Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

"The composite army has a full complement of 10,000 crossbow cavalry archers. If there are more, there won't be enough crossbow arrows. Each component of the cavalry archer can only be equipped with 30 crossbow arrows at most."

"So you must retrieve the crossbow arrows you shot to minimize the losses!"

"Ten thousand cavalry archers and ten thousand supporting soldiers make a full complement of twenty thousand!"

The biggest role of these 10,000 supporting soldiers is to get more crossbows for the cavalry archers, and also to recover the crossbows after the war.

Just like there are two snipers on the battlefield, one is the observer and the other is the sniper.

Finally through their discussion.

All these 20,000 soldiers were handed over to the First Army.

It’s not for any other reason, but because the 20,000 people need to be a whole.

The crossbow army cannot be divided into two parts, but is a complete truth. The First Army originally had 30,000 troops, which was just enough to form a crossbow army.

For example, the personal guards that originally followed him had already been divided into several teams.

Each team has one thousand people.

After the arrangements are made.

Such a configuration is not suitable for forming a crossbow army.

"Is our King of Zhenbei a god from heaven? He can actually design a military crossbow with such great power!"

You all know that this compound bacteria milk was designed by Hongxuan.

They felt it was unbelievable how a person could be an all-rounder, but their King Zhenbei was an all-rounder, as if there was nothing in the world that he could not do.

An army so powerful,

All the core members of the Yuzhou Army, which is the First Army Group, were selected.

The two army commanders are Fan Jingtao and Yu Shunshen.

After their 30,000 troops obeyed Hongxuan's reforms.

They were shocked to find that the combat effectiveness of the entire army had been improved by more than one level.

Not only the two army commanders had such feelings, but the six brigade commanders also had such feelings.

Hongxuan came to his own troops.

All the soldiers looked at Zhenbei King Hongxuan with admiration.

"All the soldiers of the Imperial Guard and the First Army will break camp and head to our destination, Beiyan!"

Upon hearing Hongxuan's order, the Royal Guards and the First Army all broke camp.

Hongxuan used to have only a thousand personal guards, but now he has tens of thousands of soldiers.

It took less than a month.

Moreover, these soldiers have absolute obedience to Zhenbei King Hongxuan.

The army marched towards the north.

Hongxuan's two princesses have set off together.

Also setting off with the army were more than three dozen rescued women and more than 300 children.

It is estimated that the army led by Hongxuan will be able to reach the northern border in just two days.

The season now is March, which is the Spring Festival.

However, the colder the wind became, the more biting it became. Fortunately, this troop had already replenished enough clothes in Yuzhou.

Whether children or soldiers, they all wore warm enough clothes.

When he was in Yuzhou, Hongxuan did not raid the homes of corrupt officials.

It’s not that Hongxuan doesn’t want to kill them, but it’s impossible to kill all the corrupt officials.

In a sense, we cannot entirely blame these corrupt officials. Everyone wants to live a good life, and no one wants to live a hard life.

Under the current circumstances, the best way to govern Yuzhou is to rely on the grain management that has just been reformed.

Although it was just the result of Hongxuan's haste.

However, under his own pressure, the vast majority of the people in Yuzhou would have fields.

That's enough, this is the best case scenario.

If the food officials appointed by themselves still fail to do their job,

Then just wait for your head to fall.

Hongxuan rode on a tall horse at the front of the team, with hundreds of Qilin Guards on both sides protecting King Hongxuan of Zhenbei.

These Qilin Guards are all equipped with compound repeating crossbows.

Just then a figure rushed over from the front and slowed down only when it reached the front of the team.

The person who came was Yu Deshen, the captain of the communications reconnaissance team.

His brows were furrowed as if he had detected bad news ahead.

"Hum! Hum!" Yu Deshen pulled the reins.

"Reporting to King Zhenbei, there is danger ahead!" Yu Deshen said.

"There is danger. What did you detect?"

Hongxuan asked.

My humble subordinates have discovered a narrow area ahead with ambushes on both sides.

"Are there ambushes ahead?" Hongxuan frowned.

"How could there be an ambush when we are about to arrive in the northern border? Is it an ambush from the Northern Shang Kingdom?"

"Reporting to the prince! After sending people to investigate, I found that these ambushes are all from our Dafeng Kingdom."

After hearing this, Hongxuan's face became extremely ugly.

He didn't expect that it was the soldiers of the Dafeng Kingdom who ambushed him. Hongxuan knew who did it without even thinking about it.

"General Jianwei Cao Zhu and General Dingguo Cao Wenxiu are looking for death."

"Your Majesty! Perhaps these two generals don't know that Your Majesty has so many troops and think that they are just a thousand guards leaving the imperial city."

Zhao Bencai, who was beside him, said.

"This king just came here to practice and test the power of the compound rapid-fire military crossbow!"

"Qilin, ask the two commanders to come see me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qilin Guard said respectfully.

After saying this, he invited two army commanders over.

Fan Jingtao and Yu Shunshen came to Lai Hongxuan respectfully.

"You two muster two thousand Ming army crossbowmen and follow me to destroy the enemy! I also want to see the effect of this composite crossbow."

Immediately, several officers and Qilin Guards came to stop them.

"Your Majesty! You are worth a ton of gold, so let me kill the enemy!"

"No need to dissuade me. I must go and check the power of the composite crossbow myself, and also see if it is an ambush sent by those two generals."

"Yes! I humble myself and obey the order!"

Soon, Fan Jingtao and Yu Shunshen quickly assembled two thousand crossbowmen.

Hongxuan led the army's crossbowmen towards the ambush.

When they came to a narrow terrain, Hongxuan ordered his troops to split into two groups.

Fan Jingtao, you take a thousand crossbowmen to kill the ambush troops on the right.

Hongxuan led a thousand crossbowmen to kill the ambush troops on the left.

Before this, Hongxuan had already received information that there were only 4,000 ambushing troops around.

It is enough for Hongxuan to bring two thousand crossbowmen.

After dividing the troops, the two groups approached the ambush.

When Hongxuan led his personal guards to a certain position.

"Okay, stop!"

Hongxuan saw the ambush troops with his naked eyes, and these ambush troops hid themselves in the haystack.

"Follow my command! Get ready!"

When you get close enough.

Hongxuan ordered his crossbowmen to prepare the crossbows and open the safety of the crossbows.

"Follow my orders and prepare to shoot."

A thousand crossbowmen fired their crossbows at the same time.

shhhhhh!

shhhhh!

The sounds of breaking through the air came one after another.

The crossbow arrows on the left and right sides were fired in no particular order.

"Ah!"

"what!"

The lives of these ambushed soldiers were being harvested like wheat.

They never dreamed that they would die at the hands of such a powerful crossbowman.

"Ah! Run! Run! What kind of military crossbow is this?"

How could these soldiers who were running away on their own legs be as fast as the crossbow arrows?

Under round after round of crossbow shooting.

Soon 90% of the ambushers were shot dead.

Hongxuan sighed that the power of this composite crossbow was comparable to that of a musket.

All the crossbowmen were extremely shocked.

Shocked by the weapons in their hands.
