Although they have never heard of any sixteen-character decision, tens of thousands of bandits really exist for them. New...

So, after hearing the news that I could use and recruit these thieves for my use, the despair on everyone's faces disappeared completely...

Then, it was as if it had been negotiated, and at the same time it fell into deep thought.

And at this moment, Zhou Shuyuan's next words were like stimulants, causing each of their eyes to shoot out very hot gazes...

It was absolutely unimaginable for them to go from a company commander to a battalion commander, or even a regiment commander...

Under the temptation of the huge bait of promotion, everyone was moved.

At this time, Zhou Shuyuan said again: "When you just entered Jiangnan, I will let us lurk in Jiangnan work to help you control a small bandit with no more than a hundred people, and provide each unit with five thousand grenades, one hundred muskets used by the new imperial army, and twenty thousand fixed-load lead bullets. As for how large you can develop to the end, it depends on your own ability..."

"What I want to say in the end is that during the entire development process, as long as you have the strength, you can completely capture the county town as your base... If you don't have the ability, you can only hide in the mountains..."

"Of course, although you are fighting outside, you are still the Tiger and Leopard Army. The military rules of the Tiger and Leopard Army must be strictly implemented... During development and combat, you must never harm the interests of any ordinary people. Not only that, you must also protect them and avoid them being persecuted by the new army of the court..."

"Of course. (Those landlords and gentry who followed the court wholeheartedly and had a very bad reputation were not among the protections... For these people, you can not only not protect them, but also send troops to attack them..."

After some analysis and discussion, these lower-level officers who climbed up step by step from soldiers and had rich combat experience have to admit that if this battle is fought well, it will not only not be in danger, but will also become a rare opportunity for their own promotion...

Therefore, under Luo Yangxing's gaze, none of the 100 carefully selected soldiers retreated in the last moment...

Five days later, on an official road located in Yangzhou Prefecture, a carriage filled with food, appeared to be like a caravan, slowly leaving Yangzhou City under the protection of more than a dozen young and strong people.

Because the carriage was marked by a giant merchant in Yangzhou City. In addition to the filial piety of a silver carriage, the carriage left Yangzhou City without any inspection.

After leaving Yangzhou City, which was heavily defended by the imperial court, more than a dozen young and strong men who were still nervous just now became relaxed.

One of the middle-aged men said with lingering fear: "Company Commander, I didn't expect that we would leave the city so easily... I thought that it would take a lot of trouble to get out at the city gate. I didn't expect that the city gate officer would be sent out in just one tael of silver..."

"You know, there are so many weapons we hide in that car. As long as he checks it a little, we will be exposed..."

At this time, the driver who was responsible for leading the way for them and spoke to the driver who knew more about Yangzhou City than anyone else: "Brother, it's not that the city gate officials are easy to deal with, but because one or two silver is already a lot for the officers and soldiers who guarded the city..."

"Since the court formed a new army, the officers and soldiers in these places have become the support of stepmothers... As far as I know, the monthly food and salary of these officers and soldiers is less than two taels of silver... plus the deductions above, the actual one tael of silver may only be one tael of silver... The one tael of silver we just took out, one cent, is enough for ten of their officers and soldiers to use it for several days..."

Speaking of this, you don’t have to guess it. This is a team of Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers sent by Luo Yangxing to Yangzhou City to fight behind enemy lines...

Ten people, the first batch of firearm equipment in a row...

Get ashore from Yangzhou Wharf, with the help of the guards in Yangzhou City, you left Yangzhou City and headed for their first target of attack...

After listening to the detailed explanation, the company commander's face showed a thoughtful expression.

However, he did not think about this issue for too long.

Because there is a problem in front of you, it must be solved immediately. That is, to find a place for your nine brothers at the first time...

Thinking of this, the company commander asked directly to the driver who was driving the car around him: "Brother, what is the specific situation in Cangyunling you are talking about... After all, we only have ten people. If the opponent is too strong and there are casualties, it would be too unprofitable..."

The coachman who knew the identity of the company commander quickly replied: "Corporate Wang, don't worry, the bandits on Cangyun Ridge just pulled up. Although there were seventy or eighty people, there was not a firearm, and there was not even a bow and arrow... With the firearms in the hands of the brothers, they could definitely be easily destroyed..."

"In addition, most of the people in Cangyunling are people who cannot survive. As long as they kill a few of the leaders, the others will be able to quickly transform into our brothers... As long as they give them food and let their families survive, they will work hard for us..."

"Okay..." The company couldn't help but shout loudly while breathing a sigh of relief.

With the nine subordinates watching at the same time, he decided to decisively: "Since that's the case, then we will take Cangyunling and use Cangyunling as our base..."

The final result was no surprise. Ten muskets and one musket shot out only one lead bullet. The Cangyunling bandits who had died eight people were frightened and pale, kneeled on the ground and surrendered to the Tiger and Leopard Army...

In this way, the ten people got the Tiger and Leopard Army and had a piece of their own territory, and also captured fifty-three qualified prisoners...

Just as the ten tiger and leopard troops began to train more than 50 prisoners and were preparing to show their strength in Yangzhou.

In Gansu and Ning provinces, a new imperial army with a size of more than 20,000 people is launching fierce attacks on a county town.

If you only judge by the dense musket shooting and the deafening sound of shell explosions, you will definitely be able to draw conclusions, and the entire offensive battle will definitely be very fierce.

However, this is indeed the case on the battlefield completely shrouded in gunpowder...

The new army of the court, who was attacking, stopped two hundred steps outside the city, and kept firing guns into the sky...

Grenades with white smoke were constantly thrown into places where no one was going to explode...

As for the flowering bullets with a scream, they also hit wherever there is no one...

Such dense gunfire and explosions lasted for about half an hour, and finally stopped slowly.

Then, hundreds of tiger and leopard troops broke out from other gates of the county town. The new imperial army, which launched an attack, occupied the county town very easily... (To be continued...)
