As time passed, the fighting between the Ming army and the thieves became more and more fierce. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info However, no matter how desperate the outlaws among the thieves were, they were never able to break through the defensive formation of the Ming army from the front, but left countless corpses behind. Although the pikemen of the Ming army also fell occasionally, they were quickly replaced by the pikemen in the next row, and the number of casualties was completely negligible compared to that of the thieves.

Some of the more clever thieves saw a little bit of the doorway, avoided the pikemen in front of them, and made a detour to the flank and rear of the formation to attack, in a vain attempt to open a gap in the Ming army's defensive formation, but the Ming army's sword and shield soldiers once again dashed their good wishes. It was also a simple move without any tricks, and it was also a sharp blow that had been practiced after countless repetitions and boring training, and the powerful slashing of the Ming sabers and shield soldiers made many thieves lose their heads. Although there are many fierce people who kill people among the thieves, in essence, they are just a group of rabble who only care about their own martial arts. More than half of the officers and men in Ganzhou Town may not be as good as those bandits in terms of individual combat effectiveness, but after systematic tactical training, their overall combat effectiveness has long far surpassed that of the bandits who have almost no rules to follow.

Seeing that they could not open the situation, almost all of the thieves were red-eyed in anger and shame, and they rushed towards the Ming army in front of them, knowing that there was little hope. The Ming soldiers also crushed the attacks of the thieves again and again in an orderly manner under the command of the officers and the commanders and commanders. After experiencing the initial period of timidity and panic, the recruits also sobered up one after another, and brought into full play the results of their usual training little by little.

Before I knew it, nearly an hour had passed. The originally fierce thieves have gradually reached the end of the crossbow, and although the Ming army has suffered some casualties, the defensive array is still tightly organized. Around the formation, the corpses of the thieves were piled up like hills.

I can't fight anymore, if I continue to fight like this, my little family will be exhausted! Seeing that his minions kept falling, but they couldn't shake the defensive formation of the Ming army by half a minute, so Tianlong trembled and said silently in his heart. At this time, he had already put aside the great ambitions he had set and began to worry about his future situation: if he gave away all this bit of family wealth, how would he gain a foothold in this area in the future? It's better to withdraw, and keep the current strength first.

After making up his mind, Tianlong ordered the gong to be retracted. The sudden sound of the gong put an end to the last madness of the thieves, and they lost the last fighting spirit after being unable to break the deadlock from beginning to end, leaving behind the corpses and wailing companions, and fled backwards without looking back.

However, Pang Yue did not order a pursuit, but ordered the whole army to continue to maintain a defensive formation. When the thieves gradually moved away, an officer of Ganzhou Town took the lead and roared loudly, and then a deafening cheer resounded over the entire phalanx.

"Da Ming is mighty!!"

"Ganzhou Town is mighty!!"

……

The officers and men who were immersed in the joy of victory kept raising the weapons in their hands, almost shouting hoarsely, and some of the recruits even took off their red hats and threw them into the air, provoking a reprimand from the commander or even the commander.

Pang Yue did not stop this scene. He knew that the soldiers had gone through many emotional twists and turns, from the initial nervousness and fear to the current joy, and if they were not allowed to vent properly now, there would be problems. After all, the current Ganzhou Town is still dominated by new recruits, and everyone cannot be required to be honored and disgraced.

"Hahaha...... My lord, we won! Lu Qiwu pointed to the mountains of thieves' corpses on the periphery, and laughed loudly, "These thieves who don't know the height of the sky have been defeated by us like this!" Defeated at the hands of Ganzhou Town! ”…,

Cui Shoucheng's face also showed a rare smile: "This is the first battle since my Ganzhou Town became an army, and it can be described as the first victory!" This is also thanks to the training plan made by the adults before and the command of today! ”

Pang Yue smiled and shook his head: "This is all the result of the hard training and hard work of the soldiers, how dare I be greedy for merit?" ”

Then, after sending men to guard and monitor the whereabouts of the thieves, Pang Yue ordered to clean up the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and count the number of casualties and kills on his side. At this time, the recruits who had just woken up from the frenzy had an uncomfortable reaction, and in the face of the corpses strewn on the battlefield and the thick smell of blood, many of them squatted on the ground and vomited, until the sky was dark.

"Damn, I'm tired!" In a corner of the battlefield, Wang Zhangtang wiped a handful of blood stains on his face, sat on the ground, and couldn't stop panting. When he saw a soldier beside him lying on the ground and vomiting, his face suddenly sank, and he immediately slapped the back of the unlucky ghost's head, and shouted angrily: "Liu Wu, you are useless!" What a fucking disgrace to your family! Just by virtue of your cowardice, dare to say that you are a descendant of the Qi family's army? ”

The soldier who was called Liu Wu was also an obligor, and he was a fellow villager recruited by Wang Zhangtang from his hometown last time. After being slapped, Liu Wu continued to vomit, and he didn't have the strength to reply at all, but just pointed nearby with his hand. Wang Zhangtang looked in the direction of Liu Wu's finger, and saw that most of the recruits under his command were vomiting, and when he looked around, there were even more soldiers who vomited darkly. Seeing this, he could only sigh heavily.

