"We now have ten companies, and we can divide the troops into two groups. Liu Chongyue, you lead 500 people around the left wing of the Qing army. I will lead the remaining five companies to attack head-on. Do you think there is anything else to add?"

Liu Chongyue said: "Your Highness, my 300 people are enough, you still..."

Li Yunzhong looked unhappy: "You look down on me, then let's compete with each other to see who kills more enemies. The loser must agree to a reasonable condition for the winner. That's it!"

Although Liu Chongyue felt very embarrassed, seeing that the King of Han was determined, he had to take the order and leave.

Luo Zenan, who had just passed Dongxiang County, was very angry. The magistrate of Dongxiang County was really ungrateful. It would be fine if the army did not arrange military affairs when passing through the border, but he didn't even allow the city gate to enter!

Wu Enze said angrily: "If this county magistrate is in my hands, he must remove him from all over! Zhi Niang was so angry that he was so angry that he still had a few bags of food from the city gate. He didn't bring such a bag of food to beggar!"

Luo Zenan pouted and replied, "What the magistrate did is a bit too much. Don't take it seriously. As long as we keep Yujiang County, we will make a great contribution. It is not easy to get promoted or make a fortune."

Wu Enze knew that Luo Zenan was comforting him, and he felt that it was inappropriate to complain to a filial and honest magistrate. He was still free to beside him and cursed.

"Report to the commander, there are short hairs ahead to block the way."

Luo Zenan put down the pancake in his hand and asked cautiously: "How many of them are there?"

The spy replied: "I have investigated it several times, and they must have only more than 500 people, and there are many 14 or 15-year-old boys mixed in!"

Wu Enze touched the sword and smiled obscenely: "I didn't expect that as soon as I left the provincial capital, a credit came to my door. Commander Luo, let's kill it! I heard that the short-haired Han King Li Yunzhong prefers the boy, hehe..."

Luo Zenan also felt that this battle could be fought and said solemnly: "This is our first battle to send troops. Since there are few short-haired people, it is okay for us to go up and eliminate them. Thank you for leading thousands of people as the vanguard, and I will hold the formation for you from behind."

Wu Enze left excitedly.

Li Yunzhong looked at the Qing army gradually approaching and sneered repeatedly. They probably hadn't discovered the actual situation of the foreign gun team, but they rushed over in a dense formation!

Li Yunzhong shouted calmly: "Put the Qing army in before firing, save some bullets!"

"shot!"

"Bang"

"Bang"

...

Seeing that all the enemy troops were using firearms, Wu Enze shouted in the back formation: "Brothers, disperse! Don't be afraid! They can only fire a shot and rush forward to kill them..."

"Kill...rush..."

"kill……"

Li Yunzhong saw a few young boys trembling with bullets on their hands and vented them: "Don't panic! The Qing army will retreat after firing three more shots, so everyone hold on!"

"Bang bang"

Seeing the brothers being shot and falling to the ground, Jiang Zhongyi advised Wu Enze, who was standing there: "Sir, this short-haired firearm is really powerful. The brothers have suffered heavy casualties. Even if they rush forward, they will not get any benefits. Let's retreat first!"

Wu Enze looked at the brother who was lying on the ground and said unwillingly: "I'm about to rush up, just retreat like this?"

"But these are all the soldiers of the governor. It is unfair to be shot to death by foreign guns like this. It is better for us to go back and make a calculation with Lord Luo." Jiang Zhongyi was so distressed that these soldiers were all his capital for his life and promotion and wealth. They could not be destroyed here.

Wu Enze felt that what Jiang Zhongyi said was reasonable, but he was very unwilling to accept it. In the end, reason defeated the impulse and shouted with a ferocious look: "Retreat the army! Send the order... Retreat the army, leave the personal soldiers as guards, and carry all the injured brothers down!"

Seeing the enemy retreating, Li Yunzhong secretly felt fortunate. He didn't expect that this group of Qing troops was so tenacious. He knew that moving forward was death, but he did not retreat at all. This was something he had never encountered before. Even Zhang Guoliang's tide was much worse than them.

"Come on! Go and catch someone alive, I have something to ask!"

"As for order!" The two personal guards quickly escorted one of the wounded soldiers left by the Qing army.

"Who are you in that part of the matter? Who are the commanders?" Li Yunzhong took the water bag and asked while drinking.

The soldier covered the wound on his left leg and gritted his teeth and said, "You don't need to ask anymore. I can't say anything. Kill me!"

Li Yunzhong took out his dagger and said slowly: "I like to interrogate you hard bones the most, haha... I can play the human stick game again!"

Seeing Li Yunzhong’s strange words, the Qing soldier couldn’t help but beat the cicada and asked, “What is a human stick game?”

Li Yunzhong picked up a branch on the ground and demonstrated: "The human stick game is like it, cutting off the 'hands' first, and then cutting off the 'foot'. Look, this is just a human stick! Your leg is also injured, so it won't hurt even if it is cut off. Come on, let's try it!"

