Li Dingguo thought: "After such a long time, with the fighting ability of Lin Ni's bandits, the troops commanded by Master Xu Shan may have been defeated by Lin Ni's bandits, and Master Xu Shan may also be captured by Lin Ni. It's broken in two, should I continue to fight?"

At this time, the staff came over and asked, "Why are you worried about the general?"

Li Dingguo sighed and said: "To put it bluntly, Mr. Xu Shan may have been defeated by Lin Ni's bandits. What's the use of us continuing to fight?"

The aide said: "How can it be useless? Xu Shan is Xu Yingku's clan. If Xu Shan died today, Xu Yingku must ask. If people know that your rescue is not good, can Xu Yingku easily forgive you? My lord made a decision." It’s easy to explain to the higher-ups if they try their best to rescue them!”

Li Dingguo nodded again and again, and said: "Then how should we fight? The innermost circular trench was planted with bombs by Lin Ni bandit soldiers, and our people would be killed if they went there! I don't know how many bombs Lin Ni bandit soldiers put. , our battalion of five generals can't be wasted here!"

The aide said: "My lord, why did you forget that the militiamen are the most numerous in our army!"

Li Dingguo rolled his eyes and said, "That's right, why did I forget them! Let's go, let's go to the militia camp ourselves!"

Li Dingguo then came to the militia camp with his staff and entourage. A battalion of the Qing army has about 1000 people, and the militia camp has a relatively large establishment, with 1 people. There are eight battalions in total, called: the first battalion, the second battalion... ... Eight Battalions.

The Commander of the First Battalion of the Militia Battalion heard that Li Dingguo was coming and rushed out to greet him. When he saw Li Dingguo, he said, "My lord, although the combat effectiveness of our First Battalion of the Militia is not as good as that of the General Five Tigers, we are also training hard day and night. Everyone They all hate Lin Ni's bandit soldiers, why don't you let us go up?"

Li Dingguo sneered and said, "Don't play tricks with me. Is your first militia battalion really eager to fight?"

Yingtong replied loudly: "That's right! If there is half a word false, the military law will do it!"

Li Dingguo said in a loud voice: "Take me to your camp, I have to ask you." Ying Tong then brought Li Dingguo to the camp. Li Dingguo called a seventeen or eighteen-year-old militiaman at random and asked, "Would you like to go to battle and kill?" Lin Ni bandits?"

The militiaman replied in a loud voice: "The Lin Ni bandits do all kinds of crimes by burning, killing, looting, and my subordinates are willing to go to battle to kill the Lin Ni bandits and eliminate harm for the people. I will die!"

Li Dingguo asked a few more militiamen and got similar answers. Li Dingguo thought with satisfaction: "It seems that my 'hate training method' is really effective, and the militia battalion is full of fighting spirit! Haha, these grassroots are really easy to deceive, fabricate some Stories can send them to their deaths, grassroots are grassroots! You have to be taken care of after birth, and Lin Ni wants to abolish the emperor, isn’t it a joke?”

Li Dingguo then ordered that the first battalion of the militia, as the main attacking force, enter the ring position from the trenches and launch an attack on the position of the Lin Ni bandits!All the militiamen cheered in unison, and Li Dingguo said loudly to the crowd: "You may die! But don't worry, your parents are my parents, and your children are my children. The court will give your family a large pension Yes! Go ahead, kill all the Lin Ni bandits, and be loyal to the Holy One!"

After Li Dingguo finished speaking, he laughed inwardly: "Pensions? Another chance to make a fortune!" At this moment, a militiaman suddenly rushed out from the crowd, knelt down in front of him, and shouted loudly: "I beg you, Mr. thing!"

When Li Dingguo saw this militiaman rushing out of the crowd, he was very displeased, but it was not easy to show it in front of the crowd, so he smiled and said: "If there is something, it's okay to talk about it!"

The militiaman said: "Since the first battalion of our militia was established, we have not had an official name. Please give me a good name!"

Li Dingguo secretly smiled in his heart: "What did I think it was? Let me die!" So Li Dingguo said in awe-inspiring way: "I respect the pride of all of you who sacrificed your life for the Holy One, so I call your camp Guan Xingying, how about it?"

All the militiamen cheered in unison: "Our battalion also has a name!" Li Dingguo looked at the group of militiamen who didn't even have military uniforms and laughed secretly: "What a bunch of ignorant guys, they can be so happy with a name! It's ridiculous."

Li Dingguo suppressed the smile in his heart, and said loudly: "Let's go!"

The militiamen set out towards the circular trench with machetes and sticks. The regiment leader Su Wanhai was taken aback when he saw the troops on the opposite side. The staff officer beside him asked, "Regiment commander, are they the Qing army?"

Su Wanhai hesitated and said, "Without a military uniform and a gun, it doesn't look like it!"

The staff officer said: "I see that they are all wearing common clothes of ordinary people, and they seem to be local people."

Su Wanhai frowned, and asked, "Could it be that the Qing army wants to drive the people ahead and waste our bullets?"

The staff officer shook his head and said, "I don't think it looks like these people are arrogant and fearless. They should have come up on their own initiative!"

Su Wanhai said: "Shuai Lin once said in the meeting with us that the Qing army now pays special attention to propaganda and demagogy. These people may have been bewitched by the Qing court."

The staff officer said: "They have too many people, I'm afraid they will really run out of our bullets, we should think of a way."

Su Wanhai thought for a while and said: "These people must be the people newly recruited by the Qing government. They must be recruits who have never been on the battlefield. They all say that recruits are afraid of shells. Let our mortar troops prepare and fight for a while. Let's see. Can you scare them away."

The staff officer then went to issue an order, and the artillery shells quickly fell on the Qing army's position. The ear-piercing sound of the shells landing and the deafening explosion immediately spread across the battlefield. Fear instantly captured the hearts of those people who had never been on the battlefield. Although bewitched by the Qing court and full of hatred towards Lin Yuan's troops, at this time, fear still prevailed over hatred. After all, those hatreds were just hearsay. The mother, wife and sister were raped by Lin Yuan's troops, so everyone retreated after hearing the gunfire.

The supervisory team at the back immediately shot and cursed: "You are not allowed to retreat, whoever retreats will be shot!" The militiamen could only turn around and come back, but they had long since lost their arrogance, and they hid in the trenches and refused to go out. A few boldly rushed out of the trench, and when they heard the bullets from Lin Yuan's troops flying past their ears, they were so frightened that they peed their pants and hid back in the trench.

Li Dingguo knew that the law does not blame the public, so many militiamen retreated together, killing them all was not an option, so he asked the supervisory team not to shoot and kill people, and let the militiamen come back, many people inside cried: "My lord, let us go home Bar!"

Li Dingguo took a closer look, and those who cried the loudest were precisely those who showed the best determination. Li Dingguo sighed helplessly, and said to his staff: "Now we have nothing to do, we can't call my elite troops Will you die?"

The aide said: "Then we have to let our troops fire a few more shots and put on a show."

So Li Dingguo found a few confidantes and asked them to put on a show, and then thought: "We can't rescue Mr. Xu Shan, maybe the Jiaxing defenders in the west will have a way."
