The few generals behind Dong Maiguo gasped.
"Why did the Crown Prince come to our Qiongzhou Island?”
The dog-headed military advisor suddenly laughed out loud.
"Governor Dong, why don't you bring the emperor to command the vassals, or capture him and give him to the emperor of Slave Jian? Our future will be bright!”
Dong Maiguo smiled like a sunflower.
"Alright, capture him and offer him to the Emperor of Slave Jian. I can definitely continue to govern Qiongzhou Prefecture! Hahahaha!"
With a wave of his hand, a few generals led 1,800 state government soldiers and slowly formed a square formation.
In this era, war was not about charging forward like a swarm of bees, but about setting up a battle formation.
Zhu Ci Xin looked at the soldiers of the prefecture government who were wearing tattered battle jackets and snorted coldly.
"Can Pu Zhenguo defeat them?”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Two hours is enough for these dregs!”
Zhou Xunye asked curiously,""Your Majesty, have you thought about what to do after taking down Qiongzhou Island?”
"Devoted to development and training! Slave Jian wouldn't be able to reach Qiongzhou Island for a while!”,Zhu Ci said.
Qiongzhou Island was located in the southernmost part of the Ming Empire. Slave Jian still had two to three years before he could defeat the Tang Emperor. He could take the opportunity to recruit a large number of farmers and soldiers.
He wondered how the Emperor of Slave Jian would react when he suddenly appeared on land with an army of hundreds of thousands.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ci Xin became more confident in taking down Qiongzhou Island.
As long as they took down Jingzhou Island and produced some farmers and soldiers, they could upgrade to the level 3 town center. At that time, all the buildings would be upgraded to level 3, and the shipyard would be able to produce warships. A displacement of 500 materials (250 tons).
With a fleet, he could attack the coastal cities occupied by Slave Jian. He could also protect his Qiongzhou Island from being attacked.
Thinking of the dense fleet of the Great Ming Dynasty galloping across the ocean, Zhu Ci Xin was so excited that his entire body trembled.
Governor Dong Maiguo looked at Zhu Cihe, who was trembling in the distance, and felt extremely happy.
"Look, the fake emperor is trembling! Soldiers, capture him alive!"
Hoho ~~
Hoho ~~
The sword player slapped his shield and slowly walked to the front of Zhu Ciyao, setting up a shield wall.
The spearman and the sword card player crossed each other. The five-meter-long spear was all outside the shield.
The spear that was shining with a cold light stopped the slowly advancing formation.
" Strong archers, advance fifty steps!"
Hoho ~~
The two hundred strong archers shouted and marched forward.
Brand new battle jackets, brand new weapons, brand new appearances.
Dong Maiguo panicked when he saw this.
"Advisor Jun, they seem to be very elite!”
Advisor Jun's face was covered in sweat, and his back was also soaked in sweat.
"Governor, the enemies are much fewer than us! Take a gamble, and you'll be able to pledge allegiance to Slave Jian in the future!”
Dong Maiguo did not want to lose his Qiongzhou Island, so he gave the order to attack.
The five generals led a total of 1,800 soldiers and charged forward.
Charge wasn't a disorderly charge, but a slow jog.
Usually, they would only run faster and engage in close combat when they were about a hundred steps away.
500 steps ~
On a temporary high platform, soldiers holding flags were reporting the distance of the enemy.
400 steps ~
Pu Zhenguo was very nervous.
300 steps ~
A strong archer could shoot up to two hundred steps.
As for strong archers, they could only shoot twenty arrows at most and had to rest for four hours.
A strong bow was very taxing on the hands. If one did not rest, one's hands would easily be overworked and crippled. This was also the weakness of archers.
Two hundred steps ~
On the observation post, the soldiers kept waving their flags.
"Strong archers, get ready!"
150 steps ~
"Fire ~"
Hu ~~
Hu ~~~
Wave after wave of arrows flew towards the advancing enemy.
The enemies in the front row were the only soldiers wearing armor and were equipped with thick wooden shields.
The dense arrows flew out, and the soldiers in the front row were basically uninjured. Many of the soldiers at the back were shot in the head by the arrows and fell to the ground.
"Don't panic! Charge!"
When he was a hundred steps away, the enemy started running quickly.
Dong dong dong ~
The shields of the soldiers in the front row collided with the shields of the sword players.
Hu ~~~
The spearman behind the sword card player stabbed out with his five-meter-long spear.
"Damn it, why are their spears so long?”,A commander who was commanding the red-tasseled spear looked at the red-tasseled spear in his hand that was less than three meters long and asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, two red-tasseled spears pierced through the commander's throat.
The soldiers at the back were blocked by the sword players in front of them. Their spears stabbed out one after another, unable to take a step forward.
"General, we can't break through the enemy's defense line!”
"Messenger, quickly report to the governor!”
The messenger did not dare to delay and rode his horse towards Dong Maiguo.
"Governor, we can't break through the enemy's defense line!”
Dong Maiguo looked at the soldiers who had fallen in the distance, and his heart turned cold.
"Advisor Jun, what should we do?"
"We still have two Fran Machine Cannons!”
"Quick, bring up the Fran Machine Cannon!”
Two old Fran cannons were carried over by the servants.
"Should we have our soldiers evade?”
"No, just blow it up! Their lives are worthless!" Dong Maiguo's face darkened as he gave the order viciously.
Hong ~
Hong ~
The solid cannonball knocked over a swordsman.
The sword-shield-wielder's body shattered.
The other one landed among their own soldiers and smashed two of them.
The gap was quickly blocked.
" Strong archer, accurate kill!"
At this moment, the archers stopped firing and started aiming. They aimed at the enemy who was less than 50 steps away from the sword player.
One arrow after another pierced through the enemy's head.
Zhu Ci Xin was shocked by the archer's archery skills.
As expected of the soldiers of the system, even the lowest level soldiers could match Slave Jian's Eight Banners Army in archery.
The enemies blocked by the sword players were called out by the strong archers one after another.
More than 500 people fell to the ground, and the rest of the enemies showed signs of collapse.
In the era of cold weapons, an army that could withstand 30% of the casualties was considered elite.
The state capital army in front of them had already reached their limit by losing five hundred men.
"Everyone, attack!"
