Although Lu Haoshan disliked Dong Jian very much, he was just targeting him and had no objection to other soldiers. Seeing that these soldiers died so miserably, Lu Haoshan felt that he needed to find some to vent his emotions, not only himself, but also his subordinates also needed to find a gap to vent his emotions.

Zijinliang, Li Zicheng and others have returned to Shunde, and the Zhending area continues to wander. Lu Haoshan, who was ordered to assist Fenzhou and Pingyang, had no choice but to ask Dong Jian to apply to Shangguan to continue the battle in depth. Before he received a reply, the king of troubled times who had been living in Pingyang Mansion became Lu Haoshan's primary goal of eliminating it.

It’s okay to kill and loot, but they even commit atrocities, and they don’t let the dead go. They are not rioting, but pure beasts, who enjoy slaughtering people. These people stay in the world for one more day, and I don’t know how many people will be harmed.

With the order of Lu Haoshan, the scout team immediately took action and began to inquire about the whereabouts of the King of Troubled Times.

Under Lu Haoshan's management, all scouts were equipped with a healthy horse, telescope and carrier pigeons. They came and went like the wind, and they were smart and capable. Soon, news about the King of Troubled Times began to flow back to Lu Haoshan. On December 28, Lu Haoshan finally confirmed that the King of Troubled Times and his subordinates were in Wangniu Mountain, more than 40 miles west of Jixian County, Pingyang Prefecture, where it was close to Shaanxi, and it was probably convenient to escape.

This is very consistent with these people's habits. They like to wander around the border and can flee within different jurisdictions if necessary, because in this way, it is difficult for the officers and soldiers who pursue them to cross the border without authorization, which gives them a lot of room for detour.

There are many people and big targets. In fact, it is not difficult to find the traces of these people. The difficulty lies in how to dispatch troops and how to send the information back to the head of the person in charge in time. Because these refugees fired a shot and changed the place. Sometimes when the gathered team arrived, they would have run away without a trace, and a large group of people surrounded and suppressed them. They went up into the deep mountains and old forests, so that the cavalry could not be deployed and the infantry was exhausted. However, he ran to other counties or provinces. Sometimes he was almost catching up, but ended up in failure due to the sphere of influence.

And the team is not their opponent. In this way, the peasant uprising will grow stronger and stronger. The emergence of the governors of three provinces and the governors of five provinces in the Ming Dynasty was born, of course. These are later stories.

However, it is an exception for Lu Haoshan. All the elites under his command can run up the mountain, swim down the river, ride on horseback, have strict rules and quick actions, and are also equipped with flying pigeons to send letters to the destination as soon as possible.

Upon receiving the news, Lu Haoshan led his team to Renji County without saying a word. On the night of the 28th, Lu Haoshan had already led his troops to quietly approach this group of lawless mobs.

"Sir" A scout named Zhang Rui saw Lu Haoshan coming and hurried forward to salute.

Zhang Rui is a captain of the scout team under Lu Haoshan. This time he found the trace of this king in troubled times. Then he kept secretly reporting the information to Lu Haoshan. This was a hero. Lu Haoshan patted his shoulder and said, "I did a good job. I want to remember you for some merit. Where are those beasts?"

"Sir, they are slaughtering pigs and sheep under the mountain. It seems that they are ready to have a good meal, sir, look." Zhang Rui knew that the beast Lu Haoshan was talking about was not referring to animals, but the chaotic king who caused the tragic tragedy of great wealth.

Lu Haoshan picked up the telescope and looked down. Yes, a group of people set up tents at the foot of the mountain, and piled up several bonfires. Some were killing cattle and sheep, and then many people gathered together, and some were holding silver or something in their hands, so they should be gambling.

This little life is pretty good, with food, drink and play. No wonder those people like to follow the rebellion so much, and they are not afraid of taking the risk of beheading.

