Although the Ming army did not use cavalry as its main combat power when it went south, the Ming army also retained a certain amount of cavalry as its mobile combat power.

After the South Vietnamese cavalry attacked, Zhao Yuzhen ordered the Ming cavalry to attack and kill the South Vietnamese cavalry.

The huge gap in combat experience and combat effectiveness between the two sides was reflected. The South Vietnamese cavalry were soon divided and surrounded by the Ming cavalry and were all annihilated, and they failed to save their failure.

Then the Ming army formation directly advanced to the large formation of the Central Army in South Vietnam. The smoke generated by the coercion was shrouded in the battlefield, and the battlefield was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Half an hour later, the encounter ended.

The Ming army wiped out about 10,000 South Vietnamese troops with a force of 20,000 troops, including more than 3,000 people killed and more than 6,000 people captured. All the military supplies they carried became the spoils of the Ming army, and the Ming army gained a lot.

Later, based on the identification of the captured South Vietnamese soldiers, the body of his chief general Chen Gu was found among a pile of corpses wearing general armor.

Chen Gu had three leads in his body, but because his armor was very good, the two leads hitting his chest were not shot in. They were blocked by the armor, which might have caused him internal injuries.

The only thing that hurt was the lead that broke his calf.

So he died, died on the battlefield, and together with his personal soldiers, he was killed by collective shooting of the Ming army musketeers. His body widened his eyes and his mouth opened, looking as if he was dying with his eyes open.

Zhao Yucheng looked at his body speechlessly, rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"I looked so powerful that I thought I could fight, but that was the end? I dared to take the initiative to attack? I didn't know what Yelang meant by being arrogant before, but I learned it today."

After saying that, Zhao Yucheng asked someone to dig a hole and buried the bodies of these guys, then took back the troops to Da Nan Pass to rectify them, and then prepared to send troops to attack Lang San.

After understanding the field capabilities of the South Vietnamese army, Zhao Yucheng and the Ming army commanders and fighters' silence of tension, worries and other emotions were wiped out, and instead angered.

Very annoyed.

A group of spicy chickens actually made them worry about this and that. Zhao Yucheng even made a battle plan for how to return to Danan Pass if the war is unfavorable. Now many people think this plan is very sarcastic.

Zhao Yucheng didn't think so. He felt that this plan must be done at any time and no matter what enemy he faced, everything was like what Su Yonglin said.

"Now we can feel annoyed and mock the perverted people, and there is no lack of the credit for this plan."

This sentence reminded many cadres.

Having said that, everyone's annoyance did not disappear. You should be angry or be angry, and you are still very angry.

So they suggested that the Battle of Lang Son would be a battle of encirclement and annihilation, and that these brave frogs in the well should take a good look at what the real army is and what combat effectiveness is.

Zhao Yucheng is invincible.

So the Ming army quickly rectified its troops and attacked towards Lang Son.

On the other hand, Su Xiancheng was shocked when he learned that Chen Gu and the 10,000 vanguard army had been wiped out. He had not done anything yet, so he immediately ordered the combat plan to be cancelled.

The entire South Vietnamese army changed from proactive attack to comprehensive defense operations. No army could leave the previous commanding high defense points without authorization. Anyone who left without authorization would be engaged in military law.

Without orders, you can only defend the enemy and not take the initiative to attack. No matter how the Ming army challenged, you will never take the initiative to attack and fight against the Ming army in a field.

The news that Chen Gu and his army were wiped out not only greatly shocked Su Xiancheng, but also shocked the South Vietnamese generals in Lang Son region.

Chen Gu was also a powerful general and a powerful general. He charged forward on the battlefield and fought many victories and had outstanding military achievements. Su Xiancheng relied on him very much. Now that he was dead, the army was wiped out. The kitten that fled back told the Ming army's [violence] in tears.

What kind of terrifying iron pipe firearms, terrifying individual handheld firearms, terrifying military advancement, and the sense of deterrence that cannot be shaken no matter what.

Powerful, powerful and unshakable, and powerful and invincible, this is their intuitive feeling.

After hearing this, Su Xiancheng had many thoughts in his mind, but he still ordered all the defeated soldiers to be arrested and killed, because they escaped at the last minute and are still in trouble with the morale of the army.

Later, he made public remarks, saying that Chen Gu's failure was because of underestimating the enemy, because he was too proud and complacent, and too pursuing a complete victory, so he was surrounded by the Ming army and could not escape, and eventually died.

Although the Ming army was powerful, the South Vietnamese army was not unable to fight against them. The main reason for the failure was that Chen Gu underestimated the enemy and did not obey his orders.

All the mistakes are in Chen Gu, not in us, and the Ming army is not as powerful as we imagined. Don’t panic, everything can be saved.

Through the propaganda power in the army, Su Xiancheng tried his best to appease the morale of the army and the generals, but he had already had some bad premonitions. After careful thinking, he wrote a secret letter to Li Tianzuo of Shenglong City, and asked someone to send it to Li Tianzuo secretly.

The content of the letter was very simple. He believed that the Southern Vietnamese court had seriously misjudged the strategic situation of the Ming Dynasty and seriously misjudged the combat capabilities of the Ming army.

He knew Chen Gu's ability. According to the combat process told by the defeated soldiers, he also knew that Chen Gu had tried his best and fought to the death with all his might, but he died in the end.

It is not only the unpredictable new firearm of the Ming army, but also the strong hand-to-hand combat capability of the Ming army. This combat capability directly shows the health of the Ming army's soldiers.

Although they don’t know why, it is obvious that they are not affected by the climate and epidemics, and still maintain a considerable degree of strong combat effectiveness.

The South Vietnamese army cannot face the powerful combat power head-on.

He now decided to use his existing military power and terrain to launch an arduous defending battle in Lang Son. If there is a problem with this defending battle and he cannot win, then Li Tianzuo must be prepared to evacuate from Shing Long City.

From Lang Son to Shenglong City, there is a flat horse and no danger to defend. You can only fight a field battle with the Ming army. This is too dangerous.

Su Xiancheng didn't want to do this, but he always told him that it was very necessary to do this.

After the secret message was sent out, Su Xiancheng began to do his best to arrange defense, striving to achieve a defensive victory in the Lang Son area. No matter how bad it is, it must be delayed until the Ming army's logistics is exhausted. Lang Son must not be discarded, otherwise the founding of the South Vietnamese country would be shaken.

However, his idea was shattered after the Ming army arrived in Lang Son and launched an attack.
