Chapter 212 The Most Poisonous Milk in Ming Dynasty
The ox fell straight down, showing a stubbornness that would rather break than bend.

But Ou Zanghua didn't care, and said loudly: "Except for the leader, those who surrender will not be killed!"

The leaders were shocked and their eyes widened in disbelief.

No, sir, why don't you play by the rules? !
In the past, leaders who surrendered would be rewarded. Why did you change your mind?

Ling Xiao was also shocked by Ou Zanghua's words. He looked at the audience and saw that besides Niu Zhong, there were several other people with excellent skills. As long as they surrendered to the imperial court, they would be more than qualified to become a centurion!

He subconsciously advised: "Master Ou, talents are hard to come by!"

A man below raised his sword and shield and shouted, "This bastard official will not let us go. Brothers, fight together."

With a "crack", a heavy arrow pierced the man's neck, physically covering his mouth.

"What China lacks the least is talent. What it lacks is opportunities for people to display their talents," Ou Zanghua said calmly.

Ling Xiao opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute this for a moment, and could only utter: "Master Ou is right."

Many of the bandit soldiers turned their heads to look at the Minister of the Ministry of Rites standing on the city wall. Seeing him pull out another heavy arrow, he said calmly, "I will not repeat my words a second time."

As Ou Zanghua finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. The bandits looked back and saw Zuo Lengchan and others returning with the cavalry.

The horses and soldiers were covered in blood, some even had pieces of flesh hanging from their bodies, exuding a cold and iron-blooded aura.

"Your Excellency Lord Ou, my unit has completed the order and wiped out Liu Qi's cavalry!" Zuo Lengchan sat on his horse, bowed and said loudly.

With the help of his inner strength, the sound spread in all directions and could be heard clearly by the enemy troops.

At this moment, they knew they had no way to escape, so they dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Ou Zanghua put away his bow and arrows, and said calmly: "Pass the order down, all the bandit leaders who kill innocent people will be beheaded! Those who rape and plunder will be beheaded!"

"Yes!"

Deng Bagong trembled and responded subconsciously. This was the first time he saw Lord Ou being so indifferent to other people's lives.

You should know that when suppressing bandits in Jiangxi, Lord Ou treated Wang Chenger, Wang Haoba and others with a friendly attitude and even asked for credit for them.

Why did things become different when it came to Liu Qibu?
Behind Ou Zanghua, the eunuch commander was writing furiously: Niu Zhong was the leader of the infantry of the Liu Liu and Liu Qi bandit army, and he was as brave as an evildoer. At that time, there were nearly 10,000 infantrymen of the bandit army, and in the chaos, Zanghua shot three arrows, killing Niu Zhong. The enemies were frightened and surrendered!

After thinking about it, he felt that it was not powerful enough, so he added: The guest official defeated the enemy army with three arrows, and the soldiers sang as they entered Li Pass.

perfect!

Entering the Lixian County Government Office, Zuo Lengchan walked in holding Liu Qi, and with one hand, he pressed him down to half-kneel on the ground.

Then he bowed and saluted, "Sir, this man is the bandit Liu Qi!"

Ou Zanghua raised his eyes to look at the man. He had phoenix eyes, drooping eyebrows, curly beard and dark skin. He looked quite good, but it was a pity that he was an unforgivable person.

"Bah, you dog official!" Liu Qi spat and looked at Ou Zanghua with disdain.

"Suppress him and don't let him escape. Escort him back to the capital on a chosen day and hand him over to His Majesty for punishment. He spoke a little dirty. Uncle Zuo will deal with it." Ou Zanghua smiled, his tone calm.

“Yes!” Zuo Lengchan responded. Before Liu Qi could say something, Zuo Lengchan hit him on the back of the neck with a palm and he fainted.

Then he was carried out like a dead dog.

At the same time, on the plain outside Boye County, Liu Liu's troops finally had a head-on confrontation with Qiu Yue's troops.

At five o'clock in the morning, the Three Thousand Camp prepared meals, provided meals for the soldiers and fodder for the horses.

All the soldiers silently prepared their equipment, loaded their long-handled iron guns with gunpowder, then mounted their horses and silently followed behind the centurion. Qiu Yue rode a big horse, standing at the highest point, overlooking the bandit army in front.

