After taking a turn in the temporary camp of the officers and soldiers of the Fujian Navy Division, Yu Zhong was greatly disappointed. What he saw was an army that had lost its courage. Perhaps, after more than ten or twenty years of upgrading, this once powerful army can no longer withstand some blows.

However, since he came to the place with his troops, he naturally couldn't always stay on the seaside and watch the scenery. Because Nian Qianyao was sent to lead troops to land from the direction of Huwei, Yu Zhong ordered Yue Zhongqi and Murcha to lead the fleet of sailors, one team was responsible for taking care of him and Nian Qianyao nearby, and the other team was bound for Tainan to provide support for Lan Li and Chen Python at any time. He himself led his troops towards the area of Lion Ball Ridge as soon as the troops came ashore.

Yue Zhongqi and the others were naturally extremely reluctant to do this, but the military order was like a mountain. Moreover, in addition to Yu Zhong and Nian Qianyao, it is true that only the two of them can command and suppress the sea cucumber, so in desperation, the two of them can only accept their fate. It's just that the two of them were a little reluctant when they left, and their eyes were still red.

"My lord, why did you buy a few dogs?" On the way to the march, Yinchu asked towards Yuzhong.

"Taiwan has many mountains, forests and grasses, bring a few dogs, one can be on guard and watch the camp, and the other can be traced and chased after the enemy! …… It's a pity to say that the mastiffs raised by my sea cudivostok family didn't come along the way, otherwise, they would definitely be more in charge than these earth dogs. Yu Zhong replied.

No matter how ruthless Nian Qianyao is, he will definitely not be able to command Yinchu, so in order to prevent some well-intentioned people from saying that he deliberately plotted against his subordinates, Yu Zhong had to bring this tricky figure with him. However, his heart and eyes are not very big, and under the pretext of insufficient troops, he transferred the 1,000 Shenji Battalion to Nian Qianyao's side, which not only allowed Nian Qianyao to bring some thorns, but also made Yinchu the commander of the light pole. However, Yinchu didn't know for what reason, and he didn't have any arguments with him about this matter, and he obeyed him as before. Needless to say, Nian Qianyao is honest.

"Oh? The idea of Lord Totong is really different. However, Yinchu was only afraid that as soon as there was some wind and grass, these earth dogs would bark non-stop, and at that time, the soldiers would be busy. Yin Zhen smiled.

"Hehe, the eldest brother is worried. However, it is unlikely that we will use these dogs to guard the camp this time, and I bought them more because they can be used to track the enemy's tracks! Yu Zhong also smiled.

"Lord Totong seems to be very confident that he can beat Lion Ball Ridge?" The corners of Yinchu's mouth curled, and he said strangely.

"Confidence? Hehe, of course...... It's just a lion ball ridge! Yu Zhong smiled as he sold.

"Oh? Lord Dutong, although Yang Yuan is not a general, he is not fortunate to be promoted to his current position. He suffered losses at the foot of the Lion Ball Ridge, resulting in the loss of his soldiers, how can you not repeat his mistakes? "It's even weirder. Yu Zhong has not fought a few real battles, which is very clear. After all, when Yu Zhong made his first meritorious service, he was also following Feiyanggu to kill the enemy on the front line.

"Big brother, don't think too highly of me! …… Didn't Lan Li, that old man, say? Let me hold here, as long as I don't let that Qin Baoqi escape, and he still made it clear that I was not allowed to take the initiative to attack! So, I'll stand in front of the Lion Ball Ridge, and wait for him to hit Taipei from Tainan and slam Qin Baoqi's eyes in the back before making a move. Hehe, at that time, not to mention Lion Ball Ridge, it was Lion Ridge (from "Journey to the West") that stood in the way, and we could easily pass it! Yu Zhong said with a smile.

"......" Yinchu was dumbfounded, and then, laughing!

……

Lion Ball Ridge!

Qin Baoqi took the thin man to a high place again to take a look down. They have just received a report that the Qing army reinforcements have arrived, and the number is enough to 2,000. The troops were divided into two routes, all the way to attack Huwei, all the way to land in Keelung, and after meeting with the defeated army of the previous Fujian Naval Division, they took a short rest and recuperated, and they had already driven to Shiqiu Ridge again.

"Fortunately, Lord Xiang, you sent troops to defend Huwei, otherwise, those Qing soldiers would have killed our flank from there, and we would have no danger to rely on, and there would be nowhere to defend. ......" the thin man said to Qin Baoqi without flattery.

"It's nothing. Actually, Lao He, if you also read more military books, you won't know less than me! Qin Baoqi smiled.

"Master incense, don't laugh. How many people in our Heaven and Earth Association are willing to read? Besides, only a smart person like you, the incense master, can read something, and others, hehe, seeing that the book can last for a moment without sleeping, it is already outstanding! "Lao He" said with a smile.

"Lao He, what you said is really to the point. …… It's because I don't study, I just want to be brave in everything, so even if our Heaven and Earth Association gathers so many hot-blooded men, we can only mix up some fame in the rivers and lakes, and if we really want to come out to fight for the country, I'm afraid it's not as good as the white lotus, red yang, white yang and other cults! Qin Baoqi sighed.

