Chapter 16: The Sturdy Liu Family

Looking at the increasingly fierce battle in Xuzhou City ahead, everyone knew that Sesame Li, Zhao Junyong and others could no longer hold on. With the strength in their hands, it was really a miracle that they had persisted until the tenth day.

Anyway, the Prime Minister of Meng Yuan, Tuotuo, who was outside the city, was so angry that he scolded him countless times. Although he saw the crumbling Xuzhou City, Tuotuo did not feel happy at all, because he became more worried about Meng Yuan's future.

"My boss, Chang Yuchun of the Second Division sent troops to report that he and the supervisor Xie Jinzhong have captured the Luzhou Racecourse and have received nearly 100,000 cavalry."

"Oh? This is great news.

It seems that our Commander Chang will soon be promoted to Army Commander."

"My boss, Chang Yuchun is bringing more than 100,000 troops to Xuzhou for reinforcements."

"What? Didn't I order him to directly capture Luzhou, Chizhou and other places?" Suning was a little surprised.

"Huh? Master, Master Chang is worried about the war in Xuzhou and is afraid that you may be in danger."

"I..." Suning really wanted to curse, but knowing that this was Chang Yuchun's loyalty, she really couldn't ask for anything.

Chang Yuchun's self-assertive behavior is a taboo for military strategists, but now his power can only be in the initial stage. Chang Yuchun is also one of his favorite generals. As for punishment, he can only wait until the "after-autumn settlement", and

It must be a painless punishment, otherwise it may chill the hearts of "loyal ministers".

Suning knew that Chang Yuchun's army of more than 100,000 people was coming to "support" him. Looking at the crumbling Xuzhou City, he had a different thought. After all, the battles fought when the rich were rich were also the battles of the rich.

Sesame Li and Zhao Junyong are both speculators with no moral bottom line, and they were born bandits who committed all kinds of evil. Their original promises to the people of Xuzhou were just forced "lies".

From the very beginning when they fought against the Mongolian and Yuan forces, they secretly planned to abandon the city and flee. Seeing that there was really no chance of resistance, Sesame Li and Zhao Junyong prepared to escape at night.

But before their escape operation could begin, the Mongolian and Yuan armies broke through Xuzhou City, and a flood of Mongolian and Yuan armies poured into Xuzhou City.

Seeing that the situation was over, Sesame Li and Zhao Junyong no longer wanted to resist. They just wanted to escape Xuzhou City and fly away. However, Sesame Li's goal was too big, and he was immediately targeted by the Mongolian and Yuan forces.

"The Prime Minister has an order!

Anyone who catches sesame plums alive will be rewarded with thousands of gold coins and thousands of nobles!"

After Tuotuo gave the order, the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers went crazy, and they all attacked the remnants of the Red Turban Army without fear of death.

When Zhao Junyong saw that he was surrounded by the Mongolian and Yuan forces, he had no intention of going to the rescue. Instead, he immediately escaped from Xuzhou Nancheng with the remaining troops around him, and then did not go to the Red Flag Army in Suining County, but went all the way.

The galloping direction is Haozhou City.

...

Seeing that Xuzhou City had been breached by the Mongolian and Yuan armies, Suning from Suining County also shook his head with compassion. At this time, Chang Yuchun's army of hundreds of thousands also arrived in Suining.

"My boss, this general deserves death!"

"Oh? Where did your crime come from?" Suning looked at Chang Yuchun and Xie Jinzhong with a smile.

"My boss, the general should not disobey military orders!

It's just that the general is really worried about the war in Xuzhou."

"Haha, it seems you still don't have confidence in me as your boss!"

"Eh? The general will not dare!"

"Haven't you already done everything you dare to do?

It just so happens that this time I want to show you the capabilities of the Guard Division Shenji Battalion."

After Tuotuo captured Xuzhou City, he did not let his soldiers massacre the city because Suning's 200,000 troops were waiting outside Xuzhou City, so the Mongolian and Yuan armies only entered the city to rest and prepare for war.

"Damn it! Where did the Red Flag Army get so many cavalry?" Tuotuo slapped the table angrily.

