684 won?
"Woo Woo ......"
The smoke of gunpowder filled again, and the warriors of the Kunda Department turned over and fell to the ground one by one, but it was only a moment of effort, and only a few people were still standing in front of the Ming army's position. Moreover, the warriors of the Kunda tribe who could still stand were full of horror on their faces.
The other Kunda soldiers who followed behind all stood still, looking at the corpses that had fallen to the ground in front of them in panic, and no one was screaming anymore, they looked at each other, and many of them had the intention of retreating.
At the head of Ava City, everyone watched all this in a daze. It wasn't until this time that they discovered that the firearms they didn't look up to were so powerful!
Artillery, muskets combined, and the speed of fire is so fast, and the power is so great, how should the flesh and blood face it? Even the war elephants that Donggo is proud of are vulnerable in front of these firearms!
"Roar, roar, roar......"
At this time, I saw rows of Ming soldiers coming out of the smoke of the Ming army.
These soldiers of the Ming army, while roaring rhythmically, strode forward neatly. Every soldier was wrapped in iron from head to toe. And they are all tall, holding long blades with cold light in their hands, which makes the spine chill when they look at it. The way you walk in stride is like a moving steel wall!
Behind these Ming armies, there were other branches of the army. But in front of them, they have all been eclipsed, or rather, everyone's eyes are attracted by these moving steel meat grinders. It wasn't until the Ming cavalry guards on both sides appeared in their field of vision that they reacted, and the Ming army took the initiative to attack.
If it were said that the enemy would be able to take the initiative to attack 15,000 or 30,000 enemies with only 5,000 men and horses, then they would definitely think that this is not a lie, or that the main general has in his brain.
But at this time, when they saw this scene with their own eyes, they found that the attack of the 5,000 Ming army was full of momentum, which made them feel that the Ming army's active attack was so natural. The pressure they felt was as if they were not facing 5,000 Ming troops at all, but 50,000 Ming troops!
The Kunda tribe, which was under the most pressure, couldn't stand still after seeing this scene, let alone continuing to charge. Not one, two, but a group, two groups of people first began to flee backwards, and then after a "bang", there was no one from the Kunda tribe who remained in place.
It was also at this time that the Ming cavalry began to accelerate, and they chased after the defeated pawns of the Kunda Division.
"That's it, that's it, that's it, Your Majesty." Seeing this scene, Tai Tai Tun shouted loudly, "The last time the Ming army beat the last general, it was also like this. Their class coordination is amazing......"
In the past, he explained that the arms of the army cooperated, but no one believed him, and even laughed at him. But at this time, he shouted again, but no one refuted, and they all looked at him with palpitations.
King Long naturally understood that at this time, he suddenly had no confidence in this battle in his heart.
At this time, he looked at the battlefield gloomily and did not say a word.
However, Tai Tai Tun was still there, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you have to find a way quickly, otherwise, the Ming army will drive the Kunda tribe to other tribes, and when the time comes, it will be a big defeat!" ”
Hearing this, King Talong finally turned his head to look at him, and then turned his head again to look out of the city.
Sure enough, they were outside the battlefield and could clearly see the situation on the battlefield. It can be seen that the Ming army is indeed purposefully driving the defeated soldiers of the Kunda tribe to the other two tribes that are plundering for them. Especially the cavalry in the Ming army, it put a lot of pressure on those defeated soldiers, like sheep being chased by wolves, so no matter which direction they ran, they wanted to grow two more legs, just to be able to escape a little farther.
And the two tribes that swept the formation, seeing the Kunda tribe being beaten so badly at close range, had long been frightened, and they dared to confront the imposing Ming army head-on. After all, for them, the Kunda Department is much stronger than them, and the Kunda Department has been beaten so badly, let alone them.
Thinking like this, the defeated soldiers of the Kunda Department had not yet run to their side, and seeing that the Ming army had a tendency to fight this side, some soldiers retreated intentionally or unintentionally.
In the beginning, the situation was hidden. But later, as the defeated soldiers of the Kunda tribe fled closer and closer, and the Ming army chased and killed closer and closer, these two raiding tribes still dared to go up, "bang", and all ran to the side of Ava City.
At the head of Ava City, Taitai swallowed the great urgency, and hurriedly reminded him again: "Your Majesty, if you don't send out war elephants, I'm afraid that the entire army outside the city will be all affected!" ”
"Quick, the war elephant will immediately dispatch to stop the Ming army!" When King Talong heard this, he was also decisive, and immediately turned around and ordered the generals of the guards beside him to lead.
War elephants in armor are not afraid of musket bullets or arrows fired by ordinary bows and arrows, except for powerful artillery.
