Yandun and Shiqiao are Tian Qiming, the officer of the C General A team under Han Zhong.

Sure enough, Tian Changguo was not disappointed, and now, the three subordinates of President Qian Han Zhong are in general, Zhong Xiancai, Yang Tong, and Tian Zhijue. Tian Zhijue is one of them, leading a total of several hundred troops, although most of them are newly trained new troops last year, but these sergeants in the general can be said to be stronger than their own family members in previous years, and their sons and nephews have a bright future.

Tian Changguo was greatly relieved, and secretly rejoiced that his choice back then was not wrong.

After the training of the new army, Tian Qiming made a lot of meritorious contributions in a series of anti-bandit operations, and was recommended by Tian Zhijue as the officer in charge of the team.

In the defense of Yandun and Shiqiao, Tian Qiming discussed with Huang Wei, who suggested that among the six soldiers in a team, the four soldiers were arranged behind the bridgehead, one of which was a sword and shield soldier, three fire and prosper soldiers, and the remaining two fire mirror soldiers were arranged on the fire road pier.

On the side of the bridge, several wheelbarrows were blocked, and the chariots stood on their sides, and on the side of the bridge were inserted protective hardwood signs, which were enough to resist the sharp arrows fired by the Qing soldiers. In front of the chariot and on the other side of the bridge, there were still scattered iron thistles, sharp spikes pointing upwards, shining with a penetrating cold light. The terrain on the side of the stone bridge and the pier, from the left side to the canal, is a little on both sides, and it is not easy to pass through 100 million

Although the right side is gentle, the river is dry and easy to pass, but behind him is ten zhang away is the fire road pier, the fire power is all over the surrounding 100 steps, if the Qing soldiers dare to come from that side, the two fire commanders on the fire road pier will make those bold and reckless Le soldiers unable to eat and walk.

Huang Wei used to be the captain of the old army, and participated in the vicious battle against the shoe soldiers, and as Tian Qiming's position as an officer in charge of the team, he should also pay attention to Huang Wei's opinion. Besides, he couldn't find fault with such an arrangement. This kind of protection can maximize the power of the Shunxiang Armament, and Tian Qiming readily agreed at the moment.

After arriving at Yandun yesterday, the two worked together, Tian Qiming led the four soldiers to guard the bridge, and Huang Wei, the deputy of the team, led the two soldiers to guard the fire pier, and they also cooperated happily.

Yesterday day was fine, early this morning. Tian Qiming got up from the fire pier in high spirits, and with the assistance of several guards, he put on his iron armor, put a small wool hat on his head, and then put on an iron helmet, with the inner hat, the cold chill on his head was greatly reduced.

Tian Qiming was secretly disappointed in his heart, thinking: "Why haven't the godson soldiers come yet?" ”

When Tian Qiming was training in the new army, he heard too many veterans boasting about their battles with the Qing soldiers, and he couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart, he had fought with horse thieves and bandits many times, and he didn't know what the situation was like fighting with several soldiers, and he was eager to confirm his strength. Not to mention that Wang Dou's army has the most military merits in fighting against the Qing soldiers.

He said a few words to Huang Wei, and then led a few guards out of the pier gate.

The pier gate of Yandun is located on the west side, next to the official road. From the official road to the stone bridge, the four armor sergeants guarding the stone bridge are densely packed here, they are either chatting, or looking, or around a few fires on the side of the road. The crackling of the collected dead leaves and branches in the fire also expelled some of the chill.

In addition to the sword and shield soldiers of the first class, the fire commanders of the third class, while chatting, are also carefully caring for their beloved fire commanders, wiping the black and thick body with a soft cloth. Or they wrapped the cane in a muslin cloth for the cleaning of the chamber.

Wang Dou's current fire is sharp, and there is a fire door device that can be automatically opened and closed in the powder pool, and he can also fight in cold weather like this. The use of granular gunpowder, within a hundred steps, can kill all the Qing soldiers who are not wearing armor or wearing a layer of armor, within 70 steps, can break the multiple layers of heavy armor on their bodies, if not to connect a long fire rope that gets in the way, it is really a very perfect firearm.

