Verses 437 and 438 Soldiers descend on the city

"Tonight, the Vietnamese army will definitely attack our army's camp at night, and when it is arranged like this......" After setting up camp on the spot, Li Luo told the generals to guard against the Vietnamese army stealing the camp.

In the jungle, it was night again, and the Vietnamese army had a great advantage, and if they were negligent, the Yuan army might bomb the camp.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the generals made their own arrangements at the moment.

The Vietnamese army from all over the country gathered more than 20,000 people at this time, and the highest military rank was named Chen Xian, which was the Chen Dynasty clan with the title of marquis.

In the middle of the night, it was estimated that the Yuan army was already asleep, and Chen Xian came to steal the camp from the east, west, and south. The Vietnamese army carried fire oil and sulfur and prepared for a fire attack.

Although it was rainy for days and the climate was humid, there was fire oil and sulfur, and the fire attack camp tent could still be effective.

The tent of the Yuan army camp is in the jungle, as long as you touch it in and set it on fire, wait for the fire to be together, and discipline the Yuan army to look good.

Although Chen Xian is not a good general, he is not an idiot, of course, the Vietnamese army will test it in advance, beware of the Yuan army has already laid an ambush.

Then, after several careful investigations, the news obtained was that although the Yuan army was on guard, there should be no ambush in the jungle outside the camp, and there were even many bird calls.

More than 20,000 Vietnamese troops walked in the jungle in the dark, not daring to light the lamps and trying not to make a sound. However, because of the number of people, there was still a rustling sound in the jungle, like the tide hitting the shore, and the spring silkworms gnawed on the mulberry.

The sound was accompanied by the chirping of night birds in the jungle, adding to the mystery and gloom of the dark night in the mountains and forests.

Seeing that the dense camp tent of the Yuan army was in front of him, Chen Xian suddenly regretted it a little.

He looked at the bonfire, like a starry enemy camp, and suddenly remembered a word of advice from Chen Rilian, the king of Zhaowen, many days ago.

"If Yuankou stays in the jungle at night, don't rashly attack the camp. Li Luoliang will also, can An be careless? There must be deception. ”

Chen Xian thought of Chen Rilian's advice, and wanted to withdraw from the army. However, he heard the endless chirping of birds, but he was unwilling to retreat. If there was an ambush in the Yuan army, the birds would have been scared away, why would they still be calling?

Wrong!

Chen Xian suddenly thought of a strange one, more than 20,000 people touched here, why were the birds still chirping nearby?

It's dark under the lights!

Fooled!

Just as he was about to give the order to abandon the attack on the camp, suddenly a gong sounded in the dark jungle, and suddenly there was a "boom", and I don't know how many big trees were burning.

At the same time, Yuan troops draped in branches jumped from the canopy, and at a glance, it seemed to be everywhere.

"Knock knock!" In the camp of the Yuan army, a large group of soldiers and horses also rushed out, shouting and attacking the forest.

Sure enough, there was an ambush! Regret not listening to King Zhaowen!

Chen Xian was shocked and shouted loudly: "There is an ambush!" Fight and retreat! ”

"Ahh

It turned out that before dark, Li Luo sent 20,000 Tusi barbarians to choose the surrounding leafy trees and climb to the canopy to hide. That's not all, many of them still carry fire oil, once the Vietnamese army enters, they light the big tree to illuminate, and then jump off the big tree to kill the enemy.

Many of the brutes were hunters, and some of them could learn to chirp from birds and beasts. These were singled out by Li Luo and specially created a shout to attract the Vietnamese army to go deeper.

The brute chooses large trees that are easy to hide and hide. The Vietnamese army sneaked in the middle of the night, did not dare to light the lamp, the jungle was blind in the dark light, where can you see the brute soldiers hiding in the canopy of the big trees?

Chen Xian couldn't have imagined that Yuan Jun would secretly hide in a big tree in advance.

Therefore, unconsciously, they were cut off from the back, but they were ignorant of it. It wasn't until the trees where the brutes were hiding were set on fire by the oil that they understood what was going on.

I don't know how many big trees were set on fire together, and the jungle within a radius of several miles was as bright as day, and Chen Xian's more than 20,000 Vietnamese soldiers were suddenly exposed to the forest fire, and there was nothing to hide.

