In this era, the best weapons for guerrilla warfare are longbows and firearms, fortunately, this time the capture of Leijiabao captured seven bird guns, as well as thirty longbows, plus the original several hunting bows, enough to arm forty long-range soldiers.

The operation of the bird gun is not cumbersome, that is, the medicine is poured into the barrel, then the fire door is pressed, the lead is loaded, and finally the medicine is poured into the medicine pool, and the fire rope is fixed to the medicine pool.

No one in the front camp will use this weapon, although Li Xingzhi does not know much about the ancient bird gun, but as a modern person, the principle of this bird gun is still understood, after some exploration, Li Xingzhi successfully shot the first gun, several small leaders who watched on the side were also curious, they have learned the same way, it didn't take long to learn how to operate, the rest is how to aim and shoot, this is not difficult, there is a crosshair on the bird gun, according to the hit.

The operation of the bird guns is simple, but unfortunately there are only seven, and it is impossible for Li Xingzhi to attack the Ming army of the brigade with seven firearms, so the archers are the decisive force in the current guerrilla warfare.

Don't think that archery is very simple, as long as you can shoot arrows, in fact, archery must be quick with eyes and hands, and the coordination of steps and arms must be very good, Li Xingzhi really doesn't understand this, but Li Rui, the leader of the rear camp, is more proficient.

He suggested that he select 30 soldiers with great strength and good eyesight from the front battalion for him to conduct assault training, Li Xingzhi naturally did not allow anything, so Yang Biao and Li Rui selected people in the front battalion.

While the front battalion was training, Li Xingzhi ordered Qian Anning to lead the men of the rear battalion to set up roadblocks and dig trenches at the intersection of the mountain entrance, just in case they could not stop the officers and soldiers from retreating.

After everything was arranged, Li Xingzhi took Chen Wu and others down the mountain to find a place where they could be ambushed, and sent sentry detectives to Gaoyang to inquire about the movements of the official army, so as not to be caught off guard by the official army.

In the end, Li Xingzhi chose the official road in Liangcun and Shishi as the location of the ambush, the reason is that it is close to the horse shed, the grass and trees are thick, and there are several woods, there is no problem in hiding dozens of people, and it is now June, so it is naturally not afraid of the official army attack.

After all, the soldiers of the former battalion were still tenants who were digging in the fields a day ago, and now his only hope is that the officers and soldiers are worse than he imagined.

In fact, the officers and troops who attacked this time were really rotten, and they were rotten, and the more than 280 military horses under Huang Wenchang could really fight only about 20 Huangfu families, and the others had not been trained at all, and they were just tenants of the Huang family.

What can you do in two days? Huang Wenchang only did three things, the first was to add food and change clothes for the 500 homeless people who had been gathered, if he didn't take care of his physical strength, how could he go to the big platform, the second was to carry out simple queue training and stab training, and the third was to give his more than 200 soldiers silver, one or two each, and Tong Su was not bullied.

Three days passed quickly, under the urging of Lei Zhibo, Huang Wenchang swore in Gaoyang, and only left more than 100 people under his army to garrison the county seat, and all the rest were dispatched, plus Lei Chuang's total strength of more than 700 people in Gaoyang North City set up a formation.

Gaoyang County ordered Lei Zhibo to go out of the city in person to see him off, looking at the fairly neat queue of officials and soldiers, Lei Zhibo bowed to Huang Wenchang and said: "The general has this heroic soldier, he will be able to eliminate Li Yi in one fell swoop and protect the people of Gaoyang. ”

After that, he ordered someone to take the Zhuangxing wine, personally brought it to Huang Wenchang and said: "The general will drink this wine, and the money and food needed for the military horses will be sent to Leijiabao in the future. ”

Huang Wenchang hurriedly half-knelt on the ground and saluted: "The last general, thank you for your love, this battle will definitely eliminate Li Yi in one fell swoop." ”

After that, he got up and drank the wine, then smashed the wine bowl to the ground, then turned over on the horse, and saluted the onlookers with his fists: "So a certain family has gone, and you fellow villagers are waiting for good news from a certain family in Gaoyang." ”

Where have the onlookers seen such a scene, one by one cheering, Wang Fugui, the owner of Yuelai Restaurant, shouted hoarse at this time, and said to an acquaintance beside him: "I have waited for forty years, when have I seen such a scene, I have so many elite soldiers and strong generals in Gaoyang, will I still be afraid of Li Xingzhi's thief?" ”

The acquaintance also said with a smile: "A thief is a thief, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's gang are so fierce, they haven't been suppressed by the official army, how many people can Li Xingzhi have, how can he be the opponent of my Gaoyang army?" ”

Huang Wenchang sat on the horse, and the green dragon glaive knife in his hand danced like a windmill, and then he waved it violently and shouted: "The whole army is out." ”

The martial courage of the garrison made the onlookers even more exclaimed, the big knife looks like it is made of iron, I am afraid that it does not weigh dozens of catties, and we may not be able to lift it, but the garrison lord is as light as a weight, as if he is taking a flat burden, thinking that although Li Xingzhi is brave, he will definitely not be the opponent of the garrison.

Hunting with banners, horses' hooves rolling, more than 700 officers and soldiers marched north along the Zhulong River, and came straight to the horse shed.

Wang Zhong and Yang Biao heard that there were actually seven or eight hundred people in the official army, and they thought that the enemy was outnumbered and the disparity was too great, so it was better to retreat to Lijiashan and resist the official army by virtue of their geographical advantages.

Li Jiashan is the name that Li Xingzhi changed after leading the crowd into the mountain, in his opinion, since it is his own territory, it should naturally be surnamed Li.

Li Xingzhi categorically rejected the proposals, believing that although there were many officers and soldiers, there were already few people, and only by attacking and harassing them along the way, they would inevitably be exhausted, and then they would make another calculation according to the situation.

After capturing Lei Zhi and breaking Lei Jiabao, it obviously enhanced Li Xingzhi's prestige, Yang Biao, Chen Wu and others did not hesitate, anyway, they fought first, and it was not too late to retreat if they couldn't fight.

Huang Wenchang led the army all the way forward and soon arrived at Leijiabao, but he ordered the whole army to bury the pot and cook first, rest for half an hour before setting off.

Lei Chuang was stunned, although he hadn't read the book of soldiers, he still understood the truth of the speed of soldiers, and now that the army has been traveling for less than half an hour, he has to rest and eat, what is this? So he stepped forward and asked.

Huang Wenchang said angrily: "How can you expect this general to act, the army will go on the expedition, and the thieves will send sentry agents to find out the news, and this will be a desire to capture the old people." ”

Lei Chuang didn't say much, although he was ordered to monitor Huang Wenchang's troops, he had no right to interfere with how Huang Wenchang used his troops, and even if he arrived at Dajiaotai today, he might not be able to launch an offensive.
