Liu Jiang sneered: "Do you really think we will pay a big price?"

Yang Zhan said: "Of course! To put it bluntly, why did the court retain so many chieftains back then? Isn't it because the cost of trying to destroy these chieftains' villages was too great, so great that the court could not afford it! You should know that fighting in the mountains is different from fighting on the plains!"

Liu Jiang suddenly laughed when he heard this, and then said, "I have seen the people below feel idle these days, and I also heard that they are preparing to organize a large-scale competition in private. Why not let's give it a try."

Yang Zhan knew that this was Liu Jiang showing off his muscles, but this was what he needed. He needed to understand that he was in trouble, so he immediately said loudly: "Okay, that's it! It's a mule or a horse that pulls it out!"

In fact, Yang Zhan and the others have not been idle these days. The soldiers below competed with each other, and there were reasons why they were pushing them secretly! It is understandable that such small tricks came out. After all, everyone wants to gain some advantage before negotiations.

But the feedback made them very dissatisfied! Because they received a series of defeats! They didn't think about it. If you can choose a group of personal soldiers from your subordinates, then Liu Jiang rushed over from afar, how could he be a mediocre person by his side?

Moreover, Liu Pei's army is huge, and there is much room for selection than them! Especially among these more than 50 soldiers, half of them are good players within the Intelligence Bureau, and they just temporarily put on military uniforms!

The two sides quickly discussed the way to compete, which was to fight in the jungle of mountains. Ming soldiers defended the mountain and attacked by Shandong soldiers. Fighting up the mountain was considered a victory.

The reason for this decision was that other aspects had already been contested, and Yang Zhan and the others lost a lot! Now they were counting on using mountain combat to win the lead! They even made an appointment with Liu Jiang to allow casualties!

Liu Jiang naturally nodded in agreement. However, he also made a request. Once he proposed a suspension, everyone could only stay where they were waiting for Liu Jiang's arrangements. Yang Zhan and the others were a little doubtful after hearing this request, but they also agreed.

The next day, the two teams walked towards the mountains. Liu Jiang's side was the attacking side, and he set out a little later than the Ming soldiers.

After seeing off the Shandong soldiers, Zeng Ying sneered and said to Liu Jiang: "Mr. Liu, you probably don't know how big the difference is between fighting in the mountains and forests and fighting on the plains? What's more, my side is commanded by Brother Yuliang, and you have not been to the battle formation in person. I'm afraid our side will have a greater chance of winning!"

Liu Jiang smiled and said, "Mr. Zeng said it well. I really don't know how to command battles. I am better at detectives, spy, assassination and other things! But I believe in my soldiers!"

Zeng Ying said: "Mr. Liu, don't underestimate the battles in the mountains and forests! The roads are rugged in the mountains and forests, and you have to walk several times the road from one location to another! Moreover, snakes and insects are densely packed in the mountains and forests, and you will be caught if you are not careful! The most important point is that there are too many places for ambush in the mountains, so it is very easy to kill people! And you still attack from the back, which is even more difficult!"

Liu Jiang said: "Mr. Zeng is right! Although I don't know how to fight, I have also inquired in advance and asked about some tips for combat. I know that because there are too many trees in the forest, the role of bows and arrows has been greatly weakened. Only close combat is an effective means! And when attacking, once the guard occupy a certain rock platform or ridge, it can suppress a large group of people! But I still say the same thing, I have confidence in the soldiers under my hands!"

Zeng Ying snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "Then let's wait and see!"

After the two finished speaking, they followed the soldiers to the mountains and forests together. They wanted to witness the victory or defeat of the battle. At this time, in the mountains and forests, the two sides had already started a competition. However, both sides used wooden weapons, which could reduce casualties as much as possible.

But what surprised Zeng Ying was that Liu Jiang went up the mountain and specially hired a group of mountain villagers. Each of the more than 20 mountain villagers brought two scarecrows. Zeng Ying didn't know the purpose of doing this, but he thought that the other party would not do useless things. Sooner or later, he would know, so he didn't ask and followed him up the mountain.

Not long after the group entered the mountain, several Ming soldiers supported each other and walked down the mountain. The people who were supported were covered in blood and their arms were soft. It seemed that these Shandong soldiers were very good at taking action.

There were three other people with a very dazzling red color on their chests. They suddenly looked like they were seriously injured! But they were mixed with people, and their steps were normal, and they didn't look like they were in trouble.

Zeng Ying hurriedly took two steps to inquire about the situation, but found that it was just a broken bone and a skin trauma, and nothing was wrong. He asked: "What's going on on your three of you?"

One of the soldiers said dejectedly: "It was hit by the opponent's short gun! I don't know what they stuffed into the short gun, it hurts when they hit it! Then that's it."

At this time, Liu Jiang followed up and said, "General Zeng, don't worry, the three of them were not injured, they just looked scary! The short gun was not filled with lead bullets, but the wet cloth that occupied the pigment was wrapped in a cork! This way, the attack on people will not be injured! However, the range will be much shorter and the accuracy will also decrease."

Zeng Ying could hear that Liu Jiang was telling himself that his people had already kept their hands. So he waved his hand to send the soldiers back to rest. His group accelerated their speed and walked up the mountain.

They soon approached the place where the two sides fought. On the way, they encountered several waves of wounded soldiers, including Shandong soldiers and Ming soldiers! However, there were more Ming soldiers. Moreover, they were either covered with blood or were stabbed, and it seemed that the battle was fierce! And they saw a fight with their own eyes!

On the small path in the mountains ahead, three Shandong soldiers were touching the top in groups. Just as they were approaching a big rock on the left side of the road, two spears suddenly stabbed out! There was no spear tip on the spear, but it would never be easy to stab it on the body!
