Chapter 184: The Dark Army

Liu Zhixian, who was in Shanxi County, stationed his army in the Dachang Mountains in the south.

Dachang Mountain is not high, the south is slow and the north is shaking, the forest is scarce, there are many limestones, the color of the whole mountain is gray, giving people a sense of desolation, and it is obviously different from the surrounding mountains, there is a kind of abrupt beauty.

As soon as Liu Zhixian arrived at Dachang Mountain, he immediately used the local limestone to build a three-layer limestone wall to resist Lu Ya's army.

With such a fortification, it is still a little difficult for Lu Ya to gnaw Liu Zhixian in a short period of time. It's just that there's a problem here, and that's the water source.

Water sources are scarce on Dachang Mountain, and only a few puddles can be seen, which is not enough for 20,000 people to drink water daily.

There is a small stream at the foot of Dachang Mountain, and Liu Zhixian took advantage of the fact that Lu Ya's army did not arrive, and stored some drinking water on the mountain, but it was not enough for long-term combat.

In order not to be stuck by drinking water, Liu Zhixian asked people to dig a well on Dachang Mountain to do what they needed.

After Lu Ya's 30,000 troops surrounded Dachang Mountain, they failed to take it down several times, and finally had no choice but to surround Dachang Mountain tightly, wanting to trap Liu Zhixian to death.

There is a scorching battle going on here, and several other battlefields are also blooming.

As Han Ming expected, Liu Han and Zhao Ming didn't take the rebellion in Leping County seriously at all.

The two of them divided the work in two places, Liu Han took 8,000 people back to quell the chaos, and Zhao Ming and Li Jun were tough.

Those Li troops who turned around to surround the county seat of Leping County were blocked by Zhao Ming and his troops before they had time to besiege the city.

Zhao Ming was familiar with the formation, and set up a fish formation under the county seat of Leping County.

The Chu army waited for work, and took advantage of the fact that the Li army had just arrived, and the formation was unstable, so it immediately attacked with the Yuli array and defeated the Li army.

And Liu Han also pushed back all the way, the army organized by those spies was not as effective as the bandits, and they were often crushed by a single impact.

The washed away Li Jun scattered and fled, which made Liu Han a little nerve-wracking, he couldn't clean up these rogues little by little, it would be too time-consuming.

Fortunately, Yang Xu came at this time.

Yang Xu took his secret guard and the newly formed dark army into Leping County.

In dealing with the scattered rogue army, Yang Xu can be said to have made a difference, and the dark army he led was specially built to deal with such a rogue army.

The soldiers of the Dark Army are all natives of Qinzhou County or Shangrao County. These people are either local thugs or unruly gangsters, or criminals in prison, and none of them have a clean background anyway.

These people don't have a strong sense of belonging to the country, but because of Yang Xu's recruitment, they feel that they are valued, so they work harder for Yang Xu.

Yang Xu asked a dark guard to lead a group of dark soldiers, and gave a special name for this purpose, called the flag master, how many people a flag master brings depends on the ability of the flag owner.

The greater the ability and the more people you bring, the higher the status of this flag owner.

So far, the most powerful is the 100-person flag, but Yang Xu believes that in the later development, there will definitely be a 100-person flag.

In this way, he used this method to control a group of dark army troops of tens of thousands of people in a very short time.

Although this dark army composed of gangsters, deflated three, and criminals is not good at combat, it is an expert in the civil war, not to mention how powerful it is to clean up his own family.

With the help of the Dark Army, the rebellion in Leping County was quelled at an extraordinary speed, which was completely unexpected by Liu Han.

Liu Han couldn't figure out why they were all from the country, and Yang Xu's dark army soldiers were able to attack their own compatriots, and they were not light.

When these dark soldiers caught an escaped rogue army, they put them to death, and used various means to ask about the whereabouts of others.

Where can those people endure this kind of torture, it didn't take long to recruit, which is why the dark army is more efficient than the regular army led by Liu Han.

Liu Han also admired Yang Xu's method, if he was to change him, he would not be able to do it at all.

