Chapter 240: Divine Soldiers Descend from Heaven
Saigon Port, the largest port in the Champong state.
The upstream of the port is the Kowloon River, which flows into the sea, forming a vast plain, and Sai Kung Harbour is embedded in it, which is a natural harbor.
At sea level, a flotilla of ships cut through the fog and appeared in the harbor.
On the deck, Chen Ying picked up the map to confirm it, and then said, "Your Highness, there is Saigon Port in front!" ”
Zhu Qiyu looked ahead and said, "Saigon Port, is the port designated by the imperial brother?" ”
Chen Ying replied: "Exactly! ”
"Saigon Port is said to be the largest port in the Champa country, why is it so deserted?"
"I'm afraid it's related to the war ahead."
Zhu Qiyu nodded, and said, "Pass the order, all the staff will go ashore!" ”
Chen Ying immediately ordered: "Prepare to dock and put down the landing ship!" ”
One by one, the flat-bottomed ships fell into the big boats, and the officers and men boarded the landing ships one after another along the cables in an orderly manner.
Immediately, on the sea, hundreds of ships set out in unison and landed first.
After confirming that there was no danger on the shore, he raised a flag and signaled the treasure ship to call at the port.
Chen Ying commanded the flagship to slowly dock, followed by the other three ships, and then sent scouts to inquire about intelligence.
The large forces began to move artillery and ammunition from the ships in an orderly manner, and then debugged on the shore.
Zhu Qiyu looked around with great interest, in his heart, since the imperial brother said that this port is good, it must be good.
As for what's good, well, it's not clear for the time being......
An hour later, the scouts returned.
After listening to the scout's report, Chen Ying immediately came to Zhu Qiyu.
"Your Highness, ahead is the city of Sangkar Bharat, and the main force of Annam is attacking the city!"
Zhu Qiyu suppressed his excitement and said, "Take the map!" ”
Chen Ying beckoned, and immediately two pro-soldiers took out the map and unfolded it in front of Zhu Qiyu.
"Where is the city of Singha Bharat?"
"Your Highness, please see, the city of Sangha Bharata is only sixty miles away from our current location!"
"Sixty Miles ......"
Zhu Qiyu secretly calculated in his heart that the Shenji Battalion carried artillery, and the daily journey was about thirty miles, and if it traveled day and night, it would be possible to travel about fifty miles in one day and one night.
He looked up at the sky, and it was already dusk.
"Rest here tonight, and tomorrow morning, send the army to the city of Sangha and Brahman!"
"Yes!"
…………
The city was almost depleted of ammunition and food, and it was only able to hold on to its last breath.
Mahapancha looks at the north at the head of the city every day, hoping that the Ming army will appear as soon as possible.
However, it has been the eighteenth day since the Annamite siege of the city, and there is still no movement in the north.
"Your Majesty, the city has been without food for three days, and the soldiers really don't have the strength to fight......"
The situation of Mahapancha is slightly better, and it can guarantee a bowl of gruel every day, but drinking only one bowl of porridge a day is not much better than drinking water.
"Look again, go door to door, I don't believe it, the city of Sangkar Bharat, really can't find a grain of grain?"
"Your Majesty, I've searched it three times, and there's really no ......"
Hearing this, Maha Pancha said angrily: "Keep searching, otherwise, what else can I do?" ”
"But, but ......"
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"I want to say, has Your Majesty considered the surrender of Kaesong...... I know that I deserve death for saying this, but I can't live for thousands of people in this city......"
Maha Pan Tea was stunned at first, then shook his head with a wry smile.
With a bang, he pulled out his saber at his waist......
Brush!
The light of the knife flashed, and blood splattered on the spot.
This person is the most trusted general under him, but he can't keep it!
No one can shake the morale of the army, even if it is death, they must drag the whole city to die together!
"But those who shake the hearts of the army will be killed!"
Mahapancha's eyes were full of murderous intent, and the blood on the blade fell drop by drop.
The soldiers did not dare to think about anything wrong, dragged their tired bodies, and continued to fight.
Kill!
Rush!
The Annam army continued to attack the city, and they set up ladders and climbed upwards.
Stones and bricks kept falling on the top of the head, and if they were hit, they would immediately fall to pieces.
Some rushed to the walls of the city at the risk of death, but they were immediately surrounded by corpses, and in a short time they were turned into corpses and thrown from the city.
The corpses under the city were piled up, and in this battle, the battle losses of the Annan army had exceeded 10,000 and suffered heavy losses.
However, they found that the defenders were no better, and seemed to have become the last of their powers.
Both armies are hanging on their last breath, and whoever relaxes first loses.
Hold on, maybe one more day, and the city will be broken!
Rumble......
In the distance, a muffled sound came, it seemed to be artillery, and no one paid attention to it, thinking it was the artillery of the Annamite people.
Bang!
In Mengdi, a huge explosion sounded, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, several times more powerful than the artillery of the Annan Army.
Maha Pan Tea secretly muttered, could it be that the Annan people still have some big killing weapons hidden and haven't taken them out?
He looked closely, but found that this explosion occurred in the Annan army formation, and it missed?
Or is it blown up?
Immediately afterward, there were several muffled sounds.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
He suddenly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly turned his head to look.
I saw an army of about 2,000 people suddenly appear a hundred zhang away.
Didn't you come with your own support?
No, all the armies are concentrated here, where are the armies in the south?
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
A series of huge explosions sounded in the formation of the Annan army, and suddenly a group of people turned on their backs.
Mahapancha was surprised in his heart, what kind of artillery is this, terrifying, why have he never seen it?
Suddenly, he realized that this army did not seem to be his own.
Could it be ......
His stunned expression began to turn to delight, and he muttered, "Yes...... It's the Ming army, and the Ming Dynasty is really here to support us! ”
I thought that the Ming army was marching from the north, but I didn't expect it to suddenly appear in the south.
Maha Pancha immediately thought that this Ming army might have come from the sea.
The Annan army under the city found that the situation was not right, and immediately Mingjin withdrew its troops, but the artillery bombardment of the Ming army continued, and the explosions remembered one after another, and the lethality of the huge explosion to the flesh and blood was undoubtedly devastating.
Mahapancha stood at the head of the city, looking at the Annan army fleeing in a hurry, and immediately laughed out loud.
This army is undoubtedly a divine soldier for the Champa State!
"Order, open the gates, attack!"
Attacking now belongs to beating the water dogs, and if you don't fight in vain, you won't fight.
When the soldiers saw the support of the Ming army coming, especially the firearms of the Ming army, they were so frightened, and they suddenly rekindled their hope.
They fought their way out of the city to clear a passage and then went out of the city in pursuit.
The Annan army was already in chaos, and it was in no mood to resist at all, and fled in all directions like headless flies.
How could the Cham army give up such an opportunity for revenge, they screamed, brandished their swords and spears and rushed forward.
This time, they want to pour out all the pent-up anger!
