Liu Yan returned to Dapan Fort and immediately sent people to find Chen Xun who was stationed in Juntun and Zhang Yi who was stationed in the salt field, and together with Miao Shao, Wang Bo, Wang Yue, and Xu Ming, they held a meeting in the General Flag Hall and deployed them.

This attack was very important, Liu Yan decided to leave Wang Yue's sentry to garrison Dapan Fort, and there were no people stationed in the military tun and salt drying field, and all the military households working on both sides were also called back to the fort, and the remaining five sentry dun troops all attacked.

Regarding Liu Yan's decision, Chen Xun had some thoughts and said: "Captain A, if this battle fails to stop that group of thieves, the military tun and the salt drying field will have no defense, and they will be swept away by the thieves at any time." ”

Liu Yan said: "If this battle is defeated, most of our Dapan Fort will not be able to keep it, so what will we use to guard the military tun and the salt drying field?" It is better to concentrate the maximum force and do your best to defeat the thieves. ”

When everyone heard this, they thought so.

On the same day, Zhao Min took a group of military households to prepare rations for the soldiers who attacked, and issued a month's military salary, Wang Yunhe also brought a batch of roasted pot wine with the guys from the winery, this batch of roasted pot wine has been distilled several times, and the degree is very high, which can be used as a substitute for medical alcohol.

At the same time, Tan Xiaoda and Xu Le also came with craftsmen, and kept asking what equipment the sentry soldiers lacked so that they could replenish it as soon as possible.

In this way, the inside and outside of Dapanbao were busy all night. Early the next morning, Liu Yan and the five sentinels who attacked packed up and gathered on the school field outside the fort to make the final preparations before departure.

Wang Yue, the small flag official, stayed behind, and at this time, he and Wang Yunhe and several other principals, as well as a large number of military households, came out to see each other.

Liu Yan instructed Wang Yue to guard Dapan Fort carefully, no matter what happened, just stick to it, and never fight at will. Wang Yue hurriedly agreed.

Then Liu Yan smiled and said to Wang Yunhe: "Wait in the castle with peace of mind, I'll come when I go!" ”

Wang Yunhe nodded, then handed an embroidered sachet to Liu Yan, said a little careful, and then stepped aside, holding back tears and no longer speaking.

Liu Yan laughed and then gave the order to set off.

Several small flag officers were already in their respective ranks, with the outpost led by Chen Xun as the vanguard, followed by Zhang Yi and Wang Bo, then Liu Yan and Miao Shao's Zhongjun post, and finally a dozen horse-drawn carriages pulling grain, grass and baggage, and the small flag officer Xu Ming led the cavalry post to escort the convoy at the rear.

All the soldiers are dressed neatly, as long as there is armor, all must be put on armor, no one is allowed to leave the weapon, and the banners of each post and flag must also be played, so that although the whole army is only more than 900 people, but the momentum is also quite shocking, giving people a kind of killing momentum of thousands of troops!

"Let's go!"

Liu Yan gave an order, and the brigade began to march under the sound of horns, and went to Wangjiazhuang along the official road.

In the various departments of Dapanbao, Liu Yan still uses the horn as a means of communication, although the war drum has momentum, and the drum spreads far, but now there are not many people in Dapanbao, and there is no need for this for the time being, and the horn is the best choice whether it is practical or cost-effective.

More than an hour later, Liu Yan led his troops to arrive outside Wangjiazhuang.

At this time, Shen Tuo led more than 40 people from Huangshandun had already arrived first, and Jia Hongyu also led 200 Dun troops from Wangjiazhuang and 80 families to wait in line outside.

Some gentry from all over Wangjiazhuang were laughing at the army, standing with Wang Weizhen and greeting each other.

"Woo~woo!"

At this moment, a horn sounded, everyone was attracted by the sound, only to see an ironclad army sweeping over, a bright sun and moon Jin Tao battle flag fluttering in the cold wind, thousands of troops marching in the cold wind, there was no noise, no chaos, thousands of people in unison, as if one person, so that Wang Weizhen and others were dumbfounded in an instant.

"This、This is the centaur of Dapan Castle?"

