Dai Junen finally gathered 18,000 soldiers, plus the 2,000 soldiers in Jingyu Zhongcheng, which happened to be 20,000, as a civilian official, he commanded so many soldiers for the first time, but because the opponent was a thief, he was not worried about the victory or defeat of the war.

He has fought fiercely with thieves many times, all of them are fighting more with less, but he has also completed the task assigned to him by the Overseer, the strength of the thieves is basically on paper, such as 10,000 thieves, most of them are dependents, and the real strong men who can fight will not exceed 3,000, and they are all untrained people, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Dai Junen was a little puzzled, just thieves, why did the Overseer give him 20,000 soldiers, could it be that there were 100,000 thieves?

Although the Overseer repeatedly warned him that the thieves' combat effectiveness was very strong, Dai Junen still did not believe it, the thieves were all wandering, and there was no time to train, and the so-called combat effectiveness was only forced by the officers and soldiers, "if you don't fight, you will die".

If the officers and soldiers had loosened the strings of the attack and given the thieves hope of escape, they would not have been able to fight the officers and soldiers to the death!

After rushing to the Jingyu Acropolis, Dai Junen realized that the problem was not as simple as he imagined, the Ming army's rangers west of the Acropolis were almost completely slaughtered, and there were thieves everywhere!

How can thieves have so many rangers?

Dai Junen faintly felt that the thieves here were afraid that they were about to become sperm.

Although the Mongols pretended to be the Heavenly Mandate Army rangers, although they had an absolute advantage in numbers, there were still a small number of Ming army rangers, passing through the valley with complex terrain, and the Heavenly Mandate Army was camped and stationed on the first line of the sheep's milk ditch.

The information obtained by the Ming army rangers was not exhaustive, and they didn't even know how many soldiers the Heavenly Mandate Army had.

For Dai Junen, this is enough, he is here to conquer the thieves, as long as he knows the place where the thieves are stationed, he has a goal, as for the combat effectiveness of the thieves, it is not very important.

It was the rangers on the battlefield who gave him some headaches, although they were not formed cavalry, but they made his ears and eyes blind and deaf for most of the time.

Such a thief is indeed not to be underestimated, no wonder the Overseer gave 20,000 soldiers!

Dai Junen was originally going to send a thousand infantry to go to the sheep milk ditch to spy on it, thinking that the thieves' rangers were powerful, and felt that a thousand people were too few, so he directly dispatched the vanguard battalion, led by the general Feng Ju to lead 5,000 soldiers to set off first, he led the Chinese army 10,000 people, set off a day later, the remaining 5,000 soldiers, temporarily in Jingyuwei to take care of the grain and grass, and wait for the army to defeat the thieves, after the west to Lanzhou, and then go out of the customs to follow.

The rangers of the Heavenly Mandate Army detected the information of the Ming army, and did not harass Feng Ju, but immediately sent people back to report Li Zicheng, and most of the rangers continued to stare at Feng Ju's movements.

"Five thousand?" Li Zicheng was overjoyed, the Ming army divided its troops, and it happened to be broken individually, and if the 5,000 Ming troops in the vanguard battalion were annihilated, the strength of the Ming army could be greatly weakened.

He immediately recruited Badasi and asked him to take all the cavalry, along the sheep's milk ditch, to the south, and then attack from behind the Ming army, "The main force of the Ming army is in Jingyuwei, there is only one chance!" ”

"Yes, Destiny Khan!" Badasi received the order, took the beef and mutton jerky, and under the guidance of the Han rangers, headed south.

Feng Ju's 5,000 soldiers came to the goat's milk ditch in the afternoon, but they were blocked by the ditch.

The pioneer battalion undertook the important task of repairing bridges and repairing roads for the Chinese army and detecting the enemy's situation, Feng Ju did not delay, he asked the soldiers to build a pontoon bridge to meet the army behind to cross the river.

On the slope three hundred steps away, the soldiers of Qin Danian's department were waiting for a battle, and more than 1,000 gunners were all deployed on the front position.

This is the first large-scale battle carried out by the 3,000th household, Li Zicheng is not at ease, he wants to personally command the operation, but the slope is relatively narrow, if he stands on the slope with his own soldiers, it will affect the soldiers to shoot, there is no way, he has to take the soldiers, hidden in the dense forest on the right, just to see the entire battlefield.

The goat's milk ditch is a small ditch, the width is less than two zhang, the bitter water season, the pedestrian can directly cross the ditch, less than an hour, five thousand Ming troops all crossed the goat's milk ditch.

Qin Danian's eyes were staring closely at the sheep milk ditch opposite, the five thousand Ming army was five times the size of the Heavenly Mandate Army, although Ma Youshui, Zhou Bin, and Song Wenbu had all achieved the record of winning more with less, but his soldiers, this was the first time to use a rifle on the battlefield, his heart was still very worried, and his palms were sweating.

This was his first big war, which was both an opportunity to make a name for himself and a huge risk.

"My lord, the Ming army is starting to approach this side......"

Qin Danian's eyes have been falling on the Ming army, how can he not know that the Ming army is advancing? The cavalry's reminder made him realize: he was still too nervous!

The boss panicked, how could the soldiers not be nervous?

He suppressed his pounding heart, and glared at his own soldiers again, "What's the panic, these are just two rangers, don't worry about him, the Ming army has just crossed the sheep's milk ditch, and it is still far away, put them on the death line of a hundred steps, and then shoot!" ”

Qin Danian shook the hem of his camouflage uniform, pretending to be fine, and walked through the soldiers for a while, he wanted to tell the soldiers with practical actions: The Lord will be with you!

