This night was destined to be unpeaceful, thousands of people silently dug trenches, carried wood and stone, craftsmen also used cement to build low walls that did not know what to do, for a time within a radius of a hundred miles of torches, cars and horses, a busy scene, there was no panic when the war came.

Because when people looked up into the distance, Shen Xing and his family were sitting in a dilapidated house that had been burned by gold thieves.

The sun is rising, the dust raised by thousands of horses galloping in the endless wilderness covers the sky and the sun, and two war horses roar up the hill not far away, and immediately sit two middle-aged men with rat tails and shiny foreheads, burly figures, and daunting eyes.

"Brother Seven, in one more hour, the army can go to the outskirts of Zhulu, whether to let the children get off the horse and rest and eat some dry food, they have all run all night!" Abatai looked ahead and nodded, and behind him, the herald drew his flag and ran quickly to the highest point waving.

The army instantly reined in its horses, ordered it to be forbidden, and did not collide in the slightest panic. "Last night, Ha'er was seriously injured, and the other three were killed on the spot, which I didn't expect, it seems that this rich kid has some ability!" Azig laughed when he heard Abatai's words.

"Seventh brother, I'm too worried, the Ming army has long been frightened by my full iron horse, how capable a rich merchant young master will be, 100,000 grains, and that battalion of firearms, all of which are in the pocket of my army, and people who came also said that the young master's lady is as beautiful as a fairy, and Seventh Brother should not compete with the younger brother when he arrives." The two brothers looked at each other and smiled playfully.

The homeless people had been hungry and dizzy after a night's labor, and at this time, the big bowl of hot broth steamed buns was delivered in time, and everyone almost ran over to rob them, but the Xiuchun knives held high by the brocade guards were cold and intimidating.

"Everyone can hear what the young owner just said, everyone lined up to receive broth steamed buns, spears, hand bullets, three people in a team, as for the usage, the team leader who is guarding with you will explain in detail, those who dare to retreat and surrender will be killed, and your family can stand in the back."

Wu Xianlu said that his cold eyes swept over everyone, the escapee died, not only did he die, but the whole family would die, and if he died bravely, his family would enjoy a bereavement pension, and he would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver if he was lucky to be alive! Shen Xing said clearly, the Zhuang people he brought were originally carefully selected, and he didn't have to worry about the reliability, but these temporary strong men were brought in, and they could dig pits to transport grain.

If you really want to let them face the wolf-like Manchu Iron Cavalry head-to-head, Shen Xing is still a little drumming in his heart, he really doesn't want them to contribute much at the moment, just don't help and drag his feet back when fighting.

The Divine Machine Battalion Firecrackers and Shen Xing's own temporary shield soldiers and strong crossbowmen were all placed at the forefront. The Shenji Battalion is responsible for the important task of "guarding the Beijing division internally and preparing for the war outside", and is in charge of training firearms and accompanying the officers and soldiers of the escort horse team, and is a strategic mobile force under the direct command of the imperial court.

Different from the establishment of the garrison of the guard station in the early Ming Dynasty, its highest establishment level is the battalion, with 2 commanders and ministers, 2 military attachés, and 2 chief officers in charge; The battalion is organized into five armies: the middle army, the left sentry, the right sentry, the left outpost, and the right outpost, each with 1 camp minister and 1 military minister, except for the four divisions under the Chinese army, the rest each receive three divisions.

Each division has 1 gun supervisor, 1 officer, and 2 card officers. The battalion specializes in sharpshooters and artillery. Later, he had to supervise Tan Guangma 5,000 horses, called 5,000 battalions, attached to the Shenji battalion, and set up officials such as the armies below the Shenji battalion, and the battalion was organized into four divisions, and each division set up 2 officers.

Strength of the whole battalion: 3,600 infantry (full with firearms); cavalry 1,000 men; 400 artillery personnel (managing field heavy artillery and Dalian pearl artillery); A total of 5,000 officers and soldiers.

Armament with firearms: 3,600 bolts (infantry guns); 9,000 pounds of combined medicine; 900,000 lead weights; Dalian Bead Cannon 200 rods (multi-barreled firecracker); 675 kg of combined medication; 400 handles (artillery self-defense handguns); 160 generals (field heavy artillery).

According to historical records, in order to ensure long-term continuous shooting, the Shenji Battalion usually used the "three-stage attack" tactic, which was divided into three platoons, and the first platoon was fired by soldiers in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th positions of the queue.

Then the soldiers in the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th and other positions in the queue were shot. The soldiers in the front row immediately handed the guns back to the soldiers in the middle row after each shot, and at the same time took the loaded guns from the soldiers in the middle row.

On the one hand, the soldiers in the middle row are responsible for taking the guns from the soldiers in the front row and passing them back to the soldiers in the third row to load the ammunition; On the other hand, he is responsible for taking the loaded ammunition from the hands of the soldiers in the third row and passing it forward to the soldiers in the previous row. Such repeated rotation is very powerful.

But in Chongzhen's hands, it will shrink greatly, and maybe the ones he sent out to Shen Xing are all miscellaneous troops, after all, his old boy is very timid, and good things must be kept for himself to defend the Jingshi.

There are 3,000 people in the full fight, except for some logistics personnel, gunners, gunners, and cavalry 900 each, although the guns are much less, but the artillery is all new-type Franc several cannons are much more powerful, and the five Hongyi cannons that can bombard two miles are the highest configuration, and they are also their strongest killer weapons.

Jin Yiwei's personal combat strength is not bad and he has his own mount, and he and the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion are combined into a team, serving as the overseer and the final charge and killing, and it is also Shen Xing's last support for arranging his escape, after all, two thousand hands hold the Xiuchun knife and the new type of chopping knife that represent the highest craftsmanship of this era.

Although it was not enough to carry the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry, it was more than enough to cover the rear of the palace. Artillery bombardment from a distance was the first line of defense, the second line of crossbow firebolts, and the third line of hand-held bombs in the trenches dug overnight. Finally, the newly built low walls around it forced the cessation of horses, and the three-edged spears met in short arms.

With four powerful blows, plus tens of thousands of horse traps all over the front line, Shen Xing thought in his heart, even if you are invincible in the Manchu Dynasty, today, Young Master Ben, a layman, will let your army die at least half before it arrives in front of the battle.

And as long as Lu Xiangsheng is really as heroic as in history, the request for help sent by himself can also be answered, and when the center blooms, it will be attacked from all sides, and Huang Taiji, a thousand iron horses, will not be properly thrown here, but I can think of how this central happy strategy will flash Zhang Lingfu on Meng Lianggu in his mind, and the Shanqi Brigade who was killed by Commander Li in the bright sword.

The skull hurt a little, and Shen Xing excitedly snatched the little black pig Niu Niu in Chen Yuanyuan's arms next to him is a fat beating, because this shameless guy took advantage of his distraction and put the pig's mouth into the broth and chirped and ate happily. Yuan Yuan screamed and pushed Shen Xing away, recaptured the piglet, and stroked it again and again in distress.
