Chapter 506: Skilled people are bold

How to deal with the many Ming troops is a problem.

The army that surrounded them were real people. Regardless of whether they were paid or not, they were still an army of 100,000 people.

The Black Flag Army only has about 20,000 troops, including part of the newly formed Green Battalion.

And currently Black Flag is still besieging Jinan Prefecture.

If we really want to fight, there will be enemies on all sides.

If the slight difference in weapons, equipment and morale is not correct, it may be directly overwhelmed by the difference in numbers.

Of course, Zhu Youjian will not let anything go wrong in the battle situation.

When they first arrived in Jinan, the Black Banner Army attacked Qihe County, and then took Qihe County as a stronghold and captured surrounding counties and towns. They recruited civilians and began to set up defenses and dig trenches in Qihe County. Then the firearms battalion began to bombard Jinan's capital city.

Jinan Prefecture has been plagued by disasters in the past. It has not been affected by the war in recent years, but it cannot be regarded as recuperating.

The local prefecture and county cities were slightly dilapidated, and Jinan's capital city lacked repairs. Liaocheng did not have the natural terrain of being surrounded by water and protected by a large lake. A gap was blown out of the city wall in just one day.

When the more than 10,000 defenders in the city learned that the Black Flag Army was strong, they fought so hard that many soldiers fled at night.

But Zhu Youjian did not let the Sauron camp enter the city.

Instead, focus on deploying defenses in Qihe County.

"Qihe County is located in the northwest of Jinan Prefecture, connected to the towns and villages of Jinan Prefecture. The city has small walls and short walls, and there are no natural dangers. It is really strange for slaves and thieves to occupy Qihe County."

"We must not be able to win Jinan Mansion!"

Weng Zhiqi, the commander-in-chief of Huang Degong's command, served as the main general to support the southward movement and discussed matters with many generals of the new army of Zhenwu Camp who were heading south together.

They were already stationed on the east side of Yucheng.

Luo Yangxing was stationed in Yucheng.

Huang Fei came from Liaocheng.

The savage army was tightly surrounded on three sides.

Therefore, even if the commander of the Zhenwu camp is Guo Weijing, a veteran from the Tianqi period, and the deputy general Yao Qiyin is also a capable person, promoted for his ability to exterminate pirates, there is no shortage of good and passionate generals in the army, but the clamor of the people around him can't stop him.

They also gain confidence.

Yes, although Emperor Longwu opened his mouth, there was no ambiguity about the positions of the commander-in-chief and some important generals.

They were all promoted personally.

Therefore, compared with the rest of the Ming army, the new army is still extremely elite.

At least that's what it seems.

So the generals and commanders below shouted even louder.

"Commander of the camp! I humbly ask for orders to be the vanguard!"

"Capture the Black Flag King in this battle! Send him to Nanjing for questioning! No, that's not right! Let the Black Flag King attack the capital!"

The morale of the new army is high.

All the generals also have high backgrounds.

There are all kinds of dignitaries in Nanjing, including lords, royal relatives, and their relatives.

Zhu Youjian got the list of new army generals. After that, he had to change his strategy for this purpose.

At the same time, I couldn't help but hold my forehead in silence.

The next day.

Black Flag defended Qihe County, dug trenches along the city, and mainly defended the north of the city.

The Ming army had been waiting and watching for many days.

Although the new army arrived only two days ago, their morale seems to be high.

So today we started the operation to encircle and suppress the Black Flag Savage Army.

Three bread buns.

Approach slowly.

The Black Flag troops mobilized two thousand troops to fight with Luo Yangxing's troops. After both sides used arrows and muskets to fire, although the casualties were not large, the Black Flag army, which was temporarily transformed into a green battalion, retreated and fled southward, bypassing Qihe County.

Then they sent out five thousand troops, and many of the newly recruited Han troops from the green battalion were not even equipped with black clothes. After entering the battle, they were bombarded by Luo Yangxing's troops, and were attacked on the flank by Huang Fei's troops. They were defeated and fled!