"Prime Minister, the only possibility is that the Red Flag Army has already broken through Luzhou City. After all, Luzhou has many horse farms." Tuotuo's deputy general could only rely on guesswork.

"Impossible! Daruchi Zharchi of Luzhou City is not a mediocre general, and he cannot be easily defeated by the Red Flag Army."

"Prime Minister, please forgive me for speaking frankly.

No one in the whole court knows that if you don’t deal with Zharchi and the Prime Minister, do you think Zharchi did it on purpose?”

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Although I dislike Zharchi very much, his ability and loyalty to Dayuan are unquestionable." Tuotuo shook his head firmly without thinking.

"this......"

"Hey! Let's not talk about Zarchi from Luzhou.

Let’s first see how to face the Red Flag Army in front of us!”

"Prime Minister, don't worry!

Although the Red Flag Army opposite has a large number of people and now has a large number of cavalry, it still cannot change their mud-legged background, so they absolutely cannot be the opponent of our Dayuan Army."

"Well! I hope so!"

After three days of rest, the Mongolian and Yuan army returned to its original peak state. Satisfied, Tuotuo led the army directly out of the city and came to Suining County to prepare for a decisive battle with the Red Flag Army.

Looking at the Red Flag Army on the opposite side, which was also armed to the teeth, Tuotuo couldn't help but feel a little frightened. At the same time, he also saw the artillery position of the Red Flag Army, but he didn't take it to heart.

Thermal weapons had already been used in the Song Dynasty, and artillery and muskets were nothing new. They were more of a psychological intimidation to the enemy caused by the loud noise.

"Prime Minister, would you like me to take the vanguard to meet the Red Flag Army on the opposite side?"

"No! I'm very curious about Suning. I want to talk to him before the battle."

"Yes! Prime Minister!"

Through the military telescope, Suning saw the Mongolian and Yuan armies slowly pressing forward. Of course, he also saw the historical celebrity Tuo Tuo. However, Suning did not feel any pressure. Instead, he looked at the "million-strong army" opposite as if he were an individual.

head.

At this time, a Mongolian Yuan cavalryman rode up to the front of the Red Flag Army formation and looked at the Red Flag Army with an arrogant attitude, "My Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty has an order for Suning, the owner of your Red Flag Army, to come out for a dialogue."

"Hmph! Boss, I'm going to kill this idiot!" The general of the Red Flag Army felt indignant when he saw the arrogance of the visitor.

"Haha, why do you need to know someone like this?"

"Huh? Boss, do you want to talk to Tuo Tuo Zhen Qian?"

"Hmph! I have no interest in having an awkward conversation with an old man!"

"Well......"

"Geng Junyong!"

"The end is here!"

"Let your Shenji battalion fire!"

"Yes! Boss!"

In response to Tuotuo, Suning ordered his Shenji Battalion artillery position to fire at the Mongolian and Yuan forces ahead. The M224 mortars from later generations were mixed with the original artillery in the late Yuan Dynasty, and they were about to roar like thunder together.

Suning was not interested in talking to him in front of the battle, and Tuotuo was also very angry. Seeing the behavior of the Red Flag Army on the opposite side, he realized that they wanted to open fire.

Tuotuo shouted to the army behind him nonchalantly, "Bang the drum! Attack!"

"Yes! Prime Minister!"

"Tum! Tum! Tum..."

"Soldiers! Charge with me!"

Geng Junyong returned to his Shenji Battalion artillery position and shouted to the Meng Yuan cavalry charging towards their Red Flag Army, "Fire the artillery!"

A roar like thunder was emitted, shocking the space in the Yuan Dynasty world. The shells quickly fell on the Meng Yuan army. With the explosion of the shells, many of the Meng Yuan army were torn to pieces.

Because the impact of the Mongolian and Yuan armies was too intensive, the Red Flag Army did not need the so-called calibration at all. They only needed to keep inserting shells and firing them.

"ah......"

Looking at the soldiers around him who were torn apart by artillery shells, Tuotuo couldn't help but be shocked, because this subverted his perception. In his impression, artillery could not have this ability.

