Now that everything was ready, they only needed to follow the plan step by step. No enemy could stop them.
As soon as the 20,000-strong army spread out, it spread out for several miles. The battle groups, which were formed by regiments, charged into the territory of Ji 'nan Prefecture without stopping.
Zhang Daqiang, a soldier guarding the border of Zichuan County in Jinan Prefecture, stood on the wall and looked at the territory of Qingzhou Prefecture in boredom as usual.
The green flag on the wall fluttered in the wind.
They were obviously the Green Army soldiers who had been reorganized after surrendering to the Eight Banners.
"I wonder when this will end.”
Zhang Daqiang took off the water bottle at his waist and slowly took a sip. He could not help but complain.
"Alright, alright, we're about to change shifts. When we return to Zichuan, I'll treat the brothers to a drink.”
Chief Zhang Wu looked around and did not find anything unusual, so he immediately said.
After guarding for a full three months, it was finally time for a change in defense. He would never do this kind of hard work again!
More than a hundred people stayed in the village like this. There was no place to go around. It was extremely boring on weekdays.
When the soldiers heard Boss Ba's words, they naturally didn't make any more noise. Other than those who had to guard the wall, the others also went about their own business.
"What's that?"
Chief Zhang Wu narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
There, smoke and dust rose everywhere, as if an army was moving out.
When Zhang Wu said this, the others immediately stood up and looked into the distance.
In the distance.
The vanguard cavalry regiment of the 1st division was galloping forward on a rare smooth mountain path.
Zhu You Xin and the main officers of the 1st and 2nd divisions were with them.
"After we take down this outpost, we will take down Zichuan County in one go.”
Zhu Youqi looked at the warriors who were walking across the mountains with their warhorses and said to Jiang Zhiyong, the commander of the first cavalry regiment.
Jiang Zhiyong nodded with a serious expression. Then, he turned his horse around and rushed to the front.
At this moment, there was only one division of cavalry here. The other division of cavalry was taking a different route, leading the special forces squadron to take a detour to Jinan Prefecture.
As for the Second Division Cavalry Regiment and the Special Combat Squadron, Zhu Youqi was not worried about anything.
With their basic equipment, even if they encountered an enemy, they could retreat at any time even if they could not defeat them.
Moreover, there was a squadron of special forces soldiers following them. Even if they wanted to do something big, they would have to ask if the weapons in their hands would agree.
As long as they were in the Ji 'nan Prefecture, they would have to ask if the weapons in their hands agreed or not.
On the sentry post, Director Zhang Wu looked at the approaching smoke and dust, and his expression gradually became ugly.
"The Ming army is here, smoke!"
The Green Army soldiers from Zichuan County were shocked. They immediately put on their armor and looked into the distance warily.
Smoke slowly rose from behind them, and the red dragon flag in the distance was approaching them little by little.
Chief Zhang Wu looked at the approaching enemy with a ferocious expression, and his expression gradually became a little puzzled.
There was no mistake about the flag. It was the red dragon flag.
The Ming Dynasty was a fire dynasty, so the flag was red.
But why did they not even seem to be wearing leather armor?
He was only wearing a strange military uniform.
The thing in his hand was…
When the cavalry regiment got closer, they finally saw Chief Zhang Wu clearly.
These people did not even have a piece of paper armor on them, and they were still holding firearms that were useless.
Was he here to fight or to die?
Zhang Wu looked at the cavalry with disdain.
With his hundred men around, they would not be able to pass easily.
Zhang Wu turned to look at his subordinates and said in a deep voice,"Pay attention, wait for them to get close before shooting!”
The soldiers with bows and arrows in their hands nodded.
"Everyone, don't panic and don't think about escaping. You know the military orders of the Eight Banners. If we run without fighting, not only will we be killed, but our wives and children will also be killed.”
"Let's fight it out. We'll retreat after repelling a wave of them.”
Zhang Wu kept encouraging everyone.
After saying that, Zhang Wu turned to Zhang Daqiang and whispered,""Lead the horse immediately! Go to the county town and explain the situation to the county magistrate. Tell him to prepare early. I'm afraid the Ming army is serious this time.”
"Also, inform all the camps along the way, understand?”
"It's not easy to have some peaceful days, but they're fighting again. If they attack the county city, will we still be alive?”
Zhan Daqiang raised his spear and nodded nervously. He immediately walked down the wall and led a warhorse towards Zichuan County.
Zhang Wu turned his head and frowned. He did not look at the Ming army that was about to reach his stronghold. Instead, he looked into the distance.
He knew that there was definitely an endless army behind them that was rushing over step by step.
On the other side, the cavalry regiment commander, Jiang Zhiyong, had already stopped his horse two hundred steps away from the village.
The Eight Banners had set up eight camps here.
Each camp had at least a hundred people and at most a few hundred people.
This was especially so on this road. Both sides of the road were filled with steep mountain forests, which were completely unsuitable for the army to advance. Only the middle road was convenient for the army to advance quickly.
Jiang Zhiyong said to the messenger beside him,""Hurry up and pull up the five small cannons assigned to our cavalry regiment.”
"F * ck!"
"Eight camps, I will knock them down one by one!”
"Let's see if you still dare to hold a knife when you see me in the future!”
Jiang Zhiyong kept cursing and pacing back and forth with his whip.
Not long after, five small cannons were carried to the front of the stronghold by a group of soldiers.
Jiang Zhiyong looked at the artillery platoon leader and said,"Aim at the camp and blow him up!"”
The artillery platoon leader, who was so tired that he had to pee, nodded and let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he looked at the wall 200 steps away.
With just a glance, the platoon leader immediately lowered his head.
He began to give orders.
"Target is 200 steps away, fire horizontally!”
"Test fire!"
"Get ready!"
The sound of cannons exploded in the valley. Five solid artillery shells heavily hit the walls of the village, causing large pieces of rocks and yellow soil to fall from the walls.
On the wall, Zhang Wu's pupils suddenly contracted, and his body turned cold.
Just now, he was almost killed by a cannon!
If he wasn't smarter, he would have gone to see the King of Hell by now!
Looking at the gap on the side and the solid artillery shells that had fallen on the side, Zhang Wu swallowed his saliva in fear. He looked at the enemies that had begun to gather in the valley.
No, no, something was very wrong!
These people didn't look like the Ming army!
Since when was the Hong Yi Cannon so small? Also, where did the Ming army have an all-firearms army?
King Heng of Qingzhou Prefecture?
Yes, it was him!
Rumor had it that his troops were all firearms!
Zhang Wu opened his eyes wide and observed carefully.
