As a steady party, Su Xiancheng did not want to take the initiative, but the generals said it was clear that they had a strong desire to fight. Su Xiancheng thought about it and felt that what these generals said made sense.

The chieftains and local tyrants in Lingnan are actually very cunning and treacherous. They generally do not do things without obvious benefits. Even if they use money to bribe them, it is hard to say whether they will take the initiative to cooperate with Nanyue.

But if the South Vietnamese army wins the battle and defeats the Ming army, then this news will definitely stimulate the group of guys who don’t see the rabbit and don’t show off their eagles. It may be possible to instigate the chaos in Lingnan. South Vietnam can still take advantage of the situation and take the opportunity to make a lot of benefits.

After thinking about it, he thought it was good to do this. Su Xian sincerely agreed to the request of Chen Gu, the powerful general under his command, and handed him over 10,000 troops, asking him to lead these 10,000 troops to move closer to the Danan Pass and lead the Ming army out to fight.

Then, defeat the Ming army through field battles, build up the confidence of the South Vietnamese army, overwhelm the last concern for the Ming Kingdom, attack Danan Pass, and then officially enter Lingnan and begin to expand territory.

Not to mention competing for the Central Plains, at least we must realize Zhao Tuo’s achievements back then?

By moving Lingnan, Nanyue became a stronger regime than Zhao Tuo back then, confronting the Central Plains dynasty through the Five Ridges, achieving great achievements that his predecessors had never achieved.

What kind of martial arts is that?

Against this background, the Ming army and the South Vietnamese army launched an inexplicable encounter more than 20 miles south of Danan Pass.

It was a slightly flattering place. Relatively speaking, the Ming army had a lower terrain and the South Vietnamese army had a slightly higher terrain.

Nanyue general Chen Gu observed the appearance of the Ming army at a high place and found that the Ming army was well-shaped, with distinct armor and flags flying, and looked like an elite army, which was quite moved.

"With such a military appearance, it's no wonder that the Ming army is an elite army."

After praising him, he also felt a little strange, because just looking at it, he felt that Ming Jun did not seem to be troubled by humid climate and miasma, but instead looked like he was not affected much.

Is the Ming army deliberately hiding their infected soldiers, or are they really not affected?

Chen Gu thought for a moment and felt that he was condescending and fighting at home should not be the worrying side, so he decided to arrange the army to launch an attack.

The South Vietnamese army had quite a bit of the battle structure of the Central Plains army, including archers, hand-to-hand combat troops and a small number of cavalry. They were good at using terrain to fight and were not weak in field battles. With a command from Chen Gu, he ordered the army to change formations in an orderly manner and prepared to launch an active attack.

On the other hand, Zhao Yucheng personally led the troops to fight. He observed the lineup of the South Vietnamese army and found that the South Vietnamese army was still good, but the military equipment was more than one level worse than the Ming army, and it was basically not much different from the situation that the siege Tan knew.

The elite hand-to-hand combat troops have a very good batch rate, the quality of steel armor is also good, and the weapons are also quite good.

Archers and cannon fodder troops generally lack steel armor, or use local materials, mainly rattan armor and leather armor, only protecting key areas, and a considerable part of their bodies are exposed.

Only elite troops have formal military uniforms, and other troops wear anything, and there are many shirtless ones.

The soldiers have different ages, heights and physical fitness. Not only are there young and strong soldiers, but there are also veterans who are obviously older than they see at first sight.

All in all, this is a standard feudal army.

No matter how good such an army is, its foundation is here, and the upper limit is locked.

Zhao Yucheng was confident. Seeing that the South Vietnamese army was about to change its formation and launch an active attack, he felt unhappy and immediately ordered the artillery troops to come forward and prepare to give them a round of ruthlessness.

Obviously, the South Vietnamese side has not yet known what the Ming army's artillery and muskets exist.

Through some folk channels, the South Vietnamese court heard that the Ming army had powerful firearms, but because it was separated from the masses, the South Vietnamese court disdained this and ignored it, so it knew very little about the new Ming army firearms.

In their impression, the firearms were still in the state where the Song army was equipped with firearms.

Listen to a sound.

Sometimes it is because of the humidity, you can't even hear the sound.

What is the use of a firearm that can't even sound?

Use it to scare people?

Chen Gu believed that the South Vietnamese army had everything they should have, and did not bother to have anything they should have, so he was prepared to take the initiative and ordered the front-line troops to form a formation and move forward to a certain distance, and then prepare to shoot arrows to launch a strike on the Ming army.

As a result, Chen Gu learned that some strange black tubes appeared on the Ming army. These tubes were mounted on the car and could be pushed. They were quite long and large. There were soldiers holding fires, which looked like firearms.

Regarding the inquiry of his subordinates "how to deal with it", Chen Gu thought for a while and decided to speed up his advance, cover the attack with arrows, and ignore the firearms.

"Although the firearm is loud, it is small, and it is not enough to threaten our army. I will be told that I will order it and continue the attack according to the established plan!"

The general's order was absolute. The South Vietnamese army did not hesitate and continued to act according to the established plan. The army formation steadily moved forward, and the crossbowmen were ready to fire arrows.

Then a deafening roar suddenly sounded, and iron bullets wrapped in scorching air flow drew a beautiful arc and suddenly attacked the South Vietnamese army.

The soldiers of South Vietnam were not prepared for any thought or action, and stared blankly as the black iron bullets were bombarded with scorching air currents. The next moment, everything in the world was reversed.

Just one round of bombardment, the momentum of the South Vietnamese army was disrupted and then fell into self-disturbance. At the same time, the Ming army formation began to advance and bravely moved forward. The crossbowmen and musketeers in the army formation successively launched attacks on the South Vietnamese army formation.

Arrows were like rain, and rows of musketeers shot out balls of smoke.

For a moment, blood splashed everywhere in the South Vietnamese army formation, and screamed endlessly. The broken limbs and arms were occasionally interrupted by lead from the human body, and then the blood was spurted out from the wound.

Some of the badly lucky South Vietnamese soldiers were even shot in the head with lead and half of their heads were shot. The scene was similar to hitting watermelon with a baseball bat.

The Ming army formation was advancing step by step, while the South Vietnam army formation quickly fell into collapse. The living people shouted in horror and turned around and ran away. The injured people made shrill screams, lying on the ground and rolling around, not wanting to die, but they couldn't survive at all.

All this happened too fast, and the Ming army's army was advancing too fast, and Chen Gu didn't react. He didn't know why the elite main battle under his command were defeated so quickly.

He really had no time to react, because the retreating defeated soldiers had already begun to attack his central army, causing a small chaos.

Just now, another deafening roar was heard, and iron bombs wrapped in scorching air suddenly arrived, blasting his central army into a blood pit, causing the central army to be greatly shaken and fall into a semi-collapse state.

The Ming army's advance momentum was almost unstoppable.

Chen Gu, who was shocked, came to his senses because of his subordinates' hard shaking. Faced with his subordinates' anxious inquiries, Chen Gu suddenly widened his eyes and shouted loudly.

"Cabinet attack! Attack! Attack quickly!!!"

He realized that if he continued, he might not even have the potential to reorganize the military formation and gain a foothold. No matter what method Ming Jun used to attack him, he must buy time for himself now.

Cavalry is the last hope.

But he didn't have many cavalry, and if a wave of charge was useless, he would probably have to explain it here.

He could only expect his cavalry to be powerful enough.

But the Ming army's cavalry was obviously more powerful than him.
