Unfortunately, before the Fan family compound was fully expanded, they encountered the Tartars entering Shandong. Who in Shandong didn’t know about the Tartars’ brutality? When the Tartars came, they did not dare to stay in Huang County, and they did not know where to hide. So, the Fan family compound was cheaper than Zhang Zhun.

Considering that Fan Fucui retired in the future and wanted to live in Huang County, the Fan family specially built a Yunfeng residence. It was gorgeous, spacious, grand and magnificent, and had the taste of the prime minister's residence. In fact, in real history, Fan Fucui did succeed Xue Guoguan as the chief minister of the cabinet, so it was not an exaggeration to call him the prime minister. Zhang Zhun's command center was set up in this Yunfeng residence.

Dong Shuyan walked around the Yunfengju and found that there were actually twenty or thirty rooms inside, which were neat and quiet, spacious and bright. She couldn't help but say to herself: "You are so lucky, there is such a place to settle for you in the war."

Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "If you are envious, you will come and live too, let's live together!"

Dong Shuyan's face turned red immediately, then became cold and spat: "You are a person who is not serious. Be careful that I will poison your meal!"

Zhang Zhun said without any mind: "It will be of no benefit to you if you poison me to death. Besides, it is not easy to poison me now."

Dong Shuyan frowned and said, "I'm not crazy with you. I'm going back. I'm going back and think about my mistakes behind closed doors. See you in a month."

After saying that, he waved his hand casually and left.

Zhang Zhun remembered that Xu Qingluan wanted to keep her for a month and did not allow her to come out, so she couldn't help but shake her head. This pair of masters and apprentices was really different. When she thought of Sun Weina's affairs, she was a little amused and crying. She didn't know how far their pair of false phoenixes have developed.

"Liu Mang."

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhun shouted.

"arrive!"

Liu Mang hurried in.

"You go and notify the people on the list one by one and come to Huangxian as soon as possible."

Zhang Zhun handed Liu Mang a list.

"clear!"

Liu Mang agreed to go.

"Brother Wei!"

Zhang Zhun shouted again.

"arrive!"

Brother Wei hurried in.

"How many people do you call me to inform Chuangziying, Jieziying, Lieziying, Lieziying, and Artillery Battalion, and order them to quickly arrive in Huangxian County to gather at the speed of a rapid march."

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.

"clear!"

Brother Wei hurried to go.

"Lu Yidian!"

Zhang Zhun continued to shout.

"arrive!"

Lu Yidian hurried in.

"You go and urge Wang Mingyu to deliver 500 stones of food to Huang County as soon as possible!"

Zhang Zhun said calmly.

"clear!"

Lu Yidian went there hurriedly.

"Sun Jiming!"

Zhang Zhun continued.

...

As war horses continued to leave the Fan family compound and galloped towards Laizhou Prefecture, Zhang Zhun's orders were transmitted to various departments of Laizhou Prefecture one by one. A large number of troops, materials and personnel gathered in Huangxian.

The entire Hu Ben Army immediately started running at high speed. The first one to move was the Kengzi Camp stationed in Laizhou City. The commander of the Kengzi Camp was Yang Qianqiang. Geographically speaking, the Kengzi Camp was the closest to Huang County. After receiving the order, he hurriedly took the Kengzi Camp and traveled day and night to Huang County. Three days later, the front troops of the Kengzi Camp arrived in Huang County.

Then the vanguards of the vanguard, Jiezi Bing, and Liezi Bing also arrived one after another. Two days later, the follow-up troops also arrived. Of course, the artillery battalion's movements were slower. However, Liu Chenzi and the vanguards also arrived quickly. He heard that they were going to fight against the Tartars, so all the troops of the Hu Ben Army did not dare to neglect them, and they marched quickly along the way.

After Liu Chenzi arrived in Huang County, he immediately went to the city wall according to Zhang Zhun's arrangement and arranged artillery positions. After the artillery battalion was expanded, there were a total of five teams, totaling twenty-five flying dragon cannons. For the small Huang County, arranging twenty-five flying dragon cannons was enough.

"Keng's character camp, defending the east gate."

"Jieziying, defending the north gate, draw a team to serve as a reserve team."

"Liezi Camp, defending the south gate, draw a team to serve as a reserve team."

"Chuangzizhan, send a small team to defend the West Gate, and the other troops serve as reserves."

Zhang Zhun quickly arranged the defensive areas of four battalions.

Four battalions have about 2,500 troops. This is a very powerful defense force. Except for the Keng Battalion, all other troops have sufficient reserves. The reserve team has a total of nineteen small teams, more than one thousand. With such a strong force, even if the Tartars arrive, there is nothing scary.

As the general reserve team of combat, of course there are three cavalry battalions. The three cavalry battalions are all stationed in Mating Town near Huang County, and can reinforce Huang County at any time. If the small Tatars troops try to bypass Huang County infiltration, the cavalry battalions can directly intercept and annihilate them. With Huang County here, the large Tatars troops will definitely not be able to come.

