The sound of a cannon is better than a thunderbolt from the blue.
Following Wang Lun's order, a warship appeared from the mist on the water, with four red cannons on it aimed at the Huyanzhuo's chain of horse formations on the shore.
Li Jun, the leader of the Liang Shanshui Army, sat on the Hunjiang Dragon and issued orders. The first round of four shells hit the chain of horse formations.
Xilulu~
The sound of the cannons made the horses neigh, and the explosion of the shells injured seven or eight of the horses. The fallen horses pulled the other horses down, and the panicked horses even overturned the cavalry.
"put!"
The second round of four shells passed by and knocked down three more rows of horses. The horses behind them trampled directly on the horses in front, causing a serious stampede.
By the time the third round of four shells had passed, Hu Yanzhuo's horse formation was in chaos. Not many horses were directly killed by the shells, but the trampling of the horses behind them caused greater casualties.
"Stop the attack and straighten your horses!"
Hu Yanzhuo's heart was bleeding. My chain horse was his treasure every time he fought, and it was immediately maimed.
If the cavalry can restrain the infantry, then the artillery can restrain the cavalry. However, if it is an ordinary light cavalry, the red artillery has limited accuracy and may not be able to hit it. However, General Hu Yanzhuo's three thousand cavalry army just happened to have iron chain linkers, so they charged
Come.
The target was huge. Even if Li Jun had no experience in using artillery, the target was so big that it would be difficult not to succeed.
"Coach Lin, it's your turn, kill me!"
Wang Lun saw that the chain of horse formations had been broken and Hu Yanzhuo's army's battle formation was in chaos, so he quickly asked Li Jun to stop. In just a moment, half of the cannonballs were gone.
"promise!"
"The horse army listens to the order, follow me to charge and kill, enter!"
Lin Chong took the order and led an army of 300 horses to rush over. He entangled Hu Yanzhuo himself, and other cavalry attacked the panicked Hu Yanzhuo soldiers.
"Wu Song is here! Kill!"
"Grandpa Li Kui is here! Kill him!"
Taking advantage of Hu Yanzhuo's horse army being panicked and unable to escape, infantry leaders such as Han Qinhu, Wu Song, Li Kui, Liu Tang and others also charged over with their infantry.
"Hurry up and rescue General Huyan, rush!"
Yum General Han Tao led the army behind. Seeing that Hu Yanzhuo's army was under siege, he quickly led his troops to rescue him.
"Forget it, don't worry, just blow it up for me!"
Wang Lun thought for a while, and if the old ones are not gone, the new ones will not come. In order to reduce the casualties of his subordinates, he continued to let Li Jun fire.
Phew~
Four artillery shells exploded at the regiment drills led by Yum Victorious General Han Tao, which frightened the regiment drills.
"Come down here!"
Han Qinhu had already put on his war horse and attacked Han Tao with two golden hammers with drums and urns in his hands. After fighting for ten rounds, he captured Han Tao alive.
"Kill~"
Huang Gai waved a steel whip and led the navy off the ship, landed on the shore to fight, and led a thousand navy to kill Ben Huyanzhuo's army.
Li Jun, Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Tong Wei, Tong Meng and other navy leaders also took the lead bravely.
"General, our army has been defeated. Han Tuanlian has been captured alive, retreat quickly!"
"General, retreat quickly!"
Hu Yanzhuo's personal guards quickly advised Hu Yanzhuo to withdraw quickly, otherwise our entire army will really be annihilated.
"My serial horse army! Wang Lun, just wait for me, I will definitely come back to kill you!"
Hu Yanzhuo wailed, used two whips to protect himself, abandoned Lin Chong, hit his horse and fled, and immediately asked for help from the capital after returning.
"Charge the whole army, don't let Hu Yanzhuo get away~"
Wang Lun ordered the entire army to cover up and kill everyone, and won a complete victory.
Hu Yanzhuo fled back with only a dozen personal guards.
"Oh~"
"Hahaha~"
"We won~"
The leaders of Liangshan laughed heartily and were full of hope for the future. All the imperial soldiers and horses were defeated by us.
The village leader’s goal may not be that far away!
This time, he defeated the famous general Hu Yanzhuo and defeated the elite cavalry army. This achievement is not comparable to that of other local regiment training cavalry.
As soon as the news spread, Liangshan's reputation rose to a higher level.
Wang Lun had previously issued an order not to allow looting around Liangshan, and he also protected passing merchants and did not offend the surrounding people. Therefore, Liangshan's reputation has gradually improved.
Some farmers around Liangshan who were severely exploited by the government, some people in Jeju City who were in ruins, and some people from the Jianghu came to seek refuge with Wang Lun.
