Chapter 458: The King (Emperor) Assists the Army
The current strategy will not change, there are too many Annan people, and in the future, a large number of Han Chinese will be needed to fill this land, and the Annan people can only be described as a minority group, so as to dispel their thoughts that they should not have.
There is no such undeserved antipathy, so that they can live in peace, think about it, Wang Xuan's killing is completely for the good of the Annan people, to help them continue the race, to cut off their cholera roots, for long-term peace and stability, for the happy life of their descendants, and for the sake of ......
For this reason, Wang Xuan also has to bear the bad reputation of killing, really, my Wang is wronged!
To whom do you tell the bitterness of your heart!?
"Hey!" sighed, but it doesn't matter, who made me so selfless, not for fame, not for profit, from the bottom of my heart for the continuation of the race of the Annamite people into the greatest anger.
Wang Xuan lay bored in his rocking chair, waiting for the 60,000 troops to come back from the Quang Nam front, these damn monkeys were walking too slowly.
The mind is full of confusion, whether to erect a statue for himself, and write the words of gratitude of the people of Annam to himself to commemorate his exploits.
Thinking about it, Wang Xuan felt like he was about to fall asleep.
"Lord, the vanguard of the Annan Army has appeared." A voice sounded in his ears, Wang Xuan's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he nodded slightly to indicate that he knew.
The entire ambush plan was laid out early, and it was only necessary for the Annan army to start implementing it.
According to the intelligence of the scouts, the speed of the opponent's march was accurately calculated, and combined with the terrain, it was basically possible to determine the location where they would camp in the next two days.
Wang Xuan didn't have the idea of directly firing the fire, not because he was afraid that he would not be able to fight, nor was he afraid that the loss would be too great, but because he was afraid that he would not be able to cause the greatest killing effect.
In a frontal battle, with the quality of the Annan army, one percent of the casualties could not bear the defeat and would be defeated, once the rout was dispersed, it was impossible to cause great damage, unless the terrain was special, but this area was all plains, and there were no natural conditions at all.
If you want to talk about lethality, it is really flying water and fire.
Therefore, Wang Xuan's direct plan for fire attack, at night, the breeze is slow, a round of the first quarter moon hangs high in the sky, the night sky is dotted with stars, and the occasional few clouds drifting by make the already sparse moonlight even more blurred.
The camp of 60,000 people, stretching one after another, with no end in sight, looked like a tomb in the hazy night light, and was just one tombstone away.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, this is a sacred moment, in the four directions of east, west, north and south, a large number of soldiers surrounded the camp of the Annamite people, led by special operators wearing night suits, and their task was to clear the scouts outside the camp.
"Bang!"
Fireworks bloomed in the sky, and for a while, the surrounding area was bright, and at this moment, shouts of killing were heard from all sides, and before the Annanites could react, the army was killed to the edge of the camp.
"Pap", "Pap", "Pap", "Pap", "Pap", "Pap", one by one, the clay pots were thrown over by the soldiers, smashed on the simple wooden walls of the camp, and the fire oil and other things in the clay pots were sprinkled everywhere.
The shouts of "enemy attack", "enemy attack" and "enemy attack" were remembered from the camp, and they were not accompanied by the soldiers of the Ming army charging, but the fire folds that suddenly ignited one by one.
This fire fold is a bit big, it's all huge, or it can be simply called a torch.
The torch circled in the air and fell on the walled wall in a parabolic shape, and the "boom" fire burned inexorably.
In order to make the fire big enough, Wang Xuan also deliberately let the soldiers carry a lot of firewood, all of which were newly cut branches, which were not easy to burn and were relatively humid, but this was in line with Wang Xuan's intentions, the smoke was big, you must know that in the fire, a large number of dead people were not burned to death, but were smoked to death.
There was no strong wind tonight, and the smoke was not easy to be blown away, and Wang Xuan deliberately did it, and the smoke was billowing into the sky on all sides, even if it was not far away, he couldn't see what was going on the other side, and he could only hear a chaotic shout in the camp, and the voice was full of surprise, panic, panic, fear, and hysteria.
There are fires burning on all sides, there is no room to escape at all, and from time to time there are fire oil cans that are thrown in, this thing is a small and simple stone throwing car, just throwing a few pounds of fire oil cans, or a small bundle of branches, can be easily thrown out more than 400 meters, launched from all sides, can basically cover the entire Annan army camp.
With an army of 30,000 and firewood prepared for several days in advance, it may be a little difficult to completely cover a camp of 60,000 people, but it is not necessary to do this at all, just cover most of it.
If you want to roast people thoroughly, you may not be able to do it, after all, it needs to be rotated and roasted repeatedly, but it is not too easy for people who are just smoked to death.
For the first half hour, you could still hear the screams inside one after another, and you could occasionally see people rushing out with fire all over their bodies, but after half an hour, there was basically no sound.
