Zhuo Butai did not come to Chengxiang County for no reason, but received an order from the capital city of Dolgon, to go north and return to the construction of Sarhak, carry out a north-south attack on Jiangxi, open the passage into the land of Jiangnan Huguang, and completely stabilize the national war situation.

In Dolgon's view, the main enemy in the future is the Xiong Prince Daming Kingdom, which is entrenched in the remote southwest. As for the resistance elements in Guangdong, with the fall of Guangzhou, after the killing of Emperor Shaowu Zhu Yu'ao, it has become a plate of scattered sand, and the more than 100,000 people under the command of Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong should be enough to deal with it.

Zhuo Butai occupied Chengxiang County by the way, the original intention was to take a little rest, and after figuring out the battle situation in Ganzhou, he would go straight into the hinterland of Ganzhou as a surprise army.

From a tactical point of view, Chobtai's idea is very good, and it is insidious enough.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, and the bandits of Lai Qixiao's Wuxing Battalion, Tu Wuzi and Zhong Shengshan suddenly came, which made Zhuo Butai break out in a cold sweat.

Originally thought that the defeat was a victory, a mysterious cavalry suddenly appeared in the north, and actually controlled his temporary horse farm in advance, Zhuo Butai knew that this time the boat completely overturned in the gutter, and it was absolutely impossible to turn the tables.

If there is no war horse, the Manchurian iron cavalry is a lamb to the slaughter, although it can scare the ordinary bandits and unarmed people, but it is powerless in the face of the mysterious cavalry.

Zhuo Butai is also a decisive person, taking advantage of the Huizhou general Huang Yingjie's department to attract the attention of the mysterious cavalry, he led his cronies from the east gate into the dense forest, all the way to crawl and escape.

The 2,000 cavalry under Huang Yingjie, the commander-in-chief of Huizhou, had completely collapsed before they entered the county, and half of them were lost in one shot, and the defense of Chengxiang County became Huang Liang's dream.

These were not clear to Zhou Chang in advance, but the troops that pursued the enemy's rout returned, and they also brought back more than 100 prisoners.

The young boys in the Xiong Chu Praetorian Guard are all ruthless, and after using a few methods, Zhou Chang knows everything.

Now that he knew that the enemy had occupied Guangzhou and made arrangements to open up the connection between Guangdong and Jiangxi, Zhou Chang of course understood that the enemy must still have a backhand, in short, he could not take it lightly: "The enemy will not give up, and this is not our main task, so we cannot stay here for a long time." Zhao Jiaju, camp outside the north of the city tonight to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. "

Zhao Jiaju, eighteen years old this year, is the descendant of the "Pingyang Four Fierces", the new second generation of Fenghuang Village, and the brothers of Zhou Chang and Zhou Xi in the same village. Joined the army according to the order of the patriarch, swore to defend his benefactor Xiong Chu to the death, and is currently the former battalion captain of the Praetorian Guard, and he was the one who led the team to chase and kill the enemy's rout just now.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Chang left the county seat.

After a busy night, order in the city has been orderly. Zhou Chang not only did not collect grain and grass in the city, but also gave all the killed war horses to the victimized people, the relationship between the military and the people was greatly eased, and the banner of the Xiong family army was recognized by the people of the city.

Lai Qixiao did not lose his words, and led people to move all the corpses in the city out of the city for burial, and washed them in the city, without the slightest trace of blood left on the stone road.

understands that Wuxing Camp is indeed sworn to resist the Qing Dynasty, which is essentially different from bandits, and Zhou Chang is not a stingy person.

In addition to the weapons left by the enemy to give them, the original promise of giving fifty war horses has also become one hundred and twenty, which can allow Lai Qixiao to form a sentry cavalry and increase his mobile combat capability.

Planting thorns in the enemy and making fires in the enemy's backyard become the norm is also a very critical step in war, and Zhou Chang knows this truth.

Unfortunately, no firearms were seized this time, and not a single bird gun or artillery was seen.

Each of the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard has a short gun, and it is a single-shot projectile for accurate shooting, not the kind that originally fired iron sand, and the range can reach fifty paces, which is a top-secret product of the Xiong family's military craftsman's battalion.

Because each work is exquisite, the output is limited, and only the Mandeli female barracks in the harem and the Zhou Chang Praetorian Guards are equipped. This is the treasure of the Praetorian Guard, and it is also a killer weapon in close combat, Zhou Changke is reluctant to give it away.

