Now the North Vietnamese army was still two miles away from the Ming army, that is, one thousand meters, and when they heard the order from behind and began to charge, the North Vietnamese soldiers let out strange screams and spread their feet and ran wildly.

The Ming army still did not hurry to put solid bullets, and after the North Vietnamese army entered 500 meters, Xu Guansan ordered all to replace them with shotguns.

The North Vietnamese army died more than 500 people for the first time under the blow of shotguns, and there was no way, the formation was too dense. Some lead bullets can pierce two or three people.

When entering the 400 meters, the power of the shotgun was revealed, and the soldiers were knocked down, and the elephants behind became the key targets of the shotguns because of their huge size, and several elephants were even beaten into sives.

No army in ancient warfare could withstand a third of casualties without collapsing, and it was already good that the North Vietnamese army could hold out until it reached 400 meters. Xu Guansan estimated that if he was replaced by the Ming army in the north, it would collapse when it was a solid bullet.

The elephant behind couldn't hold on for the first time, and the screams of their companions before their deaths coupled with the loud noise on the opposite side made the remaining five elephants immediately go crazy and turn around and flee one after another, and the elephant slaves on their bodies couldn't give any orders.

The next thing is that the infantry can't hold on, and no one can see their brothers die from time to time, regardless of the continuing charge. The front row of people shouted, turned around and ran away.

Zheng Rong saw the collapse of the team, saw that the general trend had gone, and also joined the fleeing team.

Xu Guansan didn't expect these guys to retreat now, and his musketeers hadn't shot yet. Seeing the enemy scattering and fleeing, Xu Guansan hurriedly ordered: "One company to five companies to attack and advance, and six companies to protect the artillery company." ”

At this time, a small official ran up from behind, and it seemed that he was from the county office. The little official saw Xu Guansan and said: "Battalion Commander Xu, the county magistrate has an order, catch more prisoners, the coal mine needs labor." ”

Xu Guansan scolded in his heart: "Your mother, do you care if you live or die in a war?" But he didn't dare to disobey the order, and he also knew the importance of the Hongji Coal Mine to the King of Chu, so he then ordered: "Pay attention to catch it alive." ”

The next thing is simple, the North Vietnamese soldiers have been frightened, and when they saw the red-clothed demon coming up on the opposite side, they knelt down and surrendered, which made Zhao Hu, who wanted to kill a few people and make contributions, very depressed.

Zhao Hu was also very nervous at the beginning of the battle just now, but seeing that the enemy had collapsed before he could enter the range of the musket, Zhao Hu felt that this battle was too simple, and what would the musketeers do in the future, just go directly to the cannon bombardment.

In this short battle, more than 3,000 people were wiped out, 5,000 people and three elephants were captured, and the rest fled in all directions. That prince, Zheng Rong, twisted his foot when he fled, and was also caught.

The county commander Ma Chengzu watched carefully from behind, he didn't have any hope for this battle at first, and he felt that it would be over, and the best result would be a draw. After all, there are too many Annan people on the other side, and there are only 800 people in themselves.

But the battle process surprised Ma Xianling, if he had eyes. I didn't expect Battalion Commander Xu to be so strong in combat, and the power of that kind of Hongyi cannon was so great, and the Annan people were scattered before they rushed to the position.

After the joy of saving his life, Ma Xianling was covered in cold sweat. There is only one battalion of 800 men in this small Hongji county, but there are more than 3,000 people in Yong'an Prefecture. In addition, I heard that there are 50,000 people under the command of King Chu in Dongguan, and if you don't have this kind of combat power, even if you have half of the combat effectiveness, it is very terrifying.

In fact, the Ma Xian Ling exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the new army, and it was true that the new army had strong firepower, but the main reason for this victory was that the Vietnamese tactics were lawless. The Vietnamese did not have cavalry, and they still had to attack the new army head-on, and it was precisely with their weakest side that they attacked the strongest side of the new army.

The Vietnamese looked at the war between the Northern and Southern Dynasties for sixty or seventy years, but the various tactics and military ideas were still much worse than those of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Earlier, Xu Guansan saw other Annan people fleeing into the forest, and ordered the pursuing team not to pursue, he had just arrived in Hongji, and he was not familiar with the place, so it was really unsafe to enter the subtropical forest opposite.

Xu Guansan looked back at the dead bodies all over the ground and ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up and the dead bodies buried. He himself went back to the back and reported the situation to the Ma County Commander.

At this time, Ma County Ling was still in shock, although Ma Chengzu was a lifter, he was also a capable official. He naturally knew what the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in the Liangguang area was, and the guards were no different from the peasants except for the patrol sailors who still had some combat effectiveness.

If the king of Chu had to go against the grain and learn from the king of Yan to raise troops and make it difficult, then Liangguang and Fujian would fall in an instant. What can I do then? The Confucian classics he learned taught him to start from the beginning, did he martyr the Hongguang Emperor?

Just when Ma Chengzu was thinking wildly, Xu Guansan came back and saw him stunned on the spot, thinking that he was shocked by the combat effectiveness of his new army, Xu Guansan couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, these stinky old nine are not omnipotent.

Xu Guansan walked up to Ma Chengzu and said loudly: "Lord Ma, fortunately, I have repelled the enemy and captured 5,000 people, may I ask Lord Ma what about these people?" ”

Ma Chengzu came back to his senses at this time, he was far away from the Central Plains, and now he is still working for the King of Chu, not to mention the rest, it is the right way to get this coal mine, as for the rest? We'll talk about that then.

After thinking about it, Ma Chengzu arched his hand and said: "Battalion Commander Xu's subordinates are really strong in combat, and they are really the strongest army in the world." ”

Everyone loves to listen to good words, Xu Guansan grinned and said: "There, the county commander praised it, these boys are still recruits, I saw the elephant just now and almost messed up the formation, it's still a short practice." ”

Is this still a recruit? What is that veteran? Ma Chengzu couldn't help but beat the drum secretly in his heart.

Xu Guansan then asked, "Master Ma, you just ordered to keep the prisoners, but is it useful?" ”

Hearing Xu Guansan ask, Ma Chengzu remembered that he had just asked him to inform him to stay alive.

It turned out that Ma Chengzu saw that Annanren was defeated, and Xu Guansan led the team to slaughter the enemy soldiers in the back, and Ma Chengzu couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. Ma Chengzu saw the situation in the local Annan when he handed over, and knew that North and South Vietnam were now fighting to the death, and these 10,000 people were nothing in the Ming Dynasty, and they should be regarded as the division of the country in North Vietnam. If you take more prisoners yourself, you will have bargaining chips on the side of the North Vietnamese royal family, and you can get more benefits.

Because Xu Guansan and Ma Chengzu are not the same system, in order to persuade Xu Guansan, Ma Chengzu told Xu Guansan in detail about his strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf.

Xu Guansan is a martial artist, there are not so many curves, and when he heard Ma Chengzu's strategy, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "The prince is really right, these stinky old men are very poisonous." I will stay away from them in the future, and don't accidentally let them sell them. ”
