Wei Chenghan system, salt and iron by the government monopoly.

There are some smuggled salt dealers in Caohan, but there are basically no smuggled iron sellers.

Only a person with a strong background like Feng Fatzi dares to touch this business.

Wang Mang once said in the edict: Iron is the foundation of the field farmer.

In this era, iron not only represents advanced productive forces, but also a symbol of war strength.

If the level of iron smelting in Sujiang is stronger, Yang Zheng will not be able to eat and walk around.

The night was as cold as a knife, Yang Zheng ordered the demolition of part of the camp tent in the valley, and a fire was ignited at the mouth of the valley.

There are many stones and little wood in the valley, and wood is also a scarce resource, and he has to make a fire for cooking, but Yang Zheng is reluctant to use it.

You can only throw the corpses of the enemies in front of you into the fire.

The Qiang people have always admired cremation, and this behavior is not disrespectful to the dead.

It's just that the smell is a little unpleasant.

There was a churn in my stomach.

A slight smell is nothing compared to the cold.

The soldiers and pro-soldiers were divided into three groups and took turns to sleep.

It is probably because Jiang Faye beheaded all the troublemakers among the Qiang people, and the Qiang people were particularly peaceful.

In this kind of weather, don't think about any night raids.

It would be nice if the soldiers could survive.

After the inspection, Yang Zheng took a nap and woke up when it was already dark.

The surrounding soldiers were still asleep, Zhao Aqi felt the movement, suddenly woke up, and reflexively pressed the handle of the knife.

Yang Zheng softly signaled him not to alarm others.

The two walked to the mouth of the valley and encouraged the hard-working soldiers one by one.

The enemies on the opposite side huddled together in the cold night, stayed up all night, seemed to be asleep, and in the early morning, they had no energy.

"The enemy is tired, and our army is ready to be killed!" Zhao Aqi's eyes flashed with cold light.

After this battle, Yang Zheng no longer doubted the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

However, after all, the strength of the side is weak, and the Russians have arranged a lot of ravines, resisted horses, and forcibly attacked, and the casualties are bound to be heavy.

Yang Zheng's psychological expectations are not simply to defeat them.

Now he is coveting the iron tools of Sujiang.

If Ye Sujiang had been shrinking in Jishi Mountain, no one would be able to do anything about him.

Historically, in order to capture the Stone Castle, Geshuhan gathered 60,000 elites from Longyou and lost tens of thousands of them before he could take the Stone Castle City.

Now that Ye Sujiang has taken the initiative to come out, the opportunity is rare, and Yang Zheng doesn't want to let him go back.

"Don't be in a hurry, the enemy has entered the danger and does not know it, it seems to surround us, but in fact it is also in a dilemma, and if it takes one more day, his combat strength will decline by one day." Yang Zheng said with confidence.

The Cliff Cave in Broken Wind Valley is also a place where the Cutting Field Department stores grain, and all the grain that was given to them before is stored here.

Together with their own grain storage, it was enough for more than 1,000 people in the valley to eat for several months.

There is food in the hand, and there is no panic in the heart.

The longer the time elapses, the greater the advantage.

As long as Zhang Te appears, it is the death period of the enemy.

The soldiers and the soldiers woke up in good spirits.

"General!" The soldiers saluted Yang Zheng with adoring eyes one by one.

Yang Zheng smiled, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

"I also dreamed of marrying a daughter-in-law!" The soldiers have always regarded Yang Zheng as a brother, and they don't care much about speaking in private.

"Let me see if your crotch is wet." Another soldier reached out to touch it.

The two of them were fighting, causing a burst of laughter around them.

Yang Zheng also laughed.

In the afternoon, Russia and Yesujiang came to attack again.

Morale is often exhausted and then exhausted.

The Qiang people are explosive, but they are not tolerant of hard fighting.

Yesterday the soldiers were strong and strong, and the soldiers were slightly afraid, they could not break through the valley mouth, let alone now.

No matter how angry and corrupt he and Ye Sujiang are in the back, Taniguchi is still as stable as Mount Tai.

The soldiers became more and more skilled and calm, and in the two-day battle, only a dozen people were killed in total, and more than 40 people were seriously wounded.

