32. A hodgepodge
Not to mention that General Chen is still an old man, his strategy of doing the opposite this time has worked, which is completely beyond Du Cheng's expectations.
When the pirates were still looting in Fanjiazhuang, a battalion of guards who came to the sea and sand rushed here.
Since General Chen let Wu guerrilla lead the army independently, he believed in his strength very much.
Wu Guerrilla could have done it earlier, but he didn't, he looked at the side for half an hour, and asked his subordinates to go around to find out the news, and found that the number of this cargo bandit was indeed small, so he started to do it.
Don't look at it, this is a battalion mixed with the garrison guards, the combat power is very good, the five hundred people of the guards are different, they are all built according to the training methods of the border army, and they are sharp blades.
As soon as Wu Guerrilla made a move, Jiang Dazui knew that it was broken.
It's not like last night, it's dark, the road is slippery, and it's a temporary collision, the guards are not prepared, and I don't know how many pirates there are, and they are a little bit spared.
In broad daylight, more than a thousand people, fighting more than a hundred people, it's too easy.
Jiang Dazui actually has more than three hundred, but there are only more than one hundred here at the dock, and some of them are fighting the Fan family, and some of them are robbing, okay, they happened to be dispersed and destroyed.
Jiang Dazui was still smart, he didn't look right, and ran away directly with dozens of subordinates.
There were less than 300 pirates left, and the officers and soldiers together with the young men of Fanjiazhuang took more than half an hour to annihilate them, which can be regarded as avenging the people.
Here, Fanjiazhuang will clean up the mess and not mention it, let alone the bandits.
Looking at Jiang Dazui's embarrassed appearance, Du Cheng was shocked. Seeing that there were less than ten miles to reach Fanjiazhuang, he ran into the defeated Jiang Dazui.
Du Cheng was angry, but now was not the time to be more serious, so he could only quickly find a way to escape.
"Big brother, let's go to the tea lake, it's more hidden, the place is big, and it's not easy to be discovered."
Jiang Dazui knew that the matter was messed up this time, so he could only quickly find a way to make up for it.
Looking at more than a dozen carts of things, Du Cheng knew that he could only do this at present, and took advantage of the fact that the officers and soldiers did not react, so he found a place to hide first, and then thought of a way at night.
At the sound of an order, the remaining more than 500 pirates quickly turned around again and fled in the direction of Tonghai.
In a river near the official road, hundreds of embarrassed pirates collapsed on a fairly clean grass despite the muddy water on their bodies, resting and gnawing on dry food.
The Black Dragon King sat under the few trees, discussing countermeasures. Running to this place, they noticed that something was wrong, as if the road had forked in the road.
From morning to now, the officers and men who were chasing had been holding on tightly, and they quickened the pace of their escape.
At first, they were very confident, and with the abundant physical strength of the pirates and their ability to adapt to the harsh environment, the officers and men could not catch up at all.
But later it turned out that this was not the case, and the officers and men somehow rushed forward desperately, and they were almost able to see their faces clearly recently.
The Black Dragon King is very anxious, it is daytime, and he has been entangled with the officers and soldiers for a long time, once the surrounding officers and soldiers surround him, it is a way of thinking.
When he was in a hurry, one of his subordinates came up with a solution.
He knew a way, he could bypass it from the trail and go to the tea lake along the river of the Ji River, where the place was big, and there was no problem in hiding a few hundred people, and he would wait until the evening to find a way.
As soon as the Black Dragon King heard this, this was good, and immediately followed this kid and began to flee towards the tea lake.
Not to mention a nest of snakes and rats, Du Cheng and the Black Dragon King all came to the tea lake, but the tea lake was too big and not in the same direction.
They didn't meet, so naturally they didn't know that the other party was here, and they didn't know that even Ichiro Yokoi, a stupid person, was hiding in the tea lake.
Yokoi Ichiro can't help it, coming out of Tonghai County, it's almost dawn.
Think about it, even the Black Dragon King and Du Cheng are afraid that they will be besieged by the official army during the day, and Yokoi Ichiro is not a Han at first glance, let alone a Han person, don't you hide and wait to be besieged by the official army.
Du Cheng, who came from Fu'an, probably had more than 500 bandits hiding in the northwest direction of the tea lake, the Black Dragon King and more than 600 bandits hiding in the southeast direction, and Yokoi Ichiro hiding in the northeast direction of the tea lake.
The three bandits all had one mind, if the officers and soldiers were attracted by others, they would be safe.
But they didn't know that now the three groups of people had all run to Chahu, not only did they not have a way to retreat, but they also attracted all the surrounding officers and soldiers.
General Liu, who has been chasing the Black Dragon King, is also full of lawsuits.
Seeing that they were about to chase the bandits, they all saw the last few people who were dragging behind, and after a turn, suddenly all the people were gone.
