Quancheng Jinan, a famous city in northern China. At this time, the sound of cannons rumbling on the top of the city. Hu Haoran, who was in charge of the logistics department in charge of observation, sighed unconsciously.

Qian Qing glared at the person, "Don't be so impatient. There is a lot of gunpowder in the city."

Hu Haoran immediately expressed his regret, "Sister, we can't fight into the city now."

Qian Qing really didn't dare to let this person think about it any more, "Okay, I just don't want you to attract other people's attention. We all know this!"

Like the Qing army, the Han army was a highly firearmed army, even more firearmed than the Qing army. Huo Chong has prepared quite well in gunpowder and firearms in recent years, so that the Han army has recently carried out a large number of live ammunition firing.

That's why Hu Haoran, who was in charge of logistics, felt so heartbroken. It was not that he felt heartbroken by the Qing army in Jinan City, but that he felt heartbroken by the fact that he would plummet with these bombardments just for courage.

Just as he was about to say a few more words, the people from the Investigation Company had already come and handed over a document to Qian Qing. Hu Haoran couldn't help but want to come over to see it, Qian Qing's face sank, "Discipline, discipline!"

If you shouldn't know, don't inquire. If you should hear it, you have to try to remember it. This is one of the disciplines that are constantly emphasized in the Han army. Although Hu Haoran was full of curiosity, he was stared at by Qian Qing, so he could only stop and try.

Qian Qing no longer observed the enemy situation and went back to the command center. Everyone in the command center also learned the news, and many people were at a loss. After all, there were 4,000 people, and they came from the back. It was strange that they might be attacked, so it was strange that they were not worried.

"They moved so quickly. Interesting." Qian Qing was relaxed.

"Commander Qian, Xie Cilu is smart." Lei Hu was also a little nervous.

"It's no clever. If Xie Cilu is not in a hurry and continues to move south, we will be passive. Sun Tzu's Art of War is quite right. Those who can make the enemy come from their own will benefit; those who can make the enemy not come from their own will harm them."

Huo Chong's subordinates are proficient in using ancient Chinese at this stage, except Qian Qing, but Lei Hu. After hearing this, he was shocked. Looking at the confused expressions of other commanders, Lei Hu was about to ask, but Qian Qing continued to say: "We have already prepared for the fight. Xie Cilu actually ran hundreds of miles to be beaten. How much trouble have we saved. That passage just now was talking about this."

Lei Hu liked Qian Qing very much, and after hearing this, he even felt a little awe-inspiring. Whether he could beat Xie Cilu's 4,000 Qing troops was another matter. Qian Qing clearly described the impact of Xie Cilu's advance on the Han army, which was amazing.

Xie Cilu never expected that Huo Chong's subordinates attacked Jinan as a feint, and he did not expect that the opponent's target was the 4,000 Qing troops he led. Xie Cilu even believed that Huo Chong himself personally led his bandits to attack Jinan, and he was very excited about the next battle.

Jinan City is not so easy to conquer. Xie Cilu, who likes to read, believes that Huo Chong has fallen into the desperate situation of "there is a strong city in front and a pursuer behind" often described in history books. If Xie Cilu uses the method of sending troops to quickly kill Huo Chong, he can easily annihilate this bandit army. Then he pursues it endlessly and completely kills the bandit army that has disrupted Shandong for several months.

The previous agreement with Li Shude, the article I saw from Yongzheng was no longer the basis for Xie Cilu's consideration. General Xie believed that he had already gained all the advantages and all he needed was to advance and hold the victory in his hand.

Since the marching speed was accelerated, raising fires and cooking would delay time greatly. Fortunately, there was an official road, and the troops of General Xie Cilu began to "requisition" folk food as soon as they entered the official road.

To describe it more accurately, the Qing army took things when they saw them, and went in to rob the restaurant shops when they saw them. Since the officers led the team themselves, the things they snatched were still divided to their subordinates. There was no need to cook now, and the Qing army found it very convenient.

The Central Army was walking and eating with the stolen goods, but they saw some injured shops who were beaten up and complained with them. The officers of the Central Army team were furious. The front army stole the goods from these merchants. Why did the merchants come to the Central Army to make trouble?

Fist and kicked, and the gun handle was poked randomly. Under the beating and scolding of the central army officers, the merchants who had added new injuries ran away crying.

General Xie Cilu, who was sitting in the eight-carrying sedan chair, felt a little helpless when he saw this scene. He stopped the sedan chair and sent someone to scold him. However, the entire Qing army advanced to follow the order of Lord Xie Cilu to advance at full speed, and this or two scoldings were useless.

In the end, even the sedan chair owner was considerate and "helped" Mr. Xie close the curtains, so that he would not let Mr. Xie be disturbed by the slightest disturbance outside.

Lord Xie Cilu loves to study and is also very smart. He knows that nothing can be done since ancient times, but if he can't bear it, he will make a big plan. He can only give mercy to these suffering merchants in his heart. He has doubled his hatred for Huo Chong who caused this. If Huo Chong had not rebelled, how could such a broken thing happen? Once Huo Chong was arrested, he would definitely cut him and his subordinates into pieces to avenge these people.

The businessman Gao Mingshan's shop was also kicked open. Seeing that it was empty inside, it actually closed the stall. The Qing army, who kicked in the door, cursed a few words and left in disappointment.

Gao Mingshan saw that the Qing army did not burn the house from afar, patted his chest, looked up at the sky, and muttered: "Thank you!"

He is in the axle business and has very close business dealings with Huo Chong. He heard that Huo Chong, who has always abides by the law and never bullies others, was forced to rebel. Gao Mingshan was very surprised. However, Huo Chong was too rich, and Gao Mingshan was inevitably gloating in his surprise. Seeing that the number of people was unlucky, he would inevitably feel that "you have today."

