In the winter of the sixth year of Tongqing, the Qing Dynasty and the imperial court ordered the dismissal of the commanders of the army aiding Guizhou, and ordered Xi Qitian to gather more than 18,000 people from the old part of the "Xijia Army" into Guizhou, and the president assisted the troops of Guizhou to quell the rebellion in Miaojiang.

Xi Qitian named Gong Jichang to guard Yuanzhou, there was no way, Gong Jichang, who was idle at home, had to be ordered, once again carried the armor-piercing gun, went to Yuanzhou to take office, and began the eight-year Pingmiao campaign.

Gong Jichang has gone through hundreds of battles and captured countless Miao villages. As soon as they arrived in Yuanzhou, the Miao army attacked Gong Jichang's defenders from Huitong, Gong Jichang led his troops to repel the Miao army in one fell swoop, entered Guimao County from Guangping, and jointly conquered the village, taking advantage of the situation to capture Podong, Deming, Taigang, Taijia and other Miao army strongholds, and assisted the other three "Xijia Army" to fight.

In the previous battles of encircling and suppressing Liping Mansion, Gong Jichang beheaded Gui Jinbao, the leader of the Miao army, and killed nearly 10,000 Miao troops.

In April of the seventh year of Tongqing, the imperial court officially promoted Gong Jichang to the rank of admiral because of his merits, and gave him the title of Eteng Yibarutu, and then continued to conquer Guimao County.

Along the way, Gong Jichang's little brother Rong Weishan was brave and invincible, and he was out of the limelight, but Gong Jichang became a backup force, specializing in picking up leaks and being responsible for pacifying Miao Min.

There was a musket marksman in the Miao army, and the legendary sharpshooter and sniper were at the same level, and there was no one in the Jingnan army for a while, and many soldiers were sniped and killed.

When Rong Weishan heard about it, he immediately went to fight alone, grabbed his subordinate musket in front of the battle, and knocked down the Miao army sharpshooter with one shot.

Miao Bing was furious, and its leader Yang Lao, known as the enemy of 10,000 people, came to find Rong Weishan to fight and take revenge. Yang Lao rode a tall black horse, rushed to the front of the Jingnan army, and killed ten people in a row, but no one in the army dared to fight.

Rong Weishan jumped off the horse, jumped directly under Yang Lao's horse with a knife, cut off the horse's leg with a knife, and fought him alone on the ground.

The two are on par with each other's knife skills, but Rong Weishan is born with divine power and can lift five hundred catties, Yang Lao gradually fell behind, and finally his arm was cut off, and he died of excessive blood loss.

Single-handedly Rong Weishan is the strongest in the Jingnan Army, but he doesn't know how to use soldiers, and the nightmare will come soon.

In the seventh year of Tongqing, after Tang Jiong, the alternate prefect of Luchuan, led the army to exterminate the "Trumpet Army", he launched an attack on the Miao army, and captured the old state city and the new state city of Huangping on November 28 and December 7......

Celebrate the spring of the eighth year.

Huang Runchang arrived at Guimao Qingxi. Xi Qitian ordered Huang Runchang to march west along the Zhenyang River, and ordered the named Admiral Rong Weishan to lead his troops north from the village head and attack Zhenyuanfu.

On March 10, Xi's army captured the two cities of Zhenyuan and Erwei. Subsequently, Huang Runchang led his army west to attack Shi Bing, while Rong Weishan led his army south, joined up with Li Guangliao and Ge Jian's troops who were advancing west along the Qingshui River, and captured Qingjiang Hall City on April 9.

Then, Xi Qitian ordered Rong Weishan to go from Qingjiang and Peng Zhiliang to Shiqian, and led his troops to Zhenyuan to meet Huang Runchang's department.

On April 30, the "Xijia Army" of Huang Runchang, Rong Weishan, Peng Zhiliang and other troops captured Shibing County, and the Miao army retreated westward.

In order to quickly open up the post road and join up with the "Luchuan Army" that had already occupied Huangping, Chong'an, and Qingping, Xi's army took advantage of the victory to advance to Huangpingzhou.