"Lord incense, what do you say he is doing with all these troubles? Didn't we do something big this time? As long as the uprisings in Sichuan and Huguang are successful this time, I am afraid that it will not be enough for the Qing court to drink a pot with the Kangxi Dog Emperor? "Lao He" said.

"It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. Although the plan is careful this time, whether it can succeed or not depends on the fortune of the heavens! Qin Baoqi looked up at the sky and said gloomily.

"Lord incense, why do you do this? Our heaven and earth will 'oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty', which is in line with the will of heaven and the people's ......" "Lao He" just wanted to say more, but was stopped by Qin Baoqi with a wry smile and waved his hand, "Don't tell me this." Who are you? Do you believe that these things can't be done? ”

"Hehe, Lord Xiang, don't laugh at me. Talking about fun! "Lao He" scratched his scalp and laughed.

……

"Look, they're coming!" After chatting for a while, Qin Baoqi and the two finally waited for the arrival of Yu Zhong's army, fortunately, the Lion Ball Ridge was high enough, otherwise, I am afraid that I would not be able to see the teams that had just shown a little bit of vanguard. Although the front of Shiqiu Ridge is flat, in order to avoid the bombardment of the red-coated artillery, the camp of the Fujian Navy Division is ten miles away from here!

"Hey, hey, it's just right! Master of incense, we are all ready, just wait for these Qing soldiers to set up camp, and then start setting off 'fireworks'! "Lao He" rubbed his hands and looked excited.

"Yes, but I'll have to take a good look at who is here! It's good to leave a 'thought' in the future. Qin Baoqi smiled, took out a small clairvoyant mirror from his cuff, and looked at it from a distance...... He saw: a team of about 5,000 men and horses, no one on horseback. I could only roughly see a few people in official robes in the ranks, and because they were too far away, these people were hiding among the hundreds of soldiers in the front, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.

"Lord Incense, how's it going?" "Lao He" asked.

"Not very good. It's just that our new opponents don't seem to be too bold! Qin Baoqi responded with a smile. …… His guess was not wrong at all. It is precisely because Yu Zhong is afraid of death that he does not ride a horse, and the other does not rush forward, in case the enemy has an ambush and a "grenade" smashes over, if he stands in too obvious a position, then wouldn't he have to finish everything?

"Huh? What is that? ......" Qin Baoqi was trying to adjust the clairvoyant mirror in his hand so that he could see a little bit what the leading Qing army general looked like. However, a few things that suddenly came from the other side of the Qing army attracted his attention, and after a closer look, he knew: it was a dog!

"What do you do with a dog?"

Without anyone answering, the Qing army stepped into the previous camp. Then, the dogs rushed to the front of the group and pounced on the center of the camp......

"Not good!" Qin Baoqi exclaimed, and the clairvoyant mirror almost fell to the ground. On his side, the thin man didn't know why.

……

"Grab the cannon, blast it for me!"

Seeing that the dogs he bought suddenly ran to the center of the camp and barked wildly, Yu Zhong immediately stopped the pace of the team's advance, and ordered the front team that had entered the camp to withdraw quickly, and then ordered the shelling!

……

"Boom!"

A cannon rang out, and dirt and rocks were scattered everywhere.

Qin Baoqi's heart also twitched violently with the sound of the cannon, and there was a lot of gloom in his heart, which was still a little excited.

"Not cowardly...... However, is the leader of the Qing army cautious or experienced this time? ”

……

"My lord, in the center of the camp, a big pit has been blown out within fifteen zhang of Fang Yuan, and there are six deep small pits inside the big pit, which are distributed with plum blossoms, and there are a lot of iron thistles and iron sand particles outside the pit, I suspect that the rebels are very likely to have buried six parts of the fire yao in the ground, and bread these things outside the fire yao, just waiting for us to detonate as soon as we arrive! In order to kill in a wide area. "The soldiers who had been sent to inspect the situation came back to report to Yu Zhong.

"Lord Dutong, this traitor's trick is ruthless enough. In the middle of the camp, hum, if our army sets up camp, it will be your Chinese army tent! Yin Zhen said with a gloomy face.

"Not bad...... Terrible! This greeting gift is a must-have! …… Come on, bring me all the cannons, and plow this camp well with cannon fire! Yu Zhong ordered loudly.

"Lord Toto!" Yin Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then asked puzzledly: "That's not how cannonballs are used, right?" Let the soldiers take a closer look! Why waste so much? ”

"Big brother, what if the enemy has other ambushes? …… Human life is more valuable than a cannonball! Glancing at Yinchu, Yu Zhong said lightly, and then he continued to mobilize the artillery.

“…… My lord, this place is far from the Lion Ball Ridge in front of it, and even the red-coated cannons can't shoot it, and I think that the rebels are very likely to have ambushed people nearby in order to detonate the fire here. Therefore, we can send troops to investigate all around, and as long as we sweep away those who have been sent to detonate the fire, we can naturally investigate in detail without wasting shells! Not to be outdone, Yinchu said.

“…… Reasonable! Big brother, you can send someone to do this! You and I should think carefully about what kind of gift we should prepare to return to those people on the Lion Ball Ridge. …… Come and don't be rude. My wife has always taught me to be polite and cultivated! Feeling that he had just gone around from outside the ghost gate, Yu Zhong couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.
