Wang Zhou rode his horse at the front of the team, and behind him were 3,000 newly recruited troops, which made him full of confidence and hope for the future. He thought that from this, he would soon gain a place in Jiangnan, and then swallow the entire wealthy Jiangnan under the leadership of the elders in the sect, and then attack the north and seize the Central Plains. When the new dynasty was established, he would be able to become a general and become a real powerful figure.

And the starting point of all this lies in taking Huating County today!

As a native of Songjiang, of course, he knew Huating County. The small fishing county near the sea was poor and poor, with a population of only tens of thousands. He had just changed to a new county magistrate. Even if he was lucky enough to be flooded this time, he had no strength. Just wait for his army to arrive, he was afraid that the whole county town would be at a loss, and then he could only surrender.

Yes, it must be like this. It is as easy as inciting disaster victims in Xinjiang County and killing officials and seizing the city. Huating will naturally fall into his hands. Without waiting until dark, he can own two counties...

Wang Zhou, who was turning these thoughts, suddenly stared at the front with some surprise, then closed his eyes hard, thinking that he had hallucinated just now, because just in front of him, there was a line of troops waiting there quietly, with his sword and spear high, shining with dazzling light under the hot sunlight.

But when he opened his eyes again, nothing changed in front of him, which made Wang Zhou subconsciously stop the army under his crotch, and the rebel generals following him stopped, and then kept looking at the team ahead with surprise and uneasy eyes.

Compared with them, the rebels here were too scattered and messy, with almost no queues at all. A large group of people gathered in chaos. When they were just marching, many people were still talking to each other. Until now, they saw the team lined up in front of them, they shut up and looked at their leaders.

Wang Zhou's hand was already pressed on the sword at his waist, but thinking that he had three thousand soldiers and horses behind him, and thinking that he was the leader of the entire army, he had the courage again, and took a quick step forward, and shouted: "Are you from Huating County? Are you getting news? Do you want to stop my army from entering the city? I advise you to be aware of it, and see how many soldiers and horses there are behind me, and you are only a few of you. Surrender quickly and you can save your life. Otherwise, you can kill all of you with just one order!"

Listening to the threatening words of his chief general, the thousands of rebels behind him also came out of the panic just now, all waving their simple weapons and screaming. Not to mention, the morale really aroused suddenly.

After seeing this chaotic scene, Li Ling became calm in his heart. Although he had never been on the battlefield, he could still distinguish any team that could fight. Even the team was not arranged in order, and the shouting was messy, and the army that interrupted the general's words. Where did he get the combat power?

Even though his troops were only one-third and had only been training for two days, he still felt that once the war started, he would have a greater chance of winning. So he also took a step forward and shouted in a deep voice: "Where did you come from? But you were bewitched and became a rebel? If this is true, I will advise you to stop surrendering at this time. If you are stubborn, once the war starts, you will be the ones who are killed or injured."

"Hahaha... You are not afraid of the wind and your tongue flashing. Don't you see how many people we have! By the way, you are a dog official in the court? That's right, the Japanese general will kill your dog-headed flag first and then enter Huating!" Wang Zhou laughed instead of anger, pulled out the knife with excitement, pointed forward, shouting: "Brothers, the opportunity to make achievements has come. Kill me, kill the dog official, and rob the Huating County! Kill!"

Under his encouragement, the soldiers behind him were indeed excited, remembering the fact that they followed General Wang to kill all directions in the county town that day, killing the wealthy officials who were usually arrogant and like killing chickens and pigs. Then they put down all their worries and howled, like a large group of wild dogs, spread their legs, holding up all kinds of simple sticks, hoes, dung forks and other weapons, and rushed towards the army that was still as still as mountains in front.

Seeing so many enemies rushing towards him fiercely, the new recruits unconsciously showed timidity on their faces. They had never been on the battlefield, and they never thought that this first battle would be a head-on battle with the three times the enemy. There was no city wall to support them, which was really too unacceptable to it.

If County Magistrate Li had not been in front of Touqian, if they had not been practicing these days, they had initially gained the awareness of orders and prohibiting them, they would have been afraid that the entire team would be dispersed and fled.

