Jin Shengheng, who faced off against Jiang Yingjie, was not an unknown person in history. He was once one of Zuo Liangyu's most respected generals. We must be cautious when dealing with such a person who is experienced in battle.

Soon, hundreds of cavalrymen left the border of Pizhou and entered Suqian.

Most of the villages on both sides of the road are deserted, and in a small number of villages, when they hear the sound of horse hooves, the villagers panic and hide in hidden places.

Whether it is thieves or soldiers crossing the border, it is a disaster for these villages.

When Feng Yuan saw this, he could only sigh in his heart. Dynasties were in turmoil, societies were changing, and there was no pure land in the world.

According to the law of dynasty changes, when land is annexed to the extreme, chaos will break out. Only when most of the people in the world are killed and excess land is available can land conflicts be alleviated and the next dynasty reincarnation begins.

But, why should the living people deserve it?

Those who annexed the land were all landlords, officials and gentry. Even if they entered the new dynasty, they would be regarded as the foundation of the country and would still exist. Ordinary people were the targets of annexation, but after losing everything, they had to go through wars and be killed, and their lives were not guaranteed.

.

It is said in the Taoist Scriptures that the way of heaven is more than enough to make up for the damage, and the way of man is not enough to make up for the damage. This is how it is said.

The more powerful a person is, if they want to maintain a high-ranking life, they must squeeze the people below and seize the resources for ordinary people to survive.

This is true no matter what era.

Feng Yuan can't do much now. The most he can do is restrain his soldiers and not disturb the people in these villages.

If you can defeat the enemy without disturbing the people or looting, in the late Ming Dynasty, you will be a true army of kings!

"My young prince, thirty miles ahead is our army's camp! Jin Shengheng's army is now besieging the wall..."

While the cavalry was galloping, the night ahead kept turning and reported the latest situation.

When everyone heard the news, their expressions became solemn.

"Jiang Qianhu's 4,000 troops, including 1,000 gunmen, rely on the stronghold wall for defense. It will not be so easy for Jin Shengheng's 30,000 troops to break through!"

Feng Yuan glanced at him and suddenly laughed, with a look of full confidence in Jiang Yingjie, which immediately made everyone around him feel at ease.

Although he has little experience in commanding troops in combat, as a superior, the most important thing is to be calm, to be able to make the mountain collapse in front without changing its appearance, and the elk rise to the left without blinking.

As long as he can do this, the people who follow him will be confident. If he shows worry, the people below will also become uneasy.

"Give me my order and hurry up. Zhao Heng, take Ye Bushuang as a sentinel to explore the road ahead and kill the enemy when you encounter them, turning Jin Shengheng into a deaf and blind man!"

Feng Yuan looked calm and gave instructions casually.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Zhao Heng looked solemn, pulled his whip, and immediately led more than thirty of the most elite riders, divided into umbrella shapes and galloped forward.

Nowadays, all the elite masters of the evil tiger village have been recruited by Feng Yuan. The ones who stay in the village in Shandong are Hu Liusheng and some gang members who are not very good at martial arts.

There are thousands of people in the village, and among them there are dozens who have reached the third-rate level in martial arts.

After these people are organized into cavalry, although they cannot enforce the same orders and prohibitions as other cavalry, it is no small matter just by relying on individual force. This kind of cavalry is most suitable for serving as sentinels and spying at night.

With these cavalry around, they were strangling Jin Shengheng's Tanma. It was like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer and capturing them with ease.

Of course, Jin Shengheng's 30,000-strong army must have a lot of scouting horses. Zhao Heng and his men can only kill some of them. As time goes by, the other party will get the news.

Feng Yuan didn't expect to be able to hide it from the opponent for long, as long as he could avoid the opponent's probing horse and reach the surrounding area where the two armies were fighting.

After Zhao Heng led the cavalry out, Feng Yuan and the remaining cavalry increased their speed, trampling the ground with their horse hooves, and quickly approached Jiang Yingjie's camp.

…

kill!

On the ground, a relatively simple military stronghold stood beside the hillside, and thousands of people formed an array along the military stronghold.

Opposite the military stronghold, flags were fluttering, and it was so dark that it seemed like you couldn't see the edge.

It is said that once there are more than 10,000 people, there is no limit, but there are 30,000 people on the opposite side, like the sea, divided into three sides and surrounded by generals' strongholds.

These 30,000 people were the troops of Jin Shengheng who was stationed in Suqian. The ones who erected the wall were naturally the pro-military left guard led by Jiang Yingjie.

On both sides of the camp, there were more than a thousand officers and soldiers wearing thin uniforms, carrying swords, shields, and spears, shouting and rushing towards the camp.

As they charged forward, the archers behind them also fired arrows at the village wall to cover the attack of these soldiers.

Whoosh whoosh!

Arrows rained down from the sky, piercing the air, and then landed on top of the military stronghold.

"Raise your shield!"

boom!

The swordsmen and shieldmen in front of the village wall raised their shields at the same time. The arrows fell on the shields, making a shivering sound, and a small number of arrows penetrated through the gaps and shot hard into the swordsmen and shieldmen.

Accompanied by screams in twos and threes, more than a dozen people rolled and fell to the ground. People nearby quickly dragged them away to prevent them from disturbing the array.

After the rain of arrows, more than a thousand Suqian soldiers, with nervous and frightened expressions on their faces, were surrounded by the crowd and rushed towards the wall madly.

Since Jiang Yingjie had not been here long, the wall he erected was relatively simple, only as high as one person, and could barely be considered a barrier.

There is no need for siege equipment or ladders at all. As long as the enemy soldiers make a leap, they may be able to climb over the wall.

Jiang Yingjie didn't put his hope on the wall.

He held the handle of the knife at his waist and looked at the more than a thousand officers and soldiers rushing towards him, with a cold look on his face.

In front of him, a thousand fire gunners had been divided into three teams and arranged on three sides of the village wall.

"put!"

When these officers and soldiers rushed forward, Baihu, who was in charge of commanding the gunmen, gave a sharp shout, and then the gunpowder turned into white smoke. The officers and soldiers who rushed forward felt like they were hit by a heavy hammer. With a bang, a person appeared on his body.

Big hole.

These people fell to the ground with shrill screams. After one round of fire cannon fire, nearly a hundred soldiers fell.

"Put it back!"

The gunman took the loaded gun, followed the order, and fired again!

In less than a moment, hundreds of people arrived in front of the wall, and more than a thousand officers and soldiers were shot to pieces with fire cannons. When these people saw the fire cannons behind the wall, they trembled all over and did not dare to charge forward.

However, as soon as these people stopped, a second wave of officers and soldiers came forward from behind. Among them, the elite servants responsible for supervising the battle took sharp swords and beheaded the soldiers who dared to retreat.

Forced by the supervising team behind them, the soldiers in front could only let out inhuman shouts and charge forward again.

"A bunch of rabble!"

When Jiang Yingjie saw this scene, he sneered. The soldiers in front were nominally officers and soldiers, but in fact, not long ago, they were still ordinary and strong regiments.
Chapter completed!
