Although Hu Yanzhuo is a descendant of the founding general, he can't change his essence, he is a traditional general, he likes to fight on the battlefield with real swords and guns, and he thinks that the new weapon is just a trick, so he is not convinced if he fails.

Wang Jin said: "I knew that I killed your chain of horses just now, since I am not convinced, you can organize the army, and we will fight again." ”

Hu Yanzhuo was really unambiguous, and immediately sorted out the soldiers and horses, which were still in the old formation, with the chain horses in the center and the light cavalry on both wings.

Over there, Wang Jin also commanded the five battalions of soldiers and horses to set up a formation, and the soldiers sat upright on their horses with a crossbow arrow in their hands. Hu Yanzhuo looked at it from a distance and sneered, he didn't think he could do it, he actually wanted to use light cavalry to compete with the chain of horses.

Han Tao said: "The situation is not good, they are holding a divine arm crossbow." ”

Hu Yanzhuo was a spirit, and when he looked up, he saw that the cavalry of the Jeju Army was holding a crossbow arrow, what was it if it wasn't a divine arm crossbow?

"This, this, how is this to be." Hu Yanzhuo knew very well that no matter how awesome the ironclad chain horse was, it was not invincible, and it was just as powerless in the face of the shooting of the divine arm crossbow.

The Divine Arm Crossbow is the natural nemesis of heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, don't look at your iron armor wearing very thick, and when you encounter the Divine Arm Crossbow, you will still wear it as a sugar gourd. With an effective range of two hundred meters, the terrifying penetration makes people shudder.

In fact, this is a trick played by Wang Jin, although the power of the divine arm crossbow is amazing, but it is also complicated to work, and the cost is too expensive, so it is not suitable for assembling a large number of troops. Tang Long only made a few hundred, and replaced them with ordinary crossbows, with a range of 100 meters, and the lethality is okay, but the appearance is the same as the divine arm crossbow, and it is used to confuse the eyes, but I didn't expect to really deceive Hu Yanzhuo this time.

When Hu Yanzhuo and Han Tao were hesitating, the cheap soldiers behind them stopped doing it, and a capital supervisor with the troops said: "You don't rush, you don't rush to get out of the way, we have to enter the city." "They are different from Hu Yanzhuo, Hu Yanzhuo was invited by Gao Yu to help, and they were trained by Gao Lian, although Gao Lian is a bit of a bastard, but he is still very good to his own soldiers, he is willing to spend money on food and equipment, and he is willing to spend money on what he has scavenged from the people.

Gao Lian's strength of 2,500 soldiers is not weak, with 500 cavalry and 2,000 infantry, and their training and equipment are of the highest quality.

Hu Yanzhuo looked at it and said, "Let's see the situation before deciding." ”

The governor said: "It is clear that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, scatter and see us." ”

Immediately let Hu Yanzhuo disperse the road, and led the soldiers to rush forward, with the cavalry taking the lead and the infantry following.

Wang Jin saw that there was really someone who was not afraid of death, and the arrow had to be sent on the string, and immediately ordered the flag to wave, and the crossbow arrows were like flying locusts in the sky, and pounced on the five hundred cavalry who took the lead, but the poor five hundred light cavalry were killed almost instantly, and after two rounds of crossbow arrows, the five hundred light cavalry were shot into hedgehogs by crossbow arrows and fell into the dust.

The infantry in the rear saw that the leaders were dead, and they retreated.

At this time, a voice came from the city, and Li Kui ordered someone to shout with Gao Lian's clothes: "Gao Lian has been captured, and you still don't surrender." ”

Hu Yanzhuo saw the cheap clothes, and did not suspect that there was fraud and discussed it with Han Tao and others.

Han Tao said: "This trip to the muddy water is not easy, Gao Yu wants to deal with Chao Gai, but where is Chao Gai is a fuel-saving lamp, if you don't get it right, it will be the end of the whole army, it took us more than ten years to pull up these 3,000 military horses, and it was wasted on infighting before we could contribute to the country, which is obviously not cost-effective." ”

"Then what do we do, where can we go back?" Hu Yanzhuo asked.

Han Tao said: "Gaotang has no owner at this time, let's go to Gaotang to guard, the local taxes and fees are enough for three thousand military horses." ”

Hu Yanzhuo said: "It's just like this, who let this Gao Lian be so useless, and let people capture it early." ”

Immediately Hu Yanzhuo retreated, and Yang Zhi led an army of 300 to watch them leave Jeju from a distance before he was relieved.

Let's say that the war in the city has been over, Li Kui and Bao Xu led a thousand men and horses to annihilate 500 people of the Vulcan Army trained by Gao Lian, of which more than 200 were killed and more than 200 surrendered. More than 30 people from Li Kui's army were also killed in battle, and the Vulcan Army was quite strong.

Forty or fifty merchants and people in the city were killed in battle, and more than a dozen shops were burned down, Li Yun led hundreds of people to arrest and start to extinguish fires and maintain order in the city, except for Gao Lian and He Tao and others.

Zhu Wu and Gongsun Sheng led 200 soldiers from the Military Justice Department to patrol to maintain order, and specially arrested the rebellious soldiers and the people who took advantage of the fire to rob. However, unexpectedly, the order was in order, and the merchants and people who burned down their houses lined up one by one to register the losses and receive temporary tents, food, etc., and no one crowded around.

