Without Lu Yide's obstacle, there would be no obstacles to the advance route of the white-clothed army. However, it is really not easy to find Gao Yingxiang in the magnetic kiln village. The 2,000 men of the white-clothed army were scattered in a huge area, and no one could be seen at all. Well, to be precise, you can't see the people you're looking for, but there are a lot of irrelevant people. They found that Xu Xingxia was arriving with the white-clothed army in a menacing manner, and they all hurriedly got out of the way.

It is estimated that Gao Yingxiang should have a lot of oil and water on him, and the soldiers dispatched this time, or the guards and soldiers, are quite positive. According to Ming Hao's report, several Wei commanders and envoys were dispatched in person, and there were countless thousands of households and the like. This is simply not possible without oil and water. This can't help but make Xu Xingxia look forward to it, this Gao Yingxiang, who has been the leader of horse traffickers for many years, maybe he should really have accumulated a lot of money?

No matter what dynasty or generation, no matter what you do, there are laws. If there is oil and water, everyone will compete to do it. No one wants anything without oil and water. The suppression of rebellions and the arrest of anti-thieves are most obvious. If it's the kind of ocean thief who has nothing to do, the kind where one person feeds the whole family and doesn't go hungry, no one wants to work hard. There's no oil or water! Even if you catch someone, the consequences will most likely outweigh the losses.

On the contrary, if it is the kind of large family, if it is found that there is any evidence of crime, there will be more people who are willing to do it. Not to mention whether others have committed crimes, it is the first priority to use the opportunity to move other people's family property to their own treasury. Jinyiwei specializes in this kind of thing. Later, there was another East Factory. The bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty hated Jinyiwei and Dongchang so much, and it was indispensable for this reason. Who wants their hard-earned belongings to be moved away by Jinyiwei or Dongchang?

It's a pity that this time to encircle and suppress Gao Yingxiang, things don't seem to be as smooth as imagined. So many days have passed, and Gao Yingxiang is still nowhere to be found. Even after the arrival of the white-clothed army, this mysterious Gao Yingxiang still did not appear. The officers and soldiers around the magnetic kiln village are actually a little tired, and their morale is not as high as at the beginning. After all, this kind of thing, only the superior officers, ordinary petty soldiers, get the benefits, that is, eat a full meal. In this year, it is also a very good treatment to be able to eat a full meal every day.

Even the white-clothed army itself has been greatly challenged. The more they advanced into the depths of the Magnetic Kiln Village, the more difficulties the white-clothed army encountered. As long as it is human, it is necessary to eat, drink, and sleep. However, there are big problems in this place of magnetic kiln village, whether it is eating, drinking, or sleeping. If you think about it, in a dry place where there is not even a water source, it is really a bit troublesome to ensure that the troops can drink water.

After thinking for a while, Xu Xingxia decided that the troops would be stationed in the Qingshui camp and would never leave again. Qingshui Camp is next to the magnetic kiln village and has plenty of water. The white-clothed army is here waiting for the rabbit, waiting for Gao Yingxiang's arrival. If Gao Yingxiang comes, it will be his good luck. If Gao Yingxiang didn't come, then I'm sorry, I can only say that he was unlucky. I've already arrived at the Qingshui Camp, and you still refuse to come forward, what else can I do?

Near the Qingshui camp, a large number of Ming troops have long been stationed. They are all here to prepare to replenish the water supply. In order to protect the three wells of the Qingshui battalion, the Ming army also stationed troops here. Ma Shilong's army happens to be part of it. And after Lu Yide retreated, he also came to the Qingshui camp with his troops. When Xu Xingxia led the army here, he met Lu Yide again. When enemies see each other, they are naturally very red-eyed.

"Bastard! It's too much of a deception! Lu Yide was angry again.

This time to encircle and suppress Gao Yingxiang, the large camp of the official army was set up in the Qingshui camp. Xu Xingxia killed Qingshui Camp at this time, and he was basically preparing for a face-to-face provocation with the officials and soldiers. As the supreme commander of the official army, Lu Yide's anger in his heart can be imagined. In addition to being angry, he felt the bitterness in his mouth deeply. This damn Xu Xingxia is really arrogant! Relying on his own 2,000 white-clothed troops, he dared to be overbearing and unscrupulous.

