Chapter 219: A Winning Battle

The soldiers of Annan had never seen such a divine object, and the army's heart was instantly chaotic, and in a panic, they retreated one after another.

Yang Congyi stepped forward with a gun, and then 500 Xuanwei troops followed, and the two sides suddenly started a melee on the crowded road.

The 500 Xuanwei army blocked the path of the advance of the Annan army, and they could only retreat, not advance.

The road was not wide, Yang Congyi led 200 men to meet the enemy in short combat, blocked the road, and did not let the enemy advance half a step.

The remaining 300 men quietly weaved around the jungle, occasionally throwing thunderbolts at the chaotic Annan army. Thunderbolts exploded from time to time from the heads of the Annan army, and the jungle road was filled with the sound of thunderbolt explosions.

The vanguard of Annam could not resist the onslaught of the Xuanwei army at all, and was completely blocked, making it difficult to advance an inch, and it was even more difficult to escape, so they began to retreat one after another.

The Central Route Army of Annam, only heard a loud noise in front of them, and suddenly could not advance, did not know what was happening, and was puzzled for a while, but they had not yet received the order of the army commander, and even if they could not advance, they could not take half a step back.

The Xuanwei army in ambush in the middle heard the sound of thunderbolt explosions in front of them, and knew that there was already a battle ahead, so they immediately lit fires.

The enemy army in the middle was in a dilemma when he suddenly saw something falling overhead. Just when they were surprised, before they could see what was falling, the sparkling thing exploded with a bang, and immediately the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the soldiers stood or lay down, screaming again and again, until then they knew that they had encountered an ambush. The Central Route Army was suddenly in chaos, and they began to think of retreating.

As more thunderbolts fell from the dense forest on both sides and exploded in the crowd, the entire central force fled without waiting for the commander to give the order.

They had never seen this kind of sharp weapon, and in their eyes, it was like a thunderbolt, and it was simply a divine object.

When the thunder falls, how can the mortal body of the flesh fetus resist it? Not even elephants with rough skin and thick flesh can't.

The thunder continued to explode in the crowd, and as the firelight and fireworks drifted around, the Annan rebel army retreated in panic among the running elephants, the road was narrow and there were many people, pushing left and right, and the speed of retreat was extremely slow, and many of the chaotic troops became the ghosts of the panicked elephants.

After the middle route army was attacked, Zhang Biao led the Xuanwei army to attack the rear army of Annan almost at the same time, and for a time thunderbolts fell from the sky, flames were everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the back road of the Annan army was blocked in an instant.

On the road in the forest, thunderbolts flew everywhere, and the 3,000 Annan troops were blocked in the jungle, and they were exhausted, and before they saw the enemy, they were dizzy by the thunderstorm, and they were not allowed to move forward, and they could not retreat, not only bombarded by the thunder, but also trampled by elephants.

The rebel army in the middle was difficult to retreat, thinking that the way back was blocked by the general, and forcibly forced them to rush forward to kill, but they were bombarded by thunder and thunder forward, which was obviously a dead end. When the soldiers could not resist the catastrophe, when they were alive and dead, they were about to die on the spot, where could they still take care of the general's orders, so in order to flee the soldiers raised their knives and frantically slashed at the people who blocked their way.

The Chinese soldiers attacked and killed together before and after, and the chaotic army was even more chaotic.

After a short time, the Annan rebels no longer had the slightest formation, and only ran backwards for their lives, and many people even lost their weapons in their hands, just to run faster.

The Annan army was armed with rudimentary weapons, and it was completely vulnerable in the face of the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty, which had never been seen before.

Half an hour later, casualties fell to the ground, and there were everywhere, some were killed and wounded by thunderbolts, trampled to death and trampled by the rebels and elephants, and some were killed and slashed by the rebels. Only a small half of the enemy army is still alive, and they can only choose to surrender.

At this point, the 3,000 Annan army had no combat strength, many were either dead or seriously injured, and only more than 1,000 people could still surrender.

Zhang Biao led people to guard the back road, and almost no one escaped from the road, but the jungle could not be taken into account, I don't know how many enemy troops fled and ran into the jungle, Xuanwei had few soldiers and could not catch up.

As soon as the war subsided, Zhang Biao led a hundred men to quickly chase north along the main road, and set up an ambush twenty miles away.

With his years of experience in tracking fugitives, fugitives who have escaped into the mountains will inevitably return to the main road after avoiding danger, so that they can run faster and farther. Earlier, the spies had reported that there was actually only one road in the north, and no matter how far these Annan enemy troops fled, they would eventually have to return to the main road, and they were not afraid of not being able to catch them.

The Xuanwei army did not fight many head-to-head, and the casualties were very small. As soon as the war subsided, Yang Congyi took nearly 900 Xuanwei troops to disarm more than 1,000 enemy troops in Annam and escorted them all back to the coast.

Among these people, Yang Congyi did not find the general of the enemy army in Annam. No one knows where their general is.

Since he was not in the surrender army, and he was not found in the seriously wounded and dead enemy army, it should have been a battle, and he should have run away first.

How to deal with these descents? Yang Congyi couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Kill? Naturally, he can't kill them all, he can't do it. Put? It is impossible to let them all go, otherwise they will turn around and form an army, and they will also have to attack and harass.

