Lai Qixiao's Wuxing camp did not succeed, or rather, it was a fiasco.

More than 4,000 people surrounded and killed more than 1,000 people in the city, and the enemy finally had more than 800 people left to fight back.

The loss of more than 2,000 people, only less than 400 enemies were killed, and the battle loss was close to 5 to 1, which made Zhou Chang regret it.

The courage of these people is commendable, but the equipment is too poor, let alone untrained, and their combat effectiveness is really too weak.

The thousands of people who were ambushed in the dense forest outside the city did not rush out to answer until the end, which made Zhou Chang puzzled.

Now is the time to figure out what's going on.

Because more than 2,000 cavalry with pigtails had already been intercepted and killed from the south of the city to the west gate, the remnants of the Wuxing battalion that had just run out of the city had lost nearly 100 people in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Chang knocked the horse's belly with his heels, and shouted at the same time: "Kill it, destroy these Qing dogs!"

More than 3,000 cavalry suddenly appeared on the enemy's flank, and the distance was less than three miles, this deterrent force was not ordinarily large.

In particular, Zhou Chang led the Praetorian Guard Battalion of Xiong Chu, except for Zhou Chang and Zhou Xi, two brothers who used iron spears, the other soldiers were all unified seven-foot swords.

The shape of this chopping knife is very strange, it was specially designed by Xiong Chu, and the blade and handle are almost the same length.

The tip of the knife is crescent-shaped, which is to lock the enemy's weapon, the back of the knife is one finger thick, which is to increase the inertial force of the chop, and the straight blade is three fingers wide, but it is three feet five inches long and weighs 28 catties.

The 3,500 people were divided into five teams to cross the past, and the movements of more than 3,000 horse chopping knives were neat and uniform, and the cold light flashed in the rapid sprint of the war horses, and the murderous aura was monstrous.

The scouts were right, the enemy was all native horses from the south, and they were small in stature. I was able to walk freely in the mountains, but I met my opponent today.

The war horses of the Praetorian Guard Battalion are all Yanqi horses cultivated in the Xiongjia Military Horse Farm, which are not only extremely fast, but also good at long-distance running, and can cross rivers and rivers.

When the enemy finds himself outnumbered, it will be too late to retreat.

After the two cavalry teams met each other, the enemy had already collapsed.

The main reason for this result is that the saber is sharpened like clay. The enemy collided head-on, and all the weapons in his hands were cut off. Some of the enemies were unlucky, and even their men and weapons were cut into four pieces and fell off their horses.

There was no way to fight, and running away was the only right option.

Of course, the root cause of the enemy's cavalry to collapse at the touch of a button was because of those who rushed out of the city.

In the eyes of the enemy, the 4,000 men who stormed the city were nothing more than bait, and the main deployment was this cavalry.

"The whole army retreats freely, and the enemy has an ambush!"

Of course, Zhou Chang will not tell the enemy: he is just at the right time, and seeing the cheap stretch out his hand, it is not a predetermined strategy.

Since the enemy's commander has shouted, of course Zhou Chang has to shout: "A thousand people will enter the city to clear the remnants of the enemy, and the rest of the people will return immediately after ten miles!"

If you don't shout, you can't do it, because your task is to be "vigilant", and once you chase and kill too far and don't return in time, you may delay the fighter.

If you delay a fighter, you will be beheaded, and this is the key. If you can't kill the enemy today, you can stay and continue to kill tomorrow.

Zhou Chang naturally didn't chase and kill the enemy, and he was not in the mood to figure out what kind of organization Wuxing Camp was, he wanted to go to the city to have a look.

If Zhuo Butai can be caught, it will be regarded as a foreign fortune.

Making foreign fortune is generally only done in dreams, and Zhou Chang is not dreaming now, so there is no way to make a foreign fortune.

The city was already in a mess, the streets were littered with corpses, and the bloodstains were shocking.

All kinds of ways to die, strange appearances, and a strong bloody aura rushed towards them, which made people sick.

Zhou Chang didn't know what hell was like, but he felt that Chengxiang County was now hell on earth.

There are no living people on the streets except their own.

The only thing that is more normal is the county yamen. Very ordinary wooden plank structure, black and blue, it should not have been repainted for some years, it seems that this county is not rich.

"Let's take a look and see what Qinggou is doing here. If possible, ask two people to come and ask. If you can't find it, you must not disturb the people, after all, we are about to leave. ”

The soldiers quickly cleaned up the county government and let Zhou Chang sit down in the lobby to rest, and then transferred the files in the prison to see who was being held.

Zhou Chang is very particular about reading the dossier.

Those who commit adultery and plunder do not look at it, those who are deceived and abducted, those who murder officials and rebel, and those who do not pay their debts.

