Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    With such excellent conditions, and being led by Zhang Lei, who is well known to everyone and has a great reputation, everyone is rushing to sign up. It will be a matter of the future to be promoted to an official position. At least after joining, there is no need to  They loved being hungry and cold.

    Zhang Lei and the others were very busy with their work. Naturally, these soldiers could not have the equipment of three-eyed muskets. They could only be equipped with some swords and guns. They looked no different from Zhang Xianzhong and his team, but this was enough.  Anyway, they are not often used. If someone can perform well in it, then consider incorporating him into his core team for special training.

    The registration scene was so popular that even those who knew how to read in the team were rushed over by Zhang Lei to register the names of these new members.

    Let¡¯s not talk about Zhang Lei for now. Let¡¯s talk about this piece of loyalty. In front of Zhang Lei, he failed again. He had nothing to do about this result. Now he was defeated with less than one-tenth of his remaining troops.

    In two days, Zhang Lei recruited 50,000 troops. He collected almost all the troops here who could still fight.  But these 50,000 horses cannot be brought to the battlefield now, because most of them are farmers. They have probably held kitchen knives and woodchopping knives, but have never held war knives. They must go through a long period of fighting.  Training makes them familiar with the use of weapons and some combat skills, so that they can go to the front line to fight and practice. To become a qualified soldier, it takes several bloody trainings to grow up.  Therefore, Zhang Lei specially left 10,000 troops.  In addition to training new recruits, this 10,000-man army is also responsible for the guarding and armed support of the two nearby prefectures.  The remaining troops followed Zhang Lei and pursued Zhang Xianzhong in the direction of his retreat.  As the saying goes, if you don't remove the root of the grass, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows. Zhang Lei doesn't want to rush over to eliminate them because of their appearance one day soon.

    Because they were delayed for a day, Zhang Lei and the others did not catch up with Zhang Xianzhong and the others quickly, but they also did not lose Zhang Xianzhong and the others. On the third day, they passed through a hilly area.  Zhang Lei immediately became excited when he realized that there were traces of battles here.  Said: "We have followed the traces of a large group of people all the way here, so the party in this fight must be our defeated general Zhang Xianzhong, but we don't know who his other opponent will be, but the enemy of the enemy is ours.  Allies, maybe we should go meet them for a while. Moreover, if we fight, the progress will definitely not be very fast. If we work harder, we should be able to catch up."

    So they speeded up and chased ahead. As expected by Zhang Lei, when they were about to exit the forest through this hilly area, they heard the shouts of killing coming from the front, and there were too many people on the ground.  There was a slight vibration caused by people trampling together, and they were approaching the battlefield.  Just at this time.  Zhang Lei suddenly signaled everyone to stop. Jiang Yuyang said in confusion: "Why did Mr. Zhang give the order to stop? The enemy is right in front of us now. As long as we rush up, we will definitely be able to give this loyalty to  Destroyed."

    "Of course, the first step is to attack. If we can kill Zhang Xianzhong, that would be the best. By then they will be leaderless, and then this group of rebels will be completely eliminated, and we can just arrange for these people to engage in production with peace of mind. But now  The question is who is Zhang Xianzhong¡¯s opponent? We can¡¯t rush forward without even knowing who our allies are, and it will be terrible if the poor exchange of information between us leads to accidental damage. So Lao Qi,  Take ten people to the front to find out who is fighting Zhang Xianzhong, and remember not to alert the enemy."

    What he said made sense. Jiang Yuyang nodded, picked twenty of his men, and went out under the cover of the half-man-high grass. Zhang Lei told everyone to rest where they were. After all, they were tired after marching for such a long time.  Only after a good rest can you have the energy to fight.

    After half an hour, Jiang Yuyang came back with twenty of his men. Zhang Lei, who was sitting on the grass, suddenly stood up and said, "How is it? Do you know who is fighting Zhang Xianzhong?"

