Chapter 284: King Yue was slapped in the face
readx;
The first 200 cavalry had already rushed into the camp of the Vietnamese army like a wolf and a tiger. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 When the Vietnamese army set up a large camp, although they set up earthen ramparts and wooden fences cut down from trees, they were of little use, especially the wooden fence that fell down at the touch of a button, which was rushed away by the mounts in an instant, and then, two hundred cavalry attacked from all sides, running back and forth in this large camp, and wailing everywhere they passed.
In fact, from the very beginning, the Vietnamese army never thought that someone would attack the camp, after all, this is the border, and the Vietnamese army is only here to practice martial arts.
But when the Ming army suddenly appeared, these unprepared Vietnamese troops were in chaos in an instant, it was not that they did not have courage, but it happened suddenly, the soldiers could not find the soldiers, the soldiers could not find the generals, and under the scattered sand, where could they organize resistance?
Coupled with the shouts of killing from all sides of the Ming army, at first glance, I thought that there were 100,000 troops surrounding and rushing to kill, and the Vietnamese army was in turmoil. First, a group of Ming cavalry rushed in, followed by waves of foot soldiers, the bonfire was kicked apart, the tent was lit, and the Vietnamese soldiers rushed away.
If they refused to defend the pass instead of camping on this plain, even if they camped on their backs, it is estimated that they would not have been defeated so completely, but the Yue people really did not expect to encounter the Ming army here.
Even if the military households of the Ming army are wasted, at this time, under the encouragement of heavy rewards, they saw the Yue people scurrying, and everyone became a tiger for a while, driving and killing all the way, and the fire, blood, high shouting and killing and terrible roaring and killing in the camp were intertwined...... The sky was burned red by the firelight, and the Vietnamese soldiers abandoned their armor and began to flee, and at this moment, rumbling drums suddenly came from all directions.
Heckling...... This was the order to pursue, and the morale of the Ming army was boosted and they launched a frenzied pursuit.
A head is ten taels of silver, and these Yue people have already become sheep under the butcher's knife now, if you don't earn this silver at this time, when will you earn it?
The eyes of the soldiers were red, and they chased and killed all the way with butcher knives in their hands, and some even chased for more than 20 miles, and when they came back to their senses, they carried a string of human heads in their hands, only to find that they had lost their way.
The dawn of the early morning sprinkled down, one after another the Ming army began to return to the camp, a night of fighting has made them physically and mentally exhausted, and Wang Tao with a few scribes is also boiled red eyes, counting the exploits is not an easy job, the harvest of this battle is too great, in Wang Tao's estimation, the beheading of Yue people at least more than seven thousand, this does not include the disabled, this number is really a bit appalling, just entered the country of Annan, I didn't expect the Ming army to usher in such a big victory, and this big victory is inevitably too easy, It still feels like a dream for Wang Tao.
The Vietnamese army was beheaded from Li Zheng down, and after the bloodshed, the Ming army occupied the dove's nest and stayed in the camp of the Vietnamese army.
It wasn't until noon that Wang Tao's inventory was completed, and he hurriedly took the roster and went to the big tent to see Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengfeng was already asleep, but Li Dongdong didn't sleep, not that he wasn't sleepy, but that Liu Chengfeng was asleep, and someone had to act for the chores of this big camp.
Wang Tao handed over the roster to Li Dongdong first, Li Dongdong looked at the roster, couldn't help laughing, and said lightly: "In this battle, I'm afraid that the elite of the Yue people in the north of Annan will be lost, and Hou Ye's move has been played, and it's time to make the second move." ”
Wang Tao couldn't help but ask, "What is the second step?" ”
Li Dongdong glanced at Wang Tao, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You and I will see you soon." ”
Looking at the mystery on Li Dongdong's face, Wang Tao was even more suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask anything more, even if he asked, people might not be willing to say, so he had to smile and say, "The student will go to rest first." ”
Seeing his sleepy look, Li Dongdong nodded and said, "Sleep well, and I will start tomorrow morning." ”
Open ...... Where to go? Could it really be Thang Long? It's not like here, the trick of sneak attack can only be played once or twice, and it can't be effective every time, and Thang Long is different from the military camp here, without half a year's work, even if tens of thousands of troops besiege the city, it may not be successful.
Isn't this looking for death?
Wang Tao was full of doubts and left in confusion.
……………… The news of the attack immediately spread throughout the northern part of Annam. Some people say that it was the 100,000 troops of the Ming army who suddenly arrived and surrounded and annihilated the Vietnamese army camp in one fell swoop. Some people even say that the Ming court has issued a decree to send 500,000 troops to attack Vietnam, and the vanguard army has arrived. There are also people who paint and describe to people what happened in the night, first the rumbling cavalry suddenly killed, and I don't know how many people, and then there are drums on all sides, as if there are thousands of troops and horses rushing to kill, everywhere is the Ming army, everywhere are iron horses and war horses, the Vietnamese army is crushed for thousands of miles, and immediately collapsed.