Cangzhou Xiaoxuanfeng Chai Jin also recommended many people from the Jianghu to Liangshan. Although there were no powerful people among them, there were many elite soldiers among them.
The number of minions directly increased by more than a thousand.
"Han Tao meets the leader of the village."
Yum general Han Tao was captured alive by Han Qinhu. After going to Liangshan, Peng Qi, the Tianmu general, appeared to speak out. Wang Lunzai personally released his bonds and recruited him, so he returned to Liangshan smoothly.
Because they were demoted generals, they ranked last, but Wang Lun still placed great emphasis on Han Tao and Peng Qi, who commanded more troops than many leaders.
"Ding dong... Congratulations to the host for subduing Han Tao, the Yum Victorious General. He has gained 1 ray of Earthly Loyalty and currently has 2 strands of Earthly Loyalty." the system said.
After Han Tao and Peng Qi surrendered, more than 1,200 people under their command returned to Liangshan. At present, Liangshan has a total of more than 4,500 Mabu navy troops.
They also seized a lot of armor, war horses, baggage, and equipment from Hu Yanzhuo's army.
Now Liangshan has a total of twenty-nine leaders, with about a thousand cavalry, more than two thousand infantry, and more than fifteen hundred naval forces under his command. It is becoming more and more prosperous, and it is already a large village.
"It seems that Cai Jiu has no status with Cai Jing. He doesn't care about his life or death?"
Wang Lun handled the affairs of Liangshan and called Gongsun Sheng, Wu Yong, and Huang Wenbing to discuss how to deal with Cai Jiu. He couldn't live in the mountains in vain.
"Cai Jing has eight elder brothers above him. Except for the second brother who died young, all of them are bachelors in the court, officials in Zhao Guan's family, or ministers of various ministries. Even Cai Jing's grandson is already a bachelor, but Cai Jing is the only one who is a bachelor.
Jiu was not reused and was appointed magistrate in Jiangzhou."
Huang Wenbing knew Cai Jiu's situation better and quickly explained it to Wang Lun first.
"But Jiangzhou is rich. After all, Cai Jiu is also Cai Jing's son. We may be able to trade with Cai Jing." Wu Yong and Huang Wenbing didn't get along well, so he quickly added, fearing that Huang Wenbing would steal the limelight.
"Captain of the village, I see that Hu Yanzhuo, who was our enemy in Liangshan before, is a tiger general. He is the queen of the generals, and he is in charge of the capital of Runing County. If we in Liangshan get this person to join our army, our prestige will be even greater. We can take this
Someone made a deal with Cai Jing and forced him to go to Liangshan."
Huang Wenbing wanted to be the number one counselor in Liangshan, so he worked very hard to perform. He was good at observing people's emotions and naturally found that Wang Lun had a love for Hu Yanzhuo.
"Brother, leave this matter to me and I will make sure that Hu Yanzhuo goes to Liangshan to join the gang."
Wu Yong glanced at Huang Wenbing, this person was nothing, and he must not be allowed to steal the limelight.
"No need, Hu Yanzhuo is destined to Liangshan. Such a good general should be defeated on the battlefield and let him return to his heart completely. There is no need for those small tricks, but Cai Jiu, this fat pig, should be sold."
"Huang Wenbing, please write a letter. Wu Yong will be responsible for reviewing it and have Dai Zong send it to the Taishi Mansion as soon as possible. Let Cai Jing give 100,000 gold and silver jewels and 10,000 war horses in exchange for his son Cai Jiu, otherwise we will pull Cai Jiu
Jiu joined Liangshan and attacked the capital in the name of Cai Jing."
"By the way, let Dai Zong pay attention to his safety and don't be detained by Cai Jing."
Wang Lun didn't want to keep Cai Jiu for the New Year, so he tried his best to get some books from Cai Jing.
"Yes, village leader. One hundred thousand gold and silver jewels, there must be no problem. But with ten thousand war horses, I'm afraid Cai Jing won't agree to such a big movement."
Huang Wenbing responded and immediately started writing. Although one hundred thousand gold, silver and jewels was already a huge sum of money, Cai Jing could definitely get it. For a powerful official like Cai Jing, it was just a filial birthday gift from his son-in-law every year.
But with ten thousand war horses, that would be difficult. Whether there are that many war horses in the capital is a problem.
Wu Yong glanced at Wang Lun and immediately retorted: "Huang Tongpan doesn't understand. As the saying goes, he asked for a high price and paid the money on the spot. We only need Cai Jing to give 3,000 horses in exchange for Cai Jiu, and we will make a profit."
We, Liangshan, cannot afford to raise 10,000 war horses for the time being."
"Go do it!"
Wang Lun nodded. The bottom line was three thousand war horses. If he could have five thousand war horses, it would be a big profit.
