Yang Yi crossed the river and stood on the top of Dashi Mountain, and according to the regulations, he immediately scattered several horses to the surrounding area.

These scouts on all sorts of animals were ordered to investigate the enemy's location, and they were ordered to go in disguise, hiding their identity as a troop of green shirts, and looking like wandering bandits.

This kind of person, now the government has no energy to care, Jiangshan Army is too lazy to care, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke anyone, no one cares about how he likes to wander.

The group that walked south, under the hat of the leader was the bearded face of Xie Yousan (Xie San'er's name for himself), and on the donkey that followed him sat a wilted and drooping Lai Wufa.

"Hey, it's been a long time since you came out, why are you still so reluctant?" Xie Yousan said dissatisfiedly: "Look at us, the dignified general banner of calming down, isn't it also this virtue. Did I say anything?

As he spoke, he looked back at the two smiling companions behind him, and the two quickly shook their heads, "No, that's it!"

"You two know how to make sycophants!" Lai Wufa spat dissatisfiedly: "Look at this tattered clothes, this smell, it's uncomfortable to death! Go ahead and find a pond and I'll wash it first!"

"Eh, how's that going to happen?" Xie Yousan shook his head like a rattle: "It's tasteless when you wash it, but it doesn't look like a bandit, right?"

"Hmph, that's nice! I came out with it, and it turned out to be this ghostly look, disgusting to death!" Lai Wufa pouted.

Xie Yousan smacked his lips and spread his hands helplessly: "I brought you out just to ask you to change this problem of washing uniforms all day long!" How did you get this problem after living in a field ambulance station for a few days?"

"The doctor said that the clothes and socks we usually wear will be stained with soil, and there are microscopic insects in the soil, and the flesh will rot when it bites when it sees the wound, and it must be amputated! You know, when you turn around, your hand falls off, your leg is gone, and you regret it then!"

"Bah, bah, bah, you just lost your hand and broke your leg, the more you talk about it, the more unlucky you become!" Xie Yousan couldn't say it when he saw it, so he had to let this kid go, out of sight and out of mind.

He didn't know that Lai Wufa was the one he didn't want to be upset the most, but unfortunately he couldn't do it anyway because he wore this clothes called Hanako.

chirping all the way, suddenly Lai Wufa's donkey ran to the front, Xie Yousan was inexplicable: "This kid is crazy? Or is the donkey frightened?"

He turned back to his companions and said, "Go and see what is going on." After saying that, the three of them urged the cattle to catch up.

Xie Yousan saw that the donkey was gnawing grass leaves in front, so he got off the mule and walked over to take a look, and it turned out that there was a pond in front. Lai Wu's hair was stripped naked and he was scrubbing it inside, and when he saw him coming, he greeted: "Come on, Mr. Xie is also washing, it's very refreshing!"

"You kid, you can't bear it like that?" He pouted.

The other laughed and joked, "Lai Tou'er, if you continue to rub like this, there will be white meat left on your body, pour it into the soup pot!"

The last one to follow laughed and shouted, "Lai Tou'er, we didn't go to Fuzhou City, you made a mistake!"

"What does this have to do with Fuzhou City?" Lai Wufa was inexplicable.

Xie Yousan sneered: "The official wives in Fuzhou City like little white faces the most, but I'm afraid it's too late for you to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics now." The three of them laughed, and Lai Wufa was so angry that he shook his head in the water with his hand.

Suddenly, one of the riders whispered, "There is a situation!" As he spoke, he took off his crossbow and fastened it.

"Don't panic, cover the crossbow, don't hurt people until you have to!" Xie Yousan also noticed it, reached out to prepare his crossbow, kept a smile on his face, and glanced around.

Xie Yousan's cavalry carried a kind of repeating crossbow designed and improved by Li Dan. Bottom-mounted arrow box, with eight small arrows of three inches and four minutes long four-edged bronze clusters, spring support for arrows.

After the arrow enters the slot, move the lookout to the firing position with both hands to complete the winding, pull up the lookout mountain to aim, which is also equivalent to opening the insurance, pull the trigger and automatically open the arrow slot for loading, and so on.

The entire length of the crossbow is only one foot and two inches, and it can be used to shoot with one hand or lift and aim with both hands. The whole crossbow was made of stainless steel, and even the bowstring was made of steel wire.

The total weight is three catties and six taels, and only twelve handfuls have been made in total

The department gave priority to the scout team of Yang Yi's battalion.

After Xie Yousan returned from Santang, he was sent to be the leader of this scout team, and this was the first time that the new crossbow was brought out for actual combat.

In the test, this crossbow can penetrate the armor within 100 steps, and all eight arrows can be produced in ten breaths, and the spare arrow magazine can be quickly replaced through the card slot.

