The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

into the night.

It was still early, Liu Sheng did not fall asleep, but was dealing with some things.

There are matters in the expeditionary army, in the suburbs of Jiaoxi, and telegrams sent by Liu Rui.

At this moment, Zheng Sen was reporting to him on the situation of recruiting immigrants during the day.

"More than a thousand victims have registered today and are willing to move overseas, accounting for about one-fifth of the victims outside Jiaoxi City."

"Now everyone has moved into the immigration camp and preliminary reorganization has been carried out. Five households are in one group, ten households are in one team, and fifty households are in one team."

"Here are the files of useful talents. Would your Majesty want to read them?"

Liu Sheng nodded and said: "Put it here first. I will look at it when I have time."

"Yes. Wei Chen is resigning."

After saying that, Zheng Sen withdrew.

Speaking of which, although Liu Sheng abdicated the throne and became the Supreme Emperor in Da'ei, the expeditionary force and related personnel who followed him to Dachu still called him "Your Majesty."

One is due to habit. Secondly, everyone knows that Liu Sheng is likely to establish another country here in the future.

Not long after Zheng Sen left, Ye Jianan, the leader of the Xunfeng Guards, called to see him.

After coming in and saluting, Ye Jianan said directly: "Your Majesty, there is news from the informants in the city that Yan Qing will attack us tomorrow."

"He borrowed a thousand Chu troops from Lingshan Guards and Fushan Guards. Together with the patrol battalions, government officials and large-scale armed forces in Jiaoxi City, he could have about two thousand troops."

Xunfengwei has been operating in Dachu for several years and now has many informants.

Liu Sheng, as a maritime merchant, came to Jiaoxi to be a good person to help the victims, and there were deep reasons.

It can be said that Yan Qing would keep an eye on his "wealth" and even choose to borrow troops from Lingshan Guard and Fushan Guard, which was all within his expectation.

Therefore, he was not surprised after hearing Ye Jianan's words. He laughed and said, "Then let's all act according to plan A."

"Yes!"

···
The next day.

afternoon.

Huang Yi, the garrison of the Jiaoxi Patrol Battalion, led more than 300 patrol battalion soldiers and more than 100 yamen cadres, and gathered about 500 people. After leaving the South City Gate, they went straight to the camp built by the Liu family outside the city.

At the same time, the Chu troops of Lingshan Guard and Fushan Guard who were "lurking" nearby as promised also surrounded the Liu family's camp.

In the past few days, Yan Qing not only found out the "informative details" of Liu Sheng, but also found out that Liu Sheng, most of his entourage and guards were staying in the simple camp in the south.

The so-called "capture the thief and capture the king", since Yan Qing wanted to get Liu Sheng's wealth, he naturally had to capture Liu Sheng.

As a result, 1,500 Chu troops surrounded Liu's camp.

There was an immigration camp near Liujiaying Village, and a refugee camp further away. Because it was closer to the city, the approaching Chu army was discovered first.

Suddenly, the victims became panicked.

Although the military discipline of the Chu army during this period was not as corrupt as that of the Ming army in the late Ming Dynasty, it was not much better. Although it was still rare to kill good people and take credit, it was not uncommon to take the opportunity to rob the people.

What's more, these Chu troops were obviously heading towards Liu's camp, and Liu Sheng was now the benefactor of the victims' lives, but he was being dealt with by the army. How could they not panic?

The brave people immediately shouted.

"The officers and soldiers are coming!"

In fact, these people did not need to remind them that the "guards" of Liu's camp had long seen the Chu army surrounding them and were already ready.

Huang Yi didn't care.

In his opinion, as long as Liu Sheng didn't get the news in advance and run away, he would be able to complete the mission today.

As for the hundreds of guards under Liu Sheng, he would indeed be a little wary if he only had more than 300 soldiers from the Jiaoxi Patrol Battalion.

But now he has a thousand guardsmen to help him, and he is on land. How can he be afraid of a few hundred pirates?
After feeding pigs to Liu's camp with the Wei Suo army, Huang Yi shouted loudly.

