Chapter 821: Battle of Annan - After the Break

When these people said this, they suddenly heard Hu Hancang say: "Our army will not be able to completely annihilate the left army of the Ming Kingdom. If they were given one night, they would be able to erect enough camp for an army of 150,000 to rest, and even if there was oil and artillery, it would be impossible to defeat them in one blow; And now that it is getting late, for the sake of safety, He Rong will not let the rest of the soldiers land tonight, so he can only attack these Ming troops now, in order to annihilate them all. "Although Hu Hancang is a little intoxicated when he hears these sycophants, he still has the basic ability to distinguish between them, and he still won't accept complete nonsense.

What's more, now Da Yu is in charge of his father, although he is the emperor, there is not much difference between him and the emperor, if it were not for the threat of life and death now that Da Yu is facing life, Hu Jichen will probably not allow him to leave the capital alone to lead the army.

The people who were patting their sycophants were busy, and some of them probably thought that there was still the Emperor Hu Jichen in the Western Capital, and they didn't dare to praise Hu Hancang anymore.

Besides, Hu Hancang couldn't care about listening to their sycophants at this time. The elite of Annan had already walked in front of the low fence of the Ming army, and the twelve cannons that Hu Hancang had temporarily pulled from under the city of Yi'an had begun to roar, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the camp of the Ming army, and he did not stagger for a moment.

After all, Annan is a small country, and the development of artillery has only begun last year, so there are not many barrels and shells, and those roaring cannons stopped without firing a few rounds, and then, five thousand Annan elites rushed in from the broken gap.

The North Nose Motoshin and Kusunoki Fang Ze led the samurai they trusted the most and who had followed them more than ten years ago around me, listening to what the person in front of them was saying with a very ugly expression.

"I'm here to do something, Cao commands the military order, and the Fusang army will immediately go to plug the gap in the east." One of the guards beside Cao Tai also said to me who was being protected.

I also came to look east at the same time as Nanmu Fangze and Beibi Yuanxin. Because of the large number of fences and wood that had been burned before, it was the place where the Annamite people chose to rush in.

The soldiers stationed there just now are the Semu people, Cao Tai has used the fastest speed to organize the Semu people after finding out that the Annan people chose to rush in from the east, but the fire there was too strong before, and it has not been completely extinguished, and it was bombarded by artillery before, and the remaining Semu people, in the terminology of the game, are extremely low in organization, when the Annan people rushed in, most of them were killed or surrendered, and only a very small number of soldiers insisted on resisting.

Cao Tai could only look for other troops who could hold back until the ships that picked up their retreat returned. Although the mahout guard had basically restored order at this time, he was still reluctant to use the Han army.

At this time, he found the Fuso army in the same neat formation, so he sent his guards to give orders.

The three of them all understood that even if they could hold out until those ships came back, it would be impossible for them to withdraw to the ships at this time, which was equivalent to being behind the palace and behind the entire army.

I bowed my head and was silent, not answering the guard's words. The guard immediately said, "Why, I have to disobey the order?" โ€

"You ......" Nanmu Fangze was furious, and was about to reprimand this guard, but when he heard me come and speak a word in Japanese, he lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.

When I came, I immediately said to the guards in front of me: "I know, please rest assured that Commander Cao, as long as there is still one person in my Fusang army who is not dead, I will never let any Annan people approach the seashore." โ€

"Please, sir." The guard could see from my gaze that his words were not casual, and he couldn't help but bow and salute.

I returned the salute and said, "I only hope that when the rescue ships arrive, if there are still people alive in our Fusang army by then, Commander Cao can send the rest of the army to rescue the last of our blood." โ€

"Don't worry, Lord Cao, Commander Cao will definitely save you when the time comes." The guard knew that Cao Tai would at least save me, so he said so.

After the soldiers who gave the order left, I also turned my head and said to Beibi Yuanxin and Nanmu Fangze: "I wanted to lead you to make great achievements in Annan, and I didn't want to succeed in great things, at least let a few of you have fine clothes and food for the rest of your lives, but now it seems that you can't." โ€

"Don't say that, Lord. Dedication to the Lord is the glory of our warriors. But Lord, your safety is still at the risk of the lives of all our samurai, and I ask you to board the ship as soon as the rescue ship arrives. Beibi Yuanxin and Nanmu Fangze said.

Dedication to the Lord is the glory of our warriors. The safety of the Lord is at the risk of the lives of all our samurai, and I ask that the Lord board the ship as soon as the rescue ship arrives. All the samurai who heard the two of them said in unison.

