Chapter 311: The Whole Country Resists the Enemy (4)
It was as if the river had burst its banks, and the turbid river water mixed with all kinds of debris tumbled and poured into the city; On the streets of Komaru Prefecture, crazy crowds and war horses are running.
The rout of the Annan army was also running, and from time to time someone was squeezed or tripped over, or was injured by an arrow, and soon he would be drowned in the crowd by the mad soldiers of the Ming army, and there would be no corpse. A young Annanite with a torch in his hand raised his head and panted for breath and ran desperately with the crowd.
After a while, he found that the firearm without ammunition in his hand was as useless as a stick, and at this time, the generals and soldiers had long been unable to recognize each other, and there was no time to stop and reload to fight back.
"Ahhh......h He fell to the ground, screaming like a dog with its tail stepped on, and fluttering to get up, because he knew what it would mean to stop and be chased by the "madman". The language barrier is not even a surrender.
As soon as he stood up, he noticed that there was also a large group of enemy soldiers rushing in front of him, so it was no wonder that the people in front suddenly stopped. With a "bang", a person hit the ground and gave birth, he stumbled, fell to the ground again, and hurriedly crawled to the ground trying to find a place to hide. There was a house on the side of the street, and many soldiers had slammed open the door, and they were pouring inside. Hou Sheng was scared and anxious, and wanted to hide inside, but he was immediately crushed by another person who fell, and he struggled a few times and couldn't get up.
"Ding Ding Bang ......" The Ming soldiers smashed directly into the crowd with knives and guns, stabbing with knives and guns, and the terrible appearance of not killing was as if they were going to bite Annan soldiers to death with their teeth.
Hou Sheng trembled all over, and even had no strength to struggle, huddled under a corpse in the corner, he stared at several enemy soldiers with bloodstained faces stabbing at an Annan soldier on the ground, and the Annan soldier had long since stopped moving, and was still slashed at least a dozen times.
A Ming soldier was slashed on his shoulder armor by a resistant, and the knife cut a bloody cut on his cheek, leaving blood all over his face and neck, but he was still twisting the hair of an Annan soldier, and holding the knife on the man's neck like stomping on ribs.
Blood flowed on the ground, and blood mist flew in the air, which was even more terrifying than a chaotic slaughterhouse. Nearby houses were set on fire, and many of the soldiers who had taken refuge in the houses escaped from the smoke and were cut beyond recognition.
…… Fires were burning in many parts of the city, screams and screams were everywhere, and corpses were everywhere, as if there was a sudden aftermath of an earthquake.
The Ming army rushed to the dock inside the water gate, and even the boat was full of Ming soldiers.
Many warships on the docks and in the harbor were on fire, and some were robbed by the Ming army and sailed into the river. The naval divisions of the Annam Army on the river seemed to have no one to command, and some of them ran straight to the east, and countless warships were abandoned in the harbor and riverside.
This rich town on the riverside plains seemed to suddenly become a dead city the next morning. The artillery fire has stopped, the fighting has stopped, and the people should be far from dead, but at this time, all the soldiers and civilians of Annam are trembling under the iron hooves of the Ming army, hiding in their homes or corners, and no one comes out into the streets.
Occasionally, there was a sound of firecrackers or strings, like the sound of hunting in the wilderness. The mist was mixed with the smell of burnt and disgusting fish, and there was a strong sense of murder in the lifelessness.
A bloody Red Army flag with the word "Ming" written on it appeared from under the tower, and then a queue of foot riders marched neatly from the blood stains and corpses, and the sound of neat infantry footsteps and the dense sound of iron hooves resounded.
The inscriptions were posted on the walls everywhere, and Zhu Gaoxu, who was riding on a brown horse, looked sideways slightly, and a column of Chinese characters flashed in front of him: "Do not take goods and wealth in vain, do not plunder people's wives and daughters, and do not kill those who are subordinated." But in the corner of the wall next to it, the body of a disheveled woman with pale and blue skin was being dumped there.
War is like this, and it is a joke to avoid brutality altogether, just as it is to prevent the death and injury of the soldiers and brothers, unless it ends peacefully. A long shout came from afar: "Wang Shi hangs the people to fight crimes, eradicates tyranny, and the people of Annam are blessed......"
Zhu Gaoxu led the army to the outside of the yamen of the state capital, which had been guarded by the soldiers of the Ming army, and a group of officials of the Annan State knelt at the door, one of them holding a seal in both hands.
Zhao Ping turned over and dismounted, walked in front of the official, reached out and picked up the seal, took out a handkerchief and wiped it repeatedly, and then walked to Zhu Gaoxu's horse and held it up with both hands.
Zhu Gaoxu picked up the seal, turned it over and looked at it, and the engraved words were actually Chinese characters.
At this moment, Liu Ying rode over, dismounted and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wang, after the last general entered the city, he went to the Water Gate first, captured more than 80 warships, and burned the enemy ships. ”
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Select soldiers who can fight in the water, rectify the naval army, control the river here, and deploy firearms in the port of Mumaru Prefecture." In the event of a counterattack by the enemy's naval division, the naval army immediately retreated to the bank of the Watergate River, and the water and land echoed the defense. ”
Liu Ying hugged her fists and said: "Get the order!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at it and shouted, "Commander Wang." ”
Wang Bin stepped forward and said, "The last general!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Immediately lead the forward men and horses to erect a pontoon bridge on the river." ”
Wang Bin said: "Get the order!" ”
At this moment, the official who was kneeling on the ground holding the seal box actually spoke in Chinese: "It turns out that you are His Royal Highness the King of Han, who is wise and powerful, invincible, and famous all over the world!" When the criminal official heard the name of the king of Han, he was like thunder, and he failed to immediately surrender the city, and the criminal official was very wrong......"
Zhu Gaoxu listened and asked, "Are you Ruan Gongzhuo?" ”
The middle-aged official was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I'm ashamed, the criminal official is exact." ”
Zhu Gaoxu said: "The Ming Emperor ordered the soldiers to come for justice and justice, and to punish the Hu family for the unethical crimes of killing the monarch and usurping the throne and preying on the common people. You were originally a minister of the Chen family, why don't you change your evil and return to the right and become a loyal minister of the Chen monarch again? ”
Ruan Gonggui said happily: "Does the criminal officer still have a chance to make up for his mistakes?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu jumped off his horse and put the seal back in the box in his hand: "If you want, you can still be the chief official of Mumaru Prefecture, and gather those civil and military forces who are willing to be loyal to the Chen clan to restore order in Mumaru Prefecture." Inspect the mob everywhere to create chaos and avoid more crimes caused by war. ”
Ruan Gonggui bowed and said: "His Royal Highness King Xie Han is not to blame for the past!" ”
"Wen Ruan Gong cherishes the people, if you continue to take charge of Mumaru Prefecture, the people of Annam will be very lucky." Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward to help Ruan Gonggui with his own hands, and the surrounding soldiers and soldiers did not say a word, but they all stared at the every move of these Annan people.
Zhu Gaoxu said, and walked towards the gate with the soldiers, he wanted to ask the soldiers around him to look through the official documents, whether there were any secrets of the Annan Army.
But when he asked someone to open the door of the lobby, he was stunned for a moment, because there was no official document in the lobby, but a room of women huddled in the hall was crowded! All kinds of musical instruments and colorful clothes are thrown into a mess.
It turned out that when the two armies were desperately working on and off the city wall, the landlord would be here to play with women. After the battle, he immediately changed his surname Hu to Chen, and he was still a noble bureaucrat, so he could continue to play women.
