"We now have ten companies, we can divide the troops into two routes, Liu Chongyue, you lead five hundred people around the left flank of the Qing army, and I will lead the remaining five companies to attack head-on, what do you think there is anything to add?"

Liu Chongyue said: "Your Highness, I have 300 people here, but you are still ......."

Li Yunzhong showed displeasure: "You look down on me, then let's compete to see who kills the most enemies, and the one who loses must agree to a reasonable condition for the winner." That's it! ”

Although Liu Chongyue felt very embarrassed, seeing that the King of Han was resolute, he had no choice but to take the order.

Luo Zenan, who had just passed Dongxiang County, was furious, this Dongxiang County county order really didn't know what to do, and the army didn't arrange labor and army matters when it crossed the border, and even didn't let the city gate enter!

Wu Enze said angrily: "If this bird knows that the county is going to fall into the hands of Lao Tzu, he must be dismantled!" The straight lady thief is angry with Lao Tzu, what does it mean that he still has a few bags of grain from the city gate? I don't bring anything like this when I ask for food! ”

Luo Zenan pouted on the flatbread and replied: "What this magistrate has done is a bit excessive, don't take it to heart, as long as we keep Yujiang County, it will be a great achievement, and it is not easy to get promoted and make a fortune." ”

Wu Enze knew that Luo Zenan was comforting himself, and he himself felt that it was inappropriate to complain about a county magistrate with a filial piety, so he was still indignant and scolded beside him.

"Commander Qiqi, there is a shorthair in front of you blocking the way."

Luo Zenan put down the big cake in his hand and asked cautiously, "How many people are there?" ”

The spy replied: "The little ones have investigated a few times, and they must have only 500 people, and there are quite a few fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers mixed in!" ”

Wu Enze touched the big knife and said with a lewd smile: "I didn't expect that as soon as I left the provincial capital, there was a merit sent to the door, Commander Luo, let's kill it!" I heard that the short-haired man king Li Yunzhong prefers teenagers, hehe......"

Luo Zenan also felt that this battle could be fought, and said solemnly: "This is the first battle we have sent troops, since there are few short-haired people, then it is not a big deal for us to go up and destroy them, Enze, you lead thousands of people as the vanguard, and I will press the formation for you in the back." ”

Wu Enze excitedly took the order and left.

Li Yunzhong looked at the approaching Qing army, and sneered again and again, they probably hadn't discovered the actual situation of the foreign spear team, so they rushed over in a dense formation!

Li Yunzhong calmly shouted: "Put the Qing army in and fight again, save some bullets!" ”

"Shoot!"

"Bang"

"Bang"

……

Seeing that the enemy troops were all using firearms, Wu Enze shouted in the rear: "Brothers disperse! Don't be afraid! They could only shoot them all and rush up and kill them all......"

"Kill...... Rush ah......"

"Kill ......"

Li Yunzhong saw several young teenagers trembling with bullets in their hands, and cheered them up: "Don't panic! Three more shots will be fired and the Qing army will retreat, everyone hold on! ”

"Bang Bang"

Seeing that the brothers were shot and fell to the ground, Jiang Zhongyi persuaded Wu Enze, who was standing on the spot: "My lord, this short-haired firearm is really powerful, the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, even if they rush up, they won't be able to get benefits, let's withdraw first!" ”

Wu Enze looked at the brother who fell to the ground and groaned, and said angrily unwillingly: "Seeing that you are about to rush up, you will retreat like this? ”

"But these are the governor's disciples, and it is really unjust to be killed by foreign guns like this, so it is better for us to go back and recount with Lord Luo." Jiang Zhongyi was distressed, these soldiers were all the capital for him to settle down, get promoted, and make a fortune, but they couldn't all be destroyed here.

Wu Enze felt that what Jiang Zhongyi said was reasonable, but he was very unwilling, and finally reason overcame impulse, and shouted with a hideous face: "Retreat!" Tell the order to go down...... Retreat from the army, keep the sentry as a guard, and carry all the wounded brothers down! ”

Seeing that the enemy army had withdrawn, Li Yunzhong secretly rejoiced, he didn't expect this group of Qing troops to be so tenacious, knowing that Lu Dao was going to die, and he didn't retreat, which he had never encountered before, even Zhang Guoliang's tide was much worse than them.

"Someone! Go catch a live one, I've got something to ask! ”

"Yes!" The two guards quickly escorted one of the wounded soldiers left behind by the Qing army.

"Which part do you belong to? Who is the chief? Li Yunzhong took the water bladder and asked while drinking.

