Chapter 179: Defection

The vanguard of the Ming army was led by Li Xiao. Although there are only two thousand foot soldiers. Because of the long-term strapped to a ten-pound sandbag for long-distance running training. In this mountainous Yunnan mountain, you can walk like a fly. Pounce quickly to the north. I rushed for three days in a row. A few spies gradually sent back information about the Qing army. Sure enough, it was not beyond Li Xiao's expectations. The Qing army set up camp fifteen miles away. This is the border between Yunnan and Sichuan. The location of the Qing military camp was between the rolling hills.

This place is called Liangshan. It is a mountain range in the southwest of Sichuan. It is across the mountain from Yunnan. When it comes to camping. Not really. However, the entire landscape of Yunchuan is like this. There is no way to camp between the two mountains. By this time it was getting dark. Li Xiao ordered the whole army to advance another twelve or three miles. Gradually approaching the Qing camp.

The Ming army moved very quickly. They advanced rapidly between the rocks. See the mountains and open the way. See water crossing the river. Two hours later. So he quickly drove twelve miles. Rapid march. In addition, it was completely dark at this time. Li Xiao then ordered the soldiers to camp and rest. This time. The scouts of the Qing army had already discovered them. The scout looked away for a moment. He began to turn his horse back.

Li Xiao estimated that the Qing army would be able to rest after half an hour. Maybe in an hour or so, the Qing army a few miles away will pour out. Go on the offensive against yourself. He didn't dare to be careless. Although 2,000 warriors were armed with repeating firebolts. In this narrow mountain, it can be reduced to zero. By virtue of people. But after all, the number of people is too small. If you don't prepare in time, you'll just get caught up in a bitter battle. So on the side of the mountain, an ambush of more than 500 men and horses was laid. As long as the Qing army is together. This side is facing the enemy head-on. On the other side of the mountain, the team can also wait for an opportunity to surprise the enemy flank. Furthermore. Li Xiao also sent a number of scouts from the original mountain battalion out to investigate the movements of the Qing army. As soon as there is movement. can be notified immediately. And so on arranged these. Li Xiao took advantage of this gap to fall asleep.

Waited until midnight. Li Xiao was woken up by his own soldiers in a daze. In the midst of the mountains and mountains. A few miles ahead is the enemy. The army extinguished the fire again. Li Xiao's first reaction was to draw a knife and cut people. He also said that it was the Qing army that killed him. To be taken a closer look. It turned out that it was the personal soldier beside him who relieved his heart. I couldn't help but muttered a little angrily, "What a fuss." The Qing army did not kill. What are you doing fussily? ”

Scolding to scolding. Li Xiao still got up from the bluestone slab where he was sleeping. He rubbed his eyes and stretched his waist. Shaking his own soldier, he said, "My lord." The scouts are back. There is an important military situation. ”

Li Xiao raised his eyes. Behind the pro-soldier was a scout. Hurriedly beckoned him to stand closer. Sitting on the bluestone slab, he asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Has the Qing army already drawn out of camp? ”

"Your Excellency. The battalion of the Qing army mutinied. The whole camp was in disarray. The large camp that stretched for miles was full of cannibalism. Shimoko stood up. The eyes were as big as a brass bell. Then he shook his head to himself: "Impossible." In addition to the green camp of the Han army, there are also Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners in Sichuan. If someone mutinies. The Manmeng Eight Banners should be able to be suppressed immediately. You can't say that the Eight Banners of Manchu Mongolia are also reversed. Wrong. Wrong. It's impossible. No matter how much the Eight Banners of Manmeng are in battle, they will not mutiny. This may be a conspiracy of the Qing people. Yes. They deliberately lure us into attacking their camp. You're going to have a hard time. Then go and explore the reality of the enemy camp. ”

The scout said, "Your Excellency." This is definitely not intentional on the part of the Qing people. The subordinates saw the chaos in the Qing camp. I ventured closer to see it. Many of them were fighting with real guns. The dead bodies and pools of blood on the ground must not be fake. No matter how stupid the Qing people are, they can't really use their character to lure our army to be reasonable. The Qing army was outnumbered. Knowing that his small army was on the opposite side. It should be a vigorous and straight kill. Why bother to engage in such a trick. Although the mutiny of the Qing army sounds incredible. Don't miss it. If you miss this village, you won't have this store. Li Xiao shouted: "Come on." Wake up all the brothers. The ambush on the side of the hill was withdrawn. Assemble your team. Prepare for the offensive. ”

"Yes!" A few of the commanders stabbed in response. So he went and kicked the soldiers who were sleeping with their armor. Immediately, there was a flurry of shouting and scolding. It is important to know that everyone has been on the road for a few days. I can't help but be woken up in a half-dream. If you don't scold a few words, there will be no heavenly reason.

