Several small fortresses were gradually built in the south.
Some of the refugees gradually felt at ease, thinking that Liaodong had already had such officials and soldiers, so it would not have caused such a big rebellion.
But the spies among the refugees don't think so.
I was a refugee in the Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin Dynasty, living like a slave. If I served my masters, my family would have the opportunity to live a good life. Those who had no family would still have the opportunity to get married and have children.
He even promised to carry the flag for meritorious service. After all, there were a certain number of Han people in the Eight Banners. Although they did not wear Han clothes, they did become masters.
Before everyone set off, Sibeile often asked the Han people in the flag and the slaves of the coatmen to carry the flag to encourage the coatmen.
Even if it is an empty promise, this is what the traitors dream about at night, and now that they see an opportunity, they are ready to make a move.
There are only 500 Sichuan soldiers responsible for supervising construction and patrolling, while there are more than 3,000 refugees south of Tieling, scattered among several fort construction sites.
So some spies began to contact each other and discuss plans to destroy the Ming army and escape back to Houjin.
There are also various rumors spread:
... Now build a fortress with some food and drink, but once the construction is completed, everyone will be useless...
...The refugees were brought to the front line to die. The fortress is so small. If the Ming army entered the fortress in a real fight, all the refugees would become cannon fodder...
...After working, you will be abandoned and starved to death, and when you start fighting, you will be abandoned and killed. It is better to take refuge in the slave-building, and there is still a way to survive...
Although not a majority responded to them, these spies were not that high in IQ and were not good at hiding, otherwise they would not have been directly screened out as suspects by the Southern Army.
But they are very reckless and very courageous, and they are very motivated to raise the flag.
They didn't know that someone in the Ming army had invested in Hou Jin, nor did they know that Sun Qing and Wang Hongyu had different purposes and were waiting for them to take action.
Anyway, the Ming army's supervision was very lax, so they just took the lead and ran away.
"Run!"
Nearly a hundred spies took the lead, and hundreds of people followed and ran away. The Ming army happened to be lazy and escaped from the surveillance at once, and fled to the slave building.
Sun Qing saw him and said to Fan Wencai: "Sir, please write for me as a ghostwriter and quickly write a letter against the Southern Army."
Then he said to Fan Wencheng: "Please contact the masters' army quickly and let them take advantage of the chaos to destroy this Ming army."
Fan Wencheng said: "We can just sue at this time. If we make the matter bigger, it will not be conducive to the subsequent capture of Shenyang City."
"Oh my god, why are you so hesitant? Even your brother said this is a good idea."
Fan Wencheng glanced at his brother. Fan Wencai didn't dare to look at him, but he muttered: "Hurry up and ask the masters to come and destroy this group of Sichuan soldiers. We can consider it a meritorious service."
"Huh? Brother, have you forgotten the core mission assigned by Sibeile?"
"If you keep lurking in fear, you never know when something will happen. Why don't you make a small contribution and go back..." Fan Wencai doesn't want to climb up as much as Fan Wencheng does, and of course he doesn't want to go back to Shenyang to lurk.
"Hmph..." Fan Wencheng felt that this brother was too disappointing and was even holding him back.
"Huh!" Sun Qing pushed Fan Wencheng back and asked Fan Wencai to take his close servants to contact Hou Jin.
He wrote the letter against Sichuan soldiers himself~
He glared at Fan Wencheng, after so many years of smuggling, who still can't write two words?
Fan Wencheng didn't change his expression and seemed to accept all this.
But there were ripples of hatred in his heart, and his ambitions swelled, and he weaved one evil conspiracy after another.
"A mere guerrilla with such a few people... dares to show his face to me.
If you don't listen to my plan, then I don't have to save you. Just die if you want...
That stupid brother thought he could get some cooperation from me... hmph, then being a bait is his greatest value!"
Fan Wencheng is so cruel that he can abandon anyone around him.
Fellow townspeople are no exception, and brothers are no exception. Even if my wife cheats on others and is humiliated, she is no exception...
Because in his world, he only surrenders to the strong, only fights for ambition and status, and only those who conspire and scheme can have fun...
"Sichuan Army Staff General Zhou Dunji, right? You are worthy of being my opponent~"
…
Ah sneeze~
Zhou Dunji sneezed and felt like someone was talking about him viciously.
"General, General Wang Qian has sent someone here."
"Oh? So fast."
Zhou Dunji immediately saw the messenger sent by Wang Hongyu, and his pupils shrank when he saw the letter.
"Good fellow, the thief has taken action so quickly. It's good that our southern army was ordered to detect the spies outside the city, and now we are going to make a great contribution."
He said to the messenger: "You can find a good horse and return the favor quickly. Just say that my brother will never let him down."
"yes!"
Zhou Dunji wrote another letter to Liaodong Inspector Zhang Quan. After sending it, he immediately went to Chen Ce and others to send troops.
...
"It's finally time for the cavalry to take action!"
Wang Hongyu looked at his precious two sentry cavalry.
The first sentry is a scout positioning, all members are lightly armored, practicing riding and shooting, they are elite light cavalry.
The other sentry was all heavily armored and practiced charging, hand-to-hand combat and arrow defense. Not only was it the only heavily armored cavalry in the Confederate army, but under the training of veterans of You Shiwei, its strength was comparable to the strongest cavalry on the three sides.
"Remember the action slogan?"
"Remember! Split up!"
"Yes! Split up the action! The one who escapes is the spy who knows the intelligence of our army!"
Two cavalry sentries roared out, 150 cavalry and 300 horses, one man and two cavalry, chasing and killing the fleeing spies.
The first actual battle of this cavalry will make the slave-building slaves bleed like rivers of blood.
Qingqi was extremely fast. After discovering these spies, he did not rush to take action. Instead, he drove the spies together like a flock of sheep.
The spies who originally ran away in small groups were gradually driven into small groups of dozens or dozens of people, and the small groups were then driven into several large groups with hundreds of people.
Of course, some of the spies are good at martial arts, and some have stolen tools and weapons. They are already bold and good at inciting, and they will not sit still and wait to be killed now.
"Brothers, fight with them!"
"They are all light cavalry and vulnerable to attack!"
"Minggu has less than a hundred riders, but we have hundreds of people!"
"kill!"
Nearly a hundred spies took the lead in the charge, and the others also knew there was no way back and rushed forward together.
A horse whistle sounded.
The light cavalry would not foolishly fight with them and retreat in an orderly manner.
Moreover, they were not in a hurry to evacuate, but instead walked the spies like dogs, riding and shooting to kill the leader, communicating with horse whistles, and changing formation at any time.
Half of them are cavalry newly trained from the Sichuan Army infantry.
The riding skills are still a bit rusty. I have just mastered horse riding and shooting, and I am just learning to communicate with horse whistles. But this time I used spies to practice in actual combat, and I became more and more proficient with it.
They already had a blood feud with Jiannu, but once they became proficient, they killed more vigorously than the Gansu veterans, and quickly defeated two hundred enemies.
This cavalry has improved again through actual combat.
