In the blink of an eye, the two-month skill training was over, and Zhu Hao let the troops rest for three days and prepare to go to Erlong Mountain. The armory room also made thousands of rounds of paper shell bullets, but the bolt-type electric gun is still in the final stage of tackling key problems, and the dragon king cannon has also made more than 100 under the supervision of Xu Sanduo, Zhu Hao tried the power, the stone dragon king cannon is general, and the dragon king cannon is also a secret weapon, Zhu Hao does not plan to take it out of the expedition, but just ordered the armory room to step up the study of the iron-shelled dragon king cannon.

Zhu Hao originally wanted to buy a few artillery, but he couldn't find a way to collect them from all sides, and the official control over the artillery was extremely strict. Zhu Hao thought that he could only become a military general in the future.

Zhang Jinyu was anxious, so he asked someone to call Zhu Hao back to the house, and saw that his son had grown taller and more manly, but his white face was tanned, and he was relieved and distressed, so he hurriedly arranged the meal.

Zhu Hao has been busy for more than a month and has not eaten a proper meal, and at this time, he devoured the food, and made the little sister Zhu Qiang on the side giggle.

"Daddy, my son plans to go to Erlong Mountain the day after tomorrow." Zhu Hao wiped his mouth after eating.

"Son, my mother knows that you are a person who does great things, but the war is dangerous, you must be careful, don't pretend to be a good man at will." Zhang Jinyu was very worried about Zhu Hao, who was fighting for the first time.

"Don't talk about anything else, my father has already dealt with the government over there, you rarely go to the Zhenshan Dart Bureau these days, your master heard that you are going to Erlong Mountain, and sent someone to let Fang Ze and Maozong go with you, and have a response." Zhu Shouyi said gently.

"It's just right, I haven't seen them for a few days, with them, you two don't have to worry, if you can't do such a thing, then what else is there to talk about."

After eating, Zhu Hao hurried to the base to hold the last military meeting before the expedition. Discuss what tactics to use to exterminate the bandits.

Sun Deqi was the party, so Zhu Hao asked him to speak first. Sun Deqi explained some of the information about Erlong Mountain that he inquired about, and everyone thought about it.

Zhang Benduan said first: "According to what Staff Officer Sun said, although these Erlong Mountains are not high, the mountain is steep, there is only one serious mountain road up and down the cottage, and the main force of the bandits has more than 1,000 people, which is comparable to our army, and if it is attacked, there will be large casualties." ”

"I suggest finding another way, we look for nearby mountain people, preferably mountain people who often go into the mountains, we will definitely find another way." Zhang Dacheng's mind is a little simple.

"No, who dares to guarantee that this mountain man is not the eyeliner of the bandits? If it's too time-consuming for us to find it ourselves, I think it's better to lure the bandits down the mountain. Tai Dingfang suggested.

"Lao Tai is right, it is best to find a way to lure the bandits down the mountain, face the enemy head-on with a musket team on flat ground, and surround it with infantry, so as to annihilate them all." Luo Yunqu said in a deep voice.

Zhu Hao glanced at Luo Yunqu with some surprise, it seems that this old Luo is not a brave and unscrupulous person, looking at everyone's discussion, he thought it was time to find some military books to teach everyone.

Everyone talked about some suggestions, and the sum of them was quite comprehensive. Zhu Hao nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, everyone stopped talking and looked at him, Zhu Hao cleared his throat and said: "You all have good ideas, you can actively contribute ideas, I am very satisfied with this, based on everyone's speeches, I have a plan." ”

"We are not familiar with the geography of Erlong Mountain, if the bandits concentrate on defending the road up the mountain, the strong attack is likely to cause large casualties, so we must lead the enemy down the mountain. In this regard, I have asked Li Dong to prepare a team of sumptuous goods, send more men, still walk along the path, and lure out this group of bandits, three infantry teams ambush in advance on the road that the bandits must pass, cut off their back roads, take the lead with musket teams, and the others intercept and kill the fish that have slipped through the net, but be sure to release a few to report the news. The other two infantry units were ambushed at the bottom of the mountain, and if the enemy's reinforcements came down the mountain, they would take advantage of the attack and go up the mountain. The specific battle plan was announced by Zhao Yuansheng. ”

In the lobby of the Erlongshan bandit village.

