After arranging here, Shi Jin and Zhou Zhong crossed the bridge with a team of cavalry that had just been trained not long ago. In the past, the scouts of the Rock Fort infantry army had always been Dong Ce's family team, but after Dong Ce left, Shi Jin and the others had to train the scouts by themselves, and these scouts belonged to the Rock Fort infantry army. Of course, all this was allowed by Dong Ce, otherwise they would not dare to use those war horses without permission.

In the distance, you can already see the smoke rising, and I don't know how many people are rushing this way.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a scout on horseback galloped towards this side, and when he came closer, he didn't care about saluting, and shouted: "Lord Shi, Lord Zhou, the thieves of the White Lotus Sect are still seven miles away from here, and they can arrive in half an hour at the latest." ”

Shi Jin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Explore again!" ”

"Yes!"

The scout took the order and rode away.

One by one, the scouts kept coming back to restore their lives, and the White Lotus Sect thieves were getting closer and closer to the Rock Castle, and soon they were only a few miles away.

In fact, the location where the White Lotus Sect had entrenched before was not far from the Rock Fort, that is, less than twenty miles, and it wouldn't take long to reach it. This is still the slow march of the big team, if it were its own, it would have been there a long time ago.

At this time, Shi Jin stood on horseback, and he could almost see the appearance of the White Lotus Sect's big team.

His eyes shrank slightly, a large area of black pressure from the White Lotus Sect was almost endless, I don't know how far it stretched, it seemed that there were at least more than four thousand people!

Shi Jin and Zhou Zhong glanced at each other, and they both saw horror in each other's eyes.

No matter what the enemy's combat strength is, at least this number is very deterrent, more than three or four times that of his own side!

At this time, in the White Lotus Sect Array, Lord Sun Xiang was standing on top of a carriage, holding on to the railing in front of him, looking at the Rock Fort in the distance, his eyes were full of greed that could not be hidden.

Although the figures estimated by Shi Jin and the others were not extremely 'precise', they were almost the same, this time, the White Lotus Sect attacked the Rock Fort, and the troops used were more than 4,300 people in total.

Of course, the word 'force' is a bit inappropriate to describe them.

These people are not so much soldiers as homeless people, and it is more accurate to describe them as the latter.

These more than 4,300 White Lotus Sect disciples are all in rags, although they can't say that they are yellow and thin, but they are also 'colorful' and have thin bodies. The origins of these White Lotus Sect members are very complicated, and most of them are ordinary people from the surrounding villages and towns. Their village or town was broken by the White Lotus Sect, and everyone, rich or poor, was plundered of their wealth, they had nothing, but after joining the White Lotus Sect, they had food and clothing, so basically the whole family joined the sect. And there are a small number of displaced people, these displaced people from all over the country heard the news of the White Lotus Sect uprising here, and many people rushed over, of course, their motivation came from the words released by the White Lotus Sect - as long as they join the sect, they can eat enough.

During this period of time, the reason why the White Lotus Sect has been able to grow so dramatically is also thanks to this slogan. Of course, when these people came, they found that the slogan was not accurate, and they couldn't eat enough at all, but they were already very satisfied if they could eat three or five percent a day and not starve to death.

In the team, a small number of people were numb, and they were in the team, mechanically following the people in front of them. And most of them, their expressions were very 'excited', looking at the tall silhouette of the rock castle that appeared in the distance, and there was a greedy 'color' in their eyes. They had been told before they came, that the Rock Fort was rich and that they had everything they wanted, gold, silver, jewelry, food, clothing, everything. In addition, after you conquer the Rock Fort, you can eat three meals in a row, and it is said that you can even eat 'meat'!

God, most of them haven't eaten 'meat' for I don't know how long.

Among the more than 4,300 members of the White Lotus Sect, there were about 1,000 people holding weapons, and these were the first to follow Sun Xiang's uprising. For the others, there are all kinds of weapons in their hands, including hoes, shovels, nail rakes, and even wooden sticks, and there are quite a few of them.

There is no way, with the 'surge' increase in the number of people in the White Lotus Sect, the batch of weapons in the hands of Lord Sun Xiang has already been distributed, and the weapons behind have not yet kept up with the supply. I want the support of the top level of the White Lotus Sect, I don't know how long it will take, and Lord Sun Xiang doesn't expect it. There are still a few blacksmith shops in the town he occupies, and they are now working day and night to build weapons, but relying on those few shops, that little manpower can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, Lord Sun Xiang's desire to lay down the Rock Fort became a little more eager. For he had heard that in the Rock Fort there was a huge arsenal of all kinds of weapons piled up in it, and there was everything, not only waist swords and spears, but even bows and arrows.

And the long-range weapon of the bow and arrow is what the current Sun Xiang Lord needs the most.

He believed that as long as he had enough bows and arrows, he could greatly improve the combat effectiveness of his army.

Of course, that's a good idea, but the problem is that he has to take the Rock Castle down first.

The White Lotus Sect's team seems to be moving in a chaotic manner, but in fact it is not completely disorganized. In fact, all the people who joined the White Lotus Sect were divided into teams as soon as they joined the sect, and they would be assigned to a designated team officer, and this team officer was usually the group of people who first followed Sun Xiang.

A team of 50 people has one officer in charge and one officer in charge of the team. Above the team officer is the general officer, one is in charge of the general and the other is in charge, and the other is under the jurisdiction of five teams, counting the team officer and the team officer, a total of more than 260 people.

And the general manager is directly the master of Sun Xiang, and he is directly in charge of these generals.

Now there are sixteen commanders under his hands.

This system is completely no different from that of the Ming army, and it is naturally learned by Sun Xiangzhu from the Ming army. It's not that Lord Sun Xiang doesn't want to set up a system by himself, in fact, he is also ambitious to establish such a system, and he also thinks of a lot of strange words, but it turns out that the people under his hands can't accept it at all, and they can't even remember the title. On the contrary, it is the Ming army, these generations have lived in the border town of Datong, and people who have come into contact with the military and even are from military families are very familiar.

Lord Sun Xiang had no choice but to follow the Ming army's set.

Before leaving, Sun Xiangzhu arranged the positions of the sixteen generals, and the width of the entire forward formation was two totals, and the length was eight totals, which were connected from end to end. But Rao is so, and the cross-section is also very large, and it looks very magnificent.

The carriage in which Lord Sun Xiang rode was not a traditional one, but a modified one. The carriage had no carriage, and around the board was a circle of wooden railings, on which Lord Sun Xiang stood and held on the railing, and the carriage drove with a strong wind. He was full of ambition and looked around.

He saw the Rock Fort, and even more so the endless golden 'colored' wheat fields outside the Rock Castle.

The discovery even made his breathing heavier.

With such a vast wheat field, how much grain must be beaten down!

It is worthy of being known for its affluence, and it has everything you need.

There is food, there is a huge arsenal - the former is fundamental, the latter is urgently needed now.

"I heard that Rock Fort has been recruiting blacksmiths for a long time, and it has recruited a hundred and ten people, hey, when I get to the Rock Fort, these are all mine!"

Sun Xiangzhu thought, almost wanting to laugh out loud proudly.
