At this time, Duan Pengju's five hundred soldiers and horses were the first to arrive, and the follow-up formations were also arriving one after another.

Hearing Duan Pengju's order, although this group of elite cavalry had been busy all night, their eyes were still burning, and they found that the county was full of confidence.

It's really because the county is so defenseless, in their eyes, it's almost like a big piece of fat waiting for them to get it between two mountains, so what if they don't take the credit for it?
No, not long after Duan Pengju issued an order, the five hundred troops had already put on their armor and had their weapons in their hands. Duan Pengju ordered the vanguard to rush down quickly, and the follow-up soldiers and horses would be in a team of one hundred cavalry, one team by one team rushed to the city.

The people in Fan County City were also equipped with binoculars. As early as when Duan Pengju and the others appeared on the top of the mountain to look out, something was wrong in the city, and the local cadres became busy with a look of surprise.

Originally, Fan County was transferring the people in the local county town. They wanted to take advantage of today to clear out the people in the city. It was really unexpected. Yesterday, I heard that Tong Guan was in Puzhou. Today, their vanguard army has already arrived in Fan County. Well, it only took one night to leave Puzhou and cross Juancheng.

The local army and cadres in Fan County were also caught off guard. Seeing the vanguard army rushing forward, fighting and shouting, the people outside the city were so frightened that they rushed back into the city wall in a panic.

The gates of the city were narrow and small, so many people cried and cried because of crowding and trampling on them. They formed a mess at the gate of the city, which slowed down the efficiency of the process. The young and strong who wanted to advance into the city were stopped, and some frail ones were even squeezed into the moat and directly stabbed to death, looking very miserable.

The hundred cavalry steered their horses forward, and some of them yelled to increase their fighting spirit. They were actually tired after running all night, and they gradually became excited after yelling a few times.

There is also a limit to the horsepower of a war horse. The distance that can be charged at a fast pace is about two hundred steps. These cavalry have to use them very close to the city to charge. .

More than 100 vanguards slowly approached the city wall on horseback, already giving people a great sense of deterrence. Xiaoqi, who was in the lead, had already shouted, yelling to die from thieves, and there were some people who had no time to enter the city.Even if they gave up the process, they knelt down on the side of the road one after another, hoping that when these cavalrymen rushed to the city, they would not be killed by the way, and one life would be spared.

The cavalry got closer and closer, and Duan Pengju, who was already organizing a follow-up charge team, was also full of pride. He knew that the 100 or so cavalry who went up first would cause a lot of casualties, but they would definitely cause huge chaos at the gate of the city, as long as they could be delayed. Without closing the city gate, you can directly take down the county in front of you after a few follow-up soldiers and horses charge.

Seeing that the 100 cavalry came less than 100 steps away from the city, Duan Pengju counted silently in his heart, and at this moment, as the sun rose higher and higher, the [-] cavalry in the early morning mist Fan County's urban defense layout gradually appeared in front of him.

I saw thin wires tied vertically and horizontally to the wooden stakes, forming a line of defense that looked a bit like a repelling horse but was obviously thin.

And as they approached the city, to Duan Pengju's surprise, a group of young men who looked like soldiers appeared in Fan County.

Duan Pengju felt a little strange when he saw the soldiers in the distance. The other party's dress was very different from what he had heard in the description of the guards. They didn't have any uniforms, and they didn't look very neat. The only thing they have in common is that they all wear a piece of red cloth on their hands.

But what surprised him the most was that these people were holding muskets in groups of three or four.

Is it true that the businessmen who came to Shandong to do business said that the guards of the Supervisory Committee have muskets?
Even if not everyone has a gun, it depends on the number of guns they have. At least two or three people have one. How can the protection army be so rich?
Just when Duan Pengju was curious, the guards on the opposite side also began to line up.

Then Duan Pengju was really surprised, because he clearly saw the cavalry slowly approaching, but the guards bravely rushed to the front of the thin barbed wire.

The equipment of these guards is not very neat, no one wears armor, in addition to those with muskets, many people also hold wooden sticks and sharpened spears in front of the barbed wire.

Only the leader of these guards looked capable, with a beautiful rifle in his hand, desperately standing at the front, cheering for everyone.

And the wooden sticks and spears they held in their hands actually made Duan Pengju dare not underestimate them.

This is the best weapon for the infantry to use against the cavalry at this time. The cost is very low, and it can stab the horse of the cavalry from a distance.Even for armored cavalry, it is very difficult to defend.

These guards were obviously on the battlefield for the first time, and they were facing a large number of cavalry rushing towards them. Duan Pengju was quite surprised by his courage.

Soldiers with such momentum would be eligible to be elected to Bianliang as the imperial army in their state. I don't want a small supervisory committee in Shandong to be able to confuse such a group of dare-to-die soldiers within one county. Cheese.

But that was all there was to it, because Duan Pengju knew that such spearmen had to be behind a solid camp or protected by shields in front to be most effective.

But now all the guards in front of them are just the wires tied to the stakes, so what's the use?
At this time, the vanguard army charging ahead had already reached the barbed wire fence.

The barbed wire was just placed at the place where the cavalry began to charge, so they had to charge ahead of time, and it was estimated that they would have to break several barbed wires to have a chance to attack the city.

Seeing the kneeling people begging for mercy at the gate of the city got up and ran into the city again after the arrival of the guards, this group of soldiers was also anxious, so they roared and rushed up with armor-piercing weapons in their hands.

Both sides contact.

"boom."

A guard standing behind the barbed wire fired first, knocking down a knight in an instant, and then the muskets behind the barbed wire fired one after another. A puff of smoke passed, and the cavalry all hit the barbed wire.

Duan Pengju, who was rectifying troops and horses in the distance, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Because of the barbed wire, it remains motionless!
More than 100 horses hit the barbed wire fence directly like hanging bacon. As Duan Pengju thought, only one or two knights broke through the barbed wire fence, but it was nothing more than loosening and breaking the wood of the barbed wire fence. The knight still failed to fly over the barbed wire.

The guards behind the barbed wire were obviously terrified when the cavalry charged. They finally mustered up their courage when they found that the barbed wire was standing still. Under the command of the officer, they raised their spears one after another. The bayonet began to stab the cavalry on the barbed wire.

On the battlefield, the officer could even be heard yelling with a Shandong accent: "Stab them to death! Quick! Straight girl, reload! The people behind are coming again!"