On May 1 and May 2, more than 20,000 people of the Jingnan Army led by Huang Runchang, Rong Weishan, Deng Ziyuan, etc., captured the important strongholds of the Miao Army, Baixizhai (more than 10 kilometers south of Shi Bingnan) and Wenggulong (more than 20 kilometers southeast of Huangping), and stationed there.

Wenggu Long to Huangping, there are Miao villages such as Huangpiao (10 kilometers southeast of Huangping) in the middle. The valley in the Huangpiao area is deep and steep, and there are many places where you can only walk alone or by horse, and you can't stand side by side. There is a section of canyon that is six miles long, from the Yellow Piao's Widow Slope to the big pass, the terrain is very dangerous, it is a good place to set up an ambush.

Before leaving, Gong Jichang suggested to Rong Weishan: "Brother Rong, we have fought all the way, and we have gone deep into the hinterland of the Miao people, and the terrain is unfamiliar, so we should stop the offensive operation." ”

Without waiting for Rong Weishan to speak, Huang Runchang took the lead in answering: "The merit is in the guerrilla, if you give it up, the post road will still be blocked, and it is better to chase it by victory." ”

Gong Jichang said: "Don't ...... Why don't I take a few of my own soldiers to survey the terrain and make a decision? ”

Rong Weishan was proud of the victory at this time: "Big brother, those Miao people have been beaten by us, there is no need to investigate, if you are afraid of death, just stay in Baixi Village." When I open the post road, you will lead the army over. ”

"All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted. It's better to be careful. For days, I have been having the same nightmare......" Gong Jichang suddenly stopped talking.

"Big brother, did you dream that I was beheaded by Miao Jun, didn't you?" Rong Weishan said with a smile.

"Hmm." Gong Jichang nodded.

"Don't worry, I'm the only one who cut off Miao Jun's head, and the person who Miao Jun cut off my head hasn't been born yet!" Rong Weishan laughed. Because Rong Weishan killed Miao Jun all the way, he was invincible, he didn't meet an opponent, and he thought that Zhang Xiumei and they were vulnerable.

Gong Jichang looked at Rong Weishan's huge head, and didn't say anything more, thinking, brother, don't get carried away when you are proud.

On May 3, Xi Jiajun, with Rong Weishan as the front team, General Soldier Zhang Yidao as the second team, General Soldier Su Yuanchun as the third team, Deng Ziyuan as the fourth team, and Huang Runchang as the rear team, set off from Wenggulong and walked along the mountain road.

Rong Weishan, who was at the forefront, saw a Miao army of more than 800 people, relying on the advantage of firepower and superior troops, Rong Weishan quickly repelled the small army and entered the widowhood slope.

The Miao army fought and left, retreating to the Huangpiao canyon, and Rong Weishan and his troops also chased behind the Miao army. Then Su Yuanchun's troops also came, see you guy

Zhang Xiumei, Bao Da Belly, and Pan Tianjiu, the leader of Huang Piao Miao Village, commanded more than 10,000 Miao troops to set up an ambush here, silently.

When the large army of Jingnan entered the valley, they successively drilled into the ambush circle, and said to Zhang Xiumei: "King, can you take your pockets?" ”

Zhang Xiumei raised his hand: "Wait a little longer-"

Bao Dabelly said anxiously: "King, if you don't do it again, the big-headed ghost in front of you, Rong Weishan, will slip away." ”

"The large army in the back is the main target of our attack......" Zhang Xiumei paused, "As long as this king opens fire on their rear team, Rong Weishan will definitely fight back to help." ”

Bao Da's belly frowned: "King, what if Rong Weishan doesn't come back?" ”

"I bet that the boss is surrounded, and that big-headed ghost will definitely come back." Zhang Xiumei is full of confidence.

Soon, the "Xi Family New Army" of Huang Runchang and Deng Zi, who were walking behind, also entered the widowhood slope, swaggering one by one, not thinking that this place was their cemetery.