And the pursuit of the Ming army, the artillery is inconvenient, of course, it is impossible to rush to the front.
And in the camp of the Ming army outside the city, the two tribes who watched the plundering formation were also defeated and crushed, and there was a tendency to attack the Dongwu army outside the city. Zhou Yuji couldn't help but smile and praised: "Cao Dashuai is really a veteran with rich experience and a good fight!" ”
Huang Degong on the side also nodded, and then suddenly turned to Emperor Chongzhen and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the troops to attack and help Cao Dashuai to defeat the Dongwu army outside the city in one fell swoop!" ”
"Your Majesty, the last general will ask for war!" When Zhou Yuji heard this, he was also very excited, and immediately stepped out of the ranks, stood beside Huang Degong, and clenched his fists to Emperor Chongzhen.
In their view, this situation is indeed an opportunity.
However, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "It's not that easy, the Dongwu King in Ava City will definitely find a way." If what I expected, the King of Dongwu would definitely send out the elite in his hands, that is, his army of war elephants. Without artillery assistance, I don't want my soldiers to suffer too many casualties! ”
The war elephants of the Dongwu army have already seen them once when they were in Yunnan.
For those who have never seen an elephant in the north, the elephant is truly a behemoth. Especially if dozens or hundreds of war elephants are rushing together, the momentum is more stressful than the cavalry charge.
Recalling the power of those war elephants in their minds, Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji were a little regretful that they couldn't decide Dongwu in a battle. But think about it, after all, it is to destroy a country, if it is so easy to destroy, this cave will not offend the majesty of the Celestial Empire again!
However, they were also a little strange in their hearts, why did the emperor calculate that King Dongwu would send war elephants?
After seeing war elephants in Yunnan before, they were very interested and understood. I know that I don't know how much I have to eat in a day just because a war elephant is a war elephant, and the price for an elephant to train to become a war elephant is also very high. Yunnan is not without elephants, but the war elephants of Tusi are pitiful, which shows how difficult this war elephant is!
That is, Dongwu's side used the power of a country and recuperated for decades to have the strength to have so many war elephants. That Dongwu King, is he really willing to send war elephants? And can you react so quickly and send war elephants in time?
As they were thinking, they suddenly heard the cries of many elephants. When he heard the sound, he saw the gates of the city of Ava open. One by one, the behemoths were trotting out of the city, and on the back of the war elephant, there were many Dongwu soldiers.
Seeing the appearance of the war elephant troops, the soldiers of the Dongwu tribe outside the city suddenly shouted again, as if their morale was rising again.
In just a few moments, more than 30 war elephants ran out of the city, and there was dust behind them, and there were obviously war elephants out of the city.
After these war elephants left the city, they ran directly to the defeated soldiers who fled to Ava City, no matter which clan they were, those who dared to rush directly were trampled into meat cakes by the war elephants. At the same time, it was obvious that the Dongwu soldiers on the back of the war elephant were shouting something.
Eventually, the defeated Dongwu soldiers seemed to have learned their way, and instead of running down the city, they ran to the sides of the elephant and hid behind the elephant a little bit to regroup.
The war elephants slowly lined up in a line and met the Ming army that was chasing the defeated army. Behind the war elephants was the elite army of the King of Donggo who followed.
"Bell Bell Bell ......"
On the side of the banner of the word "Cao", the sound of gold sounded. The voice is crisp and sharp, and it travels far and wide.
The soldiers of the Ming army who were in pursuit, and even some of the soldiers of the Ming army who were preparing to attack the war elephants, as soon as they heard the sound of gold, no matter what they were doing, they immediately turned around and retreated. There is no delay in the slightest, without the slightest hesitation, which fully reflects the effect of the order and prohibition.
Seeing the Ming army withdraw, Dongwu's war elephant troops did not dare to pursue, but just watched the Ming army return to the camp.
Suddenly, cheers erupted from the side of the Donggo army. They didn't seem to see any corpses on the battlefield, and they were all the corpses of the Kunda tribe and the other two tribes.
The same is true of the city of Ava, as if it had been a great victory. One by one, they became angry, and began to flatter this army of war elephants again, flattering their great king.
When the elephant troops returned, the cheers reached their peak.
For the restoration of morale, King Ta Long nodded with a smile on his face, and after saying a few words of encouragement to morale, he turned around and returned to the palace in the city. At the same time, he also named Tai Tai Tun and asked him to accompany him back.
In a place that others couldn't see, King Ta Long's face suddenly became gloomy, and he was obviously in a bad mood.
In this regard, Tai Tai Tun knew very well, he knew what he wanted to say when King Long asked him, and his brain teaser was quick, so he immediately thought about it.