With the help of Yang Xu, the turmoil in Leping County was quickly quelled. According to Han Ming's request, Yang Xu also organized a dark army in Leping County.

This time, Yang Xu was even more bold and used a group of people who had previously performed well as the flag owners.

His move directly detonated the enthusiasm of the dark army soldiers. In the past, these people thought that they had no chance of promotion, and they had to be under the control of the Chu people for the rest of their lives.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xu directly promoted a few people to be the flag owners, which means that if you have the ability, you can climb up, so that everyone is not excited.

As soon as the turmoil in Leping County was resolved, the contest between Han Ming and Gao Min was also decided.

In fact, there is no suspense, the reason why Gao Min will lead the troops to come, is what Feng Yu thought, he heard that the other two counties are in good shape, especially Shanxi County, which not only annihilated 20,000 Chu troops, but also trapped the remaining Chu army, which made him itch, at the instigation of his subordinates, Gao Min rushed to Xinting with all the troops of Tianfu City.

It's just that Gao Min underestimated Han Ming's army combat power, and before he arrived at Xinting, he encountered a madness that came with troops.

As soon as the two armies met, it was like a needle against a wheat, and a great war was about to break out.

Gao Min looked at the Chu army not far away, there were not many people, about 3,000 people, led by a man with five big and three rough, looking like he had no brains.

In Gao Min's opinion, it is simply funny that only 3,000 people want to block him.

He immediately asked the vanguard general to take 5,000 men to kill.

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

Seeing the five thousand Li soldiers killing the Chu army, Gao Min saw the three thousand Chu soldiers regularly tapping the shields in their hands.

The voice came from a distance, and although they were still standing in place, it gave people a spiritual shock, and a tragic emotion rose from the bottom of their hearts.

When the general of the vanguard of the army saw the movements of the Chu army not far away, a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart. The sound of the shield striking on everyone's hearts, and every step they took felt extremely heavy.

When they were still four hundred meters away from the Chu army, more than 3,000 people suddenly stopped striking the shield, and these people began to lower their heads again, and their hands were close to their foreheads.

Everyone moved in unison, everyone lowered their heads, and did not make a sound, and throughout the battlefield, only the screams of the army could be heard.

Just when they were still two hundred meters away from the Chu army, all the Chu soldiers finished praying, they raised their heads, held the spears and shields in their hands, and their faces were firm.

When the vanguard general of the army saw this look, he was terrified in his heart, he had seen this kind of look before, and it was a kind of look at the dead.

In the end, the soldiers of the two armies collided together, and the scene was like a piece of tofu being thrown on a stone.

The soldiers of the army are vulnerable, and in front of the Zhiwai army led by Madness, they are not enough to see at all.

The people behind saw that the soldiers in front of them suffered heavy casualties, and the vanguard general was also killed in a frenzy at the first time, and immediately collapsed and fled backwards.

Gao Min couldn't believe it when he saw the defeat of the striker, but before he could issue the next order, Feng Yu's white horse guard had already killed from the flank.

In the end, under the joint efforts of the Zhiwai Army and Bai Mawei, Gao Min was captured and the Li army was completely wiped out.

After cleaning up Gao Min, Han Ming asked Feng Yu to lead his troops to collect Tianfu City, and he led the rest of the troops to support Liu Zhixian.

At the same time, on Liu Zhixian's side, something unusual was also discovered.

In order to cope with the siege of Lu Ya and not be choked by the problem of drinking water, Liu Zhixian asked people to dig a well on Dachang Mountain.

Those wet places were dug up by the soldiers, and indeed dug up a few springs, although the amount of water produced was not large, but it barely maintained the daily drinking water needs of the Chu army.

However, in the process of digging the well, Liu Zhixian discovered something special, a tomb.

A large catacomb.

However, at this time, the war was tight, and Liu Zhixian didn't have time to take care of this tomb, so he sealed the mouth of the dug tomb and studied it slowly after the war calmed down.

The matter of drinking water has just been solved here, and Hu Bugui, who came from Longguan, has also arrived.
