Chapter 110: Crushing

Half of the elite of a thousand cavalry were killed and wounded in less than a minute, and such a loss was not something that Anki could bear.

Guizhou is close to Yunnan and is not short of horses, but the Yunnan horses are short, and there are not many of them who can make war horses.

In order to form this cavalry, Anji really put a lot of thought into it, but against this army that couldn't figure out the details, half of it was wiped out in a few minutes.

During the night attack, there was a night attack, which made Anji also begin to suspect the cause of the riot in the city.

The soldiers are not tired of cheating, and Anji does not dare to gamble with thousands of elites to accompany him, so he has to retreat first and then make plans.

The sound of gold sounded, and the fear of the Ming army urged the rebels to retreat quickly.

The rebels who attacked the city wall were soon forced to retreat after Wang Ji led people to kill.

The rebels who attacked the city were also fierce, and under the desperate resistance of the defenders, they had opened the gates of the inner city.

Fortunately, the gates of Guiyang City were all built with Weng City, and when the inner city was opened and then the outer city gate was captured, the new army was killed.

The rebels, lacking follow-up reinforcements, were quickly killed and retreated by the defenders.

Seeing the rebels retreat, the new army did not pursue or enter the city, and after sending a signal soldier to contact the city, they set up a simple camp outside the east gate.

At this time, Wang Yan had already arrived at the east gate, and immediately overjoyed when he saw the signal soldiers of the new army.

Reinforcements arrived, and Guiyang was saved.

It's just a pity that Ruchin is gone, if the reinforcements had arrived a quarter of an hour earlier, he should not have died.

But if it weren't for Lu Qin's reckless killing, Guiyang City would probably not have been able to survive the arrival of reinforcements and be breached.

And Wang Yan was also quite dissatisfied with Lu Qin's attack before his death, but fortunately, Guiyang City was not broken, and Lu Qin's attack naturally lost its basis.

After the rebels retreated, they did not give up monitoring the army, and overnight, several waves of rangers approached to investigate, but without exception, they were frightened away by the sound of distant gunfire.

When the morning sun shines in the east, the fire in the city has been extinguished, and the rebels in the distance can finally see the whole picture of this army.

A team of more than 1,000 people, without swords, guns and armor, but everyone carried a bird gun on their backs, just from the appearance, it is difficult to imagine that thousands of rebel elites will be repelled by this thousand people.

On the outskirts of the camp, the rebels were even more surprised, with circles of barbed wire blocking the perimeter of the camp, and on the ground outside the barbed wire, there were some pointed iron tools that shimmered with metal.

Toast lacks iron, and many people have never used an iron pot for cooking, and pottery is used for cooking.

At this time, watching this army throw iron weapons on the ground as a fortification, they were all unconsciously stunned.

In the eyes of Tusi Fanmin, the iron cannon of the general in Guiyang City was already extravagant enough, and this army was even more so, even throwing a lot of iron weapons on the ground.

Seeing the rebel rangers pointing at his side, Gu Yanwu, as the acting head of the regiment, was unimpressed.

The barbed wire and thistles sprinkled around the camp by the new army during their camp had already caused quite a stir on the march, and it was not surprising that they were watching the rebels at this time.

After opening the iron lunch box, taking out the emergency rations they had brought with them, and a spoonful of salty and fragrant cured meat, the soldiers of the New Army could not wait to eat after a long night of trekking and fierce fighting.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the rebel camp, the generals did not have such a good mood as the Ming army.

An Bangyan and Yu Chongming already knew about last night's battle, but they didn't think much of Anji's reaction on the battlefield.

There were more than 1,000 reinforcements, and thousands of rebel elites were killed back with birds, and An Bangyan and Hao Chongming couldn't believe it.

Last night, it was the best time to break the city, but it didn't work out but was disturbed by the sudden reinforcements, how could An Bangyan swallow this breath.

