Volume 2 Nanyang Chapter 390 Battle of the Rising Dragon IV
Chapter 390: Battle of the Ascending Dragon IV
For many children of poor families, taking a woman with a noble surname is much more important than promoting an official to a third level and rewarding ten thousand taels of silver. As the son-in-law of the Zheng family, it can be said that the whole person has entered the circle of the family.
How doesn't that make people crazy.
The so-called narrow road meets, and the brave wins.
In this battle on Suzaku Street, it depends on who can be ruthless and overwhelm the opponent in one fell swoop.
However, the two sides are still at a stalemate.
The conversation turned to outside the city.
Mo Dengyong, who was standing on the three-story wooden platform, had a gloomy face. The battlefield was very clear in front of his eyes, and the more this was the case, the more Mo Dengyong knew that his situation was not good.
The battle between the two sides had just begun, a little west of the South Gate of Thang Long. But now, under his nose, the Ming army advanced hundreds of steps. It was only a few hundred steps away from the high platform where he was, and it only took a break to rush under his banner.
This is something that Mordenyong could never bear.
The quality of the Cham army was tested, slightly weaker than his subordinates, but it was good to be able to fight each other, and the army he sent was forced back hundreds of steps by the Cham army, if it were not for the combination of the Yong army and the Cham army, fifty artillery, left and right attack, several times to repel the Mo army, now the Cham army can be defeated.
But even this kind of performance is enough to surprise Mo Dengyong, to put it mildly, if the Cham army could have today's performance on the battlefield between Annan and Champang, Champa would not have been defeated and retreated, and the land would have been ceded and reparated.
By now, the minds of both sides are obvious.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the Ming army led by Zhu Houhuang was better than the Annan Mo army, and the combat effectiveness of the Annan Mo army was better than that of the Zhancheng army.
Zhu Houhuang's purpose is to attack, and strive to attack and capture the thief and capture the king first. Defeated Mo Dengyong's own formation, and the Mo army collapsed without a fight.
And Mo Dengyong's mind is also obvious, he knows, I can't beat you, but I have a lot of people, I can fight the Zhancheng army, as long as I defeat the Zhancheng army, the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers of the Ming army can't make any big waves at all.
Without him, the disparity in numbers is too great.
Mo Dengyong's only requirement for the Ming army's attack was to defend. However, Mo Dengyong was also inspired by Zhu Houhuang's use of soldiers.
For example, artillery, Mo Dengyong's army also has it, but it is some light artillery, such as tiger squat artillery, etc., and it is far worse than Zhu Houhuang, not the power of artillery, the rate of fire of artillery, but the method of fixing artillery.
If Mo Dengyong wants to radiate, he must first dig a pit and find a way to pile up a ramp to relieve the recoil of the artillery and prevent the artillery from overturning. And there is no gun carriage, at most there is a wooden rack, and if you move it, you have to use human power to carry it, and you can see how inefficient it is.
And this is indeed a big project. And Zhu Houhuang's Franc cannon, this Franc cannon weighs heavier than Mo Dengyong's artillery, but since the beginning of the war, Zhu Houhuang's artillery has moved its position at least three times, and each time it may be a little slower than the infantry, but not much.
That is, the mobility of these artillery pieces beyond Mo Dengyong's imagination has become Mo Dengyong's biggest nightmare, in their opinion, Zhu Houhuang's hundred artillery pieces have simply exerted the power of a thousand artillery.
However, Mo Dengyong also had some inspiration, that is, the centralized use of artillery, the previous principles of the use of artillery, were allocated to the following battalions for use, never concentrated together, today when I saw Zhu Houhuang's usage, I immediately felt very fresh, and the power is magnificent, so he has already ordered the artillery of each battalion to be accumulated in his own formation, very early, they began to be busy, for a while, it can be regarded as busy work clearly.
I saw that the large and small artillery firearms in front of Mo Dengyong's formation were lined up, and they looked like they were above the momentum, and they were not inferior to Mo Dengyong's artillery array.