Anyway, Zhou Chang thinks that his trip was not in vain. Although the cordon was drawn a little excessively, it destroyed a conspiracy of the enemy and made friends with an anti-Qing team, and the deal was very cost-effective.

On the way back, Zhao Jiaju was naturally in charge of the army, and Zhou Chang was a little distracted when he thought of the happy place in the marching queue, and he didn't know where he went.

Gaoping Town, a place between Chengxiang County and Pingyuan County, is located in the saddle of Shanliang, which is a very narrow place, and can only be used by two horses at most. Merchants from the south to the north will rest here to accumulate the body for going down the mountain to Pingyuan County.

Zhou Chang was in his trance, and the leader of the personal soldier team interrupted his thoughts: "Major General, there are people blocking the way on the mountain beam." ”

Zhou Chang is god saw that the team had just arrived halfway up the mountain and was at the last moment of going up the mountain. When he heard that someone was blocking the way, he was shocked.

This place is too passive, and if someone ambushes here, they will surely suffer heavy losses, if not all of them.

Seeing the situation he was in, Zhou Chang suddenly became angry: "What did Zhao Jiaju do to eat, why didn't he protect the flanks with the guards, how many enemies came?"

The captain of the pro-soldier squad was not in a hurry: "Of course Captain Zhao knows the common sense of the march, and there are two hundred horsemen in front of him as spearheads marching five miles away." In the dense forest on both sides, the scouts were also scattered, and there were no enemy ambushes here. ”

"Nonsense. Seeing the indifferent appearance of the captain of the pro-soldiers, Zhou Chang became more and more angry: "In this case, why did you report the military situation?"

didn't look at Zhou Chang's face at all, and the captain of the personal army only quibbled: "Major General, I said that someone was blocking the way, but I didn't say that there was an enemy, how did it become a waste of military information?"

Zhou Chang pondered for a while, and found that the captain of the pro-soldier did not say the word enemy, and it was completely his own nervous overreaction.

The captain of the pro-soldier is his brother in life and death, and it is impossible for Zhou Chang to admit his mistake to his face, but instead he hits a rake: "Someone is blocking the way? Who is blocking the way, and how many people are blocking the way? What is the purpose of the other party? You come to talk nonsense without understanding anything, what use do I want you?"

The captain of the pro-soldier was like a resentful woman, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there were a lot of them: "You are a general, you can say anything, and it is difficult to chase the horse, please remember what you said today." Hurry up and send me to the front-line army to lead the troops, as if someone is willing to be a fart for you. By the way, the spearhead sent someone to report, and there was a man and a rider on the mountain beam who indicated that he wanted to see the general, could you please tell me what to do?"

One person and one rider blocking the way, and they want to see me by name? Zhou Chang was a little puzzled in his heart: I came here for the first time, and I didn't know anyone at all, why did I see me?

There is no point in guessing for no reason, so Zhou Chang nodded: "Isn't it just a person?" Let him come over and have a look." It was now close to noon, and the army rested on the spot to let the horses breathe. ”

After a short time, the captain of the pro-soldier took one man and one horse from the mountain beam to the halfway up the mountain.

Zhou Chang looked at it, and it turned out to be a stocky young man who was slightly older than himself, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, slightly shorter than himself, and wrapped in a green cloth turban.

The guy was wearing an off-white coarse cloth short-sleeved shirt with muscular brown arms. There is a copper-buckled cowhide belt tied around his waist, and a treasure bag is hung on his left rib. He wears blue coarse cloth trousers with leggings and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. He carried a large knife behind his back and a brown Mongolian horse in his crotch.

Zhou Chang nodded secretly: This person turned out to be a martial arts person, and his kung fu was very passable.

"I heard that the strong man wants to see me, but he doesn't know what's going on?" Zhou Chang turned over and dismounted, and asked casually.

The man also deceived his legs and dismounted: "Are you really Xiong Jiajun?"

Zhou Chang's voice was a little strange when he heard the words: "We have never met, how can the strong man ask if we are Xiong Jiajun?"

The man did not explain his identity, but said the reason: "I heard that the county was hit by military disasters and bandits, and I sneaked into the county seat last night to find that my ancestor was safe and sound, and I also received ten catties of horse meat." The ancestor mentioned the benevolence and righteousness of the Xiong family's army, so he rushed over today to ask for the exact news. ”

Nodding, Zhou Chang was expressionless: "Now you already know that we are the troops of the Xiong Family's army." ”

"Under Xie Zhiliang, the people in the rivers and lakes call it the Soul Breaking Knife. Are you really Kenhachiro's army?"

