Chapter 339: Defeat! Defeat! Defeat! Far-Reaching Impact!

County.

Soon after Zhu Di led his troops away, a large number of people swarmed to the four city gates.

In the entire county, only Li Yu, Jiang Youwei, and Jiang Jinzhong were left in charge.

The three were busy trying to appease the people.

No matter how they explained, the people would not listen. As time went on, the anger among the crowd became more and more intense.

"Madam, let us go."

"The King of Yan doesn't care about our lives, so why don't you allow us to save ourselves!"

"Don't be afraid, everyone. There are not many regular soldiers left in the city. Rush out!"

...

Li Yu stood on the top of the west city with armor and sword, witnessing the crowded crowds near the city gate and hearing noisy complaints.

Try to stay calm.

The hand holding the hilt of the sword has begun to sweat.

Although she is also a daughter of a general.

But except this time.

Although she used to wield swords and guns, she had never done such a thing.

Why didn't the people listen to advice?

If there was no confidence in victory, how could my brother-in-law leave the city.

It is not safe outside the city now.

‘If my sister were here, what would she do? ’

Li Yu tried to stay calm and thought about how Xu Miaoyun would deal with the current situation.

After marrying into the Xu family.

Her husband told her that he wanted to run their family like her brother-in-law and sister.

Although they are definitely not as good as her brother-in-law and sister, they are their role models.

Ta-ta-ta...

“Madam Xu.” A hurried voice came, interrupting Li Yu’s thoughts.

Li Yu looked in the direction of the voice...

Jiang Jinzhong came hurriedly, clasped his fists and said, “Madam Xu, we must use tough measures to suppress it. Kill a few of the most troublesome people at the four gates!”

As he spoke, Jiang Jinzhong glanced at the city with regret.

I really don’t know what these people think.

His Highness doesn’t let them leave the city, can it be harming them?

As they are carrying their families and are defenseless, after leaving the city, they will encounter a dozen Japanese pirates who have fled, and they will be killed and cry for their parents.

Why don't you listen to advice!

Could it be that their vision is better than His Highness's?

Of course he understood that the people had their own ideas, and it was not wrong for them to think from their perspective.

But as an official.

Facing this situation, I really feel very tired.

If you want to be a responsible and good official, you will always encounter this situation.

On the contrary, those officials who don't treat the people as human beings at all and don't care about the lives of the people at all will definitely be well received by the people in this situation, right?

Li Yu frowned slightly and turned to look at the people under the city, with vicissitudes on their faces and panic in their eyes.

Attack such a group of people.

Even if only one or two are killed, it will shock people.

But she really can't do it.

Jiang Jinzhong saw Li Yu's reaction and smiled bitterly. He couldn't do it either. He whispered: "There are branches of the gentry here, inciting the people..."

As gentry.

But at this moment, he hated the gentry in the city.

This group of bastards also wanted to flee the city, but they were worried about being caught.

So they sent people to stir up trouble in the crowd.

He was very sure that the most radical and active ones must have been related to the gentry, "Let's kill these people, they don't deserve sympathy..."

There were only more than fifty regular soldiers in the city now.

Those on duty on the top of the city were all young and strong men who had been captured during this period and driven to the top of the city to fight and survive.

After two days of war, the pressure established by His Highness made these people dare not move at this moment.

If they wait any longer.

As the people in the city became more and more excited.

He was very worried that these young and strong men who helped them maintain order in the city would also make trouble.

Li Yu gritted his teeth and no longer hesitated, "Lord Jiang, let's do as you say, and try to catch those people sent by the gentry..."

Although the behavior of the people was annoying.

But killing a strong man was equivalent to destroying a family.

...

With several heads hanging in the city, the people who wanted to leave the city finally calmed down.

The cowards had quietly left.

Still wanting to escape from the city, the brave ones, although gathered at the city gate, did not dare to talk nonsense.

…

Minjiang River.

Liang Daoming and Ye Wenju stood on the shore, looking towards Min County…

Tap, tap…

Soon, the sound of rapid horse hooves came, and the scout appeared in sight.

