This group of bandits is very tenacious. Even in the midst of defeat, some bandits still turned around and tried to fight. These bandits were far away from Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers. They fought invincible all over Shandong and were finally defeated by Liaodong cavalry. They were defeated at this moment, and some soldiers were very angry.

But those who turned around and tried to fight were stabbed to the ground with one shot.

More bandits are running!

Even if they swept through Shandong, they would not be able to change their nature. When they encounter defeat, they will survive by running away.

More than a thousand bandits ran around the ground, and soon they had spread out into dozens of tributaries. Zhao Yong divided up a bandit who was chasing and fleeing, and he led a company of soldiers to the mountain village.

The capture of more than 2,000 bandits must be relatively rich.

Lin Yi divided the cavalry in his hand into groups of five and began to chase the fleeing bandits everywhere.

Amid the shouts of kneeling and not killing, some bandits saw that they could not escape, and immediately knelt on the ground to beg for surrender. The auxiliary soldiers of the shaft-heavy company quickly followed and controlled the prisoners, while the cavalry continued to arrest people.

The battle lasted for two hours before it ended. Rows of captives were dejectedly tied with their hands, looking at these enemies of unknown origin in front of them with nervousness.

Zhao Yong seized 4,000 taels of silver, 500 taels of gold, more than 1,000 stones of grain, as well as pearls, silk, and livestock in the mountain village. He also found a thousand kilograms of Fran machine cannon.

Afterwards, more than 500 levels of beheading were beheaded and 1,000 bandits were captured. The bandit leader was killed in the battle, and hundreds of others were on the run.

Eleven people were killed in battle, twenty-three people were injured, and seven were seriously injured.

When summarizing the experience in the evening, Li Shenxing wrote: "On the sixth day of the second month, a group of Kong Youde's troops who gathered on the hills were defeated. After the battle between the two sides, due to the lack of melee forces, they could not stop the enemy's troops in time, and the lack of armor caused eleven people to be killed..."

A relatively perfect victory also verified the effectiveness of these hard training teams.

After destroying this group of largest bandits, Zhao Yong also found out the combat effectiveness of these bandits. In order to speed up the bandit suppression, he decided to separate the bandits and divide the team into two parts.

...

When Zhao Yong was suppressing bandits outside, Zhao Yan had already brought the fortress building on the desk.

At present, the kiln has been built very large, and blue bricks are continuously produced every day, and these blue bricks are strictly manufactured.

In order to better save your life in this dangerous era, building a fort is definitely necessary, and at least it can be invincible by the fortress battle.

Due to Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of "building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king", it continued later. The Ming court built many walls, and the walls of almost every county town were good, and the long Ming Great Wall was built.

The strategy of blocking nomadic peoples in this way can be said to be relatively correct. Nomadic peoples lack siege equipment and cannot occupy the city, so naturally they will not cause too much trouble.

The environment in the late Ming Dynasty changed. The first was military abandonment and people's hearts were fluctuating, which led to the low defense efficiency of the defending personnel. In addition, the Qing Dynasty captured a large number of people as their serfs and had entered a semi-agricultural society. In addition, there were many Ming court craftsmen at hand, and the ability to siege cities increased greatly.

In addition to the Qing Dynasty's cannon fodder tactics, many cities were captured by them wherever the Qing Dynasty passed.

The so-called cannon fodder tactic is to drive Mongolian and Han soldiers to take the lead, and they just hide behind to rob and drive away cannon fodder.

The premise of this cannon fodder tactic is that the Ming Dynasty would have fallen, otherwise the Qing Dynasty would not have received so much cannon fodder.

If a strict defense system can be established, the Qing Dynasty will have to collapse a tooth every time it kills, then it will undoubtedly be invincible.

Therefore, it is obviously necessary to build a fortress by yourself.

The fortress Zhao Yan was going to build would naturally not be a square city wall, but a castle that could withstand artillery attacks to a certain extent and defend without blind spots.

Zhao Yan has no experience in casting a bastion, but has studied the French Vaubon 1 style defense system. He still knows the key points of the Vaubon 1 style bastion.

The bastion is currently the most powerful fortification in the world. The firearms troops can resist ten times the enemy's troops with the help of the bastion. The traditional cold weapon troops can also resist more than five times the enemy. When the Qing Dynasty fought with Tsarist Russia, in a bastion in the northeast, only a few hundred Tsarist Russian troops defended the attack of tens of thousands of Qing troops. In the end, they surrounded them for several months, and they surrendered after they had run out of ammunition and food.

The cement factory made a large amount of cement and the kiln also made a lot of bricks. Zhao Yanhua designed three bastions based on the terrain, all of which belong to the Vaubon 1 type bastion type.

The city wall of Zhaojiabao is six meters high, five meters thick, and five convex surfaces, and is in the shape of an irregular octagonal star. The distances of these convex surfaces are designed according to the distance of the range of the musket 150 meters.

The prism does not need to be built too high, mainly to prevent being bombarded by enemy artillery. At the same time, the convex design makes the shells slip easily.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is artillery. The musket will form a firepower net. When the enemy attacks any surface, it will be attacked by more than two surfaces, making the enemy unable to get close to the city wall, so there is no question that the city wall is too short and can easily be climbed up.

This design also appears on the Great Wall, but it is not as thorough as the bastion.

The city wall adopts a soil-covered structure, with loess and debris in the middle, and blue bricks on both sides of the inside and outside, and then poured with cement.

At present, most of the city walls built by the Ming Dynasty have this kind of solidified material made of soil-covered structure, bricks are wrapped inside and outside, and glutinous rice juice is poured with lime.

Zhao Yan replaced that thing with cheaper cement.

Glutinous rice juice and lime are something stronger than cement. Later generations once tomb robbers used gunpowder to explode the tomb. As a result, the amount of medicine used was larger than that of each time, but they all returned in vain. The ancient tomb was mixed with glutinous rice juice and made of three soil.

Although the mixing of glutinous rice juice and lime is higher than that of cement, the cost of using glutinous rice juice to repair the city wall is a bit high. Zhao Yan felt that it was not very cost-effective, and he was so stingy that he was a little bit stingy. Although using cement was a little worse, it was okay!

If the enemy uses cannons to blew the wall, they can repair another one behind.

It mainly depends on the strength of the blue bricks.

The strength of blue bricks and red bricks is similar, but blue bricks are artificially cooled, so they are not completely oxidized. They are stronger than red bricks in terms of anti-oxidation, hydration, and atmospheric erosion, so they have become the material for building city walls.

For example, the city walls of the capital city have the name of the kiln. If there is a quality problem, it will be easy to be accountable. This quality problem is naturally in terms of anti-oxidation, atmospheric erosion, and hydration.

As for the whole wall, let’s wait! This thing is not that simple. He is not a civil engineering project. Now he can only use existing technology to build walls.

The refugees gathered in Zhaojiabao had reached a terrifying number of 15,000. Zhao Yan took out the plan to build the fort and started construction immediately under his command.

The most important thing in this fortification building is to determine the various systems of the defense system. Only when it is absolutely necessary will you consider fighting fortresses with the enemy.
