Chapter 103: Bai Tengjiang
Chapter 103: Bai Tengjiang
The Red River is different from other rivers.
Many rivers come near the mouth of the sea, and thousands of rivers will converge into one and then gush into the sea.
But the Red River is near the mouth of the sea, with thousands of branches, cutting the plain of the mouth into fragmented plains. These lands are lonely and difficult to defend, and it is also difficult for the attacking side to occupy one place as a foundation.
Therefore, the best way is to swim against the current.
In this way, the most important waterway is the Baiteng River.
There were three battles before and after the White Teng River. They were all battles that decided the fate of Annan. Now, the White Tengjiang River has once again become the place where the fate of Annam is decided. The Annan army was fighting against the Ming on the outside.
Once the Ming army can go straight to Thang Long City, and don't even have to take Thang Long City, the collapse of military morale will be enough to overwhelm Annan.
The straw that broke the camel's back didn't really need to be too heavy.
Of course, of course, Wang Ying also knows that Bai Tengjiang is famous. How can we not learn a lesson?
So, he prepared to attack Haiphong City first.
After the fire, all the Nanyang sailors have arrived.
Wang Ying recruited some men and horses from each ship from the Nanyang Naval Division, raised more than 10,000 people, and then gave Wang Yue and Dong Xing a document and asked them to come here by boat.
Speaking of which, Wang Ying's power is still above the two. Wang Ying has the title of Earl of Navigation. Needless to say, Dong Xing has no chance of being titled, and Wang Yue's achievements are enough. It's just that he lacks military exploits, as long as this war is successful, Wang Yue will have a knighthood.
After the fire, the Ming army attacked Haiphong City, thinking that it could be taken in one fell swoop.
Because Haiphong City is quite rudimentary, it is not the focus of Annam's business, which is also normal. The threat at sea in this era has not yet been raised to the strategic level.
Don't say, Annan, even in many places in Daming.
Annan's army was more likely to defend the course of the Red River than to coastal areas.
It's just that even so, under the condition that the Ming army used artillery, it took three days of fierce fighting to take Haiphong City, which was only guarded by thousands of people.
It turned out later that the soldiers who fought so tenaciously were the Thanh Hoa soldiers.
Hou Li was in Qinghua Faji.
During the Yongle period, Thanh Hoa was the base camp of Le Li. Even now, Thanh Hoa enjoys a special status in the political map of Annam. And the Qinghua soldier who was born in Qinghua is the old team of the Li family. True blue.
Therefore, he died in battle to the last soldier.
Wang Ying was greatly annoyed.
Without him, in three days, the suddenness of the attack was reduced. News has already come from the west that Thang Long City has moved.
If you want to go straight to Thang Long City, it is no longer possible.
You have to fight a battle on the Red River.
The decisive place of this battle is likely to be the White Tengjiang River.
Wang Ying in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. can only stop the coastal defense city, wait for the two armies to come, and then break the dragon.
And in Thang Long City.
In the palace, the armor is sonorous.
Li Sicheng has put on a suit of armor at this moment. Outside the main hall, there are countless armor soldiers, but they are the two armies of Jinyi and Jinwu, and they are also the last team of Li Sicheng, as well as the Qinghua soldiers who have just been transferred back from the south.
These tens of thousands of people are already Li Sicheng's last mobile force.
If Li Sicheng didn't have any worries in his heart. That's fake.
But he didn't expect the current situation, and it was also false.
Therefore, when he heard that the Ming army sailors were coming, his heart was very agitated, it was a kind of worry, expectation, and all kinds of thoughts mixed with feelings.
Li Sicheng has never thought about how the war between Daming and Annan should end.
For the Ming Dynasty, there may be many options to end the war with Annan, but for Li Sicheng, there is only one choice, that is, there is a decisive victory, so that the Ming people know that Annan cannot be humiliated.
That's the premise of everything else.
So where is this decisive battle placed?
There is only the White Teng River, only the White Teng River.
Decisive battle at Lang Son.
Li Sicheng has never been optimistic.
Although the Annan army and the Ming army fought a sea of corpses and blood, they did not give an inch, and the corpses accumulated, wanting to fill the river of poverty. Approaching the mountain of Gaoling. It's just that this battlefield, fundamentally speaking, is a collision of the national strength of the two sides.
In this situation, it is still more open and defensive, and it is not easy to win a decisive victory.
Only by letting the Ming army advance can there be a few exploits.
