The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 58 Hardships
After a night of nothing to say, Jiang Tao returned to the county with all his troops at five o'clock. It was already noon when he was ten miles away from the Shangcheng county. At this time, Huang Tianfeng was so shocked that he almost fainted, obviously knowing that he had been tricked by the bandits.

At this time, he had already approached the county seat, set up camp five miles below the city, and was building ladders and other siege objects. He originally wanted to take advantage of the bandit army's attack on Gushi County, take down Shangcheng County in a very short time, and then fight with Gushi The soldiers in Shi County flanked the main force of the bandit army on both sides, but now they themselves were flanked by the bandit army.

He calmed down, knowing that his subordinates were exhausted, he said in his heart anxiously: "I can't mess up, now the bandit army is strong, I can only guard the camp and wait for reinforcements."

In fact, he also thought about withdrawing his troops, but his soldiers couldn't outrun the fresh troops in the city at all, and as long as they withdrew, they might be defeated like a mountain, so he couldn't take this risk.

He calculated in his mind that the reinforcements would arrive in three days at the latest, and then he would make these bandits look good.

Huang Tianfeng also ordered Huang Tianba to command all the cavalry in the army, a total of more than 260 cavalry, to be on standby at any time. This time, he set up camp outside Chuanyu Village outside the west gate of the county seat. He also ordered all the generals to guard all the gates of the camp. The three tiger squatting cannons had already been filled with gunpowder to wait for the bandits.

He was relieved that there was no need to worry about food and grass for a short time, and even if there were three thousand bandits, they would not even think about breaking through the iron barrel-like camp.

Jiang Tao was surprised after hearing Jiang Xin's report. He didn't expect the Qing army to be so cautious. If he forcibly attacked the green battalion camp, he would suffer heavy casualties, and the outcome was unpredictable. This is a difficult situation.

Last night, Jiang Wuhui and others led fifty cavalrymen to kill the Green Camp soldiers in Gushi County and flee, beheading 127 of them, and taking three prisoners. The others fled, but no one was injured or injured. Jiang Tao was overjoyed and fulfilled the promised reward on the spot , The whole army was envious when they saw it, everyone came to ask for a fight, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

Luo Qian and other generals were forced to be helpless, they rushed forward and said: "General, why stop, it's better to kill in one go."

Hearing this, Jiang Tao scolded angrily: "The green battalion soldiers guard the gate of the village, how do they kill? Do they use the lives of their brothers to fill it? War is an art, and it is to kill the enemy with the least cost, not to show off the bravery of ordinary men."

Hearing this, Luo Qian shrank his neck, his complexion a little ugly.

Jiang Tao burst out laughing hurriedly, patted Luo Qian on the shoulder and said, "Commander Luo, don't worry about this general's temper. Let's see, the Green Battalion soldiers are setting up their camps outside Silver Carp Village right now, with their backs against the village. , there is a river to the west, do you have any clever ideas?"

Only then did Luo Qian regain his normal expression, and said sternly, "Let's go directly to the door to challenge and scold the emperor and old man, presumably the officers and soldiers will fight."

"Well said, do you have any other opinions?" Jiang Tao nodded encouragingly, and asked everyone with a smile on his face.

Suddenly thinking of the benefits of cavalry group operations, he hurriedly ordered: "Let Jiang Shi bring all the cavalry to join the general, and temporarily form a tiger and leopard cavalry with [-] people. Jiang Shi will be the commander, and Jiang Xin will be the deputy commander."

The orderly left immediately.

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, all lost their minds, Jiang Tao sighed, staring at Wei Donglai, Wei Donglai was embarrassed to be depressed, cleared his throat, and said modestly: "Students don't have any clever ideas, but Have an idea, don't know if it will work?"

"Oh, come quickly." Jiang Tao said in surprise, and the rest of the generals also stared at Wei Donglai intently.

After Wei Dong finished speaking, Jiang Tao nodded, and ordered: "The military division will go to make preparations immediately, and the rest of the soldiers will immediately bury their pots and make food. After that, we will take a rest in Zhao Village, five miles away from Chuanyu Village. Today we will settle the game." Universe."

Then he continued: "Ling uncle and Hu Yidao guard the gate of the city, Wang Dashan led his subordinates to join the general immediately, Jiang Wudao led his subordinates to lie in ambush here, don't let anyone go."

"Obey!" Jiang Wudao hurriedly took the order and left, he only hoped that everyone would not beat him too hard and leave some leftovers for himself, otherwise the soldiers under him would make a fuss again.

But at this time, Jiang Dazhuang took his two righteous brothers across the mountains and ridges, but encountered troubles, and saw forty bandits blocking the road.

When a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, his tears are in tears, but when a bandit meets a bandit, it is hard to say.

The leader rolled his bull's eyes and shouted sharply: "Fatty, if you want to live, leave money for your life."

Jiang Dazhuang stopped the two furious righteous brothers, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Which hero is it, do you know the prestige of my Black Tiger Village?"

At this time, it was already in Anhui, and the leader was stunned. He had heard that the Heihuzhai had been established for decades. Logically, as long as the other party was a bandit, he should treat him with courtesy, but according to the eyeliner at the foot of the mountain, this The three of them have a lot of money on them. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. They did it without anyone noticing. Thinking of this, he didn't talk nonsense, and said coldly: "Kill..."

Before he finished speaking, he was shot in the neck by Jiang Dazhuang with an arrow, and laughed loudly: "Who else wants to die?"

"The master, the master!" The rest of the people shouted loudly, seeing that their master had died long ago, they all rushed forward with their swords out.

"Revenge for the head of the family! For... ah!"

Ah, ah, ah...

Jiang Dazhuang and his two righteous brothers drew their bows and shot arrows while retreating, killing 13 people in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the remaining bandits were all terrified, and they didn't dare to fight anymore, so they ran away.

But those who ran at the front were all shot to death. All the bandits couldn't advance or retreat. They felt that they had run into a ghost. The shrewd ones had already dropped their weapons and fell to the ground.

"The descendants will not be killed!" Jiang Dazhuang shouted in a deep voice, but he was a little depressed in his heart. Ever since he was under the secret order of the young master, he went to Hangzhou to form a branch of the Black Tiger Village. Only now did he know the difficulty. Killing the inspectors, fighting all kinds of green forest heroes, killing 200 people, and then reached Lu'an. At this time, the arrows were almost exhausted, and he was really tired. I don't know how long it will take to reach Hangzhou.

Thinking of this, he already had calculations in his heart, and said coldly: "Which kind of heroes are you all, why are you against my Heihuzhai, and you want to die?"

Among the bandits, the brave one died long ago, and the rest did not dare to move. They all looked at one person, and saw that the person was not tall, but he gave off a powerful feeling.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the man was filled with anger. He originally wanted to wait for the three brats to approach and attack him suddenly. After that, he would be able to inherit the position of the head of the family, but now it's a bit difficult, and he cursed secretly in his heart. In one sentence, he said with a helpless smile: "The good man spares his life. The big boss has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai. If he provokes the hero, he really deserves to die. The villain is just the third boss of the cottage, and he has absolutely no intention of murdering the hero. The three heroes can stay here at the foot of the mountain." , the villain is going to get a big gift and dedicate it to the three heroes."

PS: I'm late today, do you have any support?Against Kangxi, I am a little bold.
