Chapter 59: A small test of the edge

A drizzle fell from the sky, and the mountain roads were very muddy. In April, Annan gradually entered the rainy season. "Damn, God is right, we started to rain when we entered Annan, and it hasn't been sunny for a few days." He Meng brushed his wet cheek with his hand and muttered. Leng Yifei didn't squeak and continued to walk forward.

"Captain, it's almost noon, why don't you rest for a while and let everyone eat something!" Leng Yifei raised his eyes and looked forward: "There is a stone cliff in front, let's go to the bottom of the stone cliff to rest!" Hearing this, He Meng ordered to speed up. Khaled, the leader of the first team of kung fu, ran back from the front. Khalid is a northerner, with a wide body and a tiger's back, and he is 1.80 meters tall.

"Captain, the brother who opened the road in front found two suspicious people, not like ordinary people!" "Capture these two alive, we will wait for you under the cliff in front!" Leng Yifei is concise and to the point. "It's the captain, and the subordinates obey the order!" About half an hour later, Khalid came to the front and joined the two spearheads. "What's going on?" "Captain, those two guys are sheltering from the rain under the big tree, and they haven't noticed us!" A member of the team reported. "You two detour from the left and right, I go head-on, don't shoot without my order!"

Khalid drew his spear and reached for the tree in front of him. Sure enough, he found the two guys resting under the big tree, and Khalid saw that the two brothers had already outflanked him left and right, so he stood up and swaggered forward. The two fellows were very alert, and when they heard the movement, they jumped up quickly, and when they saw that there was only one person approaching in front of them, they drew their short knives and pounced on them.

Khalid flew up unhurriedly, and the guy on the left was kicked in the jaw, fell to the ground on his back and fainted. The guy on the right saw that something was wrong and fled, and before he could run a few steps away, he was knocked unconscious with the butt of his rifle by the outflanked brother. "Tie these two up and take them away!" After a while, Khalid escorted the two guys to the cliff. At this time, the team members are building a fire and baking food. Seeing that two people were caught, they surrounded them curiously.

When the two guys saw a group of mighty men, holding foreign guns in their hands but not wearing military uniforms, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts, there is no such team in the official army, and there is no such team in the Black Flag Army. When the two were puzzled, they were escorted to Leng Yifei. "Report to the captain, the two of them have been taken." Leng Yifei didn't get up, but just glanced at it lightly and said, "Truthfully recruited, what are you two doing." ”

The two of them turned pale and said nothing. "Damn, you're dumb!" He Meng said majestically. "Heroes, we are good citizens!" One of the guys said. "Good people? Haunted by the deep mountains and old forests with sharp blades, I see that you are clearly traitors, and you will correct these two guys on the spot. Leng Yifei sneered, with a hideous expression on his face. He Meng took out a pistol and pointed it at the head of one of them, and this guy was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The good man spares his life, I will explain!" ”

"Say it! What the hell are you doing, weishenme here? "My lord, we are Yang Guangcai's right vanguard, and we are monitoring the Black Flag Army on the right flank. I heard that the officials and soldiers of the imperial court were going to be dispatched, and the two of us are here to inquire about the news. "How many people are there in your vanguard?" Where are they stationed? "If you go back to your lordship, our vanguard team of 300 people is stationed in Beiguang on the Lujiang River!"

Leng Yifei ordered the two to be escorted down, and said decisively after a moment of silence: "I have decided to eat the vanguard of the rebels, and we will rush to Beiguang immediately without hesitation!" This is our first battle, and we must do a good job, even if we meet Liu Yongfu as a gift. "The next morning, the troops rushed to Beijiang, and there were still a few hours before dawn, so Leng Yifei ordered the troops to rest." Captain, Weishenme does not take the opportunity to attack, now is the time. He Meng was confused.

