Chapter 108: The Nanyang Sailors are bleeding

The two largest firepower groups on the battlefield of Annan in Daming are the artillery groups under Langshan City, which is dominated by artillery battalions in the hands of Guo Deng, and the artillery of other battalions is assembled.

The other one is the Nanyang Naval Division.

Even to some extent, the number of artillery of the Nanyang Naval Division is still higher than the number of artillery in Lang Son City. In the battle of the Baiteng River, the Nanyang Naval Division probably lost dozens of ships, so that the Annamites got more than 100 guns.

Not to mention, some artillery pieces have sunk into the river and cannot be found.

This is how sea freight differs from land transport.

If Wang Yue's usage is followed, a big battle is fought, I am afraid that the loss of the Nanyang Naval Division will be greater than the loss of the Battle of Baitengjiang.

Both the Nanyang Naval Division and the Beiyang Naval Division were all created by Wang Ying with one hand and one foot, one ship at a time, one by one, and went to fight lawsuits with Shaofu, Hubu, and yamen in various places.

Now that everything is going to be lost, how can Wang Ying not feel distressed.

But so what?

Is there any other way for him to go now?

No?

And he is not sure of one point, that is, whether Wang Yue said it on his own behalf or on behalf of Guo Deng.

If Wang Yue had his own ideas, there was still room for refusal.

If it is said that it is for Guo Deng, it is a toast and not eat and drink.

The relationship between Wang Ying and Guo Deng is not too harmonious, if you slap Guo Deng's face again now, don't expect Guo Deng to excuse him, if you don't fall into the well, you will be wrong to protect him.

Wang Ying gritted the root of his teeth deeply, eager to break his gums, exhaled and said, "Okay, just follow the virtuous brother." ”

Wang Ying's words, in fact, the command of this army has already been in Wang Yue's hands.

Wang Yue naturally did not have to wait for anything, and the coastal defense city, which was immediately abandoned by the various departments, first returned to Qinzhou for three days to repair, and then the army moved south along the coastline.

The place where Wang Yue is going is Ha Long Bay.

Halong Bay is beautiful.

In later generations, it was known as Guilin on the sea, and there are 3,000 large and small islands distributed in this area, and strange stones are frequently appearing, and the posture is different. The largest island is Cat Ba Island, which is also heard of.

But such a beautiful scenery is the biggest trouble for the Ming army.

It was impossible for the Ming army to occupy all of these 3,000 small islands, so the boats of the Annam Navy Division hid among these small islands, day and night, and frequently attacked the Ming army.

Even the Ming army did not dare to pursue.

Who knows that there are no traps for the Annan Naval Division, and the Guangdong Naval Division can only operate near the main channel. The topography of the coast is even more incomplete, many of which are rocky shores, and there are no open landing sites at all.

From Guangxi to Haiphong, most of the coasts and coasts in this area are like this.

Now, with Wang Ying, who is willing to spend his blood, many difficulties are not difficulties. Hundreds of ships went straight into the depths of Halong Bay, the town of Xian'an.

There are more than 10,000 Annan soldiers stationed here, and the city walls have been established on both sides of the river, which is not very high, but there are enough firearms, condescending, and can stand on a firm foothold after the Ming army goes ashore.

Because of geographical constraints, there are only more than 1,000 people who can come up at a time, and the Annan people can swallow it in one bite.

Now Wang Ying is also domineering, taking advantage of the high tide, more than a dozen ships rushed to the shore and ran aground in one go.

It's not all sand here, and it's not easy for these ships to be recycled in the future.

But on the mile-long coast, every few dozen paces, there was a stranded ship, as if it were a camp of the Ming army, although jumping from these ships was waist-high water.

But it's much more convenient than before, and it's much easier to change to a small boat from afar.

The Ming army sent 3,000 soldiers at once, led by Jiang Cheng, who was born in martial arts, to attack the city wall of the Annan army.

Zhu Qizhen has always been very strict with martial arts, so any general who is born in martial arts is at least a qualified low-level general, and Jiang Cheng is the best among them.

And Wang Yue is a leading figure in the martial arts school.

Although there are Yang Xin, Shi Biao, Fan Guang and others in martial arts, these people are all from Wei, and many times the background behind them is also very complicated.

For the martial arts department, it is not a comprehensive reliance.

But Wang Yue is different.