These men who belonged to the mountains jumped off the canopy, silently brandished their bright swords and guns, and pounced fiercely at the Vietnamese army, cutting off the retreat of the Vietnamese army.

In just one battle, it can be seen that even if they are all armies that are good at jungle warfare, they are also strong and weak.

Obviously, the Tusi barbarians were better at forest warfare than the Vietnamese army, and they were also more fierce and tenacious. You must know that due to the high altitude of the southwest mountains, the environment is harsher than that of Annam, and the living conditions are more difficult. The fighters from this kind of place are, of course, stronger than the individual combat strength of the Vietnamese army.

In the camp of the Yuan army, tens of thousands of Vietnamese traitors who were familiar with jungle operations also rushed out and attacked the jungle from three directions.

The Vietnamese army had only more than 20,000 people, and was outnumbered by the front and rear, and suddenly fell into a catastrophe.

The Vietnamese traitor army with braided hair, under the supervision of the general, spoke Chinese with an Annan accent, shouted and rushed to kill, and it was also very fierce.

"They are Yue people! Damn it! Unexpectedly, he was captured... Kill! Chen Xian saw that so many enemies were all Yueren, and they were still wearing Dayue armor, but they had braids, and they were extremely fierce and waved their knives and arrows at their side, and they were immediately furious.

"Traitor! Kill! ”

"Who is the traitor... Go to hell! ”

The Vietnamese army and the Vietnamese traitor army were suddenly red-eyed, and they were strangled together while scolding each other. And the Tusi barbarians also silently rushed to kill the Vietnamese army, flexible as a monkey in the jungle, fierce as a wolf.

"Puff puff..."

"Ahh

"Kill—"

The jungle was full of firelight, terrible cries and screams, and the sound of sharp blades entering flesh resounded, adding countless tragic and bloody things to the night.

Fortunately, the jungle was damp, and only a few large trees were burning, otherwise the whole jungle would have burned.

Seeing that the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties under the siege and slaughter of the Yuan army, which had a numerical advantage, and the number of soldiers was drastically reduced, Chen Xian regretted it and wanted to kill himself.

"Hate me!" Chen Xian's teeth were crushed, and he fought desperately under the support of his own soldiers.

"Junhou, let's go! Otherwise, it will be too late! A few pro-soldiers supported Chen Xian, and another group of pro-soldiers from the Hou Mansion opened the way, hoping to break out of the encirclement.

Chen Xian sighed, stopped struggling, and didn't care about his subordinates at the moment, and broke through to the east with his own soldiers.

But he was immediately stopped by a group of Vietnamese traitors, and one of the leading generals, Chen Xian still felt familiar, and when he looked at it by the firelight, he immediately recognized it as Fan Bi.

Fan Binai is the commander of the left guard of the Eastern God Army, the general of the forbidden army, and the official residence. It was not surprising that Chen Xian knew him. However, Fan Bi, like Wu E, is now also a loyal Yuan Xinyue army.

"Hahaha, Xuanhuahou, it turned out to be you! Well, great! Fan Bi's face was covered with blood, and the knife was also covered with blood, plus two small pigtails hanging down on his ears, which looked extremely hideous in the light of the fire.

"Fan Bi! You rebellious thief, you dare to betray Dayue and surrender to Meng Yuan! What a rebellion! Chen Xian's eyes were red.

Fan Bi snorted coldly, "What Da Yue?" It's not your Chen family's world! What qualifications does Chen have to be the Son of Heaven? It's just recklessness. Your Chen clan usurped the Li clan and replaced him, aren't you a chaotic minister and thief? ”

"Dog thief... Kill! Kill you Tartar lackey! Chen Xian couldn't help but roar and pounced.

"Kill!" The Vietnamese traitor army under Fan Bi also swarmed up and surrounded Chen Xian and his own soldiers.

"Poof... Poof..."

In a matter of moments, Chen Xian's own soldiers were killed and wounded, and he himself was escorted to Fan Bi covered in wounds.

Fan Bi was about to be persuaded to surrender, and suddenly a general said: "General, it is better to kill Xuanhuahou with one sword, it is not appropriate to persuade him to surrender." ”

"Why?" Fan Bi was a little puzzled, and it was also a credit to persuade a clan to surrender.

