More than ten general cannons of different calibers, more than twenty large and small Fran cannons, more than fifty Menhu squatting cannons weighing dozens of kilograms, plus a mighty 5,000 soldiers and horses, put down the rebel Ming army. Basically, Jia Liu and his party were treated as powerful enemies such as the Houjin Tatars and the Mongolian Tao bandits. Moreover, in order to be sure, any of their commanders who had the seal of the bandit generals even reported to the emperor. Eight hundred musketeers were transferred from the Daling River front line (not the ordinary Ming army soldiers who used matchlocks and fire gate guns, but the remnants of the Qi Army musketeers who had been trained for a long time and had been fighting on the Liaodong front line. They were familiar with the mandarin duck formation and fought Their strength is very impressive) and three hundred cavalry (all Guan Ning heavy cavalry wearing iron armor, two layers of cotton armor, and Mongolian horses under their hips) to assist in the battle, in order to kill Jia Liu, a flea jumping happily on their backs. Take it and prevent it from becoming a hindrance to the army's counter-insurgency operations. You know, although the actions of Jia Liu and others in recent days have not had much impact on the army, they have really disgusted the top brass of the Ming army. After all, no one wants to have their own messengers, scouts, etc. It was because he disappeared inexplicably while on a mission, and the grain and grass he transported was always burned in the middle of the road.
Therefore, this time, at the suggestion of the commander of the counter-rebellion army and the report from the governors of the three sides, the bandit suppression operation deployed by the Ministry of War was carried out naturally near a little-known small village on the border of Liangxiang, North Zhili. Of course, this bandit suppression operation involving nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses is not only targeting Jia Liu's group, but the number of Jia Liu's group is at the bottom among many rebels, and it is particularly annoying. I hate it, so the unlucky Jia Liu and his gang were the first to be tricked.
First, the artillery bombarded the village, causing smoke and dust to fly everywhere in the village, and bricks and stones flying everywhere. Then the phalanx infantry advanced, armed with long spears and halberds, with murderous intent. On the side, there were hard bows and muskets for cover. They only had iron knives, and Jia Liu and his group were inferior to bows. Never had I seen such a battle before. In just one hour, the Jia Liu Revenge Regiment, which once stretched across several counties in Northern Zhili, was defeated by the government troops advancing layer by layer like a sea wave, and was compressed to the center of the village. A three-entry house with a brick wall.
"Bang bang bang..." However, the officers and soldiers were obviously not ready to let go of these daring thieves. Thirty pioneer warriors wearing cotton armor with rattan shields hanging on their arms braved the sparse arrows to carry them. The door hammer, which weighed more than a hundred kilograms, screamed and rushed towards the Sanjin Mansion where the guards were last guarding. They didn't want their credit to be wasted again. You know, their general has offered a reward of five taels of silver for the head of a bandit, and if the bandit leader is caught, it will be even more serious. An ordinary soldier will be directly promoted to the flag officer, an officer with a job Then he could be promoted to three levels in a row, not to mention that he still had five hundred taels of silver to get. These hard-working soldiers who could only get one month's military pay a year couldn't help but go crazy about it. In their eyes, the heads on the heads of these thieves are real money. If they don't take it, they will be punished by God. Besides, behind them are the general's personal soldiers holding the gleaming ghost-head sword. If the supervising team does not want to have their heads cut off, they must fight bravely to defeat the enemy and seize the enemy's guarded courtyard as soon as possible.
For half an hour, Jia Liu and his group, knowing that they would definitely die if the army came in, barely resisted for another half an hour. In the end, because they were too few in number and they ran out of arrows, they were attacked by the elite elite of the army. Immediately afterwards, while the guards were entangled by the selected strikers, more officers and soldiers jumped into the courtyard through ladders and began to kill the crowd. They were about to completely occupy the first entrance to the house.
"Brothers, if you kill one, you will earn money, if you kill two, you will gain. The dog officers and soldiers killed our family members and burned our village. Today we will fight with them!" I heard the sound of waist knives and spears piercing the human body. With the sound of "Puff" and the screams of people who were seriously injured, Jia Liu, who had been commanding his men to fight with the army, finally broke out. He knew very well that his group could not escape the word "death" today. , attacking and killing the officers and soldiers' sentries, and burning the officers and soldiers' food and grass. Speaking of which, each of them is a serious crime of beheading, and the two together are even more serious. No matter what, they can't escape the fate of being executed late, let alone the officers and soldiers. The commander-in-chief also offered a very high reward, five taels of silver for beheading a rebel traitor. It was impossible for these Qiu Ba uncles not to fight tooth and nail for it!
Therefore, Jia Liu's men, who had figured this out, were no longer merciless. He chopped, shaved, and lifted the thorns and collapsed the belt. He used a stolen military waist knife to make a fierce force, forcing all the soldiers to retreat. , However, this was of no use, because there were too many officers and soldiers. Even if he stood there and chopped him down, he would not be able to kill a few with his own strength. And when the officers and soldiers recovered, they would There is no need to fight hand-to-hand with him, just one stab with a spear and a spurge can instantly turn him, the bandit leader, into the sugar-coated haws of sugar that everyone in Beijing loves!
