Kill!

A low roar erupted from Zhang Mu's mouth.

With a 'poof', he pulled out the saber at his waist and went straight to the officers and soldiers to kill him.

And Chen An was also stunned, he never expected that at this time, he would still be able to meet a rogue, wasn't he beaten away by Lu Xiangsheng just now?

At this moment, Chen An and Wen Daozhou's heads were a little dazed.

They were stunned, but Zhang Mu was not stunned at all, and was ready to do it with the officers and soldiers all the time.

And before that, it was also simulated again and again.

Archery!

At the same time, the archer drew the crossbow in his hand, and then shot one arrow after another.

In an instant, many officers and men were shot and wounded.

It was in this short moment that the two sides were close to each other.

Zhang Mu, Daniel Zhang brazenly entered it.

At this time, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!

Whoever is ruthless will win.

The officers and soldiers reacted slowly, first they were injured by arrows, and before they were surrounded by rogues, they fought bloodily all the way, and they had palpitations, and then they were killed by Zhang Mu so fiercely.

Officers and soldiers, were scattered.

Chen An's soldiers can be regarded as a regular army, and it is not that they have no strength to fight when they encounter the Liukou, and they can still hold on in the face of the encirclement of the Liukou, although they are not as good as Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, Zu Kuan, and Zu Dale's border army, but they are also regular troops.

Dealing with Zhang Mu is not without the strength of a battle.

However, this breath was unloaded.

Head-to-head, when Zhang Mu killed in, when the steel knife in Zhang Mu's hand stabbed through a soldier fiercely, fear began to spread, Daniel Zhang was even more courageous, he followed Wang Huchen to learn gunnery during this time, he was already in the hall, this killing method, is more and more skillful.

Secondly, the weapons of these officers and soldiers are not steel knives and spears, and most of them are equipped with bird guns.

However, the main problem is still with Chen An.

Once he came into contact with Zhang Mu, his first reaction was, damn it, there must be a large number of rogues around here, and there are four or five hundred people in his hands, if the surrounding rogues rush up and kill a horse pistol, then he will not have any chance to escape at all.

Remove! Remove! Remove!

Chen An's mouth made a crazy sound, although he was burly, but at this time, he was still thinking about preserving his strength.

It was originally an encounter, plus Chen An, this guy, shouted all the words in his mouth were retreat and the like.

How can officers and soldiers still have the fighting spirit?

In an instant, they began to turn around, and one by one they ran faster than the rabbits.

"Bird?"

Zhang Mu picked up a weapon that was thrown to the ground by the officers and soldiers, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then he immediately said with bright eyes: "Chase me, don't let them run away!" ”

While speaking, Zhang Mu also grabbed the bird gun in his hand, picked up the flint, lit the fire rope with his hand, and pulled the trigger fiercely at an officer and soldier who had escaped.

It feels so familiar!

Bang!

A bullet fell on the back of an officer and soldier in an instant, and on the spot, the officer and soldier were knocked to the ground.

"Good marksmanship!"

Daniel Zhang on the side sighed.

Zhang Mu was a little embarrassed: "I'm aiming for another!" ”

There is still a huge gap between this bird gun and the muskets of later generations.

Pursue!

Zhang Mu gave the order.

However, the result was very disappointing to Zhang Mu, this group of officers and soldiers ran fast, and even Zhang Mu himself was a little out of breath, so he didn't catch up.

Some of them rode horses and were in excellent physical condition.

In comparison, how many days did Zhang Mu's group eat a full meal?

There is also a question that Zhang Mu also does not dare to chase too deeply, what if he is outflanked by someone, and what if he is discovered by the officers and soldiers that he does not have any ambush soldiers?

"When you go back, you must exercise your endurance!"

Zhang Mu was secretly ruthless in his heart, and then let Daniel Zhang feign to pursue, and at the same time, he ordered to start cleaning up the battlefield, and a total of fifteen bird guns were captured.

This group of officers and soldiers still made Zhang Mu a little greedy.

This group of officers and men was armed with a large number of bird guns, and at least 300 of the 500 men were equipped with bird guns.

If it's all in your own hands, it's a blast.

If you gather some skilled craftsmen yourself, you may be able to develop a flintlock musket.

Bi Maokang, a Ming Dynasty firearms researcher, also made flintlock pistols. Its construction and performance are not much different from the previous bird guns, mainly because of the improved firing device, these bird guns can be modified to make flintlock muskets.

It was a pure accident to get the bird's gun.

Zhang Mu's real purpose is still in Dengzhou City, now that all the officers and soldiers have left, Zhang Mu immediately ordered to block the city, and then began to register the residents in the city, and at the same time, immediately ordered the militia of Longyan Township to transport grain to Dengzhou County.

In the entire Dengzhou County, all the things that can be emptied by yourself are emptied.

Coal, iron ore, paper-making technology, ink, paper, books were all removed, and there were professionals such as blacksmiths, carpenters, and printers.

Fortunately, this kind of people have not been given to Huo Huo by the rogue, they are poor ghosts, and they can't squeeze out money, the rogue belongs to whoever has the money to earn the silver, and the officers and soldiers belong to the unscrupulous.

into the city

Zhang Mu immediately began to give porridge, and also developed steamed buns.

