What should come is something that cannot be avoided. Cheng Pan did not expect that he could farm peacefully in this era. Although Cheng Pan was very careful not to violate the bottom line of the Yuan Dynasty, he has not occupied a county town and paid taxes on time. However, the development of new forces must absorb nutrients, and land and labor have always been the main thing. If you want to seize it, you must prove your strength. War and conflict are the stages that Cheng Pan created.

In the early winter of 1342 AD, the wind was cold. Mo Rigen finally prepared everything and drew 5,000 troops from near Huaixi Road to set off towards Cheng Pan's sphere of influence. After learning that the bandit suppression army of the Yuan Dynasty set off, he led a total of 5,800 infantry and cavalry to run the logistics of Mo Rigen to meet Mo Rigen's official army.

Mo Rigen actually had a blurry impression of Cheng Pan's power. When Cheng Pan's power mobilized 20,000 people to persecute the gentry and kill the official army in the three counties, Mo Rigen really thought that Cheng Pan was going to rebel and was ready to quickly recruit a large army to exterminate him. However, due to the disappearance of food and grass in major warehouses, Mo Rigen could not take the initiative to attack quickly, so he had to order all places to guard against each other. However, as time went by, the news of the decline of prefectures and counties that Mo Rigen was worried about did not come, and there was no news of bandits outside the three counties. If it weren't for the constant news from spies, Mo Rigen would have thought that the bandits in Huangzhou had fled out. The county magistrates in the three counties said that the city was fine. As one piece of the disappearance was

When the news came, Mo Rigen knew that the bandits had not dissipated and were constantly snatching land in the three counties, and renting them to the mud-legged men at low rent. The bandit leaders in Huangzhou seemed to want to be the largest wealthy family in the three counties. This also explains why the cities of the three counties were not lost and the grain tax was paid as usual. After reaching this conclusion, Mo Rigen was so angry that you were born. You were born and just go ashore and become a good person. Last time you robbed so much land, because it was the border between the two provinces, and there was no major force to occupy it, and you didn't say anything about you. Now you are a bandit who is not jealous and continue to enclose land. Not to mention that you are so ugly, you have a big appetite. The land of the three counties, even the territory of the vassal kings granted by the imperial court is not as big as you.

In Mo Rigen's mind, Cheng Pan became a second-hand local bun who knew nothing. At the same time, Mo Rigen sent troops this time to look down on his upcoming opponent a little.

In another shot, in the three counties, everyone is particularly concerned about this battle, whether it is the civilians who farm or the gentry who decides to take a step back temporarily. This time, the imperial army won, everything will be over. The regime established by Cheng Pan, dominated by the vast industrial and peasant production class, collapsed. The farmers who obtained new land will be liquidated. The three counties will suffer a military disaster. If the Communist Army wins, this new regime will officially stand between the Jianghuai with its own strength. The Jianghuai land will not have any power to shake the order of the three counties within two years.

After all, this is the first time that Cheng Pan's forces have confronted the Yuan Dynasty's army head-on, which is a psychological test for the people in the territory. Other forces in the territory are also waiting and watching, because the land war in October did not take down the county towns within the territory, and the forces against Cheng Pan still exist. But they dare not move around because nearly 20,000 militias maintained order in the newly occupied areas.

The battle soon began on the northeast side of Chaohu Lake. First, it was a contest between scouts.

Mo Rigen brought two full-packed Thousand House Cavalry teams. The mobile force was ten times that of Cheng Pan. Cheng Pan only formed two scout cavalry teams with 100 people. However, while conveying information, these two hundred people kept actively attacking the Mongolian cavalry teams with more people than them. However, the fewer people completely suppressed the more people.

The reason is that Cheng Pan equipped Wang Tianzhu's cavalry team with new weapons.

With the use of electricity in the territory, the output of chlorine gas began to increase. The people in the chemical group created some unstable compounds, such as chlorophosphorus, which is flammable and explosive, and is a dangerous control product, in later generations. Cheng Pan made a rotor pistol based on the principle of toy gunpowder guns he played with when he was a child and the craftsmen in the territory. Because the excitation base of the musket is chlorophosphorus, propelling gunpowder or particle black gunpowder, it has a large diameter and a large weight. However, the cavalry still came up with a way, so he fixed several bamboo pieces and clothes on the gun to sew it. This pistol is powerful and has a range of about 40 meters. Because there is a rotor, it can be equipped with six rounds at a time. The cavalry group equipped with this weapon can form a barrage in a short time. The opposite cavalry is suppressed by this weapon.

However, chlorophosphate is too unstable, and it is difficult to preserve. It is impossible to upgrade the technical level of the first-class musket. The scale of this cavalry battle is getting bigger and bigger. To be precise, Mo Rigen unilaterally expanded the number of scouts. Wang Tianzhu started to face the easy and pleasant target shooting exercises of the 20-man cavalry team, and finally saw a small-scale friction between the 500-man cavalry regiment. Fortunately, the main forces of the two armies soon faced each other. The scout war ended.

Before this battle, Wang Tianzhu's cavalry team killed 5 people and ten people injured. The Mongolian cavalry was killed 342 people. Because they were full-power bombs, they completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Mo Rigen looked at the Huangzhou bandit army in the distance, and he was not as relaxed as he had just arrived. Mo Rigen felt that the damage ratio between the two sides was terrible. Three hundred warriors were killed and injured on his side, and even one-tenth of the people on the opposite side were not killed. He looked at the firearm seized by his subordinates, and there was only one. Mo Rigen did not see the fuse, but it could start unexpectedly and could also fire continuously. Its power could collude with a hardwood board that was one inch thick. Unfortunately, only one was seized, and there was not even more ammunition. Mo Rigen solemnly took the firearm and prepared to go back and let the craftsmen imitate it. As for defeating the thief on the opposite side, Mo Rigen was now unsure, even if he defeated it. Mo Rigen believed that Huangzhou thieves would definitely take them away with him.

Cheng Pan and his officers observed the deployment of enemy troops in the distance with telescopes. For such large-scale wars, Cheng Pan, who was a pure otaku before crossing, was completely absurd by this, and the officers from his peasant background were not much better. Cheng Pan's advantage now is that his army has surpassed his opponents in terms of equipment and training intensity.

At this time, Wang Tianzhu came, Cheng Pan said, "The Tianzhu mission has been completed well. Thank you for your hard work. Let me sit down and tell you about the arrangements on the opposite side." Wang Tianzhu bowed and said, "It's not hard to report to the commander." Then he walked to the simple and simple military map drawn and said, "Everyone, the opposite side gathered most of the cavalry to the east side. The camp opposite was here, and a large number of archers were arranged." Cheng Pan and his officers listened. After Wang Tianzhu finished speaking, a group of people kept discussing.

After summarizing opinions, this group of half-baked guys always believed that the mobile cavalry on the opposite side had the greatest threat. Finally, Cheng Pan issued a battle plan to focus on shelling the enemy cavalry first and then advance on the right wing.
