Three thousand soldiers quickly completed the assembly, and Zhao Tai walked to the front of his team and checked the equipment of his soldiers one by one according to the Ganchao Infantry War Regulations.

He used to be a top-class soldier, but this time he was promoted to the commander of the team, equivalent to a small flag officer of the Ming Dynasty, with eleven soldiers under his command.

At this time, he walked to the side of the team, and the soldiers in front of him immediately raised the musket in front of his chest. Zhao Tai took the musket, tested the trigger, checked whether the hammer collided with the steel sickle, and could fire Mars. He also checked whether the musket was clean, and then returned the musket to the soldiers with satisfaction.

At this time, he continued to pull out the bayonets, engineer shovels, ammunition boxes, kettles, and grenades from the soldiers' waists, and then put them back one by one.

After Zhao Tai was sure that everything was right, he slapped his palm on the other party's chest and said with satisfaction: "No, right! Wu Shizhang, you are going to strive for meritorious service this time!"

Zhao Tai finished inspecting the eleven soldiers in turn, and then returned to the queue and put on his military cap.

At this time, the brigade commander Zhou Bin came over after the meeting, inspected his subordinates who had already formed a formation, and then asked the instructor to make a brief mobilization.

Although they were mercenaries of Xinshang Company, they retained the system of military affairs and political work.

After the instructor mobilized, Zhou Bin stepped forward and said to his brothers: "Soldiers, we have just arrived in Yinzhou. We should have let everyone rest, but the war ahead is urgent, and the colonists do not allow us to rest."

Zhao Tai and others kept standing, looking at the commander together and listening to the commander's speech.

Zhou Bin said loudly: "Do you know who these colonists are?"

Zhao Tailang said, "I know, it is the Spanish who fought with the Master of the Water."

The military attaches great importance to ideological education. When fighting, the soldiers must know why they are fighting.

During the Chongming training period, the soldiers of the Bao'an Battalion had to receive military training, but also political training and propaganda from the Ganchao.

The first security battalion, in name, was a mercenary of Xinshang Company, but in fact it was the army of the dynasty.

"Yes, the Spanish appeared on the coast of my Dakan, destroyed our vassal states, and slaughtered our compatriots in Manila. The navy brothers fought with them, and now it's our turn." The instructor shouted without a chance.

Zhou Bin took the conversation and continued: "These Western colonists plundered everywhere and were driven out of the South Ocean by their navy brothers. In Yinzhou, they bullied the people of Yinzhou and the immigrants of our previous dynasty. Now Yindu is in crisis, we must not sit idly by. Yindu was captured by the colonists, and the commander ordered us to reinforce Yindu for the vanguard. Do you have the confidence to complete the task?"

"Yes!" Zhao Tai and others immediately straightened their backs and responded loudly.

"Okay!" Zhou Bin waved his hand and ordered: "Now I order, let's go!"

Seeing this, Zhao Tai immediately walked to the front of the queue and blew a whistle, "First Team A, turn right and walk in unison!"

There were a series of commands sounding in the queue, and the soldiers of each team turned in an orderly manner, then carried their guns and marched southward.

They walked through the streets of Kingsoft, and Kingsoft's military and civilians quickly stuffed the prepared food into their hands.

Time was urgent, and no soldier only took a bird egg and a bag of corn kernels, and then hurried on the road.

Kingsoft military and civilians felt a sense of security arise when they looked at these well-equipped and well-mannered troops.

Mrs. Zhao and others took the food handed over by the people, and walked while eating.

Liu Zhongxia was worried about the situation in Yindu, so after handing over the matters of Jinshan to his subordinates, he personally served as a guide and took the vanguard to Yindu.

At that time, Jiang Jiaren was afraid that after the road was repaired, the Spaniards would attack along the road, so there was no real road in the area controlled by Xinshang Company.

Yang Shuye is a veteran of Ganjun, Yang Shulin's cousin and Yang Yan's uncle. He has been through war and has extremely rich battlefield experience, but Yinzhou's situation is obviously beyond his understanding.

People cannot imagine things they don’t know or have experienced.

Although Yangshuye has rich experience, he does not know much about Yinzhou's situation.

In his opinion, Yinzhou is probably similar to the Yunnan-Guizhou area, but he doesn't expect that the civilization here is very backward and primitive, and the population is sparsely populated. The entire area is almost undeveloped, and the traffic environment is worse than that in the Yunnan-Guizhou area.

In this way, it was obviously underestimated, and the difficulty of going to Yindu to support it.

Zhou Bin led the vanguard and walked on the rugged path. The difficult road made it very difficult to march.

A few months ago, in order to regain Jinshan, the Xinshang Army opened roads all the way and built bridges across the river, but the population was sparse and no one walked around the road. After a month, it was covered by weeds and thorns, and the bridge was also destroyed by floods.

"Brothers, work harder." Seeing that the team was not fast enough, Zhou Bin stood by the roadside and cheered the soldiers loudly.

The army only brings dry food for three days. If they cannot arrive at Yindu within three days, not only the military and civilians of Yindu will give up Yindu, but the results of four years of business will be destroyed, and they will also have great trouble themselves.

However, mountain roads are difficult to walk, and the soldiers in front of them need to open roads and build bridges when they meet mountains, and they cannot be fast even if they want to.

At this time, when Zhou Bin was anxious, Zhao Tai suddenly came over and saluted: "The commander of the brigade, I have a suggestion to speed up the marching."

Zhou Bin glanced at him, "What's the solution? Tell me quickly!"

"The brothers in front of them were exhausted and cut down trees and built bridges. They soon became tired and their movements slowed down naturally. I suggest dividing the team into three strands and making the way forward alternately." Zhao Tai bowed and said, "This will definitely speed up!"

Zhou Bin was happy when he heard this, "This idea is feasible."

At that moment, he followed Zhao Tai's idea and divided the team into three teams to march.

...

Yin Capital has collapsed in many places under the shelling of colonists.

The Spanish army attacked the city several times, but were forced to withdraw because the defenders in the city were dragged to dark.

During the Battle of Yindu that lasted for more than a month, the two sides repeatedly tug-of-war, and roughly showed that the Spanish attacked during the day and seized the position. At night, the Shang army regained the position with the cover of the night.

However, the equipment gap between the two armies is huge, and after a long time, the Shang army could no longer withstand it.

In the Tibetan Camp, the food and water source had been consumed. Liu Jiqiu had his lips cracked and leaned against the wall of the cave.

Since half a month ago, the Spanish have blocked the connection between the Tibetan Bing Cave and Yindu City.

At first, the Shang army in Yindu City risked their lives to transport materials and reinforcements to the Tibetan camp, but later Yindu City could not hold back, and no reinforcements were sent here now.

In half a month, the materials in the cave were reduced day by day, and now they have run out of ammunition and food.

The morale in the Tibetan soldiers' cave was low, and Liu Jiqiu was cheering up and told the soldiers about the Three Kingdoms. He was talking about Cao Cao's attack on Zhang Xiu, saying that there was a plum tree in front of him, and a soldier suddenly came into the cave.

"General, send a signal in the city and agree to break through the fourth day!"
