Chapter 457: Bloodbathing Yunlong Mountain
"You have suffered......"
Walking in the mine, Wang Zheng looked at the old and weak women and children around him, although there was still a little fear in their eyes, but he could see that most of them were the joy of desperate life.
Wu You took Cuihua in his arms and kissed him without any scruples in front of everyone, this voice even Wang Zheng could hear clearly.
This can make Cuihua blush, although she can't see anything in the dimly lit hole, but she can also see the shyness from the expression on Cuihua's face.
"Big guy, this is the world-famous Anton Hou, the last Cangzhou soldier, the emperor was scared, and all of them around him are the heroes of the Shandong Army!"
Hearing Wu You introduce himself like this, the soldiers of the Shandong Army suddenly felt embarrassed, after all, they were all local refugees and ordinary people in the past, and they only have today after joining the Shandong Army, and they can't talk about the superiority of their status and status.
"Master Hou..."
"Master Hou, you must avenge my father!"
At this time, Wang Zheng heard the pleading voices of the old people and children around him, and then he noticed that there were all old people, children and women around, and asked with a smile:
"Wu You, call everyone else out, don't be afraid."
The smiles on Wu You and Cuihua's faces dimmed suddenly, and under the repeated questioning of the surrounding Shandong soldiers, they finally said what was in their hearts with resentment on their faces.
"That's all."
"Master Hou, the folks of the two Zhuangzi, now that's all there is left, I, I'm useless, I can't protect the folks..."
Speaking of this, Wu You, who had just fought bravely, wiped away his tears, looking at his mother-in-law's appearance, Wang Zheng showed displeasure and said loudly:
"Wu You! A manly man, born to stand up to the sky, what is there to cry about! Speaking of this, Wang Zheng squatted down and held the wrinkled hands of an old man in a sixtieth armor, and said with a sincere expression:
"Rest assured, your hatred is the enemy of Benhou, and the hatred of the entire Shandong army, in the future, as long as my Shandong army is there, no thieves will be allowed to harass the people!"
As he spoke, Wang Zheng turned around and shouted:
"Pass this book and wait for the military order, let General Deng lead 1,000, no, lead the entire Zhenwu battalion of 10,000 soldiers into the mountain, but if there are any thieves, not a single one will be left!"
"Obey!"
With a loud shout, the herald ordered the pacesetter to drill out of the mine, mount his horse, and gallop out energetically with a small flag.
It was this afternoon that the four major battalions of the Shandong Army stationed outside Xuzhou suddenly received a military order, followed by Deng Heizi and more than 10,000 soldiers of the Qi Zhenwu battalion, and went straight to Yunlong Mountain.
In this battle, the Shandong army soldiers were like a rainbow, surrounded Yunlong Mountain from all directions, and met a village of bandits down the mountain to surrender halfway, Deng Heizi looked at the bandit leader and smiled coldly.
"Master Hou's military order, bandits, no one will be left!"
Under the frightened and frightened gazes of these bandits, a platoon of Shandong army soldiers and spearmen stepped forward, sending the tips of steel spears into their chests and abdomen.
The soldiers of the Shandong army rushed into Yunlong Mountain like a tide, cut down when they met people, and killed people when they saw them.
"Come on, don't be a thief in the township!"
"I want to be a good man in my Shandong army!"
"For Anton, kill!"
The Yunlong Mountain bandits who were repeatedly suppressed by the imperial court officials and soldiers were killed by the Shandong army within four hours, and the soldiers of the Shandong army did not hesitate to cut down the bandits of the Shandong army, regardless of whether they resisted or surrendered with other intentions.
The last bandit village took advantage of the location, more than 300 bandits resisted stubbornly inside, and the Shandong army stopped, just when they breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the official army was going to retreat, but they saw a lot of carts pushed up from the other side of the mountain.
The car was loaded with cannons, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the cottage, and the lead bullets shot out in the frightened eyes of the bandits, and in an instant, the seemingly impregnable cottage immediately collapsed.
"Kill the thief!"
Deng Heizi took out his sword and rushed into the cottage with thousands of Shandong soldiers, and after insignificant resistance, the Yunlong Mountain was clear.
After clearing out the bandits in Yunlong Mountain, the Shandong army immediately set up a camp outside the mine, saying that it was practicing mountain warfare day and night, but inside it let the workers and craftsmen rebuild the gold mine.
There is a checkpoint set up by the Shandong Army at the foot of the mountain, and no one in Yunlong Mountain can enter without holding Wang Zheng's token.
