"Brother Xie, now that it has passed the abundance, you will be able to reach Yongping in two days, and when you arrive in Yongping, there should be no more danger. Ma Ang turned his head to look at the long convoy and said worriedly, although his words were comforting people, but Xie Hong felt that his eldest brother needed the comfort of others more.

"This is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, what danger will there be under the Lang Lang Qian?" Xie Hong said lightly.

"But isn't it, with a certain and eight hundred sons here, who can hurt half a hair of Brother Xie?" Jiang Bin grinned and laughed nonchalantly, he reached out and patted Ma Ang's shoulder, and then pointed behind him, "In addition to us, there are also a thousand soldiers and horses from the Shenji Battalion, and even several cannons have been pulled, Brother Ma, are you still afraid of a ball?" Unless the generals in Jizhen really don't want to die and pull tens of thousands of people over, what can we do if we are a little dangerous? What's more, Brother Xie has already arranged it, you can rest assured. ”

Jiang Bin looked down on the Shenji Battalion earlier, but after suffering hardships, he also discovered the sharpness of firearms, which has improved. However, he still didn't think that the Shenji Battalion was very powerful, at least in the field, the role of the cannon and the firearm was not very obvious, and it really depended on him and his border troops to fight.

Although the Guards are now famous, they are actually the kind that are more famous than powerful. The main reason for winning at the beginning was Xie Hong's psychological warfare, in fact, except for street fighting, they didn't have much to handle, after all, they had only been trained for a few months, and they were a bunch of teenagers, far from reaching the level of elite troops.

Three thousand guards are very useful as the backbone to expand the army, but if they are allowed to go to the battlefield now, it is too rash, not to mention that Xie Hong has a lot of calculations when he goes out of Beijing this time, and it is more convenient for the border army to use it.

In order to integrate the troops of the Beijing battalion, many people in the border army have dispersed from each battalion to become a general colonel, especially those who are wounded or older, for them, it is a little reluctant to go to the battlefield, but the training of the commander is more than enough.

So, after removing these people, plus the dozens of people who died in the offensive and defensive battles of the Ordnance Division, Xie Hong was able to bring out only the current more than 800 people, plus the 500 firecrackers and 500 artillery of the Shenji Battalion, which was all the strength he had on hand, and Ma Ang's worries also came from this.

"Actually, the general cannon is useless, why do you have to carry it? If it weren't for the ten cannons dragging behind, our marching speed would have been faster, Brother Xie, you must know that the soldiers are fast......" Ma Ang looked back and began to mutter.

Don't look at the city wall that can't open the Ordnance Division, but in fact, it is also a heavy weapon, each with thousands of catties, it is really troublesome to carry, if it is not for Xie Hong's shock-absorbing car, I am afraid that the team's travel speed will be slower.

"Then you'll know that the cannon works." Xie Hong smiled mysteriously: "It's okay, we can't go fast without that cannon, last time we went from Xuanfu to the capital, it was all the army, and it turned out to be a few days, not to mention that now we have so many people and so many cars?" ”

At the beginning, Xie Hong was not very adaptable to the speed of travel in ancient times, and hundreds of miles of travel were like playing in later generations, even if he didn't take the high speed, it would be a matter of several hours.

But in this era, a single fast horse, there is a post station on the road to pick up is very fast, if a few people travel lightly, it is okay, hundreds of miles is a few days of work. If you change to a large team, you really can't finish walking without ten months, and the larger the team, the slower it will go.

According to the current speed, Xie Hong estimates that when he arrives at his destination, it should be around the first month, and it is useless to be anxious, it is better to enjoy the scenery of the northern country.

"Last time, the soldiers and horses in Jizhen were transferred, and this time Liu Jian had the pain of losing his son again, it is difficult to ensure that he does not take risks, we are now in this wilderness, you must know ......" Although he was convinced by Xie Hong, Ma Ang still felt that the future was a little bleak, and he brought his talkative nature to the extreme.

Xie Hong was also helpless, he didn't plan to take Maang with him, who took his eldest brother on his honeymoon? What's more, the roadside club also needs the help of talkers, but under Ma Ang's own strong request, he showed his other talent, and Xie Hong had no choice but to compromise.

He pondered, anyway, one eldest brother is also brought, and of course the two are not bad, but Zeng Zheng is much better than Ma Ang, and that chemical genius has been doing research in the carriage, and he has been staying at the top of the road along the way, and Xie Hong has not even seen him a few times.

"It doesn't matter, Yu Tongzhi only came yesterday with the news, Liu Jian has left Hejian Mansion and returned to his hometown in Henan, and he also informed the Liu family in the capital before leaving, presumably he has been disheartened and plans to protect himself."

Liu Jian's status is very high and he is more valued, so Chunli should have the most eyeliner bought by Liu Fu through various means, and the news is also well-informed. Liu Jian's family retreated to Henan, which should be a manifestation of his grief and death after suffering a major blow.

The fights between scholars and doctors are generally bad for wives and children, but this kind of thing is not so reliable, and Yang Rebellion is an example. Of course, the higher the position, the more obvious this rule will be, such as university scholars, even if they lose power, most of them can save the family business.

