Zuo Liangyu continued: "Lu Shao is in charge, your public loser family is located in Dujiangyan, I am afraid that your public loser's firearms technique will be stolen by Zhang Xianzhong, so I sent troops to investigate several times, but the spies sent have not returned. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info I'm also anxious now, if the Gongyi family is really captured by Zhang Xianzhong, then Chengdu will also fall one after another. The whole of Sichuan will become Zhang Xianzhong's bag. ”

He paused, his expression became extremely serious, and said: "Therefore, I am ready to organize a counteroffensive in the near future to completely crush Zhang Xianzhong's troops, in order to recapture northern Sichuan. ”

Lu Guanzhong got this executive messenger, and was worried that there was no place for him, and when he heard this, he immediately arched his hand and said: "General Zuo, although the number of thugs under me is small, they are all strong in martial arts, and they are willing to be the vanguard to serve as a dog and horse." ”

Zuo Liangyu said happily: "I'm worried that no one is available, Lu Shao is so loyal and brave, it is really a blessing in the world." ”

Then he said when to attack tomorrow, how many ways the troops will be divided, and where to use the soldiers, and said cautiously: "Lu Shao, although these soldiers under your command are brave, but after all, they are flesh and blood, if you go too deep into the enemy formation, I am afraid that there will be no flesh and blood, and I hope you will listen to my torch tomorrow and act together." ”

Although Lu Guanzhong was frivolous, he was not a reckless man after all, and when he heard Zuo Liangyu's words, he immediately replied: "Although Zuo Zongbing can rest assured, he will never act against the order. ”

After making an appointment and discussing all the details, and making proper arrangements, they sent down the order and prepared to act on the same day.

Early the next morning, the sky was bright, the suburbs of Sichuan were dark, and there was no light, Lu Guanzhong led a hundred executive messengers and quietly climbed down from the city wall.

The executive envoys are all martial arts masters, and although Lu Guanzhong's martial arts are not high, he has a real martial arts golden body, and he can cross ten zhang in one vertical and one jump, so he ran at a great speed, and came to the camp of Zhang Xianzhong's army in half an hour.

Zhang Xianzhong's "Impermanent Army" has a total of about 20,000 people, including the "Heavenly King Army" that has been quenched by the Snow Lotus Aura and the "Black Miasma Army" and the "White Pole Army" that joined later, of which the "Heavenly King Army" has about 3,000 people, the strongest strength, everyone can match the martial arts masters, plus Zhang Xianzhong has been practicing for a long time, proficient in various formations, and is not afraid of death. If the three thousand Guan Ning Iron Cavalry held the Three-Eyed Divine Gun to fight against it, it might not be its opponent.

Although the remaining "Black Miasma Army" and "White Pole Army" are far inferior in personal strength, they have a large number of people, while Han Xin's soldiers have always been more and better, so the overall strength is still superior to that of the Heavenly King Army.

In order to find out where Han Xin was stationed, Zuo Liangyu sent several scout troops out in a row, but none of them made any achievements, and even a few of them were not heard from, and it is estimated that they were poisoned.

Later, Zuo Liangyu came up with countermeasures, found some people in the army who had made light contributions, and promised him that he would be a high-ranking official. Taking advantage of the night, he sent him out of the city to investigate, and finally found several tents of Zhang Xianzhong in a mountain ten miles away. If these spies found a treasure, but they didn't dare to go deeper, they marked it on the map and hurried back to Zuo Liangyu to resume their lives.

At this moment, Lu Guanzhong came to a valley, and sure enough, he found that there was a camp tent in it, in which the fire was floating, and there was an endless coming-and-going, as if someone was patrolling it. According to the agreement, Lu Guanzhong ordered an executive envoy to run back for several miles, waving torches on a plain to transmit information, but due to the obstruction of mountains and rocks, Zhang Xianzhong's military camp could not see this move.

After Lu Guanzhong sent the information, he waited here as agreed, waiting for the signal of Zuo Liangyu's general attack.

According to the previous agreement, Lu Guanzhong's 100 men were the advance troops, and they were only used for reconnaissance, so as to avoid mistakes in the spies' information. The remaining 400 executive envoys were incorporated into Zuo Liangyu's army, led by Xiao Bei, as an elite force, responsible for fighting the strongest "Heavenly King Army".

Zuo Liangyu had already lined up outside the city to wait, and when he saw Lu Guanzhong's torch transmitting a message, he immediately ordered to march. So the troops of more than 30,000 people were silent as ice, divided into 30,000 teams, and quickly took cover in the direction of the valley.

The three teams arrived at their respective positions and were ready, Zuo Liangyu ordered the herald to shoot an arrow, and then the arrow turned into a firework in the air. Seeing this, Lu Guanzhong immediately issued an order, and a hundred executors attacked the military tent calmly and swiftly like night animals.

The enemy in the camp never expected the Ming army to come so quickly, and the patrolling soldiers were quickly killed. Then the messengers infiltrated the tents, picked up the sleeping soldiers, and killed four or five hundred people in a blink of an eye. Then the enemy reacted, shouting and rushing out of his camp, but he could not arrange the formation in a hurry, which meant that each soldier fought alone, and could not stop the execution of the messenger's three moves and two moves, and was soon torn out of his neck, and suffered heavy casualties.

Lu Guanzhong also killed several people, and found that the enemy was extremely weak, not as strong as described. I was suspicious in my heart, but I heard the sound of killing in the distance, accompanied by the sound of gold and iron, and knew that Zuo Liangyu had pinned down the enemy's main force. At this moment, the troops attacked by themselves had no reinforcements at all, so they immediately relaxed and concentrated on fighting the enemy in front of them.

