"How many firearms are there in the Guards Battalion today? How do I remember that there were no less than hundreds of firearms captured in the army, and they were all allocated to the guard battalion? Just waiting for the team to be assembled, Li Jing wondered, why did everyone only carry swords and spears, although there were hundreds of pieces of armor, but what about the bird guns and three-eyed guns? Didn't you transfer it, why didn't you see it?

When Zhang Erma heard this, his face suddenly turned embarrassed, but he had to come up and say, "My lord, the guys of the official army, only this firearm is useless, not to mention the fact that he injured his own brother in battle, and besides, there are not many bullets left, and if you take it into battle, I'm afraid it's not much better than burning sticks."

"Oh? How could such a thing happen? Li Jing has been worried about military affairs and other general directions, these little things, although he also sent people to find saltpeter and sulfur, but unfortunately it has been fruitless, after several disappointments, this matter is called delay, at this moment suddenly heard about this, and immediately displeased, "Why don't you report it early?!" ”

"Lord, when it comes to firearms, few of us used them in the past, and those guys made by the bird supervisor are useless one by one, and then they are reloaded once, and after a long time, after a delay, it is not as good as a bow and crossbow." Zhang Erma is also telling the truth, after all, since Li Jing, he has found that several military drills have emphasized the first round of intensive shooting, and there is no second round at all.

This is actually a way for Li Jing to avoid the defects of the arquebus in the Ming Dynasty, after all, according to the Ming Huidian exercise, it takes twenty-five steps to launch the arquebus, even if it is operated by well-trained soldiers, within three minutes, it is nothing more than two rounds of fire, and their own army, under their strict orders, each time first load gunpowder, open the valve, fill the bullet with a stick, and prepare it in advance.

If on the battlefield, the specific high-pressure environment affects the stability of people, and the bullets and barrels are easily worn out when they are loaded in a hurry, and once they are fired, there is a danger of exploding, which is the disadvantage of the arquebus.

"It seems that the time to develop new firearms must be brought forward." Li Jing thought to himself for a while, in his previous life in the army, he also tried to make his own weapons, but those parts are all stamped by modernization, there is no machine tool in this era, how can it be manufactured? Although he knows how to assemble, but he doesn't know how to design, it seems that he can only pray to catch a few craftsmen, draw gourds in the same way, and try slowly.

"Tell the lord that the four guards belong to the four battalions of 1,500 people have arrived in full, please make it public." After a while, the troops and horses of the personal guard battalion that had been ordered by the military were assembled, because Li Jing had already sent Tan Wu to the fourth battalion as a staff general, and now the personal guard battalion was temporarily led by himself, and at this moment only one old battalion captain was temporarily in charge.

"Liang Sijiu, you take the first capital of the headquarters to the south first, go straight to Yuanping along the river, and after converging with the people of Xu Fuchun's department, go south to Shagou, join up with Tan Wu's department, use Tan Wu to control the whole army, capture Xin County, cut off the back road of the official army in the north, if the whole division of the official army returns to help, it will definitely be desperately blocked, and wait for our army to arrive."

Li Jing said heavily to the captain who was born in the old camp and was a homeless person.

"Obey the Lord's orders!" Liang Sijiu turned over his horse at this moment, beckoned his team, and went out of the camp first and went south.

After watching this soldier and horse walk by, Li Jing turned around and said to Zhang Erma, "Send someone to send a message to General Zhao, so that his soldiers and horses will not retreat, rely on Dingxiang City, drag the main force of the official army, and then send someone to Wutai Zhang Biao, so that he can lead the main force of the Wutai garrison battalion to Xinkou Village to join me." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Erma's hands and feet are very fast, and after a while, he asked someone to find a document to copy, Li Jing used the seal of the Dadu Governor who was carefully polished and engraved by the master of carving, and sent someone to send the letter separately......

But it was said that all the battalions of Li Jing's headquarters took action, and the team called Li Mao to send 500 people to Chen Da to lead the team to Xingxian County in the south, and at this moment also entered the territory of Xingxian County, although there were young people along the way to peep, but saw that its soldiers and horses were mighty, and with banners, they did not dare to make times, and there were more heroes in the mountains and forests along the way, I heard that it was the righteous army from the north, and they had broken through several states and counties, and they were greatly admired, and some wanted to try their luck, and they led the whole village of thieves down the mountain to follow closely, and also wanted to fish in troubled waters.

After all, guarding the remote mountain road to loot, a year down can not grab a few silver, it is better to take advantage of the situation to follow a trip to the county, maybe you can get a few silver flowers, in this way, all the way down, unaware, still thought it was an army of more than 1,000 people, bluffing up and down Xingxian, even more sad face, panicked just to Taiyuan to report for help.

But fortunately, when Li Mao divided his troops, it was only a test for Chen Da, and the vital general artillery and tiger squat artillery were not allowed to him, but only gave twenty cavalry to take four or five hundred infantry troops, these horses and horses, it is still good to fight military households in the field, but if you want to talk about attacking the city, it is not enough.

Chen arrived at the county seat of Xingxian County, and could only look at the city and sigh, even if there were less than two or three hundred officers and soldiers guarding the city, he barely rushed once, killed and injured more than a dozen people, only said that the flesh hurt, and simply went to the surrounding villages and towns, robbed some large households in the same way, and replenished a lot of money and food, which was satisfied, but unfortunately the next plan was blind, after all, the military order given to him by Li Mao was to operate in Xingxian County, and there was no other instruction.

However, after all, Chen Da is a scholar, and his brain power is still more active than others, thinking that he used to study all over Taiyuan Mansion, and he is very familiar with various states and counties, and he has been following Li Mao for a long time, and he has long been clear about the details of the official army, thinking that Li Mao led the army to Lanlan, he must have attracted all the officials and troops in the whole state, and the garrison of Lan County must be empty now.

Thinking about it this way, he simply sent someone to go back directly to report the news without mentioning it, and asked to spread rumors in the county, saying that the brigade was going south to attack Linxian, but the headquarters took three or four hundred people recruited from various villages in Xingxian County, escorted the looted money and grain, crossed Xingshui all the way, plunged into the Mopan Mountains, took the small road and secretly went east, and went straight to Lanxian.

Those thieves who followed down the mountain to plunder, at this moment saw that his troops took advantage of the night to pull out the camp, so they simply scattered with money and food, Xingxian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, just while cleaning up the villages and towns called the scourge of thieves, while busy reporting victory, yes, reporting success, great success, Xingxian up and down, defeating hundreds of thieves, isn't it a big victory?

It's just that this letter can be called a trap for a lot of people, at least when the official messenger sent the letter passed through Lan County, the soldiers who were guarding the city were suddenly relieved, the thieves were defeated in Xing County, and the thieves gathered in Lanzhou must go to retaliate, so they stopped and watched, and did not mention the matter of withdrawing troops and Jingle.
