"Woo woo woo ......"

The desolate, high-pitched sound of trumpets wafted back and forth in the distance, and it was an army announcing its arrival in this way.

"Boom...... Boom...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

As the sound of the horn got closer and closer, the Nanjing battalion soldiers standing in place suddenly felt that the ground under their feet was trembling slightly, at first many people thought it was an illusion, but as the tremor intensified, they realized that the original enemy had approached, and many veterans had changed color on their faces.

As time passed, a well-lined army gradually came into view. The first thing that catches your eye is a big "Ming" word, and then the banner is written with the words "Ming Jiang Ningwei Commander", and then there is a big "Yang" word, all of which are announcing the identity of the other party, this is a Ming army.

"Whoa...... Whoa......"

As the target approached, there was a slight commotion in the originally neat military formation, and many soldiers, especially the firecrackers of the Shenji Battalion who were standing at the front, looked at the rows of sergeants who were approaching, and their eyes were a little straight.

"Iron Armor...... How is it possible that they are all dressed in iron armor? ”

The same exclamation also happened to Xu Hongji and the others, looking at the approaching sergeant all wearing iron armor, and the bayonet on the fire gun on his shoulder flashed in the sun, Xu Hongji only felt that his hands were trembling slightly.

"This is impossible, how is this possible, where did Yang Feng get so many iron armor to equip his men and horses, the cavalry is wearing iron armor, how can even the foot soldiers wear iron armor, where did he get so much full body armor?"

Xu Hongji felt that his thinking was a little messy, you must know that if it is hundreds of pairs of iron armor, it may be possible to do it with strong financial resources, but to let everyone, including the foot soldiers, wear iron armor, such a big deal can no longer be described simply as rich, if there is no amazing force behind the support, it is impossible to do it with money alone, which requires a strong industrial chain to support, especially in this era of low productivity, the manpower and material resources required to build so many iron armor are simply unimaginable.

It's just that Xu Hongji never dreamed that behind Yang Feng was not supported by any force, but standing in an era that had completed the industrialization process and was ready to move towards informatization.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The high-pitched horns of the three provinces sounded in a row, and the sergeants of Jiang Ningwei's first platoon were already standing 500 meters in front of the main formation of the Nanjing battalion to which Xu Hongji belonged. The neat formation, the neat weapons, the swarthy and shining firearms, and the shouts of the officers sounded from time to time behind them, all tested the nerves of the Nanjing battalion on the opposite side.

Liao Yongquan said to Xu Hongji with some fear: "Grandpa Xu, why don't you ...... Let's take advantage of the unstable foothold on the other side and take the opportunity to kill the past, right? ”

Xu Hongji glared at him with some dissatisfaction, this guy is usually smart, how can he become stupid when he moves seriously. He forcibly held back the dissatisfaction in his heart and lowered his voice and said: "Lord Liao, don't you see the other party's cavalry, once our foot soldiers pass, they will definitely cover up, what do you let our foot soldiers use to resist?" ”

"This ......"

Liao Yongquan was dumb all of a sudden, and he only felt that his face was hot. Although he is the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, he is actually a scholar in his bones, and he knows almost nothing about military affairs, and he can talk to people on weekdays, but once he goes to the battlefield, he is dumbfounded.

Ignoring Liao Yongquan, Xu Hongji turned his head to Zhang Weixian on the side and said: "Brother Xian, I bother you to lead your own troops to the front to supervise the battle, and once someone escapes after the fight, you have the right to execute them on the spot, no matter what, we can't lose this battle!" ”

Zhang Weixian's face changed twice, he also understood the importance of this battle to them, and gritted his teeth and responded: "Understood! ”

After finishing speaking, he shouted and led more than a hundred of his own soldiers to ride their horses forward.

After Zhang Weixian left, Xu Hongji looked at Lu Jianshen, who was speechless next to him, and showed a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Lord Lu, as an imperial historian, you are the most eloquent on weekdays. Yang Shun has come today, why don't you come forward and reprimand him, maybe Yang Shun will immediately repent and surrender. ”

"Never." Lu Jianshen's face turned green when he heard this, the front of the two armies was not a place to play tricks, he didn't really think that the other party would reason with him and fight each other, I am afraid that as soon as he walked out of the formation, he was greeted by countless lead bullets and arrows.

"Grandpa Guo, don't make such a joke, I think that Yang Feng hates Xiaguan to the core, and I am afraid that he will be harmed by him as soon as Xiaguan goes out!"

Looking at Lu Jianshen's frightened pale face, a trace of disdain flashed in Xu Hongji's eyes, and at the same time, he sighed in his heart, is it really a wise move to cooperate with this fierce and introverted guy?

But the matter has come to this point, there is no point in thinking more, now that it has come to this point, there is no turning back for both sides, and the only thing left is to fight first.

Seeing that the other party had already lined up the phalanx, it was estimated that the other party would soon launch an attack on him, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "The whole army is on alert, ready to meet the enemy!" ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

As soon as Xu Hongji's words fell, the horn sound on the opposite side sounded again, and the local military formation, which had been lined up, suddenly moved, and the three rows of musketeers led by him began to move forward.

At this moment, the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion at the forefront of Xu Hongji's side began to get nervous, and one by one they picked up the arquebuses in their hands under the orders of the officers.

Xu Hongji's battalion is equipped with a firearm that is a bird gun, which has a very short range, only about 100 meters, is fired with a fire rope and is very slow to load, the only advantage is that it is very accurate, and it is claimed to be able to hit birds in the sky.

When Jiang Ningwei's firecrackers slowly moved forward, behind them, Yang Feng rode a war horse and observed the movement in front of him with a telescope surrounded by dozens of family members. After seeing a slight commotion in the other party's Shenji Battalion, which was at the forefront, he sneered and said to Huang Zhenye next to him: "It seems that those people are a little out of breath, tell Yang Daniu to let him send a team of cavalry forward to see if he can lure the opponent's Shenji Battalion to open fire." ”

"Understood!"

With Yang Feng's order, a group of cavalry rushed in the direction of the Shenji Battalion from both sides over the queue of advancing firecrackers, and this move of the cavalry broke the nerves of the already tense Shenji Battalion.
