Ming politicians

() The two armies of the rogue bandits gathered at a distance of more than twenty li, which really helped the Jiangning battalion.

There is no city wall in Fengyang. It is impossible to completely block the news. Once the Jiangning camp is dispatched, there will definitely be bandits who will desperately run out to deliver the letter. It is not worthwhile to try to block it. It is better to prepare Let's fight the ambush this time to prevent the reinforcements from the rogues.

Building a defensive position is the most important step. When the Jiangning camp was waiting in the valley, everyone felled a tree. Many people didn't understand the meaning. Now, these trees came in handy.

For the temporary defensive position, a "wooden wall" was built, with a height of more than [-] centimeters and a length of about one mile. However, such a wooden wall is too weak, and there is no way to do it.

The Shenji Battalion is arranged behind the wooden wall.

Almost all belongings are brought.

1500 shotguns, 500 kidnapper guns, 200 three-eyed guns, [-] Franglers, and [-] tiger crouching guns.

The only ones left in the barracks were ten general cannons and five red cannons.

The General Cannon and the Red Clothes Cannon are too heavy, and it is very inconvenient to transport them. These cannons are mainly used to defend or siege the city. They are not very useful in field battles.

All these equipments were actually half of what was found from Kuang Siming's home and distributed to the two camps in Nanjing. Later, Su Tiancheng thought of many ways to buy some back, and to bring back some, and equipped them all for the Shenji camp.

Secretly, Su Tiancheng also thought about strengthening the construction of the Shenji Battalion. After all, thermal weapons are of great effect, but within a short period of time, he gave up such an idea. In this era, weapons are not very advanced, and they need Consuming a lot of money is unbearable for most people, such as the famous red-clothed cannon.It is actually a solid cannon, not the kind of flowering in later generations, relatively speaking, its lethality is much smaller.

The most important thing is that Su Tiancheng's official position is not high enough.Produce and research weapons.The imperial court strictly controlled it. If one wanted to give birth secretly, one would be courting death, and the charge of treason would be confirmed.

For these reasons.For a long time, Su Tiancheng secretly asked Song Sijun to help buy a large amount of medicine.

Relying on the court to provide medicine is also a frustrating thing, and it is exploited level by level.Too much money was spent.

Under such circumstances, it is better to wait for the imperial court to develop good weapons. The Jiangning battalion can quickly equip and use them, which can save a lot of money, and there is no need to worry about it.

Su Tiancheng regretted it very much. Before Nai traveled through time, he was not familiar with all kinds of weapons at all. It would be a joke to figure out what to do.

Twenty Francophones and twenty Tiger Crouching Cannons.They lined up at a certain distance, and all the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion also lined up one by one, forming a total of three rows, when the bandits attacked.The soldiers in the first row shoot, the soldiers in the second row prepare, and the soldiers in the third row load the explosives.

Such a training method.It has been experienced thousands of times, and the soldiers have long been familiar with it.

Sadly all guns.They were all matchlocks. Fortunately, today's weather is good and the sun is shining. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for the Shenji Battalion to be effective.

The sergeants of the second battalion of the infantry battalion stood behind the soldiers of the Shenji battalion. If the distance between the bandits and the wooden wall was less than 20 meters, the Shenji battalion would stop shooting and the infantry battalion would go into battle to kill the enemy.

After all, it was the twenty Francophones and the twenty Tiger Crouching Cannons that played an important role.

Half an hour passed, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing from behind, followed by the sound of drums. These did not affect many soldiers, and everyone concentrated their energy to deal with the bandits who were about to be reinforced.

At this time, thousands of sergeants from the Left Guard Division of the Central Capital were brought over.

The sergeant who led the team reported to Su Tiancheng that the results ahead were very good and the progress was going well. These sergeants were all sergeants from the Left Guard Division of the Central Capital, and they were brought here specially to wait for Sir Su's dispatch.

Looking at the sergeants of the Left Guard Division who were still in shock, Su Tiancheng shook his head secretly. These people can't play a decisive role. If they can't hold on, they can charge forward and make their momentum. These apes are all defeated by the rogues. Sergeants, if there is no strong stimulation, they will not be able to display their murderous aura.

A fat officer walked up to Su Tiancheng, and beside him were a few sergeants, who looked a bit tough.

"The official is Zhu Guoxiang who stayed behind in the Central Capital."

"Official Jiangning county magistrate, Jiangning battalion supervisor Su Tiancheng."

"It turned out to be Mr. Su. This time, the Jiangning camp has made great achievements, and the officials must report to the court."

Seeing Zhu Guoxiang's arrogance, Su Tiancheng felt pain in his heart. The officers and troops left behind in the Central Capital had already been completely defeated. If they followed the course of history, they would have been completely annihilated. Now, the Jiangning Battalion has saved them , Saving Fengyang, the capital of Zhongdu, this Zhu Guoxiang still speaks a little condescendingly, and the scar is so good that he forgets the pain.