However, Xie Hong's actions showed that he did not intend to abide by the rules between scholars and doctors, and if Liu Jian wanted to take revenge, he had to consider his own safety. And the Liu family has always been thin, and he has just experienced the pain of losing his son, so Liu Jian really can't make up his mind to fight to the death, and it is also a very wise choice to go back to his hometown and hide in order to protect the family.

This is also in Xie Hong's prediction, deterrence should be all-round, and unscrupulous, this is exactly what the scholars taught him a few days ago, it is a lesson, but it is also an experience.

"Master Hou! There is a case ahead! While he was talking and laughing, suddenly there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves in front, and a fast horse came roaring, Xie Hong raised his eyes and saw that it was the scouts in the border army who were warning.

"How many people? How far is it going? "Xie Hong has never interfered in areas that he is not good at, and now that he encounters an enemy in the field, of course, he still has to rely on Jiang Bin, the elder, to command, so Scarface doesn't care about the subsections, and asks urgently.

"Many, very much! I can't see the flag clearly from a distance, and I'm afraid that there are not about 20,000 people just looking at the scale! It's ten miles away! ”

The elite of the monkey and the scout was sent by Xie Hong to carry out another mission, and now the scouts who reconnoiter in front and behind the team are slightly inferior to the monkeys, and the other party is also a border army, and the elite level is not inferior to Jiang Bin's side, and these scouts do not dare to get too close, so the information they get is a little vague.

"Twenty thousand! Sizzle...... "Even with the fearlessness of the scarred face, when he heard this number, he gasped, the tenfold gap is indeed too big, not to mention that the other party is not those wastes of the five military camps, if it is really a head-on confrontation, it is definitely a situation of death and no life."

"Brother Xie, let's turn around quickly, there are still ten miles, let's hurry up and retreat, maybe it's still too late." Jiang Bin was a little shaken, not to mention Ma Ang, who was already flustered, he reacted quickly, but unfortunately this proposal was not very reliable.

"It's too late, retreat now, you will only leave your back to the enemy, let them chase and kill at will." Xie Hong shook his head and turned his head to flee in front of the enemy, which seemed safe, but it was actually the stupidest way.

Most of them are non-military personnel on their side, if they run, eighty percent will collapse when they see the pursuers, they are not Liu Xuande, Jiang Bin is not Zhao Zilong, and there is only one way to die when they fall into that situation.

"If it's ......" Ma Ang still needs to be persuaded again, saying that he can leave the craftsmen behind and retreat first, but thinking about how much Xie Hong attaches importance to the craftsmen, he can't say this.

"Give the signal, let's stay for help." Xie Hong waved his hand resolutely, then turned to Jiang Bin and said, "Brother Jiang, you come to command the battle." ”

"Stop, the whole army stops, put a signal for help, Fanzi is outside, the Shenji battalion is in the center, and the rest of the people are inside, with the car as the wall, forming a circle to resist the enemy!" Scarface didn't shirk either, and turned around with a loud roar, and a series of orders were issued.

Both expected and unexpected, in a wilderness south of Santun Camp and west of Yongping Mansion, Xie Hong's first battle to Liao was imminent.

…… Ten miles away, in the army of Jizhen.

"General, we were discovered by the enemy's scouts, and the other party released the arrow, as if they wanted to hold on and wait for help."

"It's a bit of a discipline to deal with." Wu Yu sneered, feeling a little surprised.

It was expected that Xie Hong would release the scouts, but he also arrived with his soldiers and horses, and it was too late to shield the battlefield, not to mention that the scouts on the other side were also veterans, and when he saw that the momentum was not right, he retreated far away, and it was too late to chase and kill.

He was surprised that Xie Hong did not retreat in a hurry, in his mind, Xie Hong is just a craftsman born as a scholar, where is there any courage, in this wilderness was attacked, it is right to flee to the nearby county seat, but he didn't expect that the other party not only made the most reasonable response, but also had the courage to stubbornly hold on, I don't know if it is the ignorant who is fearless?

"Pass my command, march at full speed! The enemy is a rebel who has taken Lord Chincha hostage, and Lord Chincha has already been killed, so don't care what they say, just cover up and kill, and those who capture the leader of the bandits will be promoted to three ranks, and a bounty of 1,000 taels. Wu Yu yelled murderously.

He didn't plan to fight any ambush, not to mention the plains around, and he couldn't use such a means at all, the difference in strength was here, no matter what tricks the other party had, just kill it.

Stuck on the sidelines? This is already the hinterland of Jizhen, and the surrounding soldiers and horses have been transferred by their own orders, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled guarding the door, where are the reinforcements? It's almost as good as waiting to die!

Like the cold wind blowing from the north, the sneer on Wu Yu's face became even more awe-inspiring.

"Oh!"

Rewarding the three armies, which is usually a means of boosting morale, is generally very effective, and there is an additional bonus when there is a huge difference in strength and a sure victory.

With Wu Yu's order, the army rolled forward like a wave, with smoke and dust rising everywhere, and the murderous atmosphere was soaring.