He also escaped to the south of Qihe County.

Two victories are nothing to veterans such as Huang Fei.

But for Zhenwuying's new army, they are jealous.

Soon, Zhu Youjian saw the advance, the chaotic layout, and the disobedience of orders.

There was also a struggle for power that he thought was unlikely to happen.

"Master Camp Commander! Our new army has not fought for a long time! This battle is just the right time to test the magic weapons! We can't let the mere navy and treacherous people like Luo Yangxing take the credit!"

"There are only 10,000 savages in the city. Our new army has 20,000 elites. We shall act as the vanguard!"

The credit for capturing the Savage King and many words finally made Guo Weijing unable to resist the temptation, and decisively used his position as Minister of War and General to order Huang Fei, Luo Yangxing and other troops that the new army would be the main attack in this battle.

Let’s not talk about the attitude of the rest of the Ming army.

After the new army of Zhenwuying saw the order was issued, they showed their domineering look! They ordered the rest of the Ming army to retreat quickly and give up the attack area to the new army.

There was no movement on Black Flag's side.

In the past, the deserters only stayed around Jinan Prefecture and did some normal operations of forced expropriation.

In this situation, the new army of Zhenwu Camp assumed that Black Flag was cowardly and wanted to defend Qihe. Everyone laughed and said that the savages were in a desperate situation.

Of course, they are not the only ones who see it this way.

The people of Green Camp and Qihe County who were reorganized by Black Flag also saw it this way.

So much so that some people in Qihe still felt a little regretful.

He secretly said that this savage blackmailed wealthy gentlemen when he entered the city, but his attitude towards the common people was not bad.

Military discipline is really used. If a soldier commits an offense, he will be slapped with a whip.

He also made space for the people to take refuge, saying that they would try to avoid this place if there was a fight later.

This kind of army only exists in storybooks and legends these days.

After the Black Flag Army was defeated and the Ming Army came in, how could there be anyone alive in this city?

The common people commented on the situation of the battle.

Zhu Youjian naturally also commented on the Zhenwu New Army outside Qihe City.

"Looking at the armament alone, it's an elite force that can barely compare with the Black Flag Firearms Battalion. But judging from the people, it's pretty good too."

There are also people from the Beijing camp, including children of powerful people.

Running away without hearing the sound of the cannon is considered a great success.

This performance is really good now.

"It's worth it for them to get this compliment from the master."

You Shoulong was waiting beside him, his posture equally leisurely.

The mentality of the soldiers of the two battalions in this battle with Black Flag was similar.

Without panic.

The next day, Daming Zhenwu Camp acted as the vanguard and launched an attack on Black Flag's trenches outside Qihe County.

The shield car advanced, covering the firing of the large and small artillery in the rear. When it reached a certain distance, the cannon body was engraved with dragons and phoenixes, decorated with all kinds of random mythical beasts, and the black barbarian cannon, which only added weight to the cannon body, was pulled up.

The outpouring of firepower made it difficult for the Black Flag armored troops in front who were also recruiting troops to resist. As soon as the Black Barbarian cannon fired, the Black Flag side quickly gave up the first line of trench defense.

The figure jumping over the trench and escaping was visible to the naked eye.

This greatly increased the morale of Zhenwu's new army on the opposite side.

The timid General Zhenwu Ying who was originally hiding behind him grinned and his blood boiled up when he saw this.

"Come on! Charge them all! Kill the slave thieves!"

The Zhenwu Army rushed straight into the Black Flag trenches on their orders!

The commander of the camp and the deputy general at the back saw that the situation was not good and called for orders, but few people paid attention.

Fortunately, the Zhenwu Army's charge caused the formation to scatter, but they still rushed into and occupied the trench, and began to attack the second trench.

And the plot seems to be pretty much the same as before.

Pressing forward and shelling, the Black Flag Army began to retreat.

It's just that this time the Black Flag Army's counterattack was slightly stronger.
