Lu Jiu'an followed Lu Chong for a period of time before he learned about Lu Chong's private hiding of the bird gun, and he was able to contribute to the solution of this matter, and his heart was full of pride.

"Be careful." An Bai also replied, and then watched the two leave.

After hearing the footsteps of the two gradually disappear, An Bai collapsed to the ground weakly, he had always been a person with keen senses, he could feel that something, from this moment on, changed.

·····························

Back at the camp, Lu Jiu'an lay down on his bed and looked to the other side, but Lu Chong sat down at the table, silently lit the candle, made it properly, and took out a few pictures to look through carefully.

"What are you doing, Envoy? It's getting late, and you haven't rested? Lu Jiu'an asked: "Didn't the military master tell you not to look at things at night, so as not to hurt your eyes?" ”

"I'm just, I'm just uneasy." Lu Chong sighed lightly and continued to look at the drawings in his hand, this is a design drawing called "flintlock pistol", with several pages of design ideas, with strange "simplified characters", from left to right, written in a dense row of horizontal rows.

These things naturally all came from Jiang Yugang, Lu Chong thought he was a smart person, but he didn't understand where Jiang Yugang got these whimsical ideas.

The design drawings and design ideas are full of all kinds of mistakes and omissions that he can see at a glance, but the basic design behind this is an excellent idea that Lu Chong admires, Lu Chong has never seen a second person like Jiang Yugang, who is obviously a person who has never done craftsman work, but knows all kinds of craftsmanship methods.

If he had seen these techniques, he just remembered them, but whether it was a bird gun or a more complex and delicate flintlock pistol, it was a craft that Lu Chong had never heard of, and it is said that he also participated in the Luchuan Battle with the army that can go down in history.

In other words, this is a pure new craft, and it stands to reason that this has to be the most outstanding and familiar craftsman who is most familiar with the original old craft to come up with it, but Jiang Yugang almost came up with a complete design idea and detailed design drawings out of thin air, especially the drawings, on which the new firearms are lifelike, just like he saw with his own eyes.

The more he thought about these incomprehensible things surrounding Jiang Yugang, the more Lu Chong felt a chill in his back.

He couldn't help but secretly ask, what kind of character is he doing something bad under him?

This feeling of uneasiness made him not feel sleepy at all, and for a while, he looked at the design drawing more and more intently, and bit by bit corrected the mistakes and omissions in Jiang Yu's design.

Outside, the night was getting darker, and the night was calm, as if nothing had happened.

·························

On June 20, the 14th year of Orthodoxy, Mang Castle entered a wartime state.

The first regiment was subordinate to the first battalion, all of which were equipped with bird guns and were directly commanded by the battalion commander Bai He, and the second battalion was equipped with an array of bird guns and two new fire gun arrays, which were directly commanded by the battalion commander Dao Fanmeng.

Baihe was one of the earliest Ming troops in Manggu Mountain, with high military quality, and was always responsible for the training of recruits, and he also became the on-the-spot commander of the most important first battalion.

Dao Fanmeng was a capable man selected from the villagers of the Manggu Mountains, who originally served as the captain of the hunting team, but was later promoted to array supervisor and finally battalion commander because of his quick learning of firearms use and culture.

The 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion were reorganized into the 2nd Regiment of Mengyangcheng, with Li Xian as the commander and Auma replacing the original Wang Zhen as the regimental supervisor, forming the command department below Jiang Yugang.

The original regimental superintendent remained, as the commander of the newly formed first regiment of Manggubao in the third and fourth battalions that stayed behind, and Yu Shi served as the regimental superintendent.

In addition, the members of the Secret Academy and the Divine Hunting Academy, together with the hunting team and the Yuan Court Escort Team, formed a temporary special camp with a number of nearly 300 people.

The members of the Provisional Special Battalion may not have undergone much large-scale military training, but their ability to operate alone in the mountains is also top-notch.

For example, some members of the Secret Academy usually conduct training at a higher intensity than the army, and there is no problem with their combat quality.

The other houses and some non-combat departments were organized into the Provisional Mangkafort Reserve Regiment, which was under the unified leadership of the College of Cardinals.

At this time, the Cardinal's Office, after accepting more than 20 members of the original Ministry of Intelligence as clerks, also became a large-scale management body.

And because the Cardinal Council itself is an organization that corresponds to the integration and coordination of various institutions, it is only natural that these institutions are now managed and commanded in battle.

Because of the lack of combat experience and Jiang Yu's protection of Ah Tian, Jiang Yugang finally left Chen Ziyu as the temporary commander-in-chief.

The total number of the reserve regiment was about fifteen hundred, and all those who had full membership in various institutions, except for the old man and the child, were included in the wartime establishment, armed with a spear and a machete.

Some of the craftsmen who had used firearms were given a surplus of some of the remaining firearms, so that all the people were truly soldiers, and emergency training was carried out in batches to ensure that women also had a certain combat effectiveness.

Under normal circumstances, things might not have developed to this point, but Jiang Yuyan still decided to prepare everyone and have as much chance of survival as possible.

The establishment of the reserve regiment is relatively flexible, and it has not been reorganized, and the distribution of troops is still carried out according to the original composition of various organs, because the reserve regiment was not intended to be used to achieve any results in actual battles, so it is the most efficient design to continue to use the original organizational management.