Therefore, after cutting down a few officers and soldiers in fat coats and forcing back more officers and soldiers who were ready to move, Jia Liu, who was exhausted and at the end of his strength, slowly took out the knife full of holes in his hand. The knife was placed across his neck. He was preparing to kill himself. After all, so many things had happened. In the end, someone had to carry it. If his death could help his brothers survive safely, then he would also Even if he died a worthy death.
However, what happened next shocked everyone's jaws, including Jia Liu, who was about to commit suicide, and his men who still resisted tenaciously! Because around them, a thick and thick white mist suddenly appeared for no reason, and this sudden white mist continued to spread. In just a moment, the first courtyard was completely filled. And after half a quarter of an hour, the white fog that appeared without warning dissipated without warning. Only then did the Ming army soldiers who came back to their senses were shocked to find that the enemy in front of them was the one who had caused them trouble for more than half a year. The Jia Liu Gang evaporated out of thin air, leaving not even a trace in the courtyard, as if they had never existed at all.
"Tunnel, the thieves must have dug an escape tunnel here! I'll look for it carefully. Even if I turn this place upside down, I still have to find those thieves!" Then, the officers and soldiers couldn't believe it. He wiped his eyes hard again, but still couldn't find a thief. He immediately panicked. The leader of the team immediately sent someone to report the strange situation to his superiors, but the soldier who sent the message had not yet Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped three or four times by Qian Huguan. It was a joke. A dozen or twenty living people just disappeared out of thin air. Do you dare to be more ridiculous? Do you really think that adults only know how to drink? Listen to the wine bag and rice bag of the girl who went to the brothel to play! Besides, this bandit suppression operation was deployed for three to four months and involved as many as seven or eight thousand troops. How could it end in such an anticlimactic manner? Not to mention that Jia Liu and his group were all injured and could not escape at the moment. Wherever they go, even if they grow wings and turn into dexterous birds in the sky to escape from here, the army will mobilize Guan Ning's cavalry to pursue them. After all, they spent so much money and so much thought to lay out the plan. In such a situation, how could Jia Liu and others be allowed to escape from them so easily!
However, as the saying goes, "Man's calculations are worse than God's calculations." Although the officers and soldiers have exhausted all their agencies this time, they are destined to return empty-handed! Because the people they are looking for, Jia Liu and others, are no longer in the village at this moment, or it can be said that they are no longer even in this world, so even if the officers and soldiers turn this small village upside down, they will never find Sudden Sudden. The missing Jia Liu and his group. And Jia Liu and others, who they couldn't find, didn't know until they arrived in another world that Bai Wu, who suddenly appeared that day and saved them and others, turned out to be a magical power created by a great god called "System" (who knows how the system works? He brainwashed immigrants from other worlds and actually made people call himself the master of the system. He was really lazy.) Of course, this great god did not save his group of people on a whim or at any cost. In the final analysis, he wanted his group of people to obey his wishes and give up their original simple life of fighting and killing, and turn to worship. A stranger is the main character, assisting him to live, build and fight in a completely unfamiliar place! In short, it is to add a mother-in-law to take care of things above the heads of my group, so that they can no longer run around like wild horses.
At this thought, even though he was still in danger, Jia Liu couldn't help but smile knowingly. Although his group did not come to this world voluntarily, the current leader, Mr. Kang Linkang, really did not treat people like him. Bo, a monthly payment of 20 taels of silver, 2 shi (made in the Ming Dynasty, one shi is about sixty kilograms) of coarse grain rice, and cloth rewards from time to time (after the recruits have made meritorious service, Kanglin will pass the military management Yan Si, Yan Xiaosong, who was in charge of civil affairs, awarded a piece of cloth and two pieces of silver as a reward. Usually, if you complete a combat operation or construction operation, you will get half a piece of cloth as a reward), but not everyone has this magnanimity. I think I am a deserter. Bandits are like pigs and dogs. In the past, even if they guarded a broken village and farmed the mountains, their money and food in one hand was not as much as it is now. Sometimes they would not be able to cover their expenses. But now it is better, they don’t have to do anything. Just by obeying the leader's orders, you can get such benefits. This gives Jia Liu no reason not to work hard for his new leader!
Therefore, when the fleet needed to conduct outpost reconnaissance on Gejia Island, Jia Liu took the initiative to find Yan Si, the fleet's painting officer, and Fan Hu, the team manager, in order to prove that his group was worthy of the salary given by the leader. The vanguard of the team conducts outpost reconnaissance on the unfamiliar Gejia Island! In their eyes, their group of people are all fierce bandits who have fought with the regular army for a long time. They are all skilled with swords and horses. Even if there are some indigenous savages on the island who drink raw hair and drink blood, they can kill them with one blow if they encounter them. What danger would there be? That's why he dared to be so confident and dispatched only a dozen people to go deep into the island to investigate the situation.
