Ye Qiufeng also felt that there was a feeling of laughter, just how did this kind of bandit who was defeated in one fight annihilate the tens of thousands of imperial army in the first place.

Could it be that in the imperial court, those famous generals who have fought on the battlefield for many years are not as good as such bandits.

The answer, of course, is no.

Why the hell, Ye Qiufeng thought too much for a while, military discipline, equipment, training, and this kind of musket that can be shot without the use of an arquebus.

All this may be the reason why the White Dragon Army can maintain and strengthen its combat power!

Baofeng County ordered Wang Luoren to come back to his senses from the earth-shattering shelling just now.

The subordinate catcher had already run to him excitedly to tell him that the attacking bandits had been routed and fled.

Wang Luoren pinched his thigh, and the pain told him that all this was not an illusion.

With the help of the head catcher, he went to the head of the city, and looked ahead, and sure enough, there were corpses left under the city, and then half of the living bandits were gone.

It can be seen that the thieves who had just gathered densely under the city have all disappeared, but the corpses all over the city show them how cruel this battle is.

"Am I dreaming?" Wang Luoren said in a daze.

Wang Luoren originally thought that this time there would be more than one bad luck, even if there were suddenly more soldiers of these four hundred soldiers in the city to defend, but in Wang Luoren's eyes, it was still impossible to hold off the strong attack of thousands of bandits.

But Wang Luoren never expected that the four hundred Xuzhou soldiers who rushed to help had already defeated thousands of bandits in less than a cup of tea.

"It's really a divine soldier."

Wang Luoren muttered to himself, and when he turned his head to look at the white dragon soldiers on the city, his heart was also full of awe.

For those soldiers of the White Dragon Army before, the dissatisfaction with their own negligence disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Even, Wang Luoren was in his heart at this time, but he complained about the local big families in the city, thinking that they didn't know how to lift, and at this time, they only cared about the interests of their own families.

"Hmph, it seems that after I go back, I will also knock and knock those old guys, and I must not make trouble for these Xuzhou soldiers.

I heard that General Li, who commanded this Xuzhou army, was a ruthless man, and he copied the homes of many big families in Xuzhou, killing people like hemp, and he caught the handle, which was the disaster of extermination! ”

Wang Luoren was vigilant in his heart, remembering the information he had collected about Li Zixiao before, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, what kind of general was it, what kind of soldiers did he bring out!

At this time, the gate of Baofeng County was opened, and the White Dragon Army began to go out of the city.

Wang Luoren was also shocked when he saw this.

"What are they going to do, are they going to chase down the fleeing thieves, it's too dangerous, if the thieves kill a horse pistol, what can they do, go and stop them."

None of the subordinates next to Wang Luoren moved, and after seeing the unpredictable ability of the White Dragon Army just now, who would dare to go to the trouble of the White Dragon Army.

However, they soon realized that the White Dragon Army was not chasing the enemy when they went out of the city, they were just going to clean up the battlefield.

"The soldiers are responsible for cutting ranks, the first flag is responsible for guarding, the second flag is responsible for collecting weapons and stripping armor, and the third flag is responsible for burning the corpses.

The military discipline officer cooperates with the clerk to keep a record of the number of enemies captured and killed. Cao Chengheng gave the order.

According to preliminary estimates, at least five or six hundred corpses were left under the city, and some injured bandits did not have time to escape.

Cao Chengheng asked his subordinates to kill these injured bandits, and then cut off the heads on the corpses, which can be regarded as a way to train the recruits in the team.

Although the White Dragon Army does not value individual-level military merits, it still requires the head to be cut off.

The most important merit of the imperial court, the real enemy level, can be exchanged for military merit rewards.

Fortunately, the military exploits of the White Dragon Army are not led in this way, otherwise it is estimated that the recruits who are responsible for cutting the ranks will have to cut off a few more heads and break their heads.

The military merit system of the White Dragon Army is more reasonable, and it is also divided into individual military merit and collective military merit.

In battle, if it can be made clear that an individual kills an enemy, it all belongs to the individual, but in some battles, the number of individual kills cannot be determined.

For example, in the current situation, who knows that he shot just now, that shot killed the enemy, and personal military merit cannot be calculated at this time.

Therefore, according to the military merit system of the White Dragon Army, the results of this battle will be counted into the collective honor of their team.

After the war, according to the value of the battle, they were given a double reward of money and honor.

