"Zhao Ximin!" With a loud shout, Zhao Ximin hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists with both hands, "Here!" ”

The back department is not a place to be examined by the lonely and far away

The boss's face was red, his eyes glared at him, and he asked word by word, "You said that this Ruan rebel's army does not have a combatable army except for your southern bank army, so where did this combatable army come from?" ”

With the meticulous training of the Medeno people, Southern Annan had already organized an army of up to fifteen infantry battalions, which fought several battles against the main army of Northern Annan. These infantry battalions are different from the old South Annan army, they are not only armed with Yaning's old muskets, which are second only to the Chinese, but the newly formed infantry battalions are even equipped with newly produced "needle" muskets from Yaning. The needle muskets were a new type of musket made by the Yaning people based on the various rifles they had at their disposal, and although they were unable to figure out the secrets of metal fixed ammunition and primer, the other main firing mechanisms could still be understood by mechanical disassembly. These needle muskets used a flintlock structure, and the bullets used paper fixed ammunition were copied directly from the paper fixed ammunition concept of the Senate rifle. The propellant wrapped in oiled paper is not susceptible to moisture and can ensure that the musket is evenly fired and the chance of exploding. And the warheads of these paper-mounted bullets are no longer the previous smoothbore round ball bombs, they have been imitated by imitating the Chinese's Mini bullet technology, although the effect is not as accurate as the Chinese can be launched to three or four hundred meters, but at three hundred meters, a distance that was previously unimaginable, it is already possible to destroy the enemy's cluster targets by salvo.

The troops of the Northern Army have always relied on the superiority of manpower and the charge not afraid of death to fight against the Southern Army, and when the infantry battalion had no advantage in weapons in the past, the Southern Army has always been at a disadvantage, and often can only rely on geographical advantages to gain the initiative, so in the several battles after the Battle of the Valley, both sides have won and lost, and the losses are relatively close. However, as the new infantry battalion equipped with needle muskets joined the sequence of the Southern Army, the weapons of the Southern Army immediately taught the Northern Army how to behave. After more than 10 years of war preparations, the number of the Northern Army is certainly large, but in terms of weapons, because of the lack of sea transportation for a long time and it is difficult to obtain equipment from the bordering military countries, it is quite backward, their weapons are mainly more rusty broadswords, sharpened to the point that the primary color of the shuttle, more soldiers even have no weapons, can only hold a wooden spear, bamboo gun or even just a thick wooden stick to stand at the back of the ranks, these Northern Army soldiers are generally only those who are personally qualified to equip weapons.

However, in front of the infantry battalion, their numerical superiority did not reach the threat at all, and the southern army was already starting to shoot about a mile before the northern army entered the southern army, and after Shu Da and other rebels of the Foreign Legion fled from Dongfang Port to Wenshan Port to seek refuge, these rebels were almost immediately incorporated into the newly formed infantry battalion, and with their experience in the Chinese army, they were appointed to positions ranging from the leader of the infantry battalion to the commander of the battalion. With their joining, the new infantry battalion that got the needle musket also learned to fire a salvo at ultra-long-distance targets, and with Shu Da's gradual familiarity with the needle musket, he grasped the performance of this musket, and also explored a set of salvo shots with a needle musket on a target of about 500 meters.

In the past, the soldiers of the Northern Army would only continue to move forward without fear of this practice of "putting it up and listening to it". But now it's different, the warheads of the Southern Army can not only hit so far, but also produce lethality at this distance. In the past, the invincible dense formation became a standard burden in the face of the salvo, and the salvo of the Southern Army did not even need to focus too much on aiming, it was able to take away the lives of a large group of soldiers of the Northern Army at once, and it was very difficult to march in this invisible rain of bullets, so that now as long as the other side began to fire a salvo, the soldiers of the Northern Army would begin to commotion, and once casualties began to appear, the soldiers would begin to flee, followed by the collapse of the whole line. After the last two battles, the Northern Army failed to even inflict casualties on the Southerners, and only collapsed after two volleys.

