Chapter 53 Destruction
Ruan Juan and Pan Gongji, the two commanders of the two armies in the Battle of Ng An in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, did not understand what was going on.
When Pan Gongji felt that his life and death, he could not see the situation behind Ruan Juan's formation. In fact, he didn't care about watching the situation in the distance. He only felt that he had fought with an invincible army that was less than a huge crowd of invincible troops to resist the enemy's army's morale, and his right wing subordinates were still full of morale!
Hey, it's amazing!
According to the saying that Ruan Juan has a good position, he should be well aware of the progress of the war. This was indeed the case before the Ming army joined the battlefield. The entire process of the war was as expected. It would have nothing to do if one or two thousand strange troops rushed out of the North Valley.
Until the three cannons on the mountain fired.
The first round of cannons was particularly accurate, and the three sounds landed on the left-wing military formation almost made the entire Five Thousand Formation mess. It took the general a long time to react.
The artillery behind was not accurate. It was obvious that it was supposed to hit the left wing, but the shells kept falling into his central army, which made him unable to pass an order.
It took a long time before Ruan Juan realized it.
"It's not that the first shot is accurate, but that the first shot is not accurate. Those three cannons are just attacking me!"
If the Japanese soldier leader who was holding the Qi family sword on the North Mountain protecting the artillery, Lian Dou, heard that Ruan Juan was beaten at the foot of the mountain, he would definitely applaud. But he heard that the artillery was going to hit Ruan Juan and directly hit the enemy general at the maximum range.
If you get a bomb, you will have to be bombed, but you won’t lose money if you don’t have a bomb.
Who made their army too dense?
But Liandou didn't know what Ruan Juan was thinking, so he just held the five-foot Qi family knife and covered his ears and squatted aside - he fired the flag at the foot of the mountain, and asked the family artillery team to fire.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The General Shimen Zhenshuo, the Beishan position, opened fire on Ruan Juan's army in turn, and huge smoke and fire erupted among the mountains and forests.
This was long beyond the distance between the artillery's usual practice of precise bombardment of 400 to 800 steps, and even the entire range was not accurate. Even with the formation of 5,000 troops of the Ruan Juan's army, nine artillery shells were still scattered everywhere in the military formation.
There was even a shell that crossed the Northern Dynasties Central Army, and when it bounced up the second time, it fell to the place where the Southern Dynasties soldiers fought.
Even so, Ruan Juan's decline could not be avoided. Pan Gongji's war elephant had rushed into the front of his central army and trampled everywhere, rushing from one-third of his front, emitting a scent of frightening horses and a scream of terrifying soldiers.
In this era, any weapon can directly cause casualties on the battlefield are limited. No matter whether it is artillery or war elephant, except for the poisonous gas commonly used by the northern soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it cannot cause large-scale killing on the battlefield for a short period of time.
But the front was already trampled. Even though Ruan Juanzhong's army was divided into two large formations, with a total of 6,000 troops, and a round of war elephant trampling or a round of artillery could only kill a hundred of his people, no one among these 6,000 people wanted to be the one who was killed.
People never need heroes because they are great, but when disasters that cannot be stopped by human power occur, heroes will die in awe for more people.
The artillery did not destroy the military formation, nor did it kill many people, but the sharp iron balls destroyed morale and even destroyed Ruan Juan's complete command system.
At this moment, what Ruan Juan needs is not a hero. When the battle elephant is trampled on, there are always ordinary heroes standing up and blocking the robes of comrades in front of the invincible giant elephant, but one or several heroes cannot reverse the defeat.
Ruan Juan needs 100, 200 heroes to obey his instructions to block the impact of the elephant array and exchange for more people for a way out.
But they did not have so many heroes, without command. Those heroes with heroic temperament fought on all sides of the battlefield. No one could stop the trampling and impact of the war elephants, and no one could use their flesh and blood to block the shells flying from the North Mountain behind them.
If there is no hero, it will all die.
His military formation was disintegrating. Starting from the front of the central army, he used the gap entered by the battle elephant as the dividing point. The soldiers were driven away by fear and squeezed to both sides of the front line. The powerful instinct of the Northern Dynasties soldiers subcontracted the enemy to attack at the beginning of the gap, but the former tiger and wolf troops were only thinking about escaping at this moment.
In a blink of an eye, the three thousand formations were killed by the Southern Dynasty soldiers and generals and were about to spread to the back formation.
In fact, the moment the cannon sounded from behind, some people from the rear army and the right wing had already fled to the valley camp, and it was entirely up to the military supervisors left by the previous team to kill a group of defeated soldiers before stopping the collapse.
Pan Gongji had no choice. He was killed and was jealous. He used a battle elephant to attack Ruan Juan. As the head coach, he even rushed to the front of the formation with a knife to fight for nothing else, because behind him there were the Northern Dynasties fighting his army.
He knew very well that if he didn't defeat Ruan Juan's army as soon as possible, the left wing commander Lai Shiqing could not resist and would end up being wiped out by both sides.
The army in Ng'an Prefecture would never go out to save him. Those people were too late to laugh at him and wished that he would be defeated, captured or even killed by the Northern Dynasties, so that no one could seize the power of the Li Dynasty with them.
From the battle lineup to the battle elephant trampling the army formation, less than an hour before the sun had risen to noon, but the situation of the war was not as expected, and the three commanders were caught off guard in almost the same way.
The Donkey Man was not easy either, and this battle was not as he thought.
He was riding a war aristocrat and walking behind the flag army with a confused mind.
From the time the Nanyang Army stepped out of the valley to now, only the two infantry households sent out to fight the cavalry had fired.
It would take a while for Chen Mu to tell whether the rapid collapse of the three thousand formations of Ruan Juan’s left wing was a strategy to lure the enemy.
After all, it is not his own battle. He is fighting more and more, killing less and more. Seeing that the other side is fighting fiercely, he is not willing to take risks with his own family and give him a firepower support.
But others don't think so.
"Sir, please let me out. My hometown is 600 yuan per room in Yulin."
The young general Du Song carried three knives behind his back, and he held a handle on his hand. His chest and arms were shiny. He pointed to the enemy formation that was constantly retracting and squeezing each other and shouted: "Three heads are one or two silver coins, we can cut a street for the old Du family today!"
Chen Mu looked at Du Song up and down, looked at Du Heizi's martial arts, and then looked at the shirtless and clothed opponents. Even twenty people couldn't make up for this. He thought that if he had some luck, he wouldn't be able to make Du Song a record of an ancient general today.
So he tilted his neck and shook the whip and said, "Can your Du family take all the good things?"
Chen Mu smiled in his heart and said, "Your Li family in Yulin will give birth to Yinchuan postmen in the future. Your Du family occupy a street, and can no one live in a place?
"Then the coach gave me a 100-man team, and the 100-man team could kill them! Mr. Shuai, we are not fighting!" Du Song was so anxious that he slapped his thighs and said, "This is already defeated, and he went straight to chase him!"
At the edge of the battlefield where the shouting and killing was shocking, Chen Mu raised his hand and was about to speak, but was shocked by the volley of five two-jin cannons on the left back. He patted his ears through his helmet and waved his hand: "Don't think about fighting and killing all day long. It's been Wanli years. I'm not willing to charge and catch the flag. The fifteen hundred-house military formations are pushing and pressing up."
