Chapter 112: The Last Struggle
Chapter 112: The Last Struggle
Once, twice, three times.
Liu Ju doesn't know how many times he has been beaten.
It was nothing more than seeing that the originally flat road was paved with corpses, and then the two sides continued to fight on top of the corpses. Even trampled these corpses beyond recognition.
The collection of corpses on the battlefield is an unwritten rule on almost all battlefields.
will leave some time for both sides to collect the body.
Of course, this also prevents the plague.
But now, that rule has long since been broken.
Liu Ju sent someone to ask, asking them to pause for a while so that they could restrain each other's corpses, but how could Ruan Chi be willing to let in?
Because after conquering Lang Son City, the Ming army had already pursued it in a big way.
The reason why Ruan Chi still has time to attack is because there are many Annan soldiers behind who are resisting the pursuit of the Ming army. 、
Every minute counts at this moment.
Ruan Chi could only give such an order in cold blood.
No matter what is the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood in front of him, he can only smash the troops in his hand into it little by little.
This battle made Liu Ju quite angry, after all, the cavalry was used as a foot soldier, and it was even inferior to a foot soldier, after all, although the cavalry had some firearms, it was far inferior to the firearms of the Annan army.
So when the battle was engaged, it was suppressed by Annan's firearms.
I became the beaten party. In terms of casualty ratio, it was the Annam army that had the upper hand.
However, the situation soon turned around.
for the king has arrived.
Wang Yue entered the hinterland of Annam from the east, and he was originally going to the Annam grain road, so it was not far from here. As soon as they got the news, they rushed to the scene.
Wang Yue's number is not large, but with 20,000 foot soldiers, plus the remaining 20,000 cavalry, the cavalry has a thick infantry formation, and there is room for free movement.
I even dared to play a short attack.
In this way, one plus one is not equal to two, but greater than two.
Ruan Chi had clearly felt the low morale of the army. He was already a little sure in his heart, that is, this could not be attacked in the short term.
The roof leak happened to rain overnight.
Just when Ruan Chi was worried, he heard behind him. Someone came to report it, but the man did not dare to speak, but only sent a blood-stained letter.
When Ruan Chi saw it, he couldn't help but take a mouthful of blood and was pressed down by him.
But it was Guo Deng who had already broken through the rear army of Annan, and he was coming here non-stop at the moment.
There is no time left.
Ruan Chi immediately ordered several daring armies to disperse and break through.
Nguyen Chi is a long, narrow valley carved out by official roads, flanked by mountains and forests, but not completely without a road.
But the march of the great army is not.
Now Ruan Chi already knew that it was impossible for the army to withdraw.
Just let a few elites break through first, and Ruan Chi led the team to the east of the mountain range.
These mountains are not too steep, but they take advantage of the condescending advantages, plus although a lot of various baggage is lost, the mountains are high and densely forested.
It's enough to contain the Ming army for a while.
This can be regarded as the final contribution to Annan.
It's just that soon, his mind was a little colder, but the Annan army, which broke through from the west, was defeated and retreated in a moment, but it was defeated by Mao Rui.
Mao Ruiyi was trapped under Gaoping City. Mao Sheng is no longer there, whether the door of the Mao family can be held up depends on Mao Rui.
Mao Rui has been holding back his strength, wanting to make contributions and let others know that the Mao family not only has Mao Sheng, but also Mao Rui.
It's just that Gaoping's side is more difficult to gnaw down than Langshan.
Mao Rui doesn't have such a good level of qi cultivation as Guo Deng, his whole person seems to be suffocated, and it is easy for him to see the flaws, and the situation on the entire battlefield has changed greatly.
So as soon as Mao Rui made a move, he annihilated the retreating Gaoping defenders, although the brigade came to the southeast to participate in this annihilation battle.
Not long after Mao Rui came, Guo Deng also arrived.
As soon as the main force of the Ming army arrived, Ruan Chi immediately defended the mountain.
Guo Deng personally wrote a letter of persuasion for Ruan Chi to surrender, counting the current battle situation, so that he understood that he would definitely lose this battle, only if he surrendered, and the court was willing to be knighted, so that the glory and wealth were no less than he is now.
