Chapter 1156: The Messenger of Champa
Nguyen Jong Hoa was still a good commander, at least a rare commander for Annan, but he met Li Kun with artillery to help.
Giving the order to let everyone melee with the Ming people was a way to avoid the shelling, but this order did not make the Annam people free of their fear of artillery at once.
Hearing Nguyen Jong Hoa's order, all the Annan people rushed forward, and they also pressed the restoration army backwards.
But it also made the Annanite team extremely dense, and every cannonball that fell into the Annanite team would cause several times the damage.
From time to time, there would be bloody alleys in the dense crowd, and the frightened Annam people were desperately crowding forward, and the veterans of Nguyen Jong Hoa at the front were even pushed by the soldiers behind them to crash into the swords of the restoration army, although it seemed that the enemy was being suppressed and retreated, but this was done at the cost of a large number of casualties.
Nguyen Jong Hoa didn't care about any casualties anymore, he just wanted to defeat the Ming people before his men collapsed. He knew that the reason why his men suppressed Akito was because of the fear of artillery.
Once this fear reaches a certain level, then a complete rout ensues.
Li Zhen kept waving the sword in his hand, and he couldn't remember how many Annan people he had killed. The enemy in front of him seemed to be endless, and if it weren't for the iron armor, he would have fallen to the ground.
Another enemy was stabbed to death, or rather, the enemy was pushed by his companion behind him and loaded with his own sword.
Before he could draw his sword, a heavy iron rod smashed into his chest.
Although the iron armor blocked most of the impact for him, the damage caused by a heavy weapon such as the iron rod was still unavoidable.
Li Zhen was knocked down and flew out by a strong blow, and her body fell heavily to the ground.
When the Annan man who had wounded Li Zhen was about to keep up and continue the attack, he was stopped by the other Restoration Army.
Pushing away Wu Yunzai, who wanted to pull himself down to heal his injuries, Li Zhen yelled loudly: "Get out!" Get back to your position and keep killing! ”
Wu Yun was stunned, took out the last grenade from his arms, lit it and threw it at the Annan people who were constantly surging forward.
"Boom!" The explosion of a lifetime sounded from the feet of the Annanes, and the dense crowd made the power of this grenade incomparably great.
Three or four people flew up, and more than a dozen of the Annanites who were standing there fell in a stagger.
The grenade was like a signal, and the Restoration Army, which still had a grenade, immediately threw the grenade at the Annamite.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Constant explosions rang out from the ranks of the Annamite, and these grenades were like the last straw that crushed the camel of the Annamite people.
Many people were stunned by the bombing and stood stupidly in place, not knowing what to do, and many more turned around and began to flee despite the dense crowd behind them.
There are also people who raise their swords whenever someone stands behind them, regardless of who is standing behind them.
The rout began to spread from the front of the Annam formation, and in the end, even Nguyen Jong Hoa's Chinese army was not spared.
Looking at the routs that kept running by, Ruan Zhonghua knew that everything was over.
In this situation, even if the defeated army is killed, it cannot prevent the rout, and the only way to do this is to bring the defeated army back to Confucianism as much as possible.
As soon as he turned to flee, a cannonball landed where Nguyen Jong Hoa was standing.
When Ruan Zhonghua was torn apart by the cannonball, it was not as painful as he imagined, but he fell into darkness in an instant.
The rout of the whole army and the death of the commander made the Annan people collapse for thousands of miles, and the restoration army under the leadership of Li Kun then covered up all the way.
The corpses of the Annamite people were spread from the battlefield to the foot of the Confucian Pass, and this important hub of the Annamite people was easily breached by Li Kun, but the attack of the Restoration Army did not penetrate deep into the interior of Annam, and it stopped here.
In the first battle between the Truong Hung army and the Annamite people, the 70,000-strong army led by Nguyen Truong Hoa was defeated, and after the war, the Annam people gathered only half of their soldiers.
Less than 20,000 Annam people were captured and killed by the Changxing army, and the rest of the men and horses fled into the mountains and forests without a trace.
When Annan Nguyen heard the bad news of the loss of the Confucian Pass, he almost messed up, and after the Confucian Pass, Annan would have no danger to defend.
Fortunately, the Ming people only occupied the Confucian Pass and stopped, otherwise they would be killed by the Ming people into the hinterland, and the Ruan clan would have to stop the attack on the Zheng clan and transfer all the horses back to deal with the Ming people.
The Nguyen Thi again sent an envoy to the city of Sinju and reached a temporary peace with the Chang Hung army.
The Nguyen clan, who could not afford to come up with a huge amount of money, was willing to cede the city of Xinzhou and the three nearby county towns to the Chang Hung army as compensation.
However, the Chang Hung army wanted to give up the Confucian Pass and allow the Nguyen clan to buy the firearms of the Chang Hung army.
Nguyen could offset the money for the purchase of firearms with food, timber, and population, and asked the Truong Hung army to promise not to plunder Annam again.
The agreement between the two sides was signed very smoothly, and Annam Nguyen was not as wealthy as the Zheng family, but only ordered a thousand arquebuses.
But they have a soft spot for grenades, and they procured 5,000 with a wave of their hand.
Zheng Zhilong was very happy with Ruan's purchase of ordnance, and set up a banquet on the spot to talk to the envoys.
It wasn't until the Ruan envoy was gone away that the smile on Zheng Zhilong's face gradually subsided.
The armament of the Changxing Army is like a blood-sucking leech, which will lie on the body of the Annan people and continue to suck blood until they are weak and unable to move, which is the moment when the Changxing Army harvests.
Whether it is the Zheng clan of Annam, or the Nguyen clan. As long as you buy an ordnance, you will buy a large number of weapons when you discover the advantages of firearms.
If you don't buy it, just wait to be crushed by the other party!
In order to achieve victory, it is necessary to purchase a large amount of ordnance from the Changxing army, so that both sides will hollow out the last copper plate to buy ordnance.
When the two sides fought until the oil ran out and the lamp ran out, it was the moment when the Changxing Army appeared on the stage.
In addition, the people of Annam have firearms, can other countries around them still sit? Will the countries that are neighboring to these countries sit still?
This will be a plague-like arms race, and there will be only one beneficiary of it, and that is the Changxing Army.
It's time for the ordnance workshop on Taiyuan Island to expand, and it will be another important source of revenue for the Changxing Army.
After sending off the Nguyen envoys, the Chang Hung army began to build the newly acquired territory, first of all, to expand the port of the city of Tran Chau.
As a transit place for all the goods of the Changxing Army, a huge port must be built.
At least it has to be a port where the giant ships of the Changxing Army can dock, and secondly, a recruit training camp must be built here.
It is certainly unrealistic to transport soldiers from Liaodong to Annam for a long time, and it is the best choice to select reliable Annamite people to train as soldiers.
Using the locals to eliminate the local resistance is the key to the Changxing Army's ability to occupy more and more overseas territories, and Annam is no exception.
While Xinzhou City was busy under construction, Zheng Zhilong met with an envoy again.
"The envoy of Champa has seen the general of the Heavenly Empire!"
