"Where are the families of the rebels?"

"There is a large temple in the north of Fenzhou, called Baocheng Temple, which covers an area of about several hundred acres, and it is currently locked there."

"Which Jin merchants are involved in this?"

"Naturally, it is the three families of Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, and Wang Dayu, we have copied their hometowns, how can we not hate them, and even the families of other rebels are also hated."

"As far as I know, the young women and children in the captives were sold to Xi'an, Taiyuan, and Beijing, and the young and strong men and women were transported to Zhangjiakou, and it is said that they were sold to the Mongols as slaves.

"Liaodong?"

"Most likely, although the Jiannu are also skilled in bows and horses, they also farm, and their habits are quite different from those of the Tatar slaves, the bitter cold land of Liaodong is thin, and a large number of Central Plains farmers are needed to cultivate for them!"

Dragon Thirteen was clearly lost in thought.

"Zijin Liang and don't stick to the mud can ignore these family members, but since my Xiaoqiang camp knows about it, I have to sit idly by?"

Then he asked: "As far as you know, how many people are left in Zhang Yingchang's department in Jiexiu County and Wang Pu in Fenzhou City?" ”

Li Zhanchun thought for a while, "Zhang Yingchang is the chief soldier of Shanxi, except for those who stayed in Ningwu Pass, the people and horses that can be brought out are about 2,000, and the horses and infantry in Shanxi Town are roughly configured according to one to three, so its cavalry is about 500 and the infantry is 1,000 and 5."

"Wang Pu is a general of Datong, and the station of the general of Datong is Yulinwei, which is a border pass, next to Tumut, and it is impossible to bring all the troops to Jinzhong, and the maximum number of troops who come here is a thousand, and the proportion of cavalry in Datong is the highest in the nine sides, and he brought all the cavalry this time."

"About 1,000 or so, Zhang Yingchang and Wang Pu transferred half of them to pursue Li Zicheng's troops, Zhang Yingchang's cavalry could not be rationed to Wang Pu, and Fenzhou was the current Shanxi governor Xu Dingchen's station, and it was impossible not to have a certain battalion garrison."

"If Wang Pu took 1,500 cavalry to chase down Li Zicheng and others, then what remained in Fenzhou would be 500 cavalry and some regimental training."

"And Zhang Yingchang's subordinates in Jiexiu County should also have a thousand steps to ride, half of each horse."

"In addition, there is also a group training team in Xiaoyi County, and the number of people is also about 500."

Long Thirteen felt a pang in his heart, "If I want to go out to save the families of the righteous army, I must pass the three passes of Jiexiu Zhang Yingchang's department, Xiaoyi County's regimental training, and Fenzhou Wang Pu's cavalry."

"As soon as Zhang Yingchang sees me coming out, he will definitely inform Xu Dingchen in Fenzhou as soon as possible, and at that time, he will send the 500 cavalry left by Wang Pu in Fenzhou City to attack our troops with Zhang Yingchang in the north and south, and he will ......."

"But that's just these horses, Jiexiu County is next to Lingshi County, Zhang Yingchang can't stay behind some elite soldiers and horses, and He Renlong of Hot Spring Fort and Po Ximu of Fenxi County will also take one of my Yin Diguan and Xiamen Town after learning about it."

"However, if you are surrounded by the Ming army, you will be in trouble if you can't return to Lingshikou Pass."

After a while, he made up his mind, "I've been practicing for a month, and it's time for a mule or a horse to pull out for a walk!" ”

"How many young people are there in the city?"

"About two thousand"

"In this way, three hundred young men will be stationed in Yindi Pass and Xiamen Town, plus the previous two hundred pikemen, the total number will reach five hundred, which is enough to deal with the possible attacks of Po Ximu and He Renlong."

"Strengthen the four hundred young people to the Lingshikou Pass"

"Big boss, what if Niu Chenghu from Huozhou and Po Ximu from Fenxi County attack Yindi Pass together?"

