Chapter Fifty-Nine: Bandit Training

In the days that followed, Wang Rui arranged a holiday for the workshop for the Spring Festival, and at the same time launched his training to suppress bandits. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He transferred the recruits from the Jimo Battalion, Zhenhai Fort and Fushan Qianshu batch by batch to cooperate with the veterans to go out to suppress the thieves. Wang Rui's recruits quickly grew up in actual combat.

Due to Wang Rui's introduction of the system of military pay and combat allowance, and the officers did a lot of propaganda and agitation in the new barracks, especially when they saw that the squads that were drawn to participate in the war received white flowers, and the soldiers who returned from the war quickly became official soldiers.

A group of squads that had never participated in the battle all handed over letters of invitation to Wang Rui, and the atmosphere of the soldiers of Wang Rui's army who were happy when they heard the battle was further strengthened.

Liu Laosan's team was lucky to be transferred out, and went to attack the bandits in Dazhu Mountain with the bandit team led by Long Duan, Zhu Lei and others.

The bandit leader of Dazhu Mountain is named Zhou Yuankang, who was originally an oil seller in Zhongzhou, and after he fell to the ground of Denglai, he relied on bragging and flattery to get the position of an executioner in Pingdu Prefecture.

This week, Yuankang was quite righteous, and recruited a group of people who killed pigs and dogs as minions, and was respectfully called "Master Kong" by this group of people!

This "Master Kong" relied on his identity as a member of the yamen, and quickly hooked up with the red-card girl in the "Yang Shitai" brothel in the city to welcome the spring. For a while, its spring breeze was proud, and his ambition was so satisfied that he swelled up, wanting to compete with Diao Tatar, the fast-catcher, for the position of the fast-catcher.

However, this Diao Tatar is the son of the Pingdu Prefecture Zhi Shi Tong. The family is a standard second-generation official, and the relationship is not comparable to this "Master Kong".

After several operations, this "Master Kong" was charged with corruption, and he wanted to take his life as soon as possible.

In desperation, Zhou Yuankang had no choice but to take Li Qingcheng, "Two Barrels of Oil" and other brothers to flee to Dazhu Mountain in Jimo County and settle down for the grass.

These bandits united with righteousness, fought very bravely, and soon became famous, and Zhou Yuankang even gained the prestige of a "big tiger"!

On this day, when Wang Rui arrived at the foot of Dazhu Mountain with the bandit team, he was also surprised to see the neat queue of bandits. Damn, bandits actually have this formation?

Wang Rui was surprised, and several sentry spies in front of him quickly ran back, and when they got closer, they reported: "My lord, this gang of bandits has occupied a favorable terrain in the middle of the mountain, and they have already set up a position!" ”

Several sentinels reported to Wang Rui very carefully.

Of course, Wang Rui would not be afraid, and immediately ordered the recruits to be in front, and the veterans pressed the formation, and launched a formation to attack the mountain.

When the two armies faced each other, Zhou Yuankang held the big knife used by the executioner, and took Li Qingcheng, "Two Barrels of Oil" and other hardcore brothers to take the lead in the battle!

Liu Laosan, who joined the army from the Jimo Battalion, stood in the first row of the front line, looking at the hideous faces of the bandits, and hearing their screams, he couldn't help but feel a little dry in his throat and his feet were becoming soft.

"What to do? What to do? Liu Laosan's heart trembled.

"Raise your gun!" In a panic, he suddenly heard the captain shouting, Liu Laosan immediately settled down, held the spear in both hands, and raised it diagonally.

"Tiger!" All the soldiers shouted in unison!

In the midst of nervous waiting, the bandits' front line rushed closer and closer, as if their haphazard weapons were about to attack.

"Thorn!" Hearing only a shout from the captain, Liu Laosan reflexively stabbed the spear violently, and the sharp head of the spear pierced directly into the left shoulder of a square-faced man wearing brocade clothes opposite.

The rest of the soldiers in the front team also had a good record, and almost all the bandits in front of them were stabbed.

This brocade-clothed man was none other than Zhou Yuankang, the bandit leader of Dazhu Mountain, who endured great pain, turned around and shouted: "Retreat!" Defend the mountain gate and fight! ”

When the bandits in the rear team heard this, they immediately turned around and ran towards the mountain gate.

When Liu Laosan saw that this brocade-clothed man was actually directing the battle, he immediately judged that this person was a bandit leader or something. His head was full of blood, and he took a step forward and stabbed Zhou Yuankang in the back with a fierce shot.

The sharp spear with Liu Laosan's momentum pierced Zhou Yuankang's back with a puff and pinned him to the ground.

Liu Laosan rushed forward, stepped on Zhou Yongkang's back and pulled out his spear, and shouted excitedly: "I stabbed the bandit leader to death!" ”

When the bandits heard Liu Laosan's shout, they became even more panicked, desperately trying to escape from this group of officers and troops and flee back to the cottage, and the narrow mountain road became even more crowded.

Liu Laosan was already red-eyed at this time, and he chased after him excitedly, stabbing the back of the spear in front of him one by one.

Wang Rui also noticed the changes in front of him, and saw a tall and thin man in his army charging forward majestically, constantly stabbing the fleeing bandits around him, and then ordered the whole army to charge forward.

Liu Laosan chased the fleeing bandits, entered the cottage with his front and back feet, and stabbed over a few slower bandits, watching the bandits run away in the cottage, then gasped and stopped.

