Chapter 118: Killing one is a crime

Ding Lie understands one thing very well.

Don't look at Ruan Chi fighting so fiercely, but if he doesn't intervene, the winner will definitely be the Ming army.

Before the Great War, Annan's army was only a hundred thousand, but now that it is consumed, how many Ruan Chi's core veterans can have, but only 30,000 or 40,000.

That's still too much.

But Da Ming?

Although the Guangxi soldiers trained by Guo Deng are all new soldiers, in fact, there is an almost endless supply of materials from the Ming Dynasty, which may be worse than some of the old battalion leaders in Beijing, but they can defeat the soldiers of Annan.

After all, many Guangxi soldiers, they were originally soldiers of Guangxi Tusi, but they rejoined the army with a different identity, and they were not really croppers before.

This gap in fundamental quality cannot be reversed by opportunistic shortcuts.

If nothing else, tenacity can't do it.

If they just started, they could still rely on their blood courage, but after a long time, whether it was the wounds on their bodies or the cold rain in the sky, they would wake up.

Therefore, Ding Lie almost at all costs pulled out the mountain pass and joined forces with Ruan Chi.

It seems that all the firearms of the Ming army were useless in the rain.

So it was a terrible hand-to-hand fight from the beginning.

Wang Yue attaches great importance to his martial arts classmates, and he has also achieved some results, at least among Wang Yue's subordinates, he has the most martial arts officers.

These officers dare not say how powerful they are, but when most of the officers in the army are from martial arts and have received almost the same education, it seems that there has been a change from quantitative to qualitative change.

Even in the torrential rain, even if the ground was extremely muddy, even if there were mountain torrents pouring down from time to time in the mountains on both sides, the Ming army always maintained a stable formation.

It seems to be a simple thing in ordinary times, but at this time, it seems to be precious.

Even though the Ming sergeants faltered, every foot was like a big stone tied to it, even if many tactical actions were out of shape, there was improper coordination between the formations and the formations for various reasons.

But after all, it was a battle in formation, and it was always better than Annan's soldiers.

This is the flaw of Annan's soldiers.

There are too many recruits.

Even if it's a sunny day, how many of Ding Lie's commands can line up and fight?

Therefore, in the face of the offensive of the Ming army, Ding Lie could not attack for a long time.

Ding Lie thought for a long time, he suddenly flicked his whip and pointed to a gap in the Ming army, but it was the Ming army that was deformed from each other, leaving a gap.

Ding Lie said: "Left and right Erlang and I will kill the enemy. ”

No matter how many people there are, he can't put it away, so all he can choose from is the elite.

And the elite of Ding Lie's army, except for the personal soldiers around Ding Lie and the men and horses guarding Li Sicheng, where are they?

They are all at war with the Ming army.

Ding Lie seems to be known as a million-strong army, but there are very few battalions that can be sent out at critical times.

Ding Lie could only go into battle in person, in order to chisel through the battle.

Ding Lie took more than 1,000 soldiers, and from this gap, he went straight into the Ming army's main formation, but he didn't know that those who counted people were also counted as people.

He was not an ordinary general in the face of Wang Yue.

Wang Yue faced the attack of the Annan people and had a hard time coping.

However, in just half a day or so, Wang Yue already had a list in his hands, all of which were his juniors.

Yes.

If it weren't for the fact that a large number of officers with martial arts backgrounds took the lead at this time, acting as middle and low-level officers, and it was also the skeleton of the whole army, the Ming army would have been in such a situation. Still in formation.

But Wang Yue also understands one thing.

Although there have been more than a dozen sessions of Ming martial arts. There are more than 1,000 people in each session, and there are hundreds of people at the least, which seems to be a lot of people, but when they are full, there are only more than 10,000 graduates.

Moreover, the quality of martial arts teaching has been improving.

In the first few sessions, in fact, they were all half-pulled, and being a low-level officer was qualified, and it was more up to them to see themselves.

From the beginning when the eunuch Liu Yongcheng was in charge alone, to a large number of officers with actual combat experience who participated in it later.

