The disgraced official I took care of was actually Zhu Houcong's childhood friend.

Chapter 735

Chen Huan raised the bamboo stick in his hand and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Chen Huan's soldiers methodically surrounded the Tiger Legion and, under Chen Huan's command, began to advance into the various passages.

Chen Huan was originally full of confidence, thinking that even Lord Zhou had his moments of mishap. If he won this time, he would have something to brag about to his colleagues.

Although it wasn't Lord Zhou who personally commanded it, General Lin is no ordinary man either.

However, Chen Huan's reverie didn't last long. As soon as his soldiers made contact with the Tiger Legion, he immediately realized something was wrong.

It was too fast. His men were like crops of rice, constantly being knocked down by the Tiger Army. As soon as one crop fell, another would take its place.

Only then did Chen Huan realize that something was wrong; the army before him was no ordinary army.

Chen Huan couldn't help but recall what Zhou Chu had just said. This army had followed General Lin in his campaigns across the country and had even participated in the surprise attack on Yarkand. How could it be an ordinary force?

Chen Huan originally thought that all the armies of the Ming Dynasty were roughly the same, and even if some were more powerful, they wouldn't be too outrageous. But now Chen Huan realized that he was wrong, very wrong!

By the time Chen Huan realized what was happening and waved his command flag to order his troops to retreat, he had already lost nearly two thousand men.

Chen Huan took a deep breath and looked at the seemingly flawed formation in front of him. Only then did he realize that the troops in front of him were not just for show, but were fierce tigers that would prey on anyone they chose to kill.

Faced with such an army, Chen Huan felt his scalp tingle. He couldn't think of any way to break through the formation other than with bows and arrows.

Chen Huan knew very well that it was advantageous for neither side to use bows and arrows; otherwise, given the fighting strength this army had demonstrated, Chen Huan couldn't even imagine how luxurious their equipment would be when they were fully equipped.

At the very least, they need to be equipped with guns and cannons.

In this respect alone, our own troops are no match, let alone our warhorses.

The more Chen Huan thought about it, the more frustrated he felt. He knew very well that the enemy army must have a warhorse for every soldier. If they were allowed to ride horses, Chen Huan didn't even want to think about how vulnerable his troops would be in front of them.

It's probably like a piece of paper, easily scattered with a single wash.

"My lord, I admit defeat. I am completely convinced."

Having figured all this out, Chen Huan no longer dared to linger in battle. It would be better to surrender as soon as possible, to save face for himself and his soldiers.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chu gave Lin Lu a wink, and Lin Lu quickly struck the truce drum. Soon, both sides stopped, and the entire training ground returned to calm.

However, the students and Chen Huan's soldiers were far from calm. Only now did they realize that the difference between people was greater than the difference between people and dogs.

In just a short while, this force of about a thousand men swiftly and decisively defeated the soldiers they encountered, as if those soldiers were not enemies at all, but training targets.

What kind of team is this?

At this moment, everyone, including Chen Huan, was trembling with fear.

“This team was recruited and trained by me personally. This is just training. If they were fully armored and mounted on warhorses, a hundred or so of them could rout your more than ten thousand men. There are five or six thousand soldiers like this.”

Zhou Chu looked at Chen Huan and the tens of thousands of troops in front of him, and said loudly.

If Zhou Chu had said this before, everyone would have scoffed and thought he was delusional. But now, faced with the undeniable truth, Chen Huan's soldiers all lowered their heads, feeling utterly humiliated.

Those students who were originally somewhat arrogant were now deeply shocked. Their original arrogance had vanished, replaced by fervor. They had only one thought in their minds: if they were to lead this team, wouldn't they be invincible?