Wang Weizhen looked at Jia Hongyu beside him in disbelief, Jia Hongyu was also dumbfounded at this time, when did Liu Yan train so many ironclad elite soldiers!

At this time, all the sentries and soldiers in Dapanbao were pikemen in front, and the bird guns were in the back, so Wang Weizhen and others looked at it, and they saw that they were all ironclad soldiers, and they thought that the dun soldiers in Dapanbao were wearing armor.

The gentry were even more frightened, and they were cowering when they gathered together, and the bearing of the conversation just now was gone.

Shen Tuo looked at the people and horses in the distance, but a fire ignited in his heart, and he said secretly: "Liu Zongqi is really a god!" ”

After a while, the sentinels of Dapanbao drove to the front, Liu Yan came to the front of the team, raised his right hand high, and Miao Shao, who was following behind, immediately shouted: "Stop advancing!" ”

In an instant, the marching procession of thousands of people directly stopped on the spot, and there was not the slightest sound in the procession. This scene made Wang Weizhen and others completely admired, and Jia Hongyu even said Nan Nan: "Even the Qi family army back then was just like that!" ”

Wang Weizhen coughed, hiding his gaffe when he was stunned, and then took Shen Tuo and Jia Hongyu to greet him.

"Haha!"

Wang Weizhen laughed and said: "Liu Zongqi, let me say what is good about you, you are my lieutenant, how did you train such a team!" ”

Jia Hongyu also said with a smile: "It's okay now, with Liu Zongqi, this battle will be won!" ”

Although Shen Tuo didn't speak, he also looked at the army in front of him with a smile, and there was envy between his eyebrows.

Liu Yan smiled and said secretly: "If you smash a large amount of silver into it, you can also train a strong army, but you don't do it!" ”

"Hehe, I've seen the master of the management team, I've seen Brother Jia and Shen Zongqi."

Seeing that Liu Yan was just greetings, Wang Weizhen didn't want to ask too much, anyway, he knew that Liu Yan was rich, and it was not difficult to train this army, but he didn't expect Liu Yan to be so willing to spend money and have the ability to train soldiers.

After a few people chatted for a while, Liu Yan asked about the money and food mentioned yesterday.

Wang Weizhen naturally saw the convoy behind the team, but this time he still had to rely on Liu Yan, so naturally he didn't think that Qian Liang would say anything, so he said with a smile: "Liu Zongqi rest assured, the money and grain are ready, just on the car over there, but it is prepared according to two hundred people, the number is definitely not enough, Liu Zongqi will take it first." The rest, when we come back triumphantly, I will make it up to you. ”

Wang Weizhen's words still counted, and Liu Yan immediately agreed.

At this time, Wang Weizhen's heart was settled, and his mood naturally improved, only to see Wang Weizhen wave his hand and say loudly: "Let's go, go to the ancient town immediately, and meet Lord Zhang!" ”

Subsequently, 1,200 or 300 men and horses from all departments of Wangjiazhuang converged together, with Liu Yanbu in front, Huangshandun and Wangjiazhuang in the back, marched north from Wangjiazhuang, and finally arrived outside the ancient town inspection fort in the evening of the same day.

Zhang Hailin, the defensive officer, had already arrived here with all the troops, and Wangjiazhuang's men and horses were the last ones.

At this time, there was a big military camp outside the ancient town inspection fort, and there were more than 2,000 people everywhere, which was much more than the estimated number of people and horses by Wang Weizhen and Liu Yan and others.

And when the thousands of Dapanbao soldiers led by Liu Yan arrived here, Zhang Hailin and other officials were immediately alarmed, and even the soldiers of the Dun Army were also sensational, and they came to watch the ironclad army of Dapanbao!

Wang Weizhen took Liu Yan, Shen Tuo, and Jia Hongyu to meet Zhang Hailin, only to see Wang Weizhen's face full of concern, and said in a trembling voice: "It's so cold, the adult actually led his troops to come, and his subordinates really don't feel good in their hearts, and the adults must take care of their bodies!" ”

"Hehe, Wang Baihu has a heart!"