When the scout approached, he turned over and dismounted, ran to the two of them, and said excitedly: "General, the fourth prince of Ming has set off, and I will follow him ten miles to the south..."

Liang Daoming and Ye Wenju listened, and even though they were cunning, they couldn't help but smile at this moment.

After the scout finished speaking, Liang Daoming turned his head, "Senior Ye, this Min County is ours!"

This bargain, he actually felt unreal.

But it happened to be true.

Ye Wenju smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Then, the two led 500 elite confidants, and took with them 100 pirates from various families who were responsible for guarding the warships, and rushed to Min County at full speed.

On the way, Liang Daoming looked to the south and said with a smile: "Is the fighting about to begin?"

After Chen Shou wins the battle and arrives at Min County, he will find that Min County has been conquered by them.

…

The border between Fuqing and Min County.

Shen Ren rode on a warhorse, constantly running and shouting in front and behind the team, boosting morale and urging the soldiers to speed up.

"Quick! Quick! Run!"

"Brothers, as long as we run to the Minjiang River and cut off the Minjiang River, the 8,000 Japanese pirates and 200 warships that landed will be finished! This is an unprecedented victory against the Japanese since the founding of this dynasty. If you cooperate with the King of Yan to win this battle, His Majesty will definitely reward you greatly!"

...

The other generals of Zhendongwei, like Shen Ren, desperately urged their headquarters.

Those who couldn't run and fell behind were left behind.

Everyone knew it very well.

Now it's time.

The 200 Japanese pirate warships in the Minjiang River and the 8,000 Japanese pirates who landed are unlikely to escape.

After all, the King of Yan still has 500 cavalrymen who have been hiding and not exposed.

Even if the 900 coastal defense soldiers who were taken out of the city were all killed in battle.

With 500 cavalrymen, they can still be invincible.

The battlefield is set 30 miles south of Min County.

It is impossible for the Japanese pirates to run back to the warships docked on the shore of the Minjiang River 30 miles north while the cavalry are rushing and chasing!

Maybe, the Prince of Yan has already prepared to sacrifice the lives of 900 coastal defense brothers in exchange for a great victory in this battle.

Of course, this is just everyone's speculation.

In short, now everyone must hurry to the lower reaches of the Minjiang River.

Cut off the Minjiang River.

If Chen Zuyi at the estuary knew that 8,000 Japanese pirates and 200 warships might be wiped out, he might lead all the pirates to rush into the Minjiang River for rescue.

This is not possible!

If all the Japanese pirates are allowed to rush into the Minjiang River.

Tens of thousands of Japanese pirates landed in Min County.

It depends on the Zhendong Guard and the more than a thousand soldiers and horses commanded by the Prince of Yan.

This victory has already leaned towards the Ming Dynasty, and it will definitely become a half-cooked rice.

…

Liang Daoming's pirates rushed to Min County.

When Shen Ren led the Zhendong Guard to rush to the lower reaches of the Minjiang River.

Beep beep beep…

On the preset battlefield, the sound of the horn sounded low and suppressed.

Ta-ta-ta…

The Japanese pirates, nearly 5,000 square formations, stepped on the steps, slowly approached from five miles away.

Dust was flying, and five thousand people were crowded and black, like a wave, hitting fiercely.

Encountering Japanese pirates.

Zhu Di had only more than nine hundred people on his side, and the formation was very thin, like a warship about to face the raging waves.

Two hundred musketeers, lined up in a row, standing in the front.

There were only two hundred people, and they were not defending the city, so they had the city wall to rely on.

Zhu Di did not do any multi-stage shooting.

If there were tens of thousands of musketeers, he would definitely do multi-stage shooting.

When the enemy army approached the range of one hundred to eighty steps, they kept firing alternately.

But there were only two hundred musketeers, so there was no need for this.

…

Zhu Di stood on horseback on the left side of the musketeers.

Bang!

When the Japanese pirates rushed into one hundred and fifty steps, there were sporadic sounds of musketeers.