Suppressing the urge to try a new crossbow, he looked at the swaying grass fifty paces ahead.

"Huh", a man in Tsing Yi jumped out of the grass, holding a square shield to protect the front, followed by the second, third, and fourth people...... and there were more and more people.

Xie Yousan and the others were stunned, this scene ...... It's familiar.

"Xie Ye, what's going on? Are we going in the wrong direction?" One of the horsemen was surprised and asked, "Could it be that you have come full circle and come back?"

"Nonsense!" Xie Yousan raised his head: "I looked at the sun, and I went south, yes!"

"But what is this? Golden Flower Array? Why is there a Golden Flower Array here?" The other pointed at the men at a loss and asked, "You're still wearing green clothes, and you look like you!"

"You're pretending!" Someone shouted behind the two golden flower arrays, and then a man in green clothes with a single knife came out of the grass, and a long sign was impressively sealed on his left arm.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? They're all armed and ridden, I think you're suspicious? Is it a spy of the Jiangshan Army, or a man who robs the road?"

He asked several questions in a row, so that no one knew which one to answer first.

"Who are you? This green dress is quite similar, but no matter how you look at it, it's still a robbery!" Lai Wufa also sensed that something was wrong at this time, and was walking up from the water and asked loudly.

"Yo, there's another one in the water, your accomplices? Quite knowledgeable! When you see someone in green clothes, you still don't get off the horse and talk?"

This person crossed his waist and said in a rough voice that Xie Yousan couldn't cry or laugh, saying that he was a green shirt team, it was like everywhere, except for this gangster.

"This good man, we are from the north, we are not familiar with this area, and we have somehow offended the precious land, please forgive me.

People in the rivers and lakes are a righteous anger, for the sake of everyone's non-holiday, please give me some advice, brother, I thank you here." After Xie Yousan finished speaking, he sang a fat song on the mule.

"Well, you're a good guy and can talk." The man nodded, and was about to speak, when the grass on the other side of the road was filled with the sound of a rope, and two golden flower arrays also came out, and the four formations formed a posture of encircling them.

"I said, Aji, why are you in a hurry? You can't wait for me to blow the whistle and come out together, you have to take the credit, right?" The leader of the team over there was angry: "Fortunately, he is honest, if he is a cunning thief, can you keep it with the two of you?"

"Big brother, you are the platoon commander, how dare I compete with you? These few were very clever and on the horse, and he found us from afar.

If I don't show up quickly, I'm afraid that they will turn around and run away, and won't I lose these good animals?" The chief Aji grinned and distinguished for himself.

"Shut up, we don't know what you're thinking? I want to make meritorious contributions every day, I think you are fascinated by that little widow, and say, 'When you are a centurion, I will marry you and make your kid dizzy, jumping all day long to run out!'"

The whistle was long and short, causing his subordinates to laugh.

Aji's red face turned even redder, and he jumped to his feet and shouted, "What is this, this? Big brother, you don't choose the place you say, are there any outsiders here? You are the platoon commander, and according to military law, you should protect your own people!"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Xie Yousan got off the mule and walked between the two to stop them:

"What are you doing to treat our brother as nothing? According to the military law, and according to the military law, you passed the buck and blamed each other during the course of your mission, and the two commanders should each be beaten with 15 military sticks. Come, lie here, I'll beat you one by one!"

"Oh," the sentry chief was stunned, "Hey, which one are you?" How do you know the military law of the Tsing Shirts?"

After speaking, he suddenly seemed to have found something, looked up and down, and his tone suddenly became soft: "Trouble, can you take off your hat and let the lowly official see his true face?"

"Why not?" Xie Yousan took off his hat.

The sentry commander took a closer look, stood up with a "snap", and said loudly: "Report to Xie Zhenfu, the lowly Xiang Buffalo is leading this platoon to carry out daily patrol tasks, please instruct!"

"Huh?" That Aji was stupid all of a sudden, how did he do it, catch it around, catch it and get a calm man?

"To the buffalo? Oh, I remembered you, you were Wei Zhou'er's subordinate, right?" Xie Yousan was shocked after asking this sentence: "What about Wei Zhou'er, is he nearby?"

Xiang Buffalo grinned and cried "wow", Xie Yousan was stunned. Ah Ji next to him whispered, "Chief, Wei Zhou'er is gone."

"What? When did it happen and how? Also, how did you get here?" Xie Yousan looked around, and those members of the green shirts all hung their heads, and some people squatted down and cried.

His head was "buzzing", and he knew that something was wrong, something must have happened!

At this time, Lai Wufa had already put on his clothes, walked over and showed his waist card to Aji, and said softly: "It's not appropriate for everyone to talk on the road like this, Ajishi, is there a convenient and hidden place nearby to sit down and talk?"

