"Take down these seven outposts and then charge straight for Zichuan County!”
"If we're too slow, the Eight Banners Army will be able to react and mobilize their forces to surround us. This battle plan will be considered a complete failure!”
The group of regiment commanders nodded solemnly, turned around, and walked down the mountain. They gathered their troops and began to attack the outpost in turns.
Regiment after regiment of warriors began to tidy up their equipment. The two cavalry regiments stood at the side, quietly waiting to break through.
As for the current position of the cavalry regiment, Zhu Youqi didn't know what to do. The current Lumi muskets made it impossible for the cavalry to load ammunition on the horses and light the fuse.
The flintlock gun was still being researched. In a short period of time, it was still very difficult for the cavalrymen to shoot on horseback.
The current cavalry was still infantry on horseback. When facing the enemy, they still had to stand in place. Only when they were chasing the enemy could they ride their horses and wave their bayonet to kill the enemy.
This made the positioning of the cavalry troops very awkward. They could only fight with the wind. In a head-on confrontation, no matter how good the cavalry was, they had to stop obediently.
At this time, the effect of the Rumi musket on the cavalry was not even as good as the bow and arrow.
Zhu Youqi was helpless about this. The development of science and technology could not be achieved overnight. He could only pray that the researchers in the Firearms Bureau could develop the flintlock gun as soon as possible under his guidance.
Even if he couldn't, he could at least research the revolving gun first.
At the very least, the cavalry would have a main weapon, and their positioning would not be as awkward as it was now.
On the battlefield, the sounds of fighting gradually rose.
The sound of cannons reverberated in the canyon.
Zhang Fu, the commander of the First Division and the First Regiment, led the soldiers to charge forward. The Lumi musket in his hand kept firing, killing one person after another who appeared in his field of vision.
Looking at the gate of the checkpoint, Zhang Fu gritted his teeth and said fiercely,""Use the explosives!"
"Blow him up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two soldiers immediately unloaded their explosives and piled them on the wooden camp gate.
Crackling sounds could be heard above their heads, but the two warriors did not move at all. They were only focused on placing the explosives in front of them.
After setting up the program, he lit the fuse.
As soon as the fuse was lit, the two warriors immediately turned around and shouted at their comrades who were holding shields to protect them,"Run!"
When the group of warriors near the gate saw this scene, they did not care if there were locusts raining down on their heads. Arrows flew everywhere. Those who were slightly further away lay on the ground, while those who were closer to the gate ran away without caring about their lives.
Boom!
Two explosions rang out one after another, and a small, pitch-black mushroom cloud slowly rose.
The flames continued to wreak havoc in the outpost. The powerful explosion caused the Green Camp soldiers, who had no experience with explosions, to panic and run around the outpost.
Shock waves and flames kept attacking their eyes and hearts.
Miserable screams continued to ring out, causing Zhang Wu to look around in a daze. He looked at his colleagues who were like rags beside him. He did not understand what had just happened.
Did the earth dragon make a comeback?
Gunpowder had such power?
Zhang Wu didn't believe it.
Zhang Wu stood up blankly and looked around.
At the gate of the sentry post that had been completely destroyed, the soldiers held their Rumi guns and quickly ran into the sentry post, killing anyone that the captives could see.
As long as they were not dressed in the same color as them, they would either shoot them with their spears or raise their Rumi muskets and order them to surrender.
A soldier walked up to Zhang Wu with a Lumi musket and placed a bayonet on his neck."President Ba?"
Zhang Wu nodded blankly. He understood that he had been captured by Prince Heng's men.
They were all Han people, so King Heng shouldn't do anything to him, right?
"Stand up!"
The 15-year-old warrior named Xue Jing looked at Zhang Wu with determination and ordered him to stand up.
With Zhang Wu in custody, Xue Jing finally revealed a smile on his face. He didn't expect Zhang Wu to catch a boss!
This time, after the battle was over, wouldn't the regiment arrange for a platoon leader to not be a platoon leader?
With Zhang Wu in custody, Xue Jing came to the platoon leader and said,""Platoon leader, platoon leader, look at me grabbing a boss!”
The veteran who was called platoon leader by Xue Jing immediately turned around and smiled. He patted Xue Jing's shoulder."Good boy, you're promising. I'll remember your merit!”
Xue Jing looked at the platoon leader." Platoon leader, can I be a platoon leader when we go back?"”
"Dopey, who lives in the same village as me, has become a platoon leader and is showing off in front of me every day. When I become a platoon leader, let's see how he can show off to me.”
The platoon leader shook his head with a smile. He turned his head and looked at the captives sternly. Then, he said to Xue Jing,"Then you have done a lot of meritorious deeds this time. When we go back, I'll report it to the higher-ups!”
The fifteen-year-old Xue Jing immediately cheered.
Not far away, Zhu Youqi had already brought a group of officers over slowly.
Looking at the bloodstains and corpses on the ground, Zhu Youqi turned to Zhang Fu, the commander of the First Division and the First Regiment, and said,""Clean up the battlefield immediately and catch up as soon as possible, understand?”
Zhang Fu nodded and immediately left Zhu Youqi's side to personally command his subordinates to clean up the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Zhu Youqi led his men to clear a path in the sentry post and quickly advanced forward.
At this time, the captive Zhang Wu suddenly fell to his knees in front of Zhu Youyou and cried loudly.
"Your Highness Prince Heng, we are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender!”
"Keep us, we can help you conquer the world.”
As soon as Zhang Wu opened his mouth, the captives immediately came to their senses and knelt in front of Zhu You Xin, crying bitterly.
Looking at these Green Camp captives, Zhu Youqi had a plan in his heart.
Zhu Youqi believed that he did not lack military strength!
Regardless of whether it was the Changming Army or the newly constructed new army, there were 60,000 combat personnel who were fully released.
With just these sixty thousand people, as long as they had sufficient supplies, Zhu Youqi would dare to lead them to the ends of the earth!
Moreover, he still had a large number of reserve forces and settlement troops.
As long as there was a need, these people could be added to the regular combat groups at any time.
Therefore, he did not lack people at all.
If they were just ordinary mountain bandits and raiders, Zhu You Xin wouldn't mind bringing them into the regular army under his command. With the guidance of instructors, political commissar, and propaganda department, these people wouldn't have any problems.
In the end, in this chaotic world, the so-called mountain bandits and raiders were the commoners who were about to die.
Zhu Youqi was extremely tolerant of these people.
However, Zhu Youqi did not have much patience for the Green Army soldiers who surrendered to the Eight Banners.
As for whether or not some of them were forced to vote for the Eight Banners, Zhu You Xin did not care.
Those who had the intention would have many opportunities to leave the Green Camp. There might be some who did not leave now, but these people had more or less bullied civilians.
