The snipe and the clam fight

Originally, this local national treasure was planning to run away overnight and leave Chongming.

Although the Chongming navy was blocked by Qian Mo and others in the water village, it was not difficult to find some small boats on an island in Chongming.

However, after seeing the news sent by Qian Mo, Tu Guobao gave up the idea of ​​​​escape and prepared to raise the flag anyway.

After all, even if he escapes and loses his troops, cities and territory, he will still be punished with a serious crime.

Now that we raise troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty, not only our lives will be saved, but our private property and relatives on the island will also be saved.

He Tu Guobao was a water bandit before, but he was just a speculator, so how could he wholeheartedly work for the Qing Dynasty?

However, just in case, he still sent out many spies to gather the remaining soldiers and find out the news.

As a result, the spies came back and reported that there was internal strife between Yang Wenqi and Qian Mo in Chongming City.

So Tu Guobao gathered his troops overnight and fought back to Chongming City.

Tu Guobao was lucky. When he reached outside the city, Yang Wenqi gathered his troops to hunt down Qian Mo.

There were few soldiers left in the city, so Tu Guobao's team quickly took control of Chongming County.

When he discovered that his mansion was on fire and his family members had been brutally murdered, Tu Guobao was furious and immediately summoned a team to rush out of the city to settle the score with Yang Wenqi and the others.

At this time, deputy general Huang Dabiao once again stopped Tu Guobao, who was furious, and said: "General, please calm down. The top priority now is to rescue the captured brothers first, so that we can take revenge!"

Tu Guobao also felt that Huang Dabiao was a promising talent, so he immediately agreed and ordered Huang Dabiao to lead 300 elites out of the east gate to rescue people.

He led the rest of the troops to defend the county seat.

Not long after Huang Dabiao's troops set off, Yang Wenqi hurriedly led his troops to the south gate of Chongming.

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, and Tu Guobao immediately scolded: "Well, you Yang Wenqi, we have just met each other, but you actually plotted against me and killed my family members. You and I have a sworn hatred. Today we will definitely kill each other."

You must pay your debt with blood!"

When Yang Wenqi saw that Tu Guobao had reoccupied the county seat, he knew that he was still too late.

I felt very regretful. This time I stole the chicken but lost the rice and paid the money to my grandma's house.

Instead of killing Qian Mo, he lost three to four hundred people here, and almost all three No. 1 lucky ships were destroyed.

Of course, what I feel most distressed about is the 350,000 taels of silver I left in Chongming County, which I earned with all my life.

As a "veteran" who has been in officialdom for many years, Yang Wenqi is well versed in the ways of thick and thin.

He immediately put on an innocent look and said, "Brother Tu, it's unfair for you to say that. I'm just following that brat Qian Mo's way."

"This plan to raid Chongming was designed and arranged by Qian Mo. Brother, I was forced to do nothing!"

Tu Guobao said: "Even if the raid on Chongming was designed by Qian Mo, then why did my family offend you, and why did your men kill them all?"

Yang Wenqi continued to pretend to be innocent and said: "Brother Tu, why did you say this? If you and I are brothers, can I have the heart to kill your family members?"

"This must have been framed by this kid Qian Mo. You also know that this guy is very scheming and full of evil. I have suffered a lot from him."

This Yang Wenqi is indeed a "veteran actor". After a tearful performance, others really believed him.

Naturally, Tu Guobao would not believe Yang Wenqi's lies, but Huang Dabiao had just left the east gate not long ago, so he had to drag Yang Wenqi here.

Tu Guobao said: "So, is it really not you who did this?"

Yang Wenqi was an actor, and he said sternly: "I, Yang Wenqi, swear to God, if Brother Tu's family members are killed by my subordinates, I will strike five thunderbolts that day and they will not die a happy death!"

Tu Guobao cursed in his heart: Why didn't the thunder kill you?

If the housekeeper hadn't escaped by hiding in the dog hole, I really would have been deceived by you!

Tu Guobao continued: "Even if your subordinates did not do this, you ambushed me last night and killed many of my troops. How should this account be settled?"

Yang Wenqi said: "Brother Tu, brother, I was bewitched by Qian Mo's kid. I didn't mean to offend. Do you think what's going on now?"

Of course, Yang Wenqi was not a fool. He had already sent people to Wusong to order all the remaining troops to come to support him. He calculated that the time was coming soon, otherwise he would not have the time to chat with Tu Guobao.

He doesn't have any siege equipment now, so he can't defeat Chongming City by force. He can only stabilize the Tuguobao first.

