I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

Just three days later, Hei Xiong and Luo Chao came back. Zheng Zhiyan beat the drum and gathered the generals, and found that there were many unknown people in the tent this time.

Luo Chao licked his big face and asked for credit: "Sixth Master, fortunately you have lived up to your fate. Jiulian Mountain, Nine Passes and Seven Villages have all surrendered. They are willing to submit to Sixth Master and crusade against the rebellious Chen Wan."

Zheng Zhiyan glanced at Black Bear reflexively, while Black Bear had a silly smile on his face.

After all, I had followed Zheng Zhipeng for so long. Although I despised this kind of wallflower that swayed in the wind, Zheng Zhiyan immediately changed her face to an enthusiastic one. She eagerly got to know the so-called masters of the Qizhai Village one by one, and took the title of Zheng Zhiyan. Come to the wine bowl, cut your fingers one by one and let out some blood, making an alliance with the blood, and making a promise to share wealth and honor.

Although not many people believe in this stuff, the form always needs to be changed.

"What's going on in Jiudu Mountain now?"

"Only Chen Wan's direct descendants are guarding, and they are on full alert. There is only one road up and down Jiudu Mountain. Now he has set up a checkpoint and is heavily guarded. I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat in a hurry. However, Chen Wan once sent a message. He said he was willing to surrender for the sake of his brothers and accept the recruitment, but I don’t know Mr. Liu..."

Zheng Zhiyan thought for a moment and said, "Write a letter to him. If he kills himself and sends his head to me, I will not kill him, so that his brothers will not suffer misfortune."

"This is."

Luo Chao took the order and sent someone to deliver the letter. Zheng Zhiyan and the others waited for two days.

In two days, of course, it was not that they did nothing, but they reorganized the new troops from Qizhai. After all, there were more than 3 troops, plus family members and the old, weak, sick and disabled living in the mountains, there were 10,000+ people. , dispatching Yi Cong, and then sending Yi Cong to take over the command system, and initially establish the transitivity of the command system, two days is not even enough.

Whether it's enough or not, Zheng Zhiyan can't wait anymore. After all, he only brought food for more than 4 people. Now the army has almost doubled in terms of quantity. It's too late to weed out the old and the weak. It tastes very delicious. I feel bad.

At noon on the third day, a drizzle began to fall in the sky, and the fire would become damp if it was not started, which would be quite disadvantageous for a local tycoon like him, so Zheng Zhiyan waved the command flag in his hand and ordered: "Yan Yingyuan, prepare for the artillery attack."

"Yes."

After a while, Yan Yingyuan was seen commanding more than a dozen artillery pieces, slowly pushing them out, and then giving an order, these artillery pieces roared towards the mountain road up Jiudu Mountain.Soon, the fortifications and roads at the foot of the mountain were destroyed. Most of the rebels had no time to escape, and they were all killed by this round of shelling.

Zheng Zhiyan looked up at the weather and said, "They probably won't be able to come down like this."

Black Bear and others nodded in surprise: "It's not easy to get down, but it's not easy for us to get up either."

Zheng Zhiyan said nonchalantly: "It's okay, just wait for the rain."

Of course Zheng Zhiyan has no ability to predict the weather, but in Fujian, it either doesn’t rain in winter, and it rains continuously. Zheng Zhiyan is also a native of Fujian, and he has a good grasp of the climate in this season. He knows very well that this rain will Can't stop for a moment.

"While the artillery is still wet, fire two more rounds while the others move back."

Yan Yingyuan also guessed what he was going to do, and without saying a word, he immediately ordered the artillery to start firing continuously, and no longer pointed at the road, but fired in circles. They continued firing like this for more than an hour. The rain began to get heavier, and Yan Yingyuan did not wait for Zheng Zhiyan's order. He quickly ordered to stop the bombardment and began to retreat slowly, waiting for the result.

The emperor paid off, and waited until dark again. As the rain accumulated on the mountain, it could not be drained out at all. He had originally planned to set up camp and sleep in the night. Finally, there was a loud rumble, and Zheng Zhiyan quickly ordered the army Retreat.

The mudslide is coming.

Basically, you just need to dodge this thing a little bit and don't get too close. In fact, it is not easy to hit people at the bottom of the mountain. But on the mountain, it will be a mess. Because the shelling has changed the terrain of the mountain road, the mudslide can roll up. It's said to be extraordinarily fierce. It might be okay on the top of the mountain, but those rebels living halfway up the mountain will definitely be miserable. It's not necessarily possible that all the ordinary bamboo houses will collapse.

After waiting for a while and seeing that the mudslide had stopped, Zheng Zhiyan immediately ordered: "Luo Chao, you come to command the brothers of Qizhai and the brothers of the Anti-Japanese Alliance to attack the city with the rope method. Yan Yingyuan, you lead the personal guards. Form a law enforcement team with your local heroes and stand by at the foot of the mountain. Anyone who retreats beyond the foot of the mountain will be killed without mercy."

Luo Chao was stunned when he heard this, but without saying a word, he tore his trouser legs to pieces, then waved his knife and said, "Brothers, follow me!"

Luo Chao knew very well that Mr. Liu did not trust the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Jiulianshan Surrendering Army, so he let them be the vanguard. Firstly, he would not feel bad if there were casualties. Secondly, he could test their quality and make it easier for the real soldiers in the future. Streamlined into an army.

Is this human nature? After all, the Xiangyong Army and the Disaster Victim Army followed the Fourth Master and fought against Liu Xiang and saw blood. They were all in Ningbo during this period, and their daily training was not delayed. In contrast, the Anti-Japanese Alliance Although it was established early, they are all genuine rabble-rousers. Who knows whether they will be useful or not.

As for the newly surrendered Jiulian Mountain bandits, they are even more likely to surrender.

Originally, all of this had nothing to do with Luo Chao. His camp was all single and homeless. When it came to war, they would fight and charge as long as they had money. In terms of combat effectiveness, they were among the best in the entire Zheng family army. , almost comparable to the well-equipped and well-trained Yi Cong, but the sentence that he came to lead the army suddenly made Luo Chao's blood boil.

As long as this battle goes well, he will be the leader of these newcomers!if not?You can't leave it to the black bear, it's not one of our own.

If there is such an army under his command, then his status in the Zheng family will be different in the future. At least he will no longer be overwhelmed by Yan Yingyuan, and it is even impossible to say that he is No. 1 besides Zheng.

Such an opportunity, even if he has to risk his life, even if there may be a recurrence of small mudslides at any time, he must seize it!

He is not a fool. He feels that the Fourth Master looks down on him, but the Sixth Master appreciates him more. If he doesn't perform well when the Fourth Master is not around and the Sixth Master is not making the decision, how will he ever have the chance to rise to the top?This was also the reason why he jumped into the pit without hesitation even though he knew that the black bear pushing him was not all out of good intentions.

As for the command, forget it. For the time being, all he can do is take the lead, but he believes that the surrendered soldiers and the bosses should know what they are doing.

Holding his Tang Heng Dao in his mouth, Luo Chao's eyes turned red and he used his hands and feet to crawl as fast as a big lizard.

"I want to... stand out! I want to be important! Whoever stops me will die!"