When the time comes, the collective honor belongs to their team, and the money that comes down will be given to each flag by Cao Chengheng according to the order of meritorious service in this battle, and then to the non-commissioned officers of each banner.

Of course, in this battle, the main contributors were artillery and musketeers, but when the money was divided, those infantry would still get some of it, otherwise it would make the infantry feel cold.

The military merit system that Li Zixiao is now implementing in the White Dragon Army is also borrowing from the military merit system of later generations.

Moreover, while ensuring that the officers and men of the White Dragon Army have enough income to support their families, Li Zixiao began to vigorously emphasize the issue of military honor.

For example, he introduced the medal system, the third-class military merit system, and some small privileges for soldiers, all of which were so that the people under his command could be proud of defending their families and defending the country in the future.

Breaking the so-called saying that 'good men are not soldiers' handed down from ancient times in China, of course, honor must be given, but Li Zixiao will not be stupid enough to give his generals too much power.

This can also be regarded as a supplement for Li Zixiao's military generals, limiting the power of his subordinate generals, which is something that every leader must consider.

At this time, Li Zixiao's power is still in the initial stage, and it may be possible to appropriately relax the power of his generals, after all, in times of war, it is necessary to properly delegate power to generals at all levels.

But with the growth of Li Zixiao's power, the expansion of his territory, and the gradual improvement of his various systems, he must take precautions as early as possible.

Since Li Zixiao sent Cao Chengheng's team, he didn't care about Baofeng's side anymore.

Cao Chengheng was recommended by Xu Wei, according to Xu Wei, this person has good ability and has the ability to take charge of himself.

If he was given four hundred elites of the White Dragon Army to deal with a few thousand rabble, he wouldn't be able to complete it, and he didn't believe that Xu Wei's old eyes would be so unrecognizable.

Subsequently, Li Zixiao left Qi Lin to refuse to defend the Jiaxian camp fort, and he led a large team of men and horses to Ruzhou.

Halfway through, Zhang Fugui also sent someone to send information, and he had already investigated the situation of the bandit troops who were attacking Ruzhou at this time.

"The leader is Tian Jianxiu, the general under Li Zicheng." Li Zixiao looked at the note sent by Zhang Fugui in his hand and said in a low voice.

In fact, Li Zixiao knows a little more about several generals under Li Zicheng, such as Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong, Li Guo, etc.

To tell the truth, most of Li Zicheng's generals can only be regarded as mediocre people, and the only ones that make Li Zixiao have some deep memories are Li Guo and He Gao.

Soon, the scouts sent back by Han Tong also brought the latest information about Ruzhou.

"General, according to our reconnaissance, there are almost more than 20,000 bandits attacking Ruzhou City at this time, most of them are new soldiers, and their weapons are very rudimentary.

They have been attacking Ruzhou City for more than ten days, and they still have not taken Ruzhou City.

Tian Jianxiu led his troops to temporarily retreat to Yiyang, and sent a few of his thieves and generals to wreak havoc in the northeast of Ruzhou with a large number of bandits, breaking many large Zhuangzi.

They recruited young men, scavenged for food, and were preparing for their next attack on the city of Ruzhou.

And because of the arrival of thieves like Tian Jianxiu, the banditry in Ruzhou has become more serious.

Many small mountain bandits who were not famous in the mountains have also taken up the name of 'King Chuang' and quickly increased their strength.

The bandits who tried to attack Baofeng County and were repelled by Cao's team were actually not the bandits, but a mountain bandit. ”

The scout sent back by Han Tong made a detailed report to Li Zixiao.

"In other words, at this time, the men and horses of the field thieves temporarily evacuated outside Ruzhou City and retreated to Yiyang, and went to other places to plunder?"

Li Zixiao's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the key point and asked, as for the situation of other mountain bandits, he could have guessed it a long time ago.

But at this time, the main thing is to solve it first, Tian Jianxiu's army of thieves, as long as the Tian thieves are eliminated, other small groups of thieves in Ruzhou will be slowly cleared.

"Rush to Ruzhou City as soon as possible, and then enter the city quietly at night, and try not to let the thieves know the news of our arrival in Ruzhou City.

Let Han Tong secretly get in touch with Ruzhou City, and let's enter the city at night from the province, causing a misunderstanding. ”

Li Zixiao commanded the scout.

………………………………………………

Just when Li Zixiao led his troops to Ruzhou City, Tian Jianxiu, who temporarily returned to Yiyang, lived a luxurious life in Yiyang.

