712 Temptation
"The emperor has issued an order. After the war begins, no mistakes shall be made!"
"The emperor has issued an order. After the war begins, no mistakes shall be made!"
“…”
He shouted several times quickly to make sure everyone heard it. The Ming army did not shout, and even began to withdraw back to the camp in an orderly manner.
Almost everyone on the Annan Allied Army was shocked. No matter how smart they were, they were stunned at this moment.
What does the Emperor of Ming Dynasty mean? It seems like he wants to start a fight immediately, but it ends up just saying this?
Could it be that some of the Allies have secretly surrendered to the Ming Kingdom? If this is the case, if they rebel when the war begins, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the Allies!
So who would be this person who secretly defected to Mingguo?
Many people have such doubts in their minds and look around.
Others didn't think they were, but looked at the side they suspected. Only the Portuguese Governor Anders knew in his heart that the Emperor of Ming was passing a message to him, and he was speechless. He actually had this kind of way of messaging?
He felt guilty and turned to look at Ruan Phoenix beside him. Seeing that he was staring at Zheng Jun and Mo Jun, he just didn't look at him. Obviously, he was suspicious of Zheng Jun or Mo Jingyu.
Seeing this, Anders couldn't help but breathe a little relieved. But he was worried later. He only had more than 200 people. How should he make a bigger contribution to the situation among these thousands of troops?
At this moment, a fast cavalry rushed out from the side of the leader Zheng Jian and shouted along the front: "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was treacherous and used a divisive strategy, and there were no internal thieves, so don't be fooled. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was treacherous and used a divisive strategy, and there were no internal thieves, so don't be fooled..."
After the cavalry sped out for a while, the flag of the leader of the alliance began to wave, which was the military order for attack. Obviously, we should take this opportunity to fight the Ming army and see.
So, on the Annan Allied Army, all the soldiers, no matter what they were thinking, began to divert their attention and began to advance with the military order.
When the Ming army saw it, they were still retreating into the camp in an orderly manner. Only the chebat and the cavalry stopped retreating. It seemed that they were dealing with the Allied offensive.
Of course, it was impossible to attack together, and it was not enough to launch the first wave of attacks. The first wave of attacks was only about 10,000. The Zheng army was the main force, with the number of people being about 5,000; the Ruan army sent 3,000 troops, and the Mo army sent 2,000 troops. The Dutch and Portuguese artillery were still advancing behind and did not become the first wave of attacking troops.
People shouted, horses neighed, and the sounds of gongs and drums became the mainstream sound on the battlefield.
As the Annan Allied Army took the initiative to attack, Li Ming Army became larger and larger. The formations that were arranged at the beginning dispersed and became a honeycomb to move forward.
Near, closer...
Suddenly, I saw a stream of smoke from the Ming military vehicle camp.
"Boom boom boom..."
While hearing the roar of artillery, blood ditches appeared on the Annan Allied Forces. Screams sounded and the crowd became panicked.
At this distance, to be honest, they were not ready to be bombarded, but as a result, the Ming army had already fired.
As soon as he saw this, Zheng Jian's face turned a little bad. Obviously, there were a lot of red cannons on the Ming army.
That's right, since Emperor Chongzhen knew that there were Dutch and Portuguese opponents, how could he not prepare more red cannons? Could it be that the Ming army was an iron warrior, Gundam? Not afraid of the opponent's artillery bombardment?
This is common sense to make different preparations based on the opponent. Is it that I am idle when I stayed in Hekou City for so long?
At this time, there was no military order to retreat on the battlefield. The ten thousand Annan soldiers who were tempted to attack continued to advance with panic under the shouts of the officers.
"Boom boom boom..."
Another round of artillery bombardment, and naturally there were blood ditches. In the Annan army, the panic became a little more intense.
"Boom boom boom..."
After the third round of artillery bombardment, the distance was much closer. Officer Annan shouted: "Run over, the Ming army artillery will be useless. Rush over and kill a Ming army, and you will be rewarded with great rewards!"
Those who are more courageous and more desperate will start charging obediently. Those who are less courageous and more afraid of death will be left behind. They will follow behind and chase after they have no choice.
In this way, these Annan troops have no formation at all, and are no different from fighting on the streets. The only difference is that the number of people is large and small.
At this moment, the Ming cavalry on both sides of the chariot camp began to move. They slowly raised their horse speed and bumped towards the Annan army.
"Iron Armored Heavy Cavalry!" Zheng Jian's face looked a little ugly when he saw it, and he couldn't help but shout.
That's right, in the front rows of the Ming cavalry, there were cavalrymen with all men and horses wrapped in iron armor. The tall and big horse, a burly man, and the whole body was shining with sunlight, which was very shocking.
