"Bang, bang, bang."
When Annan's forward army approached 20 feet away, the Ming army launched an attack.
The soldiers of Annan's forward army fell in response. A rough estimate is that this attack by the Ming army killed at least more than 80 people on the other side.
To the surprise of the Ming army, the opponent's troops, which clearly looked like a mixed army, were not defeated. There was only some minor chaos, and they quickly calmed down as the officers reassured them.
Instead, he raised his shield and continued to fight forward.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Since the other party is sincere in committing suicide, the Ming army will naturally not let go. Soon the opponent's losses reached 30%.
As an Annan soldier ran back crying, Annan's forward army quickly disintegrated like an avalanche.
No matter how hard those officers tried, they could not prevent the army from retreating.
"Catch those fleeing soldiers, crush them in front of the formation, and chop them all, oh no, chop a third of them, and let them test the Ming army's firepower again. Whoever dares to escape will be killed without mercy! The same goes for your family members. You will be punished," Master Zheng said with a straight face.
The army suffered a loss of 30% before it collapsed. It was already considered a powerful army.
However, this was in front of the battle, and the Ming army was defeated in less than a short time (2-3 minutes) before and after contact with the Ming army. It was really embarrassing for me.
If not punished, what will others think? How will I lead the team in the future?
"Spread out, three people form a small team. Take your shields and kill them for me." shouted an Annan general.
From the previous contact, he could clearly see that the Ming army's firearms were as sharp as those given by Xi Yi.
However, although firearms are good, they also have disadvantages.
That is, the accuracy is not enough, and intensive firepower is needed to destroy the enemy.
The troops that had just been tested were too concentrated, giving the other side an opportunity to take advantage.
Now that the army is dispersed, although it is impossible to pose a threat to the opponent, it can indeed detect the opponent's firepower very well.
"Bang, bang, bang"
"Bang, bang, bang"
Although the morale of the Annan soldiers was commendable, they could only die in vain in the face of powerful weapons.
"Brother Zheng is good at it." Lord Ruan, who was watching the battle, shouted.
Although threatening soldiers with their families is not a good method and is very likely to cause soldiers to rebel, it is indeed effective.
As for the future consequences, it is Master Zheng who will bear them, not him, so what do he have to worry about?
To be honest, Lord Ruan wished that the other party would commit more mischief, and then he would be able to unify Annan.
"I made you laugh." Master Zheng said with a smile.
He is not stupid, how can he not know what the opponent Ruan is planning, but he has no choice.
The Ming army occupied its own territory, and if it continued, the soldiers would mutiny sooner or later.
Moreover, after driving away the Ming army, there is still Lord Ruan to deal with. This forced Master Zheng to adopt a high-pressure strategy.
"The firepower of the Ming army is so powerful that the shields in our hands cannot stop it. I suggest that we send a team to push the ton truck to try it out."
"allow."
"As long as they can reach the corner, each person will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." In order to increase morale, Master Zheng asked his men to announce the rewards.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward. After hearing the reward, the morale of the new team increased greatly. They pushed the shield cart and fought like before.
The result was not as expected by Lord Zheng. Although the Ming army used cannons, many soldiers still successfully arrived at the city.
"The shield car can indeed block the opponent's firearms, and the Ming army doesn't have many cannons. We don't need to test anymore. Let's attack with the main force immediately."
"Okay." Lord Ruan agreed to Lord Zheng's request.
"Kill, if you kill a Ming general, you will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver. If you climb the city wall first, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. If you kill a Ming general, you will be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, and you will be named a general."
"Kill, if you kill a Ming general, you will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver. If you climb the city wall first, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. If you kill a Ming general, you will be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, and you will be named a general."

....
Under the temptation of huge rewards, Annan's army quickly attacked the Ming army.
"Boom, boom, boom" the Ming army launched artillery bombardments on the city wall, leaving a large number of broken limbs and broken arms in the path of the artillery shells. Some injured Annan soldiers couldn't help but cry, and then the soldiers on the side put an end to their pain.
Fortunately, in order to show weakness, the Ming Dynasty hid a large part of its firepower. In addition, although most of the Annan army was equipped with cold weapons, they had seen artillery and were not defeated by such shelling.
Soon, the other party came within 20 feet.
At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng issued the order to use full firepower.
With the "woo, woo, woo" horn and the waving of the flag behind.
A soldier named Ming Dynasty lit the fuse in his hand amid everyone's comments.
The cannons that were hidden before roared one after another.
The front-line soldiers are also unambiguous. Setting up a mortar will cause a lot of damage.
In an instant, the frontmost troops of Annan's army were covered by Ming's firepower. The losses were heavy for a time.
Before Annan's army could react, several violent "pong" explosions sounded at the center of Annan's army.
For a moment, Annan's army was mixed into a ball.
"At this moment, the Ming army's musketeers launched another attack, and those sharpshooters also fired frantically at their targets.
The violent rain of bullets, coupled with the killing of those low-level generals, instantly plunged the Annan army into chaos.
"Kill, as the order was issued, 1,000 Ming cavalry, which had been prepared for a long time, opened the city gate and waved their butcher knives to kill Annan's army."
"Run away."
"The Ming army is coming. Run away."
The appearance of the Ming army's cavalry became the last straw that broke the opponent's nerves.
As the ace unit of the cold weapon era, heavy armored cavalry. The purpose of their existence is to charge and break the formation.
Their powerful impact and excellent defense make them not afraid of the opponent's cold weapons. It can be said that the heavy armored cavalry is a powerful unit that breaks formations.
If the opponent formed a formation, they might still be able to block it.
But it's only possible.
But now Annan's army is in chaos, and even the most basic formation is gone. How could he possibly stop Daming's cavalry?
At this time, as soon as the Ming army's heavy armored cavalry appeared, countless Annan soldiers turned around and ran away, and the Annan army collapsed instantly.
For a moment, all the Ming soldiers smiled.
You know, over the years, the number of Ming soldiers who died in frontal battles at the hands of Jiannu was less than one-tenth of the number who were killed by Jiannu before they were defeated.
It can be seen that in the cold weapon era, the army collapsed.
Annan's army was not as elite as the Ming Dynasty. Now it has collapsed, and failure is inevitable.
