One west and one north, two princes, both were ambushed, what about the British duke in Annam?

Annam, Dobang Pass

At this time, the Ming army had already entered the city, and the city was in ruins, and many bamboo and wood houses were still burning with flames or filled with gunsmoke.

After the death of Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, the British Duke Zhang Fu temporarily took the post of general of Zhengyi, temporarily governed the three armies, and after some time, the Yongle Emperor issued an order, which was officially appointed as the general of Zhengyi, during which Zhang Fu, who had already made various preparations, immediately sent troops to the realm of Annam.

Zhang Fu knew very well that he was young and had little prestige, and the emperor did not immediately issue an order to be officially promoted to the post of general of Zhengyi after receiving the news of Zhu Neng's death, he must have some doubts about his ability, and the generals in the army would also have this kind of worry, so when Zhu Neng just died, he began to make various preparations for himself to be the main general.

He conscientiously collected all the military, political, and economic information about Annan, the complicated geographical situation of mountains and rivers, and the characteristics of Annan's use of troops, and paid attention to making friends with generals at all levels, maintaining good relations with them, and simulating the formulation of a military plan for attacking Annan.

This speed was beyond the expectations of all the soldiers, and everyone thought that he would have a process of understanding the inside and outside, and the Annan people were naturally no exception, so they were caught off guard. Zhang Fu sent troops from Guangxi and ordered Mu Sheng to send troops from Mengzi and brazenly enter the territory of Annan.

Annam Lai was panicked, and they sent their army and all men to defend with two million men. They also sent their cronies to garrison the most dangerous areas, and took advantage of the special environment of the jungle and wilderness to conduct guerrilla warfare, and they built countless defensive fortresses, dug trenches, and planted bamboo thorns in the trenches. The Vietnamese army, armed with poisoned crossbows, firearms, and boulders, hid in the jungle and deep in the battlefield, and the city fence was connected for more than 900 miles.

On the waterway, countless wooden stakes were dug along the coast to prevent the Ming army from landing, and at the same time, they took advantage of their advantages in water warfare to send countless warships to the Ming army, intending to inflict heavy losses on the Ming army on the water. Killing machines step by step on land, heavy troops gathered on the water, this is the most complex environment that the Ming army has never encountered, the longest strategic depth, and the largest number of people participating in the resistance.

In Li's opinion, their defense was impregnable, but they still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, and this Ming general, who had never heard of its prestige before. Before Zhang Fu set off, he had sent countless spies to infiltrate Annan, distributing leaflets everywhere, exposing the crime of usurping the throne of the Li family, and preaching that the division of the Celestial Empire was the rise and fall of the army, and at the request of the prince of the Chen family, to help the army and people of Annan, this trick really worked, along the way the people saw the Ming army coming, did not panic and escaped, and sent water and food to feed the army, and was very friendly to the Ming army.

Many of the civil and military generals of the Chen Dynasty in Annam gave up resistance completely, but joined the ranks of the Ming army, and the civil officials helped the Ming army manage the land and people they occupied all the way, and the generals led their troops to revolt, using their knowledge of Annam to act as the vanguard of the Ming army, attacking the camp and pulling out the village, recruiting An Paoze, and the Ming army was like a bamboo for a while.

On the land, there are the help of the Annan army who are also familiar with the grass and trees of Annan and are also good at jungle guerrilla warfare with the help of the Ming army, the countless death traps laid by the Li army have lost their effectiveness, and the Annan bow and crossbow that is not very powerful thanks to the toxin killing people is a very sharp weapon in jungle warfare, but because the Ming army has the attached Annan army, under their treatment, the number of casualties of the Ming army is also very small, the Ming army is like a bamboo, invincible, the battle of Pulai Mountain, the Ming army beheaded the Vietnamese army in a battle of 37,390 heads, and countless prisoners.

