Chapter 375: A Wash of Miasma and Smoke (Part II)
As Chen Guojun guessed, the Ming army did not attack Langshan in the past few days, it was indeed the Dali army and the rest of the Ming army to watch out for each other, of course, the contradiction between the two sides was far from being fierce, and it was mainly because of the heavy rain in the past few days, which made the road from Guangnan West Road to this side muddy, and the transfer of large offensive equipment such as flying thunder cannons and catapults was relatively slow.

After all, Li Fu and Ma Yan did not expect that Chen Guojun would be so resolute, retreating all the way from the border to Langshan, and the few small passes and towns in the middle were simply abandoned. Moreover, for the roads in Annam, it is obvious that the two generals also overestimated, and the roads after the wind and rain can basically only meet the needs of transporting grain and grass every day, and all kinds of large-scale equipment are really difficult on the road.
Of course, if that's the way to go.
"The monkey of Annan is calm." Standing in front of the tent, Yang Ting, who had just returned from Nanjing, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, his face was full of expectation and helplessness. As an out-and-out embryo killer, he hurried back from Nanjing, just to be able to compete with the Annan monkeys on this battlefield, but who would have thought that the Annan monkeys would not fight if they defended Langshan Pass.
And all kinds of large equipment did not come, so that Li Fu they did not dare to attack easily, after all, the soldiers who were damaged are good sons of the Ming Dynasty, for the Ming Dynasty that implements the elite policy, this is definitely more than worth the loss. This also caused Yang Ting to come for a day or two, and his daily task was to stand at the door of the tent in a daze.
"General Yang, I'm glad to meet you." Footsteps sounded, and Ma Yan and Lou Yong came together.
Yang Ting still has a good impression of these two colleagues who have fought side by side in Dali, after all, Ma Ji's calmness and Lou Yong's combat courage are a common experience. At that moment, Yang Ting straightened his waist and arched his hand at the two of them: "Ma Anfu, Lou Xuanzhi, what kind of wind blew the two of you here." β
Ma Yan rolled his eyes: "Okay, if there is no wind, the two of us will not be able to ascend the Three Treasures Hall of the Xuanwu Army?" β
Yang Ting smiled and dodged the way: "Since the two generals are here, there must be something important to discuss, let's not delay, please." β
Lou Yong patted Yang Ting on the shoulder: "Are you kid almost unable to hold back, always thinking about fighting with that Annan monkey?" β
Yang Ting walked towards the tent and glanced at Lou Yong: "Each other." β
Both Lou Yong and Ma Yan erupted in the heartiest laughter among the soldiers.
In the camp tent, Li Fu, the commander of the Xuanwu Army, was standing in front of the map and looked carefully, heard the laughter behind him, hurriedly turned around, and said with a smile: "The two generals are not harmed." β
"That is, I haven't seen you for a day or two, why bother to look like I haven't seen you for a day, like every three autumns," Ma Yan smiled and arched his hand, but his voice sank slightly, "Shuzhang, let's make a long story short, this time I came here, not to Langshan Annan monkeys, but to discuss other important matters." β
Li Fu nodded and said without hesitation: "I'm afraid it's a matter of Dali Jun and Gao Cheng." β
Ma Yan said in a deep voice: "Since the outbreak of the war between Annan and Daming, we have ordered Dali Elevation to attack Annan from the flank, but who would have thought that Elevation dragged along the way, and it was slower than my two armies to turn back and forth, to say that it was only because of the heavy rain and muddy roads, who can believe it." β
With a chuckle, Li Fu closed his eyes, and his voice was very flat: "I don't know what the old general thinks it should be, after all, this elevation is a person from the Gao family in Dali, and Daming wants to serve the public in Dali, and there is no way to easily do it for this elevationΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"Unless we can find solid evidence of the elevation, this delayed march is one of them." As a veteran, Ma Yan has always been calm, but today's words are already full of murderous intent, "This elevation can't be kept." I'm afraid that His Royal Highness King Ming himself also means this. β
