The team made a slow progress along the hilly terrain, and the weather was a bit hazy, as if the rain would fall all the time. The men in front of them with rifles were vigorous, and the continuous march did not seem to show tiredness on their faces, and it was obvious that these people were well-trained. On the contrary, in the back half of the procession, the team carrying broadswords and spears on their shoulders walked with great difficulty, forming a strong contrast between the front and rear marching columns.

In the ranks of the Chinese army, He Meng often frowned and looked back, and Khalid kept shouting loudly, urging those behind to follow. "Captain, this foreign gun is indeed evil, it seems that its martial arts are not as good as a bullet, and the way of the world has really changed." Lin Xiong couldn't help but sigh. "This time, you know that I have only 200 people, and I dare to attack 300 of you. I tell you that now we have entered the age of firearms, and broadswords and spears are obsolete. Foreigners can play with muskets well, and we can still play with muskets well, and we can play better than foreigners. Leng Yifei instructed.

"Yes, I've learned the power of foreign guns, damn I'll play with muskets from now on!" Lin Xiong couldn't help but touch the revolver on his waist, as the captain of the second wolf team, he was qualified to carry a revolver. Spears are limited and these people can't shoot now, even if they are given rifles, they are like burning sticks, which can't do much except scare people, so the members of the second wolf team are still armed with broadswords and spears.

"How far is it from Lao Cai?" "I climbed over the hill in front of me and passed through a forest, and I was very familiar with this area." Lin Xiong suddenly remembered something and said, "Captain, Liu Yongfu knows me, what if he turns his face and doesn't recognize anyone?" "You are my person now, and besides, I am not defecting to Liu Yongfu, but cooperating with him to strangle the rebels. At the mention of the rebels, Lin Xiong had an embarrassed expression on his face.

Leng Yifei said deliberately: "The next step is to fight against the rebels, I don't know if Brother Lin can do it." "Captain, to be honest, it is indeed difficult to attack the brothers of the past, not to mention that I have such thoughts, my brothers will also be emotional. Captain I have a request? "What request?" "In the future, when I face the former brothers, please allow me to shout before the battle, so that my heart may feel better."

"Brother Lin! I thought of this, don't worry, I won't let you go into battle in the future. In the face of my former brother, even I can't stand it, this is human nature. "Captain, my subordinates are very grateful." "But I have a request for you?" "Captain, just command!" "In the future, my team will be expanded, and you will persuade them to join me as much as possible. I don't care what your background is, as long as you are sincere to me, you will be my brother. "Captain, don't worry, your subordinates will do their best."

Lin Xiong flattered: "Captain, although you are secretive, I have no right to know who the lord is. But you are people with great backgrounds, and I can guess eight or nine points if you don't say this. Let's just say that this foreign gun was not obtained by ordinary people. Your subordinates are well-trained, and each of them can fight well to be ten, Lin has no words, and he will give you a dead heart. "You can see this, it shows that you are a wise person, and I can tell you that there is no foreign gun team in the official army in Guangxi at the moment."

Lin Xiong looked at Leng Yifei's confident face, and felt that the road in the future had become broader. Looking back at his brothers, he found that they were all full of energy and high morale. He knew that the other party dared to absorb himself without scruples, which showed that this people's army was very powerful, and Lin Xiong had no second thoughts at this point.

Looking at the old street from afar, I can see it vividly, and soon the procession stopped at the city gate. Suddenly, a team appeared, causing a commotion among the Black Flag Army in the city. The gatekeepers quickly closed the gates, as if they were facing a great enemy. Leng Yifei ordered He Meng to camp on the spot outside the city. Seeing that the team below was not in a hurry to set up camp, a shout came from the city gate: "You are part of it, what are you doing here?" Khalid shouted in his voice: "We are the people's army, we have come to meet General Liu to discuss the matter of strangling the rebels, please report it quickly." After about a bag of cigarettes, the gate shouted, "Come in, your chief, and bring only one of your attendants." ”

Leng Yifei glanced at He Meng, and the two of them raised their legs and walked towards the city gate. When the soldiers guarding the door saw that they had no weapons in their hands, they let them go. When he came to Liu Yongfu's mansion of Deputy Admiral Sanxuan, he was blocked. With several announcements, the two were allowed to enter. The corridor was full of soldiers with swords in their hands, as if they were facing a great enemy, and the two of them entered with a high degree of skill. In the lobby, a man about forty years old was seated, with tiger-eyed eyes, and the lieutenants standing on both sides glared angrily.