On the waterway, the two sides have two decisive battles in the Fuliang River, the first battle annihilated 10,000 Annan sailors, captured more than 100 warships, the second battle of Annam is to gather all the sailors' strength, as a result, the Ming army killed tens of thousands of Annan sailors, killed the Fuliang River was stained with blood, red, and captured Annan's officials Fan Yuanlan, Dali Temple Secretary Ruan Feiqing and other senior officials, which are all Li clan's cronies.

Subsequently, Zhang Fu's goal was directed at the Annan military town of Duobang Pass, after preparing the siege equipment, Zhang Fu ordered the siege of the city in the fourth watch, and the governor Huang Zhong had escorted the prince of Annan Chen back to China before, but was surrounded by the Annan soldiers, and watched them send people to rush into their own military camp, killing the Chen prince who was protected by themselves, and went away with it, which was a great shame, this time he acted as a vanguard, swore to snow this shame, and with the respect of the governor, he went into battle shirtless and waved the army in front.

His close generals, Wei Commander Cai Fu and others rushed to the front of all the soldiers, and the morale of the three armies was greatly boosted, and their courage was unstoppable, and in just a few hours, they broke through the Duobang Pass, which the Annan army thought was an impregnable military town, and smashed into the city.

Cai Fu took the lead in entering the city, and the Annan soldiers engaged in street battles, when the Annan soldiers were losing and retreating, they suddenly let out a shout, and they used their familiarity with the buildings in the city to flee in all directions, Cai Fu just advanced step by step, eliminated resistance, occupied the city, and was marching, suddenly heard a horn sounded, thinking that the Annan soldiers were going to launch a counterattack again, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to be on guard.

I waited for a while, neither saw the Annan soldiers rushing out, nor did I see the cold arrows and poisonous arrows shooting, and when I was confused, I suddenly felt the earth shake, and countless rough and powerful howls rushed up at night, and the two bamboo buildings in front of me were knocked down, and then the two giant elephants strode with their proboscis and strode over, and the elephant carried a boxy thing like a bamboo basket on its back, and used it as a cover, and someone hid inside to direct the activities of the war elephants.

This elephant is extremely huge, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, it is easy to hurt the vital point, the huge elephant foot in this alley only one foot down, afraid to trample a few Ming troops, the Ming army with bows and crossbows, short knives, spears under the destruction of this huge war elephant, had to retreat. A large area of the city that had just been conquered by the Ming army was quickly recovered by the Annan soldiers under the attack of war elephants.

A large number of thin and black Annan soldiers hid behind the war elephants, like soldiers relying on tanks to advance, seeing that the Ming army had no way to take the war elephants, they couldn't help but be proud, and kept saying something in Annan dialect.

At this time, Zhang Fu, Huang Zhong and others also entered the city, as soon as they heard this situation, Zhang Fu, who had been prepared, immediately sent a new army, the Annan soldiers were triumphantly driving the elephant forward, and suddenly many firecrackers poured out of the Ming military camp on the opposite side, the firecrackers fired together, the sound was like thunder, the rain of bullets poured down, the gunpowder smoke was filled, the war elephants of the Annan soldiers ate the gun and were in pain and uneasy, although they were unwilling to continue to advance under the constant urging of the animal tamer, and at this time countless lions poured out of the Ming military camp.

Seeing this scene, the war elephant immediately went crazy and turned back and rushed, four giant pillar-like elephant legs moved out, and the thin and small Annan soldiers were trampled into meat paste, followed by the war elephant Annan soldiers were stunned, and they didn't have time to react in a hurry, they were trampled to death by the elephants, and the Ming army chased after the elephants, slashing all the way to the past, and had been killing out of the multi-state pass, chasing dozens of miles, killing nearly 50,000 Annan soldiers, Annan famous generals Liang Minyou, sacrificial Bole, etc., were killed by the Ming army in this battle.