Zhu Di immediately shouted: "No shooting! Anyone who shoots without authorization will be killed!"

When the Japanese pirates entered 150 steps, they began to shoot sporadically, which was very cunning and smart.

This was deliberately creating pressure.

If the quality of his musketeers was not high enough.

In panic, they could not withstand the pressure and fired.

Then they were fooled!

Shooting early would not only have a very poor effect, but also no time to shoot a second time.

It has to be said.

This group of pirates was very advanced in the application of firearms in war.

It has already surpassed the Ming army.

Forming oppression and luring the opponent to fire the first shot in advance.

This is definitely one of the best tactics in the volley period.

Why did Napoleon train his soldiers, giving orders continuously, and even if there was a cliff in front, they had to jump down without hesitation?

Volley period.

This quality is very important.

The situation where the forces of both sides are evenly matched.

Which side can withstand the fear of death and insist on firing the first shot at the most effective shooting distance will basically lay the foundation for victory.

Bang, bang, bang...

When the Japanese pirates approached 120 steps, the firearms began to become more and more dense.

Ah!

Screams came from the front row from time to time, and occasionally a poor guy screamed and fell to the ground.

Screams were too emotional.

The soldiers were obviously getting nervous.

"Those who shoot without authorization will be killed!"

"Those who shout and scream will be killed!"

...

Zhu Di always observed the expressions of the soldiers and gave cold orders.

Telling the soldiers that he was standing at the front with everyone and stabilizing the morale.

In the queue, Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment, drew his sword and chopped the wounded who was shot, shouting and disturbing the morale of the army.

Two-pronged approach.

The two hundred firearms in the front row, although their faces were pale, they were stable.

Zhu Di nodded secretly.

In the future, when building 20,000 private soldiers, at least half of them must be equipped with firearms.

At the same time, they must be trained to the point where the enemy army is shooting at a distance of 50 steps, fearless of death, and hiding without firing.

Why, people always say that in troubled times, the saints should be killed first.

In fact, it is the same as the saying that a kind person should not command an army.

In war, only those who are not afraid of death and do not care about death can win the war and allow more people to survive.

"Kill!"

"Capture the fourth prince of Ming alive!"

"Charge into Min County!"

...

The Japanese pirates entered a hundred steps and suddenly shouted like a beast, speeding up and running.

"Hold on!"

"Hold on!"

Zhu Di felt that Xiao Hei was getting restless and shouted with all his strength.

Ninety steps, eighty steps...

Staring at the Japanese pirates, he silently estimated the distance in his heart.

Fifty steps!

"Fire! Fire!"

When the Japanese pirates entered fifty steps, they shouted at the top of their lungs.

The musketeers, who could no longer bear it, trembled with nervousness and ignited the gunpowder in the medicine pool at the first time.

Bang bang bang...

Dense smoke filled the air amid the explosion like frying beans.

The Japanese pirates who were at the front fell down in an instant, and a depression suddenly appeared.

The huge casualties in an instant made the Japanese pirates who were rushing madly tremble violently, and their formation was obviously messed up.

"Kill!"

Zhu Di roared and drew his sword, leading the way, and rushed to the depression in the Japanese pirates' formation, which was also the most chaotic place.

"Kill!" The panic of the two hundred musketeers before shooting suddenly disappeared. They stared at one man and one horse riding forward, rushing into the depression, and began to slash left and right. There was only one thought in their minds: charge!

They threw away their musketeers directly, drew their swords from their waists, and rushed forward.

Fifty steps away, too short.

Almost in the blink of an eye, they collided.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

In the back, Xu Huizu and Zhang Wu each led more than 300 people, followed closely behind the musketeers, and rushed into the chaotic depression after the shooting.

Zhu Di led more than 200 musketeers who had changed their swords, and took advantage of the chaos to rush forward.

After Xu Huizu and Zhang Wu came into contact with the Japanese pirates, they followed closely behind and rushed to both sides...

...

Under the general's flag in the rear.

