"how?"

"The engineering camp is only equipped with a short-term force," Chen Dedao. "The labor camp and hard labor are increasing. I am afraid that one day an accident will happen and I will be unable to suppress it, so I will be a rebel in the Wushan Forest."

"Well, are you going to arm the engineering camp?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

"There is this intention." Chen Desheng was afraid that the crown prince would be suspicious and quickly explained: "The engineering battalion actually does not spend much time building roads, quarrying, and transportation. Even if it takes a long time to do it, it will not hinder the progress of the project. Moreover, there are many evil men sent by bandits in the hard labor camp, and people must be sent to supervise it. The engineer thought that as long as the engineering battalion was distributed with rattan armor and shields and using a wooden hammer as a weapon, it can not only suppress the riots, but also not cause a large number of casualties."

Zhu Cixuan also felt that tens of thousands of people were arranged to work forcibly. If there was not enough, problems would be easy to occur. It was still early now, and even if someone connected, it might not be possible, so it would be difficult to say in the future. Moreover, when Bahana and Shi Tingzhu were solved, the western Shandong region would also have to go from Class B to Class A in sequence, and there would inevitably be more local thieves, unlucky people, and evil gentry sent to labor camps.

"Yes." Zhu Cilang nodded and said, "When the battle is over, you will be divided into the seized weapons first. But don't waste it. Since you have obtained the weapons, you still need to practice what you should do."

Chen De grinned: "Then please give it to the staff officer together."

"Well," Zhu Cixuan said generously, "The medical team will also provide you with it."

Chen De was overjoyed and immediately saluted with excitement.

Zhu Cilang's eyes were set on the northeast. Just as he was talking to Chen De just now, a black smoke rising up, which was the wolf smoke that called the police.

Under the mirror of the thousand-mile, the horse's hooves were raised high with dust. The Manchu Iron Cavalry who had been waiting for a long time finally revealed their true appearance.

The pointer on the Taixi Bell pointed steadily at four o'clock. At this time when the sun sets west, the first Dadong Lu whistle cavalry appeared on the horizon in front of him. He stopped in front of an old tree with a crooked neck and looked at the Ming army position in front of him from afar.

On the trunk of the old tree, thick white and red clay were applied, indicating that it was the end point of the effective range of the artillery: one hundred and fifty feet, that is, one mile.

The experienced Donglu scepter cavalry slowly indulged the horses and walked forward, and more cavalry appeared behind him. The Donglu cavalry spread out a not-tidy array, pressed forward to a distance of 96 meters, and stopped the horse stance. This distance is the traditional safe distance of 200 steps, and no weapon can hit such a far distance except artillery.

Liu Si, who arrived at the battlefield in time, took his tank division array in front of the chest wall to protect the rows of tiger squat cannons, confronting more and more Donglu cavalry. Above their heads was an arrow shed built with door panels and bamboo and wood to prevent the enemy's bows and arrows from being shot.

Those who can enter this department are all brave. Even soldiers who are not very brave will be infected by their companions after entering and become bolder.

"Your Highness, don't you have any armor?" Min Ziruo stepped forward and asked. He had already changed into a newly-issued Shanwenjia.

This set of standard Shanwen Armor is more than 30 kilograms, and the herringbone-shaped Armor is densely connected together, which is lighter than ordinary iron scale Armor and has better protection. On Min Ziruo's chest, there is also a round copper heart protection mirror, a copper tiger head on the abdomen, and a arms protection on both shoulders. There are guard feet on the feet and iron arms on the hands. After wearing the whole suit, it becomes a shining iron man.

Since the East Palace launched this Shanwen Armor as a standard equipment for generals and personal guards, even those who prefer leather armor will find it difficult to remain tempted.

Zhu Cixuan doesn't like to stand on the battlefield without reason, it's too heavy and too tired. Moreover, his safety is very guaranteed, and this mountain is wrapped in the back of the position. If the Donglu could already endanger him, it would be that Xiao Mo was defeated and he should have retreated to Dezhou City long ago.

"You still don't want to flag?" You Shiwei was a little impatient.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mo's central army sent a signal of Yingqi. Flags rose up step by step, and the entire position suddenly burst into a masculinity.

