A few days later, groups of soldiers walked into the Dongfang Camp in Huangyu Town from afar. There were members of death battalions from various places, as well as soldiers who had returned from Langsha Castle.
For a time, the camp was bustling with excitement.
At this time, the number of troops in the camp was close to 15,000.
After the whole army was reorganized for a day, Qin Feng summoned the generals and gave them only one order.
"Capture the royal capital."
The mighty army began to approach the royal capital, and for a moment there was wind and sand everywhere, filling the atmosphere with a chilling atmosphere.
In the royal capital of Doherty City, the person guarding the city is General Gal, who was defeated by Qin Feng in Langsha Castle.
At this time, he was once again entrusted with the important task of guarding the royal capital by Charles.
Standing on the top of the city and looking at the mighty and orderly troops, he couldn't help but sigh: "They are really elite troops. I am afraid it will be difficult for our army to match them."
"General, why do you inflate the morale of others and destroy your own prestige? A few days ago, we also suppressed the opponent in the camp. They didn't even have the courage to fight. I think they are nothing more than this."
Gal turned his head and looked at a tall warrior wearing animal armor and carrying a scimitar at his waist. There were three scars of different lengths on his face.
His past immediately came to mind. He was an opportunistic mercenary who was appointed as a general because he contributed a large amount of gold coins to the Fountain Sect, and was responsible for leading the believers who were recruited into the army.
Ever since His Majesty Charles cooperated with the Fountain Religion, the Fountain Religion has recruited many believers to join the war, including many opportunistic mercenaries.
Due to the lack of extraordinary people and generals, His Highness Charles has acquiesced in the unspoken rule that capable mercenaries can serve as generals.
But since joining these mercenary generals, Garr has really felt that sometimes these mercenary generals are too wanton, difficult to control, difficult to command, or even unable to command. What's even more outrageous is that they secretly sent troops to attack the opponent's camp a few days ago.
"General Allen, you led your troops to attack the opponent's camp and Langsha Castle a few days ago, but what was the result?"
Garr had no good impression of this mercenary general, especially because he was lawless and sent troops privately, so the two of them would often fight each other.
However, due to the large number of believer soldiers, Garr is often at a disadvantage, which will also make the conflicts between the two more serious.
After all, in name, Garr is the chief general and the mercenary general Allen is the deputy general, but in practice, Allen often exercises the rights of the chief general.
"The results were fruitful. In the battle of Langsha Castle, we lost 200 troops and killed 300 enemies. In the battle of the camp, we lost 500 troops and killed 2,000 enemies."
Gal turned his head and looked at him with an expression on his face as he talked nonsense.
"If it weren't for the steep terrain of Langsha Castle, I would have killed all the rebels in Langsha Castle." The mercenary general Allen raised his head high, and his thick nostrils were almost pointing upward.
"Oh, that's it." Gal didn't point out his lies and pointed at the enemy troops forming formation below the city.
"The general is so powerful, but what strategy can he use to defeat the enemy?"
"What's so difficult about this?" mercenary general Gal came to the city wall and looked down.
Soldiers in red armor formed a battle formation as neatly as cubes of tofu, moving piece by piece to their respective fighting positions.
But there were exceptions. A group of very loose troops came to the front, followed by rows of archers and crossbowmen, and behind them were close combat soldiers and cavalry.
"Ha ha…"
Suddenly the mercenary general Allen laughed a few times.
"Look at the lineup below, it's so ridiculous."
"As long as I charge with my troops, I can defeat the enemy's strong men in the front row. Follow the retreating soldiers to attack the opponent's archer phalanx. The archers will definitely flee again, and the fleeing soldiers will rush into the rear soldiers. We will take the opportunity to kill
If the enemy army enters and disrupts their position, we can annihilate them in one battle and recover all the towns in the western border."
Gal listened carefully and suddenly felt that what he said made sense.
The opponent's front row is obviously not an elite force, but there are many old, weak and disabled among them. They are not arranged in any military formation, they are just clusters here and there, which makes people very uncomfortable to look at. It is different from the neat troops behind them.
It looks quite awkward in comparison.
It also makes people look like a weak force.
So he nodded slowly and said:
"In that case, please ask General Allen to send troops to defeat them."
"Humph, let's make an agreement first. Since I led the people to defeat, then all the credit this time will be mine." The mercenary general Allen stared at Gal, and he would argue if he disagreed.
The posture of drawing a sword.
"As long as you defeat them and recover all the towns, I will report to His Highness Charles and let him take all the credit on your head."
Gal looked at the mercenary general Allen without fear.
"Destroy? No, I will annihilate them all..."
After mercenary general Allen said these words, he laughed and left.
Soon the city gate of the royal capital opened wide, and groups of people rushed out.
These are believer soldiers who have only undergone a few months of simple training. They don't care about the formation, they only know how to beat the enemy to death.
In the Ming army formation, Qin Feng, who was riding on a war horse, unexpectedly looked at the soldiers rushing out from the city gate.
Just as the intelligence said, most of them wore white robes and carried pitchforks, sickles and wooden sticks with nails attached.
"Now it's time for a decisive battle? Aren't you afraid of defeat?" Qin Feng asked doubtfully.
"Perhaps they think they can win this battle with certainty."