With the troops of the seven battalions of the Hu Ben Army, it is enough to defend Huang County. Of course, defending Huang County is not Zhang Zhun's goal. The most important thing is to consume the Tartars' vitality here. Don't the Tartars really want to enter the inland of Ming through Shandong? Then let's go! As long as you can take Huang County, the rich Ming Inland will be the target of your Tartars' looting!

The number of Tartars is limited, one less death, and ten less deaths. As long as the number of Tartars is consumed to a certain extent, it will be difficult for the Tartars to support it in Shandong. Similarly, the more Tartars were killed in Shandong, the smaller the resistance they encountered when the Tiger Army attacked Liaodong in the future. On the contrary, the Han soldiers were endless. The Han people may lack anything, but there was no shortage of population. The population of Laizhou Prefecture alone was comparable to the total population of the Tartars.

With Zhang Zhun's order, a large amount of ammunition and logistics supplies were also transported to Huang County. The road from Laizhou City to Huang County through Zhaoyuan was basically smooth. The grain from the summer harvest could be transported just in time. Liu Hang personally escorted 500 stones of grain. The Hu Ben Army defenders in Huang County had about 2,500 people, and 500 stones of grain could basically last for half a month. More grain would be delivered in the future.

Two days later, all the twenty-five cannons of the artillery battalion finally arrived. All the cannons were immediately pulled to the top of the city wall and ready for battle. The east side was the main area of ​​the battle, so the most cannons were naturally arranged. In the end, sixteen cannons were arranged on the city wall of the east gate. Only three were arranged in each direction.

"Yulin, we are here!"

Arriving with the Artillery Battalion were Mao Shunjiang, Chen Guoxi, Shi Zhenshan and other old men, as well as the 1,000 civilians they brought. It was precisely with their strong help that the Artillery Battalion could quickly bring all the cannons to Huangxian.

After receiving Zhang Zhun's order, several people immediately mobilized the civilians to set out from Laizhou City, traveled day and night, and arrived in Huang County within a few days. They also brought a considerable amount of cement. To build strong fortifications, cement is essential.

"You guys are here!"

"When you come, the Tartars are completely helpless!"

Zhang Zhun said with a confident smile.

“All the foremen come here.”

"I'll tell you about the construction plan."

Zhang Zhun continued.

Mao Shunjiang, Chen Guoxi, Shi Zhenshan and other old men, as well as various foremen, all came to Zhang Zhun. Although they were very tired after rushing for a long distance, they all seemed very excited. Because, this time, the Hu Ben Army was solidly working with a large number of Tartars. They had to contribute every bit of their strength to defeating the Tartars.

What Zhang Zhun needed to build was a military cave. The military cave was a very ancient defensive facility. It was usually dug a hole in the city wall and then hid people inside. In this way, even if the enemy kept smashing stones or something, the people hiding inside were fine. Now everyone no longer needed a catapult, but they all used cannons. The structure and style of the military cave in Huang County had also changed. What the military cave in Huang County had to resist was naturally the Red Barbarian cannons of the Tartars.

The range of the flying dragon cannon is farther than that of the ordinary Folang cannon. If the enemy is carrying the ordinary Folang cannon, Huangxian doesn’t need to worry at all. Just shoot directly against the enemy. What Zhang Zhun needs to worry about is the Red Barbarian cannon of the Tartars. Compared with the Red Barbarian cannon, the range and power of the Flying Dragon cannon are not at the same level.

With the experience of later generations, Zhang Zhun's intention was very simple. When the Tatars' Red Barbarian Cannon was fired, the soldiers of the Tiger Army hid in the Tibetan military cave to avoid being damaged by grape bullets. When the enemy came up, they would go out from the Tibetan military cave to counterattack. This would greatly reduce casualties. When the enemy rushed up, the Tatars' Red Barbarian Cannon must extend the range or simply stop shooting. At that time, the Tiger Army immediately went out from the Tibetan military cave, and a fierce musket could give the enemy a blow.

The project is very simple and has no technical content. It is built behind the city wall with stone, cement and steel bars. The key is to be fast and strong. This is not a big problem for Mao Shunjiang and others. Because of the expansion project of the Fan Family Courtyard, the Fan Family hoarded a large amount of construction materials in Huang County. When the Fan Family escaped, they naturally would not take away these materials. Therefore, the bricks and stones that were originally used to build houses were used to build Tibetan Bing Caves.

Judging from the situation where Ye Bucheng sent it, the Tartars had not yet moved. Every day, Zhang Zhun routinely went to the city to observe the movements and quiets in the east, but also supervised the construction of the Tibetan Bing Cave. This structure without any technical content was actually very fast. Soon, the twenty large Tibetan Bing Cave behind the East Gate wall were completed.

These hidden soldiers are actually hollow houses with concrete structures. The brick walls are very strong and a thick protective layer is built on them. On the protective layer are thick soil. The function of the soil is to absorb the kinetic energy of the marbles. The solid bullets of the Red Cannon cannot hit the back of the city wall. The key grape bullets shot from the Red Cannon cannon. As long as they can block the bombing of the grape bullets, the soldiers hiding inside will be safe and sound.

"Sir, the enemy of Dengzhou City has been dispatched."
