Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 82 Li Yi: I am loyal? Are you sure?!
As soon as Niu Jinxi finished speaking, his son Niu Bao responded immediately and prepared to lead the militia out of the mountains to fight the bandits with great enthusiasm.

Young people are inherently naive.

After listening to his father's story, he couldn't help but imagine himself becoming a great general, leading his troops to fight against the bandits, making great contributions, being awarded an official position and title by the court, and then returning home in glory.

Emotions are bound to be high!

Niu Jinxi was happy to see this and also led his men to follow.

A group of people rushed out of the valley of Laoniugou in a mighty manner, but just as they turned the corner, a servant of the Niu family came running over from a distance.

The servant started shouting from a distance.

"Something bad has happened, sir! Something bad has happened!"

"The soldiers...the soldiers have been defeated..."

When Niu Jinxi heard this, his face changed immediately. He was somewhat worried that the words of the servant who came to report the news would cause a riot among the militia.

He immediately started to scold.

"Stop talking nonsense! It's only been a short time, how could the soldiers be defeated so quickly?"

However, the servant failed to understand the deeper meaning of Niu Jinxi's words, and continued to speak with a look of fear on his face.

"Master, I'm not talking nonsense, what I said...what I said is all true!"

"The officers and soldiers...the officers and soldiers are really defeated!"

"I saw it with my own eyes. As soon as the soldiers and bandits met, the bandits fired a few volleys of shots, and the soldiers' formation was thrown into disarray."

"The bandits charged one after another, and the officers and soldiers were completely defeated. Now the bandits are chasing after the fleeing officers and soldiers and killing them..."

When Niu Jinxi heard this, he felt as if his spine had been pulled out. If his son had not been quick to catch him, Niu Jinxi would have almost collapsed to the ground.

After listening to the servant's statement, Niu Jinxi said in a daze.

"This...this is impossible!"

"How could the soldiers be defeated so quickly? I don't believe it! This must be fake!"

Just as Niu Jinxi was stunned, the news that the officers and soldiers had suffered a defeat spread rapidly among the militia he led.

In an instant, these militiamen, who were already a motley crowd, began to panic, and many of them could not help but look hesitant.

Some people even wanted to turn around and run away!

Seeing this, Niu Jinxi shouted at the top of his voice, trying to make amends.

"Don't panic! Everyone, don't panic! Don't be scared by the bandits!"

"The soldiers were not defeated. They were not defeated at all. They just temporarily moved back and retreated."

"As long as we persist in fighting and inflict heavy damage on the invading bandits, the retreating officers and soldiers will soon send support to join forces with us to defeat the bandits..."

However, things had come to this point, and no one would listen to Niu Jinxi even if he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Including his son, everyone now looks panicked and frightened.

Soon, a cloud of smoke appeared at the end of the distant horizon.

Soon, a large flying flag with the word "Li" on it appeared in everyone's sight.

The big flag was fluttering, and the blood-red flag seemed to be dyed red by blood, which made people feel frightened at the first sight.

In just a moment, before the two sides, who were hundreds of meters apart, even had time to engage in battle, the militia led by Niu Jinxi was directly disbanded...

One by one, the militia members dropped their weapons and fled across the mountains and plains.

……

The battle is over.

After the militia in Laoniugou was defeated, Li's army pursued and killed them directly into Laoniugou.

After the battle, Feng Zicai and Yang Ke followed an old soldier to clean up the battlefield.

Gather all the weapons scattered on the battlefield, count and organize them simply, and prepare them for the army's use.

The current Li family army is limited in the use of Li Yi's golden finger.

As well as the production lines for arms and weapons, they are still under construction and exploration and have not yet been put into large-scale production.

In addition, the troops are still expanding.

Therefore, there is a big gap in weapons and equipment.

These muskets, swords and spears seized from the militia can all be used.

Although the militia was a group of rabble, the muskets, swords and spears they used were of decent quality.

At least it should be better than the standard equipment of the Qing army. After all, it is for their own use, so the quality must not be too bad.

Using the muskets, swords and spears used by the militia is definitely more reliable than using the standard equipment captured from the Qing army.

Feng Zicai stood in the crowd, counting the spoils, and couldn't help but be amazed.

Wasn't this battle won too easily?
The enemy was defeated before the battle even started.

He couldn't help but think of that incident...

During this period of time, word has been spread among the army that their general Li Yi has the destiny.

Feng Zicai was skeptical about this, thinking that the top brass of Li's army were playing tricks to stabilize the morale of the troops.

But looking at the current situation, it seems to be true...

Because ever since he joined Li Yi, he has won every battle very easily.

Feng Zicai couldn't help but ask Yang Ke who was standing beside him.

"Old Yang, do you think our general really has a destiny? I feel like this is a bit weird."

Yang Ke smacked his lips and said.

"It's hard to say how much, but our general's luck is indeed a bit uncanny..."

Yang Ke began to recount the battle achievements of Li Yi that he had learned from the army.

Including the battle of Shanren Village, Li Yi took advantage of the opportunity to capture the Qing army's Xunzhou deputy general.

He attacked Xunzhou three times and all three raids were successful.

In the Battle of Dahuangjiangkou, Li's army was already trapped in a tight encirclement and was about to be killed, but the Qing army's main general suddenly died, and then Li's army successfully broke through.

When the army was trapped in Zijing Mountain and was about to run out of food, a batch of food miraculously appeared in the military camp...

These things were witnessed by many people, or even experienced personally, so they cannot be false.

Feng Zicai was amazed when he heard about Li Yi's legendary experience.

"Fuck, this isn't destiny, this is obviously God's own son, okay?"

"It seems that after we were captured in Xunzhou, we made the right decision to join the Li family army. Who knows, we might even become a founding hero in the future."

Yang Ke nodded in agreement.

The reason is simple: Li Yi's past achievements are too convincing.

……

Guiyi Town, Li’s army camp.

Inside the big tent, Li Yi sat behind the desk, in front of him was a letter from Yong'an.

The signature is Feng Yunshan!

In the letter, Feng Yunshan expressed that this was to commend Li Yi for his series of great achievements, including conquering Xunzhou three times, capturing Xunzhou deputy general Li Dianyuan alive, blowing up Guizhou general Zhou Fengqi, and killing the Qing demon Guangzhou deputy governor Ulan Tai in battle.

To commend Li Yi for his loyalty and devotion to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Under the strong persuasion of everyone, Hong Xiuquan prepared to crown Li Yi as king.

The king's title is King Zhong!
He asked Li Yi to lead the team to Yong'an immediately to prepare to receive the title.

Although Feng Yunshan also knew that Li Yi would most likely not go to Yong'an, this did not prevent him from testing Li Yi in his letters.

What if Li Yi can really be tricked into coming?
Anyway, this thing doesn't cost much, and even if it fails, it's just a waste of ink and paper.

Looking at the letter, Li Yi was a little confused.

I?
Loyalty?
