Chao Gai was also very happy and said, "Liu Tang, Wang Lun, Lu Fang, you are all okay." ”

Liu Tang said: "It's all good, but I miss Yuncheng a little." ”

"It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be, it doesn't feel like an island, it's just a little desolate, but I'm confident that it will be built here." Wang Lun said.

Later, Jiao Ting, Li Kui and others came over to say hello one by one, and the dock was full of the joy of reunion after a long absence.

After a few words of greeting, Liu Tang arranged for the more than 1,000 soldiers brought by Chao Gai to be stationed in the camp. Wang Lun is busy receiving the new 3,000 strong men, several consecutive transportations, there are already 20,000 strong men in the entire Black Dragon Island, the farm is full of strong men, and the ratio of men and women is greatly imbalanced, but now I can't think about finding a daughter-in-law for everyone, first to solve the current trouble, recently, the black wolf bandits have begun to harass the south one after another, and the situation is very critical.

In the camp, Chao Gai sat in the center, the generals were lined up on both sides, and Yan Kuohai, who served as the naval team, was still the first time to see Chao Gai, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

Chao Gai said: "Liu Tang, you first talk about the situation of reconnoitring the black wolf bandits. ”

Liu Tang walked over, pointed to the map and said: "The Black Wolf Bandit is located in the north of us, and it is only fifty or sixty miles north of the Dog Bear Ridge that is the territory of the Black Wolf Bandits, this group of people calls themselves the Black Wolf Tribe, but the indigenous people of the entire Black Dragon Island call it the Black Wolf Bandits. They don't farm, they don't graze, they rob all year round. The city lord of Black Dragon City Xiao has sent troops to chase and suppress them many times without success, their number is about four thousand to six thousand, everyone is a master of equestrianism, and they are difficult to deal with. ”

Chao Gai nodded: "A typical nomadic style of play, if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will run." We are good at infantry, and we are not afraid of attacking fortifications, but we are afraid of this tactic. Liu Tang: How do you want to play? ”

Liu Tang said: "It's best to use cavalry to fight them, now the reclamation camp has trained five hundred cavalry, plus one hundred cavalry brought by my brother, it is also a small six hundred cavalry, with the power of the divine arm crossbow, as long as one contact can kill hundreds of him, but our cavalry is too small to act alone." ”

Chao Gai nodded, this is indeed the case, the whole body is full of iron can fight a few Ding, although the six hundred elite cavalry is equipped with advanced crossbow arrows, it can not beat several times the cavalry, although the divine arm crossbow is powerful, but it is limited to one shot, after shooting the divine arm crossbow, you have to change the bow and arrow, and the advantage is not obvious after changing the bow and arrow, after all, it is against the nomads who grew up on horseback.

Li Kui said: "What's so difficult to break the enemy, find this bandit's lair, touch it in the middle of the night, and chop it all like cutting melons and vegetables." ”

Everyone laughed, and Li Kui asked, "What are you laughing at, is what I said wrong?" ”

Bao Xu signaled that Li Kuimo was embarrassed, and Chao Gai said: "You are right, but this black wolf bandit is a typical horse bandit, they don't occupy mountains, they don't have cities, and tents are home, so it's a little difficult to find their lair." ”

Li Kui was speechless for a long time: "I can't fight and I can't catch up, and I can't catch up with my infantry." ”

Chao Gai said: "No matter how cunning it is, it's useless, because we have to push it over this time and fight all the way to the northernmost part of Black Dragon Island, since there is no good way, we will use stupid methods to fight." ”

Everyone agreed, and Chao Gai asked again: "Liu Tang, which outpost is the most vulnerable to the attack of the black wolf bandits?" ”

Liu Tang said: "Now that the black wolf bandits are preparing for a large-scale southward movement, the Tunu River outpost is the most vulnerable. ”

Chao Gai nodded and said, "Xu Meng, take your men and weapons and go to the Tunu River outpost, when the outpost encounters an attack, it is when you experiment with weapons." ”

Liu Tang said: "The number of people at the outpost is not large, and it may be difficult to hold it in case of an attack by the enemy's large army. ”

Xu Meng is a rare talent, and there is absolutely no room for error, so he must be well protected.

Chao Gai looked at Li Kui and Bao Xu: "You two are uncomfortable when you are idle all day, take the soldiers of your battalion, hide and camp in the woods not far from the outpost, you don't have to worry about a small group of enemies attacking the outpost, in case there is a large group of men and horses attacking the outpost, no matter what, you have to protect Xu Meng, you know?" ”

Li Kui said: "I lost Xu Meng's head to see me." ”

Xu Meng and Li Kui went to the outpost, and Chao Gai and Liu Tang calculated their forces again. Now the strength is strong, plus the soldiers brought by Chao Gaixin, a total of 4,500 infantry and 600 cavalry.

There are more than 300 tiger squat cannons and lying cow cannons, large and small, which would be good if they were fortified, but they were for the cavalry of the nomadic nation to fight field battles.

The most important thing at the moment is to carry out cooperative training, after all, these soldiers are not trained together, and now they are under the unified command of Chao Gai, and they need to run in for a period of time.

Let's say that Xu Meng led twenty people to take this arquebus to the Tunu River outpost, the location of this outpost is too important, to build the south side of the Tunu River. In winter, the Tunu River has little water and thick ice, so you can cross the river anywhere. But now it's different, it's early summer, the river is fast, you have to cross the only stone bridge for dozens of miles to cross the river, the Tunu River outpost is built at the southern end of the bridge, can be described as a real bridgehead fortress.

