There is a Daning River connecting Dachang and Wushan County.

The Daning River is a tributary of the Chuan River. Although the riverbed is wide, the water surface does not completely cover the entire riverbed. Most of the water surface is only a few feet wide, and the narrowest part is even seven or eight feet wide. Only small ships can be driven in the upper river, and some places even have shallows, which can only be passed by bamboo rafts.

There are steep rock walls on both sides of the river, and there are only extremely steep plank roads on the rock walls.

The plank road was too dangerous, so when the King of Sweeping and King of Ten Antis set out, they took a waterway. They temporarily built many bamboo rafts and then went down the Daning River. For bandits who lacked mules and horses and were difficult to travel, they would have much more convenient discharges along the river, whether it was transporting materials or marching.

The two divisions of the Sweeping King Cao Wei and the Ten Rebel King Yang Youxian have more than 5,000 troops, but there are only a very small number of Tang horses. Moreover, only a few of their subordinates are veterans. Most of them are the people who have been rebelling again this year or take the initiative to surrender. They lack armor and weapons. Even so, the Sweeping King and Yang Youxian are quite relaxed. They don’t think there will be any trouble with this march.

In a small county town like Wushan, there are not even garrisons. At most, there are only some regiments and some people's strong men. Even if there are city walls to rely on, they cannot stop their attack at all. As long as they directly attack the city, they will be ruthless, and work hard to make some casualties, they can easily take down the city.

Although after capturing Wushan, all the gains were still scored at least half for Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, at least half of them could be left. Although Wushan County is not big, it is on the edge of the Yangtze River. There are many merchant ships passing by. Even if they are not as rich as Dachang, they will definitely gain a lot.

Compared to the sweeping king and the others who rely on bamboo ranks to march, Liu Jun and others are more stable and faster on the big river boat.

From Dachang City to Wushan, the distance from Fengjie to Wushan is about the same as that from Fengjie to Wushan. They all take the water route, but Liu Jun and the others drove to Wushan County in less than two hours.

When they arrived in Wushan County, Liu Jun quickly led the war barracks to disembark. This time the ship was even faster. In less than half an hour, all the war barracks had already disembarked.

After the entire army came ashore, it was already dark, and Liu Jun and his team lit torches. When they passed by the county town, all the officials in Wushan County hid on the top of the city in horror, closing the city gate tightly.

Liu Jun rode a horse to the city and shouted to the city to inform him of his identity.

"Hurry open the city gate, we are under the command of the army under the command of the Prime Minister Xiong, the six provinces, to suppress bandits."

The magistrate on the city looked at the fire below, and the large brigade of soldiers gathered, and was already scared. Although he heard the shouting under the city, he knew that a large fleet had passed by during the day, but he didn't know their identity. The magistrate just ordered not to open the door, and only asked the yamen runners to reply that they couldn't see clearly in the dark, so they could not open the city. They had to wait until Tianming verified their identity.

"Cao, damn it's really a shame to keep it in your arms." Feng Sheng was furious.

Liu Jun's central officer Fu Shan was also very angry, "Sir, I'll go over and shout again."

"No need, just push the cannon cart up and give the city a quarter of an hour. If they don't open the city gate, we will just blow the city gate." Liu Jun didn't want to talk to the city. In his plan, he wanted to arrange a soldier into the city.

Fu Shan was stunned. "If they really don't drive, can we really use gunshots?"

"These guys are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. Once we push the gun, they will definitely be afraid and will definitely open the door." Liu Jun said confidently.

Sure enough, when the artillery soldiers pushed more than a dozen artillery cars under the city lined up, the city gate finally opened.

The city gate opened, and a group of people came out of the city. The first one was wearing a black hat and a green robe. It was the magistrate of Wushan County. He came out with a blue face and shouted from afar, "Who are you leading the troops? Come out."

He was a magistrate who was born in two Jinshi, but was threatened by a group of martial artists with cannons. He was so unbearable. Although the city gate was opened, he had to speak out.

Liu Jun rode forward and came to the magistrate, "Who is coming?"

The magistrate saw the man riding a horse in front of him wearing armor and dressed in extraordinary clothes, but he was very young. He didn't take Liu Jun seriously for a moment and shouted, "Who are you? You haven't gotten off your horse in front of me, who is your boss? Call him here. It's so outrageous. He dared to set up a cannon to threaten me. I want to study with the court and study with him one by one."

Liu Jun snorted coldly, "I will ask who you are, haven't you heard it?"

The magistrate shouted loudly, but when Liu Jun sniffed at the low voice, he couldn't help feeling palpitations. He swallowed his saliva, suppressing the palpitations, and became more and more angry, "I am the father of Wushan County, Wang Qiren, who are you?" Wang Qiren was also a reason for his anger to shout. The great Ming Dynasty's literary and noble military officials were inferior, especially those two officials who came from the right path of Jinshi, even if they were just small magistrates, they were very noble, especially in front of those martial artists.

Usually, the commander of the fifth-rank thousand households and even the third-rank must be polite when they see them. The group of soldiers who are coming now dare to threaten him with cannons. He feels that his honor as a civil servant in Jinshi was offended.

"Oh, it turns out that you are the magistrate of this county who just stayed behind closed doors. He is from a Jinshi, right?"

"Of course, the 37th Jinshi was the first Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen." The magistrate snorted coldly, his nostrils almost facing the sky.

