PS: Thanks to "Tianyuanmuge" and "no electricity and no network" for the monthly tickets.

August fifteenth, noon.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is here, and Liu Fang follows the "public opinion" and adds meals to his subordinates, one liang of wine and two liang of meat for each person.

Liu Fang is not short of meat, horse meat!

It was the injured and dead horse left by the Qing cavalry before. The good horse was taken to Xuyi by Chi Erhan.

Liu Fang treated these meat as treasures, and asked the women to string them up piece by piece and find vents to dry. Usually, even he himself was reluctant to eat them, so he used them to reward the successful "soldiers" trained in the "big school ground".

Not to mention, the men who are hung by flesh are punishing themselves to death, and they are sweating a lot.

Like today, sprinkling meat on a large scale is unprecedented.

But just inside and outside the town, when thousands of people were preparing to celebrate the festival, sentry came to report urgently that a large number of enemy troops had reached about thirty miles outside the town and would arrive at the town soon.

If you want to say, if Liu Fang has such military talent, will he send a scout to warn him?

Of course not, at least, Liu Fang has not yet realized this way so far.

Fortunately, Chi Erhan left him with more than ten people, which led to Liu Fang's "big school field" training.

It was these ten Northern Expedition soldiers who supported a framework for Liu Fang's troops, but unfortunately there was not enough manpower and time.

When Liu Fang heard this, he shouted at the "generals" who were gathered by his side and were about to drink and celebrate the festival, "Brothers, the military achievements that he had been waiting for day and night are here!"

Listen, at this critical moment, Old Liu was still breathing heavily, and he had no idea what kind of battle he would face.

Where did Keldu come from?

Xuyi is fighting fiercely to the west, Hengyang is Hongze Lake to the north, and Yangzhou Prefecture to the east.

Ledu, the road he came from was actually Rocodou led Doni to walk this road, bypassing Duliangshan, and it is also the only official road leading to Hengyang Town at Fengyang Prefecture.

....

This battle came in a bad time.

It made everyone have to put down the bowl in their hands and start gathering.

It can be said that everyone is depressed, which may be a kind of morale, the spirit of being taken away by someone.

But this assembly caused chaos.

Nearly nine thousand people are not considered women with family members.

Let me put it this way, if there were no more than ten people left by Chi Erhan, the gathering would probably not end until dark.

Fortunately, the more than 3,000 people in the throne were only 600 cavalry, and the other 3,000 new troops were infantry, which affected the overall speed. Otherwise, the distance of 30 miles would not be possible to give Liu Fang the time to assemble the troops.

After a whole incense stick, Liu Fang finally managed to pull out a team of about two thousand people with the help of ten Northern Expedition soldiers.

Liu Fang knew that he could not wait, so he left the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army to continue to assemble troops. He led these two thousand people out of the town to fight the invading enemy troops.

....

At the beginning, this battle almost replayed the dilemma that Rocodo encountered that day, just like the same.

Although Liu Fang was a rough man, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army left by Chi Erhan were not.

Hengyang Town will not be attacked by large-scale enemy attacks on three sides, because Hongze Lake is to the north, so it is difficult for the enemy's large troops to cross the 800-mile lake to attack a small town in Hengyang.

On the east side, Chi Erhan's troops were fighting fiercely with the enemy. The enemy could not attack Hengyang Town in large numbers before defeating the Northern Expedition Army. There was no need for that.

Yangzhou Prefecture to the east is now under the rule of the General's Office. With the defense of the Northern Expedition Army, it is impossible for a large number of enemies to attack.

Therefore, these soldiers gave Liu Fang advice and guarding the only passage outside the west side of the town can ensure the safety of Hengyang Town.

Liu Fang is still "good at accepting advice", and the small hills outside the town are his military achievements and pride.

So, the gunpowder from the Liu family's fireworks warehouse was poured out and a large number of traps and mines were rebuilt on the official road beside the hill outside the town.

At this time, it can indeed be called a landmine. With the guidance of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army, there are standards for loading, the wiring is also standardized, the intervals are buried, and the scope is also rules.

In this regard, the ambush at this time is more lethal than what Rocodo encountered on that day.

Of course, Ledu and his army didn't know about these things.

The cavalry was in front, gathering the scouts and pioneers together, and the three thousand new troops marched like traveling around the mountains and rivers.

Originally, in their hearts, this was an errand that was not difficult.

Who would have thought that a mere town that had been slaughtered would gather a "powerful" armed force in a short period of time?

When half of the six hundred cavalrymen entered the ambush, Lao Liu, who had been anxious, excitedly issued an offensive order.

And it's a general attack.

It's too early, it's really too early.

If the cavalry vanguard is about to launch before the ambush, the effect will be more than twice as good.

At least, this cavalry can be severely damaged, so in the subsequent battle, there will be no need to worry about the cavalry raiding on the flanks, and the difficulties will be much smaller.

Unfortunately, Lao Liu was already anxious at this time. He wanted to recreate the glory of the day in front of his subordinates.

At his command, the pre-buried earth thunder was detonated. For a moment, the explosion sounded in the entire official road, and fire and dust filled the entire sky above the battlefield.

At this time, almost everyone on the mountain became excited. They believed that such an explosion would have all the enemies lying down.

So, Old Liu waved his hand and said, "Kill the Tartars", which was so much like a long tone that day.

There were two thousand people, one counted the other, and rushed down the mountain with a shout of "Kill the Tartars".

This momentum is indeed powerful, all over the mountains and fields.

But when they rushed to the hillside, the dust stirred by the explosion gradually dissipated, and the situation on the battlefield began to be vaguely visible.

In fact, less than half of the 600 enemy cavalry were killed and injured by the bomb. At least more than 300 cavalry were dispersed towards the paddy fields next to them.

The three thousand enemy infantry behind them did not affect them at all, and at most, they were just shocked.

These rigorously trained new troops began to form a volley formation and raised their guns to shoot at the people rushing down the mountainside.

It was too late to say it, then it was soon.

With rounds of volleys, the rebels on the mountainside were constantly hit by arrows, stones, and projectiles, falling down one by one, rolling down.

Everyone was thinking about escaping and hiding, but their steps were out of control. The inertia and panic of rushing down made them unable to stop for a while. In this way, everyone became the target of the Qing army musketeers on this bare mountainside.

At this time, Liu Fang made the right choice and retreat!

It is difficult to make this decision, especially with a mind like Liu Fang.

But Liu Fang had previous experience in the battlefield, and the five hundred young and strong ways of dying in Hengyang that he followed him made him unforgettable.

If you can't beat it, you have to run away!

But even if Liu Fang retreated quickly, two thousand people lost nearly eight hundred people in just a short moment.
Chapter completed!
