"Niu Roar Barbarian (Ailao) sent troops, Chen Chaoxin led the army to stop Niu Roar Barbarians, and was defeated and died, Chen Rixian had to abandon the Cham army and march west to resist Niu Roar Barbarian......"

When Li Luo got this news, he was immediately overjoyed.

"As expected, Ailao really sent troops! The person I am most worried about is Chen Rilian. Now that Chen Rixian is advancing westward, Chen Chaoxin is defeated and killed, and the Vietnamese army is reduced, and it is time to enter the army! ”

All the generals were very happy and said together: "The general is a last resort, and the famous generals from ancient times are nothing more than that." ”

Li Luo was really happy. Because he also received another message that cared him even more. The Tang army has already won the hands of Cham, and he has made a fortune again.

"Herald! Walk through the jungle and attack the fast state! Li Luo ordered.

For the Yuan army, Kuaizhou was the best to fight, and relatively speaking, it was conducive to cavalry operations. It is precisely because Kuaizhou is the easiest to be broken through that Chen Rixian is in charge himself.

However, in order to clean up the mess, Chen Rilian had to act like a firefighter, and after beating the Cham Po, he went to fight the bull roaring barbarian in person.

Speaking of Annan, there are still 300,000 or 400,000 troops, but since the two major defeats in Jiangbei, the most elite forbidden army is only 1780,000, and the rest are all township troops. In the face of the bull roaring man and the Champa robbery, Chen Rilian, who is the most skilled in soldiers, can only be rescued.

Because only Chen Rixian can solve the Cham and Niu Howler barbarians in the shortest possible time and end the embarrassment of the Vietnamese army's multi-front operations.

If other generals were replaced, such as a weaker general like Tran Chao Xin, who died in battle, the Vietnamese army would not only not be able to end the multi-front battle as soon as possible, but would even be constantly bloodied.

Chen Rixian hoped that Kuaizhou City would hold on for a while, and hold out until he defeated Nanyi and Xifang, and then return to the army to defend it.

Li Luo hoped to capture Kuaizhou before Chen Rilian defeated Xifang and returned.

As soon as Kuaizhou was broken, the entire Hong'an defense line was abandoned, and it was no longer possible to prevent the Yuan army from rampage through Yuezhong.

If Chen Rilian had rushed back before the fall of Kuaizhou, then it would have been much more difficult for Li Luo to capture Kuaizhou.

Chen Rilian is definitely the general that Li Luo dare not underestimate the most.

After staying for nearly ten days, the Yuan army was finally about to attack.

At the same time, Li Luo sent a letter to Shi Bi in the Jiangbei camp, asking him to start searching the jungle west of Anxing City and implementing the cage policy.

At this time, it is already April, the tide is steaming, the weather is hot, snakes and insects are rampant, and there are many miasma days.

However, to the surprise of the Vietnamese army, there was no outbreak of disease in the Yuan army, and there was no situation in which a large number of soldiers were unadaptable.

Compared with the previous two southern expeditions, the Yuan army led by Li Luo was not affected too much by the geography and climate.

This is also another important reason why the generals admire Li Luo.

It turned out that since entering Annan, Li Luo strictly forbade drinking raw water, and required that the water must be boiled in the form of a military order, and the grass ash powder was mixed to make light alkaline water.

Grass and wood gray water originally has the effect of sterilization and disinfection, regulating the stomach and intestines, dehumidifying and removing stasis, and it is also boiled water, which greatly inhibits the occurrence of water and soil adaptation.

The ancients used to drink raw water. This habit continued into the twentieth century. In particular, the soldiers who went out on the expedition and went out in the hot zone almost always drank raw water.

Can this not get sick?

The so-called unadaptation to water and soil is mostly because of this.

In the southern jungle area, the types and quantities of microorganisms far exceed those in the north, and the rivers and streams look clear and lovely, but in fact, there are a large number of microorganisms, insect eggs, and bacteria that are invisible to the naked eye.

The locals have long had antibodies, and it's okay to drink it, but once outsiders drink such water, they will be "unadaptable".

Why did the southerners go to the north, except for the cold winter, there is no. And when northerners go to the south, they are often unadaptable?

Here's the main reason.

