Chapter 103: Momentum (Part II)
(Thank you for the big reward from Rather Die on your knees and the fifth Xiang!) )

Xiao Yaji, who was following behind, was terrified!
What kind of long-haired thief army is this, it's clearly a demon from hell! The county magistrate really has bad intentions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He just wanted to escape, but a tenant beside him who had a little insight grabbed him and said, "Second leader, this long-haired thief is so fierce, he must not be an enemy!" The villain heard that the long-haired thieves were also poor and only fought against the government. Why don't we help them deal with the government and break through the county seat, but they are afraid that they will have no food? ”
Xiao Yaji's eyes lit up, yes! Lao Tzu originally attacked the gentry and the government just to beg for food, why was he tempted to fight the thieves? It's all to blame on this damn county master! My subordinates are right, the poor should help the poor, maybe, Lao Tzu helped the long-haired thief defeat the officers and soldiers, and then led his brothers to take refuge in the past, will reward Lao Tzu with a county master, isn't it beautiful?
At that moment, Xiao Yaji hurriedly asked the tenants to stop advancing, and sent the tenant with some insight to take a piece of tattered white cloth and run to the long-haired thief to discuss.
Only then did Luo Qiongshu know that the two chaotic groups of "Qing Yong" in front and back were a group of tenants, and the team of more than 1,000 people behind them was the Qing army and the regiment training village brave. He hurriedly asked the tenant to go back and spread the word and welcome everyone to take refuge, but asked Leader Xiao to lead them around to help the Taiping Holy Army block the Qing soldiers and the village brave.
Here, the county commander Lu Jiyun led more than 300 Qing soldiers and 800 regiments to cover up behind the tenants, and suddenly saw that most of the tenants in the front were killed and wounded, and fled to the mountains and forests next to them, and couldn't help but slow down. found that the group of tenants in the middle also followed to the nearby mountains and forests. was in shock, but found that Xiao Yaji sent a person to report that it was Xiao Leader who led them to persuade the fleeing tenant brothers to come back, but because their weapons were too poor, they could only wait for the county lord to lead his troops to attack the thieves and assist in the siege from the side.
Just as he was thinking about it, the long-haired thief army on the opposite side had already advanced another two hundred steps and took the initiative to rush over. Lu Jiyun was busy with Liu Anhua, the head of the regiment, and led more than 100 people to keep an eye on the tenants next to him, and he led the rest of the men and horses to meet them.
The regiment leaders relied on Youfan and Xiao Qifan to lead the people to rush to the front, and there were more than 100 shotguns in their group training, and the rest were swords and spears.
In 50 steps, you will be within range of the shotgun. Lai Youfan stopped, he would no longer be stupid to rush forward and be beaten into a sieve.
Just as he was about to call the shotgunners to pay attention, gunshots rang out from the opposite side. Lai Youfan looked at the bloody hole in his chest in disbelief, and then went up and fell to the ground with all his strength.
After the three rounds of shotgun were released, Luo Qiongshu jumped up, holding a card knife and shouting, "Brothers, kill all the demons with me!" "Rush to the Qing army. The spearmen in the back immediately followed, and the shotgunners also drew their spears and rushed towards the opposite dough Yong.
The two leading regiments, Lai Youfan and Xiao Qifan, and more than 300 regimental training, died tragically, frightening the rest of the regiment to the point that their legs weakened. Now when I saw thousands of long-haired thieves rushing towards me desperately, I was even more frightened. The regimental warriors who are accustomed to fighting with the wind are more advanced than those tenants with weapons, and they are long-term tenants under a group of official gentry, when have they ever seen such a scene? Some of the brave ones could even crawl and run backwards, and the timid ones trembled all over, and could only squat on the ground and cry for mercy.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the county commander Lu Jiyun hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat bravely, wanting to hide in the county seat and defend it with the city wall. Unexpectedly, the tenants who were supposed to assist in the attack actually went around from the side to the back to block the official road. Although these mud legs are a rabble and vulnerable, even if it is a pile of meat, you have to cut it.
I didn't expect this situation to happen at a critical time. Lu Jiyun's eyes were red, and he shouted to Xiao Yaji in the crowd: "Leader Xiao, you quickly get out of the way, and we will retreat to the county seat together." Food matters are easy to discuss! ”
"Dog officer, don't talk about those useless ones. To tell you the truth, Lao Tzu is now the Taiping Holy Army! Xiao Yaji, who was hiding behind the crowd, shouted, "I arrested you, a dog official, and broke the county seat, are you afraid that there will be no food?" Brothers, the general of the Holy Army said that as long as we stop this dog officer, it will be a great achievement for us! The tenants suddenly agreed, and besieged the city with sticks, firmly blocking the way of the Qing army.