The bandit leader Wang Boda sat on a chair in the middle of the lobby, he was nicknamed the dragon sitting on the ground, about thirty years old, the appearance of mighty, this person had been a small leader of the Ming army, could not bear the bullying of the boss, so he led some of his soldiers up the mountain to be a bandit, quite a bit of strategy, for the sake of righteousness, after occupying Erlong Mountain, robbing the rich and helping the poor, the poor villagers nearby have come to vote, within a few years they pulled up a team of thousands of people, is one of the three major bandits in Fengyang Mansion, Fengyang's official army three expeditions and suppressions have been in vain, see that this person does not cause a big deal and let it go.

There is a seat on the left and right sides of the hall, and on the left is the second master Wu Cai, who is in his forties, thin and thin, and his eyes look quite shrewd.

On the chair on the right sat a good-looking, wearing a tunic embroidered with a big lotus flower, a woman with a fiery figure, about 20 years old, named Shang Cailian, born in the dart game, her husband was falsely killed by the official army three years ago, and killed the enemy in a fit of anger and voted for Erlongshan, because of her strong personality and strong martial arts, Wang Boda also respected her for three points, and soon sat in the third position, second only to Wang Boda in force.

Wang Boda said: "Military advisor, third sister, I got a wire report yesterday, and there was a deal from Yangzhou, I heard that it is very weighty, it is all the stuff of corrupt officials and profiteers, the old rules, robbed it." ”

"Big boss, I always feel that it is inappropriate, last time we just robbed a batch of Yangzhou goods, not many days later, and dare to walk our way, I am afraid there is a problem." Wu Cai opened his mouth and said, he is a military advisor, and he is more thoughtful.

"yes, boss, will there be anything greasy in it?" Although Shang Cailian is strong, she is not a reckless person.

"I inquired, this time the goods are in a hurry from Fengyang's side, and the other party is also risky to come, otherwise he would not have sent two hundred bodyguards."

"The team of more than 200 people is not small, we must be cautious." Wu Cai was still a little worried.

"Do you know how much the goods are worth this time, at least 100,000 taels, much stronger than the previous goods, and this ticket is enough for us to spend for a few years." Wang Boda is full of longing.

"Well, then, the big boss took some of the brothers down the mountain, in order to prevent accidents, the third sister took a team of brothers to the bottom of the mountain road, if there is anything wrong, rush to take care of it in time." Wu Cai was also a little moved and suggested.

"Okay, I'll take six hundred brothers down the mountain, the third sister will bring three hundred brothers to answer, and the military advisor will sit in the village, which is enough to deal with just two hundred people." Wang Boda was a little unimpressed, but he still followed Wu Cai's advice. Over the years, he has been smooth sailing, defeated the official army three times, no one dares to provoke, and he has become more and more proud.

It is the time of May, the grass is abundant, and there are hundreds of people in ambush in a forest under Erlong Mountain, and one of the leaders looks mighty, and is looking at the mountain road 100 meters away outside, it is Wang Boda.

"Report, the big boss, the fat sheep is here, it's still three miles away from us, and the little one also found that there is a person dressed differently among them, it should be a rich son." A pathfinder came to report.

"Oh? This is a big fish, small ones, cheer up Lao Tzu, catch this big fish, remember, don't hurt him, or Lao Tzu will kill him. Wang Boda's eyes flashed with excitement.

The bandits agreed with a bang and geared up one after another. It's just that what they didn't pay attention to was that while they were talking, a black shadow quietly traveled a few hundred meters behind them.