......
In the early morning of the next day, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Shandong army, carrying the heads of bandits on the tip of their guns, marched into Xuzhou City with their heads held high with the power of victory.
Tian Zhongxuan, the garrison standing on the city wall, sat on the ground, and couldn't believe that there was such an army under the sky.
In the past, he only heard about it, although he was shocked, but he couldn't have the feeling after seeing it with his own eyes now, seeing this army, Tian Zhongxuan really felt what it meant to be afraid.
After the fear, he was glad for his wise decision.
Exterminated more than a dozen bandits in Yunlong Mountain, never killed a single person, and beheaded 800, this kind of record is not worth mentioning at all in the usual battles of the Shandong Army, but it is of great significance to the people who have been bullied by thieves inside and outside Xuzhou.
The news soon spread throughout Xuzhou, and everyone knew that there was a court official army stationed in the state city to wipe out the bandits who had always been stubborn in Yunlong Mountain and beheaded 800 people.
Moreover, this army is different from the past, they are the Shandong army, carrying the banner of the Yellow Dragon, never deceiving the people and disturbing the people, and even in the first month of arriving in Xuzhou City, they also sent soldiers to repair houses for the people, and help build dirt roads and earthen bridges in the surrounding villages where the roads are blocked.
For a time, Andong Hou Wang's good name was unwinded, and it is said that Fengyang Mansion, which is close to Xuzhou, has already had people come to defect spontaneously.
Shandong has sufficient soldiers and horses, and at the request of the local big families in Xuzhou, they came to Xuzhou to garrison and suppress thieves, and they have just arrived with such remarkable results, which is quite anti-guest-oriented.
However, those big families are not worried about this, since they sent a letter to Wang Zheng, the consequences are naturally all taken into account, and now that the Western Army and the Shun Army are in full swing, it is obviously impossible to rely on the weak and bullying officials and troops of the imperial court.
At present, what can make the thieves jealous, that is, the Mingwei army under the command of Anton Hou, they are also forced to find such a backer for themselves.
Although he will be subject to others because of this, at least Wang Zheng is not eating people and not spitting out bones, he can get some benefits, no matter how he calculates, it is better than being attacked by thieves and breaking the state capital, and the family is ruined.
Shandong soldiers and horses, which have always been low-key, usually do not mention them in front of people except for their military exploits, but this time it is rare to make such a big move, after coming to Xuzhou, Wang Zheng resolutely issued a series of orders.
With the strength of the Shandong army, it was more than enough to dispatch a thousand people, but this time Wang Zheng sent an entire Zhenwu battalion for this purpose, and even Deng Heizi, one of the four generals, personally went out.
It is said that more than a dozen Shenwei general cannons were directly used, separated by several mountains, and the last bandit village was bombed into slag from a distance, and more than a dozen bandits in the entire Yunlong Mountain did not leave a single living mouth.
This kind of battle, in the eyes of the soldiers, is actually not as good as the whole army training once in March, many people just run along, and the last thing they see is nothing more than bandits killed by their predecessors.
Speaking of which, this is a bit of a cannon hitting mosquitoes.
When many people chatted after dinner, they all felt that Wang Zheng was too much of a fuss, wasn't it just for the people who guarded the mine, and it was enough to make a pie, as for the bloodbath of Yunlong Mountain.
This is the opinion of the layman, Liu Fu, the eunuch of Nanzhili, was taken aback when he heard it, and then he understood that Wang Zheng was showing off his strength to Nanzhili, and his intention was to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.
The chicken is Yunlong Mountain, Xuzhou, who is the monkey, Liu Fu is really clear in his heart, and it is naturally his own members of Nanzhili.
The imperial court set up eight general soldiers in Nanzhili, but can any of them resist the Zhenwu battalion of the Shandong army to suppress the bandits, say some frustrating words, no.
Although Huang Degong is loyal and brave, he has too few subordinates, as for the other Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie and others, they were all beaten by Li Zicheng into a lost dog in the Central Plains.
Moreover, the Shandong Army has four major battalions, each of which is like this, and it is said that even the Tartars can resist head-on without falling behind.
In addition, the Mingwei Chinese army led by Anton Hou Wang Zheng himself is stronger, if a large force goes south, how can people resist?
The Shandong army can even use such power to suppress a bandit, and there is also a powerful general cannon, so that it is impossible to defend the city, which is really worrying.
