Mr. Meng was determined to arm himself into a hedgehog, and he really did so.

The wooden thorns made by Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang were used to the limit.

The strengthened version of the rejection of horses, the pit of the wooden thorns, the canola cart loaded with the wooden thorns and spears, and the rattan plate on the shelf is a fortress with thorns. There are really warriors who dare to rush forward head-on, and after rejecting the horse, they will fall into the pit. Not to mention that there are thousands of holes, they will also be strung into a gourd.

Every path leading from the bottom of the hill to the lookout pier was heavily obstructed, and any enemy who tried to pass through it would have to pay the price in blood. Even if it's your own person, if you don't pay attention to it, you may be tricked. There was no way, Meng could only order the removal of the rejected horses on one road, take out the wooden thorns in the pit, and by the way, remove the wooden rafts hanging from the trees, so as not to cause non-war casualties.

Falling into the ditch dug by one's own people, let alone credit, work injuries are not counted. If a certain official comes to inspect and is accidentally recruited, he is afraid that he will not be promoted, and his head will have to be moved.

Occasionally, patrolling border soldiers pass by the hill and feel chills at the sight of the bunkers guarded by layers. Touching the neck, the reader, it is really extraordinary.

Shen Deputy Qianhu went on the pier platform again for the first time, carefully inquired about the transformation method of the horse and the canopy car, and asked the drawings in Meng's hand to go, and said again that Meng Zongqi can be of great use.

Whether and when this verbal check can be cashed is not for Meng to worry about for the time being. He was busy directing his border troops to upgrade the bunker. The unused wooden spikes exert residual heat.

A bunker like a porcupine, who would dare to rush forward? Unless the Northern Yuan cavalry is playing with a heartbeat.

Arson-fire? Set a fire on the grassland in autumn, and make roast suckling pig together?

"General Banner," Master Qianlang Zhong walked to Meng's side and said, "Can this law be reported to a hundred households?" ”

"I said it." Meng hooked the corners of his mouth, "Even the other piers have also sent people to tell you." ”

He did everything he had to do, everyone is not stupid, and he can still tell the difference between good and bad. Whether it is adopted or not, this favor should be noted.

"Shen Deputy Qianhu also knows about this matter." Meng suddenly raised his voice, "Left, yes, that's it, go higher!" ”

"What did Deputy Shen Qianhu say?"

"I didn't say the rest, I just told everyone to do a good job, and if you do a good job, you will be rewarded."

This is not Shen Xuan's original words, but the meaning is not much different.

"I would like to congratulate you on the imminent raising of the flag."

"It's too early to tell." Meng waved his hand, his purpose was very clear, to guard this lookout platform and save the lives of most people.

As for launching a defensive counterattack...... I want him to have that ability, too.

"The key is to hold here, especially the only passage that is not set up to resist horses, it must be guarded."

If the tartars don't come up, they win.

The former Langzhong man patted his chest and took the initiative to ask for battle, "Don't worry, General Flag!" Humble duty personally lead people to guard! ”

Meng Zongqi thought about it for a long time and said: "Good steel should be used on the blade, and talents like Ding Xiaoqi should be even more so!" ”

The former Langzhong was high-spirited, "Xie Zongqi praised, I dare not be a lowly position!" ”

Meng Zongqi extinguished the fire in his heart with a basin of water, "There are still many things to rely on Ding Xiaoqi in the future, and Meng doesn't want to lose his talent so soon." ”

Former Lang Zhong Adult: "......"

"Therefore, Ding Xiaoqi still stays in the bunker, and this place will be handed over to Liu Xiaoqi. He was a butcher and was more suitable for manual labor. ”

Former Lang Zhong Adult: "......"

When the words fell, Meng Zongqi walked away with his hands behind his back, and the former Langzhong stood on the ground, looking up to the sky and crying.

Why, he suddenly had the urge to beat Shangguan?

Sure enough, he has been away from the court for a long time, and his skills are itchy?

Meng continued to arm his one-acre three-point land, and the border troops defending other lookout piers also began to transform the piers one after another.

It doesn't matter if the wooden thorns don't come up and can't brush the tung oil, it's okay to resist the horses and the chariot formation that may hinder their counterattack, their ultimate task is to hold the lookout pier, as long as they hold the lookout pier and survive the Tartar attack, the rest doesn't matter.

Yang Duo stayed in Kaipingwei for only three days, and before leaving, he specially bypassed the lookout platform guarded by Meng Shu, and saw a tighter defensive formation than two days ago, raised his eyebrows on one side, raised his right arm, and signaled the horse team to stop.

"The general flag, it's the horse team the day before yesterday."

Meng Zheng and a few small banners under his command studied where there were still omissions in the defense, and when he heard the report of the soldiers, he didn't raise his head, "I guess I'm passing by again, don't pay attention to it." ”

"Report the flag, they are coming down the mountain."

