Seeing that Ziren agreed to the request of the two to return to their hometown to recruit soldiers, Wang and Tang replied with joy: "General rest assured, we promise to live up to the trust." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Two people took the lead, and the rest of the generals offered their opinions on the affairs of the camp after the expansion.

Wang Shouguan stood up and proposed: "Why don't I follow the example of the Mongolian Tartars and equip the rattan players with some throwing weapons such as throwing axes and javelins, so that when the Tartars rush to the front of the battle, they can throw and kill the enemy." ”

Without waiting for Ziren to speak, Zhou Daqi had a different opinion, and said: "Although Wang Jiang's words are reasonable, the last general feels that this move may cause distraction to the rattan players, and when there is a loophole in the shield array, it will be shot by the arrows of the Tartars, and the casualties of the soldiers will outweigh the losses." ”

Ziren did consider configuring the rattan player with throwing weapons, but as the two said, this move is reasonable and disadvantageous, and after some consideration, the special Wang Shouguan selected a flag foot soldier under his command to carry out the small-scale implementation, and decided the next step according to the good or bad effect.

In addition, according to the reactions of Wang Shouguan and Zhou Daqi, the soldiers in the battalion felt that the wheelbarrow could be used as a block when the battle was imminent, and it could be used to carry heavy tents and other sundries to reduce the burden when marching.

After the actual combat test, after the wheelbarrow is equipped with the Tiger brand, the killing power is much higher than that of the three-eyed combo. Ziren had already deployed the chariot on a large scale and agreed on the spot.

Lei Zhenwei, who was in charge of the firearms department, also proposed that the "cannons" equipped by Sun Shoujing's men were not small, and that the continuous sound of cannons could give the enemy a strong deterrent, and proposed that the battalion be equipped with some.

At the same time, each cannon weighed 100 catties, and the weight of the three guns and one cart plus the chariot itself was too heavy, and there was no crosshair and the hit rate was not high. It is suggested that Ziren can be replaced with a 100-pound Furlong machine, in addition to being lightweight, the loading and aiming speed of the breech Furlong machine can be greatly improved.

Ziren has already seen the power of the cannon, and this cannon must also be used to seal the gaps in the city wall and battle array, and it is easy to build, so this move is also adopted.

As for this Fran cannon, due to the high technical requirements for cannon casting, Ziren was going to buy some from Shenyang Wei first, and wait for Jin Guan to transfer the craftsmen who cast the cannon, and then explore the casting by himself, so as to completely replace the old breech gun in the fort at that time.

Seeing that his own general attached so much importance to the opinions of his subordinates, the new brave warriors couldn't help but feel a warmth in their hearts. It has only been less than a day since he entered the camp, and he felt that Ziren was very different from Cao Xixuan, who only knew how to talk about money, and secretly decided to work with peace of mind.

At this time, several flag commanders also stood up together, proposing that the three-eyed gunners and pikemen in the foot soldiers be mixed, and they were somewhat panicked whether they were arranging or killing the enemy during the battle. In addition, the Tartars are densely armed with arrows, hoping to increase the number of rattan players.

Hearing the voices of the soldiers, Ziren thought about it and decided to change the composition of the infantry slightly. The Three-Eyed Gunners and Pikemen were unified into each team, and in the future, there were two teams of pikemen and two teams of fire commanders under each banner. Due to the vicious archery of the Tartars, in order to reduce casualties, the two rattan players under the team changed their outfits to have a larger defensive area and were branded, and the captain of the Wu changed their costumes to be cards and waist knives.

In this way, with the addition of the flag and the guards, each flag has 50 people, and it is divided into four squads, each team of 12 people. When the battle was about to be formed, the commander of the army and the next card were in front with a shield, and the three spearmen (three-eyed guns) in the army followed closely behind with long soldiers. Take the position of two front and three back, form a small formation, the two teams are side by side, and the team leader and the soldiers are in the rear. As a result, both melee and defense capabilities are improved.

