Chapter 259: Nguyen Hui is here
Dangerous!
Ye Kai, who was standing on the hillside, became nervous, Chen Wenqi's first and second companies of the third battalion only had more than 300 people, and they were close to more than 1,000 people at once, and the other party was still a special hand-to-hand combat soldier!
Although the two platoons of guns in Chen Wenqi's battalion brought down a hundred people from the other side, the number of the Xishan Army was still more than twice as many as theirs.
What's even more dangerous is that seeing that some people have already entered a state of hand-to-hand combat, the small red flag on a war elephant in the distance shook violently, and the hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the Xishan Army in the three phalanxes of about 11,200 also began to rush towards Chen Wenqi's side, in order to expand the results of the battle.
"Conrad! Hurry up! Ye Kai waved his hand, and Ah Shan roared hoarsely, and at the same time waved the pennant in his hand.
Austrian artillery ensign, bearded Conrad hurried over to the adjusted angle of the cannon, and more than a dozen 3-pounder and 6-pounder guns shot orange-red flames.
A high-speed bouncing cannonball violently penetrated the Xishan Army team that rushed over, and immediately ploughed out a bloody path, and the first few people didn't even scream, and it directly became a blood mist!
Although the soil in the jungle by the river is not hard, the solid bullets fired by the 6-pounder cannon are so powerful that as long as they are next to each other, even a little rubbing will break tendons.
More than a dozen cannons took away dozens of lives at once, of course, this is also related to the fact that the Xishan Army charged too densely.
"The second company will follow me, and the first company will defend against the enemy!"
Without waiting for Ye Kai to mobilize, Huang Laosi, who had a keen sense of smell on the battlefield, took his first company and quickly approached Chen Wenqi, who had already started a melee with the Xishan Army.
I have to say that this ruffian who evolved from the Tanjia fishermen really has two hits.
Although his fourth battalion was inferior to Chen Wenqi's third battalion in terms of discipline, it was more courageous!
And one thing that he is more successful than Chen Wenqi is that his soldiers are more convinced of Huang Laosi and are willing to fight with him!
Those who are soldiers actually prefer to follow officials like Huang Laosi, who are simple, rude, full of swearing, and do not twist and turn.
His first company is the elite with the most courage and the most experience in hand-to-hand combat personally selected by Huang Laosi.
They didn't directly join the melee of Chen Wenqi's battalion, but quickly drove to the front of Chen Wenqi's camp and covered them.
"Boom!" Hundreds of soldiers of the Xishan Army rushed over through the artillery fire, and before they could gain a firm foothold, they were beaten by Huang Laosi and their platoon of guns.
More than 70 flintlock pistols were put down at once, and there was no time to reload after the salvo was completed, Huang Laosi roared angrily, and rushed directly with the first company.
Just after being bombarded, and then another platoon of guns, there were almost four or five hundred people in the Xishan army who successfully rushed to this side, although the number was more than Huang Laosi and them, but the courage was lost!
Moreover, they found that these musketeers with flintlock pistols were even more fierce in hand-to-hand combat than those with broadswords, and after twenty or thirty people fell, the soldiers of the Xishan Army, who had finally rushed over, retreated one after another.
As soon as they retreated, the soldiers of the Xishan Army who were entangled with Chen Wenqi's camp here began to waver, when they came, there were 11,200 people, and now there are at most a little more than 800 left, and more than 300 casualties, which is basically the limit of what they can bear!
I don't know who took the lead, but the crowd involuntarily began to retreat and slowly lean towards the river.
"Bang! Syllable! Syllable! The piercing sound of the gong sounded, and the soldiers of the Xishan Army, who had already begun to retreat, were amnesty, and their forward team began to charge in reverse, and after losing more than seventy or eighty people, the rest of the people retreated to the other side in embarrassment!
It's so dangerous, seeing that it is stable, Ye Kai on the hillside has a chance to wipe the cold sweat on his head!
Damn, Chen Wenqi's camp was almost defeated, Ruan Hui is about to die, is the Xishan Army still so fierce?
"Ah Shan, you go and inform the second regiment, Chonghan, you go and inform the third regiment, and let them quickly move closer to me!"
Ye Kai thought for a while, and immediately made a decision, the Xishan army on the opposite side lost five or six hundred people, and it is estimated that the second wave of attacks will not be launched immediately, and it is very likely that they will jump soft persimmons and attack the rear army of Li Wenyun, which is not far from Ye Kai.
But he can't care about anything else now, he must ensure his safety first, and he doesn't know how many people there are in the Xishan Army on the opposite side, and he doesn't know who is coming, so holding on is the best choice.
Sure enough, after Ye Kai began to shrink his team, the actions of the Xishan Army on the opposite side also confirmed Ye Kai's judgment.
With a few drums, almost 3,000 soldiers of the Xishan Army, led by a general wearing a dark green battle robe, drove towards Li Wenyun's headquarters.
The rest of the Xishan Army came out of the jungle and began to assemble in an orderly manner.
A man riding a horse and wearing a red cloak, wearing pale silver fish scale armor, a phoenix-winged helmet, and a blue python robe inside, looked like a big man, and appeared by the river.
Suddenly, the cheers of the mountains and the tsunami rang out!
"By Hammonay, by Hamonay!"
Almost 20,000 soldiers of the Xishan Army appeared by this narrow river, and with cheers, they waved flags with Chinese characters such as Ruan, Chen, and Wu in their hands, and their morale was high!
Ye Kai's face became solemn all of a sudden, because he could understand most of the Vietnamese, so he knew that what the soldiers of the Xishan Army on the opposite side were shouting was, Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!
Who is Your Majesty? Central Emperor Ruan Yue was severely repaired by Ruan Hui last month, when Ye Kai and Ruan Fuying ran away from Sattahip.
Ruan Yue leaned on the city tower and begged Ruan Hui, "Cook meat in a leather pot, how can my brother bear it?" "And he escaped with his life, and now he is living in Quy Nhon City, he will not appear here at all, and he does not have such a high prestige.
Then who is this person who is called His Majesty by the Xishan Army?
It can only be the emperor who is like the emperor, and he is about to be called the emperor Ruan Hui!
But? Didn't Ruan Fuying say that he got the exact news, Ruan Hui was angry with Ruan Yue, and time was running out?
How did he end up here?
Is it a conspiracy?
Could it be that Ruan Hui pretended to release the news that she was seriously ill just to seduce Ruan Phuc Ying to return to China?
Oops!
Ye Kai smashed a heavy fist in the palm of his hand, he was too careless, in history, Ruan Hui would not have fought a Qingyue War with the Qing Dynasty next year!
He threw away his armor and unloaded his armor from Sun Shiyi, the governor of Liangguang, and even Xu Shiheng, the governor of Guangxi, Zhang Chaolong, the chief soldier of Nanao, Fujian, and Shang Weisheng, the chief soldier of Youjiang in Guangxi, all of them were killed in battle!
If Ruan Hui is seriously ill and about to die now, how can he have the ability to do such a ruthless job of the Manchu Qing and make the Chief of the Ten Perfections lose face?
The whining horn sounded, and the Xishan army, which had completed the whole army, galloped out, and the cavalry on horseback held a white flag in his hand, and the flag had a big 'make' word written on it, and drove towards Ye Kai's side.
The current situation is suspected to be the leader of Nguyen Hue, with almost 20,000 troops lined up on the west bank of the river.