"Impossible, even if they can get the news, it will be after our department went north out of Lingshikou Pass and came to the Jinzhong Plain, and then they need to make a detour to spread the news to Fenxi County and Huozhou, and they also have to decide to go out of the city, and it will not be possible without three or five days."

"It's only a hundred miles from Fenzhou to Jiexiu County, if we can complete the task within three or five days, we don't need to worry about Po Xi Mu and Niu Chenghu."

Just do it.

The next day, he left Li Zhanchun and Yuan Zongdi to guard the county seat with 100 cavalry, 200 infantry troops, and 1,000 young men, and he himself drove north along the Bird Mouse Valley Road with 400 cavalry, 700 pikemen, and 300 firearms battalions.

The long-lost emulator box finally opened up again.

"Dragon Thirteen, the tenth mission, rescue the prisoners of the Fenzhou Rebels"

Lingshi County is about fifty miles away from Jiexiu County, and Long 13 arrived in one day with his brigade.

Within a range of fifty miles, there are cliffs on both sides, and it is impossible for Xiaoqiang's battalion to cover every place tightly, and Zhang Yingchang, as the chief soldier of Shanxi, will naturally arrange secret agents in Lingshi County.

When Long Thirteen's troops were halfway through the march, they were discovered by Zhang Yingchang's spies.

So, when Long 13 and the others arrived at Lingshikou Pass and were about to rest nearby for a night, Zhang Yingchang, who was in Jiexiu County, thought about it.

Zhang Yingchang, about forty years old, Yansui Town military general family, and You family, Jiang family, Wang family and called the four major families, at this time in Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, Datong Town, Shanxi Town, most of the general soldiers, deputy generals, staff generals and lower level officers at least half of the four families.

The Zhang family was even more prominent, Zhang Yingchang, Zhang Quanchang, and Zhang Dechang were all generals who guarded one side.

"The thief only occupied Jiexiu County not long ago, and now he is going north, obviously not for this county, is he going to take advantage of the fact that Xiaoyi County is only stationed in regimental training, and the defense is empty, and he wants to take this county?"

"Don't you take me, the chief soldier of Shanxi, in your eyes?"

In his eyes, he would definitely not have thought that the remnants of a rogue would have the strength to occupy two county seats, and it would be good to be able to hold the Lingshi county seat.

"Well, there are three or four hundred horsemen, more than a thousand foot troops, it seems that the main force of the thieves is exhausted, at this time, I don't want to go forward to fight with it, or go around to Jingsheng Fort to attack Lingshi County?"

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't make a decision, so he prepared to convene the generals overnight to discuss together.

In the north of Lingshikou Pass, there is a stone bridge across the Fen River about ten miles, it is one of the rare large bridges on the Fen River, because the post road of the Bird Mouse Valley is located on the east bank of the Fen River, if you want to go to Xiaoyi County and Fenzhou, you must cross this stone bridge.

Such an important place, the imperial court originally had a special jurisdiction of the inspection department, and there were small forts at both ends of the stone bridge, the last time when the rebel army went south on a large scale, the people of the inspection department fled, but Zhang Yingchang settled in and arranged a general garrison.

This bridge is called Shitong Bridge, and it is the only stone bridge on the Fen River at this time.

Early the next morning, all the Dragon Thirteen set out from Lingshikou Pass, and then launched an attack on Shitongqiao!

This time, of course, with the current ability of the Xiaoqiang battalion and the blessing of the firearms battalion, he could take the division and the bridge with one pounce, but he only attacked slowly and methodically.

Zhang Yingchang quickly got the news.

"The thieves are really going to Xiaoyi County, and with the defense of the division and the bridge, they will definitely not be able to resist their attacks, but they can also resist for a while, so if they despise me so much, let's go out of the city to fight!"

So, he asked the young people in the city to defend the city, and he rode out of Jiexiu County with a thousand steps, and at the same time, he sent fast horses to Fenzhou City, naturally to remind Xu Dingchen to pay attention to the defense of Xiaoyi County.