After the expansion of the army, the division set up four banners unchanged, with a total of 200 soldiers. In addition to the general one, each division also serves as a deputy, and there are two guards, two standard-bearers, and one soldier. It is equipped with a tiger squat cannon and three gunners, with a total of 210 people in each division.

There are four divisions under the department, with a total of 840 people. It is commanded by one person of the thousand generals, plus one general as a deputy, and two clerks, two guards, flag bearers, and drummers. In addition to a team of ten medical officers, and a team of one hundred and fifty miscellaneous servants, military craftsmen, and veterinarians, each department made a total of 1,000 people.

The foot soldiers are divided into three parts: A, B and C, each of which is equipped with two large quadripartite flags, which are red, yellow and blue as the flag colors. Each team is equipped with a small flag, a flag in each flag, and a large flag in each division, all of which are pennants of the same color as each department, which is convenient for soldiers to identify.

The establishment of the Firearms Department and the Cavalry Department is to be determined, and the banners are black and white. Ziren's Chinese army set up five flags, and when the war came, the five divisions looked at the color of the Chinese army's flag. There is also a sun and moon flag, indicating the location of the Chinese army.

After this battle, all the generals under Ziren's command were all happy, and they immediately returned to the camp to prepare after a heated discussion. This time, the officers and soldiers who followed Ziren to fight have greatly increased their combat effectiveness after the experience of the battlefield, and they can use this as the foundation of the team to become a strong soldier in the future.

In the evening of that year, a sentinel came from the surrounding forts to report that the Mongol army had retreated into the steppe from the northwest, with the side wall between Shifang Sibao and T-shaped Bobao.

When the soldiers and civilians in Puhe heard that the Tartars had retreated, there was a cheer in the city in an instant. This Zhanziren made great contributions, and in addition to the scourge of Cao Xixuan removed by Puhe, the soldiers and gentry in the fort brought wine syrup, chickens and ducks to the camp to thank them.

Ziren repelled Mengnu in this battle, and at the same time formed a good alliance with the soldiers and civilians of Shenyang Wei, and laughed and said: "Thank you for your kindness, come here, fire twenty cannons to celebrate." ”

The soldiers and civilians in the city will also take out the remaining firecrackers for the New Year, and the city will be full of joy for a while.

In the rumbling cannon, Ziren came to the tent where the wounded soldiers were placed, the wounded saw that the general came to visit, and they wanted to struggle to get up, Ziren immediately greeted him when he saw this, and persuaded him with good words: "If you are injured, lie down quickly and recuperate, everyone will risk death to kill the Tartars for the people of Liaodong, and I Ding Shouming will have a generous care after returning to the fort." ”

At this time, Ziren couldn't help but think that after this battle, there were more than 90 dead soldiers under his command, plus the wounded lost 200 people, which can be described as heavy casualties. After a long sigh, he went to find Sun Shoujing and gave him five hundred taels of silver, and asked him to help him go to Shenyang City to buy hundreds of good coffins, and at the same time hire a cart. These soldiers died in battle with themselves, and their bones must be brought back to the castle for burial.

That night, outside Jizhou Town, in a gold-roofed tent in the Mongolian army, the Great Khan was convening all the departments to discuss the matter.

Buyan, the eldest son of the barbarians, looked at the leaders of the various departments present, and said with dissatisfaction: "Ministers, Taiji, I have been waiting for a long time outside the Saiwai Army, and I don't know when everyone is going to send troops to plunder the Ming Realm. ”

On the grassland, the strong are respected, and the prestige of the barbarians has plummeted in a big defeat some time ago, and he is sick, and it is rumored on the grassland that his life will not be long in coming. The heroes of the various ministries have long been separated from the hearts of the people, and when they saw that it was Buyan who spoke, no one paid attention to them at all.

There was no sound in the tent except for the sound of the brute's coughing, and Buyan was furious when he saw this, when suddenly there was a noise outside the tent.

Buyan was angry and just about to reprimand when he heard a shout. "Oh no, the Ming army is attacking at night!"
