Chapter 54: The Tide
It's not so bullying.
Ruan Ti has never suffered such a big loss since he followed Mo Jingdian to fight the world.
It's not terrible to lose, it's terrible to lose in a daze.
The soldiers of the Indochina Peninsula are very powerful, the war in this land has basically not stopped for a hundred years, they have seen all kinds of fighting methods, not that there is nothing, attacking and defending, riding muskets, and being trampled and defeated by war elephants, what have they not seen?
Only I have never seen forty or fifty artillery pieces bombarded at an army formation, yes, it is a fucking death bombardment - Dazi'er, Sanzi'er, Feizi'er, catch a military formation and bomb to death.
On the occasion of this great change in hot and cold weapons, tiger squatting cannons, small flag arrows, all of which are considered artillery in this land.
On the contrary, it was General Zhenshuo on the mountain, and Ruan Ti really didn't know what that kind of thing to call a big iron bullet.
Cannon?
Not quite like that.
The 3,000 troops on the left flank, which had a good appearance, expected the relatively thick Chinese army to withstand the first round of engagement with Pan Gongji, and besieged it from the flanks, but it was bombarded by ten horse artillery guns lined up on both flanks from the back of the belly like a ripping cloth.
The key is that it is suitable for both near and far, artillery, it is said that the army is surging up, even if it is a rout and chaotic army, won't the cannon be snatched up as soon as it rushes up?
But this military formation can't rush, as soon as it rushes with you, the big shield in front of the face is withdrawn, revealing a small cannon, and the face is scattered, who dares to rush into the battle again.
The position of the Chinese army in front and behind is even more in front of the enemy, and there is artillery bombardment in the back, not to mention.
Only 3,000 people on the right flank were left to fight to the death and Pan Gongji's 7,000 or 8,000 people were still fighting impressively, but the other armies couldn't help, and the good situation was ruined like this.
Ruan Ti came up ruthlessly, and finally took advantage of the interval when the artillery on the North Mountain stopped, and with a wave of his big hand, he wanted to divide the troops into two ways, one copy the artillery formation on the mountain, and the other sweep the enemy formation, so he listened to the order beside him to ride a horse through the artillery fire, and shouted a sentence that almost knocked the commander of the Northern Dynasty out of his horse.
"General, the camp is smoking!"
In the north mountain valley of Naqi Mountain, where the camp of his 20,000 troops hoarding grain was located, several black smoke rose from the ground.
Seeing this scene, the 3,000 troops on the right wing, who were not affected at all, also panicked, and the general hurriedly left a thousand palace troops, and led his troops to retreat towards the camp without his Ruan Ti order.
The radius of fifty or sixty miles has already been robbed by them, although the road is difficult to travel, and it is not a big deal to retreat to Thanh Hoa after enduring hunger for a few days, but if the valley is surrounded by the army, they will really become turtles in the urn.
I don't know how to die.
There is no way, Ruan Ti can only retreat.
Before retreating, Ruan Ti also glanced at the left flank, and the enemy army in strange clothes was really happy.
If he changed places, Ruan Ti would be amused by this army, but at this moment, he could only feel horror.
Ruan Ti has never seen the Ming soldiers, but there are ancient portraits that these people's military uniforms are three points similar to the Ming army, but they are not very similar, and there are more types of cannons than other types of weapons.
Most people don't use swords around their waists, and the weapons they use are bird guns except spears, which are weapons that the Northern Dynasty knows and has gotten hundreds of swords in the past, which are obtained from trade with pirates, and later tried to imitate them, but they did not equip the army on a large scale.
The firearm is better than the firearm, and everyone who has used it knows it.
But they can't even get their armor together, and they expect to use a weapon like the Bird Gun, which is expensive, has a high damage rate, and is more difficult to build?
There is no shortage of iron in this land, and even there are a lot of iron ores, but during the war, it is too difficult to make and the cost is too high.
There is no shortage of technology in Annan, what is lacking is time to build weapons in a peaceful environment.
In the past, it was difficult to buy overseas, but now the difficulty is that there is no one to sell it.
The pirates recruited An, those who were killed, and those who should be killed were all killed by Blackheart Chen, and they couldn't get it through regular diplomatic channels.
Chen Mu formed a phalanx of 100 people, each formation was not in a line formation, some were thirty steps apart from each other, advancing forward without slowness, the artillery did not fight, the artillery drove pack horses to follow the position in the middle and rear of the formation, and the whole army sang a triumphant song loudly.
There wasn't a lot of unhurried pursuit in the world, but given the terrain, it worked.
Ruan's soldiers were in chaos, and only the four formations of sergeants under his command suffered heavy losses in the battle for most of the hour, all of which suffered hundreds of casualties, and the right-wing army formation with the most tragic casualties was even close to more than 1,000.
It was no longer possible to fight, and when the retreat order was issued, hundreds of people ran as the rear of the palace army, and in the end, there were thousands of sergeants who obeyed the order and regrouped their troops near the entrance of the valley, relying on the terrain to try to block the pursuing Chen Mujun.
Pan Gongji's Southern Korean army did not pursue, they saw that the enemy army was broken and scattered, and immediately turned their heads to kill the surprise attack array that was rampaging behind them, after all, the 5,000 army formation of Lai Shiqing, the main general of the left wing, had been trampled by war elephants and was close to being defeated.
Chen Mu's army steadily crossed the plain all the way and chased it to the mouth of the valley, among which there were inevitably enemy troops rushing towards him with hundreds of routs, but the enemy troops who could not form a formation rushed over without any threat, no matter which hundred-family team they attacked, they would be attacked by at least three hundred-man teams with birds.
Before he could kill him, he was overturned by the onrushing fire.
The rain of arrows from the bow and crossbow did cause a little trouble to Chen Mujun, but he was defeated by the small flag arrows and the tiger squat cannon, even if he barely killed in close quarters, it was difficult to win even in hand-to-hand combat.
Just like Chen Mu relied on, his armament was better and his officers were more.
When the enemy rushes to the range of close combat, they will also take advantage of firearms, first use the fire gun to fire for a while and then charge, but the fire gun that is also far from the Northern Dynasty can injure a few of them in thirty or forty steps, but it will be directly overturned by the bird gun dozens of people, and the most serious blow is often the lowest officer.
Xiaoqi was wounded and killed, and the deputy flag was still able to lead several banner troops to form a situation of fighting more and less in a small-scale chaotic battle, and the captain of the Northern Dynasty squad was wounded and killed, and their soldiers became stragglers fighting separately.
exhausting the energy to kill the near, but also unable to escape the situation of being killed and killed most of the rout.
At this time, if you want to escape, you can't escape.
A great panic spread among the Northern Korean army, their enemies had always been so numerous, but their own forces were more and more scattered and fewer, and the palace army formation formed by Taniguchi was broken in the blink of an eye.
The Ming army smashed into the camp like a bamboo, and the camp was destroyed by the artillery in less than a moment, and the defeated army of the Northern Dynasty poured along the valley to the northwest like a tide, and collapsed for thousands of miles.
The most panicked person on the whole battlefield was Zhang Shijue after setting fire to the enemy camp.
All the routs were coming towards him, and he did not dare to engage them at all, so he led eight or nine hundred men to form a formation in the col on the side of the valley, and in the midst of the formation, he protected the goods and horses obtained by sacking the valley, and trembled with his sword in his hand.
"If you don't chase it, whoever dares to come and grab something from us, we will fight with him!"