But what surprised him was that after hearing his noble Jinshi's status as a county magistrate, the young general did not change his attitude at all, did not dismiss his horse immediately, and did not apologize humbly, and even showed a disdainful look. He was sure that he was just a disdainful look.

"Rareless, who are you under your command, who dares to be so domineering and arrogant?"

Liu Jun's personal soldier Wang Ergou strode towards the magistrate and whispered loudly, "Listen, this is the commander-in-chief of the emperor, the guerrilla general of Huguang, and the prime minister of the six provinces to suppress bandits. It is also the middle-level officer and the middle-level officer of the middle-level officer in the middle-level camp."

Wang Qiren looked up in surprise and looked at Liu Jun's eyes carefully. He was still so young, and he was a bit too young. But he was already a guerrilla general and a new chief officer of the bandit suppression prime minister. No wonder he was so arrogant. However, he was a Jinshi and a civil servant, so he naturally had to maintain his dignity in front of military personnel.

"Even if it is a guerrilla general named by the emperor, the new prime minister is the chief officer. But don't be proud of it for a moment. The younger you are, the more you should be more polite and abide by the rules."

Liu Jun couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"You are just a seventh-rank magistrate. What qualifications are you to dare to discuss the third-rank Shangguan like this? Do you want to be the one who is below?" Liu Jun suddenly shouted loudly.

Wang Qiren was shocked and wanted to fight back, but he saw that Liu Jun had already pressed his hand down on the scabbard. He suddenly shivered. He said that he had already said something to his mouth, but he swallowed it back. But he was looking for a step for himself, and it was not worth calculating with a martial artist. After all, this martial artist was a little different. It was the emperor who was named guerrilla, and the prime minister chose the junior officer.

A small conflict ended with the retreat of Wushan magistrate. If Liu Jun had not tried his best to restrain himself, he would have really wanted to slap the magistrate twice just now. However, he knew that if he really did this, it would be difficult to end if he didn't do it well. In the worst case, he might be attacked by civil servants, and at least he would have to be called a domineering martial artist. Now that the magistrate retreated, it would be a good result.

Liu Jun transferred more than a thousand people into the city and stood by. Then he led the rest of the troops outside the city. Because the sweeping king came along the Daning River, the section of the Daning River entering the river is also called the Bawu River. The river is deeper and wider, and there are cliffs on both sides. It is not suitable for ambushing halfway, and it is impossible to fight water battles.

Therefore, Liu Jun’s plan was to hide some of the troops in the city first, and then he brought other troops to ambush outside the city. After the sweeper king and his friends arrived at the wharf of Wushan County, they landed on the dock and landed. They asked them to attack the county first, and then Liu Jun then surrounded them from behind, destroying the thieves’ bamboo platoons and then attacked.

"Although it's dark now, the thieves are very likely to arrive tonight and attack the city on black. Therefore, we must cheer up. The artillery under the jurisdiction of the department and the flag of each department is still led by each department. The artillery department's artillery is divided into two parts, one is arranged in the city, the artillery is mounted on the city, and the other is arranged outside the city. The horse teams gather together to serve as reserves for rushing to the enemy, or pursuing the enemy when they escape."

In front of the city gate, Liu Jun and the third-level officers of the department and bureau held a temporary military meeting and reiterated the combat plan again.

"Everyone, this battle is the first battle since we set out, so we must win this battle, and we must win beautifully."

"Wan Sheng!"

The generals and schoolmen shouted in unison.

"Okay, the meeting will be disbanded, everyone will return to the team and act as planned."

At midnight, fire lights appeared on the Bawu River, and countless torches formed a winding fire dragon on the river. More than 5,000 bandits led by the Sweeping King and the Ten Anti-King finally appeared on the river in front of Wushan County.

After the bandits arrived, they quickly docked, and teams of bandits landed on the shore, and then formed a group of bandits on the river beach.

The sweeping king looked at the countless fires beside him, full of excitement. At this time, I was afraid that everyone in Wushan County was still immersed in their sleep.

"Haha, brothers, we will take the county town before dawn, and the silver and women are all ours!"

"Go into the city and grab money, grain and women!" The King of Ten Antis also pulled out his waist knife and shouted loudly.

"Get money, grab food, grab women!" The thieves were very excited.

"Come with me, go!" Cao Wei took the lead and rushed towards the county town several miles away.

And not far from them, Liu Jun, who was hiding here, looked at the scene with a smile.

"Sir, the bandits have all gone ashore." Fu Shan lay beside Liu Jun and whispered.

"Wait a little longer, you won't be afraid of being late."

After waiting for another half an hour, there were finally a burst of shouts of killing sounds from the county town. It was obvious that the bandits failed to attack and had turned into a forceful attack. However, only the shouts of killing sounds, no guns and cannons came, indicating that the Jiutou and his team were still hiding and not taking action.

"Now, it's time for you to appear." Liu Jun turned his head and smiled at Feng Shengdao...

"Look at us!" Feng Sheng smiled and called Ye Bushang under his command, and quietly touched the riverside. Liu Jun heard a sudden sound of feather arrows breaking through the air, followed by a scream, and then a sound of swords and swords. Everything quickly returned to silence.

Soon, Feng Sheng, who was covered in blood, returned to Liu Jun's side with a sword, "Only a hundred people who stayed behind to take care of the bamboo tray and the baggage have been dealt with by us. Ye Bushou is pushing all the bamboo trays into the river to float away."