"Prime Minister, the weapons of the rebels on the other side are too powerful!"

"It's okay! Soon the barrels of their firearms will stop firing due to heat, allowing the soldiers to continue charging!"

"Yes! Prime Minister!"

Chang Yuchun and Xie Jinzhong from the Red Flag Army also saw the power of the artillery. Their eyes widened in shock and they looked at Suning in disbelief, "Boss, our firearms are so powerful!"

"Haha, this is just the beginning.

The great ones are yet to come.”

The artillery of the Red Flag Army kept firing. The old primitive artillery soon had to stop to cool down because the barrel was hot, but the M224 mortar still roared crazily.

The powerful power of mortars from later generations still frustrated the attack of the Mongolian and Yuan armies, but due to the Prime Minister's strict order to escape, they had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Soon, many of the remaining Mongolian and Yuan soldiers rushed to the front of the Red Flag Army. Just when Chang Yuchun and others were about to take the plunge, Geng Jun waved his big hand and directed the soldiers of the Red Flag Army's garrison division holding Ak47 at them.

The enemies in front of the formation started firing indiscriminately.

As the AK47 fired, the Mongolian soldiers fell down like leeks. At this time, the Mongolian soldiers no longer paid attention to Tuotuo's orders and retreated back in fear.

"Mom! Run!"

Looking at the Meng Yuan soldiers who fled before the battle, Tuotuo didn't feel any blame at all, because he knew that Dayuan was completely finished this time.

"Chang Yuchun!"

"The end is here!"

"Lead all the cavalry and charge together!"

"Yes! Boss!"

As more than 100,000 troops charged together, they attacked the Mongolian and Yuan army like an overwhelming mountain. Seeing that the situation was over, Tuotuo sadly said to the deputy general, "Retreat!"

Following Tuotuo's order to retreat, the "million-dollar Mongolian army" was defeated like a mountain. The soldiers desperately wanted to escape back to Xuzhou City.

After the first sound of running from Suning, Mao Gui and Xu Da led their troops to rush towards Xuzhou City. The Mongolian and Yuan soldiers who stayed behind in Xuzhou City were just auxiliary soldiers, and it was impossible for them to resist the Jinyi guards and soldiers living in the city.

A joint attack by the Red Banner Army.

By the time Tuotuo led his remnant troops to the gates of Xuzhou City, the flag of Xuzhou City had been changed to a red flag. Tuotuo realized that he had been raided by the Red Flag Army, and suddenly became helpless and discouraged.

"Prime Minister, what should we do?"

"Chahan, please lead the remaining soldiers to surrender!"

"ah?"

Ignoring the shock of Lieutenant General Chahan, Tuo Tuo drew out his sword and saw him wiping his neck at the foot of Xuzhou City. As a line of blood surged, Tuo Tuo, the Prime Minister of Meng Yuan Dynasty, died.

"Prime Minister?" Chahan noticed Tuotuo's thoughts and it was already too late to stop him.

...

In Chuzhou City, Tang He, who had been promoted to division commander, was handling official duties at his official residence, but his mind was on the distant battlefield in Xuzhou.

When Zhu Chongba wrote a letter asking them to join him, Tang He knew that Zhu Chongba wanted to "lay eggs by borrowing chickens" and wanted to have his own power.

However, after these fellow villagers came to Chuzhou, they were directly disrupted and assigned to various places by their employer Suning. It was obvious that their employer Suning had noticed Zhu Chongba's little thoughts.

Tang He and others observed uneasily for a period of time and found that their boss Suning did not mean to discriminate against them. Instead, they were promoted based on their abilities and merits. This made Tang He and others' mentality complicated.

"Report!"

"What's the matter?"

"Your Excellency, Alu Hui, who was imprisoned in Chuzhou Prison, escaped from prison."

"What? How many people escaped?" Tang He stood up in shock.

"Sir, it's just Aru Hui!"

"Well! Strengthen inspections at various city gates and docks, and we must not let Alu Hui escape."

"Yes! Sir!"

Although Tang He made arrangements like this, he didn't take it to heart when he heard that only one Alu Hui had escaped, because he thought Alu Hui could not make a difference.

