Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

The surrender rate was astonishingly high.

The soldiers under the various warlords were extremely poor in combat and received very little training.

To them, soldiers were just farmers randomly pulled from the fields, and each was given a gun.

The idea that soldiers with such fighting power could be effective was pure fantasy, which led to the warlords' particularly indifferent attitude towards warfare.

For example, the two Zhili-Fengtian Wars were major decisive battles that influenced China in the early 20th century.

However, the number of deaths on both sides was not particularly high throughout the war.

Some foreigners even recorded that bullets flew incessantly during the fierce battle outside the capital, yet few people were killed.

The common people were just watching the spectacle, and some were even running around on the battlefield, yet none of them were killed.

The same scenario unfolded in Sichuan and Bazhong. At that time, the important city of Chengdu became a battlefield multiple times.

Whenever the army attacked, or even when gunfights broke out outside the city, the people would still go to the market to buy vegetables as usual.

Firstly, they've seen it so often that they're used to it; secondly, they know that many of these soldiers don't even know how to aim properly, and some even fire into the air.

···Requesting flowers···· ·····

The soldiers knew they were just getting paid to eat, so there was no need for them to risk their lives.

Therefore, most armies that suffered defeats were actually either routed or captured, and the number of casualties was indeed very small.

Many people, when they can no longer make a living in one family, will find another powerful figure to rely on for food.

Anyway, it doesn't matter who a soldier follows.

Therefore, Shen Hao didn't take Brigade Commander Guo seriously at all.

These people are nothing but chickens in front of Li Yunlong.

Meanwhile, twenty miles away from Longxi Valley, Commander Guo had two soldiers frantically fanning themselves.

It's still unbearably hot.

Brigade Commander Guo sat in a bamboo sedan chair, eating watermelon.

He said impatiently, "Damn it, could you fan me a little harder? This damn hot weather is unbearable."

"He's the brigade commander."

Looking at the sun overhead, Brigade Commander Guo said impatiently, "Damn it, how much longer until we reach Goose City?"

.... ......... ...

"Commander, it's still 20 li to go. Why don't you ride a horse? Walking like this is too slow."

Brigade Commander Guo slapped him across the face.

"You son of a bitch, do I need your lectures?"

"Yes Yes Yes"

Brigade Commander Guo rode a horse until his thighs hurt, then he had to take a sedan chair. This guy really was walking into the line of fire.

"Hmph, a mere magistrate of Goose City dares to ask Governor Liu for 600 guns? These are all for me!"

Brigade Commander Guo cursed and swore;

The Hanyang rifles that Shen Hao asked Governor Liu for last time were all squeezed out by Brigade Commander Guo.

This will cost him dearly for a while.

Although he didn't want to give it, he couldn't refuse since Governor Liu had spoken.

This time, Shen Hao killed Huang Silang.

Huang Silang would give him tens of thousands of silver dollars every year as a tribute.

Now that Shen Hao has killed Huang Silang, he has cut off Huang Silang's source of income.

They also robbed Huang Silang of his property, in addition to the 600 guns they had previously seized.

Such a great temptation made Brigade Commander Guo really envious.

In Brigade Commander Guo's view, Shen Hao was just a greenhorn, not even fully grown.

Killing him is like killing a chicken.

Brigade Commander Guo originally didn't want to come.

However, they received a message from Huang Silang saying that Shen Hao had taken Daiyu and Qingwen away.

This woman was incredibly beautiful and he had been thinking about her for a long time, but since Governor Liu had taken a liking to him first, he gave up on that idea.

This time, the woman also got her.

Shen Hao's biggest mistake was competing with Governor Liu for a woman.

Brigade Commander Guo's attack on Goose City was also approved by Governor Liu.

When something goes wrong, someone will take the blame.

In those days, nobody cared if a county magistrate died.

Some people want to be county magistrates; everyone can get rich, and they'd be happy if a few of you died.

77. This is simply a massacre!

This time, Brigade Commander Guo only led two regiments, totaling about two thousand people.

Although he commanded a brigade, he only had three regiments under his command.

Each group has a minimum of one thousand people.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he simply can't afford to raise them.

He's saving his money to marry a concubine, smoke opium, and watch plays.

Why support so many poor soldiers?

Originally, Brigade Commander Guo only planned to lead a regiment, but then he remembered that he had given Shen Hao 600 guns before.

The other side has at least 600 people.

One regiment wasn't enough to intimidate Shen Hao, so they added another regiment.

The thought of leading two regiments to attack Goose City was daunting.

The other side saw their large force and trembled with fear.

Brigade Commander Guo became inexplicably excited.

He enjoys the feeling of bullying the weak.

The thought of stepping on Shen Hao and seeing him kneeling and begging for mercy filled Brigade Commander Guo with excitement. "387."

This time, the entire Goose City was his prey.

If I don't loot it, wouldn't I be doing myself a disservice?

Just as Brigade Commander Guo was dreaming of a wonderful future.

The scout on the mountaintop sent a telegram to Shen Hao.

After reading the telegram, Li Yunlong felt more confident.

He hadn't expected that the other person was such a simpleton, just swaggering in like that.

They only brought two thousand men, and they didn't have any heavy weapons.

Among them were several people carrying large razor blades.

They thought it would be a tough battle and were on high alert.

Unexpectedly, a chick came.

This feeling is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Li Yunlong immediately changed his strategy: "Leave one battalion behind, everyone else retreat. This time we'll set a trap and let him crawl into it."

"Yes, Commander."

Shen Hao was also getting impatient. Although his marksmanship was accurate, he was not a sniper and did not have the patience.

About two hours later, Brigade Commander Guo's troops could be faintly seen.

The battalion left behind at the front immediately trembled with tension.

However, Li Yunlong's mission for them was to escape, to the point of complete rout and defeat.

As long as you run fast, that's the biggest achievement.

Everyone was both nervous and excited.

At this moment, Brigade Commander Guo's scout also spotted the enemy ahead and hurriedly reported to Brigade Commander Guo, "Reporting, Chief, enemy spotted ahead!"

Brigade Commander Guo was somewhat surprised, not expecting Shen Hao to dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

So he asked, "How many people are there over there?"

"About a few hundred people"
