At the same time, the troops led by Guan Zhong in the middle were harassed by bandits.

They went to Songyang County as planned, and they also took the mountain road, which was even more difficult than Lu Wenxuan.

In particular, the bandits in this mountain do not know which tendon is wrong, and they are attacking and harassing them along the way.

Fire arrows, dig traps, block roads with stones. Various means emerge in an endless stream.

These means can not cause any fatal blow to the Chinese army, but they can cause them a lot of trouble.

These bandits are more difficult to deal with than the Ming army.

There are not many bandits, there are less than 200 in total.

But they are very familiar with the terrain here and are very nimble in the mountains.

As long as Guan Zhong is a little careless, he will be attacked by bandits.

The bandit's sneak attack did not bring much loss to the Hua army, but the continuous sneak attack made the Hua army very demoralized.

"These idiots who don't know what to do, I will find their lair and destroy them if I am in a hurry."

Guan Zhong cursed angrily.

They were attacked by bandits just now, and the bandits fired dozens of rockets at them.

Three soldiers were shot dead, and then some supplies were burned. At the same time, the Chinese army was thrown into chaos for a while.

Even himself, because he avoided an arrow, he fell into a one-meter-deep ravine. Not only stained clothes, but also messed up hair.

"I estimate that they may have reached some kind of cooperation with the Ming army, so they spared no effort to help the Ming army. We don't need to care about them. When we go out of the mountain, we take Songyang and defeat the main force of the Ming army. The wallhead grass will naturally dare not come back to do wrong with us in the future."

A company commander analyzed.

He didn't want Guan Zhong to really look for the thief's den under an impulse, it would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Suppressing bandits is impossible without anyone leading the way.

Moreover, their mission is not to suppress bandits, such a thing will be settled after the world is settled.

"It's better to be in the first army. The north is all plains, and the road is unobstructed. We suffered in the south. We were not killed by the enemy, and we had to die of exhaustion just by climbing the mountain."

Guan Zhong complained.

He was originally a scholar, and was preparing to take the imperial examinations to become a civil servant.

However, because Wu Changqing was more partial to the army and delayed the imperial examination, his family forced him to join the army.

Only when you join the army can you hope to be awarded a title by military merit. Taking the imperial examination is now a third-rate choice in the Dahua Empire.

The first-class people have gone to engage in scientific research, with titles and money.

The second is to join the army, with status, status and rights.

The worst option is to take the imperial examinations to become a civil servant. Although there is a bit of power, you have to do things carefully.

Guan Zhong was still a good candidate. He spent two months studying military theory in the military academy, and finally placed second in the same period in the final assessment, and was directly parachuted into a battalion commander.

This start is higher than 99% of people.

He originally expected to be assigned to the First Army in the north, but was assigned to the south, which was the only thing he was not satisfied with.

After a while, the people who went to expel the bandits came back.

They did not dare to chase too deep for fear of getting lost.

After returning to the team, they continued their journey.

Ahead, in the jungle.

The bandit leader Li Ke and the second master, the three of them sat together and worried.

Even though they created a lot of trouble for Hua Jun along the way, Hua Jun had nothing to do with them, but it was useless.

The Hua army is still advancing. If they can't drag the Hua army in this mountain, then they will not be able to complete the task, and they will not be able to get the government's bounty.

"Brother, why don't we ambush them and let the brothers kill them."

The suggestion of the three masters said.

His words made Li Ke feel very embarrassed. He really wanted to tell his third brother that people who are stupid should talk less, otherwise it will be easy to make jokes.

There were less than 200 people in total, and they went to ambush a team of 1,000 people.

Moreover, they are just a group of thieves who bully the weak and fear the strong, but the opposite is a well-trained army.

As long as there is a head-on battle between the two sides, they have to be completely defeated without three rounds.

Li Ke is well aware of the gap between his side and the army, because he was once a member of the army and even served as a leader in the army.

Because the battlefield was too tragic, he was afraid of death, so he took a few of the same people who were greedy for life and feared death as deserters, fled to this mountain, and became a bandit.

No matter how greedy they are, they still have formal training and experience in wars. It is much more powerful than other bandits, and soon integrated the surrounding forces to form a big bandit force.

Being a bandit is much more comfortable than being a soldier, because the target of bullying is the common people, and there is no danger.

Even if they encounter the housekeepers of the big landlords, they can prevail.

But when encountering officers and soldiers, or the army, they can only rely on this mountain to roam around and never dare to confront each other head-on.

Therefore, Li Ke never thought of going to a large-scale war with the Chinese army.

His original plan was to keep harassing and angering the generals of the Huajun.

As long as the generals of the Hua army can chase after him to kill, then his strategy will be successful.

The ability to walk around in the mountains, he thinks he can throw a few streets away from the Chinese army.

It's a pity that now Hua Jun is not fooled, and Li Ke can't.

"This money is not easy to earn, I think we should continue to do our own business."

Rick sighed.

"Why, I think they are all cowards, and they don't dare to chase after us despite our constant harassment. As long as we rush over, they will surely be killed without leaving behind."

The three masters said.

He was still thinking about the promise of the government, which was one thousand taels of silver, and they had to rob a dozen times to get so much money.

Now, just one vote is all it takes.

"You are too underestimated by the army. I have already decided to withdraw."

Li Ke complained, if it wasn't for the bravery of the third master, who always took the lead every time there was a tough battle, he wouldn't take it seriously at all.

The big boss said something, and the third boss was dissatisfied and couldn't do anything about it.

After that, they continued to harass the Xiahua Army on a small scale, and then withdrew to their old nest.

After this arduous march, Guan Zhong finally left the mountain and arrived at Songyang.

Seeing the arrival of the Hua army, the defenders in Songyang immediately fled and fled. They didn't have any resistance at all. They were even more useless than those bandits.

The defenders of Songyang were also helpless.

A city wall less than three meters high such as Songyang seemed like nothing in front of Hua Jun.

Those flintlock troops went to the next stop in the city, and no one on the city wall dared to raise their heads.

The three-meter-high city wall, the grenadiers of the Chinese army can easily throw grenades on it.

The city wall of such a small county has completely lost its defense ability when facing the Chinese army.
