269 Victory in the first battle

Although Lu Haoshan didn't like Dong Jian very much, but he was just for him, and he had no opinion on other soldiers, seeing these soldiers die so miserably, Lu Haoshan felt that he needed to find a point to vent his feelings, not only himself, but also his subordinates also needed to find a gap to vent their feelings.

Zijin Liang and Li Zicheng have returned to Shunde and Zhending to continue to wander, and Lu Haoshan, who was ordered to assist Fenzhou and Pingyang, had no choice but to ask Dong Jian to apply to Shangguan to continue the in-depth battle.

Even if they kill people and plunder goods, they also commit atrocities, even the dead will not let go, they are not rioting, they are pure beasts, they take pleasure in torturing and killing people, these people stay in the world for one more day, and I don't know how many people have been harmed.

As soon as Lu Haoshan gave the order, the scout team immediately went out to investigate the whereabouts of the King of the Troubled World.

Under the management of Lu Haoshan, all the scouts were equipped with healthy horses, binoculars and carrier pigeons, they came and went like the wind, they were shrewd and capable, and soon, the news about the king of troubled times began to flow back to Lu Haoshan's hands, on December 28, Lu Haoshan finally confirmed that the king of troubled times and his men were in Wangniu Mountain, more than 40 miles west of the county seat of Ji County, Pingyang Prefecture, which is close to Shaanxi, and it is estimated that it is convenient to escape.

This is very much in line with the habit of these people, who like to wander the border, and if necessary, they can escape from different jurisdictions, because in this way, the officers and soldiers who pursue them will not be able to cross the border without permission, and this will give them a lot of room for detours.

In fact, it is not difficult to find the traces of these people, but the difficulty lies in how to dispatch troops and how to send the information back to the hands of the person in charge in time, because these displaced people are all shooting to change places, and sometimes when the assembled team arrives, they have already run away without a trace, and the large team of people and horses encircled and suppressed. They went up into the mountains and old forests, so that the cavalry could not be used, and the infantry was exhausted, and he ran to other county capitals or provinces, and sometimes he was able to catch up with him but ended in defeat because of the problem of his sphere of influence.

And the squad is not their opponent, just like that, the peasant uprising will grow stronger and stronger, and the Ming Dynasty has the appearance of three governors and five provinces governors, which is because of this, of course. These are the afterwords.

However, it is an exception for Lu Haoshan, who is all elite, can run up the mountain, swim down the river, ride on the horse, have strict rules and act quickly, and is also equipped with a flying pigeon to pass the book, so that he can rush to the destination in the first time.

After getting the news, Lu Haoshan didn't say a word, and led the team to Renji County. On the night of the 28th, Lu Haoshan had already led his troops to quietly approach this group of lawless mobs.

"My lord" A scout named Zhang Rui saw Lu Haoshan coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Zhang Rui is a captain of the scout team under Lu Haoshan, and this time he is the one who finds the trace of this troubled king. Then he kept secretly secret, and kept reporting the information to Lu Haoshan, this is the hero, Lu Haoshan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good job." This official wants to give you a credit, where are those beasts? ”

"My lord, they are slaughtering pigs and sheep at the bottom of the mountain. Looks like you're ready for a delicious meal, look, sir. Zhang Rui knew that the beasts Lu Haoshan was talking about did not mean livestock, but the troubled king and his gang who caused the tragedy of great wealth.

Lu Haoshan picked up the binoculars and looked down, that's right, a group of people set up tents at the leeward position at the foot of the mountain, and built a few bonfires, some people were killing cattle and sheep, and then many people gathered together, some people still had silver or something in their hands, they should be gambling.

This little life is not bad, there is food, drink and play, no wonder those people like to rebel so much, even if they risk killing their heads, they are not afraid.

The person who is in trouble is pitiful because he does not know when he will be able to get out of it; A person who is in despair is terrible because he becomes unscrupulous and does crazy things when he has no way to live.

Lu Haoshan was watching, and Zhang Rui on the side took the initiative to report: "My lord, this gang of thieves has a total of one hundred and fifty-seven people, with thirty-two horses, sixty bows, long knives, and spears. ”

More than 100 people, this is a small group of mobs, like Zhang Xianxun and Zijinliang, who have tens of thousands of people in their hands, no wonder they didn't go to Shunde, Zhending and other places to act, it seems that he has self-knowledge and only dares to wander around these places.

"Is there any information about this troubled king?" Lu Haoshan suddenly asked.

Li Dingguo on the side said: "My lord, I have heard of this king of troubled times, he is a boxer in Hanzhong Mansion, Shaanxi, who makes a living by selling art and teaching apprentices, because he can't see that he is wanted for an official child who molests a woman from a good family, and he pulls people against him in a fit of anger, only knowing that he is known as the king of troubled times, and I don't know what his real name is." ”

A native of Hanzhong, Shaanxi?

Sun Xiong clenched the weapon in his hand and said excitedly: "My lord, no matter how many there are, they are only more than a hundred people, we have eight hundred, where our opponent is, as long as one charge will kill all these scumbags." ”

"Yes, my lord, give the order."

"These more than 100 people, it is estimated that a round of muskets and a round of archery will overturn them all, or if you exterminate them for the New Year, in this way, the court will not reward them, and the local government and those squires will also go to the road."

Some people started to fight, and the rest of them also asked for war, and when they saw or heard about the destruction of the rich Pei family, they were all very angry, and they all asked to go and kill them.

On the battlefield, it is necessary to talk about strategy and bravery, and when encountering a difficult opponent, it is better to make good use of Sun Tzu's art of war, how to attack and defend well, build camps and set up defensive projects, etc., but to deal with these people who have just washed their feet and go to the fields, just rush up and kill them, because whether it is the number of personnel, personal qualities, equipment, morale, etc., Lu Haoshan has an overwhelming advantage.

