Chapter 10 Battle of Yangzhou 1

In the dilapidate room, Liu Xia sat on the top, Zhang Yuan, Liu Dazhuang, Niu Yu, Wang En, Yu Mingjun, Zhang Liang, Ma Peng and Zhang Xuan sat at the bottom.

Behind Liu Xia stood Wang Shitou, and next to him stood a beautiful guard, who looked a little weak. According to him, his name was Xia Sai. When Jing Xiao recruited soldiers again, he met him being chased by the tar on the road and got off. Originally, Liu Xia saw that he was weak and did not want him to join, but in Xia Sai's bombing words, Liu Xia accepted him and saw that he was weak, so he asked him to be his personal guard.

The door of the room is tightly closed, and there are people standing outside, guarding the dilapided yard.

The sky is already dark, but there is only a very faint light in the room. The faint light can't even be felt outside. This is to minimize the possibility of detection.

Liu Xia scanned the crowd and then said, "We have reached a very critical moment now. There can't be any difference. I have also told you before about our goal. Although we don't have the ability to expel the tahs now, we can give them a serious blow. That's why I'll gather the soldiers today and let you prepare for war."

After Liu Xia finished speaking, she glanced at everyone's face again with sharp eyes. The room was quiet for a while. Liu Dazhuang first said to Jingxiao, "I would like to go through fire and water for the general, drive away the Tatars and restore our China."

After Liu Dazhuang finished speaking, the rest of the people also worshipped Liu Xia, and then said in the same firm tone, "We are willing to go through fire and water for the general, drive out the Tatars, and restore our China."

Liu Xia nodded with satisfaction, and then said solemnly, "The Qing army has known our whereabouts. We can't stay in this Yangzhou city. Anyway, we have to leave sooner or later, so we will leave early."

"Tonight, we will evacuate in batches. Now there are many holes in Yangzhou City. You can go out. After going out, there is a forest not far away. We will meet in the woods. Among them, the logistics battalion and the Guards of the first brigade of the Huxiao Battalion left with the general, and the rest of the battalions are scattered. Do you understand? What other objections?"

No one has any objection to Liu Xia's distribution. The reason why Liu Xia dares to separate the soldiers is to trust the previous team assigned to all levels by him. With these teams, Liu Xia can fully control this army.

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a while and asked Liu Xia, "General, what shall we do after we go out?" How to deal heavy damage to the people?"

Zhang Yuan's words asked everyone's voice. They also wanted to know how to hit the enemy hard, so they all looked up at Liu Xia. However, Liu Xia did not say anything, just smiled, and then said, "At that time, everyone knows it. Well, now everyone should do things quickly. At midnight, everyone tries to be small. In the woods. Remember that the sooner the better, but don't be noticed by the tahs. Be careful."

Looking at Liu Xia's confident appearance, everyone was even more curious about what Liu Xia wanted to do. However, Liu Xia didn't say anything about it, and they couldn't do anything about it. Now that Liu Xia asked them to work, they could only let go of this doubt and devote themselves to the transfer team.

Everyone said goodbye to Liu Xia and left one after another. Liu Xia looked at the back of everyone leaving, stood up and thought with his hands behind his back.

"General, what are we going to do now?" Wang Shitou looked at the calm Liu Xia and saw that the generals had left. Instead, he had nothing to do, so he was a little anxious.

Liu Xia turned around and said to Wang Shishi, "Go and collect our army. Tonight we will also go to the grove, and try to be as soon as possible."

"Yes, General"

"Xia Sai, you clean up the things in the room." Liu Xia looked at the weak bodyguard behind her. Now Liu Xia still can't figure out why she promised him to let him join?

Xia Sai answered, and then ran around the room and packed up his things carefully. Liu Xia looked at Xia Sai's work and thought that the little bodyguard was really handsome. If it was placed in the 21st world, he would definitely be a big star, and then a bunch of nymphomaniac people chased and shouted for sacrifice.

Xia Sai, who was working, felt that someone had been staring at him, and his face did not feel red, which made Liu Xia more interested.

Outside, several generals who were going out at this time led together and began to talk. Niu said, "What does the general want to do?" Why is it so mysterious? I'm really curious."

"I don't know what the general wants to do. The general's thoughts are not what we can figure out," Wang En said in a muffled voice.

