Chapter 441: The country hates the family feud
At the moment when the Donghu soldiers were stunned, the Ming army had already rushed to the front, there was no way, the Donghu soldiers wanted to escape, it was too late, they had to turn around and launched an attack on the Ming army, they still believed that the brave won when they met on the narrow road.
The Ming army forgot this sentence, and when the Donghu soldiers began to attack, they stopped attacking and temporarily established a defensive formation, with the first row of soldiers squatting, and the second and third rows of soldiers standing, quietly waiting for the Donghu soldiers on the ground.
Once the Donghu soldiers decided to attack, they were like a group of tigers descending from the mountain, giving full play to the advantages of being good at running, and now it is impossible to retract their feet.
They didn't plan to retract their feet, the Ming army was infantry, maybe one of their charges could break through the Ming army's position, if they were in hand-to-hand combat, they would definitely not lose to the Ming army, and luck could not always appear on the side of the Ming army.
"Bang,"
"Bang,"
"Bang."
……
The Ming army began to shoot, and they relied not on luck, but on strength, the strength they relied on advanced technology.
Nearly 100 Donghu soldiers who were running in the front fell down in response, almost falling down with the sound of gunfire, and before the Donghu soldiers in the back could react, the second row of gunners had already fired, and nearly 100 Donghu soldiers were killed or wounded.
After all, the Donghu soldiers were not brainless tigers, and in the face of a large number of casualties, they finally discovered that the front was not a prey, but a trap, and the Ming army was the hunter hiding behind the trap, and he could give a knife at any time to end their lives.
There was no order to retreat, and the Donghu soldiers also slowed down automatically, but some soldiers still came into the range of the flintlock pistol, and the soldiers in the third row seized this hard-won opportunity to quickly shoot the bullets of the flintlock pistol.
The Marines had only completed a wave of firing, and the Donghu soldiers had suffered nearly half of the casualties again, and now there were only more than 200 soldiers, and their commander saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately gave the order to retreat.
"Chase!" Zheng Xing also issued a military order.
The first row of gunners had already finished loading, so they naturally picked up their flintlock pistols in pursuit, while the two rows of gunners in the back, because they had no time to load, quickly threw away their flintlock pistols and drew their scimitars at their waists while pursuing.
The tiger roars and the ape cries, and the wolf roars and the rat cries.
The battlefield was full of running legs, but the sound was different, the momentum of the Ming army was like a rainbow, like a tiger, like a wolf, and the fleeing Donghu soldiers made a frightened scream of apes and rats.
At the forefront of the pursuit, the soldiers in the first row of the Ming army put a few shots from time to time to add some terrifying atmosphere, but the soldiers of the Ming army in the back two rows have given up the flintlock pistol, and they run faster, and gradually have a tendency to catch up with the soldiers in the first row.
The current Ming army is no longer chasing in a whole column, and whoever is fast will be able to make meritorious contributions.
The Donghu soldiers were routed into the mountains, and even if the Ming army pursued them behind them, they did not have the courage to turn back and fight, and many of the Donghu soldiers were slashed from behind by the Ming army.
After more than an hour of pursuit, the Donghu soldiers who were left behind were gradually killed by the Ming army, and there were still more than 100 Donghu soldiers who gradually opened up the distance from the Ming army.
The Ming army hurriedly rested for a while, and the soldiers took the opportunity to drink water and eat dry food, and some soldiers were so tired that they didn't want to get up after they landed.
Zheng Xing divided the 800 Ming army into two groups, the 400 soldiers who were fast and had good physical strength continued to pursue north along the river, while the remaining 400 soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, collected the wounded, and gathered together.
This time, the marines did not kill the disabled prisoners of war, they escorted these prisoners of war who could not even walk, and toured to the nearby people, whether the people could spare these Donghu soldiers who had mutilated them, the Ming army did not participate, they wanted to fight and kill, and if the people were merciful, the Ming army would help them, find a hidden place to secretly kill these wounded soldiers, so as not to endure the torture of the wounded before they died.
In the evening, the Ming army caught up with the resting Donghu army at Guarayato.
Of course, when they robbed and looted the people's food and slaughtered the people who were protecting the grain, they also delayed a lot of time, and before they could eat enough, Zheng Xing led the marines to rush over.
Four hundred Ming soldiers, I can't help but say, I didn't wait for a salvo, I shot all four hundred bullets, and then replaced them with scimitars, they are ready to fight hard with the Donghu army, although hand-to-hand combat is not their strong point, but the Ming army occupies a huge advantage in numbers, four to one, plus the Donghu soldiers have just been defeated, panic in their hearts, if they can't win again, the soldiers of the Marine Corps should consider retiring.
If they are really desperate, the remaining Donghu soldiers still have the strength to fight, but now they have become frightened birds, at the moment when the Ming army pounced, dozens of Donghu soldiers scattered and fled, and the Ming army chased in all directions for half an hour, Zheng Xing was worried about meeting the main force of the Donghu army, so he collected his troops and returned to Gualayato Village to converge.
It is estimated that thirty or forty Donghu soldiers escaped the pursuit of the Ming army.
The Marine Corps is too powerful, and Zheng Xing used living facts to educate the local people: only the Ming army can protect the people.