Wang Xuan was very satisfied with his masterpiece, and it was easy to annihilate the 60,000 army in a battle.
Just wait for tomorrow dawn and the 30,000 army to collect the corpses of the other party.
After this battle, the entire Annam and North had no power to resist.
……
Thang Long Mansion, a huge city, has only more than 30,000 people under Wang Xuan's command, and can only use this small area in the north of the city near the Red River.
At this time, in a military camp, Chen Xinyuan has been locked up for almost half a month, since he was captured that day, Wang Xuanjun has been very busy, sorting out the corpses in the city, looting property, preparing to ambush the 60,000 troops returning from Guangnan, and so on, and a series of work, so he forgot about Chen Xinyuan.
Especially during the period of going out to ambush, he almost starved to death, and at this time the army finally returned, Chen Xinyuan felt that he couldn't wait like this, in case the Ming army felt that they were useless, then ...... The consequences are unimaginable, after all, even if he is really a Ming person, there are hundreds of millions of people, and there is still a lack of such a person, so he must be a useful person!
Moreover, these days, he has also figured out a lot of things, the Ming businessman who is particularly close to him and generous should be a spy, no, he is a spy, and it is not right, that is my good brother Chen Xinyuan, and he is the guide for me to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
A voice suddenly rang out in the camp.
"Let me go, I want to see the Lord, I'm not crazy, I'm a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, I'm useful, let me out, I understand the situation in Annan, I've made meritorious contributions to the Lord!"
This shout was still very useful, and he met Wang Xuan as he wished.
Wang Xuan, as the top of the main hall, looked at this Chen Xinyuan, who began to kneel three times and bow nine times as soon as he entered the door, claiming that his ancestor was a Ming man, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.
After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, Chen Xinyuan didn't get up, so he knelt in front of Wang Xuan on the ground and kowtowed respectfully again, "Sinner Chen Xinyuan, I have seen the Lord." ”
"You said that you made meritorious contributions to me, but you were imprisoned, this means that I am a great hero."
"The villain doesn't dare." Chen Xinyuan was frightened, and hurriedly said: "The villain's ancestors are all Han people, and he has always longed to return to his ancestral land, but the road is far away, and he has not been able to make the trip. ”
"Sure enough, the lord's divine soldiers descended from heaven and destroyed Shenglong Mansion in one fell swoop, when I was in Nanding, I deliberately bewitched Liang Biyou, the general of the defending army, marched overnight, and came to Shenglong Mansion at the fastest speed, just to consume the physical strength of the soldiers of Annan, and intended to create favorable conditions for the victory of my Ming army."
"It's just that the villain is in the Annan army, and the lord doesn't know, so there is a little misunderstanding, but it doesn't matter, the villain only hopes to be able to throw himself into the arms of Daming again and die without regrets."
"Okay, now that you're back into Daming's arms, why don't you die yet!?" Wang Xuan suddenly interjected, he was like seeing what else Chen Xinyuan could say.
"I ...... I can't die, I still have to repay the Lord, the Lord has come here to give me a new life, I must repay the Lord's kindness! ”
"Hahaha, okay, I'm pretty good at talking." With this eloquence, Wang Xuan decided to spare his life.
Moreover, he really has some places to use Chen Xinyuan, after all, the northern part of Annan must be taken now, but people are always needed to manage it, and it is definitely not enough to rely on the 30,000 people in his hands alone, but he can't get more troops and population.
At least on his own, don't even think about it in the short term.
Therefore, it is necessary to have the assistance of the locals, these people are all Annan traitors, and the use of Annan people to manage Annan people has two major advantages, dividing Annan people, it can be effective in the short term, as for long-term things, there is no need to think about it, in the future, a large number of Han people will immigrate over, and these Annan people will be sold little by little.
Now, such an interesting guy is sent to him, and there are Annan people who will assist in the management in the future.
Wang Xuan decided to re-gather a group of troops for this guy, and specially gathered those people in Annam who were greedy for life and afraid of death, lazy to eat, oppress the good, and pretend to be smart guys to form an army, believing that with so many advantages in him, the possibility of rebellion was very small.
For such an army, it is also possible to find a template in history, such as the famous puppet army, the 'Imperial Cooperative Army', in order to maintain the fine tradition, Wang Xuan decided that this army that will be led by Chen Xinyuan will be called, 'Wang Xiejun'!
In this way, I wish that Chen Xinyuan and Wang Xiejun can go further and further on the road of Annan traitor.
"Since you have made meritorious contributions, then I will not hesitate to reward you, so I will allow you to build an army with the people of Annam."
looked at Chen Xinyuan, who was kneeling at his feet, eager to climb down and lick his shoes a few bites, "Why are you like a dog!" ”
"Wang, Wang." Chen Xintan immediately knelt down, punched his hands in front of his chest, stretched out his tongue hard, and looked at Wang Xuan tremblingly, showing the appearance of a dog Nan'an to the fullest.
