Is it Chen Kai who can't hold the knife anymore, or is it that you, Tong Guoqi, have drifted away!

After hearing this, these officers all concluded that Tong Guoqi was crazy and needed to explain to this guy with ideological problems what the military was all about.

Issues such as the defeat of the army and the time being too short and the lack of soldiers can be put aside for the time being. The most important thing is to put it on the bright side. Regarding weapons and equipment, the Ming army must be armed to the teeth. Chen Kai, as a civilian who made his debut in weapons manufacturing,

It is the most important part; and they, Tong Guoqi's servants, soldiers and domestic slaves have knives. Most of the other officers and soldiers picked up a not very straight stick as a spear on the road. Not only did they not have

Time and energy have been used to sharpen it, and even the size ranges from three to six feet. It is more like a walking stick than a spear. As for the war horses, armor and bows and arrows, they are completely gone!

With such a disparity in weapons and equipment, even if they have twice the strength, is it possible that the soldiers can still bite the Ming army's iron armor with their teeth? It is estimated that they will not even have a chance to bite by then. On the way to the charge,

They were beaten into hedgehogs and sieves by the Ming army's bows, arrows and firecrackers.

What do you call giving away one's boss? This is the most typical way of giving away one's boss!

They couldn't understand why Tong Guoqi, who was still calculating all the options before, suddenly got a cramp in his head, but these days, he has indeed accumulated some prestige. After all, if it weren't for him, they might have been transported to Qiongzhou by now.

I gave it to the Great Demon King Cai to strengthen his virility.

It is precisely because of this that when they heard the bad news that the Ming army was catching up, they did not abandon Tong Guoqi and disperse. However, this loyalty also disappeared quickly as time went by. To put it bluntly, Guangxin Mansion was ahead.

, no one wants to follow such a madman and die in the moment before dawn.

However, at this moment, Tong Guoqi still looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in hand. He explained his behavior to them in detail, as he had done since escaping from Xincheng County, instead of pressuring them like a superior.

According to Tong Guoqi's analysis, there are two thousand green battalions in Guangxin Prefecture, and Quzhou is where Prince Zheng Jidu's army is located. If the Ming army was only a small force, they would never dare to enter the boundaries of Guangxin Prefecture.

, it is not worth provoking the Eight Banners Army for a group of defeated troops. But it is different now. The Ming Army has a thousand soldiers and horses. Although it is not much, but based on the level of the Guangdong and Jiangxi governors, they still have the confidence to defeat the Green Camp of Guangxin Prefecture head-on.

, thinking about it, they also believe that they can deal with them before the Eight Banners Army arrives. In this way, just climbing over the mountain and crossing the boundary monument is definitely not enough. And Guangxin Prefecture probably doesn't dare to go either

Provoking thousands of Ming army elites. One more thing is better than one less thing. Everyone in the officialdom understands this principle. There is no reason why it won't work in Guangxin Mansion.

In this case, the only two thousand soldiers they can rely on to save themselves. Otherwise, their fate will end with them being killed one by one by the Ming army who caught up after they climbed over the mountain exhausted.

At the foot of the mountain or in the forest.

"Of course, I also understand that with the current state of our army, there is no chance of winning in a wild war." He said a nonsense that everyone thought, but the word "but" immediately reunited the morale of the army.

For more than an hour, a Ming army of about a thousand people with flags flying followed them here. This is a mountain valley with lush trees on both sides of the hills. From a military point of view, this is a good place to set up an ambush, but the Ming army did not.

He appeared to be extremely arrogant and arrogant, marching arrogantly without even sending out a scouting horse.

Compared with the defeated troops discovered earlier, they indeed had reasons to be arrogant. Moreover, after climbing over the mountain in the distance, they entered the territory of Guangxin Mansion. They did not even pay attention to the Green Camp of Guangxin Mansion.

, let alone those defeated generals.

The Ming army was marching swaggeringly, and some crow muttered something like "You have to be careful about ambush in this kind of terrain." Murphy's law was triggered. Suddenly, a group of Qing troops rushed out of the distance.

, at the same time, a large number of flags also popped up in the mountains and forests on both sides, and the shouts of "His Royal Highness Prince Zheng of the Qing Dynasty is leading the Eight Banners Army here, and those who come will surrender quickly" were heard throughout.

Although the Qing army that came out in front was at best a group of infantry wearing green camp uniforms, with no flags or drums, and no cavalry. If you look closely at the flags on both sides, it seems that the shape and the height of the flagpole are not right. But

After all, the Eight Banners Army was the Eight Banners Army, and its invincible reputation was still no joke. At this moment, the arrogant Ming army could be seen changing their ranks almost instantly, shouting "We are ambushed" and "

The real Tatars are coming." He dropped his weapons and flags and retreated.

Everything happened too fast. These Fujian Fubiao officers with low-level backgrounds, like their subordinates, were stunned to see everything happening. It was so smooth. However, compared to these ignorant people,

The governor, who was not arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat, still sent out a Qing army led by his former captain, each holding a simple flag made of a wooden stick tied to the green battalion sill, and continued to march towards the Ming army.

He "chased" him in the direction of escape with great fanfare.