The Tunu River outpost is strategically equipped with a platoon of infantry, a full 50 people, two Crouching Bull cannons and two Crouching Tiger cannons, and they are on duty in three shifts a day. As soon as Xu Meng came, he became the supreme leader of the Tunuhe outpost, after all, Xu Meng was at the level of a battalion commander.

Don't look at Xu Meng's scientific research, in fact, he is still very good at researching operations. As soon as he came, he replaced the two rejections on the original bridge with six.

One soldier was not convinced, and said: "Where are the enemy's horses so powerful, no matter how good the equestrian skills are, it is good to skip one rejection, but it is difficult to skip the second one." ”

Xu Meng said: "These people who live on horseback all year round are not what you think, their equestrian skills are very exquisite, this rejection of the horse looks quite bluffing, but it is easy to jump over, or use a hook to pull away, we not only have to add six rejection horses, but also to tie the rejection horses with ropes." ”

Military law is strict, you can question the leadership, but you can't disobey orders, although everyone thinks it's redundant, but they still carry it out seriously, drive stakes from the ground next to the bridgehead, and tie the rejecting horses on the bridge head with ropes.

The post has two floors, the first floor is the residence, and the backyard is the stable. On the second floor is the casemate, where four guns are placed. On the third floor are platforms and watchtowers, where the bows and arrows of the outpost are placed. Satisfied with this setup, he raised the ten arquebuses to the third level and aimed them at the bridgehead.

As soon as he was ready, Xu Meng's buttocks were not yet hot, when he heard the soldiers on the watchtower on the roof shouting: "About a hundred cavalry have come from the north, and they are three miles away, and they can't tell the enemy from us." ”

"Signal the Rangers at once, and all personnel are ready to fight." Xu Meng was really like that, put on his armor, put on a helmet, plugged his ears with cotton and went to the top of the building. By the time they reached the top of the building, the cavalry was already 500 meters away, and although it could not be judged that it was the enemy, it could be judged that it was not their own.

The soldiers who had studied it had already seen the terrifying wolf head on the heads of this group of people, and said, "It's a black wolf bandit, it's not wrong." ”

Xu Meng also saw the terrifying figure of the black wolf bandit three hundred meters away, and said, "Let's not panic, they think it's difficult to cross the bridge, just shoot step by step." ”

The black wolf bandit paused for a while, muttering at no idea what to say, and then shouted and screamed and rushed towards the Tunu River outpost.

The first to fire the cannon were two tiger squat cannons, boom, two solid iron eggs the size of small melons hit the charging horses, one hit the ground, but the other was also approved, hit the chest of a cavalryman, at that time the whole person was knocked off the horse, a mouthful of blood protruded, fell under the horse.

The black wolf bandits had seen the power of the tiger squat cannon, and they were unmoved, trampling the earth with iron hooves, raising smoke and dust in the sky, and soon charged over, and the distance from the outpost was only more than a hundred meters.

Xu Meng said: "Lie on the bull cannon to stabilize first, arquebus, fire." ”

"Yes." Ten arquebuses had already been loaded with solid projectiles, placed on top of the iron shelf, and fired, boom, boom, boom. The sound of the arquebus was not loud, it was like a large firecracker. In the first round, ten shots were fired and four black wolf riders were knocked down.

The black wolf bandit smiled proudly: "The Song people are just scaring people, and they have no lethal power, so they will kill the rejection of Mara." ”

The cavalrymen took out their hooks and threw them at the horses, pulling them back. The rejection horse is tied to a rope, and it is not easy to drive. Several horses couldn't pull their legs.

On the top of the outpost, Xu Meng was commanding there, shouting: "What are you panicking, how to train and how to fight." If you really die in battle, all kinds of pensions are enough for the whole family, and they are all stabilized by Lao Tzu. ”

The workers of these cannon foundries are also bloody men, Xu Meng is not so afraid when he says this, he quickly reloads the ammunition, and the second round of arquebuses fires, this time the distance is only about 100 meters, and the power has increased significantly. Xu Meng saw with his own eyes that a black wolf rider was hit in the chest by an arquebus, and his body fell off his horse with a shock. In the second round, five of them fell, but the distance was close, and I am afraid that those who fell were killed.

The black wolf was very annoyed when he saw that he refused to pull the horse, so he directly threw more than a dozen ropes, and more than a dozen war horses pulled together. The rejection horse was pulled and creaked.

Bang, the rope that tied the rejection horse was broken, and the three rejection horses were pulled away by them.

Xu Meng said: "Lying bull cannon, firing, beating the cavalry that rejects the horse." ”

The two Lying Niu cannons were already ready, lit the fuse, boom. Two cannon sounds, hundreds of iron sand flew out of the thick cannon barrel, the range of the lying cow cannon is about one hundred and fifty meters, but the bullet shot out is in the form of a fan, this guy two shells bombarded over, the dozen cavalry who dragged the horse was unlucky, the whole body was hit by iron sand, the hot iron sand into the meat, seven or eight fell off the horse on the spot, and the rest were taken away under the mad war horse.

The soldiers said, "It seems that the Lying Cow Cannon is still powerful." ”

Xu Meng was not discouraged, and said: "That's because the distance is close just now, only about a hundred meters." You let the Lying Bull Cannon hit a distance of 200 meters. ”
