Li Guolou leaned beside the Fengxue Thunder Horse, waiting for the battle situation of the second team of rangers. Goshha Xu Biao was shot by a cold gun. Fortunately, the weapons of the returning army were lagging behind. Although Xu Biao was hit in the chest by a cold gun, the wound was not deep. , it was not fatal, but it made him very angry, so he sent a second team of more than 60 rangers to capture the Hui guerrillas.
Li Guolou was restless. It was almost noon, and no one from the front had sent a military report. This was inconsistent with wartime regulations. What happened in Yan'an? He had no idea. He asked the team to stop and rest, and sent a ranger to inquire. information.
There was the rumble of horse hooves, and a cloud of yellow clouds rose in the western sky. Li Yunkai led a group of rangers back. The three cavalrymen in front had a human head tied to their horse rings, and Li Yunkai's horse also had a human head tied to it. There were still other people in the team. He was escorting two big men. When he got closer, he saw that they were two women.
"Damn it, girls are also guerrillas." The Qing soldiers in the team laughed strangely, and curiously stepped forward to look at the two women, as if they were admiring a piece of furniture. Can they take it home? Just in a thought. .
"It's nonsense. If you do this during the march, you will be killed by me later." Li Guolou acted like a commander, said a harsh word, and left the scene. He would not care about how to deal with the two female prisoners of war next. .Li Guolou has set the tone for himself. He only cares about military affairs and will not take care of the troubles of his mother-in-law and mother.[
"Yes! Chief Li." Li Yunkai replied loudly. He didn't want this kind of thing. The female prisoner of war was causing trouble to the team, but his men wouldn't let him kill her.
"Get out of my way, let me see!" Fan Dahui raised his voice and ordered the soldiers who were watching the fun to get out of the way, stopped to admire it, and then said with a voice in his nose: "Well, it's not bad. Treat the ladies as trophies and keep them in the car for me."
Fan Dahui's words are golden words. They are not considered prisoners, but trophies. This word game has been played by Chinese people for thousands of years. Officers who understood the meaning gathered around Fan Dahui and competed for the quota of the trophies.
Fan Dahui was not ambiguous at all. He opened the account book and saw various data written densely on it. Let the facts speak for themselves. Which team the spoils will be distributed to is on a first-come, first-served basis. Unless an officer takes the prize, that is another matter.
"One place for Xu Yuguang's team, one place for Deng Tong's team." Fan Dahui closed the ledger and handed over the troublesome matter to the two captains, passing it on level by level. From now on, he would not care about such nonsense. Fan Dahui turned and left. He got on his horse with vigorous movements and went to the front of the team to visit the injured Xu Biao.
Everyone has their own troubles. Xu Yuguang and Deng Tong were surrounded by their subordinates. They also had corps commanders. Which corps should they be assigned to? There was another statement.
In the army, one level is superior to the other, and the hierarchy is strict. Unless the commander calls for a reward, otherwise it will be based on seniority. The older people will take care of them first, and those who are clean and self-sufficient will step aside. The army is like a big dyeing vat. Soldiers kill people, set fires, and loot. If you are good at everything, women cannot avoid the problem. In the past, the army robbed women and used them as camp prostitutes. Now the Qing army rewards the women they plundered and gave them to soldiers as wives, and of course as female slaves.
Li Guolou followed the trend, did not waste resources, and rewarded female prisoners of war to soldiers. He could be sanctimonious, not do such sloppy things, and build Li Ziying into a noble army. But wouldn't it be cheap for other armies and the atmosphere of the entire army? That's it, only by following the trend can we develop and grow. We should base everything on reality, don't be a hypocrite, and be a straightforward and honest villain.
At this time, the Qing army all had the ultimate goal of being loyal to someone. The trend of warlords had become established, and there was also a strong sense of family. Li Guolou also built Li Ziying into an independent system, including adopted sons, relatives, fellow villagers, and domestic slaves.
, disciples, these form the backbone of Li Ziying, and only he can command them. Each army has a regional identity, so that such an army will have cohesion and be willing to go through fire and water for him.
Li Guolou visited the wounded Xu Biao and talked about some trivial matters about his past life, chatting freely like old friends. Li Guolou was very grateful to the people around him. These followers who were willing to stand in his way all voluntarily followed him to the northwest.
.So many people admire him,
I believe that he can bring hope to the Qing Dynasty, and he will make greater efforts for the Qing Dynasty. Rewards, official appointments and making wishes are just small ways. Li Guolou relies on his personal charm to gather people's hearts and build Li Ziying into an iron army.
