Chapter Eighty-Nine: Rush

"Last night, ten miles southeast of Yuxian County, a village was slaughtered by bandits led by Chongguang Dao, and the entire village, whether it was the old and weak, women and children, was spared."

In the guerrilla camp, Xiao Liuzi was reporting to Wang Zezhi.

For them, Wang Zezhi never gave up paying attention to them, after all, this was a group of bandits with a number of four thousand.

Ever since the Light Dao parted ways with Wang Er, he had led this group of people to plunder everywhere.

At first, they were robbing merchants who traveled to and from Pingding Prefecture, but now the merchants are frightened and no longer dare to leave Pingding Prefecture.

This group of people in the Light Dao Belt has no bottom line, and they kill people at every turn, and this kind of massacre of the entire village is even more appalling.

This is also the reason why grain prices in Pingdingzhou, Yuxian, and Shouyang have risen sharply recently.

"Where have they camped lately?" Wang Zezhi asked with a gloomy face.

Xiao Liuzi began to tell, it turned out that Chongguangdao had already set his sights on several coal mines in Yuxian County.

To say that this Yuxian County, coal mining and iron smelting are the two major industries unique here.

These coal mines and iron-smelting sites are concentrated in the east or south of Yuxian.

The three largest of these mines not only mine, they also smelt iron on site at the coal mining site.

These three large coal mines are located in Yuxian County in the south of five miles, twenty miles in the east, and twenty miles in the southeast.

Nanwuli is close to Yuxian, and they are afraid that Wang Zezhi's guards in Yuxian will not dare to go, so they will lay a coal mine in the east twenty miles.

Now they are all entrenched there, and they are kings of the mines.

Although there is a lot of coal and iron in this coal mine, there is not much grain, but the coal mine in the southeast 20 miles has a lot of grain, and they can often see a cart of wine and meat pulled in.

If it weren't for the strong soldiers of the coal mines, who carried strong bows and crossbows every time they went out, they would have plundered a long time ago.

However, today, they are in a hurry to plant light and have already gone to attack.

Wang Zezhi thought about it, and he decided to take Qi Qi, Li San, Xiao Liuzi, two thousand five hundred sergeants, and five tiger squat cannons, plus two Furlong machine guns to prepare for battle.

The rest of the sergeants were led by Ma Fu and Ah Niu to stay in the camp.

Fortunately, Wang Zezhi has a lot of horses and mules here, some of them are in the hands of the general banner of Tudong, and the twenty good horses are from Heihu Village, and more than 100 good horses have been seized from the Wenju people, plus nearly 500 horses have been seized from the loaches.

With these horses, as well as the wagons captured from the Wenju people, the transportation of the baggage was not a big problem.

In addition to baggage, these people must also be allocated weapons and equipment.

Black Tiger Village originally had more than 200 sets of armor weapons, plus the armor weapons captured from Wenju and Loach, it had already reached more than 3,000 sets, so these people's weapons and armor were complete.

It's just that the styles of weapons and armor are varied, and they are not very good-looking.

The only thing that looks good is Wang Zezhi's personal guard platoon, everyone is wearing a placket and face armor, equipped with a sword, a bird gun, a strong bow, a waist knife, and the key is that everyone still has horses.

Of course, Wang Zezhi was also wearing armor, carrying two Lu Mi guns and bows, he tried to learn a few times, I don't know if he didn't have that talent or what, he always couldn't shoot accurately, but playing with guns was different, and there were few people in the camp who could hit the target with guns like him.

Among the two thousand five hundred sergeants, there were also two hundred halberd and shield soldiers, which had just been formed at the request of Wang Zezhi.

It's a pity that the shield is still missing.

Wang Zezhi left the guerrilla camp with his team, and the people and military households in the camp stopped their work one after another and chased them out, knowing that Wang Zezhi was on an expedition.

In the kitchen, Xiaoling put down the dishes in her hand, chased out and looked at Wang Zezhi from afar, she looked at Wang Zezhi who was riding a tall horse, wearing armor and carrying a gun, and secretly wiped her tears, she was afraid that Wang Zezhi would not come back.