"Collect your pockets!" Zhang Xiumei said, then put two fingers in his mouth, and a long whistle sounded through the canyon, telling the ambushed Miao army to prepare for an attack with a code.

As a result, the "bird calls" in the mountains came and went, the Miao army rose suddenly, the front blocked and the rear intercepted, the rolling wood and stones on the mountain poured down like a storm, and the bird guns, earth cannons, bows and arrows were fired together.

The Xi family's army was caught off guard, chaotic, people and horses trampled on each other, and many people were killed and wounded. Due to the suddenness of the incident, those advanced artillery pieces did not have time to be fired, and those Miao troops took advantage of the situation to attack, rushed down from the mountain, and the sound of shouting and killing spread throughout the valley, fighting hand-to-hand combat with the Xi family army at close range, wielding knives and fierce battles.

Previously, the Miao army set up a false road in the valley on one side to the top of the cliff. After the battle began, the Jingnan army found that there was a wide and relatively flat passage, so they scrambled to escape along this road, and fell under the cliff like dumplings one after another, and countless Jingnan soldiers died here.

Coach Huang Runchang hit the head for the mountain cannon, and immediately fell under the horse, Deng Ziyuan of the fourth team saw this, rode his horse and ran to Huang Runchang's side, jumped off the horse, and carried the seriously injured Huang Runchang in one hand, and raised a knife in the other hand to fight with the Miao army who came closely. Seeing that the coach Huang Runchang's life was in danger, the other generals quickly moved closer to Deng Ziyuan and desperately protected the deputy coach to break through.

In the fierce battle, Luo Fei, Ling Zilong, Yang Hongliang, Zou Sizhong, Tan Jianhou and other generals were all hacked to death by the Miao army. Although Deng Ziyuan was seriously wounded, he still led his subordinates to continue to break through, rushed to a place 500 meters away from the big pass, and shouted with his last strength: "Rong Wuzhuang, save me-"

As soon as the words fell, Bao Dabelly rushed over with hundreds of Miao soldiers holding scimitars, surrounded Deng Ziyuan, and hacked Deng Ziyuan, Huang Runchang and others to death with a burst of knives.

Hearing Deng Ziyuan's cry for help, Rong Weishan, who had already passed the big pass, looked back and exclaimed: Oh no, the troops behind were ambushed.

Rong Weishan said anxiously: "Brother Zixi (Su Yuanchun's character), kill back with me, rescue the soldiers behind as soon as possible, and recapture the remains of Deng Ziyuan and Huang Runchang?" ”

Su Yuanchun resolutely disagreed: "It's too dangerous in the canyon, and if you go back, you will be wiped out, and we can't be sure how many enemies there are?" ”

"If you don't save you when you die, it's inhuman!" Rong Weishan took his clothes and took the knife, patted the horse and folded back, and more than 1,000 of his subordinates also followed Rong Weishan to kill back.

Su Yuanchun couldn't stop the angry Rong Weishan, there was no way, so he had to follow Rong Weishan back, he didn't want to bear the charge of escaping: "Hey...... Rong Weishan doing this is tantamount to a pack of wolves that will be raised, and they will definitely die! ”

Rong Weishan rushed back with his subordinates, one by one, and all of a sudden, twenty-one Miao soldiers fell under Rong Weishan's knife, getting closer and closer to the bodies of Deng Ziyuan and others.

It was this last 200 meters that Rong Weishan fought for an hour, but still did not repel those brave Miao people. Subsequently, there were more and more Miao troops, and they surrounded Rong Weishan and Su Yuanchun several layers inside and out.

"Invalids, what should I do?" Su Yuanchun said with his back to Rong Weishan.

"Brother Zixi, we can't get back the corpses of the two adults. The only way now is to break through separately, and I will break off. Rong Weishan raised his knife and cut down a Miao soldier who rushed up.

"No, let's go together." Su Yuanchun said.

Rong Weishan shouted: "Let's go together, we all have to die!" Take your brothers away, it's an order! ”