Guo Deng wrote several letters in a row, all of which were shot into the Annam army.
For a time, the Annan army was a little confused by this letter.
Ruan Chi saw that the morale of the army was fluctuating.
This is also a helpless thing, and everyone can see that Annan's defeat is decided. At this time, he was more loyal to Annan.
People always have to think about themselves.
In particular, there are many children of families in the Annan army. For them, family inheritance is much more important than national inheritance. If the Ming army had given a reasonable condition, they might have surrendered.
Husband and wife are still birds of the same forest, not to mention monarchs and ministers.
Ruan Chi didn't say much, but just told him what the Ming Dynasty had done in North Korea. Hearing this, the aristocrats of Annam felt a chill in the back of their heads.
It's like a deep winter wax moon, and ice water is poured on the head.
Icy chilling.
Speaking of the two classes of nobles in Korea, compared with the Annam court, they are almost the same, and these Annam nobles are easily associated with themselves.
Xu Youzhen actually did a very inauthentic job in North Korea, I don't know how many people were killed, how many were exiled, and what made them even more unbearable was that even if they surrendered, it would be difficult to maintain their current wealth. 、
In this case, what else do they surrender for?
"Isn't Beikou afraid of North Koreans rebelling?" Ruan Chi sneered and said, "Naturally not afraid, are you afraid of the rebellion in the city?" The difference in strength is too great. ”
"Now we can only let the Ming people know that I, Annan Erlang, are not afraid of death, unless the Annan people are dead, and it is impossible to want Annan to lose the country."
"Even if it is 30 or 50 years, there will be a day when the flag of Da Viet will fly on Lang Son again."
"This is the place where I died, and if you are willing to stay with me for the dead, and if you want to leave, you must also leave your soldiers and horses behind and walk through the mountains and forests by yourself."
"Does anyone want to go?" 、
What Ruan Chi said was naturally a general in the army, and as for the soldiers below, they were not in this package service at all.
In the end, only a dozen generals in the Annan army wanted to leave, and they were immediately borrowed by Ruan Chi.
In this way, the whole army was shocked.
Ruan Chi immediately shot an arrow and returned the book, with only four blood words on it: "There is only a death battle." ”
After Guo Deng saw it, he smiled lightly, but did not attack, but gave the order to go down and set up camp at the foot of the mountain, and several camps approached the peak where Ruan Chi was hiding from all sides.
The encirclement couldn't be more palpable.
But no order was given to attack.
Without him, the Ming army has already seen the ability of the Annan army to defend, as long as the burden is endless, the Annan army may not be worse than the Ming Dynasty to defend the city.
But now in the Annan army, the biggest problem is baggage and gunpowder.
Although Nguyen Chi brought a lot with him when he retreated from Lang Son. On the way, they took away some baggage, but on the whole, the baggage that Nguyen Chi could carry in the army could supply the army of Annam for a month at most.
In that case, why let the soldiers go into battle to fight for wealth.
After all, you only need to wait a month or two to see him kill himself.
In this way, Guo Deng's grand plan can be regarded as completed.
Guo Deng felt a trace of pride in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "This is probably the greatest achievement of my life." ”
Guo Deng knows very well that if there is such a big battle that can command hundreds of thousands, it is estimated that it will not be left to him. The next generation of generals has grown up now.
Although many generals are a little immature, they are enough to stand alone.
After Guo Deng destroyed Annan, it is estimated that he will serve in the Privy Council, leaving the command of the front-line army.
Because of this, Guo Deng put almost all his thoughts on trapping Ruan Chi and wanted to draw a perfect end to his military career.
Although this battle is not over yet, the victory of Lang Son can be certain.
Guo Deng sent someone to report the victory to Beijing, but said that Thang Long was much closer to the battlefield than Beijing. So Thang Long got the news many days earlier than Beijing.
But this news, for Thang Long City, is almost a bolt from the blue.
In an instant, Thang Long City went up and down, and he woke up from the afterglow of Bai Tengjiang's victory, it seemed that this time Bai Tengjiang once again protected Da Yue, but it still couldn't stop the fate of Annan's annihilation.
