Sanmen Town.

On the top of the city that was not as high as that, Wu Chengqi looked at the more than a hundred Japanese pirates surrounded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Longquan's military training is quite effective. Before the bird gun was released, the Japanese pirates were defeated."

Hou Jigao, who was standing beside him, laughed and said, "Brother Ding'an is too good. He said that it is just a model of the Qian Family Guards' tactics."

"The Qian family in Songjiang is a scholarly family. Unexpectedly, Lord Qian became famous all over the world for military affairs." Wu Chengqi praised: "Last year, he followed him to Jiaxing, and encountered Japanese pirates on the way. He was not surprised to deal with things, and guarded elites. In the next two great victories, he turned the tide... Not good, there is a fish that missed the net!"

The Japanese pirates surrounded by the city were very cunning, and they attacked from the east and broke their tails to survive. Dozens of Japanese pirates broke out from their weak spots and fled to the south desperately.

Hou Jigao was about to go down the city, but Wu Chengqi had already taken two steps in three steps. He turned over and shouted a few times. Zhong Nan, who was frustrated and unable to go into battle, excitedly led Tian Zhou wolf soldiers out of the city and chased him along the direction of the Japanese pirates' escape.

Hou Jigao smiled and shook his head, directing his subordinates to strangle the remaining Japanese pirates and clean up the battlefield. After Wu Chengqi became the Taizhou Promoter, he did not stay in Linhai County. In fact, he was Lu Bin, and Hou Jigao was coming to help.

Wu Chengqi made a very impressive performance in the Tongxiang victory last year. He was the first to rush into the Japanese pirates' central army, killing more than ten Japanese pirates with two left and right swords, and making great contributions. However, this Yuelai was very depressed. Lu Bin and Hou Jigao took turns to fight to train troops, and Wu Chengqi stayed behind... Although he was a civil servant in name, he was a brave person who liked to charge.

Although Hou Jigao was born in the Wei Institute, he has been practicing literature and martial arts since he was a child, read history books, and was able to recite poems and essays. Although Wu Chengqi has been promoted repeatedly with military achievements, his knowledge... In Wang Yin's words, no matter how eight-legged essays, your Qian Zhancai is not as good as Wu Chengqi.

In addition, Hou Jigao and Wu Chengqi fought side by side in Tongxiang, and the two had a close relationship.

Not long after, Hou Jigao saw Wu Chengqi returning from afar, with two Japanese pirates hanging under the horse's neck.

"Longquan, see who is coming!" Wu Chengqi waved from afar, "Another Longquan has arrived!"

Hou Jigao urged him to come forward and smiled, "I just mentioned Zhan Cai, but now I'm here. Zhan Cai led Jimei to kill all directions in Shaoxing Prefecture and came to Ninghai for two months. He really favored one and the other!"

"Two favors one and the other?" Qian Yuanji smiled and cursed: "Qi Jimei led more than a thousand troops to support Shaoxing. Those who stayed in Yiwu were separated from Qi Yuanjing, and even all the weapons were snatched away!"

Hou Jigao waved his hands repeatedly, and most of them were snatched by Qi Jiguang, but we didn't get much.

"Lu Bin and Longquan have been fighting for four or five years. Brother Ding'an and Brother Zhong are also experienced. Qi Jimei is young after all, so she is really worried." Qian Yuan got off the horse and patted Zhong Nan on the shoulder, "I agreed that a head-level 30-two-patterned silver will be denied. Can Taizhou Government Office and General Lu Shen have any debts?"

There was still blood on Zhong Nan's blue cloth clothes. He smiled and nodded, "General Lu Shen is the old friend of Zhan Cai, and the prefect is Zhan Cai's uncle. His family is easy to talk about... He also wanted to talk about it after the war, but he sent the money the next day and had nowhere to be released!"

Qian Yuan laughed, "This battle, see how much money Brother Zhong can exchange for to go back... However, you need to obey military orders during the war, so you should not attack rashly."

Hou Jigao nodded and said, "Tianzhou soldiers are brave and good at fighting. In addition, some Taizhou soldiers and Yiwu soldiers are equipped with thirty soldiers per post, and the rest are all handed over to Brother Ding'an to manage."

"Last month, the Japanese pirates robbed Xiangshan, and Changguowei was almost defeated. The Japanese pirates fled to Ninghai. General Lu led his army to fight. At the critical moment, Brother Ding'an led 200 warriors to attack the Japanese pirates' rear formation. The Japanese pirates were defeated and drowned countless times."

"It's also luck." Wu Chengqi waved and called someone, "This person, Zhu Ba, from Jiaxing, was slaughtered by Japanese pirates. He joined the army alone last year and was extremely powerful. On that day, he abandoned his weapons and swept down more than ten Japanese pirates with a huge tree in his hand. The Japanese pirates fled in fear and fled."

In this era, Qian Yuan was tall, nearly 1.8 meters tall, and even in the north, there were few people. Zhu Ba was over 20 years old, and he was a head taller than Qian Yuan, with very long hands and feet. He held a strange-shaped weapon with dense short spears inserted on his back.

"What a warrior!" Wang Yi praised: "Even if it is placed in the border army, it will be the best!"