The person who is in trouble is pitiful because he does not know when he can get out of trouble; the person who is in despair is terrible because he will become useless when he is out of his way and do something crazy.

Lu Haoshan was watching, and Zhang Rui, who was standing beside him, took the initiative to report: "Sir, this group of thieves has a total of 157 people, thirty-two horses, sixty bows, long swords and spears. The little one observed secretly for a long time. The man wearing a green leather case and tall has the highest status. He should be the king of troubled times."

More than one hundred people were considered a very small mob. People like Zhang Xianqiu and Zi Jinliang had tens of thousands of people in their hands. No wonder they didn't take action in Shunde, Zhending and other places. It seems that he knew himself and only dared to wander around in these places.

"Is there any information about this king in troubled times?" Lu Haoshan suddenly asked.

Li Dingguo, who was standing beside him, said, "Sir, I have heard of this king of troubled times. He is a boxer in Hanzhong Prefecture, Shaanxi. He makes a living by selling his skills and teaching disciples. Because he couldn't stand it, he beat an official who teased a good woman and was wanted. He was angry and pulled someone back. He only knew that he was called the king of troubled times, and he didn't know what his real name was."

A native of Hanzhong, Shaanxi?

Sun Xiong tightly squeezed the weapon in his hand and said excitedly: "Sir, no matter how many, they are only more than 100 people, and we have 800 people. Where can we kill all these scumbags with just one charge."

"Yes, sir, order."

"These more than a hundred people will probably kill them all in one round of muskets and one round of archery. It's good to wipe them out for the New Year. In this way, the court will not reward them, and the local government and the gentry will also go to the Tao."

Someone started, and the rest of them asked for battle. When they saw or heard about the destruction of the Dafu Pei family, they were all very angry and asked to go and suppress them.

On the battlefield, when fighting, you need to be strategies and brave. When encountering difficult opponents, you should use Sun Tzu's art of war to be prepared to attack and defend, and set up defense projects in the camps and villages. However, when dealing with these people who have just washed their feet and went to the fields, just rush up and chop, because Lu Haoshan has an overwhelming advantage in terms of the number of personnel, personal qualities, equipment, morale, etc.

This is called one force to reduce ten goals.

Lu Haoshan's face was a little hesitant and said strangely: "It's strange."

"Sir, what's so strange?" Sun Xiong asked strangely.

"These people are of different sizes and have strong mobility. The number of people is probably not clear about those leaders. But the question is, why are there no elderly, weak, sick, disabled, or women and children among the people of this troubled king?" Lu Haoshan asked with a strange look.

The peasant uprising is not a military camp recruitment. As long as you can move, you can follow if you want to have a bite of dry food. Some people are worried about their families and join the teams, and those leaders have no choice. In fact, they also hope that these old, young, women and children can join, and they can do some miscellaneous work and logistics work in daily life. If necessary, they become cannon fodder or help the team escape as a strong man in the team. However, it is strange that they are known as the king of troubled times.

All of them are strong men.

Zhao Gongchang also discovered this situation. He hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Sir, will they treat the old, young, women and children as abandoned children when they are chased by the officers and soldiers?"

There is also this possibility. Lu Haoshan thought about it and ordered: "Li Dingguo, Sun Xiong, Dashan obeyed the order."

"The little one is here." The three of them responded while saluting.

"The terrain below is like a canyon. Sun Xiong and Dashan led 200 people to attack from the left, and Dingguo led 200 people to attack from the right, attacking left and right. First, use muskets and bows to attack the most, and give these beasts the greatest damage. By the way, that king of troubled times. Catch the alive for me."

The three of them agreed in unison, and then they picked up some people to prepare for the mission.

After the three of them left, Lu Haoshan asked Zhao Gongchang to lead people to the side to prevent any fish that missed the net. Lu Haoshan sat on the hillside and was standing tall to prepare for the show.

