Chapter 362: For the Glory of the Lost (2-in-1)

Mo Guanfu rode on a tall horse, looked back at the team that stretched for several kilometers behind him, I don't know why, although he brought tens of thousands of people this time, Mo Guanfu still felt a feeling of panic.

Emperor Nguyen Hui in Guangzhong, originally in the eyes of Mo Guanfu, was like a god in the sky, he crisscrossed Annam, whether it was North Zheng Nanruan, Siam, Zhenla, all of them were wiped out by Emperor Guangzhong like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

Mo Guanfu saw that Ruan Hui had the qualifications to unify Annan and become the Emperor of Tiannan, so he followed Chen Tianbao's advice and came to Tuopai to join Ruan Hui.

The follow-up development actually confirmed Mo Guanfu's conjecture, the Guangzhong Emperor not only beat the kings and lords around Annan, but even the elite of the green camp from the Qing Dynasty was overturned.

It's just that no one thought that overturning the Qing Green Camp would be the pinnacle of the Emperor of Guangzhong, and it would also be the last scenery.

After all the dragons were taken, Emperor Guangzhong then suffered a fiasco, 80,000 elite Xishan troops, and only more than 10,000 people were beaten in just four days, and Emperor Guangzhong even lost his own queen of the right palace.

And after this fiasco, the last fiasco in Binh Thuan Fu Fenshui Liang was also poked out, in that battle, the emperor's 30,000 troops attacked Ye Dawang's 6,000 men, and also suffered a heavy defeat, and even his general Wu Wenyong surrendered to the enemy.

Mo Guan raised his head to the sky and sighed, he had no choice, He Xiwen's dog thing turned out to be the righteous brother of King Ye, and now he is the guard of Pingshun Mansion.

When He Xiwen was begging for food under his command back then, Mo Guanfu had a lot of enmity with him, didn't he just want his sister to be a concubine, as for it?

Looking back at the pirate leaders under his command, Wu Shier, Liang Wengeng, Feng Liangui, these guys still have a way out, and if they can't fight, they may surrender to King Ye, but he can't.

Not to mention what will happen to He Xiwen, he Mo Guanfu is now the king of the East China Sea recognized by the Xishan Dynasty, what can he get if he surrenders Ye Kai? A Marquis of the East China Sea is enough to choke, right?

To be a dog that even the Hou Ye is likely to be unable to mix, can it be compared to being a king of the East China Sea who commanded tens of thousands of pirates and thousands of warships in the Xishan Dynasty?

That's it! In case this still can't defeat King Ye, then take people to hide in thousands of miles of Changsha and thousands of miles of stone ponds, and if it is not good, go back to the cave base, follow the slang people to the mountains, and become a mountain king!

Mo Guanfu was pessimistic and thinking about the way back, and Zhang Wenduo, the commander of the Quy Nhon Nguyen army, was even more uneasy in his heart.

Zhang Wenduo has a deep relationship with the three Ruan brothers of the Xishan Dynasty, and his father Zhang Wenwen is the teacher of Hu Pifu, the father of the three brothers Ruan Yue, Ruan Hui, and Ruan Lu.

Zhang Wenduo grew up with the three Ruan brothers since he was a child, and Ruan Yue dared to come out to create a rebellion against Nan Ruan, which was instigated by Zhang Wenduo.

Therefore, he is not only familiar with Ruan Yue, but also with Ruan Hui, the proud son of the three Ruan brothers.

Although from the perspective of Confucian ethics and morality, Zhang Wenduo is only willing to be loyal to Ruan Yue, but this does not prevent him from appreciating Ruan Hui's ability, in his heart, the one who can unify the land of Tiannan will inevitably be Ruan Hui.

It's just that the reality soon stunned him, and in his eyes, Ruan Hui, who was inferior to the famous generals of the ancient times, was defeated by Nan Ruan's son-in-law Ye Kai many times in a row.

Sometimes he thinks, what kind of hero should he be if he can beat Ruan Hui like this?

So in fact, Zhang Wenduo did not agree with Ruan Yue to send troops to the north, Ruan Huidu was helpless, what could these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses do in Quy Nhon? It is better to live a good life in Quy Nhon for a few years.