Tian Jianxiu completely inherited Li Zicheng's true character, and after capturing Yiyang City, he immediately set troops in the city and all the big households in the city and looted them.

Fortunately, Tian Jianxiu has not forgotten the slogan shouted by Li Zicheng, 'help the poor and the poor, collect people's hearts', and did not attack those poor people in the city.

On the contrary, in order to win over the hearts of the people in Yiyang City, Tian Mihide ordered some of the stolen grain to be distributed to the poor people in the city, taking the opportunity to buy people's hearts and recruit new soldiers.

Because of this, most of the people in Yiyang City are still very welcome to the arrival of the field thieves with their troops.

At the same time, the team under Tian Jianxiu also swelled from less than 10,000 people when he first came to more than 25,000 people.

After the failure of the previous attack on Ruzhou City, Tian Jianxiu retreated to Yiyang and continued to send around to loot money and grain, and recruit troops and horses.

In order to reward his soldiers, Tian Jianxiu also sent people to rob all the women in Yiyang City who were raided by him into the barracks, and then provided them for his subordinates to amuse.

"Tell me, how much money has been squeezed out."

On this day, Tian Jianxiu was in a luxurious mansion in Yiyang, hugging left and right, and there were two maids at his feet, helping him beat his feet.

The two beauties and women in Tian Jianxiu's arms used to be official ladies with heads and faces in Yiyang City, but at this time, they were numb by Tian Jianxiu's face that had long been tortured.

Tian Jianxiu's bandit leader returned with some pride: "General, in the past few days, we have continued to search for more than 100,000 taels of silver from the city.

In addition, there are more than 500,000 taels of gold, silver, jewelry, silk, etc., which can also be worth 30,000 or 40,000 taels.

This Yiyang county is a small county town after all, and the oil and water that can be squeezed out are almost squeezed by us, and there is really no oil and water for those poor mud legs. ”

Hearing his subordinates calling themselves generals, Tian Jianxiu was still very happy in his heart, after all, these bandit leaders who followed Li Zicheng all had a dream of being a general in their hearts.

Now, Li Zicheng is known as the 'King of Chuang', and his subordinates Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, Gao Yigong, etc., have all been named generals.

"Well, remember, don't touch those poor ghosts, otherwise let King Chuang know, no one will be able to save you, and leave half of this silver to reward the soldiers.

The remaining half will be sent to King Chuang, and in addition, we are short of a lot of silver now, but food, is there enough food for you to raise? ”

"General Qiyu, the food in the city has been looted by us before.

It's all to blame that the county magistrate surnamed Luo actually burned several granaries in the city when the city was broken, otherwise how could we not have enough food.

The leaders who had been sent out to look for grain had already been around for six years, and had already laid down several large forts and obtained a lot of grain, and it was estimated that in five or six days, they would be able to gather enough food. ”

"Five or six days? No, I can't wait that long. ”

When Tian Jianxiu heard this, he frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Lao Tzu only gives you three days, and after three days, Lao Tzu must see 30,000 stone of grain, otherwise you will screw your head off yourself." ”

"Yes, General. The little ones are going to urge them. ”

This Tian Jianxiu's subordinates were also taken aback, and said in horror.

Tian Jianxiu was in a hurry to scavenge for food, just to raise troops again as soon as possible and attack Ruzhou City again.

As long as the city of Ruzhou is conquered and a large amount of money and grain is captured, his team can expand again.

After all, Ruzhou City is also the state city of Ruzhou, and the level of wealth is not comparable to that of Yiyang, a county like Yiyang.

At this time, there was chaos in Yiyang City, and the bandits under Tian Jianxiu, although they were repeatedly warned, were not allowed to oppress the people and take advantage of them.

But in reality, there are very few bandits who can really abide by this.

At this time, in Yiyang City, it was really chickens and dogs, these bandits looted and destroyed first-class, but if they wanted to govern a place, it was simply ignorant.

Chaos is the truest portrayal of Yiyang City at this time.

Tian Jianxiu attacked Ruzhou City in front of him, losing three or four thousand men and horses, and when he returned to Yiyang, he used various coercion, threats and other means to quickly pull up a team of nearly 10,000 people.

In other words, at this time, the bandits under Tian Jianxiu had reached more than 30,000 horses, instead of the 20,000 people that Li Zixiao knew after receiving information.

Tian Jianxiu's selection is also all some young people, but these young people have not undergone any training, holding rudimentary weapons, they are really a group of rabble, suitable for cannon fodder.
