This was originally a small market town north of the Great Viet Kingdom, because of the border with Lian Chau and the open terrain, this small market town began to assemble a large number of Vietnamese troops a few days ago.

Or because of the greedy psychology of the king of Annan, for the intimidation of the marquis of Lianzhou, the king of Annan can be said to have hollowed out his mind, here there are more than 10,000 Annan military horses in line to perform martial arts, the so-called martial arts, in fact, everyone knows, this is just a formality, showing off the martial arts of the Great Yue Kingdom, in addition to showing the tough position of the Great Yue Kingdom.

On this vast plain, countless tents were set up, and in the gap between the huge cowhide tents, there were piles of burning bonfires, and after four hours of martial arts, the soldiers were already exhausted, although the bonfires were raging, most of them had rested in their tents.

The defense of the entire battalion can be described as lax, even the sentinels on duty at night, at this moment are hiding and lazy, lax defense is certain, this is not a march to fight, just a military exercise, even the king's edict only said that the Ming people should see the military power of the Great Yue Kingdom, this military power has been fully performed in the daytime, and it is natural to take a break at night.

In fact, it is not just an ordinary soldier, but this time the commander Li Zheng is also this thought, Li Zheng is the clan of the Li Dynasty Dayue, this time he was ordered to come only as a beautiful errand, after a commander's addiction, after all, he did not hold any military position before, but Li Zheng is also a person who loves to march, repeatedly to the king of Yue to ask the army to fight, the king of Yue has already seen that he is a straw bag, naturally refused, this time it is just a martial arts, the surname Suo let him bring the troops out, the right is to play in the mountains and rivers.

In fact, there is no difference between the surname of this military exercise and the pleasure of the mountains and rivers, anyway, there will be no enemies, so the generals below are also messing around with this commander, for example, after Li Zheng's camp, he didn't even know to release the ordinary scouts, and the generals below wanted to remind them, but then they dispelled this idea, even if they were they, they were afraid that they might not be willing to release the scouts, and it was not a real march to fight, who would release the scouts to? Besides, General Li is in high spirits now, so he can't pour cold water on others at this time.

The small slope leaning on the big camp is a temple, called Mangshan Temple, said to be a mountain, this Mong Street does not have a mountain, but this temple is a Buddhist temple of the Eight Classics, it is said that it is the period of Emperor Wen of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army hundreds of thousands went south, the soldiers miss the homeland, it is to build a temple here, after which the Annam people returned to the country, this temple was not demolished, but the temple was repaired, it seems to have a bit of ridicule and mockery.

The front hall of the temple enshrines several big Buddhas, but the apse is the stone statue of the general of the Ming Dynasty, because the time is long, the Yue people can not tell who it is, only occasionally someone can see the stone statue carved with Chengguo Gong Zhu, Xiping Hou Mu, Xincheng Hou Zhang and other Chinese characters.

After performing martial arts for so long, it was hard to rest, and many generals were already exhausted, but Li Zheng was full of interest, after all, when performing martial arts, the generals were tired and panting, but Li Zheng was just sitting in the big tent to supervise the army, so he naturally did not feel tired.

Therefore, as soon as the night came, Li Zheng's mood was still not calm, so he gathered the crowd to drink in this Buddhist temple.

At this time, the Buddhist temple, the courtyard wall has been mottled, the soldiers cut off the moss and forest trees under the stone base in the corner, but make this Buddhist temple appear more dilapidated, a few lanterns rose in this courtyard wall, the rising candlelight made the black Buddhist temple become dark, the weather here is hot, so the banquet is held in the courtyard wall, there are some tables and chairs placed in the courtyard wall, but there are no rules.

Many generals are full of tiredness, but they have to perfunctory Li Zheng one or two, Li Zheng has a lot of wine, a few bowls of wine in the stomach, the voice is a little louder, several persuasions, the people under the head dare not drink, and they have to praise Li Zheng a few words. Li Zheng's appearance is quite dignified among the Yue people, after drinking wine, his cheeks are also red, and he can't help laughing when he listens to the flattery.

"This time, the king ordered me to supervise the army, but it made you hard, but it's a pity that the army can only practice martial arts when they arrive here, and they can't take advantage of the situation to enter the Ming Realm, otherwise tonight, I and you are only afraid that we will have to eat and celebrate in Guilin." Li Zheng looked a little regretful, in his opinion, the Vietnamese army was neat and morale, and the Ming army was not their opponent.

The generals said yes, Li Zheng's words hit their hearts, in fact, in this Nanyang area, the strength of the Great Yue Kingdom is the strongest, repeatedly attacking Nanzhang and other countries, repeatedly winning battles, at this time naturally feel that the Ming Kingdom is not a big deal, not to mention that this army is elite, almost all the northern elites of the Great Yue Kingdom are gathered here, with such an army, what enemy is there to fear in the world?

Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Zheng showed more meaning, and said an unknown number of wine words, this banquet is naturally going to disperse, Li Zheng looked out from the temple, the pieces of the camp are scattered, with the Buddhist temple as the center scattered around, the heart can't help but stir, and he refuses to let the crowd go.

The generals were drunk and tired, and they were really a little unbearable, but they could only consume like this, at this time, a knight shuttled through the camp, quickly arrived at the mountain gate of this Buddhist temple, and then fell off his horse, rushed in, and said loudly in Vietnamese: "General, it's not good, it's not good......

Li Zheng was drinking, and when he heard someone say that it was not good, he suddenly felt a little taboo, and said angrily: "What's bad? ”

The knight knelt down and saluted, panting and said: "The sentry post three miles away to the north has suddenly been attacked, and fireworks have been released to warn you, please make a decision!" ”

The knight's words suddenly woke up a lot of drunken generals, at this time the sentry post was suddenly attacked, this is a very serious matter, everyone went out of the temple gate one after another, and sure enough, they saw a raging fire burning in the far open field, which lit up half of the night sky.

Li Zheng's drunkenness also woke up a lot, he didn't know what military affairs, but he also knew that the army camped often set up sentry posts everywhere to prevent enemy attacks, the original location of this sentry post should be ten miles away, but because the vigilance surname is not high, and ten miles to the north is the border of the Ming people, in the edict of the king of Yue, three orders and five shen let Li Zheng maintain restraint, this time it is just intimidation, don't really frighten the Marquis of Lianzhou, frightening the Marquis of Lianzhou is actually fine, but don't provoke the Ming Court to produce a wrong judgment.

So this sentry post was only set up three miles away, and now someone actually attacked the sentry post, could it be that the Ming people wanted to invade the south?

Thinking of this, Li Zheng couldn't help but shake his head, now the envoy Li Xin is still in Lianzhou, if the Ming people really want to make a big move, they will definitely expel the envoy, Li Xin is only afraid that he will come back early, and he will pass on some news if it is not good.

Don't...... It's a nearby barbarian...... Li Zheng came up with a possibility, this may not be nothing, the barbarian and the Yue people are not of the same race, although the relationship with the Han people is not good, but there may not be any deep friendship with the Yue people, today he may be in the same breath as you, tomorrow he may be against you.

It's just that Li Zheng dispelled this idea again, if it was normal times, it was possible for the barbarians to make any changes, but this time he came with a large army, no matter how bold these barbarians were, would they dare to do anything to the army of Da Yue?

Li Zheng's eyes reflected the flames that burned half the sky in the distance, but his mind was a mess, but the generals next to him reminded him, "General, should you wake up the soldiers, let them get ready, and send a team of scouts to the guard tower to investigate, maybe because the night guards are lax and cause a fire." ”

Li Zheng woke up in shock and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, just do as you say, quickly, wake everyone up, in case of accidents, send scouts." ”

It's just that by this time, it's too late.

If scouts had been sent out earlier, or if the sentry post had been extended a few miles further north, there might have been a possibility of a battle, but at this time, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the ground.

Thundered...... Thundered...... More than 200 healthy horses, galloping in the dark.

Two hundred cavalry is already the largest force in Liu Chengfeng's hands, but the momentum of the cavalry is not small in this night.

Under the cover of night, the cavalrymen raised their swords.

The blade is still under the raging flames of Xingyue and the back, with Sen Ran!

The knight's riding skills are not actually athletic, and even a little stiff. The powerful cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was always deployed in Liaodong and Datong, but in Guangxi, it was just an empty shelf.

But in the whistling night wind, the cavalry with their swords raised still carried a windswept momentum!

The wind was howling, the fire was burning, and then the shouts of killing came out, and behind the cavalry, in the darkness, it seemed that an army all over the mountains and fields was as fearlessly crushed as the waves.

In the dark, the banner hunted sounded, and the large characters embroidered with gold silk were faintly visible.

'Lianzhou Wanhu Hou Liu! ’

Seven thousand men and horses in the grain and grass has already been fully prepared, in the heavy reward of Liu Chengfeng, rushed forty miles from Lianzhou to arrive here, forty miles away is not far, said to be close to the close, but the morale of the soldiers is quite high, Liu Chengfeng's order is carried out thoroughly.

It's just that the march in the dark is a lot of trouble, and along the way, I don't know how many people have left the team and fallen behind.

However, most of the Ming army still arrived here as scheduled, and they decisively attacked the sentry post, and then rushed here without hesitation.

Liu Chengfeng deliberately put everyone's formation apart, forming a kind of momentum all over the mountains, in the dark night, no one will know how many Ming troops, the Annan people have not fought with the Ming army, at least in their minds, if the Ming army goes out, there are at least more than ten or two hundred thousand male soldiers. Who would have thought that this time only 7,000 people came.
