Section 23: Yizhou meets ambush three

After returning to the Land Temple, a large number of bandits quickly surrounded the Land Temple from the east, west, and north, with a preliminary estimate of 80 to 100 people. After examining the terrain again, Long Qian readjusted his forces and placed the main forces on the east and west sides. There were only two people on the north side, one of whom was the soldier who was recognized as the best marksman in this guard squad, and the other was Zhang Ping, who was shot in the right forearm. This is determined by the topography of the land temple, this temple is located at the north entrance of Weijiazhai, close to the road, the mountain gate opens to the east, there is a terrain that can be used to attack the troops, and the same is true for the west, but the north side is close to the hillside, and it is impossible to deploy the troops, so Long Qian Ji Lu can block it with a rifle.

"Commander, Cheng Erhu's troops will arrive soon, just hold on for two hours." Jiang Yun said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Long Qian, who was squatting behind the stone pier on the right side of the mountain gate, listened to the shouts outside, turned his face to look at Jiang Yun.

"Zhifeng and I are worried that there are people holding calves along the way, so let Zhifeng go back to Yi County and bring some soldiers to catch up__"

"Well done!" Long Qian shook Jiang Yun's arm vigorously, "Everyone, listen, the reinforcements of our army in Yixian County have set off and are rushing to reinforce them, as long as we hold on for an hour!" Long Qian loudly announced the good news, and by the way, cut the time to hold on by half.

"Commander, someone has leaked our whereabouts__" Jiang Yun said in a low voice.

"Don't mention that, go back and talk about it." Long Qian stared at Jiang Yun's eyes, "Understand?" ”

Jiang Yun nodded.

The shouts outside proved Jiang Yun's judgment, "Capture Long Qian alive." Avenge the old Tao's family! ”

"It's a calf ...... that slipped through the net"

"Is it really a calf?" Long Qian snorted coldly.

Jiang Yun's brain buzzed, and his hairs stood up, he was more frightened than the sudden ambush just now, wasn't he hugging a calf? Who's that?

After ten minutes of life and death, Zhang Lianfen, who was more and more afraid of it, was overjoyed when she heard this, and ran out of the temple, "General Long, have the reinforcements really come out?" ”

"Of course, do you remember that one of my subordinates returned to Yixian from Zaozhuang? That's to move reinforcements. Long Qian, who had been guarding the mountain gate, smiled and said to Zhang Lianfen, "Lord Zhang, please rest assured. In an hour. The dogs will never be able to attack it. ”

"It's the one who holds the calf...... They should have been killed in the first place......"

"Who is it, you will know if you catch a live person......" Long Qian raised his gun, aimed for a long time, and there was a loud sound. A bandit who had been watching from behind a rocky rock was gone. Then came the clamour. About twenty bandits rushed out of hiding places. Screaming and rushing towards the mountain gate, this scene shocked Zhang Lianfen who was standing on the side of the gate, and fear instantly grabbed his heart. If the bandits come in......

The defenders' five rifles fired almost at the same time, Zhang Lianfen, who had a wide open mouth, saw that at least three of the bandits who rushed up had fallen, and there was another deafening gunshot, and several of the bandits fell to the ground, and the accurate shooting dispelled the courage of the attackers, and the rest of the people began to turn around and run back, and another bandit was knocked down, and a dead body fell in the open space in front of the mountain gate, no, there were at least two alive, and a wounded bandit howled and crawled back, leaving a string of blood behind him. There was also one who could not move, shouting loudly for his companions to save him.

"Don't fight," Long Qian raised his hand and pressed down the rifle that Gao Huzi was aiming at beside him, "Let them deal with it themselves......"

"Check the bullets and save them." Long Qian explained, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Zhang Lianfen still standing there in a daze, "Go back quickly!" Bullet casings don't grow eyes! ”

Zhang Lianfen came to his senses, the battle just now gave him confidence, and he killed at least four bandits, but his side was unharmed...... It seems that there is hope for holding out for an hour.

