Chapter 44: The First Battle Suffers

Chai Sheng's men and horses quickly chased after him.

Feng Qingluan and Shao Donglai commanded the sergeants to quickly retreat to the mountain, and Kou Jingyu also came to respond.

The Chuxia National Salvation Army, which had just been formed, did not know how to fight at all.

There is no discipline, let alone unity of command.

The pursuer's long knife glistened coldly.

Soon, Chai Sheng's men and horses began to attack.

The charcoal burners panicked.

Chai Sheng ordered, and ten thousand arrows were fired. In an instant, the sergeants of the Chuxia National Salvation Army were shot by random arrows.

Kou Jingyu was angry and wanted to go down the mountain desperately.

"Let's hurry up and go deep into the mountains, we can't go head-to-head with them!" Feng Qingluan shouted loudly.

Shao Dong came to dissuade Kou Jingyu and let him calm down.

The Broken Daoist Temple can no longer be maintained.

"Let's continue to retreat deep into the mountains!" Kou Jingyu shouted, "We hid in the mountains and forests, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack them. ”

Feng Qingluan was heartbroken, he felt that Chu Xia's National Salvation Army had suffered such a big loss, it should be caused by his own lack of planning.

Chai Sheng's sergeant shouted loudly, but fortunately the charcoal burners were familiar with the terrain, and in addition to some who were killed, others ran deep into the mountains.

When the pursuers withdrew, Shao Donglai hurriedly gathered people, and there were still 1,000 people left in the first detachment of the Chuxia National Salvation Army, which numbered several thousand.

Looking at these remnants of the defeated army, although Feng Qingluan was uncomfortable, her heart was even more determined.

"Brethren, the officers and soldiers have withdrawn. Although we were defeated, but we were still glorious, this is the first vicious battle since the establishment of the first detachment of the Chuxia National Salvation Army, we have not been trained, and we have little experience in dealing with the enemy, so we have suffered a big loss, these are the responsibilities of my Feng Qingluan. ”

Feng Qingluan's attitude was sincere.

"Although we are defeated, we still have more than 1,000 people, and there are only 300 villagers in Liu Shantang, and when Chai Sheng's army retreats, we will go down the mountain to find Liu Shantang's bad luck!" Shao Donglai continued.

"Alright, everyone take a break!" Kou Jingyu commanded.

"Brother Feng, Brother Shao, this place is close to the lair of the bandit Cao Xu, I'm afraid that they will take advantage of the fire to rob!" Kou Jingyu whispered.

"Do you know how many men Cao Xu has?" Feng Qingluan asked.

"I heard that there are three or four hundred people, but it is not easy to nest in this deep mountain and old forest!" Kou Jingyu was a little worried.

"Since we have arrived here, we have to take over Cao Xu's people's ideas, they have been operating here for many years, I think we just use this as a base to fight with the officials and soldiers!"

Hearing Feng Qingluan's thoughts, Kou Jingyu said: "Brother Feng, what you said is right, they have three or four hundred people, and we have more than a thousand, they are very different in strength from us, it should be okay to eat them!" ”

Feng Qingluan shook his head and said: "The mountains here are high and the forests are dense, Cao Xu has been operating here for many years, they occupy the advantage of the terrain, if we attack strongly, we are afraid that it will be unfavorable to us!" ”

"Brother Feng, do you have a good solution?"

"I have a solution!" Feng Qingluan said: "Let's take out the silver money we brought and give it to Cao Xu as a meeting gift, let us settle down in this green mountain, everything is in the long run!" ”

"Brother Feng, what you said makes sense!"

Kou Jingyu immediately summoned everyone and asked them to take out all the money they brought, and everyone was not to be left behind and handed over the money they brought out.

Looking at a large pile of white flowers of silver on the ground, Feng Qingluan said: "Cao Xu will definitely be tempted after seeing so much silver!" ”

Kou Jingyu said with a smile: "These bandits are poor and crazy in the mountains, so they naturally like money!" ”

Feng Qingluan hurriedly said, "Kou Jingyu, you have to be careful, beware of them hearing it!" ”

"They hear best, so we don't have to hide!"

Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky. All of a sudden, the wind was blowing, and the torrential rain came in a hurry.

The sergeants did not have time to take shelter from the rain, so they had to let the rain pour through.

When the wind and rain stopped, the sergeants shivered.

"Even if Cao Xu doesn't come to us, we have to find him!" Feng Qingluan said that he wanted to find a place for the sergeants to hide from the wind and rain.

"Brother Feng, then let's go and find Cao Xu!" Kou Jingyu said.

The sergeants were cold and hungry.

"Don't be discouraged, we will definitely find something to eat and a place to stay!" Shao Donglai cheered up the sergeants.

"Wait a minute, we're not looking for Cao Xu, I think we should go back." Feng Qingluan suddenly said this.

"Where are you going back?" Shao Donglai asked puzzled.

"The things we confiscated from the landlord Lao Cai are all in the Broken Daoist Temple, such a heavy rain, in a short period of time, Chai Sheng can't take these things, there will definitely be their people in the Broken Taoist Temple, after we go back, quietly sneak attack, I see that we have these silver coins now, I'm afraid that Cao Xu won't look down on them!"

Shao Donglai and Kou Zhenyu felt that Feng Qingluan's words made sense, and Chai Sheng's people would never think that they would kill a horse gun.

They hurriedly organized the sergeants, and after suffering such a big loss, everyone naturally doubted Feng Qingluan's leadership ability.

