Just when the Ming army suppressed the soldiers of the Annan Army on the city wall and could not raise their heads, they were ready to blow open the city gate and enter the city.

Inside the city, King Annan, who had fled into the city for a while, had gradually recovered from his despair.

"My Annan Kingdom must not perish here!" King Annan gritted his teeth, extremely unwilling, he did not give up completely, he had already thought of another idea that could slowly consume the Ming army.

"Order, all the remaining armies immediately withdraw from the city from the west gate and withdraw into the dense forest!" King Annam ordered.

There is a small forest about a few miles west of Hanoi, this forest stretches for more than ten miles, directly leading to the deep mountains and dense forests in the southwest of King Annam, and King Annam is confident that as long as he escapes into the dense forest, it will not be so easy for the Ming army to exterminate him.

As long as he doesn't die, as long as he still has a large army in his hands, he can rely on the dense forest to consume the Ming army, hundreds of years ago, the powerful Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty also attacked their Annam, they also relied on escaping into the dense forest and the Mongols consumed, and finally forced the Mongols to withdraw from Annam, he believes that the Ming army will also be the same as the original Mongols, consumed by them.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the north gate was blown open.

"Kill!" The Ming army entered the city.

At the same time, the west gate was opened by the order of the king of Annam, and the 20,000 Annam troops in the city began to withdraw from the west gate to the outside of the city.

"Quick! Hurry up, everyone, the Ming army is coming! The king of Annam personally led the soldiers of the Annam army who had escaped from the west gate and rushed quickly towards the dense forest several miles away.

In order to escape into the woods before the Ming army arrived, the king of Annam and the soldiers of the Annam army almost used their strength to eat.

"Boom", a group of Ming cavalry suddenly killed.

In addition to the more than 10,000 Ming troops who broke into the city from the north gate under the leadership of Zhou Cao, another 3,000 Ming troops rode on war horses and formed iron cavalry to cruise around the city of Hanoi to prevent soldiers of the Annam Army from escaping from the city.

Therefore, as soon as the king of Annam opened the west gate and fled with the remaining 20,000 soldiers of the Annam army in the city, he was discovered by a group of Ming troops.

The Ming army was small in number, only about 400 men, led by a battalion commander, but the battalion commander had already sent someone to inform the other troops that as long as they could stop it for a while, a large number of Ming troops would come to support them one after another.

"Bang! Bang! ”

The Ming soldiers on horseback began to shoot at the fleeing Annan soldiers, killing many of them.

Although there were 20,000 soldiers in the Annan army, only 400 Ming cavalry did not dare to directly enter the center of the Annan army, but they also continued to ride horses around these Annan soldiers and shoot constantly.

Although they kept shooting and killing the fleeing Annan soldiers, the number of this Ming army was too small after all, and this group of Annan soldiers was 20,000 people, and it was impossible to completely stop it.

The soldiers of the Annam Army kept bypassing the Ming cavalry and fled towards the target woods several miles away.

When other units of the Ming army continued to come to support, this group of soldiers of the Annam Army had already fled two miles away. And because the Ming army only had 3,000 cavalry cruising outside the city, even if all these 3,000 cavalry arrived, it would be difficult to successfully intercept 20,000 soldiers of the Annan Army within a distance of several miles.

The Ming cavalry that came to support soon reached 2,000 people, and at this time, the remnants of the Annan army were only three or four miles away from their target.

"Intercept some of the remnants of the Annan Army first!" Seeing that he could not stop all the soldiers of the Annan Army, Han Hu decisively decided to intercept some of the soldiers of the Annan Army first.

Han Hu was the commander of the First Division of the Second Army, and he personally led the 3,000 cavalry cruising outside the city.

Immediately, the soldiers of the Annan Army, who were about 5,000 soldiers in two parts of the cavalry of the 2,000 Ming Army, intercepted them and began to shoot at these soldiers of the Annan Army continuously, and the war horses galloped around them.

"Those who descend will not be killed!" After completely intercepting the way of the more than 5,000 soldiers of the Annam Army, some Ming soldiers began to shout at them.

"Bang! Bang "Before this group of Annan Army soldiers decided to surrender, the Ming army kept pulling the trigger and shooting them.

In just a few moments, nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Annam Army were shot and killed.

"We surrender!" Seeing that it was unreasonable to continue to flee, the remaining more than 4,000 soldiers of the Annan Army all threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

At the same time as the more than 4,000 soldiers of the Annan Army were collected, other Ming cavalry also continued to arrive, and all the 3,000 Ming cavalry cruising outside the city arrived.

Han Hu left 700 people to guard the remnants of the Annan army who were captured by more than 4,000, and he continued to lead the other more than 2,000 cavalry to chase and kill the other remnants of the Annan army. Although no trace of King Annan was found, Han Hu dared to conclude that King Annan must be hiding among the remnants of the fleeing Annan army.

When Han Hu threw more than 2,000 iron horsemen to catch up with the main force of the fleeing remnants of Annan again, the remnants of Annan had already reached their escape destination.

"Hahahaha, the woods ahead, retreat into the woods!" King Annan, pretending to be an ordinary general, laughed and rushed into the forest in front of him.

The other soldiers of the Annan Army behind him also rushed into the woods one by one with great joy.

"Bang! Bang" Although Han Hu tried his best to intercept it, it was only that he intercepted more than 1,000 people before all the remnants of the Annan Army rushed into the woods, and still let more than 12,000 remnants of the Annan Army flee into the woods.

"Hey! Falling short! Han Hu was so angry that he rode with an iron face, the king of Annan must be among the remnants of the more than 10,000 Annan army who fled into the woods, and if he can't catch the king of Annan, the kingdom of Annan will not be destroyed, and there will definitely be another incident in the future.

Although he was eager to capture the king of Annan, Han Hu did not recklessly order the cavalry to follow and rush into the woods.

After about half a pillar of incense, Zhou Cao rode here with several Ming soldiers.

When attacking Hanoi from the north gate, Zhou Cao knew that the king of Annam had opened the west gate and fled from the west gate, and because the army that entered the city was all infantry, and most of the battles were still with the artillery battalion, he could not immediately form an iron cavalry, so he could only rely on the 3,000 cavalry cruising outside the city to intercept the king of Annam.

Seeing Han Hu Tieqinglian, Zhou Cao knew that King Annan had run into the woods.

"Commander, it's useless for your subordinates to intercept King Annan!" Han Hu said to Zhou Cao.

"I don't blame you, no one expected King Annan to be so decisive, and he decisively escaped from the city with the remnants of the Annan army in the city the moment before I broke the city, and this piece of forest is not far from the West Gate, King Annan still has some talent!" Zhou Cao said that he did not blame Han Hu.

After a stick of incense, the scout returned.

"Commander Qiyu, it has been explored clearly, this forest leads directly to the deep mountains and dense forests in the southwest, and the king of Annan and more than 10,000 remnants of Annan have fled through the woods into that deep mountain and dense forest!" Scout reports.

Zhou Cao immediately frowned, there are a large number of deep mountains and dense forests in Annan, and the army is not good at fighting in dense forests, so it is not easy to enter the dense forests to exterminate the king of Annan.
