Shan Shiqi laughed: "Tian Bao, how can you rob the food from my farm? Now you can't steal chickens and lose rice, no wonder I'm not."

The village gate opened wide, Chao Gai led his troops out of the village, and Liu Tang and Li Kui led infantry to protect the flanks.

Deng Fei led five hundred musketeers to form a formation in the middle.

Tian Bao ordered a charge, and thousands of infantry charged up like ducks.

Deng Fei shouted loudly at the musket soldiers: "Prepare."

The first row was loaded, and the gun was ready. I was not panicked when I saw the enemy coming up, after all, it was improved compared to before.

After a while, the enemy was approaching.

First row, fire.

Bang bang bang, one hundred and seventy muskets fired together, and the enemy soldiers on the opposite side fell in rows.

Follow the second row and the third row.

Without the next round, Tian Baojun, who was charging forward, turned around and ran away, running faster than rabbits.

These riots were farmers who lost their land and could not survive, and had not experienced any decent training. What's more, they were the muskets they faced, which lost hundreds of people at once, and their fighting will had long collapsed.

Moreover, Tian Bao was even more frightened and didn't understand what weapon this was. He immediately ordered: "Retreat and return to Taiyuan."

Pang Wanchun led his troops to follow him, and a burst of arrows bit Tian Bao's tail and was very savory, constantly eliminating the backward enemy troops.

Fights are always cruel, no matter whether this war is just or injustice.

He kept chasing for five or six miles before returning.

Shan Shiqi was shocked. This time, he truly understood what Chao Gai said about one and ten means. Five hundred fire-breathing soldiers stood there and shot in one round, defeating Tian Bao's army of three or four thousand, and the Tian Bao's army that was hit was either killed or injured.

"Brother, what kind of magic weapon is this? It's so amazing?"

"This is called a musket. It was made on my farm. It is extremely powerful and is really very useful. The farm is safe in the short term, so don't be afraid. Tong Guan's army will arrive in Taiyuan within five or six days. Tian Hu will completely fail by the end of this year."

Shan Shiqi was a little incredible: "Will it be so fast?"

"Tong Guan led 50,000 troops, and there were tens of thousands of Hebei troops, plus a total of 100,000 local government troops. Do you think Tian Hu's army can withstand it?"

Shan Shiqi shook his head: "I can't stop it, but fortunately I'm determined, otherwise I might be done with Tian Hu."

"Tang Bin from Baodu Village is ours, and we are also ours in Jingxing Mountain. Now you can feel at ease. Take this opportunity to organize the village."

"Okay, brother, don't worry. I'll arrange for someone to re-plan the farm and build agricultural tools to reclaim wasteland."

Of course, the first step is to end the rush to harvest food.

The strong men came to ask Shan Shiqi: "Master, your family's food has been collected. What should I do if the villagers' food is next?"

Shan Shiqi waved his hand: "The harvest of the villagers is temporarily suspended, and they will be harvested when it is fully mature. Then everyone can return some of my family appropriately, so don't worry too much."

"OK."

Shan Shiqi arranged manpower to start building agricultural tools, preparing to reclaim wasteland and repair the canals.

Li Kui shouted: "Master of the mountain villa, I Tie Niu see that you are full of strength, so why should you farm at home? It would be better to go out with us to explore."

Shan Shiqi was overjoyed: "I also have this idea, I'm afraid my brother won't agree."

Chao Gai glared at Li Kui: "You're the one who has a lot to do."

Li Kui hid away bored.

Shan Shiqi smiled and said, "Brother, I really have this idea. Why not bring hundreds of soldiers to follow me and start a career together."

"I am naturally very happy that my brother can come. But you have to know that in today's troubled times, many people will die when starting a war. Once they come out, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future."

Shan Shiqi is a rich child and can't spend all his family's money in his lifetime.

But as a warrior, there was fighting blood flowing in his bones, and it was impossible for him to farm peacefully at home.

"In this way, I will select 200 Zhuang soldiers and follow my brother. Although my younger brother does not have my ability, it is still OK to be a owner. In this way, I will follow my brother to make a career. No matter what the result is, I will only seek the loyalty of my brother."

Chao Gai was overjoyed: "Okay, welcome the Shan brothers to join."

Xiao Rang, Liu Tang, Pang Wanchun, Deng Fei, Li Kui, Dazhuang and others came to greet Shan Shiqi.

The mountain men returned the favor one by one, and many capable people emerged in Chao Gai's army.

Xiao Rang was a military genius. Liu Tang, Pu Dao master, Pang Wanchun was unparalleled in arrows, Deng Fei commanded the musket soldiers, Li Kui was bold and meticulous, and Da Zhuang was Chao Gai's personal guard.

If you want to say that Shan Shiqi's subordinates are also well-known, there are still 400 elite soldiers, but they can't take them all with them. They leave 200 cavalry for his younger brother, and he has selected 200 cavalry, which is considered to be officially joining.

Of course, there are cavalry treatments. After returning to Dongping Prefecture, there will be rewards and bonuses.

In the evening, the sentry detectives from Qinzhou came back.

"Reported that Deputy General Zhao and Military Advisor Gongsun have taken over Qinzhou City and are now strengthening the city defense."

"Okay, go back quickly, I'll go and support me."

Chao Gai turned his head and arranged for Shan Shiqi: "Brother, you should lead the troops to defend Zhuangzi. I will lead the main force to go to Qinzhou City to set up defenses. This city is not big, but its location is very important. Tian Hu's army has a large number, so it is not easy to stick to it."

Shan Shiqi said: "Okay, brother, don't worry, I will stick to the village."

At this time, Qinzhou City, Zhao Ling and Gongsun Sheng were recruiting Minzhuang.

Although the county town has suffered heavy population losses, there are still people after all.

More than two thousand people and strong men were recruited to defend the city together.

Minzhuang is untrained and can easily get confused during wars, but it doesn’t matter. It’s mainly to let them carry things, boil golden soup and other auxiliary work.

Although Zhao Ling is a cavalry general, he is also an expert in defending the city and knows a lot.

When Chao Gai came to Qinzhou City, the small county town had been well arranged.

"Chao Tuanlian has worked hard all the way. The last time he fulfilled his mission, he won the county town."

"Thank you for your hard work, how about the casualties?"

"Thanks to Master Gongsun's clever plan, he only lost more than a dozen people and seized the county town."

"Okay, there may be tough battles next. Once the army arrives in Taiyuan, Tian Hu will attack Qinzhou City fiercely."

Chao Gai was not familiar with the city defense of this era, but with talents like Zhao Ling, Gongsun Sheng, Xiao Rang, and Pang Wanchun, he could not use them at all.

I went to the county government to relax.

Li Kui is very good at enjoying it. When he came on the way, he caught a deer and made a barbecue. Everyone ate meat and drank wine, and they were so happy.

Chao Gai thought: "We can't just be idle, it's not right. Let's go out to the streets tomorrow to rescue the victims and comfort the people."
