(Thank you very much for the tip, thank you!) ）

Tuchenggang was in full swing, Li Yong and other bandits once again gained the upper hand with their ferocity and sophistication, and seeing that it would not take long to destroy this group of men and horses who dared to ambush them halfway, suddenly, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves came from far and near.

The nine-headed bird brigade led by Liu Jun suddenly appeared, and a nine-headed bird flag fluttered in the wind.

"The Hydra is coming!"

Shouts rang out on the battlefield, both from bandits to those who were ambushed. However, the mood of the shouter was completely different, and when the bandits found out that the nine-headed bird had suddenly arrived, their voices were trembling, frightened, and desperate when they shouted. They still can't forget that in just two days, their 3,000 soldiers and horses attacked Hutou Fort, but they were almost completely wiped out by the soldiers and horses of this banner, and now they have caught up again.

Those ambush soldiers were also shouting the nine-headed bird, but their shouts were excited, excited, a kind of joy and relaxation for the rest of their lives.

"Childe, the nine-headed bird is here, we are saved." The middle-aged general said happily and excitedly to the handsome son. The silver-armored boy also sighed, looking at the nine-headed bird banner in a daze. In fact, the three hundred families he led came to rescue the Tiger Head Fort at the beginning.

It was only a little late, and when he was halfway there, he heard that a group of horse thieves was coming from the Hutou Fort, so he temporarily decided to set up an ambush at Tuchenggang, but he was almost destroyed by the thieves.

There were not many members of the Hydra team who arrived, about 300 people, almost all the regular team members came, and the reserve members stayed in the fort to guard their homes. Fortunately, a lot of war horses were captured this time, so that all the official team members were equipped with horses and galloped all the way to aid Huang'an.

The nine-headed bird arrived like a gale, and in the sound of the horn, after rushing close to a hundred paces, the team members stopped riding their horses, and all the team members stopped their horses and dismounted together.

The team members quickly formed a team, with the killer team in front, the mixed formation on both sides, the pure bird gun team in the center, and the gun-carrying team and artillery team of the artillery fire division in the rear.

The horn blew and the Hydra began to move forward.

Every three steps, the Hydra team members shouted a tiger, paused, and continued. Tiger roars one after another, and the morale of the entire Hydra team continues to rise.

The team advanced fifty paces to the enemy, and the trumpeters blew the swan trumpets.

The swan sounded, and the firecrackers in the neatly arranged nine-headed bird team began to burn, and a violent crackling sound sounded, and the front of the battle was filled with gunsmoke, and then countless screams sounded.

In the chaos of the battlefield, a large lead bullet grazed the ear of the silver-armored boy, directly hitting a thief who rushed at him with a knife, hitting him in the front door, and smashing half of his face.

The silver-armored boy was startled, he didn't expect the nine-headed bird to let go of the gun directly, it seemed that he didn't care about them in the melee with the enemy at all, turned his head to look around, and saw a horse thief who was shot in the chest and fell off the horse.

The general's voice sounded in his ears, "Childe, get out of the way on both sides and separate from the thief." ”

The second long swan horn sounded again, and another salvo fired, and many more thieves fell in front of them.

Screams and wails followed, and some of the bandits had no idea how to attack the ambush and began to flee in all directions. Seeing this, the silver armor prince ignored the dissuasion of the general, and said loudly, "Stop them, don't let the thieves escape." ”

The third round of salvos came again, and many bandits fell, and the silver armor boy was much calmer at this time, he found that the nine-headed bird's gunners were very powerful, although the salvo was fired again and again, but it was those bandits who fell, and they did not hit them by mistake. This made him quite admire, how powerful a gun must be to do this.

The ambush soldiers, under the command of the silver-armored boy, began to separate from the bandits, they guarded both sides of the road and the front, blocking the thieves' escape route, watching with joy and hatred as the nine-headed bird's fire guns sounded again and again, and then those thieves who were stopped and unable to break through continued to fall under the shooting of the nearer and closer hydra-headed birds.

After six rounds of continuous shooting, most of the thieves had fallen, and the rest of the people had completely collapsed, rushing like headless flies, but they couldn't rush out at all, and they were trapped to death.

Many thieves broke down and jumped off their horses, kneeling on the ground and shouting for surrender and spare.

A new order sounded in the Hydra, those who abandoned their weapons and surrendered on the ground were spared, and those who continued to resist were killed. Li Yong was still rushing left and right with the bloody Guan knife, but Zhang Shousheng had already dismounted directly with a pale face, and knelt on the ground with his head in his hands.

