Thank you very much for seeing through the rewards, thank you

The battle between Tuchenggang was in full swing. Li Yong and other bandits once again gained the upper hand with their fierceness and age. It was not long before they could destroy the troops who dared to ambush them halfway. Suddenly, the sound of thunderous horse hooves went from far to near.

The nine-headed bird brigade led by Liu Jun suddenly appeared, and a nine-headed bird flag fluttered in the wind.

"Nine-headed bird is here"

The shouting sounded on the battlefield, and there were both bandits and ambushers. However, the shouting was completely different. The bandits found that the nine-headed bird suddenly arrived, and their voices were trembling, terrified, and desperate. They still couldn't forget that in just two days, their three thousand soldiers attacked the Hutou Castle, but were almost completely destroyed by the soldiers of this flag. Now they are catching up again.

The ambushers were also shouting for the Nine-Headed Bird, but their shouts were excited, excited, and a joy and ease that would survive the disaster.

"Young Master, the nine-headed bird is here, we are saved." The middle-aged general said to the handsome young master with joy and excitement. The silver-armored young master also sighed and looked at the nine-headed bird flag to be in a daze. In fact, the three hundred clans he led came to rescue the tiger-headed castle at the beginning.

But I came a little late. When I was halfway through, I heard that a bandit riding on horseback came from the Hutou Fort, so I decided to set up an ambush in Tuchenggang, but I almost got killed by the thieves.

There were not many members of the Nine-Headed Birds who arrived, with about 300 people. Almost all the formal members came, and the reserve members stayed in the fort to guard their homes. Fortunately, many war horses were seized this time, so that all the formal members were equipped with horses and galloped all the way to support Huang'an.

The nine-headed bird arrived like a wind. With the sound of horns, the team members stopped riding their horses and dismounted together.

The team members quickly formed a team, with the killer team in front, the mixed formation on both sides, the pure bird gun team in the center, and the gun lifting team and the artillery team in the back.

The trumpet sounded, and the Nine-headed Birds began to move forward.

Every three steps, the Nine-Headed Birds members shouted at the tiger, paused, and then continued to yes. One after another, the morale of the entire Nine-Headed Birds continued to rise.

The team advanced fifty steps towards the enemy, and the horn soldiers blew the swan long speaker.

The swan sounded long, and the musketeers in the neatly arranged Nine-Headed Birds began to get angry. A violent burst sounded, and smoke filled the formation, and then countless screams rang out.

On the chaotic battlefield, a large lead bullet brushed through the silver armored young master's ear and shot a thief who rushed towards him with a knife. He hit the door and knocked half of his face to pieces.

The young master of Silver Armor was shocked. He didn't expect that the Nine-Headed Bird would fire the gun directly. He seemed to be completely unwilling to them in the melee with the enemy. He turned around and saw a horse thief being shot in the chest and falling off the horse.

The voice of the general of the family sounded in his ears, "Young Master, please move aside and separate from the thieves."

The second long sound of the swan sounded again, and another volley shot, and many thieves fell down in front of them.

Screams and wails came one after another, and some bandits no longer cared about attacking the ambush, and they began to flee everywhere. Seeing this, the young master of Silver Armor ignored the dissuasion of his family generals and said loudly, "Stop them and don't let the thieves run away."

The third round of volleys came again, and many bandits fell down. The Silver Armor Young Master calmed down a lot at this time. He found that the Nine-Headed Bird's gunmen were very powerful. Although they shot volleys again and again, the bandits fell down and did not miss them. This made him very impressed. How powerful gunmen could do this.

Under the command of the Silver Armored Young Master, the ambushers began to separate from the bandits. They guarded both sides of the road and in front of them, blocking the thieves' escape route, and watched the Nine-Headed Bird's muskets sound again and again, and then the thieves who were stopped and unable to break through continued to fall under the shooting of the Nine-Headed Bird's gunners who were getting closer and closer.

After six consecutive rounds of shooting, most of the thieves had fallen down, and the rest of them were completely collapsed. They rushed around like headless flies, but they could not rush out at all and were trapped tightly.

Many thieves were heartbroken and jumped off their horses, knelt on the ground and shouted to surrender and spare their lives.

A new order sounded in the Nine-Headed Birds team. Those who surrendered were exempted from death while those who continued to resist were killed without mercy. Li Yong was still rushing left and right with a bloody Guanjian, but Zhang Shousheng had already pale and got off the horse, and knelt on the ground with his head in his hands.

