Previously, Li Jingang asked Niu Desheng to lead 3,000 elite troops to bypass Yang Dingguo's camp and launch a surprise attack on a grain and grass base by the Wei River.
After Yang Dingguo learned of the situation, he did not mobilize the elite troops of the Five Battalions, but only sent auxiliary troops into battle.
In other words, the loss of a food base and thousands of people was used to test the rebels' combat effectiveness.
After Pei Lun and others' troops arrived, Yang Dingguo decisively launched an attack.
On the endless plain, more than 200,000 rebels gathered densely like ants.
There were only 50,000 people from the imperial court participating in the war!
But these 50,000 people were like three sharp knives, rushing straight into the left, middle and right of the rebels with great momentum.
Smoke and dust were flying, and arrows were like locusts.
The trumpets sounded, the drums thundered, and there were shouts of killing!
The two sides soon came into conflict.
The five battalions of the capital, known as the most elite of Dayin, were led by General Li Chenghua and other generals. In order to continue the glory of their ancestors, their eyes were red and murderous.
Of the twenty-five rebel armies, no more than fifty thousand were armored.
This 50,000-strong army, named the Swift Army by Li Jingang, was the backbone of the rebels.
The rest were groups of refugees and starving people.
As long as the Swift Army can withstand the onslaught of the imperial army's elite forces, the remaining refugee forces will devour the imperial army bit by bit like locusts.
The armor, weapons, and boots worn by these imperial troops were the very things that the refugees coveted.
The commander of the 50,000-strong swift army was none other than Li Jingang's fierce general Niu Desheng.
Previously, Niu Desheng led elite troops to attack the imperial army's food and grass base, but he was greedy for merit and almost fell into an ambush.
After Niu Desheng came back, he was scolded by Li Jingang, but he still let him lead the troops.
The 3,000 elite soldiers trained by military advisor Yang Yan were completely handed over to the command of Li Jingang's nephew Li Hu.
"Hold on, hold on!"
"Brothers, cheer up!"
"The court is a bunch of good-for-nothings. Don't be fooled by their aggressive appearance. They are just dung on the outside but chaff on the inside!"
"As long as we can withstand their first wave of attack, the rest will be up to us!"
Niu Desheng, with more than ten guards, ran back and forth in the army, roaring loudly.
