Chapter 168: Sweeping the Mining Area III

"Keep your mouth alive." Wu Ming shouted.

Although Zhu Houhuang did not advocate killing, he still retained some of the habits of the Ming army, such as recording merit by the head.

Although Zhu Houhuang doesn't attach much importance to it, he doesn't care whether he attaches importance to it or not. This article is not exempt.

As soon as King Yong's soldiers fought with these bandits, they were defeated and retreated. Wu Ming even rushed forward, as if he was a mad tiger, killing several people in a row, shocking everyone.

These people didn't have much mental fortitude, and some of them fled immediately. As soon as someone broke and fled, the battle, which was already untenable, immediately collapsed.

In this way, the battle has entered the rhythm of King Yong's personal soldiers harvesting heads.

Only then did Wu Ming shout that he wanted to stay alive.

Wu Ming still has some prestige among King Yong's personal soldiers. No one dared to resist at the sound of an order. Wu Ming gathered the captives and asked, "Does anyone know the passage that came in here?" ”

Wu Ming's eyes seemed to be knives, and he looked at the captives one after another.

Immediately someone said, "This lord, I know? ”

Wu Ming smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Take him to see His Highness." ”

Wu Ming would not believe one person, and sent several people who claimed to know the channel to Zhu Houhuang in small boats.

Not long after, Zhu Houhuang sent an order, saying: "It is too dangerous to sail at night, enter the port again tomorrow, and entrust the affairs on the shore to Commander Wu." ”

Wu Ming's heart was excited, and he cleared a bamboo building near the dock. And clean up the corpses, and properly hold the captured prisoners, of course, this matter is no longer Wu Ming's business, because Wu Fengyi also changed ships and went ashore, and these prisoners must be interrogated by Wu Fengyi.

A hurried night passed, and as soon as the morning dawned, Zhu Houhuang took a big boat into this small river bay.

This is a small river, but over time, the place where the small river enters the sea is flattened by several meters, and it has become the so-called waterway.

But this waterway is not safe. Zhu Houhuang's ship is larger than ordinary ships, and it is a five-masted ship. It was even more difficult to pass through this small river channel When he entered the small river bay safely and soundly, the captain of Zhu Houhuang's ship was already sweating profusely.

Zhu Houhuang didn't know the thoughts of the captain of his ship, and as soon as he entered the river bay, he couldn't help but sigh What a good place.

The stream that washed down from the mountain pooled here, and the river became a little more open, but when you came across a rock at the place where it entered the sea, the river narrowed instantly. When the river enters the sea, it becomes extremely turbulent.

The scenery is not stunning, but it is also extraordinary.

It's just that not anyone is in the mood to see the scenery, Wu Ming and Wu Fengyi met Zhu Houhuang at the same time and said, "Meet His Royal Highness King Yong." ”

"Uncle excuse me." Zhu Houhuang made a false move. Wu Fengyi stood up, "What do you gain from a night of interrogation?" ”

"Naturally, there is." Wu Fengyi's cold face smiled lightly, as if he was laughing at Zhu Houhuang for not trusting his professional ability, and said: "Now it has been ascertained that the person who occupies the mountain in the mining area is the nearby Zheng brothers, the three Zheng brothers, the third brother died early, and only Zheng Boss and Zheng Lao Er are left. Originally, he did a business with no capital in the South China Sea, but His Royal Highness should regulate the order at sea, and the Zheng brothers avoided His Highness's edge first. At this moment, the news of the gold mine came out, and they found that the place where the gold mine was located was not far from their dark harbor, so they had such thoughts. In the end, wealth touches people's hearts. When he was in the South China Sea, he was afraid of His Highness's heavenly might. When I arrived in Beigang, I was not afraid. ”

"Don't pat yourself on the back and talk about the center of gravity." Zhu Houhuang said.

"There is a division of labor between Zheng Lao Da and Zheng Lao Er, Zheng Lao Da is in charge of the armed forces, and Zheng Lao Er is responsible for buying and selling stolen goods. Zheng Lao Da has been in the mining area for a long time, while Zheng Lao Er has been wandering outside for a long time. This port is under the jurisdiction of Zheng Laoer. ”

"In what direction is the mining area?" Zhu Houhuang had no interest in knowing their interpersonal relationships, only needed to know where the enemy was.

"In this direction." Wu Fengyi pointed to Zhu Houhuang to the south.

