"Sir, do we still fight?"

A warrior officer from the personal guard camp asked Gongsun Kang'an.

The soldiers in the personal guard camp were all composed of servants and guards from Gaoxiang County. The generous treatment cultivated their high morale, so they were not afraid of the Richard soldiers on the opposite side.

However, when the battle reached this point, even an ordinary soldier could see that the situation was not good for the government. Even if they defeated and wiped out Richard's soldiers on the opposite side, could they break through Dashi Town?

There were hundreds of Richard's Taoist soldiers at the city entrance of Dashi Town, as well as the Ming army camp composed of Han surrendered soldiers, and there were at least thousands of defenders together.

These thousands of defenders are not the squatters of the Seminites, not to mention that Richard's Taoist soldiers have always been known for being brave and fearless...

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the personal guard camp did not want to continue to fight and do unnecessary consumption. Richard lost at most a group of Taoist soldiers, but they were all living people, and they would be gone if they died...

For such a battle without the confidence of victory, the officers and soldiers of the personal guard camp were naturally unwilling to join.

However, Gongsun Kang'an had a very high prestige. If he insisted, the officers and soldiers of the personal guard camp would still rush up to fight him and try the level of Richard's Daoist soldiers.

Gongsun Kangan naturally understood the situation that even the soldiers could see, but he was unwilling to give up!

If he retreats now, Gaoxiang County will no longer be able to suppress Richard. At that time, this matter will definitely be exposed to the governor of Anguo Mansion...

In this way, it would be strange if the Gongsun family was not criticized by the governor, and it would be strange if they were weakened again!

There was a rebel who even captured towns in Gaoxiang County controlled by the Gongsun family. How did the Gaoxiang County Magistrate be the magistrate?

There are not many ways left for Gongsun Kang'an now. If he gives up, he will undoubtedly become a sinner of the Gongsun family. I guess he is likely to lose this county magistrate now!

The governor of Anguo Mansion has always been uneasy about the Gongsun family occupying Gaoxiang County.

However, under the rule of Anguo Mansion, there are not only Gongsun family members. The remaining two counties also have local family forces formed after the Han people who conquered Anguo. Compared with these local families, the Jiedushi of Anguo Mansion belongs to outsiders. If the local families rashly eliminates the local families, it is easy to cause a joint rebound.

These gentry families seem to be not very powerful, but they have very strong energy among the people and have a certain amount of armed forces themselves.

Only when the local family makes a mistake will the governor of Anguo Mansion have a reason to do it, and other families cannot say anything gossip...

The Richard rebels who captured the town were enough to be regarded as a political disaster for the Gongsun family!

"I'm not without a chance to turn the tables!"

Gongsun Kang'an, who was trapped in conflict, looked at the open main gate of Dashi Town with a gloomy face. If his personal guard camp could wipe out the Richard soldiers opposite him, he might be able to seize the open main gate.

Of course, this is just the reason Gongsun Kangan said to the people below. The real reason why Gongsun Kangan chose to continue fighting is because he did not want to lose everything he is now!

The power of the personal guard camp was gathered by the Gongsun family and the gentry of Gaoxiang County, among which were the strong men in Gaoxiang County, the Gongsun family and the warriors in other gentry families. If the rebellion failed, this power would no longer belong to Gongsun Kang'an!

If that's the case, why not try this power?

Even if you fail, will your fate be even more miserable?

Without the position of the county magistrate, will those gentry in Gaoxiang County let them go?

Is the Gongsun family's power exhaustion important? Is it important to have its own future and even life?

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

Afterwards, Gongsun Kangan issued an order to attack the personal guard camp without any surprise!

And the entire army attacked from the beginning!

Gongsun Kang'an still had prestige at this time, and his personal guard camp had never experienced failures, and his morale was still strong. After receiving the order, although many soldiers were slightly dissatisfied, they still faithfully performed their duties.

Aren’t these warriors and servants just doing their jobs with the sword?

As for those warriors, they were even fed by the Tang coins of Gaoxiang County. Even if they died in battle, their families could get a Tang coins that the whole family could eat for several years!

The Gongsun family was able to bring out such an armed force, but it was actually made with money and connections!

After Richard saw the last established army on the opposite side launching an attack, a smile appeared on his face.

He was really worried that the team in Gaoxiang County would withdraw from the battlefield, which would reduce his battle evaluation and affect the gains of fortune coins.

Richard was full of confidence in the infantry of the Five Military Camp and believed that the army in Gaoxiang County could not defeat the infantry of the Five Military Camp with an equal number!

The warriors of the personal guard camp under Gongsun Kang'an were all wearing medium-sized iron armor like those of the infantry of the fifth army, but their style was different from the iron armor of the Ming army of the infantry of the fifth army.

The iron armor of the warriors in the personal guard camp were all made by them for personal expenses, with various styles and full of personality...

Of course, in this era with the same smelting technology, the protective power of the armor is proportional to the weight. In order to save his life, these warriors not only put dozens of kilograms of fine iron on their bodies, but also lined them with cloth armor or leather armor, which is a double armor configuration like the infantrymen in the Five Military Camp.

This configuration can effectively defend against long-range individual crossbows!

The warriors and officers of the professional guard camp took the lead in a charge. They skillfully held up their shields to protect their vital faces and prevented the rain of arrows from shooting down from the sky.

This method is obviously very effective. The infantry from the fifth barracks shot a vanguard of the guards and the vanguard did not shoot down!

The arrows were either bounced away by a shield or became pendants on the armor of the warriors of the guard camp. They looked quite strong, but in fact they didn't even break the cloth armor inside...

This is the result of the infantry in the fifth barracks shooting within a distance of 100 steps!

As for the guards of the guards in the rear, they were also very well equipped. Light iron armor was standard and they had large shields in their hands. After seeing the infantrymen of the Five Military Camp opposite, they formed a formation to raise the shields above their heads. Although they were not as wild and elegant as the warriors who charged forward, they firmly protected themselves. Even with sporadic arrows, the results of the battle were very few.

Several rounds of arrows were thrown down, and thousands of officers and soldiers of the personal guards were shot down in single digits!

It is in sharp contrast with the Han county soldiers who were knocked down by a rain of arrows before!

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

The officers and soldiers of the personal guards also knew that their crossbows would not play any role in the infantry of the fifth army camp with medium-sized iron armor on the opposite side, so they simply gave up using bows and arrows, followed closely behind the scattered warriors in front, formed a spear formation and jogged and sprinted!

Since the crossbow is difficult to cause damage to the enemy, you can only score one point in melee!
