He had to go out to fight in the field, and Chen Xian's three Zhuangzi were far from being self-sufficient in grain so far, and they all relied on the Yang and Bai families who threatened Dongzhuangzi to sell him grain.

Such an army will block all his foreign trade, and trade, for Chen Xian, is life.

If you defend the city, you are tantamount to putting your lifeblood in the hands of the other party.

The other party did not need to attack the city at all, only needed to be stationed outside the Zhuangzi for two months, and the new Zhuangzi, which had cut off trade, would not fight and be in chaos.

Chen Xian didn't dare to delay, he couldn't afford to delay, he could only take the initiative to fight, and he had to fight quickly!

Thinking about this, Chen Xian knew that he could only go out of the city to fight.

Chen Xian is a person who cherishes his life, but he cherishes his life, not because he is afraid of death, but because he does not want to die as worthless and meaningless.

When stretching out his head is a knife and shrinking his head is also a knife, Chen Xian does not spare his life, rather than being trapped in the city of sorrow and dying in despair, it is better to fight to the death, and it can be regarded as a vigorous death.

In fact, he could have given up everything and fled alone with a rifle, but Chen Xian would never do that.

Just as a gangster with nothing can easily die in the world, it is difficult for a millionaire with a successful career to make such a determination.

These three small Zhuangzi have poured too much effort, hope and ideal into him...... And feelings...... When he thought of the students who admired him as heaven and as a god, he felt that if he gave up on them, he would be giving up his qualifications as human beings.

If Chen Xian stays and leads these students to fight, there may be a glimmer of hope in the matter, if Chen Xian escapes, these students who are still full of confidence at this time will immediately become a plate of loose sand, headless flies, become lambs in other people's plates, and usher in a tragic fate.

He must stay, for his own efforts, for his ideals, and for the sake of these teenagers who rely on him and trust him......

The decision has been made, Chen Xian no longer thinks about it, he gathered the four companies in the open space outside the new Zhuangzi, and made a brief mobilization, in fact, there is no need to do too much mobilization, these teenagers under the education and guidance of Chen Xian, full of beliefs and ideals that this era does not have, they are willing to fight for this belief, this ideal, and their teachers to fight and die.

After ordering the officers to inspect the dry rations and equipment of all the soldiers, and asked the newly established artillery company to put five artillery carts on mules and horses, and everything was in order, Chen Xian took the lead and slowly left the wooden fence gate of Xinzhuangzi with the team.

This time, Chen Xian was wearing the same set of armor that crossed with him, carrying a semi-automatic rifle on his back, holding four large guns in his hand, fully armed, this time he would not, and could no longer hide behind these teenagers.

For this expedition, the young people under Chen Xian, including the people in Zhuangzi, were not too worried, they believed in Chen Xian too much, and even reached the level of superstition.

Only Chen Xian himself knows that this will be a life of nine deaths.

There was a forest seven or eight miles wide between East Zhuangzi and West Zhuangzi, and Chen Xian led the team to reach the intersection on the east side of the forest in advance before Liu Erzu's team passed through the woods, and quickly set up a battle formation.

Chen Xian scattered the four companies and formed four small phalanxes.

Because of the lack of manpower, the entire artillery company actually had less than thirty people.

Chen Xian ordered five small cannons to be arranged in a ∧ shape, with the three-catty cannon at the top of the front of the ∧, the two two-catty cannons arranged in the left and right rear of the three-catty cannon, and the two three-catty cannons at the end.

Four infantry companies lined up behind the five small guns, allowing the artillery positions to stand out.

When the artillery company needed protection, four infantry companies only needed a few steps forward to clamp the artillery company in the middle of the infantry formation.

When Chen Xian was in formation, there were scattered detectives snooping in the woods, and Chen Xian didn't pay attention to him.

Conventionally speaking, in the era of cold weapons, when the army moves, the scout cavalry should be scattered out for thirty miles.

This is to give the army time to react.

When a large army marches, it is impossible to line up a large formation during the battle, such a formation is dozens or even hundreds of meters wide, and there is no road that can accommodate it, so walking over, I don't know how many crops will be trampled on, and the rivers and mountains on the road, some places cannot be walked at all.

Therefore, when the army marches, it can only be a long snake.

Such a marching formation, once it encounters a sudden attack, it is easy to be truncated into several sections, and the array is too long to command at all, and once it is attacked, it is easy to become a mess.

Therefore, the operation of the large army will definitely send scout cavalry, so that the enemy can be detected in advance, and the time to change the formation will be gained, and the marching formation will be changed to a battle formation before engaging the enemy.

If the army is too numerous, it is necessary not only to send scouts, but also to arrange forward guards to buy time for the army.

Inferring from the time when the scout cavalry appeared, the scout cavalry of this army was only about fifteen miles out, which is not difficult to understand, the number of opponents is not large, and there is a space of fifteen miles, which is enough to change formations, in addition, for a bandit army, it is already good to be able to spill the scout cavalry out fifteen miles.

After the scout found Chen Xian outside the exit of the forest, he observed for a while, and then divided into two, one part stayed in the forest to continue to monitor Chen Xian, and the other part outside the forest turned around and galloped towards the road from which he came.

After Chen Xian lined up and waited for about half an hour, he saw a flock of birds flying in the sky above the woods from a distance......

Soon after, a group of cavalry rushed out of the woods, bypassed Chen Xian's phalanx from the nearby farmland, and galloped away.

Then there was no movement in the woods.

Chen Xian was not in a hurry, just stood in place and waited slowly.

After a while, a young man suddenly emerged from a nearby sorghum field, and he quickly ran to Chen Xian's phalanx, and the soldiers on the periphery of the phalanx seemed to recognize him and let him into the phalanx

Chen Xian was standing behind the first company phalanx in front of the left side of the large array, and the young man ran to his side and whispered a few words to him.

After hearing this, Chen Xian nodded to him and expressed his appreciation, and the young man smiled and ran away, plunging into the sorghum field again.

This young man was born in Orion, and his father was a hunter released by Chen Xian at the beginning.

At the beginning, there were dozens of Orion teenagers who defected to Chen Xian one after another, and after these teenagers were reformed by Chen Xian, they in turn persuaded their families to settle in Xinzhuangzi.

Now most of the families of these teenagers have settled in Chen Xian's Zhuangzi, they do not know how to farm, nor do they want to go to the construction site to work, and still go into the mountains to hunt for a living, but they are now hunting not to survive, but to earn extra money, because their son's salary plus the production of the land is enough to feed the family.

Under the influence of these teenagers and their families, more and more mountain people have defected to Chen Xian in the past two years.

Chen Xian gathered these teenagers together, conducted targeted training, and set up a reconnaissance company.

Instead of training phalanxes, these teenagers trained in scouting, stealth, lurking, camouflage, swimming, wilderness survival, martial arts, archery, and even horsemanship.

Chen Xian got a small number of war horses, and gave them priority to this company, and he personally taught them, teaching them riding skills, wild survival and other courses.