The general was obviously a clever ghost, and he said in a low voice: "Xuanhuahou is a close branch clan after all, if he is demoted, the official position will definitely be above the general, and he may be more reused by the Yuan court, and the general has offended him today, hehe." ”

Fan Bi understood, he didn't hesitate anymore, stepped forward and slashed Chen Xian's head with a knife, and then carried the bloody head, and roared loudly: "The general has killed Chen Xian with his own hands, and those who descend will not die!" ”

His own soldiers also shouted together: "Chen Xian is dead, surrender and don't kill!" ”

"Chen Xian's head is here! Those who surrender live! Death to the recalcitrant ones! ”

Soon, the Vietnamese army, who were still trapped and fighting, knew about Chen Xian's death. The huge confusion suddenly shrouded the hearts of the remnants of the Vietnamese army.

At this time, the differences between people are vividly displayed, and the beauty is fully revealed.

Some of them looked very sad and indignant, shouting "kill the Tartars" and "avenge the prince", and they were besieged and killed one after another without hesitation.

Some do not fight, do not lay down their weapons, and hesitate.

Others, however, threw down their weapons and surrendered.

"Those who surrender live, and those who resist die", in the face of this huge test, human nature will be exposed, and it will no longer be possible to hide it in the slightest.

Death is easy to say, but if you don't have the courage and belief to see death as home, and if you don't have the kind of moral strength in your heart, how many people will choose to die?

The remnants of the Vietnamese army who finally surrendered amounted to more than 5,000 people. In this battle, nearly 20,000 Vietnamese troops were killed, and they were all forbidden troops. Only a few hundred escaped from Ascension.

However, because the Yuan army was surrounded and killed by two or three times the number of troops, there were only more than 4,000 casualties, and most of them were Vietnamese traitors.

The captives were taken to the Yuan army camp, and Li Luo handed over the aftermath to Ye Sudie'er. Although the idea of forcing the other party to braided his hair was Li Luo's idea, he would never give this order himself.

Sure enough, Su Die'er gave the first order to the captive: shave his head and keep braids.

The captives, who had already surrendered, heard that they were going to shave their hair, and suddenly some people made a fuss and even wanted to fight hard.

All of these people were beheaded by the Yue traitor army ordered by Ye Sudie'er. At one time, nearly a thousand more people were killed.

In the end, there were still more than 4,000 people who really obediently shaved their hair. Li Luo ordered more than 4,000 people to be dispersed and organized into four new Vietnamese army and ten thousand households to supplement the troops of Wu E, Fan Bi and others.

The Yuan army won another big victory, and its morale was even higher. The generals also admired Li Luo even more.

Su Die'er even said with regret: "General, if the first general of Zhengnan was you, then Annan would have taken it down a long time ago, and there would be no instigation to wipe out the entire army." Fortunately, the Great Khan was wise enough to use our Mergenbatus. ”

Li Luo was not smug and said: "Everyone, there have been a few battles in the front, and you can't take it lightly in the back. Kuaizhou is a hard bone, you have to be prepared. Chen Rilian, in particular, must not be underestimated. ”

…………

Early the next morning, the Yuan army, who had been bullied by the mosquitoes in the jungle all night, pulled out the camp and hit the road a little listlessly.

At this time, the Vietnamese army farther away finally rushed over, but when they heard that they were defeated last night, they gathered only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, so they did not dare to fight with the Yuan army, so they could only gather the people in the forest within a radius of more than ten miles, dig traps and set up crossbow arrows on the road that the Yuan army must pass.

So, the next afternoon, the exhausted Yuan army in the jungle was in trouble.

From time to time, people fall into the trap and are both dead and injured. The traps of the Vietnamese army and the people in the forest were very clever and tricky, and the camouflage was very high. Even the Vietnamese traitor army who walked in front couldn't guard against it.

What's even more troublesome is the war horse, once it falls into the trap, most of them will be scrapped.

In addition to the large number of traps, there are also many crossbows that fire poisoned arrows once they are touched by a trap. The wound of the person who was shot was quickly black and the pain was unbearable. This poisonous arrow was not only quenched with snake venom, but also a mess of other toxins. If you are hit by a poisoned arrow, there is a chance that you will die.

