Taoshuping was the final place of defeat set by Yun Zhao for the fleeing Pu Demeng. What Li Fugui's fifth battalion wanted to do was to intercept Pu Demeng who was fleeing all the way here and annihilate them all.

Here, we then reunited with Wang Qiang's troops, marched directly into Zhaotong, and then advanced towards Xingling.

Li Fugui finally arrived at Taoshuping after a day and night of urgent marching. During this day and night, he and his soldiers slept for less than four hours, and their physical strength was almost at its limit. At this time, the five thousand soldiers who set out

There were already less than 2,000 people arriving here. Almost at the same time, more than 1,000 defeated soldiers led by Pu Demeng arrived here.

The soldiers of the fifth battalion seemed to have been washed by water, breathing heavily. The pockmarks on Li Fugui's face seemed to light up. His two thousand soldiers were now exhausted, and the enemy's condition

It seems that he is much better than himself, but this battle must be fought, and it must be won.

Looking at the soldiers who seemed to be unable to fight, Li Fugui knew that he had no way out. He climbed up to a peach tree next to him, and with a swing of his big knife, he chopped off all the branches near his body. He just stood there like that.

On the top of the peach tree, he looked at his two thousand exhausted soldiers.

"Brothers, do you want the land?" he shouted, waving his broadsword.

The tired soldiers were refreshed. As members of the Gaoshan tribe, they had just come down from the mountain. They were extremely poor. The land they had just been allocated was not much, because more and more Gaoshan tribe members were coming down from the mountain. Gaoyang and the five western counties

There is no more land left.

"want!"

"We have defeated the enemy on the opposite side. Each of you will have ten acres of land." Li Fugui was overjoyed to see the soldiers who were refreshed. "This is what General Yun said to me personally. After this battle, as long as we win,

Everyone has ten acres of land. If you die in the battle, the reward will be doubled to your family. If you are disabled, the reward will be doubled to you."

"Okay!" someone yelled.

"Besides land, what else do you want?"

"Silver!" someone shouted loudly.

"Well said. If you win this battle, you will receive twenty taels of silver per person. This is what General Yun promised. If you die, quadruple it. If you die, double it. From now on, you can still travel from Anqing.

You will receive a generous pension from the army until you die of old age." Li Fugui danced around and wrote a big bad check. There was a pension, but the reward of silver and land were all he talked about in vain.

"Fight, fight, fight!" The soldiers' eyes were red with the temptation of these huge rewards for them. In the past, they fought for the tribal leaders, and the spoils belonged to the leaders. What they got was their own. If they died in battle, it would be in vain.

After death, compared to now, it is a huge difference.

"Kill. Kill, kill!"

"What else do you want?" Li Fugui shouted excitedly, "Say it and I will accept it."

"I want a woman!" a bearded soldier roared, causing the surrounding people to burst into laughter.

Li Mazi was stunned. "Damn it, I don't have women. But now that we have money and land, are we still afraid that we won't have women? Do you think so?"

"Yes, I want money and land!" the soldiers roared.

Li Fugui turned around, pointed his sword in the direction of Pu Demeng's men, and shouted: "Look, what are they?"

"It's the enemy!" the soldiers shouted together.

"What are they?" Li Fugui asked again.

"They are silver!" someone boldly shouted.

"They are my land!"

"They are my women!"

Li Fugui laughed, "Brothers, what are we waiting for? Kill them all for our money, our natives, and our women."

"Kill them all!" nearly two thousand soldiers shouted in unison, their previous fatigue gone at this moment.

Li Fugui jumped down from the tree, raised his sword high, and stood at the front of the team, "Brothers, come on!"

Pu Demeng was also very tired, and the soldiers under his command were even more tired. Although he could see the pursuers behind him, Pu Demeng was certain that his opponent was definitely chasing him. As long as he stopped, the opponent would catch up with him. With his current strength,

, morale, once the enemy catches up, there is only one way to die. He can only grit his teeth, move forward, and move forward again. In one day and one night, he only rested two or three hours more than Li Fugui.

However, when he arrived at Shushuping and saw the flag of the Anqing Army flying there, his eyesight went dark and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. But soon, he discovered that the number of the opponent was not many, and it seemed that there were not many in number.

They are still tired.

"Brothers, if you want to live, go over there and kill them all. Only when you return to Zhaotong can you have a way to survive!" Pu Demeng roared, raised his iron gun, leaped forward on his horse, and killed the fifth battalion of the Anqing border army coming from the opposite side.

go.

One group is trying to survive, while the other group is a desperate desperado who wants to live a good life. The two sides have almost the same number of people and similar physical strength. For different goals, they are fiercely charging at each other at this time. The swords rise and fall.

The gun flew into the air, broken legs and arms flew in the air, and the peach trees sprayed red with blood.

