Dominate the Country

ps: First update, three updates today.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

..., six shots in a row. Six tiger squat cannons fired at once, and the smoke filled the left and right artillery positions, and the overwhelming black dots also covered the heads of the fleeing Green Camp soldiers and militia.

Screams came one after another.

These Green Camp soldiers and militiamen, whose hearts were gripped by fear, were hit by stone bullets, their brains burst, their arms and legs broken, or they were hit by mud bullets and fainted, while the lucky ones were only hit by mud bullets and howled like wolves and ghosts, but they could still run away quickly.

Xu Shilian closed his eyes, unable to bear to watch. The officers and soldiers of the Ruzhou Camp beside him glared at Li Zhao and others with their eyes blazing. The militia's good intelligence, they pitted the Ruzhou Camp badly!

In the dozens of angry eyes, cold sweat dripped down from the foreheads of Li Zhao and others. God has mercy on them. They really didn't know that the Chen family could have six homemade cannons. This is a cannon, not a bird gun! !

Many powerful families in Ruzhou have the latter, but homemade cannons have long withdrawn from the historical stage of Ruzhou. Who would have thought that the Chen family would take out six at once? ? ?

Retreat! This war cannot be so big, retreat is necessary.

Xu Shilian did not show anger when he returned to the camp, but immediately thundered. Although he immediately found the captain who led the escape and was lucky enough to be hit by two mud bullets but only had two bruises on his body.

"Mud bullet!?"

In the entire military tent, a group of officers in the Ruzhou camp all raised big "?" above their heads. Why is this?

"Sir, is the Chen family unwilling to take on the blood feud with us?"

After thinking about it, the group of people only thought of this reason that could not be put on the surface, which was still a reasonable inference. The Chen family was unwilling to take on a deadly feud with the Ruzhou Camp! ! Otherwise, when the Chen family fired their cannons, they only needed to replace the mud bombs with gravel, and the fifty or so people that the Ruzhou Camp had deployed in this attack would probably be almost wiped out.

"Sir!"

The air pressure in the military tent rose a little bit, and only the captain kneeling on the ground was still pale. He was the leader of the escape. If Xu Shilian was cruel enough, he could just chop him.

The quilt-like door curtain was opened, and a soldier came in and reported anxiously: "Sir, the thieves opened the gate, pushed all six shield carts back, and captured people back."

The attacking troops who were beaten to a pulp by the six cannons of the Chen family had no kindness to care about the wounded and those who fainted. There were also the volunteers like Liang Zhiqiang who were scared and huddled under the shield carts. All of them became prisoners of the Chen family. There were also a large number of swords and guns, which the Chen family had to deal with.

When Xu Shilian rushed to the artillery fort from the camp, Li Zhao, Xu Pengqiu and other militia leaders also arrived. Everyone looked at the Chen family with embarrassment as they openly collected prisoners, wounded soldiers, swords and guns, and even a group of people were changing the city gates.

The east gate of Fenghuangtai was blocked tightly with stones from inside, and the original gate had long been blown up by the Qing army's artillery shells. After this battle, Chen Ming felt that Ruzhou Camp had also learned a lesson. Considering that he needed to contact the Qing army more in the next two days, he couldn't sit in a hanging basket or move stones every time he went out, so he asked someone to repair the gate. Chen Ming was very confident in the military power of Fenghuangtai. Even if his plan didn't work out in the end, would Ruzhou Camp and the militia dare to touch the Chen family's tiger whiskers again?

While Chen's army was swaggering outside to collect the spoils, Chen Ming was interrogating the captured volunteers, militiamen and Green Camp soldiers. Liang Zhiqiang lay on the ground like a boneless insect, and said whatever he was asked.

There were 400 Green Camp soldiers, and the rest were militiamen who were conscripted with the army. Tumenji was safe and sound. After the militia suffered a big loss at Fenghuangtai, they dared not act arrogantly in Tumenji again. Ruzhou Camp had just arrived, and it was said that there was no trouble in Tumenji.

Ruzhou Camp dragged two cannons. He didn't know the specific ammunition, but it was true that Ruzhou Camp only had two small cannons.

In the evening, a Green Camp soldier with a white gauze wrapped on his head limped out of Fenghuangtai. This unlucky Green Camp soldier, who was dizzy and bleeding from the mud bullet, limped to the artillery fort and said a few words, and was carried to the camp by the chief officer of the artillery fort.

Xu Shilian looked at the envelope in his hand with a serious expression. He waved his hand to let the wounded soldier go down to rest, and then opened the envelope after a while. Thousands of thoughts went through his mind, but he finally succumbed to reality.

The content of the letter was as Xu Shilian expected. The Chen family was willing to "hide in Funiushan honestly". Ruzhou Camp and the militia could announce to the outside world that they had broken the main force of the Chen family, and only a few remnants of the Chen family escaped into Funiushan. As long as Ruzhou could acquiesce to the existence of the Chen family, the Chen family promised not to cause any trouble to the state government. In addition, dozens of heads could be given to Ruzhou Camp to take credit, and a sum of money could be given as "reward".

This condition was sincere, and Xu Shilian was very tempted, because Fenghuangtai was too difficult to bite. Thinking about the price he had to pay to take Fenghuangtai, he softened. But to do this well, Xu Shilian had to communicate with Wang Jun, Li Zhao, Chang Rui, etc.

The battle was ugly, so it had to be like this. Do we really want to ask the governor's office to transfer soldiers from Nanyang? Is that necessary? If we can make a big deal out of a small matter, can't we just keep building it up? At most, it will be a larger Qingtiaoling!

Hanzhong, Yunyang, Xiangxi, Sichuan, there are many places in the Qing Dynasty that do not obey the law. One more Chen family is not much! This is also the "rule" of local officials.

Chen Ming was waiting for Xu Shilian's reply in Fenghuangtai, but he also knew that this matter would not be ok in one or two days. If Li Xiaomei's birth was not on his mind, Chen Ming would be very patient to wait here. But the problem is that there is Li Xiaomei, his wife is about to give birth, Chen Ming is waiting, anxious and angry, his temper is rising!

Time passed day by day.

The two Weiyuan general cannons of the Qing army had long stopped firing, and the two sides fell into a silent war again. It's just that the air pressure in Fenghuangtai and the Qing army camp is equally low, especially on October 12, the cold air coming out of Chen Ming's body can make people shiver even three feet away. Because this day is the day when Li Xiaomei is pregnant for a full month. But he must be nailed to Fenghuangtai and cannot move a step.

As for the low air pressure in the Qing army camp, that's normal, because they lost the battle. Not only is the air pressure low here, but the morale is also very low.

On the same day, in the Lushan County Office, Chang Rui welcomed the arrival of the three big figures, Wang Zhizhou, Li Zhoutong and Xu Dusi, with the most enthusiastic hospitality. After the four parties drank this meal, it was equivalent to reaching an agreement. But the smile on Chang Rui's face never reached his eyes. When he returned to the backyard, the smile on his face immediately turned into a fierce and ferocious look.

Wang Jun, Li Zhao, and Xu Shilian, these three bastards, the power of the whole state can't even beat a small Chen family, and they still want to negotiate with them to reach a tacit understanding and settle this matter. Where do these three bastards put the majesty of the court and the dignity of officials?

"Wait!" Chang Rui's eyes flashed with a compelling light.
