Chapter 64: Done, Ending [Three Updates] [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

December fifteenth.

The head of Ye County and the commander of the southern Houguan Commandery, together with the leader of the Minyue, Black Panther, raised the flag of rebellion.

More than 30,000 Minyue mountain people led more than 40,000 Han people to respond, and the momentum was so huge that it was said to be 100,000.

December 18th.

Zhu Jun led his troops to Ye County. There were more than a hundred boats and flags covering the sky. It was difficult to keep a low profile.

Fortunately, the top leaders of the rebel army did not notice it. The three leaders had just finished a banquet and were still drunk.

A small leader saw the fleet marching into the Minjiang River and about to enter the port, only to realize something was wrong.

As soon as the small leader gave the order to stop the attack, a bloody knife tip appeared on his chest. Looking back before his death, he saw the ruthless younger brother he had just recruited a few days ago.

Bai Shi gently wiped the blood off his face, turned his hat over to reveal the two colorful feathers, and shouted from a high place: "Follow me to occupy the port!"

Three teams of 800 people who had sneaked into the city long ago responded one after another, put on white sleeves, drew their swords and hacked down the guards near the port.

They rushed into the port with great fanfare, and many Han and mountain people followed.

Upon seeing this, Bai Shi turned around and led his men to launch a surprise attack.

There were screams and pleas for mercy, but Bai Shi was like a ruthless killing machine, killing anyone who dared to stay there.

For a moment, no one dared to step forward.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Jin Maocai came from afar with a hundred guards, just in time for Zhu Jun to get off the boat.

Jin Mao jumped off his horse and quickly came to Zhu Jun, clasping his fists and bowing: "Greetings, General!"

Zhu Jun nodded and asked, "How is the situation?"

Jinmao quickly explained the general situation.

Before Zhu Jun could say anything, Tang Mao on the side could not help but yell, "How dare the County Magistrate of Ye and the Southern Houguan Commander to go along with the thieves!"

Afterwards, Tang Mao clasped his fists and apologized: "I failed to discipline my subordinates. Please punish me, General!"

Nanbu Houguan was a subordinate of Nanbu Duwei, and was not a superior or subordinate to Tang Mao. He said this just to get away with it.

Of course Zhu Jun understood. As long as he could suppress the rebellion, it would be a great success and he would gain both fame and fortune.

Zhu Jun took advantage of the situation and did Tang Mao a favor: "This battle was entirely thanks to the subordinates of Tang County Governor. What crime have they committed?"

"The military situation is urgent, we will talk about it later!" Zhu Jun gave the order directly: "The enemy has not noticed yet, this is a great opportunity for our army."

"Divide the troops into three groups and meet up in Ye County."

Originally, Jinmao wanted to stay at the back and provide assists or something.

Unexpectedly, when Zhu Jun saw that Bai Shi, a subordinate of Jin Mao, was so brave, he let Jin Mao lead the group as well.

The other two routes were led by Zhu Hao with 1,500 private soldiers as the vanguard, and the remaining 1,500 private soldiers mixed with county and state soldiers as the central army, advancing steadily.

In Zhu Jun's opinion, there was no suspense in this battle, so it was better to fight quickly and decide the outcome quickly so that he could report back as soon as possible.

However, there is a price to pay for underestimating the enemy.

After the initial turmoil, the rebels regrouped and began to gather men, and soon Min Yue gathered more than 20,000 people.

The rebel army was divided into two parts. The Minyue troops went out of the city and took the main road to meet the enemy, while the Han people defended the city and waited for an opportunity to act.

Zhu's private soldiers were indeed elite, but they were exhausted from the long journey and had no time to rest. They launched the attack right after getting off the boat, and any of them would have been in poor condition.

Zhu Hao encountered a difficult problem as he ran into the rebels head-on. The Minyue mountain people were ferocious and fearless of death.

For a moment, its sharpness was blocked.

Zhu Hao was not rescued until Zhu Jun arrived with his central army.

After a rough count, more than half of the 1,500 private soldiers were killed or wounded, which made Zhu Jun very sad.

Although the rebels suffered greater casualties, roughly estimated to be as high as 4,000, in Zhu Jun's eyes they were not as important as his private soldiers.

So the two armies confronted each other.

Zhu Jun began to back down and planned to set up camp and take the long view.

the other side.

Jin Mao led his men to take small paths and mountain roads, just in time to avoid the main force of the Min Yue army, and also watched a big show on the top of the mountain.

Once again refreshed the impression of Zhu family's private soldiers.

