A thousand elites, with the most advanced weapons and the most advanced tactics, ambushed more than 20,000 feudal armed forces whose morale had been hit and had not yet recovered, even if the results were counted, it only took fifteen minutes before and after this ambush to end.

Three of the assault regiments were killed in this battle, all of which were directly hit in the face or neck without body armor protection, after all, the bullets of the enemy's counterattack were too dense.

More than 5,300 people were killed in this battle, of course, this assault regiment naturally did not know, but in the follow-up, more than 30,000 people were reinforced, so on the whole, it did not decrease but increased, and the most combat effectiveness is questionable.

The bodies of the three compatriots were taken away by their comrades-in-arms, and the firecrackers that could not be taken away were directly blown up with grenades and were not left to the enemy.

Zhang Xianzhong did not pursue, he did not know whether the enemy would set up a second ambush, and besides, the situation of the encirclement was torn apart lightly, which was a problem in itself. Since the enemy army can break the situation of the encirclement so easily, then it is natural that they can turn around and counterattack without encirclement, and God knows how much blood of the warriors of the Great Western Kingdom will have to pay at that time. Moreover, the feudal army, there are not many troops, which can kill more than 30% in battle, and still be able to maintain discipline and will to fight.

At least, the remnants of the vanguard team around him had no desire to fight at all. It would take a period of pacification, a period of recuperation, and even a small victory or two to get them back into battle. This ambush by the Wehrmacht still cast a shadow on their hearts to some extent.

"Firearms, damn firearms!" Zhang Xianzhong is really hot, and he is determined to develop firearms at any cost.

It's just that the tuition fee to be paid for this lesson is too high and too high.

At this moment, he has no intention of continuing to crusade against the republic, a thousand people can make him unbearable, if tens of thousands of people lurk into the Great Western Kingdom, wouldn't the entire Great Western Kingdom have to be jumped up, or even directly collapsed?

Zhang Xianzhong can't afford this risk. And he has realized that the Republic is in his territory, and he is only afraid that there are some secret strongholds, otherwise even if he can sneak in, how can these weapon supplies be obtained? Yes, these strongholds must be uprooted, otherwise every day will be better.

For example, his capital is in Guiyang, but if Guiyang also has a stronghold of the other party, and then more than a dozen elite enemy troops lurk in.

I can't stay in the palace all day, I always have to come out, and I even have to arrange some outdoor activities or something. When the time comes, just throw a basket of grenades over, and with the power of the grenades of the republic, you will have to be crippled if you don't die. In this case, I feel cold all over my body when I think about it.

Seeing that the enemy was retreating, Zhang Xianzhong just sent someone to simply chase after him, and at the cost of more than 300 people who did not know where to go, he let the enemy army go. As for the rest of the army, they still entered the Kaiyang City in front of them.

It was a county town, and although the walls were not built of cement, they were tall and sturdy. Perhaps because of this, the enemy was not able to take it.

Inside, at least you can be assured that everyone is safe. The rest is to appease the people's hearts first, and then purge the Great Western Kingdom to uproot the enemy's secret strongholds, and finally investigate little by little, so as to drive the enemy out of the Great Western Kingdom.

Enemy firearms are powerful? Hehe, as long as the stronghold is uprooted, the other side still has ammunition supplies? Zhang Xianzhong has seen the bullet casings, and he knows that this kind of bullet must only be produced by the Republic itself, and he should not expect supplies from others. At least, he can't make such a bullet, and if he can really do it, this time he will not use troops against the republic, and this will not be the result.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to capture a batch of guns and ammunition in a secret stronghold, this expedition will be worth it!

Yes, it's worth it!!

At night, Zhang Xianzhong refused the banquet of the Kaiyang County Order, after all, his son had just died, who was interested in the banquet, and he still felt that this girl still knew that the army helped him stabilize the feelings of the soldiers.

"Hopefully, I'll give you a mission!" Before Zhang Xianzhong fell asleep, he called Sun Kewang over.

"The father-in-law should tell him directly, that is, it is only right for the child to share the worries and solve the problems of the father-in-law." Sun Kewang replied respectfully on the side.

"It's not in vain that the old man loves you so much...... Now with you as the main leader, I will conduct an investigation in the entire Great Western Kingdom, and I need to find out all the enemy's strongholds, and it will start immediately tomorrow, starting from this city first! On the day of completion, you will be the crown prince of my Great Western Kingdom! Zhang Xianzhong patted him on the shoulder and said to him.

Sun Kewang is just a righteous son, and Zhang Xianzhong is not without a son, but Zhang Xianzhong's promise not only made Sun Kewang panic, but also made him a little excited.