After dealing with the officers and soldiers for many years, they naturally know what kind of virtue the officers and soldiers are, and it would be forgivable if 10,000 officers and soldiers came to help fight like this, but now they have been beaten by a mere 1,000 officers and soldiers with bird guns, and An Bangyan can't accept it.

In the morning, as soon as it was dawn, An Bangyan summoned the people to discuss the affairs in the tent, and the scouts sent out were also in waves.

Now, although the details of this wave of officers and troops have not yet been figured out, the number of weapons is clear.

At present, the total number of officers and troops is only more than 3,000 people, some of them are under Guiyang City, and some of them are camped in Changpoling in the north of Guiyang City.

And the weapons are relatively new, they are all birds, and the staff analysis of Kunihiko should be one of the Shenji battalions in Beijing.

Since An Bangyan's uprising, there have also been some Han people who boast of being talented in Zaifu, but most of them are low-ranking talents who have repeatedly failed the examination and have resentment against the imperial court.

The Ming Dynasty gave special preferential treatment to scholars, as long as they could win the lift, they were proper people, thousands of acres of fertile land at home, and beautiful wives and concubines left and right, such people would not do the rebellion that would not pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and only those poor and sour talents who repeatedly failed the exam would be desperate and wanted to use their lives to win a wife and son.

The talents recruited by An Bangyan are basically like this, they have no serious skills, and they are a bunch of sour.

Although it is useless, An Bangyan still gave him an official position, there is no way, the rebels are too short of literate people.

Therefore, after the analysis of the Han people in the staff, these sergeants from the north should be the Shenji Battalion in Beijing.

As soon as they heard that it was the army of Jingying, An Bangyan and Hao Chongming were shocked, and they were somewhat acceptable to last night's defeat.

The Ming Emperor's personal guards are naturally stronger than the general army.

So after beating the 20th board of Anji and cutting off the leader of the cavalry, An Bangyan personally raised the army and couldn't wait to meet this Ming army from afar.

However, the rebels have not yet gathered their men, and the Ming army under the city has already begun to move.

To the surprise of the rebels and the defenders in the city, this Ming army did not choose to enter the city, but moved to the north of Guiyang City, as if to join the Ming army in Changpoling.

The soldiers were very fast, and An Bangyan immediately ordered the two battalions in the north of the city to surround them, preparing to cut off the connection between the two Ming armies and destroy them separately.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations, and at the same time that An Bangyan ordered to reach the two battalions in the north of the city, the Ming army had already exchanged fire with the rebels, and it was a one-sided exchange of fire, and the rebels were only beaten as they had last night.

The new army moved too quickly, and it took only three minutes from the rebel reconnaissance to the start of the Ming army's movement to the start of the camp.

Under the nose of the rebel Tanma, the Ming army quickly packed the personal belongings used for camping, put them into a backpack, and then carried them on their shoulders.

There was no mud and water at all, and in less than three minutes, the whole army set off after forming a line.

Before An Bangyan's order reached the rebels in the north of the city, he gave a surprise blow to the unprepared rebels and broke up the rebels in the north of the city again, and this Ming army unit quickly broke away from the encirclement of the rebels and headed for Changpo Ridge in the north of the city.

The lack of cavalry units of the rebels allowed the fast-moving Ming army to once again take advantage of the loophole and jump out of the encirclement before the rebels could close the siege.

The firearms units of the mid-nineteenth century, against slave armies lacking cavalry and long-range heavy firepower, were interspersed with maneuvering as if no one was in a no-man's land when they were not superior in speed and firepower.

And Gu Yanwu also realized the meaning of the word crushing that Zhu Youzhen said.

When Zhu Youzhen gave lectures to these martial arts students, he often popped up some new terms, among which crushing was what Zhu Youzhen often said.

However, the crushing object that Zhu Youzhen often said was the Eastern Invasion.

Zhu Youzhen's original words were: We must transform the 5,000-year-old accumulation of knowledge and culture of our Chinese nation into productive forces, build more guns and cannons, recruit stronger soldiers, and then completely crush those barbarians.
