The soldiers and horses lined up from the city of Chongqing were divided into three teams, all of which were foot soldiers, with 3,000 men in the front team, 4,000 in the Chinese army, and 3,000 people in the rear team, separated by five miles from each other, and marched one after another.

The banner is unfurled, the soldiers are fighting iron horses, the tiger is vigorous, the mighty army marches on the official road, like a stream of iron, marching forward with indomitable steps, the sound of neat footsteps echoes in the air, the hearers do not change color, there is no one on the official road immediately, and the pedestrians have long been hiding to the side, for fear of meeting the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers of these years are even more terrifying than the thieves.

The leading general is called Yang Zhan, about forty years old, square face and wide mouth, a body of muscles as solid as a gorilla, is the deputy general of the general Zeng Ying, the two have worked together for many years, from Zeng Ying was still under He Tengjiao began to be introduced as a thousand general, fierce by nature, military background, fighting like a mad dog to die, holding a big knife naked and charging forward, and extremely powerful, the usual big knife weighs forty pounds, can dance like a windmill splashed with water, very much like the Ming Dynasty fierce general Liu Ting, people give the nickname "Sai Zhang Fei", is Zeng Ying's next class cronies and love generals.

At this moment, he is riding on a tall horse, surrounded by soldiers on the left and right, very high-spirited, looking forward to being very proud, this is also very natural, because Zeng Ying taught him before setting off, this is the right time to go to the stone pillar, the army of 10,000 people, whip the stream, the small stone pillar will definitely be wiped out, as long as the Tubaozhai silver mine is completely controlled, it will be a great achievement to come back, and the output of the silver mine will also have his share.

Hehe, I heard that the silver mine produces a thousand gold every day, even if Zeng Ying gives himself one-tenth of the harvest, he will soon become a rich man by day, and when the time comes, he will be able to buy an estate, seal the official shadow, and buy a lord is just around the corner.

As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Yang Zhan's mouth cracked to the root of his ears, and he blurted out an uncontrollable laugh.

For this battle, he didn't have the slightest worry, the stone pillar white pole soldiers are indeed prestigious, in exchange for a few years ago, with 10,000 soldiers and horses to the stone pillar to die, he would never dare, although Qin Liangyu is old, the white pole soldiers are not vegetarians.

But now, he can put a hundred hearts at ease, because in the battle with Zhang Xianzhong a few years ago, Chen Shiqi's stupid pig exhausted the soldiers and horses in Sichuan, not only did not drive Zhang Xianzhong away, but also lost the splendid Tianfu, and the white pole soldiers in Sichuan were all wiped out. In the end, Zeng Ying's Huguang soldiers were cheaper, and they occupied Chongqing Mansion and other places in Sichuan, and now in terms of combat power, Zeng Ying is definitely the best in Sichuan, and the 10,000 people he brought are first-class soldiers wherever he goes, and the few remaining people in the stone pillar are pressed to death with a finger.

However, Yang Zhan has been in the army for many years and has rich experience, although the lion fights the rabbit, there are still rules for what to do, the front, middle and rear armies are neatly arranged, in order, and the people do not speak nonsense during the march, and are silent and quiet.

The person who can drive away Zhang Xianzhong still has some ability.

This is Chen Xiang's conclusion.

He drove a donkey cart, loaded with ordnance and goods, mixed in the rear army's baggage camp, and slowly moved forward with the army.

When the army is dispatched, the key weapons and ordnance will not all be carried by the soldiers, so they may go to the place, and the people are too tired to get up, so the army generally has heavy vehicles, if it is not enough, it depends on requisition.

Chen is quite a big car shop, there are many cars and horses, and the owner has an old relationship with Zeng Ying, of course, he was requisitioned into the army, Zeng Ying naturally will not give money, but there is a promise in advance, if the silver mine is seized, some silver taels will be compensated, the owner is very happy, and all the carriage and horse men are sent out, and the army is incorporated into the baggage camp, Chen Xiang, as a strong laborer, is also one of them.

