Amid the sound of war drums with neat rhythm, the soldiers of Tianwei Camp held sharp blades and covered in silver-white chain mail, and directly pressed towards the rioters. Their speed was very fast, and their pace changed with the sound of drums. They accelerated and rushed up shortly after they stepped out of the front.

Zhou Shixian watched the battle between the two armies on the hillside less than two miles away, and his belief in his heart became even stronger - these insects could not save the Ming Dynasty.

These Ming army soldiers were killed and injured by muskets, and more than a dozen people were shot by arrows before, with nearly 20% casualties. The so-called formation and morale had collapsed. Faced with the attack of fully armed warriors in Tianwei Camp, they had no power to fight back.

They never thought that the Liu Zeqing's army on the other side would be so strong. The belief and contempt in their hearts at the beginning had already disappeared with the smoke and fire of the muskets, the falling companions, and the sound of war drums and trumpets coming from the opposite side.

The war soldiers and cavalry of Tianwei Camp launched an attack at the same time. The rioters had nowhere to escape and squeezed together. Some of them were trampled to death because they fell to the ground. Almost all the dozen rioters who fled back were killed by the cavalry on the surrounding flat ground, and no one was spared.

The officers riding horses were blocked by their soldiers, and only one of them was able to escape and escape from their own military formation. However, before they could be happy, they were shot and killed by two whistlemen from Tianwei Camp with arrows.

Zheng Chenggong did not join the battlefield. He watched the battle process on the original position of Tianwei Camp. From the confrontation between the two armies to the harassment of the two wings of the cavalry in Tianwei Camp, musket shooting, combat soldiers attacking, and now the siege and pursuit, it was completely one-sided massacre.

"They are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, how could they be so... how could they be so bad?"

Listening to the howling sounds coming from the battlefield, Zheng Chenggong murmured: "If my Zheng family's soldiers came, I'm afraid they would not be much better than this one!"

The battle ended soon. At Zhou Shixian's instruction, the eight whistle cavalry deliberately let go of a hole and allowed five or six rioters to escape.

After all, Gao Jie should know about this matter, this is the fastest and best way. If he sends someone to sue him, it will not be easy to catch the other party's braid.

Nearly half of the other 200 soldiers were killed on the battlefield by Tianwei Camp, and half of them were conscious of the current affairs and responded quickly, so they chose to put down their weapons and surrender. However, Zhou Shixian did not lead the calculation to let them go, and they all killed them according to the military rules.

He needed to use the heads of these people to tell his army that the consequences of violating military laws and looting the people were this.

Zhou Shixian confirmed that his troops could indeed fight, and that their combat power was far superior to these Ming soldiers, and his troops hiding behind the hillside immediately appeared around this messy military camp.

In the evening of that day, Zhou Shixian led his troops into Tianshui County and was warmly welcomed by the gentry in the county. However, he did not show off his own style, but ordered the blockade of the main roads around him to prevent the news of himself appearing in Fengyang from spreading too early.

After dealing with the gentry, Zhou Shixian and the generals began to calculate the capture on the battlefield and asked Xue Laoer to give a brief report on the battle situation.

Although it was a small battle, these riots had the opportunity to plan to rob, and Tianwei Camp had a great harvest. With just silver, more than 40,000 taels were seized, and jewelry was worth 40,000 taels, and a lot of food. The silver was enough to start from scratch and train two thousand coins.

In addition to gold, silver and food, there were more than 70 women who were captured and plundered in the military camp of the riots, and more than 50 young and middle-aged men. Zhou Shixian did not intend to let them go. In such a chaotic era, it would almost mean that they would die.

These people were naturally sent back to the military camp and into the workshop, and Zhou Shixian was also short of cheap labor.

After calculating the seizure on the battlefield, three soldiers were also informed of embezzlement of dirty silver and were mortified on the spot, Xue Laoer also began a report on the situation of the war:

"Mr. Prince Concubine, this battle was dispatched by the 100th headquarters in the first game. Eight additional escorts were dispatched to strengthen the battle. In this battle, a total of 125 enemies were wiped out and 136 enemies were captured. Four people were killed in battle and twelve people were injured. Three of them were seriously injured, all of which were injured. I am afraid that they would not survive tomorrow night. The other nine were not fatal injuries, but one of them injured his muscles and bones, and they might be disabled. The rest were not a big problem. It would be healed after a while of rest."

After hearing this, Zhou Shixian nodded, and then looked around the people in the room. Except for Zheng Chenggong's face, the other generals were all ashamed. Most of them had participated in the "Battle of Qinghe" before and had some understanding of the combat effectiveness of these friendly forces.

After a while, after listening to Xue Laoer's subsequent weapon damage and the reports on the battlefield, Zhou Shixian said in a deep voice:

"In this battle, the military camp in Tianweizhong performed well. After returning, my son-in-law will definitely reward merits. In addition to the rewards from the court, there will be other rewards. However, I hope you all remember that Tianwei camp is the most elite existence in my army. Even if you win against a mob, there is nothing to be happy about.

At the same time, you must also think carefully. These friendly troops, the so-called four towns in Jiangbei, are this kind of virtue. It is absolutely impossible to rely on them to stop the Qing army that is about to move south. In the future, the only thing we can rely on in the war with the Tartars is that we are ourselves.

Therefore, the issues mentioned by General Xue just now should be taken seriously and think about the strategies for improvement. There are also regulations in the military law. Those who can discover military training and combat problems and propose improvements will be given rewards of twenty-five taels, fifty taels, and one hundred taels of silver respectively, and I hope you can all get them."

After hearing this, the generals nodded: The combat effectiveness of this chaos army is indeed too poor. If Gao Jie's elite servants came, they might be able to fight. So they didn't dare to ask for any rewards. Zhou Shixian's unexpected reward was actually a small favor and continued to win people's hearts.

The problems exposed by the army on the battlefield made them feel guilty and they were even more worried that the prince consort in front of them would use thunder to rectify them.

"Mr. Prince Consort, how will the army move next? Will it continue to go north, or?" Xue Laoer asked again.

"Go to Sizhou, but there is no hurry. Send a sentry cavalry to explore the way first. After Gao Jie starts his action, we will set off again. Let the army continue to stand by in the city in the next few days."

Zhou Shixian paused, and then continued to order: "Send some whistle cavalry into Huai'an territory and see how Liu Zeqing acted."

Zheng Chenggong listened calmly, and he knew that Zhou Shixian was waiting for the situation to be more chaotic. After all, he is now using Liu Zeqing's name, so Gao Jie will definitely not give up. When the two sides start to make a fuss and after the dog bites the dog, it will be more legitimate to intervene.

Now, it is just the name of the prince-consort patrol, so Zhou Shixian can only click to stop.