The soldiers who were originally nervous saw Qin Danian appear in front of them, and their hearts suddenly relaxed a lot, since the adults are here, there will be no danger in the battle, and the three thousand households should also make meritorious contributions on the battlefield today!

It will be the courage of the soldiers, and Qin Danian's "calmness" will gradually make the soldiers settle down.

The Ming army on the opposite side was moving slowly, and as soon as Feng Ju crossed the goat's milk ditch, the rangers in front turned around and told him: The road in front of him was cut off, and on the east side, a stone wall of about one zhang appeared!

Stone wall? Feng Ju was taken aback, if the Ming army wanted to advance west, it had to climb over this stone wall!

The one-zhang high stone wall, the infantry can't directly climb over it, and must rely on the ladder, fortunately, his soldiers, who are the vanguard battalion of the whole army, have already prepared the ladder.

What Feng Ju is worried about is that the thieves are fully prepared, and I'm afraid that he, a pioneer, will not be too worry-free.

But his subordinates, there were 5,000 soldiers, and he didn't have much worry in his heart, so in order to test the thieves, he decided to send out 500 soldiers, carrying six ladders, to test the attack.

A thousand generals, with five hundred soldiers, began to break away from the pioneer camp and march towards the stone wall.

At first, they were cautious, as if they were worried about thieves hiding underground, but soon, Mr. Qian picked up the pace of his march.

"My lord, the Ming army is about to enter the death line of 100 steps!"

Qin Danian was still hesitating just now, only 500 Ming troops, whether to annihilate them all, when he heard the voice of his own soldiers trembling a little, he suddenly understood: these soldiers of his own, in the use of rifles, are all recruits.

The best way to familiarize them with the battlefield is to take it step by step, accumulate small victories into big victories, and you can't become fat in one bite!

Seeing that the Ming army was already close to a hundred paces, he said in a deep voice: "Order, prepare!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The voice of the pro-soldier suddenly sounded a lot.

Soon after the soldiers sent the order to each hundred households, the Ming army entered the hundred steps, this time, Qin Danian personally gave the order, and he said in a tiger voice: "Shoot!" ”

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Hundreds of bullets, at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, whizzed out of the muzzle of the gun and met the Ming army that rushed towards them.

Hundreds of Ming soldiers fell, and most of the wounds were squeezed under them, only they knew.

The Ming soldiers only heard a "crackling" sound, and their companions in front of their side fell down in response, screaming miserably, they really did not understand what was happening, and due to inertia, their feet were still rushing forward.

But they soon understood the wounds, the pain, and the faint light of fire coming from front of them......

"How can the thief's fire# gun be so powerful...... 100 steps away......"

Such a voice could only be heard by themselves, and the soldiers fell to the ground one by one with questions, slowly losing their ability to think, and did not pass on their feelings to Feng Ju before they died.

In less than three rounds of fire, the five hundred Ming troops, including the thousand generals with them, did not have a single soldier standing.

Qin Danian had long heard of the power of the rifle, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still surprised, and it was not until his own soldiers reminded him that he understood that the first wave of attacks of the Ming army had been completely disintegrated.

It's not disintegration, it's total annihilation!

It turns out that the rifle is really so magical, no wonder the Metropolitan Governor ......

The call of the wounded soldiers of the Ming army under the slope made Qin Danian return to reality, the Ming army was not dead, the battle was the beginning, he was wearing the camouflage uniform, and said calmly: "Point shooting, the target is the wounded soldier!" ”

The Xining rifle made its usual "bang" sound again, the gunfire started, the sound of people was extinguished, and the wounded soldiers of the Ming army under the slope disappeared little by little......

What was even more surprising than Qin Danian was Feng Ju on the other side, it was only a time to soak in urine, and all the five hundred Ming troops fell?

Although he had never heard of the Xining rifle, he knew from the sound that the thieves must have used firearms.

How could the thieves' firearms be so sharp, even the imperial court......

Feng Ju's mind was stunned for a while, how could this battle be fought? Not to mention 500, even if 5,000 soldiers are pressed up, what can it do? It's not just a little bit longer......

"General, the thieves are shooting the wounded, do you want to take them back......"

The words of the guards suddenly sounded in his ears, Feng Ju hurriedly raised his eyes and looked forward, the thieves were really shooting the wounded soldiers, a soldier had just gotten up, his hands were covering his ribs, and he was about to run back, but he was shot in many places, and he stayed for a while, and his right hand covering the wound slowly hung down, and then he stumbled and fell to the ground......

"Ma Qiao, the thief is clearly bullying us......"

For the wounded soldiers, Feng Ju originally didn't care much, once the soldiers were injured on the battlefield, it was difficult to save them, even if they survived, they were crippled, and it was better to die than to die for a lifetime.

However, these are his brothers, and seeing them being sent to Bliss by thieves one by one, if he doesn't say it, how can he let his brothers serve in the future?

Unlike Dai Junen, who was born as a civil official, Feng Ju was originally a soldier, and the fiasco he had just experienced had already made him red-eyed, and now the thieves were shooting wounded soldiers again...... His pupils were suddenly filled with blood, and he bit the root of his teeth, pulled out the war knife at his waist, raised his head to the sky, and shouted: "Kill, avenge the brothers......"
