"Xiaoqi, you...... Do you still go to the value difference? Ah Tian looked up at Jiang Yuyan, and his voice trembled with fear.

"Xiaoqi is naturally going to go, and it is impossible to retreat in order to protect us, which is against military law." Xu Annian looked quite calm, and educated Ah Tian with a serious face.

"So what are you going to do?" Jiang Yuyan was not very sure about preventing the attack of the Luchuan army this time, once the Manggu Mountain camp fell, the few people who stayed here would be extremely dangerous.

"Let's go back to camp and get ready." Xu Annian replied.

"No, you go to Mengyang City." Jiang Yu still felt unsteady in his heart.

"There is a long way to Mengyang here, what if you encounter an enemy on the way?" Zhang Dake asked. This guy is the only one of the few who can fight a dozen.

"So we have to hurry up, go now, we may not encounter the Luchuan army yet, and if the camp in Manggu Mountain and other places is broken after a while, it will be even more dangerous." Jiang Yu was thinking about how to keep these people safe as much as possible.

Since the success of manufacturing fixed ammunition and improving the firecracker, he has regarded his craftsmen as an important capital for his future fortune after crossing over to the Ming Dynasty.

In the previous sneak attacks of the Luchuan Army, a few people sneaked in secretly, but this time they attacked the defense line where the watchtower was located from the mountain road, which shows that the number of people who came was not comparable to the previous times. And he happened to be on duty this time, so he couldn't personally protect them, and he advanced and retreated with several people, and the situation was much more dangerous than before.

"Okay, let's go directly to Mengyang City." Xu Annian clenched his fists: "Xiaoqi must take care." ”

"Wait!" Jiang Yugang stopped a few more people. He thought about it carefully, it was indeed possible for the Luchuan army to block the road to Mengyang City, "Now that we have built two new-style firearms, it is better for you to stay in the camp and stay in the camp, which will help me a little." ”

Jiang Yuyan knew in his heart that the so-called help was secondary, the key was not to put all the eggs in the same basket, in case the Luchuan army really intercepted and killed the people who fled to Mengyang City, the two of them could survive if the camp was defended.

"I'll stay on guard." Lu Chong was the first to speak: "If Xiaoqi needs it, I can follow you to the defense line." ”

"It's not necessary, the situation of the defense line is still what I went to find out before." Jiang Yugang asked again: "Is there anyone else?" ”

"Count me in, the last time Xiaoqi was knocked out, it was still the camp I dragged Xiaoqi back." Zhang Dake scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's just that Xiaoqi forgot." ”

"Okay, then the other three of you will go to Mengyang City immediately." Jiang Yugang repeatedly instructed: "Just run for your life, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of running out of firewood." ”

"Okay, let's go." Xu Annian clenched his fists slightly.

"Then we'll leave it at that." Jiang Yu nodded and ran towards the Ming army's defense line in Manggu Mountain.

Around Mengyang City, the Qujing Four Guards who stayed behind built four lines of defense, and the Qujing Guard, who had the highest status in the four guards, was responsible for the Manggu Mountain in the southwest direction, which faced the vast towns and villages controlled by the Luchuan Army, and was the direction with the greatest defensive pressure.

When Jiang Yugang arrived at the watchtower, the vanguard of the Luchuan army had already climbed the bamboo watchtower, and the Luchuan soldiers holding all kinds of hunting knives kept pouring up, while many of the Ming soldiers who were guarding were still trying to resist with firearms, and the heavier and heavier rain made it difficult for the gunpowder to be successfully launched by the firecrackers that were wet with rain, and the defense line was faintly in a rout.

Jiang Yu stepped forward in a few steps, slashed over a Luchuan soldier who was about to climb the watchtower, and then leaned over to dodge the blade of the hunting knife that swung from both sides, and turned around, the lancet pulled up a cold light, and the throats of the two Luchuan soldiers were slashed in the blink of an eye.

As soon as these two people were resolved, I saw several Luchuan soldiers under the watchtower flexibly climbing the outer wall, Jiang Yu leaned on the edge of the building, protected his head and neck while holding the knife and slashed downward, the top soldier's arm was injured and fell down, and at the same time smashed the Luchuan soldiers below.

At this time, three more Luchuan soldiers who had climbed the watchtower surrounded Jiang Yugang, Jiang Yugang immediately rolled on the ground, dodged a few knives aimed at his position just now, and quickly jumped up, slashing down the nearest enemy with a knife.