"Can you stay in the elevation, His Royal Highness King Ming knows better than you and me," Li Fu opened his eyes, "I don't know if General Ma still remembers His Royal Highness King Ming's arrangements for Annan's side after the Ming Dynasty conquered Dali?" When the troops were dispatched, no army was left behind, and even the Dali army with elevation was emphasized. β
Ma Yan was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Shuzhang, what do you meanΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· His Royal Highness King Ming is already preparing to attack Elevation on the battlefield of this pair of Annan? Or is it that His Royal Highness King Ming has expected that Gao Cheng will hesitate in the battle against Annan and give us the handle? β
Glancing at the map behind him, Li Fu said lightly: "His Royal Highness the Hades King just wants to borrow a knife to kill people, but what he wants to borrow is not the knife of Annan Chen Guojun, after all, letting the enemy kill his own general is not good for morale." β
"You and me?" Ma Yan's face changed slightly, "But with you and me, even if we can control Elevation, how can we control the Dali Army under Elevation." β
"In the end, Gao Cheng is still the commander of the four compartments of the Dali army, and he is the person in power supported by the Ming Dynasty in Dali, how can His Royal Highness the King of Ming rest assured that you and I will act rashly? And just by virtue of a march delay, there is no way to put elevation to death. Li Fu patted his sleeve, "After all, Daming's top priority is to pacify Annan, not to clean up the elevation." β
Ma Yan was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "This elevation is not left for you and me to clean up, otherwise His Royal Highness King Ming would not have sent Zhang Shangshu of the military department over." β
Zhang Shijie, as the secretary of the Ming Military Department, was originally recognized as the second-in-command of the military, and at the same time he was the brother-in-law of His Royal Highness the King of Ming.
"What's more," Li Fu lowered his voice and said thoughtfully, "When the Shenwei Army and the Yizhou Water Division participate in the war, the entire Annan battlefield is not just a matter of the Xuanwu Army and the Yongzhou Army, General Zhang of the Yizhou Water Division is the old minister of His Royal Highness the King of Ming, and the four compartments of the Shenwei Army have been serving in front of the saddle and the horse since the beginning of the Ming King, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is arrogant, so His Royal Highness the King of Ming ordered Zhang Shangshu to come to coordinate the overall situation, I am afraid that this is also taken into account, and there is no harm to you and me." β
Understanding this, Ma Yan slowly spoke: "His Royal Highness King Ming is thoughtful, above you and me, in this case, the Xuanwu Army and the Yongzhou Army only need to compete with the Annan monkeys." β
Stretching out his hand and tapping lightly on the map, Li Fu said in a deep voice: "The sailor is probably close to the coast now, and our flying thunder cannons and trebuchets and other equipment are estimated to be able to arrive one after another this afternoon, and the brothers have also repaired for a long time in front of this Langshan, and it is time to compete with the monkeys of Annan." β
"Langshan is the north gate of Annan, if Langshan is broken, the Shenglong Mansion will not be guaranteed, Chen Guojun also has three points of ability, and will inevitably rely on the camp on the mountain and Langshan Pass to defend this vital point, and even the difficulty of our breakthrough Langshan must be above the previous attack on Dali Longshou Pass," Ma Yan frowned slightly, "This battle, Shuzhang, how are you going to fight, if you simply pull up the flying thunder cannon and trebuchet, I am afraid that it is not so easy to break through Langshan in a day or two." β
Li Fu smiled lightly: "The stakes of trebuchets and flying thunder cannons, you and I understand, so how can Chen Guojun not understand." β
As a veteran, Ma Yan suddenly understood what Li Fu meant, Huo Ran looked at him: "Uncle Zhang, how sure are you?" β
After being silent for a long time, Li Fu said in a deep voice: "At most, sixty percent." However, if Chen Guojun doesn't act, then we won't have much loss, but we may have to delay time again, I don't know how General Ma Lao calculated in his heart. β
Haha smiled, Ma Yan looked at Li Fu: "Originally, we already planned to give this credit to the water master, why care about this day or two, how to know if you don't try!" β
And Yang Ting and Lou Yong, who were standing behind the two of them, also subconsciously glanced at each other and clenched their fists.
