Cheng Yi was enthusiastically boiled by Ji Qingwen's words, and finally calmed down and asked, "Lord Ji, are you serious?" ”

"! When Lao Tzu said this kind of thing, when should he not be serious? If you don't believe me, you can ask my brothers in the Ming Wujun now, have you ever blinked when you saw Lao Tzu rewarding people? Have you ever shaken your hands? Ji Qingwen immediately scolded back.

Cheng Yi was scolded by Ji Qingwen a few more words, his face turned purple, like a piece of burnt pork liver, he hurriedly turned his head and shouted to the officers and soldiers of the two thousand Beijing Division Battalion who had lined up behind him: "Lord Ji's words, have you all heard clearly?" ”

The sergeants of the Jingshi Battalion were already excited, and immediately shouted in unison: "Hear clearly! ”

"Okay, just listen clearly." Cheng Yi said, "If you kill the enemy bravely, Lord Ji's reward is indispensable for you." If you dare to take a step back, you don't need Lord Ji to kill you with the sword of the Son of Heaven, Lao Tzu will swing a knife and cut off your head, not only kill you, but also kill your whole family when you go back! Don't blame me for talking ugly! ”

Cheng Yi's words are a bit excessive, but now that morale is being stimulated, Ji Qingwen can't say anything to correct or stop it.

After Chengyi finished speaking, Ji Qingwen added: "Okay, it's good to have this heart." Chengyi, the command of the Jingshi Battalion will be handed over to you for the time being, do you dare to take it? ”

Of course Cheng Yi dared to take it, and he wanted to take it, but it was one thing to accept it or not, and it was another thing to give it or not - the nominal commander of the Beijing Division Battalion was still the chief eunuch Shen Liangzuo, whether to let Cheng Yi command the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Division Battalion on his behalf had to be decided by the great eunuch.

So Cheng Yi turned his head away and stared at Shen Liangzuo with an expectant look.

Shen Liangzuo had heard Ji Qingwen and Chengyi's words clearly on the side, and he had already been subdued by Ji Qingwen with both soft and hard methods, so he didn't dare to or have the slightest objection to Ji Qingwen's suggestion, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed.

In this way, Cheng Yi, with the support of Ji Qingwen, temporarily took over the command of the Beijing Division.

After clarifying the responsibilities and powers of the three armies, Ji Qingwen ordered the army to beat drums and set off artillery, and the Ming Wu Army, the White Pole Soldiers and the sergeants of the Jingshi Battalion opened the camp that was only half of the camp was built, and lined up with their backs against Wulong Mountain to meet the main force of the White Lotus Sect that was about to kill them.

Since the American Revolutionary War, modern land warfare has completely entered the era of hot weapons, and has abandoned the combat mode of "shooting" each other with muskets in the formation of the two armies, and has gradually adopted a flexible and mobile straggler formation.

Ji Qingwen knows this.

However, the process of historical development is irreversible and insurmountable, and in the 17th century at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although it began to gradually popularize the hot weapons of muskets and artillery, the degree of organization of soldiers has not yet entered modern times, so it is still necessary to organize battles by arranging formations.

However, Ji Qingwen is a layman, and it is all up to Li Yan, Yang Zhan, including Li Yuanyin, Qin Xiangzhen and others to discuss and decide.

The Ming Wu Army and the White Pole Soldiers are all elite divisions, and the Beijing Division Battalion is slightly worse, but the action is quite fast. In just a few moments, these three parts of the army, a total of more than 5,000 people, lined up in formation.

I saw this large array, with the two thousand spear formations of white pole soldiers as the core; The left flank by the river was guarded by the Ming army; On the side of the hill on the right flank were lined up with 2,000 soldiers of the Beijing Division. At the same time, considering that the combat effectiveness of the Jingshi battalion was slightly poor, and the Ming Wu army had strong combat effectiveness and firearms to assist in the battle, the left flank was slightly protruding, and it could take the lead in engaging the main force of the White Lotus Sect and withstand the main pressure from the opposite side.

After the formation was arranged, Ji Qingwen ordered again, and pushed out the two chariots that he had worked so hard to operate from Suzhou Daben to Wenzhou, and placed them directly in front of the white pole soldiers.

