At noon on November 21, 1784, the fourth day after Lin Xiaoru took over as head of the family and the seventh day after Lin Xiaohui's martyrdom.

A long dragon is advancing rapidly on the snowy road, stretching for miles, with a huge momentum, and the raccoons patrolling on both sides are occasionally rewarding information.

Looking at all this outside the car, Ding Ying couldn't help but admire Bai Yunhang's wrists were indeed so old that he had nothing to say. Not only did he miraculously mobilize more than 400 large cars, but he also perfectly completed the marshalling of the large cars.

I am well aware of the difficulties of vehicle formation. The large trucks mobilized are large and small, new and old, and the speeds are fast and slow. If I am not careful, there will be delays or even accidents, which will block the entire convoy between the canyons.

But Bai Yunhang only took a few minutes to complete the vehicle. As for the effect, just look at the entire army being back at the fastest speed and you will know.

Looking back, Lin Xiaoru's tender face was still moving with the pace of the car moving, obviously still recalling the scene of the oath-taking meeting four days ago. Thinking about it, thousands of people echoed their voices in unison and were loyal to them. How shocking this would be to a girl who loves fantasy. Thinking of this, I felt a little more caring for Lin Xiaoru.

On the other side, Zhang Ziyin and Bai Yunhang were lying in front of the map together, carefully revising the combat plan. Bai Yunhang would ask from time to time: "Is that OK?"

But no matter what answer Zhang Ziyin gave, Bai Yunhang made a decision immediately after thinking for a while.

Thinking of it, a horse was running quickly from the front and heading to the car. The cavalry on the horse stopped and shouted: "Report to the Chief of the Union! The front team has arrived fifty miles! Lu Biaotong's people reported that the enemy patrol only patrols within five miles outside the city during the day, and only the rafts patrol around the city at night." Fifty miles is a station just fifty miles away from the Milanco County City, hence the name.

Lin Xiaoru has changed her face to a very rigorous face. After hearing the cavalry say it, she shouted: "Good work! Let your team officer give you the merits! After making new merits, I will personally promote you! Then!"

While speaking, a silver embroidered silk bag was thrown out of his hand. The cavalry reached out to catch the bag, saluted a military salute, and left happily.

When Bai Yunhang looked up, he knew that there was not much money in the bag, at most two or three silver coins, but ordinary soldiers could get the first to reward the first army, and their morale would definitely be high. This method is the same as her sister. It seems that the two sisters have the same personality.

At this time, Ding Ying picked up the marching map, looked carefully, and said, "It's already fifty miles away. Vice-Chairman Bai seems to have arrived two hours ago?"

Without waiting for Bai Yunhang to answer, Lin Xiaoru replied for him: "Sister Ding, you are so confused! Vice Chairman Bai is a master of the world, why don't he reserve a few hours to prepare?"

Bai Yunhang was very happy on his face and replied: "Miss II is so talented and not inferior to Miss I at all. My Lin family is expected to grow up! Since I have arrived fifty miles away, I think I would like to assemble the troops as planned to inspire morale. I would like to ask the Second Miss to reward the officers and soldiers with a few silver coins!"

Lin Xiaoru responded "Yes" and said, "All matters of combat will be left to Vice Chairman Bai!"

Bai Yunhang and Zhang Ziyin stood up straight, saluted, then got out of the car and asked the convoy to stop, each riding a horse that had been prepared. Bai Yunhang rode back and forth in the convoy, shouting: "The soldiers are very happy to use their lives. Each of them will reward eight silver coins first! When the county city is recovered, they will be rewarded separately! Those who have made meritorious will be promoted."

Hearing this, the soldiers shouted loudly: "Long live the Second Miss! Long live the Second Miss!" The already quite high morale was inspired again, and it could be said that he was angry!

There are really a lot of eight silver coins. The monthly salary of ordinary soldiers in the Imperial military system is only eight silver coins. The Milanese family is very rich, and the twelve silver coins per month of ordinary soldiers are 50%.