A young general wearing red scale armor was riding on a war horse, looking into the distance leisurely and answering Qin Feng's questions casually.
There is a bow on his back, a half-meter-long and one-hand-wide sword on his waist, and a 3-meter-long spear in his right hand.
He was not wearing a helmet, his face was fair and beardless, his long hair was braided into a ponytail, and he looked heroic.
"Hua Rong." Qin Feng said: "Go and arrange archers to kill as many enemies as possible."
"Yes, Governor."
Looking at the young general leaving Juechen, Qin Feng couldn't help but recall Hua Rong's introduction.
One of Zhu Yuanzhang's generals, who was good at conquering and fighting, was a brave general. He was later attacked by Chen Youliang and sank to the bottom of the sea to his death.
Hua Rong:
【Martial Arts】:15
【Strength】:15
Talent: None
Taoism: None
"Currently, his strength is not very strong. He can't even recruit generals and guards, so we have to let him lead the archers to gain experience."
Qin Feng shook his head slightly, then smiled slightly, "At least, I am no longer alone in commanding the battle, right?"
More than 3,000 members of the death battalion at the front saw troops dispatched from the city and rushed toward them. The death battalion also rushed forward under orders, and violently collided with the opponent.
Compared with the rudimentary equipment of most believer soldiers, the equipment in the death camp is the garrison soldiers' armor, a shield, a scimitar or a spear. These equipment are better than most believers.
Moreover, both sides have high morale and will fight to the death.
During the battle between the two armies, red and white figures intertwined with each other.
The spear pierced the abdomen of the believer soldier, but another believer soldier scratched the armor with a sickle.
The scimitar opened the skull of the believer soldier, and the hat on his head was also knocked off.
The nails-mounted sticks hit the shields, making a sound of hitting the cowhide, while the believer soldiers with those sticks were pierced through the chests with spears.
In local battles, the death camp has the advantage, but in terms of numbers, the believer soldiers are more numerous and have semi-surrounded more than 3,000 members of the death camp.
"Archer, shoot..."
Hua Rong's energetic voice spread throughout the entire archer formation.
In Garr's incredible eyes on the city wall, a cloud of arrows fell on the fighting formations.
"ah…"
The believer soldiers looked up at the sky, their eyes reflected the rain of arrows covered by the sky, and then they were covered by the rain of arrows.
Most of them, who were only clothed in civilian clothes, were shot directly through their bodies by arrows, and half of them fell instantly.
Some were shot through their eyeballs, some were shot through their arms, and some were shot through their thighs. Most of them lost their combat effectiveness.
"shoot…"
The Ming archers did not stop shooting and continued shooting under Hua Rong's command.
Although the scope of the arrow rain was placed on the heads of the believer soldiers, a small number of members of the death camp were shot through by the arrow rain from behind.
"Crazy, they are all fucking crazy."
The mercenary general Allen hid in a wall made of shields by his own guards.
Seeing a large number of defenseless believer soldiers being shot down by arrows, they bit their lips fiercely.
"Let them retreat..."
The rain of arrows continued, and the mercenary general Allen had to give an order to retreat.
The horn sounded…
All the believer soldiers were unwilling to brave the rain of arrows and prepared to retreat to the city.
However, the death camp was in hot pursuit, and the archers on top of the city also began to shoot arrows, covering the believers' troops as they retreated into the city.
"Humph, what kind of battle are you fighting? It's such a mess..."
Garr slapped the city wall with his iron-gloved right hand. In just one attack, more than 3,000 people were lost.
None of the tactics and strategies formulated by the mercenary general Allen were successful.
"Cum for me, shoot them all to death..."
The mercenary general Allen fled back to the city first, came to the city wall, and looked bitterly at the death camp below that was still pursuing the believer soldiers.
"Sir Allen, they are too close, we will shoot our own people." An officer reported quickly.
"What?"
Gal looked down at the city. He saw that the enemy troops and the believer soldiers were blocking the city gate and continuing to fight. However, one was running away and the other was chasing. Many believer soldiers were chopped down by spears and scimitars coming from behind.
"All my people are almost dead, shoot arrows to stop them."
The mercenary general Allen looked anxious. His army must not suffer too many casualties, otherwise his position would be in jeopardy. There could be as many as a brigade of mercenaries watching his position.
"This?" The officer looked at General Garr. He did not dare to make a random decision. The royal soldiers and the believer soldiers belonged to two factions. If the decision was wrong, he might be pushed out as a scapegoat.
Garr nodded silently.
After receiving the approval, the officer paused, then waved his right hand, and arrows rained down immediately.
"Let the artillery and archers go up to reinforce..."
Qin Feng in the formation opened the light screen and shouted to the light screen that as long as the distance was closer, he could give orders at will.
"go ahead…"
Hua Rong roared, and Qin Feng heard the excitement in his voice.
"Ha, he is a war maniac." Qin Feng smiled slightly.
The phalanx of archers ran toward the city. Behind them, the Crouching Tiger Cannon and the Anti-Japanese Cannon were also pushed into the firing range. After loading ammunition, they began to fire.
"Look, they are coming up. Behind them are magic crystal cannons. They are going to fire." The officer pointed forward and shouted in panic.