However, he had to admit bitterly that Xu Xingxia did have the strength to be domineering and unscrupulous! The combat effectiveness of the white-clothed army was not boasted, but in the battle with the Tatar cavalry, shot by bullet. The caravan of Tartar corpses is not something that can be easily fooled by killing good people and risking their merits. In the history of Ningxia Town, and even in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a strong army! The Qi family army back then, purely in terms of combat effectiveness, was far inferior to the Xu family army!

Now, this damn Xu Xingxia, whose ghost is still lingering, actually fights the idea of Qingshui Camp! This made Lu Yide feel that he no longer had any bottom line to back from. The more he retreated, the more Xu Xingxia had to make inches. He can't give up his camp to Xu Xingxia, right? If you run away when you see Xu Xingxia, do you want to live in the future? I'm afraid that all his subordinates will take refuge in Xu Xingxia, right? Fortunately, after taking a turn in Qingshui Camp, Lu Yide's heart finally stabilized a little.

Hmph, do you think Shimizu Camp is also easy to bully? You're wrong! Camp Shimizu has cannons! Are the muskets of your white-clad army even more powerful than our cannons? After Lu Yide inspected the Qingshui camp, his biggest gain was to find more than a dozen artillery pieces. The Qingshui camp was originally stationed in a thousand households, and there were more than a dozen old Franc machine guns on the head of the city. Although I haven't used it before, I don't know if it can still be used. However, artillery is artillery after all, and its power is definitely incomparable to Xu Jiajun's musket.

"Find a craftsman!" Lu Yide immediately sent someone to repair the artillery, and then tested it, and as a result, he was pleased to find that his luck was not bad. At each gate, there are at least three cannons that can be used. This means that if the Xu Jiajun forcibly launches an attack, they will definitely suffer from these artillery hits. This made Lu Yide feel that there was suddenly an extra sharp blade in his hand, which could easily cut through the strength of the Xu family's army.

"Fire!" In order to boost morale and deter the Xu family's army, Lu Yide immediately ordered the artillery to be fired. He wanted Xu Xingxia to weigh it carefully, whether he still had the ability to attack the Qingshui battalion, and whether he dared to launch a provocation against the officers and soldiers. Just now, he was bullied by Xu Xingxia to the point that he was full of anger, and now he finally has a chance to vent it.

"Tom!"

"Tom!"

"Tom!"

More than a dozen cannons roared intermittently.

The fierce sound of artillery shook the surroundings of the field. In the open field, the rumbling cannon sound is particularly harsh. The soldiers of the Xu family army all subconsciously stopped and observed the place where the shells fell. Looking at it from a distance, solid bullets the size of a fist fell in a mess and kept rolling on the ground. The dust splattered by the solid bullets, a small handful, under the clear sky, looks particularly eye-catching.

Due to the long-term drought, the ground around the Shimizu camp is very dry and hard, and after the solid bounce falls, it will basically be bounced. If someone gets in the way of a solid bullet, they will definitely be smashed to pieces. If the attacker's team is very dense, the bouncing attack of this solid bullet will cause a lot of casualties to the troops.

Wang Xia said in a low voice: "My lord, they have cannons." ”

Xu Xingxia said casually: "No more than twenty at most, what's so scary?" ”

Wang Xia said eagerly: "My lord, shall we attack now?" As long as the Qingshui camp is taken, those turtle grandsons will all have to run away! ”

Xu Xingxia shook his head and said, "There's no need!" We don't need to take down the Qingshui Camp, and these turtle grandsons don't dare to move! Spread the order, and we'll set up camp outside the range of the cannons. Order the Griffons to go out and surround them. ”

He immediately ordered to set up camp near the Qingshui camp. The warriors of the Dragoons and the Tiger Cavalry were stationed in the camp. The soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry were scattered around the Qingshui Battalion to monitor the movements of the Qingshui Battalion. If you find someone inside the Qingshui camp coming out, or if someone from outside wants to enter the Qingshui camp, shoot and expel them immediately. If the eviction is not listened, it will really be shot. Whoever it is, let's kill it.

The Eagle Cavalry and the Eagle Cavalry used to fight together, and they also learned a little bit of the combat skills of stragglers, and the combat ability of individual soldiers is still relatively strong. It's still okay to temporarily pretend to be a skirmish and deal with the Ming army itself. But if it is used against the Tartar cavalry, it is a bit difficult. After all, the Eagle Cavalry is a professional straggler, and they are halfway to the house. But in the long run, both the Eagle Cavalry and the Eagle Cavalry will gradually become the main force of the stragglers.