Left in Zhongdu is the third-rank rank, and he is the sixth-rank magistrate of Gyeonggi. Therefore, Zhu Guoxiang, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, puts on airs unnaturally.

"Thank you, my lord. There are more than [-] rogues in front of us. The Jiangning battalion needs to stop them with all our strength. We are not out of danger yet. Your lord should avoid it for a while. The fight later will be very tragic."

There was a tinge of red on Zhu Guoxiang's plump face.

"Lord Su, the Central Capital is an important place, how can you allow the bandits to harass you? From the official point of view, it is better to take the initiative to attack here. If there is a problem, the imperial city and the imperial tomb will be behind. You and I can't explain it. "

Probably the sergeant of the Left Guard Division suffered a terrible defeat. Zhu Guoxiang's words were no longer so domineering, but the meaning of the order was revealed in the middle of his tone.

Su Tiancheng was a little annoyed, the big battle was imminent, if he was not careful, the two groups of rogues joined together, there must be big trouble, although the rogues behind did not have much fighting power, there were so many of them, tens of thousands of people stood in place, waiting It will take a long time to kill you, not to mention that when people see hope, they still have to work hard.

You, Zhu Guoxiang, suffered a disastrous defeat, you should be honest and stay on the sidelines, but you have the nerve to come out and point fingers.

Su Tiancheng knew that he couldn't be polite. At this time, he didn't have time to argue.

"My lord, there are only 4000 under my command, and there are more than 5 rogues who are about to come. The Jiangning camp does not have such courage. 4000 people will take the initiative to fight 5 people. If your lord has such an aura, you might as well stay behind." The officers and men of the division, go to fight and kill, and the subordinate officials must do a good job."

Zhu Guoxiang's face turned red and white, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing such a situation, Su Tiancheng spoke again.

"My lord, if the soldiers left behind are still able to fight, I'm afraid they have to obey the unified command of the subordinates. Sergeants who are seriously injured should find places to hide by themselves. The attack of the rogues must be crazy. The rogues who attacked just now are from the Chinese army. , are their elites, a total of 3 people, the leader of the rogues, will never sit back and watch the elite perish, and will definitely launch an attack regardless of everything, either to defeat us, or to support the Chinese army to escape. The soldiers here must Stop the rogues at all costs, don't let a rogue go, and when the fight starts, the lower officials may not be able to take care of the wounded soldiers."

After hearing these words, Zhu Guoxiang's complexion changed again. 4000 people blocked 5 people to prevent the rogues from advancing. Such a task is almost like suicide. Unexpectedly, Su Tiancheng dared to make such an arrangement, and Jiang Ningying also dared to directly face.

According to it, Zhu Guoxiang wanted to find a place to hide, but he couldn't hide, the central capital fell, and he stayed behind in the central capital, so he didn't want to survive, and even his family would suffer. For the present plan, he could only be Follow the Jiangning battalion, fight together, and block the bandits desperately.

He has seen the fighting power of the Jiangning Battalion. The seemingly vicious rogues are invincible when fighting with the soldiers of the left-behind division, but in front of the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion, they appear to be vulnerable. It was blown out, and he fought with the Jiangning battalion and defeated the rogues, which can be regarded as making up for it.

Having figured out these reasons, Zhu Guoxiang will not continue to put on airs.

"Lord Su, please don't say that. They are all troops of the imperial court. In such a critical moment, how could the officials retreat to avoid them? The officers and soldiers of the left-behind division will not retreat either. The officer immediately issued an order to all the soldiers of the left-behind division to obey Mr. Su's orders."

Su Tiancheng nodded, but did not speak. It seems that Zhu Guoxiang is still a smart person, no wonder he was able to sit in the left-behind position in the Central Capital.

The officers behind Zhu Guoxiang immediately went to convey the order.

In a few minutes, all the sergeants of the left-behind division stood up, holding steel knives in their hands.

Su Tiancheng walked in front of these soldiers with a stern expression.

"Brothers, there are [-] bandits on the opposite side of us, and they are about to attack. Our task is to stick here firmly and not allow them to move forward. No matter how much sacrifice we make, even if we are all dead. , is also worth it, the more time we gain, the greater the blow the rogues will suffer, the rogues around the Drum Tower are their elite, as long as we annihilate the rogues in the Drum Tower, victory will be ours, Jiangning Battalion's request, the military order If the mountain falls, you must obey the military order, and when you launch an attack, you are not allowed to retreat or surrender, if anyone retreats or surrenders, you are a bandit, and the Jiangning battalion will kill you mercilessly."

Thousands of people screamed.

"You are soldiers of the imperial court. Facing the rogues, you should have the belief that you will win. No matter what you have encountered before, you have come here to start again. Alright, your specific tasks will be directly arranged by Mr. Qu."

A few minutes later, Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze finished their discussions.

The sergeants of the left-behind division followed behind the second battalion of the infantry battalion. These sergeants obviously couldn't charge at the forefront and had already suffered heavy injuries. If they charged ahead, it would definitely affect their morale. Driven by the battalion soldiers, it can still play some role.
