Chapter 223: Killing the Bloody Road
Under the onslaught of Li's 12,700 cavalry, the 100,000 people who were at the forefront of the Nguyen army, used as cannon fodder, immediately collapsed. **.
Ruan Meng secretly screamed badly, and immediately sent thousands of soldiers to bring these people back from both sides, and the blood path that Li 12 or 7,000 cavalry jumped out was occupied again, and the dense crowd blocked Li Twelve's back road, Ruan Meng was afraid that Li Twelve's and them would flee backwards.
How could Li Twelve run backwards! After studying with Luo Hu yesterday, he had already decided to kill all the way forward once he attacked! Then the enemy will not be able to react.
So, Li Twelve and Luo Hu led people to continue to rush forward! Forward, there is a way out!
But then, 50,000 Nguyen cavalry blocked the way.
Li Twelve and Luo Hu didn't stop, and continued to rush forward! The power of the cavalry lies in the inertia of acceleration, and when the galloping horse runs forward like crazy, nothing can stop it!
But the 50,000 Nguyen troops in front were cavalry, and although some of these cavalrymen rode horses, some rode donkeys, and some rode mules, the cavalry was still cavalry. Moreover, these cavalrymen even had long white-pole guns in their hands! It seems that these soldiers were also trained.
Therefore, Li XII raised the command flag and gave a loud order, "Fire!" ”
First of all, the first round of three-eyed fire guns was sprayed, and the cavalry of the Ruan army in the lead, even men and horses, donkeys and mules were directly shot and killed, hundreds of them were killed.
Then there was a volley of bird guns, and many more enemies in front and on both sides were killed.
Immediately after that, the boring palladium's rockets flew wildly, killing the enemy. It is pure nonsense to say how accurate the rocket on the boring palladium is, but because of the large number of enemy cavalry. The blind cat touched the mouse, and the rocket did not miss. In addition, not only can the arrows of rockets kill people, but the barrels tied to the shafts of arrows can also explode. If you can't shoot you, you will be injured! And the back of the rocket's butt is on fire, swishing and flying, and the momentum is very amazing! At that time, a lot of enemies were killed!
To say that the morale of the Ruan army is really high, after being killed a lot of people, they still continue to rush forward.
Li 12 urgently ordered, all firearms were fired!
I only heard the roar of popping beans, with the impact of Li's twelve or seven thousand cavalry. The front and back left and right were blasted out of a long empty field! Dead donkeys, dead horses, dead mules, dead people! There was blood all over the ground, and there were wails everywhere.
Ruan Meng hurriedly thought about urging the Ruan cavalry to besiege, but saw that Li Twelve and the others had already killed them like a gust of wind.
But at the end. The 50,000 soldiers of the Nguyen army are coming forward.
It was too late to load ammunition, Li Twelve and Luo Hu immediately drew their war knives and shouted, kill! Rushed over.
The seven thousand cavalrymen immediately hung their guns in the saddle. They drew their sabers one after another. Slash at the enemy. One by one, enemies were disemboweled or half of their heads cut off.
The soldier with the three-eyed firearm waited for the barrel of the gun to cool down, reversed the firecracker, held the barrel, and swung the pure iron firearm at the enemy. The handle of the three-eyed firearm is like an iron hammer, smashing the enemy's head to the brain!
The boring palladium hand is extremely fierce, the boring frames on both sides are two sharp scimitars, and the boring palladium tip in front is originally a sharp iron lance head! I saw that the boring palladium hand was poked and chopped, and the enemy who touched it was either chopped off his arm or poked all over his face.
Even the gunpowder hand at the rear. He also lifted the pointed iron poles on both sides from the saddle and smashed them with thorns. Very ferocious.
If it is all cold weapons, if you don't understand the tactics of war, the infantry meets the cavalry and you are looking for death!
Therefore, after only a short period of effort, Li Twelve and Luo Hu opened a bloody road.