Holding the Tianhe with both hands, we want to wash away the smoke and miasma, let's say what we want to let the Annan monkeys see and understand, and if you have the courage to provoke Daming, you must have the ability to withstand the anger of Daming!
ββββββββββββββββββ
The sky was getting dark, and Thang Long City, which was the capital of Annam, only the Imperial City was still sporadic near the Imperial City at this time, and the rest of the entire capital seemed to have melted into the darkness.
Although the Ming Dynasty in the north of Langshan was heavily pressed, the lives of the people of Annam were not greatly affected, after all, Annam was not beaten to Langshan once or twice, but no one has ever crossed the Langshan natural danger over the years.
What's more, the entire army of Annam and Chen Guojun, known as the god of war, are stationed in Langshan, for this general who even the Mongol Tatars have defeated, Annam is one hundred and twenty people from the royal family to the people, after all, there is no one in the whole country who can match Chen Guojun.
Standing not far from the city of Annan, Zhang Shijie was expressionless, staring at the dimly lit Thang Long City in front of him. And Yang Bao walked over quickly: "Shangshu, the Annan tongue we caught has been explained, there are less than 5,000 Annan defenders in this city, and most of them are royal forbidden troops. β
"The Imperial Forbidden Army?" Zhang Shijie frowned, and then said lightly, "After tonight, there will be no so-called royal family in this Annan." Tell the armies that there is nothing to hide now, and the battle to pacify Annam will be tonight. In addition, tell the sailor that you can do it. β
Yang Bao nodded solemnly and left quickly.
And a personal guard stood behind Zhang Shijie, standing on tiptoe with some curiosity and looking into the distance: "Xianggong, why does this Shenglong Mansion not look as good as our small state capital?" Annan is also a small country, why is it so poor and weak? β
Zhang Shijie chuckled: "It's not that Annan is poor and weak, but that I'm prosperous and prosperous." This Shenglong Mansion is within a radius of hundreds of miles, and it is also a first-class big city, even if the southern Zhancheng is economically and economically prosperous and prosperous, and has a lot of contacts with my Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it is only like this at night. β
"It's ridiculous that such a small country has the courage to challenge my Daming." The guard couldn't help but pout, "It's a shame that we've been tossing and turning all the way for so long, and even the bitter gall is about to come out of the ship." β
Glaring at him, Zhang Shijie said lightly: "Don't underestimate the enemy, this Annan can become a confidant of the former Song Dynasty in three hundred years, and he must have some ability, not to mention that Thang Long Mansion is the capital of Annan, even if their main force gathers in Langshan, they will leave enough elites to defend the capital, just in case." β
"Xianggong, don't worry, when the brothers enter the Shenglong Mansion, they have to catch the emperor of the Annan Kingdom to show you, what kind of big monkey is it, he has the courage to sit on such a throne, and he doesn't take Daming in his eyes!" Several guards laughed in low voices, and they were more of a sarcasm and ridicule for the Annan in front of them.
Yoro is arrogant, but that's it.
And at this moment, not far from the Red River, a dazzling light rose into the sky, fireworks bloomed in the air, and the drums followed closely behind, thumping.
In the flickering light of the fireworks, one after another black and swarthy figures can be seen breaking through the calm water, flags fluttering proudly on the bow, and even flying thunder cannons can be seen swinging at the bow of the ship. These firearms, which had been carefully wrapped and protected by the soldiers in a storm for several days, finally came to be used.
Up and down the hillside, among the rice fields, one by one eyes subconsciously cast their eyes on the place where the fireworks rise.
"Brothers, rush!" Yang Bao and Bian Juyi drew their sabers at the same time and pointed straight ahead!
The next moment, half of the city of Thang Long Mansion was already shrouded in the sky-rushing fire, and when the soldiers of Annan rushed up the city wall in panic, what they saw was a black wave sweeping from the sky, about to slap on the thin wall of Thang Long Mansion!
