Chapter 319 Hanzhong Situation II
After one round of shooting, Jiang Desan took advantage of the panic stall of the bandits to turn his horse's heads and retreated one after another.
The pioneer Qu Zhuo marched about three miles. When Jiang Desan and others rushed back to the location of the large army, the originally scattered guard regiment had already gathered and arranged in an array.
Seeing Jiang Desan and others coming back, the queue dodged two roads and put them in, and in an instant, they closed their battle again.
Liu Ximing had also reached the rear of the array. When Jiang Desan came back, he immediately asked him to come and talk.
"The brigade commander should be a bandit in Daba Mountain. The number is about 400 people, the weapons are messy and there is no long-range firepower."
Jiang Desan gasped slightly while reporting the results of his observation.
When Liu Ximing heard this, he felt relieved, as long as it was not a large number of thieves like Zhang Xianzhong.
The intersection of the mountain stream suddenly fell into silence. Except for the rear team responsible for defending the rear, the Longxiong Brigade looked at the mountain pass in front with all concentration.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, a figure suddenly appeared at the mountain pass.
Dozens of men in gray-brown ragged shirts ran over from the corner of the mountain pass in a fierce manner, but were suddenly scared by the Longxiong Brigade, which was waiting for the battle behind the mountain pass.
Before they could react, Liu Xi ordered an order.
"Slowly move forward"
“One, one, one, two"
The sound of the footsteps of the Longxiong Journey walking on the ground made the bandits in front of them a little horrified. The people running in front were already quietly trying to retreat.
But at this time the bandits also followed. With the crowds of people, Yamaguchi was a little confused.
The place where the Longxiong Brigade array was only more than seventy steps away from the mountain pass. In just a few minutes, the distance was narrowed to about fifty steps.
At this time, the bandit leader Wang Tota had not yet run from the back team to the front.
A sharp flashed in Liu Ximing's eyes, "Stand firm, prepare to shoot."
The footsteps of "sweeping" sounded, and the slowly moving Longxiongjou stopped like a monster, and bursts of dust collapsed.
"shooting"
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"
The storm brought by the steel projectile instantly covered the bandits at the pass. At such a close distance, it was almost impossible for the second style of Longxiong to go astray.
The more than 100 people who had emerged were all knocked down to the ground in an instant. Wang Tota and others, who were still on the back of the mountain, watched helplessly as more than 100 people at the pass fell to the ground in a burst of loud noises, and the remaining people collapsed instantly.
"Mom"
"Wori's a coward, run away"
Hearing the howling of ghosts and wolves, the dragon soared and still kept on his throne and was still only concerned about reloading.
"Lobster soldiers are sincere and don't deceive me."
Liu Ximing's headless sigh made Shao Derong, Li Biao and others a little confused.
Longxiong Brigade has already explored the musket tactics for many battles. The effective shooting distance of the second style of Longxiong is fixed, and it is placed at fifty steps.
Only by shooting inside can you ensure the maximum hit rate, which is not well-known.
Liu Ximing looked at Shao Derong and smiled at him, "Have you told you about world geography before?"
"The British Kingdom, which is gradually rising, can withstand several rounds of enemy shooting, advance to about fifty steps and then shoot back. As the head of the Longxiong Brigade, do you think we can do it?"
Shao Derong was choked all of a sudden, and he didn't dare to promise such a thing.
"Continue to advance and chase and suppress the enemy."
Liu Xi ordered an order to issue a brigade.
While following the team forward, he said to Shao Derong with some sigh.
"It's not difficult to win, but it's rare to win. We have been promoted from the team to the brigade, and there are dozens of battles in between. No matter how many times we are, we are not as trembling as we are on thin ice. If there is a little problem, we will not be as good as we are today."
"So, you generals and officials should spend more time on team training. In the future, we will have more and more people. Once there are more people, it will be difficult to lead the team. Not only do you need to work hard to unify your thinking, but you must make the entire team able to fight tough battles and dare to fight tough battles."
"Don't worry, second brother, I know." Shao Derong answered quickly.
While speaking, Longxiong Bud had already rushed out of the bend in front of the mountain pass.
The bandits who came to rob were already dispersed after being bombarded by their next few rounds of bombardment. Seeing this, Liu Ximing immediately asked the Longxiang Brigade to withdraw its troops and keep alert and no longer pursue them.
