There is a sand and mud flat on the river bank that is nearly two hundred steps wide. Ann personally walked around the beach. Sometimes his calf could sink most of it. He had to work hard to pull his legs out of the river sand and mud.
If people walk on this beach, it will obviously be very difficult and slow.
This will surely be the burial place of the Ming army.
Ann had already arranged a large number of crossbowmen to the front and approached the river beach.
Once the Ming army crowd landed on a boat and fell on this beach, the archers led by Ann would continue to shoot arrows and ruthlessly shoot the enemy troops who were as slow as lambs to be slaughtered.
After the sun rises, the fog dissipates faster and the vision becomes clearer.
Ann clearly saw that many Ming soldiers on the other side were gathering on the plunge boat.
He was a little excited and looked forward to it.
As for another Ming army fleet in the north, An En didn't want to care too much for the time being. His mind was full of victory in front of him, and he could not wait.
At this time, a ship anchored in the sea that could not be docked by the river, and there were noises coming from the sound of horns resounding on the ground in the early morning.
An En observed carefully and found a large ship changing flags.
The Ming army's naval ships had already set sails and their masts were bare, so they were very obvious when changing the flag.
An En didn't understand the meaning of the horn and the flag, nor was it true that the real La people could understand.The signals of each army are determined by themselves and are different.
After a while, a dense drum sounded on several large ships lined up in the middle of the river.
It sounds like some small drums, but the sound is not loud. If the person is a little far away, he can only be vaguely heard.
However, the pace is very fast, and the rapid tapping makes people suspicious and the drum beat the guy just beats the drum desperately.
Immediately below the side of the ship, a whole row of wooden holes suddenly opened, and many yellow things poked their heads out of the wooden holes.
Ann suddenly felt something was wrong, people were always afraid of things they didn't know very well.
However, he quickly guessed that it was a firearm, and some places in the Huihui Sect in the west were also using firearms.
Boom, boom!Two loud thunderous sounds came.In a short while, rows of fires shone on the side of the big ships, and the dense sound of cannons began to roar.
When Ann heard the sound and turned around to watch the military formation, the shells had already entered the archer formation of the Zhenla Army.
He didn't know what was going on, but saw riots everywhere in the crowd, just as thousands of troops were suddenly cursed by witchcraft, and people fled everywhere in panic.
The deafening cannon sound soon stopped.The sky was still noisy, and followed by the Zhen La army formation on the river bank, the unstoppable screams and shouts.The formation was noisy and chaotic, and it was impossible to communicate.
Ann's mind was blank, and he had not yet recovered from the great inner contrast.Under his feet, he couldn't help but take a few steps back and watched in shock the outline of the big ship filled with white smoke.
He stared blankly for a while before turning around and hurriedly leaving the river beach.The followers beside him immediately nervously protected him from the front and back.
The archers of the Zhenla army were all retreating westward, and people suddenly rushed in disorder in one direction, and the crowd suddenly became very crowded.
There were loud noises in the formation, and the noise was buzzing.
Behind the archer formation, the war elephants were also frightened by the thunderous cannon sound, and turned around and wanted to leave. The elephant tamer was stopping the elephant.
An En walked back to the army formation and finally came to his senses. He shouted: Order the troops not to panic, stabilize the position first, and line up and retreat!
However, the situation seemed to be worse. After the guards went to convey military orders to the nobles in various places, the chaotic situation still did not improve.An En had no good idea for a while.
At this moment, An En suddenly saw a long list of soil and blood mists appearing in the wide crowd. Something was bounced and shuttled across the ground at an unsightly speed.
After a moment, a roaring cannon sound came from the direction of the river behind him.
Long bloody roads were penetrated on the military formation, and some people fell to the ground, and the people around them shouted in horror and ran around.
The atmosphere of panic and chaos was spread in the army by those timid people, like a plague.
Some of the brave Zhenla warriors who were originally brave were not scared and remained firmly in place; but those slaves and some cowardly soldiers with incompetent leaders ran around and crowded, squeezing all the formations of the Zhenla army.
Another bombardment came, and the enemy's artillery could adjust its distance.
This time the artillery bombarded the depths of the Zhen La army.
An iron bullet rubbed the side of the elephant soldier, smashing the head of a soldier, and blood splattered in the air.
The elephant soldier was greatly frightened and suddenly started to rush westward.
There were chaotic crowds nearby, and the elephant soldier quickly knocked down the person. The heavy and huge elephant's feet stepped towards the soldiers on the ground. A tragic scream of hissing sound suddenly came from the other side.
An En was so angry that he didn't even see the enemy soldiers, and his army became like this mess.This battle is so frustrating and frustrating.
