After retreating to the former stronghold where the officers and soldiers of Wanling County were located, Li Changxian took a long breath. The rebels did not catch up with him, and he felt lucky.

If you don't retreat, if you are ambushed by the rebels at night, even if there are artillery in Wanling County, you will not be able to resist the rebels' crazy attack.

If the rebels didn't chase him, it must be the trap he designed to work on. I just don't know if the rebels were in trouble?

"Do you think the rebels hate me?"

Li Changxian said to Li Changyuan who was running away with him. After all, setting up such a sinister trap is too inhumane for the rebels.

"Hate, you will definitely hate it!"

Li Changyuan answered without hesitation, just like when he hated Li Changxian when he was young, even he wanted to beat Li Changxian hard when he did in the Li Mansion in the capital, and sometimes he hated him so much that he was itchy.

But I am old and think of how childish and ridiculous the things I did when I was a child, now I am just smiling and waving my grudges.

"Okay, it's right to make the rebels hate me so much. We must make the rebels remember me. It's better not to cause trouble for me in our lifetime!"

Li Changxian spoke arrogantly, as if he was not afraid of the rebels coming to Wanling County to take revenge.

Li Changyuan asked: "Brother, how do you deal with the rebels' attack next?"

Li Changxian smiled and said, "The mountain man has his own tricks, so you don't have to worry about it. I'll show you a big killer tomorrow!"

Before this, Li Changxian needed to hand over the batch of Modao to Abuda and let him form a group of Modao Army as soon as possible. Although the effect is not great in a short period of time, the Modao Army brought great shock in the battle between the two armies, and it is often the key to the victory or defeat in a battle.

"Okay, I'm also curious about the big killing weapon you mentioned."

Li Changyuan doesn't care. Since he has followed Li Changxian here, he can't go back now. It's better to follow Li Changxian than to be in Lingnan Prefecture City.

The next morning, there was a loud drum sound in Daying, Wanling County, which woke Li Changxian who was sleeping, mainly because it was too late to end the conversation last night.

"Young Master, no, the rebels are here!"

Li Changxian was shocked after hearing this. He didn't bother to wash up, so he hurriedly ran outside the military tent. On the way, he met Li Changyuan, who was also getting up late. The two looked at each other and smiled and headed to the front line together.

Before Li Changxian could reach the frontier position, Dong Shucheng and others stopped him, asked him to retreat temporarily, and explained to him: "As soon as the rebels arrived at the position, they attacked our position like crazy. Fortunately, Commander A was prepared and strengthened his defense at the frontier position last night.

Now the first wave of attacks of the rebels have just been repelled, but later the rebels have started attacking again."

Li Changxian was also very surprised. When the two armies fought, did they set up their own formations first and then launched an attack? Why did the rebels suddenly change their minds and start attacking without waiting for the army to arrive?

"Since we can't reach the frontier position, let's go to the high hill to take a look!"

Li Changxian invited Li Changyuan and others to climb to the height of the hill together. Although the hill was slightly higher than other places, it was too far away.

Li Changyuan muttered, "This is too far away, and I can't see the situation of the war."

But no one paid attention to him, and took out a cylinder from his arms one by one, put it on his eyes and looked back and forth in the distance.

"What is this?"

Li Changyuan found that among the people who followed, he and a few guards, and the others were all one.

Seeing Li Changyuan's embarrassment, Li Zhu quickly handed the telescope in his hand to Li Changyuan and said with a smile: "Second Young Master, I forgot to prepare it for you!"

Li Changyuan snatched it viciously and said, "Li Zhu, you are not forgetting, but taking revenge on me, then I have confiscated this thing!"

No longer looking at Li Zhu's face, Li Changyuan hurriedly put the telescope in front of him. Both sides fighting in front appeared clearly in front of Li Changyuan, and even saw the rebel flags and the angry rebel generals in the rear.

"This is a good thing!"

While Li Changyuan checked back and forth with Li Changxian and the others, he was amazed.

After checking, Li Changxian handed the telescope in his hand to Li Changyuan's guards and asked them to take a look.

"Mr. Dong, what do you think of the rebels' attack?"

Dong Shucheng put down the telescope in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Following the rebels' attack posture, we will be in vain with the officers and soldiers of Wanling County this time. If all the rebels' troops arrive, we will be under great pressure!"

"Yes, although we captured more than 80,000 rebels, the elite of the rebels are still there." Li Changxian sighed and then asked: "How many warriors from the tribe came yesterday?"

Dong Shucheng replied: "Five or six thousand people came yesterday, but Lord Zhang does not recommend sending so many troops to fight the rebels. I am afraid he is worried that the rear of Wanling County is too much pressure.

If the more than 80,000 rebels launched a riot in Wanling County, the less than 10,000 troops and some people who voluntarily assisted in the war would not be able to suppress the riots of so many people."

Li Changxian was silent. It was probably their limit to the indigenous tribes in Wanling County who could send these five or six thousand warriors.

Although nearly 20,000 rebels were recruited last year, and many people had joined Wanling County, and some even had land allocated for good performance, if they were asked to fight against the rebels, they would not feel relieved even if they were not feeling well.

Li Changxian said: "So, the total number of troops in our Wanling County is less than 40,000."

"Yes!" Dong Shucheng was also silent. Even though the rebels suffered a lot of losses the day before yesterday, they still had 70,000 or 80,000 elite troops, and nearly 100,000 other logistics personnel, if they attacked Lingnan Prefecture City, the nearly 40,000 officers and soldiers of Wanling County could not withstand the rebels' attacks one after another.

"Young Master, the only way now is to organize the employees hired by Wanling County merchants and distribute them some weapons so that they can replace the tired officers and soldiers."

"Okay, that's all!"

Li Changxian was also helpless. The lack of military strength allowed the officers and soldiers of Wanling County to be passively defended. Fortunately, the terrain in the Lingnan area was complex, hilly and rugged. Moreover, the camps chosen by Abuda and others were good, which were easy to defend but difficult to attack. The rebels were not convenient for the army to suppress, so they could only send some rebels to attack in turn.

Li Changxian asked again, "Have the cannons arranged?"

Dong Shucheng smiled and said, "It was already arranged when he came back last night, but Commander A did not agree with using cannons early, and planned to let the officers and soldiers of Wanling County resist for a while and hone the blood of the soldiers.

When the war between the two sides is in a state of intense heat, if the artillery is fired, it will definitely destroy the rebels' will to attack."

After hearing what Dong Shucheng said, Li Changxian also knew that Abuda and others had already made plans for how to defend against the rebels' attack, so he did not interfere.

"Changyuan, I'll take you to see the big killing weapon in Wanling County!"

Li Changxian greeted Li Changyuan, who was still looking at the distance with a telescope, and said to him: "If you want this little thing in the future, just ask Li Zhu for it. This is made by him and others."

Now, the Hope Glasses produced by Li Zhu and his friends have increased significantly with the outbreak of the war, and they have also produced two versions for military and civilian versions according to Li Changxian's wishes. No matter which version is loved by the people of Wanling County.
