"Since they dare to come to attack us, then let them pay a heavy price and kill the enemy for General Ben!" At the outside door of Zhuojiabao, Liu Xia stood on a high platform, wearing iron armor, shining in the morning glow.

Below the high platform are the three battalions under Liu Xia, the Tiger Battalion, the Wolf Howling Battalion, and the Lion Battalion, with nearly 1,000 soldiers, although their clothes are a little tattered, but they are extremely powerful.

"Kill~~~~!!"

"Huhu~~~"

The soldiers of the third battalion, holding up their weapons in one hand, kept shouting in their mouths. The displaced people who were near Zhuojiabao had already been driven away by Liu Xia's people, because this place might soon become a battlefield, and no one else could be here anymore.

Liu Xia looked at the soldiers of the third battalion with satisfaction, nodded, and shouted loudly: "Did you see it?" Liu Xia pointed to the dozens of cauldrons that were placed at the gate of Zhuojiabao at this time, the bottom of the cauldron was burning with a bewitching flame, and the soldiers of the logistics team next to the cauldron were constantly adding ingredients to it, and there were pigs and sheep being slaughtered not far away, and then the hair was removed, the internal organs were dug out, the best meat was cut, and then put into the cauldron.

Although these soldiers had eaten a full meal not long ago, many people still drooled when they saw this scene.

"Look, there's a big piece of meat, a big piece of deliciousness, and when you come back from winning the battle, they've cooked the meat in it, and you want to eat it or not! If we want to eat, we will fight!! ”

"Roar~~~"

"I want to eat !!"

"Battle !!"

"Whoop~~~~"

"Drumming!"

"Bang~~Bang~~Bang~~"

The spirit of the soldiers has been mobilized, in ancient times the soldiers are not as good as in the 21st century, the food in the contemporary army is good, but in the ancient times, it is good to be able to eat enough, let alone meat.

Similarly, what Liu Xia gave the soldiers for every meal before was not meat, but just pasta.

Liu Xia is confident that his army can defeat that messy coalition army, and the reason why he came out again is because on the one hand, it can inspire the soldiers to kill the enemy with their hearts, and on the other hand, there are indeed a lot of pigs and sheep in Zhuojiabao, and it is impossible for Liu Xia to take these pigs and sheep away, if he stays, it will be a waste, so Liu Xia thought that he would simply kill them all and improve the lives of the soldiers.

It just so happened that there was a coalition army that wanted to attack Liu Xia today, so Liu Xia came up with such a scene. In fact, even if there was no battle today, Liu Xia would also slaughter these pigs and sheep.

Liu Xia waved his hand, the gate of Zhuojiabao slowly closed, and the cauldron with the fragrance slowly disappeared in front of everyone, and many soldiers stretched their necks to look at the churning delicacy.

Liu Xia said to Wang Shishi, the captain of the personal guard beside him: "What about my artillery squad?" ”

Wang Shishi said: "General, the artillery squad has been following the pro-guard team, and now it is under the stage, does the general want to see it?" ”

Liu Xia shook his head and said, "Don't look at it, you can tell the captain of the artillery squad in a while, let him take the tiger squat cannon with us to go on the expedition, that's good, let him really play the tiger squat cannon with the majesty of the tiger and hit the enemy fiercely." ”

"Yes, General".

Since getting the Tiger Squat Cannon, Liu Xia has never used the Tiger Squat Cannon, and this time Liu Xia wants to see how powerful the Tiger Squat Cannon is.

During the Ming Dynasty, the world at that time had basically developed to firearms, cold weapons had gradually become very rare, and Western countries began to use firearms, and their development of firearms had surpassed that of the Ming Dynasty, of course, it was only a little more than a little at this time, and it was still very easy for the Ming Dynasty to catch up.

However, after the Qing army entered the customs and ruled China, they abolished the muskets developed by the Ming Dynasty and discarded them. Of course, there are reasons why the quality of these muskets is too poor, but even if these firearms are of poor quality, they can still be built seriously.

But they were not used at all, so that the firearms that had been developed were destroyed in one fell swoop, and from the age of firearms, they returned to the age of cold weapons.

At the same time, Western firearms continued to develop, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the two had been hundreds of years behind each other.

When the Westerners came over, the Qing court was still using cannons from hundreds of years ago, which is ridiculous to think about, closed off from the country, self-righteous, and did not learn from foreign experience at all, so that the difference in science and technology became bigger and bigger.

In the end, what was the Treaty of Shimonoseki, the Xinchou Treaty one by one, the treaties that lost power and humiliated the country, the Qing Dynasty ** seemed to eat jelly beans one after another, and there was no burden in my heart at all.

It is also "protecting the Qing Dynasty and not protecting China", this vast Chinese land is not their Tatars, whatever you give to others, as long as the Northeast and Changbai Mountain are still left, then there is nothing to do with their Manchu Tatars, after all, their land has not been invaded.