Before leaving, Lin Xiaoru first issued four silver coins and promised to be considered a war from now on, and would be given a double salary. Most ordinary soldiers join the army to make money. Although they can be promoted if they do well, they are just a word "money". Once the war begins, everyone can make a small payment. If the opportunity is good, they can be promoted to a non-commissioned officer or even an officer.

What's more, under Bai Yunhang's deliberate arrangement, brainwashing propaganda was carried out from time to time during the march, and hyped the countless atrocities of the Henry family in the county town, whether true or false, and also revealed the conspiracy to send troops to Grimes to die.

The officers and soldiers served in the 18th Mixed Association for many years, and most of them regarded themselves as branches of the Lin family. In addition, their families lived in the county town, so they might have encountered unexpected problems. They naturally had an irreconcilable hatred with the Henry family. Now every officer and soldier gritted their teeth at the Henry family, and were ready to fight a bloody battle.

This is the extremely famous "Baiyunhang's return to the army", which laid the foundation for the victory of the Lin family in the first Milanko offensive and defensive battle. In the winter of Milanko, several rivers in the territory were frozen and the only way to return to the rescue was to return by land. The 18th Mixed Association had only one team of supplies and fifty large vehicles. Although it was far beyond the line, it was a drop in the bucket for the elite and large amount of supplies of more than 4,000 people. Even if the infantry was lightly equipped, they could only carry less than 800 people.

If most of the infantry are left behind and all the cavalry are brought back to the army, he must face the enemy with the dominant number. In addition, the huge differences in combat power of light infantry. Although Bai Yunhang has the confidence to win, the rise and fall of the Lin family is in one battle and he dare not take risks.

If the infantry waiting for the return on foot, it would be very unfortunate. In such a windy and snowy day, the soldiers were blessed by the cold wind and baggage, and could walk fifty miles a day. Even if they make full use of these big cars, Bai Yunhang believed that he would take at least twelve days to bring his troops to the county town, and this would be an exhausted army. Without two or three days of rest, he would definitely not be able to enter the battle.

If you wait for the first half of the month, everything will be over, and the enemy's reinforcements will surely be continuously invaded, and the Henry family will lay a solid foundation in the county town. Maybe even the Dagalo mining area will be lost, and the Eunta Lin family's goal will definitely be far away.

The area around Buzhou Mountain is deserted and there are no vehicles to use. If this problem is encountered by others, it may be unsolvable.

But Bai Yunhang was different. After receiving Ding Ying's notification, Lin Xiaohui went to Rhodes County to participate in mediation and found that there were signs of mobilization of Henry's family across the border, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He sent Jianqi to the south to the Gallo mining area, mobilized hundreds of large cars to transfer north to Buzhou Mountain, and sent Jianma to chase Lin Xiaohui and his party, but he was one step slower, and Lin Xiaohui had died a day ago.

On the night when Lin Xiaoru ascended the throne, hundreds of large cars finally arrived at Buzhou Mountain after losing nearly half of the damage due to various failures. Bai Yunhang finally completed the vehicle with Zhang Ziyin with his solid tactical skills.

The next day, after the entire army's oath-taking meeting, the entire army, together with the baggage, boarded a large cart, rushed 600 miles for four days and nights, and returned to the county town. Only six large carts were lost in the middle, and seven large carts were abandoned in the fault, leaving four behind.

War historians often call Bai Yunhang's quick return to help a miracle, but how many people know the sweat he has put in behind the scenes.

The Milanco County City is located in the west of Milanco, more than 40 miles away from the border. It was originally an uninhabited area. In the winter of the 1323rd year of the Shenli calendar, Milanco Norman, who was the leader of the seventh town of the empire, was exiled to the extreme north due to defeat and was exiled to the extreme north. The exiled area is today's Milanco County City.

