As a result, it took three or four times more time than during the day before the team gathered together. If it were normal, Liu Haikuan might have had a sensation. But at this time, he was not in this mood and directly asked the soldiers to bring enough torches and hurry onto the road.

Liu Haikuan thought very well. He thought that the enemy was not far from him. As long as he rushed over overnight, drove them all down the Jialing River, and he would be able to win!

But in his excitement, he forgot one thing, that is, the mountain road is not easy to walk on! In addition, he was walking on the night road again, and soldiers fell to the ground from time to time, stirring the team into a ball! The speed was not fast at all!

So when the marching was in a state of terror, Liu Haikuan had to order the team to stop and rest. At this time, Liu Haikuan, who was excited, also understood that if he ran over overnight according to his original idea, the team would probably not have much combat power when they arrived at the destination!

So while resting, Liu Haikuan sent someone to send letters to several other camps, asking them to come over to get along with him. At that time, they can defeat the enemy's camp by relying on the advantage of the number of people.

Liu Haikuan heard the spy carefully describe the fleet. He estimated that the fleet would not transport many people. As long as he gathered enough personnel, he would be sure to win!

When it was dawn, Liu Haikuan asked the soldiers to eat some dry food and continue on the way. At the same time, he also sent a large number of spies to protrude to the front to reconnaissance.

At noon, the spies finally reported the news that someone was intercepting them and that one side was suffering heavy casualties! But when the enemy saw that one side had a large number of people, they fled to the riverside in battle.

Liu Haikuan thought about it in his mind and completely understood where the Shandong military landing place was! But he didn't understand why the other party chose such a narrow place to land? There was only one possibility, that is, the other party had a small number of people and could not defend a large-scale landing site! Thinking of this, this discovery made Liu Haitao full of confidence in future victory!

But when he arrived at the Qiqitao landing site, he was stunned! Because there was a nearly complete camp in front of him!

There is a trumpet-shaped open space between the two hills. The open space has been repaired

Build a high village wall! Although you can't see if there is a village wall behind, Liu Haikuan is sure that there are more than one village wall here!

Moreover, almost all the trees on the mountains on both sides were cut off and made into three wooden fences that rely on the mountains! There are also wooden sheds with arrows on the wooden fence, and you can also see dense heads gathering behind the wooden fence.

Moreover, the number in front of the entire camp was almost cut down, which could not be blocked from the soldiers' advance. There were more than a dozen piles of stones on it. It seemed that these more than a dozen piles of gravel were used as obstacles to prevent the soldiers from charging.

After seeing the terrain, Liu Haikuan knew it in his heart. Although he was not from a general, he was just an ordinary farmer. However, after so many years of war, he already understood how to fight.

He knew that it was almost impossible to hit the front line of defense! If you want to take this camp, you have to take at least one of the hills on both sides. But when he looked at the cannons and dense heads on the top of the mountain, Liu Haikuan felt very heavy in his heart!

He knew that the battle was not as easy as expected. But since the other party had already gained a foothold, he was not in a hurry that day. So he began to arrange some soldiers to guard them, some soldiers rest, and the other to cut down trees and make wooden shields. He knew that the other party was very good at using firearms. Perhaps the heavy wooden shield could cover the soldiers to climb up the hill.

It was not until noon that there were about 8,000 people gathered in his camp. Other troops would soon gather here, so he decided to carry out a tentative attack.

More than 2,000 soldiers began to slowly lean towards the hill on the right behind the good wooden shield. The soldiers in the front row held heavy wooden shields, while the other soldiers behind held various weapons.

This time, Liu Haikuan did not send out archers at all. Because on the one hand, there were fewer archers in his hands. On the other hand, when he attacked upward, he could not shoot far, not to mention that the other party also set up a shed to defend against arrows.

The soldiers didn't carry a heavy wooden shield and carefully approached the hillside and began to climb from bottom to top. The mountain itself was rugged, and the Shandong soldiers threw a lot of stones and squinted on the ground, which made the ground even more uneven.

It is even more difficult for the soldiers to walk. Fortunately, this hill is not tall and still persists in living.

But what is surprising is that the cannon placed on the top of the other party’s mountain did not fire. Liu Haikuan understood the other party’s thoughts and couldn’t help but feel angry in his heart! The other party clearly didn’t look down on him, and he was too lazy to shoot the cannon!

In fact, he really guessed it right! Qi Qitao felt that the soldiers of the Western Army in front of him did not pose a threat to him at all, so in order to save ammunition, he asked the artillery not to fire. After all, he had to wait until the next time the ammunition was replenished, and the next time the fleet arrived.

Seeing the Great Western Army walking up the hillside, the soldiers behind the wooden fence were really a little embarrassed! Because these 30,000 people came from Chengdu, they were not elite soldiers at all! Their weapons were complete, but they were not even uniform in costumes, and there were not even 30% of the soldiers wearing armor! Many people only wore leather armor or were simply clothed!

The soldiers here have fought with the Qing army and the Dashun army, and they have no desire to kill such soldiers at all. However, the officers do not care about the soldiers' thoughts. In their opinion, the enemy is the enemy, and they either surrender or die!

After the officer estimated that the Daxi Army had almost been close to a hundred steps away from the first row of wooden fences, he ordered the soldiers to prepare for the design. The musket soldiers set their fires down and set the muskets on the wooden fences, pointing the black muzzle at the Daxi Army at their feet.

Soon, the officer shouted: "Shoot!" Then the first round of muskets were fired!

The first round of shooting was expected to have almost no effect, and only four people were killed and injured! One reason was that the distance was too far, and the other reason was that the heavy wooden shields also took effect.

This discovery made the soldiers of the Western Army happy and even accelerated their pace a little. But they did not notice that the soldiers on the mountain didn't care about them at all! They just casually retreated and replaced the second row of soldiers and stepped forward.
Chapter completed!
