The Fan family's convoy galloped towards the north, in the woods on the side of the official road, two people covered with leaves stood up, if they didn't move, others looked at it, I am afraid it would be extremely difficult to find them, only to see one of them say to the person next to him, "The goods are out of the closet, you go and tell the master"

"Yes!" The man ran out of the woods quickly, turned over on his horse from the other side, and ran towards the southern city of Taiyuan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A moment later, in the southern city of Taiyuan, a carrier pigeon flew out of the ridge and flew towards the north.

The man who was left in the woods, watching the convoy go farther and farther, knew that there was no point in staying here, and slowly bent down and retreated towards the woods, but at this moment, he stopped abruptly and pressed his right hand on the waist knife hanging from his left waist.

With a "brush", the long knife in this person's hand instantly slashed behind him, and when there were a few crisp sounds, it was the long knife in his hand and several long knives that collided fiercely.

This person missed a blow, and by releasing the gap in the fight, he quickly jumped behind him, but as soon as he fought, this person knew that any of these people in front of him were opponents! What's more, there are three or four people on the other side, if you don't run, you can only be caught with your hands tied!

He just paused for this leap, but he felt a black head on his head, and then a pain in the back of his head, and he didn't know anything when it was dark in front of him. The few people who were originally standing in front of this person rushed up, carried the unconscious person, and ran towards the grange next to him.

At this moment, Yang Quan didn't know that for this convoy, there were already people fighting in secret, he himself was standing next to the official road at the moment, looking at the dense team under his subordinates, wiping the sweat on his head, from Shangbao Fort to the border between Xuanfu and Datong, there were more than 100 miles, according to the beating nature of the Ming army today, the infantry traveled 20 miles a day, that is, a first-class strong army, but this kind of speed was not what he Yang Quan wanted, the soldiers of other branches of the army were better, but Hao Fugui's firearms soldiers, The speed is indeed a little slow, there is no way, who let the firearms battalion have some heavy weapons such as artillery and firearms, even if the firearms battalion is now carrying the tiger squat cannon invented by Qi Jiguang, it can be converted, this artillery also has sixty or seventy catties, although the Ming Dynasty is now the era of population explosion, but the price of population growth, that is, ordinary people, not to mention nutrition, is to fill the stomach, it is also a problem.

In this environment, the ordinary soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, both in height and physique, were much shorter than those big men in the early Ming Dynasty. Correspondingly, the physical fitness of these soldiers has also declined greatly, if in later generations, the mortar artillery squad in the field army, carrying a long-distance attack weighing dozens of pounds of gun barrels, it is in the ordinary training, but in the eyes of today's Ming soldiers, this is definitely a difficult task to complete, because of the reduction in meat intake, these soldiers do not say that they ran away with this artillery barrel, it is difficult to carry it to a long distance, this is still the reason why the soldiers of the Tuntian Division are under the training of Yang Quan, if it is an ordinary Ming soldier, it is even more unbearable.

But fortunately, they didn't have much else in the Tuntian Division, that is, there were many ox carts and carriages, and Yang Quan had no choice but to concentrate these artillery pieces on the carriage, and the firearms soldiers barely kept up with the speed of the other teams, so they didn't pull it down.

When night fell, the team led by Yang Quan had just walked half the way, and it would indeed be a little difficult to reach Shunsheng Mountain at this speed. And at this moment, Yang Quan has some tricky things, that is, where they are now, there is no place for them to rest, there is no place to go to the village or the back, and even where they go, they can't figure it out, and in desperation, Yang Quan can only let the soldiers camp in this barren mountain and wilderness.

"Hou Qi arranged for the soldiers to be on duty, Xia Liuhao Fugui, the two of you arranged the manpower according to the rules, and the Luchai trench was strictly followed," Yang Quan looked at the dark and dreary sky, and somehow became a little upset in his heart, he forced himself to calm his mood and commanded with a calm face.

"Yes!" Several people knew that it was normal for Yang Quan to be cautious in this strange place, so they scattered one after another and began to prepare. Yang Quan didn't know how to arrange the vigilance in the wilderness camping in this era, so he didn't talk much, the layman led the insider, and the result was that the insider became an outsider.

The soldiers began to arrange the camping places in accordance with the regulations, and tents were also erected, because they had to hurry, this time they came out, they didn't bring many tents, and they could barely let the soldiers have a place to sleep, even Yang Quan and them could only get together with the soldiers. In the Tuntian Division, when the army went out to fight, the officers had to huddle together with the soldiers. This is what Yang Quan and Lu Xiangsheng learned, if you want the soldiers to listen to you, in addition to strict military discipline, you also have to get along with the soldiers day and night, only by taking the lead, so that you can get the love of the soldiers.

For example, when Lu Xiangsheng exterminated the peasant army in the south, there was a time when the food did not come up, and the soldiers in the army did not eat, and there were attendants who cooked food for Lu Xiangsheng, but Lu Xiangsheng did not eat, and starved with the soldiers. In today's Tuntian Division, Yang Quan learned this set, as long as it was wartime, all the officers did not open a small stove, and shared weal and woe with the soldiers. Therefore, although the soldiers of the Tuntian Division are all tired and half dead, none of them cry out for grievances, because Yang Quan and the various management teams also came together.

Yang Quan squeezed into a tent, and the soldiers squeezed together, the wind blew from the tent, everyone in the tent had already fallen asleep tired, in the snoring sound one after another, Yang Quan had no sleep, tomorrow, tomorrow night, those guys' team will come, tomorrow must rush over!

At this time, in the cellar of Fanjia Grange outside Taiyuan City, a man was tied to a wooden stake, and in the middle of the cellar, the firewood in a brazier was burning, and next to the brazier, the short and fat man was staring closely. He was holding a white object in his hand, which seemed to have blood stains on it.

"Tell me, who sent you? Qiao's family? Or the Qi family? Hehe, we are all Shanxi Jin businessmen, and we are all in the same spirit, but I didn't expect that the people in us would start to do it to their own people. The short and fat man sitting on the chair looked at the mottled blood stains on this person's body and said lightly.

"I'm just passing by, I'm just going to make it convenient, where do I know about the Qiao family of the Qi family, please let the little one go, the small family has the old and the young, if I am gone, there is no way for the family to live." The man on the stake opened his eyes and said to the short and fat man. (To be continued.) )
