"Your Highness wants to incorporate the rebels?" Zhen Zhen asked busily.

"It's not about co-ordination," Su Chengyu said his plan, "Integration means merger and rectification." The Northern Jiangxi Righteous Army did not have a unified order, and it could not play its due combat effectiveness. I want to merge these more than ten rebel armies into one body, and the imperial court will give them food and weapons, and the righteous army will still nominate capable people to lead the battle.

"If supplemented by strict drills, the Qing soldiers in the three prefectures of northern Jiangxi are nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of the righteous army twisted into a rope."

Zhen Zhen was a little disappointed that he couldn't join the Dragon Guard, but even though he was relieved, with the little combat power of his subordinates, joining the Dragon Guard Army was probably just a burden.

She immediately bowed her hand proudly and said: "Your Highness's move is very beneficial to the rebels, and the people are willing to help gather the rebels from all walks of life to participate in the great event." ”

"I know the people of Raozhou Mansion well," Deng Shan also patted his chest and said, "The four rebel armies here will be contacted by me Deng!" ”

Su Chengyu was overjoyed and arched his hand: "Then there will be two righteous men." ”

The two of them made a note of Su Chengyu's arrangements, and then returned to the camp separately.

Jade Shura was dizzy with joy all the way, and he didn't know how to walk back to his military tent.

She immediately summoned several leaders of the righteous army she led, her eyes were shining, but she lacked her usual composure, and commanded everyone loudly, "Lao Hu, the loyal army and Jin Dadao will be contacted by you." ”

"Okay, I'll go." A man arched his hand.

"Li Yi, you go to the Ruichang area, let the Iron Leopard and their teams leave early, the road is long."

"I can save it."

"Uncle Zhao, you go to the northernmost part and inform Sun Mazi's team."

"Yes, Second Miss."

"Le Zhan, you are responsible for contacting the White Horse Battalion and the Loyal Army."

There was a snicker, and someone whispered to remind Yu Shura, "The loyal army has ordered." ”

"Oh," Zhen Zhen's face flushed slightly, and he changed his words, "It's not the Loyal Army, you, you better go to the north." ”

"It's for Uncle Zhao to go......"

There was another burst of laughter, and several people in the tent exchanged their heads and talked about why their usually calm and calm female leader seemed a little absent-minded today.

"Be quiet!" Jade Shura was furious.

……

Deng Shan was so anxious that he slapped the table and raised his voice and said, "Old Wei, it's too late to wait for half a month!" Depart in three days. ”

A strong man with a beard next to him spoke louder than him, "Deng Shan, it took Lao Wei and I a lot of effort to get the information about the change of guard of the Zhudu thief soldiers. missed the opportunity after half a month, and when they finished changing their defenses, they didn't know what year and month they would have to wait until they wanted to capture Zhudu! ”

"But the king of Chenzhou ......"

"Brother Deng, it's better not to be too concerned about this." Old Wei yawned and said, "When did the imperial court care so much about us?" I think it's just a show, and when the king is gone, everything will definitely be business as usual. ”

"Yes, yes, it's not worth it to delay the attack on Zhudu for this matter."

Deng Shan stood up abruptly and slapped the table again, "Isn't it just Zhudu?" If I help you take this place now, you will go to Duchang with me immediately? ”

The bearded man and Lao Wei looked at each other and smiled, "Brother Deng, you just have this heart." ”

"It's not for me to say, just those one-eyed fast guns in your Tieshan Camp, I'm afraid they won't be able to hit the height of the wall of the thief village."

It's no wonder that they ridiculed their words, the difference in the weapons of the Tieshan Battalion was well-known among the Raozhou Righteous Army. If it weren't for the people of Deng Shan who were not afraid of death in battle, the Tieshan Battalion would not be ranked among the righteous troops at all.

"One-eyed quickbolt? Hmph," Deng Shan raised his eyebrows, "It's today, let's go!" Let me see how my Tieshan battalion captured Zhudu! ”

With an earth-shattering roar, a hole the size of a wellhead suddenly appeared in the wall built of wood and bamboo outside the bamboo crossing. Accompanied by a cloud of debris, an iron ball flew past the eyes of the stunned Qing soldiers, smashed the soup pot they had set up on the fire, and burrowed into a barracks with a bang, boiling water and charcoal splashing everywhere.

Afterwards, there was a continuous sound of cannons, and in just a moment's time, the wall of Zhudu had been bombarded with holes.

Seeing that the walled wall was about to be knocked down, the Qing army stationed in Zhudu was like a hornet that had been stabbed in its nest, and fled from the north side of the ferry with a miserable scream.

Lao Wei, who had already been ambushed here, was about to pop out his eyes - no wonder Deng Shan dared to boast that he would be able to capture Zhudu, it turned out that he actually had a cannon! And it seems to be a heavy artillery!

He and Shi Qin, who had a beard, fought before and after, and he didn't win Zhudu for more than half a year, and it was only a little while before it was blasted.

He then yelled, "Give it to me!" ”

The ambush soldiers of the rebel army immediately swarmed out, raised their swords and fell, and cut down all the thieves to the ground one after another.

In front of Zhudu, two artillery soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army were guiding the people of the Tieshan Battalion hand in hand, wiping the gun chamber, cooling the gun barrel with a wet cloth, changing the gun, and igniting the gun. They completely treated this as a real combat exercise.

Another iron bullet flew into the Qing army camp.

The Qing soldiers who rushed out of the front gate were surprised to see a large and neat wolf bush in front of them.

In the gap between the wolf stalks, the Iron Mountain Battalion slenders who had been prepared for a long time immediately became a row of swords. Although the guns were placed very messily, relying on the superiority of numbers, the Qing soldiers were shot and fell to the ground one after another, and none of them could rush to within twenty paces.

Lao Wei and Shi Qin had never fought such a happy victory, and the rebel army wiped out nearly 400 thieves who took Zhudu with almost no losses.

The battle soon ended, and the two of them sandwiched Deng Shan in the middle, one left and one right, with a smile on their faces, "Brother Deng, where did you get these cannons?" ”

"I just saw you get a new bird?"

Deng Shan had a proud expression, "I said that you will return your mother-in-law and mother when you go to Duchang." Let me tell you, these weapons were randomly drawn to me by His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou. ”

"Whatever?"

"Just for the cannon?"

The two suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and after a while, they almost said in unison: "Go to Duchang, go now!" ”

On the outskirts of Yugan County.

Under a straw hut, two men in their thirties are sitting opposite each other.

The gray-robed man looked north, "His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou is really extraordinary, and he has done something that has not been appeased for a long time in a moment. ”

"Your Excellency is too modest." The man in the white shirt with swords and eyebrows continued, "His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou is indeed the one who has gathered the righteous army. But if it weren't for you, my lord, who had been threading the needle for the rebels, providing intelligence and guiding from the side, the rebels in northern Jiangxi would not have such a grand momentum. ”

"Where, where." The gray-robed man smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Tingxuan, according to your opinion, this Duchang this time, should I go or not?" ”

The man called Tingxuan immediately said: "My lord is going to go, who can be more familiar with this northern Jiangxi rebel army than you?" His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou has raised this important matter, and if there are twists and turns, you may need your help.

"Besides, the Loyal Righteous Army only obeys your orders, doesn't they?"

"Tingxuan has a point." The gray-robed man nodded, "In this way, I, Gu Mou, will go to Duchang today and meet His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou, who moved Jiangxi." ”