Going up by boat and going straight into Thang Long, this can shake Annam up and down, and the morale of the army and the people will be frustrated, and the defeat of Annam is just around the corner.
It's just that Wang Ying can think of it, can Li Sicheng think of it?
Li Sicheng wanted to use Shenglong as a bait to lure the Ming army to go deeper, so as to be annihilated in one fell swoop. With this big victory, it also shocked the Ming army and boosted morale.
Now, the Ming army is coming.
The emotions in Li Sicheng's heart can be imagined.
Generally speaking, any big war that can be fought must be attacked, or both sides have the will to do so. And now this is the case with this imminent war.
Li Sicheng stood in front of the imperial table at this moment, holding a brush in his hand, and wrote stroke by stroke on the rice paper: "There is a universe of its own, and the inherent rivers and mountains are inherent." The danger of the letter moat depends on Renjie to lay peace. Mengjin Meeting, Eagle Yang Ruolu. The battle of Weishui, the national warrior is like Han. However, the great victory of this river is idle by the thief of the king. The heroic style can be imagined, and the word of mouth is not published. Nostalgic for the ancients, the river is cheeky.
The line and the song said: The river is rolling, the waves are huge, and the dynasty is endless. Benevolence is famous. The bandits are all in the dark. The guest then sang and said: The two saints are clear, and Jiang Xi washes the armor soldiers. Hu Chen is not moved, and the sky is peaceful. Xinzhi: Not in the danger of Guanhe, but in Mojing of Yide. ”
This is the last paragraph of Annan Chen's famous Fu "Bai Tengjiang Fu". Among them, there are traces of imitation of Su Dongpo's "Red Cliff Fu", and even some people in later generations wrote "Hou Bai Tengjiang Fu" and Su Dongpo's "Red Cliff Fu" before and after, which complement each other.
But in any case, this is a famous chapter in the history of Annan, and it is the kind that Annan elementary school students have to memorize.
At this moment, Li Sicheng is exhorting himself with his Chinese characters.
Especially in writing "its own universe, inherent rivers and mountains, believe in the danger of the moat, rely on Renjie to lay peace." In one sentence, Li Sicheng only felt that his blood was rushing, his hair was open, and he secretly said in his heart: "Who else is me." ”
This "Bai Tengjiang Fu", first with the regular script to start the pen, and then the heart at will, Li Sicheng's heart blood churning, naturally flowing into the tip of the pen, from the Kai line, from the line and grass, and finally the dragon flying phoenix dance, like soaring.
If Zhu Qizhen is allowed to take a look, he will definitely be ashamed.
Zhu Qizhen wrote a word. The poison of later generations is too deep, and even the king of barbarians can't compare.
It's okay to write regular script, and it belongs to being able to read. As for the rest, it's even more confusing. It's unsightly.
Li Sicheng wrote the whole part, threw the pen like a knife, vibrated his armor, and pressed the sword out. Push the door and look. But I saw that outside the main hall, there were many soldiers, and I saw Li Sicheng come out.
Countless armor soldiers knelt down and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." "Thousands of people shouted long live, earth-shattering.
Li Sicheng slowly drew his sword, pointed at the sky with the tip of the sword, and said: "There is its own universe, inherent rivers and mountains, and it is more than the world, how can Beikou be involved." I worship the heroic spirits of my ancestors and ancestors, and fight to the death with Beikou, and you are willing to follow. ”
"May I die with Your Majesty."
"The more you will die with Your Majesty."
"The more you will die with Your Majesty."
The sound of Sanhe, not reverberating in Thang Long City. Li Sicheng turned over and led the crowd out, almost falling out of the city. In Thang Long City, except for some servants and servants, there was not a single soldier.
Li Sicheng's queen Ruan Shi watched from afar, Li Sicheng's back out of the city, and ordered to go down, and all departments in the palace prepared things to start fire.
Especially in her own palace.
If this battle is won, there is naturally nothing to say.
If this battle is defeated, the Nguyen clan will be ordered by Le Si Cheng to burn the palace even if Thang Long City cannot be burned.
Although there have been several great victories on the Baiteng River in the history of Annan, each time it was when Annan was in danger and threatened the country.
For no other reason, Thang Long City is only two or three hundred miles away from the Baiteng River.
It's only two or three hundred miles.
Li Sicheng has pressed all his own on top of this battle. The gap in national strength between the Ming Dynasty and Annam was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
Daming made a move on Annan, and Annan was exhausted and even began to gamble on the fortunes of the country. Although the outcome is undecided, there will not be a second ending.
