Captain Wang Xingwu hurriedly left with the main force of the county brigade, and the construction site of the hexagonal watchtower suddenly became deserted. Bricks, stones, square logs and cement bags that had already been shipped were scattered around the site.

What to do, this fortress is still not repaired? Everyone's eyes were looking at Shi Yunxiao, the deputy squadron leader who was as thin as a doll.

Shi Yunxiao did not hesitate, shouting for quick repair, what if the local tyrant took advantage of the situation to sneak attack?

This phrase immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

Most of these soldiers were natives of Yilong County, and they knew best the brutal virtues of the local tyrants. If the fort had not been built to accommodate the thirty-six men, the soldiers who remained outside would surely die.

However, these soldiers have no strength and drive, and they are really outsiders to the technical work of bricklaying. Under the guidance of a few part-time masons, they were able to barely keep the walls they were building.

Two days have passed, and the hexagonal watchtower has grown crookedly and a full foot taller. Now the third and fourth floors of the watchtower can stand people, and the first and second floors can store materials.

However, Shi Yunxiao was not satisfied, because a row of people was crowded on the third and fourth floors, the ground was narrow and there were many people, and the weapon could not be used at all. The two spears, which were nearly a foot long, were even more difficult to move back and forth. So Shi Yunxiao ordered to add two feet to the top of the fourth layer of the breast wall, and put up the upper wood to form the floor of the fifth layer. Considering that the wall was not very strong, this layer was built according to the length of a short spear, which was only about six feet high.

The open-air platform on the top of the watchtower is nailed with a four-foot-high wooden fence around it, and two layers of straw mats are hung on the wooden fence as a simple breastwork. In this way, the open-air platform serves as a firing platform for two guns, which makes it easy for the bulky guns to maneuver fire.

The bricks and stones that could be used to defend the city were picked up and put into the watchtower.

Looking at the hexagonal towers standing up, the soldiers wiped their sweat and dust, and each smiled with white teeth. As long as enough food and water are stocked, this watchtower is a strong fortress.

……

Shi Yunxiao's measures are very timely. At dinner time on the 25th of the first month, just as he was ready, thousands of local thugs from Renhe Village had quietly entered the land less than ten miles east of Tumenchang from the mountain path. As for his vicinity, there are also 500 local thugs lurking, waiting for it to attack as soon as it gets dark.

Most of the local rioters in Bashan are locals and are very well-informed. Wang Xingwu left Jincheng Walled, and as soon as he left with his front foot, the news of his back foot was reported to the surrounding local rioters.

Zhang Guang of Qixingzhai not only knew about the departure of the main force of the Yilong County Brigade, but also knew that Yuan Keyi, the owner of Renhe Village, had already taken thousands of people to attack Jincheng Walled. He had the intention to have a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, attacking Yuan Keyi from behind and picking up a cheap one. But he needed a grand reason so that his gang of thugs would not be suspicious.

Qixingzhai is about 50 miles east of Jincheng Wall, hidden in the col surrounded by mountains on three sides, if outsiders do not have an inner line to lead the way, they can't get in and can't get out.

On the sunny slope of the col, there are hundreds of houses of all kinds scattered here and there. The largest and best one in the middle is the Juyi Hall of Qixingzhai. Below the slope roof behind the Juyi Hall is the courtyard where the new head of Qixingzhai, the fourth generation of Zhang Guang, lives with him.

Zhang Guangbei is no stranger to this place, Jiang Chengren fled back from Changping Mountain in embarrassment a few months ago, and it was he who personally sent some of his grain and silver here, helping Jiang Chengren quickly recover his vitality, thus earning himself a reputation for righteousness.

This time Guang'an retreated, Jiang Wan, who was ordered to be behind the palace, led about six or seven hundred remnants of the defeated army to flee to Xiuping Mountain, which escaped the three-sided attack of the Protector Army from the front and rear and the left flank, and was lucky to save his life. But Xiuping Mountain hangs alone outside the city of Guang'an, there is no rescue outside, no grain and grass inside, sitting

Wait, sooner or later it's still a dead word. Moreover, in addition to the 500 people in Zhang Guangpei's headquarters, the local rioters who fled in completely lost their structure, and there were people and horses on all hills. They gasped and panicked, wanting to surrender and fearing that the Ming Dynasty would liquidate their sins. At this time, they all looked at the resourceful and decisive Bai Wuchang Zhang Guangpei.

