Iron blood Suiming

140 miles south of Gaomi City is the location of Jianghu Village. In fact, it is on the edge of Lingshanwei. It is only five miles away from Lingshanwei. Because of its high terrain, it is a small hillock. Go, the blue sea can be seen as far as the eye can see.

After three days of rapid marching, Li Kaiguo showed up at the entrance of Jianghu Village with Hao Xi and two hundred recruits and two hundred veterans. In fact, he wanted to recruit more soldiers, so he changed his mind and asked Feng Guoyong to take one hundred recruits and one hundred veterans to sit in the county seat, and recruit them in the whole county of Gaomi according to the specifications of the last recruitment. The goal this time is, At least 300 more recruits must be recruited to make up the number of [-] recruits. As for the veterans, let them retire slowly in the future.

During the 140-mile journey, Li Jianguo knew what kind of life the people of Daming really lived. Due to the persecution of Tartars and pirates for many years, most of the villages were dilapidated, and everyone had no clothes or food. Feed.Compared with them, the people in Gaomi County are living in paradise.

Along the way, Li Jianguo was in a heavy heart. Only when he came to the entrance of the village of Jianghu, did he feel better.But soon, he was in a bad mood.

Craftsman Village is guarded by people sent by Lingshanwei. There are more than 50 craftsmen in the village, not only Han Chinese, but also more than [-] Portuguese foreign gunners and craftsmen.Due to Kong Youde's rebellion, Dengzhou Shuicheng was broken. Dengzhou was the place where the Ming army manufactured new artillery and trained artillery. Nearly a hundred Portuguese and other foreign artillery masters and craftsmen, as well as a large number of trained artillery, were all captured by the rebels.

Later, Kong Youde attacked Huang County and Pingdu again and again, and used false surrenders to lure and kill Ming general Sun Yinglong and his [-] soldiers who came from Tianjin to appease him, and obtained a large number of ships.

In August, Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong Province, was ordered by the military governor Jin Guoqi and others to lead tens of thousands of troops to quell the rebellion.Kong Youde lost several battles and closed the city to defend Dengzhou.

The officers and soldiers built long sieges and cut off food roads, which put the rebels in a difficult situation.Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others left more than [-] people to guard the water city of Dengzhou in November, and secretly led [-] people to go to sea by boat.

Before long, General Wang Zhifu and others used tunnel blasting to conquer Shuicheng and wiped out the remaining rebels. The craftsmen in this craftsman village were the remaining craftsmen left at that time.These craftsmen are only one-third of the craftsmen in Dengzhou Shuicheng, and two-thirds of them were all taken to Manchu by Kong Youde.Therefore, these more than [-] artisan households were moved to this place and protected by Lingshan Guard.

Of course Li Jianguo knew this. Before coming, Feng Guoyong had already told him the origin of the Craftsman Village in detail.When he first learned about it, Li Jianguo was extremely angry. The damned Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming fled as soon as they fled. It was really wrong to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. artillery.

Li Jianguo silently remembered the names of these two people in his heart. These two people must kill their nine clans in order to relieve their hatred.

Although he cursed in his stomach for three days, Li Jianguo's mood was destroyed by the defenders of Lingshanwei.Hao Xi acted as a pioneer along the way, and if he was able to follow Li Jianguo out to handle affairs, then of course he wanted to be the first in everything, so he flattered Li Jianguo. At this time, he had worked hard all the way and finally came to the village entrance of Jianghu Village. Of course, Hao Xi To make a stop, he didn't wait for the group behind to arrive, he went into the village first, where did he know that he didn't even explain why he came, he just said he was from Gaomi, and was arrested by the defenders.

When Li Jianguo came to the village entrance of Jianghu Village, Jianghu Village had already closed the village and closed the gate. There were dense black holes protruding from the walls of the village, and several tiger squatting cannons also exposed the muzzles.

My cao, Li Jianguo almost cursed, what's the situation with his md?What did Hao Xi do in Jianghu Village?It actually made Craftsman Village treat them as enemies.

He has wronged Hao Xi, Hao Xi was tied up and thrown on the ground, with five or six spears pointed at him, he didn't know what happened, only a pair of panicked eyes were rolling around.

Li Jianguo stood more than [-] meters away from the entrance of the village with restless soldiers. He had to retreat. He could not rush in until he understood how powerful Jianghu Village was. Of course, the guns and artillery made him very nervous. Be cautious, with his current strength, he still can't fight head-on with muskets and artillery.

Li Jianguo called Ma Ying over with a gloomy face, but Guo Xiaode let him stay in the county, "Tell me, what are they doing?"

Ma Ying groaned in his heart, he didn't know what the garrison of Jianghu Village was doing, but Li Jianguo asked him, but he had to answer, he gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, wait for me to go up and ask."

Li Jianguo nodded, and Ma Ying raised his hands and walked towards the wall.The defenders may have seen that he was unarmed, but they did not open fire.

