Eggs can't all be put in one basket.

Needless to say, Grandpa Wei still has people lurking outside.

When I think about it, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, Gonggong Wei, a person who is afraid of death, can stay in one place so honestly and not lie in the back?

Otherwise, it is really blocked, and if he wants to jump into the manure pit, it depends on whether Wuxi County agrees.

That's going to be a crowd.

Small apartment, poor ventilation, and not bright space.

Potentially outside are the Xun soldiers directly under the pro-military camp, all of them are the original Liaodong horse bandits, Han Chinese, Koreans, Jurchens, and Mongols, and these gang of horse bandits may not be able to ask them to fight in the regular army, but they are all good at asking them to act alone and pass on an order or something.

Without it, the artist is bold.

Like the soldiers who stayed in the Beijing office, the soldiers in the pro-military camp were also in groups of two, usually in civilian clothes, and they were also alone in food and housing, and they looked no different from the people.

Their armament is not only horses, crossbow arrows, but also signal flares.

The regular army of the Ming Dynasty called the signal flare a smoke agent, and Gonggong Wei definitely didn't like the name of such a dirty bun, so Yu said that this was a signal flare for communication.

Before leaving Beijing, he specially bought a batch of smoke agent from Jinyi Weinan Town and Song Qingyang, and then asked the firearms craftsman who was tied up by the Military War Bureau to restructure it according to the principle of fireworks, making the smoke agent a veritable signal flare.

After the flare is in the air, it is divided into three colors.

They are red, yellow, and blue.

According to the principle of the signal light, the rule given by Gonggong Wei is that the blue bullet ascends to heaven, which is to inform that there is danger, but there is no urgency, and all the troops must immediately prepare and be vigilant, and set off at any time.

When the yellow bullet rises to the sky, the danger deepens, and the enemy is not far away, so all units gather at the dispatch office as soon as they see the number.

When the red bullet goes to the sky, it is 100,000 urgent.

These three bombs were the explicit contact signals issued by the Wei Gonggong compiled a manual, and ordinary sergeants had to know what the color of the signal rising in the sky meant even if they were illiterate.

But there is another signal, which can only be known by officers above the standard general.

Gong Wei called it the Sky Fire Dragon Cannon.

Don't look at the loud name, in fact, it is a firecracker used by the people, forty sounds, and after the explosion, there are all kinds of colors that rise to the sky.

If the sky-high fire dragon cannon ascends to the sky, it has no other meaning, just one - our family is in danger, and we are about to fart, you come and save our family! … If you really can't save it, you can find a way to escape for your life.

This is also the meaning of the greatness of life and the splendor of death.

In the fireworks in the sky, Wei Gonggong is like the splendor of summer flowers, and his death is like the quiet beauty of autumn leaves, what else can not be seen.

Of course, until the last moment, Gonggong Wei categorically did not fire the sky-high fire dragon cannon.

He still wants to be a thousand-year-old king.

In fact, even if it is modified, the effect of this flare is limited, especially in the daytime, the visual range is not more than three miles at most, and you need excellent eyesight to distinguish colors. However, when used at night, the effect is significant, at least doubling the range compared to daytime.

Bright and eye-catching, plus ears, anyone but the blind and deaf can see.

Of course, Gonggong Wei was a conservative person, and he didn't dare to put the signal only on the sergeant's eye, so he came up with this rally transmission method.

Set up a group in three miles, and pass it on from group to group, step by step like the Olympic torch in the previous life, so as to ensure that the subordinates can receive orders in time.

The first blue bullet was hit by Father-in-law Wei himself, and with a "whoosh" sound, the Diamond Dragon rocketed into the air, and then exploded in mid-air.

In less than three breaths, two more bullets were lifted into the air in the distance, like the brightest star in the night sky.

Not to mention, the crowd on the front street of the county really frightened this "spark", and everyone looked up at the sky, all of them were unclear.

Gonggong Wei just hopes that they don't know what they are doing, and when they are inside, it would be better if these people could not be aware of it.

This blue bullet is both bluffing and not bluffing.

The real meaning is a warning.

Gonggong Wei took a small red flag from Xiao Tian from the ladder, and then stuck it in the gap between the bricks on the wall.

This is the first warning, and the first opportunity.

In public and private, in affection and reason, Father-in-law Wei is a good father-in-law who loves the people like a son.

………

At the same time, in the shallow woods at an unknown river bay more than ten miles outside Wuxi, two signal soldiers who had been staring at the county town in the distance moved, and then the same blue signal bullet was fired out of their hands.

"100 households, blue signal!"

"Ready!"

With the order of Zheng Duo, the commander of the horse team battalion and the father-in-law of Wei, more than 300 soldiers of the horse team who were resting in the forest jumped up from the ground and quickly rushed to the mount at the edge of the forest. The horse workers of the former Taifu Temple Suning Horse Factory, who were responsible for managing and raising horses, retreated to the side.

Zheng Duo patted his buttocks and walked slowly to the middle of the road with a blade of grass in his mouth, but he did not order the whole battalion to get on the horse and rush to the county seat, but was waiting for something.

"Hundred?"

Zhao Ming, who was specially appointed by Gonggong Wei as the general manager of the horse team because of his meritorious work in managing the horse, looked at it suspiciously.

"No hurry!"

Zheng Duo's demeanor was calm, and Gonggong Wei's blue bullet showed that the matter had not yet reached a serious level.

The canal is not far from where the horse team is, and the three battalion officers Cao Wenyao, Wu Fuming, and Guo Dafeng have already come to the shore. And the guards who were originally stationed by the river were all there.

"Okay, what's the signal?"

The seventh uncle and grandfather slept in a daze, and what the hell did the nephew and grandson do in the middle of the night, and let people not sleep.

Cao Wenyao and Wu Fuming glanced at this elder of Gonggong Wei, and shook their heads with a wry smile: This is really not a military meal.

"Looks like there's something going on in the city."

Wu Fuming stared at the night sky in the distance for a while, and was really a little puzzled. In the land of Jiangnan, what can happen?

"Nothing will be signaled."

Cao Wenyao didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered the summoning, and about a quarter of an hour later, the two battalions of the left and right infantry troops were assembled, but there was some friction on the side of the baggage battalion, and only a standard man and horse were roughly assembled. The fastest moves were the two targets of the Guards Battalion, who had already assembled, and they were all busy checking the medicine and the rope.

Cao Wenyao glanced at these Liaodong Japanese soldiers, although they despised the Japanese in their bones, but these Japanese were much more proficient in the use of firearms than ordinary Ming officers and soldiers.

Wu Fuming secretly scolded that Guo Dafeng was not good for governing the army, and discussed with Cao Wenyao whether the two of them should lead the troops into the city first. While they were discussing, a sergeant came to report that there was a red signal in the southeast sky.

"Hundred, red signal!"

Zhao Ming pointed to the sky three miles away and exclaimed.

Zheng Duo spit out the blades of grass in his mouth and shouted: "Get on the horse!" ”

Soon, all the soldiers of the horse team turned over and got on their horses, and the horsemen below handed them the torches that had been made long ago. In an instant, a fiery dragon was born.

"Go to Donglin Academy!"

Zheng Duo pulled the reins, flicked the whip, and the war horse neighed and rushed forward.