These rumors are naturally not credible in the capital of the Great Viet Kingdom. The small court of Da Yue was not stupid, and of course it would not believe these nonsense, but soon, the news was confirmed.
A Yue general who escaped back appeared under the city of Tokyo with a team of stragglers, King Jing Tong of Yue, Jing Tong is the name of the King of Yue, his real name is Li Hui, Li Hui heard the news that the elite were all surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army, and he was so frightened that he was cold, these Vietnamese troops were consolidating the elite of the Vietnamese army in Tokyo, and they also transferred a lot of elites from the northern border passes to join them, Li Hui's original plan was just to take advantage of the fire and get some benefits from the Han people, but who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty would start the war without greeting him.
Li Hui succeeded to the throne for more than three years, the new monarch has just been established, but his father is a generation of heroes, he has personally conquered the south palm to win a big victory, under the halo of his father, Li Hui is also eager to show his strong side, in order to establish his prestige, but who knows that this prestige has not yet been established, he was slapped hard, until now, Li Hui's face is still hot and painful.
Jingtong Wang Lihui was angry, but soon, the rumors of desertion came one by one, but he was scared into a cold sweat.
Could it be that the Ming court really sent troops? If the Ming Dynasty poured the country to come, the small Yue country was hit with an egg, only afraid to repeat the mistakes of the Ming Emperor Wen period, although after decades of fighting, the Ming army finally withdrew, but the Chen Yue Kingdom has since fallen, and the country finally fell into the hands of the Li family, Li Hui is not willing to be the second Chen, and was replaced by his own country.
For this matter, Li Hui hurriedly convened hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss, but Mo Zhengyong, the prime minister of the Yue Kingdom, persuaded him that if the Ming Dynasty sent troops, there would definitely be a war letter in advance, telling the guilt of the Yue State, and it would never be possible to attack suddenly. Besides, even if the troops are dispatched, they naturally have to raise and prepare, and they can never be completed overnight, so Mo Zhengyong means that this time the war may be a misunderstanding, or it may be the plan of the local governor, and the top priority at the moment is to immediately send a messenger to Daming to tell him about this matter and ask Emperor Daming to call the shots.
Mo Zhengyong's opinion made Li Hui's heart calm. It's just that the appearance of the fugitive general made Li Hui worried again.
Li Hui met with the general who fled back, this fugitive general was the northern general of the Yue Kingdom, the deputy marshal of the Vietnamese army in Mong Cai, and was deeply trusted by Li Hui, and Li Hui had to believe his words.
When Li Hui asked about the number of the Ming army, the deputy marshal did not hesitate and said directly: "The number is only afraid of more than 50,000, maybe 100,000 is also possible, in terms of the combat strength of the Ming army, it should be the elite ...... of the Ming army."
This sentence almost didn't scare Li Hui half to death, even if it was a 50,000 Ming army, it would never be possible for a local governor to control it at will, then the biggest possibility was the action that the Ming court had planned for a long time, and the Ming court was going to move seriously.
I'm afraid these are just the vanguards of the Ming army, and God knows how many Ming troops will appear in the future.
Li Hui was almost red-eyed, glared at the deputy marshal, and said viciously: "Is there really no less than 50,000?" ”
In the face of King Yue's questioning, this deputy did not even hesitate at all, at this time hesitation is to bully the king, not to mention that this time he returned defeated, panicking like a lost dog, if it means that the army is just a few thousand grass cowards, this is not directly saying that he is incompetent? Tens of thousands of elite Vietnamese troops were only successfully attacked by thousands of Ming troops.
Moreover, although there was chaos at night, the momentum of the Ming army was really not small, even if there were no 50,000, there were still 20,000 or 30,000, thinking of this, the deputy marshal nodded without hesitation and said: "I am willing to use the head as a guarantee."
By now, Li Hui had to believe it, and he sat on the silver chair in a daze, dumbfounded.
Li Hui can not believe other people's words, but as a close military general in front of Li Hui, how can Li Hui not believe it? He took a long breath, and then said: "Immediately summon the ministers to come to the Yin'an Palace to discuss military affairs, quickly!" ”
The last quick word shows Li Hui's urgent mood, which is already related to the life and death of the Great Yue Kingdom, although he can usually speak wild words and despise the Ming Dynasty, but these words are all said to the next people, in order to increase his prestige, but Li Hui's heart knows best, once the Ming war machine is operational, what kind of power will erupt.
Li Hui knew that what he had to do now was to consult with the ministers as soon as possible, and then find a way to deal with it, no matter what, he had to resolve the current crisis first.
The ministers of the Yue Kingdom had not yet come, and Li Hui was already pacing back and forth on top of the silver hall with his hands in anxiety, his slightly dark face was cloudy, and he let out a few shouts from time to time: "What about the people, why haven't you come yet?" Quick, send someone to invite again! ”