"We were caught off guard by Chai Sheng, but we also had to catch him off guard!" Shao Dong came to do the general mobilization in front of the station.

The rest of the sergeants were young men of good blood. Someone said loudly: "Whatever Chu Xia Salvation will want us to do, we will do it, without ambiguity!" ”

"Now, Chai Sheng's men and horses think that they will win the battle, and they will definitely be paralyzed, so we just want to kill back and avenge the dead soldiers!" Feng Qingluan said loudly.

"Revenge, revenge!" For a moment, the crowd was excited.

"Okay, let's go!" Shao Donglai gave the order.

Kou Jingyu walked in front with the people and horses, after all, he was familiar with the roads here, and soon, everyone arrived at the Broken Dao Temple.

Sure enough, there were still many people in the Broken Dao Temple.

Feng Qingluan was just about to give the order to attack the Broken Dao Temple, when someone whispered: "Wei Ziwen Wei girl has found us!" ”

As she spoke, Wei Ziwen walked over. When he saw Feng Qingluan, he whispered, "Brother Feng, I know you will definitely come back, and I will wait for you here!" ”

"How did you know we were back?"

"There are so many things here, all of which we have worked hard to get, how can we give up easily, besides, here are Chai Sheng's people and horses, take advantage of their inattention, bite him hard!"

Wei Ziwen's words impressed Feng Qingluan, indeed, Wei Ziwen's thoughts coincided with him.

"Miss Wei, do you know how many people are in this Broken Daoist Temple?"

"I can see this clearly from a distance, and there are only three or four hundred people in the Broken Dao Temple at most!" Wei Ziwen replied.

"Everyone is angry, we must not be merciful, go up together, and take down these people!" Fen Feng Qingluan gave the order.

The officers and soldiers in the Podao Temple never imagined that the charcoal-burning union would kill the carbines. Feng Qingluan had already concentrated all his strength to attack the Dao Breaking Temple.

The officers and soldiers inside have not yet woken up, and the Chuxia National Salvation Army has already attacked, although the weapons of the Chuxia National Salvation Army are uneven, but they are numerous, and several people fight one, so they naturally have the upper hand.

The battle soon ended, and the officers and troops who remained in the Temple of Broken Dao were completely annihilated. Feng Qingluan instructed the sergeants to take everything they could.

The Chuxia National Salvation Army quickly withdrew from the Broken Daoist Temple.

Shao Donglai ordered to go down, everyone first eat some food to slow down the hunger, and continue to march, lest Chai Sheng's officers and troops chase after them.

Feng Qingluan suddenly had a plan.

He came to Shao Dong, and Kou Zhenyu said, "You let the sergeants throw some things along the way!" ”

The two were puzzled, and Shao Donglai said suspiciously: "Wouldn't this expose our whereabouts!" ”

"Yes, I just want the officers and soldiers to know our whereabouts, the officers and soldiers have suffered our big losses, isn't Chai Sheng going to be like thunder, they know that our combat effectiveness is not strong, they will definitely send people to pursue, we will find a favorable terrain, set up an ambush, and let Chai Sheng know that we are powerful!"

"Brother Feng, your idea is indeed good, let's set up an ambush, so that Cao Xu knows that we are not easy to mess with!" Kou Jingyu said.

"Actually, I have long been optimistic about the ambush site, we charcoal burners are not trained, and we are afraid of killing people, so we lured these officers and soldiers over, this place is lush with trees, suitable for fire attack!"

Shao Donglai and Kou Jingyu saw that he thought so thoughtfully, and they admired him very much.

Sure enough, Chai Sheng knew that his men and horses had been attacked in the Podao Temple, and he was furious.

Liu Shantang took a step forward and said, "General, they can't run far, it's too late for us to catch up!" ”

Chai Sheng said angrily: "The people I left in the Broken Dao Temple are all old and weak soldiers, I can't imagine that they have taken advantage of the loophole, I really can't swallow this evil breath!"

Immediately ordered the men and horses and continued the pursuit. Chai Sheng ordered that as long as he encountered a charcoal burner, he would be killed.

After his men and horses entered Cangqing Mountain, some people discovered the whereabouts of the Chuxia National Salvation Army, because they found something discarded by the Chuxia National Salvation Army.

"General, I'm afraid there is fraud in it!" Liu Shantang felt strange and persuaded.

"What's so strange about this, it's not like you haven't seen how many of these charcoal burners have been killed by me, and how much of a storm can be set off by the remaining remnants of the defeated soldiers!"

Liu Shantang listened to what Chai Sheng said made sense, so he no longer refuted.

Chai Sheng's men and horses were strong and strong, and he was well fed and drunk, and soon discovered the Chuxia National Salvation Army.

But he didn't know that these people were the bait that Kou Jingyu carried, in order to lead them into an ambush circle.

Feng Qingluan's chosen ambush site was a valley. He saw that there were many stones on the hills on either side, and that the valley was full of trees, and all the pine trees that were prone to fire.

Soon, officers and soldiers were led into an ambush circle.

Kou Jingyu had already led his men and horses to hide in the mountains and forests.

Feng Qingluan gave an order, and the sergeants threw stones into the valley.

He knew that these sergeants were not good at fighting, so he used this method to keep them away from the enemy.

In fact, throwing stones is to attract the attention of officials and soldiers. The most important thing is that Kou Jingyu and Shao Donglai each led a part of the people to set fire to the pine trees.

The flames are blazing!

Feng Qingluan quickly evacuated with his men and horses, his goal had been achieved, and he knew that they were not capable of annihilating these officers and soldiers for the time being.

Only teach them some lessons......
