"Brothers, why do you think the general asked us to take the Fifth Army Camp so far for 'practice'? Is it just to let us see the mountains here?"

Just when Yang Yinglong burned Qijiang City and quickly marched towards Jiangjin, on the Jiangjin side, because of Wang Bing's insistence, the little fat man ordered the Fifth Army Commander's Office to send soldiers from the Fifth Army Battalion to Jiangjin in the name of training.

Several officers who had transferred from the Habayashi Guards were confused about the true purpose of this trip.

There is no way, at this time, the war preparation order issued by Wang Bing has not yet reached Jiangjin!

Therefore, except for the leader Zhang Weiming and several other senior generals, ordinary soldiers did not know much about guarding against Bozhou.

"Since the general asked us to come, he must have his reasons. Anyway, the general won't let us go in vain, haha!"

"That's true. I think back then, when we had been squatting in Liaodong for less than two years, didn't we just wait for the Japanese to come? This time will definitely be no exception. I just don't know who will be waiting for this time, hehe!"

"Report~emergency military information!"

Just when several officers who had been transferred from the Yulin Guards were still speculating on Wang Bing's intention of sending the Beijing camp, the rapid sound of horse hooves came, and the sound of "urgent military information" made everyone

The soldiers suddenly became excited.

"Look, I just said that the general will not send us here for no reason, hahahaha..."

…

"Call the entire army to prepare for war!"

As expected, it didn't take long for the entire army to prepare for war. An order came from the Chinese army's tent. Then, under the command of generals at all levels, a group of sergeants immediately began to prepare in an orderly manner.

.

"Old Zhang, how do we fight this battle?"

Like those ordinary sergeants, in the Chinese army's tent at this moment, Zhao Zhilong, the deputy general, also looked at the general Zhang Weiming with excitement.

There is no way, since he was a deserter in the Yulin Guards, he has been "hiding" in the Beijing camp for so many years, and this is the first time he has faced a battle!

"Haha, of course we took the initiative to fight! When did our Habayashi Guards have the habit of waiting for others to fight!"

After waiting for several months, the Bozhou soldiers finally arrived. Zhang Weiming's first reaction was naturally to take the initiative.

"Uh, Lao Zhang, you must have forgotten again, right? We are not the Yulin Guards now, and the Fifth Army Camp does not have so many firearms. Moreover, the number of these traitor soldiers is 60,000 to 70,000, so let's just

Thousands of people…”

Zhao Zhilong, who was still impatient at first, hesitated after hearing Zhang Weiming's answer. Damn it, this is the Fifth Army Camp, not the Yulin Guards equipped with all firearms!

There is no way, although everyone now knows that Habayashi Wei's firearms are sharp, but over the years, except for the use of water-powered punches instead of manual hammering, there has been no revolutionary improvement in the craftsmanship of the gun tubes.

Therefore, due to the production of gun tubes, except for the Habayashi Guards, other armies still use a mixture of hot and cold weapons, and even cold weapons such as swords, guns, bows and arrows account for a higher proportion.

"Yeah, why did I forget this again!"

After hearing Zhao Zhilong's reminder, Zhang Weiming, who reacted instantly, couldn't help but slapped his palm on the table with some annoyance.

"Are we supposed to defend the city and fight? No, when have we ever done such an embarrassing thing as defending the city?"

Although he reacted, Zhang Weiming was very unwilling to think of having to defend the city.

…

"Hahahaha, these Ming troops are so brave. With just such a small number of people, they dare to go out of the city and fight with us in the field!"

Two days after setting off from Qijiang, Yang Yinglong led the rebels to arrive outside Jiangjin City. Looking at the only five thousand Ming infantry lined up outside the city, he couldn't help laughing arrogantly.

"Lord, according to reliable information, this Ming army is the Beijing camp army coming from the capital. We should be careful and don't be careless!"

Seeing the Ming army on the opposite side lined up neatly and motionless with weapons in hand, Sun Shitai, who was Yang Yinglong's military advisor, spoke with some solemnity to remind him.

"Jingying? Haha, the military advisor is overthinking! The current Jingying army is just a lookalike. Do you think they are still the elite three battalions a hundred years ago?"

Regarding Sun Shitai's reminder, Yang Yinglong didn't take it to heart at all, and still curled his lips with disdain! There was no way, the previous mud-like 'reputation' of Jingying was too loud.

"Why do military advisors have the ambition of others to destroy their own prestige? There are only a few thousand people. We can drown them with just a spit of spit. My lord, give the general 10,000 people and let him take care of them. Then we will do the same."

It’s good to enter the city early to reward the army, hahahaha!”

Like Yang Yinglong, all the Bozhou rebel generals did not pay attention to the Ming army on the opposite side at all.

Therefore, after glancing at the thousands of soldiers of the 5th Army Camp opposite, Sun Hanqing, who originally commanded the left wing, immediately eagerly asked for a fight.

"Go ahead and kill these bright dogs for me. After taking Jiangjin, don't seal the sword for three days!"

…

"Kill!"

"Kill the bright dog and seize Jiangjin!"

"Don't seal the sword for three days."

The Banzhou rebels, who had just tasted the benefits of massacre of the city not long ago, were stimulated by Yang Yinglong's refusal to seal the sword for three days. They all immediately felt as if they had been given blood. They screamed with red eyes and waved their weapons towards the people below the city.

The army rushed over.

"If you don't seal the sword for three...three days, General Zhang, are you...confident?"

On top of the city, when he heard the slogan "No sealing of the sword for three days" shouted by the Bozhou rebels outside the city, Cao Rulan, who is the magistrate of Jiangjin County, could not help but turn pale with fright. Just kidding, if you don't seal the sword for three days, that's

It's like massacre!

"Bah, bah, bah..."

However, just when Cao Rulan looked at Zhang Weiming fearfully, before Zhang Weiming could speak, a crisp sound like fried beans was heard, but the muskets in the fifth army camp had already opened fire.

Although the number of muskets was not as high as that of the Yulin Guards, they were still in the Beijing camp. Among the 10,000 troops led by Zhang Weiming, they were still equipped with 2,000 flintlock rifled muskets.

Since flintlock rifled muskets are far beyond the range of bows and arrows, it was naturally this musket that was the first to 'speak'.

"Puff puff puff puff..."

Accompanied by the crisp sound of firecrackers, in the blink of an eye, the Banshu rebels who came in dense formation were peeled off like a vegetable leaf.

"Humph, you are an ignorant country bumpkin. Even tens of thousands of people dare to charge into the battle! Don't be afraid of Cao Zhixian. They are just a few barbarians. He wants to take Jiangjin from the hands of this general. He is just dreaming!"

At this time, Zhang Weiming looked at the battlefield outside the city with a sneer and replied to Cao Rulan.

Zhao Zhilong, who was in charge of commanding these five thousand people in the city, couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw that the other party actually sent only ten thousand people and wanted to eat him.

Just kidding, if nothing else, with the range and rate of fire of the Ming army's flintlock rifled muskets, under the array of two thousand muskets taking turns firing, let alone 10,000 infantry, even if there are 10,000 more infantry

, it may not be possible to break through.

"Brothers, speed up and give Ming Gou time to reload the gun!"

After a round of gunfire, Zhang Hanqing, who was leading the attack, suddenly shouted loudly.

There is no way, just like those Tatars, in their limited knowledge, although the Ming army's fire blunderbuss is sharp, its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the reloading speed is too slow, even with the three-stage strike method!
