"Dragon Thirteen, in the past year, you have done an excellent job of completing the tasks assigned to you by the system, and now, it is your last task in Shanxi, after completing this task, you can develop as you like, and the system will only assign points according to your performance in each activity."

"Of course, if you encounter hidden conditions and events, the system will still remind you, especially when it comes to Long Xiaoshi's cultivation."

"I'll give you a task now."

......

Head Fort.

He Jinlong and Bai Wenxuan continued to advance, while Long Xiaoshi remained near the waterhead fort, and he was directing his musketeers and artillerymen to build a low wall with straw bags filled with earth and stones.

In fact, he built it on the basis of an abandoned courtyard of a large family located right next to the post road, and the courtyard was only ruined and broken, but the lowest point was also one meter high, and the area was also ten acres in size, just enough for the rest of the people to enter and station.

When he was directing everyone to build a large camp, he thought of the instructions that Long Thirteen and Long Thirteen had given him.

"Xiao Shi, in the ancestral wide department, there is a scholar, he is the son of Yongping Bingbei Dao Fang Yizao, in his early twenties, named Fang Guangchen, like you, he was born in Wenwu Xiucai, he doesn't like fame, he loves to travel, and he is friendly with Wu Sangui, the son of Wu Xiang, the commander of Ning Yuanwei."

"Right now, he volunteered to join Zu Kuan's army as a staff member, it is said that he is your cousin, if He Jinlong defeated Bai An and Zu Kuan, remember to convince this person to surrender."

(Fang Guangchen, one of Wu Sangui's military advisors when he raised troops in Yunnan)

In other words, Long Xiaoshifu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Long Thirteen's words.

"How did the big boss know about the kinship between my family and the Fang family? Also, that Fang Guangchen is indeed a character, and his brother-in-law was full of praise when he saw him before, saying that he had Chen Ping and Liu Jicai."

"Most of it was told to him by the newcomer Li Xin, this Li Xin is also a civil and military talent, and he has traveled all over Hebei since that year, maybe he has met Fang Guangchen, and then got a relationship with my family."

Just as he was thinking about it, his own soldiers suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted, "Seven masters, look."

Long Xiaoshi looked at his fingers, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart at this look!

A large group of people appeared in the northwest direction!

"Northwest direction, according to the previous information, that is Hong Chengchou's department, could it be that Hong Chengchou did not go to Linyi County, but after getting the news of the second brigade's dispatch, he chased our brigade over?"

At this time, he was in the center of the courtyard that had been built, the previous courtyard should be a three-in, about 100 meters long, about 100 meters wide, and about 300 meters in circumference.

The reason why four people were still needed to be responsible for the one-pound artillery was because Long Thirteen considered that if he encountered unfavorable terrain, one person could carry the artillery, and the other three people would carry spare ammunition.

Seven hundred pieces of ammunition were used on twelve Tiger Squat cannons, and each gun could be divided into nearly sixty parts.

In addition, the more powerful of the firecrackers also carried ten earth-shaking thunderbolts weighing three catties each, plus ten pack horses (also equivalent to three people), a total of 800 earth-shaking thunderbolts.

In addition, the lead carried by each musketeer, because the paper shell bullet is composed of half a tael of lead and half a tael of gunpowder, that is, a paper shell bullet weighs one tael, and a hundred pieces are only ten catties, plus a lance, a strip of cloth, primer, a fire rope, velvet, a one-handed knife, etc., adding up to less than 20 catties, so they can carry ten more days of dry food.

This time, Long Thirteen apparently didn't intend to keep them in the field for ten days, so they actually loaded some dry rations for the artillery.

The so-called thirty-pound cross-country running, in the small strong brigade of Dragon Thirteen, came about like this.

He placed four cannons on each of the two longer walls, and two guns on each of the two shorter walls.

A courtyard of 300 meters can be filled with 300 musketeers, and the longer courtyard walls are each equipped with grenadiers, and the shorter courtyard is equipped with 10 men.

In addition, artillery, if used properly, can stop the enemy for at least a day.

Dragon Thirteen hasn't been here since he came from training to become a firecracker

When the arquebus is really used by the barracks, it is now snowing heavily, although it is extremely cold, but it is the time when the wind is light, and it is the perfect time for the arquebus to play!

"Fortunately, the fortification was built early in the morning, otherwise we would have lost the protection of pikemen in the field and suddenly encountered the enemy, and the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Looking at the enemies that were getting closer and closer, Long Thirteen thought secretly.

It was indeed Yang Jiamo, He Renlong, and Li Bei who were supervised by Hong Chengchou, and originally these three subordinates all had one horse, but after several battles with the Xiaoqiang brigade, their cavalry was greatly weakened, and there were only one or two hundred horsemen left, but the infantry army was almost intact.

Therefore, what Long Xiaoshi needs to face is the total cavalry, an army of about 3,000 infantry troops!

The total military strength is seven times his!

"The big boss let me contact Fang Guangchen, but unfortunately, I have to win the battle in front of me first, needless to say, the eight thousand foot cavalry led by Deng Xi has already entangled the big boss, so don't expect him to come over to rescue him, and He Jinlong and Bai Wenxuan in the north must first defeat Bai An and Zu Kuanbu, who are no less numerous than them."

Faced with an unfavorable situation, Long Xiaoshi, who was only sixteen years old, became excited.

The place where he was located happened to be a pavilion with only four stone pillars left in the middle of the second entrance of the former courtyard, which could be used as a camp lookout after filling in straw bags.