At this time, deputy general Wang An said: "Brother, this is not right. Tu Guobao seems to be deliberately delaying us."

"We are waiting for reinforcements, what is he waiting for?"

"Camp hijacking"?

The two shouted in unison!

Yang Wenqi immediately shouted: "Wang An quickly take your troops to support the military camp where the prisoners are held!"

Seeing that Yang Wenqi had already reacted, Tu Guobao stopped acting.

He shouted: "I'll give these bastards a hard blow!"

"Bang, bang, bang"

All I could see was a cloud of gunpowder smoke on top of the city, and gunmen taking turns firing.

However, Yang Wenqi had already paid attention, and all his men stopped 50 steps away from the city gate.

Tu Guobao reacted and ordered the soldiers to fire arrows.

Although the bow and arrow can shoot up to 70 steps, they no longer have much power.

It is said that the end of a strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu Zun, and I only heard some sporadic metal collision sounds.

Outside the east city on the other side.

At this time, Huang Dabiao had already led his men to the camp where the surrendered soldiers were detained.

Fortunately, Qian Mo repeatedly warned Yang Wenqi before that he must strengthen the supervision of the surrendered troops.

Yang Wenqi then left 200 elite guards behind, preparing to reorganize the prisoners of war after dawn.

Even at the most critical moment of the encirclement and suppression of Qian Mo, Yang Wenqi did not dare to mobilize this part of the force.

Huang Dabiao understands that time is of the essence. As long as he rescues these surrendered soldiers in time, the situation can be reversed.

When they meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Huang Dabiao took the lead and rushed forward with a big sword in his hand.

At this time, Yang Wenqi's troops in the camp also discovered the enemy's situation.

General Manager Lin said: "Don't panic, everyone, form a formation to meet the enemy."

"Deputy Commander Chen, you lead 50 soldiers to watch the surrendering troops behind you. Anyone who dares to move will be shot to death!"

Although the surrendered soldiers in the camp found someone coming to rescue them, they were now defenseless.

When several of their comrades who took the lead in charging forward were ruthlessly killed, they chose to remain on the sidelines for the time being.

After all, their lives are not in danger if they stay here, and the person who rushed up just now met the King of Hell directly.

Moreover, they were killed so tragically last night that many people are still terrified!

"Bang, bang, bang"

Yang Wenqi's muskets started shooting. At this time, Huang Dabiao was less than 50 steps away from the camp. Although one or twenty people were shot one after another, most of them were only injured.

The shooting speed of the blunderbuss with a match rope as a fuse was too slow, and the enemy was in a panic. They didn't even have time to shoot the second shot. Huang Dabiao and others were already in front of them.

At this time, Mr. Lin shouted: "The shield soldiers hold on, the spear soldiers come up!"

In fact, in a confrontation at this distance, the efficiency of bows and arrows may be higher than that of firecrackers. After all, the continuous emission speed of bows and arrows is much higher than that of firecrackers. But at this time, after the 50 firecrackers retreated, only 100 people were left.

On the front line.

If it weren't for the superior terrain, I'm afraid it would have collapsed.

After Huang Dabiao's first wave of soldiers came into contact with the shield at the camp gate, many of them were stabbed by the spears thrust out of the gap between the shields.

Huang Dabiao avoided the thrusting spear and shouted until he threw the spear.

I saw the Qing army behind them also throwing a round of spears, and seven or eight people from Mr. Lin fell to the ground in response.

Huang Dabiao knocked back the shield soldier, and then chopped down your other shield soldier with a knife.

Another Qing soldier took the opportunity to slash at the soldier behind him, and Yang Wenqi's shield array was torn open.

The two sides fought hand to hand, and within a short time dozens of people fell one after another.

I saw Huang Dabiao walking confidently and very fast, and directly approached Mr. Lin.

In a confrontation, the weapons of both sides collided, almost causing sparks to appear.

Mr. Lin was obviously not as strong as Huang Dabiao. He was so shocked that he took several steps back and fell to the ground.

Huang Dabiao seized the opportunity and slashed through with a move called "Strike Huashan", and then Lin Bianzong cleverly avoided it with a "lazy donkey roll" move.

At this time, Huang Dabiao stopped entangled and directly killed people in the camp.

When General Lin saw that the situation was over, he could only call a dozen soldiers near the camp gate to retreat quickly.

The surrender soldiers who had chosen to wait and watch just now were also ready to make a sneak attack from behind.