Everyone was in high spirits and walked all the way towards the coal mine in the southeast of Yuxian County, and everyone walked quietly along the way.

The team is in good order, after Li Hua's brainwashing and training, these people are no longer what they used to be, and Wang Zezhi, who is in the Chinese army, is very satisfied with these people.

Xiao Liuzi, as a sentry agent, led people to investigate the surrounding movements from time to time. First Chinese Network

However, the news brought back was safe, and there was nothing wrong all the way, and soon everyone arrived in Yuxian.

When he arrived in Yuxian, Wang ordered not to disturb the people, and ordered the troops to take a detour from the mountains to the coal mines in the southeast.

In fact, he was avoiding Wang Er, according to the sentinel who monitored Wang Er, Wang Er was not willing to be lonely, and he has been making frequent small moves recently.

After Yuxian, it is only 20 miles away from the mining area, the mountains here are complicated, the road is rugged, Wang Zezhi ordered the team to walk more cautiously.

After entering the mountain, in order to prevent bandits from ambushing and attacking along the way, Wang Zezhi asked Xiao Liuzi to send all the sentries under him.

The road was peaceful, and I didn't see a single bandit, let alone a bandit, not even a single person.

At noon, they finally arrived two miles outside the mining area, and Wang Zezhi ordered the team to be reorganized.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

At a distance of two miles, Wang Zezhi could still clearly hear the sound of cannons and the earth-shattering shouts of killing.

Wang Zeyi was shocked, he didn't know whether this cannon belonged to the people of Guangdao or the other people or to defend the mine.

Seeing this, Xiao Liuzi hurriedly organized a sentry to investigate the situation.

"Kill! After taking the stockade, the brothers drank wine and ate meat. ”

The mine had a solid wall, with Fran cannons and crossbows.

The noisy bandits under the Zhaimen Plantation Light Road continued to charge without fear of death, and you could see the corpses lying on the ground under the Zhaimen, which were all thieves who died in battle.

"Don't be afraid, there are few of them, as long as we rush in, the brothers will eat and drink spicy food."

Chongguang Dao drank a bowl of wine and shouted loudly with a knife.

He looked at his brother who had already attacked the village, and his face turned red with excitement.

"It's on the wall, brothers work hard, the wine and meat are inside." Chongguang Dao looked at the brothers who had already attacked the wall, jumped on the table and shouted vigorously.

Being shouted by him like this, these thieves looked at the brothers who attacked the wall, and shouted one by one, attacking more vigorously.

Xiao Liuzi kept these situations in mind, immediately turned around, and went to report to Wang Zezhi.

When Wang Zezhi heard this, without saying a word, he ordered to attack from behind them.

After the sergeants under his command arrived behind them, some people recognized the light path, and there was a panic in the team, they were a little reluctant to attack the light path and the others, because in the hearts of these people, the light path and the others were still their brothers.

Seeing this, Wang Zezhi shouted the order, but anyone who killed the thief was rewarded with ten taels of silver, and those who dared to disobey the military order were beheaded on the spot.

These sergeants were awe-struck and tightened their weapons.

Wang Zezhi ordered the soldiers to deploy artillery aimed at the thieves who were attacking the village such as Chongguangdao, and ordered the archers to line up on the left side, the halberd and shield soldiers pressed in the center, and the shotguns and three-eyed guns followed.

"Open fire."

After adjusting the angle of the Franc cannon, the king ordered the fire to be fired, and at the same time, the archers turned on the burst fire mode.

After shooting the arrows in their hands, they held their swords and followed behind the shotguns and three-eyed guns, relying on the halberd shield soldiers to press towards them.

Chongguangdao and others have already attacked the village for most of the day, and they have lost thousands of people.

At this moment, it was first attacked by artillery, and then a rain of arrows like a dark cloud hit, and the losses were heavy for a while.

"The wind is tight~"

Standing on a high place, he saw Wang Zezhi riding a tall horse, and he was shocked and immediately shouted.

I don't know if the one hundred musket team brought by Wang Zezhi that day played a role, and it actually gave a feeling that the light path was invincible, and when he saw Wang Zezhi, he hurriedly took the hundreds of elites beside him to run first.
