It is said that after Xu Hongru rebelled, the news also spread to Denglai for the first time, and Yuan Keli sat in Denglai, but he couldn't mess around. However, he was also ready to send troops and gathered troops as soon as possible. Soon Yuan Keli also received Zhu Youxiao's order, and immediately sent troops.

Yuan Keli almost transferred the troops of Denglai and the guards along the way.

Most of them are officers and soldiers of the guard, and their combat effectiveness is relatively scum. However, among them were 5,000 officers and men of the naval division, which were relatively strong in combat effectiveness.

The training of this naval division is based on the experience summed up by Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and other famous anti-Japanese generals, first learning land warfare, and then learning water warfare, so it also has strong combat effectiveness on land.

Along the march, the officers and soldiers of the guard were gathered all the way, and the number of troops rose to 50,000. Although the combat effectiveness is poor, the combat effectiveness of the Smelling Fragrance Sect is even worse.

Yuan Keli rushed to Chongzhou with a large army and successfully joined forces with Jingying. Yuan Keli took out the holy decree and established the command of the divisions in Beijing, as an old minister of the Four Dynasties, he naturally had this qualification. And it can also convince the public.

Although Yuan Keli is old, he has been honest and honest all his life, and he has honed a momentum of not being angry and arrogant. There is such a thing as momentum, although it is relatively ethereal, but it exists. The momentum is innate, and it can also be tempered by the day after tomorrow. As the saying goes, even if a person looks ugly, if he has been nurtured by books for a long time, he will naturally have an elegant temperament.

The momentum on Yuan Keli's body made a group of generals in front of him, like elementary school students, be submissive.

Dominate the military with literature. It's a practice of the Ming Dynasty. This time the suppression of the Smelling Fragrance Sect. Zhu Youxiao naturally appointed Yuan Keli as the commander-in-chief, and among the senior officers at all levels in Shandong, obviously no one was qualified to lead the Beijing battalion in battle.

After the division, the battle became much simpler.

Yuan Keli immediately took the Beijing camp as the vanguard and led the army to attack Zou County.

Xu Hongru, who dreamed of being an emperor in Zou County, obviously did not realize that the catastrophe was coming. Instead, he indulged in pleasure in the 'palace' of Zou County.

If you want to fool the people, Xu Hongru has a hand. But militarily, the Smelling Fragrance Sect started in a hurry. The entire military system is in disarray.

When the three infantry divisions of the Beijing battalion arrived in Zou County, Xu Hongru woke up like a dream and hurriedly told the troops everywhere. However, the troops of the Wenxiang Sect themselves have scattered everywhere to attack the city and plunder the land, and where can they return for a while. Of course, this is also in Xu Hongru's consideration, but Xu Hongru still has more than 100,000 troops in Zou County, and all of them retreated into the city at this time, thinking that they can hold it for a while and a half, and they should be able to wait for the various departments to come back to help.

However, what Xu Hongru didn't know was that the strong combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp doomed him to be unable to wait for reinforcements. If Xu Hongru can run away decisively. Maybe I'll be able to run away for him. But running away means defeat, and the previous victory has made Xu Hongru dizzy. Overly optimistic about the situation, thinking that as long as they wait for reinforcements, they can annihilate the incoming officers and troops.

Soon Xu Hongru paid a huge price for this, after the Beijing camp was killed in Zou County, he directly surrounded Zou County, but the encirclement was not complete, but the city gates on all sides were surrounded, and the hanging basket could still be used to come down from the city wall at night, as long as the patrol officers and soldiers were able to jump out of the encirclement. But Xu Hongru didn't do this, and as a result, early the next morning, the thief army of the Smelling Fragrance Sect in the city was all stunned.

The city was densely packed with official troops, and Yuan Keli drew 50,000 troops from all over Shandong, and cooperated with the Beijing camp to directly surround Zou County, and also began to dig fortifications outside the city, with the intention of completely besieging Zou County.

At this time, Xu Hongru was completely panicked, the calm look on his face had disappeared without a trace, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Not only Xu Hongru panicked, but the Smelling Fragrance Sect thief army in the city was also panicked.

In a panic, Xu Hongru sent people to the head of the city to supervise the city defense, and before the official army began to attack the city, it had already made the thieves nervous.

The officers and troops did not launch an immediate attack, and did not even bother to launch a tentative siege. The two sides were at a stalemate from the morning to the afternoon.

At this time, the thief army at the head of the city saw a Ming army coming to the city, this Ming army brought a large number of horses, and behind the horses were dragging a heavy artillery, these cannons were more than 1,000 catties. Each gun is drawn by three horses, which is extremely conspicuous. If you count carefully, there are 24 such heavy guns.

This artillery is the 'artillery battalion' set up by Zhu Youxiao, the artillery battalion adopts the three-base system, each company is equipped with eight guns, a battalion of 24 artillery field guns, these 24 field guns are 10 kg of guns developed by the Royal Military Factory, the shell weighs 10 kg, the gun body plus the gun carriage, weighs 1,500 kg, and the firing range reaches 3 kilometers.

This is the first time that the artillery battalion has been put into operation, and the next step is their show time. Twenty-four guns lined up under the city, aimed at the city wall to adjust the angle of fire, and then opened fire.