"Don't think about it, the father is your father, you are the son of the father, what's wrong with the father passing on the throne to the son, don't you have the surname Zhang?" Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile.

Indeed, Sun Kewang's official title is Zhang Kewang, and like Ai Nengqi, since becoming Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, their surname is 'Zhang'.

The father and son chatted briefly, and Zhang Xianzhong used exhaustion as an excuse to let Sun Kewang go back to rest. Lying on the bed alone, Zhang Xianzhong also couldn't sleep, and he didn't know what he was thinking or what he was thinking about.

In the dark night, in a mansion in Kaiyang City, several people in black jumped out.

They are the most elite squad of the Assault Regiment, but Zhang Hongbin cultivates them as special forces, and they are much higher than others in terms of resources and treatment. But again, their training intensity was enough to put the commander of any feudal army to shame.

The leader of this unit is Zhang Tao, who is the only special forces recognized by Zhang Hongbin.

This mansion is one of their secret strongholds in Kaiyang, nominally a courtyard bought here by the Zhejiang boss, and the Zhejiang boss comes here every year to sell all kinds of Jiangnan goods. In fact, the boss behind this Zhejiang boss is still an internal guard.

Neiwei Tong guò manipulated some merchants or gentry in Guizhou or elsewhere to buy some shops or houses on enemy territory as strongholds. Because it is hidden, I am afraid that Zhang Xianzhong will investigate it three or four times, and he may not be able to find the problem behind it. Unless he broke into every house and searched every inch of land.

Perhaps, Sun Kewang will do that, but that will also be tomorrow.

Who knows that the army was ambushed today, so for whatever reason, tonight's defense will be the highest. Ordinary spies or assassins want to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor at this time, it is absolutely impossible.

"I have to say that there are more than three times as many people patrolling as before, but we have figured out that we are patrolling and moving, even if they triple the number of people, they are not our opponents!" Zhang Tao looked disdainfully at a patrol team in the distance.

Dressed in black, their team was ambushed in alleys that patrols would never enter, waiting for them to leave.

In three minutes, the team was indeed far away, and they carefully avoided the other teams and came to the next alley. Then he took out his flying claws and hooked the courtyard wall of a certain house, climbed in, trotted a few steps and flew out with his strength, and escaped into another alley.

For five minutes, the team shuttled freely through the city like an iron bucket, and they didn't even notice their existence.

In this way, they touched the county mansion where Zhang Xianzhong was staying.

It was disgraceful, but they cautiously felt through the back door, and in a dog hole in the corner, they slipped in. This dog hole may not be big, but it can barely squeeze them in. People who are too tall are not suitable to be special forces, after all, that physique can easily expose their existence. Tall or something, being a fireman is the most suitable, holding a heavy machine gun "Tututu" or something is the most exciting.

Behind the dog cave is the residence of the subordinates, and of course there is a firewood room and a kitchen. It's the quietest place on weekdays and at this time. Not to mention this dog hole, it was originally intended to facilitate the free entry and exit of dogs, but I was worried that others would come in from here to steal things, so it was specially set up in a remote way, and most people really didn't know that there was a dog hole here.

But drilling a dog hole or something, naturally makes people feel a little uncomfortable, but this method is the safest than taking off to attract attention.

A few dark shadows flashed by, and soon found a hiding place, from now on, they had to play freely, if they were caught, they either broke through or committed suicide after a bloody battle, and no matter what, they could not be captured. They themselves are a great secret, and they must be guarded for the republic.

"Whoosh...... With the sound of a breaking wind, the delicate little crossbow arrows quickly shot through the heads of several patrol soldiers.

Soon, a few people dressed as soldiers separated and went to various places.

Zhang Tao is mainly responsible for the residence of the owner of the backyard of the county government, which should have been the residence of the county order, but if Zhang Xianzhong is here, then he should move in.

Looking at the two elite soldiers guarding this residence outside the door, Zhang Tao can be sure that Zhang Xianzhong is definitely inside!

A crossbow bolt directly hit the throat of one of the soldiers, and before the other soldier could react, Zhang Tao rushed over and grabbed the throat of the soldier. The two soldiers didn't even know who did it, and they both died.

Zhang Tao knew that this hand would not be hidden for too long, so he could only immediately take out a silver needle and open the window, seeing that there was a person lying on the bed, regardless of whether it was Zhang Xianzhong or not, he took out a grenade and pulled the lead, and threw it directly in.

Then, he took out a flare and shot it, and the whole person immediately ran towards the backyard.

With a "boom", a grenade sounded in the bedroom, and the sound pierced the silent night......
