In the room, everyone listened to Jiang Jiaren's words, looked at each other, and gritted their teeth and nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiaren said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, then build a defense and send someone to contact various tribes."

Good things have gone through hardships. Ganchao immigrated to the land of Yinzhou. After repeated crises, it is now the time for life and death.

Yin Capital is located in the southern foot of Mount Nevada, and Xinshang Company calls it Xiaohua Mountain.

The city will be on the southern slope of the mountain range. The military and civilians use the terrain to build fortifications, directly eliminate the hillside, and turn the mountain into a city wall.

At this time, more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians were busy outside the Yin Capital. Liu Jiqiu and more than 5,000 people fought and retreated from Shangkou Town, and returned to Yin Capital.

The Spanish all have heavy equipment, and there are small roads along the way from Shangkou to Yindu. Spain marched slowly and was left behind by Liu Jiqiu.

Although the Spanish did not catch up, thousands of soldiers and civilians were very tired even though they traveled hundreds of miles.

As soon as Liu Jiqiu's men entered the camp, the military and civilians of Yindu who had learned the news in advance had already cooked broth, steamed sweet potatoes and corn on the cobs waiting for them.

The soldiers who were busy retreating and had no time to eat, received the food, and squatted aside and ate the corn cob.

Liu Jiqiu sat on a stone, holding a soup bowl in one hand and corn in the other. There were soldiers sitting or squatting everywhere, and there was no sound, only eating and drinking.

At this time, a group of people surrounded Jiang Jiaren and hurried over. Zhao Ming walked and said, "Liu San is ahead."

Jiang Jiaren saw his brother-in-law in the crowd and walked over, "Ji Qiu."

Liu Jiqiu quickly put down the food and touched his mouth, "General."

Jiang Jiaren sat down on the box opposite him, and then asked, "Ji Qiu, where are the colonists' army?"

Liu Jiqiu sat down on the stone again, "General, the colonists are behind. At the beginning, everyone thought that Yin Du had no contact with the outside world and wanted to repair the road, but the General Secretary said it was safer not to repair it. At that time, everyone didn't believe it, but now it seems that the General Secretary is really far-reaching. The Spaniards have a lot of equipment and supplies, and the road is difficult to walk, so I left behind."

When retreating from the Shangkou, Liu Jiqiu was worried that the people would walk slowly and would be caught up by the Spanish, but found that the Spanish were walking slower than the people.

Jiang Jiaren was unwilling to build roads at the beginning, but was indeed afraid that the road would be repaired so that the enemy could attack Yindu. His idea can be said to be consistent with an African tyrant.

Hearing that the Spaniards were left behind, Jiang Jiaren breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask: "How are the colonists' equipment?"

Liu Jiqiu looked solemn, "They are well-equipped, with flintlock rifles, field cannons, and cavalry, which are not something we can compare to."

"How many cannons are there?" Zhao Ming asked with concern.

Xinshang Company also has some muskets, the key is that there are not many cannons, and there are no cannons in the city, which is very passive.

Liu Jiqiu said: "There are at least one hundred field artillery, and the shells are fired at about five or six kilograms."

Zhao Ming said to Jiang Jiaren with a serious expression: "The six-pound shells weighing are very destructive to the existing fortifications, and we must try to prevent their shelling."

Jiang Jiaren nodded and said in a deep voice: "When the colonists have not arrived, we will hurry up and discuss the plan and quickly build the fortifications."

Xinshang Company belongs to everyone, which gives the company a strong subjective initiative in war. When facing difficulties, senior management and soldiers will find solutions.

One hundred artillery will pose a huge threat to Yindu’s defense.

With Yindu’s defense, it must be unable to withstand the long-term bombardment of cannons.

Zhao Ming frowned and suddenly said, "General, I think the defense circle must be moved outward, and the enemy's artillery cannot be allowed to approach the city so easily."

Jiang Jiaren asked, "What do you think?"

Zhao Ming glanced at the front of Yindu City and suddenly pointed at the hills three miles away, slightly shorter than Yindu City. "Send people to guard those hills, and the enemy will not be so easy to approach Yindu City."

Liu Jiqiu said: "Although these hills can prevent the enemy from entering the city directly, they may not be able to withstand the enemy's attack! Once the colonists blasted their artillery and the infantry rushed, the hills had to defend to the death."

Zhao Ming said, "I have a way! We retreat all the way, and the colonists are advancing all the way. When they fight to Yindu, they will inevitably feel contempt. We may be able to set up a plan for them."

Jiang Jiaren was interested, "Oh, talk about it!"

Zhao Ming pointed to the hill in front, "We can pretend to set up defenses on the hill in front, but in fact we dug a cave for Tibetan soldiers on the back of the hillside. After Spain arrived, they saw that the hillside had defense, and they would definitely bombard the artillery, and then let the infantry take the mountain down. At this time, the brothers on the hillside resist appropriately and then retreat into the cave for Tibetan soldiers on the back of the hillside. The location of these hills is very suitable for setting up artillery to bombard Yindu. If the enemy transports the cannons to the hillside, then the brothers hiding in the cave can launch a surprise attack at night and retake the mountain, saying that they can't rob a few more cannons back."

After hearing this, Jiang Jiaren's eyes lit up and nodded, "I think this idea is good, what do you think?"

Everyone nodded, and Liu Jiqiu said, "I think this strategy of Minister Zhao is OK too! Those Spaniards rely on their excellent equipment to burn, kill and loot all the way, and did not take us seriously at all. They never tire of cheating. They would definitely not have thought that we would do this."

Seeing this, Jiang Jiaren said in a deep voice: "Very good. Since Ji Qiu also agrees, I want to hand over this task to you."

"Brother-in-law~" Liu Jiqiu suddenly felt that the corn cob in his hand was no longer fragrant, but he still said, "Okay, I obey the arrangement!"

Jiang Jiaren patted his shoulder, "Ji Qiu, for the sake of the company, I believe you will be able to complete the task."

Zhao Ming also stepped forward and said, "Xiao Liu, I'm optimistic about you!"

Liu Jiqiu thought that when he followed Jiang Jiaren to Yinzhou, he had not made any money and was forced to die, and he felt a little wronged.

Others are just brother-in-law cheating on his brother-in-law, but he is good enough to cheat on his brother-in-law.

He is in Jiangnan, so why is he a rich second-generation and a playboy? He has a comfortable life. I really don’t understand why he has to come here to suffer.

Although he had many complaints in his heart, Liu Jiqiu knew that Daqian could not go back no matter what, and if he wanted to survive in Yinzhou, he had to defeat the Spaniards who wanted to kill them.

"As for order!" Liu Jiqiu raised his back and saluted seriously, "I will definitely complete the task."

At this time, a vague sound of cannons came from afar, and Jiang Jiaren's expression changed, "The colonists are approaching, hurry up, hurry up, go build fortifications and dig the Tibetan soldiers' caves."

At this moment, Liu Jiqiu didn't care about continuing to eat, so he shouted to his subordinates, "Brothers, I have a task!"

The soldier who was eating stood up immediately after hearing his shout.
