Sun Degong had no choice but to follow the plan of his descendants Youguang, and ordered the generals to gather the chaotic army, count the losses, and prepare to move the army south tomorrow.

After counting, Sun Degong's Zhengbaiqi Han army did not suffer much loss, and only lost more than 200 people in the first battle of Xin'an, but the grain and gunpowder had been exhausted under the fire.

The next day, Sun Degong ordered the whole army to march straight to Tongkou Town and Liu Lizhuang Town at the southern end of Xin'an County.

The people of Tongli did not dare to resist, under the leadership of the rich gentleman Zhao Shiqi, surrendered to the Dongyu, for the sake of their lives, they emptied the grain in the town, slaughtered the chickens and ducks at home, opened the town gate, and welcomed the Qing army into the town.

However, their groveling did not exchange for the tolerance of the pigtailed soldiers, and the red-eyed traitor army, after eating and drinking, immediately launched a terrible massacre in Tongli Town.

Wielding long knives, they went out into the streets in groups of three or five, cutting down anyone they saw.

Where did the unarmed people of Tongli dare to resist, one by one they kept kowtowing to these beasts and begging for mercy, and their foreheads were stained with blood.

However, their pleas for mercy only stimulated the already crazy traitor army. The beasts tore open the women's dresses in full view of everyone, and pounced on them one by one with red eyes, as the women cried and pleaded.

As soon as the bloody man wanted to resist, he was slashed by the traitor army who was watching from the sidelines, and then broke into the house and removed all the valuable belongings.

Nearly 1,000 Tongli people were forcibly driven out of the town and taken to the edge of the horse shed, where they then threatened them with long knives into throwing themselves into the boiling river.

After jumping into the water, many people who knew how to swim forward desperately were swimming forward, but the beasts raised their bows and arrows one after another.

Under the butcher's knife of the pigtail soldiers, more than 1,000 Tongli people all died tragically in the horse shed lake, because of choking water, the stomach bulging like a fish bubble corpse, along the lake, floating everywhere, the lake is even more blood-red.

The atrocities of the Dongyu were soon spread to Lijiashan by the sentinels sent by Wang Zhong to Mapengdian.

"Lao Tzu wants to kill all these man-eating beasts!"

In Lijiazhai, in the Juyi Hall, Li Xingzhi angrily swung his knife and slashed over the desk in front of him.

Qian Anning hesitated and said: "The big boss, the Dongyu is brutal and fierce, our army has not been formed for a long time, how can we be their opponents, we still hold on to the cottage, it is a safe policy." ”

Li Xingzhi shouted angrily: "When a certain family became an army, there was a saying that it would do the right thing for heaven, and now the east is raging, how can the owner of this village sit back and watch them cause trouble in Baoding, today is to discuss with Er and others how to fight slaves, and to talk about the cottage again." ”

Zhang Shaoqian got up and asked, "The big boss, if you want to send troops to attack the slaves, I don't know if you have a plan?" ”

Li Xingzhi said hatefully: "According to the sentinel news, the main general of this group of pigtailed soldiers should be Sun Degong, they were originally the Ming army, and their combat effectiveness is definitely far inferior to that of real Manchuria, and now that they have slaughtered Tongli, they are either stationed in Tongli tonight, or Liu Lizhuang Town, I intend to set off with the whole army now, and attack and disturb at night, so that the Tartars are tired of running for their lives, what do you think?" ”

Yang Biao said: "Brother Li, if it's just harassment, it won't hurt Dongyu at all, I don't know how we will act tomorrow." ”

Li Xingzhi said coldly: "The Tartars drove the people of Tongli into the horse shed, let's come this time to use the way of others to control their people, harass their army tonight, Sun Degong will be angry, tomorrow will definitely send troops to search, let's attract a group to enter the city, and then dig the embankment of the horse shed lake at night, so that the east captives will die by themselves." ”

Hearing that Li Xingzhi didn't want to fight head-on with the pigtail soldiers, Qian Anning and the others didn't say much.