In the Su Mansion in Chuzhou City, Ms. Liu was also very worried about the war in Xuzhou. Although she knew that Suning definitely had a back-up plan, she still couldn't help but worry. After all, Suning was now their mother and son's total support.

"Madam, are you worried about the owner of the Xuzhou battlefield?"

"Yeah!" Mrs. Liu looked at the considerate Ma Xiuying in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.

"Madam, I don't think you need to worry too much.

Because I think the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty claims to have an army of one million, but actually having two hundred thousand is pretty good."

"Oh? Why is this?" Ms. Liu looked at Ma Xiuying curiously.

"Madam, the Meng Yuan Dynasty is no longer the huge empire it used to be.

Not only was the imperial court in a state of decay, but its military strength was also greatly reduced.

You must know that the logistics of a million-strong army is a terrifying figure. The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, which has blocked the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is simply impossible to support and assemble a million-strong army."

"Well! Xiuying, you and your boss have the same ideas. It seems that you two are likely to become close friends in the future."

Ma Xiuying suddenly felt her face getting hot, and she quickly lowered her head and said, "Xiuying doesn't dare!"

"Haha, don't worry!

I am not a jealous woman, as long as your boss likes you, I will never stop you."

"Thank you madam for making it happen!

From now on, Xiuying must take Madam’s leadership as her guide!”

"Well! You are really good!" Looking at Ma Xiuying who was complimenting her, Ms. Liu felt comfortable all over.

Late one night, the Su Mansion in Chuzhou City was quiet. At this time, all the family members of the Su Mansion had gone to bed. However, a loud shout of murder suddenly came from outside the mansion, waking up all the family members in the Su Mansion.

"It's coming!"

"lady!"

"What's going on outside?"

"Back to Madam, a group of rebels of unknown origin suddenly came to Chuzhou City."

"What? What does Tang He do for food?"

Regarding Mrs. Liu's problem, the maid was really helpless. At this time, Su Ming, who was only more than one year old, was also frightened and woke up, and then cried loudly.

"Wow...Mom..."

Hearing her son's cry, Mrs. Liu quickly ran over to check. While picking up her son, she comforted her patiently, "Be good tomorrow! It's okay! Don't be afraid!"

At this time, Ma Xiuying also ran in with Guo Ning'er in a panic, "Madam, are you okay?"

"It's okay! How are you doing over there?

How many thieves are there?"

"Madam, there are many thieves, at least one or two thousand!

Our Su Mansion’s guards may not be able to resist for long?”

"Well! Don't worry!

Our reinforcements should be arriving soon."

Ma Xiuying looked at Mrs. Liu's Suning, and quickly and obediently asked to take it over, "Madam, please hold the child for me!"

"No! Give up the baby!" Mrs. Liu would not trust anyone at this time, let alone hand over her son to Ma Xiuying.

Everything today is weird. Chuzhou City is the headquarters of the Red Flag Army. Suning's power here is definitely not comparable to other places. This is why Suning has always arranged the families of the Red Flag Army generals here.

The dark enemy's attack was too fierce and the number of people was very large. Then the Su Mansion was quickly occupied by the enemy. Seeing the vicious thieves one by one, Ms. Liu tried her best to restrain her inner fear.

"Are you Mrs. Liu, Suning's wife?

Haha, she is indeed the most beautiful woman in the world!" The leader of the thieves was dressed like a Meng Yuan general, and his eyes when looking at Mrs. Liu were full of greed and evil desire.

Liu suppressed her inner fear, held the pistol tightly in her arms, and then looked at the person firmly, "May I ask who the general is?"

"Haha, I am Alu Hui!

The soldiers behind me are all three thousand Miao soldiers from Yangzhou City."

"What? Are you Aru Hui?

Haven't you been locked up in prison?" After hearing the introduction of the thief leader, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but be surprised.

"Haha, in a place like Chuzhou Prison, how could I, Alu Hui, be imprisoned?" Alu Hui looked at Mrs. Liu proudly.

"Oh? If so many of you can enter Chuzhou City, there must be some insiders in Chuzhou City, right?" Mrs. Liu started to inquire as soon as her heart moved.

