Li Chengdong looked as if he was doubting his life. He couldn't figure out why the food, armor, and combat power of the army of the Remnant Bright Empire had become so strange.
In the camp, many soldiers were already making a ruckus.
Exploding the camp was very troublesome, and it was very likely that it would collapse directly.
"Xiao Shan, immediately bring your personal guards and capture the soldier who led the attack!”
Dozens of soldiers were captured.
"Why are you causing trouble?"
"We can't eat our fill. We can't eat well. 50,000 people are trapped by thousands of enemies. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?”
Li Chengdong was so angry that his face turned green.
"Presumptuous! There are thousands of heavy cavalrymen outside. Do you see the plate armor on their bodies? The horses are not ordinary warhorses, how are we going to fight them? Can the podao and red tasseled spear in your hands break armor?”
The soldiers lowered their heads and looked at the weapons in their hands. Indeed, they could not break through the armor.
"General, we can't be trapped here and starve to death! After being trapped for a few days and running out of food, we'll have no hope at all!”
"Wait, wait for Lord Tudor! The White Banners Army's combat power was off the charts. They would definitely be able to defeat these few thousand heavy cavalry!”，Li Chengdong's eyes were firm, but he was not confident at all.
The surrounding soldiers lowered their heads. The biscuits in their hands were unusually unpalatable.
Suddenly, a loud sound came from outside the camp.
"Soldiers of the Great Ming Empire, you are all citizens of the Great Ming Empire. There is no need for you to work for Slave Jian! In our camp, we have enough food and braised pork!”
Hearing the voices outside the camp urging them to surrender, many soldiers became excited.
They fought to fill their stomachs, and now the smell of meat outside the camp permeated the entire camp.
Li Chengdong arranged his 500 men in the camp.
"If anyone dares to take half a step out of the camp, kill them without mercy!”
The five hundred servants were heavily armored, and they were Li Chengdong's most elite soldiers. They were the servants he relied on to save his life several times.
The five hundred servants were tall and strong, and they had heavy armor.
The other soldiers in the camp, who were wearing tattered cotton and bamboo armor, looked at the elite servants and instantly did not dare to make any noise.
Outside the camp, the voices urging them to surrender continued.
"General Pu, the enemy is not moving at all!”
Pu Zhenguo was very calm.
"We are only trying to disrupt their morale. Even if they surrender, we cannot continue using them. After all, their hands are stained with the blood of too many people!”
Ma Zhanshan nodded.
"Yes, His Majesty said that we must eliminate these enemies! For the enemies who surrendered, according to the crimes committed, those who should be imprisoned would be imprisoned, and those who should be sentenced to death would be sentenced to death!”
"For these people who betrayed Great Ming, they should be given the punishment they deserve!”，Pu Zhenguo said angrily.
The soldiers were still persuading them to surrender. Pu Zhenguo and Ma Zhanshan had even prepared a captive camp.
There was no reaction from the camp.
"General Ma, this shouldn't be! The enemy infantrymen did not come out of the camp to fight, nor did they surrender.”
Ma Zhanshan gasped.
"I'm afraid they're waiting for the reinforcements from Guangzhou Prefecture's Tuoduo!”
Pu Zhenguo frowned.
"General Ma, why didn't you kill all three thousand of the enemy's light cavalry?”
"General Pu, you are an infantry general. Do you understand cavalry combat? Can the horses of my heavy-armored cavalrymen catch up to the light cavalrymen with heavy armor?”
Pu Zhenguo thought about it and realized that Ma Zhanshan was right.
"Right, right, right. The light cavalry has an obvious advantage in speed. Moreover, they are running away without caring about their lives.”
Ma Zhanshan was very calm. Just now, with a single charge, he was knocked to death, trampled to death, and killed two thousand light cavalry.
The advantage of the heavy cavalry was obvious. The most important thing was that the arrows shot by the enemy's light cavalry could not penetrate the plate armor at all.
It pierced through the plate armor, and there was even a layer of chain armor inside. Such a powerful defense was even stronger than the defense of the Eight Banner Soldiers.
This was only the southern heavy cavalry. The border troops and the capital camp heavy cavalry were stronger, and the Guanning Cavalry were even more powerful.
"General Pu, did you see our heavy cavalry charge just now?”
"I saw it. Charge over. The enemy's light cavalry's warhorse collided with our warhorse and rolled on the ground. The battle sabers in your hands slashed across, and many enemies on horseback were cut into pieces by your Mo sabers. The scene was too shocking!"
Ma Zhanshan's excitement was indescribable.
"I feel like our heavy cavalrymen can exchange blows with the heavy cavalrymen with the white flag of Tordor!”
Pu Zhenguo stopped Ma Zhanshan.
"Nonsense! His Majesty's 60,000-strong army has not arrived yet, so we can't start a war rashly! This is His Majesty's strategic plan. First, we will take down Zhaoqing Prefecture, Guangzhou Prefecture, and Chaozhou Prefecture, and bring the entire Guangdong Province under His Majesty's direct jurisdiction! If you lose 5,000 heavy cavalry, His Majesty's plan will probably be delayed!”
Ma Zhanshan was helpless. He picked up a pork trotter and started eating.
"These pigs and cows were transported from the second town center, right?”
"Yes, it's the first town center on Qiongzhou Island. It's very troublesome to transport cattle and pigs. They could only be transported from the second city center of the Leizhou Prefecture!”
Every day, the soldiers were provided with half a kilogram of rice, half a kilogram of meat, half a kilogram of vegetables, and half a kilogram of fruits.
Each soldier consumed three units of food per day. The food carried by the 500 carriages was enough for them to last for a month.
As for fruits, most of them were sealed in jars, which was equivalent to canned fruits in the future.
The sumptuous food made the enemies in the camp watch enviously from the side.
Although the Green Army soldiers were envious, they did not have the courage to walk out of the camp and surrender.
The five hundred servants, their heavy armor and podao were not to be trifled with.
Li Chengdong calculated in his heart. The Tudor White Flag was in Guangzhou Prefecture, two hundred miles away. It would only take two days to reach it if they marched at full speed.
"Li Xiao Shan, I've decided to form a suicide squad to break out and ask Duo Duo and Tong Yangjia for help!”
Li Xiao Shan covered his swollen face and frowned.
"Godfather, why don't you let the others go?”
Li Chengdong held his sword and leaned on the ground.
"Go, you can live! If you don't go, die!"
As his foster son, Li Xiao Shan was dumbfounded. He had never thought that his foster father would be so vicious.
