Originally, there were more than 4,000 people in the barracks, and after the camp was cleared, there were less than 2,000 people left, and everyone was stunned by this big deal, and said that this young master didn't know where he came from, and he didn't buy anyone's face, and those who didn't report to the house were okay, and those who reported the door directly knocked off their legs and sent them out of the camp, and by the way, they sent a sentence from Ruan Ziqiang, go back and tell your father, and if you dare to meddle in the affairs of the army, there will be no forgiveness.

There were more than a thousand people left, and Ruan Ziqiang glanced at their military appearance, and knew that this army was almost in ruins, and everyone was listless, and they couldn't even see a little blood.

This is also something that can't be helped, these are all soldiers brought out by Talansheng, who used to follow the gluttony, then it is Talansheng's uncle, and he can be regarded as his own person, and he can get benefits by working hard. Now that an unknown character has come, he has worked hard for him and laid down the city, he patted his ass and the king will take the credit, who will care if he is left with a large number of deaths and injuries? So it's better not to fight.

Ruan Ziqiang probably guessed their thoughts, so he immediately spoke on the school grounds.

"Let me introduce first, I, Ruan Ziqiang, my father is the old cabinet elder Ruan Qingting in the court. It's not a little bit older than your previous master, Taran, so it's much better to follow me than to follow him, I promise, after this battle, everyone will be promoted to one level! Each person will be rewarded with one penny. I wonder if you're interested in doing it with me? ”

The people below all showed suspicious eyes, looked at Ruan Ziqiang with wide eyes, and said in their hearts that if this eldest young master's words don't count, no one can do anything about it.

Ruan Ziqiang probably also thought of what they were thinking, and as soon as he waved his hand, several guards walked up carrying two wooden boxes, and then opened them to see that they were full of copper coins.

"I brought all this money myself, if you want it, you can do it!"

A cry quickly sounded below: "Kill the thief, kill the thief!" ”

Cheng Xiaolian in the city also heard the call sign and hurriedly beckoned people: "Look what's going on?" ”

After a while, the news of Jinyiwei came back, and a new general was sent from Burma, who expelled all the family members in the camp, leaving only the regular soldiers, and then began to train the soldiers, I am afraid that the city will be attacked in the next two days. There were probably about 2,000 men left in their battalion, and the exact number was not clear.

Cheng Xiaolian snorted: "This Burmese king seems to have finally set his sights on us." ”

Yang Youcai snorted: "Your Highness, don't think too highly of yourself, maybe that general was stupid and offended their king and was beheaded." I had to change someone who could fight. ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at him: "Then aren't we very unlucky, there was still enough time to develop, but now it's okay, we have to fight again soon." ”

"Actually, this is not necessarily a good thing, we urgently need a big victory to prove it like the people left, otherwise they will not be with us, and we will not benefit if we continue to consume, behind them is a whole Myanmar, do we still have the luxury of consuming them to the end of food?"

"Well, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, since the soldiers are coming, then they will block it. In the past few days, I have told the brothers to cheer up, and the other party may steal the city. ”

"Don't worry, there are a lot of Han people in the surrounding villages, and it's easy for us to buy the news."

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Then let's prepare to fight again, I'm a little looking forward to this opponent, I hope it's not a silver-like pewter spearhead." ”

Yang Youcai laughed: "I hope that our opponents are all silver-like pewter spearheads, so we don't know how many fewer people will die." ”

"If they are not strong enough, we will not be able to train a strong army, whether we see Wu Sangui or Kangxi in the future, we will definitely not be opponents."

"That's what Your Highness said."

The next day, the battle started as scheduled, and Ruan Ziqiang didn't say much this time, just put boxes of copper coins at the gate of the camp: "Conquer the city, come and get the money yourself." ”

Everyone looked at the city wall as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and Cheng Xiaolian glanced at the lineup opposite: "Give up the spear formation." ”

Zhai Songjin frowned: "Why?" ”

"This is not the same gang as before, our spears can't hurt them, and it's easy to hurt ourselves."

Cheng Xiaolian knew that the spear array was strong in its indomitable momentum, but now the momentum on the opposite side was very sufficient, if this spear array could not suppress the enemy, it would become a burden to defend the city, and the city wall would only break earlier.

The spear array was proposed by Cheng Xiaolian, and Zhai Songjin naturally had no objections, and asked, "What about the golden juice?" ”

"Of course you have to use the gold juice, this gold juice is a panacea, and it can be used in any battle."

Saying that, he pulled Yang Youcai over: "How are you training these days?" ”

"There are people who train, but we don't have many hand crossbows, and the hand crossbow is very fine, in the past, Jinyiwei had a Nanzhen Mansion Division, specializing in these things, and there is a person around me who can do it, it's too slow."

"Find someone you can trust and give them the skills to do it together."

"That Jinyiwei refused, he said that he would rather let this thing disappear with the ancestor, and he couldn't pass it out, otherwise Jinyiwei's face would be gone?"

"He's stupid, you're stupid? When a person makes a part, he is looking for strangers, and he can't make this thing if he can't learn a full set of skills, and this is not a treasure, so he quickly tells someone to do it. How many hand crossbows are there now? ”

"Less than fifty."

"Today they are attacking a city wall, our pressure is a little less, you tell them to stand on a high place, guarding the bow and arrow points outside the city, and then if there is any particularly fierce person to greet it with a crossbow, remember that it must be a fierce greeting, as long as you kill the fiercest, you can cut off their sharpness."

"Understood."

Cheng Xiaolian stroked the hard bow in his hand: "Today's battle should be regarded as a battle of life and death, we can't win, we will lose completely, it's good to go back to the mountain to be a bandit, if you die here, you will be wronged, so you must be full of spirit." ”

"Understood, we're not going to be careless."

Cheng Xiaolian laughed and shouted loudly at the city: "Brothers, you have defended the city today, and you will eat stewed meat at night, if anyone can't survive at night, Lao Tzu will also burn some bones for you to eat." ”

The head of the city suddenly laughed: "Your Highness, why don't you burn meat?" ”

"! Meat is reserved for the living, and whoever wants to eat meat must live well! ”

A war has begun, Cheng Xiaolian doesn't know what the outcome of this war will be, Ruan Ziqiang on the other side has a relaxed face, he feels that if this battle can't be won, he can go home and farm and never ask about the world, after all, he is the son of Ruan Qingting, and he is the person who will replace Ruan Qingting's position in the future.
