Chapter 318 The School

The battle in Manchester is over.

The two armies confronted each other for more than a month, but it took less than two hours from advancing north to crossing the Mosey River to breaking the city.

After that, it took only three days to remove the resistance of the big town one by one.

Those straggling and defeated mobs are difficult to pose a threat to organized professional veterans.

Rise and fall are all suffering.

In the second year of Tianli of the Ming Dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty, there were only thirty-nine years left before the demise of the Yuan Dynasty.

That year, Guanzhong had a severe drought. Historical books said that hungry people were fed with each other. The court appointed seven times. Zhang Yanghao, a scholar in sixty years, took a taxi out of the mountain to provide disaster relief. He passed by Tongguan and wrote such a poem. After April, he died in office.

Today, England is facing similar hell on earth in Guanzhong that year, either drought or war.

Their new life has just been on track for less than four months, and was broken by the sudden war.

War comes and goes faster.

The moment before, all the men in the city were mobilized, and the children who had just learned to climb trees were occupied and stood in a row on the street, and their hands were stuffed with two horseshoes by the mercenary who had no eyes.

The adults who were wearing the longbows breathed heavily, and people whispered in the streets, roofs, windows and fences of the yard, as if they would be heard by the evil Ming army outside the city when they were talking a little louder.

But the Ming army was actually still on the other side of the Mersey River. The noble master wearing dazzling martial arts armor and rode his horse through the streets said that the invincible royal navy of England had left the city and was going to fight with the Ming army.

There are countless young and energetic young men lined up in military formations, carrying spears, longbows and Scottish swords, singing folk songs and stepping out of the streets and walking out of the city. At this time, no one's wife was sneaked up by someone. People clenched their fists and encouraged them viciously: "Kill them all!"

When the army was gone, the people gathered on the street slowly dispersed, and smoke came out of the chimneys of every household, throwing something that could enter the big pottery and iron pot as much as possible.

Food must be a little more important. In this season when food is lacking, not every rotten vegetable leaf can be cooked with the roots that have been stewed in the pot for three or five days.

The battle will last for a long time. In fact, everyone is unsure of whether the English royal navy can win, and everyone tacitly refuses to reveal their expectations.

‘If you can win, you will win long ago. Why do the royal navy fight against people?’

But the dishes still have to be cooked, and they hope the royal navy can win.

But the battle ended much faster than people imagined. Before the freshly-made fire could even heat up the soup, the panicked horse's hooves had already struck the streets, and it was like thunder roaring in everyone's heart.

It's a defeated army.

No one knew who the first defeated army to run back was, but only knew that those nobles who rode a tall horse through the streets and alleys half an hour ago were panicked and looked for a toilet for half an hour and walked through the city.

Behind them, the messy soldiers running across the street were like someone fired a shot in a pigpen. Although the structure was complete and the troops were sufficient, they didn't look like that when they ran.

The fleeing soldiers fled into their homes, and their armor and weapons were thrown away on the way to escape. They paniced and asked their families to pack up valuable items. Some even pulled them with their hands empty and ran away.

No one could tell why they were defeated, and the soldiers who could escape back to the city did not fight with the enemy at all, but they knew very well that this battle would be gone.

Their military formation was destroyed by others.

To be precise, the military formation was destroyed by its own people.

One of their earls was trusted by Drake for his military merits. Last year, the battle to invade Liu Ruguo from the north into the mountains was his work.

The long-time general in the army is very capable. His troops have lost in encounters and have never been defeated in a large-scale battle.

Only this time, after setting up the battle line, I was moved to see the enemy retreating to the other side of the river.

That was a trap, and all of them knew it was a trap now, but half an hour ago, no one felt that.

Because the Ming army threw two cannons into the camp, two large cyclone cannons.

As an old opponent who had fought with Liu Ruguo many times, the Count knew that the biggest reason why Liu Ruguo was unfavorable and retreated in the battle was his lack of firepower support.

He knew how important the two cannons were to Liu Ruguo.

It was precisely because of this that he judged that there must be a big problem in the rear of the Ming army. He immediately decided to send three teams of the worst equipment, 1,000-person teams to evacuate the camp that the Ming army had no time to clean up as quickly as possible.

Then the Ming army crossed the river.

The three thousand-man teams that packed the baggage were at the most loose time. Some turned to meet the enemy, some hurriedly transported the carriage, and some ran back without even carriages.

The artillery was placed on the front and the officer ordered the artillery to bombard it, but the artillery soldiers were unwilling to hit the shells on their friendly forces until the front was completely dispersed by the friendly forces.

The soldiers who fight each other, whether they welcome the enemy or flee, are a drop in the bucket for the enemy troops killed by organized squads.

Before the people in the city could recover from the situation of the army's escape, the real bad luck had already come to their heads.

The nobles riding horses fled first, and the remaining unorganized defeated troops met with the gangsters who did not dare to participate in the war in the city. No one knew who started the first, but only knew that soon the smoke was rolling everywhere in the town, and people were robbed and killed everywhere.

The paradox of the war happened here. The Ming army, whom they had never met, appeared in front of them for the first time in the appearance of a savior.

Block the streets and occupy all the roofs of more than two floors of the town. On the way to march, they will decisively and mercilessly execute the perpetrators;

Squads of fully armed soldiers searched door by door, pulling out all the men like shoving chickens;

No one could escape. Those defeated soldiers and hooligans who had no time to leave clearly had dozens of people hidden in one street, but they hid in different houses. In the end, only a small team of only a dozen people could search the entire street.

At the beginning, the defeated soldiers rushed out of the room with swords. As soon as the black-armored soldiers pulled out half of their swords, the musketeer standing on the roof opposite the street had already seized all his combat abilities from the smoke from the muzzle.

The lame Irish, who was sent to the roof, was holding muskets and shouted loudly that the war was over, put down their weapons to put out the fire, and the government registered and distributed it to the fields.

Later, no one resisted, and more and more people came out of the house until a child broke open the wooden door and rushed out, and threw the horseshoe towards the end of the street with infantry escorted horses.

The hooves fell on the streets, making sparks and jingling sounds, causing the entire general guard to stop.

Zhao Can looked around on the horse's back, and behind the half-closed door, there were a woman's worried and frightened face, but no one dared to look at him. No one except the child's mother dared to walk out of the door.

He could see that the terrified people were already tired of this kind of life.

The guards picked up the bird gun, and Uesugi's foot was even more nervous. He grabbed the spear gun and approached, but was stopped by Zhao Can.

Zhao Can, the general of Shuntian's Minyi Army and Liu Ruguo's martial arts friend, turned over and dismounted, walked up with a friendly smile, and said, "It's okay."

"It's okay, the kid sees me riding a horse and treats me as a nobleman."