Soldiers are all suicide squads.
"Sir Li, this minor injury is not a problem. I am not going back to the capital." Xu Biao, who was lying in the carriage, was hit in the chest by lead from a shotgun. The lead has been removed. As long as the wound is not infected, skin trauma is nothing.
He also wanted to stay with Li Guolou and fulfill his duties as a Goshiha.
"Xu Biao, take good care of your injuries. Don't think too much. Let's go back to Beijing together and we will be full of life soon." Li Guolou jumped off the carriage and walked towards the front of the team. There was a knot in his heart and he was a little uneasy.
The explorer came back, bringing with him a man disguised as a farmer. Fang Zhiyong handed a chicken-feather letter to Li Guolou, with a solemn look on his face, and said: "Report! Yang Dawazi has sent someone, very soon."
It's urgent, it's a chicken-feather letter."
Li Guolou's forehead buzzed. He hurriedly tore the letter open and read the letter quickly, his expression changing. Fan Dahui hurriedly took the letter and screamed in horror: "Ah! Gao Liansheng is dead!"
"Convene an emergency meeting. Let Li Yun start it. Li Yunqing, Xu Lan, and Fan Ye come here quickly. Blow the battle bugle and get ready for battle." Li Guo gave the first military order downstairs and walked towards the Qing soldier who delivered the message. Something happened.
Ask more clearly.
Fortunately, he treated the surrender faction Yang Dawazi and Mu San kindly, allowing them to dare to make new contributions to the Qing Dynasty in times of crisis. In addition to seizing two granaries, Yang Dawazi and Mu San also prepared to attack the rebel Lei Heng's troops.
Start a war.
Fan Dahui quickly followed and said urgently: "Sir Li, do you want to inform Battelle, Cheng Kun and the others?"
Li Guolou waved his hand and said: "No, let's seize the time now. The warehouse for storing supplies is the most important thing. Find me the medicine and grain storage point closest to us on the map. We will set off right away."
Fan Dahui bowed to the end and admired Li Guolou's thoughtfulness from the bottom of his heart. As expected, Li Guolou had predicted today's scene and hurriedly turned around to get the secret map hidden in the car.[
"Gao Shouwei was shot to death by a sentry under Lei Heng during lunch the day before yesterday. More than 200 adjutants, Goshiha were poisoned. My eldest brother and third brother have long been wary of Lei Heng, but they also
Li Huitian was held hostage by Lei Heng's troops, so he could only pretend to follow the rebellion. The eldest brother and the third brother took the opportunity to occupy two grain and grass towers and a beacon tower. The eldest brother and the third brother said that in order to show their determination, the day after tomorrow at the latest
In the early morning, they are going to attack Lei Heng's troops. Chief Li, hurry up! Lei Heng is already contacting the returning guerrillas and is still opening warehouses to recruit troops. They can recruit thousands of people in one night, and the people in Yan'an City are following them.
"Rebellion." The Qing army who reported the news knelt down and stated, his eyes were wet. After these surrenderers returned to the Qing Dynasty, they recognized Gao Liansheng as their master. Now that their master is dead, they only want to avenge their master.
"Yang Dawazi, how many troops does Mu San have?" Li Guolou asked.
"Sir, sir, originally the second battalion of cavalry was full, with more than 500 horses, but now 300 horses have been taken away from Lei Heng. Now we have lost our mobility and have no artillery. Lei Heng gave us 1,500 horses.
Hundreds of Habegs open
Si Qiang wants us to recruit our own troops. The eldest brother is fooling Lei Heng. He is recruiting people, but he is not making a move. Now the eldest brother and the third brother dare not enter Yan'an City and guard the granary and beacon tower." Yang Liu spoke very fast, like a cannon.
Talk like a tube.
"Well, I know that Yang Dawazi and Mu San were able to do their best at that time. I will make this matter clear to the court. It is not easy for them to stand firm in times of crisis. Yang Liu, don't worry, we still have
We are going to have a brief military meeting. You need to have something to eat first, and then draw me the location of Lei Heng's headquarters." Li Guolou spoke in a pleasant manner, without showing any impatience. The deal was already done, and he could only find a solution in the crisis.
method.
More than two million kilograms of grain, as well as firearms, artillery, medicine and other military supplies were stored in Yan'an City. It was a transit point for the Qing army to fight. Even the fierce Yang Dawazi and Mu San's troops did not dare to offend Lei Heng.
The men and horses know that the artillery is powerful, and if they attack Yan'an City, they will get back all their money.