Moreover, after this cavalry raised its speed, we can still see that these cavalry are still lined up side by side. Obviously, the riding skills are also very clever.
In this way, what is coming towards us is like a high-speed iron wall. Whoever dares to stand in front is definitely the rhythm of being hit and killed.
The Annan soldiers who saw the iron armored heavy cavalry rushing towards him suddenly changed their expressions. They were still running, but they couldn't help but slow down. In the end, they didn't care about the officer's hindrance, or turned around and ran away. If they were stopped by the people behind, they couldn't run, so they ran to both sides. Anyway, they didn't want to rush forward to the Ming army's iron armored heavy cavalry, because that was really a death!
Inevitably, this tentative attacking army in the Annan Allied Army suddenly became in chaos.
The cavalry's attack speed was very fast. In just a short while, the two streams of people collided.
The Ming cavalry was like a huge wave, slapped the dam made of sand and slapped the sand dam without any effort.
The Ming cavalry effortlessly drilled through the Annan army, followed by the light cavalry and expanded the results of the battle. It can almost be said that this was not a war at all, but a one-sided massacre.
After the Ming Dynasty cavalry penetrated, they circled a beautiful arc and began to attack the Annan army that had not yet attacked just now.
Looking at the one-sided massacre, the remaining Annan army was even less willing to resist and all ran to the formation desperately.
The Ming cavalry immediately changed its tactics, just hanging behind these Annan soldiers, and just harvested the backward Annan soldiers and drove the defeated soldiers to attack the formation.
On the Annan Allied Army, whether it was Zheng Yan or Ruan Phoenix, their faces were as ugly as they were. Although the army sent to test the combat power of the Ming army, neither of them was so stupid that they would send their elite troops out. However, the ugly war just now still made them unacceptable. Because this was a completely one-sided massacre!
Seeing the defeated soldiers fleeing back to their own formation, the Ming cavalry drove away from behind, which could affect their own formation. Without any accident, Ruan Phoenix and others ordered the shooting and killing of the defeated soldiers who dared to attack their own formation. There were also the war elephant troops sent to fight against the Ming cavalry that came over.
When the Ming cavalry saw it, they did not fight with Annan's war elephant. They circled in an arc and rode back to their original formation.
At this time, the Ming army chariot camp had completed the cover mission and had withdrawn from the camp. When the cavalry returned, they also entered the camp directly. On the battlefield, only the bodies of countless Annan soldiers were left, as well as the wounded soldiers who were injured and wailing.
Although the losses in this battle were only a drop in the bucket for the Annan Allied Army, which had 170,000 troops, it was still a huge blow to the morale of the Annan army.
Zheng Jian's face looked very ugly. Although he achieved his goal, he at least tested some of the situations of the Ming army. For example, the Ming army had many red and barbarian cannons with a long range. The Ming cavalry was also very elite. Without command, he would use the most favorable combat method according to the battlefield situation and maximize the power of the cavalry.
This Ming army is worthy of being the army that destroyed Dongwu. It must be the imperial guard of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. It is so powerful!
However, it’s okay to think about it in my heart, but I can’t say it out loud. Zheng Jian instead sent military soldiers to tell the entire army, indicating that the army was just like this. The artillery of the Ming army was dealt with by the red barbarians and Folang Jimen; the cavalry of the Ming Kingdom had war elephants to deal with; the military strength of the Ming Kingdom was only one-tenth of that of Annan, and one of ten was beaten by him. Annan would win this battle!
According to his analysis, it seems that Annan has a greater advantage. No matter what the Ming army has, there are restrained troops here. Therefore, the morale in Annan's army has obviously rebounded a little.
However, the corpses and the wailing wounded soldiers on the battlefield were still reminding them that Annan had just experienced a crushing defeat.
Coming from afar, the entire army was exhausted. Just after another defeat, the Ming army retreated. Even if the Annan Allied Army wanted to fight, it was unrealistic, so it had to continue to set up camps and its leader was also ordered to convene a military discussion.
When these Annan leaders met again, they could find that their faces were not good-looking.
There are some things that can be done to coax the ignorant soldiers below, but they naturally know them well.
After discussing the specific response measures of the Ming army, Zheng Jian finally said with a cold face: "The Ming army made such a big noise this time just to make a divisive plan? If anyone among us has already defected to the Ming army, I hope you understand that your lips are gone and your teeth are cold. You will know when you look at the movements in Yunnan. The Emperor of Ming will change his territory and return to the current!"
In a sense, in Annan, the Ming emperor actually wanted to implement the transformation of land and return to the land. That is, killing them and replacing them with officials directly appointed by the court to govern the area.
