"Swill!"

"Give it back to you!"

The bottle was stuffed back into the private soldier's hand again, and under the annoyed gaze of a large group of left soldiers, Wu Sangui staggered up to the general's platform, and even walked in front of Ma Shixiu.

Under the stunned gaze of those left soldiers, his opening remarks were also very unique.

"Brothers? Do you want to get rich?"

"Wu, what do you mean?"

On the first day Zuo Jun came, Wu Sangui and Zuo Menggeng fought face to face, and everyone was from the old Ming army, and there were even some people who had been thieves and fought against him. Immediately, someone shouted disrespectfully up.

Today, he has a surprisingly good temper. He didn't say anything angry at all. When he shook his head, Wu Sangui's voice actually rose, and he hummed full of ruffianism: "What are you doing? Let you blow up and make a fortune!"

Before he could make another sound from below, he had already counted with his fingers.

"Twenty taels of military salary a month. After buying two sets of clothes after eating and drinking, there are only five hundred yuan left. You can spend 100 taels a year, and even if you have the chance to go back, the current land price is only [-] acres of Susukida in Henan, and then you will face the loess with your back to the sky, and you will have to weigh it to buy a piece of meat!"

As he spoke, Wu Sangui spit again violently, and moaned with a sneer: "Rotten wine like swill!"

This is a bit exaggerated. If you have 100 taels of savings, you can become a small landlord, but what you said is that the Zuo Jun below is completely silent.

These people were all killed in the chaotic times during the Chongzhen period. They have not yet begun to enjoy the taste of peace like Beiming. OK.

Wu Sangui hit the sore spot of these soldiers.

If in later generations, Wu Sangui would not be a soldier, he would probably be a sales manager or a narrow leader, relegating a group of soldiers to the bottom, but immediately his voice became high-spirited.

"But this time, I will give you a way of making money! I won't lie to you! This way of making money is not easy. If you go there, you may lose your head. However, high risks are also high returns. I don't know how much money you can get." I know, but it’s enough for you bums to drink the strongest wine and smoke the best cigarettes. Does the empire in Hangzhou know that? Where are the well-dressed ladies and ladies who choose and sleep at will! Even if you memorize it to the extreme, Putting the dice and pushing the nine cards to lose the dish is enough for you to play for ten and a half days!"

A piece of fragrant pancake was presented in front of a group of Zuo soldiers with Wu Sangui's vivid words. Listening to his description, these grassroots bastards of various backgrounds swallowed heavily.

On the general platform, Wu Sangui immediately hooked his fingers again, and several old Guanning Army troops shoved a hapless native third elder brother onto the general platform tremblingly. In the curious eyes of the left army below, Wu Sangui went up to the general platform. Anti-a dozen big slaps were slapped in the past, and the teeth of those Zuo soldiers who were slapped with crackling sound were all sour.

The third brother, who was in his prime in his 20s, was also taken aback, he just threw himself on the ground in a daze, pointing at this guy, Wu Sangui yelled again in a glib manner.

"Look clearly, I'm going to do such a coward! I'm almost catching up with the philanthropist! If you have the courage to make some good friends, just go to the north gate of Dingwu Fort to gather with me. If you are willing to continue drinking slops, you can continue here Hold on! This bear is not worthy of getting rich, let's go!"

It’s really chic. After a speech, Wu Sangui shook his head and tail, and led a dozen of his men to turn around and leave, and followed behind him, and Ma Shixiu, a veteran of the left army, followed. This scene was like a hot pot in the entire army. In that way, a violent commotion broke out.

With a bang, the black pottery pot that Wu Sangui had stewed in a mouthful was smashed to pieces, and the man from Henan who was sprayed all over was the first to come out...

Chapter 737. Power disparity

With a bang, the new wall that had been built for a day was violently smashed open with a sledgehammer, and several left army officers rushed in, yelling for their health and wellness.

"Young commander! Are you okay, young commander?"

Originally, there was an empty bottle of Wu Sangui's collection of wine on hand, and Zuo Menggeng, who was leaning against the wall and snoring, immediately jumped up like a scalded buttock, pushed away the officers, and took three steps ahead of him in a panic. He ran out of the building in two steps, and almost jumped off the Dingwu Fort. After weighing the wheelbase of more than ten meters on the outer wall, he obediently turned down the small north gate, and then temporarily recruited people outside the city. In the residential barracks, there was a scene that made him want to cry.

There are more than 3000 reserve troops, but there are only about [-] left in the [-] main army, and no brigade is complete!And just as Wu Sangui said, without even the courage to fight, one can imagine what is left.

"Young commander, that bastard Ma Shixiu took the lead to join Wu Sangui, and that's why he took away so many brothers! Do you want the general to catch up and kill that bastard?"

Seeing Zuo Menggeng's ugly face, Hao Xiaozhong, a veteran of the left army who was trapped, jumped out again, holding a knife and asking murderously.

However, if he really had the courage, Zuo Menggeng would have chosen to fight to the death with Liu Zongmin instead of fleeing the Yangtze River and surrendering. He also did not have the courage to jump out of his comfort zone and desperately. He sighed helplessly: "Forget it, Wu Sangui is a direct descendant of the East India Company after all, unlike our collateral descendant. If there is a stalemate at this time, Wu Sangui can completely push the responsibility to us!"