Another reason for the collapse of the Northern Army is that the Southern Army now seems to have mastered a strange ability, which can quickly maneuver from one place to another in a very short time, not to mention the small number of these fast-moving Southern Army, but each of them is a good fighter, not only will they shoot with accurate muskets from a long distance, but even if you rush close, people can fight with you with bayonets. In the first few battles, the two sides were still able to fight back and forth, but with the continuous defeat of the Northern Army and the fact that the Southern Army was more familiar with the terrain and could become more elusive, many units of the Northern Army now collapsed by themselves as long as they found that these fast troops of the Southern Army appeared behind them, and they didn't even have to eat a salvo.

These fast-moving Southern armies used the "bicycles" provided by the Chinese, and these wooden wheeled bicycles were driven in a very primitive way, and the shock absorption effect was incomparable, but they could travel on the road at a very fast speed, and soldiers could directly carry this car on foot on the road with poor passability. Although these bikes were not as fast as horses, Annan did not have so many horses, and the horses could not run at top speed for hours, so the advantages of the bikes came to the fore almost immediately. Zhou Rui and Liming, the "excellent merchants of Annan" who sold these bicycles, have now become the "official merchants" of Nan Annan, and the things they sell, whether they are expired army rations or bicycles known as "testicular crushers", are regarded as high-quality by the imperial court in Annam, as long as they can take out how much money the Li court will take out to buy, almost not even talking about the price, so that the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and Trade makes a lot of money.

There are two types of bicycles purchased by Le Thi Annam, one is a passenger model with two seats for two soldiers to ride, and the other is a cargo vehicle with a shelf in the back - although the bicycle can also seat people, but the main task is to carry people. In addition to allowing soldiers to quickly maneuver, the bicycles purchased by the Southern Army can also load various materials for transshipment, and for a time bicycles loaded with supplies appeared on the mountain roads of South Annam, and many veterans of Dongfang Port are jokingly calling the "Ho Chi Minh Trail" hundreds of years in advance.

While Nan Annan pursued the Northern Army every day, the military camp of the Northern Army was really anxious, don't look at the unstoppable rout, but the rout was absolutely not fast. The soldiers of the Southern Army on bicycles followed closely behind the tail of the Northern Army, chasing all the way and leaving marks for the main force all the way, so that the main force would not lose the trace of the Northern Army. Many of the soldiers in charge of riding have learned to release the handlebars to ride, while the soldiers resting in the back seat can stand on the rear wheel seat to carry out aiming and shooting movements, which is an almost perfect combination of fire output and mobility.

"Marshal, Zhao doesn't know where this army came from," Zhao Ximin said unhurriedly, "Zhao's South Bank Army has never appeared before it was disrupted, and you also know that there are very few firearms used in Ruan Yi's army, and there are absolutely no ones who use them so skillfully like now, so Zhao can only speculate that it should be a new army formed by the Maidno people to block us." ”

"Didn't you say that the Chinese had formed a new army for them before? Why do you say that the Medeno people formed it for them, and not think that they are Chinese? The coach didn't know much about the relationship between these countries, so he hurriedly asked. Zhao Ximin shook his head and said, "Of course it can't be, when the Chinese trained the new army for Ruan Wei, it was when they were defending against the Southern Barbarian invasion, or when Ruan Wei, the princess of Ruan Wei, was the lord of Champa." Later, after the Medeno people overthrew Ruan Rebellion by manipulating the political situation, the New Army had already fled to China with Ruan Rebellion. Later, the Maidno people let the South Shore Army attack the port of Zhancheng through the operation of the ministers they assigned, but they encountered the resistance of the new army and suffered a loss. ”

"What's the loss? It was obviously a fiasco. "It's just that I lost my pants." Many generals around Zhao Ximin didn't mind commenting wantonly on the side, and they didn't mind that Zhao Ximin was by his side.

"Yes, that's right," Zhao Ximin nodded, "Zhao someone did lose badly, so he could only send someone to escape here, but he didn't expect to be beaten again by his former gray colleagues, and he was beaten to the ground, hahahaha." As he spoke, Zhao Ximin laughed out loud.

