Chapter 691
When they returned to the Chinese army's tent, everyone was convinced of Yan Yingyuan's talents.And I admire Emperor Chongzhen for having a pair of discerning eyes that recognize talents.At least that's what Zheng Chongjian thought. After working together for so many days, although he felt that Yan Yingyuan was indeed good, he didn't expect that Yan Yingyuan was a great talent.

After Emperor Chongzhen sat down, he said with a serious expression: "The rainy season in Dongwu is approaching day by day, and I decided to launch a general attack on Dongwu's army tomorrow. Zheng Qing's troops have just arrived, and the soldiers are exhausted. They will use it as a battle preparation to hold the army down." .The other generals will fight tomorrow!"

Hearing this, all the people in the tent responded in unison: "The minister (the last general) complies with the order!"

Regarding the victory of the war, Emperor Chongzhen had no doubts at all, so he said to those people who came to Dongwu from thousands of miles to become officials: "I will give you three days at most to understand the situation in Dongwu and do a good job." The plan of the official side. I will give you some pointers on the main points, but how to be a good official, you still have to work hard yourself!"

"My minister obeys the order!" These people immediately responded in unison.

Most of them are scholars, who did not get along well in the country, so they went to Dongwu to become officials and got qualifications.

Including Yan Yingyuan, actually.When others reach middle age, they are just canon history, officials without even rank.In the original history, it was only from the master book of the ninth rank.If you want to be an official in the country, you have to wait in line at the Ministry of Officials. In this life, if you don't have a special opportunity, being a seventh-rank sesame official is already amazing.

But now it is very far to come to Dongwu, even if there is no chance, but the seventh-rank Zhima official, also known as the county official, is the start.After Yan Yingyuan lost his mother, he no longer had any scruples. For the sake of his future and the opportunity to show his talents, he signed up and came to Dongwu.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Yan Yingyuan again after finishing his orders, and asked with a hint of expectation: "Would you like to fight tomorrow?"

Yan Yingyuan is different from other scholars and juren, he belongs to the kind of all-round talent in civil and military affairs.

After hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, he certainly knew that this was an opportunity that he could only meet in his life, so he immediately clasped his fists and said: "My minister is willing to fight!"

"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen praised immediately: "Go to the Yongwei Battalion and select 20 people from the stroke. Tomorrow, I will fight with Zhou Qing."

After Yan Yingyuan heard this, he immediately understood in his heart that this was an opportunity for him to perform.In this way, when the emperor reuses himself after the war, there will be a reason.

Thinking of this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately replied: "My minister obeys the order!"

Zhou Yuji was on the side, but he grinned silently at him, expressing his friendliness.But in his heart, he was a little unconvinced, thinking that tomorrow he must not let a civil servant steal the face of a general!

Although he couldn't help thinking of Governor Lu in his mind at this time, he still felt that Governor Lu was unique.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, everyone in the Ming army camp had breakfast in advance. After eating and drinking enough, the horn sounded, and all the Ming army soldiers rushed out of the camp in groups.

The chariot battalion, cavalry, infantry, etc., with a total of about [-] troops, approached Ava City for formation.

On the side of Dongwu's army, the rhythm is still the same as before.At this time, they hadn't had breakfast yet, and most of the Dongwu soldiers in the camp had just woken up.

All of a sudden, they were all frightened when they heard such a big commotion from the Ming army, and they were all yelled by their leaders to assemble.

When they saw that the Qingming army had dispatched more than 3 troops and even moved the imperial flag forward, the soldiers of the Dongwu tribe who were facing the Ming army all had pale faces and no fighting spirit at all.

In the past, the Ming army had [-] troops and killed [-] Dongwu tribesmen and fled. Now that the Ming army has so many troops, how can they fight?
Some tribal chiefs immediately sent someone to report to King Dongwu, asking him to send his elite troops to assist in the battle; while some tribal chiefs simply had the idea of ​​running away instead of fighting the Ming army head-on.

In fact, there is no need for anyone to report, he, King Long, was already worried.He knew that the Ming army would definitely not wait until the rainy season came before attacking.Therefore, as soon as he heard the movement, he was the first to rush to the top of the city to watch the formation.Seeing that the Ming army has almost finished forming a semicircle to face Ava City, and behind it, there is another Ming army on guard. Based on previous combat experience, I know that this battle will be difficult again.

But no matter how difficult it is to fight, he has no choice but to fight.

Therefore, he immediately issued a military order to let the Dongwu tribe from other directions rush over immediately, and wanted to use the superiority in strength to surround the Ming army.

The movement was so loud that it was obvious that a decisive battle was about to take place.Most of the Dongwu tribe followed the military order and rushed over from other directions.Only a few tribes are stealing, raping, and playing tricks. They are dawdling, and they want to wait for other tribes to face the Ming army first.

