The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Chapter 210 The Bookboy Who Is No Longer Hidden

Suddenly, a series of "bang bang bang bang bang" sounds like frying beans were heard.

Amidst the white smoke, Feng Zhong saw that these servants holding wooden sticks and iron blocks were spraying indiscriminately at the soldiers of the Fang family army who were charging in front of them from behind their brooms and shields.

As bullets flew everywhere, the Fang family soldiers in front screamed and fell to the ground one after another.

"What kind of weapon is this?" Feng Zhong was shocked.

The Fang family army is a direct descendant, and their weapons and equipment are powerful, and their armor is difficult to break.

But these bullets were so terrifying that in the blink of an eye, dozens of Fang family soldiers who were charging in the front were lying down screaming and unable to get up.

Then there was a continuous barrage of "bang bang bang bang bang", and the Fang family army in front fell one after another.

A lot of space suddenly became empty in front of these less than two thousand servants.

"kill."

"Kill kill kill."

The servants advanced forward in an orderly manner amidst roars, with shields and brooms sweeping ahead, and spears popping out from time to time.

The Fang family army, whose shield soldiers suffered heavy casualties from the muskets, were soon forced to retreat by the shield wall and brooms.

Feng Zhong also saw that the servants who had finished shooting were reloading quickly.

And after reloading, they rushed forward again, shooting indiscriminately at the crowd of Fang family soldiers through their shields. There was a cloud of white smoke, and a large number of Fang family soldiers fell down.

Such a sharp weapon is simply an armor-piercing weapon.

Feng Zhong really wanted to go over and see what it was, but the phalanx organized by the servants in front was very tight and was fighting a fierce battle with the Fang family army, so he couldn't get through at all.

The army formation of these servants was very well coordinated, with shields and brooms in the front, spears in the middle, and groups of musketeers who appeared out of nowhere and swept through from time to time, and servants who kept shooting arrows behind to help.

The archers are specifically used to suppress the archers of Fang's army to prevent them from causing damage to the Shutong formation.

In just a short while, the phalanx of less than two thousand servants had actually pushed the phalanx of thousands of Fang family soldiers who had rushed in back a long distance.

The Fang family army could not be stopped at all, and soldiers kept falling along the way, while others retreated in panic.

Even though the Fang family army was elite and terrifying, they were unable to organize any resistance under such circumstances. Some of the Fang family soldiers finally broke through the brooms and shields.

But they will be killed immediately by the combination of spears, tridents and other weapons.

Feng Zhong is a veteran on the battlefield and has seen all kinds of military formations.

Pure infantry relies on shields and spears, which are almost very tight, and the archers provide almost invincible defense.

However, the square formation that the Fang family army had just formed was quickly broken.

Moreover, this is a military camp, and the cavalry of the Fang family army cannot rush in at all, and it is impossible for them to help the infantry in combat.

On the contrary, in the battle between infantry and infantry, the strange-looking square formation trained by His Highness was like practicing swordsmanship, constantly reaping the lives of Fang's army.

Finally, the thousands of soldiers of the Fang family army who rushed in suffered heavy losses, and the rest were driven out of the barracks.

Feng Zhong was still in a daze. Just now he thought that these servants who had just come to support and replace him should be able to delay for a while so that he could reorganize the Royal Guards and take over again.

He also knew that at this time, he had to fight the Fang family army to the death, otherwise if their Royal Guards camp was breached, his position as commander would be over.

But they never expected that they didn't need to rush forward, because His Highness's servants alone drove away the Fang family army that rushed in, and there were such heavy casualties.

Shu Tong's group came over and said, "Feng Jianjun, we have cleared the rebels in the barracks. The rest is left to you. We need to go support other barracks."

After saying that, Tuan Zheng gave the order and immediately organized a large army of servants to rush towards the other right wing military camp.

Feng Zhong didn't even have time to say thank you. He swallowed hard as he watched this group of still energetic servants leave.

He muttered, "Your Highness, these servants are a formidable army."

Whether an army can fight or not depends on its combat effectiveness.

The outcome will naturally be revealed on the battlefield. Their Royal Guards have always boasted that they are the best army in the world.

Facing the Fang family army which outnumbered their own people, they were able to resist, but they also suffered heavy casualties and fought for a whole day without any rest.

Not to mention driving out the Fang family army, even half of the military camp was lost.

Of course, this is also because the Fang family army has deployed a large number of troops to the Imperial Guard camp.

Fang Chengyu also knew that the most capable troops in the Beijing Camp were the Imperial Guards. Only by defeating these 10,000 Imperial Guards would the other tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers in the Beijing Camp be of no concern at all.

But no one expected that the powerful Fang family army, with thousands of people fighting on equal terms with the Imperial Guards, could be easily driven out by two thousand servants.

Ning Yi, who was also watching all this from above, nodded slightly: "Although there are some shortcomings, the students' performance is still remarkable."

Qin Haifeng, who was standing next to them, was stunned. He had witnessed with his own eyes the battle between the servants and the Dongfang family last time.

It could be said to be a sneak attack, or it could be said that the terrain was favorable, with attacks from both sides, taking advantage of all kinds of benefits, and the guards of the Dongfang family were easily dealt with.

But now, they were facing each other, with less than two thousand servants fighting against the Fang family army of several thousand, and they were the direct troops.

As an old veteran of the battlefield, Qin Haifeng was naturally well aware of how terrifying the Fang family army was and how famous it was.

Just look at the casualties of the Royal Guards, known as the First Army, and you will know.

But such a powerful army was easily defeated by a group of little brats whom he usually looked down upon.

He swallowed hard and wanted to say something like, the servants had rested for a day and were full of energy, while the Fang family army had been fighting for a day and were out of energy, so they were defeated so easily.

But he couldn't say this because the results were too obvious.

However, Qin Haifeng couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, even if he's just a seventh-term servant, he's been on the battlefield and fought against the Dongfang family guards, so he has experience."

"But how could the eighth batch of servants, who had only trained for two months, be able to defeat the powerful elite of the Fang family army?"

This is what he couldn't understand. He had been a seventh-term book boy for nearly half a year. He was indeed undergoing devilish training every day and had practical combat experience, so it was reasonable for him to have strong combat capabilities.

But half of them were servants from the eighth batch. He had just seen the servants from the eighth batch. Although they were unfamiliar, their fighting ability was still strong, which he could not understand.

Moreover, these servants have no experience in major battles. Aren’t they afraid at all?

Is it true that after being trained by His Highness, they are no longer afraid of life and death?

Ning Yi smiled and said, "It's very simple. Team spirit is very important."

"Although the training time for the eighth batch of students is short, the leaders are all veterans with a lot of battlefield experience. In addition, they have a sense of honor."

Although Qin Haifeng didn't understand everything, he suddenly realized it. Come to think of it, the team leaders were all old servants.