But the gunshots that came to mind from the west shattered his dream, and Long Qian, who was guarding in front of the mountain gate, jumped up suddenly, "They came from the west." Go back! ”

Zhang Lianfen ran back to the main hall, and Wu Yong, who had been bandaged, was still leaning against the pillar and moaning with his eyes closed, and saw Zhang Lianfen, "Brother Yuhui, is there any water, I am very thirsty......"

"I'm afraid it's only blood. Didn't you hear that just now? The bandits almost got in. Wu Yong's words reminded him of the scene when Yuan Shu was defeated during the Three Kingdoms, "When are you still talking about thirst!" Wu Yong's cowardice made Zhang Lianfen feel contempt.

"What am I doing here, what kind of Yizhou is coming with him! What is he doing to me when he is being targeted by the enemy? In the fierce gunfire in the west, Wu Yong began to cry bitterly, and finally got mixed up with the prefect, and died here so inexplicably? Wu Yong thinks of his family, especially his sick wife, and he is afraid that he will not be able to see her......

Zhang Lianfen was much calmer than Wu Yong, he only stayed in the main hall for a moment, and then rushed out of the hall, his movements were swift and did not look like an official who was over fifty years old. Turning the corner, the scene on the west side of the hall immediately calmed him, causing him to freeze in place as if he had been chanted. However, with a few words of Wu Yong, the west side of the main hall has become a Shura field: three corpses are stacked in one place, two bandits who entered from the wall waved a big knife and fought with two soldiers in one place, and the rest of the soldiers were still guarding the gap and shooting outward, more bandits climbed over the wall, only to see Long Qian, who was shooting, handed over the rifle in his left hand, and pulled out a short gun in his right hand to fire at close range, and the bandits who climbed the wall and were about to jump down the wall knocked down the wall, Long Qian turned the muzzle of the gun and continued to shoot, knocking down the two bandits who were fighting with his subordinates, Then the splitter smashed the pistol out, just smashed it in the chest of a bandit who rushed over, and immediately hit it and staggered, without waiting for it to breathe, Long Qian's rifle bayonet had pierced the bandit's stomach, stirring it hard, in the bandit's shocking screams, Long Qian flew up and kicked it down, and pulled out the bayonet, and another soldier with blood on his body shouted Commander, threw a pistol at Long Qian, Long Qian grabbed the pistol in his right hand, and aimed slightly, The head of a bandit who was jumping down from the wall was opened__Due to Long Qian's accurate pistol shooting, the situation that had collapsed was saved, and the soldiers of the Wasion Army who were free again held the gap__The bandit launched the most ferocious attack and was repulsed.

Zhang Lianfen, who served as Yan, Yi, Cao, and Jibing for a short time, was beheaded by prison, and the scene of the separation of the head was not unseen. But it was the first time I had seen such a hand-to-hand fight, and if I looked closely, there was a corpse on the ground wearing a gray military uniform, and a soldier who was half leaning against the wall had a piece of blood on his chest__The baby-faced officer who had just thrown the pistol to Long Qian went over to help the wounded soldier, turned his head and shook his head at Long Qian, signaling that the soldier was gone.

Lost two soldiers at once!

"Lord Zhang, they are not bandits, they are officers and soldiers!" Long Qian stared at Zhang Lianfen with blazing eyes, "If Brother Yu Rui is lucky enough to escape, please go to the imperial court." It was the Yizhou officials and soldiers who wanted to put Long to death! ”

"Ahh Zhang Lianfen was stunned by this sentence. "How do you know it's an officer?"

"I just heard their conversation! What a Li Chun! What a vicious Yuan Shikai! Long Qian changed his rifle and checked the bullets in the gun, "At least the Yizhou soldiers participated in the ambush!" Grandma's, do you have to put Long to death! ”

"What did the general hear?" Zhang Lianfen asked.

"Don't believe me?" Long Qian returned to the gap. Leaning over and looking out. "They retreated. Go two people to look elsewhere. ”

Jiang Yun and Gao Huzi agreed and left.

