According to Yan Zheng's plan, he planned to organize the men sent from various tribes into a battalion.

This battalion is all heavily armoured, and it is directly responsible for charging in front, as long as they are trained well, Yan Zheng's confidence in the surprise attack will be greatly increased.

He also didn't like to hang on with a matter in the balance, so he set a date for training these people for a month, when the tribe's harvest was over and manpower was the best time to mobilize.

It's just that the enemy can't wait, and this point in time is crooked, just in time when the rice in Mocheng is just about to be harvested.

But this is still good news for Yan Zheng, he believes that this fortress defense system is enough to make the ignorant pirates and pirates suffer enough.

He ordered that all the women, old and young, outside Meoc be immediately withdrawn, and that the militia and men should enter Meadow.

At the same time, a company of soldiers was sent along the river to block the enemy with bows and crossbows, but they were not allowed to use arquebuses.

He also personally inspected the vertical batteries, as well as the large convex ones, and emphasized once again that the timing of the opening of the guns was when the enemy crossed a certain mark.

These new artillerymen repeated it one after another, and at the same time demonstrated it as required, how to adjust the angle of the muzzle by using the lugs and the base of the gun.

Yan Zheng is very satisfied, this kind of mechanical teaching input, let these new artillerymen remember a few points.

After doing all this, he returned to the Red Room and began to write articles on how the defense of Meaux was carried out, the soldiers had already rehearsed, and several company commanders would take care of their duties.

If the vertical battery and the three trenches are lost, then his soldiers will come to escort him out.

The only regret is that Lu Wan hasn't come back yet, and the devil knows where he went!

…………

On the other side of Yangang, Yang Chengde's mentality is not as easy as Yan Zheng.

After landing with the troops, there were not enough small boats to lay down on the ship, so they had to stop to build rafts.

Yang Chengde had a forehead tied on his head at this time, a face towel on his face, and his eyes were bloodshot.

In fact, there are no tattoos on his face, because his father Yang Yunsheng has ordered him to remove the tattoos on his face, leaving two terrible scars.

This made him even more painful, and in addition to hating Shorthair, he also hated his father deeply.

He felt that erasing the tattoo on his face was like covering his ears and stealing the bell, and that there was no less humiliation than to make him suffer painfully.

After returning to Ningbo Mansion from Dongfan Island, he realized what it means to be disgusted by dogs.

It's not just outsiders who laugh at him, but their Yang family also laughs at him.

Especially his father's more cold attitude, which made him feel a deep tingling.

So he took out the money he had accumulated over the years, and relied on his connections and foundation over the years to mobilize these 3,000 people.

He just wanted to make a break and lead his troops to attack Shorthair once, whether he could kill Shorthair or not, he decided to set up camp on the side of the bamboo trench.

Even in his mind, there has always been a very strong thought, that is, he wants to take people back to the Yang family and kill the so-called sister-in-law and his hypocrite's father.

It's just that after this thought arose, he couldn't help but feel sad.

For so many years, he, a concubine, has not done anything to be sorry for the Yang family, and the Yang family's great family business has at least half of his merits.

But Yang Chengde knew since he was a child that his father didn't have him in his heart at all, no matter how much his father relied on him every time, he couldn't hide his father's pride and care for him, and he never had the kind of pride and care he deserved.

Especially after Dongfan was blackened, he felt more malice from the Yang family, and this kind of soft knife made him suffer a lot in his heart.

And what hurt him the most was that his father also used the ransom to blackmail the Zhang family once, forcing the Zhang family to fold half of the family business.

This caused him to lose his last friend, and when he thought of Zhang He's hatred for him, Yang Chengde was even more painful.

But he couldn't help it! He still habitually didn't dare to disobey this father, just like when he was a child, when he saw this father, he first became weak.

If he saw this dad smile at him, he would be happy for a long time when he was a child.

Thinking of these, Yang Chengde wanted to make a settlement more and more, he wanted to stay away from Ningbo Mansion, stay away from the Yang family, even if he was a pirate on the other side of the bamboo trench, it was better than continuing to nest in Ningbo and be humiliated.

He also understood that this time the troops attacked Shorthair, first, to take revenge, second, to plunder more people, and third, to ensure that they could stay in the bamboo trench for a long time without being disturbed.

"Lord, you're all set!" Just when Yang Chengde was stunned, a small soldier ran over and said.

"Let's go!" Yang Chengde didn't say a word, and jumped into a small boat.

His men and horses also began to sit on the raft and began to drive upstream.

Most of these people are pirates and river bandits, as well as two hundred Japanese ronin.

Yang Chengde spent ninety percent of the silver he had accumulated over the years to gather these people.

He also learned shorthair, reclaimed a number of fertile fields in Zhuqian Port, and also captured many indigenous women and distributed them to these people.

As the bamboo raft went upstream, Yang Chengde became more and more irritable.

After walking for about three hours, he encountered the first wave of resistance.

A group of barbarians fired a flurry of arrows in the dense forest on the shore, killing several people.

When they caught up, they found that the brute had run away.

So they continued upstream, and came under attack on several smaller ambushes.

This made Yang Chengde even more irritable, and he ordered that if he encountered an ambush, he would use arrows to shoot back, so as not to delay the march again.

It's just that these attacks still appear from time to time, and they can take a few people away each time, so that along the way, these original bandits are all a little grassy and woody.

When he finally saw Mo City, Yang Chengde didn't dare to get too close, so he ordered everyone to run off the bamboo raft and prepare to launch another attack after the assembly was completed.

In his opinion, this city is not tall and not big, and one wave is enough.

It's just that what made him speechless was that these bandits from mud legs, when they saw the yellow and clear rice, someone actually stopped, picked the ears of rice and chewed it.

While chewing, he boasted that this piece of rice grew really well.

Yang Chengde couldn't help but be angry, but he still chose not to attack, but waited until these people got off the bamboo raft before ordering to assemble and prepare to attack.

Looking at Mo Cheng in the distance, Yang Chengde, a person who has not fought much, only knows the only method, that is, the tactics that the Japanese like when fighting.

Divided into several teams, the elite soldiers hid in the formation, slowly driving the front row to lean forward, and when they found an opportunity, they were killed by the elite soldiers.

He hid deep in the back, looking at the barbarians in the distance who were also ready, he felt that this time, whether it was successful or not, it was an end!

"Suddenly!" The Japanese ronin shouted, and then they were in battle and began to drive the bandits in the front row to start leaning forward.

Step by step, soon they came to that strange slope.

Then, Yang Chengde saw a flash of light on the round house.

I heard a loud bang, and a black shadow flew quickly in the sky.

Boom, the ground was shaken, and a blood mist exploded in front, only to see the stump and broken arm in the front row instantly fall to the ground.

The screams were heard after a pause, and then a black shadow flew out of the big bulge of Meaux.

Yang Chengde's bloodshot eyes were huge, and a coldness spread from the tail vertebrae to his whole body.

He saw clearly, an iron bullet jumped a few times on the slope, and finally in this team, ploughed a flesh alley!