The people of Dengzhou City experienced the rogue and the officers and soldiers in a short period of time, although before, the rogue distributed food to them, this was the first half of the night, and the second half of the night was taken away by the officers and soldiers.

The rogue broke up, and when he left, no one listened to Gao Yingxiang or Li Zicheng's orders, and grabbed another handful.

At this moment, the people of Dengzhou County were already hungry and destitute, and when they saw someone distributing food, although they were afraid, they still walked out of their hiding place.

It's so hungry that the city can't find food anymore, and there's no order.

Zhang Mu's appearance was to maintain order, distribute food, and at the same time, crack down on ruffians and hooligans.

For the people who appeared, Zhang Mu registered their occupations, names, and places of origin one by one.

In addition to the group of officers and soldiers under his command, Zhang Mu also had a militia unit specializing in transporting grain, and these people continuously sent grain from Longyan Township to Dengzhou County.

These people do not need to go into battle.

It is only necessary to be responsible for transporting grain, and secondly, to remove all the means of production in the city, as much as they can, and to remove all of them before the officers and men return.

However, this is also a test of one's organizational skills.

It is impossible for him to stay in Dengzhou County for a long time, and he must move everything that can be removed in the shortest possible time.

Everyone is busy, even Zhang Mu himself has to go into battle in person.

"Name!"

Zhang Mu asked.

"Luo, Luo Ping'an!" At this moment, standing in front of Zhang Mu was a burly man.

"Luo Ping'an!"

Zhang Mu smiled, registered casually, and said with a smile: "Age? ”

“27！”

"Career!"

"I'm a blacksmith!" Luo Ping'an said while biting the steamed bun.

"Blacksmith!"

Zhang Mu's eyes lit up slightly, and he said without moving: "Are you willing to go with us?" ”

"Go, where are you going?" Luo Ping'an asked.

"Longyan Township, Zhangzhuang!" Zhang Mu smiled and said, "We need it now, how about you want to come with us?" ”

"Are you officers and soldiers?" Luo Ping'an asked vigilantly.

"We are the rebels!" Zhang Mu said directly: "You join us, you are a special profession is a blacksmith, you can enjoy five acres of cultivated land, you can not participate in farmland work, five acres of cultivated land you can enjoy a certain amount of grain dividends, in addition, you will be paid every month, how about it?" ”

"Arita? I know you, are you, aren't you, are you, bandits? ”

Luo Ping'an swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth fiercely, but his face showed a little curiosity: "You divide the fields, I know!" ”

"Will you come with us?" Zhang Mu asked.

Luo Ping'an hesitated for a long time, then nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Compared with the officers and soldiers, the Liukou can be regarded as a bit humane, and Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army is also a rare army with strict military discipline, but after entering the city, for the people, it is the officers and soldiers who hurt their feelings the most.

It is mainly the border army of Zu Kuan and Zu Dale.

However, for the people, they still care about your border army and Tianxiong army, they only know.

This group of officers and soldiers is a real bandit, and the bandits are not as good.

Just two words, disgusting!

Zhang Mu's work was very fast, and at the same time, he also established a guard around him, once he found that the officers and soldiers were back, he immediately withdrew, and at this time he came back either the Tianxiong army or the border army.

It is definitely not possible to go to war head-on with officers and soldiers, because people still have artillery in their hands, and a field battle is a dimensionality reduction blow to themselves.

However, now Lu Xiangsheng is mainly staring at Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng.

As long as they don't come to Dengzhou, Lu Xiangsheng will not look back.

Zhang Mu stayed in Dengzhou County for three days.

A total of sixty-five blacksmiths, eighty-two carpenters, thirty-five papermakers, and a number of cooks were harvested.

They still have a lot of future, a glorious tomorrow, even Xiucai is not willing to be a thief.

Zhang Mu is not polite about this, that is, if this group of scholars wants to drink porridge and eat steamed buns, ten taels of steamed bread and ten taels of porridge in a bowl, they love to buy it or not, they are hungry if they don't buy it, and they will starve to death.

A group of scholars cursed Zhang Mu as a bandit, and Zhang Mu said with a smile, yes, he is a bandit.

There were 2,892 people who left with Zhang Mu, including 1,432 women (including girls).

In addition, Zhang Mu still got twenty-six textile machines, as well as some paper-making tools, some ironware, some medicinal materials, some salt, some ink, some brushes, and a few books.

There is not much food, although there is a lot of reserves before, but some of it was robbed by the rogues, part of it was coaxed by the officers and soldiers, and the rest was concentrated in the ruffians and hooligans, originally thinking of raising the price of food, but Zhang Mu came and solved this group of ruffians and hooligans, so that these grains also fell into the hands of Zhang Mu.

Subsequently, Zhang Mu quickly left Dengzhou County.

With this departure, Dengzhou County directly became an empty city.

A group of people left Dengzhou County in batches, and the materials were also transported separately, but just when Zhang Mu decided to leave, Liu Sihai sent someone to deliver a message.

Wen Daozhou, the county commander of Dengzhou County, and Chen An, the eunuch guarding the town of Nanyang Prefecture, had been captured alive, in addition, 472 officers and soldiers were captured alive, 286 bird guns were seized, and in addition, 20,000 taels of silver were obtained.
