Chapter 29 Ambush and Outflanking

Xiao Yungui remained silent, bowed his head slightly and motioned for Li Kaifang to continue. Seeing Xiao Yungui's approval, Li Kaifang stood up and pointed to the map on the table and said: "When the Qing Demon Hunan Admiral Bao Qi Leopard City is broken, he will lead his troops to go first, and the Qing Demon Law will be cut down if he loses his land, and the younger brother expects that this Bao Qi Leopard must be the one who wants to return to Changsha first among the Qing Demons." Bao Demon Head can only attack Changsha before the Qing Demon Eight Hundred Miles Urgent Document is sent to the Demon Cave in the capital, so that he can have a glimmer of life, otherwise he will wait for the Qing Demon Dog Emperor Xianfeng to cut off his dog head. ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and continued: "So after Bao Demon got reinforcements from Hubei, he would rush to Changsha City. ”

Li Kaifang said with a smile: "He didn't dare to really attack, the Qing demon officialdom is erosive, greedy for life and afraid of death abounds, he Bao Qibao returned to the north of Changsha City, waved the flag and shouted, occupy the key land in the north of the city, he has soldiers in his hands, as long as he occupies the important place to surround my holy soldiers, he can dredge the silver to the big demon head of the Qing Demon, and in the end, the dog emperor Xianfeng cast a mouse taboo, and he had no choice but to leave the Bao Demon head a dog life, maybe he will be like the old demon head of Saizanne Asai, sentenced to be dismissed and investigated, and retained before the army. Therefore, Bao Qibao would only come in a hurry, and then look for important places in the north of the city to be stationed, rather than forcibly attacking Changsha City. ”

Xiao Yungui said with a smile: "It is the eternal truth in the officialdom, full of things that are not hidden, good news but not bad news, avoid heavy needs and light, find a way out before leaving, find the right person in the court, don't panic when you encounter something, haha." ”

Li Kaifang clasped his fists and praised: "His Royal Highness the King of the West really has insight into the world, and I also know that the demon head of Sai Shang'a was defeated in the Battle of Longliao Ridge in order to cover up his shame, and he sent Jiao Liang to the King of Taiping to ask for merit, so I know a little about the Qing Demon Officialdom, but it is not as thorough as what the King of the West said." ”

Xiao Yungui scolded with a smile: "We are not Qing demons, we don't come to this set of sycophants, let's talk about it, where will Bao Qibao stay in the north of the military city?" ”

Li Kaifang's face was slightly red, and he pointed to a black line in the north of Changsha City on the map and continued: "The younger brother guards the north of the city, and has also explored the terrain outside the city these days, this river is the Liuyang River, which comes from the east and turns around in Jiudaowan in the northeast corner of the city, and then goes north and turns west in Fan Zhengpo, and joins the Xiangshui, and the northernmost part of the Liuyang River is five miles away from the north of Changsha City. The younger brother expected that the Qing demon Bao Qibao would send troops from Xiangyin, and he would definitely cross the river from Liujia on the Liuyang River, and the Wujialing and Kaifu Temple on the south bank of the Liuyang River in the north of the city were slightly higher, and they were only two miles away from the Liuyang River. ”

Xiao Yungui touched his nose and pondered, Lin Fengxiang and others were already gathered around the table, after listening to Li Kaifang's words, Lin Fengxiang said: "Since this is the case, it will be easy to do, we can divide the troops into two ways, one way to ambush Wujialing, the other way to sneak across the Liuyang River from the upper reaches of the east, detour behind the Qing Demon, and wait for the Qing Demon to cross the river and attack half-crossing, and then outflank the men and horses on the back road, and will definitely be able to kill Bao Qibao with a big defeat and loss!" ”

Xiao Yungui nodded secretly, worthy of being a famous general of the Northern Expedition who dared to go deep alone, and sure enough, he had some generals, and then asked again: "There are more than 6,000 demons in the Qing Dynasty, how many troops should I send as a holy soldier?" ”

Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang glanced at each other and said in unison: "Two thousand elites are enough." ”

