Several large villages of the "Da Yue" army were arranged in the east and west directions, and the distance between them was not far from each other.

The military camp built fences with wood and hard bamboo, including tents, straw sheds, and various material barriers built by the Vietnamese army. A thick layer of mud was also pasted outside the fence to prevent it from being burned by fire, and there were holes between the bamboo and wood above; bamboo pagodas were built outside the entrances of the fence for observation and archery.

There are many ponds and paddy fields around, as well as large water pools. People standing on bamboo pagodas can see a large water pool in the east with their naked eyes.

Ruan Shuai ordered the entire army to line up in the military camp to resist the enemy and block the approaching Ming army with bows and arrows.

The fortifications had been built earlier, but the troops had just retreated from the front and deployed defenses in a hurry. Not long after Ruan Shuai and others gained a foothold in the military camp, they had already seen the Ming army chasing from the north, chasing them coming from the north.

On the dirt road in the rice fields, between the trees and grass, flags can be seen shaking everywhere. There are columns of Ming army growing dragons, and there are more and more people, and their offensive is rapid and crazy.

"Can you block the enemy?" Someone muttered in fear, but no one could answer this question. Everyone held their bows and arrows and looked at the scene in the distance from the shooting hole. Most of them were afraid, and some people seemed to hold their breath.

However, the Ming army did not immediately rushed over. Two or three hundred steps away, they each began to rectify their formations and let the long dragons find a place to set up. There was not much open space in the north, so the army arranged a large formation, and each part was opened to form a horizontal and vertical square formation. The horsemen were running around.

In this way, the two sides confronted each other about half a mile away. Ruan Shuai began to speculate that the Ming people were afraid that they were waiting and wanted to pull the cannons up!

He looked up at the sun in the sky. At this time, the sun was still east and it was noon. The sun seemed to be frozen in the sky and did not move for a long time. Today undoubtedly made people feel that living a life is like the year, which is probably the longest day in Ruan Shuai’s memory.

At this moment, a general hurried over and said, "Master General, a Ming army detoured from the riverside and headed to Beijiang Prefecture City! The number of people is unknown and there are many people. Look at the flag, it is a Ming general named "Yin".

After hearing this, Ruan Shuai rushed up furiously and asked, "Why are you reporting now?"

The general hurriedly said, "The general just got the news. The people over us are just concerned about running away, which is too messy."

Someone next to him said, "The troops in Beijiang Prefecture City are empty. Will the Yin surname take advantage of the situation to occupy the city? Then we have no way out!"

Ruan Shuai looked at the large number of enemy troops nearly two or three hundred steps ahead and couldn't speak for a moment.

Several enemy soldiers had begun to move, their square formations disbanded one after another, and the long line ran to the side and back. After the crowd left, rows of black copper muzzles appeared!

Then there was a burst of military music blowing from somewhere. Ruan Shuai's face turned black and he stared at the artillery in the distance. Before he could come to his senses, the flashing flames made his eyes hurt.

"Boom...boom boom boom!" A loud thunderous sound came, the loud sound was deafening, and the smoke from the distance rose.

After the general artillery is fired, sometimes people can see stone bombs falling from the air with just their eyes. However, the bronze cannons of the Ming army are different. As long as they hear the sound, the iron shells have arrived!

There was a banging sound around, and the mud-filled bamboo and wood fences were covered with mud. Many places collapsed, and wood chips and broken objects splattered everywhere. The soldiers of the Great Vietnamese army, who were waiting for the enemy, had not even come up, and many were suddenly overturned to the ground by the debris; some were fuzzy, and some were crying loudly.

The hail-like iron ball not only penetrated the fortifications, but also caused damage in the middle of the military camp. People didn't know how the iron bombs flew over, so they saw many people lying on the ground. The tent, which was built a few days ago, seemed to have been suddenly dug out of the corner of the wall and suddenly collapsed.

The scene was very terrifying. The soldiers who were unheard of in this situation almost instantly lost the courage to fight against the enemy. If they fought face to face, everyone could still fight for the tough, but such a disaster could not make people willing to wait for death. People just want to escape from such a place.

Ruan Shuai lay behind a perforation hole, holding on to the barriers with both hands, his mind was blank, and his body and mind were shrouded in pain and despair.

The huge cannon fire continued, and the military camp seemed to have suddenly had an earthquake, with shouting and noise chaotic.

After a long time, some Ming infantry advanced in columns and had already reached the range of the archery and launched horizontal lines. However, the Great Vietnamese archers who were originally waiting for the archery were already hit by the artillery to avoid them. Behind the fortifications that had been overturned, the soldiers were in chaos and could not immediately carry out effective cover-shooting.

Ruan Shuai was still leaning over there, unable to say a word, and could only recite in his heart: I didn't expect it would be like this.

He was eroded by various negative emotions. The expected situation was too far from the reality in front of him, and no one could accept it.

