Liu Ruosi was persuaded by Guo Zhiyuan to defect, not only cleared the charge of rebellion, but also promoted to become the garrison of Dongfan, naturally hoped to perform well and become the core backbone of Guo Zhiyuan's team, but he didn't expect such a mistake, he was attacked by a group of "wild men" wearing animal skins and holding rudimentary weapons, and killed dozens of soldiers, which is simply a great shame!

"My lord, please allow the last general to lead his troops to suppress this group of people who toast and don't drink punishment wine! There is no reason to talk about these unconvinced Wang Huashengfan, only if they are convinced, they will be honest! ......" Liu Ruosi angrily took the initiative to ask for battle.

Guo Zhiyuan is not a muddy bodhisattva, he can tolerate the rude behavior of these Shengfan natives who accept the gifts he sent but drive away the envoys he sent, but it is impossible to tolerate these Shengfan natives attacking his salt works and killing his own soldiers and salt workers, which has broken Guo Zhiyuan's bottom line, and he knows that if he does not fight back immediately, it will only fuel the arrogance of these Shengfan natives, and bloodsheds like this attack on the salt field will occur frequently, so he can't prevent it! Since carrots don't work, he can only use sticks!

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan no longer hesitated, waved his hand vigorously and said, "Then let's fight!" General Liu, how many troops do you think need to be mobilized to ensure victory?! ……”

"Give me a thousand soldiers! will definitely be able to spend his life and kill him without leaving a piece of armor! ......" Liu Ruosi patted her chest confidently and said loudly.

Liu Ruosi originally had 5,000 soldiers under his command, but the imperial court was afraid that Dongfan would not be able to lose the end of the future, so although Liu Ruosi was promoted to be the garrison of Dongfan, he only gave 3,000 soldiers, Dongfan is so big, Guo Zhiyuan wants to build cities in Dayuan, Keelung, and Beigang, and he has to transfer part of the new army to Shen Yourong to fight smuggling ships, and the strength is a little tight, and Guo Zhiyuan is now focusing on the construction of Dongfan, and he is not busy expanding the army, so 1,000 soldiers are already the largest force he can draw at present.

However, Liu Ruosi is also a person who knows soldiers, and the soldiers under him may not be the real elite, but the combat effectiveness is still much stronger than that of the ordinary soldiers of the Fujian Naval Division, plus there are a lot of weapons and armor captured in the previous rebellion, and the equipment is also very neat, so it should not be a big problem to deal with those students with poor weapons who have not undergone formal military training at all, so Guo Zhiyuan didn't think much about it, agreed to Liu Ruosi's request for war, and found a few Pingpu guides, Let them take Liu Ruosi and a thousand elite soldiers under him up the mountain to fight the natives!

What Guo Zhiyuan never expected was that the first military operation he launched against the indigenous people of Shengfan failed! A few days later, Liu Ruosi and a thousand soldiers under his command returned with a feather, and were beaten by the Shengfan natives to lose their armor and flee down the mountain in embarrassment, and only 600 people fled back with 1,000 people when they left, and they also threw a large amount of ordnance and materials in the mountains, becoming the trophies of those Shengfan natives!

It turned out that after Liu Ruosi and them entered the mountain, they suffered in a strange jungle environment, poisonous snakes, fierce beasts and all kinds of poisonous mosquitoes made Liu Ruosi and them anxious, and what was worse was that the Shengfan also set up an endless variety of hunting traps in the jungle, so that the soldiers could not guard against it, and even the shadow of the natives of Shengfan was not seen, and the troops were attritional, and their morale was extremely low.

Liu Ruosi was so aggrieved that he was going to die, and he had a feeling that he punched hard but hit the cotton, but he boasted about Haikou in front of Guo Zhiyuan, so he was naturally unwilling to return like this, and forced the soldiers to continue to move forward, wanting to find the camp of the students for a decisive battle!

But at this time, Liu Ruosi's nightmare had just begun, when they were camping at night, they were suddenly attacked by the Shengfan, and lost dozens of soldiers, Liu Ruosi was so angry that he lost his mind, and actually ordered the soldiers to chase the Shengfan who attacked them with torches, which was a taboo for the soldiers, the Shengfan have lived in the alpine jungle for a long time, this is their home field, even at night, they can walk on the ground in the jungle, running like flying, on the contrary, Liu Ruosi's subordinate soldiers holding torches are struggling, It's completely become a live target for the students!

The most headache for the soldiers is the ** of the raw fans,**Thin as pine needles,It seems that the lethality is not great,But the raw fan is coated with poison on the **,In the middle it will die,And**Shoot silently,Thin and sharp,The raw fans are specifically aimed at the neck and other positions that the soldier's armor can't cover,Let the soldiers' armor have no advantage,Become a lamb to be slaughtered!

Originally, the young and strong combat strength of the Shengfan was only a few hundred people, and Liu Ruosi had the advantage of troops, but he let the soldiers pursue separately but gave the Shengfan a chance to break through, and the dozen or so squads sent out to pursue suffered heavy losses, losing nearly half.

Liu Ruosi only then realized that he was too light on the enemy, gathered the soldiers to guard closely, and no longer divided the troops to pursue, but the students did not fight against him at all, and chose them to camp at night to carry out a surprise attack.

Ying Xiao is the last thing the leader wants to see, there are countless examples of tens of thousands of troops in military history being defeated inexplicably because of a camp Xiao, Liu Ruosi can only accept his fate no matter how unwilling he is, if he continues to pursue, he will have to confess all his thousand people in the jungle!

Liu Ruosi could only gather the soldiers and order a retreat, but at this time, the main force of Shengfan, who had been hiding with Liu Ruosi, appeared, these Shengfan had tattoos on their faces, looking like ghosts, and they were not afraid of death, and they charged as if they didn't want to die, Liu Ruosi's soldiers were already frightened, and they had no intention of fighting, and when they saw the terrifying-looking Shengfan killing, they had no intention of resisting at all, and they ran away, if it weren't for the Shengfan who coveted the ordnance and materials they dropped, the remaining 600 or so people might not be able to run out.

Liu Ruosi, who had lost the battle, knelt in front of Guo Zhiyuan in embarrassment, and said with great shame: "My lord, the last general is incompetent, the soldiers are lost, and the feathers are returned, please punish the adults!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan sighed, in fact, not only Liu Ruosi underestimated the enemy, but he also underestimated the enemy, he didn't expect these Shengfan natives to be so difficult, and he underestimated the home advantage of the Shengfan natives, and he didn't even know which Shengfan tribe attacked them, so he rashly sent troops, and it was not surprising that he would suffer defeat.

Although Guo Zhiyuan also has some resentment against Liu Ruosi for not being angry, but now it is useless to punish Liu Ruosi, it will only make morale even lower, Liu Ruosi's troops are the only armed forces that have been recognized by the imperial court that he can be open, and he cannot give up, so not only can he not punish Liu Ruosi, but also appease him.