However, Gao Mingshan received a message from Mr. Huo yesterday, just targeting merchants with good relationships with Mr. Huo. Mr. Huo's people asked them to temporarily close their stalls first to beware of looting when the Qing army came.

Gao Mingshan was indeed a little jealous of Huo Chong, a craftsman, who had become a craftsman. Because of this, Gao Mingshan did not dare to underestimate Huo Chong. After thinking about it, Gao Mingshan transferred his things that night.

At this time, in addition to being happy with his own judgment, Gao Mingshan also felt a lot less alienated to Huo Chong. Even at this time, Mr. Huo still had someone else in his heart.

The tragic situation of the shops on both sides of the official road made Gao Mingshan return to reality from his thoughts. Gao Mingshan was afraid of tidying up his clothes. It seemed that if officers and soldiers passed by, they had to listen to Mr. Huo. They would never have any contact with these officials.

It was dark, and the clouds covered the already slender crescent moon. Eight hundred Han troops were marching in the mountains. With the wild watch given by Huo Chong, Qian Qing walked in the front.

There were not many people leaving here, and it was so dark. The soldiers were like the eagle catching chickens in the usual game, grabbing the backpacks of their comrades in front of them and smearing them forward. As the leader of the team, Qian Qing raised his wrists from time to time and looked at the direction of the pointer on the luminous dial.

Qian Qing admired what kind of skilled craftsman created such a craftsman. Over the past few days, according to the "trial and error" principle taught by Huo Chong to Qian Qing, Qian Qing tried it dozens or hundreds of times under different circumstances, and found that the outdoor sports watch on his wrist was really reliable.

With this thing in your hand, you don’t need to worry about losing your way at night when you can’t see your fingers. You don’t have to worry about getting lost in the wrong time, whether it’s day or night.

The eight hundred troops marched at night, and under normal circumstances, they lit torches and various inquiries were enough to make people a few miles or even ten miles away have to notice it. At this time, they could quietly pass through the mountains located at conspicuously high places.

Qian Qing not only became more and more confident in the victory of the battle, but also felt at ease that Mr. Huo was willing to hand over such treasures to him. He had decided to follow Mr. Huo Chong for his whole life, and what he was most afraid of was that Mr. Huo did not treat him like this. With this alone, Qian Qing felt his position in Huo Chong's heart.

Most of the newly established Han army was taken out of the core territory of the Han regime by Qian Qing. At this time, the Han-controlled area not only had to face the counterattack of the gentry, but also had to face the attack of Li Shude's army, which was very lacking in intelligence. Perhaps Huo Chong needed this treasure even more.

Even if it is for Mr. Huo to be so loyal to him, this battle must be won cleanly!

It was dawn, and Xie Cilu's headquarters, who had been running wildly on the official road for two or three days, was exhausted. Although the officials were moving fast all the way, the unscrupulous merchants had somehow run faster than the official army. They were only recruited for two days along the way, and no one opened the shops they saw again on the third day. After kicking in, they found that the things inside had been moved clean. There was really no hair left.

Some officers were so angry that they ordered the house to burn!

The officers were angry that they might not have been that after taking the businessmen’s belongings, the merchants actually came to ask for money. What made the officers angry was that these people dared to deliberately not provide food and drink to the official army. Don’t they know that the official army is fighting?

In the early morning, it took a lot of time to bury the pot and make rice. Under the smoke and fire, the government army finally started to eat.

Under the strict order of General Xie Cilu, the detectives who conducted large-scale investigations rushed back exhausted. They didn't understand what medicine General Xie Cilu took the wrong one and cared so much about a group of bandits. The detectives had conducted the maximum investigation in front of them and arrested many suspicious people, but none of them were.

Just as the meal was about to start, I suddenly heard someone screaming in the back. After a moment, the gunshots were loud. The Qing soldiers who heard the gunshots didn't know why. Why did they fire guns in the back?

Xie Cilu may be the first person among the four thousand Qing troops to realize the seriousness of the matter. What Yongzheng saw for Xie Cilu was really put into his heart. Huo Chong's evaluation of "using troops in a vague manner and fighting solidly" was really a highly praised. When the Qing army rear team was hit hard and escaped along the official road, Xie Cilu had to consider that this surprise soldier was a concrete manifestation of Huo Chong's "using troops in a vague manner".

"Order all teams of troops to join the central army!" Lord Xie Cilu gave an order.

The hungry and thirsty messengers conveyed orders to the teams along the official road. The teams of officials had no time to eat breakfast, so they were ordered to take action.

Xie Cilu commanded the central army to barely accommodate the fleeing rear squadron and used the red-clothed cannons he carried to rush the bandits who were pursuing the Qing army's back squadron. Finally, he repelled the attack of the bandits.

At this time, other Qing troops had already rushed back to the Central Army, and each team had to set up their formation along the official road again, and the situation became even more chaotic.

Qian Qing looked at the Qing army near the ambushing hillside on the other side of the ambushing hillside as if she was herding sheep. He knew that the time had come. She stood up and shouted to the big Han soldiers behind her: "Rise the flag!"

The flag bearer stood up from the hidden place, and the red flag was raised high beside Qian Qing.

Turning back, Qian Qingming said, "Blow the charge! Kill!"

Immediately, Qian Qing was the first to execute his order and launched an attack on the Qing army that was in chaos at the foot of the mountain with a rifle.

The charge roar blew up loudly, and under the guidance of the red flags along the way, the soldiers followed their own commanders to charge towards the Qing army.

Xie Cilu also saw the bandits like wolves and tigers running down the hillside, and was stunned for a moment. The general of Dengzhou Town did not understand at all that there were so many bandits hidden under his nose.
