Outside the county town of Yangcheng County, the rebel army poured out of the nest and was being reviewed by the main general at this time.

Hu Biao looked at the uneven line and sighed helplessly.

The rebel army that has now captured Yuzhou is basically from peasant background, and has not undergone systematic training at all.

Although he took up arms and served as a soldier at this time, the organization and discipline were extremely poor, and he did not have the appearance of a regular army at all.

This cannot be blamed on the incompetence of the generals, but these untrained rebels are really useless.

If they are allowed to fight a tailwind battle, it is naturally not a problem, but once they suffer a little like in the Battle of Jizhou, then this group of soldiers will break and flee.

Now the soldiers of the Xiaozi Battalion from Qingzhou are wantonly distributing food in Yangcheng County to form a new army, and Hu Biao, who was born in rebellion, is deeply worried when he looks at the growing power.

Hu Biao couldn't understand why those officials in his impression would distribute food to the poor?

After counting the soldiers and horses in the city, about 20,000 people, this time he will send troops to attack the Qingzhou soldiers.

Prior to this, Hu Biao also sent a letter to the rebel army in Yuzhou Mansion alone.

But he knew in his heart that now the rebel army in the entire Yuzhou was short of food, and it was unlikely that he would want to transfer troops over, and all he could rely on now was his own soldiers and horses in his hands.

"Let's go."

Under Hu Biao's order, the rebel army marched and went straight to the target Zaozi Village.

On the other hand, the new army side of Zaozi Village had already received the news long before the army in Yangcheng County was launched.

Now the number of ordinary soldiers recruited by Lingshui County in the entire Yangcheng County is very large.

The number of new troops formed along the mass line has exceeded 10,000, and Jin Zi is also ready to meet the next challenges with high spirits.

Some time ago, the cannons sent by Xiao Jiu had been transported to the army, and Jin Zi was very confident in the power of these cannons.

The entire new army was stationed in various parts of Zaozi Village, just waiting for the rebel army from Yangcheng County to arrive and deliver a fatal blow.

Through a previous visit to the village, it was learned that there was only one peasant rebel army of about 20,000 people in Yangcheng County at this time.

Before Jin Zi led the new army to besiege the city, the leader Hu Biao couldn't sit still and wanted to exterminate himself.

"General, do you want to ask for help from home?"

Listening to the slightly timid inquiries of his subordinates, Kaneko only shook his head lightly with a slight smile.

Jin Zi can be regarded as having followed Xiao Jiu through a lot of wars, big and small, and now that it is almost the end of the year, he is ready to make a great contribution before going back.

Moreover, these newly recruited militias will not do much if they do not experience a real baptism of war.

Subsequently, Jin Zi ordered to mobilize all the new troops developed in Yangcheng County to gather in the base area of Zaozi Village.

And the families of those soldiers who joined the army were sent to Lingshui County to settle down as early as when they first joined the army.

Early the next morning, the rebel army that poured out of the county seat of Yangcheng County arrived at Zaozi Village and stopped.

The two armies faced each other, and the soldiers on both sides were slightly nervous, but the morale of the rebel side was better.

In terms of numbers, the rebel army had a natural advantage, and now it was the attacking side, so it was naturally more confident than the new army, which had just been formed by the peasants.

But Jin Zi also has something else to rely on in his heart, and now he has arranged four cannons transported from Lingshui County at the back of the barracks.

In addition to this, a large number of crossbows were sent along with artillery to arm the newly formed new army.

As long as the rebels on the opposite side can't defeat them from a frontal turn, the new army will definitely be able to drag their opponents to death.

With the thunderous drums of war, Hu Biao, the chief general of the rebel army, rode a group of red-maned horses out of front of the battle.

"Who dares to invade my territory?"

On the side of the new army stationed in Zaozi Village, Jin Zi also rode out on horseback and marched to the front of the battle.

"I am the general of the Xiaozi Battalion in Lingshui County, and I will be arrested before I can tie my hands."

Following Xiao Jiu's expedition to the west for a long time, Jin Zi developed a majestic temperament, and responded with laughter in front of the two armies.

Seeing this, Hu Biao's face changed slightly, and then he stopped saying something and waved his hand to prepare to attack the city.

But the advancing army had not advanced a few steps before they saw four cannons placed at the entrance of Zaozi Village.

The barrel of the cannon was directly facing the non-commissioned soldiers on the side of the rebel army, and many people felt a hint of retreat in their hearts after seeing the barrel of the black hole.

In the ranks of the rebel army, many soldiers followed them to Jizhou, although most of them were killed by the Jizhou army.

But the surviving soldiers told their companions what they had seen.

In the battle of Jizhou City, the cannons of Shenwei were naturally copied with canvases, and their outlines were sent to the army for circulation.

Seeing the cannon that was no different from the picture appeared in front of his eyes, many people muttered in their hearts.

Hu Biao also knew about the abundance of cannons in Lingshui County, and he had also seen the power of cannons in Jizhou.

But when the rebel army withdrew from Jizhou, many smart people came back to their senses.

Although this cannon is amazingly powerful, it is only a dead thing after all, as long as it is not installed on the castle tower.