Chen Shou and others came back to their senses from the shock.

Someone trembled in surprise and said, "Is the quality of the Ming army so high?"

Hold on until fifty steps, when the musketeers have the best effective range.

The power generated by two hundred musketeers is amazing.

As far as the eye can see.

The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty led more than 900 troops. Although they were weak, they took advantage of the chaos caused by the volley of muskets to kill more than 2,000 people in the front of their own side, and the formation collapsed and was spreading rapidly to the periphery.

"We really learned a lot from fighting the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty!"

Hmph!

Chen Shou snorted slightly. Whether he was willing to admit it or not, this was true.

This method of gathering the musketeers and suppressing them to fire at a volley of fifty steps is really amazing!

If the Chen family's private soldiers had mastered this kind of combat power earlier, Malacca would have belonged to the Chen family long ago.

But it's not too late now.

Defeat the fourth prince of Ming.

After returning, according to the military system of five people in a group when the fourth prince of Ming defended the city, and the method of firing at a volley of fifty steps just now, rebuild a new elite army!

...

Chen Shou gathered his thoughts and then looked around, "Everyone, no matter how powerful the fourth prince of Ming is, he can't solve the deadlock of exhausted troops. His trump cards have all been revealed. Now, it's time for us to bet all the chips!"

They were scared by Zhu Di's tenacity in defending the city.

So, this time they sent two thousand people directly to force Zhu Di to show all his trump cards.

A group of pirate leaders laughed heartily.

They all rode their horses back to their camp.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

He drew his sword and pointed at the chaotic formation in front of him, "Kill! Kill all those facing us, whether they are Ming troops or our own people!"

Then, the remaining nearly 3,000 pirates lined up in a neat array, stepped on the pace, and approached the battlefield.

The Japanese pirates who turned and retreated in the chaos in front were forced to turn again and rush towards Zhu Di.

Soon, the chaos was contained, and the Japanese pirates surrounded the Ming army from all directions in a small area.

The Japanese pirates fought more and more steadily.

The 900 Ming troops resisted with all their might, and began to retreat step by step in the face of the strong forces of the Japanese pirates.

The space was constantly compressed.

Chen Shou and others stood on horseback behind the battle formation, watching the Ming army fall down continuously, and the space was compressed bit by bit, and they all smiled.

"Ming Fourth Prince, this slowly tightening suffocation must be uncomfortable, right? Your biggest mistake is to leave the city for fame..."

Boom...

Chen Shou's smiling and self-talking voice was interrupted by the sudden sound.

Following the sound...

Rolling dust waves appeared from the east.

Cavalry!

Chen Shou's face changed instantly, and a chill spread throughout his body.

'How is it possible! '

'If the Fourth Prince of Ming had cavalry, why didn't he use this cavalry when he almost lost the city defense several times during the defense of the city? '

...

Countless thoughts swarmed into his mind.

Question, fear...

Various emotions alternated.

"Kill!"

"Kill the Japanese pirates!"

"Destroy all the Japanese pirates!"

...

Eager to try, the impatient shouts of killing came from the rolling dust waves.

Chen Shou's body shook violently, and he almost fell off his horse.

Whether this cavalry was hidden by the Fourth Prince of Ming or not.

From the shouts of killing, it can be determined that the target of this group of cavalry is them!

Defeated!

Now all the troops are invested in strangling the Fourth Prince of Ming, although the cavalry is still three or four miles away.

But it's too late!

Three or four miles, blinking for the cavalry.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Chen Shou's teeth were broken, and he screamed hysterically. Under the escort of several mounted soldiers, he fled south without thinking.

Defeated!

Completely defeated!

Eight thousand elite soldiers, two hundred warships, all finished!

Chen Shou was smart, and the other pirate leaders were not stupid either.

When Chen Shou fled, the others only brought one or two confidants, chasing Chen Shou and running desperately.

The pirates behind immediately noticed that the leaders of each family had left, and turned around and ran wildly.