Like the low wall, which is about one meter six high, although the high platform is one zhang high, the pedestal in it is only one meter four high, and there is a circle of straw bags on it.

's background is the same as Long Xiaoshi, they are all young martial artists from Jiexiu County, Lingshi County, and Huozhou, and they are all martial artists from poor families who have received the grace of Long Thirteen.

Since the courtyard is located in the middle of the post road, Long Xiaoshi just sealed the two ends of the post road, and on both sides are fields with pits and ravines, and Hong Chengchou's people and horses can naturally bypass this courtyard.

But for Hong Chengchou, because he didn't know the exact location of the courtyard, and he was worried that after he made a detour, the thief army here would copy his back road, so it was obvious that he would try to talk about it.

Soon, Hong Chengchou let his arrogance Cai Jiuyi climb to a high place to see the situation in the courtyard clearly.

"All firecrackers?"

After getting the news, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but be a little uncertain.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there has never been an army that can make the firecrackers form a separate army, so even if this army can copy its rear road, it will not threaten, in his mind, the slow-loading firearms can send out two lead bullets on the tense battlefield, and it will collapse with a rush of cavalry.

And he had already received the news that the main forces of He Jinlong and Bai Wenxuan were moving towards Bai An and Zu Kuanbu.

"Dragon Thirteen's cavalry is too powerful, Zu Kuan was defeated in his hands before, if he is the only one, I'm afraid he is still not an opponent, I can't give up my big because of the small."

So, he decided to go around it.

The officers and soldiers suddenly made a detour about thirty zhang away from the courtyard, which made Long Xiaoshi a little overwhelmed.

After a while, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Hong Chengchou is obviously going to attack the second master, no, it will be a little difficult for the second leader to deal with Bai An and Zu Kuan, not to mention the army of Hong Chengchou!"

"Grenadiers listen to me!"

The grenadier he was talking about was a special firearm soldier who could fire one or two heavy lead bullets, with a maximum range of 200 meters and an effective range of about 100 meters.

They took over the ordinary musketeers who were only one meter away from the courtyard wall, and then raised the heavy arquebuses weighing twelve pounds in their hands..

"Remember, aim at the cavalry and generals as much as possible!"

"Bang ......"

The sound of a heavy arquebus is much more dull than that of a normal arquebus, and the movement caused by the joint firing of such arquebuses is quite impressive!

Their shooting effect this time was quite good, and at this time in the Ming Dynasty, the army had already had a longer than heavy arquebus.

The heavier lifting gun, the range is much longer, but it is obviously never hit together, and the army of Dragon Thirteen has used it like this, which is the first time in the land of the Ming Dynasty!

As a result, Hong Chengchou paid the price for his light enemy.

At this time, opposite the grenadiers were Yang Jiamo's family members and part of the infantry army, when the sound of the fire bolt sounded, at least ten family soldiers fell off their horses, at least one of the infantry soldiers riding a horse, a sentry commander, and more than a dozen sword and shield soldiers were knocked to the ground!

This angered Yang Jiamo, and at the same time made Hong Chengchou wary - the thieves' firecrackers could be launched so far, if they came up from behind, even if they were defeated by our army in the end, I am afraid that they would cause a lot of damage to their own side!

So, when Yang Jiamo proposed to defeat this small group of enemies first, Hong Chengchou agreed with a little groan.

Since it was proposed by Yang Jiamo, it was natural to use his troops to attack first.

Yang Jiamo, after Yang Ye of the Northern Song Dynasty, an outstanding representative of the Yang family generals in Gansu, this time he brought over an elite Gansu soldier, all of whom were trained in the battles with Qilian Mountain, Qinghai Tusi, and Mongolian tribes, although they were not as good as Yansui Town and Datong Town, but they were not much different.

At present, Yang Jiamo came to the Shanxi battlefield with his eldest son Yang Guanglie, as well as the Yongtai battalion of the Yongtai battalion of the nearby Dorji Mongol tribe to deal with the Yongtai battalion of the nearby Dorji Mongol tribe.

Yue Zhenbang, after Yue Fei, the father of Yue Shenglong, the famous general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the grandfather of Yue Zhongqi, is only twenty-two years old this year, and the Jingtai area at this time is not the territory of the Han people, but is occupied by a group of Mongols who have diverged from the Mongolian tribe of Yuan'er Dusi, and the leader is called Dorji.

Yue Zhenbang did not have a military position at this time, but he was able to recruit young men to fight with him, and after large and small battles, he captured Dorji alive and almost wiped out Dorji, so he was promoted to the commander of the Yongtai battalion because of his merits.

There are only 300 people under Yue Zhenbang who eat military salaries, but these 300 people have a configuration that is rare in the Ming Dynasty at this time.

They are unique spear and shield soldiers, yes, they have a rectangular shield with the outward side of the shield covered with spear tips, which can be used for defense and attack.

A spear, of course, could not be a standard spear two feet long like a pikeman, but a shorter, lighter spear one foot long.

This kind of establishment was created by Yue Zhenbang, and it was this ingenuity that he relied on the infantry army to almost wipe out the Dorji tribe and completely drive the Mongols out of the Jingtai area.

Like his ancestors, Yue Zhenbang was not tall, but he had amazing strength, he carried an iron shield and a standard spear, and rushed towards the courtyard wall where Long Xiaoshi was now with his spear and shield soldiers!