Then as long as the city lord attacks with the first wave of cannonballs, he can easily crush the opponent by taking advantage of the number of people.

Now all he had to do was keep order in order for his men to sound from the cannons.

I made up my mind that after the battle started in a while, I would kill a few deserters with my own hands.

Seeing that the menacing rebels were still stubbornly approaching, Kaneko also began to order to reload ammunition and prepare to fire.

"Peng~"

With a loud bang, the shells were fired from the barrel of the cannon towards the dense crowd.

The area covered by the shells invariably caused a terrifying lethality, and many of the rebel soldiers who pressed forward were frightened and about to retreat.

"No return."

"Those who dare to be deserters will be killed."

Hu Biao rode on his horse, brandishing the big knife in his hand to block behind the rebel soldiers.

The soldier turned around and saw that his master was cutting off the retreat like a door god behind him, and he could only continue to move forward.

In fact, Hu Biao was also afraid in his heart, he was not sure if the cannon in front of him would destroy these soldiers under him.

But since the troops were dispatched this time, they must not return empty-handed.

Besides, now the entire Yuzhou is short of food, and he is not afraid of the dead at all, and the soldiers under his command are dead, as long as there is enough food, they can still quickly pull up an army.

Jin Zi on the opposite side was also a little surprised to see that the enemy was not deterred by the first round of artillery bombardment, and was still shouting and charging forward.

But he soon calmed down and began to order his men to load their bows and crossbows and prepare to shoot.

In the deafening sound of artillery fire, the two sides met and started hand-to-hand combat.

A tributary arrow slashed across the battlefield filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the mouths of the fallen soldiers from time to time kept ringing out of their mouths.

The meat grinder-like battlefield was bleeding and drifting, and a strong smell of blood came to the face.

Jin Zi led his cavalry battalion to the front of the ranks, and the cavalry of Xiao Zi's battalion continued to take away lives with their bows and crossbows.

The rebel side that came to attack suffered heavy casualties under the artillery fire, but it could still occupy the numerical advantage.

It's just that the new army that has just been formed is now armed with a crossbow, and it is harvesting the lives of the enemy from afar.

"Why do they all have crossbows?"

As soon as he entered hand-to-hand combat, Hu Biao, the leader of the rebel army, noticed that something was wrong.

He had been guarding against the four cannons that the opponent had placed on the wall, thinking that as long as he survived the shelling, he could directly push the opponent sideways with the advantage of numbers.

But when he got closer, he found that his group of soldiers with inferior weapons had died on the road before they could touch the corners of the other party's clothes.

The newly formed group of new troops in Zaozi Village were still terrified when they saw the crowd on the other side at first.

But with the firing of the cannon, he suddenly became overjoyed after realizing the power of the crossbow in his hand.

Unlike the bows and arrows produced in Lingshui County, which required a strong draw and a slow rate of fire, these new soldiers could inflict intensive firing as long as they continued to fire.

Seeing that his subordinates were constantly being shot with bows and crossbows by the militia in Zaozi Village, and the spears and blades in the hands of those people were much stronger than their own side, Hu Biao spat fiercely.

"The pro-soldier team, slaughtered their general with Lao Tzu."

A loud shout came out of Hu Biao's mouth, and then Hu Biao led his most elite troops towards the Golden Cavalry Battalion.

I have to say that this Hu Biao is also a delicate and ruthless person, and now he just wants to capture the thief and kill the gold from the previous king.

Relying on the numerical superiority of the cavalry on the rebel side, Hu Biao directly led the team to storm the cavalry battalion and hacked to death several soldiers who blocked the road one after another.

All of this was seen by Jinzi, but there was no trace of horror in Jinzi's eyes at this time, and there was even a slight sadistic smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Peng~"

An earth-shattering bang exploded on the road where Hu Biao rushed forward, and many rebel soldiers and horses who rushed up were directly blown away several meters.

The air wave generated by the explosion formed a shock wave that quickly swept the whole scene, and many people were shocked and refreshed.

Hundreds of rebel cavalry were blown into a puddle of minced meat, and Hu Biao in the forward team was directly blown away without a trace, which was far more shocking than the artillery bombardment.

"General, the general is dead."

One of the rebel soldiers muttered unconsciously in his mouth, still recovering from the earth-shattering noise.

But his eyes stirred up a thousand waves, and the soldiers of the rebel army who came to attack instantly collapsed when they heard this, and began to retreat one after another.

Seeing this, Jin Zi did not give the rebel army in front of him a chance to escape, and rushed forward with his cavalry battalion in the lead.

"The head of the thief is dead, kill me."

With a roar of gold, the cavalry behind him took out their long knives like tigers descending from the mountain and began to slash at the enemy frantically.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the New Army, who had been in a defensive posture in the back, were greatly boosted and began to counterattack behind with crossbows.

At this time, the offense and defense switched, and the original hunter also became the prey.

With the death of Hu Biao, the rebel army did not have the leader to come forward to maintain the situation, and there was a large-scale rout in an instant.

The enemy in the rear continued to chase after them, and launched a one-sided slaughter under the leadership of the Golden Cavalry Battalion.
