This group of bandits is very tenacious, and even in the midst of the rout, some bandits still turn back and try to fight. This group of bandits was far from Kong Youde's rebels, who fought all over Shandong and were finally defeated by the Liaodong cavalry.

But those who turned around and tried to fight were all stabbed to the ground with a shot.

The more bandits, the more run!

Even if they were swept in Shandong, they couldn't change their essence. When you encounter defeat, you can run to survive.

More than a thousand bandits ran all over the place, and soon they had dispersed into more than a dozen tributaries, Zhao Yong divided a company to pursue the fleeing bandits, and he himself took a company of soldiers to kill the cottage.

The cottage of more than 2,000 bandits is bound to be relatively rich.

Lin Yi divided the cavalry in his hand into groups of five and began to chase the fleeing bandits everywhere.

Amid the shouts of kneeling and not killing, some bandits saw that they could not escape, so they immediately knelt on the ground and begged to surrender. The auxiliaries of the Axle Heavy Company quickly followed, keeping the captives under control, while the cavalry continued to capture men.

The battle lasted for two hours before it ended, and the rows of captives looked down with their hands tied and looked at the unknown enemy in front of them with trepidation.

Zhao Yong seized 4,000 taels of silver, 500 taels of gold, and more than 1,000 stones of grain in the cottage. and pearls, silk, and livestock. And also found a jack of the Furlong cannon.

After the count, a total of more than 500 beheadings, 1,000 bandits were captured, the bandit leader was killed in the battle, and hundreds more were on the run.

Eleven of them were killed, twenty-three wounded, and seven seriously wounded.

In the evening, when summing up the experience, Li Shenxing wrote: "On the sixth day of the second month, a group of Kong Youde's rebels who gathered on the top of the mountain were defeated, and after the field battle between the two sides, due to the lack of melee forces, they could not block the advancing enemy soldiers in time, and the lack of armor caused eleven people to die......

A relatively perfect victory also verified the effectiveness of these hard training queues.

Having exterminated the largest group of bandits, Zhao Yong also figured out the combat effectiveness of these bandits, and in order to speed up the suppression of bandits, he decided to divide the way to suppress the bandits, so he divided the team into two parts.

……

When Zhao Yong was out to suppress bandits, Zhao Yan had already put the matter of building a fort on the desk.

At present, the kiln has been built very large, and a steady stream of green bricks is produced every day, and these green bricks are strictly manufactured.

In order to better save your life in this treacherous era, you must build a fort, at least you can be invincible in the way of fortress warfare.

Due to Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of 'building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming kings', there was also a continuation later, and the Ming court built a lot of walls, and the walls of almost every county were good, and the long Ming Great Wall was also built.

In this way, the strategy of blocking the nomads can be said to be more correct. The nomads lacked siege equipment and could not occupy the city, so naturally it was impossible to make too big a wave.

However, the environment at the end of the Ming Dynasty changed, the first was military abandonment and people's hearts fluctuated, which led to the low defensive efficiency of the defenders. In addition, the Manchus captured a large number of people as their serfs, and had entered a semi-agricultural society, and with many craftsmen of the Ming court on hand, the ability to siege the city increased greatly.

Coupled with the cannon fodder tactics of the Manchus, many cities were captured by the Manchus.

The so-called cannon fodder tactic is to drive Mongolian and Han soldiers to take the lead, and they can hide behind to rob and drive away cannon fodder.

The premise of this cannon fodder tactic is the fall of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the Manchus will not get so much cannon fodder.

If a strong defense system can be established, so that the Manchus have to break a tooth every place they fight, then they will undoubtedly be invincible.

Therefore, it is obviously necessary to build your own fort.

The fortress that Zhao Yan wanted to build would naturally not be a boxy city wall, but a fortress that could resist artillery attacks to a certain extent and have no dead ends in defense.

Zhao Yan has no experience in casting a fortress, but he has studied the French Vauban Type 1 defense system, and he still knows the essentials of the Vauban Type 1 Fortress.

The fortress is currently the most powerful fortification in the world, the firearms troops can resist ten times the enemy soldiers with the help of the fortress, and the traditional cold weapons troops can also resist more than five times the enemy, when the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia were fighting, in the northeast of a fortress, only a few hundred Tsarist Russian troops prevented the attack of tens of thousands of Qing troops. In the end, it was surrounded for several months, and the people ran out of ammunition and food before surrendering.

The cement factory fired a large amount of cement, and the kiln also burned a lot of bricks, and Zhao Yanhua designed three fortresses according to the terrain, all of which belong to the Vauban 1 type of fortress.

The walls of Zhaojiabao are six meters high, five meters thick, and have five convex faces, which are in the shape of irregular eight-pointed stars. The distances of these convex surfaces were designed at the distance of the musket's 150-meter range.

The bastion did not need to be built too high, mainly to prevent it from being bombarded by enemy artillery, and at the same time, the convex design made it easy for the shells to slip.

This is not the main thing, the main thing is that the artillery and muskets will form a fire network, and the enemy will be attacked on any side by more than two sides, so that the enemy cannot get close to the city wall, and there is no problem that the city wall is too short and easy to climb.

This design is also seen on the Great Wall, but not as thoroughly as the bastion.

The city wall adopts an earth-covered structure, with loess and debris compacted in the middle, and the inner and outer sides are built with green bricks, and then poured with cement.

At present, most of the city walls built by the Ming Dynasty are this kind of earth-covered structure, with bricks inside, and then poured glutinous rice juice and lime to stir the coagulation material.

Zhao Yan swapped that thing for cheaper cement.

Glutinous rice juice plus lime, this is a kind of thing that is stronger than cement, there were tomb robbers in later generations who blew up the tomb with gunpowder, and the result was fried several times, the amount of medicine was larger than one time, but it was in vain, the ancient tomb was mixed with glutinous rice juice, Sanhe soil lane.

Although glutinous rice juice and lime are mixed to be stronger than cement, the cost of repairing the city wall with glutinous rice juice is somewhat high. Zhao Yan felt that it was not very cost-effective, and it was difficult to be stingy, although the cement was a little worse, but it was okay!

If the enemy bombards the wall with artillery, it is entirely possible to build another one in the back.

The main thing is to look at the strength of the green bricks.

The strength of green bricks and red bricks is about the same, but the green bricks rely on artificial cooling, so they are not completely oxidized, and they are stronger than red bricks in terms of oxidation, hydration and atmospheric erosion, so they have become the material of choice for building city walls.

Like the city wall of the capital, the green bricks used have the name of the kiln, if there is a quality problem, it is convenient to be responsible. And this quality problem is naturally in terms of anti-oxidation, atmospheric erosion, and hydration.

As for using reinforced concrete for all walls, wait! This thing is not so simple, he did not study civil engineering, and now he can only use existing technology to build walls.

The number of displaced people gathered in Zhaojiabao has reached a terrifying number of 15,000, and Zhao Yan took out the plan to build the fort and immediately started construction under his command.

The most important thing in this fort construction is to determine the various systems of the defense system. It is only as a last resort that you will consider fighting a fortress battle with the enemy.

I'll see if I can code the second chapter before 12 o'clock, maybe it's one or two o'clock in the morning!!
