Chapter 349: Fearless
Hu Hancang immediately said that this was the right thing, and after greeting for a while, he said that there were rebels outside the city, and he didn't know how the envoy entered the royal capital, and said that he had sent troops to clear it.
Dusk said frankly, "For the sake of your country, I don't want to delay most of the time on the road, after all, if you can't get the letter of your country back to our king, the Xiongshi on the border of Guangxi will be in trouble, so the rebels will enter the royal capital one step first." ”
Indeed it is.
Before entering the city at dusk, Annan's soldiers and horses were seen ambushing the mission.
Hu Hancang and Hu Yiyuan glanced at each other, anxious, at this time, they had to quickly take back the "rebels", if something happened to the mission, Zhu Di was afraid that he would really send troops in anger.
hurriedly made a haha, arranged for the group of people at dusk to go to the state guesthouse, and hurriedly went to inform the "rebels" to retreat, fearing that the Ming mission would be wiped out if it was too late.
The dusk is also very cooperative.
He was indeed in a hurry.
If the eldest brother dies in Annan, when he returns to Yingtian, he won't want to climb into his wife's bed in half a year.
That's right, I'm a strict wife.
……
……
Hu Hancang sent a general to lead hundreds of soldiers and horses, galloping, to the "pass" outside Qinghua City, which was surrounded by small hills, and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Still fighting!
The cavalry escorting the Ming mission was less than twenty people, and the two bloody generals of the Ming Dynasty had already dismounted and fought, and there was not a single living war horse to be found on the battlefield.
The soldiers of Annan who besieged these two generals were less than two hundred!
There were corpses everywhere.
There are the corpses of Annan's "rebels", as well as the corpses of the Ming soldiers.
This general named Nguyen Renlie was Hu Yiyuan's confidant and confidant of the usurpation of the country, and he had experienced a lot of fighting, and after seeing this scene, he was puzzled: how did the two hundred people hold out for so long.
Not to mention more than just persistence.
A thousand "rebel soldiers", in fact, are all the elites under their own command, and more than seven or eight hundred died, while the other party obviously only has 200 people, and the battle losses are four to one, how is this possible?
The elite of the Ming Xiongshi is terrifying?
From the bottom of his heart, Ruan Renlie felt a deep fear of Da Ming, this is only two hundred cavalry troops, if tens of thousands of troops are killed from Guangxi, what will be the end?
Nguyen Renlie shuddered.
In fact, Ruan Renlie was just stunned by the scene in front of him, and when he went back to calm down, he could understand the reason: the two hundred who escorted the mission were the elite of the Beijing camp, and the cavalry was against the infantry army, if it weren't for the rain, the gap in battle damage would have been even greater.
Under the condition that the strength of the army did not reach the absolute scale, the cavalry had a natural advantage over the infantry army, the two hundred cavalry first scattered the five hundred ambush soldiers, and then leaned on the horse and attacked, the advantage was obvious, when facing the five hundred reinforcements behind, Xu Huizu and Zeng Qinglong also threw off the Annan troops around them, and chose to collide with the opponent's reinforcement formation.
That's why there is such a battle loss ratio.
If you really want to fight seriously, although a thousand infantry troops still can't win against two hundred cavalry, the battle loss ratio will not be so exaggerated, because once the infantry army is dispersed, the lethality caused by two hundred cavalry will be limited.
If the forces of both sides are increased tenfold, and 2,000 cavalry troops are charged with 10,000 infantry troops, then the result is not easy to say.
Nguyen Nhan-Lie quickly brought the situation under control.
sent hundreds of soldiers to pursue the "rebels", but the farther and farther they chased, to give an explanation to Daming, the heads of these "rebels" on the battlefield were enough, there was no need to kill their own people.
Xu Huizu and Zeng Qinglong were crumbling.
Fortunately, Gao Xianning and Huang Guan hurriedly stepped forward and led the delegation to clean up the mess.
