But now that things have come to this, they cannot return empty-handed, so they can only bite the bullet and rush towards the Ming army camp.
"Kill!" The two sides started a battle again.
The Shun army has five times as many troops as Yang Zhan!
The Ming army held out for a while but was immediately defeated.
Shun army took advantage of the situation and attacked!
When Yang Zhan returned to the camp with more than a hundred remaining soldiers, Qin Liangyu had already made defensive arrangements. The Shun army attempted an attack and then retreated hastily after leaving behind dozens of corpses.
Looking at the slightly injured Yang Zhan, Qin Liangyu laughed and said, "Yang Zhan is brave and resourceful, and has good luck. He is a good candidate to lead troops!"
Yang Zhan was filled with shame: "Not only did I fail to complete the mission, I also suffered heavy casualties and let the Governor down."
"No, if you hadn't happened to encounter the bandits, our camp might have been breached."
"The battle after dawn..."
"Don't worry, His Majesty said that war cannot be rushed. The more anxious you are, the more likely it is to cause chaos. Stability is the best option!"

There are eleven such phalanxes!
The muzzles of seventy-seven heavy red cannons were all aimed at a corner of the east wall of Tongguan City!
There is another phalanx behind the phalanx.
There were artillery units that moved with the army formations, baggage soldiers that transported military supplies, reserve soldiers ready to provide support at any time, and reinforcements responsible for protecting the flanks and rear wings.
After the army had formed its battle array, Qin Liangyu coughed vigorously several times.
"Grandma, are you okay?" Ma Wannian hurriedly grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on Qin Liangyu.
Qin Liangyu shook her head: "I'm fine, pass the order down and start bombarding!"