The Qing soldier covered his legs and saw that Li Yunzhong was about to slash over, he said in horror: "I don't want to be a human stick. If you want to ask, just ask whatever you want. At most, you can give me some fun after you ask!"

Li Yunzhong pointed at Qing Jun with a knife and said, "I only asked you four questions. If you answer one wrong, you will cut off one of your arms! You will cut off two wrong answers and cut off your arms, and three wrong answers. Now, even if I don't say it, you know what I will do?"

"Cut off your arms and another foot!"

Li Yunzhong smiled evilly and said, "I've answered correctly. The first question is, which part of the Qing army that attacked here just now?"

The Qing soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that he could not answer the questions asked by the other side, so he replied calmly: "We are Chu Yong under the command of Governor Jiang, and we are ordered to support Yujiang County."

Li Yunzhong continued to play with the dagger and asked: "The second question is, how many people are there in Jiang Zhongyuan and Chu Yong?"

"In addition, there are 5,000 Xiangyong brought by Lord Luo."

Li Yunzhong asked his most concerned question: "The third question is that Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army brigade has arrived in Jiangxi. Where are they now?"

"I really don't know about this. I'm just a whistle chief. What you are asking about is a military secret. Only officials above the commander can know it!"

Lieutenant General Li Yun inserted the dagger between the Qing soldiers' legs and scared him: "I don't know? Then you want to be a human stick!"

"I said... I said, Zeng Guofan left some of his troops to continue to besiege Jiujiang, and the rest were unknown. My official position was too small, so I really don't know! It's useless for you to make me a Chengren stick."

"The fourth question, where do you think Zeng Guofan is now?"

"This... I said! I saw that Nanchang always transported grain and grass to Panyang County. I guess they were stationed near Panyang County! I all said that you kill me! I will die when I go back."

After asking the answer he wanted to know, Li Yunzhong stood up: "Take him down and hurt him, give him the money to go home."

Wu Enze came to Luo Zenan in shame and said depressedly: "The general of the United States is incompetent. Although there are only 500 rebels, they are all equipped with firearms. The general of the United States cannot rush forward at all. Please punish me!"

"Everyone is equipped with firearms! Is there a big short-haired figure in front of you?" Luo Zenan guessed.

Wu Enze really didn't want to provoke this group of short hairs and retorted: "I heard that short hairs use firearms in this set. Unlike our Qing generals who like to use firearms as guards, there are also many musket teams like this in the short hair army. I heard that Lord Zeng has sent people to Guangdong to purchase foreign guns. If we wait until we have foreign guns and then deal with these short hairs, we will definitely be able to kill them all."

Luo Zenan didn't expect that Wu Enze was afraid of being like this, so he didn't even have the courage to fight. He said angrily: "Our army was ordered to support Yu Jiang. If we can't even get hundreds of short hairs, how can we fight with the brigade of short hairs? You are rushing behind, and I will lead our troops to annihilate them!"

"Sir, think twice. This group of short-haired foreign guns are fast and accurate, and it is really difficult to deal with. If you want to have a short and short…"

Luo Zenan shouted: "It's a pity that you were brought by Min Qiao. How could you be so greedy for life and death? No matter how powerful the firearm is, you can only fire a few shots. When our army rushed to the thieves, they were fish on the chopping board. They could not only capture a large number of foreign guns, but also attack short-haired morale, killing multiple shots in one fell swoop!"

Looking at Luo Zenan's passionate command of his subordinates, Jiang Zhongyi mocked: "This Luo Zenan relies on his fame. If you don't take my elder brother seriously, it's better to make a mistake. Let him remember his surname!"

Li Xubin looked at the short hairs that were arranged in the tread formation in front of him and advised Luo Zenan: "Teacher, there are only 500 short hairs, but the formation is rigorous and changeable. No matter where our army attacks, they can adapt to the situation. Without ten times the troops, I am afraid they cannot be captured!"

Luo Zenan nodded in approval: "Kehui, you said it well. I am very proud to accept you as a student. Your future is unlimited, but you have a fatal weakness, which is impulse."

Li Xubin just smiled and was very happy to appreciate his mentor's appreciation, and said hard: "The short hair can rely on firearms. If we can weaken the firearms or lose their effect, then this group of short hairs is not worth worrying about."

Thinking of the panic of the short-haired firearm failure, Luo Zenan laughed and said, "What Kehui said is so true. It's ridiculous that Wu Enze only knows to attack hard and does not know how to adapt. I'm afraid they will still laugh at us later. It's so stupid!"

"Mustguns can penetrate armor, and ammunition belongs to fire. It is better to use earth to overcome it. It is better to use loess to make blocks of earth on wooden carts, and soldiers lie behind them, so that they can easily get close to short hair." Li Xubin quickly came up with a way to deal with it.
