From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 91 Gongsun Kangan’s selfishness

“Sir, do we still fight?”

A warrior officer in the guard camp asked Gongsun Kangan.

The soldiers in the guard camp are composed of guards from Gaoxiang County. The generous treatment has cultivated their high morale, so they are not afraid of the Dao soldiers on the opposite side.

But the battle has reached this point. Even an ordinary soldier can see that the situation is not good for the government. Even if they defeat the Li Cha Dao soldiers on the opposite side, can they break Dashi Town?

Hundreds of Li Cha’s Taoist soldiers were stationed at the head of Dashi Town, and the Ming army camp composed of Han descendants. Together, there were at least a thousand defenders.

These thousands of defenders are not the parallel imports of the Semu people, not to mention that Richard’s Taoist soldiers have always been known for being intrepid and fearless…

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion did not want to continue to fight for unnecessary consumption. Richard lost at most a group of Dao soldiers, but they were all living people. When they died, they were all gone…

For this kind of battle that is not sure of victory, the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion are naturally unwilling to join.

However, Gongsun Kangan’s prestige is extremely high. If he insists, the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion will still rush to fight him, and try the level of Li Chadao soldiers.

Xiaobing can see the situation, Gongsun Kangan naturally understands it, but he is not reconciled!

If it retreats now, Gaoxiang County will no longer have the ability to suppress Richard. At that time, this matter will definitely be brought to the Anguo Government’s Jiedu Envoy…

In this way, it’s strange that the Gongsun family didn’t get a stroke by the jundu envoy, and weakened it again!

In Gaoxiang County controlled by the Gongsun family, there was such a rebel who broke through the town. How did Gaoxiang County’s magistrate act?

There is not much road left for Gongsun Kang’an now. If he gives up, he will undoubtedly become a sinner of Gongsun’s family. It is estimated that his current county magistrate is very likely to lose!

The Jiedu Envoy from the Anguo Mansion had monopolized Gaoxiang County by the Gongsun family, but he was always uneasy.

However, there are not only the Gongsun family under the rule of Anguo. The remaining two counties also have local family forces formed after the conquering of Anguo by the Han people. The Jiedu of Anguo is an outsider relative to these local families. If you rush to eradicate the local families , It is easy to cause a joint rebound.

These gentry families seem to have little power, but the energy they have among the people is very strong, and they also have a certain amount of armed force.

Only when the local family makes a mistake on their own, will An Guofu’s Jiedu Envoy have a reason to do it, and other families can’t speak any gossip…

The Richard Rebels that broke through the town were a political disaster for the Gongsun family!

“It’s not that I didn’t have the chance to comeback!”

The contradictory Gongsun Kangan looked at the open front door of Dashi Town with a gloomy face. If his guard battalion can completely wipe out the Dao soldiers on the opposite side, he might be able to seize the wide open front door.

Of course, this is just the reason Gongsun Kangan told the following people. The real reason why Gongsun Kangan chose to continue fighting is because he doesn’t want to lose everything he has now!

The power of the guard camp was assembled by the Gongsun family and the gentry of Gaoxiang County. Among them were the strong men of Gaoxiang County and the warriors of the Gongsun family and other gentry families. If the rebellion fails, this force will no longer belong to Gongsun Kang. Ann!

That being the case, why not try hard with this force?

Even if he fails, is it possible that his fate will be more miserable?

Without the position of county magistrate, would the gentry of Gaoxiang County let them go?

The power of the Gongsun family is lost, has one’s own future and even life is important?

Gongsun Kangan is now like a gambler, his mind is full of crazy ideas!

Then, Gongsun Kangan unsurprisingly issued an offensive order to the guard battalion!

And the whole army attacked as soon as it came up!

Gongsun Kang’an still had prestige at this time, and the guard battalion had not experienced failure, and the morale was still strong. After receiving the order, although many soldiers were slightly dissatisfied, they still performed their duties faithfully.

These warriors and Jiading guards, aren’t they just doing slashing jobs?

As for those warriors, they are fed by the Tang coins of Gaoxiang County. Even if they die in battle, their families can get a sum of Tang coins enough for the whole family to eat for several years!

Gongsun’s family was able to pull out such an arm, in fact, it was born out of money and connections!

Richard saw a smile on his face when he saw the last formed army on the opposite side launching an offensive.

He is really worried that the team in Gaoxiang County will withdraw from the battlefield, which will reduce the score of his campaign evaluation and affect the harvest of Qiyun coins.

Richard is full of confidence in the fifth army battalion infantry, and believes that the Gaoxiang County army cannot defeat the fifth army battalion infantry if the number of troops is equal!

Gongsun Kang’an’s guards all wore the same medium-sized armor as the fifth army camp infantry, but the style was different from the Ming army armor of the fifth army camp infantry.

The warrior armors of the Guardian Camp were made by them with private money. They have a variety of styles and are full of personality…

Of course, under the same environment of smelting technology in this era, the protective power of armor is proportional to its weight. In order to save their lives, these warriors, in addition to putting dozens of kilograms of fine iron on their bodies, are still inside. It is lined with a cloth faceplate or leather armor, which is the same double armor configuration as the fifth army battalion infantry.

This configuration can effectively defend long-range individual crossbows!

The warrior officers of the guard camp took the lead in the charge. They skillfully held up the shield to protect the vitals of their face to prevent the rain of arrows from the sky.

This method is obviously very effective, the fifth army battalion infantry throws a guard battalion forward warrior without shooting down!

The arrow is either bounced off by the shield, or it becomes a pendant on the armor of the guard camp warrior. It seems to be inserted very firmly, in fact, the cloth visor inside is not broken…

This is the result of the fifth army battalion infantry throwing within a hundred steps!

As for the guards of the guards at the rear, they are also very well equipped. Light iron armor is standard. They all have large shields in their hands. After seeing the infantry from the 5th army battalion on the opposite side, they raise their shields above their heads in formation, although there is no charge forward. The warrior’s style of play was so wild and elegant, but he firmly protected himself, even if there were sporadic arrows that were caught, the results were very few.

After several rounds of arrow rain, thousands of guard battalion officers and soldiers were only shot down to single digits!

is in stark contrast with the Han county soldiers who had been brought down by a rain of arrows before!

This undoubtedly confirms the important role of armor in the cold weapon battlefield!

Personal Guards Battalion officers and soldiers also knew that their bows and crossbows would not have any effect on the 5th army battalion infantry in the opposite medium-sized armor, so they simply gave up the use of bows and arrows, followed closely behind the scattered warriors in front, and formed a spear formation to jog and sprint!

Since it is difficult for a crossbow to inflict damage on the enemy, it can only be used in close combat!