After learning that Zhang Yingchang was out of the city, Long 13 immediately launched a fierce attack on the Shitong Bridge, the Shitong Bridge Inspection Department was just a small enclosure with a rammed earth wall, and after he used the tiger squat cannon to load a three-pound projectile to bombard a few rounds, the gate was blown down!

Then the bullets were reloaded and fired at the gate, and then the pikemen rushed in and stabbed before driving the Ming army to the stone bridge!

There were a few more rounds of scattered bombardment, and after that, Long Thirteen quickly occupied the Shitong Bridge!

Then he had 200 pikemen guard the bridge, and he himself set up a large formation on the east side of the bridge with 400 cavalry, 500 pikemen, and 300 firearms battalions.

He placed a battalion of 300 firearms in the center, more than 200 pikemen on each side, and then 400 cavalry in the rear.

At this time, for the Ming army, the most elite centaurs in the middle of the large array will generally be the most elite centaurs, and the two sides are guarding this centaurs.

Seeing that Long Thirteen put the fire gun soldier in the center, the well-informed Zhang Yingchang was immediately happy.

"This thief is really extraordinary, ordinary thieves are mainly cavalry, and most of the infantry are ravines and baits in their mouths, but I didn't expect this person to really train the infantry army, and the fire gun he laid in the middle was obviously trained by capturing the fire gun of Lingshi County and preparing to hand over the Shenji Battalion."

"I'd like to see what the thieves are doing with this? Are you going to let the firecrackers take the initiative to attack? ”

As for Zhang Yingchang, his 500 infantry troops are the elite of Shanxi Town.

With the most elite 100 sword shield soldiers in the center, a hundred archers in the back, pikemen on both sides, and 500 cavalry in the end.

"I just need to urge the large array to move forward slowly, because there are sword and shield soldiers in the middle, I can block the shot of lead bullets on the opposite side when I move forward, the loading of the fire gun is cumbersome and slow, and when I reach the range of thirty steps, I can run again, although the big array of thieves is strict, but it is too tight, and it is not easy to operate, so I can only squeeze together."

"At this time, it is not easy for them to escape, even if they want to escape......"

Just thinking about it, the rogue brigade on the opposite side actually started first!

Zhang Yingchang was naturally not to be left behind, and also let his big array work.

"Although there are more people and horses on the other side than us, they are all newly trained soldiers, what can they do, not long ago, they even went to Jiexiu and Lingshi two cities, all of them were opened by tricks, and they blamed the generals and civil officials who defended the city for being too stupid, this is a field array, I want to see what they can do."

Two or three miles east of Shitongqiao is the county seat of Jiexiu, which is a large flat wilderness, which is suitable for field warfare.

Zhang Yingchang is very confident in the field of wave fighting, except for his 500 infantry army is very elite, they are all veterans of the rest of the battle, the key is that he also has 500 elite horsemen!

These five hundred elite horsemen are the essence of his Shanxi general army, and almost all of them are his Zhang family's family!

Five hundred families can almost sweep away tens of thousands of thieves.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yingchang's heart, which was still a little hanging, immediately settled down.

"The thieves have brought so many people and horses, and most of the Dragon Thirteen are among them, if they can capture this person, it will definitely be a great achievement!"

For Zhang Yingchang, being promoted to the high position of the general army, from the perspective of the battalion soldiers, there is no way to be promoted, but the title can be added, such as "the right governor of the capital of the five armies", "the general of Pingyu", "Yin Yizi is a thousand households in Jinyi" and so on.

Don't underestimate these titles, they are not easy to get.

Fifty steps!

At this time, the firearms battalion of Xiaoqiang Camp suddenly stopped!

Then the eight tiger squat cannons in the middle were revealed from the firecrackers!

Eight tiger squat cannons, half loaded with three-pound solid bullets, and half loaded with scattered bullets!
