Chapter 176

Zhang Xianzhong's identity verification of the two informants went smoothly. Niu Wu was indeed a personal soldier of Shuntian King He Guoxian. The battalions have been united for a while, and Niu Wu often follows He Guoxian, so many people know Niu Wu.

Only the Sweeping King's personal soldiers knew not many people, and most of them had no impression of it. In the end, one of Zhang Xianzhong's personal soldiers patted his chest and said that he was very familiar with this brother. In fact, this person was just like the last time he had a meal and drank with Shi Debiao.

Since the two had been confirmed, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai basically believed them. On the same day, Zhang Luo and others ordered the camp to head eastward, and the new and old brothers of several thieves and bandits reached nearly 50,000. Because the number of people was too large, the ship had long been handed over to the people of the sweeping king and the Shun Tianwang who set out in the first two. Therefore, these tens of thousands of people marched directly to Wushan by land.

When leaving Dachang City, Zhang Xianzhong sent a messenger to Daning City, asking Guotianxing Huidingxiang to send troops directly to Fengjie later. After their large troops captured Wushan, they would go to Fengjie to meet with Guotianxing tribe.

In Zhang Xianzhong's view, if their 50,000 troops arrived in Wushan, it would be a matter of success and victory.

More than 50,000 people left the city and pulled up a team of miles long. When the team left, Dachang City behind them was also filled with flames. Zhang Xianzhong himself did not guard Dachang City, but he did not intend to return it to the officers and soldiers. He sent people to set fire everywhere, burned Dachang City, and even forced tens of thousands of people to transport food and grass and robbed a large amount of spoils from the city.

The young people in Dachang City and the nearby people were either recruited into the army or forced to be recruited as the people, and the remaining ones were either old and could not walk the way or the children. Dachang City was already empty in nine out of ten rooms and was completely destroyed.

Mud ditch.

After receiving the victory from Liu Jun, Mei Zhihuan immediately led most of the troops to Lannigou. In addition to leaving some troops in Wushan and Fengjie, Mei Zhihuan brought two battalions.

As soon as he arrived at the Lanni Gully, Mei Zhihuan first saw the prisoner camp, with thousands of prisoners sitting in the camp and listening to the Nine-Headed Nine-Headed Officer’s lecture.

"Where are King Shuntian and King Hunshi?" Mei Zhihuan immediately asked when she saw Liu Jun.

Liu Jun waved his hand and the two already processed heads were brought over in a wooden box.

"You killed them again?" Mei Zhihuan glared at Liu Jun, too lazy to say anything.

"These are just small fish and shrimps, why bother to worry? When Zhang Xianzhong is caught, I promise not to kill him and leave someone alive for you." Liu Jun said with a smile.

"You think Zhang Xianzhong is a fish turtle, and you can catch him if you want?"

"Sir, I have already put the bait, and Zhang Xianzhong has bit the hook. This time, we really have a great chance to catch Zhang Xianzhong." Liu Jun reported their plan to lure the enemy on the spot.

When the three big bosses Mei Zhihuan, Li Changgeng and Yuan Jixian heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath. Liu Jun was not so angry, but he was still cruel. He lured the enemy to ambush twice, and won two big victories, but now he actually had to play three more times.

"Zhang Xianzhong is not so stupid, right?" Yuan Jixian also felt that he underestimated Huang Hu too much.

"Zhang Xianzhong is just a thief, so you don't have to look down on him. My horse-studying response has just returned, and the thief has already brought all 50,000 thieves to Dachang. Before leaving, he had already burned Dachang City."

"Hiss, this thief is really fooled." Mei Zhihuan felt it was simply incredible.

"This is an asymmetry of intelligence. Since the rebellion of Gucheng, the thief has been smooth. Especially since he defeated Zuo Liangyu, who had been calling Grandpa Zuo, he had been fighting in the past, and even played with Yang Ge's troops, successfully jumped out of the encirclement and entered Sichuan. It is normal for him to be a little inflated and underestimate the enemy. Besides, the governor and the two governors have just returned. These thieves seem to be underestimating you."

"Then let us let him see how powerful we old bones are." Mei Zhihuan said, clenching her fist.

Liu Jun welcomed Mei Zhihuan and others into the temporary Zhongjun camp, and then carefully reported the battle process of Lannigou to them. When Mei Zhihuan and others heard that Liu Jun had the shock of zero deaths and injuries, they annihilated more than 5,000 bandits and bandits, killed more than 1,000 bandits, including the two rebel bandit leaders of Shuntian King Hunshi King, captured more than 4,000 prisoners, and rescued more than 1,000 civilians and hundreds of women.

Mei Zhihuan was too lazy to worry about the more than a thousand people who were killed in the formation at this time, including hundreds of thieves and backbone leaders who were executed after the war.

The battalion officer Hu Gongguo, who was beside Mei Zhihuan, said with admiration, "General Liu Shen is really using his troops like a god, which is amazing." When Liu Jun and his friends were blocking the enemy here, Hu Gongguo led the officers and soldiers of the three battalions in Wu County to ambush the baggage team of more than a thousand people in the Bawu Gorge.

Although they won a great victory, they eventually suffered more than 200 casualties. In this way, Hu Duke Guo and others were still very excited and felt that the casualties were very small. But now looking at Liu Jun, who also had three battalions, was still dealing with more than 5,000 bandits, but they ended up killing their opponents with zero casualties.