The splatters of blood stained his armor and cheeks, some of the blood flowed to his lips and slowly seeped into his mouth, and the unpleasant sweetness of rust made him subconsciously spit and spit out a mouthful of bloody foam.

The remaining two Luchuan soldiers looked at Jiang Yugang, who was covered in blood, their faces became stiff, and they slowly took a few steps back, then turned around and fled in both directions.

Jiang Yu shook the knife in his hand, only to feel that the hot blood in his body was surging, the limbs and bones were constantly surging with strength, and the raindrops in the sky fell on the back of his hands and cheeks, bringing a slight feeling of coolness. He looked around, this battlefield actually fell into a temporary stagnation because of his arrival, a wave of offensive of the Luchuan army was blocked, and at the same time, the morale of the Ming army was boosted.

"Jiang Yu is here." A Ming soldier recognized Jiang Yugang.

"Jiang Yuxuan?"

"The number one fierce man under Li Baihu is the little banner of those blacksmiths."

"Didn't you say he had his brain broken? How does it look more powerful now? ”

Jiang Yuxuan listened to the words of these soldiers becoming more and more strange, and couldn't help coughing a little embarrassed, and then commanded: "Now all the sword-wielding soldiers are left to defend to the death, and the firecracker soldiers have begun to retreat to the camp. ”

Another person, who was also a small flag, asked, "Retreat?" What to do if the line of defense is broken? ”

"Do you think you can hold on to it by staying here?" Jiang Yu asked rhetorically.

"This ...... Can you afford to have an accident? The other Xiaoqi looked nervous.

"When the time comes, it won't be something that you can't bear," Jiang Yuyan looked at the Luchuan soldiers who kept pouring in the distance, although these people were not in uniform and equipped with different equipment, but the number of people was obviously more than his own: "I can't survive." ”

In the Battle of Luchuan, the Ming army mobilized a total of 130,000 troops from Nanjing, Yunnan, Huguang, Sichuan and Guizhou into the battlefield, and the main army of the Southwest Guard Station was almost dispatched, but in the mountains and forests around Luchuan, several major battles that lasted for a year made the Ming army seriously depleted.

Jiang Yugang's troops under the hundred households are a microcosm, in the Luchuan battlefield, although the Ming army is in a frontal advantage, but the vast mountains and forests of countless villages can not be effectively controlled, every stronghold after the capture of a great price to defend, that is, almost indiscriminate sacrifice.

Since Jiang Yugang and above this kind of small flag, his original boss was in charge of the general banner of five small flags, and all the hundred households in charge of two general flags were killed, and the army that was originally full of 100 people has only more than 50 people now.

"If you survive, it will be possible to defend Manggu Mountain." Jiang Yuyan continued to analyze the situation: "At present, these people are taking the main road between the Manggu Mountains, and we can also play a garrison role if we retreat to the camp. ”

In addition, the little flag barely opened his eyes under the heavy rain, and saw the Luchuan army that kept coming up like a tide under the rain curtain in the distance, and his heart was also a little frightened: "Then, just listen to you, the fire guns will withdraw first?" ”

"I also agree with what Jiang Xiaoqi said."

"Yes."

"Who stays to command the sword-wielding soldiers? There are still fifteen brothers. A small flag asked.

Jiang Yuyan looked at the other small flags, and several people had a retreat on their faces, but he was heartbroken: "I'll stay, you guys look at our situation and retreat, garrison in the camp, we will buy time for you, if the situation is not good, I will also take a detour to copy the back road of the camp." ”

"Good!" A small banner at the head nodded, and then shouted to everyone: "All the sword-wielding soldiers stay here to obey Jiang Yu's command and Jiang Xiaoqi, and the other firecrackers will follow us and retreat towards the camp first, and reorganize the shooting formation!" ”

After a period of adjustment, there were many fewer people on the lookout, but the rest were some melee knife soldiers with a rather strong physique, in fact, the strength of the defense was not lost much, and their eyes began to converge on Jiang Yugang, which was a kind of trust in the most critical situation.

Although there are only fifteen people, but it has far exceeded the authority of a small banner, Jiang Yuyan was under tension and pressure, and the excitement slowly rose to his heart, he clenched the lancet in his hand, and shouted: "Qujing Weizhu Xiaoqi is under the jurisdiction of the strong man, listen to my Jiang Yugang's command, fight to the death!" War! ”

"Fight!" Heavy rain and blood soaked the armor of the warriors, but everyone raised their swords and roared loudly through the mountains and forests.