He had already seen that in the rear team of Jiutou, a cannon that had been taken off from the horse, including tiger squats and destroying the enemy. These cannons were only 36 kilograms small and weighed only 100 kilograms. They could be carried on a war horse and removed from the horse when they were in battle, and they could quickly enter combat readiness and be launched at any time.

These people were surrounded by people, and they were not enough to plug the fire between the teeth.

"I surrender, surrender."

Zhang Shousheng even recognized that the artillery fire was still from his previous artillery team, but now it has become the Nine-Headed Bird.

Li Yong was still resisting stubbornly, but a lead shot shot hit his chest. The iron armor on his body could not stop the lead shot. A blood arrow shot up in his chest. Li Yong shook his body a few times and fell from his horse. Before he died, he looked in the direction where the bullet was shot, and only saw a cold officer holding a large bird gun at him.

As soon as Li Yong died, Zhang Shousheng surrendered again, and the other bandits finally dismounted and knelt down and begged for mercy and surrender.

More than 300 bandits were finally killed and more than 130 people were killed one after another, and the rest surrendered, and none of them escaped. Most of them were killed and injured after the arrival of the Nine-Headed Bird. If it weren't for them, the one who escaped might be another army.

The young player in the silver armor took his family to the front of the Nine-Headed Birds with his family.

Liu Jun was also looking at the group of people, and couldn't guess what they came from.

"At Xiamacheng Group Training Director Liu Jun and Liu Jiye, I have seen this brother, and I don't know what to call him."

Liu Jun held his fists and greeted the young master Yinjia said, "I heard about Brother Liu's name for a long time, and I have never been able to meet him. I have long admired him. In Xia Meiqing, my father is Mei Changgong."

Liu Jun was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at the man who called himself Mei Qing. He was very young and handsome, and even more handsome. Looking closely, Mei Qing's skin was even a little whiter and her eyes were a little more handsome.

Mei Qing was stared at Liu Jun so close, and she felt a little unnatural, and even her face began to turn red. Seeing this, Liu Jun became more and more sure of the thought in his heart. This young man in silver armor was actually a woman dressed as a man.

In fact, although he had never seen Mei Qing, Mei Qing claimed to be the son of Mei Changgong. Who is Mei Zhihuan? Liu Jun still has some understanding of Mei Zhihuan's situation. Mei Zhihuan is not interested in fishing and has many wives and concubines, but in fact Mei Zhihuan has a difficult offender and has given birth to several sons in succession, but most of them died in childhood. Now only one son has grown up. It is precisely because of this that Mei Zhihuan has taken so many concubines because she has few sons and that son is very weak.

On the other hand, Liu Jun knew that Mei Zhihuan's son was named Mei Lian, and he should be a little longer than him this year. The court had restored Mei Zhihuan's official rank before, but he did not re-activate him. However, he gave his son Mei Lianen a fourth-rank military position as the commander of the Jinyiwei, but that was also an honor, not a real position.

Mei Qing claimed that Mei Zhihuan was his father, and Liu Jun felt something was wrong. Mei Qing was definitely not Mei Lian, and there was only one possibility left. Mei Qing was Mei Zhihuan's daughter. He had indeed heard some rumors that Mei Zhihuan had a very favored daughter. Although it was difficult to believe that a woman dared to lead troops to fight, thinking about the family traditions of the Mei family, it seems that the women of the Mei family all have a unrestrained and free personality, which is not surprising.

Mei Zhihuan's cousin Mei Danran, who was originally married to Liu Chengxi of the Liu family, had already decided to make a marriage, but Liu Chengxi passed away before she got married. Mei Danran was not married and had no worries. Quanzhen was empty and lived in a family temple to practice. At that time, he was also practicing with his sister and several aunts. Later, Mei Danran became a friend of his father and the contemporary literary master Li Zhi as his teacher.

Later, there was a scandal that shocked the world between the teachers and students, and Li Zhi was even impeached. Among them, he brought a quilt and pillow into the temple, saying that he was close to a woman, and was eventually arrested for being accused of chasing chaos and slandering the people, and even his lifelong works were burned.

Although later, Li Zhi's death was a political struggle, the world also believed that Li Zhi and Mei Danran had no affair, and at most it was just a purely spiritual love, limited to letter exchanges and text exchanges. However, no matter what, the many behaviors of Danran and the female family at that time were still quite bold and unrestrained for the Ming Dynasty scholars who were under the defense of ethics and education.