"Quickly, tell the soldiers below not to waste time, clean the battlefield quickly, and take the weapons and flags. The bandits were just shocked by the sudden appearance of the Eight Banners Army. They will definitely catch up when they react. We don't have much time.

,quick!"

Tong Guoqi's command was like the morning bell of an ancient temple. Once it hit their ears, it made them react as if they were enlightened. After these days of running in, the officers have gradually become proficient.

After driving the soldiers, they quickly collected all the flags and weapons dropped by the Ming army. Unfortunately, the shoes of these Ming soldiers were probably stuck to their feet with fish bladder glue, and not a single shoe was left behind.

.

This is a strange thing. Another strange thing is that the flags and weapons dropped by the Ming army all belong to the Qing army. To be precise, they are from Fujian Tibiao. Not only are they not used by Chen Kai's supervisor, they are

The five-foot spears and new firecrackers do not have the shields commonly used by other armies. As for the lancets and lancet guns, these items are used by the Ming and Qing armies of the same style, and there are some differences, but there are no

People have this leisurely attitude.

"I believe that after annihilating our troops, the bandits are going to use the flags, drums, flags and weapons of the Green Battalion to deceive Guangxin Fucheng. This must be the case!"

"Boss Fujun is so clever and clever, I admire him so much."

Amid another burst of compliments, Tong Guoqi humbled the two armies, and then praised the performance of his officers and soldiers. It was precisely because of their superb acting skills that they frightened off the pursuers. It was their actions that

The crisis was resolved. Moreover, he also stated that he would write to the court to request for their commendation and so on.

The Ming army fled, the threat of death was lifted, and now there was a possibility of further promotion and wealth. The officers were overjoyed. Of course, they did not forget the old governor in front of them, who was smarter than Zhuge, and they all expressed their willingness to serve under Tong Guoqi.

I am willing to fight under my command for the rest of my life.

Everyone was in harmony, but not long after, after Qiangqiang had cleaned up the battlefield, the Qing army sent by Tong Guoqi rushed back. In the words of the old guard captain, they chased for a while and frightened the Ming army. But when they arrived

Later, the fleeing speed of the Ming army began to slow down gradually. They suspected that some among the Ming army had recovered from the initial shock, so they quickly retreated.

"In this case, before the bandits have fully reacted, our army should get out of danger as soon as possible." Caressing the long beard under his chin, Tong Guoqi felt more and more the importance of a feather fan in the eyes of his admirers.

In the next few days, they crossed the mountains and appeared on the bank of Lu River. They collected some fishing boats nearby, cut down a large number of bamboos and woven them into bamboo rafts, and then took advantage of the water power to make rafts. This was better than walking down the river.

They came too quickly, and soon they turned into the Baita River and entered the territory of Anren County.

This is the boundary of Raozhou Prefecture. Fortunately, the current magistrate of Anren County had served in Fujian before. He saw Tong Guoqi and sent some food and grass. However, this is not Tong Guoqi's destination. He was on his way to Guangxin Prefecture.

Yes, according to Chen Kai's analysis, he had a way to survive only if he went there. Then, after just a few days of rest, the army moved up the Xin River.

Their next stop was Guixi County, which is located at the western end of Guangxin Prefecture, and Fucheng is located in the east-central part of the prefecture. They need to pass through Guixi, Yiyang, and later Qianshan County seat along the Xin River.

Hekou Town, continue eastward to reach Guangxin Fucheng.

However, when they arrived in Guixi County, they were stopped by the local government. Although these Fujian Green Camp officers and soldiers were very uncomfortable, Tong Guoqi showed an understanding attitude. After all, this is Guangxin Prefecture, and Jianchang Prefecture in the south has already

Falling into the hands of the Ming army, Quzhou Prefecture to the east had the Eight Banners heavy military group. Allowing a company of temporary troops to flee all the way, the local civil and military officials had to bear a lot of responsibility.

Guixi County has made a guarantee that it will report to the Guangxin government office and the Jiangxi governor's office, but Tong Guoqi never intended to hand over his life to those Jiangxi civil and military officials who had been so dirty earlier. Therefore, Tong Guoqi expressed his understanding and led

While his subordinates were temporarily settled in the newly built military camp outside the city, he immediately sent his trusted aides to write to Prince Zheng of Quzhou, to apologize to the Manchu Qing court, and to the tribesmen in the capital to ask for help.

Speaking of which, what can really determine his life or death is not the imperial court and his tribe, but His Royal Highness Prince Zheng, who is only twenty-five years old. He is indeed responsible for the fall of Xincheng County, but he can also carry a force of two thousand

The rest of the Green Battalion escaped back to the area controlled by the Qing army. He had both merits and demerits. Whether the merits outweighed the faults or the faults outweighed the merits, the key was whether he was still useful in the eyes of the Qing court. The opinions of front-line commanders were basically

The commander-in-chief can decide all this. Even if he has a fault, as long as the front-line commander thinks he is still useful, he will have the opportunity to redeem himself and make meritorious deeds.

The content of the letter was something he had already thought of on the way. It was nothing more than emphasizing that his Fubiao could assist in the defense of Guangxin Mansion, implying that it could play a role in covering Jidu's flanks. But...
