The troops stationed in Aries are in front, and the Tartars that block the road will definitely send people to intercept them.

Therefore, after Zhu Houzhao was exploring the way forward, he sent someone out from behind after he went to Arieskou to rescue soldiers.

At the same time, he sent a messenger to Xuanfu and Liaodong to bring reinforcements.

Next, we must hold the enemy's footsteps before the rescuers arrive.

The enemy is too close.

It is unrealistic for the transportation team to turn around and walk back in a hurry now.

After all, it was only half an hour earlier, and half an hour later, it was defeated by his own fear and escaped with the double blow of the enemy cavalry.

There are not many guards who can transport them.

Being able to send 500 cavalry to hold back the opponent's footsteps first gives them more time to deploy defense and wait for rescue.

Zhu Houzhao was still thinking about what to do if the grain transport soldiers and civilians were responsible for transportation...

However, even though Zhu Houzhao was already calculating, she felt that defense seemed a bit difficult.

Just then, Zhao Ce spoke, and he looked at Zhao Ce expectantly.

Zhu Houzhao was enough to make various decisions in such a short time.

Even though Zhao Ce originally knew that he was a war-capable person, he couldn't help but feel admired him for a moment.

Because this is Zhu Houzhao's first real command battle!

As for the last time to pacify the White Lotus Rebels, it can only be said to be a playhouse.

Zhao Ce pointed to the three Franco cannons and added: "The cannons are assembled on site."

"Three Franco cannons, each with three sub-cannons, can fire nine shells in a short time."

"The Tartars must have not seen the continuous shells, and they can temporarily repel the enemy's first rushing."

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "It's reasonable, I forgot this."

"Send the order to quickly assemble the cannons, find a good location, and prepare for artillery!"

The gunner who received the order immediately became busy.

Zhao Ce continued: "The civilians in charge of transportation will select 500 people to come."

"I don't recommend letting them go to the battlefield first for the rest of the people."

"Unless our shelling is ineffective, consider using them later."

"After the cavalry rushed over, the people in front would definitely be dispersed."

"If the formation is disbanded, it is easy to escape."

"Once the escape begins, the people behind will be affected."

These civilians are all fighting power. If they don’t need them, just let them watch their own people fight bloody battles on the spot?

Not to mention Zhu Houzhao, the officers of the original transportation team were all stunned.

"this……"

I don't know what to call it, the officer paused.

But there was no time for him to worry about it any more.

"This general, these civilians transported were all middle-aged men, and the number of people was several times that of our sergeants."

"With so much combat power, you won't need to choose only five hundred?"

Zhao Ce said affirmatively: "No."

"Not only do not need it, they also have to set up their formation and hide in the middle."

"The baggage van is outside, and the people are protected by the baggage van."

"If the cavalry cannot escape, our cannons will be easy to fight."

Not only do not need to, but also protect these people...

Senator Liu was a civil servant and couldn't help but remain silent.

He really had no idea about this practice.

However, Zhu Houzhao only thought for a moment and agreed, "Then try it."

"Leave a road between the baggage chariots and prevent cavalry from rushing in, but it is convenient for people to walk around."

The orders were ordered as well.

The transport teams, who were originally nervous, were all a little confused after hearing this order.

Many people think they have heard it wrong.

"June, we will pick five hundred of us?"

"The rest of the people should hide in it?"

The officer in charge of notifying him nodded and said, "Stop talking nonsense, set up the formation as directed."

"If you delay your business because of your slow movements, military law will deal with it!"

"The people picked out stood up and lined up to give orders!"

Zhao Ce rode a horse and guided everyone to place these numerous supplies.

Zhu Houzhao is determining the situation with the spy who just returned.

Liu Jin was not idle either. He asked the officers to get a few pairs of armor and helmets, and wanted to wear it for Zhu Houzhao and others.

"These men don't need to protect them, but instead."

"This young master from the capital doesn't know what he is thinking about?"

"That's right, I've fought for a lifetime and I've never seen such a fighting style."

The two officers watched Zhao Ce arrange everyone to form a formation there, muttering for a while.

"Ahem..."

A malicious cough sounded behind.

The two of them turned around and were shocked.

"Master...father-in-law..."

These eunuchs who were sent to various places to supervise the army were not people who could offend them.

Although these two people didn't like these dead eunuchs in their hearts, they didn't dare to show their faces.

Liu Jin sneered.

"Military orders are like mountains, just keep them alive."

"Even if you die here today, it is an honor for you!"

After Liu Jin finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The two people behind him cursed in their hearts at his back.

Senator Liu, who was standing by, also saw this scene.

The general beside him whispered: "Mr. Liu, what should I do?"

"We have a lot of plans, and now we only have a thousand combat power."

One thousand defenders.

First, five hundred were sent out to trip the enemy's footsteps, and only five hundred combat power was left behind.

Now, with the five hundred civil servants selected, there are no mounts, plus three cannons.

Such combat power is to fight against tens of thousands of cavalry. How to fight?

"Why, Senator Liu, please persuade the general to organize all these civilians?"

The general who spoke was Lu Tai, the general of the original baggage team.

If he followed his actions, he would definitely be behind a thousand cavalry and let the baggage team run first.

I really can't run away, so I will fight back on the spot.

It is really not the reason why the baggage truck was thrown halfway, but instead used materials to protect people.

The Mongols basically don't want these artillery.

But they must protect those materials with their lives!

So in Lu Tai's view, that so-called general is really good at fighting.

The older young man next to him was just a dog-headed military advisor.

Both of them are both Bodhisattva-minded and actually want to protect the civilians who transport them on the battlefield.

If you think about it carefully, these people may have something.
