Chapter 165: On the eve of the decisive battle
Since the Han army left the town of Nanguan, 600,000 soldiers and civilians in Annam have died. Nearly 100,000 of them were killed by the wolf soldiers at the border pass, and the remaining 500,000 were killed by the Han army.
The Han army's 50,000 personal soldiers were able to eliminate 500,000 Annamite, and their own casualties were not very large. This is also the reason why more than 100,000 wolf soldiers can no longer resist the generals, and the generals and generals do not dare to disobey the order, and the Zhennan Army of Longzhou and Liang En's Han Ninth Army are also successfully formed. The newly expanded border army of more than 100,000 was just assigned to the Zhennan Army and the Han Ninth Army.
Most of the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhennan Army were Han Chinese, and the soldiers and horses of the Han Nine Army were all people of various ethnic groups. After the annihilation of the Anbei Army, most of the border troops also began to rush to the front line of the Yaojiang River to garrison.
After treating the grass and wood soldiers, Chen Xiong also began to be reincarnated as grass and wood soldiers.
The last main force of the Annan Kingdom, the 300,000-strong army, has already begun to set out. In order to prevent the Han army from sneaking attack, they marched tightly, not daring to disperse or march in a hurry. General Bolaigu didn't seem to be worried about the reinforcements of the Han army, and he probed for information: the army of the Han King was still in Guangdong, and he couldn't catch up at all in a month. Moreover, in this rainy season, it is even more difficult for the army to hurry.
But he ignored the wolf soldiers at the border pass, the people of Annam in the north did not dare to visit the Han people, and Bo Laigu could not know the reality of the Han army. In his estimation, the wolf soldiers also suffered heavy losses, and he estimated that the Han army was definitely no more than 100,000 now, and even less than 70,000 or 80,000 could fight.
Even the Anbei army failed to get close to the Han army to investigate, and the deserters couldn't believe that only fifty or sixty thousand defeated them.
The attack of the Annan army was in line with Chen Xiong's intentions, and now he only had ten big green snakes, and the straw soldiers were all wiped out, and the siege force had been greatly reduced.
There were no orc soldiers, but there were as many as 7,000 heavy cavalry. Lingnan is rich in stone, there are many stonemasons, and even a small half of Foshan County makes a living from masonry. After the completion of the Four Acropolis, many stonemasons also participated in the manufacture of stone figures. The Manchu Qing occupied the Central Plains, and Wu Jiu was also very uneasy in his heart! He knew that these stone men were the main force against the Manchu iron cavalry, and he valued these heavy cavalry more than the wooden people. There are also wooden cows and Trojan horses, which he likes the most, but he doesn't like the big meat tigers, wolves, beasts, and soldiers so much.
In one day, Wu Zhong expanded the army of thirty heavy cavalry to 9,000 cavalry, and there were also a few thousand extra transport horses. Including his personal guard heavy cavalry, all the heavy cavalry was 10,000 men. This is the real thing: if the heavy cavalry is less than 10,000, the full 10,000 is invincible.
Absorbing hundreds of thousands of ghasts has improved his physical adaptability a lot again, which is why he was able to expand his army in large numbers. Perhaps it was the reward given to him by the Gates of Hell, but now the discharge of the power of living beings no longer affects his body. But the maximum range of influence is still 100 meters, and more than 100 meters of vitality will be absorbed by the earth.
After the heavy riding, the wooden oxen were also reincarnated in thousands.
When the 300,000-strong army of Annam arrived outside Thang Long City, the infantry of the three major pro-armies had reached 60,000. With the addition of the heavy cavalry and the guards Chen Xiong's grass and wood soldiers, the number has reached 70,000, and at the same time, there are very few ghast fragments that he can control.
During this time, he also summed up: To reincarnate a grass, wood, and stone soldier requires an average of one hundred ghasts.
In addition to the 70,000 personal soldiers, there are 50,000 border wolf soldiers in the city, and 50,000 wolf soldiers are also stationed in the walled cities north and south of the Yao River. Due to the unclear attitude of the various tribes and state capitals in Lingnan, the veteran Longzhou did not dare to send all the wolf soldiers on the front line of Zhennan Pass. He didn't want King Han to fight Zhennanguan again when he returned to his division!
Zhennanguan is the hometown of Longzhou, and he is reluctant to be destroyed by the Han army.
"Lord, the Annan people are camping, should my border army go out of the city or stay for a period of time first?" According to the old general's opinion, the city should be defended: when the morale of the Annamite people is depleted, it is the time for them to go out of the city for a decisive battle.
