Chapter 843 Despair

Mid-November is the dry season for Annan.There is a large village on the corridor between the two mountains and jungles in the north and south.

As soon as the sky was dawn, many people came to the village. They all distinguished themselves from Annan from their dress and voice.

Those people were wearing sharp hats and holding various weapons. Some of them wore armor made of iron and bamboo. They all had dark skin like green forests in the mountains.

But they did not rob the village, only some people would break into the villagers' homes to check whether there were any horses.

The villagers were crowded with people passing through the village, and most of them closed their doors and watched quietly in the windows.

Wool... The dogs barking around are noisy, and the fog is covered with the smell of feces and wood ash.

Ruan Jingyi followed Li Li and others and passed by this village.

Today, Ruan Jingyi led his troops and will be responsible for the left-wing operations in the north, which is a very important link.

King Pingding still trusts him more. If he doesn't trust him, it's best not to use it.

King Chen Zhengyuan's team has been on the road for seven or eight days, and is walking on the main road.

Along the way, Lili's detailed works were monitored through various methods, some were hidden in the woods and waited and watched, and some even smuggled into the crowd of people in the suburbs of Qinghua City.

The spies reported various news back, and it can be basically confirmed that Chen Zhengyuan was in the team, and they knew almost nothing about the rebels' premeditation.

If the king is not among the men, various signs will appear.

For example, they cannot make everyone, officials and soldiers perform like real.

Along the way, Chen Zhengyuan also met officials along the way, accepted tribute from various places, etc., without any abnormality.

Wang Lili of Pingding was very good at using troops. He did not set up an ambush in advance to avoid revealing his traces.

When the king travels, the guards will definitely send out some scouts in advance and inspect the military situation in advance.

The rebels dispatched the main force and were very crowded, which was not easy to hide; if they set up an ambush too early, they would be easily discovered by the King's army.

So Lili first determined the location where the King's Guards set up camp last night, and then set out in the early morning of this year to launch a surprise attack.

In the southern part of Annan Kingdom, even in a slightly flat area, there are a large number of paddy fields, plants and trees, and there are not too wide roads.

Most of the time the army can only march in a long dragon; if the Li Li army suddenly attacks from the side, the opponent will probably not have time to gather people to form an army formation.

Apart from the movements of the rebels, it was very quiet.

Suddenly, Ruan Jingyi was a little worried about Chen Zhengyuan's safety.

Can the Ming army come in time to reinforce?

If the time error is too big, Chen Zhengyuan's guards may not be able to withstand the Li Li army.

The sky was already very bright and the rebels entered a large forest.

Lili and others rode their horses first and walked forward. After a long time, the group walked to the edge of the woods, and used a machete to split the shrubs while leading the horse to a small hill.

On the road in the distance, a spectacular scene appeared in front of you.

There are countless flags floating on the dragon.

On the west side of the road where the King's Army marched, you can still see sporadic racquets of scattered races on the path.

Everyone almost held their breath, their expressions on their faces were both nervous and excited. They came over mountains and rivers and were waiting for today.

Li Li's voice was calm: General Ruan went to the north to lead the army, your people first went out to cut off the enemy's retreat.This king personally led the middle-level troops to attack the guards of the pseudo-king Chen Zhengyuan.

Ruan Jingyi bowed: The last one will obey the order!

Ruan Jingyi led the horse and returned along the same path, then took his followers and walked north in the woods, looking for a large group of people.

Of course, he was able to command the soldiers only because Li Li gave military power; those rebels would not listen to Ruan Jingyi in everything.

Ruan Jingyi knew very well that he could only do what he should do as a rebel general, and there was no other way.

Soon Ruan Jingyi met with the brigade in the north, and most of the generals knew Ruan Jingyi and walked towards him one after another.

Ruan Jingyi simply ordered: He ordered all troops to continue moving forward and immediately launch an attack as soon as he came out of the woods.Cut off the enemy's troops!

Everyone bowed: Obey the order!

Ruan Jingyi led the crowd to walk in the woods for a while, and he rode his horse to the edge of the woods first.

At this time, he saw that the enemy's long dragon had stopped and was gradually mobilizing to gather in the middle.

It seems that the scouts of the King's Army have discovered the abnormalities in the woods.

There were bursts of shouts from the forest, and many rebels had rushed out of the forest, and a column rushed eastward.Ruan Jingyi also rode his horse out of the woods.

The shouts and drums around him were loudly heard, and the rebels launched attacks one after another, and the crowds on the earth filled the past like a tide.

The people in front were all in a mess, and they were eager to go up and wanted to set the enemy down on the spot to defend; the rebels following behind could see their formation.

However, the King's Army is not a man of good military discipline. It is only the Central Army guards, because they got some armor from the Ming army, and the equipment may be better.

Bang bang bang... Ruan Jingyi heard the sound of muskets coming from the front, and the white smoke from all sides floated into the air, and the shouts of killing became louder and louder.

