The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 126 Head-to-head confrontation
Zhou Peigong and other soldiers set up camp and sent out a large number of scouts to investigate. They must find the old lair of the Black Tiger Army before tomorrow. If they can't find it, they can only destroy the water village of the bandits, and then send troops to Jinzhai County to cut off the bandits first. arm again.

Anyway, now that our own side has taken the initiative, we can fight whatever we want, Zhou Peigong thought of this, and hurriedly reported the victory to the saint. Now what he fears most is not the Black Tiger Army, but the emperor and the ministers of the Qing Dynasty. With tens of thousands of military power, he had to be more cautious at the critical moment of the San Francisco rebellion.

Sometimes, I even thought to myself, how could it be so troublesome to kill a bandit?Could it be that he is also an incompetent person?
In the middle of the night, some of the scouts came back and brought back the news of the bandit army: in the surrounding mountains, they found a fort built by the bandit army. It was about [-] miles away from here, and it was very likely that it belonged to the Black Tiger Army. lair.

Zhou Peigong contacted the above and got the news. He was overjoyed. At least the water village of the Black Tiger Army was at the other end of the fort. It would be clear at a glance that the water and land would attack tomorrow morning. Thinking of this, he finally felt relieved and fell asleep after a while.

………………

In the base, the lights were brightly lit, and everyone became nervous. After all, if the Qing army breached the base, no one present would have a good end. Under the arrangement of the regulations, as long as they were not soldiers of the Black Tiger Army, all young and old would gather together, or Build fortifications, or move lumber and rocks, or...

Except for the guards, all the soldiers of the Black Tiger Army fell asleep on time as usual. After all, the bloody battle had just begun, and it would be impossible without energy.

Most of the craftsmen of Shenjiangying and more than a thousand boatmen also stopped their work and rushed to make 1.2 javelins overnight. These javelins are [-] meters long, and the poles are made of hardwood.

These are all Jiang Tao's arrangements. He clearly knows that in the first battle, he must not shrink back, and he must win a big victory over the opponent, at least let the opponent bleed partly, and frustrate the opponent's spirit. He has already considered the key points.

The only thing he was worried about was the top of the base. Although the base was surrounded by mountains, there were no soldiers guarding the top. There are many birds and animals in the mountains, and there are springs, which can last at least three months.

Moreover, the mountains are steep and there are no roads at all. 500 men guard the main roads everywhere, and even 3000 men cannot attack them.

Jiang Tao arranged these things, and in order to prevent the Qing army from sneaking in, he slept directly in the attic of the fortress.

...................
It was dawn, and it was New Year's Eve, but the black tiger army and Zhou Peigong's green battalion were not happy at all, but murderous, and God seemed to know that people would die later, it was gloomy, and people couldn't help feeling bored.

Zhou Peigong was in a good mood watching the majestic fleet rampage on the Shihe River, and laughed loudly to the generals: "Immediately set up camp, we will celebrate the New Year on the territory of the Black Tiger Army today."

"Zha!" All the soldiers were overjoyed. If they won, they would not only gain fame and fortune, but also plunder the treasures gathered by bandits at will. Why not do it?
Zhou Peigong suddenly became serious and unusual: "The former army has Liu Yuxing as the main general, leading five hundred elite soldiers. If you encounter a large group of bandits, you will not be able to fight fiercely. Come and report to the general."

"Zha!" Liu Yuxing hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, but he felt unspeakably uncomfortable. The dark guards of the Black Tiger Army were going to fight the Black Tiger Army, and his wife and children might be in the mountains. What should he do? where?

Because of his outstanding martial arts skills, good knowledge of battle formations, and being the personal soldier of the imperial envoy, he was promoted as a matter of course and became the chief general of the personal soldiers.

The striker is very important. Zhou Peigong thought of him first, and then said softly: "800 people will be the rear team, and they will protect the food and grass. I will take [-] by myself and set off immediately."

Zhou Peigong looked at the elites he had trained meticulously, and felt indescribably happy. He thought rather complacently: "If they confront each other head-on, the bandit army will definitely not be able to defeat them."

................
When the Black Tiger Army got up early in the morning, Jiang Tao asked the sturdy guards and the Black Tiger Guards to train the battle formation he had thought up yesterday. Queue training, training is effortless.

