712 Temptation
"The emperor has an order, after the war starts, there must be no mistakes!"
"The emperor has an order, after the war starts, there must be no mistakes!"
“……”
hurriedly shouted a few times to ensure that everyone heard it, so that the Ming army did not shout, and began to withdraw to the camp in an orderly manner.
On the side of the Annan Allied Army, almost everyone was stunned, whether it was Zheng Jie, or Ruan Phuc Wei, no matter how smart they were, at this moment, they were all stunned.
What does Emperor Ming mean by this? It looks like it's going to start fighting right away, and it turns out that it's just to shout this sentence?
Could it be that among the allies, there are really people who have secretly taken refuge in the Ming Kingdom? If this is the case, if you rebel when the war breaks out, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the Allies!
So who will this person who secretly took refuge in the Ming Kingdom be?
Many people have such doubts in their minds, looking left and right.
Others don't think they are, but look at the other side of their doubts. Only the Portuguese Governor Anders understood in his heart that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was sending him a message, and he was immediately speechless, there was still such a way of communication?
He was a little weak-hearted, so he turned his head to look at Ruan Fuwei who was beside him. Seeing that he was staring at Zheng Jun's side and Mo Jun's side, he just didn't look at him. Obviously, he was suspicious of Zheng Jie, or Mo Jingyu.
Seeing this, Anders couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But then he also started to worry, he is only more than 200 people, in the midst of this thousands of troops, how to make an accident, on the premise that his side can be safe, and make a greater contribution?
At this time, I saw that from the side of the alliance leader Zheng Jie, a fast horse galloped out and shouted along the front: "The emperor of the Ming Kingdom is treacherous, using a divisive strategy, and there is no internal thief, don't be fooled." The emperor of the Ming Kingdom is treacherous, using a divisive strategy, and there is no thief, don't be fooled......"
A moment after the horse galloped out, the command flag of the alliance leader began to wave, which was the order for the attack. Obviously, he wanted to take this opportunity to take a look at the Ming army.
As a result, on the side of the Annam Allied Army, all the soldiers, no matter what they were thinking in their hearts, began to shift their attention and began to advance with the military order.
When the Ming army saw it, it was still retreating into the camp in an orderly manner. Only the Che Battalion and the Cavalry stopped retreating, apparently in response to the Allied offensive.
The Allied army of 170,000 people, of course, could not attack together, it was simply not enough to carry out. In the first wave of attacks, there were only about 10,000 people. It is the main force of Zheng Jun, with a number of about 5,000; The Nguyen army sent 3,000 troops, and the Mo army sent 2,000 troops. The artillery of the Dutch and Portuguese advanced behind and did not become the armies of the first wave of attack.
People shouting horses neighing, and the sound of gongs and drums has become the mainstream sound on the battlefield.
On the side of the Annan Allied Army, as they took the initiative to attack, they became larger and larger from the side of the Ming army, and the formation that was lined up at the beginning was scattered, and it became a honeycomb to move forward.
Closer, closer......
Suddenly, I saw puffs of gunpowder smoke coming out of the Ming army's car camp.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
At the same time as hearing the roar of artillery, I saw a series of blood ditches appear on the side of the Allied forces in Annan. The screams rang out, and the crowd panicked.
At this distance, to be honest, they were not ready to be shelled, and as a result, the Ming army had already opened fire.
As soon as he saw this situation, Zheng Jie's face was a little unsightly. Obviously, there are a lot of Hongyi cannons on the Ming army's side.
That's right, since Emperor Chongzhen knew that there were Dutch and Portuguese in his opponents, how could he not prepare a little more Hongyi cannon, could it be that the Ming army was an iron warrior, Gundam? Not afraid of the artillery bombardment of the opponent?
It is common sense to prepare differently depending on the opponent. Staying in this estuary city for so long, is it idle?
At this time, on the battlefield, there was no military order to retreat, and the 10,000 Annan soldiers who were trying to attack continued to advance with a sense of panic under the shouting and reprimanding of the officers.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Another round of artillery bombardment, and naturally there were blood ditches again. In Annan's army, the panic was a little bigger.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
After the third round of artillery shelling, the distance was already quite close. The officer of Annan shouted: "Rush over, the Ming artillery will be useless, rush over, kill a Ming army, and there will be a reward!" ”
Those who are a little more bold and a little more desperate will be obedient and begin to charge. Those who are a little timid and afraid of death will fall behind, and they really can't rush behind.
In this way, these Annan troops have no formation at all, and they are completely no different from fighting on the streets, the only difference is that there are only a lot of people.
At this time, the Ming cavalry on both sides of the camp began to move. I saw that they slowly raised the speed of their horses and collided with the side of the Annan army.
"Ironclad Heavy Rider!" When Zheng Jian saw it, his face was a little ugly, and he couldn't help but shout.
That's right, in the first few rows of the Ming cavalry, there are cavalry with all men and horses wrapped in iron armor. The tall horse, the burly man, and the reflection of the sun shining all over his body are very shocking.
