Chapter 725: Hors d'oeuvres

Whether they wanted to or not, the two armies finally met at the tip of the needle, and the militia on the road played the role of a blocker, and the officers who led the team did not want these peasants to do any miracles, but only hoped that the Miyakojima army on the opposite side would be delayed for half a day, so that they would be able to make a good deal at that time, lest one or two cities be breached before the king's army came, and the officers who were stationed in the villages and towns along the way would be whipped.

Li Yang glanced contemptuously at the sparse army in front of him, less than five hundred farmers, and he also learned to attack in formation, without even charging, Li Yang was sure that a rain of arrows would be enough to collapse the opposing army.

In the end, Li Yang decided to give the slave legion a chance, after all, it was also an opportunity for actual combat training, and it would be a pity to miss it. The commander's banner waved forward, and the war drums rumbled. Wang Hu, who was at the front of the team, knew that Li Yang had allowed him to attack, and he was excited to gallop his horse and patrol all the way in front of the array.

"Everyone, pay attention, you will use a trot later, and then sprint after reaching nearly fifty meters!" Wang Hu shouted the order, an array of 1,000 people, three rows in front and back, less than two hundred meters in length, ran back and forth in more than half a minute, I believe everyone understood the order, and now Wang Hu is waiting for the charge.

This is also a new practice introduced by Li Yang, which requires the coach's charge number to be confirmed as a signal before charging, rather than just the dance of the flag, which also avoids human error.

"Woo woo" The dull and long charge horn sounded, Wang Hu took the lead, and all the slave soldiers were like chickens, and they couldn't control their pace at the beginning.

Some of them were calm, but they could still remember the order, and carefully controlled the speed, and some of the soldiers who were already so excited that their necks were red were running at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

"MD, slow down, slow down, you're not horses!" Wang Hu was angry and swore angrily.

The usual training and passwords became clouds at this time, and some soldiers were still speeding up each other.

Fortunately, the enemy was even more unbearable than the Miyakojima soldiers, and they all trembled a little when they saw the enemy screaming excitedly, and several of them rushed very fiercely.

In fact, at this time, for the well-trained army, it is definitely a good opportunity to stick to the formation and defuse the enemy's attack.

However, the Ryukyu peasant soldiers did not understand, and neither did their leading officers, and the many wars he experienced were all about morale, and whoever had the highest morale and who rushed fiercely would win.

At this time, seeing the Miyakojima soldiers descending the mountain like a tiger, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth, NND, I thought that there would be no war in the west recently, so I was specially transferred from the south, and I still couldn't escape my fate. Before the officer could regret what he had done, the soldiers of the Slave Legion had already crashed headlong into his ranks.

"Ahh With a scream, the slave soldier who was in the lead was instantly pierced by three or four spears, and soon his eyes lost life.

This is the result of the chaotic stragglers, each of whom will face an enemy many times his size on the local battlefield, and the only way to be strangled is to be killed. However, the slave soldiers did not seem to know what fear was, and the soldiers behind rushed into the Ryukyu army without hesitation.

The two sides were stuck together, as more and more slave legion soldiers poured forward, the Nanshan army formation was loosened, although the peasant soldiers in front were often conscripted into the army, and they had fought many battles, but because of this, they clearly knew which enemies had a chance to defeat, and which enemies you didn't even think about.

It was such an army that was now entangled with them, and with their five hundred peasants, there was no way to fight it.

What to do, at this time, the farmer soldiers in the front row began to retreat desperately to avoid being ruthlessly slaughtered in the front, and the soldiers in the back row were ready to turn around and run at any time.

The whole battle lasted less than ten minutes, and the soldiers of Nanshan Kingdom seemed to have discussed it, and at the same moment, like an avalanche, everyone dropped their weapons and fled backwards, and the uniformity of the escape was breathtaking, without anyone giving orders, everyone's time was just right.

"Stop the pursuit, stop the pursuit!" Wang Hu worked hard to restrain his troops, after the battle just now, he knew that this slave army still needs a lot of tempering, this army is not to say elite, now it is not even qualified, at this time the enemy fled all over the mountains, if it is a pursuit, then no one can find it.

Li Yang's follow-up troops also slowly followed, Wang Hu rode his horse to the banner of Shuai, and Li Yang was also waiting for him there.

"Lord, this ...... I didn't train well. ”

"Whoever goes into battle for the first time is like this, the morale is very high, and the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded later, and the morale can be boosted!" Li Yang comforted Wang Hu.

This battle can only be regarded as an appetizer, and more vicious battles await this young army in the future.

After containing a small group of prisoners, Li Yang prepared to send them back to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to work as coolies when the next supply team came.

At present, the logistics and supply transportation are all in charge of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and his hundreds of armed personnel can take turns to take on the responsibility of escorting, plus Li Yang's team has brought enough supplies for half a month, so there is no need to worry about logistics problems. Nearly 100 horses were transported across the sea and all of them were used as reconnaissance horses, and Li Yang was well aware of the importance of intelligence work, and he could calmly arrange the enemy before he discovered it, and this was the first thing that the generals needed to pay attention to.

Now that he has gone deep into the enemy's territory, any mistake will be fatal, so Li Yang does not want to make this kind of mistake, not only does the army bring the merchants who have been traveling in the territory of Nanshan Country all the year round as guides, but he is also not afraid of trouble, and he goes out to scout and ride.

The sun was setting in the west, and it would be dark in a while, so Wang Hu found a place against a small hill and a clear spring next to it, so he set up camp here.

The accompanying carriages and three-wheeled carts unloaded the tarpaulins loaded on them and began to set up tents, and many men also took out their guys and prepared to bury the pot and make rice.

Li Yang, who was vigilant, took Wang Hu, Wu Yong, and Wang Hu to patrol the camp everywhere, and the horses outside the camp must be strictly rejected, not only the horses but also the people, and the necessary distance between the tents and tents should be maintained, and simple ditches were dug in the camps and camps of different troops, which not only increased the defense but also prevented their own people from running around.

When all these things were done, the sun had sunk in the west, and the smell of cooking wafted from the camp.

"Let's eat." Li Yang took the lead and walked towards a pot, took a bowl casually, gave himself a bowl of multigrain rice, and sat on the ground to eat.

Everyone also did the same, took dishes and chopsticks, sat down with the soldiers, and ate them.