However, things have become like this, and Ann can do nothing.
Ann rushed to his army, which were all men he summoned from his territory, and he led his men to retreat to the direction of the camp.
Only when he arrived at the camp and was far away from the Ming army's naval guns could he send people to inform the nobles and leaders to restrain the army to reorganize them.
The battle seems to have not really started, but the Zhen La army has suffered heavy losses.
Ann led his army and retreated westward, corpses and wounded people screaming and calling for help could be seen everywhere on the ground.
Not only were there any losses caused by the shelling of ships and guns, but there were also many injured by elephants and their own people.
In the morning, the losses of the Zhen La Army must have been far more than that.Because the army was in chaos, many people would run away.Especially those slave soldiers who escaped and could not be caught for a short time.
Most of the chaotic soldiers may be able to gather together in the end, but it will take time.The military strength of the Zhen La Army will be greatly weakened in the near future.
An En returned to the camp and immediately dispatched a large number of guards and personal soldiers to find the generals of various departments and ask them to gather and rectify the army.
However, things failed again.
It is reported that on the tributary of the Tongnai River to the north, the Ming army had landed from the ship and was heading south!
When some nobles heard the news, they did not stop in the camp at all. They left behind various supplies such as tents, grain, and ran straight west.
While Ann was anxiously watching at the entrance of the Daying Village, he saw that the military flag given by the king was actually dirty on the ground, with footprints on it.
An En was furious and stood on the ground and cursed, cursing the nobles and tribe leaders, who were as timid as a mouse and cowardly and incompetent.
He rectified his troops in the camp, and finally summoned several nobles to wait for his orders.Everyone gathered their troops and decided to retreat westward and leave the battlefield first.
Now, even if An En doesn't want to escape, she can only do this for the time being.
The troops abandoned most of the baggage and had no time to pack up the tents, so the generals took the remaining infantry and elephant soldiers and turned northwest.
They need to move to Phnom Penh, the second largest city in Zhenla Kingdom, and cross the Mekong River nearby; before they can retreat to the Tonle Sap area and receive people from the core area of Angkor Thom in Zhenla Kingdom.
But before noon, An En's army met the Ming army.It was estimated that those enemy army soldiers landed on the north side of the Tongnai River tributary and finally intercepted a part of the Zhenla army.
The Ming people had no cavalry, and they seemed to be rushing to pursue them, and there were no such terrifying artillery.
The nobles under Ann suggested that everyone would scatter and escape and meet again when they arrived near Phnom Penh City.In this way, the enemy infantry had no choice but to deal with most of the soldiers of the real La army.
But of course this method is not the best. If the army runs away after defeat, the slave soldiers will take the opportunity to escape.By then, when the main force of the Zhenla Army returns to the royal city, even half of them will probably be there.
Ann personally stepped forward to observe the enemy's lineup.But between the rice fields and the bushes, the enemy troops formed a long column like a dragon.They were all infantry, without baggage, and the number of people was not large.
As a famous warrior in Zhenla Country, Ann has never been an indecisive person.
He decided decisively: We should gather our troops and repel this pursuer.Then he ordered all departments to gather troops and stop the escape.This way we will at least greatly reduce the losses.
The few nobles who were still following him were already scared by the unheard of events.
They believed that the Zhen La army was not an opponent of the Ming army. They ran here all the way, and their morale was also very low and they should not fight again immediately.
But Ann felt that he had great hope of repelling the enemy's pursuit with several times his troops.He decisively issued a military order.
So after a while, a nobleman secretly took his people away while An En was not paying attention.
Ann was very angry, but he did not change his determination.
His eyes were covered with blood, and both eyes looked red and very scary.
He was so excited that he could not control his voice, and his voice was a little hoarse: If you capture the enemy, you will be beaten to death. You must make the Ming people pay the price!
He personally went to the teams to boost morale and sent people to gather in the army.
After some rectification, Ann finally got a formation of thousands of people.
They chose a gentle slope, with the mountains behind them being woods.
The Zhen La army lined up here and prepared to counterattack the enemy columns coming from the northeast.
Archers were in the front, followed by only a dozen remaining battle elephants, and infantry were deployed behind the battle elephants.
An En adopted the familiar attack method of the Zhen La Army, first shooting with a crossbow, and then rushing with elephant soldiers to cover the infantry to fight.
An En was originally the main force of the army of Zhenla Kingdom, but the originally huge army was left with only thousands of people in front of him.He is determined to save his dignity here.
If people walk on this beach, it will obviously be very difficult and slow.
This will surely be the burial place of the Ming army.
Ann had already arranged a large number of crossbowmen to the front and approached the river beach.