Moreover, after the speed of this cavalry army, you can still see that these cavalry troops are still in a line side by side, and it is obvious that the riding skills are also very skillful.
In this way, what is rushing towards you is like an iron wall of high-speed movement. Whoever dares to stand in the way, it is definitely the rhythm of being knocked to death.
Those Annan soldiers who saw the ironclad heavy cavalry rushing towards them suddenly changed their faces. Originally, they were still running, and they involuntarily slowed down, and in the end, they didn't care about the officer's obstruction, or turned around and ran, if they were stopped by the people behind and couldn't run, then they ran to both sides, anyway, they didn't want to rush up against the ironclad heavy cavalry of the Ming army, because that was really looking for death!
Inevitably, the army of the Annam Allied Army, which was tentatively attacking, was in chaos at once.
The cavalry's attack speed was very fast, and in just a moment, the two streams of people collided together.
Like a huge wave, the Ming cavalry slammed into the embankment made of sand, and scattered the sand embankment effortlessly.
I saw that the Ming iron cavalry effortlessly chiseled through the Annan army, and the light cavalry followed up to expand the results. It could almost be said that this was not a war at all, but a one-sided slaughter.
After the Ming Guotie cavalry chiseled through, it made a beautiful arc and began to attack the Annan army that had not been attacked just now.
Seeing the one-sided slaughter, the remaining Annan troops had no heart to resist, and they all ran desperately to their own positions.
The Ming cavalry immediately changed their tactics, just hanging behind these Annan soldiers, just harvesting the backward Annan soldiers, and driving these defeated soldiers to attack the main formation.
On the side of the Annan Allied Army, whether it is Zheng Jie or Ruan Phuc Bin, their faces are as ugly as they are. Although the army sent out to test the combat strength of the Ming army, neither of them was stupid enough to send their elites out. But the ugliness of the war just now still made it unacceptable to them. Because it's a one-sided slaughter!
Seeing the defeated soldiers fleeing back to their own formation, the Ming cavalry drove them behind, which may affect the formation. There was no accident, Ruan Phuc Wei and the others all ordered to shoot those defeated soldiers who dared to attack the main formation. There are also war elephant troops sent out, ready to meet the Ming cavalry that came over.
When the Ming cavalry saw it, they did not fight with the war elephants of Annan, but made an arc and galloped back to their own formation.
At this time, the Ming army car battalion had completed the covering task and had withdrawn to the main camp. When the cavalry returned, they also went directly to the camp. On the battlefield, only the corpses of countless Annan soldiers remained, as well as those wounded and not dead, lying there wailing.
Although the losses in this battle can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for the Annam Allied army, which has 170,000 horses. However, looking at the battlefield in front of him and listening to those wails, the blow to the morale of the various armies in Annam was still very big.
Zheng Jie's face was very ugly, although he achieved his goal, at least he tested some of the situation of the Ming army. For example, the Ming army had a lot of Hongyi cannons with a long range. In addition, the cavalry of the Ming Kingdom is very elite, and without command, he will adopt the most favorable combat method according to the battlefield situation and maximize the power of the cavalry.
This Ming army is worthy of the army that destroyed Dongwu, and it must also be the imperial forest army of the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, it is too powerful!
However, even if you think about it in your heart, you must not say it. Instead, Zheng Jie sent his soldiers to inform the whole army, explaining that the army was nothing more than that. The artillery of the Ming army was dealt with by Hongyi and Franco; The cavalry of the Ming Kingdom had war elephants to deal with; The strength of the Ming Kingdom is only one-tenth of that of Annan's, and ten of them will fight him, and Annan will win this battle!
According to his analysis, it seems that Annan's side has a greater advantage, no matter what happens to the Ming army, there are restrained troops here. As a result, the morale of Annan's army has noticeably rebounded somewhat.
However, the corpses on the battlefield and the wailing wounded soldiers still reminded them that Annan's side had experienced a crushing defeat just now.
Coming from afar, the whole army was tired, and just experienced another fiasco, the Ming army retreated back, and the Annam Allied Army was unrealistic to fight again, so they had to continue to camp and camp, and their leaders were also ordered to hold a military meeting.
When these Annan leaders met again, they could all find that each other's faces were not good-looking.
There are some things that can be coaxed by the ignorant soldiers underneath, and they are naturally well aware of them.
After discussing the specific countermeasures of the Ming army, Zheng Ji finally said with a cold face: "The Ming army is making such a big move this time, is it really just for the sake of discord?" If some of us have already taken refuge in the Ming army, this king hopes that you will understand, your lips are cold and your teeth are cold, just look at the movements in Yunnan to know that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is going to change the land and return to the stream! ”
In a sense, on the side of Annan, the Ming Emperor actually wanted to implement the reform of the land and return to the stream. That is, to kill these "Tusi" and replace them with officials directly appointed by the imperial court to govern the place.
Hearing this, the faces of the people in the big tent became very ugly.