But this time, Ruan Hui personally sent the crown prince Ruan Guangzan to the south to persuade him, and Ruan Lu, the king of Dongding, took Ruan Yue's hand when he was dying, crying and persuading Ruan Yue to be brothers of the same heart.

Therefore, since being defeated by Ruan Hui, Ruan Yue, who has only wanted to live a rich life, smashed the pot and sold iron to raise 30,000 troops, and let Zhang Wenduo take him north.

Longjaw Bridge, Ejiang River is going to be called Majiang here, there is a small hill called Longshou Hill by the Yue people in the west of Longjaw Bridge.

Longshou Hill is backed by the Majiang River, with endless plains in front and continuous hills at the end, and the line of sight is extremely wide.

After Mo Guanfu and Zhang Wenduo discussed, they stopped the army here for a temporary rest.

When you get to Majiang, you basically can't go by big boat, and you have to walk on your feet for a few kilometers around Yonglu County.

In ancient times, marching was not an easy task, because there was no timely communication equipment, if the front and rear were not properly arranged, the more than 60,000 disciplines were not very good troops, and it was very likely that they could be in chaos after walking two or three miles.

Therefore, it must be repaired here and arranged before we can continue to move forward, and now it is time to eat the morning food, and if we are not full, the soldiers under our command will not be willing to continue walking.

Bury the pot to make rice, cooking smoke curling, the South China pirates who don't know the rules and Quy Nhon Nguyen Jun are fighting for each other, and at the beginning, the quartermaster who distributed rice and grain could still control one or two, but then it was completely chaotic.

Some camp leaders carried white rice and fresh meat with high spirits, and some camp leaders dragged some beans in burlap bags with blue noses and swollen faces, and walked back with hatred.

There are still people behind who are still looking for a place to camp and even on the road, and the first to arrive in front has already set up all the pots.

If you want to cook, there is it by the river, and you have to go far to find firewood, and each camp head has sent people to collect firewood, and they are busy like ants moving.

A few scouts who were gnawing on dry food scolded and went to the sentinels, and the entire Longjaw Bridge did not look like an army coming to fight, but like a very large-scale spring outing.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Mo Guanfu, who was holding a leg of lamb and gnawing on it, suddenly stood up!

At the end of the plain directly opposite the Dragon's Jaw Bridge, the pirates and Quy Nhon Nguyen troops who had gone there to collect firewood fled like termites that had lost their nests.

In the hills where firewood was fetched, drums sounded, and a group of troops wearing dark green military uniforms and strange hats stepped on the drums and appeared in a phalanx.

Although they were lined up in a phalanx, they marched very fast, and when the sun had just risen, the bayonet inserted in the spear reflected a dazzling light, and from a distance, it looked like a group of walking light.

Behind this phalanx, more troops appeared, wearing white or blue Western-style military uniforms, holding flintlock pistols in their hands, and pulling a lot of bronze cannons behind them.

"Tang Kou is here! Tang Kou is here! Many Quy Nhon Ruan Jun, who had heard of King Ye's name, ran to their camp crying wolves, and Mo Guanfu, who understood Annan, grinned.

The title of Tang Kou was originally called by the South China Sea Pirates, because they often harassed and robbed these Annan people, and the Annan people had no choice but to call them Tang Kou with hatred.

Kou, it's not a good word, but at this moment, in Mo Guanfu's ears, he even heard a bit of glory!

A small pirate leader named Big Guy beside him puffed up his chest proudly and looked around at the wolf-rushing Annamite.

Mo Guanfu, who was angry, smashed a leg of mutton on the shoulder of the big guy.

"What else to see, hurry up and go fucking to the whole team and distribute gunpowder lead!"

Gunpowder is a valuable thing for the South China pirates, and it is generally not issued to the firecrackers below, but is kept by various small bosses.

It is not easy to keep gunpowder on the sea, if it is directly issued to the pirate firecrackers below, there is a chance that it will turn damp, or they will quietly sell it for wine!

"Cannons! Cannons! set up our cannons! The firecracker gave Lao Tzu the front row, those with armor were in the first column, and those without armor were in the second column!