"Yes, yes." Na Aji hurriedly regrouped and led them to a bamboo forest more than two hundred steps away to rest. Arrange a guard and walk back, and see the buffalo telling them about their recent experiences.

It turned out that everything was because of the Yintuo who was defeated but fled! This guy was very clever to hide in the mountains to avoid the arrest of the official army, and then led the gathered 300 people to quietly cross the river into the mountains bordering Fujian.

Here he received a secret help from Lou Shiming, and returned some of his original subordinates to Yintuo, and then the number of this team soon reached 1,000 people.

Just when the battle on Yu Gan's side was in full swing, Yintuo led his troops to attack Geyang City with a joint attack on the outside and outside, and the thousands of households who had just arrived mishandled it, and were killed by Yintuo himself when he broke through.

On that day, because the replacement of the people in Raozhou had arrived, Sun She had already ordered the team to pack their luggage and prepare to return to all parts of Raozhou by way of Wannian in the early morning of the next day.

That night, when they heard the chaos in the city, the people outside the city were very alarmed, but it didn't take long for the sound to stop, and everyone thought it was just a small mess and went back to sleep, but they didn't expect that when the day was about to dawn, Yintuo suddenly came and began to slaughter.

"Wait, you say it's a massacre? Didn't you say that Yintuo never killed people indiscriminately?" Xie Yousan asked.

"Hmph, we don't know if that guy ever had a good heart, but it's true that the camp was bloodied that day!"

Aji said hatefully, and by this time he had figured out the identities of these people, and came over and sat down on the turf below and said:

"Chief Xie, you should know that we have less than 2,000 people in the reserve team, and the reserves are all bamboo guns. Where are those people who are their opponents with their bare hands?"

Xie Yousan and Lai Wufa are both old people, so they can naturally imagine what the situation was like at that time. Xie Yousan gritted his teeth and asked, "What happened later?"

The Tsing Shirt team was unable to stand in the chaos and used the Golden Flower Formation to fight on their own. Later, Xiao Wanhe ordered a breakthrough, Su deviated to be the forward in front, and Wei Zhou'er broke behind.

Killed from outside the west gate to the north gate, and encountered an ambush here, Su was caught off guard and died, Lin Ziyang went up, and he was also killed. In the end, Gao Hanzi went up and killed the enemy general who blocked the way, and everyone rushed out. Look at the book

Later, with the help of Xiaozhai reinforcements, he gained a firm foothold, and found that Wei Zhou'er did not come back. When he was about to set off the next morning, Wei Zhou'er's personal soldiers came back, and everyone learned that he refused to leave after being injured until he died in battle.

Xiao Wanhe felt that the Lion Rock Village still couldn't stay, and decided to continue to retreat, so the whole army moved to Tanjiadu as soon as dawn and prepared to cross the Wanxi River from here.

I wanted to go east to Xing'an or join the Shengda, who wanted to just cross two hundred people, and met a messenger from Xing'an to report the emergency, and it turned out that Yintuo sent a force to attack Xing'an County.

If this road didn't work, Sun She discussed it with Xiao Wanhe, and both of them agreed to turn around and go west, but the goal was not quite the same.

Knowing that the Jiangshan army was having a good time, Xiao Wanhe had no intention of fighting and just wanted to return to Fuzhou quickly, and finally they agreed to divide their troops under the incense burner peak and voluntarily went to Fuzhou to follow Xiao Wanhe to the west.

The others followed Sun She to Guixi, on the one hand, to assist Gui

Xi fought against Yintuo, on the one hand, looking for a way to return to Yugan.

But Sun She didn't expect that they hadn't arrived in Guixi yet, and Guixi had been frightened by Geyang's bloodbath, so he tied up his own county order and opened the door to surrender!

Sun She, who learned the news, had no choice but to make an emergency U-turn in Liukou Town under the Turtle Ridge and cross the Xixi River to the west again to Yingtanfang.

At this point, they didn't dare to go any further, because they knew that Anren was occupied by the Jiangshan army, and the water and land routes were no longer passable, so they had to decide to find out the situation first and then decide on the next move.

"So, how many of you are left?" In the Ganquan Temple of Yingtanfang, Xie Yousan immediately asked anxiously when he saw Sun She and the others, "Are there any other leaders who have lost?"

"Right Hook (Luo Right) and Ah Mao (Xin Chi) are both injured and are still being raised. The others were somewhat slightly injured, but they didn't get in the way." Sun She sighed: "The casualties are very serious, it is because I didn't lead the team well, and I want to ask Li Sanlang for my guilt when I go back!"

"This one is secondary!" Xie Yousan waved his hand: "Let's briefly communicate the situation first." After speaking, he will give a general introduction to the situation of Huxi anyway, Yugan's great victory, and the recovery of Anren.