He has already seen that in the rear team of the nine-headed bird, a cannon has been set up from the horse, both tiger squat, there are also exterminators, these cannons are only 36 pounds, the weight is only 100 pounds, it can be completely carried by war horses, taken off from the horse when the battle is coming, can quickly enter the combat readiness, can be fired at any time.

They are surrounded on all sides, and there is no way to stuff these artillery fires between their teeth.

"I surrender, surrender."

Zhang Shousheng even recognized that among those artillery fires, the exterminating cannon was still in his previous artillery team, but now, it has become a nine-headed bird.

Li Yong was still resisting, but a lead bullet came and hit him in the chest. The iron armor on his body couldn't stop the lead bullet at all, and a bloody arrow flew up in his chest, Li Yong's body shook a few times, and he fell off the horse, and before he died, he glanced in the direction where the bullet came from, only to see an indifferent officer, holding a large bird gun at him.

As soon as Li Yong died, Zhang Shousheng surrendered again, and the rest of the bandits finally dismounted and knelt down to beg for mercy and surrender.

Of the more than 300 bandits, more than 130 were killed in the end, and the rest all surrendered, and none escaped. Most of them were killed and wounded by the arrival of the Nine-headed Bird, and without them, the defeated ones might have been another army of soldiers.

The silver-armored young general led the family leader Ding to the front of the Hydra.

Liu Jun has also been looking at this group of people, and he has never been able to guess where they came from.

"Liu Jun and Liu Jiye, the general training manager of the Xiamacheng regiment, have seen this brother, I don't know what to call it?"

Liu Jun hugged his fists and saluted, and the silver-armored prince said, "I have heard of Brother Liu's name for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to see him, and I have admired my name for a long time." In Xia Meiqing, his father is Mei Changgong. ”

Liu Jun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't help but carefully look at this person who called himself Mei Qing a few times, he was very young and handsome, and even a little too handsome. Looking closely, Mei Qing's complexion is even too white, and her eyebrows are clearer.

Mei Qing was stared at by Liu Jun so closely, and she didn't feel a little unnatural, and even her face began to redden. Seeing this, Liu Jun became more and more sure of the idea in his heart, this silver-armored boy was actually a woman dressed as a man.

In fact, although he had never seen Mei Qing, this Mei Qing claimed to be the son of Mei Changgong. Who is Mei Changgong, Mei Zhihuan. Liu Jun still has some understanding of Mei Zhihuan's situation, Mei Zhihuan doesn't look at the fishing color, and there are groups of wives and concubines, but in fact, Mei Zhihuan's heirs are difficult, and he has given birth to several sons, but most of them died young, and now only one son is an adult, and it is precisely because of this that Mei Zhihuan accepted so many concubines, just because there are few sons and that son is still very weak.

On the other hand, Liu Jun knew that Mei Zhihuan's son was named Mei Lian, and he should be slightly older than him this year. Previously, the imperial court restored Mei Zhihuan's official rank, but did not reactivate him, but gave his son Mei Lian Enyin a four-rank military position of Jinyi Wei commanding affairs, but it was also an honorary title, not a real position.

Mei Qing claimed that Mei Zhihuan was his father, and Liu Jun felt that something was wrong. Mei Qing is definitely not Mei Lian, then there is only one possibility left, this Mei Qing is Mei Zhihuan's daughter, he has indeed heard some rumors, it is said that Mei Zhihuan has a very favored daughter. Although it is a little hard to believe that a woman dares to lead troops into battle, but thinking about the Mei family's family tradition, it seems that the women of the Mei family have a kind of unrestrained and free character, which is not surprising.

At that time, Mei Zhihuan's cousin Mei Chengran, who was originally married to Liu Chengxi of the Liu family, was a continuation of the strings, and the family affairs had been decided, but Liu Chengxi passed away before the marriage. At that time, he also practiced with his sister and several aunts and other daughters of the Mei family, and later Mei Yanran worshiped his father's friend, the contemporary literary master Li Zhen as his teacher.

Later, there was a scandal between the pair of teachers and students that shocked the world, and finally even made Li Zhen impeached, including him bringing a pillow into the nunnery to preach the Fa, saying that he was close to women, and was finally arrested for daring to advocate chaos and confusing the world and slandering the people, and even his life's works were burned.

Although later generations believed that Li Zhen's death was a result of a political-political struggle. The world also thinks that Li Zhen and Mei Ran actually have no adultery, at most it is just a pure spiritual love, which is limited to correspondence and text exchange. But in any case, many of the behaviors of the women of the Mei family at that time were still quite bold and presumptuous for the scholars of the Ming Dynasty under the great defense of etiquette and religion.