A moment later. The sleepy-eyed GIs straightened their ranks. Another general, just as sleepy-eyed as they were, stood on a boulder and shouted to them. Li Xiao's voice pierced the silent night sky: "Brothers. The time has come to make a difference. The emperor watched us from the sea. It doesn't matter if we have made meritorious deeds or become martyrs before dawn. It's worth it for a lifetime. ”

Li Xiao pointed to the front of the team. Mountains in the distance blocked his vision in the moonlight: "Ahead of us." There is a large camp of the Chinese army of the Qing army. There were 30,000 troops stationed in it. God bless the Ming. Now the Chinese army camp of the Qing army is in chaos. It just gave our vanguard a chance to rush and kill. We kill the past. Kill all these slave Tartars. Avenge thousands of Han compatriots! ”

Under the moonlight. Li Xiao pulled out his waist knife. Tip of the knife with the front finger. Fight and shout: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" The GIs were enthusiastic. Start moving your feet.

Qiqihar was escorted out of the camp by a group of domestic slaves. Sorotou was also protected by a group of cronies. Until this time. They really regretted it. The two of them were fighting. On the contrary, the whole camp boiled like a pot of boiling water. Indirectly triggered an inexplicable mutiny. In such a messy situation. The generals can't be suppressed at all. Countless people are roaring wildly. Shouting to kill the rebels. Cut off the mouth and body of the corrupt official. It's not that they're bloodthirsty. It's not that they're crazy. Just if you don't cut others. Maybe some madman will come out and stab you. In this situation. It's safest to keep yourself within a certain safety range. If anyone enters their safe zone, they must fight for their lives. Because you can't be sure if the other person will draw a knife against you. To save lives. It is safest to cut the opponent down first.

Strike first. After the next hand suffered. This truth, which has been handed down since ancient times, has become the mainstream consciousness of all Qing soldiers.

"It's over. Finished. Qiqihar was so frightened by such a tragic scene that his back scolded. The original official authority has long been lost. Fortunately, the only remaining house slaves around the perimeter are still loyal. Protect him in the middle. Constantly retreating outside the camp. Finally found a vacant land with few people and saved his life. Qiqihar was seriously injured in his right arm. I could only rest on a tree pole with my right arm covered.

It wasn't his right arm that hurt. It's his heart. Governors of the three provinces. Now there is such a big mess. Even if the court doesn't pursue it. This official is also considered to be the end. The wound on Qiqihar's arm was bleeding constantly. He was faced with a mess of the barracks. and one after another shouting kills. I didn't even think about how to stop it. Just thinking about their own back road. Now it's time for that. The governor must have come to an end. Whether the court will take action on itself is the real question. The stakes are too high. I'm afraid even my brother-in-law can't cover it.

He was not worried that the imperial court would raid his house and worship the mansion as a concubine. has a sister in the capital to take care of him, and the court will cut off his head at most, but how can his Qiqihar's head fall to the ground so easily? He still has a great deal of glory and riches that he has not yet enjoyed.

Not. Must live. Live well. Qiqihar told himself in his heart. A man dies like a lamp goes out. But there was nothing left. Niu Lu, who is inlaid with a yellow flag, has nothing to do with himself. The sister who married into Aofu has nothing to do with her. As early as when he entered the customs, the little wealth he sought from birth and death had nothing to do with him. It's all gone. Reduced to nothing. He once pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers to enter the customs and fight. once tried his best to send his sister to Aofu as a concubine. Finally have him today. But it's all over. Absolutely not. Must live.

"Master. Let's run. Flee to Chengdu or the capital. I can't stay here. There are rebels everywhere. There is a forest on the left. We walked through the woods. Further north...... "a house slave has lost his courage in the face of such a tragic scene. He bowed and persuaded Qiqihar to flee back. Bang. He wasn't done yet. was kicked in the heart by Qiqihar. Fell to the ground with a thud.

"Flee back? Hey. As soon as he escaped, he was going to be arrested and beheaded in prison. I lost my life. Will my father spare you minions? Don't forget. Your fathers, mothers, wives and children are all slaves of my family. Lao Tzu is dead. Your whole family has to follow your father to the funeral. The vigorous movement affected Qiqihar, and he already felt that his arm was completely disobedient. The blood was still pouring out. I can't stop it.

"Master. What do you say. We listen to you. Several of the coated minions had panic on their faces. They are all slaves born of the family. It has been the dog of the Qiqihar family for generations. If something happens to Qiqihar. The old lady in the house will let them go? Their whole family was a house slave. The old lady only needs one word. It is possible to kill everyone and their families present.

"The battalion can't go back." Qiqihar looked at the crazy camp in the distance. Going back is just sending you to death.

"Chengdu and Beijing can't go back." Qiqihar is glad that he still has a sister. It doesn't matter what sin you have committed. There is no need to worry about the imperial court punishing the family with the crime of exile to Ningguta as a slave to the armored people or beheading the whole family. So as long as he gets away with it. He didn't have to worry about anything at home.

"Let's go. Let's go south. Go to Kunming. Qiqihar made up his mind. (To be continued.) If you want to know what will happen next. Please lock. More chapters.
