At this time, the tiger was already close to the tree vine, only 150 steps away from Wu Junzhen, which happened to be within the shooting range of the electric gun, Wu Junzhen drank a little water, and ordered the soldiers to raise the gun and seriously aim ahead, shouting: "Release!" "The buckshot went out with the smoke, and I thought it hit the tiger?

But who knew that after the smoke dissipated, the military doctors on the tree pointed to the tiger and said in surprise, "Master Qian, be careful!" The tiger went around the side. Only then did Wu Junzhen realize that the Fire Gun Team might not be able to beat the agile tigers! I wanted to continue to reload, but the tiger sped up his running speed, and the military doctor on the tree hurriedly told the soldiers the location of the tiger, and the Ming saber player was fast, and the tiger who rushed over shouted "Kill!" ”

Then he swung two knives to the left and right and cut off the tiger's feet, only to hear (whoosh) the tiger fell to the ground and died, the soldiers slowly stepped forward to check to confirm that there was no breath before they breathed a sigh of relief, and the military doctors on the tree also slowly lay down, one of the military doctors accidentally under the light of the fire fold, saw that there seemed to be a red fruit at the vine next to it?

So the medics pointed there and shouted, and the soldiers also raised their torches and walked over to look at the position of the medic's fingers, and found that there seemed to be fruit growing in the ground? Is this a novelty? The soldiers were very curious, and they walked straight forward to check whether it was a medicinal herb or not, and sure enough, they found a lot of (grass fruits)?

Wu Junzhen let everyone climb up the cliff and sat breathlessly on the halfway side of the mountain with a breeze, looking at the fairyland-like peaks of Huashan Mountain, they forgot their task for a while, and the military doctors thought that this last type of medicinal materials must be in the arid land?

However, it is unlikely that there are abundant aquatic plants in the Huashan area, and the only possibility is near the farmland below the mountain, after all, it is very dry and it is very likely that licorice is there?

So Wu Junzhen led everyone down the mountain, on the way the soldiers found a lot of wild fruits, everyone walked all the way to pick them and put them in the back basket to satisfy hunger, Wu Junzhen also picked a few to eat, it felt good? The military doctor who knows a little common sense introduces this kind of (yellow apple and bitter plum).

Then Wu Junzhen found a string of black things in front of him? I don't know what it is? Some of the soldiers guessed; Could it be wild black grapes? The medic came up and picked a bunch and tasted it, and they said, "This is not a wild black grape!" This is a sweet and sour taste of mulberries. The soldiers were so happy that they picked a lot of food and swept down the mountainside with a full load.

When they came to the bottom of the mountain, it was already the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, but the sun was still relatively hot, and everyone was sweating, and the soldiers did not dare to touch the armor and hats on their bodies because the heat was too strong, it was too hot, and the military doctors judged the route according to the direction they had just observed from a high place, and led everyone to the southwest.

After walking about a mile, he saw that there was actually a dry field in front of him, the land that looked like it had not rained for a long time had cracked into large cracks, and there were hardly any weeds in the field.

There is also an indescribable grass next to it, I don't know what the name is? Wu Junzhen patted the military doctor Lang Zhong and asked, "Lang Zhong, dare to ask what kind of grass is on that half-slope land?" "Because it's a little far away, the military doctor can't see it clearly, but it's certainly not ordinary grass! What can grow in such a dry environment must be a rare species, the military doctor Lang Zhong quickly walked towards the side of Banpo, and Wu Junzhen waved his hand to let the soldiers keep up.

When he approached, he saw a sigh from the military doctor, "Oops! It's really a good idea! Mr. Qian, this is exactly the medicinal herb (licorice) we are looking for. Wu Junzhen was very happy to learn that the last medicinal herb was in front of him, and he picked the medicinal herbs with the soldiers.

Then he walked to the place where he had bolted his horse before, rode his horse, and hurried back to Tongguanwei.

On the 5th day of August, the eight kings of the invasion army: Zhang Xianzhong, gathered a large army to besiege Hu Guangcheng announced the political secretary Yuezhou Mansion, Ming Chengtian Governor: Wang Yangji, when he learned that the invasion army was coming, he personally led a thousand elites from Yuezhou Taitong Lake to flee to Changsha Mansion by boat, so that the local garrison surrendered to the thieves one after another.

Even the Ming Yue Prefecture magistrate stationed in Yongdingwei: Cai Daoxian, also opened the city to welcome the army in, and when the good news was frequent, the Eight Kings also led the army from Xianning County, Wuchang Prefecture into Puqi County, so that the two sides of the attack forced the governor of Ming Chengtian to flee again.

At the same time, Changde Mansion and Changsha Mansion were in a hurry, and officials from all over the country hurriedly played the governor of Minghuguang: Wang Jukui, and ordered him to quickly send troops to suppress the thieves to prevent them from continuing to go south, who knew that the governor of Minghuguang, who got the news, was a little afraid of the thieves, but he was afraid that the court would scold his sins, so he wrote back (Now the thieves and soldiers are going south in two ways, and the official is worried about the safety of Changsha Mansion and may hurt His Royal Highness Prince Ji!). Therefore, he moved to Changsha Province), which was actually just an excuse for him to escape.