The so-called miasma is actually not poisonous gas, but too much moisture in the jungle, too much gas to rot and ferment, and contains a large number of bacteria and harmful substances.

Moreover, mosquitoes in the southern jungle are like hemp, and they cannot be prevented, and mosquitoes are all carrying bacteria and viruses.

In this way, when the northern army without antibodies arrives here, there will be an "epidemic of epidemics".

Therefore, Li Luo took another trick and burned the fire.

Outside each tent of the camp, a fire must be burned. A large number of fires were burned, and although they were hotter, they also drove away the moisture.

Li Luo also ordered that when the army encountered a thick fog during the march, it was necessary to cover the mouth and nose with a damp cloth.

Another epidemic military camp was established. Anyone who fell ill because of this was sent to the epidemic barracks, which was a simple means of isolation.

After a few moves, the impact of miasma and soil adaptation on the Yuan army was greatly weakened.

This is clearly something that the Annamite did not expect. Even Chen Rilian thought that the Yuan army was beginning to adapt to the soil and water.

Therefore, the Yuan army's attack was fierce, and the next few days exceeded the expectations of all Annamite people. What made the Annan people even more unexpected was that there were tens of thousands of Vietnamese traitors with braided hair under Li Luo's command.

As the master of the Special Investigation Bureau, how did Li Luo not know the importance of secrecy? Under his strict defense, it was difficult for the Vietnamese army to find out the situation in the Yuan army. On the contrary, all the important towns in Annan have Li Luo's eyeliner.

As early as last year, the intelligence work of the Special Investigation Bureau against Annan was launched. From the imperial court to the army, as long as it is important news, Annan can't hide it from Li Luo.

There is a complete asymmetry in the intelligence of the two sides.

Li Luo gave an order, and the generals of the Vietnamese army led 40,000 new Vietnamese troops into the jungle first, and Li Luo personally led 100,000 yuan troops to march along the forest road opened by the Vietnamese traitor army.

Why don't you take the official road and go to the jungle?

Because the passes in the official roads were built in places that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Vietnamese army deployed heavy troops. Even if it is attacked hard, the casualties will not be small. And there is more than one pass, after capturing a few passes, the Yuan army is estimated to take tens of thousands of lives to fill it, how can it still have the strength to attack Kuaizhou?

If it's too uncountable, the good will not be good.

There will certainly be casualties in the jungle, but at least not as heavy as a hard pass.

On the second day of the fourth month, the Yuan army chose the Pulai Mountains and Forests as the direction, like a giant dragon plunging headlong into the reckless forest sea.

It was only at this time that the Vietnamese army was able to determine the direction of the Yuan army's march, which was the Pulai Mountains and Forests.

According to Chen Rilian's military strategy, once the direction of the Yuan army's advance is determined, all the mobile troops and horses in the entire Hong'an defense area must move and converge in the direction of the Yuan army's advance, and the Yuan army must not be allowed to form a troop superiority in a local area.

As the Yuan army entered the Pulai Mountains and Forests, the Vietnamese troops in the east and west were mobilized and slowly converged in the direction of the Yuan army, like a huge net.

After the Yuan army entered the jungle, the most vulnerable cavalry in the jungle was not majestic, and Li Luo himself was also protected by three thousand Tusi barbarians.

Once in the jungle, the originally fierce cavalry of the Yuan army was blinded. The Mongol army and the Tanma Red Army all became hesitant, while the Tusi barbarian soldiers and the Vietnamese traitor army, which were inconspicuous before, were still alive and well.

At this time, if the Vietnamese traitor army makes a rebellion, it will be a big trouble. Fortunately, Li Luo has recently adopted a series of measures, and it is difficult for the traitorous army to cause chaos.

The new Vietnamese army of Wanhu, the general Wu E, led 10,000 horses to the front, and he said loudly while hurrying: "Everyone be careful of the attack of the Chen army, be careful!" When the brutal and unkind Chen family court is overthrown, everyone will benefit, and at worst, they will be able to share the land of the princes! ”

The Chen family court is brutal and unkind?

That's.

Chen Taizong has only been dead for a few years and is a famous Ming monarch in the history of Annam.