Gongsun Sheng was very relieved and said, "It seems that the education in Jeju has not developed in vain, and the people know to obey the order." ”

Zhu Wu nodded and sighed: "That's right, don't panic, this is the bearing that the people should have." ”

Speaking of which, the people of Jeju have put a lot of effort into the past few years, and men over the age of 16 and under the age of 40 undergo at least half a month of military training every year. In order to prepare for and cope with the famine year and the war, the government stipulated that all the people who farmed the fields must store 500 catties of grain per person, and for this purpose, the yamen also distributed tens of thousands of ceramic grain jars. Therefore, the people of Jeju have thousands of catties of grain stored in their homes, mainly soybeans, rice and other highly nutritious things, plus stored dried fish, bacon and other things, Jeju people really have no worries about food and clothing, and they do not panic when they have food at home, so the faces of Jeju people are always full of confidence. What's more, children don't spend money on school, and they spend very little money to see a doctor when they are sick, so there is rarely anything to worry about.

As for the splashing skin who wants to take advantage of the chaos to rob, it is not nothing, and there is no chance, the people of Jeju have knives and guns in every house, and if they want to act rashly, they must first consider their own heads, not to mention that the streets are full of patrolling infantry and cavalry, and they are robbing while they are on fire, so forget it, go home and wash and sleep.

When Chao Gai led the cavalry of his headquarters, he saw that Wang Jin and others were planning to fight, and Gao Lian's 2,000 infantry were also surrounded, collected their weapons, and temporarily lived in the barracks.

Chao Gai said: "Leave it to the reservists to clean up, and lead the cavalry to patrol the outside of the city separately, stabilize the order, and go to the Jeju barracks at night to discuss matters without hesitation." ”

"Yes."

The generals were ordered, Wang Jin, Yang Zhi, Qin Ming, Shi Bao, Huang Xin each led troops to patrol, stabilize the order, this is the early autumn, Tianli Zhuang Tianwang rice, cotton, flowers are growing gratifying, everyone is grateful to Chao Gai, where will be willing to make trouble, the villages have spontaneously maintained the order of the village, everything is stable and normal.

The evening meeting was held in the Jeju barracks, and hundreds of candles were lit in the huge conference hall, with Chao Gai in the center, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Gongsun Sheng, Wang Jin, Yang Zhi, Qin Ming, Shi Bao, Niu Gao, Huang Xin, Mi Sheng, Li Kui, Pang Wanchun, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Song Wan, Du Qian, Tang Long, Li Yun, Chao Zhang, and Chao Ran. The leaders of each department have arrived, and although there are many people in the hall, it is quiet, and the pin drop can be heard.

Chao Gai said: "Everyone has seen what has happened in the past few days, we are dedicated to the people, report to the imperial court, subordinate the people, promote agriculture, run schools and hospitals, so that many people can afford to eat, read, and get sick." But what did we get, the rotten wood above the court is an official, they are all tigers and wolves, and when they see that we have developed Jeju into wealth, they want to snatch the fruits of their labor, and they want to kill us all, do you agree? ”

Li Kui scolded: "Promise a fart, I will be firm, I don't understand people in the court, how can I come from Gao Yuhu." My brother gave me Tie Niu a military horse, killed Tokyo, and captured Gao Yu to cut it to vent his anger. ”

Chao Gai said: "Hugh is nonsense, we don't do things to vent personal differences, but to do something down-to-earth, for the people, for the nation." Let's all share our opinions. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and this time the situation was serious, and everyone knew it.

Yang Zhidao: "There is a saying called "don't do two endlessly, since we have beaten Gao Lian, in the eyes of the imperial court, we are rebels, simply raise troops, first occupy Shandong." ”

Wu Yongdao: "Shandong is too big, with our troops are still not enough, and it is better to do this, we will first put Jeju Mansion, Dongping Mansion, Yanzhou Mansion, Mizhou Mansion, Yizhou Mansion, Dengzhou Mansion, Laizhou Mansion, Weizhou Mansion, Zizhou Mansion, these state capitals, and then we will report to the imperial court, requesting the investigation and handling of Gao Lian and Gao Yu, and at the same time give Chao Tuan the official position of the governor of Shandong, and give an overview of Shandong's military and political affairs. ”

"It's enjoyable, it's too enjoyable, just do it, I Li Kui agrees." Li Kui said.

Niu Gao said: "The soldiers are very fast, I am willing to raise troops to take Yanzhou Mansion." ”

Qin Ming said: "I'll go to Yizhou Mansion." ”

The generals asked for their lives, and when everyone saw that Chao Gai didn't speak, Zhu Wu said: "Does my brother have something on his mind?" ”

Chao Gai said: "We are so big, I am afraid that my uncle will be tortured, and I am afraid that the court will send him to prison for investigation." ”

Wu Yongyi was taken aback when he heard this, clapped his hands, and said: "Brother, when is this time not the time to read these children's affections, let's move quickly, take these state capitals, we will have the strength to bargain with the imperial court, otherwise we can only wait for the imperial army to come and beat us to the ground." ”

Gongsun Sheng also said: "At this time, it must not be due to. ”

Chao Gai nodded resolutely and said, "Okay." However, I Chao Gai has always been reluctant to do things, if any of you here do not agree, you can get up and leave, I Chao Gai still give Sichuan fare. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone said, "I am equal to my brother to advance and retreat together, please give my brother an order." ”

"Come, let's discuss the battle strategy." Chao Gai shouted, and immediately pulled down the huge military map.

It was a long time of deliberation until midnight. Military orders were issued, Sun An took Yizhou, Luan Tingyu took Dengzhou, Mi Sheng took Yanzhou, Qin Ming, Yang Zhi took Laizhou, Wang Jinjin Weizhou, Shibao took Zizhou, Li Kui entered Dongping to assist Li Kui in controlling the situation in Dongping, and all other generals who had no task stayed in Jeju City.