Zhou Chang is the Praetorian Guard of the Great Ming Kingdom of Xiong Prince, and he can't reveal his identity under normal circumstances, so he speaks loudly: "It turned out to be Xie Zhuangshi, fortunately, I will be lucky! I don't know what Your Excellency has to say when you come from afar?"

Xie Zhiliang clenched his fists and said: "Locking the throat Jian Hachiro is chivalrous and righteous, and the name of the first killer in a hundred years is powerful in the rivers and lakes." Later, I heard that Xiong Daxia defeated the Dutch and Portuguese in the South China Sea, and also established a Ming Kingdom. Friends on Lingnan Road have dreamed of witnessing Xiong Daxia's demeanor, but unfortunately they have never had the opportunity. ”

People praised his master's name in person, and Zhou Chang naturally didn't dare to slack off: "Xie Zhuangshi's friendship with friends on Lingnan Road, if there is a chance, I will definitely convey it to our emperor." ”

After pondering for a while, Xie Zhiliang clenched his fists and said, "General, there is something to ask for below, I don't know if it is too presumptuous?"

Zhou Chang nodded: "As long as I can do it, and it doesn't violate the morality of the rivers and lakes, I should do my best." What the rivers and lakes pay attention to is a simple, Xie Zhuangshi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Xie Zhiliang's face showed joy: "The general led the army to Lingnan, I don't know if you know Wu Liuqi?"

Zhou Chang spread his hands: "Wu Liuqi, I'm really sorry, I'm new here, and I really haven't heard of this person." What's the matter, is Xie Zhuangshi here on the commission of Wu Liuqi?"

"No, no, the general misunderstood!" Xie Zhiliang hurriedly waved his hand: "Wu Liuqi is the scum of our Fujian and Guangdong martial arts roads, how can I accept his commission?"

"Jianghu scum?" Zhou Chang was a little strange: "Xie Zhuangshi came here today, is it just to introduce me to Wu Liuqi, the scum of the rivers and lakes? I just said that I have just arrived, and I am very unfamiliar with the things south of Meiling. Moreover, I am now in military affairs, and I can't have the energy to care too much about things on the rivers and lakes. ”

Xie Zhiliang's expression suddenly fell: "Wu Liuqi is idle, and he is also addicted to drinking and gambling. Soon after the death of his parents, he ruined his family property. At first, he was a flower outside, but he couldn't stand the rules of the beggar gang and was kicked out. In the end, there was no way to live, and it happened that Master Wuming of the Phoenix Temple in the southeast met him, so he took him to the temple as a handyman to eat. ”

"Although Wu Liuqi is hateful, he has a talent for martial arts. When Master Wuming taught his apprentices the stick method, Wu Liuqi took advantage of the opportunity to sweep the floor and learned all of them. One day, Master Wuming went down the mountain to make a fate, and Wu Liuqi took the initiative to ask to test the stick method with those apprentices, but he didn't expect to kill one person on the spot. ”

After the incident, Wu Liuqi did not run away, but knelt at the gate of the temple for three days and three nights. After Master Wuming came back, Wu Liuqi told him how he accidentally injured his senior brother. Master Wuming was also reasonable, and did not pursue the matter too much, but just drove Wu Liuqi down the mountain. ”

Zhou Chang shook his head: "According to what you said, Wu Liuqi is also a man who dares to act. Although his character is not good, he can't reach the scum of the rivers and lakes. Anyway, what does this person have to do with me, let Xie Zhuangshi make a special trip?"

Xie Zhiliang's face suddenly became full of hatred: "What I said just now was twenty years ago, and now Wu Liuqi has become a scum in the rivers and lakes, and it is directly related to the life and death of the eighteen villages in Lingnan, so I took the liberty to come to see the general." ”

As soon as Zhou Chang heard the grievances in the rivers and lakes, he immediately shook his head: "Although I don't know what Xie Zhuangshi invited for, but I am now a soldier, even if there is a dispute in the rivers and lakes, I can't interfere, I'm really sorry." ”

Xie Zhiliang saw that Zhou Chang wanted to leave, and immediately rushed to grab the reins of Zhou Chang's BMW: "If it is a simple matter of the rivers and lakes, of course I don't dare to take the liberty of asking to see the general." But if it comes to the Manchu Tartars, will the general also turn a blind eye?"