Li Xingzhi immediately ordered: "First pass a letter to Wang Zhong to transfer some slightly larger fishing boats over, Li Rui, you lead the artillery team and bird gunners to board the boat, cruise to Tongli and Liu Lizhuang, wait for the main brigade of the village, we will shell the enemy camp at night." ”

"Whoa!"

Li Rui got up and clenched his fists and shouted to receive the order.

After arranging the artillery team, Li Xingzhi looked at Yang Biao, and ordered again: "Yang Biao, Li Jiashan will be handed over to you, you can mobilize the seven hundred young men by yourself, and I will allocate you five more Mandarin Duck soldiers, our Li Jiashan has three trenches, mud walls, and so many arrow towers, if there are pigtail soldiers to kill, we can use stones and rolling wood to support it for a few days." ”

Yang Biao quit and shouted loudly: "Why do you go to fight the Tartars and let Lao Tzu stay in the cottage?" Lao Tzu has long wanted to teach these sons of bitches a good lesson. ”

Everyone looked at Yang Biao in surprise, this product has always been fierce and inward-looking, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, how could he be so bold this time, this time it was not those officials and soldiers in Gaoyang who came, but the cannibalistic Tartars.

Yang Biao said angrily: "What do you think I do? Although Lao Tzu is not a hard bone, but Li Ge'er's parents were killed by the Tartars, Li Ge'er's parents are Lao Tzu's parents, this hatred is not shared, of course Lao Tzu has to teach these Tartars a good lesson. ”

Li Xingzhi said with a smile: "Brother Yang's kindness, my brother knows, but Lijiazhai is our fundamental place, if we go out, if the cottage changes, then we will be homeless, there are nearly 2,000 people in Sun Degong's department, we can't eat so much at one time, Brother Yang is still afraid that there will be no Tartar to kill?" ”

Yang Biao knew that what Li Xingzhi said was reasonable, so he had to reluctantly accept the military order.

After arranging for Yang Biao to guard the camp, Li Xingzhi said to Zhang Shaoqian and Chen Wudao: "Brother Zhang and Brother Chen can immediately order the remaining soldiers of the Gangfeng Battalion and the Flame Battalion, and we will swear to go on the expedition today." ”

Zhang Shaoqian and Chen Wu also stood up to take the order.

Soon!

Twenty-five mandarin duck soldiers, eighty musketeers, and thirty archers, led by their respective officers, lined up on the school field in front of the cottage.

Li Xingzhi took Zhang Shaoqian and Chen Wu to step on the platform.

Looking at the nearly 400 soldiers on the school field, Li Xingzhi drew his sword and roared: "Brothers, as the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, and now the Dongyu has killed our Gaoyang, just today, they slaughtered the people of Tongli Town, you say, what should we do?" ”

"Protect the cottage and protect the family!"

Chen Wu and Zhang Shaoqian on the stage raised their hands and roared hoarsely.

"Protect the cottage and protect the family!"

The officers in the army also roared.

"Protect the cottage and keep the family small."

Emotions are contagious, and hundreds of soldiers are clamoring.

Li Xingzhi pressed his hands weakly, and said in a loud voice: "This time our enemy is the murderous Manchurian Tartar, but the Tartar is also a human being, and it is also raised by his father and mother, and it is also two shoulders against one head. ”

"The owner of the village said well, the Tartar is also a human, we are afraid of what he will do, people die and birds are facing the sky, they will not die for thousands of years, and the head has fallen off but the scar of the bowl is big, we did it!"

Zhang Shaoqian and Chen Wu waved their hands desperately and roared again.

"Go down the mountain with the owner of the village and beat him up for a dog day!" Hundreds of soldiers will be enthusiastic one by one, desperately knocking the equipment in their hands on the ground, and the school field seems to be trembling.

Precisely:

The world is tilted by the emperor's room,

The land of the Central Plains is full of blood.

The tiger is afraid of the first minister,

Gaoyang drunkards are bold.