This person is very promising, and his son Chen Huang is also doing a good job. To say that they are cruel and unkind is just an excuse for the traitor.

"Exactly! Since everyone has shaved their hair, they are Dayuan Heavenly Soldiers, but if you want to be a good soldier, you will always have that benefit! Another general chimed in.

Because of the hot weather, Wu E took off his helmet, stroked the shaved scalp on the top of his head, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, this shaving is really cool and tight." It's ugly, but it's not all good. ”

"Isn't it, otherwise how can you talk about the curled hair and scarf, the bad rules of the country, the braided hair, and the great Yuan Yazheng. General, for some reason, since shaving his hair and keeping braids, his subordinates seem to feel more brave and fearless. ”

Of course, these words of the two were heard by the supervisors who were installed in the new Vietnamese army. But these words are actually really the words of their hearts.

Once a person betrays his home and country, there is no bottom line for the degree of shamelessness, and without being instigated by others, they will find a lot of excuses for themselves.

The undulations of the jungle area are actually relatively gentle, not steep, and in some places even flat. However, due to the extremely lush vegetation, the dense vines and roses in the forest, the trees covering the sky, and the rotting leaves like mud, the movement of the army was very difficult.

Almost marching while opening the road.

The mountain mosquitoes in the forest are green and densely flying. Even the Tusi barbarians and the Vietnamese traitor army, who have long been surprised, are also very troublesome.

Fortunately, there are many people, and there are not many mosquitoes that everyone "gets".

All kinds of snakes, hanging from trees, coiled in grass, and in some places even clumps. Ants with big fingers, red centipedes with long chopsticks, nests after nests.

All this, the fierce Mongolian soldiers who watched it had goosebumps. These men from the north are really a little empty in their hearts.

But the approach of the Tusi barbarians is completely different.

Many brute soldiers directly grabbed the snake, broke open the snake's belly, and bloodily took out the snake gallbladder and swallowed it. He even bit off the head of the snake to drink blood, peeled off the snake's skin and stuffed it into his mouth to chew it vigorously.

There are also many barbarians who catch centipedes while marching, wear them together and take them away, and it is said that they are to be roasted and eaten.

All this not only made the scalp of the Mongolian soldiers numb, but also the traitorous army, and they were ashamed of themselves.

When it comes to jungle warfare, the most powerful is definitely not the Annan soldiers of Han descent, but the southwestern Tusi barbarians.

You know, the food of many brute soldiers is snakes and insects. Living in the hot and humid mountains for generations, their stomachs are not much worse than those of wild boars.

"It's really a tiger of the mountains and forests!" Li Luo couldn't help but say to Tusi Nonglang.

Although Nong Lang is a little complacent, he is also a little ashamed. As a barbarian nobleman, he himself can't be as cold as the barbarians under his command, just talk about centipedes, he can't swallow them anyway.

Although Tusi is the head of the barbarian clan, he is not the same kind of person at all because of his pampering and bitter barbarian people.

Seeing the performance of the Tusi barbarians, Li Luo couldn't help but feel more confident.

The birds and beasts in the forest have long been frightened and fled far away. A large python the thickness of a sea bowl was immediately killed by the brutes because it was a little slow to escape.

Soon, a snake gallbladder the size of an egg was sent to Li Luo.

Nong Lang smiled and said: "General, such a big snake gall is rare, the sons and daughters respect the general, and they want to dedicate this snake gall to the general." ”

Li Luo said: "Then thank you." He unceremoniously let the guards take over the heavy snake gall, and then generously rewarded a few brute soldiers.

Although such a big snake gall is a good thing, Li Luo is actually not uncommon. Because there are also many big pythons in Haidong Mountain.

Half a day after entering the forest, suddenly the team in front stopped.

It turned out that a swampy area was encountered in full swing. The swamp area is dozens of miles wide, and it will take at least two more days to go around, and you can only wade through.

Moreover, even if you go around, you will encounter other swamps.

"General, in front of you is the swamp river, and there are a lot of evil Jiao (crocodiles) in it, but it is not difficult to kill them. The quagmire is not too deep, only to the chest, and it can be walked through, but it is too dirty. Wu Er came to report.

