Say goodbye to the military households who were originally in Jingbian Fort. The military household on this side of Jingbian Fort. It was the eastern wall of the old fort of Shunxiang defended by Zhong Tiaoyang.

Seeing Wang Dou, Qi Tianliang and Tao hurriedly greeted him, and Wang Dou smiled and said: "Brother Qi, surnamed Qi, are you still living well in the castle?"

Seeing that Wang Dou was so affectionate to them in front of everyone, the two of them both felt that their faces were bright, and Qi Tianliang said repeatedly: "Okay, Lord Lin has arranged it very well, the brothers in the castle have a place to live, and they also have hot soup and hot water to drink, we are all very satisfied." ”

Then he had tears in his eyes again: "It's a pity that Jingbian Fort was burned, and that was all your hard work," this godson

Wang Dou also looked gloomy: "As long as there are people, the fort is burned, and there is still a day to rebuild." ”

Seeing that Wang Dou was sad and sad, Qi Tianliang and his wife comforted Wang Dou in turn, and they both said: "Don't worry, no matter how many people come to the shoes, we will follow the adult's side, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, as long as the adult commands."

Everyone in Jingbian Fort next to him said: "Yes, yes." Follow the adults to fight the light child, and never frown. ”

Wang Dou made a deep one; Yi: "There are all the brothers of Lao." ”

Wang Dou walked all the way towards the street, passing through the street. They were all densely packed with people, and after moving into the military households of the three forts, there was no gap in the Shunxiang Fort, and even every household in the fort was also arranged to enter a large number of households. It can be seen. The soldiers of Sanbao are all high-spirited, although their homes were burned, everyone is the same enemy. Arousing the same heart, they are led by their respective team leaders. They are all nervously busy, and there is an atmosphere of preparation in Shunxiang Fort. Everyone he met, after seeing Wang Dou, all saluted him respectfully, and their eyes were full of expectation. 5,000 light soldiers, it's scary to think about. They were all frightened and helpless, but fortunately there was a king. I can only hope that the adults will lead them to win.

Wang Dou smiled and nodded all the way, giving everyone confidence. His surface is very calm, I can't see the pressure and tension in his heart at all, seeing his smile, the soldiers and civilians I met along the way have unconsciously relaxed a lot in their hearts, and they have more strength to work.

At this time, following him was Han Zhong. A group of people are Zhuang Ding of Xinzhuang, and most of them recognized by Wang Dou are the domestic slaves of the Li family in Zhuang.

Although the group of Zhuang Ding scolded fiercely, they did not dare to approach Xu Yue'e, and at the same time looked at her with surprised and frightened eyes. At their feet, there were a few villagers lying on the ground moaning and crying in pain. Opposite them, Xu Yue'e was dressed in armor. She stood silent, spear in hand, and just looked at the group across from her with contempt.

Seeing Wang Dou asking, the military household next to him was busy talking about it, it turned out that these Zhuang Ding were only transferred to Shunxiang Fort at noon, and after they entered the fort, they met Xu Yue'e and others on the street, so they stepped forward with a smile and made fun of them, but they didn't expect to be beaten by Xu Yue'e for a while, so there was this conflict.

As for Xu Yue, she was originally fine in the fort, but this morning, she led the women who had practiced guns and sticks in Jingbian Fort before, and they found Wang Dou together, hoping to go into battle too

Enemy.

Xu Yue'e's spearmanship Wang Dou also saw it, and now he is employing people like Xu Yue. Naturally, he will not let it go, considering the difference between men and women. He organized Xu Yue'e as an auxiliary soldier, and he was assigned to the auxiliary team at Zhong Tiaoyang's outpost, and when the war was urgent, he could assist the soldiers to defend the battle together.

Zhong Tiaoyang also knew Xu Yue'e's skills, and specially transferred a pair of leather armor to her.

Now that the war has not yet come, Xu Yue'e also carried the rolling wood and stones on the wall with those women. I didn't expect to meet the new villagers in Xinzhuang on the street, and they all knew Xu Yue'e's past. Seeing that her image had changed so much, and she was also wearing armor, she couldn't help but laugh coldly.