Zhu Houhuang looked up. Except for the plains by the sea, which spread along the coastline, the south is full of mountains, and although the mountains are not high, the road is not easy to walk.

"Let's go." Zhu Houhuang gave an order. Wu Ming went back to his old business of not collecting at night. Open the way in front and detect the enemy.

After walking for more than half a day, I came to a mountain basin. Wu Ming said: "Your Highness, according to what the captives said, further along, it will be the mining area. There is no open space to set up camp. ”，

Although the mining area is in the mountains, it is not on the top of the mountain. Zhu Houhuang raised his eyes to look, but in the distant mountains, there were many traces of bonfire smoke, and there seemed to be a lot of minions, and they couldn't stop showing their heads.

Zhu Houhuang asked: "Is this the road from the mining area to the sea after all?" ”

Wu Fengyi said: "Here, the Zheng brothers have only been here for more than three months. We don't necessarily know much more about the terrain than we do. This is not necessarily the way to the beach. But it is the only way for the Zheng brothers to know. ”

Zhu Houhuang didn't dare to take it lightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Order the sailor to swim on the nearby coast." If a ship is found, it must be inspected, and the Zheng brothers must not be allowed to get supplies from the sea. ”

"Yes." Immediately someone agreed to go down and give the order.

Zhu Houhuang secretly said in his heart: "At this moment, Yu Dayou should also block the road from the south, and now wait for the Zheng brothers to hold on to the mountain." ”

The Zheng brothers have just gained a foothold here, and they will definitely not have too many material reserves. Although Zhu Houhuang has a little financial difficulties, he is undoubtedly much better than the Zheng brothers.

Although it is not a place where birds do not poop, it is definitely not enough to support the survival needs of thousands of people.

Zhu Houhuang is hurting people with this.

At this point, Zhu Houhuang used a stupid method. A lot of time stupid methods can solve the problem.

"What? The officers and troops are coming from the north again? Boss Zheng frowned. Secretly said: "It's coming so fast." ”

As soon as he accepted the madman Wang, the official army forced him from the south, and he was wondering if he would take advantage of the unstable foothold of the official army to give the official army a dismount, but he didn't think that the official army actually came from the north. He was secretly surprised that the officers and soldiers came so quickly, and at the same time, he also gasped.

In the mining area, there are thousands of miners under his command. They were all snatched from the south. No matter what kind of person it is, people always have to eat.

He knew how much food there was in the cottage. The officers and troops were flanked from the north and south, and even if they didn't attack the mountain immediately, they couldn't accept it just by besieging him.

The blockade of one side must be broken. Boss Zheng thought to himself. said: "Someone, call the leaders over to discuss the matter." ”

After a while, people from all walks of life in the cottage arrived.

These people are all the old team of Boss Zheng across the sea, and none of them are kind and kind.

Boss Zheng said: "Brothers, everyone knows the current situation, if we continue like this, we don't need the official army to attack it, we only need to blockade the mountains for a month, and we will not be able to maintain it." In the current situation, what can you do brothers? ”

"Big brother, whatever you say is what you say. I'll listen to my eldest brother. Boss Zheng's subordinates shouted.

Boss Zheng was helpless in his heart, all his subordinates were characters who licked blood from the knife edge, killing people and setting fires, so he was naturally a good player. But let them think of ways and come up with ideas, which is difficult for strong people.

A person who is truly wise and brave, Boss Zheng stays under his hands, and he is not at ease.

"Brother Zheng, I'm crazy, I have something to say." The madman got up and said.

"Brother Wang, please speak." Boss Zheng said.

"The strength of the officers and troops is not something we can match. Therefore, if you want to defeat the official army, you must use tactics. The madman said.

"What is Brother Wang's plan?" Boss Zheng said.

"Night Raid." The madman said solemnly. "The strength of the officers and troops lies in the array, why don't the officers and troops directly attack the mountain, if they attack the mountain, their advantage is not there. If you attack at night, you can do all the minions in the mountains. In one fell swoop, he disrupted at night, gave full play to the advantage of a large number of people, and broke the officers and troops in one fell swoop. ”

"Okay." Boss Zheng is very happy, and there is only one biggest shortcoming of the official army, that is, there are few people. Five hundred is a lot less than the minions on the mountain.

Night battles, scuffles, chaotic battles, with more people and fewer people.
