Since the soldiers on Liu Mang's side often conducted field training, they walked dozens of kilometers without slowing down at all.
"Boss, something's happening." Monkey rode his horse to Liu Mang's side.
"What's wrong?"
"The scouts reported that they had found traces of the enemy and killed quite a few. We estimate that the enemy is not far ahead of us."
"That's good. I hate playing hide-and-seek with them. Let's go find a more open spot. I want to fight them head-on."
"Boss, there is an open area after we get out of this valley. It seems to be called Sunset Valley." The monkey thought about it and realized that he had been here often before.
Liu Mang clapped his hands and said, "Then wait for them there."
As expected, after leaving the valley, there was an open low hilly area in front of us. This was also the boundary between Yunzhou and Zhongzhou.
"Well, the view here is great. Let's set up our formation and wait. This is our first battle against Dayan. We should try our best to win a decisive battle."
"Yes, boss!" The three gangsters began to arrange artillery positions and joined the soldiers.
Liu Mang just stayed there, looking at the scenery through a telescope.
It seemed like tender grass sprouted in the fields. Could this mean the drought was about to end? Liu began to wonder.
Just over ten minutes after the formation was set up, a rumbling sound was heard from a distance. Without any guessing, the Taoyuan soldiers knew that the enemy had arrived.
A moment later, a blue line emerged from the ground and soon turned into a blue ocean. It was impossible for the Taoyuan soldiers not to be nervous. This was the first time they had seen such a scene. It could be described as a sea of people.
It was also the first time that Liu Mang had seen such a large scale, but he was not nervous at all. After all, he was a cultivator and could be considered an immortal.
I just wonder if I'll vomit when the battle starts when I see such a dense formation.
I heard that all new recruits will have this symptom, and I am also a rookie now.
Song Shaohong led the cavalry to rush to 500 meters and then stopped. Seeing such a weak formation, he felt amused.
He had also calculated the range of the hidden weapons used by the Taoyuan bandits. They were only a few dozen meters. As long as the cavalry accelerated and charged, they would be over there in a few dozen meters in a moment.
At that time, the unarmored soldiers of the Taoyuan bandits would be slaughtered by their own soldiers.
Liu Mang looked at the guy opposite him and sneered for no reason.
"Haha! That's the guy?" Liu put down his binoculars and looked at the surrounding officers. "Do you see the commander over there? Whoever captures him alive will be rewarded with 50 gold and promoted one rank."
"Hehe, boss, if the three of us catch him, won't we be promoted to the city lord?" Little Bear came over and said.
Liu Mang rolled his eyes at him and said, "City Lord, who told you that a team leader can become a City Lord just by getting promoted to the next level?"
"Ah? What else?"
"The next level up from regimental commander is brigade commander."
Liu pinched his nose.
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, but Little Bear was still unconvinced and said:
"What about another promotion to brigade commander?"
"A brigade commander becomes a division commander, a division commander becomes an army commander, and an army commander becomes a commander."
Liu hurriedly counted on his fingers for them one by one.
The little bear also counted and then looked miserable.
"Boss, if you put it that way, and thinking about what the City Lord said, it's like starting as a new soldier and then climbing up to where we are now."
"What else? You're so good, now you're actually plotting to take my place. Someone, drag the little bear away and castrate him."
"yes!"
Then the three gangsters started to fight, and this scene indirectly boosted morale.
The soldiers around him thought that since the officers were acting so heartless, they must have a plan to defeat the enemy.
I saw a calmness on the city lord's face, and I knew he was calculating how much military merit and bonus he would give me as a reward. From a soldier's monologue.
"Hmm?" I actually saw a sense of stability on the faces of these Taoyuan soldiers, but I also knew they were calculating how much money I had in my pocket to reward them. Liu thought to himself.
When I saw the thin formation of the Taoyuan Army on the opposite side, I knew that this wave was a sure win.
I'm already thinking of the moment when I returned victorious from pacifying Yunzhou, when Uncle Lin showed me his affection and promised me his two daughters. Even the Empress secretly harbored feelings for me. Alas! With my damn charm, should I choose the Lin sisters or the Empress? It's so hard to decide! (Song Shaohong's monologue)
Seeing the infantry also caught up, Song Shaohong drew his long sword and said, "You lead 10,000 to attack from the left wing, you lead 10,000 from the right wing, and I will lead the attack from the front. Let's try to wipe out this group of bandits in one go."
"Yes, sir!"
"Hey! Wait, that bandit leader needs to be taken alive."
Song Shaohong added a sentence, and then rode his horse away.
"One head for ten taels of silver. Kill!"
More than 30,000 cavalrymen rushed towards the Taoyuan Army with unstoppable momentum like a mountain torrent bursting through a dam.
The Taoyuan Army remained motionless, forming three rows in each direction: the first row lying on the ground, the second row half-kneeling, and the third row standing. Each soldier was in a dense formation, less than ten centimeters apart.
Liu Mang secretly calculated the distance. In fact, according to the 500-meter range of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, he could have hit the enemy long ago, not to mention the MG42. However, Liu Mang wanted to make a big move, so he had to get closer before fighting. He wanted to wipe out the enemy in the first battle.
Four hundred meters.
Three hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
When they were a hundred meters away, Liu Mang gave the order: "Fire with all your might, use all your guns."
Da da da.
