Chapter 674: Wisdom and Courage! The Witch Tang Saier!
Liu Sheng was a little disdainful.
After all, the Shenji Battalion he is in charge of is considered the top ace warrior of the Ming Dynasty!
As a result, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly issued an edict, ordering him to lead the elite of the Shenji Battalion to rush to Shandong immediately to exterminate the rebellious White Lotus Sect monsters!
Brother, this is the Shenji Camp!
Do all the cats and dogs need my help from the Shenji Camp now?
Isn’t this killing a chicken with a knife?
However, when Liu Sheng read the secret letter sent to him by Prince Zhu Gaoxu, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
Gao Feng, the commander of the Qingzhou Guard, died tragically at the hands of a demon from the White Lotus Sect, and was defeated majestically on the battlefield!
Then the meaning is completely different!
The Qingzhou Guard has a strength of 5,600 people. Its officers are called commanders, or commanders for short, and are of the third rank.
But General Gao Feng, a third-grade general, "relied on being good at fighting and was careless." When he heard that the demon girl Tang Sai'er was occupying the unloading stone shed to cause trouble, he ordered three thousand men and horses, played three drums at night, and rushed forward as a vanguard. ...but unknowingly got into an ambush.
The entire army was wiped out in one battle!
This is the elimination of the "established system"!
Thousands of troops, including the general, were reduced to nothing in an instant!
Facts have proved that the witch Tang Saier is really quite capable.
Therefore, Liu Sheng put away his contempt and regarded him as an equally matched opponent.
After all, he, Anyuanhou, was a famous general who had been fighting for a lifetime. How could he be like that idiot Gao Feng, who thought too highly of himself and ended up affecting the three armies.
By the time Liu Sheng arrived in Qingzhou, Shandong, the White Lotus Army of the demon girl Tang Saier had already retreated hastily. They were beaten by the furious Ming soldiers and were forced to abandon the city and retreat to their base.
Liu Zhong, the commander of the Shandong Capital Division, was naturally not stupid. After he learned that Gao Feng had been killed by Tang Saier and took control of Qingzhou, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately mobilized an army to kill him.
The situation in Shandong has deteriorated to this point, and His Majesty the Emperor is furious because of this. If Liu Zhong cannot capture and kill the demon girl Tang Saier and other major rebels to serve his crime, the next person to be executed will definitely be him, the commander of the Shandong capital!
Therefore, Liu Zhong had no other choice and led his army to attack Qingzhou fiercely, killing many demons from the White Lotus Sect.
Tang Saier's rebellion was hasty. The so-called White Lotus Army was just a group of believers composed of poor people, and they were no match for the regular army of the imperial court.
Even though they occupied the danger of the city, they were still beaten back and had to retreat to the Yidu base area in order to preserve their strength.
At this moment, Liu Zhong's army had blocked the entire Yidu, but he was not in a hurry to send troops, but patiently waited for the arrival of the chief military officer Liu Sheng.
After all, Liu Zhong still didn't know what the court was going to do with him, so he was always worried and wanted to get some news from Liu Sheng.
After Liu Sheng led his army to Yidu, he merged with Liu Zhong's army.
But looking at the flattering commander of the Shandong Capital Division, Liu Sheng didn't give him any good looks.
This Liu Zhong is just an incompetent waste who inherited the achievements of his father and ancestors. He still hesitates to defeat the White Lotus Demon Sect. He shows no trace of the bloodiness and bravery of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. He really loses the face of the soldiers.
However, contempt is still contempt, and when it is time to comfort, you still have to comfort her. After all, the demon Tang Sai'er has not been caught yet.
"Liu Zhong, His Majesty the Emperor is furious because of this matter. Chu Lai, Zhang Hai and others have been escorted back to the capital, waiting to be executed. Moreover, they will be included in the biography of traitorous ministers by historians and will be infamy for thousands of years!"
"However, the Crown Prince has given you a chance. He has appointed you as the deputy commander-in-chief to assist the commander in suppressing the rebellion and exterminating the traitors. He has given you a chance to make meritorious service."
