Text: Fight Annan VII again

After listening to the report, Zheng Jie said without thinking: "Pass my order, and all the departments in front will desperately hold the enemy's strength." Liu An, you immediately gather the people bravely, load all the vehicles on the mud team, and push them to the front of the battle to block the enemy cavalry and guns. Li Gang, you led 3,000 musketeers and 5,000 archers to confront the enemy behind the car. Li Yonggui, you lead 2,500 cavalry to fight fiercely between the enemy and us, and when we are in a fierce battle, we will assault in the middle and take the enemy's banner directly. Li Quartz and Huang Wenjian each led 6,000 steps to Liu An, and Li Gang attacked with a feeding machine. Li Ren, Zheng Bao led the remaining 8,000 people to follow the cushion. ……! ”

"Subordinates receive orders." In the front, the Mocan army general Huang Qiyu 2,000 cavalry charged the artillery array. The artillerymen scurried around like ants in a hot pot, and behind the artillery array, 3,000 pikemen waited for the enemy to ride in. Just as Huang Qi was killing the enemy, a rain of arrows shot out from behind the spear phalanx. Huang Qiyu was defenseless by the cavalry, and a round of people overturned their horses, and more than 70 horsemen fell. Immediately after the six rounds of shooting, a total of more than 300 horsemen were lost, Huang Qi was furious, and shouted with a gun: "Soldiers, gather for me to break the enemy formation in front." As soon as the words fell, a loud voice behind him replied: "General Huang, the enemy formation ahead is greeted by our two heroic army iron cavalry!" Watch me do a good job! After speaking, more than 300 cavalrymen shouted with muskets in hand. Fifty meters away, more than 300 cavalry crossed in front of the enemy formation in two ways, and thirty meters, one by one, they flew into the enemy formation with their hands lit.

"The Ming army has 10,000 enemies, and the 10,000 enemies will disperse quickly!" When the enemy formation saw hundreds of grenades, they suddenly became chaotic, and the archers behind them were exhausted from the first few rounds of continuous fire, and they were unable to shoot any more. And the dense crowd of spears could not dodge, and could only wait for death. The grenade exploded one after another, countless enemies were splintered, and the lead hit fell to the ground and wailed, blood stained the ground red, seeing such an opportunity, Huang Qiyu could miss it. I saw him wielding a spear and taking the lead in killing the enemy. The cavalry behind scrambled to kill the enemy who had no resistance. In the one-sided slaughter, Huang Qi met the second battle of Lianke, annihilated more than 3,000 enemies, and he still had more than 1,000 horsemen. "Soldiers, there is the gate of the enemy camp in front, kill!" When he was excited, a vehicle full of mud bags appeared in front of him to block the way, but the victorious cavalry, driven by Huang Qiyu, urged the horses and prepared to leap over. Thirty meters, countless muskets, bows and arrows were erected behind the mud truck. Under the rounds of shooting, countless cavalry fell, and everyone wanted to dodge when they saw that the situation was not good, but at this time the horses were too fast, and many horses collided together in the turn, causing serious losses. Huang Qiyu, with a few bows and arrows hanging on his body, retreated in embarrassment, and when the two thousand cavalry returned, it was less than seven hundred.

In the rear, more than 10,000 infantry stepped forward to meet the enemy, and the two heroic armies fired at the enemy on both sides. Due to the advanced firearms, there were few casualties among the two heroes. However, in the case of mud carts, the muskets did not cause much damage to the enemy troops. But the Twin Heroes had tactical experience with similar trench warfare. While the front was fiercely fighting, trenches began to resist in the rear, waiting for the artillery to come and make plans. In the middle, the Mo army made three strong feats, killed and wounded more than 1,000 people, and still did not back down. Mo Jingkuan was angry and ordered Zhang Jie to lead 3,000 elites to fall into the camp and die.

