"My lord, I have taken a rough look at the situation in the bandit camp, and it is indeed about 15,000."
"How confident are you in a head-on battle?"
"Ninety percent! Our Renaissance Army is not like those strong civilians. We have at least a ninety percent chance of winning!"
"Okay! Let's do it! Let them see the power of the Renaissance Army!"
At Jiangzhou Camp, some useful information was also obtained from the investigation of the bandits.
At least we have found out how many traitors there are there.
Song Yang didn't want to spend time with the bandits, he was still rushing home to harvest in the autumn.
Finish planting early and harvest early.
After the autumn harvest, there are still a lot of things waiting for you.
Therefore, Song Yang is more inclined to decide the outcome in one battle.
Although the number of people is smaller, Song Yang has a bomb in his hand!
Then give this thing to the thieves for a while, their morale will be high!
Early the next morning, the Jiangzhou Renaissance Army began to assemble.
Only then did King Hongzhou, who had been confused, realize that Song Yang was going to take the initiative.
"No! Nephew! Don't go!" King Hongzhou took Song Yang's arm and persuaded him.
He didn't dare to let Song Yang fight the thief.
If Song Yang fails, his Yuzhang will be finished.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry! The Renaissance Army is very powerful!" Song Yang said, pulling away King Hongzhou's hand.
"Ah! If something happens to you, how can I be worthy of my ancestors?" King Hongzhou begged bitterly.
"If Uncle Wang is worried about me, then come with me?" Song Yang looked at King Hongzhou with a half-smile.
The King of Hongzhou shrank his neck and said: "Ahem! I feel a cold occasionally, so... I won't go."
"Uncle! I am willing to bring Hongzhou soldiers to help in the battle!"
At this time, Shen Dan came.
He took the initiative to ask Ying to help.
The King of Hongzhou hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but Shen Dan said: "The King of Jiangzhou still has the courage to kill the enemy, but the morale of our Hongzhou officers and soldiers cannot be reduced!"
"Then...then you go! You must come back alive!" King Hongzhou said with a sad face.
As soon as he finished speaking, King Hongzhou stood up immediately. He didn't want to stay on the west bank at all.
Run back to Yuzhang City quickly to feel at ease.
As soon as the King of Hongzhou left, Shen Dan clasped his fists at Song Yang and said, "My lord, what do you want me to do for you?"
"This..." Song Yang was a little embarrassed.
There was nothing he was asked to do. The level of the Hongzhou soldiers was really worrying. They were asked to kill the enemy, but they were defeated when the time came, which in turn affected their own confidence.
"Ah Yang, why don't we let them take care of food and weapons transportation, and at least they can do their part." Seventh Uncle Song Tong suggested.
"Yes, yes! I know that the Hongzhou soldiers are weak, but I hope I can do my best." Shen Dan also nodded hurriedly.
Relatively speaking, Shen Dan still has a B number.
He also knew what the Hongzhou soldiers were like, and volunteering to take the lead was simply seeking death.
Since Song Tong proposed to let them handle the logistics, this would be great. At least someone from Hongzhou would be involved.
He was trying to earn some face for King Hongzhou, but unfortunately King Hongzhou was too timid and didn't dare to come forward at all.
"That's it, I'll leave the logistics to you."
In response to Shen Dan, Yu Ming was almost ready here.
Four thousand Jiangzhou soldiers have gathered.
The entire Fuxing Army came out of the cave, and Ma Cheng was responsible for commanding the Minzhuang and Navy troops to guard the camps left behind.
At Chen time, the large army marched westward in a mighty manner.
The bandit promised to be five miles to the west. It was all wasteland and there was no suitable place for an ambush.
As long as Song Yang doesn't lay any surprises, the thieves won't be able to pull any tricks.
"General, the bandits are on the move. Check again!"
After Yu Ming received the news, more than 10,000 bandits were dispatched.
Song Yang left full authority over the specific matters of the battle to Yu Ming, while he boosted the morale of the Chinese army.
The seventh uncle Song Tong was also by Song Yang's side, and Song Tong did not support Song Yang's risking his own life.
But fighting like this can indeed boost morale. Song Yang came in person, and there was no one in the Fuxing Army who didn't have high morale.
"Woo! Woo! Woo!" A short horn sounded, and the vanguard had already met the bandit soldiers.
"Form up!" The flag waved, and the Renaissance Army put up a defensive revitalization.
These thieves got hundreds of war horses from nowhere and were running back and forth on the outside, creating a situation of encirclement.
However, Song Yang also has horses here, although not many, there are twenty or thirty exploring horses.
Tan Ma was suppressed by the thief cavalry, and the range gradually narrowed. However, the thief cavalry did not dare to get too close. The Fuxing Army all carried bows and arrows.
Soon the vanguard of the thieves was already a hundred paces away.
"Dong dong dong!" The thieves beat the drum.
The vanguard of thieves surged forward like a tide.
Liu Manqing placed Shao Han's 1,000 men at the front. They were all brave and ruthless people, and their individual strength was ranked among the best among thieves.
Let them rush for a while so that they can find out the details of Jiangzhou soldiers.
"Raise your gun and prepare!"
"ha!"
"Prepare your bow!"
"ha!"
The traitors were getting closer and closer, but the Fuxing Army did not show any panic at all. Following the command flag, the soldiers made corresponding movements and shouted loudly to increase their momentum.
After eighty steps, Yu Ming waved his hand, and the messenger waved his flag.