After half an hour, everyone drank a bowl of meat porridge and a steamed bun, and rested for another half an hour. Then, under the leadership of Jiang Tao, they went out of the base for a mile to wait for the Qing army.

At this time, apart from the Black Tiger Guards, Biaohan Guards, and Sharp Spear Guards, all the soldiers from the One Thousand Recruits Battalion were dispatched at this time.

The two hundred knife shields were in the front row holding huge shields, while the eight hundred elites of the Black Tiger Guards and the Sturdy Guards were divided into four teams, with 200 people in each team behind them. Mountain pattern armor, the recruits do not have this treatment, but they all wear black military uniforms uniformly.

This is the main formation. There are 200 people on the left and right sides of the main formation. Among them, there are 100 swordsmen and spearmen holding round iron shields. The swordsmen are in front and the spearmen are behind. Sharpshooter guards and archers, sharpshooter guards on the right and archers on the left, 100 each.

The remaining hundreds of people guard Jiang Tao as the Chinese army.

The entire formation is in the shape of an oval, and the Chinese army is behind the formation.

Jiang Tao rehearsed for a while before he felt relieved. He let his men relax.

He clearly knew that fighting depends on blood and courage, so he hurriedly raised the sixty-pound sword in his hand, and said loudly: "Behind us are the folks, we can't be defeated, including this general, we must fight!" Fight to the death, but brothers, don’t be afraid, Kangxi children’s iron cavalry are vulnerable, not to mention these green battalion soldiers, we can’t be polite, come and kill one by one, isn’t that the reason?”

"Kill, kill, kill."

.......
Half an hour later, Liu Yuxing received the report from the scouts, so he did not dare to be careless, so he stationed five miles away from the Black Tiger Army Fortress, and urgently reported to Zhou Peigong.

When Zhou Peigong heard the news, he couldn't believe it. The bandit army dared to go out of the city to form an array. Are you tired of work?
No, there must be fraud!
Zhou Peigong suddenly became nervous, and ordered his subordinates to approach slowly, forming an array one mile away from the bandit army.

He didn't see it clearly, and he made his subordinates approach slowly, and didn't stop until 300 meters away. He looked away intently, and saw that the bandits were all staring at each other. They were all quiet and terrifying, and the formation he had never heard of before. Among them are various types of troops, but there are only more than [-] people, just enough to protect the city.

Zhou Peigong couldn't figure it out, there was no ambush around, why did the rebel army go out of the city to form an array?Do you want to have a fair fight with yourself?Is the leader of the thief army so confident?
He hesitated.

Seeing that the enemy was always watching, Jiang Tao became anxious and roared like thunder: "The cowards on the opposite side, Kangxi children let you die, be afraid, beat the drum!"

How dare you insult the emperor again!

Zhou Peigong was furious all of a sudden, but he calmed down again in an instant, he wanted to see what tricks the bandits were playing.

Seeing that the Qing army still ignored him, Jiang Tao shouted again: "Kangxi's child is full of pockmarks, he will die without a place to bury him, Zhou Peigong is a Chinese traitor, he loves to lick the stinky feet of the barbarians, it's sad, deplorable, hateful! "

The army also shouted.

Zhou Peigong was well-informed, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

Before the Qing army could react, Jiang Tao gave an order, slowly step forward a hundred steps!

The black tiger army moved, and the formation was no longer so neat. Seeing this, Zhou Peigong shouted coldly: "The whole army is rushing forward, and the meritorious deeds are now!"

But he thought in his heart: "It seems that I have a high opinion of the thief army. Since God is helping me, if I don't do it again, I am too careful!"

After all, in a frontal fight, the advantages of both sides are not obvious, and every death of the bandit army means one less, and my own reinforcements will arrive soon, so why should I be afraid of a war of attrition?

Zhou Peigong felt relieved, and the Black Tiger Army was no different.

At this moment, the Black Tiger Army stopped and rearranged their formation.

Jiang Tao stared coldly at the Qing army that was rushing towards them, feeling neither happy nor sad. In the face of bloody killings, there is no right or wrong. Presumably the main general of the opponent is Zhou Peigong. I hope this battle can capture and kill this man. It is definitely due to this person that the Black Tiger Army was forced to such a fate.

PS: In order to lose weight, I worked hard for half a day, carrying about [-] catties of bricks and sundries in bags from the fourth floor to the first floor. As a result, the butcher collapsed from exhaustion. Today is only one chapter, and I will make up for it later. !