The desolate terrain and the vast night give the king of troubled times a great sense of security. With their experience, the government army is very motivated every time they are dispatched. They are afraid of being attacked by sneak attacks and like to fight during the day and rarely go out at night, so they all look very relaxed. Even the people who are responsible for keeping watch seem careless and careless. In their subconscious, they think that the officers and soldiers are also busy with the New Year.

A middle-aged man who was silenced a few times in his chest, and fell into a pool of blood with fear. Two chattering men suddenly collapsed one after another, one of them was shot in the chest and the other was shot through the forehead. The two fell down like this. Lu Haoshan looked in the telescope and saw that he had the money and energy he paid for. As expected, the previous training was not in vain, and the money and energy he invested in them were not in vain.

The two teams of people who were putting down the watchtower began to slowly approach the camp of the King of Troubled Times. When those people found something wrong, Li Dingguo, Sun Xiong and others were less than sixty feet away from them.

Seeing that the enemy had noticed his whereabouts, Li Dingguo raised the iron spear in his hand and said loudly: "Brothers, kill."

At the same time, Sun Xiong shook the hammer in his hand and shouted loudly: "Kill!"

With a command, a group of soldiers rushed over to the sky. On the mountain, you can see that the two teams rushed towards the camp at the foot of the mountain like two torrents. The people who were still gambling just now were awake and hurriedly picked up and prepared to resist. Under the reflection of the fire, there were panicked faces: they never dreamed that at this time, officers and soldiers appeared. When they found out, they all rushed to the front.

Sixty feet and about four hundred steps, the infantry took some time, but it didn't take half a quarter of an hour to attack the cavalry. Four hundred cavalry charged at the same time, and the momentum was like tens of thousands of people charging. The sound of horse hooves and the sound of killing seemed to shake the canyon.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang"

"Swoosh"

When there were about a hundred steps left, the soldiers on the horse's back began to set fire guns and shoot arrows. Riding and shooting are the items Lu Haoshan focused on training. Riding and shooting is not only archery, but also muskets. The order is to set fire guns first and then archery, because the musket range is long, but loading is troublesome. It is difficult to complete the loading process on the bumpy horse's back. It has to be said that when the impact bullet was developed in the secret workshop, bows and arrows were the king in terms of riding and shooting, because the musket was fired with one shot.

It is a bit of a slight leap to deal with the Later Jin cavalry, but it is already a waste of talent to deal with these mobs.

Mobs fell down one by one. They did not have the quality and discipline of soldiers. When they saw the danger came, they did not think of resisting, but how to escape. Although there were small leaders who tried their best to urge them, it did not work. Lu Haoshan's army rushed in front of them, but they could not organize mandatory defense or breakout.

The tent fell down, the fat sheep on the rack fell to the ground, the soup pot on the rack flipped on the ground, and as the soldiers slashed the spear, the mobs screamed and fell into a pool of blood. The court is now mainly focused on suppression, and Lu Haoshan has few troops and has no intention of captives. If it is difficult for women and children to attack, they are all strong men and still have no blood beasts, so they will naturally not show mercy to them.

Lu Haoshan sighed softly, put down the telescope in his hand, turned his head and said to Tang Qiang: "Okay, let's go down."

With an overwhelming advantage, the one-way massacre, there is no suspense at all, and Lu Haoshan is too lazy to watch it.

The main purpose of this battle is to examine the training results of the soldiers under his command. In terms of action, the effect is pretty good. The lethality on riding and shooting is quite impressive. One round of muskets and one round of sharp arrows, and most of the mobs in the canyon have fallen. I just don’t know if that king of the troubled times is fine.

If he is shot or killed by arrow, it is his luck.

From the attack to the decision to Lu Haoshan to go down the mountain, the whole process was less than a quarter of an hour, and the overall situation was decided. This was Lu Haoshan's first battle into Jin. It was not bad, and he won the first battle.

Tang Qiang responded and surrounded Lu Haoshan with several old brothers from the private guards, protecting him down the mountain. (To be continued...)
