Chapter 606: The Annan Army is defeated
"Bang Bang Bang"
"Da Da Da"
The blazing bullets greeted the vine armor soldiers who rushed to kill.
"Ahh The bullet pierced through the rattan armor like tofu, tearing the rattan armor on the rattan armor soldier without resistance, and then passing through the body of the Annan Army soldier wearing rattan armor, leaving blood holes one after another.
The rattan soldier who was shot by the bullet fell.
The rattan armor soldiers may be the elite of the elite of the Annan Army, but they are still the same as those ordinary Annan Army soldiers, and they cannot escape the fate of being slaughtered.
A famous vine armor soldier was slaughtered, and he also fell in pieces, unable to get close to the Ming army!
The casualties became more and more serious, and in a matter of moments, the 20,000 vine armor soldiers suffered more than thousands of casualties.
However, in the end, the rattan armor soldiers were the rattan armor soldiers, the trump card in the hands of the king of Annan, although they were shocked by the powerful attack power of the Ming army, and their pupils were extremely frightened, but they did not collapse, and under the roaring orders of the generals, they were still fearless of death.
However, it was all in vain, and there was no escape from being slaughtered.
Soon, thousands of rattan armor soldiers were killed and wounded, more than half of them were killed and wounded in less than half a cup of tea, and more than 10,000 were killed and wounded even those ordinary soldiers of the Annan Army.
Since the beginning of the war, the casualties of the Annan army have been no less than 50,000, and they have been sharply reduced from 140,000 when they left the city to less than 90,000.
In a short period of time, in the face of such terrible casualties, in the face of such a defenseless massacre, the soldiers of the Annan Army were exhausted in horror, and their will to fight plummeted.
Rear of the Annam Army.
Seeing that his army was once again showing signs of rout, King Annan's eyes were still blood-red, but more desperate.
He finally knew why the Ming army was attacking Hanoi with 20,000 people from beginning to end, and he never thought that the Ming army would be so powerful, not only the artillery was powerful, but the musket in his hand was even more powerful, and he couldn't beat it!
He finally knew why the Ming army was able to connect the three major towns in the north such as Laojie and Liangshan in just one day, and with such powerful muskets, the Ming army was indeed invincible.
In front of the Ming army, seeing that the Annan army was beginning to rout on the whole line this time, Zhou Cao raised his eyebrows.
"Order, Da Ming scatters and hunts down!"
At the sound of an order, 15,000 Ming soldiers dispersed into groups of more than a dozen and quickly pursued the defeated Annan army.
"Kill"
Divided into small groups, the Ming army comprehensively pursued the defeated Annan army.
"Bang! Bang! ”
During the pursuit, the Ming soldiers kept shooting and were unstoppable.
"Run!"
By now, the soldiers of the Annan Army no longer had the will to fight, and only wanted to run quickly. The defeat was like a mountain, not only the soldiers fled again, but also the generals, some ran to other places, and some ran to Hanoi City behind them, wanting to run back to the city.
"It's over! It's all over! "King Annan's face was as dead as ashes, and his face was desperate.
"King, the army is defeated, quickly retreat into the city, relying on the city wall, maybe you can stop the Ming army for a while!" There was a general of the Annan army who said to the king of Annan.
Although the king of Annam himself went out of the city to command the battle, he was so close to the city gate that he could turn around and return to the city.
No matter how desperate the king of Annam was, he was the king of the kingdom of Annam, and at such an urgent moment, there were always loyal generals of the Annamite army who fled back to the city with the king of Annam.
The king of Annam quickly fled back to the city, but the soldiers of the Annam army outside the city were not so lucky.
There was only such a large army at the city gate, but there were more than 80,000 soldiers of the defeated Annam army, and it was impossible to quickly pour into the city.
"Plop! Thump! ”
A large number of soldiers of the Annan Army were squeezed into the moat, and some soldiers of the Annan Army took the initiative to jump into the moat, just to get close to the city gate as soon as possible so that they could escape into the city.
The city gate was in chaos, and it was impossible to pour in too many Annan soldiers for a while, but the pursuit of the Ming army followed.
After a Ming soldier who was chasing with a machine gun rushed to within a few dozen meters of the Annan soldiers who were blocked outside the city, he quickly put down the machine gun, pointed the muzzle of the gun at the Annan army soldier and pulled the trigger!
"Da Da" bullet flying!
"Poof! Burst! Burst!! ”
"Ahh Ahh
The bullet pierced the bodies of the soldiers of the Annan Army, killing a large number of soldiers of the Annan Army in an instant.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Other Ming soldiers also pulled triggers, rifles, and machine guns, and continued to slaughter the soldiers of the Annan Army who did not have time to enter the city for a while.
In the face of the massacre, the soldiers of the Annan Army did not have the courage to turn back and fight desperately, and all of them kept desperately squeezing towards the gate of the city, and some of the soldiers of the Annan Army saw that there was no hope of entering the city under the pursuit of the Ming army, and began to flee to other places on both sides.
"Boom"
A part of the Ming army rode on war horses and also came here, and began to chase and kill the soldiers of the Annan Army who fled outward.
"Grenades, still!"
"Boom, boom, boom" Ming soldiers rushed into a distance of twenty or thirty meters, and still carried grenades at the crowd of the Annan army.
The soldiers of the Annam Army crowded under the city were too dense and were killed and injured by grenades!
It was a bloody massacre, the blood mixed into the moat, the water of the moat was stained red, and the land was covered with the blood of the soldiers of the Annam Army who were slaughtered, which was extremely tragic.
However, the slaughter did not stop, and one machine gun fired another bullet.
The soldiers of the Annan Army were killed and wounded even faster than on the battlefield just now.
The speed of the soldiers of the Annan Army who fled into the city from the narrow city gate could not catch up with the speed of the Ming army's massacre, and the speed of the Ming army's massacre was even several times faster, in a moment, nearly 30,000 Annan soldiers were slaughtered, and the Annan soldiers who fled into the city from the city gate were less than 10,000, and there were still more than 40,000 Annan soldiers who were blocked outside the city and faced the massacre of the Ming army.
Under such circumstances, the Ming army could not surrender yet.
When the Annan soldiers outside the city were reduced to less than 20,000, the Ming soldiers began to shout for the surrender of the Annan soldiers under Zhou Cao's orders.
"Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!"
As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, close to the Ming Dynasty, and had been under the direct control of the Central Plains Dynasty for more than a thousand years, there were still many soldiers of the Annan Army who knew Chinese, and immediately some soldiers of the Annan Army trembled and surrendered on their knees.
More and more soldiers of the Annam Army, who had not had time to enter the city, surrendered on their knees.
When two groups of Ming soldiers cut off the city gate from both sides, nearly 20,000 Annam soldiers who not only fled into the city but also fled into the city from outside the city began to surrender on their knees in despair.
It is estimated that nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Annam Army fled into the city.
After collecting the soldiers of the Annam Army who had surrendered outside the city, the Ming army began to attack the city wall and shoot at the soldiers of the Annam Army on the wall.
"Bang bang bang" A large number of soldiers of the Annan Army who dared to show their heads were shot and killed, and for a while, not a single soldier of the Annan Army dared to expose their bodies in the entire city wall, and they were completely suppressed at once.