After experiencing Mei Danran, the women of the Mei family did not seem to have restrained themselves and they are still unique. Especially Mei Zhihuan is also a very unique parent, and it doesn’t seem too strange that his daughter disguises herself as a man.

"Mei Qing." Liu Jun said this name and smiled at her. He was basically sure that Mei Qing was definitely a woman.

Mei Qing saw Liu Jun's smile and expression, and understood that the other party had seen through his disguise. He couldn't help glaring at Liu Jun. It turned out that he had heard of many things about this guy, and thought that although this guy was from an ordinary background, he had a different kind of hard work. But now when he saw this guy, it was really annoying. What's wrong with the woman? Can't the woman ride a horse to fight.

In ancient times, Mulan joined the army. Liang Hongyu, a female hero in the anti-Jin period, and even the dynasty had a female general Qin Liangyu. Why did Liu Jun look down on women?

Fortunately, when I heard that when Hutou Fort was surrounded, I saw that there was no soldiers to help, and I personally organized 300 clerks from my family to rescue him. It was so kind that I had no good rewards.

Liu Jun didn't know that Mei Qing had such a big prejudice against him just because of his smile. In fact, he did not discriminate against women too much. After all, men and women have long been equal in later generations. In many cases, feminist rights have actually become prevalent. In that era when there are more men and fewer women, women have long been more than just half the sky, but have almost taken over half of the sky of men.

Next, Mei Qing ignored Liu Jun. In order to avoid taboos, Liu Jun did not deliberately talk to Mei Qing. Fortunately, there was another Mei Ting who was there, who was the Mei family's general. This time the bandits attacked, Mei Zhihuan took the Baosheng Fort's village group to Qizhou. Later, Hutou Fort came to ask for help, and there were no soldiers to be transferred to Shenzhuang. Mei Qing was determined to come to rescue and insisted on gathering the three hundred village heads in his family to help. These three hundred people were not elite servants of the Mei family, but just ordinary servants, who had received some training.

For this reason, they showed many flaws during their previous ambush. After all, from Mei Qing to Mei Tingyou, they are actually not professionals.

Their ambush idea is correct, but since it is an ambush, they shouldn't have rushed out to fight with the thieves. If it were Liu Jun, they would use local materials to make some horses, surrounded the thieves, and use cannons, muskets, bows and arrows to attack. After all, when they blocked the road, there were dense forests on both sides. They fought in the forest on the side of the road, and naturally had a protection. Even if the thief had horses, it would be useless if they entered the forest, and trees could still defend themselves against arrows.

But Mei Qing and the others rushed out, fighting with the thieves, and almost trapped themselves. If he hadn't come quickly, the brave Miss Mei would have died here.

However, when Liu Jun heard that Mei Qing brought his servants to save Hutou Castle, he was still very moved. It was already amazing that a woman had such courage. As for some shortcomings in the battle, it was not too strict.

"Liu Jun is very grateful to Brother Mei for his rescue. Now, there is nothing wrong with Hutou Fort. Brother Mei might as well lead his troops to withdraw his troops and go back."

Mei Qing just learned that Hutou Castle had achieved such a great victory. Liu Jun led hundreds of nine-headed birds to defeat more than 3,000 thieves, not a big defeat. If the bandits here were included, Liu Jun had completely wiped out a battalion of men and horses of the bandits with one force. Thinking about the fact that he had just ambushed the bandits with 300 people, he was only defeated by hundreds of defeated soldiers who escaped from Liu Jun, but he almost capsized the ship. It was really a shame.

Mei Qing even forgot that she had been dissatisfied with Liu Jun before, and she became extremely admiring for Liu Jun. She was favored by her father since she was a child. She said that her feet were so painful, so her father refused to let her go. She said that she wanted to learn riding, so her father taught her how to ride a horse and gave her several horses. She said that she wanted to practice arrows, so her father hired a female mattress. Usually, she often disguised herself as a man and ran to her father's village troupe, but her father did not restrain her. She liked the army and arched and arched. The one she admired most was Qin Liangyu, the female general who commanded the white pole soldiers.

"You are going to Huang'an, we will go too." Mei Qing said.

Liu Jun wanted to refuse, but when he saw Mei Qing's firm look, he thought about it and then didn't speak. Sometimes, it was obviously not feasible to reason with women.

"If Brother Mei insists on going with him, it's OK, but I'll make an agreement in advance that you and your troops must obey my orders, otherwise I won't dare to take you with you."

"Okay." Mei Qing responded very readily. Mei Tingyou next to him could only worry, but there was nothing he could do.
