Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Qiao Fu did nothing else in Shandong these years. Almost 90% of his time was spent on training troops. He usually arranged for soldiers to eliminate local bandits and crack down on pirates. He was constantly fighting in the north and south.  The men and horses who have been trained are no worse than the most elite soldiers in Liaodong. Although Zhang Xianzhong is said to have tens of thousands of men and horses, he doesn't care. Even a thousand men, not to mention three thousand elite soldiers, can defeat Zhang Xianzhong. This is the heroism of the Yizhou soldiers!  "It's one thing to be able to defeat him, but it's another thing to be able to find Zhang Xianzhong.  The biggest characteristic of rogue bandits is that they have no fixed abode and wander around. Although Zhang Xianzhong is staying in Fuyang now, he might run away once he hears the news.  And it doesn¡¯t hurt no matter how many times the bandits are defeated. There are countless refugees anyway, and they can rally a team at any time. As long as the safety of the core dozens or even a dozen people is ensured, they can continue to rise from the ashes.  It is not easy to deal with such an enemy.  Qiao Fu's strategy was to win with speed. He abandoned the large army and prepared 3,000 soldiers with war horses. Each man carried dry food and traveled day and night from Shandong to South Zhili, passed Xuzhou, and went all the way to Fuyang.  After leaving the canal, the place we passed became more and more desolate, with vast tracts of land abandoned.  It is common to encounter naked people begging for food with wooden sticks and broken bowls.  After encountering the officers and soldiers, this group of people seemed to have seen the god of plague. They rolled and crawled, turned around and ran away.  Soldiers are like bandits, bandits are like soldiers, soldiers and bandits are one family.  With such a situation, it is no wonder that rogue bandits are everywhere.  Qiao Fu has no time to care about this.  He has only one purpose, which is to kill Zhang Xianzhong and make Yizhou soldiers famous all over the world.  Since we have to deal with rogue bandits, the first battle must be fought beautifully and everyone must be convinced.  After drinking the water from the skins, he turned around and mounted his horse, and the army continued to move forward for three consecutive days and nights, with only three hours of rest in between.  Even though the soldiers were well-trained, every one of them was exhausted.  Some people are even being left behind.  There were only more than 2,700 people left around Qiao Fu.  It was still thirty miles away from Fuyang. Since there were few people along the way, Qiao Fu calculated that the bandits might not know that the army had arrived, so he chose a place close to mountains and rivers.  Set up camp, let the soldiers take the time to eat some solid food, rest quickly, recover their strength, and face the battle below.  Seeing nightfall, several sentries suddenly ran over. They carried two common people in ragged clothes and arrived in front of Qiao Fu.  "Qizhen Town, we met these two boys. They are sneaky and don't look like good people." When Qiao Fu heard this, he also looked over.  Although these two people were dressed in tatters and had pitch-black faces, they had strong bodies and thick limbs, unlike ordinary people.  "Who are you? Why are you spying on our army?" The leader was slightly taller and raised his head.  After looking at Qiao Fu, he suddenly said: "Excuse me, General. Are you Qiao Fu, the commander-in-chief of Shandong Province, Mr. Qiao?" "You have a good look. Who sent you?" When these two people heard this, they were suddenly overjoyed and knelt down.  Banging his head and kowtowing on the ground.  "Sir, we have been waiting for you!" Seeing their excited expressions, it seemed that they were not faking it. Qiao Fu couldn't help but become confused and asked, "Are you from the Yizhou Army?" "Sir, we are not that lucky.  But Mr. Lu promised us that as long as we can help the Yizhou soldiers eliminate the bandits, we can go home and reunite with our relatives, and we will also be rewarded with land and silver. We are all looking forward to this day! " Qiao Fu suddenly remembered something, when he was leaving!  , Zhang Ke specifically told him that among the rogue bandits, there were many internal agents, and these people could be of great help when necessary.  After some questioning, Qiao Fu finally figured it out.  It turns out that when Zhang Ke was laying off a large number of troops in Xuanda, he secretly conducted an investigation and found some people with decent character and smart enough, so that they could blend into the rogue bandits and become internal agents of the Yizhou soldiers.  Once the two sides fight, they must provide clues to help Yizhou soldiers win the battle.  Success is no accident. The world can only see the Yizhou soldiers looking at them with disdain, and they are invincible.  Zhang Ke had put in too much effort behind the scenes, which was unknown to others. It was precisely with these trump cards that Zhang Ke had enough confidence to succeed immediately.  "Reporting to Mr. Qiao, our brothers were notified three days ago that your army was coming. We have been observing the movements of the rogue Zhang Xianzhong these days." "Is there any news?" "Sir, sir.  Since Zhang Xianzhong came to Fuyang, he has killed corrupt officials and bullies everywhere and opened warehouses to release grain. He has won the hearts of the people. Many people have been deceived by him. He has more than 20,000 troops under his name. " " Qiao Fuman is not around.He smiled and said: "No matter how many sheep there are, they are no match for the tiger. Just tell me where Zhang Xianzhong is, and I will naturally have a way to deal with him." "Yes, please report to Mr. Qiao. The thief went to Funan yesterday to collect grain.  "Based on the time, we will be able to return to Fuyang around noon tomorrow." "Oh, how many people did he bring?" Qiao Fu asked again.  "I brought five thousand people with me when I left. Maybe I can recruit more when I come back, but it shouldn't be a worry." "Okay!" Qiao Fu suddenly waved his fist. God is helping me. If Zhang Xianzhong was hiding in Fuyang, he would still be able to recruit more people.  It's really hard to capture him. Once he leaves the city, it's a dead end. No one can stop him!  He hurriedly asked his staff to take the map and questioned the two people carefully. Both of them knew everything.  When they were in Datong, they were also minor officials and saw how powerful the Yizhou soldiers were in killing the Tatars. ?????????? To them, they didn¡¯t value a bunch of scattered bandits at all, and they treated Qiao Fu like a god.  The night passed in the blink of an eye, and the tired Ming army finally regained their strength. After taking out the dry and hard pancakes, adding a few pieces of dried meat to fill their stomachs, they immediately started to take action.  Bypassing Fuyang City, we came to the southwest road, which is the only way Zhang Xianzhong must pass.  There are green wheat fields on both sides of the road. The people have fled, and the weeds and wheat are as high as a glance.  Looking to both sides, there were several low mountain ridges, among a group of trees, and several buildings, whether they were temples or ancestral halls.  Qiao Fu observed it for a long time and nodded secretly. Although it was not a very good ambush position, it was enough.  He brought 3,000 men and horses, while Qiao Fu only arranged for 1,000 men to be divided into two teams and hide in wheat fields and hills, waiting for an ambush.  As for the other 2,000 troops, they were on guard at the periphery, especially keeping an eye on the direction of Fuyang City, to prevent the rogue reinforcements from coming.  Time passed by, Qiao Fu quickly arranged his troops in formation, and the soldiers prepared nervously.  Near noon, soldiers suddenly came running.  "The bandits have appeared!" Qiao Fu was shocked and hurriedly ordered preparations.  Not long after, a large group of soldiers appeared in the distance. They were far away. It looked like there were at least 8,000 people. In the middle of the group, there were many horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, and many female relatives were crying. The soldiers on both sides stretched out their arms from time to time.  Use your dark claws to take advantage.  The leader was a middle-aged man with a full beard, prominent eyes, and a fierce glare. He was holding a riding whip in his hand, and he was quite proud.  "This time we have obtained 13,000 shi of food, plus the food stored in Fuyang, it is enough for several months. Even if Zhang Ke sends troops, I can fight him to the end. I want to see what the Yizhou soldiers have.  "Awesome." "Commander Shengming, I heard that Zhang Ke's troops have passed Xuzhou and entered Huai'an. It won't be long before they come over and you can show off your skills." "Hahaha, Gao Yingxiang and Chuang Xiazi are both here.  I'm a coward and don't dare to fight head-on, so I won't be afraid. Even if I lose, I'll run away. In a few months, I'll be a hero again!" Zhang Xianzhong was laughing loudly when suddenly birds were flying in the woods in the distance.  , the soldiers were stunned, and some people pulled their horses. At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The sound pierced the sky, and suddenly countless divine fire flying crows flew out from the trees on both sides, dragging their tail flames, and smashed towards Zhang Xianzhong's men.  "Not good!" Zhang Xianzhong didn't care who arranged the troops. He turned around and ran away, guarded by his trusted aides. He didn't run very far when there were continuous explosions behind him, flames shot into the sky, and countless soldiers were drowned in shrapnel and gunpowder smoke.  In the middle, people were lying on their backs, and their parents were screaming. Not to mention how miserable it was.  Even Zhang Xianzhong felt a pain in his shoulder, and when he covered it with his hand, blood started to pour out.  "Commander, what's wrong with you?" "I'm fine, let's go!" His men protected Zhang Xianzhong and wanted to escape, but gunshots rang out from all around, and bullets rained down on these soldiers one after another. The equipment of the bandits was inferior compared to  There is a world of difference between the army and the army. Facing sharp bullets, as long as they are concentrated, they will die.  It looked like wheat was being cut, falling to the ground in pieces.  The people who were brought in by them were reluctant at first. After hearing the gunshots, they were even more frightened and ran around, causing chaos in the team.  "Damn it, kill, kill them all!" Zhang Xianzhong shouted desperately, but he knew in his heart that in the past few years of raising troops, he had never seen such a sharp weapon.  Three words immediately flashed in his mind: Yizhou soldiers!  Zhang Ke, you bastard, aren¡¯t the troops still in Huai¡¯an? Why are you here?    At this time, no one was in the mood to explain Zhang Xianzhong's doubts. They could only hear the gunshots becoming more and more intensive, and soldiers crossed the wheat fields and poured in from all directions.  In an instant, Zhang Xianzhong became a fish in the net, and was about to be caught in the net.  "There is a gap here!" The surprise shouts of his subordinates reminded Zhang Xianzhong. Sure enough, there is a gap of more than 20 feet in the encirclement. Run quickly!  Zhang Xianzhong took the lead, and the people behind him followed closely. As expected, he rushed out of the gap, and the feeling of escaping came to his heart.  Guns and artillery were still rumbling from behind, and I thought those brothers were doomed.  "Sooner or later, you will die, just die!" Zhang Xianzhong felt unbearable pain in his shoulders and turned the horse's head. Before he could run, there was a dry ditch on the opposite side, and dozens of black gunshots could be heard from it.  , with a sudden burst of gunfire, Zhang Xianzhong was drowned in the smoke!  (To be continued)