The hand-to-hand combat soldiers with shuttle darts, rattan cards, and broadswords are all ready for Lao Tzu, and when they are finished, they will be charged to Lao Tzu, and each leader restricts the brothers in his headquarters, and he cannot attack without an order! ”

Mo Guanfu scolded and roared everywhere, the South China pirates' fighting style was simple and rude, just like the Bugis people in Nanyang, they all fired at most two guns at the enemy, and then rushed up to fight hand-to-hand.

It's just that they have a lot more than the Bugis, and I don't know where to find the Ming Dynasty-style tiger squat cannon and other small cannons, and the firepower is much stronger.

Compared with these chaotic pirates, the Quy Nhon Nguyen army was a little more disciplined, Zhang Wen sent a few more flags, and the Quy Nhon Nguyen army lined up in formation according to the formation.

is also the firecracker in front, the hand-to-hand combat soldier in the back, and the armor rate is also much higher, and it looks like that!

Ye Kai raised his binoculars and looked carefully, the enemy troops on the side of the Longjaw Bridge in the distance were divided into two distinct groups, and those who were lined up against Longshou Hill should be the South China pirates.

They were dressed in armor of various colors and styles, and they were shouting and scolding, and some of them who looked like they were in a tight formation, and they were uniformly dressed in blue, red, or green armor.

And the army with their backs to Ma Jiang, most of them wearing orange turbans or iron helmets, and wearing various armors such as armor, should be the Xishan Army under Nguyen Yue from Quy Nhon.

Judging from the firepower of both sides, the proportion of firearms held by the Quy Nhon Nguyen army was higher than that of the Tay Son army, but they lacked artillery, of course, perhaps those that were difficult to carry, and they were still on the way behind.

Although the South China pirates look like a group of rabble, there are a lot of large and small artillery, and although the proportion of firearms is low, the hand-to-hand soldiers in the back row look quite strong.

And Ye Kai knew that the combat effectiveness of the Hua Nan pirates was much better than that of the Quy Nhon Nguyen army, which looked more decent.

These guys in history, but even the British and Dutch can't even drive battleships.

Even after 1840, British naval officers were often attacked and killed by pirates on the island of Hong Kong they occupied.

These guys look like rookies, but they are not rookies, but they are fierce.

After thinking about it for two seconds, Ye Kai made a decision, the 60,000 people on the opposite side looked like they were coming together, but in fact they were still two groups, Ye Kai could choose to attack one side and then watch the other side.

The attacked side will call for help with all their might, but the party that is not attacked will not necessarily fight for the other party!

The Quy Nhon Nguyen army had few artillery, and Nguyen Hue had proven that their combat effectiveness was not too high, so it was a very good target.

"Pass my order, the Young Guards and Tran Van Ki immediately go to attack Quy Nhon Nguyen Army, Nguyen Van Xun, Hoang Phong Ngai and Hoang Quang Yi are responsible for blocking the rescue of the Hua Nan pirates!"

Ye Kai immediately ordered the surprise attack on the troops of Mo Guan Fu and Quy Nhon Nguyen army that he brought this time, totaling about 14,000 people.

The real main force is only Chen Wenqi's regiment and the Young Guards of more than 1,000 people, but the combat effectiveness of these two armies is very good.

As soon as Ye Kai moved here, Zhang Wenduo, the commander of the Quy Nhon Nguyen Army, who commanded the army to line up against the water, felt that something was wrong, and Tang Kou on the opposite side obviously wanted to take him as the main target!

This will make him feel that he is a little far away from the South China pirates, if they are two armies with one heart, such a distance is just right, and they can fight more with less, and form a left and right flanking attack on the attacking Tang Kou.

But if two armies were put together temporarily, it was likely that they would not be flanking others left and right, but would be broken by others.

Mo Guanfu on Longshou Hill also discovered this situation, he pressed Liang Wengeng's shoulder beside him, lowered his voice and said.

"You go and take your headquarters and my two thousand musketeers, and approach the Annam people on the opposite side from the right, I will lead the army to attack head-on, go quickly, the Annamite people over there don't have many cannons, we can't let them be defeated!"

Compared with Mai Youjin and Feng Liangui, Liang Wengeng can barely be regarded as someone who Mo Guanfu can trust, and the combat effectiveness of his own people is also okay.

