Although there was plenty of rain last year, the Yellow River flooded.

But God's temper is very awkward, as soon as he entered Chongzhen for six years, he began to play drought again, and in northern Shaanxi, it rained again.

Between Yan'an Mansion and Yansui Town (Yulin), thousands of miles of yellow sand, famine is everywhere.

At the same time, the Mongolian tribes are frantically seizing the border, attacking Lingzhou, Hengcheng, Yansui, Xichuan and other places.

In northern Shaanxi, there was a lot of trouble again.

At this time, Shi Jianbu was preparing to attack.

Still use 700 veterans and bring 300 recruits out of the combination.

Before setting out, everyone had to desperately check their equipment, and the soldiers carefully wiped their rifles.

At this time, at the bridgehead to the west of Longmen Gudu, there was a man in rags who looked a little miserable, walking with difficulty.

The man's name was Li Yuan.

It was the messenger who was sent out by Chen Qiyu to ask for help last time and experienced a "86 went up the mountain".

After hearing about the treatment of the soldiers of the Gaojia Villagers' Regiment, Li Yuan has been thinking about whether to change jobs.

After several days of difficult choices, he finally bravely gave up his identity and became a deserter, anyway, he didn't have a family, no parents and relatives, he ran away, and he wouldn't affect others.

Being a deserter is not an easy task.

He made up and absconded all the way, and had to hide from the outposts of the imperial court, relying on his rich experience, he finally overcame all difficulties and fled to Longmen Gudu.

Seeing the majestic Longmen Bridge of the Yellow River in front of him, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Stretched out his hand and touched his pocket, there were the last two copper plates in his pocket, if he arrived at Longmen Gudu one day later, he didn't know if these two copper plates were enough to eat half full.

Li Yuan ran to the east bridgehead.

I stumbled upon you......

A cement fortress was built at the east bridgehead, and the sentry on the fort immediately shouted and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Li Yuan hurriedly raised his head: "It's me, it's me!" A post man in Yan'an Mansion! A few days ago, I came here to ask you for help. ”

The sentry recognized it at once: "Huh? The last time you came, you rode a horse and were so handsome, why is this happening today? ”

Li Yuan said loudly: "I became a deserter, I don't want to do it in Yan'an Mansion, I want to come to Shijianshi to garrison." ”

Sentinel: "Huh? ”

The two sentinels glanced at each other, and then laughed at the same time: "I see, congratulations to my brother for abandoning the darkness and turning to the light." ”

A sentry came down from the fort, took Li Yuan in, and brought him all the way to Shi Jian.

Li Yuan walked in and found that Shi Jian's department was making preparations before the attack, and all the soldiers were checking the equipment, logistics, and a large number of supplies were being moved around.

Li Yuanqi said: "Huh? It seems like I didn't come by luck. ”

Shi Jian smiled and said to him: "Xichuan was successfully subdued by the Kou King, and once again rebelled, attacked Shuanghuyu, and is now stationed in Wangjiacha, I thought you were here to inform us, why did you have an uninformed expression?" ”

Li Yuan: "Well, when I was a deserter, the news hadn't come yet. ”

Shi Jian smiled: "Hahaha, I see." You should be familiar with the terrain over there, right? ”

Li Yuan's spirits perked: "Yes! The villain knows the terrain and customs over there well. ”

Shi Jian: "That's good, you came this time, just to be a guide for our army." Come on, send Brother Li a set of equipment, and you have to be the same as us...... Oh, no, you haven't learned how to use this rifle yet, so I can't give it to you hastily. Let's give you a set of hand crossbows and waist knives that we eliminated before. ”

Li Yuan heard that it was obsolete equipment, and he thought it was very poor.

Unexpectedly, when the logistics soldiers delivered the equipment to him, he was shocked, first-class cotton armor, steel knives with first-class materials, and well-made hand crossbows.

As soon as I put this body on my body, I instantly felt that my whole person was an "elite soldier", and it was definitely a treatment that only the military attachés' family soldiers could enjoy.

And this is not the end, the logistics soldier immediately stuffed him with another bag, which contained the portable military rations when he went out on the expedition, and there were all kinds of delicious things that Shi Jianbu took out to eat when he pretended to be forced against Chen Qiyu and Luo Xibu last time.

Logistics soldier: "Take it, your share!" ”

Li Yuan: "!! ”

Sure enough, it's the treatment of elite soldiers, and it's really fucking right to jump ship.

Li Yuan suddenly lifted his spirits, and there was a feeling: I am valued.

The so-called soldier died for the one who knew it, and at this moment Li Yuan felt that it didn't matter if he was desperate or anything.

He was neatly dressed, took the grain bag, returned to Shi Jian, and hugged his fists: "Master." ”

Shi Jian: "What? What's that called? ”

Li Yuan: "In the future, I will be your soldier, of course I have to call the master, I can't call the general like an outsider." ”

Shi Jian laughed: "Don't be like this, don't be like this, our Gaojia Village doesn't have a set of soldiers, all the militia soldiers belong to Tianzun, and your equipment and military rations are also distributed by the village committee on behalf of Tianzun, but they are not my personal pocket." ”

Li Yuan: "Huh? ”

Shi Jian pointed to his chest: "Look, Tianzun is here, and you also have it on your clothes." ”

Li Yuan looked down, and sure enough, there was a shiny heart guard on the chest of his cotton armor, and a statue of Tianzun was embroidered on the cotton cloth surface of the heart guard.

Li Yuan has heard the word "Tianzun" many times, and the last time he came, he heard that the bridge outside was also built by Tianzun and his old man.

So he accepted it quite quickly, hugged his fists and said, "General Shi, since you want me to be the guide of this expedition, then my subordinates have a few words to say." ”

Shi Jian: "Oh? You said! ”

Li Yuandao: "You said just now that the rogues of Wang Chenggong's department are stationed in Wangjiacha. ”

Shi Jian: "Yes, that's what the intelligence says. ”

Li Yuan said: "Wang Jiacha's subordinates went down once, and there was an ancient castle in that place, which seemed to be an ancient castle used by the imperial court to deal with the Mongols during the Hongwu period, and it was built very strong, easy to defend and difficult to keep." There is also a dangerous mountain called Diaphragm Valley next to it, which is also easy to defend and sad. ”

When Shi Jian heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly: "You mean, there is a siege war?" Mountain Attack? ”

Li Yuan nodded: "Exactly!" ”

He gestured with his hand to the kind of action of the huge castle: "The thief army will definitely refuse to defend the ancient castle, and if you can't hold it, you may escape into the diaphragm valley, and defend it according to the dangerous mountains and bad waters. ”

He paused, and then said: "The firecrackers are very powerful when defending, but when attacking the castle, I am afraid that it is not very useful, especially when you need to rush in at the end, when fighting in the street in the castle, the firecrackers are a little ...... Uh......"

Shi Jian understood: "Melee combat is a loss!" ”