After experiencing Mei Ran, the women of the Mei family do not seem to have changed, and they are still mavericks. In particular, Mei Zhihuan is also a rather unique parent, and it doesn't seem too strange that his daughter is dressed as a man.

"Mei Qing." Liu Jun read the name and smiled at her, he was basically sure that this Mei Qing was definitely a woman.

Mei Qing saw Liu Jun's smile and that look, and also understood that the other party had seen through his disguise, so he couldn't help glaring at Liu Jun at the moment. It turned out that I had heard a lot about this guy, and I felt that although this guy was from an ordinary background, he had a different kind of hard work from everyone's children. But now that I see it, this guy is really annoying, what's wrong with the woman, can't the woman fight on horseback?

In ancient times, Hua Mulan had already joined the army, the Southern Song Dynasty had the anti-gold heroine Liang Hongyu, and even the current dynasty had a female general Qin Liangyu, why did he Liu Jun look down on women.

When he heard that Hutou Fort was besieged, he saw that there were no soldiers to help, and he personally organized 300 families from his home to rescue him, which was really kind and not rewarded.

Liu Jun didn't know that Mei Qing immediately had such a big prejudice against him just because of his smile. In fact, he didn't discriminate much against women, after all, men and women were equal in later generations. Even many times, in fact, women's rights have long been prevalent, and in that era when there were more men and fewer women, women had long since not only lasted half the sky, but almost took over the half of the sky of men.

Next, Mei Qing was a little unreasonable to Liu Jun, but Liu Jun didn't deliberately talk to Mei Qing in order to avoid it. Fortunately, there is also a Mei Ting, who is the general of the Mei family. This time the bandits came, Mei Zhihuan rushed to Qizhou with the township regiment of Baosheng Fort, and later Hutoubao came to ask for help, and Shen Zhuang had no troops to adjust. Mei Qing was bent on coming to the rescue, and insisted on gathering the three hundred Zhuang Ding in the family to help, these three hundred people are not the elite of the Mei family, just ordinary family members who have received some training.

Because of this, they showed many flaws in their previous ambushes, after all, from Mei Qing to Mei Ting, they are actually not professionals.

Their idea of ambush is not wrong, but since it is an ambush, they should not rush out and fight with the thieves. If it is Liu Jun, they take local materials to make some cabinet horses, after the thieves are fenced, they are separated by artillery fire, bows and arrows to fight, after all, the road is blocked before and after, both sides are dense forests, they fight in the roadside forest, there is naturally a protection, even if the thieves have horses, but if they enter the forest, it is useless, and the trees can also prevent arrows.

But Mei Qing and the others fought in all directions, fighting with the thieves, and almost got themselves into it. If he hadn't come quickly, this brave Miss Mei would have died here.

However, when I heard that Mei Qing brought his family to save the tiger head fort, Liu Jun was still very moved, and it was already great that a woman in the family had this courage, as for some deficiencies in the battle, it was not too harsh.

"Liu Jun is very grateful to Brother Mei for his rescue, now, Hutou Fort is fine, why don't Brother Mei lead his troops to collect troops and go back?"

Mei Qing just knew that Hutou Fort had achieved such a great victory, Liu Jun led hundreds of people to defeat more than 3,000 thieves, not a big defeat, if you count the bandits here, Liu Jun with his own strength, he actually wiped out a battalion of bandits. Thinking about the fact that he ambushed the bandits with 300 men and horses just now, and only fought a few hundred defeated soldiers who escaped from Liu Jun's men, but almost capsized the boat instead, it is really a shame to compare.

Mei Qing even forgot her previous dissatisfaction with Liu Jun, and her heart turned to extremely admire Liu Jun again. She has been favored by her father since she was a child, and her father will not let her entangle her feet when she says that her feet hurt. When she said that she wanted to learn how to ride a horse, her father personally taught her to ride a horse and gave her several horses. She said that she wanted to practice archery, so her father hired a female dart master for her. Usually she often disguises herself as a man and goes to her father's township regiment, and her father does not restrain her too much, she likes the army for archery and horse riding, and the most admired in her heart is Qin Liangyu, the female chief soldier who commands the white pole soldiers.

"If you want to go to Huang'an, we will go too." Mei Qing said.

Liu Jun wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but when he saw Mei Qing's resolute look, he didn't open his mouth after thinking about it. Sometimes, reasoning with a woman obviously doesn't work.

"If Brother Mei has to go along, it's okay, but say in advance, you and your subordinates have to obey my dispatch, otherwise I won't dare to take you along."

"Okay." Mei Qing responded very happily, and Mei Tingyou next to him saw that the two of them could only be anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