Sanhe rode up to report: "General, I have received a reply from Censor Peng and Ou Keqing. The Taiyuan Second Guards led by Censor Peng have arrived in Shulu County, and Ou Keqing has wiped out Liu Qi's group and captured Liu Qi alive."

"Very good!" Qiu Yue nodded, looking at the enemy army camp in the distance and said, "Ou Keqing has taken the lead, and we can't fall too far behind."

He looked back at the assembled 3,000 troops and said loudly, "We are here for only one thing. That is to fight bravely and wipe out the bandits! Whoever kills the leader will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. Whoever kills Qi Yanming will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver! Whoever kills Liu Liu will be given an official title!"

"cut!"

"cut!"

"cut!"

After hearing this, the soldiers of the Three Thousand Camp's eyes suddenly lit up. That wasn't an enemy army; that was a royal road for them to make a fortune!
"Kill!" Qiu Yue shouted loudly and rushed out first.

The soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion rode their horses to follow without hesitation, their muskets held horizontally, their horses' hooves making the wind, their manes flying, their shiny swords reflecting cold rays of light, and the shouts of the cavalry and the sound of their galloping horses resounding throughout the earth.

"Here they come!" Qi Yanming became nervous as he looked at the three thousand soldiers from the camp who were rushing in like a flood.

"Afraid of a bird!"

Liu Liu shouted, "Zhao Si and Liu Neng, go around to the left and right! Zhou Wu and Zheng Qi, raise your shields and move forward to block them!"

As Liu Liu's orders were passed down one by one, the rebel army began to mobilize. The two cavalry battalions, led by Zhao Si and Liu Neng, ran to both sides, forming a pocket, as if they wanted to put the entire 3,000-strong battalion in it.

However, they were facing Qiu Yue, a fierce man who had been fighting against the Mongolian Tartars for many years.

When they approached the square formation formed by the infantry battalion, the muskets in their hands made crackling sounds and shot down the archers who had just appeared. Then the soldiers in the middle threw out a large number of thunder bombs under the blessing of inertia.

Before the rebel soldiers could see clearly what it was, the thunder bomb suddenly exploded, and a large number of iron beads and iron pieces flew out, injuring the surrounding rebel soldiers and causing them to wail.

Qiu Yue rode his horse around a corner and caught up with Zhao Si's troops on the right. With a flick of his spear, he took the lives of several bandits.

Seeing Qiu Yue fighting with Zhao Si's army, Liu Liu couldn't help but sneer, "Humph! I have a great general named Zhao Si, who is so powerful that no one can stand against him. Qiu Yue has picked the wrong opponent!"

Zhao Si rode on his horse, raised his sword and slashed at Qiu Yue, wondering how this powerful Ming general would deal with this attack.

However, Qiu Yue didn't care about Zhao Si at all. He stabbed Zhao Si in the heart with a gun, and his movements were as fast as lightning. Before Zhao Si could draw his knife to block, Qiu Yue stabbed him through.

When Qi Yanming saw this scene, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Liu Liu was also stunned, and immediately said disdainfully: "Humph, Zhao Si was just careless! I still have General Liu Neng, who has fought with me for many years, and he kills thousands of households like slaughtering dogs."

On the battlefield, Liu Neng didn't know that Zhao Si had been killed in an instant. He led the cavalry to attack from one side, trying to attack Zhao Si from both sides.

Qiu Yue looked at Liu Neng who was charging at him, raised his spear to block his Guandao, and at the moment when the horses passed by him, he turned around and chopped Liu Neng off his horse.

The three thousand soldiers behind him raised their long-handled iron guns and smashed them down. Some of the bandits were knocked off their horses, while others reacted quickly and blocked the attacks with their weapons.

But what the bandits did not expect was that the soldiers of the Three Thousand Camp would simply throw away their long-handled iron guns, take out the single swords that were previously fixed on their horses, and continue to attack the next bandit.

Liu Liu was stunned, and said in a cold voice: "I also have the fierce general Zhang Yi, who is brave enough to fight against ten thousand men! And the tiger general Niu Zhong, who is strong enough to lift a tripod."

"Brother, brother, stop for a moment."

Qi Yanming quickly stopped Liu Liu and said, "Don't fucking say that!"