"Damn it! How so? What is this Xu Xingxia going to do? ”

As a result, Xu Xingxia's hand immediately plunged Qingshui Ying into panic. The people inside tried to get out, but were forcibly expelled by the Eagle Cavalry, and had to go back again. The people outside wanted to enter the Qingshui camp, but they were also forcibly expelled by the Eagle Cavalry and had to leave. The Eagle Cavalry was really forcibly expelled, using completely brutal and brutal force.

They didn't care what the other party was, and they didn't care what the other party had to deal with Shimizu Camp for. In short, those who are inside cannot come out, and those who are outside cannot go in. If they refuse to leave, they shoot directly. This is an order that Xu Xingxia gave them directly, and of course they must strictly implement it.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

A few dull gunshots rang out, and a few uninteresting guys were directly knocked to the ground by Minnie bullets, and the others no longer dared to challenge the majesty of the Eagle Cavalry. Whether it was the heralds in the Qingshui camp who wanted to come out to deliver orders, or the scouts who wanted to go into the Qingshui camp to report the situation, they were all blocked by the Eagle Cavalry from afar. In a sense, the Qingshui camp at this moment is purely isolated.

Lu Yide in the Qingshui camp saw this scene, angry and angry, and helpless. This damn Xu Xingxia is so arrogant that he dares to use such a method. Such behavior is simply shaving his Lu Yide's eyebrows. If he doesn't react at all, I'm afraid that his subordinates will all squint at him. No one wants to follow such a boss, and when he was stepped on at the door, he didn't fight back.

However, Lu Yide really has no good solution to the problem. Xu Xingxia's approach is actually very fatal. If he sent people to rush out to attack the white-clothed army, he would be purely looking for his own death. What's worse is that these cannons erected by the Qingshui battalion are simply impossible to use in the movement. Without the cover of artillery, it was impossible for them to beat the white-clothed army. Lu Yide had already learned the news of the destruction of Wu Datou, and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

In fact, even if there was the cover of the cannon, he had no way to take Xu Xingxia. If there are many people he sends out to attack, Xu Xingxia's people can temporarily retreat, leaving them exhausted and unable to find the north. When they are exhausted, they will attack and destroy them in one fell swoop. If he sent few people, Xu Xingxia's people would swarm up and wipe them out in one fell swoop. You must know that Xu Xingxia's subordinates also have 2,000 people, which is quite a powerful force.

On the contrary, if he stayed in the Qingshui camp honestly, he might be able to keep a little of his troops. Judging from the current situation, Xu Xingxia's meaning is obvious, that is, to isolate the Qingshui Battalion, but there is no plan to directly attack the Qingshui Battalion. In fact, the white-clothed army didn't want to sacrifice too many people, so they didn't choose to attack the Qingshui camp. Otherwise, once the white-clothed army launched a strong attack, how could a few obsolete artillery pieces of the Qingshui battalion be able to stop it?

Time is deadlocked. The cavalry of the Eagle Cavalry patrolled around the Qingshui camp every day, and as long as they found that the people in the Qingshui camp came out, it was a head-on attack. If people from outside were to come in, they would also be hit head-on. Lu Yide took the risk of sending people several times and tried to break out of the blockade of the Eagle Cavalry, but as a result, all the people who came out were killed. After several failed attempts, Lu Yide had to give up painfully.

Equally painful was Ma Shilong. He and Xu Xingxia have different positions, so they naturally look at problems from different angles. He envied Xu Xingxia's military strength, but he was deeply worried about Xu Xingxia's arrogant behavior. Xu Xingxia's behavior, in his eyes, is undoubtedly deviant and will be attacked. But at the same time, he also felt quite dissatisfied with his boss's way of dealing with problems. If the top handles it a little better, why would Xu Xingxia rebel? He can serve the imperial court!

Time passed day by day. The Qingshui camp was completely isolated, Lu Yide's order could not be sent out, and the Ming troops around the Ciyao Village were all in a state of leaderlessness, and the encirclement of the Ciyao Village was slowly relaxed. After about five or six days, there was finally movement. One night, a group of people who came out of the magnetic kiln village confronted the scouts of the white-clothed army. After the identity of both parties was confirmed, it was Gao Yingxiang and others.
