In the thick smoke of the southern city of Duobang, the sound of footsteps and horses' hooves resounded through the world. Patches of red tassels swayed on the ground, and the wide-eaves iron helmets and Rulin knives and spears spread like a torrent to the north.

The Annam army on the opposite side seemed to be more numerous, with herds of war elephants armed to the teeth, and infantry following closely to the left and right. The heavy footsteps of countless war elephants stepped on the brick floor together, and the earth seemed to tremble.

"Boom, boom, boom......" Suddenly, the large and small artillery in front of the Ming army crowd rang out in unison, and the crackling fire guns rang out, and a large cloud of white smoke rose up in the sound like thunder.

"Woo......" the elephants chirped in horror. The war elephants, clad in leather armor and sharp weapons, were tall and terrifying, but as soon as the firearms rang near, they did not listen to the cries of the tamers, and turned and ran.

There was chaos in the Annam army, and the infantry avoided the hasty elephants.

At this moment, the Ming infantry in the south gradually moved to both sides, as if a floodgate had been opened in the phalanx. The sound of horses' hooves behind suddenly roared through the sky, and a stream of brightly colored cavalry rushed out!

Those war horses are very eye-catching and dazzling, and they are all covered in colorful tiger skins! General Zhang Fu knew that there were many war elephants in the Annan army, and the tiger skin that was painted by people was wrapped around the war horse. This trick was not Zhang Fu's first creation, Mu Ying used to fight the elephant soldiers of the toast, and the effect was good, and Zhang Fu repeated his old skills.

So the cavalry of the Ming army looked as if they were riding a tiger, and the tiger stripes were colorful and very eye-catching.

A cavalryman riding a tiger-striped war horse in front of him, more than ten steps away from the Annan army, was hit by several guns, and even the war horse screamed and neighed and fell to his knees. The cavalry behind continued to rush and went straight into the crowd, and many of the Annam soldiers lost their firearms and fled.

The war elephants had long since run away, and the remaining infantry of the Annam Army was expelled by the Ming army and kept retreating; Soon, the infantry in front and behind the Annan army all poured together, and the crowd became denser and denser. For a while, the street was like an explosion, and the dense crowd was boiling.

Many of Annan's soldiers were thrown to the ground. Several horses trampled back and forth on a soldier, and the screams of the soldier were soon drowned out in the hustle and bustle of the crowd.

The cavalry rushed to the crowd, and the knight of the Ming army was very brave, roared, and stabbed to death a foot soldier of the Annan army in front of him with a single shot. Then the knight condescendingly swept with his rifle and knocked another soldier to the ground. The horse rushed into the crowd, unable to move on, its hooves suddenly raised in the air.

The infantry of the Annam Army also wanted to dodge in the face of the condescending onslaught of the iron cavalry, but at this time, the crowd was already very congested, and people had nowhere to hide. "Ahh The cavalryman of the enemy squad screamed in pain, and was stabbed in the back by a foot soldier with a spear. Then more foot soldiers rushed up from the surroundings, and soon dragged the stopped cavalry off their horses, and soon disappeared, except for a scream.

After a while, there was a chaotic sound like a rapid hail behind the horse team, which was the sound of the Ming infantry running up and stepping on the bricks of the street.

In the midst of the shouts of "kill and kill, ......" poured into the sea, the infantry of the Ming army, which had long been out of formation, rushed straight into the enemy crowd with spears, swords and shields and other weapons. The torrent-like infantry wrapped in colorful cavalry rushed towards the crowd of the Annan army.

Many fell to the ground and never got back up. The streets were in chaos, people were struggling and shouting and scuffling on the ground, and the Ming soldiers who rushed up only cared about slashing and killing the rebels on the ground. It was as if everyone was shouting, and the sound was deafening.

With a "boom", suddenly a cloud of dust rose up, and a bamboo building collapsed. The Ming soldiers still jumped into the smoke, and the bright knives loomed, and they cut people when they caught them.

Tribulus terrestris were thrown out, leaving behind burning black smoke in the air.

"Bang!" The gunpowder in a fire thistle burst first, and the infantry of the Annan Army stepped on the iron thistle scattered on the ground, screaming and falling down many people, and the chaos spread deeper and deeper.

The huge war elephant was too timid, and when it was caught up by the Ming army, it was running north, facing the Ming army. A war elephant was stabbed with spears and slashed with axes and blood, and it struggled wildly in the crowd, and the Annan soldier on its back screamed in surprise and was thrown down.

A war elephant was lying in a pool of blood, still whimpering, only its nose swaying from time to time, looking at an Annan soldier in front of him crying and screaming, being desperately stabbed by a few cherry blossom guns.

…… On the upper floor of Nancheng City, Yin Baihu was sitting next to a pillar, staring blankly at the turbulent scene in the city. His head was "bu......zzing", his hands were shaking, he couldn't stop even after reaching out and patting twice, and he didn't have any strength in his body.

There are more than 100 people under Yin Baihu's command, and there are only 20 left, most of them are still injured, and the entire Baihu team has long been unable to fight. So they stayed on the castle tower, and they had no intention of going down to fight.