The sophisticated armor and weapons worked, more than 600 dead and wounded, the trapped camp rushed through the car formation, and it was about to succeed, who knew that more than 2,000 horsemen of the enemy army suddenly killed, and the cumbersome equipment of the trapped camp became an ornament in front of the cavalry. Within a moment, the trapped camp was defeated, Zhang Jie was killed, and the enemy cavalry rushed towards the Mo army along the gap, rushing all the way to the Shuai Qi. The enemy cavalry fought with the trapped camp and suffered nearly 1,000 casualties. And it can't accelerate to form a huge impact. All of a sudden, the three hundred cavalry in front fell into a vicious battle in the enemy's formation, but fortunately, the reinforcements in the rear continued to break through to maintain their strength. Seeing the situation, the generals of the Mozambican army transferred the main force back to defend the handsome banner. Mo Jingkuan was shocked and angry at this time, and urgently ordered the generals to form a line of defense. The enemy cavalry rushed left and right in the formation, causing heavy casualties to the Mo army, but the speed of the cavalry breaking into the crowd was restricted, and the combat power of the cavalry was greatly reduced when it lost speed. Quite a few cavalrymen were killed by the dense infantry. Li Yonggui led five hundred elite horsemen to tear apart the human walls. The rest of the cavalry behind him had been divided layer by layer. Li Yonggui stabbed several Mo soldiers who were blocking the road with a spear and raised his gun and shouted: "Soldiers, the enemy commander's flag is close at hand!" The opportunity to worship the prime minister has arrived, kill! ”

The cavalrymen had been killed until their eyes were red, and they all looked at death as if they were at home, and heard that the great achievement was done. They all burst out, shouting and rushing up. At this time, the archers of the Mo army ignored the melee between the enemy and me, and a round of arrows rained down, and countless people from their own side fell to the ground with several arrows, while the cavalry of the Li army were all in two layers of armor and all of them were elite, and several rounds of war rain fell, and everyone was hit by several arrows. But except for a dozen short-lived ghosts who fell, the rest were alive and well. However, most of the horses were wounded by arrows. Li Yonggui took the lead in giving up the horse at this time, only to see him jump off the frightened war horse, and easily took off the sword hanging under the saddle and went straight into the enemy group, and all the horsemen behind him also dismounted one by one to fight, and suddenly, the dense crowd was killed out of a clearing and continued to kill Mo Jingkuanqi. Behind him, Li Quartz led 6,000 troops to rush out of the car formation, and when Qianjun was in the middle, Ma Lie led more than 300 cavalry and the remaining 700 cavalry of the Mo army came to block it. A round of grenades was thrown, and more than 500 people fell to the enemy's front troops, followed by another volley, and a large area was empty in front of the enemy troops. The 700 cavalry of the Mo army took advantage of the melee to break into the flank, and suddenly the Li army was caught off guard, allowing the cavalry to penetrate the entire phalanx. After three round-trips, the 6,000 troops of the Li army lost 3,000 at once and were scattered.

Li Quartz took advantage of the cavalry to go away, hastily gathered more than 2,000 people to prepare for another success. But the 2,000-strong troops of the Shuangxiong Army had arrived. Fifty meters away, under the rounds of gun fire, the Li army was overwhelmed. The two heroes shot and approached in an orderly manner. Enemy soldiers fell in rows like wheat being cut. Thirty meters away, grenades fell into the enemy's position, and the enemy's right horse and 300 horsemen again approached to drop bombs and fire. After rounds of bullets and cannons, Li Quartz finally retreated with 500 remnants. The two armies held on to their victory, leaving behind 1,000 soldiers and cavalry to build a defensive line. Li Xiang led the remaining 1,000 to relieve the siege.

Mo Jingkuan's nearly 10,000 soldiers and people were killed by Li Yonggui at this time, and they were scattered in all directions, while Mo Jingkuan was surrounded by less than 1,000 people and fought with less than 300 enemy soldiers. The drive of the three hundred tigers and wolves broke into the enemy group again, Li Yonggui took the lead and stepped forward, and put down the handsome banner surrounded by the five members of the Mo army. "The handsome flag is down! Hurry up and protect the emperor! The scene was chaotic, many people abandoned the commander and fled, Li Yonggui was only a fat man in a yellow robe and fled under the protection of dozens of soldiers wearing fine armor, that was not Mo Jingkuan. Such an opportunity could not be lost, Li Yonggui quickly took out his bow and arrow and shot at the fat man. The arrow was so powerful that it shot through a soldier's arm and into Mo Jingkuan's left shoulder. Mo Jingkuan usually pampered and pampered that he could endure such pain. So he fainted all of a sudden, and the dozens of soldiers fainted to death when they saw the commander. The hands stepped forward one by one, ready to fight to the death. At this time, Li Xiang led reinforcements to arrive. After a few rounds of shooting, there were less than ten people who could stand, Li Yonggui was shot five times at this time, and blood kept coming out, and he stuck the heavy knife on the ground to stabilize it in order to protect his body. And slowly looked back at Li Xiang and said, "I didn't expect that I, Li Yonggui, would die in you, an unknown person!" After saying that, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood in vain and slowly fell to the ground. The rest of the people saw that the general situation had been decided, and they threw down their weapons and begged to surrender. And Li Xiang saw that those people were outstanding in martial arts, so he ordered his subordinates to take them away in front of the Mo army.