Li Yunkai, Li Yunquan, Xu Lan, Fan Ye and others rushed over. They all sat on the grass together, spread out the map and told about the unexpected situation. Li Guolou told Gao Liansheng's troops about the bombing of the camp and issued an order.
An offensive combat order was issued to reach Yan'an City and eliminate the rebellious Lei Heng's troops.
Xu Lan was shocked and said in disbelief: "Sir Li, there are only more than 400 of us, and there are more than 100 elders among us, who want to capture Yan'an City. Not even a team as fierce as Yang Dawazi and Mu San can
If we dare to attack Yan'an City, can more than 400 of us defeat more than a thousand rebels? Now Lei Heng may have tens of thousands of troops."
Li Guolou looked towards Yan'an in the northwest and said in a confident tone: "Xu Lan, your idea is only based on numbers. Does Lei Heng really have more than a thousand troops? The rebels are mainly composed of members of the Ge Laohui, but
Most of the Qing soldiers were
The soldiers who obey military orders and still have conscience in their hearts are the unrest in Lei Heng's army. We must make them change their guns. As for the thousands of newly joined rebels, they are just a mob and cannot even aim their guns. We
A rush
Just disperse. As for Yang Dawazi, Mu San is still waiting and watching. If we don't fight, Lei Heng will control the Yan'an area for a long time, and maybe they will really rebel. Battelle, Cheng Kun's 500 cavalry will also dispatch,
When we fight,
It is a multi-pronged attack. Now is the time for the country to test us. We must have the courage to succeed or succeed, quickly capture the beacon towers along the way, use rapid advances to destroy the will of the rebels, capture Lei Heng alive, and avenge the death of Gao Liansheng.
"
"Capture Lei Heng alive and avenge the dead Gao Liansheng!" Li Yunkai, Li Yunqing, Xu Lan, Fan Ye, and Fan Dahui stood up, pulled out their vine swords, and shouted slogans.
"Capture Lei Heng alive and avenge the dead Gao Liansheng!" After the mobilization order, more than 400 soldiers were filled with high morale and mounted their horses without hesitation. The captain drove the carriage and marched towards Yan'an with whips. They only had one thought in their hearts.
Tuanhuo, raging with rage, wanted Lei Heng's life.
Li Yunkai seized the vanguard officer and led the second team of rangers to dispatch first. The Li Ziying flag fluttered in the wind, and the soldiers of Li Ziying, who regarded death as home, rushed to Yan'an. I have admiration for my adoptive father Li Guolou and must defend it with loyalty and courage.
This military flag, as long as this military flag moves forward, all the soldiers will turn back and rush to the front.
A small river blocked the way, and the bridge had been burned. Li Guolou said without hesitation: "Order the troops to advance across the river, throw down the cannons, and advance with two days of dry food."
More than 400 soldiers unloaded the goods, leaving ten captains to guard the vehicles and artillery. The wounded Xu Biao, Wan Niang and two female prisoners also stayed behind.
Before leaving, Li Guolou said: "Wan Niang, take good care of Xu Biao. If the prisoner escapes, I will kill him."
"Yes! I won't treat them as human beings." Wan Niang was extremely fierce, waving her whip to drive away the two female captives, treating them like beasts, and scolded them: "If you dare to glare at me, I will beat you to death."
"
Li Guolou nodded in approval, turned the horse's head and headed towards the river. Being his woman must be ruthless, and if she can die for him, he will not raise waste.
The rest of the large force waded across the river. Li Ziying had more than 500 horses, some of which were pack horses. The team was moving forward on the vast loess slopes. Sporadic gunfire came from the front. It was the outpost and the returning guerrillas.
It's on fire.
The Huijun guerrillas received good news about the Qing army's rebellion in Yan'an and began to block the Qing army on the vast loess land, hoping to use guerrilla tactics to delay the Qing army's advance.
At this time, Li Ziying's bronze cannons exerted their power. Two bronze cannons were set up. Fan Ye adjusted the angle of the muzzles and used only two cannons to blast the returning guerrillas who were hiding on the mountain ridge and fired into the sky.
Before the smoke cleared, a group of soldiers had already rushed up the mountain ridge, with shining bayonets facing the returning guerrillas. A military flag with the letter "Li" was planted on the top of the mountain. The Qing soldiers passing under the mountain ridge only glanced at the military flag with their eyelids.
, this kind of small victory is an eyesore even if you take another look at it. Li Ziying soldiers need a larger battlefield.
