Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 131 Fugui and Rogge

Just like Zhang Xianzhong said, "All things are born with humans, and humans have nothing with heaven. Kill, kill, kill."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Zhu Cixi left Dawang Village, he could only hear Du Yingying's voice of thanks.

But he didn't have time to think about this little beauty, because he still had to continue chasing Tong Mengchun, and if he didn't completely wipe out this group of Qing troops, Zhu Cihong wouldn't be able to sleep well even at night.

The cavalry's long-distance raiding ability is very strong. If these Qing army cavalry go back to rest for a few days, they can fight back from Huaiqing Mansion in one night. No matter how powerful the army is, it cannot withstand such a waste of time.

"Zhang Chao and Zhang Zhong, set off as a team and continue to track Tong Mengchun's direction, letting the soldiers eat as they go."

Zhu Cihong didn't have time to let the soldiers eat steamed buns and sesame cakes slowly. Now that time was running out, each person had a steamed bun, and they could eat two bites quickly on horseback to fill their stomachs.

Facts have proved that Zhu Cihong's decision is extremely correct, because at this very moment someone is giving his life for his great cause, stopping Tong Mengchun and the others at all costs.

"Fugui, are they here?" Rogge asked Fugui, leaning on a big tree.

"Come on, the heroes and volunteers from the nearby villages are coming soon." After Fugui said that, he got off his horse, came to a pit that had been dug, and put a body on his back into it.

This was carried over by Fugui from the battlefield just now, because after the war, Han Guang and the others hurriedly collected the armor and weapons and set off to chase Tong Mengchun, and they had no time to care about those corpses.

Even if they had time, they would not care about it, because those Mandarins would not regard this place as their own land, and these dead people would rot due to the high temperature, or even cause plague, it had nothing to do with them.

"Oh, Master Ji is a good man, he threw away his belongings and his life for the sake of the court." Rogge couldn't help but sighed as he looked at Ji Guangxiu's body lying in the pit.

Recruiting volunteers, equipping them, and training them cost a lot of money. Although they were funded by rich businessmen from across the county, at least half of Ji Guangxiu's belongings were thrown into it.

Rogge, who had stayed in Fengqiu for a while, was clearly aware of this point.

"It's all over. Why are you talking about this when the people are gone?"

"What we have to do now is to obey His Majesty's order and block those Tartars. They want to pass and leave Fengqiu unless they step over my chest."

What Fugui didn't say was that he also did this to avenge his master Ji Guangxiu. As Ji Guangxiu's long-term follower, he had been raised in Ji's family since he was a child and accompanied Ji Guangxiu as he grew up.

When Ji Guangxiu was studying, he fanned by the side. When Ji Guangxiu was rushing to take exams, he carried Ji Guangxiu's luggage. When he was hungry on the way, they slept in the wilderness, and Fugui stayed up all night. Ji Guangxiu kept vigil.

Obviously, Fugui is a qualified loyal servant, a Chinese-style servant who should appear in the storybook, but there is one thing he does not do well enough.

That is, he did not die in front of his master. Fugui blamed himself for this, so he came to work with Rogge to gather the people in the village to stop Tong Mengchun's troops.

As for conveying the news of Ji Guangxiu's death to Yue Qijie, just send someone to do it.

"Brother, a small team of Tartars is coming." A bearded and strong man suddenly came here and said to Rogge.

"I'll go and have a look." Seeing the Qing army coming, Rogge had no choice but to instruct Fu Gui to bury Ji Guangxiu hastily, as there would be no time for a battle.

Arriving at a small hill, Rogge climbed on it and observed the Eight Banners Cavalry galloping in from a distance.

He didn't expect that the Eight Banners soldiers would still be able to maintain a normal march after being defeated by the emperor's own army, and even sent scouts to scout the situation ahead.

Because during the years when Rogge served as a soldier in Xuanfu Military Town, he had never seen what the Eight Banners looked like when they were defeated.

"How's the situation?" Fugui came to Rogge's side after burying Ji Guangxiu hastily.

"Only a team of scouts came." Rogge said to Fugui.

"I think it's better not to alert the enemy. If they send scouts, they will go here. If they are alerted, maybe they will change their route."

Rogge believed that they should hold back for a while and wait until most of the Qing army passed by before they came out.

Never thought that Fugui would unequivocally oppose him, "No."

"The only thing that can be covered here is a small mound and a small forest. The ravines on both sides of the road can't hide too many people. They will find us as soon as they pass by."

"As far as I can see, the only option is to kill them and not keep any of them." When he said this, Fugui's eyes were as cold and ruthless as a poisonous snake.

Hearing what Fugui said, Rogge nodded in agreement, so he and Fugui each led a hundred people holding branches and straw as cover, and hid in the ravines on both sides of the road, waiting for the scouts from the Qing army to arrive.

Not long after Rogge and the others got ready, a group of Eight Banners, all wearing red helmets and red armors, came over.

"Jia Laer is really cowardly. These Han people are lambs. How could they have the courage to ambush us? I want to lie on the bullock cart and rest for a while."

An old Eight Banners soldier on horseback said listlessly, completely forgetting his panicked look just now.

"That's right, I've been exhausted these past two days. I really want to go back to the capital of the Han people. The women there are so tender that they can squeeze water."

An Eight Banners soldier who was less than twenty years old said to himself, obviously when he followed the regent into the capital, he left many good memories there.

It's a pity that before they could continue to imagine, Rogge and Fugui, who had been lying in wait for a long time in the gully, jumped out. The two of them took the lead and threw the two Eight Banners soldiers off their horses, and then rolled on the ground a few times. Desperately tearing up with fists.

Those Eight Banners didn't expect that there were so many people hidden in the ravines on both sides of the road, and they were surrounded by people pouring out from all directions in a short while.

There are ravines on both sides of the roads in the north, whether in the countryside or in the market, although there may not be water in them most of the time, they are always kept in order to have water when needed and to facilitate drainage of farmland.

Because there will be water flowing in the gully from time to time, so it is rich in nutrients, and there are many weeds and reeds growing there. In addition, Rogge and the others use branches and straw to cover their figures, so these Eight Banners soldiers unexpectedly not found.

"Get them off their horses quickly, don't let them run away." Rogge saw that most people were just surrounding and did not dare to step forward, so he shouted at them.
