“Woo woo woo woo…”

The desolate and high-pitched horn sound floated back and forth in the distance, and it was an army proclaiming its arrival in this way.

"Boom...boom...boom...boom..."

As the sound of the horns got closer and closer, the soldiers standing in the Nanjing camp suddenly felt the ground under their feet trembling slightly. At first, many people thought it was an illusion, but as the tremor intensified, they realized that the enemy was approaching, and many veterans' faces changed color. They were experienced and knew very well that this was a sound that could only be made by countless people walking at the same speed and frequency. Such an army could be called elite in any case.

As time went by, a strict army gradually appeared in their sight. First, the big flag was filled with the word "Ming" and then the big flag was written with the word "Ming Jiangning Guard Commander", and then the big character "Yang", which all declared the other party's identity, which was a Ming army.

"Crazy...Crazy..."

As the target approached, a slight commotion was triggered in the originally neat military formation. Many soldiers, especially the musketeers of the Shenji Camp standing in the front, looked at the rows of soldiers approaching the approaching.

"Iron armor... They are all wearing iron armor. How is this possible?"

The same amazement also happened to Xu Hongji and others. Seeing the nearby soldiers wearing iron armor, the bayonets carrying their shoulders shining coldly in the sun, Xu Hongji only felt his hands trembling slightly.

"This is impossible, how is this possible? Where did Yang Feng get so many iron armors equipped with his men? It's fine if the cavalry wears iron armor, but even infantry wears iron armor. Where did he get so many armors in his body?"

Xu Hongji felt that his thinking was a little messy. You should know that if it was hundreds of pairs of iron armor, it might be possible to do it with strong financial resources. However, if everyone, including the infantry, had to put on iron armor, such a big deal could no longer be described as having money. Without an amazing force behind it, it would be impossible to have money alone. This requires a strong industrial chain to support it. Especially in this era of low productivity, it is simply unimaginable that the manpower and material resources required to build so many iron armors are simply unimaginable.

But Xu Hongji never dreamed that behind Yang Feng was not supported by some forces, but standing an era that had completed the process of industrialization and was preparing to move towards informatization. Creating a few pieces of armor is just a matter of gently pressing the buttons of the machine for people of this era.

“Woo woo woo woo…”

The loud trumpet sounds of three consecutive provinces sounded, and the first row of the Jiangning Guards had already stood five hundred meters ahead of the Nanjing Camp Army Group to which Xu Hongji belonged. The neat formation, neat weapons, dark and cold-glowing muskets, and the shouts of officers from behind all test the nerves of the Nanjing Camp Army on the opposite side.

Liao Yongquan said to Xu Hongji with some fear: "Mr. Xu, why don't we... Let's take advantage of the opportunity to kill us while we have gained a foothold on the other side?"

Xu Hongji glared at him with some dissatisfaction. This guy is smart on weekdays, so why does he become stupid when he moves. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and lowered his voice: "Mr. Liao, have you seen the opponent's cavalry? Once our infantry passes, they will definitely come over. What do you want our infantry to use to resist?"

"this……"

Liao Yongquan suddenly became dumbfounded and felt his face burning. Although he was the Minister of War in Nanjing, he was actually a scholar at the beginning and knew almost nothing about military affairs. He could still argue with others with his mouth, but once he went to the battlefield, he was stunned.

Ignoring Liao Yongquan, Xu Hongji turned to Zhang Weixian on the side and said, "Brother, please lead your personal soldiers to the front to supervise the battle. If someone fled later, you have the right to enforce military rules on them and execute them on the spot. No matter what, we cannot defeat this battle!"

Zhang Weixian's face changed twice. He also understood the importance of this battle to them. He gritted his teeth and replied, "I understand!"

After saying that, he shouted and led more than 100 personal soldiers under his command to ride their horses ahead.

After Zhang Weixian left, Xu Hongji looked at Lu Jianshen, who was silent next to him, and showed a smile: "Mr. Lu, as the censor, you are the most eloquent in your daily life. Yang Ni has arrived today, so why not ask you to come forward and scold him, maybe Yang Ni will immediately regret dismiss the horse and surrender."

"No." Lu Jianshen's face turned green when he heard this. The two armies were not a place to talk. He wouldn't really think that the other party would reason with him and argue with each other. I'm afraid that the one who just walked out of the formation would greet him was countless lead bullets and arrow rains.

"Don't make such a joke. I think Yang Feng hated his lower official so much that he might be harmed by him as soon as he went out!"

Looking at Lu Jianshen's face was so scared that he was pale, a hint of disdain flashed in Xu Hongji's eyes, and at the same time, he sighed in his heart. Is it really wise to find this guy who is so timid and cowardly?

But now that things have come to this point, it doesn’t make sense to think about it anymore. Now that we have reached this point, both sides have no way to turn around, and the only thing left is to fight one first.

Seeing that the opponent had already arranged the square array, he estimated that the opponent would attack him soon. He took a deep breath and shouted: "The whole army is on guard and prepare to face the enemy!"

“Woo woo woo woo…”

As soon as Xu Hongji finished speaking, the horn sounded opposite him again. The local military formation that had lined up its formation suddenly moved, and the three rows of musketeers in the lead began to move forward.

At this moment, the musketeers of Xu Hongji's side who were in front of the Shenji Camp began to get nervous, and one by one picked up the mesh guns in their hands under the orders of the officers.

The firearms equipped by Xu Hongji's battalion soldiers are bird guns. The range of this kind of fire gun is very short, with a range of only about one hundred meters. They are fired with a fuse rope and are slow to load. The only advantage is that they are very high in accuracy and are said to be able to hit birds in the sky.

As the musket soldiers of Jiangning Guard slowly moved forward, behind them, Yang Feng rode a war horse and surrounded by dozens of servants, using a telescope to observe the movement in front of him. After seeing the slight commotion of the Shenji Camp in the forefront, he sneered at Huang Zhenye next to him: "It seems that those people are a little impatient, tell Yang Daniu that he will send a team of cavalry forward to see if he can lure the other party's Shenji Camp to fire."

"clear!"

With Yang Feng's order, a team of cavalry rushed from both sides toward the advancing musket soldiers. The actions of the cavalry broke the nerves of the already nervous Shenji Camp.