"Huh?"

Meng frowned, got up and climbed to the top of the bunker, condescendingly, taking in everything under the pier. The cyan military attache uniform is at least a hundred households. The appearance is not very clear, but the momentum on his body is somewhat similar to Shen Deputy Qianhu.

The official level crushed people to death. Meng was a little hesitant whether he should go down to find out.

Yang Duo looked up at the pier, and there was not much emotion on his handsome face.

At this moment, there was a familiar sound of horns in the distance, and in the sound of the horns, there were teams of horses gathered from all directions.

The vermilion jacket of the Ming army is still very conspicuous in the smoke and dust rolled up by the horse's hooves.

There were more and more cavalry of the Ming army galloping in, not like they were going back to the city, but they continued to gather together with the sound of horns, and then turned the horse's head, drew out the long knife, took off the bow and crossbow on the horse's back, and separated again. Like a sharp long knife, it cuts through the boundless grassland.

At the farthest lookout pier, billowing wolf smoke had risen.

Meng's face changed suddenly, and he didn't care about the team under the pier, he climbed directly to the top of the fort, picked up the flint, struck out the sparks with a few blows, ignited the hay piled up on the top of the bunker, and then threw the flint and flint to the soldiers who had just reacted, "Light the wolf smoke!" ”

At the same time, he turned around and shouted, "Defend immediately, the Tartars are coming!" ”

A sentence exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

The wolf smoke rose on the pier, and Yang Duo under the pier platform had already ridden his horse to catch up with the Ming cavalry gathered in front.

Meng walked down the second floor and personally picked up a spear equipped with wooden spikes, which was specially prepared for assassinating the enemy after the chariot and the rejection of the horse.

The head of the spear is not long enough, and if it is loaded with a hard wooden thorn, it can directly pierce the body of the horse.

"Everyone," Meng clenched his spear, his eyes were like knives, no longer the weak scholar who couldn't even hold a knife on his waist a few months ago, "It doesn't matter who the enemy is or how strong the enemy is!" As long as we are more ruthless and desperate than them, we can survive! ”

"Meng doesn't believe it, God must accept our lives today!"

"What's more, the Tartars are the enemy, and they are also our war exploits!" Meng raised his voice, "A Tartar's head can raise a small flag!" There are a lot of kills, and there are fat sheep, ploughing cattle, and rewards! ”

Under the mobilization of Meng Zongqi's war, the fierce and vicious Tartars, in the eyes of these border troops, were all replaced at equal value.

The original nervousness turned into excitement, and the fear of the first time on the battlefield also turned into excitement.

More than 50 border soldiers, all with red eyes, even the former Langzhong who was used to seeing the big scene waved his fists, shouted with everyone with his throat and fat sheep.

On the grassland, the three thousand cavalry led by Shen Xuan had completed the assembly, and Yang Duo stepped forward, "I've seen the deputy thousand households!" ”

With the same cyan military attache uniform, Shen Xuan has been promoted to deputy thousand households and leads the guerrilla general, while Yang Duo is still a hundred households, but he has been reused under the command of Quan Ningwei.

The sound of rumbling war drums sounded in the Kaiping Acropolis, the city gate was opened, and the border troops in the city lined up with swords, cards, guns and halberds.

Between the orders, the battle formation was divided again, and every hundred people formed a formation, lined horizontally, stretching for several miles. Another chariot was launched from the formation, the body was equipped with spears, wooden thorns, artillery guns, and more than a dozen firearms were placed.

If Meng was present, he would definitely recognize it at a glance, this was clearly an upgraded version of the unicorn he had transformed! Even the wooden thorns installed on the car are the same as those he explained to Meng Hu.

After the battle array, several battle flags were erected above the city, black as ink and red as fire, and they sounded fiercely in the wind.

The cavalry led by Shen Xuan separated like a tide, Yang Duo and the others continued to turn to the east, and the Tartars attacked Kaipingwei, and the news must be transmitted to the Liaodong Zhuwei as soon as possible.

The drums beat again.

On the horizon in the distance, the black cavalry and war horses pressed like dark clouds, and the sound of thunder rolled up in the middle of the action.

At the head of the city, Chen Heng, the commander of Beiping, and Xu Zhong, the commander of Wei, both of whom went to Kaiping to guard the town, had a solemn face, and beside them, there was also a tall boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a black gauze folded scarf, wearing a regular dress with a plate collar and narrow sleeves, and there were gold woven dragons on the front and back of the robe and on both shoulders. The handsome face of the young man is a little childish, but between his eyebrows and eyes, he is heroic, with a nobility that cannot be hidden.

He is the second son of King Yan, the king of Gaoyang County from Princess Xu, Zhu Gaoxu.
