This Douzi Wan's name is Wan Siyou. His family owns a tofu shop. He buys and dries beans every day, so his neighbors call him Douzi Wan.
This man once led people to besiege the county government office, complaining that the government office bullied the people. As a result, he was fettered by the county government for fifteen days in the name of gathering a crowd to cause trouble.
The people on the street thanked him for his kindness and fed him food and drink, so Douziwan survived.
Later, he was imprisoned before he could be released. The county town was broken up and he was released. There were more than 20 young people in the city who pushed him to lead the rebellion.
Douziwan was once again elected to talk to Mr. Ba in the West Camp. Unexpectedly, Mr. Ba came back to face the battle and couldn't make up his mind with the two factions.
Seeing that there were many people on his side, Douzi Wan gave his subordinates a wink and quietly surrounded them, then suddenly took action. There was a melee between the two sides, and more than two hundred people were killed and injured before it calmed down.
It's a pity that General Manager also died in the chaos, so he had to come out and surrender on behalf of everyone holding a white flag.
Zhao Jingzi shook hands with him on behalf of Li Dan to express his acceptance, and then asked the remaining people to throw their weapons aside and go to Xishan to gather. He took Douzi Wan and several other leaders to see Li Dan.
The damned ones were almost dead. Li Dan was very satisfied, so he chatted with him, and gradually found that this man was not bad at heart, and had long accepted the idea of recruiting, so he asked him if he would be willing to perform meritorious service and atone for his sins?
Then he was sent to bring some people to Guangxin to "defect", and among these people were several people from the detective team.
Dou Ziwan told Chow Tai Fook the story of the town's fall. Of course, what happened in the West Camp was processed, and then he said that he was on night patrol. As a result, he lost his opponent and had to flee in a hurry.
"So, Fengling Town is really lost?" Chow Tai Fook asked in surprise.
"What a loss! When we escaped, the army was using the general's blunderbuss to bombard the main entrance of the courtyard. Later, we saw them rushing in from a distance, and then we announced that Hua Jibshuo and Yishen Jin had been captured." Douziwan said seriously. to answer.
"How is this possible? The Third Marshal is so brave, how could he be captured without any help?" someone said in disbelief.
"Perhaps he was injured, or maybe they used a trick to make a profit." Another person sighed: "Anyway, if it fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers, given their identities, I'm afraid it would be a disaster!"
"Stop talking!" Chow Tai Fook interrupted their chatter, tapped his fingers on the scabbard impatiently, and asked, "Brother Douzi, do you think the army will attack us immediately?"
"He will definitely come to attack! Of course, not now." Douziwan saw panic on everyone's faces and said quickly:
"The officers and soldiers are not allowed to clean the battlefield just after a battle? Are they not allowed to count the seizures and distribute rewards? Are they not allowed to let everyone eat well and have a good night's sleep?
Besides, they were holding big blunderbuss, so they couldn't run so fast!
The subordinates think that everyone should keep their spirits up tonight and set out before dawn tomorrow to lay an ambush. Maybe we can turn defeat into victory and even rescue the Third Marshal and the Seventh Grandma. Captain, do you think so? "
"Oh, yes! That's the truth!"
"Hey, then you will be a meritorious minister!"
"That's right, captain, don't forget your brothers when you get promoted to general!"
Everyone took the opportunity to praise and flatter him. A smile broke out on Chow Tai Fook's face: "It's easy to say, easy to say. Well, Brother Douzi fought hard to escape. It took a lot of effort to report the news, and he also presented such a good strategy. After success, I will report it to Lou Shuai!"
"I would like to thank you, Mr. Xiaowei, and please write a letter to the Second Heavenly King and send a brother to see the Second Heavenly King, asking him to join forces to attack from inside and outside. I can send a brother with you to explain to the Second Heavenly King why Fengling Town has been lost. The truth."
"Well, yes. We need to hurry up on this matter. With the cooperation of his team, we will be more confident!"
After Zhou Dafu finished speaking, he hurriedly asked someone to write a letter, arranged for people to deliver it, and asked someone to accompany Douzi Wan to pick him up, and arrange rest and accommodation for his men.
He was busy here, but he didn't know that Li Dan had already brought a large group of people to kill them aggressively.
Before the fighting started in Fengling Town, the people who reported the news to Guangxin had already set off. They rushed to the city after dawn and were pulled up to the top of the city in rattan baskets by the defenders.
Soon Magistrate Guo and Sun Shoubei sent people to take them to the county government.
After seeing the letters and tokens written by Sheng Huaien presented by the two of them, Magistrate Guo frowned, while Sun Shoubei seemed a little eager to give it a try.
"Your Majesty, it seems they have to take action in advance."
"Yes, I'm worried, very worried!"
"What is the county magistrate worried about?"