Red flags fluttered in the wind, as if they were rendered in the color of blood and fire in the flames of light, and countless Ming soldiers went forward one after another, and the dense arrows had fallen into the city one step ahead, like a storm with fierce killing intent.
ββββββββββββββββββ-
"For Da Yue, kill Ming Dog!" Chen Guojun shouted loudly, taking the lead.
Countless Annan soldiers rushed to the Ming army camp from his side with shouts.
Since standing on the mountain and seeing the huge equipment that appeared one after another in the Ming army camp, Chen Guojun knew that if he sat motionless from Langshan again, I am afraid that he would really have to face the attack of the Ming army firearms tomorrow, after all, the prestige of the Ming army's firearms has spread all over the world, especially when Xiangyang became famous in the first battle and attacked Dali, with the cooperation of firearms, he broke through the layers of Dali's defenses within a few days, and took the huge Dali into his pocket.
What's more, his own bitterness understands that Chen Guojun knows very well that for the poor and weak Annan, there is a lack of all kinds of truly effective garrison equipment, including the Ming army's standard bed crossbow and trebuchet, and there is no figure to be found at Langshan Pass, so that the Annan soldiers use their flesh and blood to block the indestructible firearms of the Ming army, Chen Guojun asked himself if he did not have the courage and did not have this ruthless heart.
The last time he chose to raid the Ming army in the continuous rainstorm, Chen Guojun wanted to try to consume its vitality and morale before the Ming army could find suitable weather conditions to use firearms, so that Annan would at least have more room for maneuver, and this time Chen Guojun originally thought that the reason why the Ming army stopped moving forward was because of internal contradictions, and when it was near evening, looking at the arrival of those large equipment, he finally understood that the Ming army did not want to attack, but did not plan to fill it with human lives.
Once firearms and trebuchets take turns to play, whether Lang Son Pass can be held at that time is a matter of saying,
Therefore, Chen Guojun has no choice, if he wants not to face more pressure tomorrow, he must take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Ming army tonight, break through his camp, and destroy these siege equipment that pose a deadly threat to Lang Son!
I have to say that the army is not defenseless, the Jingjiang Army, the Xuanwu Army and the Yongzhou Army are lined up in an arc facing Langshan Pass, protecting the camp where the equipment and grain and grass are placed in the middle, and at the same time, there are Dali Army and Qinzhou Army on the flanks to protect one left and one right, it is not so easy to break through this layer of defense.
However, Chen Guojun is also a rare famous general, and naturally he can see the flaws, compared to the Xuanwu Army, the Jingjiang Army and the Yongzhou Army are naturally slightly weaker, and the Jingjiang Army, which has not experienced the tempering of the war, is the weakest one among the three armies, but the Jingjiang Army is followed by the Dali Army, as long as it can break through the weakest two rings in a row, it is not difficult to enter the middle camp.
Torches were lit and thrown into the camp, and countless Annan soldiers broke through the thin gate and rushed towards the depths of the camp.
Chen Guojun cut off the head of a panicked Ming soldier with one hand, kicked the still warm head in his hand, and said loudly: "Da Yue's good son, kill, attack inward!" β
The Jingjiang military camp, which was originally silent in the dark, was completely illuminated in the next moment, but several Annan generals strode over in shock: "General, the big thing is not good, except for these few camp tents with Ming dogs, most of the rest of the camp tents are empty!" β
"What?!" In the flickering firelight, Chen Guojun's face was pale.
In the next moment, the entire Jingjiang military camp was already shrouded in raging fire, and one after another explosives bags fell from the sky, rolling up the blazing wind and waves, causing countless Annan soldiers to fall to the ground. Chen Guojun clenched his fists and shouted loudly:
"We have been tricked, there is a dead end in the back, follow me forward to fight a way, maybe there is a glimmer of life, brothers, for the sake of Da Yue, fight with these Ming dogs!" (To be continued.) )