"I didn't expect that there were even bandits here, and the situation in Hanzhong was not optimistic."
Su Jin waited until the team settled down before getting off the carriage. The first sentence he said to Liu Ximing when he met Liu Ximing.
He ordered Liu Xi to gesture forward, "There is Dingjun Mountain ahead. When you go out, you will arrive in Mian County. This place has always been a major transportation route. If it weren't for something, there would definitely be large soldiers stationed. The bandits are so arrogant that Hanzhongwei can no longer control the place."
Du Liangji, Zhao Xiangyang and others also came over at this time. Everyone felt a little heavy when they heard Su Jin's words.
More than a hundred corpses were placed in front of them, and they could not believe it, and Hanzhong was in chaos.
"Do you know why the goods from Shaanxi can't be in, right?" Xie Wenle sighed at Liu Ximing.
If it is said that Hanzhong is corrupt, the most damaged of these people is their Xie family.
The Xie family has been operating Baoning Mansion for so many years and has already owned multiple fixed trade routes, but now that the war is in chaos, these trade routes are also half-broken.
Previously, the Liu family wanted to acquire cotton from Shaanxi through the Xie family, but they could only receive a few hundred stones, which was really miserable.
The Xie family is not as stupid as Liu Ximing, and they only know how to throw money on Longxiang Camp like it is like throwing it into water.
They thought they had an official body to protect their bodies, which was the greatest martial ethics in the world, so they didn’t need to raise their own soldiers.
Of course, there is no problem with this in the ordinary years, but at this moment, it is obvious that Liu Ximing's tricks are better.
What made everyone speechless was that although everyone had already predicted the chaos in Hanzhong, they obviously underestimated the extent of the chaos.
Until such a dozen miles of mountain road before Dingjun Mountain, the group encountered three waves of bandits who were blindly blind to come to block the road and rob, and of course they were all defeated by Longxiong's brigade without any effort.
What made Shao Derong, Li Biao and others a little angry was that these bandits were as poor as ghosts and did not even have any spoils.
According to their words, this is a bit too shocking.
It was almost evening when the Liu family's large group of troops walked out of the Daba Mountains and crossed Yangping Pass and officially entered the Hanzhong Plain.
As soon as they walked out of the forest, the scholars felt that their minds suddenly became widespread. It was too depressing to walk in the mountains for a long time.
Perhaps more than a thousand people were too busy. When they arrived at Mian County, they found that although the curfew time was not yet reached, the city gate was closed tightly.
Liu Ximing looked at the city head through a telescope. The city wall of Mian County was only about two meters high, and the facade of the city wall was bumpy. The broken city wall was covered with messy soldiers and strong men.
Except for dozens of people wearing blue battle robes, the rest were temporarily pulled to make up for the numbers, each wearing plain short brown, with a nervous look on his face.
"We are a merchant in Sichuan, and we have all the information on road guides. Please let us enter the city."
Guide Shi Erwa ran to the city wall and shouted in fear under the escort of two Longxiong Brigade soldiers.
There was a commotion on the top of the city wall, and a basket was put down. Shi Erwa quickly stepped forward and handed over the documents he brought.
Liu Ximing clearly saw the expressions of the soldiers on the city wall relaxed a lot.
However, after a while, a man who looked like a little military officer shouted loudly downwards.
"It's getting late, and the county magistrate has an order, so you can't let it go. Just wait and spend the night outside the city gate."
"Damn it," Li Biao was a little angry when he heard this, and blew the whip in the air.
Shi Erwa turned around and laughed and said, "Don't calm down. There are only a few thousand people in Mian County now. They are really afraid of us."
Shao Derong also smiled at Li Biao and said, "It is worth worrying about us so many people. If we really put us in this way, I am afraid that the county town will be destroyed long ago."
When Liu Ximing heard the person in front of him come back to report, he understood this very well and directly ordered to camp around the east side of the county town.
Seeing that these people outside the city were stationed obediently outside the city, the people in Mian County finally felt completely relieved.
With Liu Ximing, the transportation captain, there is actually not much difference between staying in the city and setting up camp outside the city.
Not only are there all kinds of tents, Longxiang Brigade even opened a barbecue party outside the city.
The peppers in Liu Ximing's space have been harvested, and the people in Liujia Village who have tasted the taste can't leave this thing.
