Chapter 170 Fire

Monk Luo immediately stood in front of the hall, touched his bald head with his big palm, looked around, feeling a little bored.

According to the information given by Aluhan, there is a hero named Gao Yangge in Chen Hudian.This person has been battle-tested and has hundreds of heroes under his command. He is very vicious and cunning.

Monk Luo has a rough yet delicate temper. He knows that since Guo Ning came to Shandong, the first requirement for the pacification of the place is to be fast, and the second is to be straightforward.

So after he arrived here in a hurry, he didn't launch rashly, but sent his fine men to sneak into the village and set fire, and when the fire fighting was chaotic, he used his headquarters to break through the wall in one fell swoop.

Monk Luo has been in the army for many years, and has long been familiar with this kind of dispatch and support of three to five hundred people. He can be called a master.

Just in case, he also retained Monk Pei to lead two hundred elite soldiers as his successors.Once the front line is unfavorable, Monk Pei will lead people around the tidal flat north of Chen Hudian, making sure that the head and the tail do not look at each other.

result……

It's like fighting against someone on the battlefield, and the iron rod has only got a little bit of meat before the iron rod is stained with blood, and the enemy is utterly dead.

Monk Luo just thought it was absurd. If I had known this before, why would I spend so much energy on it?Isn't this a waste of time?
I thought that if the powerful families in Laizhou dared to oppose Guo Liulang, they had some powerful skills in their hands.As a result, that's it?

Among these miscellaneous soldiers, there are indeed a few brave ones.But on the battlefield where the two armies are fighting, their bravery is nothing more than that.

Obviously these powerful private soldiers have been trained in accordance with military law, but the level of training is seriously insufficient, and they also seriously lack the common sense of vigilance.So when Monk Luo rushed, they were defeated, as if they were no different from paper.

This is far from the first battle that Monk Luo imagined to pacify Laizhou.

Monk Luo shouted in disappointment: "Hurry up, hurry up! According to the list, kill as soon as you find it, don't delay!"

The crowd responded loudly, and scattered in all directions.

Not long after, several heads were brought back and thrown in front of Monk Luo's horse: "Commander, this belongs to Shi Laosan and Bo Laowu, and that belongs to Ma Bazi and Liu Twelve. These are all It's the thief who came out to fight against our Jiedu envoy!"

"Who is that..." Monk Luo opened the file and took another look: "Where is that guy named Gao Yang? Did he let him run away?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention. The one you smashed to death with an iron rod just now, the back of the head is broken, but the face is still fine."

"...I'm afraid you are not entertaining the Sajia!"

Several people said: "Turn it over, turn it over, find someone to recognize it."

Immediately, someone turned Brother Gao Yang over, grabbed a prisoner and recognized him: "That's right, it's Brother Gao Yang!"

"..." Monk Luo folded the file and stuffed it back into his waist pouch: "Leave [-] people here to guard the prisoners and count the supplies, and the rest of the soldiers will continue to move!"

When monk Luo's troops were on the rampage, Han Xuan and Ma Bao's troops marched separately and swept across Laizhou with a single fan.

Guo Ning gave them three days to clean up all parts of Laizhou, but according to the momentum, two days would be enough.Moreover, more time was spent on marching, and actually very little was spent on fighting.

This is good news for Guo Ning and others.

But for Xu Ruxian and other Laizhou powerhouses, this is great bad news.

The boundary between the two roads in Shandong has been a place for heroes since ancient times.As early as the heyday of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, there were so-called Jingdong thieves in Qing, Ji, Pu, Yun and other states. At one time, 36 people ran amok in Heshuo, with tens of thousands of officers and troops, and no one dared to resist.

Later, the people of the Song Dynasty united with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, and they had such a beautiful idea, but all the people in the world were well-informed, and their calculations came out.

Then Prince Li of Yunzhou, Gaotuo Mountain of Mizhou, Guo Jin of Yizhou, Zhang Xian of Leigu Mountain, Zhang Zheng of Donghai, etc. gathered together tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

When the Dajin rose and the Jurchens went south, Shandong was still fighting.

For example, Jinan Liu Wenshun, Shao Qing, Liangshan Zhang Rong, Yizhou Zhao Kaishan, Jinan Geng Jing and others are all great heroes and heroes who can rival the Jurchen tigers and wolves and dominate Shandong.Its illustrious name is still recited by the people today.

Although the local people are suffering, they have tough bones.After decades or hundreds of years, local rebellions have become commonplace, with blood spattered five times at every turn, and they are even more confident in their own force.

Therefore, Brother Gao Yang's idea and Xu Ruxian's decision were indeed based on the strength of powerful families in Shandong.Can't say they are stupid.

Unfortunately, it was wrong.

The folk customs in Shandong are indeed strong, but after all, they haven't fought a real war for decades.

In the early years of Dading, there were still more than 17 troops in the defense armies under the command of several commanders on the South Road, and they were abolished to 6 at the end of the Southern Expedition in Dading. Transferred to the Department of Criminal Justice, the main business has become the protection of public order.