After killing for a while, the enemy fell hundreds more, and he was no longer able to fight, when suddenly several generals rushed out of a tent, covering one man to run deeper into the valley.

Lu Guanzhong saw in the firelight that the man was wearing a scarlet helmet, which was very eye-catching in the dark night, and he just wanted to take someone to chase him. But after thinking about it, he said in his heart: "Don't be impulsive, lest you fall for the enemy's plan to lure the enemy in." ”

So he forcibly suppressed the urge to chase after him, and led the executors to continue to harvest the lives of the enemy's remnants.

Somehow, the enemy didn't seem to wake up, and when attacking and defending, he didn't have the strength of the soldiers of the "Impermanent Army", and there was no formation to assist, and soon thousands of people died and only about a hundred people remained, but they fought unyieldingly and fought to the death. Lu Guanzhong couldn't, so he could only lead everyone to attack and slaughter all the enemy troops.

This battle is over, and the sky has cleared. Lu Guanzhong saw the black and white enemy soldiers all over the ground, and a heroic feeling arose in his heart, and he just wanted to sing loudly and drink to celebrate. So he ordered the messengers to cut off the heads of the dead bodies and use them to record their military exploits.

Another hour passed, and the shouts of killing on several other battlefields were interrupted, and then a wolf smoke rose from the central battlefield. ”

Soon several wolf smoke rose straight up from the mountains, signaling that this night sneak attack ended in a complete victory.

All the soldiers met at the agreed place, Zuo Liangyu saw Lu Guanzhong, smiled all over his face, and said: "Lu Shao is in charge, when you first entered the battlefield, you have made such a great achievement. ”

Lu Guan Zhong bowed humbly and said, "It was General Zuo's careful investigation and clever strategy, which caught the enemy off guard." But it's also the enemy who is too pustular. I wanted to create chaos and divert the enemy, so that this group would not come to your aid when you fought with the main force. But later we found out that the enemy was not our opponent at all, so we had to fight the enemy to the end instead of obeying the military order. ”

Zuo Liangyu smiled and said: "It's okay, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can everything be carried out according to the plan? If you listen to the old man's arrangement, I'm afraid there won't be such a big victory." ”

The two complimented each other again, and then counted the troops and rewarded them for their merits.

It turned out that Lu Guanzhong led a hundred executors to kill 2,000 enemies, with an average of 20 swords per person, and his efficiency was high, ranking first in the whole army.

Xiao Bei's 400 Ming execution envoys killed 3,000 enemies, and their efficiency was far less than that of Lu Guanzhong, but Xiao Bei didn't care.

In this kind of fighting, these executive envoys were all unscathed, which shows the big gap between the top masters and ordinary people.

The remaining 30,000 people of Zuo Liangyu killed 5,000 enemies, although the number was large, but there were nearly 200 dead and wounded on his own side.

Zuo Liangyu looked at Lu Guanzhong and Xiao Bei in surprise, and said: "Lu Shao is in charge, Xiao Daxia, your Lu Xiao coalition army is simply a heavenly soldier, I think even the Guanning Iron Cavalry is not as elite as you." How exactly is it trained?"

Lu Guan Zhongxin said: "Nonsense, these people are all masters at the level of Shaolin Wudang, originally there were at most ten people on the rivers and lakes, but now there are five hundred people in one breath, and they cooperate seamlessly, if they can't win a big victory, isn't it a big joke?"

Although he thought like this, he couldn't say it clearly, so he said: "Mr. Zuo praised it falsely, these people were originally scattered people in the rivers and lakes, although their martial arts are high, but their discipline is loose, my Lu family paid a lot of money to hire them, and they can only have such a performance under the training of Xiao Tibetan Mastiff, and most of the credit must be counted on Xiao Daxia's head." ”

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he grabbed Xiao Bei's hands and said with a smile: "I can't see that Xiao Daxia still has such ability, I have a reluctant request, can Xiao Daxia join my left army to coach and train my soldiers?"

When Xiao Bei heard this, he knew that Lu Guanzhong had bad intentions and intended to throw the blame at him, so he hurriedly said: "Chief Soldier Zuo, in fact, I didn't do anything, it's just that Lu Shao is willing to spend money, and these people in the rivers and lakes are willing to serve their lives." I don't think it's as good as this, you ask Lu Shao's family to donate five million taels of silver for military salary, and I promise to train your soldiers to be extremely elite. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised, five million taels of silver was equivalent to two and a half years of treasury income of the Ming Dynasty, and they were afraid that they would not be able to draw out so much silver even if they dismantled the public losers. Lu Guanzhong immediately scolded angrily: "Wuna Tibetan mastiff, five million taels? Why don't you say ten million taels? Anyway, it's all about robbing money, so it's better to exaggerate." ”

Xiao Bei's face was expressionless, spread his hands, and said, "I'm sorry, this is already a conscience price." You see, General Zuo has 50,000 soldiers, and this is only 100 taels per person. If you want soldiers to die for you, I'm afraid it's not enough. ”

Lu Guanzhong was so angry that he smoked, and said: "You Tibetan mastiff who eats inside and outside, I have worked hard all the way, give you food, drink, and live for you, and you will bite me when you turn around, it is really cold by nature, and the dog can't change the **** ......"

Zuo Liangyu listened to the two arguing, his face was embarrassed, he coughed hurriedly, and stepped forward to play a round, which persuaded the two to make peace and resolved the dispute. (To be continued.) )