"Pirates Liu Sheng, something happened to you! Now you are surrounded by more than two thousand officers and soldiers including us. If you know what you are looking for, you can surrender and be captured, and you can avoid the pain of flesh and blood!"

"If we wait for us to break through the camp, not to mention the lack of sight, you may die. Even if you are captured alive, you will also be severely tortured!"

Huang Yi shouted this confidently, thinking that even if Liu Sheng didn't surrender, he would come forward and say a few words to make him sure that Liu Sheng was in the camp.

Unexpectedly, the camp seemed to be empty. At this time, Huang Yi noticed that the fence of the camp was as tall as one person. Outside, he only saw many tents set up inside, but no one could be seen.

'Could it be that the person has run away? '

Huang Yi felt suspicious.

He is most afraid of this situation - although pirates roam the sea, they also like to bury their spies in coastal cities. Therefore, it is possible that Liu Sheng learned about their attack in advance.

Thinking of this, Huang Yi immediately signaled a group of patrol battalion soldiers to go in and check.

Although the patrol battalion soldiers were a little scared, they still walked in cautiously.

When all fifty people entered, shouts and slashing sounds soon came from the camp.

"not good!"

"There's an ambush!"

"kill!"

"Help!"

Not long after these sounds started, they disappeared.

Obviously, all the soldiers from the patrol battalion died inside.

Huang Yi's face looked extremely ugly.

"Liu Sheng!" he shouted loudly, "I have given you the opportunity, but I didn't expect you to be stubborn and kill officers and soldiers!"

Then he said to the ordering soldier beside him: "Send my military order to break through the bandit camp! Whoever captures the pirate Liu Sheng alive will be heavily rewarded!"

As Huang Yi's order was conveyed, the remaining patrol battalion soldiers and guard troops attacked Liu's camp from three directions at the same time.

Most of the soldiers in the patrol battalion mainly use bows, arrows and spears. Only a few dozen are equipped with matchlocks, and dozens more are equipped with swords, making them the "elite" of the patrol battalion.

The Chu troops in the two guard posts each had about two hundred men equipped with matchlocks, and the rest were sword players, spearmen, and archers.

As for the artillery, there were none.

The two guard stations did have artillery such as the Crouching Tiger Cannon, but they were either secretly sold by the officers of the guard station, or they were broken and could only be used as decorations.

Even if there are one or two that can be used, they do not think that artillery is needed to wipe out hundreds of pirates on land with absolutely superior force.

The same is true for the patrol camp. There are several small-caliber general cannons at the head of Jiaoxi City, but they are too lazy to bring them.

Therefore, at this time, these Chu troops rushed directly to the camp, preparing to storm in.

As a result, when they were a hundred steps closer, cannon muzzles suddenly popped up from the gaps in the camp fence.

"artillery?!"

Seeing the large number of cannon muzzles, the Chu army that rushed over suddenly felt numb and turned around to run away!
But it's too late.

Boom boom boom...

A series of cannon fire sounded, and these Chu troops were immediately blown to pieces, with broken limbs flying, and then blood flowed into rivers.

Seeing that the Chu troops collapsed after just one round of shelling, the "Liu family guards" immediately rushed out of the camp in groups, firing with guns.

Bang bang bang...

There was a continuous sound of crisp gunfire, and the fleeing Chu troops fell one after another.

Except for a few clever ones who lay down and pretended to be dead, or lay down and surrendered, only two to three hundred people escaped in the end.

And this battle ended within ten minutes.

People in nearby immigration and refugee camps were shocked when they saw this scene.

Zhao Zhenwen stood by the fence of the immigration camp, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

In his eyes, the Da Chu army had always been invincible - after all, the army had muskets and artillery, but ordinary bandits could not even equip themselves with cold weapons.

But now, Liu Dashan's guards not only have guns, but also artillery, and they seem to be much more sophisticated than the army's guns.

In this battle, hundreds of people almost annihilated one or two thousand Chu officers and soldiers! (End of chapter)