Zhu Hao was not very good at leading troops, and the terrain he chose for combat was also not good. There were mountains on the left and the Minjiang River on the right, so his soldiers could not form an attack formation.

At that time, Jinmao felt that Zhu Hao was going to suffer a great loss.

The fact was similar. If the Zhu family's private soldiers were not strong enough, Zhu Jun's youngest son would have died here. Later, Jin Mao saw the confrontation between the two sides and was so anxious that he scratched his head.

Because he saw that Min Yue had been frightened and was only one step away from collapse.

"What a great opportunity!"

If Zhu Jun defeats Min Yue here, Jin Mao can go down the mountain to provide assists.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

There is no other way, Jinmao can only find a way to create a miracle.

This time, Zhu Jun seemed to have 30,000 shi of food and fodder, but in fact, he only had 10,000 shi of food, and more than 3,000 shi were consumed on the way here.

In other words, there are less than 7,000 shi of grain left, and based on the daily consumption of about 400 shi, it can only last for 15 days!
The time that can actually be used for fighting is only ten days at most!
There are five days of food left for use during retreat.

"Gong Lei can use guerrilla warfare. As the orthodox successor, shouldn't I be more proficient in it?"

Jin Mao began to think: "It's useless to go to the county now. As long as we defeat this Minyue, the county will fall by itself."

He then ordered his men to rest on the spot and eat some dry food.

He sat in the place with the best view and observed the movements of Min Yue.

"Black Panther has never read a military book. This camp is as messy as a garbage dump, with many loopholes."

This is too much. I have only recently read military books, and I don’t think I can even recognize the characters of Shanyue.

The sun is westward.

During this period, Zhu Jun sent several waves of exploratory attacks, but they were all blocked by the Minyue.

Jin Mao could see clearly that these Min Yue were like frightened birds, and they huddled together as if in stress reaction when they saw the enemy.

This kind of crowd is actually very easy to break through. The cavalry can just charge and they will be wiped out. Unfortunately, the cavalry can't charge.

Zhu Jun was unable to advance even a single step, but the morale of the Minyue rebels continued to rise.

"No, if we continue to fight, we're afraid we'll be counterattacked."

If Zhu Jun was defeated, everyone would be finished, and the first to die would definitely be Jin Mao.

"I have to think of a way."

Jin Mao accidentally caught a glimpse of the silent and cold Bai Shi and was overjoyed: "Haha! Got it!"

Bai Shi didn't understand, but he still grinned and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.

Jin Mao recalled his previous arrangements and asked Bai Shi to be the insider. When Zhu Jun landed, he suddenly rushed out and seized the port.

If you can be an insider once, you can do it twice!

As long as the Min Yue who gathered together were dispersed, Zhu Jun could lead his men to attack again and the enemy would surely be defeated.

"However, Shiraishi can no longer be the leader."

Jin Mao immediately gave orders and sent someone to inform Zhu Jun to launch a night attack.

On the other hand, they sent a Min Yue who had rarely appeared before, dressed in Bai Shi clothes and disguised themselves as a group of lost Shan Yue, and infiltrated the enemy camp.

When the time is right, both sides will bloom.

Jinmao just doesn’t believe that it can be stopped like this?
That night.

Fires broke out in various places in the rebel camp of Minyue. Bai Shi led 200 elite soldiers, hacking and killing, making everyone in Minyue feel insecure.

No longer dare to gather in a group.

Zhu Jun seized the opportunity and won the battle. The Minyue rebels were defeated and fled into the mountains.

When the chaos was the most severe, Bai Shi led his men into the mountains quietly. This was something Jin Mao had specifically instructed them to do.

Who knows whether the Zhu family's private soldiers, who are bloodthirsty, will mistake Bai Shi and others for Shanyue and kill them.

The battle lasted from midnight to dawn.

Zhu Jun led his troops in pursuit for dozens of miles until they stopped at the foot of the mountain.

By the time Jin Mao led his troops to meet Zhu Jun, the kind-hearted Han people had already killed the magistrate of Ye County and a number of other county officials, and were ready to welcome the army into the city.

Of course, there were also thousands of Han people who took the opportunity to cause chaos, and Zhu Jun wiped them out without hesitation, leaving no one alive.

In this battle, Zhu Jun beheaded more than 10,000 people and captured more than 5,000 Minyue people.

When the summary data was reported, several leaders unanimously agreed to exaggerate the military achievements, killing 30,000 enemies and capturing 50,000 prisoners.

The rebellion of the 100,000 Shanyue people came to a perfect end.