When the vanguard of the army reported that the troops in the area of the Eight Great Kings of Yuezhou Mansion were empty, the Eight Great Kings led the rear army into the Yuezhou Mansion to grab supplies, the Governor of Minghuguang: Li Qiande, the General Soldier of Minghuguang: Kong Xigui, the two discussed whether to meet the enemy? Governor Minghuguang proposed: "The thieves and soldiers are menacing, and I think it is necessary to take advantage of the large number of people to fight with our army, and our army's current strength is not enough to fight with the enemy for the time being!" Only with a strategy can you be sure that you can win? ”

The commander of Minghu Guang unanimously believed him, so he asked, "I don't know what the Governor's plan is?" "Cunning, he selected the accurate musketeers and artillerymen all went up to the city tower, trying to use himself as bait to deceive the thieves, in the slogan of opening the city gate as an attack to lure the thieves into the city to ambush, after listening to the story of the governor of Minghu Guang, the general army of Minghu Guang was greatly supported, in order to make the thieves think that there was really an ambush army, he also sent 2,000 elites in his battalion to ambush on the edge of the moat under the city and dug trenches for the soldiers to hide, and sent people to the Liukou camp to spread the word.

At this moment, when the Eight Kings, who had just set up the barracks, were discussing the next battle plan with the generals, they received a report from the soldiers who broke into the account and said, "Qiqi Eight Kings, there is a Ming envoy outside the camp who has come to our army to seek peace, do you want to summon it?" "The Eight Kings are worried that there is no sailor to cross the lake and go on an expedition! Now it's good that the Ming army surrendered on its own?

So the Eight Kings immediately summoned the envoy and asked, "Which general sent you to surrender?" The envoy replied, "Back to the king's words, the governor of Huguang sent a small one to surrender to you!" "But the generals next to him feel that something is wrong? Since it's a surrender, why don't you have any tokens? It's just empty talk for fear of fraud?

The young and promising general Anxi: Li Dingguo, stood up and whispered and persuaded, "Eight kings of Qiqi, if the Ming army wants to surrender?" Then let them lay down their arms and come out according to the prompts of our army. These words made the Eight Kings feel comfortable listening to them, so they told the envoy their intentions, and instantly shocked the envoy, thinking that this must have been proposed by the thief general just now! He retorted, "King Qiyu, the governor of my family said that although he surrendered to you, after all, the lives of his family are still under the control of the imperial court!" In case you anger the court, you may be affected by your family, so the governor specially said that as long as the army reaches the city, our army will definitely go out of the city to greet you, and please forgive me! ”

This discerning person can see that eighty percent is fraudulent? But for the simple-minded Eight Kings, there's nothing wrong with it, isn't it just to go into the city and accept surrender? He agreed without hesitation and made an appointment with the envoy, and happily sent the envoy back.

The Eight Kings, who felt that they had made a lot of money, picked up the wine bowl and drank a few bowls in succession, and said, "Good wine, today is really a happy event, and the spirit is refreshing?" Someone is filling Lao Tzu with it. General Anxi, who felt deeply uncomfortable, reminded again: "Eight kings, you have to keep a hand to guard against the Ming army!" Be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years? "Who wants to be drunk, the eight kings who are happy to hear this, the whole person is not happy! He thinks Li Dingguo is scolding himself for not knowing how to analyze the situation? So he scolded with the strength of the wine and said, "Bold! Lao Tzu has been dealing with Ming officers for so many years, can't he tell whether it is a real surrender or a fake surrender? The scolded general Anxi clasped his fists and saluted, shook his head and sighed in disappointment and walked out of the camp tent.

The next day, the eight kings arrived as promised, led the army to the city of Baling County, and shouted, "Hey! The Ming soldiers in the city listened to me as the eight kings: Zhang Xianzhong, quickly open the city gate and let Lao Tzu enter. After shouting twice, the Ming army invited the governor of Minghuguang out, but the commander of Minghuguang was not very relieved and said, "Your Excellency, do you want to change a stand-in?" He has always been upright, patted the shoulder of General Ming Huguang and replied, "No need! If the Governor dies today, it will also be for the court, and the Governor will die a glorious death, so there is no need to worry about me! Let's prepare to fight back against the thieves! ”

After speaking, he walked up to the city tower with the soldiers and responded: "The eight kings under the city? I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but I'm going to open the gates of the city to greet you, and I'm going to open the gates quickly. The eight kings of the city waved happily to let the army enter the city, but just a few steps later, they saw a row of Ming troops with firearms running out of the city gate when they opened, and a row of Ming troops with firearms stood under the city. ”

As soon as the words fell, the governor of Minghuguang on the city quickly commanded the Ming army gunners and the city artillerymen to shoot, and fifteen attacking guns blew up the front team of rogue soldiers and horses together, and the rogue army that was bombarded by artillery fire suddenly panicked, and the eight kings grabbed the reins and shouted, "Don't panic!" Quickly organize a counterattack. ”

Then he was shot by the fire team at the gate of the city in turn, and the former military governor of the army: Wang Dingguo, the vanguard army suffered heavy losses! had to quickly cover the evacuation of the Eight Kings, and the general soldiers of Minghu Guang in the city wanted to run away when they saw the thieves? Just let the soldiers aim at the sky and launch an arrow, and in an instant, a group of Ming troops with multiple torches appeared on the side of the moat.
