Chapter XXVIII
In the evening, Li Zhengju led his troops to quietly surround the village, while the soldiers stationed in the village were cooking on fire, and they were ready to rest after eating, because after a few days of rest, they would engage the rebels.
"General, when are we on?" The soldier said.
"Don't worry, you kid, when they are full and asleep, at that time, catch them off guard." Li Zhengju said.
"Yes."
"Stay on your guard, wait for my orders, and as soon as I say rush, you will go up." Li Zhengju said.
In this way, they stayed up until dark, and the Vietnamese soldiers went back to their houses to sleep, but because it was so dark, they spent some more time making torches, and saw that everything was ready.
"Rush." Li Zhengju ordered in a low voice.
So the army quickly mobilized and went towards the village, and in fact there were people who urinated a lot and saw the fire, but they didn't take it seriously, but thought that someone was in a hurry to go at night, so they went back to sleep.
Therefore, it is often said that details determine success or failure, and the truth is reflected here. Li Jun surrounded each house in the form of a small detachment, and finally broke into the house in one go, and wiped them out, capturing hundreds of enemy soldiers with zero casualties.
Li Zhengjun asked the soldiers to tie up the Vietnamese army, and said directly: "Do you want to die or live, I know that you were forced to go to the battlefield in desperation, and now I give you a chance to go home and reunite with your families." ”
Most of them were from Thang Long, Cao Ping, and Lang Son, and since most of them were mountains, the number of soldiers provided was small, and they could not ask for anything when they heard Li Zhengju's request, and they all agreed to go home.
Li Zhengju nodded with satisfaction, the person who knows the times is Junjie, these people are Junjie, so he released them the next day and let them go home.
"General, another garrison stronghold has been discovered."
"Oh? Well, it seems that we will not be idle tonight, and the brothers will have a good rest during the day, and we will have to continue to work in the evening. ”
"Yes."
A village in Lancang, the Lancang army was defeated and fled here, the Lancang army did not flee to Champasak, but fled into the mountains of the Taqu region, except for Champasak, the territory controlled by Lancang is basically mountainous, so if the Khmer wants to attack these places, it will not take a long time, Lancang is also ready to recruit troops again, ready to fight again, after all, fighting mountain warfare is their strength, and the current siege of Champasak has only just begun, as long as they persuade Ayuthaya not to continue to intervene in the war, or join their camp, it will be good.
Luang Prabang, King Faon sent an envoy to Ayutthaya to seek peace, of course, convincing Ayuthaya is also their goal, but if they can't convince them, it will not affect them much, after all, the founding king of Lancang has his own way to deal with the Khmer, otherwise he would not be able to stand up to so much pressure to come out independently.
Back in northern Vietnam, Li Zhengju and his entourage secured one stronghold after another, and almost persuaded nearly 1,000 people to return, so Li Zhengju continued to make efforts for the cause of liberating the compatriots, and they wanted to persuade the next group of Vietnamese troops to surrender tonight.
It's still a familiar night, a familiar person, a familiar torch, Li Zhengju is also calm, he has done this kind of thing many times, but this time there was an accident.