It turned out that Jian Ding, the general of Annan who belonged to the Ming Dynasty, knew the power of this war elephant in his own tactics, so after he was attached, he offered a plan to Zhang Fu, found the clever painter, and drew many portraits of male lions, the male lion was painted on the cloth, and then covered on the horse, the fire was fired, the smoke was billowing, and the war horse with the lion's face rushed out, looming and the lion was undoubted, and the war elephant array immediately did not collapse.

The military town of Annan Duobang Pass fell into the hands of Zhang Fu, who rode on a horse, was full of spirit, and ordered: "If Annan is afraid of this city, this city will be like a broken bamboo." The eldest husband reported the national merit, and it was today, and he ordered the three armies to take a short rest and continue to march. At the same time, report to the emperor again and ask for rewards for meritorious soldiers! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The drums and horns roared, and the people and horses were like a tide.

The Tatar cavalry attacked wave after wave from all directions, and with the courage of Qiu Fu and the elite of his department, they broke through in all directions, but they could not rush out.

The Tatar cavalry that came and went in the conflict was all over the snowfield, shouting and killing like a stormy wave, countless bones had fallen on the snow, trampled into mud, Qiu Fu sweated through his heavy clothes, blood stained his robes, the cone-shaped assault formation he organized had been disrupted by the Tatar army, and now it had become a complete melee, and even Qiu Fu's own soldiers were interspersed and divided by the pursuing and entangled Tatar cavalry, and they were scattered, and there was not much left.

Wucheng Marquis Wang Cong had been killed in battle, and Anping Marquis Li Yuan was wounded all over his body, with a broken arm, and was supported by several personal soldiers, following Qiu Fu's horse, like a fallen leaf in the cold wind, swaying.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

There were not many of the two thousand men and horses that Qiu Fu had brought out, and now there were less than thirty horsemen with him, his eyes were red, and he kept waving his knife, which had been cut to pieces, and it was full of flesh, and he didn't know how many people he had killed.

He repented! If you had listened to their advice earlier, you would have joined up with your own 100,000 soldiers, and with the strength of the Tatars, you would have dared to launch a decisive battle of 100,000 people.

He hates! Hate himself for not being consumed by profit, as the main general, every action is mixed with so many utilitarian purposes, if he can calm down a little and not be fascinated by the bait of Benjamin, how can he not see the slightest strangeness, being led by the nose step by step into the trap? On this snowy field, there are roads everywhere, even if there are 100,000 troops, it is difficult to form an encirclement, if it is not for his soldiers who are constantly chasing and killing day and night, no matter whether the people and horses are exhausted, why are they trapped here and can't break through?

He's a sinner!

"Kill!"

Qiu Fu slashed at the head of a Tatar cavalryman with a knife, the blade was rolled, almost like an iron shovel, it was almost like smashing the man's head, he was about to lift the horse and jump over the enemy's corpse, but the crotch of the BMW was tired from a long battle, and the horse stumbled and fell to the ground at once, and threw Qiu Fu out at once.

Qiu Fu rolled on the ground a few times, barely stood up, only to hear a ghostly "whin", a Tatar cavalry who saw the opportunity to miss rushed up, and the scimitar in his hand had already slashed down in the air like a match.

"Break out! The three armies quickly withdrew, passed through Liaodong, and returned to Guannei! ”

The soldiers who were desperate for rescue were all entangled by the Tatar soldiers and could not be approached, and Qiu Fu gave his last order as commander while swinging his sword.

The Tatar soldiers borrowed the horse's momentum, the strength was infinite, three knives in a row, Qiu Fu stumbled a step after each knife, three knives down, Qiu Fu's arms were weak, the knife flew away, the Tatar cavalry Senhan fierce sword followed like a shadow, with the thunderous wind swept wildly, Qiu Fu could not retreat, he finally glanced at the subordinates who fought in the bloody country, and shouted: "I hate so much!" ”

The sound fell, the head rose, and the blood rose to the sky!
