Chapter 477 The Cui family fled, and the army was destroyed!
The tens of thousands of rebel troops that the head of the Cui family mobilized with all his efforts and risked the lives of his entire clan melted in an instant like ice and snow meeting boiling water in front of a regular army like the Fifth Army Camp.
Even the thousands-strong Cui family army that he relied on as his core was directly overwhelmed by the soldiers of the Fifth Army Camp...
Those direct descendants of the Cui family who led the army were killed and surrendered. Facing the well-organized and powerful Fifth Army Camp, almost no one could escape.
When the head of the Cui family rode on a horse and fled toward his Wubao in a panic, his heart had almost sunk to the bottom and was extremely cold.
"It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense at all..."
He was riding on a horse, surrounded by a group of servants, and fled with his eyes confused, still muttering to himself:
"Why are these officers and soldiers so powerful? It shouldn't be. Didn't they suffer a lot of losses in Mobei?"
As a local wealthy family, the head of the Cui family has always believed that the strength of the Ming Dynasty's official and military forces was the strongest in the border army, followed by the Beijing camp, and the weakest in the garrison.
Therefore, when he secretly trained his family's "elite soldiers", he also consulted some generals who led the troops. According to the so-called border army's training subjects and methods, he always felt that his family's soldiers would not be able to fight even if they encountered real soldiers.
The Ming Dynasty's border troops should also be capable of fighting.
But now, why has it turned into such a disastrous failure?
In fact, this guy didn't understand at all that the so-called "border army generals" who taught him how to train the Cui family soldiers were just rubbish removed from the abolition, and were placed in the three major battalions of the Beijing Army.
Today’s generals are not worthy enough to carry shoes...
In addition, the three major battalions have experienced Zhu Gaojie's rigorous training and are equipped with the latest developed weapons and armor. They are no longer what they used to be and can be called the strongest army in the world!
In the eyes of the soldiers of the Fifth Army Camp, some of the new recruits who were trained according to the old methods and had never even seen much blood were just like a plate of food...
And after the core is defeated, no matter how much momentum you have made before and how many people you have coerced, it is nothing more than a phantom of a bubble. It only takes a light poke and it will burst in an instant!
Several servants protected the head of the family and fled southward. At least there were several forts in Pingyang where they could temporarily stay in order to make a comeback.
After all, there are several other big families outside who are almost revolting together, so there is still a chance.
The head of the Cui family looked back and saw thick smoke billowing in the distance and a mess. He couldn't help crying from his heart, and his face was full of bitterness:
"Alas, many years of planning have been ruined in one day! Zhuzi!"
"I will never let you go, Dog Emperor!"
While he was gnashing his teeth and cursing, he unexpectedly noticed that a group of Ming army cavalry seemed to be galloping towards him in the distance. Suddenly, the souls of the dead appeared and he was extremely panicked:
"Quick, run, run away!"
…
After cleaning the battlefield, the general of the fifth military camp received the news that the head of the Cui family had escaped quickly and could not be caught.
"Huh? What are you doing?"
When the guerrilla general heard this, he immediately frowned and felt a little dissatisfied:
"It's just an old man and you couldn't catch him?"
Although in his opinion, this old man has no ability and basically cannot make any waves, but since His Majesty has given orders, he must do it to perfection.
What's the point of leaving a tail?
The general on the side smiled and said:
"General, it doesn't matter. What use can such a rich country man do if his clan troops have been dispersed?"
"Most likely he just fled back to his hometown, hid in Wubao and tried to resist."
"Didn't His Majesty ask the Ministry of Industry to allocate a batch of new direct-fire cannons to us, just for testing..."
Mentioning those new artillery pieces, the guerrilla general immediately thought of this and couldn't help but nodded:
"You are right. Since His Majesty has approved these artillery pieces for us, he must use them for a good test firing so that he can give an answer to the Ministry of Industry when he returns."
"Send the order. We will not enter Taiyuan City. We will leave a hundred people behind to cooperate with the local magistrate and others to clean up the mess."
"After the large forces have been reorganized, they will immediately march south to completely eliminate the Cui family!"
"yes!"
After the fifth army camp defeated the rebel army, they continued southward, and people in Fucheng were amazed by it.
Many officials had only had contact with guardsmen before, and mistakenly believed that the strength of the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers was very average. Coupled with the civil and military system, they looked down upon military generals and the army.
This time, the Cui family suddenly launched a rebellion and defeated the guards in Shanxi Prefecture one by one, forming a huge coercion. These officials were frightened and had a very low opinion of the strength of the official army.
However, the powerful strength of the fifth military camp shocked these officials!
The tens of thousands of rebel troops with such a huge momentum were actually so vulnerable in front of the Fifth Army Camp!
The shining sharp armor and the strong and tall soldiers made the officials on the city wall shine!
However, the generals seemed to look down upon them. After the rebel army was destroyed, they did not even come to the city to pay their respects...
"Humph," the governor of Shanxi said with a tigerish face and shouted angrily at his subordinates:
"What are you thinking about?"
"The others are the Beijing Army! They are His Majesty's personal guards! They are the commander of the Beijing Camp of the third grade!"
"Don't think you are superior just because he holds the title of guerrilla general. He is a serious official!"
"Now that your Majesty is very civil and military, don't think that your status as a civil servant is so great!"
"If it hadn't been for the help from the Beijing camp, we would have died long ago without a burial place!"
After angrily scolding his subordinates, the Shanxi governor calmed down a little and began to arrange various affairs.
"Please cheer up this mansion!"
"Those who are cooperating with those who stay in the Beijing camp must get everything done, otherwise you will be punished and I won't be able to help you!"
But in Pingyang County in the distance, everything was in chaos at this time.
There was no way, the Cui family had its roots in Pingyang. When they started, they captured the local magistrate and imprisoned them, defeated the local guards officers and soldiers, and hijacked a large number of people.
Now that the situation was defeated, the head of the Cui family fled back to his Wubao in panic, hiding inside and trying to fight to the end. How could the others not panic?
However, the Fifth Army Camp that followed them paid no attention to the chaos in Pingyang County. In addition to sending a few small teams to restore order in the city, the remaining troops directly surrounded the Cui family's Wubao.
Then he displayed the curved thunder cannon newly developed by the Ministry of Industry!