"It's easy to get injured by mistake when it's dark, so we attack after dawn to try to minimize casualties against these thieves. The other party is a big sword and spear, let's fight in a dignified manner. After dawn, Leng Yifei ordered the west to be Lujiang, and He Meng led a team to outflank from the north, Khalid led a team to copy from the south, and Leng Yifei himself led a team to copy from the east. Special emphasis is placed on shooting as much as possible in the legs and not taking the opponent's life.

The opposing side soon discovered the situation, and with the sound of a trumpet, the rebels entered combat readiness. probably saw that there were few people on the other side, and they actually copied three breads, which seemed to be a great shame. The rebel vanguard officer immediately lit up his troops and horses, and marched out of the north light to the south side. The rebels were very aggressive, but soon the rebels suffered, and under the blow of a bullet, they left dozens of wounded soldiers and retreated back to Beiguang.

Beiguang is a small town on the edge of the Lujiang River, with only 20 almost people, and there is no danger to defend here. After the rebels retreated back to Beiguang, all they had in front of them was to flee. Suddenly, a team of foreign guns appeared, and there was no way to parry, let alone fight. Then the rebels began to break through to the east, Leng Yifei commanded the troops to stand in three echelons, with clear layers to block, and the other side rushed several times to no avail and had to retreat to Beiguang.

The encirclement was narrowed, Leng Yifei was not in a hurry to attack, he let one of the captured people enter Beiguang with a letter of persuasion. At this time, the rebel vanguard officer was out of breath and at a loss, this guy was not only confused but also frightened. "My lord, although there are not many people coming, but they are all foreign guns, and there are no bullets, we are not opponents at all, my lord, you can get an idea!"

Another subordinate said: "My lord, I observe that the other party does not want to put us to death, they are well-trained and shoot accurately, but our wounded brothers are all in the legs, I am sure that the other party is not an official army, let alone a black flag army." "After inspections, more than 50 brothers were lost in several raids." Report to your lordship, the other party is treating our wounded," everyone's eyes widened when they heard this.

The report was that the spies had returned, and after listening to the spies' report, the rebel vanguard officer opened the letter and looked at it. After reading it, he said: "Damn, let us surrender, give us an hour, and if we don't surrender, we will attack." "When they heard this, their faces turned pale." Are you sure that they are a civilian army, with only 200 people? "They call themselves the People's Army, and there are only 200 people!" The spy replied cautiously.

"My lord, both horizontal and vertical are dead, fight with them!" "My lord! You just give the order! We don't do bad seeds! "Subordinates have invited babies." My lord! The other side is the people's army, and we can consider a way out! When we rebelled, it was coerced by Yang Guangcai, and we don't need to be loyal to him! "My lord, Yang Guangcai is usually suspicious of us, let us take the lead and work hard, I've had enough!" Several subordinates expressed different opinions. The vanguard officer knew that if he resisted, he would definitely die, but he couldn't pull his face down and said: "You go back and tell the other party that you are a good man with a foreign gun in your hand, and you have the courage to fight alone with me, and if I lose, I will be dealt with by the other party." ”

Soon, the two teams of men and horses set up a position on the south side of the Lujiang River in Beiguang, and the rebel vanguard stood in front of the formation. Leng Yifei stared at the other party for a moment, then took the rifle from one of the team members. "Captain! It's too dangerous, let me do it! He Meng stopped.

"You don't have to worry, if you want to recover the opponent's spirit, you must kill the opponent's aura!" After Leng Yifei finished speaking, he withdrew the bullet and loaded the bayonet, which meant to tell the other party that there was no bullet in the rifle, and we were fighting in a dignified manner. Both sides stand 5 meters apart from each other. In a moment, the vanguard officer rushed up with a big knife in his hand, everyone was sweating, and He Meng even aimed his gun at the other party.

Leng Yifei braked quietly, only to see him stride forward, block the opponent's big knife, and then smash the butt of the gun into the opponent's head. The other party reacted quickly, dodged the butt of the smashed gun, and suddenly the two sides were misplaced and changed directions. Leng Yifei stabbed suddenly, the opponent blocked it with a big knife, then swept a knife horizontally, Leng Yifei blocked it with the butt of his gun, and then twisted his body and stabbed it at a very fast speed, the other party was caught off guard, and the bayonet came straight to the abdominal cavity.

