After hearing the report of the scouts and cavalry, the army of the county guard appeared more than 20 kilometers south of Fengyan Town.

Lin Ziran sat and didn't say anything, but habitually tapped his fingers on the table.

The lowly people didn't speak when they saw him like this, and those who were familiar with Lin Ziran knew that when Lin Ziran habitually tapped his fingers on the table or armrest, it meant that he was thinking about something.

Anyone with a little vision would not disturb Lin Ziran's thinking at this time.

Luo Mazi, who talks a lot on weekdays, obediently closed the last at this time.

Wu Guanlin, on the other side, had a worried face.

According to the judgment of Wu Guanlin, a professional officer, the army of the 3,000 county guards in the south should only be the forward force, and it may be followed by thousands or even tens of thousands of troops.

According to this speculation, it is possible that the county guard may even send tens of thousands of people, and it must be a complete force of infantry, artillery and cavalry.

Such a county guard army is not easy to deal with!

Because today's county guard troops are actually the first and fifth divisions of the original Luo'an Army and a large number of independent troops, such as the famous Luo'an Second Heavy Cavalry Regiment, which is now under the command of Jianminggang, and these are the main forces in the Luo'an army system for many years.

These main forces in the Luo An army system are not easy to deal with.

The overall quality of officers and soldiers is not at all comparable to the Sixth Division made by Lin Ziran.

Because the predecessor of these armies was one of the main army units of the Great Heng Empire.

In the era of Cheng Lingfeng, because Cheng Lingfeng was not only the county guard of Luo'an County, but also the garrison of Luo Guang, because the troops under the command of Cheng Lingfeng were actually not Luo Anjun or Luo Guangjun, but called the 'Third Army'.

The name is derived from the 'Third Army of the Ninth Army of the Great Heng Imperial Army'.

The history of the establishment of the army can be traced back to the founding war of Daheng more than 200 years ago, and it was also one of the main forces in the Hengao War 50 years ago.

In the war between Nanhai Prefecture and Dongding Prefecture more than ten years ago, the Southern Navy, that is, the Ninth Army Corps, still performed well.

Unfortunately, as luck would have it, Duke Meng was killed in the middle of the state order, and his death instantly led to civil strife in Nanhai Prefecture, and like other states, it fell into a situation of separating feudal towns.

Cheng Lingfeng also took the opportunity to lead the army to stand on its own, and the Third Army was actually only 30,000 or 40,000 people, and after occupying the two counties of Luoguang and Guangzhou, it was successively expanded into eight divisions and a number of independent cavalry regiments and artillery regiments, with a total strength of more than 100,000.

However, five years ago, the three divisions stationed in Guang'an collectively mutinied, and finally evolved into the first, second, and third armies of Guang'an.

There are only five divisions left in the Luo An Army, and Cheng Lingfeng's Luo Guang garrison has no one to say, and even people are gradually forgetting the Third Army of the Ninth Army of the Imperial Army, which has a long history and countless honors.

However, although the two counties of Luoguang were divided, the main forces of the two counties were actually still those troops of the Third Army back then.

The same was true after the Jianminggang Mutiny.

In the course of the Luo'an Civil War, although the Fifth Division and the First Division had changed, in fact, the backbone was still retained, and the other troops under the control of the Jian family were also incorporated into this unit, and they urgently expanded their recruitment and purchased a large number of new equipment, especially the new nine-catty field artillery.

Jian Minggang allowed the two divisions to quickly regain their strength.

Now that the first or fifth division of the county guard is sending troops to kill it, Wu Guanlin is worried that he will not be able to do it.

Wu Guanlin's worries were not superfluous, when their Sixth Division attacked Fengyan Town before, more than 5,000 people plus 24 artillery pieces attacked basically without a city defense system, and there were few artillery pieces, and the defense troops of the Third Division, which had a strength of just over 1,000 people, were extremely difficult.

In the end, if it weren't for Lin Ziran's ruthlessness, through a large-scale summary execution of deserters, suppressing the tide of the troops' fear of war, it is estimated that he may not be able to take it down by now.

When Wu Guanlin was worried, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Ziran again, only to see that Lin Ziran's face was still calm, and his fingers were still tapping on the table slowly and rhythmically.

Although he was still worried, he couldn't help but say nothing.

However, several other people were more calm, and Xu Zhongshu just looked flat.

Different from Wu Guanlin's pessimism, Lin Ziran, who was sitting at the top, did not think that the county guard had the courage to kill him directly, even if he saw the army of three thousand county guards now, he still didn't think so.

Because there are more enemies in Jianminggang, except for him Lin Ziran, almost everyone around is the enemy of Jianminggang, including Li Dingjun's second division, Zhao Song's fourth division, Feng Haozhong's third division, and even Li Kun Guang'an's second army, which is now joining forces with the county guard, can also be regarded as the enemy of Jianminggang.

Unfortunately, Jian Minggang is the most powerful of these feudal towns, and many words such as guns shoot the first bird, the weak huddle, cold lips and teeth die, etc., can be explained, it is estimated that no one wants to see Jian Minggang further expand his power.

Because Lin Ziran himself did not want to see Jian Minggang annex Lingchang or the two southern counties.

The others are not stupid, they are also not willing to see Jian Minggang kill Lin Ziran, and then accept the six towns in the east of Lingchang and Lianguan County, and accept the remnants of the entire Sixth Division.

This means that Jian Minggang's strength will be further greatly improved, and it is entirely possible to bear the siege of several other families in the future, and directly clean up Li Dingjun and Zhao Song, Li Kun, Feng Haozhong and others one by one.

Therefore, Lin Ziran didn't think that Jian Minggang had the courage to directly send an absolute main force of tens of thousands of people to attack him, he really wanted to do this, when the army of 10,000 or 20,000 people in the county guard and Lin Ziran's sixth division started a war, and there were 10,000 or 20,000 people in Pingdan County who fought with Feng Haozhong.

Lin Ziran didn't believe that Li Dingjun and Zhao Song could resist not sending troops, and it was estimated that Li Kun would be able to turn back and join forces with Feng Haozhong in an instant......

When the time comes, it is estimated that it will become the five major feudal towns besieging Jianminggang in an instant!

Don't think that these feudal towns are allies or enemies, for their own interests, joining forces today and rebelling tomorrow are as common for them as eating and drinking.

In less than a year, there have been several such performances in Luo'an County.

Last year's Luohai County Commander Shao Bing was so high-spirited, taking advantage of the civil strife in Luo'an, he led an army of 30,000 or 40,000 and recruited Li Dingjun to go north together.

As a result, the Luo'an feudal towns, which were still opposed to each other before, instantly united to clean him up, and Li Dingjun among them was still the kind that directly gave him a fatal blow before the battle.

In the end, Shao Bing could only flee back to Luohai County in disgrace.

Shao Bing, a typical negative textbook, is impossible not to see in Jianminggang!
