Chapter 44 Under the Pingxiang City

At this moment, almost everyone saw the smoke and dust from the north rising into the sky.

This smoke and dust is not an infantry march, and the dust is so high that it almost rushes into the sky. Whether it is Ruan Shihui in the Annan Army, or Li Chengdu in Pingxiang City, I have not seen it.

Li Cheng is a small toast, even according to the power in his hands, it is not as good as a thousand households in a thousand households. Although he is fifty or sixty years old, he has never been out of the small place of Pingxiang much. How can you see the scene of the cavalry assault of the brigade.

Ruan Shihui is the son of a high-ranking official, and his father is the new Kaifu Yitong Sansi of Annan, an officer of Pingzhang, Taifu, and the county marquis Ruan Chi.

That is, the governor of the army of Annam opposite Pingxiang.

And another minister, Ding Lie, who participated in the coup, led his troops to confront the Yunnan side at this moment.

Ruan Shihui can lead the troops here, Ruan Chi's mind is estimated to be not much different from Mao Sheng.

It's just that Ruan Shihui has also fought a few battles, but on the whole, he may not be as good as Mao Rui.

At this moment, he was rushing to command, but it was too late.

It takes time to dispatch troops.

He only had time to close the camp gates.

But if you just think that closing the gates is enough. It's too underestimated to be the elite of the Ming cavalry.

However, seeing that the Ming cavalry was like flowing water around both sides of the Annan military camp, and the speed did not decrease, they swept the outside of the military camp, transported a large number of grain outside, cut firewood, and the Annan soldiers were killed by the Ming cavalry under the horse's hooves.

It's all piggybacking, though.

Mao Rui observed more of the situation in the Annan army, their camp layout, and even the reaction of the army.

But when he saw it, his heart was overjoyed.

Although there are many innovations in the Annan army, they are still basically the routines of the Ming army, but there are more firearms. How to attack in the face of firearms that are on standby. Mao Rui is a little bottomless.

Without him, in the previous wars, I was superior in Daming firearms, and it is rare to see such a large number of enemy troops equipped with firearms.

However, Mao Rui will not fight, but step up the attack.

Without him, the Annan army is extremely chaotic at the moment, groups of soldiers are hurriedly boarding the camp to defend, and more Annan troops are still in chaos.

It is estimated that after a while, the chaos in the Annan army will subside, and it will be even more difficult to attack.

Mao Rui pointed to an Annan village gate and said, "Old Thirteen, open it for me." ”

One of the generals shouted loudly, "Yes." ”

This general is a member of the Mao family, the same generation as Mao Rui, line thirteen, and rushed over with his headquarters without saying a word.

However, before the cavalry rushed to the camp of Annan, two ropes suddenly flew out and were put on top of the rejection horse, and the two horses flew left and right, overturning the rejection horse one after another.

Immediately another group of cavalry rushed forward, and the arrows rained down, and each cavalry approached the camp to shoot arrows, and without saying a word, shot most of the pots of arrows in one breath.

This is one of the advantages of bows and arrows over firearms.

That is, the ability of the bow and arrow to suppress instantly, but it cannot be compared with the fire.

There were already guns in the Annam army that began to counterattack, but soon the rain of arrows was suppressed.

It's just that this kind of arrow rain can't last long, without him, bows and arrows are all with arm strength, every Ming soldier is a person, not a machine, after such a dense archery, I'm afraid that after most of the day, I can't shoot arrows.

But about a minute or two of suppression was enough for the Ming army to succeed.

But I saw more than a dozen cavalry rushing forward, and an iron hook was thrown up violently, which happened to hang on the wooden pillar of the gate of the Annan camp, and a rope was pulled by dozens of cavalrymen, and it was forced backwards in an instant.

The vigorous force of more than ten horsepower suddenly loosened the gate in the Annan army, and a doorpost flew out, and the gate naturally roared to the end.

Without waiting for Mao Rui to speak, Mao Thirteen left the rope in his hand and shouted, "Kill." ”

Immediately threw himself into the Annan military camp.

It's just that he hasn't rushed in a few steps, and the whole person has fallen into the ground with people and horses, which is a trap.

