Zheng Yuan counted the total number of people.
Including himself, there were only eighteen people left.
Even the third child couldn't run back.
"Boss, what should we do now?
Let's retreat.
The other side has firearms from the Han army."
The second man stammered with his upper and lower teeth chattering.
"Withdraw us like this and go back to higher places.
How can we explain to the superiors?"
Zheng Yuan said with red eyes: "There is no need to search and plunder.
Let's light the fire and burn the village to the ground first."
The soldiers of the Wu army hurriedly took out the fire starters and lit the torches one after another.
At this time, a large group of people came out of the village, as many as fifty or sixty people, each holding a knife, fork, gun and spear, and several of them also held a knife, fork, gun and spear.
An arquebus.
Zheng Yuan sneered and shouted: "Some old and weak mountain villagers are nothing to be afraid of.
Kill them for me."
As he said this, he took out the two three-foot-long knives from his waist and took the lead in killing the villagers.
Seeing this, the other seventeen people's morale soared, and they also shouted to kill in unison, and rushed forward after him.
"Bang bang bang" a series of gunshots sounded.
At close range, eight soldiers had been shot through the body with matchlocks.
Hearing the gunshot, the comrades beside him fell to the ground dead, including the second child.
Seven of the remaining nine Wu soldiers were killed, and their morale suddenly disappeared.
He ran out as fast as he could.
Only Zheng Yuan and two other soldiers rushed forward to kill, and those two soldiers were quickly killed with random shots and knives.
Zheng Yuan rushed left and right, killing three people one after another.
The more he killed, the more excited he became, but he did not notice an eight-edged bronze stick stretched out in front of him.
With a bang, Zheng Yuan's body fell straight to the ground. .
The seven escaping soldiers also failed to escape and were stopped by more than 20 villagers at the exit of the river bend.
Three of them carried matchlocks that chilled them.
The seven devastated people hurriedly knelt down and surrendered.
Due to defense reasons, Gao'an County and Shanggao County were separately set aside by Zhu Yuanzhang and renamed Gao'an Guards Station.
At this time, in Gao Anwei's government office, Mu Ying and other generals had a routine meeting.
Mu Ying put a thick stack of military intelligence reports on the table in front of her and spread them out: "The first batch of raiding teams we sent totaled more than fifty teams and more than three thousand people.
One month after the operation, the surviving ones There were only more than a thousand people, more than thirty teams were wiped out, more than ten teams suffered heavy losses, and the remaining ones made no achievements at all."
As he was talking, some soldiers came to report that Lan Yu, who had been fighting for ten thousand years, was back.
Wait for Lan Yu to enter the hall and sit down.
Mu Ying just asked: "Brother Lan, how is the situation in Wanzai War?"
Lan Yu shook his head and said, "Don't mention it.
Wanzai City is equipped with a large number of Han army's new guns and cannons, which are extremely powerful and shoot very fast.
As soon as one shot is fired, our soldiers will fall into pieces and it will be impossible to conquer it."
It turned out that Mu Ying and Lan Yu saw that Wu Jun's infiltration and attack campaign was difficult to succeed, so they analyzed the reasons and looked for a solution.
In the end, the two of them believed that removing Wanzai, the nail that prevented the Han army from exploring the frontier, would reduce the frequent comings and goings of the Han army's forward scouts based here.
This can delay the time for the raiding team to be discovered in advance and reduce the chance of being discovered, thereby increasing their success rate.
Mu Ying nodded with a heavy face and said, "Look at Brother Lan's face and expression, and you know a thing or two."
After that, he informed Lan Yu about the general situation of the Wu army's recent attack.

Lan Yu frowned and said to Mu Ying: "Brother, I think this is not a problem with our tactics, but that we should not have this strategy.
This not only fails to achieve the goal, but also damages the reputation of our Wu Army.
It is not worth the loss."
I also hope that Brother Mu will tell the truth to the Lord as soon as possible and give him advice."
Mu Ying said expressionlessly: "This is natural.
I will personally respond to Tianyi today and report the situation here to my father.
Until now, let's stop our attack war for the time being."
When Muying rushed to the sky, she did not see Zhu Yuanzhang.
Because he had personally led his army eastward to conquer Zhang Shicheng.
Mu Ying waited until the end of the year before Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Yingtian.
Zhu Yuanzhang's trip was not in vain.
He attacked the city and captured the territory, won many battles, and finally surrounded Zhang Shicheng in Pingjiang City.
A few months later, Pingjiang City was captured and Zhang Shicheng was forced to commit suicide.
In this way, the entire Yangtze River Basin from Jiujiang onwards was owned by him.
At the end of this year, Zhu Yuanzhang officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, with the reign name Hongwu.
Zhu Yuanzhang met Mu Ying, who had been waiting for a long time, in the newly built Yangxin Hall of the Imperial Palace.
When Mu Ying reported the situation of the war in eastern Hunan to Zhu Yuanzhang, the other party said disapprovingly: "I already know this situation.
Since it can't be implemented, let's stop.
I have a new way to deal with that little kid in the west. ” The method Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned was to raid the Han territory and capture Queyue City.
Because the spies in Wuchang City under the command of Zhang Zhong finally confirmed that all the sophisticated firearms of the Han army came from Queyue City after years of investigation and investigation, at the cost of exposing many people and arresting a large number of spies.
However, Queyue City was heavily guarded and was sandwiched between the Han River and Guishan Mountain.
More than ten miles outside the city is a heavily guarded area, and no one else is allowed to enter.
There is a special defense army camp on Guishan Mountain, and the Han troops stationed there patrol around Queyue City on a daily basis.
There is also a water village directly opposite the Han River in Queyue City.
Boats are sent out day and night to shuttle back and forth on the waters of the Han River and the Yangtze River near Queyue City to provide warning.
Because of the large number of ships transporting copper and iron logs and the large number of Han army baggage ships entering and leaving Queyue City, Zhang Zhong's subordinates discovered that this small town, known to the outside world as the military camp, was unusual.
It was eventually discovered that the ships coming out of Queyue City were carrying firearms and ammunition.
But their several attempts to infiltrate Queyue City failed.
In any case, Zhu Yuanzhang already knew that the new firearms of the Han army came from Queyue City, and they were still being produced continuously.
At the same time, the battlefield in eastern Hunan in the south was also unsatisfactory.
At this time, not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but also Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and other advisers who knew about the matter had only one choice, which was to concentrate their forces, go up the river, and attack Chen Li in a large scale.
Even if Chen Li cannot be destroyed for the time being, or even Wuchang City cannot be captured, Queyue City must be captured or at least destroyed.
Otherwise, when Chen Li uses these sophisticated firearms to train and equip the new army in large numbers, it will be a disaster for Zhu Yuanzhang and his Ming Dynasty.
The fourth year of the Chen Dynasty of the Han Empire, the turn of spring and summer of the second year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of Zhang Shicheng's power and assembled an army of 300,000.
Going up the river, they attacked the Han Dynasty in a mighty manner.
Suddenly, the Yangtze River was covered with flags and thousands of masts lit the sky.
At the same time, in order to contain and disperse the Han army's forces, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered Mu Ying and Lan Yu in the south to launch an upward attack on eastern Hunan.
Chen Li, who was already fourteen years old, did not take it seriously after receiving the urgent military information that kept coming.
Because this is what he wanted.
When the Han army captured Xi Zuo who was probing the secrets of Queyue City, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang must take this action and was already prepared