The little soldier covered the wound on his left leg, gritted his teeth and said, "You don't have to ask, I won't say anything, you can kill me!" ”

Li Yunzhong took out a dagger and said slowly: "I like to interrogate you hard bones the most, haluha...... It's time to play the stick game again! ”

Seeing what Li Yunzhong said strangely, the Qing soldier couldn't help but shudder and asked, "What is a human stick game?" ”

Li Yunzhong picked up a branch on the ground and demonstrated: "The human stick game is like it, first cut off the 'hands', and then cut off the 'feet'. Look, isn't this a human stick! It just so happens that your leg is also injured, and it won't hurt to cut it off, come on, let's try! ”

The Qing soldier covered his legs, and when he saw that Li Yunzhong was really going to cut it over, he said in horror: "I don't want to be a human stick, just ask whatever you want, at most give me a good time after you ask!" ”

Li Yunzhong pointed a knife at the Qing army and said, "I only ask you four questions, if you answer one sentence wrong, I will cut off one of your arms!" Two wrong answers cut off my arms, three wrong answers, even if I don't say it now, do you know what I will do? ”

"Cut off both arms, and cut off another foot!"

Li Yunzhong smiled evilly: "That's right, the first question, what part of the Qing army attacked here just now?" ”

Qing Bing breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that he would not be able to answer the question asked by the other side, so he calmly replied: "We are Chu Yong under the command of Governor Jiang, and we are ordered to support Yujiang County. ”

Li Yunzhong continued to play with the dagger and asked, "Second question, how many people are there in Jiang Zhongyuan and Chu Yong?" ”

"Plus the Xiangyong brought by Lord Luo, there are a total of 5,000 people."

Li Yunzhong asked him the question he was most concerned about: "The third question, I heard that Zeng Guofan's Hunan army brigade has arrived in Jiangxi, where are they now?" ”

"I really don't know about this, I'm just a sentry commander, what you are asking about is a military secret, only officials above the commander can know!"

Lieutenant Li Yun inserted the dagger between the legs of the Qing soldiers and frightened: "I don't know what to do? Then you want to be a stick! ”

I said...... I said, Zeng Guofan left some soldiers and horses to continue to besiege Jiujiang, and the rest are missing, my official position is too small, I really don't know what to do! It's useless for you to make me a stick. ”

"Fourth question, where do you think Zeng Guofan is now?"

"This ...... I say! I saw that Nanchang always transported grain and grass to Panyang County, and I guess they were stationed near Panyang County! I have all those who know the truth, you will kill me! I'll die when I go back. ”

After asking himself the answer to what he wanted to know, Li Yunzhong got up: "Drag him down to hurt him, give him the money to let him go home." ”

Wu Enze came to Luo Zenan's side in shame, and said depressedly: "The last general is incompetent, although there are only five hundred anti-thieves, but they are all equipped with firearms, the last general's men and horses can't rush up at all, please punish the adults!" ”

"All with firearms! Could it be that there is a short-haired big man ahead? Luo Zenan guessed.

Wu Enze really didn't want to provoke this group of shorthairs, and retorted: "I heard that shorthairs are all used in this concentrated use of firearms, unlike our Qing generals who like to use firearms as escorts, and there are many musket teams like this in the shorthaired army, I heard that Lord Zeng has sent people to Guangdong to purchase foreign guns, if we have foreign guns and then deal with these shorthairs, we will be able to catch them all." ”

Luo Zenan didn't expect Wu Enze to be afraid of this, and he didn't even have the courage to fight, so he said angrily: "Our army was ordered to support Yujiang, if you can't even take down a few hundred short hairs, how can you fight with the brigade of short hairs, you sweep the formation behind, and I will lead the people and horses of my headquarters to annihilate them!" ”

"Adults think twice, this group of short-haired foreign guns is fast and accurate, it's really hard to deal with, if you want to have three long and two short ......"

Luo Zenan shouted: "Presumptuous, you are still brought out by Minqiao, how can you be so greedy for life and afraid of death, no matter how powerful the firearms are, you can only put a few shots, and when our army rushes to the front of the thieves, they are the fish and meat on the board, not only can they capture a large number of foreign guns, but also hit the morale of the short-haired hair, killing multiple birds with one stone!" ”

Looking at Luo Zenan's commanding subordinate teams, Jiang Zhongyi mocked: "This Luo Zenan is famous. Don't take my eldest brother in his eyes, it's good to touch a nail, let him have a longer memory! ”

Li Xubin looked at the short-haired formations in front of him, and said to Luo Zenan: "Teacher, there are only five hundred people in this short-haired formation, but the formation is rigorous and changeable, no matter where our army attacks from, they can adapt to the situation, and I am afraid that they will not be able to attack without ten times the number of soldiers and horses!" ”

Luo Zenan nodded approvingly: "Kehui, what you said is right, I am proud to accept you as a student, your future is limitless, but you have an Achilles heel, that is, impulsiveness." ”

Li Xubin just smiled, and was very happy with his teacher's appreciation, and said hard: "What Shorthair can rely on is firearms, if we can make firearms weaken or lose their effect, then this group of Shorthair is not to worry." ”

Thinking of the panic of the failure of the short-haired firearm, Luo Zenan said with a smile: "What Kehui said is extremely true, it's ridiculous that Wu Enze only knows how to attack blindly, and doesn't know how to be flexible, I'm afraid they are still laughing at us later, it's really stupid!" ”

"The musket can penetrate the armor, and the ammunition is fire, so it is better to make clods of loess and put them on a wooden cart, and the soldiers can crouch behind them, so that they can easily approach the short hair." Li Xubin quickly figured out how to deal with it.