    Jiang Yuyang said with a smile: "It's clear, it's clear. It turns out that it's Mr. Lu who parted ways with us back in Songjiang Mansion. We took a boat to march by water, while they came here by land, but we didn't expect that they happened to be there.  Here we met Zhang Xianzhong¡¯s army who was fleeing, so Mr. Lu made a prompt decision and led his troops to fight fiercely with them. The fighting between the two sides has reached a very fierce level, causing casualties and casualties. Mr. Zhang, do we want to go up and help them? "

    "It turns out to be Lu Xiangsheng, very good. I thought it would take some time for them to join us, but I didn't expect that they were already here in just a few days. LookThe speed is indeed not slow. Although Zhang Xianzhong's troops have been severely damaged by us, if we set off now, we can still help Mr. Lu reduce his losses. We are both fighting for the Ming Dynasty to suppress the rebels. Naturally, we are in the same spirit. Lao Qi  , you tell everyone to prepare for battle, Leqiu, you find a way to contact Mr. Lu and ask him to cooperate with me to annihilate Zhang Xianzhong in one fell swoop.  Zhang Lei said calmly.

    Le Qiu responded and prepared to go out, but Jiang Yuyang said: "Master Zhang, let me go with him, so that the two of us can take care of each other."

    Zhang Lei said: "Forget it, you're still injured. Calm down, hurry up and get the team together, don't talk nonsense."

    So Jiang Yuyang could only quietly go to organize the troops. Le Qiu took off his military uniform alone, changed into a set of ordinary clothes, and ran to where Lu Xiangsheng was.

    Le Qiu came out of his hiding place and walked a few steps away to see two groups of troops fighting fiercely at a relatively low ground. Judging from the number of people, Lu Xiangsheng's troops were much larger and were outflanking them.  formation to attack Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

    He carefully moved towards the rear of Lu Xiangsheng's army. Logically speaking, as the main general, he always commanded from the rear.  When we reached the back of the team, we saw the soldiers stretching their necks to look ahead.  He squeezed in secretly.  Actively searching for Lu Xiangsheng's figure.

    "Who are you?" It didn't take a while.  Le Qiu felt a pair of big hands patting his shoulders from behind. As he yelled, all the soldiers next to him turned their heads to look this way, surrounding Le Qiu.

    Le Qiu said with a smile on his face: "Hello, military lords. My name is Jiang Yuyang. I have something to ask to see Mr. Lu Xiangsheng. I have been looking for it for a long time and couldn't find it. You are here just in time. I would like to thank you for taking me to see Mr. Lu.  Endless."

    "Hehe, boy, that's really nice to say. Let me tell you, I've been following you for a long time. Seeing you sneaking in all the time, I must be doing something shady. Maybe you were sent by Zhang Xianzhong.  The spy, I will kill you directly. Then I will take your head and report it directly to Mr. Lu." He held a big knife in his hand, and when he said this, he was about to chop Leqiu's neck.

    If Leqiu was directly chopped down like this, it would really be an unjust death.  He quickly raised his hands and said: "No, no, no, look here. I don't have anything on my hands, right? It won't cause harm to anyone. It's just that my master wants me to come to Mr. Lu to discuss something.  You must be merciful and don't kill me. Everything I say is true and there is absolutely not a word of lies."

    The man stopped his hand and said meaningfully: "Really? According to what you said, if I kill you as a spy, it will really be an injustice to you. Then tell me, your master  Who is it? If you can tell me one, two, three, four, five, I will not kill you."

    "I can't say this, but I guarantee that what I say is true. You, Mr. Lu, also know me. In this case, you bring me to Mr. Lu. If he says he doesn't know me, then you can just bring me to Mr. Lu.  I will chop it off, and I will never frown, what do you think?" Le Qiu said quickly, Zhang Lei and Lu Xiangsheng have been working together for such a long time, and the two soldiers beside Zhang Lei, Le Qiu and  Jiang Yuyang should be impressed.

    "Look at what you're saying. You don't even know who your master is, so you dare to pretend to be someone else to deceive me, right? Believe it or not, I'll chop you up right now?" The man took out the knife again.