Two hundred years ago, when the Annam people were still ruled by the Central Plains, they spoke in Chinese, and the words they used were all Chinese characters. It's just that when the Central Plains Dynasty was in turmoil, it was taken advantage of by others and waited for an opportunity to become an independent country. This time, the Great Song Dynasty sent an envoy to Annan again, intending to contact and let Annan rejoin the Great Song Dynasty.

Now these surrendered enemy troops in Annam, seeing the divine might of the Great Song Heavenly Army, squatted on the seashore and did not dare to act rashly.

But how to deal with these Annan people, Yang Congyi has no suitable way, he can only wait for Zhang Biao to bring back the commander of this Annan army, and then make plans.

More than 1,000 people who surrendered could not all be brought on board, and two warships could not carry more people. Besides, even if you can bring it, it can't guarantee safety, after all, there are only 1,000 people in the Xuanwei Army, and there are more than 1,000 people in the surrendered army, if they are all used to watch them, the Xuanwei Army doesn't have to do anything.

Thinking about it, maybe there is only one way, take them by land, all the way south.

On the way south, there should be two or three small cities in Annam, and then continue to the south, you can reach the city of Champ, which was originally one of the destination countries of the envoy, but how to act, you have to be the master of the decision.

The idea was made, and Yang Congyi asked all the grassroots officers who had surrendered to the army to be found.

Two quarters of an hour later, fifty or sixty junior officers, all called.

Yang Congyi looked at their skin color, which was not much different from the people of the Central Plains, but their complexions were more yellow.

Immediately said: "I am the commander of the Great Song Heavenly Army, the Xuanwei Army supervises the army, and I am fully responsible for the security of the mission. I don't know where you came from or what you are doing. But your hostility has long been clear to the Celestial Empire. The Celestial Empire and Annan were originally one country, but they were destroyed by careerists to become the two countries they are today. Now give you a chance, if you are willing to return to the Celestial Empire, listen to my dispatch, and become a member of the Celestial Empire again, stand on my side. Whether you want to be a member of the Celestial Empire or a native of Annam, you choose for yourself. ”

After speaking, Yang Congyi immediately took out his long sword and looked at the fifty or sixty grassroots officers of the Annan Army, the meaning was very clear, if you don't want to be attached, then wait for the sword to serve.

These Annan people naturally understood Yang Congyi's words, they looked at each other, but no one dared to stand up and be the first person.

No one dares to do it, not all the time no one dares to do it, once you can't stand it, someone will always come out and be the first person.

After about a quarter of an hour of cold confrontation, when Yang Congyi gradually lost patience, a person suddenly got up and walked towards him, and said: "I am willing to return to the Celestial Empire and swear to serve the general." ”

Yang Congyi was overjoyed in his heart, stepped forward, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, those who know the times are Junjie." From now on, you are the commander of this army, managing five hundred men! ”

As the first person stood up, thirty or forty people came one after another.

As soon as these people came over, Yang Congyi said: "I am merciful, I will give you half an hour to consider, when the time comes, whether it is life or death, you will ask for more blessings." ”

Then Yang Congyi commanded loudly: "Bring the rope."

Someone from Xuanwei Army agreed, and after a short time, he brought over a lot of hemp rope.

Those grassroots officers, looking at the rope they carried, and at this time they were on the beach, they naturally understood what the Great Song people meant, and immediately more than ten people returned to the Heavenly Empire.

As soon as the time came, Yang Congyi immediately asked the Xuanwei Army to tie up those officers who had not come, and immediately announced: "These people used to be from the Celestial Empire, and they supported the separatists and split the territory of the Celestial Empire when they took advantage of the war in the north of the Celestial Empire and the war every year. At this time, the Celestial Empire returned, and they were still stubborn, raising swords to guard the tombs of the rebellious ministers and thieves. According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, these people forgot their ancestors, raised troops to rebel, and should exterminate the nine clans. But today, the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty came from Lin'an, so they gave them a chance. The families of the prisoners will not be prosecuted for the time being, but they themselves must be subject to the law of the country. ”

Yang Congyi immediately sentenced more than 10 grassroots officers in Annan to death.

After the verdict was announced, Xuanwei Jun ignored their shouts and immediately dragged the more than 10 people onto the warship, and after traveling 30 feet, they were openly pushed into the sea.

After the execution, more than 1,000 soldiers below the grassroots officers surrendered, and under the leadership of the grassroots officers who returned to the Song Dynasty, they all shouted "willing to belong to the Celestial Empire".

Seeing this, Yang Congyi immediately promised: "The army that returns to the Great Song Dynasty will have a monthly salary, 30 copper coins, no worries about food and clothing, three meals a day, and no hunger." Annan is the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and if you want to come back in the future, you can come back at any time. But within two years, you must follow the Great Song army, first go south to Zhancheng, Zhenla and other Nanyang countries, and follow the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty. If you perform well within two years, you can be promoted, and you can enter the best army forbidden army in the Great Song Dynasty, and enjoy supreme treatment. ”

In a short time, more than 1,000 people successfully annexed, and suddenly became the army of the Great Song Dynasty.