Zhang Guangpei really lived up to expectations, led the defeated generals of more than 1,000 remnants to find a gap in the iron wall of the Protector Army and rushed out, and intercepted the Protector Army's baggage grain team on the way, and grabbed more than 100 stones of grain that could continue his life, which made his local tyrants admire.

When he returned to Qixingzhai, before he could catch his breath, Jiang Wan, the elder of the three dynasties in the earth riot, immediately went to the table to persuade him to ask Zhang Guang to inherit the mantle and become the fourth generation of Tiandong. The bandits were clamoring for a while, so Zhang Guang accompanied him to sit on the top spot in the Justice Hall in a half-push and half-push. And Jiang Wan, with his seniority as a veteran of the Four Dynasties and his power in Qixingzhai, became the second leader of the bandits.

When the day was bright, Zhang Guang walked out of his house, and several women were admonished by the new master, and they did not dare to step out of the courtyard gate, so they knelt at the courtyard gate to send them off. Jiang Wan, who had been waiting behind the Juyi Hall early in the morning, saw this scene from afar, so he laughed, climbed the zigzag steps on the hillside, and greeted Zhang Guang.

Taking advantage of the fact that Jiang Wan was still some distance away, Zhang Songsheng, the captain of the personal soldiers accompanied by Zhang Guang, asked in a low voice: "Deputy Bureau, have you received the information from Renhezhai?" ”

Zhang Guang stroked his newly grown beard under his chin, and said quietly: "I received it last night, the southern county brigade moved, the Yilong County brigade moved, and even Renhe Zhai moved. Probably something big happened in Boryeong! ”

"So what do we do?"

"There are a lot of ways, but it's hard to grasp. That old Yuan is still Yuan Tao's sworn brother after all! ”

Seeing that Jiang Wan was about to approach, Zhang Guang raised his head slightly, smiled, and raised his voice: "Who is the most prodigal girl in Renhe Village?" ……”

This Zhang Guang accompanies people to fight for righteousness, there is nothing bad about it, it is just lustful. Not only do I like to play, but I also like to make those women die! Jiang Wan smiled in his heart and said loudly: "The ladies of Renhe Village are good, in the past few years, Yuanshan Pig has robbed hundreds of women, and the good-looking ones are all kept for themselves...... However, in charge of the plate, the brothers value the grain and silver of Renhe Village more! If you can't get these two things back recently...... Although Yuan Shanzhu did not lay down Yingshan, I heard that he laid several large earthen fences near Pengzhou and Yingshan, and robbed piles of grain and silver! ”

Jiang Wan said this head-on, and Zhang Guangpei had no choice but to face it head-on: "Old Jiang, it's not that I don't look at the grain and silver of Hongren and the village, and it's not that I don't know that the three thousand people in the village are about to run out of food again. ”

Zhang Guang showed a look of embarrassment as he spoke, and spread his hands: "It's just that there is a way to steal!" After all, he and I used to be under the Heavens King. This has to turn the face, and there must be a reason! In the future, if the king asks for it, we will have a saying! Besides, the main force of his one or two thousand men is still there. If he knew that the lair was served by us, he would not fight the royal army, but would lead people to beat us...... With the thousands of brothers left now, isn't that the end of losing both? ”

"The palm of the plate is the palm of the plate, everything is righteous, and there is no last resort, no wonder the brothers are so impressed!"

Zhang Guang's words made Jiang Wan convinced, he walked a few steps quickly, and greeted Zhang Guang and said: "Last time we went out of the mountain to buy grain, the silver was robbed by Yuan Shanzhu's people, is this the reason to turn around and do it?" ”

Zhang Guang stopped, turned around and asked, "Have you found out about the silver robbery?" Is it really the people of Renhe Village who did it? ”

"This ......," Jiang Wan smiled awkwardly, "the boat went down the water, just past Renhe Village." If it weren't for Renhezhai doing it, who would dare to touch our shaking tiger whiskers? There is not a single ghost within a radius of dozens of miles! ”

"That makes sense!