When Milanco and hundreds of exiles saw this deserted land, they were all scared to death. As expected, nearly a hundred people died within a month in the wind and snow.

Fortunately, Milanco, who had been the commander for ten years, still had some money in his hands, so the exiles worked together to build a small village at the cost of the above hundred lives, which was the predecessor of the Milanco County City.

In addition, for more than a hundred years, this place has been a hell for exiles. It was not until around 1500 that the empire expanded northward that it developed into a town of 1,000, but even in 1768 when the Lin family moved in, it was still a small town of 3,000.

However, with the discovery of the Dagalo mining area, the rapid development over the past few years made many people unable to recognize this city. By 1782, the Milanco County City had expanded into a city of 60,000 people, and the development speed could be truly "incredible".

From a military perspective, Milanko is a city hanging on the ice sheet of Milanko University. It has a flat and open terrain, no danger to defend, and is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

As for the defensive facilities, it was even more pitiful. The rapidly expanding Milanco County City originally did not even have a city wall. During the Milanco Civil War, Lin Xiaohui decided to build the city wall, but with the rapid war, it was finally built into a city wall in the south and east. The city wall was only four meters high, and it was thinner that any rushing car could break through the city wall with one impact.

As for the city wall, except for two catapults, towers, arrow towers, stents, and hidden soldiers were missing. If not, Lu Da would not have been able to do anything, but history is always fair. This time Henry's army will be replaced to be responsible for the defense.

8 p.m. outside the county town of Milanco.

Lurking in the birch forest outside the city, Bai Yunhang stared at the neat formation of more than 20 game riders, slowly entering the archer's range.

The reason why the rangers should have dispersed high-speed patrols and gathered together was probably because the weather was too cold. After all, the coldness of Milanco in winter was the best in the world. Compared with Rhodes, it can be seen that it is not only the warmth effect is not good, but it is also very bloated and has very inconvenient movement.

On the other hand, most people wear Audis's leather armor purchased at high prices, which not only has good warmth, but also has free movement of hands and feet, which almost does not affect combat. Apart from the price, there are no other shortcomings.

There were only a few sparse enemy troops patrolling back and forth on the city wall. From the sound, most of the enemy troops hid indoors and drank and had fun.

Through three hours of hard work, Bai Yunhang took advantage of the night to move the troops into this extremely large forest, only two or three hundred steps away from the city gate. Only then did he understand the intention of the young lady to keep this birch forest back then, and to know that her friend was like this throughout her life, so what if she died in battle?

Now the enemy is on guard, and the heavy snow has stopped, the moon is full, and everything in the city is ready. It is the best opportunity to launch an attack. He whispered to Zhang Ziyin on the side: "Is it OK?"

Zhang Ziyin responded, "Make up your mind!" Bai Yunhang is known for his bravery and courage, and his ability to fight. Zhang Ziyin is famous for his calm mind, quick thinking, and wisdom. The two have always cooperated without any problems, and complement each other. Therefore, there is a saying in the army that "Zhang's plan and Bai Jue" is not decided. Whenever Bai Yunhang has a major event, he must first consult Zhang Ziyin's opinion before making up his mind.

Bai Yunhang raised his command knife and waved it, and a cold light flashed. Zhang Ziyin fired the signal flare in his hand. The golden fireworks rose to the sky and spun in the air with a beautiful trajectory.

Hundreds of war bows immediately pulled the strings together, immediately covering the cavalry in the rain of arrows. The cavalry on the horses fell down like puppets falling from the line.

The two teams of infantry guarding the eastern city walls were based on the unified understanding that "the enemy was not in this climate to die" and "even if there was, they were still in Buzhou Mountain", except for a few newcomers who were sent out to patrol, most of the soldiers were guarding the house and drinking and having fun together.

The archers lurking at the city gate immediately pulled the strings and fired volleys. The arrows immediately cut through the sky. The soldiers patrolling the city screamed. Countless arrows shot into their bodies from different angles almost at the same time, and blood splashed around the snow.