As for giving **Taiwan or something, it's the same for anyone, there's no pressure, it's not their Qing Dynasty, and there's no problem if it's missing, anyway, there's still a lot of land they occupy, it's not bad.

But every bit of land was opened up by our Han ancestors with blood and sweat, and it was thrown to others in vain, and they were not embarrassed or even happy, after all, they once said "measure the material resources of China and make friends with the country".

As long as most of the land they occupy is not shaken, what about giving what is here to those Westerners?

"Master, we will definitely win a big victory this time, with me Zhang Qian, those homeless people will definitely be killed, hahahaha" I saw a middle-aged man riding a thin jujube horse with a full face and a pig's tail braid, and said with a smile to Master Li, who was sitting in the carriage next to him with a lewd head.

Then Master Li smiled and said, "That's, that's, if the county lieutenant is going, he will definitely be caught, and the county magistrate will be very happy at that time." ”

This coalition army of seven big families and the county government united, starting from the paper shop, has been going to Zhuojiabao, they don't know at this time that Liu Xia has already known about their troops, they are still thinking that when the time comes, they will suddenly attack those poles, take advantage of the carelessness of the poles, and come to annihilate them all.

This kind of psychology is also normal, after all, in their hearts, the poles are a bunch of barbarians with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a big scar on their faces, and a big knife in their hands, and they don't have much brains at all, let alone use scouts to investigate the surrounding affairs.

In this army of 2,300 people, except for the person in charge of the seven families and the county lieutenant Zhang Qian, who rode a horse, and the master who was in a carriage, everyone else was walking, only a few of them were riding horses, and these horses were not good war horses, just horses that usually pulled goods.

Walking on foot was a bit slow, and it was very time-consuming to get up, and the paper shop where they gathered was more than thirty or forty miles away from Liu Xia's current location, and they had to walk for one or even two hours to reach it.

"This matter was facilitated by the master, and the master will definitely be rewarded by the adults at that time, don't forget that the elder brother is" The county lieutenant Zhang Qian showed his big yellow teeth and fat face, and tried to squeeze out a smile, and said to Master Li.

Master Li hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Where, this is the credit of Zhang Lao, Zhang Lao's credit, if there is no Zhang Lao, where will there be any coalition army, we have to thank Zhang Lao for his grace." ”

Master Li secretly glanced at the steward of the Zhang family not far away, intentionally or unintentionally, when he spoke, he hoped that the steward would keep what he had just said in his heart, and go back to tell Mr. Zhang, if he got Mr. Zhang's favor, it would be for him to resign from the position of the master, and he would happily submit his resignation to the county master.

Zhang Qian, the county lieutenant, as soon as he heard Master Li's words, this old fritter who had been in the officialdom for many years, immediately understood what Master Li meant, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Look at my mouth, I should fight, yes, it's all the credit of Zhang Lao, it's all Zhang Lao's credit, if there is no Zhang Lao, where will we have this opportunity." ”

At this time, the housekeeper of the Zhang family rode over and asked Zhang Qian, "How far is it to Zhuojiabao now?" ”

Zhang Qianyi saw that it was a member of the Zhang family, and his face suddenly showed a smile, and said: "It's not far, it's not far, it's less than thirty miles, follow this road, turn five or six corners and you can see Zhuojiabao."

…………

Liu Dazhuang walked to Liu Xia's side, and then said to Liu Xia, "General, the scout came to report just now, those big families are still twenty-five miles away from us."

"Hmph, if you want to touch me Liu Xia, let you stand and come over and lie down" Liu Xia looked at the distance and said with a cruel smile.

"Scout again!"

"General, we might as well concentrate our forces and take the initiative to attack and kill them one by one." Ma Peng stood aside and said to Liu Xia.

Liu Xia shook his head and said, "If you concentrate your forces, although you can beat them back, there are no people in the rear, and you can't annihilate them all." ”

"I looked at the terrain around here, although they are all plains, but there are a lot of dense woods, we can hide hundreds of people, we are all cavalry, we have a great advantage against their infantry, if you simply defeat them, these three hundred cavalry is enough, but if you want to annihilate them all, it is not so easy.

I will divide the troops on three sides, and then copy them in three ways, and I will definitely annihilate these families in one fell swoop.

I, Liu Xia, want them to understand that if they dare to provoke me Liu Xia, then don't think about leaving alive. ”

Others, originally very dissatisfied with Liu Xia's layout, thought that this was simply a superfluous move, those who came were not regular troops, and their combat effectiveness was also very low, and even those who had seen blood or not were not necessarily, Liu Xia even used cavalry to outflank them in three parts.

If it was really an army, Liu Xia would have done it right, but these were just some family members who had been working in the farmland, so many generals disagreed with Liu Xia's orders.

But as soon as Liu Xia said that just now, the others immediately understood Liu Xia's intentions, so it was so, all annihilated, no one was left, thinking of some generals, they felt that their necks were cold.