After flipping through a few sets of files, Zhou Chang lost any interest: "Forget it, there's nothing to see." The people who are still locked up here are not good things, so let them stay locked up. ”

After a short time, the captain of the pro-soldier took the two old men to the yamen hall tremblingly, and Zhou Chang had a hard time listening to his lame official words: "General, I don't know what to call the little old man over? ”

"Old man, please sit down, I don't want grain and grass, let alone gold and silver treasures, I just want to know something. Zhou Chang hurriedly dispelled the old man's concerns: "You just said that there were continuous disasters, but Qinggou should have been driven away as soon as he came, how could he continue to suffer disasters? ”

The old man's head sighed: "Alas, Emperor Longwu just urged the salary on the front foot, and somehow it became Emperor Shaowu to ask for military salary." Anyway, they are all emperors, there is no family and country under the broken mountains and rivers, and there are no eggs under the nest? ”

"But the general didn't know that not only the emperor wanted military salaries, but also the nearby bandits wanted food and grass. The bandits came twice a month, and the people couldn't survive. To tell the truth, the people were afraid of the emperor, but even more afraid of the bandits. Thousands of people came in before, and that was the bandits. ”

"There are also pigtailed troops coming into the city, and they are not things. When he sees a man, he slashes him, but he does not kill him. When he slashed it, he shouted, 'Give me the gold and silver treasures!' and that's it. If you hand it over, you'll be fine, and if you don't, you'll be hacked to death. ”

Although the old man's words were difficult to understand, Zhou Chang still heard the main meaning, it turned out that the more than 4,000 people who rushed into the city before were bandits that everyone feared in the eyes of the people!

Zhou Chang felt a little surprised: "Old man, those people all went into the city to kill the pigtail army, how can they be bandits?

The two old men shook their heads and sighed: "Alas, how can you be wrong? The leaders are called Tu Wuzi and Zhong Shengshan, our Chengxiang County is their territory, they have come to at least 30 times, and every time they enter the city, they have to loot for five or six days, and the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law don't know how much they have been ruined, who doesn't know them?"

After sending the two old men away, Zhou Chang's face was a little unsightly.

Under the banner of resisting the Qing Dynasty, this is simply scum.

"Major General: One thousand two hundred and thirty-nine enemy horses were captured in the dense forest east of the city, all of which were high-grade Mongolian horses. Seventy-six Qinggou who were guarding the horses were killed, and later more than 200 Qinggou rushed over to find the horses and were also killed. ”

"One hundred and seventy chests of gold, silver, and jewels were seized in the city, apparently stolen from all over the city. But the packaging is very good, all of them are camphor wood boxes wrapped in iron sheets, and there are seals attached to them, as if they are ready to be transported to a long place. ”

"The corpses on the streets of the city were simply cleaned up, and about two hundred and forty Qinggou were killed, and the others looked like the corpses of ordinary people. We don't have much time, so we may not be able to deal with it. ”

Hearing a lot of things that the captain of the pro-soldier said, Zhou Chang was a little angry: "It's not something I care about, why haven't the people who chased and killed Shili come back, do they take my words as a deaf ear?"

"Report - Major General, someone outside the city asks to see you!"

It's really what to say, Zhou Chang didn't care about his people back, but now outsiders are coming.

"The last general, Lai Qixiao, is the commander of the Wuxing battalion under the command of the marshal Zhang Jiayu. I don't know the general's surname?"

Zhou Chang looked at it intently, and it was a small man who looked like he was in his thirties, he should have practiced martial arts, and his skills were not weak.

"Hmm-" Zhou Chang hesitated for a moment before saying, "My surname is Zhou, and I just happened to lead my troops to pass by here." Seeing Qinggou doing nonsense here, he taught a lesson by the way. As for your Wuxing camp, I heard about it for the first time today. On the contrary, there are often bandits here, which is really intolerable. Why did you come to see me?"

"The general's words are wrong!" Lai Qixiao hugged his fists and said: "Tu Wuzi and the others were indeed bandits who occupied the mountains in the past, but now they have changed their ways and gone all out to resist the Qing Dynasty, they are real righteous people, how can it be intolerable?"

Zhou Chang snorted coldly: "You go to the city and ask, every time you enter the city, you loot for five or six days, and you also spoil the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law, you are simply a bunch of brutes! Our people have to bear the cruelty of the Qing dog, and we have to be destroyed by the local bandits, is there any reason for this? Say, what are you looking for me for?"

"I just want to ask, is your ministry the official army of Emperor Shaowu?" Lai Qixiao seemed a little embarrassed: "Also, can you give us some of the weapons left by the braided army that were killed?"

Zhou Chang's eyes froze, as if two cold rays of light shot into Lai Qixiao's heart, making him tremble suddenly: "Commander Lai, I don't know what Emperor Shaowu is, and I don't know." If it is a real anti-Qing righteous soldier, of course I can give him those weapons. ”

"However, if it is Tu Wuzi's bandits, I would rather destroy them all than give them. If I see them mutilating the people in the future, they will be killed. I hope you tell them to behave for themselves and not make mistakes. ”

As if breathing a sigh of relief, Lai Qixiao clenched his fists and said: "General, rest assured, Tu Wuzi is here to assist in the siege this time, and it does not belong to our Wuxing battalion." If the general sends us weapons, of course, we must use them with colorless real anti-Qing warriors. ”

It's useless to keep it, and the soldiers of the Xiongchu Praetorian Guard Battalion like war horses and weapons for Manchu Tartar things.

The words that should have been said have been said, and the meaning of the warning has been transmitted, and Zhou Chang proposed a quid pro quo: "Since Commander Lai said so, of course I believe you." All the weapons left behind by the pigtailed army will be handed over to you, and fifty war horses will be given to you, wishing you victory in every battle with Qinggou. ”

"I have a request, because there is another combat mission, that is, we are about to leave, you are locals, can you bury the corpses inside and outside the city, or burn them in a centralized manner? ”

What should come is always coming, and the gods can't stop it, and mortals can't stop it.

Zhou Chang quickly cut through the mess, and used weapons to "hire" Lai Qixiao's Wu Xingying to collect the corpse, just to leave this place as much as possible.

As a result, if you want to hurry, you will not reach it, but you will be swept into another pool of troubled waters, and it will not be easy to leave lightly.