"What do you mean by that? You're also from Annam," said one of the generals, pointing at him viciously, "and if we are defeated, you will only end worse than us!" ”

"Yes," Zhao Ximin suppressed his smile and nodded and continued, "How did Zhao Ximin not know about these things? You only know to run all the way with your head down, but I have to be careful in everything, for fear of falling into the hands of the Southerners, but looking at the current situation, everyone present is completely unconcerned, so our defeat is already a foregone conclusion. If you are defeated and captured, you can go home by paying some ransom, but Zhao is not good, if you are captured, you will have to cut a thousand knives, so you can't treat it as easily as you. ”

"In your opinion, how should this be?" Although the coach seemed to be asking for Zhao Ximin's opinion, his tone was full of ridicule, and he didn't feel serious at all.

"In the opinion of this official......" Zhao Ximin's words were interrupted by the roar next to him as soon as he said it, "Phew! You are just a general of the defeated army, and you are just accepted by my orthodox court in Annan, and you dare to call yourself an official? ”

Zhao Ximin smiled slightly and shook his head, "Then you won't be called an official," he said and walked straight to the desk in front of the boss, picked up the boss's teacup and raised it high, and slammed it on the stone floor, "In the opinion of the boss, everyone here is a waste!" If you want to surrender, I, Zhao Ximin, will be the first to do it, if you want to leave now, you can leave with your belongings, but you can only take a hundred people with you, if you don't want to leave, go to war with me, but you have to be the only one, if you don't obey, beware of your head! ”

"Did you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall? Dare to ...... in front of Ben Shuai" The boss slapped him on the desk and yelled at Zhao Ximin, but Zhao Ximin then pulled out the long knife on his waist with lightning speed, and slashed at the coach's neck, the sharp blade cut off all the connections between his head and his body, and blood gushed out from his neck, spraying the roof of the tent full of blood. The generals in the tent were stunned for a while, no one squeaked for a while, and after a while, someone shouted, "You...... How dare you attack and kill the boss! Sin deserves death! As he spoke, he shouted outside, "Someone! ”

As the curtain of the tent was lifted, it was not the commander's personal soldiers who came in, but all former soldiers of the South Coast Army wearing the armor of the Northern Army. They rushed forward with steel knives in their hands, forced the generals into a corner, and shouted at them, "To surrender or not to surrender? To drop or not to fall? At this time, the generals suddenly realized that Zhao Ximin's move was not caused by passion at all, but a premeditated rebellion.

Since Zhao Ximin's surrender to the Northern Dynasty, tens of thousands of troops under his command have been scattered into various military camps, and he has almost lost the command of the army. Originally, if the Northern Army did not launch an attack to the south, Zhao Ximin would not have been able to reunite his descendants, but the Northern Army launched a southern invasion and suffered heavy casualties in the continuous battle with the Southern Army, and at this moment he lost the will to fight. Taking advantage of this chaos, Zhao Ximin quickly made a tandem in his original army. These old men had a very difficult time in the ranks of the Northern Army, and they did not have their share, but when they were sent to death, they were placed on the front line, and they had already complained one by one, and at this moment, when they saw that their old superiors came to them, they hit it off and began to plan today's action enthusiastically and quickly.

Zhao Ximin knew that his kind of "Erwuzai" was looked down upon in the Northern Army, and even more so of those descendants under him, at this moment it was not so much to seize command, but in fact, it was more of a revenge, a revenge for the discrimination and oppression during this time.

"Don't fall!" A young general stiffened his neck and was about to say a few more words, when he saw the soldier in front of him raise his short sword and stab him in the chest, killing him on the spot. "How dare you ......" Before the words fell, the general who spoke was also slashed to the ground with a knife.

After cutting down the people, the relatives and soldiers just held their bloody weapons and continued to shout at the remaining officers, "Surrender or not?" Several officers angrily drew their swords and shouted, "Fight! ”

Suddenly there was chaos in the tent, but these generals had not been in battle for a long time, how could they beat these pro-soldiers in the case of individual combat? In just a few rounds, they were hacked to the ground, and the remaining officers looked at each other, and suddenly they made a choice almost at the same time, kneeling on the ground, "I'm willing to surrender!" ”
