In Fang Tianding's big tent, the ground and shelves were full of things brought back by the orphan army.

When the orphans retreated, they tried to bring a few of the things they could get, so that they had some equipment that everyone in the tent could see.

There is a one-handed knife, with a total length of less than two feet, a thick tip and a sharp edge.

There was a strange tip of the spear, not in the form of a sheet, but like an awl with three openings.

There is a hidden mystery of the bamboo and wood helmet, smashed open only to find that there is a layer of iron in the middle, no wonder it is so powerful to block the arrow.

There is a dark brown on the outside, yellow-gray on the inside, similar to bamboo armor, and I don't know how the bamboo and paper are glued together, but it is stronger than ordinary paper armor.

There are also a few bows that are only one head lower than those of adults, and the pull is not very great, and I don't know what the mystery is.

Fang Tianding picked up a one-handed knife and waved it twice, "It's interesting, it's clever enough." The opponent's spears, spears, swords, and shields all have strong gauntlets, which are very advantageous for recruits to use. ”

Ying Ming looked at a few straight bows and felt very familiar, as if he had seen them not long ago. His cronies reminded him, and he immediately remembered.

"General Fang, you may know the details of the Great Zhou army in the mountains and forests, but you don't dare to guarantee it." Ying Ming first stated a point, and waited for Fang Tian to fix his head before continuing:

"Not long ago, Biao sent thousands of people through the mountains and mountains to reach the Anji Valley to help Xu Bai deal with a strange Great Zhou army. A lot of materials were seized from the Great Zhou army, and there were dozens of stick-like bows in them. ”

"Thinking about it in hindsight, if it weren't for the mistake, the subordinates directly blocked half of the Fangla army outside, maybe until now, the Great Zhou army is still there."

At that time, the Great Zhou Army once used Kong Ming lanterns to inspire the fighting spirit of Liu Chengdong's department. The Great Zhou Army that appeared this afternoon was obviously recruited by Liu Chengdong with a few Kong Ming lanterns. Therefore, his subordinates believe that today's Great Zhou Army is the Great Zhou Army that appeared in Anji County, that is, the army of Liu Chengdong's son-in-law in the mouth of the prisoners of the Great Zhou Army. ”

Fang Tianding synthesized the information of Ying Ming and the Orphan Army General, and tortured the few Liu Chengdong prisoners who were captured from the city wall, and finally determined the origin of the Great Zhou Army that suddenly appeared this afternoon: a township soldier led by a civil hero!

The name Li Xiang quickly reached the ears of the highest level of the Yongle Dynasty.

After arranging the important matter of strengthening the defense, Fang Tianding let everyone leave.

Fang Tianding carefully searched for the small battles that happened not long ago that Ying Ming said, as well as the fight between the orphan army and the other party in the evening, wanting to see Li Xiang's battle formation ideas from them, and then find out the weaknesses of the other party.

Before you know it, half of the time has passed.

"Crackle!"

The slight popping of the candle wick woke up Fang Tianding, who had not fallen asleep deeply.

Fang Tian tightened the white gib robe that his wife had sewn for him, picked the wick with a dagger, and then thought about how the battle should be adjusted in the next few days. Liu Chengdong's son-in-law, who has an unknown number of troops, is in the mountains and forests in the north, and he must not only pay great attention when attacking the city, but also dedicate at least two or three thousand troops to keep an eye on the mountains and forests.

Coupled with the problem of grain and grass and epidemic prevention, Fang Tianding's head was almost on fire.

After thinking about it for so long, he didn't have the idea of solving the problem, and Fang Tianding was a little irritable. At this moment, the small colonel who was in charge of the night vigil of the big camp came to the tent and said that there was an urgent report.

Fang Tianding quickly walked out of the big tent and stood on the only high ground in the barracks, looking west.

Ying Ming also quickly rushed over, his expression was as heavy as Fang Tianding's.

In the northwest of Deqing County, along the winding, unpredictable mountain road, you can faintly see the firelight.

Ying Ming sighed, "The small village at the southeast corner of Mogan Mountain was actually patronized by Li Xiang's family so quickly. I prevented the Great Zhou army from moving south from Tiger Pond further north, so I put a few hundred sergeants there. I don't know what the outcome of the battle will be, how many troops does Li Xiang still have? ”

"In the evening, I have sent two groups of people there to report, and both have returned."