Pang Yue had already seen this situation, but he didn't take it to heart. Most recruits have to go through this step, and after throwing up a few more times, they can gradually adapt to the bloodshed of the battlefield and grow into real veterans.

The number of casualties and the number of enemies killed were quickly counted, and the town of Ganzhou killed more than 700 thieves at the cost of more than 80 people killed and more than 50 seriously wounded. In addition, the thieves also left more than 100 seriously wounded on the battlefield, and under Pang Yue's order, these people all got a good time. In this way, the number of enemies killed was nearly 900.

Knowing such a result, Lu Qiwu, Cui Shoucheng and others were surprised. Although the thieves' equipment is not as sophisticated as that of Ganzhou Town, and the overall combat effectiveness is not very good, the one-to-ten exchange ratio still exhilarates everyone. In this regard, Pang Yue was not overjoyed, because in his opinion, if Ganzhou Town could train for a longer period of time, it would be able to reduce the loss to a smaller level.

After that, the officers and soldiers of Ganzhou Town began to clean up the dead bodies on the battlefield to avoid the occurrence of the plague. The bodies of the thieves were buried in several large pits, and the bodies of Ming officers and soldiers were cremated one by one and then put into an urn prepared in advance. After all this was done, all the officers and soldiers collectively took off their hats, and the birds and hands sounded to the sky to comfort the souls in the sky who had died in their robes.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Pang Yue ordered to find a place nearby to bury a pot to cook and rest temporarily, and sent a team of scouts to find the Flying Tiger Battalion.

After the officers and soldiers of the trapped camp and the Gangfeng Battalion had finished lunch, the Flying Tiger Battalion, which had gone to pursue the thief cavalry, finally returned. Seeing that the number of people who came back seemed to be a little smaller than when they set off, and there were even many wounded lying on horseback weakly, Pang Yue's heart suddenly tightened. You must know that at present, there is a shortage of war horses in Ganzhou Town, and the 800 cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion can be said to be the entire mobile force of the entire Ganzhou Town, and it is not easy to replenish it after the loss.

"Your Excellency!" Shi Youliang, who was covered in blood and slightly tired, turned over and dismounted and came to Pang Yue, throwing a hideous human head on the ground, "The Flying Tiger Battalion annihilated four hundred and ninety-six thieves and cavalry, and only a few of them escaped. This is the leader of the thief cavalry, a guy called the Golden Leopard, who wanted to escape at that time, but he still let me behead him! ”…,

Pang Yue smiled and nodded: "Zhou Ming and the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion have worked hard!" What about the casualties of our cavalry? ”

"More than 80 people were killed in the battle, and more than 60 were seriously wounded, but now I'm afraid more than half of them are no longer dead." Speaking of the casualty figures, Shi Youliang's tone couldn't help but be a little low.

"Okay, I see." Pang Yue said, "Take the soldiers who have come back to have some food, and hand over the wounded to the soldiers and lieutenants to see." "The number of casualties of the Flying Tiger Battalion is basically the same as that of the Gangfeng Battalion and the Trap Battalion, but the number of enemies killed is still slightly insufficient, which is naturally not what Pang Yue wants to see. But considering that the group of thieves and cavalry might be the elite of Sui Tianlong's subordinates, and the officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion had also done their best, he didn't say anything more.

"Yes, sir!" Shi Youliang replied with a fist.

It didn't take long for the scout team that went to monitor the movements of the thieves to send a fast horse to report that the remaining nearly 2,000 thieves had all retreated to Jiulong Mountain, and were repairing various fortifications and obstacles to resist the attack of Ganzhou Town.

Hearing the news, Pang Yue couldn't help but sneer. It seems that this battle really scared this gang of thieves! Sui Tianlong, who dared to come out to ambush this morning, turned into a shrunken turtle so quickly. But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem surprising that they have always been the king and hegemon in southern Jiangnan, but they lost more than 1,000 people in this battle alone, and they can't help but be afraid. This is probably the first war to scare the thieves!

After the army rested for a while, Pang Yue ordered: immediately send troops to Jiulong Mountain, rush to the bottom of the mountain to set up camp before sunset today, and completely turn those thieves into turtles in the urn!

At this time, the officers and soldiers of Ganzhou Town, who had won the first battle, had reached a peak in morale, and after hearing the order to immediately march to Jiulong Mountain, they not only did not complain at all, but were full of expectations in their hearts. In everyone's opinion, the thieves came prepared this morning and were beaten to the ground, and now they have become a flock of frightened birds, what is there to fear?

In this way, the officers and soldiers with high morale set out again on the journey after packing up, ready for the next battle and the next victory!
