Chapter 131: Fuyuan Bandits

"General Yang, you are ready to order the soldiers to prepare to charge."

With Lu Zhan's order, all the cavalry began to adjust their charging posture for the last time. The musketeers, on the other hand, stuffed the pellets into the barrel and waited for the muskets to fire.

Lu Zhan stood in the middle of the cavalry team and prepared to charge, the lancers in the first row were like spears breaking through the formation, which was the most dangerous position among the cavalry. However, these lancers will break through the enemy formation and return to the rear of the army from both sides, ready for the next assault.

"Lord, aren't you thinking about it, it's too dangerous to charge in person. Otherwise, the lord should stand with the musketeers, these things are what we should do, and this battlefield is still too dangerous. Yang Feng was still making the last persuasion, after all, the sword on the battlefield was eyeless, and the fists and feet were ruthless.

Lu Zhan smiled, and after straightening out his armor, he remembered the sentences of the middle two in the movies and TV series, "Since you are already on the battlefield, you should hold a knife and a gun." Moreover, if the leader does not fight in person during the war, how can he inspire the soldiers around him. ”

A general is the courage of a soldier. Throughout history, any general who can take the lead can greatly boost the morale of the soldiers, even if it is just for show.

"My lord, the last general understands." Yang Feng slowly drew the saber at his waist, and after his eyes signaled to the soldiers beside him, a sharp bamboo whistle sounded in the silent night sky.

When the sleeping bandits heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves, they picked up their knives and guns before they could put on their armor. As soon as I stepped out of the camp, I saw the absolute main force on the battlefield - cavalry.

The light of the torches in the camp shone on the dark armor, and it glowed terrifyingly. The swords in the hands of the cavalry still reflected the light of fire in the night, and the galloping horses rushed into the soldiers who had just woken up like monsters clad in steel.

"Quick, quick, run!"

"The Yanzhou army is here."

The soldiers on the periphery were caught off guard, how could the bandits with the purpose of making a fortune be the opponent of the capable cavalry. At this moment, the movement on the periphery had spread to other places, and these people were ready to meet the enemy under the urging of the commander.

However, how many Yanzhou troops will join the battlefield in the dark night, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to eat meat, and night blindness has plagued the ancient army for many years. Therefore, in ancient times, almost all generals did not dare to fight at night, and most of the soldiers did not even know whether they were friends or foes around them.

There are very few people suffering from night blindness in the Yanzhou army, which is relatively rich in military pay and food, and this night battle can be regarded as one of the advantages of the Yanzhou army.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Mengyuan court besieged Xu Shouhui with 500,000 people, but one night the incident of Xiaoying happened, and the 500,000 army was defeated overnight.

"The brothers fought all the way through and completely drove these people out of our territory."

Lu Zhan's voice seemed to be muffled by the sound of the horse's hooves and shouts of the cavalry, and no one seemed to be able to hear Lu Zhan's voice except for more than a dozen personal soldiers who were close to him.

The advantage of the cavalry was its speed, and once they were held back by these men, the other waiting bandits would attack. Although most of the bandits suffered from night blindness, it was enough for them to follow the sound of the drums of war.

"Sir, I can't see anything, is there only a few thousand people in this Yanzhou army?" A slightly bolder soldier asked, the commander beside him.

"Nonsense, what I saw, the banner of the Yanzhou Army seems to be only about a few thousand people smaller."

The chief's food is naturally much higher than that of these big-headed soldiers, and this Baihu also has many years of experience, so he can roughly know how many people there are on the other side when he looks at the flag. As long as there was no rout of their own and friendly troops, the cavalry of the attacking Yanzhou army could only temporarily retreat or retreat into Fuyuan City.

Once they retreat into Fuyuan City, they will lose the advantage of cavalry, and the dismounted infantry will be like toothless tigers, and they can only rely on their claws to deal with the enemy.

The officers among the bandits constantly motivate their subordinates, who use money to lure their men to continue fighting. As the old saying goes, this man dies for money, and the bird dies for food.

Just as these men mustered up the courage to enter the battle, a familiar and terrifying voice resounded in the sky again.

The firearms unit could see clearly the place where the bandits had gathered in large numbers, and the reason why they did not shoot was because the bandits were concentrated in their tents, and the advantage of the muskets could not be brought into play. Only when the army is massively assembled can it be used to its fullest potential.

The roar of the muskets brought great psychological pressure to the bandits, and the musketeers stood on high places and continued to pour fire, although the number of muskets was still scarce, but the deterrent effect was not far behind.

Most of the people have seen or heard rumors that there are gods in the Yanzhou army to help each other, and this terrifying sound sounded again in the dark night, and many teams began to collapse directly.

Although the projectiles fired from the musket had not yet hit him, the men began to shake when they heard the sound of hurried footsteps nearby. I don't know who took the first step, and the whole team began to crumble like an avalanche.

The flight of one person often leads to the rout of an army, and these are taboo for generals.

The defenders of the city watched the riot in the camp of the bandits in the distance, and watched as many people began to flee from the barracks with torches.

"Is this the reinforcements coming, and I seem to hear the sound of something exploding, could this be the voice of the god invited by the lord."

"This is only the third day, could it be that the bandits pretending to be the reinforcements of the Yanzhou Army have arrived to lure us out of the city to respond, and then wipe us out directly outside the city wall."

The guards of Fuyuan City were also considering whether to go out of the city to receive reinforcements, Wang Chuan looked at the bandits' barracks in the distance, and as more and more bandits escaped from the camp, Wang Chuan also made up his mind.

The improvised bandits did not have good organization and discipline at all, and so many people began to leave the barracks and run around in an orderly manner, so that there would have been no ambushes.

"Soldiers, reinforcements have arrived, go out with me and drive these bandits out of our territory."

The cavalry were best at chasing down the routers, and in ancient times, the casualties of escape were often greater than those of head-to-head combat.