He watched motionless as countless people fought frantically, and I don't know how long it took for his head to move slightly, and he found that the acquaintance sitting next to him was Liu Laohan. Liu Laohan's mouth was cracked, with a very strange expression, and he also stared at the city in a daze.

"Liu Xiaoqi's life is really big, no wonder he can live to be fifty years old." Yin Baihu said in a hoarse voice.

Liu Laohan turned his head to look at him, but he didn't say anything. After a long time, Liu Laohan said loudly: "Live to this, it doesn't matter if you live or die." ”

Yin Baihu snorted, speechless.

At this moment, I suddenly saw General Huang Zhong walk into the city tower. Huang Zhong walked in and said, "Brothers, everyone has a reward!" ”

No one responded to the general's words, and the remaining half-dead people seemed to have little interest in the reward. Huang Zhong said again: "The dead brothers also have generous pensions!" You stood up first, and Zhang Dashuai came to the city. ”

Only then did the troops support each other and stand up one after another, and everyone was silent, perhaps they really had no strength.

After a while, I saw Zhang Dashuai walking into the city tower surrounded by a group of generals in bright armor. Zhang Dashuai first looked around at the surrounding soldiers, and Huang Zhongren immediately bowed with a look of worship: "The last general will wait to meet Dashuai!" "There are also many soldiers who follow the military salute one after another.

Zhang Dashuai shook his fist on the side of his face, and stared at the scene of smoke and fire flickering outside the city tower without saying a word. There was still a buzz in the air.

After a long time, Zhang Dashuai sighed in a sad tone: "In this victory, the soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. ”

Huang Zhong hurriedly said: "The main force of the Annam Army is not in the eastern capital of Thang Long (Hanoi), let alone the western capital (Thanh Hoa) in the south, but it is in this city!" With the national strength and population of Annam, they have almost exhausted their strength in this battle. Fortunately, the commander was well organized, and in less than a month, he captured the heavy city and cut off the main force of the enemy. Although the soldiers shed blood and suffered casualties, they won the battle, and it was worth it! ”

Zhang Fu was noncommittal, and it seemed that the victory was not as exciting as he imagined. The two generals said a few words, and the generals followed them out of the castle tower and went east together.

Yin Baihu and the others invariably sat down again and continued to be in a daze like a dead man.

He didn't want to say anything, there were only about twenty wounded soldiers left under his command, what else was there to say?

But it's still better than catching those people in front of me this morning, there are more than a dozen hundred households in front, and there are almost no lives left from the hundred households below the generals.

Yin Baihu only felt that following Huang Zhong was pouring blood mold! After all, the overall casualties of the Ming army were not so large, and only the death squad under Huang Zhong was so miserable.

At this time, Liu Xiaoqi said in a low voice: "I heard that General Huang was arrested and imprisoned before, and this time he made a great contribution in front of Zhang Dashuai, I am afraid that it will be time to run." ”

The fighting in the city of Duobang did not stop two days after the city was broken. This important western town located on the Great River Plain has completely turned into a Shura field, and the streets are covered with corpses and bloodstains, and the breath of death fills the smoke of Xiao Killing.

The fighting has spread outside the city, mainly on the riverside north of the city. On three sides of the land, the fortifications of the Ming army have been besieged, and only on the river can there be a naval division to respond.

However, most of the people who escaped from the river were generals and officials, and the capacity of the warships was very limited, and they also faced the danger of the Ming army seizing the ships. Many escaped from the city and died by the river.

The prodigal son on the river, every time he hits the shore, there will be countless corpses looming in the water.

…… In addition to Zhang Fu's more than 100,000 troops participating in the battle, most of Zhu Gaoxu's Western Route Army was also infantry, and the guard general Liu Ying and Shu general Li Rang led the army in the southeast, and they also followed into the city when the city was broken.

However, Zhu Gaoxu himself was not in Duobang City, he was still in the camp in Xishan.

Two days after the city was broken, Zhu Gaoxu received good news. It is estimated on the good news that about 200,000 people have won the first level of the Annan Army!

The Annan army was so strong, and with the strong fortifications of the city of Dobang, it was destroyed in less than a month!? Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that although he had never despised Zhang Yu's son, he still underestimated him a little.

In the battle of Annanguo, Zhang Fuju made great contributions, this person is really powerful!

Zhu Gaoxu thought that if he went to attack Duobang City, he might not be able to take it within a month. Because Duobang City and Komaru State are not the same thing at all.

He knew very well in his heart that it would not be easy to attack a large city with heavy defense, and he would not be able to capture it for a few years if he was unlucky. Just like back then, Zhu Di led more than 200,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Army to besiege Jinan and Jinan, and after several battles, he still couldn't take it down.

Zhu Gaoxu put down the good news, and then he said to a military general beside him: "The city of Duobang has been broken, and the reinforcements from Annan on the other side of the Heishui River are late. You continue to send scouts to watch them if they are still coming. ”

The military general hugged his fists and said: "Get the order!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu paced a few steps in the tent, and intuitively felt that after the battle of Duobang City, the Ming army had already decided to win the battle against Annan. As the supreme commander of this battle, he had to quickly think about the aftermath of the war.

It's good to win a war, but it's best if it can be avoided.