I was about to say something more, and said with a smile: "The Semu people are finished, and it's time for us Fuso samurai to perform." This is the first time that our Fuso samurai have fought overseas since helping Silla resist the invasion of the Tang Empire on the Korean Peninsula more than 700 years ago, and we must let the Ming and Annam people know how powerful the Fuso samurai were. โ€

"Fang Ze, do you still remember what your ancestor Nan Gong said to Ji Gong before he was loyal?"

"Yes." Nanmu Fangze said: "ไบบ้–“ใฏๆญปใฌใจใใฎไธ€ๅฟตใง็”Ÿใพใ‚Œๅค‰ใ‚ใ‚‹ใจใ„ใ†ใ€‚ ใใชใŸใฏไฝ•ใ‚’ๅฟตใšใ‚‹ใ‹? (It is said that people are reborn with the thought of dying, what do you think?) ๏ผ‰

"ไธƒๅ›žใพใงไบบ้–“ใซ็”Ÿใพใ‚Œๅค‰ใ‚ใ‚Šใ€ๆœๆ•ต(่ถณๅˆฉๆฐใฎใ“ใจ)ใ‚’ๆป…ใผใ—ใŸใ„ใ‚ใ€‚ (I wish to be reincarnated seven times in the world, eradicate the enemy (Ashikaga clan), and serve the emperor.) Beibi Yuanxin continued.

"Sin deep ใ„ใ“ใจใ ใŒใ€ใ‚ใ—ใ‚‚ๅŒใ˜ใ˜ใ‚ƒใ€‚ (I wish to do so in spite of my sins.) Nanmu Fangze finally shouted loudly: "?ใ—ใกใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใปใ†ใ“ใ!" โ€

All the Fuso people also shouted, "ใ—ใกใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใปใ†ใ“ใ!" Armed with katanas, they rushed over and fought with the Annam soldiers.

When Hu Hancang had just arrived at the observation point very close to the battlefield, he noticed the Fusang army. This army was in tatters, and it didn't look like the regular army of the Ming Dynasty at all; But the knives in their hands are very sophisticated, and they are not ordinary goods at first glance, even the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. He had been speculating about what kind of army it was.

When he heard their shouts, Hu Hancang was very surprised and said, "Are they speaking Chinese?" Why can't I understand? Where is the dialect? โ€

Hu Hancang was just talking to himself, but one of the people who was patting behind him said: "Your Majesty, what they say is not Chinese, it is Fusang, which means seven lives to serve the country." โ€

"Fuso? Seven lives to serve the country? Hu Hancang turned his head and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" โ€

"Your Majesty, these are the words of a man named Kusunoki Masanari in Fuso Country before he died. Kusunoki Masanari was a well-known loyal minister of Fuso Province decades ago. This person loyally supported Emperor Daigo of Fuso, the king, and when his ministers imitated Dong Zhuo's abolition, he raised troops to King Qin,......, before the final battle, Kusunoki Masanari knew that this battle would be lost, but in order to repay the grace of King Go-Daigo of Fuso, he was determined to fight to the death. In the end, the headquarters was less than 100 men, and was surrounded by rebel regiments. โ€

"According to the Buddhist scriptures, there are nine worlds: Buddha, Bodhisattva, Enlightenment, Shravaka, Heaven, Earth, Shura, Beasts, Hungry Ghosts, and Hell. At this time, Nanmu Zhengcheng asked his younger brother Zhengjidao: 'A person's life is liberated by a thought at the time of death, which realm do you want to be reborn in the Nine Realms (excluding the Buddha Realm)?'"

"'My only wish is to be reincarnated seven times in the human world, to destroy the enemies of the imperial court, and to serve the emperor.'" Zheng Ji laughed and said. โ€

"'That's what you and I think, sinful! In that case, let's change lives together to fulfill our long-cherished wish!' Zhengcheng said with a very happy expression. โ€

The two brothers then stabbed each other to death. Then thirteen members of Nanmu Zhengcheng's family and sixty of his subordinates committed suicide one after another. The rebels were also very moved by Zhengcheng's behavior and sent his body back to his hometown for burial. โ€

After listening to this person's words, Hu Hancang was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said, "Sure enough, he is a loyal minister." If my subordinates can be as loyal as this Nanmu Zhengcheng, why worry that my Annan is not the opponent of the Ming Kingdom? Even if the population of the Ming Kingdom is ten times that of my Annan, how can I be afraid? โ€

"The loyalty of the ministers to His Majesty will never be worse than that of Nanmu Zhengcheng." All the ministers knelt down and said.

"I know your faithfulness, so arise all." Although Hu Hancang didn't believe their words at all, the class still said kindly.