Ahead, the Li army did not retreat, Wang Wenjian and Li Quartz led their troops again, but the tiger squatting artillery of the Shuangxiong army had arrived. 7,000 enemy troops fell 5,000 corpses under the blow of bullets and fled back in confusion, while the cavalry took advantage of the enemy's escape and hurriedly attacked, almost annihilating the two armies of King Li, fortunately there was a mud cart defense line behind the enemy.

In the evening, the two sides held their own defensive lines to form a counterpoint. Chen Feng and the others arranged for people to clean up the battlefield. Then he took Shi Ping's henchmen to visit Mo Jingkuan. And Mo Jingkuan had woken up when the military doctor was treating the wound, and he was lying on the bed and moaning in a low voice. And due to excessive blood loss, the whole body is weak, the face is pale, and the lips are dry. In the tent, two columns of civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the tent bowed their heads and remained silent, and the imperial physician and the confidant eunuch sat in front of the bed to take care of them. After a while, a herald eunuch entered the tent, whispered a few words in the ear of the henchman eunuch, and went out. The henchman eunuch whispered in Mo Jingkuan's ear: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Chen Feng and his party from the Ming Army outside the tent ask to see you." Please let the emperor decide. ”

Mo Jingkuan held back the pain and said weakly: "Quick, quickly help me go to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters." After speaking, he coughed violently a few times and vomited a pool of black blood. Seeing this, the officials hurriedly knelt down and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the emperor's dragon body is important, please don't work hard!" Mo Jingkuan lay on the bed, and two lines of hot tears flowed out. After a while, Mo Jingkuan weakly grabbed the hand of the henchman eunuch and said: "Ruan Daban, I am afraid that I am injured this time, I am afraid that I am more than lucky, I am in my early fifties, I only know how to be pampered, my body is weak, I am afraid that there is not much time to live, I have a lot of things to explain, you quickly gather the generals of the civil and military forces and the Ming army, and I have a good mind to decide." ”

"Your Majesty! ......" The people fell to their knees and wept silently. Mo Jingkuan said powerlessly again: "You still don't do what I want!" ”

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Mo Jingkuan sat on the throne, the eunuchs and palace maids stood twice, and the civil and military officials on the left and right sides of the seat stood. Chen Feng and his entourage followed the eunuch in. After seeing Mo Jingkuan, everyone bowed and said: "King Mo was unfortunately injured today, I and other Ming officials came to condole, and I wish King Mo a speedy recovery." ”

Mo Jingkuan said with no difficulty: "It's rare that the two Chen brothers are kind, come here, please sit next to me." After speaking, the subordinates gave Chen Feng and the others seats and sat down. After sitting firmly, Mo Jingkuan said weakly: "Two, I don't know how the war is going today?" ”

Chen Feng replied: "King Mo, more than 20,000 enemies were annihilated in today's battle, and now according to the intelligence, the enemy's elite army is less than 3,000, and the number of soldiers who can fight is only 8,000, and the big thing can be achieved in two days at most." King Mo doesn't have to worry about it, take care of his body. ”

"Two, the enemy has suffered heavy casualties, and I'm afraid our army is too busy with injuries!"

"King Mo, our army is fighting in a coalition army, and the losses are not yet clear! Please also ask King Mo not to guess. ”

"Hey! I don't want to say more, now I want to discuss matters with your subordinates, and I have received your intentions, so please go back and arrange things so that we can fight again tomorrow! ”

"In that case, it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. Take care! ”

"Take care!"

Seeing off Chen Feng and his entourage, Mo Jingkuan said to the following martial arts in the hall: "Zhu Aiqing, who will talk about today's war." There was silence in the hall, and no one answered.

Mo Jingkuan looked at the officials for a while and said, "Originally, there were eighteen military generals and twenty-two civil officials who came with me. In today's palace, there are only six military generals, and only twelve civil officials, and I also know the fierceness of the battle. You don't have to hide it today, I can bear anything I can," after being quiet for a while, a military general stood up and saluted: "Minister, Liu waved and played." The emperor lost more than 13,000 people in this battle. Today, there are less than 2,000 elites who can fight, and there are still more than 3,000 left in our army such as Minfu. The ministers are not in good command and are willing to be punished. ”

"The ministers are guilty, please ask the emperor to surrender." All the ministers in the hall knelt down.

