The battle continued, and people on both sides continued to fall, and the Destroyer Tiger was not in a hurry to use the habitual bandits of the old camp to launch a general attack, he thought that after this battle, he could select the strong people who survived to join the old camp and feed them.

What is it that cannon fodder is dead? There is simply not enough food to eat, and if you die more useless, you will have fewer mouths to eat.

The intentions of the rogue to coerce the common people on a large scale are extremely vicious, not only making them cannon fodder in wartime, but also turning the women and children who are coerced into the common people when the food runs out, and becomes the food of these heartbroken and mad thieves.

Knowing that a large number of rogues were attacking Yiyang County, Guo Sanxi did not retreat, he continued to lead the team to speed up, and soon the scouts of Zhu Guobing found a four-wheeled carriage galloping from the direction of Yiyang County.

This car is actually a product of the Huang family, Guo Sanxi has no cavalry, only seven of the thirty-six scouts are officers from the family master's personal army who can ride and fight, and the other twenty or so people have impeccable riding skills, and they still need to practice a lot in cavalry.

These people are former Ming post guards recruited by the Huang family, and they have the same experience as Li Duyan, they are all unemployed young adults after being laid off from the post office.

The scout saw the carriage from Yiyang County, of course, he wanted to intercept it and inquire about the situation, Zhu Guobing and other eighteen knights and four Li Jiabao martial artists surrounded the carriage, and the people on the carriage did not dare to resist in the face of the fire hammer and the bright axe, and they also found that most of these knights were wearing Ming army mandarin duck battle jackets.

He saw the neatly dressed cavalry of the Ming army, thought that reinforcements were coming, refused to reveal that he was abandoning the city and fled, did not answer the knights' questions, but only asked which part of them were and how many people came.

Xu Sijiu and Guo Sanxi, who were speeding up along the official road, saw Jin Huijia, the two of them appeared in the costumes of the Ming military attachés from the fifth rank and the fifth grade, and there were hundreds of soldiers behind them, Jin Huijia thought that these two people should be the main generals of the Ming army.

He immediately identified himself and told Xu Sijiu that there should be tens of thousands, and the small soldiers in Yiyang City were too weak to hold on, so he rushed out of the city to rescue the soldiers.

Xu Sijiu has been running many places in the Central Plains these days, and he has long seen that this Jinzhi County is abandoning the city and fleeing, but he doesn't break it, so he thinks that the county master is really out of the city to ask for help.

Xu Sijiu and Guo Sanxi immediately decided to speed up and attack the rogues as soon as possible, even if the thieves had broken the city, it was impossible to quickly control the situation, as long as they were sent out, too many families would be saved and too many people could be saved.

Just when the Destroying Tigers found that the rolling wood and stones at the head of Yiyang City had been exhausted, they launched a general attack on the old battalion of the new force, and rushed to the city many times, and Yiyang City was in danger, there was a great chaos in the west, and there was a "Bah, Bah, Woo....... The sound of fire.

Li Zhongzheng, who led the soldiers and civilians to start hand-to-hand combat with the rogues who rushed to the city, heard the sound of firecrackers and shouted: "Fellow villagers, it must be the officers and soldiers who are coming to the rescue, we are saved, quickly beat the thieves!" ”

Many young men defending the city also heard the sound of firecrackers, and the morale of the soldiers and civilians at the head of Yiyang City was greatly boosted in an instant.

Some of them stabbed with spears, some slashed with large knives, and some only had wooden sticks, and at this time they were also smashed roundly, and the thieves, who had been shaken by the morale of the army, could not resist for a while and left two or three hundred corpses and fled.

Guo Sanxi's own force is terrifying, he looks tall and big, and when he is about to fight, he wears an all-steel cuirass in addition to the soft armor and cotton armor, among these 800 people, there are 66 officers from the Huang family's private soldiers, and the rest are also the best in the 5,000 townships.

Because the closer you get to the battlefield, the more likely you are to face an encounter, so those left along the way are people with less skills or physical strength, and the last more than 700 villagers are of course heroes.

Although these villagers do not have breastplates and winding soft armor, they all have cotton armor made of canvas material lined with steel wire exclusively produced by the Huang family.

This kind of armor is light and warm, and the protection is enough to resist the bow and arrows of the Liukou, even if it is shot directly by the Ming army's standard foot bow at about forty or fifty steps.

Because it was winter, the thick cotton clothes also played a protective role, and the archery level of the Liukou was far worse than that of Jiannu, and they didn't have many bows.

There were too few cavalry in Guo Sanxi's ranks, only seven officers could be counted as cavalry, the others could only be regarded as mounted infantry, and the eight martial artists of Lijiabao could not attack the enemy.

Dealing with daily affairs is Xu Sijiu, who has a slightly higher position, has the final say, and it is Guo Sanxi, the military commander, who is in charge of the war, and the least one of the Huang family's combat regulations is to obey orders and listen to commands.

Guo Sanxi arranged for Xu Sijiu to take 100 Xiangyong and 9 propaganda team auxiliaries to break off, and he and 66 officers took the lead in charging into battle with helmets and armor, followed by 200 Xiangyong who used wooden poles and spears.

Thirty-nine men on horseback, led by seven cavalry officers, found the enemy fleeing and covered up in the rear in an effort to expand the victory. Behind the cavalry were four hundred townsmen pushing wheelbarrows full of grain.

Behind is Yiyang Zhixian and four family members who are still accompanied by a four-wheeled carriage.

It is close to the battlefield, food is life, if you win the battle and lose food, maybe even the Huang family's private soldiers will be hungry, saving people is a joke, if you don't hurry back to Liujiabao, everyone may starve to death, where is there enough energy to manage the hungry people who are waiting to be fed?

The team of the Liukou was in a mess, their sentry horses were not far away at all, coupled with lax discipline, the few sentry horses had already learned that Yiyang County was breached in front of them, and they all fantasized about entering the city early to rob the gold and silver treasures and sleeping beauties, and they all went down to Yiyang City.

When Guo Sanxi appeared with the team, he happened to attack the rear team of the rogue team in the east of Yiyang City, and before the battle, Guo Sanxi told everyone to attack the rogue who was well-dressed and well-armed, and nine times out of ten these people were habitual bandits or leaders.

Clothes are in tatters, and those with sticks can let them go as long as they don't take the initiative to attack.

Indeed, the homeless people who have just been coerced will be taken by the habitual bandits if they have good clothes, and they will not be able to use armor and weapons even more when they have them, and it will be good to only target the better-equipped enemy.

The sixty-seven private soldiers of the Huang family who strode forward approached the rogue and decisively fired flintlock pistols or double-barreled short guns, and immediately many rogue leaders were killed on the spot, and the rogue in the east of Yiyang City, who was suddenly attacked, collapsed instantly.

The tall and mighty Guo Sanxi inserted a double-barreled short gun in the air, a light steel round shield in his left hand, and a one-handed battle axe in his right hand, like a killing god.

He was fully armed, the protection was sufficient, the arrows shot by the thieves were fluttering, Guo Sanxi didn't bother to use the light steel round shield to block, he used the steel shield as an attack weapon to slash his head and face to greet the enemy.

Guo Sanxi double-clicked his left and right hands, and the flesh and blood flew in front of him, and there was no thief soldier who could make a move in front of him.