"Don't be afraid, don't be anxious!" Li Ling shouted for the soldiers behind him, staring at the enemy who was constantly approaching in front of him. Although he was nervous, he was a little excited. This battle was also the first time he had encountered a large-scale war, and the enemy was much weaker than he thought.

The rushing force without any response at all, the seemingly fierce but actually full of loopholes, no, can no longer be called a queue, it is just a group of people who are driving forward with passion to rush forward. Such an opponent is a group of real mobs.

The veterans also saw the problem. They were more calm than Li Ling, and they were also shouting to stabilize the morale of the army: "Everyone is stable, don't be anxious! Spearman, move forward slightly, knife hand, back!"

Under their command, the entire army of thousands began to change in an orderly manner. Five or six hundred spearmen were heading in front, and the remaining sword hands slightly retreated, leaving a distance from their robes.

This action fell into the eyes of the rebels who rushed over with all their might, and was a sign of cowardice or panic, which made them more excited, their paces rushed faster, and the distance between them increased even wider.

Finally, the distance between more than two miles was rushed by these guys, and the three or five people who ran the fastest had already reached the front of the formation. They were still howling excitedly, holding up the weapons in their hands, and suddenly they completely split the army of thousands of people in front of them!

"Spear formation, come out!" A veteran shouted loudly. At this time, Li Ling had retreated to the middle of the battle formation, and his eyes were still locked in front. Then he saw a row of bamboo spears piercing out in one after another, facing the rebels who were rushing up.

Screaming... The power of the bamboo spear thorn in front of the bamboo spear tore the air, causing a strange sound, and then without any stagnation, it stabbed hard into the chest of the enemy who was rushing into it. At this moment, the seemingly fierce impact of these guys seemed to be like they were lying on the tip of the spear. They had no time to dodge, and were already penetrated by the spear, and then came out from the back, screaming and strung on the same simple bamboo spear.

The screams of the five or six people who rushed to the front were like a whip whipping the rebel soldiers behind who were thinking of destroying the enemy's battle formation in one fell swoop, making their movements suddenly slow. Everyone looked at the amazing scene in front of them with incredible panic. The spear formation with dense front stabs cut through their souls like the fangs of monsters, aroused their inner fear.

But not all the rebels saw the situation clearly and felt fear at this moment. So, there were still people rushing forward with all their strength, especially those who ran slowly before, pushing and hitting their companions forward, which also made their already chaotic formation more and more disorganized.

After experiencing an equally terrible scene, these recruits had never really killed anyone. Now, seeing the enemy being killed on the bamboo spear in their hands, they couldn't help feeling panic and uneasy. But as the veterans shouted again, "Cover the spear, go forward! Crack up, go forward!", they actually used the spear in their hands again as mechanically as the order.

This is a manifestation of the gradual loss of individual consciousness among the group, and it is also a conditioned reflex formed by repeated obeying orders over the past few days. Therefore, in these simple orders, the spear array began to slowly move forward, and spears thrust and retract, doing the simplest repetition, but burst out with powerful killing that is unbelievable.

The rebels rushed forward, and they didn't even have time to swing their weapons. There were dense bamboo spears roaring in front of them, making them unable to even handle them. They were stabbed by several spears and fell down in screams.

The spear formation did not pause at all, and just stepped on the body of the enemy who was lying in a pool of blood, and mechanically moved forward, stabbing the next group of enemies again.

In terms of the forces of both sides, Huating's new recruits were obviously completely at a disadvantage, but at this moment, they were head-on and relied on the neat array, but they completely fought with more than a few. The rebels, who had already fought on their own due to scattered running, had to face sieges from several or even a dozen enemies at all times.

Even if some of these Luotian scholars have certain martial arts skills, they still want to try to fight with their own martial arts. However, under the simple but neat spear, they are helpless and can only be killed or retreat in a hurry, without even the ability to counterattack.

When dozens of people were stabbed to the ground, screams were heard, and blood continued to spread, fear also spread rapidly. The rebels behind had completely stopped, and when they saw Huating recruits rushing to chase them with bamboo spears like machines without any emotion, their emotions collapsed instantly.
