Chapter XXVIII

"Damn it! Uncle Qin, prepare the army, we don't have much time! ”

Qin Cang exclaimed and summoned Qin Chuan, Baoyin, and Qiao Su.

Qin Siliang nervously repeated what he had interrogated.

"According to the bandits, they received a bounty, and then they made a special observation of the army of the Relaya people! They have an army of hundreds of people, and a slave catcher team of hundreds of people is ready to go!! Qin Siliang's words made the steady Qin Chuan break out in a cold sweat!

If it weren't for Qin Cang's insistence on sending cavalry to search for the Greeks and bandits, I'm afraid that Chizhou would still be kept in the dark now! Thinking that Chizhou was surrounded by thousands of Kaffa Genoese troops, it was a nightmare!

Without him, the terrain of Chizhou is naturally not suitable for defending the city!

Because Chishu is on the seashore, this place is attached to the surrounding higher areas with a subsidence-like terrain.

That is to say, the Genoese attack is condescending! Nature has the advantage of being from a high position! And the mines on the north slope, west slope, and northwest are all tens or even hundreds of meters higher than Chizhou!

The guns of the Genoese can directly bombard Qin Cang's Chizhou City as a target!

"If only Governor Kaffa really has the latest new cannon! Although this is very unlikely. Because this new type of cannon has just appeared. It stands to reason that the current continent should still be in the popular period of small cannons. But if you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if! Qin Cang said anxiously.

"Relax...... There are so many soldiers and horses in Chizhou, how can they not stop the soldiers and horses of that group of merchants. Qin Chuan comforted Qin Cang, but the effect didn't look so good.

"Don't talk about that. Pack it all up, let's go to the Great Iron Prison now! Let them speed up! Put the apprentices all in! We need more shoes and spear heads! This...... I'm afraid I'm going to fill people's lives! ”

Qin Cang and the others rushed to the big iron prison non-stop, and Qiao Bao was working overtime with a mine pickaxe.

"Old Joe! Stopped, stopped! Don't fight the farm tools first! Qin Cang hurriedly grabbed Qiao Bao, who saw Qin Cang coming, and worked harder to strike iron.

"Huh? Childe, this mine pickaxe can't be beaten if it doesn't work! Two dead in the mines! Qiao Bao said sweating profusely.

Qin Cang looked at the surrounding fiery iron stove and the crowded group of apprentices, and took Qiao Bao to Qiao Bao's exclusive room.

"Old Joe! I won't hide it from you, but a thief has killed him. There are hundreds! From now on, you can start working with all your might, and make me the gun head and the shoe! Put all the apprentices in it, and build as many as you want! Qin Cang's expectant eyes stared at Qiao Bao, which made Qiao Blacksmith very stressed.

"Uh..... Well, I tried my best. It should be possible to have nearly twenty spearheads and seventy or eighty hooves one day! After thinking about it, Qiao Bao gave Qin Cang an answer.

"It's not enough...... Is there still a way? Qin Cang also hopes to squeeze out the production capacity of Qiao's treasure.

Qiao Bao is also innocent. "The big iron supervisor is such a small number of people, it's good to be able to fight so much! Lao Er is really incompetent! Or..... Or you'll save me! ”

"Gotta get it! Shut up! That's it! If the army does not set out, you will not stop working for a day! ”

Qin Cang immediately took people and ran away again.

"Army! All men must get on the horse! We can only defeat the Genoese by horse! We now have three thousand horses in our pasture, right? We are not in a position to pick and choose and pull out all the horses of the right age! We have thousands of men! I don't believe it, a thousand horses can't beat the Genoese spear artillery! ”

The city of Chishu was immediately plunged into the railroad tracks of war. It's like an indomitable one-way street, running farther and faster on the way to the broken bridge!

"Head Joe! What do you think of this fight? I've found the structure more stable! ”

"Who! Why are you soft again? Is the tip so soft? ”

"Where's the sabre?! And what about the borrowed saber? ”

.......

The Great Iron Supervisor was caught in an unparalleled busyness. A large number of apprentices had to enter the blacksmith's furnace in advance and pick up the hammer with the masters.

And that's it, new apprentices are constantly being added. Qiao Antai could only helplessly watch as there were fewer and fewer boys in his school.

The team began to drill.

The former one-week training has become a two-day training. Qiao's clan got on the horse under the beating and scolding of the captain of the production team. I've been here for half a year, and it's really hard to learn how to ride a horse. In this place, horses are the means of transportation.

But Qin Cang also had to admit that the performance of the Qiao clan's people on the horse was indeed unsuccessful. Many Tatars and Rus' simply complained to him, why didn't they get off their horses?

"Let the Qiao clan be dragoons. They can go to war without riding horses. Qin Cang had no choice but to agree to their request under heavy pressure.

So there were only about 800 cavalry left. There are more than 200 women in it.

Then there were four hundred Qiao clansmen. They were all armed with spears, and in the front row there were wooden shields lined with wood, and thirty men who had practiced their musket skills and took the thirty muskets.

In this way, the tasks of the production team were all handed over to the women.

For several days, the hooves of horses roared in the pastures to the west! That's the cavalry cavalry team practicing the encirclement impact! The spear is like a forest, and that is the Qiao clan is nervously practicing the technique of spear combined attack.

Even Qin Cang personally joined the horse team!

The skillful martial arts that he has practiced since he was a child have not been left behind, and Qin Cang can be regarded as a hero as a teenager on the horse, whether it is a bow and arrow or a scimitar, Qin Cang is not worthy!

......

There was an inexplicable gust of wind blowing on the grassland, which made Qin Siliang a little uncomfortable.

Qin Siliang accepted a covert mission to track down the Genoese army.

Whether it is Qin Cang or Qiao Su, or Baoyin Qin Chuan, they all know one thing, Shou Chizhou will die!

Therefore, the Han could only rely on cavalry to fight the Genoese to the death in the vast steppe! Therefore, the task on the shoulders of Qin Siliang at this moment is very important!

Qin Siliang returned to the road from Kaffa to Chizhou.

The Genoese army set out much slower than Qin Siliang. Then Qin Siliang wandered the steppe for several days and found traces of the Genoese.

It was a scattered camp.

Qin Siliang lay on his stomach in the field, watching the people in the camp go in and out.

The roaring sound of horses' hooves represented the existence of Tatar mercenaries, and Qin Siliang couldn't understand the quarrels that sounded from time to time, but his heart became more and more nervous.

After noon, the camp was opened.

Rows of unarmored soldiers with spears, men carrying firearms for new gadgets, and a large group of Tatar cavalry galloped around. A group of noble-looking guys rode horses and pointed behind.