When they rushed to the north gate where the Ming army lined up and saw that no matter from which direction, they were facing the Ming army directly, they became a little timid.In particular, the Ming army's chariot battalion lined up in front, which made them tremble with fear.

As a result, the patriarchs of all ethnic groups sent people to ask him to help King Long, asking him to send his imperial guards there.Otherwise, they were afraid that they would not be able to withstand the attack of the Ming army.

They were not ready yet, but on the Ming army's side, they suddenly heard the sound of war drums "thump, boom, boom."At the same time, the Ming army actually started to move and launched an offensive towards Dongwu's army.

Although the Ming army moved slowly, the formation was kept very neat, and the vans were moving slowly, just like rows of city walls.

Every time the Ming army moved forward, Dongwu's army became more worried.Some of the tribes facing the Ming army already wanted to retreat, and they didn't want to be attacked by the Ming army's artillery.

When King Long saw him, he knew that at this time, there must be an army who can be an example and encourage other Dongwu troops.Therefore, while he strictly ordered several of the tribes with good relations to meet the Ming army, he also let the imperial guards in the city fight.Otherwise, once morale collapses, it will be difficult to clean up.

However, when one of the tribes had the guts to stop retreating and just wanted to fight forward.Suddenly, a puff of thick smoke rose from the Ming army, and at the same time, two loud bangs were heard.

Why did the Ming army fire at such a long distance?On the side of the Dongwu army soldiers, all of them had such doubts.According to previous experience, the Ming army will only fire when they get close!
Thinking this way, they turned their heads to look, but they were shocked to find that there were already two bloody trenches in a tribe facing the Ming army.Broken limbs and arms, dripping with blood.

Although there were only about [-] soldiers killed or wounded in the Dongwu army, this tribe suddenly fell into chaos.Seeing that all the soldiers were squeezing to both sides, they didn't want to stand in front of the Ming army anymore.

On the top of the city, King Talong saw the situation, and while strictly ordering that tribe not to riot, he quickly ordered his imperial guards to suspend leaving the city.After all, this is his greatest support, but it is also a body of flesh and blood, which cannot withstand the artillery bombardment of the Ming army.It is best for other tribes to consume the artillery of the Ming army first, so that his imperial guards can be sent out to exert their greatest power.

However, this time, King Long's military order was a bit ineffective.Although the riots did get better after the military order was issued, it may be seen that some soldiers still did not want to face the Ming army's direct offensive and were still squeezing to the sides.

Just when King Long was about to get angry, suddenly there was another movement from the Ming army, and he quickly turned his head to look.But there were about [-] cavalry troops, divided into two groups, and rushed towards the rioting Dongwu soldiers at a very fast speed.

Not only did he see it, but all the other Dongwu tribes also saw it.They couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. Didn't the Ming army use artillery to start the battle first, and the cavalry army would only be dispatched last?Why did they send out the cavalry first this time?

The speed of the cavalry was very fast, and within a short while, they were already approaching the Dongwu tribe.

Among the soldiers of Dongwu, in a panic, some wanted to threaten the Ming army with their bows, while others quickly retreated under the sound of thunderous hooves. Their different reactions made them into a mess.

Finally, the cavalry army of the Ming Dynasty was getting closer and closer, and the chief of the tribe knew that if the cavalry army rushed in, they would all die.So, he frantically ordered those pikemen to line up quickly.Although I don't know if I can stop it, but at least I have to block it for a while.

However, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be going forward bravely, and wanted to rush into their formation, but when they were actually facing the battle, they just ran in an arc. When they were closest, they shot straight at the hole like arrows in the shortest time. There was a rain of arrows in the crowd of my tribe.

The sound of hooves went away, and the unlucky Dongwu tribe lay on the ground, and those who survived were all wailing there.The voice was so loud that other tribal troops were too afraid to step forward.

He, King Long, saw his face flushed from the top of the wall, and he was obviously angry, so he jumped and cursed without any grace: "Go together, what are you doing if you don't move, you can win if you go together, go, you cowards, superior……"

He didn't think about it himself, why didn't his imperial guards leave the city?

At this time, I saw the Ming army's arc, and suddenly a gap was opened in the car camp, and groups of Ming infantry came out of it, and attacked the Dongwu tribe that was attacked just now.

"Boom..." The fusiliers quickly fired.

The archers are right behind the fusiliers, using their fastest speed, regardless of accuracy, to cover any tribe.

Groups of armored heavy infantry stepped forward generously and forcefully, their blades gleaming coldly in the rising sun.

"Hoha, hoha..."

The neat movements made people feel that so many Ming soldiers seemed to be just one person at this moment.