The soldiers who were enjoying it heard the continuous screams outside, and the sound of arrows cutting through the sky, stopped their hands, but before they could react, the diffuse target had shifted, and countless arrows shot through the night, causing terrible casualties through the thin paper window.

The team officer stayed for a while before shouting loudly: "Enemy attack!"

Some soldiers hurriedly picked up their weapons and wanted to rush out of the house to organize resistance. As soon as they walked two or three steps, the rain of arrows outside was like a sunny eye, taking away one after another, and the corpses were piled up, and the white snow stained with blood looked particularly red.

The Henry army was forced to retreat into the house again. At this time, two small catapults with already set coordinates were launched together. Two huge snowballs smashed the roof with a loud bang, and together with the large piece of rubble fell from the roof, they pressed the entire infantry into the house.

Only three minutes after the war began, the two infantry teams of Henry's army no longer existed.

Almost at the same time, more than a dozen ladders of the Lin family army had already boarded the short city wall, hundreds of soldiers rushed to climb the ladders, and the city gate was hit hard by the siege camp's rushing car and was directly knocked open.

Bai Yunhang personally led the team to charge, climbed the ladder quickly, and moved extremely quickly. He took the lead in climbing the low-high city wall. He waved his sword and shouted loudly: "Follow me!" The soldiers attacked the city like a tide.

On the other hand, Lu Dabiaotong, who was in the west of the city, always stared at the air. When golden fireworks were set off in the air, he jumped onto his horse and shouted: "Attack!".

After Henry's army entered the city, he did not use part of Lu Da's part. Instead, he and a guard detachment were ordered to station in the west of the city together. The main reason was that Lu Da's subordinates were less than 700, and even less than 500 combatants, and even if he raised an army, it was not a big problem.

However, Lu Da secretly mobilized the first infantry battalion stationed in the outer city to divide it into dozens of batches into the city, and expanded the troops to more than a thousand at once. However, the Mobile Security Detachment was not blind, so he discovered it and strengthened his vigilance.

The number of personnel of a mobile security detachment is equivalent to a reinforced battalion, with about 800 people, but the combat power is difficult to guarantee. Generally speaking, the security detachment is responsible for public security, law enforcement and other work, and is not responsible for combat operations. However, in order to deal with the special situation where some ordinary security detachments cannot be solved, but do not use the army, each county will form a mobile security detachment.

During wartime, mobile security detachments are often organized into the army and are responsible for some auxiliary combat operations, such as sweeping guerrillas in the rear, and they do not fight directly on the front line. In most cases, these security forces have a very low regular combat power and their extremely cruelty to enemy civilians. Of course, there are a few exceptions.

The camp of the Mobile Security Detachment was next to the Luda Second Specimen Headquarters. The sharp-eyed guards also discovered abnormalities in the air. In addition to the previous abnormal movements of neighbors, a sharp whistle sounded soon, trying to assemble the troops first.

But it was too late to take heavy infantry as the axis, light infantry was responsible for both wings, and archers were the rear squad. Lu Da invested a complete infantry battalion and launched a ruthless attack on the security detachment.

The security detachment, which had not yet been assembled, was forced to respond hastily, and the two streams of people collided directly, but before this, the archers' diffusing had caused dozens of casualties.

At this time, the Lin family relied on the equipment advantages formed by Dagalo's rich minerals, which were fully revealed in the battle.

Since the Ghana Royal restricted the Milanko regular army from being able to maintain the size of the first battalion, after repeated negotiations, the scale of one mixed association and another independent garrison battalion was finally retained.

Although the 18th Mixed Association is already seriously overcompliant, Milano is located in the far north with a small population, and mining requires a lot of labor, so recruiting is relatively difficult. Lin Xiaohui is determined to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers.

Relying on the huge annual income of Milan's Corin family in Dagalore, the equipment purchase fee of the 18th Mixed Association alone exceeds 20,000 gold coins, or 2 million silver coins, which is more than the military expenditure of a miscellaneous town for the whole year.