Then count those who have died in battle, those who have been discharged due to injuries, and so on.

There will be no more than 10,000 people still serving in the Ming army.

And these 10,000 people are all over the border army, the Beijing camp, the guard, the northern Xinjiang, the sailors, to say a lot, as specific as how many Wang Yue can have, but only two or three hundred. These two or three hundred people, plus some other officers, have supported the current situation.

However, these people cannot be supplemented, and one is one less than one who dies.

Wang Yue saw the list, in fact, it was not a list, but a schedule of the collapse of the army, when these officers died in battle to a certain extent, this battle must be transformed into a melee.

In the melee, the advantages are as prominent as the disadvantages.

Under normal circumstances, no one wants to play like this.

The Annanites were sure that they had no choice but to use this method that was not a solution. But Wang Yue didn't want to.

He wanted to frustrate the enemy and drive Annam's army down. Give the army some time to recuperate.

That's why this trap was set.

It is true that the harsh natural environment has caused a gap in the Ming army's front, but Wang Yue did not think about making up for it, but used a killing move here.

A few cannons were placed here, and several wooden sheds kept them out of the rain.

Wang Yue saw someone rushing over, because there was rain blocking him, he didn't know who it was, he asked the people around him, and said, "Are you sure this can start?" ”

Several gunners said: "Please rest assured, general, we will guarantee with our lives." ”

Wang Yue said: "There is no joke in the army, once it can't be beaten, you don't need to talk about your fate." ”

Although the heavy rain has rendered most firearms unusable, it is not absolute. It's like the Ming army camp before, and a few cannons can be fired.

Wang Yue was also in the army, but he didn't fire at the beginning, but worked hard to keep this killer feature until now.

In such a heavy rain, even if there is a wooden shed to cover it, after a few shots, it is inevitable that there will be mute fire. So the outside of this gun has been wrapped in oiled paper, and a lot of water discharge measures have been used.

But even so, Wang Yue did not put all his hopes on these artillery, but also prepared a hand, Wang Yue's personal soldiers are on one side, once the cannon fires, this is the beginning of the counterattack, if the artillery fire does not sound, it is used to bet on the gap.

Ding Lie obviously didn't expect Wang Yue's hand.

When he led the team to kill, it seemed that he was going to break through the Ming army's formation in one fell swoop. But I heard a series of roars.

The Ming army first used scattered bullets, and then solid bullets. Heavy fire.

Because of the rain, the visibility has been reduced, so the Annam army did not find the artillery of the Ming army at all, and naturally did not expect this.

So in the blink of an eye, the soldiers who rushed to the front in the Annan army were strewn all over the field, and a large area of rain was stained with blood in an instant.

Ding Lie clutched his stomach, which was a deliberate move, because a cannonball passed through his stomach, bringing out the intestines and internal organs or something, and flew everywhere.

The place in his stomach was already a big empty hole.

Ding Lie's hand couldn't be covered at all.

Ding Lie wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, the whole person looked up to the sky to the end, fell into the muddy water, and the countless corpses before, his eyes quickly lost their luster and turned into the look of a dead fish soaked in water.

This round of artillery fire would have made Annan's soldiers shake very much. Morale has plummeted.

After all, the people of Annam themselves are good at using firearms, so they naturally know the power of these firearms.

Immediately afterwards, I don't know who said, "Marquis Ding is dead." This blow to Annan's morale was even more fatal, after all, most of the soldiers in this army who could fight were Ding Lie's old subordinates.

Ding Lie's prestige can still be better than Li Sicheng in this army, otherwise why would Ding Lie and Ruan Chi overthrow the rule of King Yishan.

And Wang Yue may not know what happened to Annan's army, but he can see that this is a good time to fight back.

With an order, let Jiang Cheng take his only remaining elite soldiers and kill them out of the gap.

Suddenly, like mercury, the momentum was like a bamboo, and the Annan army actually collapsed, and Wang Yue couldn't care about anything else for a while, and smashed all the soldiers and horses in his hand into it.

An ancient brain drove Annan's army back for more than ten miles. Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.
