The fierce men fought all the way through the Tartar camp and headed straight for the Great Reef Fort, where several Tartar cavalry chased closely and occasionally opened their bows and arrows at them, but they were all knocked down by their wielding halberds.

When he was about to reach the gate of the fort, the fierce man hung his halberd on the wing-ring triumphant hook, drew his bow and arrows from behind his saddle at a gallop, and turned to fire five arrows at the pursuing Tartar cavalry.

"Puff~!"

"Puff~!"

Two Tartar cavalrymen were shot through the chest and abdomen and fell off their horses and died on the spot, while another Tartar cavalryman dodged faster, but was shot in the shoulder and staggered and did not fall off his horse.

The remaining Tartar cavalry saw that the fierce man's archery was accurate, and that they were about to enter the range of the firearms, but they did not dare to chase them, and shouted and turned their horses' heads and fled back to the camp.

"Open the castle gate!"

Li Ruilang gave the order, and he also got off the fortress wall.

The dilapidated fortress door creaked open, the blood-covered fierce man dismounted, led the horse into the fort, and after passing through the gap in the rejection of the horse, his eyes fell on Li Rui, who was wearing iron armor, and saluted on one knee: "In Xia Xue Li Xue Rengui, I heard that there are officials and soldiers fighting with the barbarian Tartars here, and they are here to help!" ”

"Brother Xue, please get up, just call Li Rui Li Rui." Li Rui helped him up with a smile and looked him up and down.

Xue Rengui is about thirty years old, the same height as him, but he is more stocky, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face looks a little wooden.

"Li Rui saw that Brother Xue could also shoot down the feather arrows in the gallop just now, I wonder if he can dodge the bullets fired by the firebolt?"

Li Rui thought that he had half a bullet in his arms last night and failed to keep the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Uh, no!"

Xue Rengui also found that there were a lot of birds in this fort, and immediately shook his head a little wryly, and explained: "The strength of the brave lies in the way of using soldiers, after all, it is difficult for individual force to defeat a hundred people. ”

"yes, that's right."

Li Rui nodded, and was about to speak, but he heard a thunderous sound, which startled the young people around him.

The voice came from Xue Rengui's abdomen, and I saw him touch his stomach and say, "I'm a little hungry......"

"Hahaha~!"

When the young men saw him rushing to kill the enemy camp just now, they thought that this was a big fierce man, but when they looked at him at this time, he was dumbfounded, and the strong sense of contrast made many people laugh out loud.

Li Rui couldn't help laughing, pulled him to the bonfire, pointed to the horse that was baked on it, and said, "You can eat, you don't have to be polite." ”

"Thank you, General Lee."

Xue Rengui's eyes lit up with a fist salute, and he directly picked up the entire roasted horse leg on the bonfire, which was not too hot, and he opened his mouth to gnaw.

He ate so violently that he made the young people around him look stupid.

Li Rui had heard many legends about this famous general of the Tang Dynasty in his previous life, and the large amount of food was one of them, so it was not surprising, but he just introduced the defensive situation of Dajiao Fort to him.

Well, a famous general with a systematic ability value of 97 points is naturally not a stupid person, which may be understood as ...... Aged deeply!

Xue Rengui listened to this, and while gnawing on the horse's legs, he said: "General Li is really talented, no wonder there are so many Tartar corpses outside, and it is almost the limit to be able to arrange such a tight defense in such a short period of time." ”

"Almost? That is to say, it can be strengthened? Li Rui asked.

"There is only one, if the Tartars can attack the fortress wall, these young men are afraid that they will collapse at the touch of a button." Xue Rengui looked at the young men on the castle wall, and said in a low voice.

He knew that he would offend people by saying this, so he lowered his voice, and from this he could see that he was not a stupid person!

"How to strengthen?"

"Those young men who laughed when they saw Li Rui's stupidity were all organized into auxiliary troops, because most of these people were active, and if they saw the Tartar soldiers brave, they would definitely have the idea of escaping.

The rest of the young and strong people are organized into the main army, and then select honest and wooden people from among them, equip them with armor and sophisticated weapons in the fort, set heavy rewards and heavy punishments, and if the Tartars climb the fortress wall, let them go to fight the Tartars in close combat, or they can block the Tartars. Xue Rengui said in an orderly manner.

"Smack, why did Li Rui forget this stubble!" Li Rui slapped his head when he heard this.

In fact, this method of selecting troops is not a secret, and this is the case with the Qi family army trained by Qi Jiguang, which can be seen everywhere in military forums in later generations.

"You hurry up and eat, and after eating, go and select the available young people, led by you personally, and call the camp trapped, this team of young people will kill one of the Tartars, or be disabled and killed in battle, take fifty taels of silver, and if there are those who avoid the war, the whole family will be driven out of the big reef fort!"

Li Rui was also ruthless, because he knew that today would definitely be a decisive battle with the Tartars during the day.

Xue Rengui's arrival gave Li Rui another big help.

With Wu Meiniang managing the old and young women and children, and Xue Rengui helping to improve the method of dealing with the Tartars, Li Rui's tense spirit was relaxed, and for the first time, he really calmed down and carefully studied the profiteer system.

"Give Li Rui a hundred rounds of pistol ammunition first."

Now that he has more than 120,000 prestige points, Li Rui is naturally the first to exchange bullets.

Of the previous 10 fully loaded magazines, less than two magazines have been consumed, and this is the result of his deliberate sparing, otherwise with the rate of fire of the Kaka pistol's fully automatic mode, the trigger bullet will burst out as soon as he pulls the trigger.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully exchanging 100 pistol bullets and consuming 30,000 reputation points.] 】

As the system prompt sounded, a cardboard box suddenly appeared next to Li Rui, which was filled with yellow, orange and orange pistol bullets, and his reputation value also shrank from 12w+ to 9w+.

Li Rui took out the empty magazine on the tactical belt and pressed the bullet into it while checking the useful [substance] or [knowledge] that could be exchanged in the system.

There are a lot of useful materials and knowledge, and any one or two things can change the course of history, such as the high-yield grain varieties that Yuan Dashen made in later generations to feed more than a billion people, and the flintlock pistol technical knowledge that is two hundred years more advanced than the current West, and even the elixir that increases life expectancy.

But without exception, either the reputation value is not enough to redeem, or even if it is redeemed, it will not be used at this stage!

"Knowledge about gunpowder, give Li Rui a copy."

After a while, Li Rui slammed his mouth a little helplessly.

As mentioned earlier, the exchange of [knowledge] is more than 100 times cheaper than that of [substance], and a piece of knowledge about gunpowder only costs him 500 reputation points, which is 100 points cheaper than exchanging two bullets......

"Adding copper oxide to gunpowder can increase the power exponentially?"

After Li Rui digested the knowledge about gunpowder, he was overjoyed.

The key to preventing the Tartars from attacking the fort wall is the gunpowder bag, but because the gunpowder is not very powerful, less than five catties will not be lethal, so there are less than thirteen in the fort now.