Seventy thousand grass and tree soldiers are on the dock, they are all well-equipped, not to mention 50,000 border wolf soldiers.
Chen Xiong shook his head: "The 300,000 army of Annan is just a chicken and a dog in the eyes of this king, and the generals dare to fight to the death." ”
"The last general will fight." Longzhou did not hesitate to ask for it, and the generals also immediately asked for battle.
Chen Xiong nodded with satisfaction, these generals did not have a trace of fear, even if there were no Han soldiers, these 50,000 wolf soldiers dared to launch a decisive charge against the Annan army. Or the environmental impact, the wolf soldiers said that the battle would be fought to the last person. The Lingnan Han people may lose the civil war, but they will never recognize the bear in the foreign war.
Historically, Britain and France wanted to invade the southwestern provinces that colonized the Qing Dynasty, but the tenacious will of the people in the southwestern provinces to resist completely dispelled the intention of direct invasion by Britain and France.
Annan's army was much more cautious, even though they knew that there were 70,000 soldiers and horses on the dock, they did not take any action.
Bolegu put down the binoculars, and the bitterness at the corners of his mouth could no longer be hidden!
"General, is there anything wrong?" Seeing the general change color, the general of the west immediately asked!
Bo Laigu shook his head and smiled: "Hehe, it's okay, the Han army is just that." ”
"Why did the general say that?" The generals looked at the general suspiciously.
Bo Laigu said against his will: "Since ancient times, the Jiao soldiers will be defeated, you see that the Han army by the dock does not even have a horse, it seems that they are not afraid of our army at all." ”
The general of the west smiled and nodded: "The Han people have always been arrogant, which is why they lost to the Manchus. ”
The Central Plains has fallen, and the status of the Han people has plummeted in the eyes of the people of Annam.
The elder Bo Laigu nodded with satisfaction: "Our army will fight against the Han army a few times first, and each one will be defeated first." In the decisive battle, let the Han army break into the big formation, and then we will bombard and kill with gunpowder in all directions, so that the Han army will definitely be destroyed. ”
When the generals thought about it, they all thought that this plan was very good. The delicate soldiers will be defeated, and these proud Han troops will definitely burrow into their pockets.
"The general is really thoughtful!"
The generals' sycophants pleased Bolegus, but his heart was already flustered.
The wolf soldiers at the head of the city had starry eyes, so it could be seen that they were all looking forward to the attack of the Annan army.
Although the Han soldiers on the dock only saw the tip of the iceberg, after observing it, Bo Laigu knew that they had no hope in this battle!
The spies came to report that there were tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, tens of thousands of wharves, and even a lot of soldiers and horses in the north and south of the Yao River! The number of Han troops exceeded his expectations, which showed that they did not consume much to deal with the Anbei army. The Han army is still strong until the people and horses of Shenglong are still strong, and the victory or defeat after this can be predicted!
After bidding farewell to the generals, Polaigu came to the small river with a few of his henchmen. The clear water of the river nourished the people of Annam, but in his eyes, he seemed to see that the river water slowly turned red.
"General?" The pro-soldiers couldn't help but speak, and the general's face became worse and worse!
Ay! With a sigh of relief, Bolagu finally made up his mind!
"You know what? I looked through the binoculars just now, and those Han soldiers were lazily closing their eyes and resting! To my army of 300,000, they don't seem to care at all! Bo Laigu couldn't help but smile bitterly, those black warriors made him seem to see the legendary Qin army. The Qin army destroyed the six countries and swept all directions, and led the south to Annam, but it could not stop the Qin army's military might. In the legend of Annam, the Qin army is a soldier of hell and a demon on earth. In the history of the Qin army's rule of Annam, the people of Annam never dared to resist. Only after the Qin army of that generation was old did Annan dare to rebel.
The guards were speechless, and they couldn't understand what the general meant!
"Ruan Xiaoqi, if Mingzong wants to kill me, what will you choose?" Bo Laigu looked at several of his henchmen lightly, although they were only personal soldiers, they were the commanders of hundreds of dead soldiers. Bo Laigu, who worships the Ming Dynasty, also carefully raises hundreds of personal soldiers like the Ming generals.
The short and thin Ruan Xiaoqi's eyes pressed: "General, why don't we strike first?" ”
"General, we have killed all the generals and taken the army alone." The guards immediately responded that they should not live if the general died.
"Okay, don't go to our twenty years of love!" Bolegu was finally relieved that these pro-soldiers were all children he raised and raised! If they don't support him, then he can only perish with Mo.