The pioneer officer was clearly not a bear, but he was seen sliding and his bayonet sticking to the left side of the ribs. This guy escaped, his body suddenly lost control, the door opened, Leng Yifei picked up the butt of the gun and smashed it on his neck, this guy fell to the ground on his side, Leng Yifei's bayonet was on the guy's ribs, but it didn't stab in. There was a commotion in the rebel ranks, and there was a great tendency to rise.

He Meng took the lead in shooting, and the bullet hit the ground and bounced up a cloud of dust, and immediately the team members opened fire one after another, and the bullet seemed to form a wall on the ground. When the rebels saw this, they were so frightened that they did not dare to move. At this time, the rebel vanguard officer threw away his broadsword and said, "This good man, please do it!" I willingly, but please let my brother go! Leng Yifei quickly put away his rifle and said, "Why should I kill you, get up!" ”

The pioneer officer stood up with a disgraced face, and his face turned pale. When his subordinates saw this scene, they all put down their weapons and surrendered. "What's your name and what is your title?" "The defeated will be Lin Xiong, the vanguard officer on the right side under the command of General Yang of the Guangxi Righteous Army, please ask the name of the hero, and the defeated will bow to the upper hand." "The righteous army, Yang Guangcai can also become a righteous army, he has a set of scourges for the common people."

Seeing that Lin Xiong was silent, he continued: "I am Leng Yifei, the captain of the wolf team of the People's Army, and I came to strangle you voluntarily. Although Yang Guangcai claims to be more than 10,000 people, he is actually a rabble, what future do you have if you follow him. "Hugh is clamoring, you can hand us over to the officers and soldiers to receive the reward!" “haha! weishenme wants to hand you over to the official army, and I Leng Yifei will not do that. ”

Leng Yifei raised his voice and continued: "At present, the official army will soon enter the territory of Annan to strangle you, think about it, there is the Annan army in the south, and the Black Flag army in the west, and soon the official army will pounce from the north, Yang Guangcai is already embattled, and he will soon be scattered." "Lord Leng, I am willing to die, please spare my brother!" Lin Xiong held his neck and seemed to be tough.

"Damn, Lao Tzu spent a long time talking, ** is not coincidental. If I want to take your last name, I will end up with you. If you want to live well, give me a good word. Lin Xiong suddenly realized: "Lord Leng, do you want to take me in?" "This is the only way out for you, including your brothers." Lin Xiong suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Heaven and earth testify, Lin Xiong has decided to return to Lord Leng, please make it clear!" ”

The rebels behind hulala knelt down and said, "We are willing to defect to Lord Leng, if there are two hearts, there will be five thunderstorms." "Lin Biaotou, please get up, from today onwards you are my person, let's go into Beiguang to talk." Most of the people living in Beiguang are Han people, and there are only a small number of Jing people. Leng Yifei felt that Beiguang was good, and decided to use this place as a temporary base.

On the same day, Leng Yifei adapted Lin Xiong's men and horses to form the second wolf team. Lin Xiong served as the captain, Khalid the leader of the first squad served as the vice-captain, and his squad was subsumed into the second team of the wolves and served as a junior officer. Leng Yifei eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled, including the wounded 50 soldiers, eliminated 100 people and retained 200 people, plus the Khalid team joined a total of 220 people, and also formed 10 squads, each squad leader is served by team members.

A few days later, Leng Yifei ordered the second squad to stay in Beiguang, and the eliminated old, weak, sick and wounded to stay in Beiguang. After that, Leng Yifei led the team to Laojie. No tragic fights, easy battles. It seems that the rifle is absolutely a one-sided slaughter for the big knife and long hair. Especially the strong combat effectiveness of his subordinates, Leng Yifei's information has greatly increased.