Ruan Renlie stood beside Xu Huizu, looked at this well-known Confucian general of the Ming Dynasty, was in awe, and said Hu Hancang's will again, saying that if the rebels attacked the mission by mistake, our country will definitely put down the rebellion harshly, give Daming an explanation, and said that the Huang envoy of the mission has stayed at the state guesthouse, and invite your envoy to go.
Xu Huizu asked Gao Xianning and Huang Guan to enter the city with the delegation.
Together with Zeng Qinglong, as well as the surviving more than a dozen horsemen, with the help of Nguyen Renlie, he collected the bodies of the robes who died in battle: soldiers always respect each other.
Although everyone's position is different, there is no war at the moment.
Ruan Renlie had only respect for these heroes who died in the Ming Dynasty, and ordered his subordinates to help clean up the battle situation, transport the corpses outside the city, and see how the Ming mission planned to clean them up, as for the emotions in his heart, it was not enough to put into words.
Because it was winter and they were all heroes who died in battle, Xu Huizu refused Ruan Renlie's kindness and asked him to inform Hu Hancang and his son that although the Ming boy was as far away as Annam, he would never bury his bones in a foreign country.
It is necessary to bring these heroes back to the homeland of the Ming Dynasty.
The implication is that this is a "good deed" done by you, Hu Hancang, no matter how much money you spend and how many people you use, you must transport these sacrificed soldiers to Guangxi safely.
Hu Hancang quickly replied and asked Ruan Renlie to do the same.
At the same time, 500 heads of the corpses of the "rebels" were cut off and sent to Guangxi together with the coffins of more than 180 horsemen.
Because there could be no war next, Zeng Qinglong took the initiative to ask Ying to escort him.
Xu Huizu was worried that Hu Hancang's father and son would make a move, so he left Xu Yin and Yu Yanliang, and the three of them stayed at the Qinghua State Guesthouse and were responsible for protecting the safety of his brother-in-law.
That night, Hu Hancang hosted a banquet for the mission.
Hu Yiyuan did not attend.
Because of what happened before, this banquet had some swords and swords, and the clash of words made Huang Guan and Gao Xianning come out: compared to words and swords, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were not afraid of people.
In fact, dusk is not afraid.
It's just that his mood fluctuates a little, and he is afraid that he can't help but do something out of the ordinary, because during the banquet, he just drank depressed and drunk, and only at the end of the banquet, let Hu Hancang return to China as soon as possible.
With the delivery of the edict and the letter of state to Hu Hancang's father and son, things on Annan's side are basically finalized, and there should be no changes, and they will follow the historical trajectory.
Dusk now just wants to return home early.
According to the plan, the mission was supposed to wait until after Hu Hancang's credentials, because the previous plan was to find a process for making firearms in Annam.
Now, with the help of Lai Li, this plan has been cancelled.
Therefore, the mission changed its plan and only stayed in Thanh Hoa for three days, as for Hu Hancang's national letter, he himself sent a mission to Daming Gyeonggi, fortunately, there was no wind or rain in these days, and Hu Hancang's father and son also knew that the mission was insignificant, so they did not do anything more.
Three days later, the mission returned.
In Hu Yiyuan's imperial study, Hu Hancang sat on pins and needles.
"Father, the mission led by Xu Huizu has left the royal capital, and Chen Tianping and Chen Rikun's former minister Pei Bo have already arrived in the Ming Dynasty, you see the meaning of Zhu Di's letter of state, it seems that he wants us to return Annan to Chen Tianping, how should we deal with it?"
Hu Yiyuan stroked his beard and smiled, "What does Zhu Di say?" ”
My father and son are not fish and meat.
Hu Hancang said sadly: "How is that good? ”
Hu Yiyuan was calm, "You are still too timid, you don't want to think about it, just Daming has just fought two battles, and when the vitality has not yet recovered, where did Zhu Di have the courage to attack our Annan?" ”
Daming doesn't have this strength!
Hu Yiyuan laughed, "And I, the Annan Heroes, have won all battles, will I be afraid of the Ming soldiers and horses from afar?" In such a situation, we have nothing to fear, and what we need to do now is to kill Chen Tianping and completely cut off the Chen bloodline. ”