Seeing that Liang Wengeng hurriedly went down to arrange, Mo Guanfu hurriedly let the drummer next to him beat the big drum, and a cyan and red flag was raised, which was a signal to ask Mai Youjin and Feng Liangui to attack.

The South China pirates here have just started to move, and the earth-shattering cannon sound over there sounds, and Conrad commanded his artillery to slash at the Quy Nhon Nguyen army by the river!

More than 20 three-pounder guns and six nine-pounder cannons hit fast and fiercely, and after a round of artillery bombardment, the two phalanxes in front of Quy Nhon Nguyen's army were chaotic, and the cry of ghosts and wolves sounded violently.

"Quick, shoot back!" Zhang Wenduo roared loudly, and more than a dozen cannons of the Xishan Ruan army also opened fire.

However, although their artillery was also a special field gun purchased from the Dutch, the gunner's skills were very limited.

Moreover, they aimed at the 1st rifle regiment composed of the Young Guards, who lived and trained together all year round, and had a deep tacit understanding with each other, and the phalanx moved very fast.

Therefore, the hasty shelling of the Quy Nhon Nguyen army did not cause much damage.

Two hundred and fifty meters later, a brass trumpet sounded, and the young guards who formed a phalanx suddenly dispersed, forming a small phalanx based on about fifteen to twenty people.

For them, who were fully equipped with Fusilier flintlock rifled guns, they did not need to rely on dense phalanxes to ensure firepower.

Their change of formation greatly surprised Zhang Wenduo's expectations, the phalanx was gone, and more than a dozen old-fashioned bronze cannons couldn't hit a few people at all!

The artillerymen of the Quy Nhon Nguyen army could only hurriedly push the artillery cart to bombard the Tran Van Ki regiment that was in formation.

As soon as the artillery moved, the rifled guns in the hands of the young guards were fired, a full 1,100 flintlock pistols, and 1,100 qualified light infantry, which can be regarded as a complete main force in the current European battlefield, and the lethality is even more terrifying!

As soon as the first round of shooting was over, the three odds placed in front of Quy Nhon Nguyen Jun were suddenly like peeled onions, and they instantly felt thinner.

Zhang Wenduo only felt a chill on the back of his neck, and then he remembered that it was said that among the Tang Kou opposite, there was an extremely fierce force of divine weapons.

Before he could give the order, one of the first three odds that Quy Nhon Nguyen troops were standing and being beaten exploded with a buzz, and hundreds of frightened soldiers turned their heads and ran.

"Escape, slash!"

A Zhang Wenduo's own soldier, galloping from behind, the handcuff in his hand flashed, and Ruan Jun, who took the lead in escaping, was mercilessly knocked to the ground.

The person next to him was in charge of this strange way, and his face suddenly darkened.

"Tang Kou is sharp, please allow me to attack!"

The herald's own soldiers didn't even look at him, but opened their throats and shouted.

"The marshal has an order, the soldiers of the front, rear, and left roads will attack immediately, commanded by General Zhang Dao, and be sure to defeat Tang Kou in front of him!"

"The last general obeys!" Next to the black-faced road, a short and stout roadway flashed, and he half-knelt down and shouted his orders.

。。。。。

The rumbling cannon sounded, and there were constantly shells bombarding not far from Chen Wenqi, and even a cannonball flew over Chen Wenqi's head.

But Chen Wenqi turned a deaf ear, and he looked at the soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Third Division, who were also as immobile as him.

The core soldiers of this regiment are all relatives of Chen Wenqi, or other family members who are related to his Changfang Chen family by marriage.

It is a relationship with Chen Wenqi that is both prosperous and lossy, Chen Wenqi can climb high, and they will have more benefits, and vice versa.

"Uncles, brothers and nephews, don't say anything, in the past two years, I have harmed you, and you have been mixed from the elite third company of the revival army to the current situation.

But today, the chief is behind us, and we finally have a chance to be ashamed, everyone listens to my orders, and puts the Yue people on the opposite side closer before fighting.

I personally went to the first row, in case I died, the third one, you will continue to command, the third one is killed, the seventh uncle, you pick up!

Unless our Chen family is all dead, we will never stop if we don't defeat the Yue people on the other side, for the sake of the third company! Chen Wenqi yelled with a dark face.

"For the third company!" Everyone followed Chen Wenqi and shouted through gritted teeth.