This attack inflicted heavy losses on the ambushers, killing more than a dozen of their bravest soldiers, and discouraged the attackers. The shouting voice came clearly, "Listen, the people inside, what we want is Long Qian's head, and it has nothing to do with others." As long as Long Qian is tied, we will let the others go__Otherwise, you will be broken into pieces! ”

Long Qian lied to Zhang Lianfen, and he did not have any evidence to prove that the Yizhou official army participated in the ambush, but he guessed the truth, because it was Zheng Cheng who shouted.

"Yan is in charge, they can't do it! One more time is sure it's over, and you have to do it all at once__"

"It's a nice thing to say, you have to fight, let your people go up and fight!" Yan Jinlong had red eyes and stared at Zheng Cheng deadly.

Since the ambush was launched, it has caused more than 20 casualties, most of them have been killed, Yan Jinlong, one of the four King Kongs under Tao San, has jumped like thunder, and almost all of the dead and injured are his subordinates.

Zheng Cheng contacted him the day before yesterday and said that Long Qian took people to Yi County, and it is estimated that he will return to Zhengjiazhuang soon, Zheng Cheng proposed to ambush Long Qian on the road from Yi County to Zhengjiazhuang - he did not bring many people, the enemy was bright and I was secret, and it was a good opportunity to avenge Tao Lao's family. Of course, Yan Jinlong wanted to avenge Tao San, but also because although the Mengshan Army had openly killed sixteen big and small leaders, Tao Lao's family was still in custody. If Long Qian can be captured, at least Tao San can be exchanged. Since escaping from Chenjiayazhuang, Yan Jinlong has gathered about 100 people and has been hiding in the mountains, not daring to return to the old village of Baoqianggu, where it is said that the soldiers of the Mengshan army were also pierced.

Yan Jinlong swore to avenge this great revenge, and when he first defeated Yi County, he listened to Zheng Cheng's words, saying that Zhengjiazhuang had a large amount of gold and silver, and the gold and silver accumulated by Zheng Jing's house alone were more than 200,000, and the defenders only had one battalion, which was not yet elite. Zheng Cheng established contact with Baoqigu after Mengshan Army opened Zhengjiazhuang. It is said that he also has a grudge against the cottage, and the cottage attacked Zhengjiazhuang, the richest in Fei County, and hit a wall, which frustrated his spirit. This big fat peach was picked by the people of Mengshanzhai. Followed by the continuous attack of the official army on the Mengshan Village, Tao San sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, the more the officers and the soldiers and the people and horses of the Mengshan Cottage were dead, the more beneficial it was to hold the calf. Who knew that the Daomeng cottage was so brave that even the elite troops brought into Shandong by Yuan Shikai suffered a big defeat! This result suppressed Tao San, so that he could not make up his mind to use force against Zhengjiazhuang after he was recruited to lead troops to the north in Longqian. Tao San admired the people of Mengshanzhai very much, and praised Mengshanzhai several times for growing a face for the green forest road and winning glory. But later, Mengshanzhai actually surrendered to the government, which made Tao San despise it and scolded Long Qian for disgrace Sun Dewang, who was the scum and traitor of Green Forest Road! A few times I told my subordinates that if there is a chance, we must clean up this scum.

