opponent of the tiger, you just have to say where Zhang Xianzhong is, and this official naturally has a way to deal with him." ”

"Yes, Qi Qi Qiao Zongzhen, the thief went to Funan yesterday to wait for food, and in terms of time, he will be able to return to Fuyang at noon tomorrow."

"Oh, how many men did he take?" Qiao Fu asked again.

"I took 5,000 people with me when I left, and maybe when I come back, I can recruit more, but I shouldn't worry about it."

"Okay!"

Qiao Fu shook his fist violently, it was really God's help, if Zhang Xianzhong was hiding in Fuyang, it would really be difficult to say that he would take him down and get out of the city, it would be a dead end, and no one would be able to stop him!

He hurriedly asked his staff officers to take the map and carefully questioned the two people, both of whom knew everything and said everything. When they were originally in Datong, they were also minor officials, and they had seen the Yizhou soldiers kill the Tartars.

For them, they are not optimistic about a mass of loose sand at all, and they treat Qiao Fu like a god.

The night passed, and the tired Ming army finally regained their strength, took out dry and hard cakes, added a few pieces of dried meat, and after filling their stomachs, they immediately began to move.

Bypassing Fuyang City, I came to the southwest road, which is the only way for Zhang Xianzhong.

On both sides of the road were green wheat fields, and the people had fled, and the fields were barren with grass and wheat. Looking further on both sides, there are a few low mountain beams, among a patch of trees, and a few buildings, I don't know if they are temples or ancestral halls.

Qiao Fu observed for a long time and nodded secretly, although it was not a very good ambush position, but it was enough.

He brought 3,000 men and horses, and Qiao Fu arranged only 1,000 men, divided into two teams, and hid in wheat fields and hills, waiting for an ambush. As for the other 2,000 men and horses, they were on guard on the periphery, especially in the direction of Fuyang City, so as to save the rogue reinforcements from killing.

As the minutes passed, Qiao Fu quickly arranged his troops, and the soldiers nervously prepared.

It was close to noon, and suddenly a soldier came running.

"The Rogue has appeared!"

Qiao Fu was shocked and hurriedly ordered to prepare.

In the middle of the ranks, there were many wagons and ox carts, and many women were crying and crying, and the soldiers on both sides stretched out their black paws from time to time to take advantage of them.

The leader is a middle-aged man, with a full beard, particularly prominent eyes, fierce light, holding a horsewhip in his hand, quite proud.

"This time, we got 13,000 stone of grain, plus the stored grain in Fuyang, enough to eat for a few months, even if Zhang Ke sends troops over, Lao Tzu can fight him to the end, I want to see what the Yizhou soldiers are so powerful."

"Great Commander Shengming, I heard that Zhang Ke's men and horses have passed through Xuzhou and entered the territory of Huai'an, it won't be long before they should be killed, and you will be able to show your skills."

"Hehehe, Gao Yingxiang and Chuang Blind are cowards, don't dare to hit hard, I'm not afraid. Even if you lose, it's a big deal to run, within a few months, Lao Tzu is a good man again! ”

Zhang Xianzhong was laughing loudly, and suddenly birds flew in the woods in the distance, the soldiers were stunned, and some people grabbed the war horses, and at this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

Syllable!

The sound pierced the sky, and suddenly countless divine fire flying crows flew out from the trees on both sides, dragging the tailits, and smashed towards Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses.

"Not good!"

Zhang Xianzhong didn't care about who arranged the people, he turned around and ran, guarded by his cronies, didn't run far, the explosions behind him were endless, the flames were soaring, countless soldiers were drowned in shrapnel and gunsmoke, people turned on their backs, and their parents screamed, not to mention how miserable.

Even Zhang Xianzhong felt a pain in his shoulder, and as soon as he covered it with his hand, blood gushed out.

"Archon, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, let's go!"

His subordinates wanted to flee for their lives when they protected Zhang Xianzhong, but the gunshots rang out all around, and the bullets rained down, falling on these soldiers one after another. As if they were harvesting wheat, they fell to the ground in patches.

The people who were coerced by them were already reluctant, but when they heard the gunshots, they were even more frightened and ran around, disrupting the whole team.

"Damn it, kill it, kill them all!"

Zhang Xianzhong shouted desperately, but he knew in his heart that in the past few years since the army, he had never seen such a sharp weapon. Three words immediately flashed in his mind: Yizhou soldiers!

Zhang Ke, you bastard, aren't the centaurs still in Huai'an, why did you get here?

At this time, no one had the heart to explain Zhang Xianzhong's confusion, but could only hear the gunfire getting more and more intensive, and the soldiers crossed the wheat field and poured in from all directions.

In an instant, Zhang Xianzhong became a fish in the net, and he was about to be received in the net.

"There's a gap here!"

The surprise shouts of his subordinates reminded Zhang Xianzhong, sure enough, there is a gap of more than 20 zhang in the encirclement, hurry up and run!

Zhang Xianzhong took the lead, and the people behind followed closely, and sure enough, he broke out of the gap, and the taste of escaping came to his heart. There was still a rumble of guns in the back, and I thought those brothers were finished.

"Sooner or later, it's going to die, and if you die, you're going to die!"

Zhang Xianzhong only felt unbearable pain in his shoulder, turned the horse's head, and before he could run, there was a dry ditch opposite, and dozens of black gunshots poked out from it, and with a sudden burst of gunshots, Zhang Xianzhong was drowned in gunsmoke! (To be continued......)
