At this time, the weather was late, and the Laizhou army and the white pole soldiers who had marched for a day were very tired.

After a little discussion, Wang Rui and Qin Liangyu unanimously decided to camp on the side of Niangniang Temple Mountain. Anyway, this Zunhua City is right in front of you, and you can't run, so you can fight it tomorrow.

However, Wang Rui didn't want the city to live in peace overnight. He asked the four musket battalions other than the cavalry battalion to organize four night attack teams, with four artillery squads, to launch artillery attacks on the city in turn.

Well, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, and they can shoot at any time!

At the foot of Niangniang Temple Mountain, the camp of the Ming army was full of jubilation. More than 1,000 soldiers rescued by Liu Zhilun's unit are lining up to receive vegetable porridge, multigrain cakes, and "field canned food" under the organization of the Laizhou Army's personal guards.

For these "hungry goods" who usually drink some gruel and nibble on a black multigrain cake, they will be satisfied, the food of the Laizhou Army is really shocking!

After each soldier received his food, he was immediately led by the commanders of the Laizhou army who were waiting on the side.

Zhou Jian is such a soldier of Liu Zhilun's department who was led into the ranks of the Laizhou army. Zhou Jian, the character of the scholar. Student, a native of Santun Camp in Tongzhou, Beizhili.

His parents, wife, and children were killed by the captives, and he himself escaped by visiting friends. Zhou Shi, who had experienced a huge change, had a great change in his heart and decided to take revenge from Rong to Manchu.

When Liu Zhilun led a temporary patchwork army through Tongzhou, Zhou Shixiang was recruited in such a daze and became a member of Liu Zhilun's so-called "Eastern Expeditionary Army".

"You're in luck! Ha ha! Zhou Yuntai dragged Zhou Shixiang away.

"What? What luck is good? Zhou Shixiang smacked his lips and drank the hot thick porridge, while munching on the multigrain cake.

"You'll find out when you go. Hey, you will eat it when you arrive, no one will rob you! Zhou Yuntai said with a smile.

"Ahh After arriving at Qi Jiawu's camp, Zhou Shixiang quickly devoured the food he received, and felt his round belly happily.

"Soldier Zhou Shixiang, welcome to the Qi family of the Laizhou Army Guards! This Qi family knife once participated in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River with me, and now I will give it to you! ”

Zhou Yuntai first took out a Qi family knife with a scabbard that was almost touched and glowed, and solemnly handed it to Zhou Shixiang.

"For me?" Zhou Shixiang hesitated, but still received it.

"Soldier Zhou Shixiang, I want to tell you: Qi Jiawu was rebuilt after the victory in Gu'an. This glorious name comes from the mouth of Lord Wang, the general of the general army of Dengzhou Town. In the ensuing pursuit, Qi Jiawu eliminated two captives. This spear once pierced the body of the captive Tartar, and now I give it to you! ”

"Thank you, Captain!" When he took the spear handed by Zhou Yuntai again, Zhou Shixiang could no longer remain calm.

"Brother Zhou Shixiang! This is the cotton coat that my superiors issued to me when I first joined the Laizhou Army. I'll give it to you, dress warmly, and let's go kill the Tartars together! ”

"Brother Zhou Shixiang! ......" One by one, the soldiers of the Qi family stepped forward one after another to send their gifts and wishes.

"Soldier Zhou Shixiang! Are you willing to join the Laizhou Army like your brothers and be loyal to the general? ”

In the end, all six people from Qi Jiawu looked at Zhou Shixiang eagerly and asked in unison.

"I do!" With tears in his eyes, Zhou Shixiang replied in as loud a voice as possible.

The same scene was staged in every corner of the Laizhou military camp at the same time. The soldiers of the Ming Army, who had survived the bloody battle, were moved to tears and consciously and voluntarily joined the Laizhou Army.

"Brother Wang! You're doing this, do you want to get it! ”

Ma Xianglin, who was patrolling the camp with Wang Rui, was both excited and surprised after participating in a welcome ceremony with Wang Rui.

"Haha, the battlefield is more dangerous, and more people are safe! These people are good seedlings for the rest of their lives in the big waves. Only by joining our Laizhou Army can they truly become a warrior who kills prisoners. ”

Wang Rui laughed confidently and laughed confidently.

"Let's go! Go meet our squire. Wang Rui summoned Fang Yuan, Zhang Er and others, and walked to the camp where Liu Zhilun was housed.

"Wang Rui, the general of Dengzhou Town and the general of Zhengdong, meet Lord Liu, the squire of the military department!" Wang Rui bowed slightly, but did not kneel.

Just kidding, let Lao Tzu kneel again?! Playing the noble and martial arts for Lao Tzu? Is Lao Tzu's knife unfavorable?

"Ahh Liu Zhilun was excited, and suddenly stood up from behind the small dining table: "You are General Wang?" ”

He had been hungry for too long, and he had suddenly eaten too much, and when he stood up, he suddenly lost his balance. Fortunately, Liu Xuemin, the family member next to him, supported him in time, so that he would not fall and eat.

"It's Ben Jiang!" Wang Rui smiled silently.

"Good man, good man! Ministers of the country! Liu Zhilun was so excited that his gray beard trembled, and he pointed at Wang Rui and praised it repeatedly.

"The adults recruited their own volunteers to fight for the country, which is really a model for civil and military officials! Therefore, the righteous army of adults will be taken over. There is a good report of the court, and I hope that the adults will advise! ”

Wang Rui waved his hand, and Fang Yuan handed over a written report. Zhang Er and Chen Song suddenly became nervous, staring at Liu Zhilun without turning their eyes.

The report is written splendidly, what Liu was surrounded by several times the strength of the captives, coinciding with the Laizhou army and the white pole soldiers to help, Lord Liu immediately commanded the army to counterattack, beheading more than a thousand captives.

Liu Zhilun nodded in approval while watching. This General Wang Ruiwang is too good at being a man, and he is purely sending a great achievement to his own head, Liu Zhilun will not like it.

"General Wang, it's just that this work of recovering Zunhua has not been realized yet! Isn't it too early to write it into the recital like this? ”

Liu Zhilun frowned, and asked Wang Rui with the recital.

The artillery bombardment and cavalry charge of the Laizhou Army today, Liu Zhilun personally saw it on the top of the mountain, and it was indeed extremely powerful.

But if he wanted to say that he would be able to capture Zunhua City without much effort on the second day, he would never believe it.

"Not early, not early! Write it first, and you won't be nervous when you get there. Wang Rui continued to smile.

"Oh! Does General Wang dare to make a bet with the old man? If the general can capture Zunhua City tomorrow, the old man will entrust his more than 1,000 sons to you! ”

After the tragic battle in Zunhua, Liu Zhilun finally realized that it was not an easy task to lead troops to fight.

So, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to bet and hand over his rebel army to Wang Rui, who was the most capable of fighting, and it could be regarded as an explanation to the soldiers who followed him!

"That's great!" Wang Rui immediately high-fived Liu Zhilun as an oath. said in his heart, Lao Tzu finally doesn't have to fall into the notoriety of killing and resisting civil officials.
