The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

With an advantage of 10,000 troops, they could easily kill all of them with a single charge back and forth.

Is a prince who doesn't even know how to deploy troops qualified to defeat Northern Mongolia?

Just as he was thinking this, with the sound of an arrow rising into the sky, nearly ten thousand bandits who were ambushing on both sides rushed out in an instant, and they charged towards the grain and grass soldiers below.

Seeing the dense enemy troops appearing, the grain and grass soldiers suddenly panicked. Judging from the number of people, they were probably several times more numerous than them. With so many troops attacking them, they might be dead.

All the supply soldiers were so frightened that they even forgot what to do. Some began to retreat and chaos was about to break out.

"Everyone, cheer up, set up the formation you usually practice, and activate the Mandarin Duck Formation..." Chu Chengxiong was the first to shout when he saw this scene.

He used his internal energy, and the sound was deafening, and the sound could be heard for miles.

The nervous and panicked grain soldiers were immediately cheered up after hearing this, and a fighting spirit appeared in their eyes.

"The battlefield is ruthless. If you are afraid before the battle, you will only die. If you want to live, you must risk your life. His Highness once said that when two brave men meet on a narrow road, the brave will win..."

"My men, don't embarrass our grain and forage army. We are now a very different place than we were before. Don't underestimate yourselves! Kill..." Wu Guangyao also shouted.

As their voices rang out, the grain and forage troops immediately took action and were no longer afraid of fighting. They also knew what the consequences would be if they were afraid of fighting on the battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, the formation was deployed. After more than ten days of training, their combat power increased many times.

With the help of the Mandarin Duck Formation, his courage suddenly grew a lot.

Soon, they collided with the first wave of bandits rushing down. Leng Yunao, who was standing on the boulder, curled his lips with a look of disdain.

You think you can stop their army with just a cannon fodder like food and grass? That's just a foolish dream.

But just as he had this thought, he saw that the charging bandits were actually blocked by the formation of the grain and fodder army.

Before Leng Yunao could recover from his shock, the grain and forage troops who had blocked the first wave of attack launched a counterattack.

The long swords slashed fiercely, blood splattered, and dozens of bandits were killed in a row. They were blocked and could not move forward.

Not only that, there were also large-scale casualties.

A fierce battle between the two sides was about to break out, and the bandits' battle formation was in chaos because they had no formation to assist them.

Therefore, they were quickly divided and killed by the grain and forage soldiers. Although their numbers seemed to be several times greater than those of the grain and forage soldiers, they were unable to break into the formation of the grain and forage soldiers.

And no matter how many of them rushed over, the grain army would harvest them. This situation made Leng Yunao stand up straight instantly, his eyes full of disbelief.

How is this possible? Are they really cannon fodder-level ration troops? !

After the grain and forage troops blocked the first wave of attacks, everyone overcame their fears and saw how brave their side was.

The blood of the grain and forage troops was awakened, and their fighting spirit and morale became stronger and stronger. They were originally the besieged party, but now it seemed that they were not being besieged, but rather counter-siege.

Even the civilians who were being protected in the middle became furious and filled with murderous intent when they saw this scene.

They pulled up their bows and arrows and shot bamboo mines one by one into the endless stream of enemy troops. The bandits who rushed over were immediately dizzy and screaming from the explosion of the bamboo mines.

The attacking formation became more chaotic, and those who rushed to the front were frightened by the bravery of the grain and grass soldiers and wanted to turn around and flee. However, the bandits behind them who did not know the truth wanted to rush to the front to fight.

The two sides collided with each other, and the attack formation formed a seesaw trend of front and back connection.

Chu Chengxiong, with dozens of his own elite soldiers, began to counterattack on the battlefield. He seized the opportunity and charged towards the location where the chaos was the greatest.

Fortunately, although the outer entrance of this canyon is not big, the space inside is large enough to give him enough room to display his skills.

Chu Chengxiong is worthy of being a member of the Chu family. Once he enters into combat, he is not only brave, but also very good at seizing opportunities.

Under his leadership, the originally besieged grain and grass army actually launched a counterattack. He led more and more people.

The bandits who were charging were beaten back, their morale dropped again and again, and they were on the verge of defeat.

Although Wu Guangyao's side was not as good as Chu Chengxiong's, as the morale of the grain and forage troops was boosted, they not only withstood the first round of charge, but also forced the enemy to retreat again and again.

Of course, the most powerful force in this battle was the bamboo thunder array of the civilians. They fired round after round, just like a harvester. The enemy's charge was too dense.

When bamboo lasers were shot into the charging enemy formation, one single laser could kill several people and make the enemy flee in panic.

The battle situation was dangerous from the beginning, but after the fighting started, it was reversed in less than half a cup of tea.

The lightly armored cavalry led by Jiang Fan and Chu Chengrui had not even had a chance to play a role.

Jiang Fan was a little stunned when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that the grain and forage troops and civilians could actually exert such powerful combat power.

He was still thinking about letting the light cavalry charge to relieve them of the pressure, but now it seems that it is not necessary!

Hidden on a huge rock, Leng Yunao watched the battle situation deteriorate rapidly. He stood there in a daze, looking at the bamboo thunder weapon with fear in his eyes.

The high fighting spirit and morale of the grain and forage troops made him unable to believe that what he saw was real.

He could never have imagined that not long after the battle, his nearly 10,000 bandit soldiers showed signs of defeat. How could this be possible!?

Didn’t the intelligence sent by Ye Ren and his team say that Jiang Fan was leading only 2,000 non-combat-capable grain troops?

How could such a loose army be so powerful?

Even though their bandit soldiers were not regular troops, they were trained according to the rules of the regular army, and their actual combat effectiveness was not even weaker than that of the imperial court's elite troops.

Even the elite soldiers of his Yuntian Village are comparable to the elite soldiers of the imperial court in terms of combat power. But such a situation occurred just after the battle. This must be fake!

He looked at the 2,000 elite soldiers of Yuntian Village on his side, who had not yet rushed to the center of the battlefield, and he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

If he could let his 2,000 elite soldiers from Yuntian Village rush to the center of the battlefield, he might be able to turn the tide of the battle. He would not be afraid even if the other side had that terrifying thunder weapon.

But when he thought so, he found that under the counterattack of the grain and forage army, the remaining nearly 7,000 bandits had been completely defeated and were being killed one-sidedly by the grain and forage army.

The elite soldiers of his Yuntian Village were also forced to retreat with the main force. It was not that they did not want to go up, but the chaos on the battlefield left them no room to maneuver.

Seeing this scene, Leng Yunao became a little furious. He quickly ordered his men beside him to blow the horn.

As the horn sounded, the elite soldiers of Yuntian Village, who had been forced to retreat by the attack, immediately retreated to the sides, letting the fleeing soldiers pass, while they prepared to fight against the 2,000 grain and fodder troops.