Li Luo knew that the swamp couldn't be avoided, but he couldn't stand it if he had to endure the filthy and foul-smelling swamp mud. Who knows if there is rotten flesh in it, rotten bones, etc., it's disgusting to think about.

"General Wu, cut down trees and fill out a road, the army can't wade through the quagmire." Li Luo ordered.

Although this will delay half a day, it is the safest.

"No... Phew! The last general commands! Wu Er said, "General, in the jungle opposite the swamp river, there must be Chen Jun to defend it, they will not be too many, but the terrain is not good for me, please pay attention to it." ”

Li Luo nodded and said, "What the general said, this commander knows." Go ahead! ”

"Wow!"

Soon, tens of thousands of Vietnamese traitors were cutting wood together and then throwing the wood into the mud.

The quagmire was tumbling everywhere, and one by one, the evil Jiao (crocodile) more than half a foot long crawled out of the quagmire, poked out its hideous head, and then fled in panic by kicking the muddy water, bringing up a stench of extreme decay and disgusting.

The traitor army was not surprised, and they didn't bother to kill these evil Jiao, so they just threw wood to fill the road.

"General, if our army can't cross the jungle within two days, the army will definitely get sick." Nong Lang said in fear, he pointed to the Mongols and the Tanma Red Army, "Especially the warriors of the Northern Army, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it." ”

Li Luo turned his head and saw that the Mongolian soldiers were all sweating profusely, even if they had always been high-spirited, they were also silent at this time.

It's only been half a day in the forest, and the Mongol army is like this, if they can't get out of the forest in two days, what state will they be?

According to the distance, even if you only walk 30 miles in the forest in one day, you can go out in two days. But if there is a strong resistance from the Vietnamese army, it is a different matter.

Fortunately, the Vietnamese army did not know which direction the Yuan army would choose to march first, and the strength of the Vietnamese army was scattered throughout the Hong'an defense area, and the Yuan army had a local strength advantage in the areas along the march.

This is also the sadness of the defending side. No matter how many defenders you have, you don't know where the attackers are breaking through.

Tens of thousands of people cut down trees to fill the road, and half a day later, a wooden bridge several zhang wide was filled in the swamp river.

Then the Yuan army lined up in a long snake formation and crossed the swampy river.

Although the Vietnamese troops in the surrounding jungle have been paying attention to the movements of the Yuan army, they are completely unable to stop it. Although the total number of jungle soldiers of the Vietnamese army is large, there are only a few thousand people within ten miles of the vicinity, how can they be the opponents of the Yuan army?

Although the Vietnamese troops in other places had been notified, by the time a large number of reinforcements arrived, Yuan Kou estimated that he had already passed through the jungle.

No, we must delay the pace of Yuankou!

So, just as the vanguard of the Yuan army approached the opposite bank of the swamp area, a large group of Vietnamese troops appeared in the jungle, preparing to block the Yuan army from crossing the swamp river.

"Kill! Kill the Tartars! ”

"Huh... How can this Yuan Kou dress like our army? ”

"That's not right! They are not Tartars, they are Da Viet soldiers! ”

"Fart! It's not a Da Yue soldier or horse, although the armor is the same as ours, but it has braids! It's the Tartars! ”

"Seeing that the flag did not ... Loyal Yuan New Vietnamese Army! Damn, they lowered their tartars and shaved their hair and braided it! ”

"They've come down... Kill, kill them, traitors! ”

The shouts of killing came and went in the jungle on the other side, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses there were. The Vietnamese army used the jungle on the opposite bank as a cover and fired poisoned arrows at the vanguard of the Yuan army, which was about to go ashore.

"Ahh I've been shot! ”

"Damn it!"

"Kill!"

The vanguard of the Yuan army, of course, was the Yue traitor army, and when they saw the poisoned arrows in the jungle raining down, and heard the shouts on the other side to kill the traitors, they were also angry.

Wu E, who supervised the battle, raised his sword and shouted: "The number of Chen troops is not large, but it depends on the geographical advantage!" Don't shoot at them, rush ashore and fight in the woods! Kill! ”

"Kill! Rush up! "The generals and generals are all holding swords in their hands, forcing the surrendered army to rush to the shore.