Until Zheng Cheng tried his best to contact the cottage and told the cottage that Zhengjiazhuang now has only a small number of troops, hoping that Baoqinggu will send troops to recapture Zhuangzi for him. He has been standing in Lunan for decades, and has fought many battles with the officials and soldiers, which made Tao San understand the importance of establishing his own eyes and ears in the government. Zheng Cheng's identity and what happened to the Zheng family made Tao San attach great importance to Zheng Cheng, and with Zheng Cheng's nail, every move of the Yizhou official army would not be able to hide from the copycat. Before the Spring Festival, Zheng Cheng personally went to the calf cub and sent a heavy gift to the cottage, and reported in detail on Zhengjiazhuang's troops and defenses, which made Tao San moved. Since Yuan Shikai's troops were stationed in Yizhou and Yanzhou, the scope of activities of the cottage has become smaller and smaller, and the food, soldiers, and gold and silver have almost been cut off. After several encounters with the official army, Tao San decided to give up hugging the calf, and the whole army went out, and after making a lot of money, he turned to Jiangsu to develop. Rather than sit and wait for destruction, it is better to fight to the death. But Tao San did not go directly to fight Zhengjiazhuang, but suddenly attacked Yixian, Ji Lu made a sound to attack the east and west, mobilized the officials and troops in Yanzhou, and then went north to open Zhengjiazhuang. Yi County is open, but the harvest is limited, hearing that Cao Kun's department has gone south, Tao San in Yi County after a big fish, waved his army north, did not take the avenue but took the road straight to Zhengjiazhuang. Unexpectedly, the remaining troops of the Mengshan Army were tenacious, and Chenjiaya was like a boulder blocking the strong attack of the calf, and the situation was the same as attacking Zhengjiazhuang a few years ago! Just when Tao San hesitated, the main force of the Mengshan Army suddenly appeared behind him, and there was a great chaos when he hugged the calf and the people were in chaos, and Yan Jinlong, who was broken, fled from the battlefield with dozens of people, and almost all of Tao San became prisoners of the Mengshan Army. Then came the news that Long Qian had publicly executed the sixteen leaders, which made Yan Jinlong feel painful and vowed to avenge his dead brother.

Zheng Cheng brought seven or eight people, all of whom changed into civilian clothes. Encourage Yan Jinlong to fight Long Qian's ambush. Yan Jinlong knew the terrain of this area well, and he was afraid of the strong combat power of the Mengshan army on the one hand, but he was unwilling to give up this opportunity. So he gathered all the men and horses to move to the south of Yixian, ready to see the situation and then make plans, who knew that in Yizhou, he found a group of officers and troops marching along the mountain road to Yizhou in Yizhou! They discovered Long Qian in advance, but they were not discovered by Long Qian's subordinates. When they were fighting in Weijia Village, some of the people in the village had mixed in in advance, and they ran back to tell him that there were several big people in that army, including Long Qian, the big leader of the Mengshan Army. Meng Shanjun has always called it that, yes, it must be him.

This news made Yan Jinlong excited, there are only a dozen people on the other side, and he has a hundred and ten people, and he is on his own territory, where can he find such an opportunity? Without Zheng Cheng's agitation, Yan Jinlong immediately decided to eat this official army! As for the other officials who made the detailed report, Yan Jinlong didn't care about it at all, as long as Long Qian was arrested, he would definitely be able to get back the Tao family and the brothers who were coerced into the Mengshan Army, and it would not be difficult to regain his prestige with the calf!

Due to the gap in combat quality, an ambush battle that seemed to be easy was out of shape! If Zhilu Dao's official army is so difficult to fight, it is better to concentrate firepower to kill Long Qian from the beginning! It's a good thing that they hid in the Land Temple, and after two attacks, they failed to take down this small temple, and they also lost about 20 of their most elite brothers!

In fact, there is no need for Zheng Cheng to remind him, at this point, Yan Jinlong is already red-eyed, even if twenty more people die, Long Qian's gang will be taken down!

"Go, tell Pan kidnapper! Let's fight on both sides of the east and west, and he's just a few dicks, and he drowned them to death! Brethren, they can't hold it anymore! I will definitely be able to get it in next time! captured Long Qian alive, and each person was rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver! A reward of five hundred taels for death! Yan Jinlong gathered a few backbones over, mobilized before the war, and said to Zheng Cheng, "Master Zheng, this time your people can't watch the play, let's go together!" Otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite! ”

"Good! Let's go together! Lao Tzu is gone! Zheng Cheng rolled up his sleeves.

Yan Jinlong realized that the failure just now was that the attacks on both sides were disjointed, and Pan Guizi launched without waiting for the west to make a move, causing the other side to concentrate his forces and repel each other.

The order was passed down, Yan Jinlong found that a guy under Zheng Cheng ran to Zheng Cheng in a panic to report, Zheng Cheng immediately panicked, and was just about to open his mouth to ask, Yan Jinlong heard the sound of horses' hooves from the west, which was the sound of a large group of cavalry galloping__Oops, the reinforcements of the official army came up! (To be continued......)