"Kill!" The broadsword in Li Fugui's hand was slashing horizontally and vertically. A dozen soldiers around him, each holding a broadsword, lined up in two neat rows behind him, shouting and slashing neatly. They had seen this in Anqing.

The dozen or so Mo Swordsmen who arrived there were not as powerful as Mo Swordsmen, but they had acquired a dozen ordinary broadswords and imitated the Mo Swordsmen's fighting techniques, which seemed pretty decent.

This was a battle that was extremely chaotic. Both sides had almost no tactics and strategies. Even if they had, with the current physical strength and consciousness of the soldiers, they could not realize it. Some of them were just an almost instinctive fight. They wanted to survive.

You must cut down the opponent. Evenly matched, there is nothing anyone can do.

They were minced and killed together like this, on the peach branch terrace for several hours, under the peach trees and peaches, until blood flowed like a river. From time to time, ripe peaches were knocked to the ground, or were smashed.

Every tree fell to the ground, and the white and red peaches were crushed to pieces under the big feet and turned into balls of peach mud.

Pu Demeng knew that everything was over. Even if he defeated the Anqing army in front of him, he would definitely have few followers left. Even if he arrived at Zhaotong, he would not be able to help. Breaking through, an idea suddenly popped into his mind, but at this time

, even if he wanted to leave, how could he? At this time, thousands of people on both sides were mixed together. There was me among you, and you among me. It was impossible to distinguish each other.

In the afternoon, the war began to tilt towards Li Fugui's side. It was not Li Fugui who made a unique move, but his soldiers who had previously fallen behind finally came over one after another. The addition of batches of stragglers made Pu Demeng want to break out.

His dream was even more shattered. Looking at the Anqing soldiers who were still coming in the distance, he was completely in despair.

Li Fugui was holding a big knife, his whole body was almost exhausted, and his chest was burning. It seemed that when he opened his mouth, a large mouthful of blood would spurt out. His face also looked a little blue. Damn it, he finally completed the task assigned by the general. Pu Demeng

, you stern ancestor, you can't run away this time, let's see if I don't capture you alive. Looking at the steady stream of our own soldiers coming, Li Fugui took a deep breath, with a smile on his face.

Not to mention how happy I am.

Pu Demeng looked around desperately. There were only more than a hundred soldiers around him at the moment. There were densely packed soldiers outside. The spears in their hands were raised, like a forest of spears approaching step by step. Wherever he looked,

Apart from the gleaming spear, there is only the unreachable sky.

The soldiers surrounding him had a look of despair on their faces, and fear was unreservedly displayed before their eyes. The battle without a glimmer of hope made them basically lose their fighting spirit, their hands and feet were trembling, and they were tired from traveling long distances, just for that.

The courage to fight desperately disappeared at this moment. At this moment, everyone just wanted to lie down, sleep, and never wake up again.

Pu Demeng looked around and saw all the familiar faces. They were his own soldiers. Only they could still surround him in such a cruel battle. Only they could fight until now.

Some soldiers have fallen, including those from the first post

Sentinel General Deng Yang was beaten with an iron rod by an Anqing border soldier until his brains exploded. If it weren’t for the sentry general uniform, no one would have recognized that this man was once a general who commanded a thousand men. At this moment, he was

He was lying there in an extremely weird posture, just like the ordinary soldiers around him.

That's enough, it's over! Pu Demeng sighed, dropped the iron gun in his hand, raised his hands, "We surrender!" He shouted loudly, a trace of humiliation flashed in his eyes, his feet were sore and numb, and he could no longer stand.

, Pu Demeng sat down weakly in a pool of blood.

The forest of guns parted, and Li Fugui walked in with a smile on his face, dragging his sword and saying, "General Pu Demeng Pu, I've heard the name for a long time, I'm Lieutenant Li Fugui of the Anqing Border Military Academy, hahaha, thank you very much!"

Pu Demeng looked at him blankly. He didn't know what the Anqing military captain was thanking him for. Naturally, he didn't know that Yun Zhao once promised Li Fugui that as long as he won another battle, he would be promoted to a guerrilla general. He had been a head hunter since he was a child.

To the guerrilla general, Li Fugui completed this transformation in only half a year.

A rope was tied to the captured soldiers. As a general, Pu Demeng received preferential treatment. Although his hands were tied behind his back, he was given a horse and escorted by a group of soldiers towards Guangchang, where a

A prisoner holding center, where all those who are identified as unsuitable to join the Anqing Army will be sent

Go to the Guangchang Iron Mine to engage in mining labor, and then decide whether to release them based on their performance. The addition of these laborers who do not need to be paid not only reduces the cost of mining, but also allows Yun Zhao to recruit more workers from among the miners.

More strong soldiers joined his army. (To be continued..)