With a thunderous roar, the cannonballs hit the city walls directly. On the spot, bricks and stones were flying, and the walls of Zou City were covered with a layer of bricks. But in front of these field guns, they were beaten to pieces.

The shelling continued, and after only five rounds of shelling, the walls were blown down by more than 20 meters. The thieves on the city wall were crushed to death in the collapse, and the other thieves looked at the terrifying scene in front of them one by one with pale faces, and some were even so frightened that they peed their pants.

Xu Hongru was also so frightened that his legs trembled, but he still tried to resist stubbornly. A large number of cannon fodder were transferred on the spot to block the mouth in a vain attempt to prevent the official army from attacking the city.

Such an act is in vain. However, the official army did not attack, but loudly announced under the city that only the first evil of the Smelling Fragrance Sect would be punished, and all the thieves and ordinary people would not be asked.

A group of soldiers took turns shouting under the city for nearly an hour, and there was no movement in the city.

"Junmen, this group of thieves doesn't seem to plan to surrender, it's better to attack the city directly while it's still dark." Liang Qingchang, who was a little less patient, suggested to Yuan Keli.

"Don't worry, most of the thieves in the city are people who have been deceived, if they attack the city directly, there will definitely be many casualties in the chaos. We can show our might, and soon the thieves in the city will be in chaos without a fight. Yuan Keli smiled unhurriedly, "All the departments cheer up tonight, and the thief army is likely to break through while the darkness is underway." ”

Everyone had to wait patiently, and the sky soon darkened.

Sure enough, as Yuan Keli expected, after nightfall, Xu Hongru Mashan organized a wave of breakthrough actions. It's a pity that the large-scale breakthrough must come out of the city gate, where the Beijing camp is responsible for the encirclement position, and the Beijing camp can easily kill the breakthrough troops of the thief army.

In other words, the thief army troops that broke through had no intention of fighting at all.

As soon as they left the city, the thieves dispersed. Xu Hongru and a group of Wenxiang Sect backbones under his command couldn't be restrained at all. Those people who were deceived knew the court's handling policy, and they had no intention of fighting. Leaving the city was only forced, and when they got out of the city, they ran to both sides one after another, and only a few attacked the positions of the Jingying Infantry Division. Those backbones of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, without a large number of cannon fodder in front, were quickly run back to the city by the fart.

At midnight, the backbone of the thief army learned the lesson of the previous wave of breakthroughs, strengthened restraints, and frantically slashed and killed the fleeing cannon fodder. Finally, these cannon fodder were driven up, but as soon as they came into contact with the officers and soldiers, they immediately collapsed at the touch of a button, and many of those overseers were hacked to death.

After a child's play, the breakthrough failed again.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, every backbone of the Wenxiang Sect was panicked, and couldn't help but start thinking about their own future.

Xu Hongru can be exonerated from the crime, this disposal policy is like a lingering shadow, so that Xu Hongru began to suspect that someone under his command was going to do something to him, and carried out the final madness with black circles, as long as anyone was suspected by Xu Hongru, he would be hacked to death on the spot.

Such madness soon caused a violent backlash.

Wei Qi, the chief soldier of the thief army who carried out the purge order, was afraid that it would be his turn next, and Xu Hongru had become their 'gold medal for avoiding death', so he decisively launched an internal strife, and in front of a group of Wenxiang Sect backbones, he openly captured Xu Hongru like a chicken.

"Escort, escort. Wei Qi wants to murder the emperor, are you all blind? Xu Hongru roared in shock,

The audience was unmoved.

None of those backbones of the Smelling Fragrance Sect were willing to accompany Xu Hongru to the funeral.

Seeing that there was no one to escort him, Xu Hongru roared with a hideous face: "Wei Qi, I am the Son of Heaven, if you dare to do something to me, are you not afraid of being punished by God?" ”

"Son of Heaven? You really think you're a character. Hehe! No one wants to listen to you, you're a bullshit, you're just a turtle. Wei Qi said, and slapped Xu Hongru in the face roughly, beating Xu Hongru into a pig's head on the spot.

"Then aren't you afraid of a childless mother?" Xu Hongru spurted blood foam in his mouth and made a final struggle.

"What kind of childless mother, Lao Tzu will be afraid?" Wei Qi said disdainfully, "Those dirty things, when you see Lao Tzu, you have to retreat, how old is the childless mother?" ”

Wei Qi is extremely burly, very brave, and once served as an official soldier, participated in the Battle of Salhu, but fled back for fear of the government's questioning, so he has not dared to return home. Wei Qi is not only full of blood, but also has killed a lot of people on the battlefield, and the killing aura on his body is not small, and it is not at all that those bull ghosts and snake gods can get close to.

Saying that, Wei Qi slapped Xu Hongru on the other side of his face again, not only completely turning Xu Hongru into a pig's head, but also knocking out two of Xu Hongru's front teeth.

"If you know each other, give Lao Tzu quiet, so as not to be offended." Wei Qi lifted Xu Hongru up, and then asked the group of Wenxiang Sect backbones on the left and right, "Everyone, do you want to die or live?" ”

"Think...... I want to live. ”

"If you want to live with me, I'll take you alive." Wei Qi strode out with Xu Hongru in his arms, and the backbone members of the Wenxiang Sect behind hurriedly rushed to follow. (To be continued......)