The Yue traitor army marched while carefully cleaning up, and the main force of the Yuan army followed behind. It took a full day to walk until dusk, and it took more than ten miles to walk out at the end of the day.

Finally passed the obstacle area, and the casualties of the Yuan army reached more than 800, and more than 200 war horses were wasted.

Although the vast majority of the casualties were among the Vietnamese traitors, the Mongol soldiers of Jin Gui also suffered dozens of casualties. Even one of Li Luo's personal guards also fell into the trap and was not lightly injured.

The man who was the general of the expedition to the south was furious.

Through this jungle, Li Luo immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, search and kill the people in the forest within a radius of twenty miles nearby, leaving no chickens and dogs, regardless of men, women and children, and kill them all.

Due to its proximity to Kuaizhou, the forest is densely populated, and there are at least tens of thousands of people within a radius of 20 miles.

After staying for one more day, the Yuan army searched and killed six or seven thousand natives in the forest. According to Li Luo's order, all men, women, and children were killed, and the house was also burned.

Also angry, Su Die'er ordered the heads of the natives in the forest to be strung one by one and hung on the trees for public display.

On the fifth day of the fourth month, after three full days of suffering, the Yuan army finally trudged out of the mountains and forests.

In front of Huo Ran cheerful, there are crops, rice fields, and villages.

Li Luo knew that twenty miles away from here was Kuaizhou City. Kuaizhou is an important town, and the location is dangerous. If you want to attack Tianchangfu and control the hinterland of Yuezhong, you must capture Kuaizhou.

However, Li Luo did not immediately order the march. On the one hand, the Yuan army was indeed sleepy, and on the other hand, it also agreed to the massacre of Sudieer.

The Mongol army and the Tanma Red army of Surdier suffered a lot of sins in the jungle, they needed to kill, they needed to vent.

The massacre of the people of Annan was not what Li Luo wanted, but he did not refuse Ye Sudie'er's request this time.

As a result, the people outside the city of Kuaizhou were killed.

The Mongol cavalry killed people when they saw them, and burned houses when they saw them... Brutal at all. After slaughtering more than a dozen villages, Li Luo finally couldn't help but give the order to stop the Mongol cavalry from continuing the massacre.

That's pretty much it, killing so many civilians is not a good thing anyway.

But in order to appease the restless Mongol cavalry, Li Luo promised that all the forest people (natives) in Annam could be disposed of with as they pleased.

The Annanites can be simply divided into two types. One is the Yue people who are descendants of the Central Plains, and now they are also the mainstream Annamite people. There is also a group of local aborigines, who are not related to the Central Plains people by any kind.

There are not many indigenous people in Annam, as many as one million, accounting for one-sixth of Annam's population.

The Mongolian generals were relieved when they got Li Luo's promise.

After camping for a day, on the sixth day of the fourth month, Li Luo's black horsetail Sulu ingot appeared outside Kuaizhou City.

This is the easiest area to break through the Hongan defense line, and it is also the most important town with the largest number of Vietnamese defenders at present.

The generals of the Yue Army in Kuaizhou had long received the news that the main force of the Yuan army was coming. But when they saw the Yuan army with tens of thousands of iron horsemen, they still felt extremely shocked.

The ground in Kuaizhou is not a jungle, and the cavalry can already gallop across the country.

According to previous estimates, they believed that the Yuan army was not accustomed to the water and soil, and the epidemic had risen, so it must be slow, and it would take at least ten days to pass through the jungle.

But who would have thought that the Yuan army would cross the Pulai jungle in three days.

The jungle can't stop the Yuan army, can this city do?

PS: Extremely bad today. When I saw that there were only more than 300 recommendation votes, it was like a balloon that had been pricked. Codewords are too slow.

The subscription is small, just a little subscription, the new chapter subscription does not move for a few days, and I don't know if they are all raising books. If you raise a book, then don't serialize.

Even if you have a small subscription, today's recommended vote is the data from a few months ago. How many of the more than one million word books on the website have only 300 recommended votes a day? Feelings my book is the worst site?

I'm not asking for votes anymore. Pity my friends and vote, and forget about those who are afraid of trouble. People who watch pirated copies and never vote, who have never given any support, and who don't even give a comment, please leave. Just sauce purple. Crab crab.