Hearing Liu Sheng's words, Liu Zhong was instantly overjoyed and immediately patted his chest and promised that he would fully cooperate.
Liu Sheng nodded impatiently, and then asked: "What's the situation with the rebels now?"
"Sir, all the rebels have retreated back to Shishipeng Village!"
"This Shishipeng Village is composed of several interconnected hills. It occupies a dangerous geographical location. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack!"
"The village is built on the edge of danger. It is surrounded by dangerous cliffs. Looking up from the bottom of the cliff, you can't see the top. Looking down from the top of the village, you can have a panoramic view of the nearby mountains and ravines. The houses are only as big as a fist."
"There are only two winding ladders leading into and out of the village, which are extremely dangerous. The top of the village is very large. A large village is divided into four small villages in the east, west, south and north. Each small village has a natural Tiancheng's commanding heights, four commanding heights echo each other, and Nanzhai is the highest, rising from the ground, and is inhabited by the rebel leader."
"And there is only a quiet valley leading to the entrance of the Shishipeng Village. It is shaped like a gourd and has only one exit, so it is called Calabash Valley. It was in Calabash Valley that that idiot Gao Feng was ambushed by the demon girl Tang Sai'er."
"Tang Sai'er set up an ambush in the Hulu Valley to lure the enemy deep into the Hulu Valley. He led Gao Feng and others into the Hulu Valley, blocked the entrance of the valley at night, cut off the enemy's retreat, and set up ambushes to surround them in the narrow valley. Tang Sai'er Er took the lead and charged into the enemy formation. Qingzhou commander Gao Feng panicked and was killed in the melee. The officers and soldiers were leaderless and had no fighting spirit. In an instant, they collapsed and the entire army was wiped out."
I have to admit that Liu Zhong has done a very good job in intelligence work.
After hearing this, Liu Sheng had a rough impression of Tang Sai'er.
Listening to what Liu Zhong said, it really matched what His Highness the Crown Prince said.
This demon girl Tang Saier is quite capable, brave and resourceful, she is a character!
It's just a pity that Mingzhu secretly betrayed her and she chose to rebel against the thief!
The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you will be victorious in every battle.
People like Gao Feng don't even understand the enemy's generals, so they dare to send troops rashly. If he doesn't die, who will die?
"How long have you besieged the rebels?"
"It's been more than a month. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net According to our calculations, the rebels are almost running out of food and grass!"
Liu Zhong hurriedly explained that he was not really stupid. The reason why he surrounded and refused to attack was because he wanted to use up the rebels' food and grass. When Liu Sheng's army arrived, they could wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop!
Liu Sheng nodded with satisfaction again. It seemed that this mission was relatively easy. Liu Zhong had made all the preparations that should be done in the early stage.
"You did a great job!"
"I will report the truth to the court!"
Liu Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and his face turned red with excitement.
He had worked so hard to do all this just to wait for Liu Sheng's words, hoping that the court would treat him lightly.
Liu Zhong talked about the information even harder, and even talked about ghosts and gods.
"Sir, there is something I don't know whether I should say."
"But it doesn't matter!"
"The demon girl Tang Sai'er called herself 'Buddha Mother', claimed that she could know the success or failure of the future, held a 'book from heaven', wielded a 'magic sword', and secretly connected among Yidu, Putai and Juzhou, and then organized We formed a 'White Lotus Army' and gathered thousands of people."
"Furthermore, there were many surviving soldiers under Gao Feng's command. According to them, there were not one rebel or one horse in the Hulu Valley, but countless big ghosts, all with green faces and fangs, with their hands open like cattail fans, easily attacking Taking Gao Feng’s head off, they were defeated and suffered heavy casualties.”
"To this day, these surviving soldiers are still shouting that the rebels are devils and not human at all!"
Liu Zhong himself was a little scared when he said this. This was also the reason why he hesitated to move forward.
He doesn't want to become the second Gao Feng and become a laughing stock in vain!
Hearing Liu Zhong's words, Liu Sheng's expression suddenly became strange.
This was actually said by His Highness the Crown Prince again!
The witch Tang Sai'er can pretend to be a ghost and frighten Master Wang, so don't trust her!