Mo Dengyong said: "Let them withdraw." ”
The flag bearer beside them immediately waved the flag. The phalanx arrayed before Mo Dengyong could not withstand the blow for a long time. If it weren't for Mo Dengyong's repeated reinforcements to support, they would have been unable to support it a long time ago. At this moment, seeing that Mo Dengyong actually let them retreat, it was like being amnestied, and they ran away. Even the basic formation could not be maintained. There are also some things that are not long-sighted, and they actually panicked and rushed to the back, of course, than killing on the spot.
"This is the third formation." Yu Dayou calculated silently in his heart.
Yu Dayou felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to deal with. Of course, because of the long-day battle, the soldiers are a little tired, after all, fighting is physical work. In one or two hours, breaking three formations in a row, Yu Dayou had already taken the spearmen in the team as spearheads, and everyone took turns.
The physical exertion is large, and it is natural to feel that the back one is easier to deal with than the front one.
But there is also the fact that the other party grows quickly.
When the first formation faced the artillery of the Ming army, they didn't know what to do at all, and they understood that they were stunned, beaten down in a daze, and then collided with the rear formation, which could be the largest casualty of the Mozambican army.
And in the second formation, it was known that artillery was fired.
It also brought a lot of casualties to the Yongjun.
The third formation was even more powerful, this time they seemed to be afraid of artillery bombardment. So as soon as he handed it over, Mo Jun rushed forward desperately, as if he wanted to pounce directly on the shield of the sword and shield hand.
In the face of such a situation, the artillery naturally bombarded desperately, but when the two sides got closer and closer, the artillery could only bombard the rear formation, otherwise it would be easy to be injured by mistake.
One by one, the sword and shield men threw grenades and bullets, and the effect was good. But the enemy reacted immediately, and someone actually threw the hand-grenade back again.
These grenades are all flints that can be lit with a single pull. However, for the sake of safety, generally speaking, there is a surplus of fire rope inside, and if it is thrown to the ground, it will explode immediately.
So there is such a situation where things are thrown back again. Let the sword and shield soldiers taste their own hands - grenades alive. Punch two large gaps in the shield array.
Yu Dayou made a quick decision, and the sword and shield men retreated, allowing the spearmen to hedge.
The three-meter-long spear had just been stabbed when it was flattened, as if it were a kebab, but it was not a meat skewer that was skewered, but a person.
Yu Dayou clearly felt the difference between Yongjun and Mo Jun.
The Yongjun's formation is alive and trained, Yu Dayou can change the formation according to the situation, but the Mo army's formation is dead, and he can rarely do any subtle moves, only fight to the death.
A lot of things are easier said than done. Mo Dengyong didn't know that when he was in battle, he made a move against the opponent, of course he knew that he didn't want to do it, but he couldn't do it.
Mo Dengyong's formation was ruthless and easily collapsed. Let Zhu Houhuang diagnose Mo Dengyong, that is, Mo Jun's organizational ability is not up to standard. Almost all the officers of Zhu Houhuang's Yongjun are old men who have followed Zhu Houhuang for a year or two, these people don't say anything else, they followed Zhu Houhuang to listen to the theory of the art of war, and they were also trained by Zhu Houhuang. All of them are literate and hyphenated. With this group of people, Zhu Houhuang can temporarily expand the Yongjun army and control it. 、
But there was a lack of such people in Mordenyong's army. Compared with Mo Jun, Yongjun is a handsome guy with even flesh and bones, while Mo Jun is a fat big fat man who looks very powerful, but his combat effectiveness is not strong.
However, in the third formation, under the sharp spears of the Yong army, it did not last long, and whenever it was about to collapse, Mo Dengyong would send a group of fresh troops to support. But in the end, I still couldn't hold on. However, it also brought great casualties to the Yong army, and in this round, there were at least more than 300 wounded soldiers in the battalion.
At this time, Zhu Houhuang's doctors began to work, and they were near Zhu Houhuang's Chinese army, and began to provide emergency treatment for the soldiers brought from the front. However, the number of doctors is still very small, and many of the wounded can only wail and do not receive effective treatment. Hearing this, Zhu Houhuang felt very uncomfortable.
The screaming suddenly stopped. Zhu Houhuang raised his eyes to look at him, but saw Wu Ming solemnly put away his sword, Zhu Houhuang asked, "How can you kill him?" ”
Wu Ming said: "Your Highness, near the tent, there is such a scream that will affect morale. ”