The brigade of Xinyue soldiers shouted and braved the rain of arrows, although there were one casualties, but because the distance was only a dozen zhang, they quickly rushed forward.

They lowered the yuan because they were afraid of death, but after they shaved their hair, for some reason, they were not as afraid of death as before. Even, many Vietnamese traitors abandoned the wooden bridge, jumped directly into the quagmire, waded through the foul-smelling mud, and bravely rushed to the shore.

The Vietnamese army has only four or five thousand people on the other side, and although it occupies a geographical advantage, how can it really block the impact of tens of thousands of Vietnamese traitors? Immediately, he could only fight and retreat.

"Exterminate all Chen Jun!" A thousand-household-level Vietnamese traitor general shouted, he cut off the head of a Vietnamese soldier with a knife, blood splashed on his braids, and with a vicious and resolute expression, this moment looked like a real tartar.

"Kill! Kill the thief! "The Vietnamese army used the trees in the forest as a cover to fight with the Vietnamese traitor army, which was growing in number.

With the sudden increase in the number of Vietnamese traitors who went ashore and invaded the forest, the Vietnamese army was outnumbered, and even if they did not retreat from the battle, they were quickly besieged and killed.

In the jungle for several miles, the branches of the trees were shaking everywhere due to the fierce fighting, and I don't know how many trees were splashed with blood.

Many Vietnamese soldiers climbed the trees and condescendingly released arrows. And the Vietnamese traitor army was also red-eyed at this time, and they couldn't take care of any kindred feelings, and they killed mercilessly.

The first tragic battle of the Yuan army in the jungle actually happened between the Yue and the Yue people.

Li Luo was on the other side of the swamp river, he was surrounded by the generals and stars like the moon, sitting on a horse under the blue wolf battle flag, squinting his eyes and watching the battle with interest.

Due to the cover of the jungle, in fact, you can't see the battle at all, you can only hear the fighting. But just by listening to the sound of fighting, you know that the battle is fierce.

One by one, the generals of the Yuan army seemed to hear beautiful music, gloating, and overjoyed.

Because of the disparity in numbers, in less than a quarter of an hour, the fight was over.

Of the thousands of Vietnamese troops, the vast majority were besieged and killed, and only one hundred and ten escaped.

And the Vietnamese traitors also suffered thousands of casualties.

The Yuan army finally crossed the swamp river smoothly. As soon as you cross the swamp river, you will see villages in the shade of trees and small rice fields.

Li Luo knew that this was the village of the "forest people" in Annan. The forest tribes live in the jungle and are mostly indigenous, unlike the mainstream Annamite people.

"General, there are many forest people in this jungle, all of them are indigenous barbarians, but they are also the people of the Chen family, and they have dug a lot of traps and are ready to harass our army." Wu Er found Li Luo and reported, "The last general plans to kill them all."

Just made a war achievement, Wu E was very happy, and his heart of advice was also in full swing.

Li Luo said with a smile: "Wu Wanhu is so loyal to the Great Yuan, this marshal will definitely play the Ming Emperor and ask for credit for you." Even if it is a marquis, it is not impossible. Well, since you're familiar with this place, I'll leave this matter to you! ”

"No...... Phew! Wu Er said with great joy.

Subsequently, the Vietnamese traitor army searched the mountains and forests on a large scale, killing the natives in the forest, regardless of men, women and children, almost killing people on sight. The village houses of the forest people were all burned down by the increasingly ferocious Vietnamese traitor army.

There are more than 1,000 natives in the forest who were searched and killed.

The butcher's knife of the Vietnamese traitor army wiped out a radius of ten miles, and then the Yuan army camped in this bloody jungle.

The reason why I chose to camp here is because this jungle is more comfortable than other places because it has been inhabited by indigenous people, there are not many thorny vines, and there are fewer mosquitoes.

After all, I have only walked more than 30 miles today, and if it goes well tomorrow, I will be able to pass through this jungle.

In other words, as soon as tomorrow evening, the Yuan army will be under the city of Kuaizhou!

PS: It's too hot. Please lend me a peak of ice and snow in Tanggula Mountain to eliminate the scorching heat of this fire, and bring a piece of coolness to my dear book friends, O God.

Crab Crab Support!