Mao Rui's eyes twitched slightly, but he tried not to look at him, he took the lead and rushed in through the door.

What happened to Mao 13 made Mao Rui understand that the Annan army should not be underestimated. Even if you enter the camp, it may not be the end of the war, or even the beginning of the war.

When Mao Rui led the team to attack, on the walls on both sides of the Annan army, large and small firearms began to fire, but they couldn't stop Mao Rui's charge.

When Mao Rui rushed into the Annan military camp, he immediately ordered the troops to divide the road and kill into the Annan military camp.

At this moment, he peeked at Mao Thirteen in the trap, but saw that in the trap, there were many human-height bamboo sticks standing upside down.

It's no longer alive.

All Mao Rui could do was take a look, and nothing else could be done.

Because the battle will go on.

Ruan Shihui was very annoyed at this moment, but there was nothing he could do, because although the Ming army broke into the camp, the command system in the Annan army was already chaotic.

Fall into the point of fighting on their own.

Even the Ming army deliberately opened a passage so that Annan's soldiers could escape.

But maybe the soldiers below don't understand, but how can Ruan Shihui not understand what it would be like to flee in front of the cavalry?

How can two legs run more than four legs?

He gritted his teeth and said: "Hold my banner and set up the camp gate, pass the order, I have already issued an order, and anyone who returns to Jiling Pass without my military order will be killed." ”

Jiling Pass can be said to be Zhennan Pass, or it can be said that it is not.

Jiling Pass is the ancient name of Zhennan Pass, after the Annan Army recaptured Zhennan Pass, it was impossible for him to call Zhennan Pass, without him, this name was not too friendly to Annan.

In the place south of Zhennan Pass, Annan also established a checkpoint to resist the northern soldiers and horses, also called Jiling Pass, which is far away from Zhennan Pass.

For a time, there were people in the Annam army shouting this order.

Annan, who was on the verge of collapse, suddenly stopped the collapse.

They all know what kind of person their top boss is, and what kind of relationship he has with the commander in the rear army.

What will happen to them if they flee without permission?

I can only grit my teeth and keep fighting.

In this way, the Ming army felt the pressure.

It's just the pressure.

The Ming army's choice of cavalry has always been to keep improving, and with the increase of horses in the Ming army, although there is a little relaxation, Mao Sheng's command will never relax.

It's like the source of the family system, when the army as a whole is not down, the generals tend to build one or two elite armies in order to reach the point of final decision.

The strength of the Ming army in the south was far inferior to that of the border army and the Beijing camp.

Because of this, Mao Sheng's requirements for the cavalry under his command are more stringent, and the so-called elite cavalry will definitely not become soft-footed shrimp when they get off the horse.

The morale of the Ming army was high, and seeing that the cavalry was not too convenient under the complex terrain of the camp, they dismounted and fought on foot, but there were still half of the cavalry, rushing back and forth along the road of the camp, dividing the Annan army into several large pieces, so that they could not be linked.

The Annan army was under the city of Pingxiang and did not have many troops. However, it also exceeded the cavalry of the Ming army by 5,000 people, and now it was divided and suppressed by a small army.

However, under the organization of Ruan Shihui, he counterattacked several times with his own men, especially there was an army in Ruan Shihui's army, which was not many in number, it seemed to have a thousand people, but it was much more elite than other armies.

All of these people have a characteristic: they all wear red hats.

This is also the biggest difference between the Ming army and the Annam army.

The cavalry of the Ming army generally had armor and helmets, of course, after the division of labor system was perfected, the productivity increased greatly, coupled with the establishment of the Zunhua Iron Factory, so that the Ming soldiers were rarely lacking in cold weapons.

It's just that most of the cavalry of the Ming army are cuirasses, which is also a lesson in the battle of Yanran Mountain, and the whole body of iron armor may not be a complete advantage in cavalry battles.

Compared with the Annan Army, it is much simpler.

If there is no iron armor, it is also fake, but the climatic conditions of Annan make the iron easy to rust, so the equipment rate is not high, more cloth clothes, or some rattan armor and the like, as for the helmet, they are wearing hats, so from Pingxiang City, it is a large area of hats and armor battles.

And this red hat is very conspicuous.