General Liu Shen began to think that he had run away, so he hurriedly urged the soldiers to follow closely, and increased his strength, chasing for half an hour, and he was almost in Yongfeng, but he didn't see the shadow of the bandits.
General Liu Shen was sweating and didn't say anything, and his heart was dead.
A battalion of the garrison army was stationed here in Yongfeng, and Wu Guerrilla was very happy to see General Liu.
For fear that he would not be able to withstand the miscellaneous cards of half of the regiment, he knew a little bit about the combat effectiveness of the bandits, one-on-one, and the officers and soldiers were not one.
If there are hundreds of pirates coming together, let alone encircling and annihilating the pirates, they can't even stop them, and now that General Liu's soldiers are here, he is much more relieved.
But looking at General Liu, I felt that the situation was not right, and seeing that the morale of the officers and soldiers was high, how could I see that my people were suddenly relieved, and now they are all collapsed on the dock, and they can't help them.
General Liu followed Wu Guerrilla to the prepared room, and then explained the previous situation in detail.
From morning to night, after chasing down more than 50 miles, they put a few mouthfuls of dry food, and the officers and men simply relied on one breath to hold on, and in the end they found that they had not caught up, and the bandits were gone, so they could not hold back their breath.
Wu Guerrilla called a steward from Yongfeng here, said a few words, and asked, "Is there any place around here where a few hundred people can be hidden?" ”
"We have a lot of rivers and lakes here, some of them may be a ditch, and a boat can run around, and if you want to talk about the hidden places around, many rivers can hide a little, but they are not big. I have heard of a place, Tea Lake, I have not been there, from here more than 20 miles, there is a big depression, hundreds of acres, full of reeds, hundreds of thousands of people hiding in it can not be found at all, the inside is very complicated, people who do not know the way, they are trapped in it. ”
The steward has been here for several years, and I've heard a lot about the surrounding area.
"More than 20 miles, they can't run, it is said that they can't run far, it should be on the side, is there any big village or something near here?" General Liu looked at a simple map in his hand, "Look, it's disappearing around here." ”
The steward took a look, it was okay, and he also knew the map, "My lord, there is a convenient road here, you can go directly to the Ji River, there is a river over there, and then there is a very big Zhuangzi called Jijiazhuang." ”
"That's right, they must have followed this road to Jihe, their most urgent thing is to find a boat, Jijiazhuang has a boat, and it is a big village, they can also find the food and materials they need, and when they rest, we will not be able to fight." General Liu immediately saw the key link and immediately stood up.
Seeing the guards who had rested a little, there was no choice but to hold on first, and whoever could hold on to the end would be the winner.
"Brothers, brothers, do you want to find the brutes? Do you want to avenge our family? Tell me, did you give up? ”
"No, no, no...... Kill the bandits, kill the bandits, ......" shouted one after another, and all the officers and soldiers stood up.
"Brothers, let's kill the bandits!!" General Liu didn't say anything more.
Hundreds of people seemed to be full of fighting spirit in an instant, they quickly sorted out their bags, and quickly lined up the charging formation with weapons. The steward took two people to volunteer to be guides, and he sighed in his heart, this is the real officer and soldier, a soldier who can think about the people.
General Liu didn't bother with other places, he only thought about killing all the bandits in front of him, and naturally ignored the place of Chahu.
When Jiang Dazui came last time, he found out that Chahu is a natural hiding place.
The water surface here is very wide, with a radius of twenty or thirty miles, and there are many bird islands in the middle, and the environment is very harsh. If you are not familiar with this place, you can't get out at all, there are too many rivers.
There is a local under Jiang Dazui, who grew up on the edge of the river and is very familiar with this place, otherwise Jiang Dazui would not dare to come here.
Jiang Dazui was resentful in his heart, he was the little leader who ran out of Zhangzhou with Du Cheng, because he admired Du Cheng's strategy and righteousness, so he did not leave when the officers and soldiers were encircled and suppressed.
Among the entire bandits on Dongshan Island, it can be said that he is the hardest working person, all the contacts on Dongshan Island are made by him, the news is inquired by him, and the plan suggestions are made by him every time.
Every time he went out of the island to rob, he didn't shrink back, and he didn't lag behind others when he charged, but what did he get!
said that he was the fifth master, except for a few people who inquired about the news, no one on the island listened to him at all, he was working hard for Dongshan Island with his head, but what about them, where is there a little gratitude.
No matter how much money is divided, he picks the rest from others, and no leader on Dongshan Island really treats him as a brother, and they all think that he is a trickster.
Jiang Dazui knew Du Cheng's temper, and he would definitely not fall in love with the Black Dragon King and the dwarf ghost man, and that meeting place was a disguise. So he secretly left a few small boats here in the tea lake very early on.
When they arrived at Chahu, almost all the pirates fell asleep, almost a day and a night, and the pirates were also people, and now they are all tired after they are busy.
Jiang Dazui didn't know what Du Cheng was going to do next, and now he wanted to go back quickly, it was still too dangerous on land.
