The sky is bright, and the Acropolis is shrouded in the morning light of early spring, showing a quiet and tranquil atmosphere, which is almost a paradise in Datong Mansion, where the plague is rampant. But this tranquility began to become extremely incongruous in the sudden rumbling sounds, and the rumbling sound became more and more rapid.

"It's a bugle gun, it's a bugle gun!"

Then a hurried shout spread over the city, and suddenly the whole castle moved, and the heavily armed soldiers, like streams flowing into the sea, gathered on the school grounds, waiting for orders. As for the soldiers in charge of defending the city, they were ready to wait for the enemy to attack the city.

Li Xin vaguely heard a noise outside in his sleep, which seemed to be accompanied by a faint sound of cannons, and in the blink of an eye, he was completely awake and sat up from the couch suddenly.

Enemy attack!

This is Li Xin's first reaction, because he was too tired last night, so he slept with his clothes upside down, which saved him time to get dressed, arched his shoes and pushed the door to the courtyard, just as the courtyard door was opened from the outside with a bang, and the person who came in was Zhenyuwei Zhenfu Qiantai.

"Where's the police?"

Li Xin couldn't wait to ask when he saw that he had come at the right time.

"Just followed by the news, a large number of Tartars have come to the north bank of the Yan River, nine times out of ten are Mongolians, and the checkpoint is firing a warning for help!"

It was the real time for the Tartars to come, just when Li Xinyu was about to fall into a dilemma, and even the absolute main force of the Zhenyu army, such as Cheng Mingjiu, the officer of the spear battalion, and Gu 14, the platoon officer, were sent out to carry out urgent tasks.

"It's better to bring Cheng Gu and the others back in a hurry......"

Li Xin categorically refused, Cheng Mingjiu and Gu 14 had already walked for most of the night, and at this time, they might have gone completely out of the realm and chased after it. Besides, the layout of the Beijing division is also the top priority, and it must not be canceled halfway, otherwise it will be killed by the neck and slaughtered by traitors.

"It's too late, Ben will personally bring the spear battalion into battle, you stay and sit in the town, you must guard this castle with all beards and tails!"

It is not surprising that Li Xin personally went out to fight, as early as the beginning of the formation of the spear battalion, Li Xin personally trained him, so he had no obstacles in command. But Chantai stammered:

"My lord, according to the epidemic prevention regulations, regulations, you should be quarantined, and there are still five days before you can leave this courtyard."

Li Xin was laughed at by Qian Tai, "When Ben will go out in five days, you will command the spear battalion to meet the battle?" If we reflect that it is half a little slower, when the Mongolian Tatar soldiers come to the city to see what you do, can't you tell the priorities? ”

Qian Tai, who was reprimanded by the chief soldier, did not look discouraged at all, but his eyebrows fluttered, since the chief soldier knew that it would be flexible, then he insisted on isolating the steward surnamed Huang from himself in the courtyard alone, it was not necessarily due to the strict implementation of the epidemic prevention regulations, there must be a hidden secret.

It seems that in the past few days, it has been spread wildly among the guards of the town, and the fact that the chief soldier is a good man may not be groundless, looking at the thin skin and tender flesh of the Huang family's steward, and looking carefully at the eyebrows, there is really a little bit of femininity......

If Li Xin knew what Qian Tai was thinking at this time, he would definitely laugh and laugh, although he was a noble three general soldiers, and he was unparalleled in the three guards of Zhenyu, Yanghe, and Gaoshan, he still couldn't stop people from talking about him behind his back, especially this kind of colored, it would become a talking point for the big guys after dinner.

Qian Tai had a heart for these not that he was no longer afraid of the Mongol Tartars, the fundamental reason was the courage of the generals, Li Xin Zaiyang and Wei killed the Mongolian Golden Family's descendants of the Han Department for more than 700 days, and even Lin Dan Khan's brother Jintu was beheaded. The Han Division's ability to fight bravely and skillfully on the grassland is well-known, and Li Xinsheng's seemingly easy access naturally improves the morale and courage of the captive army.

In the subconscious of the vast majority of people, as long as the chief soldier is in charge, he can be invincible! Qian Tai also has this kind of thought!

Li Xin walked like a fly, and as soon as he came out of the third courtyard, he suddenly stopped, and Qian Tai, who was following him, was so bad that he almost hit it.

"Qian Zhenfu, the isolation of the third courtyard will be lifted, and ten of Huang and Huang Gongzi's servants will be selected to walk, and the Wei Si Yamen must be entertained well, and must not be neglected."

This order confirmed the big guy's speculation about Li Xin in private, Qian Tai slandered and smiled secretly, but his face was solemn and promised.

However, the second military report sent from the front made Qian Tai completely lose the mood to flip through the lace news.

I only heard the horse's hooves chirping, "Report!" The Yanhe checkpoint fell, and Chaoyangbao was in chaos......"

Hearing the scout's report, Qian Tai was shocked and almost sat on the ground, and Li Xin also took a few steps forward.

"The fall of Chaoyang Fort?"

The most important thing at the Yanhe checkpoint is goods and materials, but the 20,000 young and strong men in Chaoyang Fort are his greatest wealth, and he has a heart hanging in his throat.