Liu Dazhuang said, "Our generals always did things unexpectedly. Originally, there were more than 30 people with the general at that time. If these people were put on ordinary people, they would either surrender or run away, or fight to the death with the Qing army, and then the whole army was destroyed. But our general actually gathered thousands of troops by himself, which had to admire the general. As Brother Wang said, the general's mind was not beyond our ability.

When Ma Peng saw everyone, I didn't make it clear, so he said in a thick voice and said, "Do you think the general will attack the Dortuo army? If this is really the case, I, Ma Peng, will fuck the guy immediately.

Everyone stopped and looked at Ma Peng in surprise. This usually brave and resourceless guy can even figure out other people's thoughts? Although Ma Peng doesn't have much time to join the team, everyone knows him very well. This guy is bold and brave and resourceless. It's okay to let him go to war and charge, but if he is asked to figure out what other people mean, he can't even kill him.

Ma Peng felt the eyes of everyone, and his face became a little hot. He just didn't mean to say it. He was bold, so he also wanted to sneak up on Duoduo's army. Thinking of this, he said it. He didn't expect to let everyone look at him like this.

Yu Mingjun looked at everyone and Ma Peng, so he hurriedly said, "Didn't the general just say that he should ask the brothers to collect the army quickly and prepare to leave the city? Brothers, don't worry about this matter. When the time comes, the general will naturally tell me to wait."

After Yu Mingjun said this, everyone has come to their senses. Now is not the time to joke. There are still important things to do.

Ma Peng was relieved, so he hurriedly said to everyone, "My Ma Peng is far away. Let's go first and say goodbye." After saying that, Ma Peng left in a hurry. What happened just now made him feel too depressed. He didn't feel so embarrassed when facing the general. Ma Peng secretly thought that he would never interrupt more in the future.

With the departure of Marpeng, others also said goodbye to each other, and then returned to the place where their barracks were stationed and began to prepare.

——————————

The sky is dim, and you can't see five fingers. There are no stars in the sky, and the whole world is extremely quiet.

In the yard, because I have to pack up things, there are faint lights now. There are people running in a hurry everywhere, some are moving things, some feeding horses, and some loading supplies.

Soon everyone gathered and packed everything. Liu Xia came out of the house, followed by Wang Shitou, a big man, and Xia Sai, who was gasping with a burden.

Liu Xia looked at the team in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. The actual combat these days has made most people in the whole team become elites. A large amount of food as a backing makes the people who were originally yellow and thin again become big.

"General, comprehensive battalion, scout team and logistics team, all gathered" Yu Mingjun stood up straight, and then bowed to Liu Xia and reported his work.

Then Zhang Ning, the captain of a brigade transferred from the Hu Ben Camp, also came over and said to Liu Xia, "General, the first brigade of the Hu Ben Camp has been assembled."

Liu Xia nodded, and the rest were the dozens of personal guards. Originally, there were more than 100 personal guards, because they were divided for each general. Now there are still 30 or 40 people left, but the combat effectiveness of the personal guards, even the elite Hu Ben camp, is also very admirable.

Liu Xia said seriously, "Now everyone must be cautious and cautious. There can't be any difference. We must not let the Qing army find out now, so we should use your best energy to do your own errands."

"The scouts are scattered around to find out the news, and the horse does not need to ride to prevent sound. The guards are in the front, the logistics team is in the middle, and the tiger camp is distributed in the rear. Everyone is ready and start to move forward."

"Yes, General."

With Jing Xiao's order, everyone began to set their positions, and then the scouts went out one after another and began to check the news around. The other troops began to walk slowly out of the yard under the leadership of the guard.

Yangzhou is very large. As a city that can accommodate 800,000 people, it is impossible to squeeze so many people if it is small. It's really difficult for such a big Yangzhou city to go out at night, but Liu Xia had already found a route before, and now you just need to follow this route.

Everyone moved forward very carefully along the way, that is, Ma Liu Xia put bread on their feet to prevent sound, and the horse's mouth was also covered. At this time, it was Hai time (Hai time, which is equivalent to the current nine o'clock in the evening, which belongs to nine o'clock in the text). In ancient times, there were no variety of things. When it comes to entertainment, I always go to bed early. Now, except for special places, the whole city of Yangzhou is basically in the dark.

In the dark Yangzhou City, several teams slowly withdrew in different directions and with different numbers. It was precisely because the Qing army attacked Yangzhou City that many walls collapsed, which gave Liu Xia and others a door to evacuate.