”

"Besides, I heard that after the King of Heaven evacuated Qu County, he had retreated to Jiangkou Town, Bazhou (now Pingchang County), just east of us. If the King of Heaven does not go north to Bazhou, but comes west to our side, and this boar echoes in the south, then you ......"

Jiang Wan's words are clearly reminding Zhang Guang: Don't forget that you are also a traitor to Yuan Tao, the king of heaven!

"That'...... So, today we will convene the brethren to take a meeting. If you want to fight, you have to win! Also win clean! ”

"Okay!"

When Jiang succeeded, he excitedly clenched his fists and arched his farewell, and hurriedly convened the meeting.

Zhang Guang watched Jiang Wan's figure disappear into the front yard of the Juyi Hall, with a faint smile on his face. And Zhang Songsheng, who was behind Zhang Guangpei, was his eyes emitting cold light.

……

On the top of a hill not far to the east of Tumenchang, Yuan Keyi, a mountain tiger, and a few of his subordinates were taking advantage of the evening glow to condescendingly investigate the movement of the target.

From the figure and face of Yuan Keyi, the mountain tiger, I can't find the slightest shadow of a tiger. If you insist on being linked to a certain animal, it can only be compared to a pig that is about to come out of the pen. But the pig is said to be one of the most intelligent animals, so his stature and physiognomy only illustrate that there is truth to an old adage:

People with pig appearance, the heart is bright.

Yuan Keyi has been very proud recently.

In the first two months, he echoed the king of Zhengtian out of Bashan, although he did not conquer the two counties of Pengzhou and Yingshan, but taking advantage of the short golden time of trapping the royal army in the city, he robbed the city passes of the two states and counties, and broke several earthen enclosures of large households in villages and towns on the outskirts of the city. Population, food, and silver, he grabbed a lot of money.

When the reinforcements of the palace army arrived in Pengzhou, he immediately made a decision, quickly retreated, and ran away into Bashan. By the time the palace army brigade crossed Yingshan and launched a fierce attack on Qu County, drove Yuan Tao, the king of the heavens, out of Qu County, and surrounded the shaking heavens of Guang'an and Yuechi and the Black Tiger Chaotian Star Department, he had already fled back to the old nest Renhe Village, and happily counted his spoils.

Now the number of local thugs who can fight under his command has increased from more than 1,000 to 3,000 or 4,000. It's just that most of them are forced to join the gang, and they have no combat effectiveness in a short time. But Yuan Keyi didn't care, the new daughter-in-law would have to scream pain for a few days when she entered the cave room! When these newcomers kill people and see blood, they will be as easy to use as then!

Yuan Keyi was going to take advantage of the main force of the Wangfu Army to stay on the line of Qujiang and Ba River, and suddenly attack the transportation line from Xinzheng Dam to Jincheng Wall. This transportation line is the lifeline of food and salary for the Jiadeng Joint Department and the Jincheng Walled City of Yilong County, which are on the front line in Bazhou.

As the food route of the official army and the national army, Yuan Keyi has no plans to cut it off for a long time. He just planned to grab a handful and leave, leaving something to lose. The location of the start was initially selected in the Tumen Field between the Xinzheng Dam and the Jincheng Walled City. According to the information obtained by his spies, there were often grain teams in Tumen Field to spend the night. Tumenchang and the nearby Changping Mountain only have less than 400 defenders, and all of them are the native soldiers of the Zhu family in Changping Village incorporated by the Protector Army, and their combat effectiveness is very weak. However, the Jincheng Walled City in the north and the Xinzheng Dam in the south both have the main force of about 1,000 people of the Wangfu Army, and it will only take a few hours for reinforcements to come.

Just when Yuan Keyi was hesitating about whether to launch an attack, several good news came back and forth: the main forces of the Wangfu Army of Jincheng Walled and Xinzheng Dam were all transferred westward. Even the Tumen Field has transferred dozens of people!

Don't miss the opportunity, never miss it again!

Yuan Keyi was overjoyed, and immediately made arrangements: with 500 people to feint to attack the Jincheng Walled, so that the Jincheng Walled garrison could not send reinforcements. 700 people feinted to attack Changping Mountain and Xinzheng Dam to contain the two royal armies. He personally led more than 2,000 main forces to raid the Tumen Field with a thunderous force. After succeeding, turn to attack the New Deal Dam and turn the feint attack into a real attack!
