Wang Teng's iron factory was built by the mountains and rivers, the circumference was four miles and eight hundred steps, the fort wall was covered with bricks, and only the city gate was built on the south and north sides, but after the Jiannu attacked, Ma Wu only left the north gate and sealed the south gate.

There were 100 veterans, 500 new soldiers, 100 musketeers, 200 spear-throwers, and 200 pikemen, and in addition to this, there were 3,000 men, who had never been on the battlefield, but they had the strength to defend the fort, and if it was really a critical moment, they were the last force to defend the fort.

When nothing happened, Ma Wu was in charge of the defense inside and outside the factory, while Wang Desheng was in charge of the operation of the factory.

Looking at the Jiannu cavalry outside the fort, Wang Desheng was worried, "Yesterday Jiannu went to Zhangjiabao, I don't know what the battle situation is."

Zhangjiabao is only six miles away from here, and yesterday's battle, if Zhangjiabao is defended, it is fine, if it can't be held, Jiannu will only be more rampant.

However, it didn't take long for the answer to be revealed.

Several slaves dismounted, and they untied the heads from their saddles.

Wang Desheng's face changed greatly, "Lord Ma, this is Zhang Wu's head, Zhang Jiabao is only afraid of being more auspicious."

Ma Wu also blushed, no wonder Jiannu was so rampant, it turned out that they had already gone down the city first.

At this time, the Jiannu under the fort said in jerky Chinese: "Listen to the Ming people in the fort, Zhangjiabao does not know whether to live or die, stubbornly resists the Dajin soldiers, men, women and children have been executed, if you open the door and surrender, Lord Belle will be extrajudicial and spare your life, if you resist to the end, they are your example!" ”

Ma Wu took a sip and scolded, however, the faces of the new pawns around him were as pale as earth.

Jiannu has 7,000 soldiers and horses, can a small township fort be able to stop it?

You must know that Zhangjiabao is a big fort in Lingqiu, and their strength is second only to Ma Wu, and now, the Zhang family is defeated, how long can Ma Wu resist?

Now, the communication between the various military forts has been completely cut off, and everyone can only fight on their own.

Although Ma Wu had several cavalry soldiers in his hands, he did not dare to send them to death in this situation.

Wang Desheng observed his words and said in a low voice: "Lord Ma, you must boost the morale of the army, otherwise, before Jiannu arrives, the new pawn will be frightened!" ”

Ma Wu looked around, "Who can shoot Jiannu for me?" Shoot one person and reward ten taels of silver! ”

The old men of Guangling looked at each other and smiled, they were well-informed, and they were not too afraid, "Master Ma has to talk about it!" ”

Ma Wu was dismissive, "When did Lao Tzu break his promise and get fat?" ”

Although Ma Wu is young, he has a lot of prestige in the army, and as soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted a burst of laughter, "My lord, watch us shoot this thief!" ”

With that, the soldier lit the fire in his hand.

"Bang bang bang", the fire bell sounded, and the slave rider who was showing off his might outside the city fell three people.

Yesterday to break through Zhangjiabao, the blue flag soldiers and horses were very plundered, I thought that the neighboring forts were the same color, who would have thought, here encountered a hard stubble.

In a careless manner, the four cavalrymen entered the range of the cottage fort, and with a volley, three were killed, and the remaining three fled.

Ma Wu laughed at the right time: "Jiannu is nothing more than that, haha, slip fast!" ”

The morale of the city head was greatly boosted, whether it was a new pawn or an old pawn, they all had confidence at this moment.

Only Wang Desheng understood that next time, Jiannu would definitely come with a large group of men, and at that time, it would not be easy to defeat them.

I really don't know if the Guangling Army will come as scheduled!

In the Guangling Army, Wang Teng was doing pre-war mobilization, "Do you know why we came?" ”

A soldier replied boldly, "For Lingqiu? ”

Wang Teng bowed slightly, "Yes, it's for the people of Lingqiu, but it's not all."

The soldiers didn't understand what Wang Teng meant, they looked at each other, and they didn't dare to ask questions casually.

Wang Teng grabbed the iron horn in his hand and said loudly: "Jiannu knocked on the pass, killed our Ming people, robbed our money, food and property, today we came to save Lingqiu, just to let the Tartars know that our Ming world is not a place where they can come and leave if they want to!" ”

Guangling's soldiers responded one after another, "What your lord said is very true, I will understand!" ”

Wang Teng said again: "Some people may wonder why we want to leave the fortified city and Lizhai and fight against the Tartars in the field instead? This official tells you that if we don't even have the courage to face the Tartars head-on, no matter how many victories we fight to defend the city, we can't dispel the fear in our hearts, why do the Tartars repeatedly break through the barriers? Is it because our cities are not tall enough? No, our city is strong enough, tall enough, but the Tartars can come up with a way to break through each one, this time, Lingqiu must be saved, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of Ulzhou, for ourselves, we must fight to the death with Jiannu, death is death, the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty will bless us."

The soldiers only felt their blood boiling.

At this time, Wang Teng said: "I have made up my mind, you will go to Huangquan with me and fight to the death with the slaves!" ”

Huang Hu was the first to roar, "Go to Huangquan and fight to the death with the slaves!" ”

Then hundreds of voices converged into a single wave, "Go to the Yellow Springs together, fight to the death with slaves, kill, kill, kill!" ”

The military heart was available, and Wang Teng immediately led the army to the battle.

When leaving the military village, the Guangling army was light and simple, and did not carry heavy soldiers, not because Wang Teng dragged it down, but because he had been prepared.

Each of the Guangling soldiers had two shoulder bags, one containing fried rice and the other containing dry food.

A few pounds of weight can allow a soldier to survive for seven days without baggage!

In other words, the Guangling Army was originally fighting on its own, and compared with Jiannu, their food and grass supply was more advantageous, and the reason why they brought dry food was just to be prepared.

In terms of equipment, in order to minimize casualties, Wang Teng prepared 200 iron shields and 800 pairs of iron armor.

In the previous series of battles, Wang Teng captured a lot of armor, but except for the broken ones, there were only 200 that could be used.

Chain mail, willow leaf armor, cotton armor, and iron armor add up to a total of 1,000 pairs, although it failed to allow all members of the Guangling Army to change their clothes, but it also maximized the protection of the soldiers.

Of the 2,000 men and horses, 600 were musketeers, 600 spearmen, and 1,000 pikemen.

The reason why pikemen accounted for the majority was because Wang Teng understood that the best way to deal with the Jurchen cavalry was to use pikemen to set up a gun formation, and then use short spears and fire guns to bombard in turn.

Compared to Jiannu's longbow, Guanglingjun's firecracker is the only advantage, and practice has proven that the firecracker with shortened reload speed can completely suppress Jiannu's archers.

On the battlefield, we pay attention to attacking the weaknesses of the other with our own strengths, and only by giving full play to our own strengths and then trying our best to contain the opponent's shortcomings can we win. (To be continued.) )