Lin Xiaohui has always spared no money when purchasing equipment, just like the two wings are light infantry, but the protective power of the earth dragon leather armor on them is far greater than that of ordinary leather armor and close to the protection level of heavy armor infantry. The heavy armor on the heavy infantry is also the original heavy armor imported by the Lot Empire, with excellent defense. For example, the swords and shields imported by Gemiris are all top-notch.

The biggest disadvantage of all this is the high price, but the Lin family has a lot of money to waste.

Not only that, the fighting skills of both sides are far apart, and all of this creates a one-sided situation.

The heavy infantry set up a major war shield on the enemy. The long sword of the guards slammed the war shield, but it was useless. However, before the guards attempted to launch a new wave of attacks, the heavy infantry team launched a ruthless counterattack. After the soldiers in the back team used various heavy weapons to counterattack, a guard was cut into two pieces with the sound of bone cracking. The broken leather armor fluttered in the wind, and the broken corpse was flying in the air with the radiant blood. The same situation continued to reappear in the heavy infantry team.

In front of the light infantry team on both wings, the guards suffered heavy losses. Although they did not have the heavy war shields as heavy infantry teams, they were wearing ground dragon leather armor and were extremely outstanding in mobility. Facing the bloated clothes, the long swords and scimitars in their hands were in and out from time to time, and with their superb mechanic skills and screams, they taught the guards a bloody lesson.

The archers in the back team seemed meaningless to diffuse, drew beautiful arcs one after another, taking away one life after another.

The mobile guards with only leather armor were no match for the regular army at all. One after another, the bodies of guards fell down on the snow, and soon all turned into hopeless suicide. In just five minutes of the battle, the casualties of the guards detachment exceeded 200.

Lu Dabiaotong sighed and said to himself in a voice he could only hear: "It's a unilateral massacre! It's really boring to fight against such an opponent!"

"Attack the right wing!"

As soon as Lu Da finished speaking, the voice of the enemy commander sounded. It was obvious that he attempted to concentrate his troops to attack the slightly injured and injured right wing, break one wing in one fell swoop, and then break the middle wing, thereby turning the situation around.

"Everything is expected. Will there be no new plot?" Even though you have such an idea, you can think about it in your heart.

With a wave of Lu Dabiao's command knife, while the opponent attempted to change the formation, the central wing and the left wing decisively launched an attack. The heavy infantry in the central wing directly attacked the middle of the enemy, causing a large amount of blood loss from the enemy. The blood immediately dyed the snow red. What's more serious is that the formation of the guard team had almost completely collapsed.

Faced with the dispersed formation, the enemy commander shouted "Retreat!" and attempted to retreat and reorganize the formation, but the enemy's retreat quickly turned into a defeat, and the troops almost lost command. Only the scattered arrows and the flying swords would cause some damage. In this case, the diffused arrows brought more astonishing damage, and made the morale of the guards even more depressed.

But considering the revenge they would receive when they did, the guards were forced to continue to resist. In the bloody rain, only half of the guards could retreat into a large house in the middle of the camp and rely on the house to defend themselves. In the ten minutes of the battle, the guards died only about 300 people in battle, and the other side was killed by less than 30 people, and only 60 injured.

"The enemy is here to help!"

Nearly a thousand infantrymen were running in the distant streets, with neat military appearances and still maintaining a nearly perfect formation during high-speed movement.

Lu Da looked at the enemy reinforcements coldly, picked up the command knife, and smiled: "Have you just arrived? What a group of idiots! The next thing is left to Yunhang!"

He shouted: "The First Battalion is ready!" The first battalion, which was originally short of a light infantry team, immediately entered the battlefield. After temporarily using the personnel from the headquarters to supplement the troops, the department recovered its vitality and directly blocked the enemy's way forward.
To be continued...
