Compared to the Dutch, although the Portuguese were also panicked, they were still different from the Dutch.
Although Anders had a language barrier, he quickly figured out the reason for the sudden chaos on the Annan coalition side.
At this time, he was very lucky that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty allowed him to make meritorious deeds here.
But he quickly came to his senses. It had been so long, and he still hadn't made any meritorious deeds! If they don't perform meritorious service, will the Emperor of Ming Dynasty let them go?
Thinking of this, Anders became a little anxious. He didn't dare to bet that even if there was no merit, the Ming Emperor would let them go.
Just as he was in a hurry, he saw a messenger running over to convey Ruan Phuc Bin's military order, telling them to retreat quickly.
After hearing this, Anders quickly left the camp to watch. It was seen that Mo Jun and Zheng Jun were in chaos. The soldiers were not organized at all and were beginning to show signs of disintegration.
However, Ruan Jun is still organized. Under the officers' shouts, groups of soldiers began to gather, obviously preparing to retreat.
Turning around and looking in the direction of Hekou City, it seemed that there was movement from the Ming army, and it seemed that they were about to start a pursuit.
what to do? It will be too late if you don’t make a contribution!
Anders was so anxious that cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.
Zheng Jun's side has been defeated, but Ruan Jun's side still has an organizational structure. If Ruan Jun can also be messed up, this can be regarded as a credit to some extent, right? After all, there is always a difference in the difficulty of the Ming army's pursuit.
Thinking like this, Anders immediately focused on Ruan Jun's idea of meritorious service.
However, his army only has about 200 people, and the Ruan army has about 50,000 people. Even if one can equal ten, it is impossible to stop so many Ruan soldiers! It can even be said that it is difficult to even kill them.
Anders was so anxious that he was sweating heavily.
After a while, Ruan Jun had already begun to withdraw his troops to the rear.
Seeing this situation, Anders suddenly had an idea flash in his mind, and he immediately summoned his men and began to deploy.
Besides, Ruan Phuc Bin also hurriedly cleaned up and immediately got on his horse and prepared to leave. At this time, he was concerned about two things, and was asking the guards around him: "Have the war elephants started to withdraw?"
"Go back to Your Highness, the retreat has already begun!"
"Have the Folangji started to withdraw? I'm afraid their artillery will be too late. Tell them not to bring it with them. It's too heavy. They won't be able to escape with the artillery."
After Ruan Phuc Lin finished speaking, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the rear camp. The Folangji people were stationed there. Because of the importance of firearms, it was in the middle of the rear camp.
From a distance, one could vaguely see that many Francois had already run out of their tents, holding muskets and running out.
Later, the line of sight was blocked by the war elephant troops, and the large troops had begun to withdraw to the rear camp.
Seeing this, Ruan Phucin did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately ordered him to leave quickly. He would be the first to whip the horse on the butt, and he would go first.
On the Hekou City side, in addition to the car camp, almost the entire Ming army was dispatched, including the three generals Cao Bianjiao, Huang Degong, and Zhou Yuji.
At this time, their troops were already leaving the city, and they were waiting for the emperor's orders at the top of the city.
At this time, they saw that Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood and said to them with a smile: "Lu Qing has led the Guangdong and Guangxi armies and the Fujian navy to capture the Zheng army's lair and captured the traitor Li family. Now it was just intentional The released messenger rushed here and triggered the collapse of the Annan bandit army!"
Cao Bianjiao and others knew that the emperor had a previous decree, and secretly passed it to Liao Dongbo, who had returned to his hometown to have a wedding, and asked him to command the Guangdong and Guangxi armies and the Fujian navy to attack the rebel army's retreat from Annan North Road and East Road. They just don't know, what's the situation over there?
Now when I heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, I was immediately overjoyed. No wonder the Annan bandit army was in chaos.
"You and other pioneers drove the Zheng and Mo armies, causing their collapse to become irreparable." Emperor Chongzhen told them, "After hearing the loud noise, they returned to attack the Ruan Army's headquarters and pursued the Ruan Army fiercely. . In short, I don’t need the original officials and gentry in Annan, do you understand?”
In fact, Cao Bianjiao and the others did not understand this decree. Because in their opinion, the Zheng and Mo armies have been defeated, and the Ruan army is still organized. They should take this opportunity to attack the Ruan army first, so that the Ruan army is also defeated, so that they will definitely win a complete victory! Otherwise, if you turn around and give Ruan Jun time, I'm afraid many of them will escape.
Moreover, there is another thing they don't understand. They heard a loud noise, what loud noise? Where did the loud noise come from? Will it affect Ruan Jun?
Just as they were thinking about it, they heard Emperor Chongzhen order them again: "By the way, the Fo Langji people in Ruan's army are our internal agents of the Ming Dynasty, not enemies. Please tell me, don't kill the wrong one!"