"Haha, since you are so beautiful, I might as well tell you that we do have an insider, but it's just over there on Jiqing Road." Looking at the women in front of him, Alu Hui didn't take it to heart.

"Jiqing Road?"

"That's right!

Zhu Sineng, who is in charge of the underground industry on Jiqing Road, is our internal correspondent!

He first arranged for us to go to the city in batches under the pretext of doing business.

Haha, it seems like this is the routine of your Red Flag Army!"

"Oh? Thank you, General, for clarifying my doubts.

General, can you come forward and answer me?" Knowing that there were no traitors in the Red Flag Army, Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh? Haha, I really want it!" Regarding Liu's invitation, Alu Hui was so excited that his mind was filled with unlimited imagination, and he quickly ran over.

Seeing the way Alu Hui's head was on his head, Liu took out his pistol and shot Alu Hui in the head when he came within the shooting range of his pistol.

"Bang!"

As a gunshot rang out, Alu Hui fell down with an excited expression on his face. Seeing Alu Hui being killed by Liu's "hidden weapon" like this, the Miao soldiers and the family members of the Su Mansion were very shocked.

Shocked and panicked, Ma Xiuying also looked at the "tough" Liu with a look of disbelief.

After the Miao soldiers came to their senses, they immediately picked up their spears in fear and looked at Liu, who was holding a "hidden weapon" across from them.

Looking at the Miao soldiers below, Liu smiled disapprovingly and said, "The principal culprit is dead, and the followers will not be held accountable!

Give up your weapons and surrender!"

"..." After hearing Liu's words, the Miao soldiers all looked at each other in shock.

"Hmph! What are you still hesitating about?

This is Chuzhou, and the Red Flag Army will arrive soon. What can you do with just 3,000 people then?" At this time, Ma Xiuying, who was standing next to her, also loudly reprimanded the Miao soldiers.

"Everyone, I am Mrs. Liu of the Red Flag Army.

I am here to assure you that as long as you abandon your weapons and surrender, the Red Flag Army will treat you equally." Mrs. Liu smiled again and looked at the frightened Miao soldiers.

At this time, the Miao soldiers were all excited, because Alu Hui was unpopular. They, the Miao soldiers, had long disliked Alu Hui. Now Alu Hui was killed by Liu with a "hidden weapon". They Miao soldiers

There is no longer any way out.

"Madam, we surrender!"

"Dang Cang..."

The sound of weapons falling to the ground also made Mrs. Liu relax. At this time, Red Flag Army reinforcements also appeared outside the Su Mansion. Tang He, who was wearing armor, saw the situation on the field and let the Red Flag Army control all the Miao soldiers while kneeling down.

In front of Mrs. Liu.

"The general is guilty! He allowed thieves to take advantage of the loophole!"

"If the enemy is intentional, we can't guard against it!

What crime is the general guilty of!"

"lady......"

"Okay! Let's take these Miao soldiers down and resettle them first!

All treatment must be in accordance with the arrangements of our Red Flag Army officers and men, and there must be no harsh treatment!"

"Yes! Madam!"

After arranging the Miao soldiers, Mrs. Liu suddenly looked at Chen Boda, who had also come to the rescue, and said, "Director Chen, let your royal guards move."

"Just now Aruhui mentioned that Zhu Sineng from Jiqing Road is his internal agent.

Get rid of Zhu Sineng's forces as soon as possible, and wait until the boss comes back to deal with it."

"Yes! Madam!"

"Okay! General Tang leaves enough Red Flag Army guards, and then go down!"

"Yes! Madam!"

After Tang He and others left, Mrs. Liu could no longer hold on, and she was about to collapse while holding Su Ming. Fortunately, Ma Xiuying next to her had quick eyesight and quick hands, and she supported the limp Ms. Liu.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

"I'm fine! Help me go back and rest first!" Ms. Liu still hugged Su Ming tightly and did not give the child to anyone else.

At this time, Guo Ning'er and Suning's concubine Chen also ran over, and together with Ma Xiuying helped Liu go back to rest.