    Le Qiu was helpless. He could tell at a glance that this person was the kind of person who had physical strength but no brain power. There was no use saying these words to him, but he couldn't waste Zhang Lei's time and had to complete the task.  He was heartbroken and said: "Let's not talk about other things. Can you escort me directly to Lord Lu like this? Can I still be able to give birth to three heads and six arms to harm Lord Lu?"

    "Well, what you said is quite good. Let's see what other tricks you can come up with in front of me. Come two people, tie him up and bring him to Mr. Lu. As long as Mr. Lu frowns.  , I will chop him right away.¡±

    So two soldiers found a rope and tied him up, then escorted him to Lu Xiangsheng.  Lu Xiangsheng was supervising the battle on the front line at this moment. It's no wonder Jiang Yuyang couldn't find him from behind.

    "Mr. Lu, we caught a spy from behind. He insisted that he was not the spy. Then he said that his master sent you to see you. He refused to say anything when asked."

    Lu Xiangsheng turned around, frowned and said, "Oh? What's going on? Catch him and take a look."

    "Bring it up." The man waved his hand and said.

      Then two soldiers escorted Le Qiu forward. Lu Xiangsheng was a little surprised when he saw Le Qiu and said, "Why are you here? Come on, come on, come on, let him go quickly. You caught him wrong this time."  You're dead. Why don't you explain your identity? This is really a shame."

    It turns out that I really arrested the wrong person. The guy holding the big knife seemed a little embarrassed and left without saying anything.

    Leqiu pulled off the rope on his own and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. This grievance is nothing. This time, Mr. Zhang ordered me to come to Mr. Lu, saying that he had something to discuss."

    "I wonder what Mr. Zhang wants to discuss? Now we just passed by and met Zhang Xianzhong, so we chased him. If Mr. Zhang's matter is not very important, we might as well wait until we finish the fight." Lu Xiangsheng said  .

    Le Qiu said: "Master Zhang is leading people not far away to watch here. He called me here just to tell Master Lu that our two families can work together to eliminate all of this loyalty, so that Master Lu can  To reduce the loss a little, in order to avoid any misunderstanding, you asked me to come over and talk about it.¡±

    "So that's it, how come Mr. Zhang is here?" Lu Xiangsheng asked. Although this place is not very far from Chao County, it is still dozens of miles away.

    Le Qiu said: "We fought him directly on Chao Lake, and then drove him to the shore. We fought for a day and a night, but they still couldn't defeat us and ran away. Master Zhang did not lead his troops to pursue him at that time.  , but distributed all the food transported to the people on the dock, and at the same time recruited 50,000 soldiers and horses. After some time delay, they chased here. Unexpectedly, they found signs of fighting here, so they asked Seventh Brother  I brought someone to see me and found out it was you, Mr. Lu. Mr. Zhang decided to send troops on the spot. In order not to cause misunderstanding, he asked me to come over first."

    "So that's it, then I understand. You go back and talk to Mr. Zhang and say that I understand and will instruct the people below. When the time comes, Mr. Zhang will just come and fight." Lu Xiangsheng said.

    Le Qiu said: "That's it. I have completed the task now and will go back soon. I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

    "Don't worry, we haven't cooperated once or twice. There will be no problem. You have to be careful when you go back." Lu Xiangsheng said.

    Then Le Qiu said goodbye to Lu Xiangsheng and came back immediately. After meeting Zhang Lei, he told about the meeting with Lu Xiangsheng. After hearing this, Zhang Lei said: "Okay, that's it. Now Lao Qi is ready."  , then let¡¯s set off, the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for Mr. Lu.¡±

    So he took the pistol in his hand, looked at his soldiers behind him, and said, "Okay, let's go, and try to eliminate all Zhang Xianzhong this time."

    All the soldiers stood up and rushed outside with Zhang Lei. Their current position was higher than the battlefield, so the entire team rushed in the direction of Zhang Xianzhong in a swooping posture.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
