Chapter 459: No Hero of Time Makes the Shaft Famous
10,000 troops, with the harvest from Annam, returned to Fujian by boat, first, Fujian is the old nest, can not be empty for too long, second, so much property with it, still need to be guarded by the army, it is really inconvenient.
The remaining 20,000 troops, under the leadership of Wang Xuan, crossed the Red River and advanced towards the north.
As for the two cities and a large area of territory that had just been defeated behind him, Wang Xuan didn't care whether he occupied it or not, Annan and the north had already destroyed the forces that could threaten him.
It would be better if the Nguyen people dared to go out of Quang Nam to occupy these two places, and if they went out of Quang Nam, the troops would be scattered and it would be easier to take them.
Now Wang Xuan is thinking about going all the way to the north, sweeping all the towns in Annan on the way, and cleaning up the high-level Annan on a larger scale.
Along the way, the momentum is like a bamboo, after a city and a county are captured, all the big households are killed, and the people can be spared death, of course, there is no such thing as opening a warehouse to release grain, and the people of Annan will not starve to death.
The county soldiers and city guards, all who dared to resist were killed, and the rest were gathered together to join the 'Wang Xiejun', as they went all the way to the north, the team kept growing, and in the back, the siege of the city and the village no longer needed Wang Xuan's men to take action, it was enough to rely on Wang Xiejun alone.
The news also spread slowly, especially the appearance of Thang Long Mansion and Nam Ding City.
……
Hue, Nguyen, is like another small court.
In the meeting hall, Lord Ruan looked at the civil and military forces present, and said in a deep voice: "Some time ago, the 60,000 troops of the Zheng Lord outside Guangnan suddenly retreated, and now I know the reason, a group of Ming troops took a boat and attacked Thang Long Mansion from the mouth of the Red River upstream, this is some information that our army has discovered. ”
After speaking, Lord Ruan handed a piece of information to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch began to read it aloud.
As the information unfolded in front of everyone, when it was said that Thang Long Mansion and Nam Dinh City were slaughtered, and the whole city was left with no chickens and dogs, the entire council hall exploded.
"What? Slaughter the city! ”
"This Wang Xuan is really a madman, hundreds of thousands of people, all of them have been killed, isn't he afraid of God's curse!"
"This man is so cruel and brutal."
"Lost conscience!"
"You must not let him go, you must kill him, not killing him is not enough to make the people angry!"
"Kill him, a thousand cuts!"
These civil and military scolding for a while before stopping, and after quieting down, the eunuch continued to read, including the 60,000 troops who returned to King Qin, were all burned to death by a fire, Wang Xuan went north, and all the big households were killed in the county seat, and a series of all kinds were displayed in front of everyone.
When the last word was read, the audience was silent, the voice that had just been clamoring to send troops to kill Wang Xuan was completely gone, and Lord Zheng was completely finished, it was an army of 150,000, not to mention all destroyed, there was not much left, and on Ruan's side, there was no 150,000 army in total.
What to do?
Now this Wang Xuan is going straight to the north, it seems that he is going to open up the passage to the Ming Dynasty, and in the future, he will definitely point the spearhead at the south, what will they do when the time comes?
No one thinks they can defeat Wang Xuan.
A thought flashed through everyone's hearts, is Daming going to conquer Annan again?
But why was the city slaughtered? This is not in accordance with the rules!
If this continues, they may not have a chance to surrender in the future!
As for occupying the large territory left after Wang Xuan left, no one thought about it, wasn't he afraid of dying fast enough!
After discussing for two hours, there was no substantive thing discussed, and even the specific information of Wang Xuan's army was not known, and it was not clear why it would invade Annan again, and what countermeasures could be made.
The only result that came out of the discussion was to be a strong soldier, a strict guard, and a strict guard as much as it could.
The news has spread, and all the big households in the north and south of Annan have begun to flee Wang Xuan's northbound route and flee towards the west, and there is no intention of resisting, and the difference in strength cannot be seen at all.
That's not a mantis arm ride anymore, it's simply a brain problem.
Faced with this situation, Wang Xuan didn't have the heart to pursue, after all, he also knew in his heart that 20,000 people were too few, and if they were scattered, they wouldn't be able to make any waves at all.
**It is never eaten in one bite, it can only be achieved by unremitting efforts every day, Annan is a country after all, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Great Yuan, it has not been completely pacified here, and Wang Xuan is not in a hurry.
This conquest of Annam is just the beginning of a series of plans, and there are still too many things to deal with in the future.
The army has been driven until the border between Annan and Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan is extremely long, but there are not many garrisons, and most of them are in Siming Mansion in Guangxi, Taiping Mansion, and Lianzhou Mansion in Guangdong, with a total of less than 30,000 in total.
Wang Xuan has the intention to absorb a part of Wang Xiejun, but 30,000, this is a bit too much, and it will give these people some bad thoughts, this person, once he thinks too much, he is easy to be rash, which is not good.
After looking around on the map, Wang Xuan's last gaze was on Simingzhou.