The Donglu cavalry in the distance was quite surprised. Jiala Zhangjing, who led the team, was even more surprised. He was a war-produced Donglu warrior. From Daling River to now entering the pass, he had never seen the Ming army dared to line up outside the city. After closer inspection, the equipment and lineup of this Ming army were also very different from the previous Ming army, and there were artillery in front of the formation.

"Master, these Ming troops are a little different!" Jiala Zhangjing's guards rode back and said, "They built a wall, but they couldn't see how many people there were behind the wall. However, there were more than ten artillery exposed."

Jiala Zhangjing frowned and said, "There are all infantry in front of them, and I didn't see where their horse soldiers were. Unfold the team and test it first."

"Yeah!" The guard ran to pass the order.

The Donglu cavalry quickly dispersed to their left and right wings, with about fifty cavalry, as if they were going to surround the Dezhou position.

boom!

A fire broke out from the land, and more than 20 cavalry on the left wing of the Donglu were immediately scattered. The detonated landmines ejected a large amount of soil, stones, iron nails, and armor... Under the push of a large amount of gunpowder, they seized the lives of the surrounding cavalry in a circular shape.

At such a close distance, the armor of the Donglu vest could not stop these sharp projectiles, and it only took the lives of six cavalrymen in one piece.

With the difference in the length and combustion speed of the leads, three or five landmines were detonated, which immediately caused the cavalry on the left to retreat, fearing that they would step on something.

Jiala Zhangjing felt quite painful when he saw his men falling to the ground. He spat: "Cowardly barbarians! Let's go up and scare them."

The guard beside him licked his lips and smiled fiercely: "Slave let them open their eyes."

A team of more than ten cavalry of the Eastern Captains lined up, urging their war horses, rushed towards the Ming army formation. They stopped steadily at eighty steps, and took bows and shot. Generally, the Ming army would fire guns at this time, but in fact, it was difficult for bird guns to penetrate the armored soldiers at eighty steps.

The diffused light arrow is not very lethal. Some of it is blocked by the arrow shed. Even if the other part falls into the formation, it is blocked by iron armor. If it is a group of people diffusing, it may still cause dozens of casualties, but it is meaningless to only have more than ten cavalry.

These cavalry quickly rushed into a distance of fifty steps, which was the effective range of killing for the Ming army's muskets. They knew very well that at this distance, the iron armor on their bodies could not protect them. But they knew even more that the Ming army's muskets did not have a correct head, and they might not be able to hit the cavalry of their evacuated positions.

Two brave Donglu cavalrymen simply turned over and dismounted, changed their stair bows, and shot them flatly.

The Ming army still did not fire the gun.

"They don't have guns, are they?" Jiala Zhangjing was puzzled. He was about to order the guards to come back when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter burst out from the Ming army formation.

Amid the laughter, an Eastern Barbarian Armored soldier fell down and fell to the ground, motionless.

It was the sharpshooter in the Ming army's formation who was shooting at the target.

From Daling River to this day, no Ming army has dared to provoke the Manchu soldiers like this!

Jiala Zhangjing felt anger in his heart and shouted loudly in Manchu: "Right wing charge!"

The cavalry of the Donglu brigade rushed to the right, but they didn't expect that the right side was also mined. This time, the Donglu did not retreat, and was contemptuous and insulted, they deliberately wanted to kill all the Ming troops in front of them. They braved the mines one after another, and after paying more than ten cavalry casualties, they rushed into the 80-step horse bow diffusing area.

Before they could shoot arrows, the 17th battalion artillery adjusted the shooting angle and finally launched a powerful round of shooting.

A shell just broke through the cavalry ranks, tore more than ten people and then landed on the ground, jumped up and smashed on the chest of a war horse. It was obvious that its chest ribs were sinking deep and made a neigh. The Donglu fell to the ground, and his legs were broken.

Xiao Mo watched this bloody scene in the Qianli Miles mirror without much trouble. After experiencing the fierce battle of survival from death, he had already taken life and death very indifferent. What made him anxious now is whether the headquarters of the 20000 has reached the blocking position. Cavalry without sufficient mobility in his hands will easily let these Eastern Frontiers escape. If they cannot block their retreat, rashly investing in close combat with warriors is just a waste of combat power. (To be continued...)