Accompanied by the soldiers of the Ming army, Su Midan who came later preached the achievements of the Ming army and how the Ming army fought desperately and bloody battles with the Donghu army in order to protect the local people.
Under the influence of the Marine Corps, Su Midan has become a master of storytelling, although he is not on the scene in every battle, but he relies on his reasonable imagination to write a song that can be sung and cried, and the soldiers of the Marine Corps are the heroes and protagonists of every battle.
If there were writers accompanying the army at this time, as long as they were based on Su Midan's narrative, they would definitely be able to write old-fashioned stories that made people heartbroken.
The most touched were the local people, who heard and witnessed, coupled with the fact that the vanguard of the Donghu Army was annihilated, so that they rushed to become Han Chinese, and only under the wing of the Ming army could they live a peaceful life.
Zheng Xing did not immediately go north, except for drinking tea in the barracks, he followed the soldiers to visit and comfort the people in the nearby villages, until the 10th and 11th Brigades of the Marine Corps all returned.
The reconnaissance at the front reported to Zheng Xing, and the main force of the Donghu army was found on the north bank of the Zhelai River, with about 10,000 Donghu soldiers.
The number of the Donghu army was consistent with the previous message, and Zheng Xing decided to go north.
Three days later, Zheng Xing's vanguard had come into contact with the Taungoo army, and after skirmishes, the two sides confronted each other in the Kuala Lipe area on the south bank of the Zhelai River.
To the north of Kualaripe is the Zhelai River, and further north is a small hill called Mount Urumera.
Zheng Xing couldn't understand why Ji Lunhai set up camp in such a dangerous place, if he was defeated, there was no way to escape.
Could it be that the Donghu Army is going to break the kettle? Or is there some kind of trick in the Gyllen Sea? Except for these two, Zheng Xing couldn't see that the Donghu army had any certainty of defeating him.
Zheng Xing put on his usual defensive formation and waited for the Donghu army to attack.
However, the terrain here is not open enough, and the Zhelai River winds its way along the Urumira Mountains to the east, and then turns south with a huge bend, and the width of the battlefield is only a few hundred meters.
In order to increase the number of gunners participating in the battle, Zheng Xing creatively set up a five-row battle formation of six hundred gunners in each row.
The Donghu army on the opposite side can not care about Zheng Xing's troubles, their most effective way of fighting is to attack, rush and kill, Ji Lunhai is a famous general of Donghu, in his combat history, the only failure is the war in which he died in Long, his opponent is the army of the Ming army.
The defeat of the Donghu army was due to the fact that the turtle retreated in the ancient city of Baigu, and finally the ancient city of Baigu was broken, and the Donghu army was disheartened and could no longer fight head-on with the Ming army, so the Donghu destroyed the country.
However, Ji Lunhai deserved to be the best general of Donghu, and even if King Taron was killed in battle, he still led more than 10,000 Donghu soldiers to break through the encirclement of the Ayutthaya Army and the Ming Army and came to this strange peninsula.
Now he is also facing the Ming army, the hatred of destroying the country and the hatred of breaking the family.
Today, Ji Lunhai is ready to fight a good battle with the Ming army, either you die or I die.
It depends on who God favors.
At the beginning of the battle, Ji Lunhai let his only 1,000 cavalry take the lead, and all the infantry followed closely behind the cavalry, and he wanted to attack on all fronts and destroy the Ming army's position with the number of soldiers.
The mountains are shouting and the tsunami is blowing, and the tide is open.
The Donghu Army followed the direction of the sun and began the devil's deeds like angels.
Zheng Xing had already prepared, in addition to the three thousand gunners on the front, there were five hundred soldiers on the left and right flanks waiting solemnly, once the gunners on the front suffered too many casualties, or the Donghu army broke through the defensive formation in the front, they had to go up, twenty mountain guns, on the southwest flank, the gunners had been adjusted, and they were waiting for Zheng Xing's order.
"Boom...... Long ......"
"Boom...... Long ......"
"Boom...... Long ......"
……
Before Donghu's cavalry increased their speed to the maximum, the Ming army's mountain artillery began to shoot, Zheng Xing was worried that Donghu's cavalry was too fast, and used mountain artillery to suppress their momentum first.
The number of mountain artillery is too small, and the casualties of men and horses are not large, but the loud sound of the explosion of the flowering shell immediately made the Donghu soldiers who were screaming for a tsunami.
In the face of modern technology, the human vocal cords still need to evolve over tens of millions of years.
The Donghu cavalry advanced with their heads bored, and the Ming gunners silently fired flowering shells, and after debugging, the hit rate of flowering shells became higher and higher, and they had begun to blossom in the cavalry group.
There was nothing they could do about these terrifying shells, and they had no defensive ability other than to speed up and try to get into their range of attack as soon as possible.
The Donghu cavalry had no archers, and before they came into range of swords and guns, they were subjected to three waves of shelling, but the losses were not large, and the casualties were less than a tenth.
To completely solve the Donghu cavalry, it is still necessary to rely on flintlock guns.
The Donghu cavalry had just gotten rid of the flowering bullets, and they were met with the merciless blow of the flintlock pistol, and the most nervous was Ji Lunhai, who was standing behind the team, and I don't know if these thousand cavalry were exterminated by the Ming army like the last time they were in Tandaoji.