"When the villain came, there seemed to be resistance organized in Chaoyang Castle, and it is estimated that it will be able to ...... for a while."

What does it mean to be able to withstand a moment and a half, Chaoyang Fort is full of victims who survived the plague, they have never undergone combat training, don't look at the crowds, they are just a group of lambs to be slaughtered in front of the Mongolian Tartars.

"What about Heisenberg, what about Heisenberg?"

How could there be no artillery captain without him at this time! Qian Tai hurriedly stepped forward, "Those two red-haired ghosts went out of the city last night, last night, saying that they went back to the site of some iron factory. At this time, Qian Tai regretted repeatedly, he shouldn't be embarrassed by those two red-haired ghosts, otherwise he wouldn't be in this embarrassing situation of not being able to find anyone in the battle.

Of course, Qian Tai had also heard of Heisenberg's artillery team showing its might in the battle of Yang and Wei, and knew that this product was very favored by the general soldiers, but the red-haired ghost was Yidi after all, how could it be compared with the commander of Huaxia Zheng'er.

"Don't be stunned, go and do your job." After that, he pointed at Chantai, "Immediately hurry up and invite Heisenberg!" ”

Obviously, Qian Tai did not carry out the tasks assigned to him by Li Xin to the letter, for example, he made it difficult for Heisenberg yesterday, but now is not the time to talk about this, he just gently pointed him twice, and Qian Tai was immediately trembling.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, I heard a burst of broken Chinese.

"Heisenberg is here, don't be sorrowful, general!"

Li Xin was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't care about laughing at Heisenberg's inappropriate words, but he didn't stop for half a minute.

"Go, go, go! All go to school! ”

Li Xin had a habit of making all kinds of emergency plans no matter where he was, for example, in the acropolis of this town, there was a special plan for enemy attacks. Once there is a police officer, all non-duty soldiers must be assembled on the school grounds in the shortest possible time.

This includes the pikemen, but also Heisenberg's artillery corps!

At this time, after the battle of Yang and Wei, the spear battalion was expanded, from 500 to 1,000 people, divided into two battalions, left and right, and even Lu Jiu's cavalry and horse team also carried out a small expansion, increasing to the scale of 300 cavalry when Yu Gaoyang raised his army.

In other words, he now has more than 1,300 available soldiers, and the rest of the original guards in the city cooperate to defend the city, as long as they become the victorious town guards in the field battle outside the city, they can worry free.

However, the reality once again ruthlessly smashed the optimism of the captive army.

As soon as the Zhenyu army opened the north gate of the repaired city, they saw an overwhelming surge of troops in the distance, crushing all the way as black as dark clouds.

This time, even Li Xin couldn't help but be moved, the Mongols were inevitably moving too fast, could it be that Chaoyang Fort had already been captured? At the critical moment, he could not be allowed to think too much, and he must immediately organize a battle on the spot.

"All soldiers obey orders!"

Li Xin personally waved the command flag in his hand, and the guards around him immediately shouted: "Array!" ”

After the order was given, the spear battalion, which had been advancing in columns, began to be a little chaotic, after all, the training time was still short, and it was impossible to be like an arm, but the phalanx was gradually formed in the chaos.

Li Xin rode on his horse and frowned, and Artillery Captain Heisenberg was beside Li Xin, and he also looked disdainful, obviously disapproving of the formation of the captive army.

"General, the lower official construction yì, the Zhenyu army has arrived, and when the musket battalion is formed, as long as the iron factory is completed, we will have enough iron to make muskets."

Although Heisenberg's Chinese is still very unfavorable, he has long wanted to build a musket team that really belongs to him, but he has been tired of dealing with various things since he arrived in Datong Sanwei, so that he has not made time.

I only heard Heisenberg continue to say in his half-baked Chinese: "With muskets, combined with Gustav's phalanx, and of course, the cannons of the lower officials, it is enough for the general to sweep through East Asia!" ”

Although Heisenberg was a rigid German, he had a strong ability to comprehend, and even the humble language of the subordinate was learned very quickly.

Li confidently knew that Heisenberg must have come to see him yesterday to talk about it to him, but he didn't want to be delayed by Chantai's goods.

With that, Heisenberg returned to his artillery with his head held high, and now his artillery corps had three four-pounder guns and one six-pounder gun.

"Hurry up, all the cannons deploy...... The six-pounder gun listened to the order, loaded solid bullets on the spot, and bombarded the bitches on the opposite side...... The four-pounder gun advanced ten paces ......"

The spear battalion was spread out on the spot, and the four-pound ran forward ten paces, which was nearly twenty meters in the city meter, and it was far to the front of the spear battalion, and at the front, Heisenberg still fought as before.

Rumble!

A six-pounder projectile roared out of the muzzle with a spark and a sharp sound of breaking through the air, past the pikecamp, over the four-pounder guncorps, over the open space in front of the two armies, and smashed straight at the galloping Mongol Tatar cavalry.

At the same time, on the Wenhua Hall of the Jingshi Commander, hundreds of miles west of the battlefield, the voice of Liu Yuliang, a cabinet scholar, echoed in the hall of Nuoda.

“…… The privateer merchants and goods filled their pockets, causing Jinzhong to complain...... He also entangled the victims from all over the country, gathered together, and set up a private yamen...... This son disregards the grace of God......"—