The remaining reason also made Ruan Shuai understand that the war had reached this point and that nothing was effective now; the battlefield with a large number of people was not like a few people fighting and changing their moves when they wanted to change their moves, and running away when they wanted to run. The chaotic battlefield would be uncontrollable for a while.

"Bang bang bang..." Rows of muskets flashed outside the perforation hole, and the smoke was heavy. The dense explosions made Ruan Shuai come to his senses a little.

Not far away, a soldier shook all over and fell down from behind the barrier. Two others screamed in horror. Some soldiers of the Great Vietnamese army were nearby, threw away their bows and arrows, turned around and ran away.

Finally, a general came over with his waist and grabbed Ruan Shuai and said, "The military camp cannot be defended anymore, so go quickly, Magistrate!"

Ruan Shuai turned around with a sword in his hand and saw the people, donkeys and horses in the military camp running in panic. There was a lot of noise. He blushed and raised his sword and shouted: "Kill! Kill! Kill the people of Guangming...ah!"

His thigh suddenly became soft, and then he felt a severe pain. A missile penetrated into his flesh. The man immediately knelt down on one knee and inserted his sword on the ground, so he barely stabilized his body.

The general and several personal soldiers led the horses over, helped Ruan Shuai get on the horse, and surrounded him and ran south quickly.

After the war started for a long time, Ruan Shuai has completely collapsed. He has never fought a decent battle with so many troops in his hands. He feels like he is running back and running!

The roads to the south were full of defeated soldiers. Ruan Shuai and others had to detour and walk towards Beijiang Prefecture City.

After a long time, they could finally see a city tower from the treetops. The soldiers who were watching came forward and said, "The city cannot be reached!"

Ruan Shuai ignored the persuasion and endured the severe pain and rode his horse forward. He came to a forest and looked at the city in the distance. He saw a bright dragon flag on the city wall floating in the depths of the smoke, and the city was in chaos.

He looked carefully for a while and roughly understood the situation.

Some soldiers of the Great Yue army who fled from the battlefield did not enter Dazhai to resist, so they ran straight to Beijiang Prefecture City; and the Ming army that appeared under the city was probably from Shangjiang on the west side, with the men named "Yin". The Ming army officers and soldiers drove the chaotic Great Yue army to the city gate, and ruthlessly shot and killed them with muskets, which was simply a massacre.

The dragon flag on the city wall has shown that the city was lost, and the city was not sure how it was captured. Although the city defense was empty, the Ming army came quickly, and only the muskets should not be able to capture the city too quickly. Most of the defenders opened the door and wanted to run away, but the Ming army took advantage of the situation to seize the door.

Because the Ming army did not stop the defenders from all sides. Until now, a city gate has not been blocked by the Ming army, and soldiers of the Great Vietnamese army have been constantly escaping from that gate.

At this moment, a general said from the side: "We have to run into the woods, hide in the woods until dark, and then send someone to find a house without anyone, and pick out the guns from the wounds for the Grandmaster."

Another person said: "Go to the woods and take off your armor and bury it."

Ruan Shuai sighed and said regretfully: "I am sorry for your loyalty."

The general said: "Now, all the people in Dayue are from each family. If the general has three strengths and two weaknesses, we brothers have nowhere to stay."

After discussing, the group tied up the horse's mouth with cloth strips to prevent the horse from clamoring to attract the enemy; they were reluctant to throw away the war horses, and they also hoped to ride away from the Beijiang area. In the countryside of Dayue, it was not easy to find a few mounts. The horse was obviously very uncomfortable and kept waving its head to break free from the shackles.

Everyone walked slowly and hard in the forest for a while, but soon there was a movement coming from behind. I don’t know whether it was the Vietnamese army’s riots or the Ming army’s pursuers who discovered their whereabouts.

"Neal..." Suddenly a horse broke free from the cloth strip and neighed.

Ruan Shuai and others immediately looked at each other. There were some big trees in the forest, but the most were bushes. They could not escape on horseback, and they had to use a knife to split a narrow road. In addition, Ruan Shuai had a injury on his leg and was slow to move, so he could not escape anymore, as if he had become a turtle in a jar.

After a while, people could be seen shaking between the roads they opened behind. Some lights could be seen vaguely behind the leaves, like fireflies. The Ming army's muskets did not use fire points to lead the fire point.

The enemy soldiers finally showed their heads. Several gun shield hands in front, wearing wide-eaved iron helmets, squatted down on the spot vigilantly. The person holding the musket behind immediately raised the firearm and looked at Ruan Shuai.

Everyone stood there, nowhere to escape. Watching the shiny iron guns, time seemed to be frozen in an instant.

"Ji Li Wala" shouted fiercely incomprehensible voice. Ruan Shuai could have understood some Chinese language, but the person who shouted obviously spoke in dialect, and he didn't understand a single word.

At this moment, Ruan Shuai's subordinates threw swords and bows to the ground one after another.
