Wanyan Pingtao waved his hand, so that Bai Shijie didn't have to do this, and asked: "Bai Tuiguan suggested that I use a foot pawn to press on the front, and the Ma army quickly attacked behind him with a kidnapping horse, just to deal with the cannon, right?" ”

Bai Shijie said: "That's right, if Chen Xian is a straw bag and leads the troops over to attack the city directly, then the general only needs to wait for him to attack the city in full swing, and then he can ride through his back, and he can be decided with one hammer." ”

"If Chen Xian still has some ability, he can guess that we cut off the trade road, there will be something to fear, he brought troops to come, should be prepared, eighty percent is unwilling to attack the city, if so, the general can go out first, attract his north, and when the battle is in full swing, the general will send the horse army out of the south forest, and surprise behind him, it will be able to fight."

Wanyan Pingtao nodded and said: "Listening to what those two people said, think about it carefully, although the cannon is extremely demoralizing, but the killing does not seem to be as terrible as it seems, the cavalry charges, and fast and fierce, the cavalry in the formation has no time to take care of anything else, and the gap between each other is large, this cannon is not as good as the infantry for the cavalry in terms of killing or morale, if it is according to what Bai Tuiguan said, it will be successful." ”

Wanyan Pingtao said again: "By the way, the two people just said that the cannon was loud, and it seemed to startle the horses, how to deal with it." ”

Bai Shijie said: "This matter is easy to do, I have prepared some silk cloth, and when the time comes, I will send it to the general's command, and let them plug the horses' ears before charging." ”

Wanyan Pingtao couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

The two talked until late at night before Bai Shijie said goodbye and left.

Early the next morning.

In the eyes of the people of Dong Zhuangzi, the wind and the sun are beautiful today, and everything seems normal.

In the eyes of some people in Xizhuangzi, today is a special day, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

In the afternoon, the people at the East Zhuangzi Flying Tiger Warehouse felt a little strange.

Nowadays, many of Chen Xian's factories need to use a large amount of coal for production, Chen Xian collects coal at a price two or even three times higher than the market price, not only the large merchants in Laiwu County have been attracted to transport coal, some small and medium-sized businesses, and even ordinary people with cars and horses at home also call relatives and friends to send coal to Dongzhuangzi in groups, and exchange coal for good soap and high-quality ironware from Chen's shop, and then transport it to Laiwu County for sale, this time and again, the profits are quite huge.

These scattered caravans, when they came, only transported coal, and had no value for looting, and when they returned, Chen Xian would organize the caravan and ask the Flying Tiger Mercenary Group to hire an armed group of mountain people to escort them.

Steady profits, coupled with the safety is guaranteed, more and more people are willing to transport coal to East Zhuangzi, and the big cars come to the Flying Tiger Warehouse almost endlessly every day.

Like today, by the afternoon there was not a single big car arriving, and it hadn't happened for a long time.

Although I thought it was strange, I just thought it was strange, and no one took this matter seriously and reported it to Chen Xian.

After another day, someone finally came with the news that the Bai family of Xizhuangzi blocked the road!

Hearing that someone had blocked the trade route, Chen Xian suddenly became nervous.

If there is anything that Chen Xian is most afraid of now, then the blockade of trade routes is definitely in the first place.

Chen Xian immediately asked Steward Yang to go to Xi Zhuangzi to inquire.

In the evening, Steward Yang, who left with the guards on his toes, came back with a bruised nose and swollen face, and the guards assigned to him were gone.

Seeing Chen Xian, Steward Yang knelt on the ground with a thud, and a person of his age was in tears.

The old man wept and told Chen Xian that he had just passed through the woods between the two Zhuangzi, and was blocked by a group of West Zhuangzi generals at the opposite intersection.

Steward Yang met Bai Shijun, the head of the Bai family in West Zhuangzi, in West Zhuangzi, and the other party was very angry, saying that Chen Xian privately occupied the ancestral field of the Bai family, which was a big rebellion, and the Bai family would never agree, and now the road to East Zhuangzi was cut off, just to give Chen Xian a warning, if Chen Xian is obsessed, he will regret it when the court sends troops.

Hearing that Xi Zhuangzi really turned his face and cut off the trade route, Chen Xian's heart couldn't help sinking, he forced himself to be calm, Wen Yan comforted Steward Yang, rewarded him with ten taels of silver, and sent him away.

After sending away Steward Yang, Chen Xian paced in the hall and thought about it.

It is impossible for Xi Zhuangzi to cut off his trade route for no reason, if it is really like what Bai Shijun said, it is just a warning of retaliation, so as not to wait until today to make a move, they should have reacted when Chen Xian took East Zhuangzi.

Xi Zhuangzi suddenly cut off the trade route today, and he must have something to rely on, otherwise with Bai Shijun's always weak temperament, he would definitely not do such a risky and impulsive thing.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, Chen Xian still understands, so he has long used the young man who was recruited and brainwashed in Xi Zhuangzi to establish a simple intelligence team in Xi Zhuangzi to collect some peripheral intelligence, so he still has heard of the weak character of Xi Zhuangzi outside the white staff.

So, what will be the reliance of Xi Zhuangzi? Which big thief in Yimeng Mountain is it? Or are they really officers and soldiers from Dongping Mansion?

Whatever it is, there must be a large army entering, why didn't the beacon respond?

Don't?

Chen Xian instantly thought of the possibility that the beacon tower would be destroyed by the enemy.

Because the old beacon tower has been lit once, if there is an enemy who wants to deal with Chen Xian, eighty percent will knock out his beacon tower first, and it is precisely because of this that Chen Xian will give up the previous beacon tower with an excellent location, and when building a new beacon tower, he also took into account the concealment, and purchased a relatively high Orion's house to transform it into a pier.

But even so, after a long time, it is difficult for this kind of pier to hide from the hunters in the mountains, as long as the enemy has the heart, it is not impossible to find a new pier.

If the pier platform is really destroyed, then the enemy who came this time may not be easy to deal with.

After thinking about it, Chen Xian issued two orders, the first order was that he asked people to go to the outpost north of Xinzhuangzi to change the people who were on duty last night back, and he had to inquire carefully.

In the second order, Chen Xian asked all the militia from the Orion in the mountains under his command to come over.

Over the years, many of the hunters around Dongzhuangzi have defected to Chen Xian.

In the past, the reason why the hunters did not go down the mountain was not because they were unwilling, but because no one was willing to take them in.

Most of the people in this era are grouped by clans, and people with foreign surnames are easily excluded and oppressed, and those mountain people are all unruly, and they are easy to cause trouble when they receive Zhuangzi, and after a long time, the landlord and strong Zhuangzi will basically not take in the mountain people.

Chen Xian himself is an outsider, there is no clan, he basically treats everyone equally, under the introduction of the mountain people apprentices that Chen Xian first took in, so many mountain people have taken refuge in Chen Xian over the years, several Zhuangzi add up to more than 100 households, and almost all of the strong laborers in these hunters are the backbone and big and small leaders of the militia in each Zhuangzi.

After Chen Xian gathered his Orion militia, he divided them into two, and one part cooperated with two teams composed of sword and shield soldiers and axe and spearmen to go to the beacon tower on the south bank of the Yi River to check the situation, if the beacon tower was really ended, then they would take the beacon back.

The other half of the mountain militia was sent by Chen Xian to escort some teenagers from Xizhuangzi to see if they could sneak back to Xizhuangzi at night and find out what was going on in Xizhuangzi.
