I was pulling trees in Daming, and Lao Zhu begged me to come out of retirement

Chapter 78: Witchcraft! They know witchcraft!

"Taoyuan Township, what Taoyuan Township?"

Tetsuji Buka was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

The scout said urgently: "A group of soldiers with the Taoyuan Township flag are heading in our direction."

"What!?"

Tetsuji Fuka screamed, and the violent movement caused the wound on his buttocks to bleed again.

"Hey~!"

He cried out in pain, swearing and holding his butt, and said angrily:

"Don't let me know who those damn rebels are from. When the time comes, I...I will report them to the imperial court and have them all wiped out!"

The scout said at the right time:
"General, the group that came this time is the same group that attacked you two days ago."

Tetsujiro shuddered, looked at the spy in shock, and said in a sharp voice: "What did you say?!"

He saw the charge of that group of cavalry with his own eyes. They were definitely the elite among the elite, and he would definitely not be able to defeat them with just his few soldiers who were there to guard the place.

"How many of them came?"

If there are fewer people coming, he can crush them with his advantage in military strength.

Scout: "It's too crowded to keep track of them, at least tens of thousands!"

Cheli Buhua: "..."

"What are you talking about! Why don't you quickly organize your troops and retreat? Are you staying here and waiting to die?"

The scout hesitated for a moment before saying:

"But that group of people only had about 1000 elite soldiers, and the weapons held by the rest seemed to be wooden swords."

Cheri was not stunned for a moment.
"Wooden sword? Did you see it clearly?"

The scout nodded firmly:

"It's very clear. Except for the 1,000 cavalrymen at the head, the rest are obviously the same as the 'rebels' that the general killed before. They even hold wooden swords in their hands."

There was a gleam in Cheribuka's eyes and thoughts were surging in his mind.

He naturally knew what the scouts meant by the "rebels". They were just a bunch of weaklings who had no power to fight back.
With this level of combat power, it would be no difficulty for our soldiers to kill them as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Now he was responsible for watching over the 25 civilians digging the river. He would kill a few diggers and make them bandit leaders, and hand them over to the Ministry of War in exchange for a reward.
If I run away now, losing this long-term source of income is not a big deal, but if the Ministry of War holds me accountable, I will be in big trouble.

He asked the scout again with some hesitation:

"Are you sure they're all that kind of 'rebels'?"

The scout immediately patted his chest and vowed:
"I am willing to issue a military order. I will definitely not be wrong."

As reconnaissance soldiers, scouts are considered special forces in the army. Naturally, their eyesight and strength are better than those of ordinary soldiers.

He could tell at a glance that the soldiers from the Farmers' Association were just a bunch of new recruits.

Coupled with that funny wooden sword, he believed that he could easily fight ten of those soldiers at once.

Cheli Buhua was overjoyed when he heard this.

He shouted excitedly, "Great! Assemble the troops. I will personally take command and destroy those powerful enemies!"

These are all military achievements.

The enemy has no more than 1000 combat units at most, while he has 2 almost full-strength troops.

The main cavalry, the Tanma Red Army, also has more than 5000 people. Together with the Han army and the newly-joined army, it should be easy for them to deal with a thousand cavalrymen and a group of unarmed militiamen.

He beat the drums and rang the bells, ordering his soldiers to be ready for battle.

After a few hours, the scouts reported that Zhu Yuanzhang and his men had set up camp 5 miles away. Cheli Buhua sneered, "They are indeed a bunch of idiots. They actually set up camp in front of the enemy camp and want to rest? Dream on! Send a thousand elite Red Army soldiers to attack the camp and scare those ignorant people. Tell them that this is not the way to fight a war!"

"Yes!"

The messenger received the order and immediately passed it on.

A thousand elite cavalrymen rushed towards Zhu Yuanzhang's camp.

Although the Yuan Dynasty's military was in disrepair at this time, they were a race that grew up on horseback after all, and they had a natural talent for riding and shooting.

On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang and others also received warnings from the scouts.

Tang He and Xu Da's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Tang Heda patted his chest and said:

"Marshal! Send us to meet the enemy! We guarantee that these Yuan dogs will never return!"

Although Xu Da on the side did not say anything, his eager look showed that he did not take the opponent's 1000 elite soldiers seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the two of them and snorted coldly:
"Idiot, we not only have to win this first battle, but we have to win in a shocking way. How can we achieve this in an ordinary fight? Use your brain."

Tang He was stunned at first, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly and asked:
"Are you talking about the time in Fengyang?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his lips and waved his hand.
"Go forward, use defensive tactics!"

After receiving the order, the cavalry quickly controlled their horses and galloped around the camp.
And at the same time,
Blocks of cobblestone were thrown out from the box on the horse's back.

By the time the Yuan cavalry approached, Zhu Yuanzhang's entire camp had already been built with a three-meter-high stone wall!
"How is this possible!? Where did this thing come from?"

The cavalry looked at the abrupt building in confusion. Suddenly, human heads holding bows and crossbows popped out from behind the stone wall and shot towards them.

The cavalry's faces changed drastically when they saw this.
"Get out!"

Countless arrows poured out from behind the stone wall, and dozens of unlucky cavalrymen who were at the front were shot into sieves.

The shooting accuracy of crossbows is undoubtedly much more accurate than that of bows and arrows.
These thousand cavalrymen have been trained in Taoyuan Township for six years. Although not everyone is a sharpshooter, at least they can easily hit a moving target within a hundred meters.

When the soldiers of the Farmers’ Association saw the messengers of the gods display their divine power again, they immediately cheered like a tsunami.

Han Shantong looked at the suddenly erected defensive fortifications and his mouth opened wide enough to fit a pig.

"Hi~!"

Han Shantong knelt down with a thud, "The messenger of the gods is so mighty!"

Tang He and Xu Da both laughed secretly.
What is this?

It's a pity that they themselves can't use the same divine power as the gods, and can only simply stack blocks together. Three blocks are the limit, and any higher will be unstable and prone to collapse.

Cheli Buhua in the Yuan army camp was also confused.
There was some unrest in the army, and those with a keen eye also saw the outrageous actions of the opposing army.

Wuli is only 2500 meters.
This is a distance that can be seen clearly with the naked eye.

A stone wall appears in an instant?
I didn't see them moving any stones.

When other people fight, they compete with equipment and manpower, but you fight with magic?

When the cavalry returned, Cheribuka immediately summoned the captain.

He looked at the captain with some suspicion and asked uncertainly:

"Am I dazzled? Did you hit your head against a wall?"

The captain said excitedly to Cheri Buka with a horrified look on his face:

"General, we didn't run into a wall, we ran into a ghost! Witchcraft! They know witchcraft!"