However, during the Taihe period, the Nine Routes of the Song Dynasty had a great momentum, but in fact it was only a few encounters on the border. Neither side had the intention and was unable to continue.

The battle in the northern border trenches was quite different from that in the south.

When Dajin was at its strongest, facing the nomadic peoples on the grasslands, they still had to wear trenches and build barriers in order to consolidate themselves.

With the decline of Dajin and the rise of powerful enemies on the grassland, outsiders only know that Dajin Kingdom lost hundreds of thousands of troops in the battle of Yehuling, and suffered a big loss.But in fact, before the Battle of Yehuling, the strengths and weaknesses were different, and the offensive and defensive momentum was difficult to maintain. In what year did the northern defense line not fight?In what year was there no bloodshed?
It's just that every time the chaos happened, the army in northern Xinjiang tried their best to put it down, so all the places in Dajin didn't take it seriously!

In the past few years, the imperial court has signed troops and confiscated them one after another, forcefully forcing the Han and Jurchens all over the world to complain and suffer unspeakably. Why?Could it be that the princes in the court are full of food and are deliberately making trouble?

No, it's because if the army is not signed or conscripted, the strength of the defense line of thousands of miles in the northern border will not be maintained.Without the soldiers from northern Xinjiang rolling their heads to the front, the Mongols would have entered the Central Plains two years earlier; and the posture of the Dajin Kingdom would have been unstoppable two years earlier!
The intensity of the Mongol-Jin war has long surpassed that of the Song-Jin war by ten times.

The garrison in northern Xinjiang finally collapsed, on the one hand due to the increasingly incompetent command of the court; on the other hand, also due to the strength of the powerful enemies on the grassland, which has reached an unimaginable level for ordinary people.

And the thousands of people under Guo Ning's troops are really the last essence of the northern Xinjiang garrison.From top to bottom, this army is full of fierce soldiers who will never retreat from the Mongols in the most difficult situation.When these fierce soldiers are effectively organized, they will be an iron army!
The strength of their force is far beyond the imagination of local powerful families in Shandong.

This point, even Yang An'er didn't have enough expectations.

Yang An'er's troops were the most ferocious of the bandits in Shandong, that's why they were organized into the Tiewa Ganzhan Army by the imperial court, intending to use them to fight against the Mongolian army.

But Yang An'er is a smart man, he led his troops to Jiming Mountain outside Juyong Pass, and did not move for two full years, even if the emperor personally issued an edict, he would not move.

Although this preserved the strength of the Tiewa Ganzhan Army, it also made him lose the opportunity to truly see the powerful enemy in the north.

In Yang An'er's eyes, he only saw hundreds of thousands of northern Xinjiang troops retreating...

This is not uncommon, is it?When I, Yang An'er, was in Shandong, didn't I also fight all the [-] to [-] town defense troops on the east and west roads of Shandong?

Based on this, Yang An'er only came to the conclusion that the military equipment of the Dajin Kingdom was weak and crumbling, but he didn't really understand what kind of difficulties the Dajin Kingdom was facing in the north.

As a result, Yang An'er also miscalculated the strength of Guo Ning's troops.

In his memory, Guo Ning's troops were just a collection of defeated troops from northern Xinjiang.But he doesn't know, this moment, that moment also.

Since Yang An'er misjudged Guo Ning, Xu Ruxian was also affected.

After all, Yang An'er was the most knowledgeable among the many rebels in Shandong who fought in the north and south.If Xu Ruxian doesn't believe him, who else can he trust?

Xu Ruxian is not an incompetent person, he has been in Laizhou for many years, he can appease the subordinates, contact the powerful, and he can be entrusted by Yang An'er with the affairs of Laizhou. Of course, his means are powerful.

After he ordered everyone to prepare for the launch, he set off with a number of troops that night.

His strength is not fighting in battle, but he is also brave and brave. In the early morning of this day, he brought more than ten people into Ye County as usual.

In addition, there are 200 subordinates who are good at tearing and culling. They all wear bunts, hide short knives and sharp blades close to their bodies, and act separately.Some of them pretended to be ordinary farmers, some pretended to be woodcutters, and some pretended to be small traders who went to the city to buy, and sneaked into the city one after another.

Special arrangements had been made in the city long ago, the house was vacated to accommodate them, and food and wine were provided.

At noon, two hundred tough men arrived.

Xu Ruxian stood proudly in the courtyard, and with a wave of his hand, two trusted subordinates behind him spread out a map of the city of Ye County.

"Everyone, let's confirm one last time! Tonight at the earliest, or tomorrow morning at the latest, there will be a gathering of heroes from all walks of life outside the city, and the prison army and grain shooting army in the city will go to the city wall to defend. Let's not start yet, Waiting to see what's true in the city... Haha, because the officials have all gone to Haicang Town, the city is probably not true! By then..."

Just as they were about to enter the port, they could only hear the sound of footsteps outside, and a servant ran in with a pale face.