When they all got up, Hu Hancang said a few more words to them and turned his head to look at the battlefield.

At this time, on the battlefield, the Fuso army was engaged in a fierce battle with the soldiers of Annam. After a battle with the Semu people, although these Annan soldiers are elite, but the formation is also a little scattered, I have been in the Ming Dynasty for a few years to learn the method of military formation, I also seized the opportunity to cut into the formation of the Annan people.

At this moment, the war was dragged into a rhythm to which the Fuso people were more adaptable. Because of the small area of Fuso and the social structure similar to that of the West, there are not many troops dispatched by both sides in each war, and it is already a big war to kill thousands of people, and tens of thousands of people will fight unless it is a major event such as a Mongol invasion that can gather all the samurai of the whole country.

Therefore, this kind of battle between thousands of people is the most suitable for the Fuso people, plus the single combat power of martial arts training since childhood is above the elite of Annan, although the number is slightly smaller, it has the upper hand for a while.

Hu Hancang saw a neatly clad Fusang man wielding a big knife in his hand, killing two Annan warriors with one slash, and then brandishing a knife and rushing towards the third person; At this moment, an Annan soldier happened to be behind him, and he raised his spear and was about to plunge it into his back.

But at this moment, another Fuso man shouted, picked up a short knife from the ground, and threw it at the Annam soldier; The Annan soldier dodged the short knife by mistake, but was immediately split in half by the Fuso man who turned around.

At this time, Hu Hancang noticed that the martial arts of these Fusang people were almost exactly the same, all of them were holding three-foot-long broadswords, and the styles were similar, basically they were all chopping, and they often cut off half of the bodies of Annan soldiers at once, and the scene was very bloody. But these Fuso people don't care.

"Who are these Fuso people? If it weren't for the fact that all the elites I picked out, I am afraid that I would not be able to bear such a situation at this time, and the whole army would collapse; But even if it doesn't collapse and destroys all the Fusang people with more people, how many people will be left? โ€

Hu Hancang's heart was dripping blood. These 5,000 Annan soldiers are the elite carefully selected by him and his father Hu Jichen, and they usually eat and wear better than ordinary officials, if these soldiers are all killed in battle, they want to train such a soldier from scratch without five or six years of hard work. But now, here, they are almost three to two with the Fuso people.

"Quick, haven't found out any information about the Fuso people in the collected information?" He turned to another person.

"Your Majesty waits, Your Majesty waits." The man was sweating profusely and flipped through the various paperwork in his hand.

Hu Hancang looked painfully at the thousands of soldiers who were fighting on the battlefield, and at the same time kept turning his head and urging this person; Soon he became impatient, and was about to snatch all the documents and read them for himself, when the man picked up one of them and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, the minister has found it." โ€

Hu Hancang snatched the document from his hand, opened it and read the entire document at a glance and ten lines, and said in a lost voice: "The generals of the Ming Kingdom actually think that more than 2,000 Ming soldiers can beat more than 2,000 Fusang people?" Have these people been kicked in the head by a donkey! "These elites in his hands are not much worse than the elite soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, and they are much stronger than the ordinary soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, if they are not the opponents of these people one by one, they actually think so.

"After surviving this battle, I will also send people to Fuso to recruit samurai." Hu Hancang said again. These Fuso warriors were so capable and loyal, and he was also moved.

But the most important thing now was to defeat them, and he immediately put down his paperwork again and paid attention to the battlefield.

"Although they are very powerful, it is finally time to win, and they can completely annihilate these Fuso people. However, it would be nice to be able to persuade a few. Hu Hancang said this, his face had just eased, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of the sea, and his face suddenly became ugly again.

Hu Hancang is right, although the Fusang warriors fought bravely, but after all, there were few people, even if they could be exchanged in a ratio of two to three at the beginning, but as there were fewer and fewer people, there were more and more Annan soldiers who could besiege and kill one Fusang at the same time, from two or three people to one person at the beginning, to four or five or even six or seven people against one person.

Nanmu Fangze struggled to kill five of the more than ten people who besieged him, and forced the rest to retreat, reuniting with Beibi Yuanxin and the others.

"Lord, we only have less than 500 people left, and there are nearly 3,000 Annan people, and they can't support it anymore, so hurry up and break through and leave." Nanmu Fangze said loudly.

"Breakout? Where to break through? Beibi Yuanxin said.

"To the seaside where the Han people gather! Lord, we've been holding out for so long, and it's time for the rescue ship to return. His Majesty and Motoshin gathered the remnants of the samurai and fought a bloody path for the Lord! Nanmu Fangze said anxiously.