"General Liu, Leng Yifei, the leader of the wolf team of the People's Army, greets General Liu!" Leng Yifei clasped his hands into fists. Liu Yongfu glared and said: "The People's Army, damn it, I've never heard of it, I think it's clearly a rebel army, and someone will take it for me." The generals on both sides drew their swords. Saying that it was too late, He Meng stepped forward with an arrow, pulled out his revolver and fired a shot at the ceiling, and then put the pistol on Liu Yongfu's head.

It's changing so fast, it's just dazzling. Even if Liu Yongfu and his subordinates have experienced a hundred battles, they are half a beat slower. "Don't move! I'll kill you if you move! He Meng shouted loudly. Faced with this scene, all the generals and officials, including Liu Yongfu himself, were stunned. Leng Yifei also took advantage of the situation to pull out his pistol and played: "General Liu, you look carefully, do the rebels have this kind of foreign gun?" Shall I wait for the rebels to come and die? ”

Liu Yongfu said: "There is no basis for what you say. My men and horses are just outside the city, and there are more than 200 foreign guns. In addition, on the way to come, the vanguard of Yang Guangcai's right flank was captured and Beiguang was occupied. Now this vanguard has surrendered to me. General Liu Yongfu was suspicious: "Who is the leader of the rebels stationed in Beiguang?" "This person's name is Lin Xiong, and he is currently outside the city, so you can see it at a glance."

Liu Yongfu was taken aback when he heard this: "Lin Xiong is a fierce general, and there are more than 300 people under his command. You not only captured Beiguang but also captured this person? Someone who came immediately went to check it out. An adjutant general quickly ran out. About half an hour, the lieutenant general hurriedly entered and whispered in Liu Yongfu's ear. Liu Yongfu had a shocked look on his face, and then a smile. Seeing this, He Meng put away his pistol and walked down, and the lieutenants on both sides also put away their swords.

“haha！ Misunderstand! Misunderstand! I didn't expect the people's army to be equipped with foreign guns, which is incredible. Where are you from? "General Liu, we are on the orders of the lord to assist General Liu in strangling the rebels." "Who is the lord?" "I apologize for the inconvenience. The lord admired General Liu's personality and knew that the general was loved by the people and had the virtue of a good life, so he sent him to assist the general in strangling the rebels and return a peaceful paradise. It was inconvenient for the other party to tell who the owner was, and Liu Yongfu immediately judged that the person who could form the foreign gun team would never be incompetent, and he must be a heavyweight.

Liu Yongfu's expression changed greatly: "Serve the food immediately, I want to wash the dust for the cold hero." During the banquet, Leng Yifei took out a package from his arms and opened it and said: "General Liu, my brother didn't come with any gifts, this is a revolver, 100 rounds of ammunition, please accept it with a smile." Liu Yongfu's eyes widened when he saw it: "Leng Hero, the gift is too valuable." ”

Seeing Liu Yongfu playing with the revolver, Leng Yifei knew that he couldn't fiddle, so he patiently explained. After a while, Liu Yongfu couldn't resist his curiosity and left the table and entered the courtyard, pulling the trigger at the sky, only to hear a gunshot, Liu Yongfu himself was startled. “haha！ Foreign guns are such a good thing! Then another shot was fired into the ground, and then all four rounds remained.

Liu Yongfu was hooked, and he was refreshed after entering the table again. "General Liu loves foreign guns so much, he can help in the future." "Well said, well said!" Liu Yongfu was in a good mood and immediately ordered Leng Yifei to lead the team into the city. At this time, the military advisor stood up and underestimated a few words in Liu Yongfu's ear: "Leng Hero, I'm really sorry, there are many soldiers in the city at present, and it is impossible to settle them for the time being." It's getting late, so please camp outside the city for the time being, and we will decide tomorrow after we discuss. ”

Walking out of the city gate, He Meng said indignantly: "It seems that they still don't trust us!" Leng Yifei said: "Now the form of Annan is complicated, the old street is Liu Yongfu's old cave, he has been running here for more than ten years, there is nothing wrong with being careful." Besides, no one in the People's Army has heard of it, and it is normal for people to have objections. He Meng said: "Captain, if the other party is not sincere, what should we do?" "Don't make noise when you go back, we have to be patient, understand?"