······················

Before leaving, Jiang Yugang still found Chen Ziyu and Ah Tian and pulled them into his camp.

He originally felt that he was chic and open-minded enough, neither greedy for life nor afraid of death, only some pure emotions and thoughts in his heart, and there were not too many entanglements or things that he couldn't let go.

But when it really came time to rush to the danger of life and death, when he clearly realized that everything could happen, he still felt a little unable to let go of Ah Tian, the girl who had been with him since he crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, a girl with a legendary background, a gentle and intelligent girl.

Jiang Yuyan didn't know if he was a "good person", he was not the kind of person who would be bound by things like promises or morality that stayed at the moral level, but before leading the army away, he still remembered what he had said to this girl.

According to the standards of a person like him, many words are just words, but when it really happens, he can't let go easily.

Guarding Meng Yang is a big gamble that spans hundreds of years of time and space.

In Jiang Yugang's time, there is no historical record of what happened in it, but with what happened later, extrapolating from the result, coupled with the information that Jiang Yugang personally obtained after crossing to the Ming Dynasty, everything points to a result: the fall of Mengyangcheng.

What he has to do is change this outcome, and if he fails, he will most likely face death.

Jiang Yuyan himself is not afraid, and he doesn't care much about the fact that it will affect other people, but after staying in this time and space for more than half a year, there are some places in his heart that have been touched after all, and he doesn't want Ah Tian to have any accidents because of this war.

So after thinking for a long time, he spoke: "Chen Ziyu, tell me from the heart, what have I always done to you?" ”

"Brother Yu has always been my eldest brother, since he was selected by Wang Zhengqianhu to take him to Yunnan Mansion, I knew that Brother Yu Gang was going to have a great future, and this battle would be successful," Chen Ziyu said, his eyes jumped with a little excitement: "I am also worthy of this life to be able to follow Brother Yu to set up an industry." ”

Chen Ziyu's tone reflected his deep friendship with Jiang Yu everywhere.

In fact, a big reason for choosing Chen Ziyu as the head of the original intelligence department and later the head of the Shenjia Academy is that Chen Ziyu is actually Jiang Yu's younger brother a long time ago.

This matter was accidentally learned by Jiang Yugang from Zhang Dake, after all, he did not have the memory of Jiang Yugang, the small flag of the Ming Dynasty, from his own point of view, Chen Ziyu was a complete stranger, and after Ah Tian came to Qujingwei, Jiang Yugang had been taken to Yunnan Mansion by Wang Zheng of Yunnan Thousand Households, and naturally he did not understand the friendship between Jiang Yugang and Chen Ziyu.

Therefore, although it is strange, Chen Ziyu is really a person that Jiang Yugang can trust, and Jiang Yugang gave Chen Ziyu the important task because of this, and the relationship between the two gradually became closer.

"Then I'm going to give you a secret mission now," Jiang Yu said in a deep voice: "Secretly leave a team of reliable men, once the Mang Ancient Castle is breached, arrange for them to bring silver money to protect Ah Tian to evacuate, and go to Manmo through Ava's territory, if I hold Mengyang City, and then send someone to pick them up, if it fails, I will live well." ”

"What does that mean?" Chen Ziyu thought that Jiang Yugang would arrange some special task for him, but he didn't expect it to be a retreat plan, and the core of the plan was still the core person who stayed behind in the original sense of Mang Castle: Ah Tian.

Chen Ziyu suddenly remembered that Jiang Yu was in the meeting, and he suddenly decided to let himself stay and replace Ah Tian, as the commander of the Mang Ancient Castle Guard, it turned out that this was also to pave the way for the retreat plan.

"Because... I don't want Ah Tian to get hurt. Jiang Yuyan said the reason with a little difficulty, this was the first time he wanted to protect someone, although he was a little uncomfortable, let alone used to it, but he still said it.

"What is this?" Hearing Jiang Yu's explanation, Chen Ziyu's eyes began to become strange. Although Ah Tian is indeed outstanding, he still feels that Jiang Yu trusts Ah Tian a little too much, is there any personal relationship in this? But this Ah Tian is a teenager.

Jiang Yuyan saw Chen Ziyu's strange eyes, and couldn't help but confess: "Actually, Ah Tian is a woman, and now she... It's my woman, and I can't bring this matter to the table, so I can only entrust it to you. ”

"This?" Chen Ziyu's eyes widened, as a doctor, he had deeper doubts and curiosity about some of Ah Tian's behaviors.

However, although he had been a little suspicious before, because Ah Tian was deeply trusted by Jiang Yu, he never dared to bring it up, but he didn't expect it to be consistent with his conjecture.

Ah Tian originally kept her head down and didn't speak, although she was very scared, she kept asking Jiang Yugang to take her to Mengyang City, and later listened to Jiang Yugang's persuasion, worried that she would distract Jiang Yu, so she agreed to stay.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yugang not only recruited Chen Ziyu to take charge of the affairs of Mang Castle in his place, but also arranged an escape route for himself again.

When Jiang Yugang was still Xiaoqi and didn't know his true identity, he arranged an escape for himself, and that time he almost let Jiang Yugang be punished by the commander because of his escape.

She was very reluctant to Jiang Yugang's arrangement, but she was not a willful person at the same time, and she knew the reason why Jiang Yugang did this, so she silently agreed.