"In fact, the bandits are not very morale, so we wait for work, do a good job, and rely on the benefits of artillery fire."

"No need to say that, hey, the waves in the Yangtze River push the waves, I, Lao Hu, really convinced you. General Liu, remember to teach me both ways when you have time and let me learn something too."

"What is Liu Shen General?" Liu Jun had heard that Hu Duke Guo called him General twice.

Mei Zhihuan smiled and said, "You don't know yet. When we marched into Sichuan, the emperor issued an imperial edict to give you the title of General of the Governor, and I am the General of the Prime Minister's Batch Camp. Congratulations, you have been promoted again, and not only have you promoted to General of the Governor, but your original name as the Chief Commander of the Chief Commander was also gone. Now you have the official title of Chief Commander."

Mei Zhihuan looked at Liu Jun. More than half a year ago, he accidentally met Liu Jun at a roadside tea shop. At that time, Liu Jun was just a young man who stood up for justice, an ordinary martial arts student. He wanted to go to the Liu family to recognize his relatives, but he was rejected. But in a blink of an eye, this young man had become a general of the Ming Dynasty, a general of the twenty-year-old general.

It is true that heroes come from troubled times and the times are in a state of power. How could such a thing happen when peace comes? However, even at this time, I am afraid that not many people will have any opinions about Liu Jun's promotion. After all, there are many deputy generals, generals, governors, governors, and governors who are higher than those in the world, but few of them can really fight in recent years. Although Liu Jun is young, he has won consecutive victories in a short period of time, which is quite rare.

Hu Gongguo smiled and said to Liu Jun, "General Liu is really successful in his official career. He was promoted to General Manager of the Ninth grade for a few days before he was promoted to General Manager of the Eighth grade. As a result, General Manager of the Practice was not yet in hot seats, and he was promoted to General Manager of the Ninth grade. He was just appointed and the emperor awarded the guerrillas again. He had not been in office for two months and was promoted to General Manager of the Ninth grade. If this continues, it will take less than two months, and he will probably be promoted to Deputy General again."

Lu Yuanrang on the other side continued, "No way to use it for two months. Since General Liu Shen entered Sichuan, he has won two great victories in Wushan and Lannigou. In both battles, he annihilated more than 5,000 bandits and killed four bandit leaders, including the King of Sweeping the Land, the King of Ten Antis, the King of Shuntian, and the King of Hunshi. I am afraid that once the fight comes to the front of the imperial court, a deputy general will be lighter. He may have to be appointed as a general."

Everyone smiled and congratulated Liu Jun. But no matter how he said that, everyone felt that Liu Jun had already been promoted to the gentry general at a young age, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to get promoted in a short time.

Liu Jun's general is a commander in the Prime Minister's Battalion, so he is considered a co-superior general. There are generally two types of generals in the Ming Dynasty. One is a co-superior general, that is, a general who is in the same city as the general, or directly under the governor, governor, prime minister, and general. This type of general has no defense ground.

Another type of generals is to be divided into one another, which should be called generals. The generals of generals should be heavier than generals of generals, but no matter what, Liu Jun is now officially generals.

"General Liu Shen, now introduce your ambush plan to us!" Li Changgeng said to Liu Jun with a smile.

Two days later, the thief was twenty miles away when he was not taken away at night.

But at this time, Liu Jun was not excited at all. The bandit army was walking along the way and collided into the trap. But now Liu Jun was a little hesitant. Yes, he hesitated.

Standing in the military tent, Liu Jun was extremely depressed as he looked at the rows of rainfall flowing down from the tent.

Just when Zhang Xianzhong's big fish was already on the hook and he was about to close the line, the weather was not good. It was always clear that heavy rain suddenly started to rain last night.

The rain was very heavy, and there was no sign of stopping until today after a night. Although it was going to rain and it was impossible to stop it, for Liu Jun, the rain was too untimely.

As soon as the rain came, the combat power of the Nine-Headed Bird basically dropped sharply, not even a little bit, but was reduced by more than half. Now the Nine-Headed Bird is not even 30% of its combat power, so how can I fight this battle?

The rain kept falling and it was wet everywhere. Although the soldiers of the Nine-Headed Bird were equipped with rain ponchos, their muskets could not be used in the rain. The cannons were similar, and they were greatly affected.

Without firearms, Liu Jun really has no confidence in fighting tens of thousands of bandits with just swords and guns.

Liu Jun thought at this time, it would be great if his flying dragon guns were all flintlock guns.

Liu Jun was still hesitating, but Mei Zhihuan did not hesitate. The thief was coming. At this time, even if the Nine-headed Bird's musket could not play a role, he could only fight the troops and the water would flood the soil.

"Make a tent to make the cannon a rainy roof. As for the firearms, the bows and arrows will be greatly affected. There is no way to do so. But at this time we can't retreat. The thieves have arrived. It is quite dangerous for us to retreat temporarily." Mei Zhihuan first expressed his attitude, and then said, "But even if there is no firearms, the firearms and arrows will be affected, but I don't think there is a need to be afraid. The five battalions of troops gathered here and still have the advantage of the territory. Although the thieves are twice as good as me, they are all mobs."

After all, this battle must be fought.

Hu Duke Guo also knew that although the Nine-Headed Birds had fought sharply in the past, they mostly relied on firearms. This time, the Nine-Headed Birds' combat power dropped greatly, so he took the initiative to stand up and proposed that they should be the main force, and Nine-Headed Birds should cooperate and assist.