"The Huajibuo men have three times the strength of Nanshan. Even if they make a surprise attack, how sure can they be? This is too risky!"
"The troops are out of danger." When Sun Shoubei said this, he turned to look at the two of them, asked them to wait outside, and then said softly:
"It's useless for us to worry at this moment, it's definitely a foregone conclusion over there.
I think we should be prepared. If they come to attack Chow Tai Fook and break the siege of Guangxin as they say, then I will block the enemy's escape route to the south as the letter says, and my lord can lead the rest of the defenders to watch the battle at the top of the city. . "
"Okay, as you say!" ap.
Originally, Sheng Huai'en was just a military attache of Geyang Guard, but when he was awarded the reward last time, he became Fengling's transfer envoy and carried out Shangrao Guard's affairs. Therefore, County Magistrate Guo had to cooperate, otherwise he would be in conflict with the General's Office.
Besides, the main purpose of their visit is to transport food and supplies, and these are also urgently needed by Guangxin.
So the two of them came to the north gate together. From here, they could observe the movements of Zhou Dafu's military camp in the distance, and at the same time, they could mobilize and command nearby.
At this time, Sheng Huaien and Li Dan were rushing towards Guangxin with their troops. They were very fast, and Li Dan's troops were divided into three groups:
The first route was led by Li Dan personally, including most of the front camp and the left camp (part of the left camp was considered to stay in Nanshan), as well as the archery team and Luo You's No. 4 squadron. They took a carriage to the foot of Hugangtou, then crossed the Pine Ridge and started from Attack the enemy's flank from west to east.
On the second route, Zhou Qin led Lin Shuntang's No. 2 Squadron and Ma Jiu's escort to occupy Huangling, and then left Ma Jiu on guard. Zhou and Lin headed east to occupy Shangban Ferry and looked for a way to cross the river (because they crossed Shangban The river can go directly to the north gate of the water village, which is closer than walking down the slope, and it is more convenient to enter the water village).
The third squadron and firearms team of Tan Zhongxiao and Gao Hanzi were ambushing in the dense woods at the northern foot of Huangling. They were preparing to deal with Lou Shiming.
Sheng Huai'en led 600 officers and soldiers, as well as the newly reformed Tie Chuozi and Shi Sannian, who were the main force in the frontal attack. The former rode mules and the latter marched in carts.
After all vehicles have delivered their troops, they will immediately return to Tujiayuan for loading. If the battle goes well, the baggage will be transported to Guangxin immediately. If the battle does not go well, the baggage will be evacuated back to Nanshan.
All baggage and transportation matters are presided over by Master Ba and Chen Sanwen, with Gosanro as their deputy.
In Chow Tai Fook's view, Guangxin is actually an isolated city now. how to say? Although it faces Shangrao across the river, this river is in the hands of Lou Shuai.
The road to the north is blocked by oneself, and the road along the river to the south requires climbing over mountains and ridges, which is rugged and difficult to navigate. Needless to say, there are also mountains to the west.
So he always thought that maybe he could just hang out comfortably on the deck chair in the big yard under the pine ridge. When he was happy, he went fishing in the pond behind and steamed a pot of wine when he came back. It was great!
Maybe one day the dog magistrate can't stand it any longer, or maybe the one who has nothing to eat will come out and surrender on his own.
Although he panicked when he heard that Fengling Town had fallen, he was not as afraid as others.
The reason is that he knows that from Fengling Town to Guangxin, he must pass through Wansongling. There is only this official road in the north. If the officers and soldiers don't take the official road, wouldn't they become thieves?
So as long as he sets a trap at Wansongling like Douziwan said, the officers and soldiers will be able to catch him off guard!
This was his true thought, and this was how he ordered the preparations. But he never expected that the officers and soldiers would arrive so quickly and rush outside the gate of his village in broad daylight.
cavalry? No wonder! The whole camp is in chaos!
The opponent first gathered hundreds of cavalry outside the stronghold and showed off their power. Then hundreds of infantry came forward, blocking the door and yelling curses.
After listening for a long time, Chow Tai Fook realized that these people were all the former Third Marshal's men who had surrendered and rebelled!
Some people were so angry that they wanted to go out to fight. Chow Dafu quickly stopped everyone and said:
"Don't you find it strange? There are indeed a thousand people in the official army plus these surrendered troops, but don't they also have a militia? Where is his militia? If you rush out without hesitation, you might fall into a trap. Already!"
So he strictly ordered no one to go to war and waited for Lou Shiming to lead troops to help. "Then we'll attack from the front and back, and cooperate from the inside and the outside, huh! Let's let these traitors be proud for a while longer."
However, the opponent did not leave him much time, because two general bronze guns were transported to the battlefield.
Seeing four horses pulling a cart, the rebels were surprised at first and didn't understand what the other party was doing. When the cart turned around, everyone's eyes widened.