"He's going to die, let him go! It just so happens that the brother of this family belongs to us, you go to the warehouse to dig out and see what else there is."

"correct!"

Suddenly thinking of something like that, Zuo Menggeng gritted his teeth and roared again: "Send someone to write to the company's board of directors, I'm going to impeach him!!!"

At the beginning, Zuo Menggeng was furious, but he didn't pay attention to the discouraged appearance of his generals. Compared with his old man, Zuo Menggeng, he is really far behind!

.......

On the other side, Wu Sangui also set off in a mighty manner with more than 3000 mercenaries and his old subordinates.

After crossing the tributary of the Henghe River, 3000 people carried ten cannons all the way to the north, and he scattered more than 100 Guanning cavalry in front of the army to inquire about the news non-stop. There is no restriction, even the establishment has not been changed, and the original generals of the left army are still appointed, and they don't care about their looting of indigenous villages along the way, as long as they don't delay the march during the day, they can do whatever they want.

But after all, there was a delay of about eight days. When Wu Sangui led his army to the Maratha border of Kurna, the [-] main Bangladeshi army led by Nawabu had already arrived in Karifatabad, not far from Wu Sangui. It's a two-day journey.

After all, his head wasn't pinched by the door, so he pulled this little guy and immediately confronted him head-on, Wu Sangui rationally ordered the army to stop.

As expected of the two holy rivers of India, the Ganges has many branches on the Bengal Plain, and it divides the state of Khulna and West Bengal, which is one of them. After crossing the river, Wu Sangui ordered the destruction of the Indian buildings behind him. The earth bridge, and soon a military camp was built next to the river.

Fortunately, after more than six months of special training in Tainan, engineering work is one of the training items. It would be really difficult to keep these left army men from bending over to dig the soil. In the voice of Wu Sangui, the East India Company hired The army dug out a very traditional three-trench fortification, with a large outer circle surrounded by a smaller inner circle. However, it is a little surprising that according to military drills, cannons should be hidden in the trenches to prevent enemy artillery attacks. But this time, instead of hiding the cannons, Wu Sangui put all the excavated soil in the center, and padded ten heavy red cannons high up, just like turrets.

It took more than a day to work on these things. At this time, the weather was already hot, and I was sweating all over, tired and sleepy. These uncles from the left army finally stopped picking and lay in the trenches just dug When I caught cold with the fan inside, I fell asleep soundly.

However, they were destined to not be able to sleep well that night. In the early hours of the morning, a burst of vibrations suddenly came from outside. They simply got out of the trench angrily, but the next second, these left soldiers couldn't help being stunned.

The horizon that had already exposed the white belly suddenly became thicker, and the orderly and dense vibrations filled the sky. The torches were like fireflies emerging from nowhere, and they were also uncountable, and some were dark and The strong monster staggered towards them.

"Wu Sangui, that bastard! Is this bitch dangerous?"

Putting his hands on his eyelids like Sun Dasheng, the strong Henan man who was fooled couldn't help scolding.

It is indeed too great a disparity!Even after a bloody battle with the Marathas for a day, the Bangladeshi army that won the big victory hardly lost anything. There are 7 people in a mighty force, with war elephants, cannons, and muskets, but Wu Sangui was fooled by him. There are more than 600 left troops, and the organization is still uneven. Some gangs have only one or two people, and there are only more than 100 cavalry.

However, Wu Sangui was full of confidence.

The sudden discovery of East India Company mercenaries also made the marching Bangladeshi army a little commotion. About a kilometer away from Wu Sangui's camp, Nawabu ordered to stop, and then took advantage of the dawn light, a dozen A fief knight trotted over to his side in a hurry with a white flag for negotiation on his horse.

"Governor Wu! Governor Wu! The barbarians have sent envoys to negotiate!"

With this amount, even Ma Shixiu, a veteran of the left army who was persuaded by Wu Sangui, was a little nervous. Seeing the messenger, he hurried to the elevated artillery position in the middle, and reported loudly.

At this time, Wu Sangui himself was quarreled, he was looking into the distance with a binoculars, when he heard Ma Shixiu's yelling, he dropped the binoculars and casually picked up a flintlock.

"Barbarian Messenger, are those people General Ma talking about?"

"That's right, Governor Wu, the barbarians are coming fiercely, and there are so many of them. I'm afraid the battle will be a hard one. If it doesn't work, just follow what my young marshal said, and we can negotiate a peace with the other party. The East India Company is such a big deal, and we can't do it." I almost paid them tens of thousands of taels..."

Before he finished speaking, a gunshot rang out suddenly, and Ma Shixiu almost fell into the ditch, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he hurriedly picked up the binoculars that Wu Sangui threw on the ground and looked around In the past, in the cylinder, the Bengal fief knight at the front had his head blown off his horse, and the remaining Turkic-Persian riders also turned around and ran away.

After blowing the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle, Wu Sangui asked with a gruff smile, "General Ma, is there anything else?"

"Governor Wu, you..."

His mouth was trembling, and the old Zuojun slapped his thigh sadly for a long time: "The last general is fine, now go to the front to supervise the battle!"

All the envoys have been killed, so there is still room for peace?

Ignoring Ma Shixiu, who was falling into the trenches, he threw the gun heavily to the side, and Wu Sangui yawned heavily, and then lay down on the soft mud again, under the angry teeth of a group of left army gunners. In the tickle, he waved his hand lazily.