They were about to leave after laughing and laughing, but they didn't expect Xu Yue'e to say a word, turned the gun door horizontally, and stabbed him in the lower abdomen of the person he was making fun of, making him feel so painful that he was in Ditian Zhilin, and the other Zhuang Ding was shocked when he saw it, and pounced on the first few people. was also knocked to the ground by her one by one, and no one dared to move. Just stood on the opposite side and scolded.

Wang Dou looked at this group of Zhuang Ding coldly, most of them were Li slaves of the Li family in the village, when Wang Dou was in Xinzhuang before, he was ridiculed and despised by them, and he did not have a good impression of these people, but he didn't expect these people to make trouble as soon as they entered the fort.

Xu Yue'e also saw him, turned her eyes away, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

This Li Jichen is still wearing a square scarf on his head, and he is wearing a jade-colored thick shirt with wide sleeves. Without changing the majesty of his expression, he stepped forward and saluted Wang Dou.

Wang Dou arched his hand and smiled: "It turned out to be Li Shibo." It is really rude to come to the fort and not yet propose. Does Sebo have a resting place in the fort, why don't you go and rest in the house? ”

Li Jichen said: "The old man also has some friends in the castle, so he doesn't bother with his nephew." ”

Wang Dou smiled: "That's it." ”

His face straightened and he said, "The enemy is now." He also asked Shibo to take care of these minions under his command, otherwise he would have violated military law, but the law was ruthless.

After speaking, he greeted Jiang An again. Surrounded by the guards, he walked away.

Li Jichen looked at Wang Dou's back thoughtfully. Only the house slaves beside him turned pale.

At this time, Lin Daofu hurriedly arrived, and he shouted to those Zhuang Ding: "Be bold, if you dare to make trouble in the fort, you will immediately dig me out of the fort." ”

Wang Dou returned to the Qianhu official hall and saw his wife and mother, Xie Xiuniang's stomach was already bulging. Calculated that her labor period is still a few days, but a few days ago, perhaps it was disturbed by artillery fire, and her fetal gas was a little unstable, so Wang Dou instructed the midwife to observe closely.

Zhong Ran saw Wang Dou and said worriedly: "Dou'er, the godson is coming again, can this city be defended?" ”

Wang Dou comforted her and said, "Mother, it's okay, you can rest assured." ”

His heart swelled with pride: "No matter what. For the sake of his wife and mother, he will do his best to defend the city. Protect their safety with their own lives. ”

On the 16th day of July in the ninth year of Chongzhen, early in the morning ().

When all the defenses were prepared in Shunxiang Fort and ready for battle, there was wolf smoke all over Baoan Prefecture. A large number of Qing troops. It has poured into the territory of the state.

Although the beacon fire of the fire pier can convey a certain message, it is not as detailed as the report of the scout cavalry that does not collect at night. Fortunately, yesterday, Wang Douji did not receive the news that the Qing army was coming, and although Xu Zucheng, the conduct officer, was stunned, he still urgently ordered his subordinates to do a good job of defense.

When the Qing soldiers entered the border of Baoanzhou, it was already a situation of strict defense.

The Qing soldiers rode on foot, and they came in a mighty way. The overwhelming white inlaid red flag.

They were knighted sentinels to open the way, followed by large groups of cavalry and infantry, then heavy columns, and finally elite cavalry.

In the middle of the Qing army, there were also a large number of Mongol troops. All of their armoured warriors were cavalry, and each of them wore either willow leaf armor or rope circle armor. Wearing a red tasseled hat or flap helmet, each cavalryman, each cavalry, holding a black tasseled flag, each armor soldier, is a small black tasseled flag on the back of the chief. All their infantry were unarmoured, but wore red tasseled hats on their heads, with or without horses.

In their marching procession, a huge gold-weaving dragon stood out stupidly, around this dragon element. The densely guarded were all elite Baibaya soldiers and Graksha soldiers.

The marching route of the Qing army, go straight to Shunxiang Fort!

By the end of the day, they had arrived outside Dongjiazhuang Fort.

Looking at the still burning Dongjiazhuang Fort. The Qing soldiers showed a look of surprise in their eyes, and they had already learned from the sentry that not only the Ming military fort in front of them, but also two large forts on the left and right. They were all burned by a fire from the Ming people.

One came out under the golden dragon cockroach. Voice: "What a ruthless heart, such a spicy method, if this person is not used by my Qing Dynasty, he will be removed!" ”
