Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

Dong Hanzhang was originally an ordinary civil servant. Later, due to the rebellion in the south, he, like Fang Guozheng, quickly gained power and became the governor of Jiangnan during the process of suppressing the rebellion.

At this time, the southern rebels were basically wiped out by him. He just happened to build forts everywhere in the Central Plains, which made the court want to take over the territory left by Li Xiu and other rebels after their failure. In addition, he heard that she was Li Xiu's wife. , this is the remnant of Hong Guoguo's Li bandit, so naturally he got very angry and sent such a famous minister to beat him.

The reason why she was so angry was that when the imperial court took over the territory of Li Xiu and others, it found that it was competing with them for territory and kept building fortresses. Naturally, it was unhappy, so it sent surrounding troops and troops to attack her - - As expected, there is no Fang Jiajun here. Obviously, Fang Guozheng's death caused the Fang Jiajun to lose their backbone. Before the new backbone came out, they were scattered and did not dare to come over and fight - but none of them succeeded.

Seeing that no one was successful, the imperial court had no choice but to send Dong Hanzhang to cause trouble for itself. It happened that the southern rebels were also wiped out, and Dong Hanzhang was free to fight himself.

As far as An Ran knows, Dong Hanzhang pays more attention to buying foreign goods than Fang Guozheng. Although Fang Guozheng has a musketeer team, the quality of the guns is not good. Dong Hanzhang's musketeer team is said to be the best in the dynasty.

Not to mention, Dong Hanzhang has stayed in the south for a long time. There are many foreigners in the south. He also found foreigners to organize a foreign gun team, which is equivalent to the nature of mercenaries.

There is the best musketeer team in this dynasty, there is the foreign gun team, and there is also the barbarian artillery team that is said to be the most powerful. These combined make An Ran naturally not look down on him.

"It's time to test the defense capabilities of these bastions against early thermal weapons." An Ran thought while watching the construction of the bastions. "The enemy won't come for about a month. What other preparations should I make this month?"

An Ran has fought cold weapon wars, hot weapon wars in the apocalypse, and interstellar wars in the interstellar space. However, she has not fought in this kind of war during the alternating period of hot and cold periods. She is not considered rich in experience, so she is much more natural. Think about it.

An Ran calculated them one by one: "Weapons, whether they are bows and arrows, muskets, or even artillery, I have processed a lot, which should be enough in the short term; equipment, there are old-fashioned armors, and I also made some new-style body armor. No matter how the enemy attacks, I am prepared; the food is already prepared, so there is no need to worry about it; the personnel are enough for the time being. After all, as long as the outermost bastion is guarded, the inner bastion still does not need many people to defend. There are currently only ten bastions on the outermost edge. Each bastion only needs 2,000 people to defend it. In times of crisis, people in the bastion can be hired to go to the city to help defend. If it is more urgent, people can be dispatched to rescue. Currently, there are 30,000 people there. 20,000 retired people are basically enough."

Enron is different from most armies of this era. She does not have many patrol members. She implements a system of retiring after serving as a patrol member for two years. Of course, members or captains who perform well do not need to retire.

The armies of this era are different. Fang Guozheng, Dong Hanzhang, etc. all have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of men, and some even have hundreds of thousands.

When they attack a place, they sometimes rely on the human wave tactic.

If Enron were to fight on the battlefield, a lot of people might be needed. After all, on both sides, if you hit me with a gun and I hit you with a gun, if there are fewer people, you will definitely suffer.

But she was in the bastion right now, so she didn't need so many people.

"I just don't know which fortress Dong Hanzhang is planning to attack."

So far, there is only an order from the imperial court to let Dong Hanzhang go north to destroy her fortresses, and Dong Hanzhang's troops have no sign of starting.

But she had to guard against Dong Hanzhang's surprise attack.

Unlike the cautious Fang Guozheng, Dong Hanzhang liked to conduct long-distance raids, conduct blitzes, and attack the enemy unprepared.

However, when dealing with a creature like a bastion, it is a bit inappropriate to attack the enemy unprepared, because the bastion is difficult to defeat in a short period of time.

Although it won't be defeated in the short term, it would be best if we could know which bastion the enemy would attack and prepare for it in advance.

As long as the enemy is there, he will always come, and it is impossible not to come.

An Ran decided to fight an interception battle. He could not let the opponent come directly and fight passively by himself. It was best to disrupt the enemy's plan.

At that moment, Enron organized almost 5,000 people.

Soon An Ran received the news that Dong Hanzhang had been dispatched, and the speed was very fast. It was estimated that he would be able to reach An Ran's territory tomorrow.

She does not have a telegraph system yet, so the news came through various channels. The arrival time was also calculated by the person who sent the information based on Dong Hanzhang's marching speed. So will it arrive tomorrow or tonight? It can't be said that it is not certain, so after receiving the news, An Ran took 5,000 people and spread out along the way.

"Fight if you can. If you can't, you must run away. Don't fight with them. We are just giving them some greeting gifts. If it causes us a lot of casualties, it will not be worthwhile." An Ran told the captains before leaving.

All the captains said they knew, after all, they didn’t want anyone to die!

At present, the other four captains each led a thousand men to ambush along the way, and An Ran led a thousand men to approach Dong Hanzhang.

That night, they planned to rest in the first half of the night and set off in the second half of the night. They arrived at the territory of the remnants of Li Bandit in the early morning and caught the remnants of Li Bandit by surprise.

They felt that since they moved quickly and kept their whereabouts secret, the enemy must not know that they had arrived. How could they not catch the enemy by surprise?

As a result, the enemy was not caught off guard; they themselves were caught off guard first.

That night, a group of people were resting when they suddenly heard gunfire and felt like there were enemies everywhere. There were even booms from time to time that sounded like gunfire (actually An Ran and others threw a few grenades), and they suddenly panicked. , bombed the camp.

Can we not blow up the camp? It was dark, and then there were gunshots and "cannonballs" everywhere, mixed with screams, which could scare people to death.

Although Dong Jiajun's quality has always been good, he can't stand up to this battle.

Fortunately, the Dong Jiajun was led by famous ministers, and they quickly stabilized themselves under the shouts of the generals and began to counterattack.

They focused their fire outside for a while, and then asked the artillery battalion to fire another round of artillery. They felt that the surroundings were quiet and they seemed to have fired empty shots, so they stopped firing at the request of the general. After all, ammunition could not be wasted.

Seeing that the enemy was gone, perhaps killed, everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief and continued to lie down and sleep.

As a result, the enemy seemed to have calculated it well, and it was estimated that less than five minutes had passed since everyone fell asleep. Once again, there was loud gunfire and "cannon fire".