Lu Jiyun almost fainted! I was played as a monkey by myself! In a fit of rage, he ordered all the Qing soldiers to shoot at the same time, killing a bloody path among the tenant crowd.
There was interception in front, and there were chasing soldiers in the rear, and the Qing soldiers and regimental warriors were desperately moving forward. Although the tenants numbered in the thousands, they still did not dare to come forward and fight, and spread out a narrow passage. Lu Jiyun was overjoyed and hurriedly urged everyone to pass quickly.
At this moment, Luo Qiongshu, who was chasing and killing behind, asked hundreds of guards around him to shout loudly in unison: "Kill the Qing Demon!" The general said, kill a Qing demon, and the holy country will divide him with an acre of fertile land! ”
As soon as the tenants heard the reward for killing the Qing demon Youtian, their faces suddenly showed greed, staring at a famous Qing army who was passing, as if an acre of fertile land was slipping away from their hands, and they were ruthless at the moment, and they didn't know who shouted "Kill his mother, I want Tian!" Then he picked up the wooden stick in his hand and hit the Qing soldiers bravely, with a beginning, all the tenants rushed to kill the past, for a while, it was not at all like the usual honest and timid appearance, fierce and abnormal!
Lu Jiyun was stupefied. These tenants came into a madness, and the eight hundred or so Qingyong he threw were drowned in the sea of madness. Several Qing soldiers were beaten to death with sticks by more than a dozen tenants, and they were robbed of waist knives, and finally even their heads were snatched up.
Lu Jiyun and the other two regimental leaders did not escape their fate. They were beaten to death by the frantically rushing tenants, and they were dismembered into several large pieces, and at last it was impossible to figure out who it belonged to.
Xiao Yaji's screams were completely ignored. He was dumbfounded. Looking at these familiar faces, he suddenly felt that he was not dreaming? The few tenants who were crying and screaming to flee just now frantically chopped off the heads of the Qing soldiers, without any fear or discomfort at all. Until the Qing army was all killed, these tenants were still arguing over whose part belonged to.
It's such a crazy world, it's such a crazy day!
Luo Qiongshu was also intimidated!
He also realized the temptation of the villagers to divide the land from the enthusiasm of the people in Guilin to join the army. Therefore, when he saw that these tenants could not stop the Qing soldiers, he had an idea and asked everyone to tempt the tenants by shouting the words of killing the Qing demon and having a field. Unexpectedly, this division of land would be so attractive to tenants who had rented landlords' land for a long time, causing them to look like crazy demons and be so cruel!
A group of rabble, who were originally extremely cowardly, actually killed more than 800 Qing soldiers with weapons such as sticks and iron forks, leaving not a single one alive. If they were all of this kind of combat power, then the three thousand holy soldiers he led just now would not be able to stop them. The root cause of this is nothing more than the temptation of an acre of land!
Luo Qiongshu led the holy army and followed the tenants into Rongxian County. Unexpectedly, a small border county, where Han and Miao live together, turned out to be a county with a large population. Luo Qiongshu publicized the land system of the Taiping Holy Kingdom, and it was warmly supported by many tenants.
Luo Qiongshu was worried that the number of troops was a little small, so he chose some tenants to recruit into the holy army. The ranks quickly expanded to 12,000 men, and although most of them were newly recruited tenants and Miao people, they were untrained, but they were also outnumbered and impressive. Luo Qiongshu also seized a large number of weapons from the regimental training in Rong'an County and various towns, armed the new holy soldiers, and formed a powerful military force under the leadership of the three thousand old holy soldiers.
At this time, the capital city of Liuzhou, which is more than 160 miles to the south, has been captured by Li Kaifang and others. The two had a division of labor before leaving, and Luo Qiongshu led his troops to divide into two routes, one south and one north, to capture Liucheng and Luocheng County. After the matter of Rongcheng, Luo Qiongshu was much more cautious, and sent troops to investigate carefully, but found that the Qing soldiers in Liucheng had already scattered and fled, leaving only more than 100 regimental trainers to be fooled into defending the city. As soon as the Taiping Holy Army arrived, these regimental exercises hurriedly opened the city gates and buried their heads in surrender.
In this way, he went all the way west to Qingyuan Fucheng, and finally encountered the regular green battalion army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty - Qingyuan Association.
