    The battle on the banks of the Chushui River was still going on. In front of the main formation of Qing infantry three miles away on the north bank, a thousand infantry of the Fat Man Army and more than 700 soldiers of the Qing army, who were responsible for the containment task, were surrounded by Qing infantry regiments ten times larger than themselves.  Covered by fortifications, there is no favorable terrain to defend, let alone the cover of muskets and bows. It is completely shielded with flesh and blood, and stubbornly resists the impact of the Qing army infantry wave after wave;  The enemy launched counter-charge after charge.

    Almost every soldier of the Fat Army was covered in blood, and the two major generals of the Fat Army, Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong, looked as if they had just been fished out of the blood.  The lumpy flesh on the arm was still as if it had been made of cast iron, and he swung a Japanese knife and broad axe to chop it out one by one. He could still chop off the heads of Qing soldiers and split the chests of Qing soldiers like cutting apples.  Less than an hour after the battle, more than 30 soldiers of the Qing army were killed by the spring ax in the alley. Fatty Lu's nephew, An Jiarong, who was known for his bravery, had already killed more than 50 enemies.  His whole body was dyed red and white, and he was as fierce and terrifying as a Shura ghost, so that wherever the two generals passed by, the Qing soldiers didn't have the guts to stop the fight, but ran away crying like a rabbit, letting the two generals pass by.  The second general ran amok among thousands of troops, as if he had entered the land of no one.

    The ferocity of the Fatty Army not only broke the courage of the soldiers of the Qing Army, but also greatly exceeded the expectations of the generals of the Qing Army headed by Jie Shu.  If it is a large formation, then this team must be the ace army under Fatty Lu. It can fight tough battles and basically specializes in tough battles, so Jie Shu and others have long been prepared for a hard fight to the death.  It¡¯s just that what Jie Shu and the others didn¡¯t expect was that this fat army would be so tough. After being surrounded by the Qing army, not only did it not show its defeat, but it killed the large and powerful Qing army brigade  It was difficult to parry in the defeat, and the 20,000 Qing army infantry brigade was pinned down, making it impossible for the Qing army infantry to spare their hands to reinforce the ferry battlefield, blocking the northward road of the main force of the fat army.

    "Damn it, why is this team of Wu dogs so difficult to deal with? We didn't seem to encounter such a tenacious and fierce Wu dog when we fought Taiping Mansion last time?" Jie Shu cursed.

    "My lord, please rest assured that although this team of Wu dogs is fierce, they are only a single army and cannot last long," said Wang Zhiding, the traitor Zhenghong Banner, Jie Shu's right-hand man, and the mite Qing Zhenhai general who refused to surrender after being captured alive by Xia Guoxiang in history.  Suggested: "The lord can send more archers to shoot and cover, forcing this team of Wu dogs to charge continuously, consuming their physical strength. After a long time, there is hope for annihilating this team of Wu dogs."

    "Then why don't you arrange it?" Jie Shu gave Wang Zhiding a glance and shouted, "Hurry up, the pontoon bridge on Wugou's side is about to be built, and before the main force of Wugou crosses the river, I must eat this Wugou team."  Dog alone!"

    Wang Zhiding bowed and agreed, and quickly arranged for two thousand archers to be divided into two teams, surrounded by the unstoppable Fatty Army in the chaotic army, and shot arrows together to cover the Fatty Army.  After the tactics, in order to prevent the team from being completely passively beaten, Generals Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong could only lead their troops to attack the Qing army's archers with all their strength.  The charging distance of the Fatty Army's trapped formation greatly consumed the physical strength of the Fatty Army's soldiers. The fairly capable generals of the Luzhou Qing Army also took the opportunity to adjust their troops, chased and intercepted the Fatty Army with all their strength, and constantly drove the soldiers to intercept the Fatty Army's path to protect the archers.  Unknowingly, he fell into a bitter struggle of exhausting power that was constantly forced to charge.

    The embarrassing main battlefield finally had some improvement. After heaved a sigh of relief, Jie Shu quickly focused his attention on the ferry battlefield.  The performance was even more embarrassing than the infantry of the Qing army on the main battlefield. The two cavalry led by Jueluo Barkan and Zhu Lachan were afraid of the rocket formation of the fat army on the other side of the Chushui River, and they did not dare to encircle the fat army at all.  The guards at the ferry just kept charging towards the fat man's army.

    In this way, when the charging momentum of the Qing army cavalry was blocked by the fat army's carbine-rejecting guns and wooden stakes and other temporary fortifications, the cavalry's charge was completely lost, and they could only be honestly separated from the fat army.  The fortifications were cut and stabbed, using their own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, and fell into a bitter battle. The fat man's army engineers rushed to repair the pontoon bridges. The four pontoon bridges were more than half completed.  Formed in rows, connected to form a bridge, ready to meet the main force of the fat man army who is eager to fight across the river to attack.

    "Order Balkan and Zhu Lachan to break through the interception of Wugou infantry and destroy the Wugou pontoon bridge within half an hour!" Jieshu shouted and ordered, "If not, military law will be followed!"

    "Hoo¡ª¡ª!" The orderly had just been dispatched, and the fat man's infantry team, which was already stretched to the left and right, suddenly passed.However, the necessary sacrifice of our army is still very worthwhile.  "

    "Mr. Yao understands this best. I wanted to argue with you, but it seems unnecessary." Fatty Lu, who knew he was wrong, smiled brazenly, nodded at Yao Qisheng with great satisfaction, and turned to  The generals of the Fatty Army smiled and said: "In any case, we have won the battle today, and it also proves that our army's long-range artillery reinforcement tactics on the battlefield are indeed effective and have gained a lot. General Hu Tongchun and General An Jiarong also  You played well, you played with the prestige and ambition of our army, and it deserves a big reward."

    "Thank you, General, for your compliment." Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong, whose heads were both wrapped in gauze, hurriedly thanked them happily, knowing that the Fatty Army has always been the most rewarding for military merits, and this time we can make a small fortune again.  At the end, An Jiarong suggested again: "Uncle, you'd better ask my father to bring the soldiers here quickly. Of my 800 soldiers, now there are only more than 500 left."

    "Don't worry, your father has a more important mission in Zhanyi, so he can't come for the time being." Fatty Lu shook his head, and said, "Since you have lost a lot of soldiers, let's go to our infantry.  Choose warriors at will to supplement, wrap white cloth and hold Japanese swords like you, let them melt into one with you, and then tell them that if they can receive the most rigorous training like you, and be brave and fearless in fighting and killing enemies, then they are worthy of you  Also receive three times the military pay, otherwise go back and continue to be an infantry."

    "Thank you uncle, my nephew will go to pick them tomorrow." An Jiarong happily agreed, "Please rest assured, uncle, no matter if they are Yi people or not, as long as they join our Yi people, my nephew will definitely bring them to the same level as Lao Yi  As brave and fearless as soldiers.¡±

    "Very good, I believe you can." Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, and praised this cheap and powerful nephew, and then Fatty Lu made a final decision: "It's decided. Since Jie Shumangou still has vitality, our army will not  Withdraw the troops, and send troops to attack Mangou's Liutangshan camp tomorrow, and we must completely scare Jieshu Mangou, so that he dare not even dream of the land in the south of the Yangtze River!"