After hearing this, the three people realized that what the emperor had asked the entire army to shout was actually true. The loud noise that the emperor mentioned was probably caused by this Folangji man, right?
Thinking of the emperor's continuous tactics against this Annan bandit army even though he was already strong enough, haha, those bandits may die in peace, because they were really unjustly defeated!
So, the three of them immediately bowed to accept the order and strode down the city, their steps very relaxed. It was as if they were not going to fight under orders at all.
…………
Seeing that the Ming army had already dispatched, Ruan Phuc Bin was so anxious that he urged his men repeatedly, threw down some things, and ran away.
His men were actually in a hurry, and the organization was a bit chaotic. Fortunately, his officers were working hard to maintain it. At this time, the main force had already swarmed to the rear camp.
But at this moment, there was suddenly an earth-shattering sound.
"boom……"
Everyone was shocked by the sudden huge sound, and many people were stunned. These are just the lucky ones because they are far away, including Nguyen Phuc Bin.
After being dazed for a long time, he turned around to look. Suddenly, he became stunned.
I saw a huge mushroom cloud rising in the direction of the rear camp, filled with thick smoke, and a very large area had become empty. The soldiers over there all fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. In some places outside, the soldiers who were less affected also fell to the ground. However, many people were still thinking about getting up, but they just couldn't. Even the few who could get up stumbled.
Including the war elephant troops, Ruan Phuc Bin had been hiding them like treasures, and they happened to pass by the rear camp and suffered a sudden disaster. Most of the war elephants fell to the ground and whined, while a few war elephants seemed to have gone crazy and were running wildly in all directions, completely out of control. No matter what was in front of them, they hit them all the way.
The scene in front of him was completely unacceptable to Ruan Fulin. He also couldn't understand why there was such a huge explosion.
After being stunned for a long time, it wasn't until the Ming army suddenly changed direction and charged in this direction that he came back to his senses under the urging of his personal guards.
Only then did he realize that the center of the explosion was the Fo Langji camp. With this discovery, he immediately guessed that it must be that all the gunpowder of the Folang Machine exploded, which is why it has such power!
However, how could the gunpowder of the Folangji suddenly explode together? Could it be that the Folangji escaped in a hurry and did not take any gunpowder with them. There were torches or other igniting objects, and they encountered the gunpowder in the panic. An explosion?
At this time, he still didn't think about it. This was actually done deliberately by the Folangji people. They gathered all the gunpowder they brought together and used a delayed fuse to detonate the gunpowder so that they could make a contribution.
This was the only opportunity Anders could think of to make a meritorious deed. Emperor Chongzhen learned of his plan through eavesdropping on the seeds, and only then could he explain to Cao Bianjiao's third general. I have to say, well done!
"kill……"
The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
On the battlefield, the morale of the Ming Dynasty soldiers was as high as a rainbow, and they chased and killed the Annan bandits like an overwhelming force. I was even more excited when I saw a sudden loud noise from the Ruan Army that still had an organic presence, blowing the Ruan Army to pieces. The thieves they saw in front of them were no longer enemy soldiers, but they were all military merits!
On the top of the city at the mouth of the river, Emperor Chongzhen was sitting on a chair, eating a durian and looking at the battlefield as a side dish. He smiled and said to Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyiwei: "I heard that Li Qing thinks this fruit is smelly, but you are ignorant. Yes. I would like to remind you that this fruit is not smelly, but fragrant. You can’t eat it in the north. And eating it regularly can strengthen the body, strengthen the spleen and qi, tonify the kidneys and strengthen yang, warm the body, and is a nourishing and beneficial fruit. The taste is It’s delicious too, don’t let the smell fool you!”
Hearing the emperor's happy words, Li Ruolian felt bitter in his heart. When a local official gave him this durian before, he had indeed commented on such a smelly thing and would not eat it if he didn't want to eat it!
But now, the emperor has said so, does he still dare to insist on his opinion? He did not dare to disobey the emperor's will, so he had to eat a piece according to the order.
Hey, don't tell me, this durian tastes soft and delicious, even softer and more delicious than the bananas I like to eat. It seems that it is not as unpalatable as imagined.
Emperor Chongzhen saw the change in his expression and immediately laughed and said: "If you want to eat, go ahead and eat. Anyway, it will take a long time until the war is over."
The Annan rebel army of more than 100,000 people was chased and killed by the Ming army of less than 30,000 people. No matter what, it could not be completed in one go.
So, just like that, Emperor Chongzhen and the courtiers who stayed with him were eating durian and watching the fighting in the distance outside the city. This kind of one-sided war, no matter what, looks comfortable, and even makes many people who resist durian no longer resist in the face of such a good "drinking dish".
I just don’t know how many people will change their attitude after eating it this time. They no longer think the durian is smelly, but that it smells delicious!