At this moment, smoke and dust suddenly appeared everywhere, and dozens of horsemen and horses suddenly appeared. The horsemen were dressed in the military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty, and they were obviously the troops of the Ming Dynasty. Thousands of horses.

Li Jianguo and the others were unknowingly surrounded by troops from the brigade, but the more than [-] recruits and veterans immediately panicked. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Ying retreated and shouted: "My lord, We are surrounded by people, what should we do?"

Li Jianguo's heart also sank, he didn't expect to be ambushed here, but he was not very worried in his heart, even if these thousands of people came for him, he had nothing to fear, at worst, he would use supernatural powers to kill them Get out and start all over again.

It's just that the team that has been pulled together with great difficulty, how can you easily give up, so he didn't panic, and shouted loudly: "Stay safe for me, with me here, what are you afraid of?"

He had a very high prestige in the hearts of the recruits at this time. Seeing that his adults were calm and composed at this time, the recruits calmed down. Although they were afraid in their hearts, they faintly felt that as long as Li Jianguo was around, nothing would be impossible.

The veterans were far behind. If they were not afraid of Li Jianguo, the murderous king, all the veterans would have surrendered on their knees.

The surrounding men and horses only pushed within fifty paces in an instant, and the ones in the lead were the dozens of cavalry.Li Jianguo stared at the group of cavalry without blinking, black lines fluttering in his eyes. If the cavalry entered his attack position, it only took a moment for Li Jianguo to kill half of them.

Just when Li Kaiguo's Ghost Crying Broadsword was raised slightly, and his feet had accumulated enough strength, the speed of the cavalry suddenly slowed down, and after twenty steps away, the cavalry stopped completely.The densely packed Ming army also stopped, and the two sides suddenly fell silent.

When Li Jianguo saw the army stop, he didn't say anything, his face was expressionless, but anyone who saw it would feel a chilling murderous intent.

"Okay, okay, you are indeed the number one thief who steals officials, you really have courage and insight." The soldier who was riding first suddenly exclaimed loudly.

Li Jianguo put the slightly raised ghost crying sword on the ground, and said coldly: "The fart dog here, dare to be so presumptuous in front of this official."

As soon as these words came out, dozens of people shouted angrily: "Bold, how dare you insult Commander-in-Chief."

"At the end of the day, the general will step forward and cut off his dog's head, to relieve the hatred of the lord." At that moment, the dozens of cavalrymen were about to drive forward.

The soldier who rode first laughed, stopped the whip in his hand, and said with a smile: "All generals, please be safe and don't make noise. I will ask you to understand."

Although he was smiling, there was a stern light in his eyes, and he shouted: "I am Chang Wenzhong, the commander of Lingshan Guard, and you are Li Guo?"

Li Jianguo was shocked, it was actually the commander of Lingshan Guard, how did he know my name?Then they understood that there must be a problem in Gaomi County, and it was most likely the group of gentry who informed them.

Cao, at this moment, Li Jianguo scolded himself for being stupid. He thought that letting these gentlemen kill Zhang County Magistrate, and then signing them with his own hands would be able to drag them into his own thief boat. Those old foxes are really childish.He went out of the city first, and someone reported to Lingshanwei later.

Although his heart was turbulent, but there was no expression on his face, he said slowly: "This officer is Li Guo, the new sentry officer of Gaomi County, I don't know why the Commander set up an ambush here to surround this officer?"

Chang Wenzhong was stunned, then spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and shouted: "You are a thief, how dare you call yourself an official? Let me ask you, are you a sentry officer appointed by the imperial court? Do you have official credentials?"

Li Jianguo was furious and shouted: "You old thief, you dare to insult this official twice, but you don't want to live anymore?"

With 400 people against thousands, he dared to speak so boldly. The Ming army led by Chang Wenzhong burst into laughter. Everyone pointed like a monkey. Chang Wenzhong also shook his head, disappointed in his heart. Li Jianguo is a brave and resourceful general, but when he saw him at this moment, he was just a reckless man who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

Feeling lost in his heart, he waved his hand and said: "All the troops stepped forward and beheaded this brazen little thief."

As soon as he gave an order, all the troops under his command responded, and dozens of cavalry behind him rushed forward, screaming and killing, and the Ming army in all directions was also approaching step by step.

Li Kaiguo shouted angrily: "Face the enemy with me. Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy." The ghost crying sword was raised again, and he didn't have the time to care whether the soldiers under him dared to fight. At this time, he had to Get rid of the cavalry first, otherwise his [-] soldiers will be crushed by these dozens of cavalry, and even if he kills all the Ming troops in the end, there will not be many recruits left under his hands.

The countless black lines suddenly turned into a large long and narrow oval cover, and in the cover, there were countless paths of beheading swimming in a mess.

Just when the cavalry was the first to charge within ten steps, Li Jianguo's feet seemed to be loaded with shells, and his figure suddenly rushed forward, like a tiger out of the gate, and rushed into the cavalry group.
