Chapter 1102 The Son's First Expedition

In the fifth year of the Xia calendar, Emperor Xia came to the throne, and the world was basically stable, so he worked hard to enrich the warehouse.

However, in the past, when the Central Plains was divided among the lords and various princes fought, there were many refugees and remnants in various counties and counties. Some mountain people or rogues built docks to hide from the world, unwilling to pay taxes to the government, or hated the Chutian forces.

Hanzhong, Qinling. Six or seven years ago, this place was one of the main battlefields of the forces of Chutian and Liu Bei, and there are still deserted forts and forts in the Qinling Mountains.

"In the Qinling area, there are at least hundreds of thousands of mountain people and bandits. They may be subordinates of the former King Qin, Zhang Dao, Liu Bei, and Yang Su. For various reasons, they hated our government and caused disaster. If these mountains can be subdued The people and the rogues, firstly, can enrich the population and provide corvee service; secondly, they can put down the bandits.”

A group of soldiers and horses marched in the Qinling Mountains. There were about 2,000 people, of which 700 were elite high-level soldiers, and the other thousand were county soldiers in Nanzheng County to maintain law and order.

Seven hundred people fell into the camp, and the leader, Gao Shun, was ordered to follow the prince to fight against the bandits.

Chu Wu, who was sixteen years old, wore black armor and held a spear in his hand.

This is the first time he has been ordered to go out.

As the crown prince, he is destined to learn to lead the army to fight.

Before competing with the famous generals, the first task Chu Wu accepted was to crusade against the bandits and gain experience with the bandits.

In order to ensure Chu Wu's safety, Empress Xia Liang arranged Gao Shun's camp to protect Chu Wu.

As for Chutian...

"Father went to participate in the dungeon battle, and has not come back until now..."

Chu Wu knew that his father was going to participate in the epic battle, and his mother was temporarily regent.

This time the epic battle seems to be a bit difficult, Chu Tian has disappeared for two months.

"Before the royal father returns, this task must be completed perfectly."

Chu Wu knew that this expedition was a test for himself.

In order to train Chu Wu, the two thousand soldiers and horses did not have a military division.

Gao Shun is just faithfully carrying out orders, not a military adviser.

Zhang Wei, the captain of Nanzheng County, was the younger brother of Zhang Lu, who led the national soldiers of Nanzheng County.

Only Gao Shun and Zhang Wei accompanied Chu Wu on the expedition? Such a lineup is already very poor for the status of the prince? He can only complete the task with his own ability.

Zhang Wei was also a little surprised, because the prince only brought 700 people to fight against the bandits, plus his county soldiers, it may not be possible to successfully fight against the bandits.

Among the bandits, there are many brave ones.

Although these bandits may not be historical military generals, the force of some ordinary bandit leaders may reach 70 or even 80.

Bandit leaders are generally high in martial arts and low in command? It may not be possible to lead troops to fight, but it is possible to launch a surprise attack by force and kill the captain who came to crusade.

Zhang Wei said to Chu Wu: "His Royal Highness, are there bandits in the Qinling Mountains? Many of them used to be soldiers from Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and Shu counties? In the counties of Hanzhong, four captains have been killed in the past five years."

Chu Wu's face was serious.

It seems that the task of crusading bandits is easy, but it is not.

There are nine counties under Hanzhong County? Each county has a captain who is responsible for managing public security?

The bandits in Hanzhong County may be the remnants of the former Yang Su, or other remnants and defeated generals? They cannot be compared with ordinary bandits.

The various legions recuperated and recuperated? Didn't they go to war? The task of suppressing the bandits in each county was handed over to the prefects and captains of each county.

"No wonder my mother told me to be careful."

Chu Wu found that things were not that easy. He didn't come here for a simple cutscene, but wanted to fight the fierce bandits with real swords and guns.

A bandit cavalry standing on the hillside with many mountains and mountains, has already spotted Chu Wu and his party who have entered the mountain to encircle and suppress.

In a Wubao in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains, two bandit leaders gathered thousands of desperadoes, guarding the city and looting all over the place.

This Wubao was originally built by Liu Bei to prevent the Guanzhong Army from entering Hanzhong from the Qinling Mountains.

Later, Liu Bei surrendered, and the Wubao, which was originally used to garrison troops, was abandoned or occupied by bandits.

The two bandit leaders had burn scars on their faces, and their faces were hideous.

"Boss, the officers and soldiers of Nanzheng County have come to encircle and suppress again."

"They really don't know how to live or die. The last lieutenant was killed by us just now, and another one is coming."

"Boss, this time there are not only five hundred officers and soldiers, but about two thousand."

"It's strange. Could it be that it's not the soldiers of the county that sent troops to encircle us this time, but the Hanzhong Legion?"

The two bandit leaders knew that among the Yizhou Army, Commander Zhang Dao's Hanzhong Legion was stationed in Nanzheng County to accumulate food and grass, and rarely sent troops. Usually, it was just ordinary county soldiers who attacked the bandits.

A more cautious bandit leader said: "If it is the Hanzhong Army with 100,000 soldiers, we have no chance of winning, so it is better to avoid it for the time being."

"You think too much. If the Hanzhong Army sent troops, there would not be only 2,000 people. Moreover, even if the Hanzhong Army sent troops, only 2,000 people would come. With the abilities of the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and others, we may not be afraid. .”

