The "boom, boom, boom" artillery fire did not stop for a moment, and the fragments of the shells continued to kill and injure the soldiers of the Annan Army in the city.

On the city wall, an Annam soldier was put under the city through a hanging basket in the face of artillery fire, and this scene was seen by the Ming soldiers.

"What is King Annan going to do?" Zhou Cao was slightly stunned, and then thought that it might be the king of Annan who brought something out, and immediately made a gesture, and immediately several Ming soldiers rode their horses and ran towards the Annan soldiers who were put down the city wall, and soon brought them to Zhou Cao.

"King Annam has sent you, but what do you have to say?" Zhou Cao asked expressionlessly.

"Back to the general's words, our king asked the villain to bring a handwritten letter, please take a look at the general!" The soldier of the Annan Army took out the handwritten letter of the king of Annan from his bosom in great panic and handed it to Zhou Cao for review.

After Zhou Cao took it, he opened it and opened it, and immediately looked playful.

"Hehe, agree to any conditions? King Annan really knows how to tell jokes! ”

King Annan said in his letter that as long as Daming was willing to withdraw his troops, he would agree to any conditions, even if he wanted him to step down from the throne immediately.

The conditions are good, but it's a pity that King Annan was wrong, Daming came to destroy the country, not just to punish Annan, so King Annan's expectations are destined to be disappointed.

"Fire!"

The "boom boom" shelling continued, and looking at the flames spewed out by the Ming army's artillery not far away, the Annan soldier's face turned pale with fright.

The soldier of the Annan Army remembered another thing that the king of Annam had confessed.

"General, our king hopes that the general can stop the shelling first, as long as the general agrees, our king will immediately send officials to negotiate with the general!" The Annan Army soldier said.

"It's late! Go back and tell the king of Annam that he has only one way, and that is to go out of the city and surrender unconditionally! In this way, I can promise not to touch a single hair of him! Zhou Cao stopped and said with a sneer.

They are here to destroy the country, how can they have the leisure time to negotiate with the Annamite people.

Hearing Zhou Cao's words without hesitation, this Annan Army soldier was taken aback, Da Ming actually did not agree to negotiate, could it be that he insisted on destroying their Annan Kingdom?

This soldier of the Annan Army was just an ordinary soldier, and as soon as he guessed this possibility, he was immediately frightened, his face turned pale, and his heart was full of fear.

Zhou Cao waved his hand, and the Annan Army soldier was immediately carried out.

When the soldier of the Annan Army returned to the city and reported to the king of Annan that the Ming Dynasty refused to negotiate, the king of Annan was blindsided at once!

"Da Ming is bent on destroying my Annan Kingdom!" King Annan gritted his teeth with a blue face.

At the same time, he also had infinite fear in his heart, he knew that Annan was small and weak, and it was absolutely impossible to compete with the Ming Dynasty, but it was impossible to be willing to destroy Annan.

Now that the back road is cut off, there is only one way to fight to the death! He believed that with the hundreds of thousands of troops in the city, it was not impossible to defeat the Ming army.

"Boom Boom"

Shells continued to explode in the city, and after more than half an hour of shelling, a large number of buildings in the city had been razed to the ground, and a large number of civilians and soldiers had also suffered casualties.

The people cried out, and the morale of the soldiers continued to decline.

"The king, if it goes on like this, there is no need for the Ming army to attack the city, and my army will be blown up and collapsed in a short time, rather than this, the last general will ask the king to lead the army out of the city and fight a decisive battle with the Ming army outside the city!" There was a general of the Annan army who said to the king of Annan.

King Annan gritted his teeth, the artillery of the Ming army was too powerful, of course he also knew that if the Ming army was blown up like this, the morale of the soldiers in the city would collapse sooner or later, and when the Ming army did not have to attack the city, they would collapse without a fight.

"It's really not a way to let the Ming army blow up like this, you can only go out of the city for a decisive battle!" King Annan decided.

Due to the dense army and people in the city, the Ming army only shelled for more than half an hour, the Annan army suffered no less than six or seven casualties, and more than 20,000 people, when the Annan army has seen such a fierce shelling, it has long been bombed to low morale, many Annan soldiers have shrunk under the wall and trembled, such a situation, once the Ming army really begins to attack the city, it is easy to attack the city, and defeat the demoralized Annan army.

"This king will go out of the city with the army, and he will definitely kill the Ming army without leaving a piece of armor!" King Annan said with a hideous face.

With the decision, the king of Annan no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and the whole army went out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army.

After about half an hour, the drawbridge was lowered and the gates opened.

"Kill"

More than 100,000 soldiers of the Annam Army rushed out under artillery fire.

The Ming army camp was located more than 300 meters away, and as soon as the Annan army rushed out of the city, Zhou Cao guessed their intentions.

"Interesting, King Annan is quite decisive, and he actually plans to lead his army out of the city for a decisive battle!" Zhou Cao smiled: "It's okay to save my army from going into the city again!" ”

"Order, stop the shelling, the army retreats five miles, and let the Annan army out of the city!" Zhou Cao ordered.

Since the Annan army planned to give up holding on to the city and go out of the city for a decisive battle, this was exactly what Zhou Cao meant, and Zhou Cao did not hesitate to give up the place, so that the Annan army could calmly go out of the city for a decisive battle.

The Ming army immediately stopped the shelling, and the war horses began to retreat back with their cannons.

"Newspaper"

"King, the Ming army has begun to retreat!" There were generals of the Annan army who reported the movements of the Ming army to the king of Annan.

King Annan frowned, but he didn't let the army stop going out of the city, thinking that he knew very well that since the Ming army so resolutely refused to negotiate and insisted on destroying him Annan, it was inevitable that it would be impossible to really withdraw the troops, I am afraid that they saw their plan to go out of the city for a decisive battle and gave up enough distance.

"The Ming army is really arrogant!" King Annan said angrily.

"However, I, Annan, am not a vegetarian, and I will make the Ming army pay a heavy price for my arrogance!"

The king of Annan has his own reliance, because among the 140,000 troops under his command who returned to the city, there are 20,000 of the most elite rattan armor soldiers, with strong combat effectiveness, and the country of Annan has won many major battles by relying on the elite rattan armor soldiers for hundreds of years, and the king of Annam believes that this time the vine armor soldiers will also be able to build another attack and defeat the Ming army!

Zhou Cao led 20,000 Ming troops to reconstruct the artillery camp position five miles away, and at the same time, all the Ming soldiers dismounted and formed an infantry battle formation, preparing to meet the hundreds of thousands of Annan troops who went out of the city.

King Annam led 140,000 Annam troops to pour out, and also set up a position outside the city, 20,000 rattan armor soldiers were not placed in the front, but hidden in the Chinese army, and King Annam was ready to see the opportunity to send again.
