The gate of Xinpingbao was wide open, and teams of soldiers with tiger-shaped flags entered the city through the gate.

"Pan Yingzheng, you are waiting for you." Du Yan greeted him with a smile on his face.

Pan Yi, who also walked over, smiled and said, "When I first set out from the grassland, I received the order to capture Xinping Fort. The army was halfway through the way and heard that Xinping Fort was captured by you first."

"We have no choice. Lingqiu is too far from the grassland. Once the imperial court dispatches a large army to attack, it will be difficult for us to withdraw from Lingqiu. So Liao Yingzheng proposed to capture Xinping Fort and open up a passage with the grassland."

Du Yan explained.

The two walked towards the city together.

After entering the city, at Pan Yi's suggestion, the two went directly to the top of the city.

Standing on the top of the city, Du Yan looked at the neatly lined up in front of the city gate, his eyes full of envy.

He was the deputy battalion commander of the baggage camp in Lingqiu.

However, the gap between the baggage troops under his command and the soldiers of these main combat divisions in front of him is still very obvious.

First of all, the soldiers who were preparing to enter the city were all dressed in uniform, holding the latest style of the tiger flag in their hands, and looking at their baggage battalion, although the military uniforms on them were mostly cotton armor, they could be in color.

However, there are several types, especially the muskets used. Except for a few self-generated muskets, most of the baggage soldiers use combroach guns, and many of them are eliminated when several combat divisions change their clothes.

Even the cannon, a battle barracks of the main combat division, in addition to a part of the four-pound cannons, also had four six-pound cannons and a nine-pound cannon, while their baggage battalion was only equipped with some tiger squat cannons and four four-pound cannons.

It was because of his baggage battalion stationed in Lingqiu that he was equipped with a cannon team. Even so, there were only a dozen four-pound cannons, and the six-pound cannons and nine-pound cannons were not equipped at all.

"Are you envious?" Pan Yi noticed Du Yan's envious eyes from the side and asked with a smile.

Du Yan nodded without any concealment and said, "I really envy you, the battalions from the independent combat troops division. The cannons alone are several more than us. Unlike our baggage camp, not to mention the few cannons, ordinary baggage

Many of the muskets used by soldiers are about to be eliminated, but this is not enough. There is almost a team of thousands of people still using spears."

"You guy, you still dislike using a coerk gun. The Ming military weapons used are all coerk guns. The quality is not comparable to that of our Tiger Flag." Pan Yi said teasingly.

Du Yan said with a bitter face: "You use flintlock guns when fighting in the military camp, and our supplies camp uses the flintlock guns you eliminated. This is obviously the treatment of your godson. Our supplies camp is also the biological son of the tiger flag!

”

"Haha, it's useless to complain to me. You have to tell our boss about this." Pan Yi laughed.

Du Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Give me aside, I don't have the courage to say this to the boss."

"Okay, don't complain anymore. There is no way to do this. Our tiger flag has expanded its army too quickly in the past two years, and the workshop's production capacity is insufficient. The logistics battalion can only temporarily replace the remaining troops with the combat barracks."

Pan Yi explained.

"I understand." Du Yan nodded.

I knew in my heart that the logistics camps were all large camps formed later. Unlike several war divisions, they all experienced wars against the Mongols to the north. In addition, the production of iron in the Dongshan Iron Field was limited, so their logistics camps were lagging behind.

Equipment is normal.

Pan Yi took out the pipe from his pocket, pinched a little tobacco and stuffed it in, lit it and took a sip, spit out a sip, and said, "The owner found an iron ore on the grassland and set up a lot of iron furnaces. In the future, the iron will be cooked.

More and more, the baggage camp will be replaced with the best armor."

"It would be great if there was such a day." Du Yan said excitedly.

No one who leads the army does not want the soldiers under his command to wear the best armor. After all, the general with the tiger flag is not like the generals of the Ming army, thinking about how to drink soldiers' blood all day long.

Pan Yi turned his head and looked at Du Yan and said, "But you have no chance."

"Ah!" Du Yan was stunned.

Pan Yi said: "The boss has already dispatched the First Military Army Division to Datong to use troops. Once Datong is captured in the future, we will use more places. When a new military army division is formed, you may be killed.

It's transferred."

"Is the boss going to rebel?" Du Yan's eyes were rounded, shocked by the news brought by Pan Yi.

Pan Yi pondered for a moment and said, "The order I received was to take over your garrison in Xinpingbao and wait for the reinforcements behind. In a few days, our division should be at Xinpingbao."

"What about us?" Du Yan stretched out his index finger with his right hand and pointed at himself.

Pan Yi said: "You continue to escort the miners in Dongshan and their families north with the baggage battalion. Our tiger flag on the iron field on the grassland requires a large number of miners to smelve iron."

"Let me and the more than 2,000 soldiers I brought to help you. There is Liao Ying on the miners, so there will be no problem." Du Yan said.

Seeing that their tiger flag was about to fight with the Ming army in Datong, he didn't want to go to the grassland at this time.

Pan Yi shook his head and said, "I have known about the troops you commanded. A large part of them are temporary miners, and the remaining part is baggage troops. It's okay to fight a smooth battle, but you can't fight a tough battle."

Rejected the request Du Yan wanted to leave.

"I really don't have any chance to stay?" Du Yan asked again unwillingly.

The war with the court is really the biggest battle in the past two years. If you miss it, you will not know when you will catch up.

Pan Yi said: "I have sent someone to the direction of Lingqiu to find out where the Dongshan miners punished from Lingqiu have been there. When the next group of miners and their families arrive, you will follow the troops from Xinpingbao.

Let's go to the grassland together."

Hearing this, Du Yan knew that he could not stay.

However, he also knew that the other party was right. Although the troops he commanded captured Xinping Fort, it was because Huang An was frightened by the shelling, otherwise Xinping Fort would not have been captured so smoothly.

Compared with his temporary troops and the regular combat camp led by Pan Yi, there is still a big gap.

A few days passed.

Du Yan followed the last group of miners going north to the grassland to the grassland.

Datong Prefecture also welcomed the troops sent by Xuan Prefecture.

Inside the governor's yamen of Datong.

Li Guangyi sat in the middle, with Yang Guozhu, general of Datong and Wang Bao, general of Xuanfu, respectively on the left and right.

"Military Gate, the last general just received the news that the tiger flag sent a soldier to Xinpingbao, with a total of nearly 20,000 people." Yang Guozhu said with an ugly expression.

They waited for the troops sent by Xuanfu, but the bandits in Xinpingbao also waited for their own reinforcements.

Li Guangyi nodded slightly expressionlessly.

However, Wang Bao on the other side said, "Since I knew that Xinpingbao was captured by the bandits for a long time, why didn't I send a large army to wipe out the bandits? Now the bandits have come to reinforcements. If they want to regain Xinpingbao, I'm afraid it's even more

It's hard."