Ruan Meng couldn't catch up, so he could only watch Li Twelve and his people disappear from sight. Looking back, Ruan Meng was angry and frightened, and hurriedly counted the casualties. The least people who died were ordinary people who used as cannon fodder, and only more than 2,000 people were trampled to death by horses. The cavalry died the most, and more than 6,000 people were killed by the fire of the Ming army during this time, and the infantry also suffered a lot of casualties, with 4,000 people killed.
Ruan Meng's face was solemn, no, I have to inform Ruan Gang quickly, these Ming troops are too fierce, they are simply not human, don't be careless.
And Li XII has already killed the dragon. This quick blow, relying on the fierce firearms and the bravery of the soldiers, caused few casualties.
However, Li Twelve and Luo Hu looked at each other and were still shocked. Because when the enemy was just killed, the ruan army also resounded with the sound of messy firearms.
Doesn't it mean that there are no firearms in the entire Annam region! What's going on?
However, Li Twelve and Luo Hu didn't have time to think about it, they still had to go to Thang Long City. If they can enter the city, they can help Zheng defend the city, so as not to be destroyed by the Ruan Dynasty. If these 7,000 cavalry can't enter the city, then they must find a way to send Zheng Tie to the city, so as to inform Zheng Zhu that reinforcements are coming soon, so that Zheng Zhu has the determination to support it.
When there was still some distance from Thang Long City, Li Twelve ordered to set up camp, and he, Luo Hu, and Zheng Tie took a small team of light horses to check the situation around Thang Long City.
Outside Thang Long City, it was densely packed with enemy troops, especially at the four gates of Thang Long City, where the camps were densely packed, blocking the city gates.
At this time, the siege of the Nguyen Dynasty had stopped, but there was the roar of sporadic cannons.
Li Twelve and Luo Hu looked at each other again, what was going on? Did the Nguyen Dynasty really have artillery?
The group looked around and returned to the station.
Li Twelve discussed with Luo Hu and others, thinking that it was impossible for these 7,000 people to enter the city, and now they were just trying to find a way to send Zheng Tie to the city. In the end, it was decided that at night, Li Twelve would not lead people to break through the city gate, but to reach the city wall in other places, hoping that the people on the city wall could recognize Zheng Tie, put down the rope, and let Zheng Tie climb up.
"Uncle Twelve, when the time comes, I will also take a small team of people and follow Zheng Tie into the city." Luo Hu said.
"No, it's too dangerous!" Li Twelve refused. Luo Hu is Li Guo's confidant, Li Twelve also likes Luo Hu very much, Li Twelve doesn't want Luo Hu to have any mistakes.
"Twelfth Uncle, let's go to observe today, I found that the banner on the head of the city is not displayed, presumably the morale in the city is low, if you rely on Zheng Tie alone to enter the city, it may not have any effect, because I talked to him, and now there are no famous generals in Thang Long City. Moreover, for such a long time, I still have some experience in fighting and defending the city, and if I enter the city, I believe there will be a way to defend Thang Long! "Luo Hu analyzes the shape shì.
Li XII pondered for a moment, the soldiers of the Nguyen Dynasty who were besieging the city were indeed highly motivated, and they seemed to be more effective than the enemy who was blocking them. It is indeed difficult to say whether Thang Long City can hold it. If Thang Long City falls, what will Luo Hu do if he is trapped in the city?
"Uncle Twelve, don't worry, I knew that my father Li was the true son of heaven back then, didn't we also calculate it! The fortune teller said that we will experience risks and die for a lifetime, but in the end, we will be able to pay homage to the generals, and I will not die so lightly! Luo Hu saw Li Twelve's hesitation.
Li Twelve thought about it again, "Okay, Luo Hu, you must pay attention to your own safety when the time comes!" Remember, it's all about preserving yourself! Remember! ”
"Uncle Twelve, I know!"
So, that night, Li XII led his army to break through the gap between the enemy's garrisons and kill all the way to the root of the city wall! (To be continued......)