Seeing Tian Qiming striding over, all the sergeants at the bridgehead got up and saluted Tian Qiming, Tian Qiming looked at his subordinates with satisfaction, these fire commanders, all with eight-petal hats and iron-pointed helmets, were also wearing red cotton wool coats and cuirasses. There is also a waist knife pinned to the belt around the waist.

Because of their good nutrition and strict training, they are all stout, and after many battles against bandits, they are already qualified elite sergeants. If you experience a few more fierce battles with the Qing soldiers, you must have a earth-shaking change in temperament.

He patted the shoulders of the sergeants in front of him affectionately, a gesture he had also learned from the guerrilla generals. ”

Tian Qiming and the others jumped up suddenly, and looked into the distance, and sure enough, they saw a large cloud of smoke and dust rolling towards the other side of the wilderness. This large cloud of smoke and dust, only the fast gallop of the Qing army and a large number of cavalry would raise such smoke.

Tian Qiming said sharply: "Be on guard, prepare for battle."

His heart was boiling, and he felt that the blood in his whole body was hot, and he finally waited for this day.

The fourth-class sergeants at the bridgehead urgently assembled, and the third-class fire commanders lined up in the chariots in the cold wind, and the first-class sword and shield soldiers guarded the right side of the bridgehead to prevent the Qing soldiers from coming from the riverbank. At the same time, there were also warning signals on the Yandun, and it was obvious that they saw the arrival of the Qing soldiers.

Tian Qiming heard the shouting order of Huang Wei, the deputy of the team, and put the two fire mirror soldiers on the fire pier on alert, and there was a snap, and a cloud of smoke came out of the fire road pier, but it was the deputy Huang Wei of the team who sounded his hand and warned the village fort behind him, and then the sound of the snapping hand commander continued, and the sergeant of the road along the way transmitted this alarm all the way back to the village fort.

The cloud of smoke and dust was getting closer and closer, and finally, Tian Qiming saw a big red flag with white trim appear in front of him, and then a large red and white flag followed, hunting and flying in the cold wind. Under the dense banners, there were knights in red armor with white trim, and fiery red helmets fluttering on the top of the black pointed helmets.

"The army of shoes and red flags

A fire commander called out.

"Brothers, hold down!"

Brother Tian Qiming shouted.

He heard the sound of the soldiers' hooves getting louder and louder, as if the earth was shaking under the blow of the iron hooves, his heart beat violently a few times, and he cursed secretly: "Damn, these soldiers are really different from the mountain bandits and horse thieves."

He looked around left and right, fortunately, although the sergeants were surprised, and many of them couldn't help but let out heavy panting, their expressions were quite calm. As large as a team of 50 people, the officers are still called to be allocated to the Shiku, and the ten people are called the chiefs, called Zhuangda.

There are up to 300 armor soldiers on the opposite side, and the rest are auxiliary soldiers, it is estimated that there is one auxiliary soldier in one step armor, and two auxiliary soldiers in one vest, and some of the auxiliary soldiers are obviously wearing the flag Yu Ding who is not inlaid with iron leaf cotton armor.

There are even some slaves of various soldiers, aha and coating, who are just used as miscellaneous servants and cannon fodder, and they have no combat effectiveness at all and can be ignored.

Thinking about this, Tian Qiming's heart settled down, he had a team of more than 70 soldiers, all of them were soldiers, one against three, there were bridgeheads, chariot obstacles, and sharp fire systems, so I would give these Lezi a little color today.

He also looked at the cavalry of the Qing army on the opposite side with some surprise, not to mention that those armored soldiers all had horses, and even the miscellaneous soldiers behind them also had horses, these lemen were very rich. On the village fort, Wang Dou also watched the movement on the other side of the bridge.

Wen Fangliang said: "General, there is news from the Huoludun that hundreds of godson cavalry are coming, do you want to send some reinforcements?" ”

Wang Dou shook his head and said: "There are only a few hundred slaves to ride, don't care, presumably the soldiers guarding the bridge and pier can deal with it."

Han Zhong stood next to Wang Dou and thought so.

Wang Dou instructed Li Guangheng beside him: "General Li, you prepare, when those slave cavalry who attacked the stone bridge are defeated and retreat, you will immediately lead the knights under your command and ride their horses in pursuit."

Li Huangheng was overjoyed and led his way away.