Qian Yuan looked at it curiously for a while, his eyes fell on the weapon, and looked carefully. It looked like a... The rake used by farmers to harbor grass. The body was more than three meters long, and it stretched out horizontally from the front nearly one meter. There were dense and sharp rake teeth, and the whole body was made of iron. Qian Yuan took it and weighed it very much.

"Zhancai..." Hou Jigao smiled and said, "This guy made a great contribution and actually used all the reward silver to make this thing... see what it looks like?"

"Nine-toothed Rake?" Liang Sheng grinned, "Oh, your name is Zhu Ba..."

With a burst of laughter, Zhu Ba touched his head and leaned against the Jiutiao rake, knelt down and kowtowed to Qian Yuan, "The little Zhu Ba kowtowed to Lord Qian."

"He is from Tongxiang County." Hou Jigao explained: "Zhan Cai sent the guards into the army. He and Zhou Ze are familiar with you and want to join your disciple, but the war is coming..."

"There is no shortage of one person." Wang Yi interrupted: "Besides, the Qian family's elite guard armor is just right in the southeast!"

Wu Baipeng smiled and said, "Brother Wang is so happy to see the hunt. Want to accept an apprentice?"

"Don't kowtow yet?" Liang Wen stretched out his feet and pointed gently, and Zhu Ba quickly turned to kowtowed to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi pulled Zhu Ba up and ordered someone to bring a pair of iron armor and a waist knife.

Although the iron armor did not fit well, Zhu Ba was dressed neatly and everyone shouted, "What a great man, he was so majestic."

After a small episode, everyone went straight to Ninghai County. Lu Bin had more than 3,000 troops under his command, and more than 1,000 troops were stationed in Sanmen Town. Lu Bin led two thousand soldiers to station in Ninghai, and more than 1,000 soldiers under Qi Jimei were stationed in Tiantai County. Nominally, Lu Bin was commanded by Lu Bin, but the actual commander was Qian Yuan.

Before knowing Xu Hai's movement, Qian Yuan ordered Qi Jimei to station in Tiantai County. This place can help Sanmen Town to the east, and to the northeast is Ninghai. Go south along the rivers to Linhai. Go north along the east river to enter the Cao'e River to Shaoxing Prefecture.

Everyone in the camp sat down, and Qian Yuan listened carefully to Lu Bin's report. Over the past month, Taizhou has been frequently attacked by Japanese pirates. Because Taiping County, the southernmost Taizhou, has a navy led by Ge Hao, most of the Japanese pirates are targeted in Xiangshan and Ninghai areas, which gave Lu Bin and Hou Jigao the opportunity to train troops.

The Xiangshan Mountain is now divided into two halves, with Changting Town as the line, with Taizhou in the west, and Changguowei in the east, belonging to Ningbo Prefecture, but there is a Xiangshan Port in the middle, and the entire Xiangshan Mountain is actually within the jurisdiction of Lu Bin, which happened to be the name of Ning Shaotai General.

"There are more losses in the battle." Qian Yuan frowned and said, "Although it is necessary to have more casualties when it comes to training with war, there will be nearly 20% of the losses in the battle..."

After looking at Lu Bin's face, Qian Yuan comforted: "Of course, this is different from the Shaoxing Mansion. After the Shanyin victory, the new soldiers were highly motivated and equipped, and the proportion of old soldiers was also high."

Lu Bin sighed: "Zhancai, can you find a way to get some iron armor? Last time he confronted Japanese pirates in Xiangshan, Brother Ding'an led the warriors to raid and break the enemy. In that battle, dozens of people were killed, if there were armor soldiers..."

"There is no need to think about the Taizhou government office. My uncle doesn't have any iron armor in his hand. Even if he has it, he will be sent to Taiping and Huangyan. There is no need to think about the Governor's Office. Liu Xian, the governor stationed in Shaoxing, and Wu Weixi from Xiaoshan are the first choice."

Qian Yuan had a headache. In this era, a good-quality iron armor can greatly increase the resistance and combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers, but this thing has a good technical content. It is made of leather and armor leaves, and it is necessary to use good iron, which is expensive.

The key is that in the upcoming war, many of the elite Japanese pirates under Xu Hai's army came from Japan, and there were even a large number of ronin, which was sharp enough to ignore ordinary iron armor. In terms of cost-effectiveness, popularizing iron armor is a bit of a loss.

However, the Qian family's guards are well equipped, more than half of them have iron armor, and there are even two teams equipped with chain mail, which has very strong defense and is light and does not affect movement.

Qian Yuan thought for a while and whispered: "I don't know how much iron armor there is in stock in Kuocang Mountain, so I'll send it all over... In addition, the iron armor should not be dispersed and used in a concentrated manner. The main equipment is like the soldiers raided by Brother Ding'an."

Lu Bin was excited and thanked him. In the past few months, he was promoted to Ning Shaotai General, and his father Lu Tong was still in Zhaozhuo, and he was under great pressure.

Qian Yuan also saw this and advised: "Don't worry, I entrusted Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei in Beijing to take care of him. If nothing unexpected happens, at least I can save my life."

Lu Bin wanted to thank him again, and Wang Yi's low report came from outside, "Young Master, here you are here."

"Come in."

Behind Wang Yi is Zhou Ze, and then Zhou Ji, who Qian Yuan has not seen for a year. Zhou Ji was sent by him to Tan Wei last year.