When he stopped, he remembered to look back. It was okay that he didn't look at it, but when he looked at it, he found that there was no companion by his side.

"Oops!" He screamed, his feet went limp, and he fell to the ground!

Groups of soldiers rushed past Liu Laosan's side, chasing the fleeing bandits and stabbing wildly, and blood flowed like a sea in Dazhu Mountain.

Wang Rui also entered the cottage under the escort of the personal guards, and after seeing Liu Laosan, who was still panting like a dog, he asked with a smile: "What's your name?" ”

When Liu Laosan was sitting on the ground just now, he remembered that he rushed up without a military order, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, and replied in a low voice: "Liu Laosan." ”

"Soldier Liu Laosan! Hold your chest up! Wang Rui Zhengse shouted: "Chief Ben asks you again, what is your name?" ”

Liu Laosan stood up violently and shouted hoarsely: "Report to the chief!" I'm a soldier Liu Youcai! ”

When Wang Rui and his officers summed up the post-war war, they had to constantly improve the process and norms of the anti-bandit operation every time. Therefore, after attacking Dazhu Mountain, Wang Rui made arrangements according to the regulations for suppressing bandits.

After the interrogation, the bandits handed over the recruits to assassinate and practice their courage, and the money and food of the women who were robbed by the bandits were registered and brought back to Fushan.

Now this anti-bandit battle is an out-and-out difference in the army under Wang Rui's command. There is no danger in fighting bandits and bandits, but every time they are dispatched, each soldier can receive a combat allowance of one or two silver. The officers who led the team in each recruit team were crying and clamoring to lead the team into battle!

But there will be an accident in everything, and the "Second Brigade of Joint Bandits" led by Chen Ming and Zhu Lei ran into trouble in Dazeshan. If it weren't for Xiong Wenjie and Huang Haiqing, who went together, to react very quickly, they would almost have been defeated by this group of horse thieves.

This gang of horse thieves is entrenched in the south of Daze Mountain, which stretches out over the mountains of Pingdu and some of the peaks of Laixi.

The south side of the cottage where the horse thieves are located is relatively gentle, so they can ride directly up the mountain. Moreover, there are jungles, high mountains and cliffs in the north of this cottage, which is quite difficult to attack.

Kong Qingdong, the leader of the horse thieves, was originally a monk of Beida Temple in Jiaozhou, but he couldn't stand the rules and precepts of Buddhism. Drinking, eating meat and shopping in the flower street, as long as it is delicious, drinking and fun, he is full of interest.

Especially the horseback riding, which is his favorite.

There is a carriage and horse shop in the southwest of this Jiaozhou city, called "Houlilai", which is driven by the son of the original Jiaozhou Tongzhi of Zhishi. This Bo Gongzi relied on his father's Yu Yin, and his business was very open, and everyone in Jiaozhou City had to be called "Bo Big Boss" when they saw it!

This big boss Bo has a lot of Buddha fate, and from time to time he organizes a Buddhist meeting, and often quotes a Buddhist language and Buddhist sayings between his words, which makes him famous in the hearts of these stupid men and fools in Jiaozhou City.

There is even a broken talent Sima Rotten, who was once called to the carriage and horse shop to eat some leftover cakes and soup, so he boasted that he was the "sun of salvation"!

This super horse lost the monk, so he was introduced to this bad show and was able to appear in front of Big Boss Bo.

Although Kong Qingdong, a flower monk in Beida Temple, is not a scholar and unskilled, but this big boss also borrowed the Buddha's fate to pretend to be a ghost, and the two smell like each other, and they actually saw each other very happily, and they knew each other from a little bit.

I never thought that Boss Bo was locked up by the government because of collusion with the smell of incense cult. Monk Kong and Sima Lang were also implicated because of this.

The bad show talent Sima Rotten's mind turned quickly, and he immediately teamed up with Monk Kong to coerce a group of horsemen and thieves, and went up the mountain and fell into the grass.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the officials and soldiers were all short of horses, and the group of horse thieves of Monk Kong were all skilled, and the two of them instilled a lot of so-called macro views on killing the rich and helping the poor to the horse thieves.

The horse thieves were deceived, and when they robbed their homes, they actually had a sense of mission and were very brave in battle. The surrounding officials and soldiers could only stare at this group of horse thieves.

After a long time, the two of them wondered if they could find an opportunity to ask for a recruitment. However, this An did not recruit, but because he robbed the traders who came from Fushan, he led Wang Rui's second brigade of joint bandits.

Chen Ming, Zhu Lei and others have participated in several anti-bandit operations, and each time the suppression of bandits has been smooth.

Because every time they go out to suppress bandits, they can't fight at all, as long as the army in front of Fushan charges, the bandits and bandits with messy and tattered weapons will scatter and be chased by the bandit brigade.

Considering the inferior combat effectiveness of the bandits and bandits, in order to achieve the purpose of training, Wang Rui asked each bandit suppression brigade to fight head-on as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, this time in the "Juyi Mountain" of the Confucian monk in Daze Mountain, the army under Chen Ming and Zhu Lei encountered danger.

Although there were also sentinels sent to spy on them, they never expected that this group of bandits had so many horses, and they were all good at horse warfare.

This major negligence caused Chen Ming, Zhu Lei and others to lead the army and rush to the "Juyi Mountain" directly.

At noon that day, Monk Kong and Sima Ran, a pair of good friends, were gathering a group of brothers to blow and chop the sea, and a pony thief rushed in.

He shouted as he ran: "The big boss, the official army is here!" ”