This is called one force down ten meetings.

Lu Haoshan's face was a little hesitant, and he said a little strangely: "It's weird." ”

"What's so strange, my lord?" Sun Xiong asked a little strangely.

"These people are of different scales and are very mobile, and the number of personnel is estimated to be that the leaders are not very clear, but the question is, how can there be no old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children among the people of this king of troubled times?" Lu Haoshan asked a little strangely.

The peasant uprising was not a barracks recruitment. As long as you can move, you can follow if you want to eat a mouthful of dry food, some people are not at ease at home, drag their families to join those teams, and those leaders have no way to do this, in fact, they also hope that these old and young women and children can join, and they can usually do some chores and logistics work, and become cannon fodder or escape as a strong man in the team when necessary, but it is strange that this road is known as the king of troubled times.

All the strong men.

Zhao Gongchang also found this situation. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "My lord, will they treat those old and young women and children as abandoned children when they are chased by officers and soldiers?" ”

There is also this possibility, Lu Haoshan thought about it for a while, and ordered: "Li Dingguo, Sun Xiong, and Dashan listen to the order." ”

"The little ones are here." The three of them saluted and responded.

"The terrain below is like a canyon, Sun Xiong and Dashan led 200 men to attack from the left, Dingguo led 200 men to attack from the right, and attacked from the left and right. Attack with muskets and bows and arrows first, and give these beasts the maximum damage, by the way, what kind of troubled king. Give me a live catch. ”

The three of them agreed in unison, and then each picked some people and prepared to carry out the mission.

After the three of them left, Lu Haoshan asked Zhao Gongchang to lead people on the flank. To prevent fish from slipping through the net, Lu Haoshan sat on the hillside, condescending to prepare to watch the play.

The desolate terrain and the vast night gave the King of Troubled Times and others a great sense of security. With their experience, every time the officers and soldiers go out, they like to fight during the day for fear of being attacked, and rarely go out at night, so they all look very relaxed, even the people in charge of the sentry, they also seem to be careless, in their subconscious, thinking that those officers and soldiers are also busy with the New Year.

A middle-aged man who was on guard was stabbed several times in the chest with his mouth covered, and he fell in a pool of blood with a frightened face, and the two chatting men suddenly collapsed one after another, one was hit by an arrow in the chest, and the other was shot through the head, and the two fell down like this, Lu Haoshan nodded secretly in the telescope: Sure enough, you get what you pay for, the training in front of them is not in vain, and the money, food and energy invested in them are not in vain.

Putting down the sentry man, the two teams began to slowly approach the camp of the King of Troubled Times, and when those people found out that something was wrong, Li Dingguo, Sun Xiong and others were less than sixty feet away from them.

Seeing that the enemy had noticed his whereabouts, Li Dingguo raised the iron gun in his hand and said loudly: "Brothers, kill." ”

At the same time, Sun Xiong shook the sledgehammer in his hand and shouted: "Kill!" ”

Under an order, a group of soldiers rushed over with the sound of killing, and it could be seen on the mountain that the two teams of people rushed towards the camp at the foot of the mountain like two torrents, and the people who were still gambling just now woke up and hurriedly picked up and prepared to resist, and under the reflection of the firelight, they were all panicked faces: they never dreamed that there were officers and soldiers at this time, and when they found out, everyone was killed in front of them.

Sixty zhang is about 400 paces, and the infantry needs some time, but it doesn't take half an hour for the cavalry, and the four hundred cavalry charge at the same time, and the momentum is like tens of thousands of people charging, and the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing seems to collapse the canyon.

"Bang Bang"

"Whoosh"

When there are about a hundred steps, the soldiers on horseback began to set fire guns and arrows, riding archery is Lu Haoshan's focus on training items, riding archery is not only archery, but also fire guns, the order is to put fire guns first and then shoot arrows, because the musket has a long range, but it is troublesome to load, it is difficult to complete the loading process on the back of a bumpy horse, I have to say that when the impact bullet is studied in the secret workshop, the bow and arrow are still the king in terms of mounted archery, because the musket is finished after one shot.

After dealing with Jin Tieqi, it was a bit reluctant, but against these mobs, this was already overkill.

One by one, the mob fell, they did not have the plain and discipline of the soldiers, as soon as they saw the danger coming, they did not think about resisting, but how to escape, although there were small leaders who desperately urged, but it did not work, Lu Haoshan's army rushed to the front, but they could not organize manpower to defend or break through.

The tent fell, the fat sheep on the shelf fell to the ground, the soup pot on the shelf turned over on the ground, with the soldiers' knives and spears, one by one the mobs screamed and fell in a pool of blood, the court is now dominated by suppression, Lu Haoshan has few troops, and he has no intention of taking prisoners.

Lu Haoshan sighed softly, put down the binoculars in his hand, turned his head to Tang Qiang and said, "Okay, let's go down." ”

The overwhelming advantage, the one-way slaughter, the victory or defeat is not half a suspense at all, and Lu Haoshan is too lazy to watch it.

The main purpose of this battle is to vent an outlet, by the way to review the training results of his soldiers, from the point of view of action, the effect is not bad, the lethality in the cavalry shooting is considerable, a round of muskets and a round of sharp arrows, most of the mobs in the canyon have fallen, but I don't know if there is anything wrong with the king of troubled times.

If he dies by a shot or arrow, it is his luck.

From the attack to Lu Haoshan's decision to go down the mountain, the whole process took less than a quarter of an hour, and the overall situation was decided.

Tang Qiang responded, and several old brothers from the private guard team tightly surrounded Lu Haoshan and escorted him down the mountain. (To be continued......)