Compared to the hundreds of corpses left by the enemy, this loss was acceptable.

The Qiang people coped with the attack twice, and retreated with low morale.

Oh He Yao Ge scolded, "Yang Zheng, I'll see how long you can shrink inside!" ”

Yang Zheng laughed, and suddenly felt that this guy was a little cute.

Don't worry about the front line, Yang Zheng returned to the valley.

The remaining 300-odd young men of the Logging Department cannot be wasted.

Jiang Fanye's injuries were cared for and gradually improved.

Now he is obedient to Yang Zheng.

The two are not only brothers in life and death, but also de facto sons-in-law, although the generations are a little chaotic, but the connection between them is getting closer and closer.

Yang Zheng was also not polite, and let the old soldiers start to train them.

Some of these Qiang people had participated in the battle of Fengzhong that day, and they were considered veterans, and they could go into battle to kill the enemy with a knife.

However, in view of the strong explosiveness of the Qiang people and the characteristics of not fighting hard for a long time, Yang Zheng did not pull them to the front line, but let them prepare in the rear.

In the next two days, the morale of the other side became higher and higher, and the other party became more and more depressed, and there was no symbolic attack, but only piled up stones to build a camp, as if he wanted to consume Yang Zheng to death with these things.

Seeing that their front and rear camps were piling up rocks, their hearts moved, could it be that their rear was threatened?

It must be Zhang Te's coming.

Yang Zheng's spirits were greatly boosted, and the situation in Mingyue Gorge had completely reversed.

"General, look!" Gongsun Fu pointed to the northern peak.

A banner suddenly appeared on the high cliff, with only one "Wei" character on it, and reinforcements finally came.

Zhang Te really lived up to his trust.

The big war is about to begin.

Yang Zheng stood in front of the army with his sword, and his majestic gaze swept over everyone, "The battle of our rise is right in front of us!" ”

The soldiers' expressions were perked.

However, when to attack, Yang Zheng was not sure, so he could only wait quietly.

At night, the fire in the enemy camp was bright, and it seemed that he had a premonition that something bad would happen, and he no longer spared wood.

Yang Zheng still adopted the strategy of three teams taking turns, one team guarded, and the two teams rested.

The soldiers have long adapted to the war, learned from the old soldiers, and slept calmly.

Until dawn, Zhang Te did not attack.

But Yang Zheng could feel that the big battle was approaching, which was an intuition of a veteran general.

Dawn, where darkness and morning light converge, are also the most exhausting moments for man.

Suddenly, Yang Zheng, who was pretending to sleep in Taniguchi, opened his eyes, "The whole army is ready to attack!" ”

"Get up! Get up! Hearing this, the old pawns rose up and woke up the robes around them.

After a while, Jiang Faye stood at the forefront with more than 300 Qiang people who had been recuperating for many days, "This battle should be led by subordinates!" ”

Yang Zheng knew that Jiang Faye wanted to make up for the previous estrangement.

On the other hand, anyone who wants to integrate into a new group always has to come up with some real materials.

"Your ...... Wounds"

"A few injuries, what can I do?" At this time, Jiang Faye seemed to be more than ten years younger.

After all, he is a father-in-law, Yang Zheng has been like glue with Chunniang and Ah Lian in the past few months, and his relationship has been improving every day.

Anything can happen on the battlefield.

Seeing that he was very resolute, Yang Zheng took off his black light armor and draped it on him.

This move greatly moved Jiang Fanye, who had always been calm, and his eyes were a little softer, "General......

"You and I are now a family."

Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while.

Now it's time for these Qiang people to make up for it.

The darkness receded silently.

The morning light is like a sharp sword tearing apart the night above Mingyue Gorge.

"Kill!"

The eastern side of the canyon erupted in fierce shouts of killing.

It was as if the ground had cracked in a landslide, and the shouts caused the snow to fall from the cliffs.

The black tide is surging from the east.

Coming in the dawn light!

Yang Zheng swung his sword to the east, and a thousand words converged into one word: "Kill!" ”

Jiang Faye's Qiang people rushed to the front, there was no array, but everyone was like a mad tiger.

After that, there were six hundred soldiers, advancing in array, shields like heavy mountains, swords like white waves, shining in the morning light......