Wang Yue joined the army in vain, and his status as a person may not be a benefit to him in the army. It will even get the eyes of many generals.

Even many generals of the Ming army were proud of not studying. This kind of bad habit, even if Zhu Qizhen has been attacked several times, is still deep-rooted.

If you want to change a person's mind, sometimes it takes a lifetime.

Therefore, although Wang Yue is not the highest climbed after his martial arts background, he is a general who is wholeheartedly committed to promoting his juniors.

And Jiang Chengcheng is a general that Wang Yue is optimistic about.

Shanxi people, a brave man who can fight and kill tigers, at this moment he is wearing heavy armor and leading the troops to rush to the front.

If it was someone else, wearing armor weighing dozens of pounds, and rushing up from waist-deep seawater, he would have no strength for a long time. But Jiang Cheng's footsteps were like flying, and he didn't seem to be affected by the sea at all.

Annan's soldiers and arrows rained down, and Jiang Chengcheng jumped up as if he didn't see it, and pounced on the city wall of the Annan people.

The fortifications of the Annamite were also built in a hurry, but they were like a breastwork, and the Annamite stood on a high place and shot downward.

Jiang Cheng killed the people of Annan, and suddenly fell into hand-to-hand combat.

The two sides did not retreat an inch, but even if Jiang Cheng was very brave, he still fell into disadvantage, for a very small reason, that is, the Ming army was not many in number, and when they rushed over, they had already suffered a lot of casualties from fire guns and artillery arrows.

When there is a war, there are always more people and fewer people.

Even if the Ming army was more elite by the Annamite people, it would not play a big role.

If the big ship is not stranded on the shore, the second wave of reinforcements will probably have to wait a long time before they are sent.

This is also the reason why the landing battle is not easy to fight.

And Wang Yingyou smashed more than a dozen ships.

These ships rushed desperately to the shore until they ran aground, and once they ran aground, no matter who they were, even the sailors disempowered, landed in hand-to-hand combat, and in this short stretch of coast, the Ming army paid a total of almost equal losses in the battle with the Baiteng River to send 6,000 people ashore.

At the same time, he also sealed the victory.

In the evening, the remnants of the sun are like blood.

Wang Ying, Wang Yue and the two guards accompanied them and landed on the shore.

But even the sea seemed to be stained with blood and the setting sun.

Wang Yue entered the city wall of the Annamite people, but saw the corpses laid out on the ground behind a short wall, and Jiang Cheng immediately came to visit.

Wang Yue looked at Jiang Cheng, but saw that Jiang Cheng was covered in blood, water and broken flesh, like a demon crawling out of hell.

"Okay, this time Senior Brother Jiang has made a great contribution." Wang Yue said.

"Don't dare to be," Jiang Cheng's tone was a little weak, and he wanted to fight for a day, which also made this fierce general a little unbearable.

Wang Yue immediately asked Jiang Cheng to go down to rest.

He carefully inspected the battlefield, and then saw a lot of Annan corpses, and then said to Wang Ying: "Now the Annan people can't hold on. ”

"How so?" Wang Ying immediately asked.

In fact, he is the one who is most eager to win this battle.

After all, if he is defeated, no one will end up worse than him.

Wang Yue pointed to more than a dozen corpses and said: "You see, these people are already above forty years old, but they are used as soldiers, it can be seen that the Annan people have exhausted some of their troops, and I have seen the calluses on the hands of these people, most of them are not calluses with knives, but from farmers." ”

"It is estimated that it is about forty percent, that is to say, at least forty percent of the Annan army is more than forty percent, all of which are temporarily conscripted, and such an army can not be defeated against the elite division of our dynasty."

"What's more." Wang Yue looked at the mountains in the northwest direction and said, "From this direction, go about 200 miles to the northwest, and you will be Langshan." ”

That is to say, at this moment the Ming army is already behind the defenders of Annam.

Of course, that doesn't mean anything.

Because there are still a large number of large and small mountains between Lang Son and here, you must know that the Qianqi River outside Lang Son City flows westward, not eastward. It can be explained how the terrain between here and Lang Son is.

However, the most important thing is to take it down, and the next thing is not difficult.

It's just that Wang Ying was not in a good mood, and said with a wry smile: "That's good, that's good." ”

In his opinion, this battle was almost smashed with money, and the most few of these dozens of ships were smashed into it for 10,000 taels of silver.