"A set of projectiles!"
Zhengzhengzheng!
The bowstring sounded, and the arrows shot out.
In the first wave of arrows, only five hundred archers fired.
It uses a projectile, which is not very powerful.
But it also caused some trouble to the charging thieves.
"Fifty steps for the thieves!" The observers reported the movements of the thieves at all times.
"Two groups of flat shots!" The command flag moved again.
One group of archers retreated, and the second group of archers moved forward.
Insert into the gap between strong soldiers and shields and swords, and shoot directly at the enemy.
"Puff puff!"
At least a hundred people were hit by arrows in this shooting.
Suddenly chaos arose among the enemy soldiers.
"Twenty steps for thieves!"
"Gunners prepare!"
"prick!"
"kill!"
When Shao Han rushed to the Fuxing Army with a thousand of his subordinates, there were only seven or eight hundred people left around him.
At this time he was already a little panicked.
The Renaissance troops in front of them were completely different from the Hongzhou soldiers.
There was no confusion in their formation, and their movements were almost uniform.
That sense of oppression frightened even a brave man like Shao Han.
Fortunately, these thousand thieves have experienced several battles, so they are not completely in chaos.
Under the leadership of Shao Han, they finally rushed over.
What the rebel soldiers wanted was to rush forward and kill them, causing some casualties to the Fuxing Army and they would be in chaos, just like the Hongzhou soldiers.
But the imagined harm is not to the Renaissance Army, but to themselves.
What greeted them was a wave of spear thrusts.
"kill!"
The loud shouts of killing caused the thieves to lose their minds for a moment.
Just this moment was a fatal loss of consciousness.
"Puff puff!" More than a hundred people were stabbed in just this one blow.
"Brothers rush forward and chop them down!"
Shao Han's face was covered with blood, and he became fierce. He cut off the spear in front of him and rushed towards the spearman.
The Renaissance Army spearmen were not at all confused, probably because they still had teammates.
"Shield Blade Soldiers! Advance!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The command flag wavered, and the shield soldiers beside the spearmen moved.
Those thieves who were lucky enough to rush over were chopped down by the shield soldiers, and dozens more were lost in an instant.
"Hmph! Vulnerable!" Yu Ming watched the battle from his horse and gave the thieves a disdainful look.
The charge of a thousand men posed almost no threat to the Renaissance Army.
Yu Ming was also a member of the lower-level guards. He didn't bother hiding behind and only knew how to fight. If he hadn't been a garrison general, he would have rushed to the front and killed a few people.
Even so, Yu Ming was only behind the spearmen, or even before the archers.
There were several Renaissance soldiers on horseback guarding him with shields. One side was lost and injured.
Song Yang did not agree with this method of command.
If Yu Ming fails, it will also be a blow to morale.
But Yu Ming was originally behind the archer, but somehow he moved closer and closer to the front.
"Look! That's the general of the army! If you kill him, the army will be in chaos!"
Several brave men around Shao Han withstood the attack of the shield soldiers, and also saw Yu Ming not far away.
The distance is only about thirty steps, so if you try hard enough, you might be able to rush through.
"Kill! Concentrate your troops and rush here! I'll go and kill that man!" Shao Han called for the thieves to attack together.
Yu Ming also saw Shao Han coming this way.
Yu Ming wielded a big sword and was about to rush over to duel with Shao Han but suddenly stopped.
He threw the big knife to someone else and said to his assistant:
"Hmph! I just happen to know how to... eh? No. Someone, bring the musket!"
"General, here's your musket!" the assistant handed the musket over.
Yu Ming originally wanted to fight Shao Han, but then he thought that he was carrying a musket, why not try the power of this thing?
I used to use it as a target before, but this is the first time I use it to hit people.
"Hey! Then let you be the first person to be knocked down by a musket. Consider it an honor for you!" Yu Ming loaded the gunpowder pill hehey.
He raised his musket and pointed it at Shao Han, shouting: "How dare that little thief leave his name behind!"
Shao Han rushed forward from the front door and suddenly heard Yu Ming's shout.
When he looked up, he saw that the general was pointing a fire stick at him.
"I, Shao Han, am about to take your life!"
"boom!"
Shao Han raised his head and shouted, his face exposed.
Of course Yu Ming will not give up this good opportunity.
One pull of the trigger fired the musket.
"puff!"
Yu Ming, who practices shooting whenever he has nothing to do, has a good marksmanship.
He is now second only to Song Yang in marksmanship in Jiangzhou.
Thirty steps away, it hit Shao Han directly on the head.
Shao Han raised his sword and was about to deflect the blade of a shield swordsman.
As a result, he was shot first.
Suddenly his vision went dark, and he escaped into reincarnation.
"Pfft!"
The sword of the shield soldier fell down without any resistance, directly killing Shao Han.
"Ah! General Shao Han is dead!"
"General Shao Han is dead!"
There were originally thirty or fifty people around Shao Han, but when Shao Han died, these people no longer dared to fight.
Coupled with the non-stop slashing and stabbing attacks by the Renaissance Army.
The thieves couldn't hold it any longer and began to collapse.
Yu Ming fired the musket while calling the archers to fire it, causing them some losses.
This battle lasted less than a moment, and at least six to seven hundred thieves were killed.
On the Fuxing Army side, there were less than a hundred casualties.
This achievement can be described as extraordinary, and this is the result that officers and soldiers should have against enemy soldiers.