More pirates were unaware and were still desperately rushing to squeeze the hundreds of Ming troops led by Zhu Di.

However, when Tan Yuan led the cavalry and rushed in, the Japanese pirates were completely in chaos.

The situation turned around, and the big chase began.

…

At the same time.

West of Min County.

Liang Daoming and Ye Wenju fled wildly under the escort of three cavalrymen.

When they were about to arrive in Min County.

Suddenly attacked by a hundred cavalrymen, the five hundred elites had no time to form a battle formation and were dispersed during the march.

Liang Daoming's face was pale and bitter. He desperately urged his horse and turned his head back from time to time...

Dozens of cavalrymen abandoned the five hundred elites they left behind and chased directly.

Zhu Silang's cavalrymen were very evil.

In the battle, they actually cooperated in groups of five people and five horses.

There was no large-scale cavalry battle in Nanyang.

But he also dealt with the Yuan Dynasty people.

He learned about cavalry battles from the people of the Yuan Dynasty.

The nomadic people of the Yuan Dynasty were the ancestors of cavalry, but they did not have such evil cavalry.

Once he was caught up by more than thirty cavalrymen behind him, it would be over.

No matter how strong he was, the other side surrounded him with five people. If they couldn't suppress him, they could add five more people...

It was only a short distance of ten miles.

Liang Daoming felt like he was living a year.

Ta-ta-ta...

The sound of horse hooves behind him was getting closer and closer.

It's over!

Liang Daoming couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The war horses of the cavalry behind him are too good!

The BMW he bought from Liaodong at a high price is not even as good as the war horses used by ordinary soldiers under the command of the fourth prince of Ming.

Liang Daoming doesn't know.

This is not an ordinary war horse.

It is Wu Yunqige's dowry.

The tribes in the entire western grasslands have only collected more than 10,000 horses.

This batch of war horses is jealous even if it is placed on the grassland.

Soon, Liang Daoming and his men were caught up.

At the first moment, five riders rushed towards Liang Daoming.

A general flag led ten riders to observe for a while, and immediately waved his hand: "You rush up, first solve the three on the left, kill the three pirates on the left at the fastest speed, release the troops, and then capture the two pirate leaders alive!"

This tactic was also taught by His Highness.

If the battle situation tends to fall into a stalemate.

Use a small number of troops first to entangle the hard bones.

In a local area, concentrate superior forces, kill chickens with butcher knives, and quickly solve easy targets.

After releasing the troops, it's time to bite the bullet!

It's almost the same now.

He wanted to capture the two pirate leaders alive.

It's difficult to capture them alive.

The three pirate followers are not important, just kill them directly, it's easier.

It's difficult to entangle them, concentrate superior forces, and solve the easy ones.

...

When Liang Daoming was entangled by five cavalrymen without attacking, he was extremely uncomfortable. He watched his three confidants being surrounded and killed one after another, and more and more Ming cavalrymen separated and surrounded him and Ye Wenju.

Despair.

More fear.

Bang!

At a certain moment, after pulling away, he threw the knife in his hand directly to the ground, "No more fighting, I surrender!"

After Liang Daoming gave up the meaningless resistance, Ye Wenju gave up resistance with a wry smile.

A moment later.

The two were tied up and carried on horseback, heading to Min County.

On the way, Ye Wenju closed his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't capture him.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang's son captured him.

"Brother, who taught you the tactics you just used?" Ye Wenju was interrupted by Liang Daoming's voice.

He opened his eyes and looked at the general flag leading the troops.

The general flag instantly showed a proud look, "Our prince!"

As expected!

Liang Daoming said secretly, and asked with a smile: "Can you tell me about this tactic?"

Although he became a prisoner.

But he was looking forward to meeting the fourth prince of Ming.

Even if he was killed.

If he could meet the fourth prince of Ming in person, he would die with his eyes closed.

Cavalry appeared in Min County.

I'm afraid that Chen Shou's 8,000 troops are also finished.

This battle will have a far-reaching impact on the Ming Dynasty and the world.

But...

He can't see it.
