Outside the city of Jinan, Bolo, who was bandaging his face, galloped wildly, and the three hundred remnants of the defeated army behind him followed, rushing all the way to the city.

The Qing army defenders in Nancheng had already seen this force and immediately raised their vigilance.

In that year, the Qing army invaded Shandong twice, once to break Jinan, slaughtering more than 100,000 people and capturing hundreds of thousands of people.

The two invasions of the Qing army brought great harm to Shandong, and the people had a deep grudge with the Qing army, and there were rebels and bandits everywhere, and the surroundings of Jinan were not peaceful.

The Qing army at the head of the city saw Bo Luo and his party running to the city, and did not dare to be careless, the Qing army was annihilated by the Wei army, and the righteous army also touched off a few Qing army posts every once in a while, and it was not difficult to get some Qing army armor.

"Who?" The Qing generals in the city shouted, and an arrow swished, and it was set up in front of Bolo's horse, so startled that the front hooves of the war horse hung in the air and neighed.

Bolo hurriedly reined in the reins of his horse, controlled the war horse, and then looked at the city with one of his remaining eyes, only to see that the Qing army in the city was waiting for him.

Bolo calmed the horse, looked up and said, "It's me, open the city gate quickly." ”

The general of the city looked carefully when he heard this, Bolo wrapped half of his face, and he really couldn't see who he was, the general looked left and right, didn't know him, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Bolo was annoyed, "I'm Bolo! ”

The general of the city was slightly stunned, and his face changed greatly, "Hey, the prince of the county, you are~Hurry up~ Hurry up and open the city gate~"

The gate of the southern city was creaked open, and only then did a crack in the door be pushed out, and Bolo waved his horsewhip and roared, "Drive!" ”

Bolo galloped past with the remnants of the army, without saying hello to the guards at the city gate, and the guards and sergeants looked at the remnants of the soldiers who rushed into the city like a gust of wind, and couldn't help but talk about their backs.

"General, what's going on? Did the Wei army call? Someone worried.

The general's face was also a little melancholy, Bo Luo was injured, the situation must not be good, this Great Qing Kingdom is really not as good as a year, he shook his head, "I don't know, the prince of the county is suppressing bandits in Lunan, it shouldn't be the Wei army!" ”

Bolo galloped all the way, the horse's hooves clattered through the street, startling the pedestrians to quickly dodge, he galloped all the way to Geng Zhongming's mansion and flew off his horse, and then walked quickly to the mansion gate.

The Qing army guards in front of the mansion saw that this group of people was in a hurry to break into the mansion gate, and hurriedly stepped forward to intercept them, but they were pushed away by Bo Luo and walked directly inside, "Let King Huaishun come to see me." ”

Geng Zhongming got the report, hurriedly put on his pants, put on the official mansion, and didn't care about wearing a hat, so he tidied up his official robe and greeted him.

"Lord Wang, what's going on?" When Geng Zhongming walked out, he saw Bolo bandaged half of his head, and he was immediately shocked.

Bolo was able to make a new comeback, thanks to Geng Zhongming, so the relationship between the two is very good.

When Bo Luo saw Geng Zhongming come out, he was not polite, and even said: "King Huaishun, borrow 20,000 elite soldiers from this king!" ”

Geng Zhongming was slightly stunned, his face sank, and he didn't agree, but asked, "Lord Wang, why is this?" ”

Now that the situation is unclear, only with military power can he survive, and Geng Zhongming has to think about himself.

Bo Luo hurriedly told Geng Zhongming about the Loess Cliff, and informed Geng Zhongming that Liu Heizi had taken Yanzhou, and it was very likely that he would go south to seize the grain ships in Pi County in the next step, so he must send troops to exterminate it to prevent Liu Heizi from growing.

As soon as Geng Zhongming heard that the grain ship was in danger, he immediately became anxious, and half of that batch of grain was for him to eat.

"Lord Wang, I will let Jimao command the troops and accompany you to chase and suppress Liu Heizi." Geng Zhongming thought for a moment before speaking.

It is definitely not possible to borrow troops, who knows that if you borrow it, you will not pay it back, but Liu Heizi must be exterminated! He not only threatened the grain ships in Pixian, but if he was still strong in Yanzhou, he would also cut off the canal and cut off the connection between the Qing Dynasty and Huaibei and Southern Ming, making the north even more scarce of grain.

Therefore, Geng Zhongming decided to let his son Geng Jimao lead the army, which could not only encircle and suppress Liu Heizi, but also prevent the military power from being taken away by Boluo.

Bolo couldn't care so much now, and immediately rejoiced: "Okay, then let the son of the world walk with me." ”

The two reached a consensus on sending troops, and immediately entered the festival hall to discuss specific matters, Geng Zhongming dispatched Geng Jimao to select 20,000 elite soldiers, and Bolo once again issued an order to Ma Guanghui, the governor of Xuzhou, and ordered him to lead 10,000 people in Shandong and Huaibei to block Liu Heizi, and ordered 7,000 Qing soldiers from Qingzhou and Denglai to rush to Yanzhou from the flank, a total of 37,000 troops, and encircled and suppressed Liu Heizi in many ways.

Just a few days later, the gate of Jinan was opened, Bo Luo and Geng Jimao rode and stood beside the road, watching the Qing army with flintlock pistols on their shoulders marching in formation, watching the bronze cannons dragged by the war horses, passing in front of them, and marching to the south in a mighty way.

The generals of the Qing army kept greeting and urging urgently: "Hurry! Fast! Let's run! ”

Geng Zhongming saw Bo Luo off and instructed: "Lord Wang, you must exterminate Liu Heizi as soon as possible, once Liu Heizi becomes a giant, the damage to the Qing Dynasty will be too great." ”

Bolo nodded coldly, pulled the reins of his horse, and merged into the flow of people.

~~~~~~

After the First Battle of Loess Cliff, Liu Heizi's reputation was greatly enhanced, and he became the banner of the entire Shandong Righteous Army, and he became a real leader.

Regardless of whether the rebels and Tukou in Mengyi Mountain participated in the Battle of Loess Cliff or not, they all worship Liu Heizi's wharf now.

For a time, Yanzhou gathered 60,000 or 70,000 horses, of course, the bandits and bandits were the same as Li Zicheng's millions of soldiers, and most of them were dependents, and the soldiers and horses that could really fight were actually less than half, at most 30,000 people.

These soldiers and horses, it may be no problem for one person to fight a few green battalion soldiers in a single practice, but more than 30,000 people gathered together, but it became a pot of porridge.

Among them, Liu Heizi can really command only about 10,000 people, so Liu Heizi simply scattered the 20,000 people, let them sweep through Lunan, and even handed over Yanzhou to the leader of a mountain to guard, so he took 10,000 subordinates and marched south.

Before the Qing army in Jinan went south, Liu Heizi went south from Yanzhou, broke Zou County, Teng County, Xicangzhai, and Linchengyi, entered the canal, and seized a large number of materials.

At this time, Liu Heizi asked people to spread the news, the army will go straight to Pixian, seize the grain, give relief to the people, and the displaced people have taken refuge, and the army will roll more and more, and gather 100,000 in an instant.

More than 100,000 rebel troops, like locusts crossing the border, will sweep away all along the way.

The hungry people in Lunan and Huaibei heard the news, helped the old and the young, and came to take refuge.

These people have no hills, Liu Heizi asked his subordinates to select Qingzhuang and organize them into the thirty-sixth battalion, and their strength grew rapidly.

For a time, Liu Heizi's momentum was huge, and the army entered Pi County, and more than 100,000 people came from all over the field, shaking Jianghuai.
