Chapter 31—To Each His Own Calculation (I)
In Liping County, Liping Prefecture, Tong Ming got the report from Yongcong County, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the white-robed master, "That Li Zhongju is still too young, hahaha." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The white-robed master also echoed, "Jiang is still old and spicy, the master's calculations, with how much ability he can have as a hairy boy in his early twenties." ”
Tong Ming laughed, without scruples, in his opinion, he would not have any surprises if he ate Li Zhongju.
Li Zhongju frowned slightly as he watched the scout return and deliver the news. The situation in Mianping County is much more serious than that in Qingxi County, especially since this is a real rebel army.
Li Zhongju immediately ordered the army to advance towards the county seat of Mianping, and in any case, Li Zhongju had to go to the county town of Mianping to meet the ranks of the rebels.
The rebels in Mianping County probably couldn't have imagined that death was approaching them. At first, this rebel army was only organized by a few scum of the green forest and their colleagues, but later due to the disaster in Liping Province, they took the opportunity to absorb the victims and displaced people, and they became very powerful for a while.
Ding Biao, the leader of the rebel army, saw the opportunity and led more than 6,000 troops to capture the county seat of Mianping, ransack the county treasury, and occupy the county seat, he wanted to be the emperor of the soil here.
These days, Ding Biao has been living a life that he never thought of before, he is very satisfied, and at the same time he frantically rewards his subordinates, but also wins the loyalty of many people.
Li Zhongju's army rushed to Mianping County, Li Zhongju watched the city gate closed, and there were nearly 100 guards standing on the city wall.
Li Zhongju ordered the army to camp in place, and out of the first salute and then the soldiers, Li Zhongju sent an envoy to the county seat to prepare for surrender.
A strong platoon commander of the Lieshan battalion received this mission, and he handed over his rifle and bayonet to the deputy platoon commander for temporary safekeeping, and he walked to the county seat with his head held high.
The platoon commander called the city gate and was brought to Ding Biao by the other party.
Ding Biao looked at the other party's strange outfit without braids, and suddenly looked down on this platoon commander in his heart, and said contemptuously, "Who are you, what is the matter with seeing so-and-so?" ”
The platoon commander said in a surprising voice, "I am a junior officer under Li Zhongju, the governor of Zhenyuan Prefecture, and I came to tell you." Our 2,000-strong army has arrived at the city of Mianping County, if you know each other, please surrender quickly, don't delay our adults' time. ”
Ding Biao looked at a strong man on the left, the man nodded, Ding Biao understood that what the other party said was true, but immediately he returned to normal, "Hahaha, I have an army of six thousand, and you are only two thousand, so I want to capture Mianping County." Everyone said, isn't that Zhizhou whimsical! ”
There was a burst of laughter in the lobby.
The platoon commander was not nervous at all, "You are all rabble, how can you stop our iron-blooded army, your kind of army is tens of thousands, and we will not be afraid." ”
Ding Biao yelled loudly, "What an arrogant boy, go back and tell Li ...... It's your leader who has the ability to break through the county seat and send off guests. ”
The platoon commander left the lobby without looking back, and went out of the city under the leadership of a rebel, and went to see the commander with his head a little dejected.
When Li Zhongju heard what the platoon commander said, he immediately smiled and said, "Boy, you are good, you are worthy of being the elite of the Lieshan Battalion." This state will reward you with ten taels of silver. ”
The platoon commander breathed a sigh of relief and left the Chinese barracks tent with his hands in motion.
Li Zhongju looked at Liu Jiang and Song Naruto, "Are you confident that you can break through the county seat of Mianping?" ”
The two of them stood up and shouted loudly, "The humble position will not disappoint the commander. ”
Li Zhongju said again, "The platoon commander of the Lieshan Battalion is right, the rebels are a rabble, and with our two thousand Predators, it is not a problem at all to take a small county town." ”
Liu Jiang and the others nodded, they had some absolute confidence in the soldiers under their command.
Li Zhongju finally asked the two to prepare for attacking the county seat tomorrow. Both are ready to show off their skills this time.
The next day, although the weather was a little gloomy, it didn't rain, so it was a very nice day. It was an excellent weather for Li Zhong's army to attack the county seat.
Woo woo, as the horn of Li Zhongju's camp sounded, the soldiers who had already prepared quickly began to line up. Li Zhongju and others rode high-headed horses and stood at the front of the team.
Li Zhongju saw that the many soldiers were all full of energy, and immediately ordered, "All listen to the order, and target the county town ahead." ”
"Yes." The earth-shattering roar made the rebels in Mianping County, hundreds of meters away, hear it clearly. They immediately passed the news to Ding Biao, and after Ding Biao received the signal, he immediately gathered all his troops and came to the north gate.
Ding Biao looked at the two thousand soldiers under the city, standing there neatly, without the slightest commotion, motionless like statues.
Ding Biao was very envious, if his 6,000 people had such good military discipline, why worry about not succeeding in a big deal. But he was just thinking about it.
Ding Biao took a deep breath and looked at Li Zhongju at the front of the other party, he finally figured out the leader of the other party, "Li Zhongju, the governor of Zhenyuan Mansion, you are not staying in Zhenyuan Mansion, what are you doing in our Liping Mansion?" ”
Li Zhongju was not in a hurry, "Benzhou came by invitation, and I heard that Mianping County has been occupied by rebels, and Benzhou wants to restore Mianping County to official rule." Besides, you do all kinds of evil, and everyone will be punished for it. ”
Ding Biao laughed and said, "Li Zhongju, you are full of food and have nothing to support, run to Liping Mansion to spread wild, and say what we are doing." No matter how evil we are, that's our Liping Mansion's own business, and it's not your turn to intervene. ”
Liu Jiang said angrily, "Ding Biao, you are so shameless, you burned and killed thousands of catastrophes, the scheming of the wealth wolf, demagoguery, and organized the rebels to attack the official county. After the fact, you don't repent, and you are ashamed, are you laughing at our knife for not being sharp enough? ”
Ding Biao looked at Liu Jiang with a little weakness somehow, "I don't want you to fight with your tongues, and if you have the ability, you will attack the city." ”
Li Zhongju stopped Liu Jiang, who had to say more, "Peng Ren, start attacking the city." ”
Liu Jiang immediately responded, "It's the commander." ”
Liu Jiang shouted loudly, "Brothers of the Red Sword Battalion, attack the city. ”
Among the soldiers of the Red Sword Battalion, a siege vehicle was immediately launched, which was a huge cart that hit the city gate, and was advanced by hundreds of people.
At the same time, the brothers of the Red Sword Battalion marched forward in unison, holding rifles and aiming at the rebels on the city wall to shoot wildly.
For a while, the rebels were suppressed and almost did not dare to show their heads, Ding Biao looked at all this, and his heart was shocked incomparably. He never expected that Li Zhongju's army was all equipped with the most advanced breech rifles.
Li Zhongju instructed the Lieshan Battalion to assist the Chijian Battalion from the side, aiming to take the county seat of Mianping in the shortest possible time.
Naruto Song immediately arranged for men to come forward to help the brothers of the Red Sword Battalion, and the brothers of the Red Sword Camp saw that the brothers of the Burning Mountain came to help them, and their confidence suddenly increased.