"Zhu Aiqing, what is the crime, you and your ancestors have been helping my Mo family for hundreds of years. No matter how much bloodshed, prosperity and ruin, we will never give up, but now it is different from the past, and the land population under my rule is less than 200,000. There are no two out of ten young men. And there are Qiangming in the north, Burmese in the west, and Li people in the south, and the indigenous people in all parts of the country will inevitably rise up and slaughter our Han people when they see that the general trend of our country has gone. I have many children, but none of them can take on the responsibility. How can it be good to have such internal and external troubles?! ”

"Your Majesty, the ancients are cloudy, and the green mountains are left, even if there is no firewood. If you want to be as powerful as the Yuan Dynasty, you can't take us, although the Ming Dynasty is strong, but since Yongle, its hundreds of thousands of troops can't help us. ”

"That being said, at that time, Annan was united in the enemy, and now it is falling apart and dividing its own forces. An army of less than 10,000 men"

The two strong forces of Annan have fallen to the West Mountain, and now even if the Ming army shows mercy, my Mo Dynasty will not be able to support it alone. There are only two feasible ways today, one is to call Li a minister, and the other is to Ming to be a minister. In this way, I can settle down and recuperate, I am still in a breath today, and discuss the plan with Zhu Aiqing, not for glory and wealth, but for me to leave a chance for the Han people of the Mo Dynasty to survive! Zhu Aiqing, I am equal to you today, what do you say, but it doesn't hurt to say it.

After being quiet for a while, a civil official stood up and knelt down and said: "Long live my emperor, the emperor is a holy parable, every word is for the people, and every sentence is profound." Chen Zhongjun was speechless, the emperor's righteousness will be blessed by God, long live my emperor, long live, long live! After saying that, Zhong Jun kowtowed fairly, and two lines of tears came out of his eyes, and the rest of the military officials were also moved by Mo Jing's leniency and righteousness, and they knelt down and sang in unison. Mo Jingkuan struggled to wipe away two lines of old tears and said: "Zhu Aiqing, I have made things difficult for you in the Ordinary Sun Domain, and I have not allowed you to enjoy the peaceful and prosperous world, I am ashamed of the people and you!" After speaking, Mo Jingkuan couldn't cry. Everyone in the audience fell to their knees, and only one cry was heard. Eunuch Ruan Wencheng wiped away two lines of tears, and then helped carefully, Mo admired and wiped them. And Mo Jingkuan was overly excited, and coughed up a small mouthful of blood. Everyone was busy calling the emperor.

Mo Jingkuan calmed down his expression a little, and said with difficulty: "Zhu Aiqing, today our monarchs and ministers are deeply affectionate, but today is for the future of the people of the world, please discuss it quickly." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister Zhong Jun is in the discussion."

"Aiqing, please speak."

"Emperor Xie, Your Majesty, in the current situation, our country is indeed powerless to oppose either side. And the Li Dynasty, although it has the strength today, but in the face of internal and external troubles in the future, it will inevitably fall apart from the past, and it is not a wise move to be attached to Li. Now the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and it is not good to call the ministers in the Ming, the minister thinks, the two heroes of the Chen Feng brothers, different from the Ming army, what these two people have done, he is not a thing in the Ming Pond, and now the two are in the development of the country, if our country takes refuge, he will be in the future. ”

After listening to this, everyone nodded in support, Mo Jingkuan thought for a while and asked, what Zhong Aiqing said is really reasonable, can you tell me how to vote for the law?!

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although our country no longer has any strength, it is still there. If the two of them want to sit down, Annan will definitely be of great use to our country. We should negotiate on this condition. But who to take refuge in now, the name of the country will be lost, and it is okay to have a king of Annam, and the rest of the military power, opening the government and building a government will be greatly restricted. The Twin Heroes had a Pacific Company, similar to the Dutch East India Company, which was later allowed to obtain land restoration permits overseas by taking shares. ”

"Okay, Zhong Aiqing will act according to your plan, I can't discuss it anymore today, tonight you discuss with the Ming army overnight, as long as I and the Han people continue to live in this land, what if we don't become emperors. Disperse, everybody! ”

"Take care, Your Majesty!"
