Geng Zhongming and Zhang Tao, who came to watch the city tower together, were also afraid at this moment. General Dong was brave, but the military discipline was scattered. Not to mention marching at snowy nights, even if they were marching at night, those Qiu Ba would not agree.

At this point, it was already dark. I saw an army marching in the snow from afar. I could see a distance from the city tower. Sun Yuanhua, Zhang Yao, and Song Guanglan had telescopes provided by Chen Xie, Geng Zhongming, Zhang Tao, Zhang Keda and others. I wanted to see what the telescope was, but I was not qualified enough. This thing was very stubborn and I didn't sell it if I had any money.

Geng Zhongming took out a monocular telescope in disappointment and stared at the marching team on the avenue. The officials and the men all had umbrellas, and they set the top of the city for Chen Xie, wearing raincoats, and there was no one holding an umbrella. They stood in the wind and snow like javelins.

The sound of neat footsteps approached. The soldiers wearing dark green ponchos pulled out a long dragon on the avenue. There were a total of five infantry teams, including an artillery team, an engineer team, a baggage team, a grenadier team, and a medical team. Each team formed a spurt, which looked slow, but in fact it was moving forward at a constant speed.

Although it was just a regiment training camp, after a period of training, the momentum of the strong soldiers came out, and it was almost bloody. Those who walked in front of each team were officers. Chen Xie flexibly used the tricks of leading new soldiers in modern army. After completing the training of new soldiers, he drew 40% of the veterans from the original army to supplement the new soldiers. Veterans were thrown into the new soldiers and led the new soldiers to speed up their maturity. The most important thing in the army was grassroots officers and veterans who had seen blood. With them, they were like the Dinghai Shen Needle.

Although this army is now a team training, it is not a problem to pull it out and drill holes.

The four infantry teams in front of them approached one after another. When they arrived at the city gate, when they saw Chen Xie, the first team officer could see clearly and immediately issued a loud command: "Go in line!" After the military order, the entire team of soldiers responded consistently. Although they were very tired, the instinct of training drove them to abide by the military order.

The sound of tidy footsteps was like a huge hammer hitting the heart. Whether it was Geng Zhongming or Zhang Tao, they were all frightened at this moment. Fortunately, they had no bad intentions. Otherwise, the army would have hit the door. Their soldiers would definitely not be able to defeat them. Especially when the artillery team drove over, it was even more heartbreaking.

After a battle to serve the king, Chen Xie expanded the artillery team. In the past, there were few skilled gunners and few officers. The materials required for the expedition to North Zhili were also high. Only one artillery team had more than 200 people to serve six artillery pieces. Now it is different. The second class of the Jiading Academy graduated and Yishui artillery. With enough officers, the situation is very different. Combined with the shortcomings of artillery in the previous battle, this artillery team was equipped with 12 field guns, all of which were cast guns, 4 rifled guns, and 8 smoothbore guns. The main function of the rifled gun is to attack long-distance opponent artillery teams, while smoothbore guns mainly attack opponent's offensive troops.

This arrangement is mainly because the rifled gun has a fatal disadvantage and cannot fire shotguns. Before grenades were created, shotguns were the best weapon for artillery to deal with cluster charges. In the last battle of Luanzhou, 30% of the casualties of the Later Jin army were caused by shotguns. For this reason, Chen Xie increased the number of smoothbore guns, so he took care of them both far, medium and close.

A battalion has 12 guns, plus more than 1,000 rifled rifles, and 200 grenadiers. Just make a barbed wire mesh. Don’t mention the army. Even in the Later Jin Dynasty, Chen Xie is confident that he can win the battle of one to five. The only loophole now is that the combat effectiveness of rain and snow weather will be affected to a certain extent. Unfortunately, Chen Xie’s Ming Dynasty workshop could not produce nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, so let alone thunder and mercury. Without thunder and mercury, there would be no fire hats. Without fire hats, there would be no fire hats. After this battle, Chen Xie planned to start on this issue. At least he had to develop a simple production process and capture modern materials himself. He first made three acids and two alkalis, and then put them into the fire hats. Chen Xie did not seek fast in this process. He could form a certain production capacity in three years, so that the Dengzhou camp would be self-sufficient.

At this time, we can see that the cement road is coming. The army marched on hard roads and its speed was not affected at all. Unlike before, marching in rainy and snowy weather, it was a threat.

The troops entered the city in less than half an hour and lined up in the military camp. Even though the snow was still falling, the entire army still maintained a strict formation without any confusion. Even if they were fools, they could see that the army was fighting power.

The green soldiers entered the city. Before the darkness, all the city gates, military camps, and water camp fortresses were taken over. Geng Zhongming and other troops could only huddle in the camp after Kong Youde left, staring at the snow outside in a daze.

In the Governor's yamen, the house arrest of Geng Zhongming, Zhang Tao and others was not lifted, but instead expanded. Some of the officers below, since Chen Xie's troops entered the city, were ordered to be put into the backyard of the Governor's yamen under the name of a meeting. There were green soldiers watching at the door. To be nice, they were just looking at them. When the money and food were ready, they could not let them go.