"Our people are prepared in advance, and let's see the results. If he is still defeated quickly, it means that there are more people in Li Xiang's hands. Otherwise, how can you run back and forth in the mountains and keep fighting? I'm tired and I'm going to die of exhaustion. ”

Ying Ming and Fang Tianding didn't believe it, Li Xiang's subordinates only had the ones that the orphan army faced in the afternoon, and they all thought that Li Xiang's gang was sure to use less than 400 people to fight against the 800 orphan army.

Fang Tian nodded, "Li Xiang has led people to kill from the mountain road further east, that small village is of little value, and it can be given up at any time, but it must be fortified step by step." ”

"General Ying Ming, what do you think is the most difficult place for Li Xiang to deal with?"

Ying Ming thought for a while, and finally held back two words, "Rich!" ”

The small village at the southeast corner of Mogan Mountain was laid down by Yang Yingdong in less than half an hour.

Yang Yingdong took more than 20 village owners and guards and nearly 100 martial artists who wanted to be ashamed, endured intense fatigue, tied a torch and a rope for every ten people, and quietly rushed to the vicinity of the small village.

The course of the battle is simple.

The small village had no walls, and Yang Yingdong and they first used a round of throwing axes, throwing spears, and bows and arrows to solve the soldiers of the Fangla Army guarding the intersection. Then he rushed into the best courtyard and killed the undressed Colonel Fang Lajun on the bed, and the rest of the Fang Lajun collapsed.

In order to cause more miscalculations for Fang Tianding, Yang Yingdong followed the instructions of the owner of the village, and asked dozens of his subordinates to cut back and forth in the small village, and also asked them to change their weapons at least once. Coupled with the sound arranged in advance on the eastern hill and the clothes propped up by wooden poles, Yang Yingdong was confident that he could deceive the panicked soldiers of the Fangla Army.

Li Xiang arranged more than one harassment tonight.

At three o'clock, fifty Zhuang Ding, under the leadership of Ding Shihang, walked out of the mountains and forests to the east.

Ding Shihang led his people to avoid the inspection of Fang Lajun's army several times, and went up the river and approached the eastern city wall. After shooting a secret letter into the city, Ding Shihang led people to scatter the girl and run away, and killed a small number of Fang La troops who were blocking the road before the Fang La army gathered, and ran into the mountains and forests.

At the ugly moment, the big bull rushed out of the mountains and forests with a hundred people who were half of each of the martial arts and Zhuang Ding, shouted and killed along the small river, and when he saw people, he shot arrows first, and then went up to fight.

However, Fang Tianding and Ying had arrangements tomorrow morning, and they almost outflanked the big bull team. Seeing that he couldn't take advantage of it, Da Niu had to run back stupidly.

At two o'clock, the ridgeline of Shenjia Mountain was in the tent of the owner.

"Owner, it's really rude, how can this be done?"

After Fang Weiliang was tired and paralyzed, he woke up and found that he had slept in the tent of the owner, and he was suddenly clever.

Li Xiang hasn't slept yet. He had just finished dealing with the food, grass and the wounded, and he had to wait for the results of several harassment operations arranged, how could he sleep?

Li Xiang was boiling soup with the iron pot set up in the tent, adding food to himself and Fang Weiliang. said that it was a meal, but in fact, the only thing in it that could be regarded as meat was a dozen or so bird eggs.

"Don't clean up, a tent has been vacated, and the owner of the village will go over to rest later." Li Xiang saw Fang Weiliang hurriedly tidying up the bed, so he reminded loudly: "Drink hot soup later, sleep beautifully, and wake up fine." ”

"This is what the doctor said, not what the owner of the village said."

"It's not good if you go out now, and the wind is blowing wet, and something goes wrong. The owner still needs you to continue to work, not to mention that your first grandchild is about to be born, right? ”

Fang Weiliang's nose was sour, and he accepted the favor of the owner, "Thank you, Lord Zhuang." In the next drag on the owner, must recover as soon as possible. ”

"Don't be so sour, drink the soup first." Li Xiang filled the two large wooden bowls to the brim and handed one to Fang Weiliang.

The two Mazha had already been put away, and Li Xiang sat down with a big grin, and drank a small plate of pickled radish on the stump.

Fang Weiliang's stomach growled, and he was not polite, he also sat down with a hem, and drank soup like the owner.

"Owner, what's here?"

"That's right, it's a few wild vegetables that Takeo from the neighborhood knows. It's really interesting to think about, when I was in Mingyue Village, I couldn't eat meat, so I wanted to eat meat all day long. Now I haven't eaten fresh vegetables for a day, and I can't stand it. ”

"I have heard a lot of villagers talk about how the owner of the village used to open up the mountains and forests. It's really relaxing, but it's a pity that it came down late......"
