Here in Yongxin County, several reconnaissance teams have begun to move according to their plans in the city; There is still a place called Jiazhou on the city of Ji'an more than sixty miles, and 20,000 Wu troops are crossing the river. This lot is the famous Lushui River in the local area, the average width of the river is 50 meters, and because it is a kilometer-long middle with the widest 500 meters similar to a diamond-shaped island, the water here is shallow and the water flow is very slow, and the surrounding people also flow water from here to cross the river. If you want to transport goods or something, you need to find a boat to ferry.

There is no bridge to cross on the Lushui River, but the nearest bridge to this place is fifteen miles to the north, and the army has to walk another thirty miles to detour, and the gains outweigh the losses. Since there is a river flowing here, then the army will pass through here first, and as for the detour of grain and grass, it will be detoured, and it will be to the destination anyway. In a cautious situation, Wu Yingzhi, the commander of the Wu army, still sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard the baggage team.

The army of the Wu army had already come here, and the scouts of the Wu army had advanced even deeper. The Qing army in the city of Ji'an Mansion can ignore him, Hilgen has been closed for dozens of days, and the affairs outside the city are completely ignored. These places outside the city are still nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ji'an government, but no one cares about them these days. The Mawei army didn't have time to take care of these towns and villages at this time, they just walked around the edge of the city from time to time, and they didn't think about attacking the city, but this also frightened the Qing army in the city.

The reason why the Qing army in the city has not been starved to death until now, and there has been no major turmoil in the city, is also because Jiang Yuanxun deliberately left the direction north of Ji'an Mansion alone. Let the Linjiang Mansion in the north send a steady stream of grain to the Guò Gan River. Otherwise. The Qing army should have been defeated a month ago, but that's it, they have also run out of oil, but Hilgen is still very persevering and can actually hold on and not take the initiative to retreat north, otherwise this Ji'an Mansion City will already be surnamed Geng!

The 3,000 cavalry divisions of the Mawei Army have been stationed in Laohuling, 20 miles southwest of Fucheng, this place is surrounded by water on both sides in the west and south, and the terrain is a horse and a flat river, which is the most suitable for the cavalry of the brigade to be stationed. This is a simple training base for the cavalry division built by Jiang Yuanxun. The cavalry of the brigade was stationed here, and Jiang Yuanxun did not relax his inspection and exploration of the surrounding situation every day, especially when the scouts found out about Wu Sangui's dispatch of troops into Jiangxi earlier, and these days they sent troops out to patrol every day, and all the reconnaissance teams were released. The task of the reconnaissance team is not to kill the enemy, but to find out the location of the soldiers and horses of the Wu army's brigade and other information. For example, Cai Qiang's team is only one in the southwest direction, but another reconnaissance squadron in the northwest is in charge.

Unlike the team led by Cai Qiang, the terrain in the northwest is gentle, so the reconnaissance team is scattered in the form of squads, with ten people in each squad. But the teams are not too far apart, in case of emergencies. Reinforcements can be given to each other, and in a short period of time, two nearby squads can get closer, and thirty people can form combat effectiveness! Squadron leader Zhou Kuiyuan led a team alone and met Wu Jun's scout team like shit.

"Squadron leader, there are cavalry coming from the northwest, I estimate that there are about thirty horsemen, and the number is uncertain!" It was already noon at this time, Zhou Kuiyuan and the twelve soldiers around him stopped their horses and ate jerky by the big tree, and before they were halfway through eating, the black charcoal head Kong Xiaoshan in the team suddenly changed his face slightly, and he turned over and put his ears on the ground, and after listening to it for a while, he immediately got up and said to Zhou Kuiyuan urgently.

As soon as his words came out, the people who were chewing the jerky immediately stopped moving, and their faces began to become solemn, Kong Xiaoshan was the top ear in their squadron, not to mention that it was no problem to distinguish the sound and direction of horses' hooves a few miles away. His unique skills have repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the battle for more than half a year, and everyone will naturally not doubt his words. Zhou Kuiyuan glanced around at everyone and said: "Now it must be the Wu army coming from the northwest, the Wu army is coming from this direction, presumably the general army has already received the news, we haven't detected the Wu army's brigade here, and it is impossible to retreat, what should we do?" ”

Everyone was silent for a while after listening to Zhou Kuiyuan's words, they had not yet discovered the large force of the Wu army, they would definitely not be able to retreat, and if these scouts of the Wu army were let through, it would make the camp of the Mawei Cavalry Division quickly exposed, and it would easily cause the cavalry division to fall into danger. After all, they had heard about it before, but this time the Wu army came with more than 20,000 people, and the Wu army brigade was fully equipped with soldiers, horses, guns and artillery, and the cavalry division was afraid that it would suffer a lot of losses. But it is also very difficult for a small team of their men and horses to rush up and fight with the scouts of the thirty or forty Wu army!

"Our number is a little small, the other teams are a little far away, I'm afraid it's a little too late, this gang of Wu Jun is running too fast!" Kong Xiaoshan continued to listen to the ground, and then said.

"What are you afraid of, let's shoot from a distance from hiding, kill half of them before they react, and do we have to worry about the rest? We have already put life and death aside since we entered the reconnaissance camp, if we die in battle due to lack of strength, and there are people at home to take care of us, but if we let these Wu soldiers go, we will have to eat military law! Hu Bing, the team leader, was the first to speak, and directly cheered up the brothers around him.

Kong Xiaoshan also stomped his feet violently, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Hu Tou'er is right, fuck it." Maybe we can make a fortune this time and buy a yard in the city when we go back! ”

The corners of Zhou Kuiyuan's mouth tugged up, "Okay, let's do his vote." Kong Xiaoshan, you take a few brothers to lead the horse to the hillside and wait, Hu Bing, you take three brothers to arrange the tripping rope, and the others will go to the roadside ambush with me first, and you will follow up by yourself, this time we will get off to a good start before our army comes! ”

Hu Bing smashed his mouth and said: "Damn, Xiaoshan said that there are thirty or forty horses, hehe, not to mention anything else, taking these horses is a big reward!" If you can catch the live Wu Jun scouts and find out some news, then the credit will be great! ”

Zhou Kuiyuan had already finished the task, put the last piece of jerky in his hand that he hadn't eaten into his mouth, then clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Then aim and shoot later, don't shoot to death." Okay, while there's still some time, you might as well hurry up and set up your tripwire. ”

As they spoke, everyone put away the bags of dry food in their hands, hung them on their respective horses, and then went down and arranged them separately. The team leader Hu Bing led three team members to place a thick and swarthy tripwire on the road, which was also covered with a layer of floating soil, and the other end was pulled by the other three team members who were ambushed on the side of the road. Soon, Kong Xiaoshan and several other team members also tied up their horses and set up their own ambush positions.

In less than ten minutes, more than thirty horses came from a distance from the northwest direction, the speed was not very fast, and there were more than thirty figures riding on horseback, and Zhou Kuiyuan carefully counted a total of thirty-six people. It seems that this scout team is quite large, thirty-six people and thirty-six horses, which also shows that the large army of the Wu army is not very far from here, otherwise there will not be so many scouts, and there will not be so few horses.
