The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

I’m afraid that Liu Dazhuang and his two hundred brothers will never come back!

But they were also helpless because the chief general of the imperial court, Duke Niu Qing, was cautious and it was impossible for them to follow Liu Dazhuang to provide support.

Otherwise, the large-scale deployment of troops would be discovered by the Xuzhou government, which would not only be of no help, but would also likely alert the enemy and cause the mission to fail completely.

At this moment, they had no choice but to wait until the 20,000 troops were completely destroyed before they could take advantage of the chaos to attack and play a key role in determining the outcome of the battle!

Zhu Guli looked at the backs of Liu Dazhuang and others and sighed.

"I didn't expect that Liu Dazhuang, this bastard, would be so lucky!"

Liang Liang also said in a low voice,

"Hall Master, how should we report this mission to the Peak Master?"

Zhu Guli turned his head and looked at Liang Liang, then shook his head after thinking for a moment.

"Let's wait until we're done before reporting to the Peak Master!"

"Otherwise, given the Peak Master's temperament, he might even risk his own safety for the sake of his brothers!"

Liang Liang was slightly stunned when he heard this.

After looking at the backs of Liu Dazhuang and others,

Then he looked at the ridges on Chocolate's head that were made by the gold ingot.

The mouth moved.

Finally turned into a sigh,

No words were spoken.

……

At this time, Li Qingfeng, the leader of Qingfeng Village who was sitting in the Yangzhou government office, was listening to Aunt Hua's report with a serious expression.

"The elite troops of the Eighth Hall have arrived outside Hangzhou Prefecture and are currently working their way back to the rear of the imperial army. It looks like they will be able to join forces with the Four Halls in Suzhou Prefecture to defeat the 50,000-man army by tonight at the latest!"

"The Second and Third Halls have engaged in several battles with the 60,000-strong imperial army that passed through Chuzhou in the Tianchang and Liuhe areas. At noon today, they took advantage of the terrain at Yeshan and annihilated the enemy's 10,000-strong vanguard force with overwhelming force! We suffered fewer than 20 casualties, and the two hall masters have reported that they will seek another opportunity to destroy the enemy!"

"The Fifth and Sixth Halls have deployed defenses along the canals around Gaoyou Lake as ordered. Currently, no fighting has occurred."

"Halls One and Seven report that the prisoners under their respective charge have undergone preliminary ideological transformation and will be ready for battle in at most two weeks."

"..."

After listening to Aunt Hua's report, Qingfeng Li nodded slightly.

"The imperial army of Hangzhou Prefecture is concentrating its attack on the city. They have elite troops from the Fourth and Eighth Halls, as well as firearms. It's easy for them to destroy those tens of thousands of troops."

"Although the Second and Third Halls have annihilated the enemy's vanguard, they still have 50,000 troops following up. The Duke of Shan is no fool."

As he said that, he turned to look at Xiao Ai, a classmate beside him.

"Xiao Ai, what do you think?"

Xiao Ai answered without any emotion,

"Based on the Duke of Shan's past battles, after suffering such a heavy loss, it's impossible for them to give us another chance to annihilate them on such a large scale."

"Next, the 50,000-strong army under the command of Duke Shan will likely split up and advance on multiple fronts to attack Liuhe County again. If our elite firearms forces then work together to stop them, the other fronts will be plunged into hand-to-hand combat, and their advantage will be lost. If they are divided, it will be difficult to effectively suppress and demoralize the enemy, and they might even be able to take advantage."

"Therefore, it is not recommended to confront the enemy in Liuhe County in the Second and Third Halls, creating a stalemate."

Qingfeng Li nodded and said,

"Yes, that's what I'm worried about!"

"The power of firearms lies in their ability to blockade and crush enemy forces on a large scale. But now that this advantage has been exposed, the court is not entirely foolish. They have their own countermeasures."

Seeing this, Aunt Hua gave a timely warning.

"Master Bee, Yunchi Hall's men have previously assassinated many military generals. Do you think we should let Xiaohu..."

After hearing this, Qingfeng Li thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Before the war even started, Xiaohu's men had already killed more than a dozen generals, including a duke, because they were caught off guard."

"But now the war has begun, and the enemy has long been prepared. It is extremely difficult to assassinate a general in the midst of thousands of soldiers. Let's not let our brothers sacrifice their blood in vain!"

"But let's talk about their numbers later. Let the Second and Third Halls defend Liuhe County. Once the captives from the First and Seventh Halls are trained and brought out, we'll launch a full-scale attack!"

Aunt Hua's expression became serious.

"Yes, I understand!"

Qingfeng Li nodded slightly and suddenly asked,

"What's the news about the Ninth Hall?"

"Chocolate has over 10,000 men on his side, and now they have no backup. They're facing the Imperial Army's Divine Machine Battalion, and I heard they have heavy artillery. How is the battle going on his side?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hua said,

"According to the news from the Ninth Hall, after the Duke of Zhenguo, Niu Qing, arrived at Xuzhou Prefecture with an army of 20,000 from the Divine Machine Battalion and 50,000 from the Capital Battalion, he stopped there, apparently waiting for news about the Divine Martial Cannon."

Qingfeng Li sneered at the words.

"What the hell is this Shenwu cannon? How can you call that a Shenwu cannon?"

Then he looked at Xiao Ai and asked,

"Xiao Ai, how's the mortar experiment going in the village?"
