Chapter 118: Killing one is a crime

Ding Lie understands one thing very well.

Don’t look at Ruan Chi’s fierce beating, but if he doesn’t intervene, the winner will definitely be the Ming army.

Before the war in Annan, the military command army was only more than 100,000, but now after consumption, how many core veterans of Ruan Chi can have? Only 30,000 to 40,000.

This is better to forget it.

But Ming Dynasty?

Although the Guangxi soldiers trained by Guo Deng were all new recruits, in fact, there was an almost continuous supply of supplies from the Ming Dynasty, which may be a little worse than some old camps in the Jingying camp, but they could defeat the Annan soldiers.

After all, many Guangxi soldiers were originally soldiers of Guangxi chieftains, but they just changed their identities and joined the army again. They were not really farmers before.

This fundamental quality gap cannot be reversed by opportunistic methods.

If you don’t say anything else, you won’t be tough.

If they were just starting out, they could still rely on their blood courage, but over time, they would wake up from the wounds on their bodies or the cold rain in the sky.

So Ding Lie took almost any effort to pull out the mountain pass and join forces with Ruan Chi.

It seemed that all the Ming army's firearms had lost their function in the rain.

Therefore, here is a fierce battle from the beginning.

Wang Yue attached importance to martial arts classmates and also achieved some results. At least Wang Yue's subordinates had the most military officers from martial arts.

These officers dare not say that they are very powerful, but when most of the officers in the army are from martial arts and have received almost the same education, there seems to be changes from quantitative to qualitative change.

Even in the heavy rain, even if the ground was extremely muddy, and even if mountain torrents poured down from time to time in the mountains on both sides, the Ming army always maintained its formation stable.

It seems simple in ordinary times, but at this time, it seems valuable.

Even though the Ming soldiers were staggering, each of them had a big stone tied to their feet. Even though many tactical actions were distorted, there were improper cooperation between the formations due to various reasons.

But after all, they fight in a formation and always beat the Annan soldiers.

This is the flaw of Annan soldiers.

There are too many new recruits.

Even if it is sunny now, how many people can Ding Lie fight in a formation?

Therefore, facing the Ming army's offensive, Ding Lie could not conquer it.

Ding Lie thought for a long time, and suddenly he swung his whip and pointed at a gap in the Ming army, but the Ming army was deformed and there was a gap.

Ding Lie said: "The left and right guys kill the enemy with me."

No matter how many people there are, they can't be disguised, so only elites can be selected.

Where else is the elite in Ding Lie's army besides Ding Lie's personal soldiers and the men who guard Li Sicheng?

They were all fighting with the Ming army.

Ding Lie seems to be known as a million troops, but there are very few camps that can be sent out at critical moments.

Ding Lie could only fight in person in order to make a breakthrough in one battle.

Ding Lie led more than a thousand soldiers and rushed into the Ming army's main formation from this gap, but he didn't know who counted people, so he counted them.

He was not an ordinary general when facing Wang Yue.

Wang Yue was also very difficult to deal with when facing the Annan people's attack.

However, in just about half a day, Wang Yue already had a list of them, all of whom were his juniors.

Yes.

If a large number of military officers from martial arts were not the leader at this time and acted as the middle and lower-level officers, it was also the skeleton of the entire army, which allowed the Ming army to maintain its formation even under such circumstances.

But Wang Yue also understood one thing.

Although there are more than a dozen martial arts classes in the Ming Dynasty. Each class can be as many as more than a thousand people and as few as hundreds. It seems that there are quite a lot of people, but the calculation is enough, and it is only more than ten thousand graduates.

Moreover, the quality of martial arts teaching has been improving.

In those first few sessions, they were actually half-finished. Being a low-level officer is qualified, but it depends more on themselves.

From the beginning, the eunuch Liu Yongcheng was responsible for it alone, to the later part of a large number of officers with practical experience participated.

Including those who have been killed in battle, retired due to injuries, etc.

There will be no more than 10,000 people who still serve in the Ming army.

And this 10,000 people are spread across the border troops, Beijing camps, garrisons, northern borders, and navy. To be honest, there are only two or three hundred people under Wang Yue’s command. These two or three hundred people are supported by the current situation.

However, these people cannot be supplemented, and one person dies less.

The list Wang Yue saw was actually not a list, but a progress table for the collapse of the army. When these officers died to a certain level, this battle would definitely turn into a melee.

In the melee, advantages are as prominent as disadvantages.

Under normal circumstances, no one wants to be like this.

The Annan people were sure that they had no choice but to use this method that was not a solution. But Wang Yue didn't want to.

He wanted to slam the enemy's front and drove Annan's army down and give the army some time to renovate.

So this trap was set.

It is true that the harsh natural environment caused a gap in the Ming army's front, but Wang Yue did not think about making up for it, but used a killer move here.

Several cannons were placed here, and several wooden sheds blocked the rain for them.

Wang Yue saw someone rushing over. He didn't know who it was because of the rain. He asked the people around him and said, "Are you sure this can start?"

Several gunners said, "Please rest assured, General, we will guarantee our lives."

Wang Yue said: "There is no joke in the army. Once the battle cannot be fought, I don't need to tell you what you will end up with."

Although the heavy rain made most of the firearms useless, it was not absolute. Just like there were several shots in the Ming army camp before.

The same is true in Wang Yue's army, but he did not fire the artillery from the beginning, but instead tried his best to keep this killer weapon until now.

In this heavy rain, even if there is a wooden shed to cover it, it will inevitably be silenced after a few shots. Therefore, the outside of the cannon has been wrapped in oil paper, and many measures have been used to release water.

But even so, Wang Yue did not put all his hopes on these cannons, but also prepared a hand. Wang Yue's personal soldiers were on one side. Once the cannon was fired, this was the beginning of the counterattack. If the cannon could not fire, it was used to bet on the gap.

Ding Lie obviously did not expect Wang Yue to do this.

When he led the team to kill, as if he wanted to break through the Ming army's formation in one fell swoop, he heard a series of roars.

The Ming army first used shotguns, then used solid bullets and fired violently.

Due to the rain, visibility has been reduced now, so the Annan army did not find the Ming army's artillery at all, so naturally they never thought of this.

So in the blink of an eye, the soldiers who rushed to the front of Annan's army were covered with corpses, and a large area of ​​rain was dyed into blood in an instant.

Ding Lie covered his stomach, which was a despicable move, because a shell passed through his stomach, leading out of his intestines and internal organs, flying everywhere.

There was already a big empty hole in his stomach.

Ding Lie couldn't cover his hands at all.

Ding Lie wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything. He looked up to the sky and fell into the mud and water. With the countless corpses before, his eyes soon lost their spirit and turned into the look of dead fish eyes soaked in water.

This round of cannon sound would have shocked the soldiers of Annan very much, and their morale was greatly reduced.

After all, the Annan people themselves make good use of firearms, so they naturally know the power of this firearm.

Immediately afterwards, I don’t know who said, “Marty Ding is dead.” This blow to Annan’s morale was even more fatal. After all, most of the troops that can fight in this army were Ding Lie’s old subordinates.

Ding Lie's prestige can defeat Li Sicheng in this army, otherwise why would Ding Lie be with Ruan Chi to overthrow the rule of King Yishan?

Wang Yue may not know what happened to Annan's army, but he could see that this was a great opportunity to fight back.

With a command, Jiang Cheng led his only remaining elite soldiers to kill him out of the gap.

Suddenly, it was like mercury pouring down the ground, and the momentum was unstoppable. The Annan army was always collapsed. Wang Yue didn't care about anything else for a moment and smashed all the troops in his hand.
