Chapter 80: The Battle of the Siege III
Shouting for a long time, the marshal was still unconscious, no wonder, nearly 3,000 casualties, this is the largest casualty in Annan in the past hundred years, the marshal fainted in anger, it is really a model of worrying about the country and the people.
"Ahh With a miserable scream, as the arrow on his hip was pulled out, the handsome man's eyes woke up angrily, and his eyes were full of murder.
"The whole army is out of the city, and the commander wants to fight to the death with the Ming army!" Before the big marshal could get up, he gritted his teeth and said.
"Marshal, don't be righteous, my army is newly defeated, and morale is in a low state, so it's not suitable to fight at this time!" The general hurriedly persuaded him, looked at the commander of Annan looking at them with murderous eyes, and hurriedly added: "And the commander, you are injured and can't fight, without your guidance, the soldiers are uneasy!" ”
"Hmph, then wait for Ben Shuai to recover from his injuries before going to war, and he will definitely annihilate all the Ming army and avenge the warriors who are warriors!" The big handsome snorted angrily, accidentally twitched the wound, and screamed again.
"Lord Overseer, this can blow up the city wall!" Looking at the six large wooden boxes full of gunpowder in front of him, He Dazhuang asked with some uncertainty.
"Hehe, Lord He, rest assured, if a city wall like Datong is difficult to shake the explosives, but a century-old city wall like Siming Prefecture can definitely blow up a gap, and then it will depend on Lord He You and the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy, whether you can gather the Annan people in the city or not, all depends on the generals!" Shen Chongming clenched his fists and smiled.
Carrying gunpowder, pulling out the lead, sneering at the white smoke of the lead slowly thinking about a few large boxes fifty steps away to burn, the soldiers in charge of igniting the fire know the power of gunpowder, so much can not only blow up the city wall, but I am afraid that this tunnel will not be able to be saved, so as soon as the fuse is lit, the girl will run back, three miles, if you run slowly, you may be buried in it, then you will die of grievances.
He Dazhuang stood majestically in front of the formation, holding a spear tightly in his hand, the time had come to annihilate the monkeys of Annan, and the time had come to wash away the shame of the past.
"Boom!" There was a muffled sound. Although it was three miles away, the soldiers still felt the ground tremble lightly under their feet, and the war horses under their crotches also neighed, and then they saw that the land above the tunnel had sunk about a mile long from the top of the city, and the city wall had also collapsed into a large gap about three feet wide.
"Kill!" He Dazhuang shouted, beat his horse and rushed forward, nearly a hundred horsemen behind him followed, and the foot soldiers also shouted and ran away.
"Hehe, that's good!" In such a difficult scene, the old man was not willing to be lonely, and took clairvoyance to appreciate it.
"Old man, do you think the Annan people will start street fighting? Or just run away? Shen Chongming asked with a smile.
"Hehe, the characteristics of the Annan people are arrogant, but they are as timid as mice, the old man guesses that they will definitely escape!" The old man smiled and said, "Then what do you think they will do?" ”
"Hey, hey! Of course, it is the same as your opinion, old man, and the lower officials guess that they should go back to Annan directly! Shen Congming said with a determined face.
"Oh, what do you say!" The old man couldn't help but be interested, and he was defeated in Siming Prefecture, they should rush to Siming Prefecture, so that they could gather strength to hold Siming Prefecture.
"In this battle, the people of Annam will definitely realize that our Ming army is powerful, whether it is a siege war or a field battle, they are not our opponents, but it is not easy for them to give up easily, so they will choose to retreat as advance, retreat to Annam and use the terrain to block us, and wait for our army to return in vain when it will send troops to invade Guangxi again!" Shen Chongming analyzed in detail that this was proven in later generations.
"Hehe, that's right, when Guangxi was pacified, the Annan people were also offended, and the imperial army directly entered Annan to prepare to pacify them, but unfortunately because of the terrain, the soldiers were lost and returned in vain, and the Annan people realized the strength of my Ming Dynasty, so they paid tribute and called the ministers, and they have not violated it in the past hundred years!" The old man was familiar with the military history of this dynasty, and as soon as Shen Chongming said it, he immediately remembered the past experienced by his ancestors.
"You immediately take people to the south of the city, and you must stop the Annan people from escaping back!" In order not to let the tragedy happen again, the old man ordered.
"Old man, you don't have to worry, the terrain of Annan is not only beneficial to them, but also to us, as long as the tricks are right, it is more labor-saving than frontal combat!" Shen Chongming said with a smile, his face full of pride.
"Oh, what do you mean!" The old man looked at Shen Chongming with interest and asked, this kid can't have any bad ideas, right?
"Old man, the terrain of Annan is similar to that of Guangxi, maybe the imperial army of the year was not adaptable, but now the soldiers of the Guangxi Guard are at ease in fighting here, and they must not be worse than the Annan people, and we can now hire wolf soldiers with a lot of money, and they know more about such terrain, so the topography of Annan is also beneficial to us!" Shen Chongming didn't sell it, and directly told his plan.
"Well, that's reasonable, but being idle is also idle, the terrain around Siling Prefecture is quite flat, and the Ma army can also pursue, take advantage of this opportunity to kill as many as you can!" The old man said with a smile, looking at Shen Jianjun's gaze was even kinder, this is not a general, but a handsome talent.
Inside the city, the city wall collapsed with a loud bang, completely scaring the already low morale of the Annan soldiers, who knew that the shouts of killing had been loud all day, only to realize that the enemy army was coming, and they were suddenly in chaos.
"Gather the men and horses, this commander will fight to the death with the Ming army!" Commander Annan, who was supported by two soldiers, shouted menacingly.
"Dashuai, you can't do anything, let's withdraw!" The general who poured cold water appeared in front of the marshal again and persuaded him, his morale was low and he was unable to fight anymore.
"Bastard, when have my Annan warriors been afraid of the enemy, you immediately lead troops to plug the gap, if you dare to escape, this commander will engage you in military law!" Marshal Annan said murderously, it was all caused by this crow's mouth, if it weren't for him, how could the situation become so passive.
"Commander, the last general......" The general who poured cold water was startled, knelt on the ground and wanted to beg, at this time to kill him, it was purely to find death!
"Well, whether to go or not!" Marshal Annan casually took out a short knife from the waist of the soldier next to him, and stared at the general viciously and said.
The general knew that if he didn't go, it would be a dead end, so he could only nod in fear in his heart, and nodded to lead the men and horses to the gap.
As soon as he left on his front foot, another general hurriedly ran to the side of Marshal Annan: "Marshal, the men and horses are gathered, when will they rush out and annihilate the Ming army!" ”
"Rice bucket, you can't do anything if your morale is low, rush out and send it to death! Immediately pass on my commander's order, and the army will immediately leave the city and return home! The handsome commanded with a majestic face.
Seeing that the general was stupid and speechless, he shouted: "Don't go quickly!" "Yes, yes, the end will go!" The general agreed, glanced at the general who was fighting at the gap in the city wall, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this guy was trapped.
Facts have proved that the name of Annan's warriors is boasting, and the general of Pour Cold Water led a thousand men and horses to plug the gap, but unfortunately not long after the battle, the defense line collapsed, He Dazhuang took the lead in killing in, and Annan Marshal took the men and horses to escape with the dust raised