Then Zhang Hailin looked at Liu Yan, took Liu Yan's hand, pointed to the team not far away, and asked earnestly: "Liu Yan, this is your armor from Dapan Fort?" ”

Liu Yan took a step back, clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Lord Qiyu, after receiving the order from the master of the management team, his subordinates immediately gathered all the soldiers of Dapan Fort in formal clothes, and did not dare to slack off. Fortunately, under the leadership of the management team, 937 people from the subordinate department all arrived at the Guzhen Inspection Division on time, please review! ”

"More than 900 people!"

Zhang Hailin couldn't help but gasp, what kind of person is this Liu Yan, who can train such an elite army, so Zhang Hailin is more important to Liu Yan, and his words are getting closer and closer, which makes Wang Weizhen and the generals very hot when they see it.

The generals of the Qianhu Houses in front of Xiahe Village around Zhang Hailin also praised one after another, but one of them looked at Liu Yan coldly, as if he was bitter and hateful.

Especially after this person saw Zhang Hailin's attitude, he snorted even more dissatisfiedly, and then stood up and said loudly: "Liu Zongqi is just the armor commander of a tunbao, and he actually hides such an ironclad army of 1,000 people, I don't know where Liu Zongqi's money and food for training soldiers come from, is it a violation of the system?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, although Zhang Hailin frowned slightly and was not very happy, but he did not refute, but just looked at Liu Yan. Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu glared angrily, eager to rush up and beat this person.

Liu Yan looked over with a straight face, and Jia Hongyu next to him whispered: "This person is Dai Jingbin and Dai Baihu!" ”

"It turned out to be him!"

Liu Yan didn't expect Liu Dayu's backer to come over, and it was really a narrow road, so he said coldly: "Back to Dai Baihu's words: These dun troops under me are all loyal and good people who are enthusiastic about serving the country, and under the command of the defense lord, everyone came to fight, is it still a sin?" Besides, where does my money come from, and what does it have to do with you? Whether I violate the rules or not, why do you care! ”

Dai Jingbin never imagined that Liu Yan would dare to confront him in person, and he was immediately annoyed and angry, and he was angry and wanted to step forward and fight Liu Yan to the end, but was stopped by Zhang Hailin.

Zhang Hailin was obviously also considering the two questions raised by Dai Jingbin, but this battle needed Liu Yan's help, so he didn't say anything about Liu Yan, but said to Dai Jingbin: "Dai Baihu is a little restless, now is the time to employ people, Liu Zongqi is dedicated to serving the country, so don't be demanding in these details." ”

Dai Jingbin had no choice but to give up when he saw this, but he still glared at Liu Yan viciously, and Liu Yan was not to be outdone.

Seeing this, Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu next to him were in trouble, Dai Jingbin will definitely not give up this time, this is a sinister villain, and some will do it in the future.

Then Wang Weizhen, Liu Yan and others led their troops to settle down, and that night Zhang Hailin convened the final meeting to discuss the start of the war.

"This invasion of the army of thieves, the officials of Lingshanwei already know about it, and sent an official letter to me, ordering the official to immediately lead his troops to exterminate it."

Zhang Hailin stared at the people sitting in the tent, and said slowly: "In this battle, I must fight a big victory in the Qianhu Institute in Xiahe Village, no matter whether this group of thieves is a straggler or a disaster victim, even if it is really Li Zicheng's remnants who are killed, they must be exterminated for me!" At the time of war, if anyone pulls back the official and cowers in the face of war, don't care if the official is unsympathetic! ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Hailin began to introduce the situation of the people in each department.

This time, Zhang Hailin brought more than 800 people from the Qianqian households in Xiahe Village, of which more than 300 people were the families of thousands of households and hundreds of households.

Zhaojiaying, Zoumaling, Xiaotanbao and other hundreds of households did not bring many soldiers and horses, basically more than 300 people.

Song Gongming, the inspector of the Guzhen Inspection Division, was also in the tent at this time, and he brought more than 600 people, which can be regarded as a great effort.

Then Zhang Hailin asked Wang Weizhen to introduce the dispatch of troops from Wangjiazhuang.