"It's better to be careful, and gather the leaders of the Wubao in the Qinling Mountains to encircle and suppress this army. Don't they want to encircle and suppress us? This time let them have a taste of being encircled and suppressed."

"Then do as you say."

Soon the bandit cavalry galloped to summon the owners of other fortresses in the Qinling Mountains.

Fortress owners or rogues, as many as a thousand or as few as a hundred, were all alarmed when they learned that the officers and soldiers wanted to completely put down the rogues in the Qinling Mountains.

All the bandits gathered at the positions where the officers and soldiers were.

At this time, Chu Wu, Gao Shun, and Zhang Wei and their party were less than five miles away from the Wubao they wanted to attack.

"Father won't let me easily use 'break the boat and sink the boat', but rely on my own ability to resolve the crisis..."

Chu Wu possesses the SSS-level characteristic "Break the Boat", which can keep the legion at its peak within three days.

However, the feature of "Break the boat" has a one-year cooldown and should be used at critical moments.

"I have an ominous premonition."

Gao Shun, who had always been taciturn, suddenly said to Chu Wu and Zhang Wei.

Gao Shun has experienced many battles, has a keen intuition for danger, and quickly sensed that the danger was approaching.

Chu Wu was a little flustered at this time, thinking of the teachings of several teachers: "Divide into eight teams of scouts, with three people in each team, and explore five miles out!"

"yes!"

The low-level light cavalry went out to investigate, and bad news came one after another.

"There are a large number of rogues around. It seems that all the rogues nearby have been alarmed. The troops we brought seem to be a little less."

Zhang Wei finally understood why the previous captain led 500 troops into the mountain to encircle and suppress, but was killed by the bandits instead.

There may be thousands of rogues in this area!

"General Gao Shun, if the thieves are powerful, you must protect His Highness the Crown Prince to leave, and I will be responsible for ending the rear."

Zhang Wei realized that this time the crusade against the bandits might be surrounded by rogues, so he made a division of labor with Gao Shun in advance.

The taciturn Gao Shun nodded.

But he still has confidence in his camp.

Chu Wu commanded the camp in a strange way. After all, talking about war on paper is completely different from actual combat.

In the first battle, commanding two thousand people was already in a hurry.

Fortunately, it is forbidden to fall into the camp.

The rogues in the Qinling Mountains began to appear in the sight of Chu Wu, Zhang Wei, and Gao Shun.

The war horse neighed, the iron hooves rolled, and the horse thief swung the ring-shouldered knife, crossed the mountains, and appeared from all directions!

Two thousand officers and soldiers formed a square formation, guarding the four corners with carriages.

Chu Wu could see the vicious bandits on the horizon.

The bandits are densely packed, and there may be thousands of people, or even... tens of thousands of people.

Two bandit leaders came out of tens of thousands of bandits, armed with spears, and challenged the officers and soldiers.

Gao Shun also galloped out into battle, seeing the looks of the two bandit leaders, he, who was always calm, couldn't help being shocked.

Chu Wu asked: "Does General Gao Shun know them?"

Gao Shun replied: "They are Li Jue and Guo Si. During the Weibei battle, they fell into the Weishui River and disappeared. They escaped to the Qinling Mountains and turned into bandits."

"Li Jue, Guo Si..."

Chu Wu heard about his father's war. Li Jue and Guo Si were originally Dong Zhuo's generals, but they surrendered to Lao Qin. Chu Tian pacified the battle in Guanzhong and set fire in Weibei. His whereabouts are unknown.

Zhang Wei was sweating profusely. If it was the rogues led by Li Jue and Guo Si, then ordinary captains would not be able to attack them at all.

"It's Gao Shun? Gao Shun, you actually took refuge with Emperor Xia!"

Li Jue and Guo Si also recognized Gao Shun who came to attack, and their faces were livid.

Gao Shun and his camp charged forward and were invincible. Gao Shun came to attack. Although they had an absolute advantage in numbers, they might not be able to defeat Gao Shun.

"Who is that kid? Even Gao Shun is going to be his subordinate."

"He has an extraordinary background. If I kill him, I will just avenge the Wei River. My scar still hurts."

Li Jue and Guo Si were burned by Xia Jun's fire in the Battle of Weishui, which changed their personalities drastically and became more ferocious.

They have already seen that Chu Wu, who led Gao Shun and Zhang Wei to attack them, has a good identity.

Gao Shun, who is qualified to lead troops to fight at the age of sixteen, will serve as his lieutenant general...

"Maybe it's the Xia Emperor's son!"

"kill him!"

Li Jue and Guo Si guessed a possibility, which aroused their viciousness even more.

If it weren't for Chutian, the two of them would not have fallen to this point.

Under the leadership of Li Jue and Guo Si, tens of thousands of rogues attacked Chu Wu, Gao Shun, and Zhang Wei in the middle!

The arrows rain down, covering the sky and the sun!

Chu Wu drew out his green sword and faced the Wanliu bandits.

After Chu Wu was able to fight alone, Chu Tian gave him the Qingzhi Sword.

It's just that I didn't expect that the first expedition would cost two thousand to ten thousand.

"Li Jue, Guo Si...the number of rogues is still increasing...something is not good..."

Zhang Wei drew out his long sword, the hand holding the sword was trembling.

The rogues were densely packed, covering the entire valley.

It's good that he died, if His Royal Highness died in battle the first time, the entire empire would probably be shaken.