Everyone immediately jumped up and said happily, "I didn't expect Li Sanlang to have this result in a short period of time, it seems that the green shirt team has grown again!"

Next, Sun She told Xie Yousan that he withdrew from Geyang and fought while walking, and went to Lion Rock to gather a total of 2,200 troops and people. Later, I sent someone to quietly go back to see that there were corpses along the river outside the west gate and north gate.

The heads were cut off and piled up outside Guixi City to make a Jingguan, only Lin Ziyang's body was covered because he fell in the reeds, and the whole body was accidentally preserved.

It is said that later, the squires in the city of Geyang came forward to ask for the collection of corpses to avoid the epidemic of plague, and as a result, a large pit was buried in the west of the city, 300 steps from east to west, 60 steps from north to south, and a total of more than 4,700 corpses were buried inside and outside the city. No wonder it was a "massacre"!

When the remnants of the army walked to the foot of the incense burner peak, there were still more than 1,700 people left, Xiao Wanhe took more than 400 people, and the remaining 1,200 people followed to Yingtan.

In the past few days, a small number of local children from Yujiang and Yingtan have joined the army one after another, with a total number of 1,342 people, including 97 wounded.

"Alas, thanks to the first aid set up by the adults, otherwise I don't know how many people would have lost their lives along the way!" Song Jiuyi said with emotion.

"Yes, a lot of the wounded have been left behind, and we have a roster, a total of 226 in the villager's home." Lin Shuntang is in charge of logistics, so he is very clear about the numbers:

"We've written down in detail whose house and village we're fostering in, and we'll find it back when we counterattack in the future!"

Xie Yousan was surprised, he looked up at everyone: "Well said, we will always have a counterattack day!" Isn't this already in Anren, don't you worry, we will collect the debts we owe, and there will be a day when the love will be repaid!"

"Xie Zongqi, since we are all in touch, should we go back with you?" Gao Hanzi asked, "There are thousands of people stationed in this place, and they can't afford to support them.

Fortunately, we had a large flag given by the general as a token, and promised the local squires to protect them, and it took us five hundred taels of money to agree that we should be stationed around this monastery and sell us some grain to survive until now.

Thanks to the fact that Yintuo attacked after we had made preparations for evacuation, some of our belongings and food were brought out. If he had started a day earlier, he would have been afraid that this team would have collapsed halfway through, and would not have been able to support it today."

"Yes, we are in a hurry to run out of food in three days, so we send teams out everywhere, one to buy food, and the other to inquire about the military situation." Sun She said:

"What matters now: food, the wounded, doctors and weapons. There are more than 300 people who have only bamboo spears in their hands, and there is a shortage of bows and arrows; There are still dozens of sick people, and the hygienist can't solve them, so they all rely on Mr. Du, who came with Mr. Lou, to take care of ......."

"Wait, what's going on with Mr. Lou?"

"Mr. Lou Liang, the master sent someone to invite him had an accident as soon as he arrived in the camp, and we escorted him all the way here. Oh, and there is an extreme shortage of vehicles and livestock.

Originally, they brought some livestock, but they ate a lot on the road, but there were only about 40 heads left, and there were only about 20 vehicles. Some in exchange for food and medicine

Sold and mortgaged ...... on the way." He said a general idea one after another, so that Xie Yousan knew the situation here.

"I think so, now that you know the situation here, the leaders will send a representative, let's find a boat, take the boat down the river and go back to Anren to report to the adults, how about it?" Xie Yousan proposed.

"Okay, it's faster!" After discussing it, several people decided to send Song Jiuyi to return with Xie Yousan. Xie Yousan called Lai Wufa and asked him and his two companions to ride on a mule and hurry back by land to report.

Sun She took Lin Shuntang to Shangjingli on the edge of East Lake, found the squire Yang Tingwang, informed Anren County of the news that it had been recovered, and borrowed a boat.

When the squire heard that the official army had arrived in Anren County, his long-standing worries suddenly became invisible, and he immediately accepted the matter of borrowing a boat.

He made a request, saying that there was a clan brother who was very good at martial arts and had always had the ambition to serve the country, and was willing to follow him to Anren to participate in the group training, and asked them to take it with the ship. As soon as Sun She heard that it was a good thing, he immediately agreed.

In this way, Xie Yousan, Song Jiuyi, and the son of the Yang family named Yang Shijie, who was protected by the Xiang Sentinel and the Adinash people, took a boat out of the East Lake, and then went down the river.

When they approached Shigang, a steamer of the navy approached to inspect it, and seeing that it was their own people who were very enthusiastic, they immediately sent a captain to board the ship and guide them to the Ximen Wharf in Anren County to go ashore. This is what Feng Shen Pegasus reported earlier.