At this time, the military advisor said: "My lord, we have never heard of the military and the people, and we don't know what the origin of this civilian army equipped with foreign guns is, so we have to guard against it." On the surface, Lin Xiong submitted to him, but it is difficult to say whether it is true or not. If they are allowed to enter the city in case something happens, we simply can't resist it. "What you said makes sense, the fact that this foreign gun team of the people's army easily captured Lin Xiong's men and horses makes people suspicious, and Lin Xiong defected to the people's army. But I know what Yang Guangcai is, and in my observation, Leng Yifei is definitely not his person, so I can be sure. The military advisor had an idea and said, "My lord, I think it's ・・・・・・ to do this." ”

The next day, after Leng Yifei and his team members finished training, the military advisor came to the outside of the city with two lieutenant generals, "Leng Hero, wait for yourself." The Admiral's official duties are really inseparable. At present, the rebels are in turmoil, and the people in the city are unstable. If the cold hero leads the team into the city, it may cause panic. Since it was a joint stranglehold of the rebels, Lord Liu hoped that Leng Yingying would go to Xian'an to station. ”

The military advisor said politely: "Leng Hero, at present, our Black Flag army has no more than 2,000 soldiers, and Yang Guang has tens of thousands of horses. Therefore, we do not dare to act rashly. General Feng Lao sent a letter a few days ago that the official army will enter Annam in the near future, and then we will discuss sending troops to strangle the rebels. The military advisor confessed, leaving Leng Yifei speechless.

"What? Heading to Ham'an to station? Xian'an is currently in the hands of Yang Guangcai! Lin Xiong said in surprise. Damn, Liu Yongfu didn't have a good heart. Several captains condemned one after another. Leng Yifei asked: "How many soldiers and horses are stationed in Xian'an?" "It's Yang Guangcai's 5th bid on the left, 500 soldiers and horses." "If you plan it, we will take down the dangerous Xian'an, show it to Liu Yongfu, and let him completely get rid of his suspicions."

At present, Yang Guangcai's old cave is in Taiyuan, north of Hanoi, and the left road is entrenched in Xuanhua. Xian'an is a northwestern household guarding Xuanhua, located on the west side of the Lujiang River. Liu Yongfu's purpose is very clear, first, to test the authenticity of Leng Yifei, and second, to test his combat ability at the time of authenticity. The team set out that day and arrived in the southwest of Xian'an in the evening of the next day.

"Report to the captain, after reconnaissance, Xian'an is a city but not high, the height of the wall is about four meters, and there is a city gate in the southeast and northwest. According to the size of Xian'an, there will not be too many soldiers and horses. "The scout came back to report. Leng Yifei convened the team leaders to discuss.

"Lin Xiong, tell me about the situation in Xian'an and Xuanhua!" "Xian'an is the northwest gateway of Xuanhua, there are 500 soldiers and horses, the department is the fifth mark on the left side of Yang Guangcai, the leader is called Wei Tianbao, belongs to Yang Guangcai's lineage. Xuanhua stationed 2,000 people, Yang Guangcai's left guard, the chief soldier is called Wei Tianxiong, is Wei Tianbao's brother. Leng Yifei pondered for a while after listening to Lin Xiong's explanation.

"Xian'an is less than 100 miles away from Xuanhua, in order not to alarm the enemy army in Xuanhua, I decided to attack by night and capture Xian'an by surprise attack. He Meng! "Here!" He Meng stood up! "You lead two squads to form a sharp knife team to lead the city, and use a surprise attack on Wei Tianbao's headquarters, and strive to defeat his headquarters as quickly as possible." "Yes! Subordinates understand! ”

"Lin Xiong!" "Here!" Lin Xiong stood up. "You lead the second wolf team to block the city gates on both sides, and your task is to capture the stragglers." "Yes! Subordinates obey orders! Lin Xiong's face showed joy, knowing that the captain was taking care of himself. Now that you've looked at the table, I've decided to start at midnight. Leng Yifei said decisively.
