open sea

Chapter 476
Ruan Juan and Pan Gongji, the two army commanders in the Nghe An War in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, did not understand what happened.

When Pan Gongji felt that he was going to die, he was in a position where he couldn't see the situation behind Ruan Juan's formation. In fact, he couldn't care less about watching the battlefield in the distance. Thousands of troops fought with vigor and vigor, and the morale of the right wing subordinates was like a rainbow!
Hey, that's great!

It is said that Ruan Juan is in a good position. He should know the progress of the battle well. This was indeed the case before the Ming army joined the battlefield. The progress of the whole battle was within his expectations, even if one or two thousand troops with strange uniforms rushed out of the North Valley It doesn't matter.

Until the three cannons on the mountain rang.

The first round of artillery was very accurate, and it landed three times on the left-wing army formation, which almost disrupted the entire five thousand formation. It took a long time for the general to react.

The artillery in the back was not allowed. It was obviously supposed to hit the left wing, but the shells kept falling towards his center, so that he couldn't even send an order.

It took Ruan Juan a long time to react.

"It's not that the first shot was accurate, it's that the first shot was inaccurate. Those three cannons were aimed at me!"

If Liandou, the leader of the Japanese soldiers holding the Qi family knife to protect the artillery on Beishan, heard Ruan Juan who was being beaten down the mountain was so understanding, he would definitely applaud, but he heard that the artillery was going to beat Ruan Juan, directly Range to bombard the enemy general.

If you get it, you want it, and if you don't get it, it's not a loss.

Who made their army formation too dense?

But Lian Dou didn't know what Ruan Juan was thinking, so he just held the five-foot Qi's knife and covered his ears and squatted aside—the flag was raised at the foot of the mountain, and the family artillery team fired.

boom!Boom!Boom boom boom!

The ten cannons of General Zhenshuo in the Beishan position fired at Ruan Juan's army one by one, and huge smoke and flames erupted in the mountain forest.

This has already exceeded the distance that the artillerymen usually drill for accurate bombardment of 5000 to [-] paces, and even the entire range is not accurate. Even with the [-]-man army of Ruan Juan's army, nine shells were still scattered everywhere in the army formation. .

There was even a cannonball that passed over the central army of the Northern Dynasty, and when it bounced off for the second time, it fell to the place where the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty fought.

Even so, Ruan Juan's decline was unavoidable. Pan Gongji's war elephants had rushed into the front of his central army and trampled around, rushing across a third of the line, exuding a frightening smell from the horses and terrified screams from the soldiers. Voice.

In this era, any weapon that can directly cause casualties on the battlefield is limited. Regardless of artillery or war elephants, except for the poisonous gas commonly used by the northern soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, none of them can cause mass destruction on the battlefield in a short period of time.

But the front line has been messed up. Even if Ruan Juanzhong's army is divided into two large formations, with a total of 6000 soldiers, the trampling of war elephants or a round of artillery can only kill a hundred of them, but none of the [-] people Willing to be the hundred who were killed.

People never need heroes because heroes are great, but when disasters that cannot be stopped by manpower occur, heroes will die for more people.

The artillery didn't destroy the army formation, let alone killed many people, but those screaming and flying iron balls destroyed morale and Ruan Juan's complete command system.

At this moment, what Ruan Juan needs is not a hero. When the elephant tramples, there will always be an ordinary hero who will step forward and stand in front of his comrade Paoze to face the invincible giant elephant, but one or a few heroes cannot reverse the defeat.

Ruan Juan needed a hundred or two hundred heroes to follow his orders to block the impact of the elephant array and save more people from life.

But they don't have so many heroes anymore, and they don't have command. Those heroes with heroic qualities are fighting in various parts of the battlefield. Flying shells.

The result of not having a hero is that everyone has to die.

His army formation was disintegrating. Starting from the front formation of the central army, the gap where the war elephants rushed into was the dividing point. The soldiers were driven by fear and squeezed to both sides of the front line. The army split up and attacked together, but those former tiger and wolf divisions only wanted to escape at this moment.

In a blink of an eye, the three thousand troops in front of them were defeated by the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty, and they were about to spread to the rear.

In fact, the moment the artillery sounded from behind, people from the rear army and the right wing had already fled towards the valley camp, and the defeat was stopped only by the supervisor army left behind at the end of the previous team killing a group of routs.

Pan Gongji also had no choice. He was red-eyed by being killed. He used a war elephant to attack Ruan Juan. As the coach, he even rushed to the front of the formation to fight with a knife for no other reason, because behind him there were also war elephants from the Northern Dynasty slaughtering him. army.

He knew very well that if he didn't defeat Ruan Juan's army as soon as possible, until the left-wing coach Lai Shiqing couldn't resist, once he was attacked by two sides, the whole army would be wiped out.

And the army in Nghe An Prefecture would never go out of the city to rescue him. Those people had no time to see his jokes, and wished that he would be defeated, captured or even killed by the Northern Dynasty, so that no one would be able to compete with them for the power of the Li Dynasty.

It took less than an hour from the formation of the battle generals to the trampling of the war elephants on the army formation. The sun had not yet risen to noon, but the situation of the war was not as anyone expected. The three commanders were almost caught off guard in the same way.

Sai Donkey is not easy, this battle is not what he imagined.

He was riding a war horse and walking behind the banner army in a daze.

The Nanyang Army's proud blunderbuss team, from the moment they stepped out of the valley, only the two infantry Baihu who were dispatched to meet the cavalry had fired blunderbuss.

It took Chen Muqie a while to tell if Ruan Juan's rapid collapse of the [-] formations on his left wing was a strategy to lure the enemy.

After all, it's not his own battle, more kills and less kills are earned. He sees that other people are fighting fiercely on both sides, and he is not willing to risk his own wealth. It is interesting enough to give some firepower to support.

But others don't think so.

"Marshal, let me go out, my hometown is Yulin, I have a room in Liuliang."

Young General Juniper was carrying three knives on his back, one handle in his hand, and his breastplate and armbands were shining brightly. He pointed at the enemy line that kept shrinking and squeezing each other, and shouted: "Three heads with one tael of silver, what can we do today?" Cut out a street for Old Du's family!"

Chen Mu looked Juniper up and down, looked at Du Heizi's armor, and then looked at the shirtless and clothed man opposite him. Twenty people couldn't make it together. He thought, if he was a little lucky, he might not be able to make it today It can really make Juniper achieve the record of an ancient fierce general.

So he tilted his neck and flicked his horsewhip lightly, and said, "Then can your old Du's take over all the good things?"

Chen Mu smiled in his heart and said that your Yulin Li family will give birth to a postman from Yinchuan in the future. Your old Du's house occupies a street, and no one can live there?
"Then commander give me a centurion, and the centurion can kill them all! Handsome man, this is not a battle!" Juniper slapped his thigh anxiously, and said, "This is already defeated, let's go directly It's a chase!"

At the edge of the battlefield shouting to kill the sky, Chen Mu raised his hand and was about to speak, but was deafened by the salvo of five two-pound cannons from the left rear, patted his ears through the helmet, and waved: "Don't think about fighting and killing all day long!" Killing, it has been Wanli Years, and I am not happy to charge into the formation and raise the flag, and the fifteen hundred-household army formation is pushing steadily."

"Come and sing together—with all of us united, the mountains can be shaken!"

　Good morning!