It is reported that the King's Army is not currently using the Ming army's muskets, but magic guns; because the royal family controls urban areas, it can create large quantities of muskets.

The rebels did not have these weapons, but sharp guns may not be as useful as crossbows, but there is no need to train archers.

Ruan Jingyi continued to walk forward with his men and soon saw many disintegrated rebels turning around and running back.

He did not order the soldiers to force them, but just turned around and shouted: Archers gather under the banner!

The rebels who arrived later immediately launched an attack.

They did not reorganize the army, and had almost no formation. Carrying spears, swords and guns, they rushed towards the east road in a mess.

Some people were trapped in the paddy fields and flew around in the mud.

The musketeers on the King's Army were also a little confused.

Their long formation was not messy, but the sharp guns after reloading fired one after another, and naturally most of them failed to hit.

Some rebel soldiers rushed to the main road and soon met in close contact.

However, the intensive formation of the King's Army infantry quickly defeated the enemy with a spear and a single sword.

Some of the people who rushed up in a mess were killed, and others naturally began to flee.

Ruan Jingyi withdrew his gaze and observed left and right for a while. Some rebel generals were gathering in line with their troops.The archers ordered by Ruan Jingyi also gathered together.

Archer!Ruan Jingyi waved forward.The generals shouted and led their men forward. When they were dozens of steps away from the King's army, the archers began to fire volleys one after another.

The King's Army on the road continued to be shot and fell to the ground, and they were also fighting back with sharp guns.Kill Ah... The rebel infantry shouted and rushed over again with swords, guns and wooden shields.

The dust was everywhere in front of him, and the figures were chaotic, and many people had already killed each other.

The King's Army continued to flee to the east and north.

Ruan Jingyi cut off the north road, and there was no difficulty.

The King's Army's army was too thin and could easily be penetrated from the side.

Ruan Jingyi looked south, and the central army of the king's army in the distance seemed much harder to chew. Rebel soldiers fled in the middle, and the sound of guns was even more intense.

He slapped his horse and walked forward for a while, and when he saw the flag, he shouted: He ordered the soldiers of the front army to detour southeast and encircle the enemy's central army!

Finally, I will obey the order!The follower next to him immediately responded with the flag.

Ruan Jingyi was not very hardworking, but looking at the current scene, he was too lazy to care about so much.Thinking about it, he didn't care much about the life of King Chen Zhengyuan.

At this moment, the Leli tribe in the south suddenly began to retreat!

Several cavalry raised military flags and rushed over. They followed Ruan Jingyi's flag and rode their horses to approach. One of them said: A large number of Ming troops suddenly appeared in the southwest. The King of Pingding ordered all troops to retreat immediately!General Ruan, please go to the Central Army to discuss military affairs, and the North Road will be led by the deputy general.

Ruan Jingyi said: The last one will follow the order to pacify the king.

He was very nervous.The Ming army suddenly appeared in such an impossible place, and Li Li probably had doubts.

Ruan Jingyi was riding south with his teeth and observing the large number of rebels around him.He wanted to ride a horse and suddenly escape, but so many rebels, one arrow, would probably make him dismount.

The several riders who were sent to the command quickly came up and protected Ruan Jingyi from front to back.Ruan Jingyi had no choice but to follow him and rode south.

Not long after, Ruan Jingyi met Li Li and others heading west.Li Li and Ruan Jian both faced Ruan Jingyi with cold expressions.

Ruan Jingyi saluted and said: Finally, he will pay homage to King Pingding.The boat bandits are all in Hedong (near Haiyang City), how can they appear in the south?

Ruan Jian said: Take a boat.Isn’t this the case when Liu Sheng attacked Qinghua?The question is how the time for the Ming army to move south was so appropriate?

Ruan Jingyi said in a daze: Chen Zhengyuan is a bait!

snort!Leli made a voice and tied him up to me and took him away.

Ruan Jingyi was surprised and said: The last general is loyal to the King of Ding, and the King of Ding should not listen to the slander!

shut up!Leli scolded.

Several people came immediately and tied Ruan Jingyi to the horse's back.

At this time, Ruan Jingyi struggled to look back and saw that the King's Army did not dare to pursue him.After a while, he asked carefully: King Pingding, how far is the Ming army?

Ruan Jian took the conversation and replied: There are still twenty or thirty miles left, but fortunately we left someone there.

Ruan Jingyi hurriedly said: Then we still have a chance, why not get rid of Chen Zhengyuan first?

Li Li said: There are many cavalry in the Ming army, don’t you know?If you don’t leave now, my king’s men will be lost!

Ruan Jingyi suddenly felt that he was about to be finished.

Li Li did not kill him immediately, which means he was just suspicious; but once he returned to the mountainous area, what would Ruan Jingyi faced? It was unimaginable at this time.

The Ming army was discovered by Li Li people twenty or thirty miles away, and the distance could not save the nearby fire.A cold despair had already enveloped Ruan Jingyi's heart.