"Brother Yuntai, don't think too much. Even if you think too much, the governor will not change his mind." Zhang Tao kindly persuaded the army. Geng Zhongming was worried and sighed without looking back: "Kong Ruitu is in trouble. He never thought that Chen Sihua's troops are elite soldiers. If they don't fight, they will be defeated."

Zhang Tao said silently. Now they were actually controlled. The future fate was not allowed to be controlled. At this time, a guard came and said, "Two masters, Master Zhongcheng, please invite me."

The two went to Sun Yuanhua's place and saw Chen Xie and Zhang Kedao were all there, feeling very uncomfortable, but more afraid.

"All here, sit down. Chen Sihua just now suggested that your second division go to Laizhou to ensure that Laizhou is not lost. In Dengzhou, General Zhang and General Chen Chan are responsible for defense. The two, Kong Youde rebelled and his death is not far away. Although the court had the voice of the ruling lords, our military military will insist on the ruling lords." Sun Yuanhua's position was a bit subtle. In history, he was the ruling corps. Isn't it because he had no troops to fight? It's different now. With Chen Xie's troops, his back is also hard.

Now Sun Yuanhua can only trust Chen Xie. Just now, Chen Xie proposed that Zhang Ke beg Dengzhou to defend, Chen Xie led his troops to Huang County, and as long as Kong Youde dared to come, he would take the initiative to fight. Historically, Kong Youde did this, bypassing Laizhou and heading straight to Dengzhou. Why did he do this? At that time, Dengzhou had Dongjiang soldiers and a large number of Liaodong population.

Recently, a large number of Liaodong refugees have also come to Dengzhou, and the number of people is increasing, exceeding 50,000. Due to the Battle of Daling River and the rebellion of Dongjiang Town, the number of Liaodong refugees has increased. The actual number of Liaodong refugees in Shandong and Denglai is more than 100,000. This is a very terrible number.

It's a little better in Dengzhou. Zhang Yao and Song Yi are all evacuating, and Chen Xie has also taken in many refugees. However, the number of refugees is still increasing, which is the main reason why Chen Xie wants to drive Geng Zhongming and Zhang Tao away. The ground in Dengzhou has developed rapidly in recent years, and the people are prosperous. It is normal for foreign Liaodong people to be excluded. It is like a pile of firewood, with a little spark.

After Chen Xie's analysis, Sun Yuanhua still listened, so he didn't plan to send Geng Zhongming and Zhang Tao out for field battles, because he was afraid that the Dongjiang Army would turn against each other. In history, Zhang Tao's subordinates did this and ran away on the battlefield. Zhang Tao came back alone, resulting in Zhang Ke's large flank being exposed and easily defeated.

Of course, Chen Xie would not make this mistake. Today he mobilized troops into the city and taught the two men a lesson. Then he threw them to Laizhou. It is estimated that they would have to consider it if they wanted to rebel. With Chen Xie's military power, it would be easy to defeat them.

The Dongjiang Army left in Dengzhou, with only 5,000 elite troops, and all the elite troops were transferred away. The remaining people, let alone war, were all a problem to gather equipment. This made Geng Zhongming and Zhang Tao’s repeated thoughts, and then they could safely deal with Kong Youde.

Chen Xie was not worried that he could not defeat Kong Youde. What he really worried about was that he had gone out and Geng Zhongming and Zhang Tao had a ghost. That was why he took great pains to arrange a plan and force these two people to leave. After they went to Laizhou, Chen Xie could feel at ease, otherwise how could he go to war with peace of mind when he was nesting under the eyes of a man? Chen Xie actually wanted these two people to join Kong Youde.

Unfortunately, just now, Sun Yuanhua proposed to ask Geng Zhongming and Zhang Tao to Laizhou, and Chen Xie couldn't say anything. After all, Sun Yuanhua had made huge concessions. Now the entire Dengzhou, including the Navy Fortress, is in the hands of Chen Xie. This is already difficult for Sun Yuanhua to do. Therefore, Sun Yuanhua and Xi Mui just now, the excuse was Chen Xie's suggestion, and Chen Xie had no objection. It was a pity that he missed an opportunity to kill Geng Zhongming, a traitor.

Geng Zhongming and Zhang Tao had no objection to Sun Yuanhua's arrangements, but they were very happy. Shou Laizhou must be in the city, and they don't have to fight against the elites under Kong Youde, and they don't have to fight with acquaintances. This matter is good no matter how you look at it.

"As the order of Lord Zhongcheng, when will the food and grass be prepared, and when will our army set off?" The two of them responded to their orders, and their hatred for Chen Xie was somewhat reduced. As long as they were not forced to go to the field to fight.

Geng Zhongming in history played a trick on his inner support because the Ming army was too bad at that time, and the Dongjiang group of people was very powerful. Huang Long was in Lushun. If Shang Kexi hadn't done his work, he would have been done. The Dongjiang army was still thinking about establishing the country itself, these bastards.

At this point, there was nothing to arrange. Chen Xie hurriedly said goodbye, patrolled around and moved into the military camp. Even if he was in a state of war, the next morning, Qishan Camp arrived and could arrive overnight, which completely eliminated some people's little thoughts. At noon, the efficient joint trade food and grass was prepared. (To be continued...)