"General's gun! Oh my god, they brought the general's gun here!"
"Back up, back up quickly!"
The rebel camp is actually very simple, just a few wooden fences. There are neither ditches nor too many defensive objects such as horses outside the door.
After all, the team had been formed not long ago, and the previous battles had gone smoothly. They did not want to imitate the official army, and felt that it was unnecessary to expend such effort.
These wooden fences are enough to defend against light infantry, and they can also deal with cavalry, but they are completely useless against firearms such as big guns.
Those who knew about it ran away, and those who had never seen before were a little panicked by them, but they didn't understand what these people were afraid of?
"Bang, bang" made two loud noises, and the projectiles shattered the two village gates made of wooden rafts. The projectiles continued to move forward, flying towards the panicked soldiers with flying sawdust.
"Ah——!" The people who were hit let out heart-rending howls, and some had already fallen into a pool of blood and could not move.
One of the men was rolling on the ground with splinters of wood stuck in his eye sockets. A small leader had no choice but to step forward and stab him to death in order to prevent the shouts from frightening more people and to save him from suffering.
Everyone stared at the open door tremblingly, but the officers and soldiers did not pour in from there.
Faintly heard shouts and figures running in the distance, but before everyone understood what was going on, there were two more "bang, bang" sounds, and the fence on the left side of the door suddenly flew into the air, and the doorpost lost its support. Shake twice and slowly fall down.
Then came the howling again. This time the projectile penetrated deeper into the crowd. Seven or eight people were lying on the ground motionless. Some had their stomachs leaked and some had their chests flattened.
The most unlucky thing was that his hip bone was shattered and he fell there unable to scream, and his mouth was full of blood. Still, he was chopped down by his own leader.
Opposite the crowd, all the gates of the village fell to the ground, and a twenty-step-long gap appeared on the right side. The smoke gradually dissipated, and everyone discovered that the big guns on the opposite side were being reloaded, and chaos suddenly broke out.
Some people turned back and ran into the village, those on the left side dodged to the right side, and those in the back were pushed down and trampled on, screaming.
Then the third "bang, bang" came again. People no longer cared about who was hit or which fence collapsed. Everyone was scrambling to run back. Everyone wanted to get away from those two people while they were still alive. Stay away from the big guns.
Sheng Huaien looked through the telescope (actually he could see clearly at such a close distance without using that thing) and saw that the village gate and both sides were no longer blocked. He waved his hand proudly and ordered: "Raise the muzzle half an inch, use chain bullets, and fire the two wings." go ahead!"
The chain bullet used in the fourth launch was to put a cork on the top of the medicine bag, and then add two smaller iron balls connected by an iron chain.
This thing is no longer a straight line, but a street.
Two iron balls fly around, and there is an iron chain in the middle to cause damage, and can even interrupt the opponent's waist. The scurrying crowd was struck, further exacerbating the chaos.
"Come in, the opportunity to be rewarded for your meritorious service has come, kill!" Sheng Huai'en and his own soldiers took the lead in urging their mounts forward, with the officers and soldiers in the middle, and the returned soldiers on the two wings. The large group of people rushed into the stockade in a mighty manner.
When Chow Tai Fook heard the first round of gunshots, he knew that he could not hold on. On the one hand, he sent his close men to resist, suppress, stabilize the troops, and organize the defense. On the other hand, he quietly led his own soldiers to mount their horses and escape out of the south gate.
When the guards at the south gate saw that all the captains had run away, were they still stupid? Followed and chased. Who would have thought that as soon as they turned around the red stone slope under the pine ridge, they would see a large number of people in front of them?
They came in, all wearing blue clothes and trousers, and wearing blue cloth headbands.
Chow Tai Fook suddenly remembered what Douzi Wan had said, that the most fiercely trained battalion was called the Green Shirt Team, and he hurriedly shouted "No" and tried to turn the horse's head.
Unfortunately, this guy's riding skills were poor, and the horse was confused by him, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
While I was mixing garlic in the mud, someone on the hillside shouted: "Crossing the Nine Peaks is here, and the thieves will leave!"
After saying "Here", a black-feathered arrow arrived like a meteor and shot right through the side of Chow Dafu's neck. Everyone was shocked and was already dead when they came to rescue him.
When the rebels saw more and more people pouring out from the front, they turned around and wanted to go back to the stronghold. However, they saw that the stronghold gate had been captured. One person burst out laughing:
"This sect has come here to seek fame and fame. If you want to live, you can put down your weapons!"
Several leaders yelled at them and led their men to fight, while more people were at a loss and had no choice but to flee eastward.
However, they saw that the suspension bridge was lowered in the city and five hundred officers and soldiers rushed out to cut off the way. They had no choice but to abandon their weapons and kneel down to beg for their lives.
Looking back at those who fought against the green-shirted soldiers, they were all lying on the ground like corpses.