This greatly facilitated Chen Xiang's spy work, and he didn't go far, he inquired about the names of the leading generals, the number of troops, the formation of the team, and so on, wrote them in crooked words, put them in bamboo tubes, and handed them over to his subordinates to pass them back to Wanshou Valley.

How did Yang Zhan know that before he touched the edge of the stone pillar, the other party had touched everything about himself, but he didn't care, the army was crushed, no matter what conspiracy and trickery you had, in the face of absolute strength, they were all scum.

……

Wang Huan, with only one hundred and fifty soldiers under his command and three thousand peasants, had already rushed to the Black Valley in advance and met with Ma Long, who was staying here.

The explosives on Kwafu Mountain have been buried, the fuses are ready, and they can detonate at any time.

Wang Huan sat on a big rock outside the sky, looking at a bamboo letter sent back by Chen Xiangxin.

"There are 3,000 birds in command out of 10,000 people, this Zeng Ying is really rich." Wang Huan looked at the letter and couldn't help but sigh.

Bird Tong, the Ming army is widely equipped with firearms, almost every total soldier of the nine-sided army has a different number, the inland guard soldiers also have some equipment, users have mixed reviews of it, the majority of the detractors, and even some people think that because of the use of firearms, the army is no longer hand-to-hand combat, lost the courage to fight to the death, is the main culprit of the defeat of the Ming army to the Jianzhou Tartars.

In this regard, Wang Huan disagreed, the power of firearms, in the era of cold weapons, is definitely the killing effect of the generation, although the bird system has this or that imperfection, but when used properly, it is sharper than bows and arrows, crossbow arrows, and has a bad reputation, but it is the user's own reason.

How can you get these 3,000 birds into your own hands? Wang Huan fell into deep thought.

It is impossible for Yang Zhan to obediently give himself the bird system like this.

Chen believes that the middle of the sentence is clear, 3,000 birds are in command, 1,000 are equipped with the front army, and 2,000 are equipped with the Chinese army, if the mountain is blown up and tons of stones fall down, although Yang Zhan's 10,000 people will die, but the bird commander should not want to take it, and he can't dig it out.

Wang Huan walked back and forth in the first-line sky, the narrow mountain road that is more than a mile long, the time of half a pillar of incense has passed, the mountain road is narrow, 10,000 people can only march in a single queue, and there are at most 1,000 people in the first-line sky at the same time, and it is impossible to bury 10,000 people in the bombing mountain.

Wang Huan looked up at the towering mountain, thought about it for a long time, and had a plan.

He summoned Ma Xintian and Ma Long, and ordered the two of them to lead the original fifty white-pole soldiers, armed with mountain-destroying crossbows, to guard at the exit of the first line of heaven, and stop and shoot all of Yang Zhan's former army scouts, and not let any of them back.

Shelter the battlefield, that's the first thing to do.

Can't let Yang Zhan know that he has made so many small moves here, and he can only be caught off guard by killing him.

The two of them took the order to go, Wang Huan called the ancestor again, and asked him to lead a peasant team of 600 people, in groups of three, to practice using the huge oar shield, the oar shield is nearly two people high, all of them are arranged one by one, connected by iron nails, and the front is paved with a layer of wooden planks, which is as thick as one foot, and it is extremely heavy, and one person can't carry it at all, and three people must work together to lift it.

Because of its heaviness, the use of the oar shield is heavily dependent on the terrain, and only in this kind of valley mouth area, the army is inconvenient to move, and the opponent has no cavalry, and there is no room to move, the oar and shield can be of great use.

The rest of the peasants, Wang Huan didn't think about what they did at all, when the time came, they would be at the back, just raise the wooden stick in their hands and make a strong voice, after all, in the era of cold weapons, more people represent strength.

Wang Huan waited for three days on the first line of heaven, and early on the morning of the fourth day, the first Yang Zhan's scout horse scout came out of the exit of the first line of heaven.