Siming Prefecture is the main transportation artery between Annan and Guangxi, and the Annan army stationed here is also the largest, about 15,000 people, as long as it is pulled out here, the rest of the people can be ignored.
Three days later, the border pass, Wang Xuan and five miles away camped, to look at the front of this checkpoint, once, this checkpoint was built in the Southern Song Dynasty, and later fell into the hands of the Annan people to resist the invasion of the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and later re-strengthened several times, all for the Ming side, and close to the Annan side of the country is a little low and dilapidated.
Of course, all this is compared to the north, in fact, it is the same as three zhang and ten meters high, and it is still a majestic pass.
There is such a Xiongguan, no wonder in the face of Wang Xuanjun's name of 'blood massacre', the border guard still did not flee, in fact, he did not escape, this is already the Xiongguan of Annan second only to Shenglong Mansion.
The name of the bloody slaughter army was given by the Annan people, representing the place where this army passed, the blood flowed like a river, killing people like slaughtering dogs, slaughtering cities repeatedly, mercilessly, Wang Xuan was also quite satisfied with this name, this is a sharp weapon to deter foreigners, what special benevolence and righteousness, who told him in the future to educate the foreign race, to be benevolent and righteous, he sent the whole family of the fool to the foreign race, and if the education is not good, don't come back.
In the Guannai, in the huge conference hall, there are only three people sitting, and these three generals are the three largest in the Guannai, and now that the army is pressing, it depends on the three of them who decide where to go.
"Two, the Blood Massacre Army has arrived in front of the pass, let's talk about where we are going."
"Hmph, the bloody massacre army, it's just a slaughter of civilians, since the Ming army sneak attack on Shenglong Mansion, until now, when has a serious frontal battle, it has always relied on conspiracy to win, we face the Ming Dynasty all the year round, I don't know what kind of virtue their army is, at most we can only say that the commander of this Ming army has some ability, there is news from the Hu Governor's Mansion, the Ming court did not order the conquest of Annan at all, and this army does not know where it came from."
One of the bearded men continued with a disdainful face: "Now it's not as good as before, we are entrenched in the Xiongguan, the soldiers are good enough to eat, as long as they don't go out of the pass, let him have a thousand calculations, what about all kinds of schemes, if he wants to defeat us, he must attack head-on, now they only have 20,000 people, we also have 15,000 people, and the benefits of Xiongguan, I still don't believe it, they really have three heads and six arms!" ”
Another dark-skinned, somewhat thin, small eyes full of shrewd generals also said: "Fight head-on, there is only good and no harm, win, the adult will be famous in Annan, now Annan urgently needs a master, the adult may not be able to compete with the Ruan family, if this bloody slaughter army is really strong, a few siege battles will not be too comfortable, and when the time comes, it will also reflect that the general leads the troops in a good way, and is a great talent." ”
"Didn't Wang Xuan engage in a Wang Xiejun, I heard that the name of the leader of the troops is Chen Xinyuan, a nobody, when the time comes, the adults will take us to surrender, plus the elite in the city, then Wang Xuan's welcome is too late, the position of the general of the Wang Xiejun is not an adult, the left and right will not suffer, it is better to fight."
The general sitting at the top pondered for a moment, and also felt that the two of them were reasonable, so he nodded and agreed: "What the two virtuous brothers said is reasonable, then there will be a battle, if Wang Xuan sends someone to persuade him to surrender, he will be sent back directly, I Huang Tong is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." ”
After the discussion, the two lieutenants withdrew, and when they arrived at the door, they looked at each other, and a strange color flashed in their eyes, and neither of them said anything and walked to both sides.
The bearded man secretly sneered in his heart, let's fight, only if the fight is fought, so that the blood slaughter army has losses, when the time comes, I will kill the general, set things right, abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and surrender in Kaecheng, this credit will be greater, otherwise just surrender now, there is really no merit that can be done.
As for the general, I believe he will understand me, after all, he is Lord Zheng's henchman, killing him is to fulfill his loyalty, and the general himself said that he is not greedy for life and afraid of death!
On the other side, the little eyes also sneered in his heart, this beard, pretending to be reckless all day long, in fact, is the most treacherous, and the general's fool will believe him, but if the general is not a fool, where will he give me a chance, and I don't look at this bloody slaughter army all the way, none of the big households in the county are left, and it is clear that they want to kill all the high-level leaders of Annan, just like the prefect of the Ming Siming Mansion said, this is not the army of the Ming Dynasty at all!
I don't know where to run out of the private soldiers, act unscrupulously, not afraid of being criticized by those literati, so they dare to carry out large-scale slaughter, this is to eliminate the possible resistance forces, to lay the foundation for long-term rule, the stupid general is from a famous family, how can the bloody slaughter army accept his surrender.
However, it's good to fight, then I have the opportunity, I am also a Ming person, well, the ancestor is a Ming person, when the war is anxious, I will contact the blood slaughter army, and then the inside and outside should open the city gate to welcome the king into the country, this credit is more significant.
Chen Xinyuan, hum, there is no hero to make the erector famous!