Xiao Yungui was slightly taken aback, and nodded after a moment of silence: "It's okay, Brother Lin and Brother Li will lead our 1,500 Guangxi old brothers and 500 new troops to divide into two roads, Brother Lin will lead one army to Wujialing to set up an ambush, and Brother Li will lead the other way to smuggle across the Liuyang River to outflank the demon back road!" The rest of the generals led the troops to guard the city, ready to respond at any time! Speaking of this, Xiao Yungui straightened up, looked around at the generals and said in a deep voice: "Is there anything else you want to say?" ”

Li Yiwen suddenly said: "There are five detachable jack cannons at the head of the city, and ten cannons of 700 catties, which are transported to Wujialing by pack horses to be secretly armed. ”…,

Seeing that all the generals bowed slightly, Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "Set up an ambush and prepare more firearms and red medicine all the way, and when the Qing demons crowd the south bank, greet them well!" The generals laughed together.

Xiao Yungui also ordered Li Yiwen and Lin Qirong to temporarily guard the north gate and the south gate on behalf of the two generals, and Ji Wenyuan and Zhu Xineng still guarded the east gate and west gate. He also let Li Zuoche and Tang Erniu be deputy generals, and followed Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang out of the city to attack the enemy respectively.

At the moment, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, Li Zuoche, and Tang Erniu will go down first to prepare for the dispatch of troops, Xiao Yungui looked at Tong Qiangsheng and said: "Brother Tong will take his brother to investigate, and be sure to find out where the women's camp and the children's camp of Xiwangniang are now, and report back immediately as soon as there is news." ”

Tong Qiangsheng received the order loudly, and was about to leave, when Xiao Yungui suddenly said: "Brother Tong, do the few brothers under your command have a small family?" I'll order someone to be generous. ”

Tong Qiangsheng hesitated for a moment, his face froze, and he said with a little choked up: "Several brothers are all lonely and have no ......."

Xiao Yungui was stunned, how can he be compensated if he has no family? Tong Qiangsheng said in a low voice: "Thank you Your Royal Highness King Xi for your concern, the subordinates I chose are all single, so there will be no worries." My brothers and I don't expect any compensation after death, but only hope that one day, as the prince of the West said, we can really expel Hu Nu and restore the Han family, and then the people of the world will not forget them, which is enough. After speaking, Tong Qiangsheng saluted and turned to leave.

Looking at Tong Qiangsheng's back, Xiao Yungui's chest seemed to be blocked by something, and he was extremely sad. He has always just wanted to rely on these so-called brothers to save his life, but he didn't expect that these mud-legged people in his eyes really believed his "bold words" that day, and he just said those words casually, even he didn't believe it.

A sense of guilt suddenly hit his heart, Xiao Yun Guiqiang smiled and muttered: "It's you who are stupid, it has nothing to do with me, it's okay......"

Following Li Yiwen, Lin Qirong, Ji Wenyuan, and Zhu Xineng, the four generals also came to retire, which interrupted Xiao Yungui's thoughts, and after the four generals left, Xiao Yungui looked back at He Bin and Zhou Zhaoyao, and asked, "What happened to those Qing demon captives?" ”

He Bin stepped forward and said, "After adding some food to breakfast, there will be no more fuss." ”

Xiao Yungui snorted, and Zhou Zhaoyao said with some embarrassment: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, among these captives, there are more than a dozen people who are fellow villagers who are familiar with the villain, and they are all from a bitter background, they are willing to join my holy soldiers, I wonder if the King of the West can accept it?" ”

Xiao Yungui came back to his senses, and said with a sigh: "All the Qing Demon captives, you go carefully to screen once, as long as they are not weak soldiers who smoke a lot, they will be left for me, and the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled will be sent home together with the money and food donated tomorrow." ”

Zhou Zhaoyao was overjoyed when he heard this: "I knew that Xiwang Renhou would not want them to die. ”

He Bin frowned slightly and said: "The Hunan Green Battalion soldiers in the captives are all okay, and most of them are willing to join us, but most of those Shaanxi Green Battalion soldiers want to go home." ”

After Xiao Yungui pondered for a moment, he sighed lightly and said: "Those Shaanxi soldiers who are willing to stay will stay, and those who are unwilling will wait until the enemy in the north is defeated, and let them return to the north." ”
