Lin Xiao knew that this was the last barrier of Zheng Ke's camp, and without hesitation, he shot down the commander of the thousand, and loudly ordered it to be suppressed by continuous fire, the carbine behind him was more powerful than him, and the rain of bullets flew towards this human defense line, and the armor could not protect at all.

The performance of the seafarers who only had rifles in their hands was not bad at all, except for Lu Haisheng, Hou Wen and others, who had gone through the tense period, also followed closely behind Lin Xiao, shooting one point after another while running forward.

After the magazine was fired, even when the magazine was changed, his footsteps did not stop at all, and he fully played the level of training.

Lin Xiao gave them a thumbs up with satisfaction, beckoning them to follow him and charge forward in a wedge-shaped fire.

After the two magazines were fired, there were no invincible soldiers in front of him, and in front of him was Zheng Ke's battalion.

When Lin Xiao came, Zheng Ke, who was standing at the gate of the camp, was cold and discouraged.

His face was pale, his lips were pale, his beard trembled and trembled, and his eyes sunken into his sockets were like a pair of fire beads, blood-red.

He had never suffered such a defeat, more than 40,000 elites were wiped out in a blink of an eye, but he couldn't even rush to the enemy's approach, and the number of enemies killed was almost zero.

The soldiers beside him were still begging him to retreat, but he didn't say a word, holding his sword motionless, like an empty shell with an empty soul drained.

When Lin Xiao and his party came, Zheng Ke still had dozens of personal soldiers around him, and when they saw this, they all pulled out their long knives to protect their commanders, and the soldiers behind Lin Xiao also raised their carbines in unison, and the two sides formed a brief confrontation.

At this moment, Zheng Ke spoke: "Put it down, don't resist." ”

"Handsome! Handsome! Handsome! The soldiers knelt down and cried loudly.

"Under the command of the Great Ming Qin Wang Yijun, Lin Xiao, Your Excellency must be General Zheng, right?" Lin Xiao spoke first.

"The general of the defeated army, Zheng Ke." Zheng Ke said hoarsely: "The general has been defeated today, and he wants to kill or chop, but it depends on Lord Lin." It's just that these personal soldiers around Ben Jiang have followed Ben General for many years, and they have not participated in the war today, so I implore you to let them live. ”

"It's easy to say, it's just that General Zheng has to be wronged to go back to the camp next time." After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he shook his head. Hou Wen and Ma Xiaoyang, who were behind him, immediately stepped forward to arrest Zheng Ke, and all the relatives and soldiers cried and knelt together under the carbine, but they did not dare to step forward to stop them.

After the war was over, the remnants of the soldiers who were grinding foreign workers in the West Lake naturally retreated, and the calm gradually returned to the surroundings of the old port camp.

More than 20,000 Vietnamese soldiers were captured in this battle, and dozens of officers above the commander level were captured, countless people were killed and wounded, and the captured swords, guns, and other ordnance were piled up into a small mountain.

"Well done!" Lin Xiao returned to the camp, saw Liu Xulei, and punched him in the shoulder, making this little man almost unable to stand firm, "I want to give you credit!" First-class merit! ”

The war in the south took the shortest time, and there were many prisoners, which gave Lin Xiao a reassuring pill early, and also greatly stabilized the morale of the army, Lin Xiao was very happy.

"Thank you, Captain!" Liu Xulei snapped and stood upright, and solemnly saluted a military salute.

……

After a short pause, Lin Xiao immediately ordered someone to shoot another letter to the city.

There are only two contents in the letter: first, the Ming army will not intervene because Annan sent people to collect the wounded and corpses; Second, the deadline is three days, and the Annam court must send personnel to negotiate post-war matters, and the imperial city must be attacked after the expiration date.

On such a hot day, the corpse must be disposed of quickly!

That night, before the meal, the soldiers of the whole army took turns to bathe in the Red River. Originally, most of them bathed in the West Lake a few days ago, and only those with good water quality went to the Red River to wash, but now the floating corpses in the West Lake have not been salvaged, so they can only wash in the Red River.

After taking a bath, the whole army had a meal, and the soldiers who had changed into clean military uniforms were beaming, and the whole team sang loudly before the meal. Lin Xiao made an exception and ordered the addition of two meat dishes: bacon fried bamboo shoots, and dried fish steamed bacon.

This meal, even Lu Hua ate with a mouth full of oil. Of course, it was because Lin Xiao didn't let her go to the battlefield and didn't see the bloody scene, otherwise, she wouldn't want to eat for at least three days.

……

The army of 60,000 collapsed in only half a day, and Li Weizhen fell ill in fright, hiding in the harem and refusing to go to court.

The ministers of the court and the central government are like frosted eggplants, all wilted, silent, leaving a bunch of bad things all up to Zheng Nahu to make up his mind.

Zheng Nahu was like falling into an ice cave, his heart was in turmoil, fear, pain, depression, despair, all kinds of complex emotions filled his heart, and he was also shaky.

finally managed to deal with the trivial chores, and the letter from the Ming army arrived again.

After reading the letter, Zheng Nahu hurriedly issued an order to organize personnel to go out of the city to collect the dead and wounded in the war and take care of the aftermath.

After giving the order, Zheng Nahu waved his hand to let the housekeeper, servants, and maids all go out, and slumped in the chair, he no longer had the strength to pace.

Painful to the bone marrow, he closed his eyes and tried his best to calm himself down, but he couldn't calm down no matter what.

The army was destroyed, Zheng Ke was captured, the imperial city was taken and taken, the people's hearts were in turmoil, and many people in the outer city had fled.

What made Zheng Nahu most desperate was that even if he negotiated peace with the Ming army, even if he ceded land and paid compensation, giving money and food to people was not the most fatal, and it seemed that the Ming army would leave sooner or later. The most terrible thing is that once the Nguyen clan in the south hears the wind and takes the opportunity to attack, his court will be finished.

The Ruan clan of the Southern Dynasty, who had been fighting for decades, was the big trouble.

Thinking about it, the more Zheng Nahu thought about it, the more sad he became, and the more he thought about it, the more hopeless he felt.

……

Lin Xiao also has a hard time here, it is not difficult to capture Tokyo, the difficulty is that although Annan is not big, it is impossible to pacify and send troops to garrison everywhere, and officials must be placed in various places, and additional manpower needs to be sent to mines in various places.

Not to mention that there is no manpower at the moment, even if you can find manpower, these things will basically not be completed in a year and a half.

What's more, if the Northern Dynasty is destroyed, once the Southern Dynasty, which has lost its balance and encroaches on the border, will be another beacon fire, and when the north and south are all subsided, the daylily will be cold.

The most important thing is to train the troops and return to China as soon as possible!

Once the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty is finished, the people of the Ming Dynasty will lose hope of recovering the country, and they will be like ashes, and they will be numb and forced to become the people of the Great Qing Dynasty, forced to shave their hair and become slaves.

"There is no China after Yashan, and there is no China after the death of the Ming Dynasty!"

Of course, Lin Xiao, who came from later generations, knew the meaning of this sentence, if he wanted to prevent the destruction of Chinese culture, then he must quickly cut through the chaos and quickly deal with the mess of Annan.

After thinking about it again and again, the next day, he went to see Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke was not tied up, but was held in a separate tent, and Zheng Ke, who was desperate, neither ate nor drank, but just blindly begged for death.

Zheng Ke was not surprised by Lin Xiao's arrival, he could guess Lin Xiao's intention, but he didn't want to cooperate, because he had no face to go back to see the lord alive.

But the first words Lin Xiao said after sitting down made Zheng Ke waver.