Qin Xiangzhen was unhappy, and when he summoned Ji Qingwen, he asked, "Lord Ji, what's the matter with your two wooden lumps?" Standing in front of our army, hindering our army from fighting the enemy! Why don't you push it away? ”

Ji Qingwen said with a smile: "Miss Qin, these two cars are not ordinary lumps of wood, when it comes to combat effectiveness, these two cars alone are worth two thousand elite soldiers!" ”

Qin Xiangzhen knocked on the side of the chariot and said: "This thing is sturdy and sturdy, at most it can block the enemy's arrows, if it can be compared to thousands of troops and horses, why don't I believe it?" Lord Ji, let's push it away, I'm still waiting to fight the demon girl of the White Lotus Sect! ”

Ji Qingwen was about to explain the power of this chariot to Qin Xiangzhen in detail, but he heard Li Yuanyin report: "Lord Ji, the vanguard of the White Lotus Sect in front is almost here. As he spoke, he pointed to the eastern horizon.

Ji Qingwen lifted the telescope hanging around his neck, looked ahead, and sure enough, he saw twenty or thirty people wearing variegated clothes and riding bad horses, quickly approaching his side.

After Ji Qingwen traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he also fought a few battles solidly, looking at the appearance of these people, he easily guessed that these people were just scouts of the White Lotus Sect, and they were not their main force, so he didn't pay attention to it.

But I heard Qin Xiangzhen ask: "Lord Ji, what kind of Western thing is this in your hand?" I held it up and looked at it for a long time, is there a Western view in it? ”

Ji Qingwen explained the function of the telescope to Qin Xiangzhen with a smile, then took off the telescope from his neck, handed it to Qin Xiangzhen, and said, "Towards here, just look ahead." ”

Qin Xiangzhen raised the telescope to take a look, but was startled, quickly took off the mirror, looked at it again, and then said, "Yo, scared me to death, I thought that the White Lotus Sect had killed us...... However, this thing is very useful, although it is scary, but it can see the opponent's reality clearly. Come on, Master Ji's family has a big business, so this thing can be given to me. ”

Ji Qingwen has a lot of money, and the telescope is not a particularly valuable object, Ji Qingwen nodded, and said that he would send it.

Qin Xiangzhen held the telescope he had just obtained and looked at it for a long time, and said: "It seems that this group of people is the spies of the White Lotus Sect, fortunately, there are not many people, why don't we go over and come to him first, and increase the morale of our army." ”

Ji Qingwen discussed a few words with Li Yan, taking advantage of the small number of opponents, it was not a bad thing to frustrate the spirit of the White Lotus Sect first, so he agreed to Qin Xiangzhen's request, and recruited Huang Degong and Yang Zhan, and asked them to go with Qin Xiangzhen to meet the vanguard scouts of the White Lotus Sect for a while.

When these three people heard the order, they immediately picked up their respective weapons, and strode forward with a majestic and high-spirited spirit, and Ji Qingwen was also busy ordering the army to beat the war drums and perform with great strength.

I saw these three people, Qin Xiangzhen was holding a white-pole spear that was more than two zhang long, the iron rod in Huang Degong's hand was also long and heavy, and although Yang Zhan only wore an ordinary official knife, he carried another strong bow in his hand.

Seeing that the twenty or so cavalrymen of the White Lotus Sect were running to a distance of thirty or fifty steps away from Qin Xiangzhen and them, Yang Zhan suddenly drew his bow and arrow, and after a little aim, he sent an arrow forward. As the bowstring vibrate, the arrow shot out violently, hitting the front door of a White Lotus Sect cavalryman who was crotching his horse.

Such a horse was originally used by the peasants to pull and grind, and it was not as good as a war horse that had been in a hundred battles, and it could not bear the pain at all, so he immediately raised his four hooves, lifted off the cavalry riding north on his horse, and then fled.

Seeing this, the rest of the White Lotus Sect's cavalry all tightened their reins and slowed down, and were about to observe the situation ahead, but another arrow came at them, but it hit one of the cavalrymen in the chest, killing him on the spot, and he fell from his horse suddenly.

This was followed by a series of three arrows, either hitting the horses or the cavalry on the horses' backs.

Seeing that the twenty or thirty cavalrymen of the White Lotus Sect were about to be shot to death by Yang Zhan, Qin Xiangzhen was in a hurry and said, "General Yang, you should stop, and leave a few White Lotus Sect bandits to kill me." With that, Qin Xiangzhen raised his spear and rushed forward to kill.

Before Huang Degong went to battle, he listened to Ji Qingwen's instructions - he must protect the safety of General Qin Xiangzhen, so he saw that Qin Xiangzhen had killed him single-handedly, so he also hurriedly chased after him.

Yang Zhan, who had only shot less than ten arrows, saw that the two of them had already killed in front, blocking the range of his bow and arrows, so he had to sigh slightly, and followed the front to kill.
