The Ming Dynasty set off from the Guangxi Political Envoy to the East Route Army can be said to be like a bamboo, successively conquering the three passes of Po Lei, Pass Liu, and Jiling, and the Annan defenders who killed were defeated, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Fuliang River.

And the progress of the Western Route Army is also not slow, at least Jiang Xinghuo does not seem to be slow judging from the military report handed by Xiping Marquis Musheng to the imperial court

"Chenxi Pinghou Mu Sheng and others marched from Mengzi County, passed through the barbarian and took the road, passed through the forest mang, trekked ruggedly, and commanded Chen Rong and others to seize the [fierce pass], and the thieves were defeated; Tongzhi Yu Rang and others attacked [Column Flower Pass], and the barbarians captured it; [Xianyou Pass] looks at the wind, but also runs through the pearl and builds a base, and still publishes wood to build a boat. ”

Looking at it this way, it is also Lianke Sanguan, and the situation is not a small good, but a big good!

But Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, who was still recuperating, still pointed out the problem with his eyes closed: "This is a small road, the so-called fierce pass, the column flower pass, and the immortal tour Guan Yunyun, I'm afraid that no one will defend it at all." ”

Jiang Xinghuo didn't have a map in his hand to refer to, so naturally it was better to have done enough preparation for Zhu Neng, so he turned out the report of Li Bin, the deputy commander of the Western Route Army, Fengcheng Hou, to compare and reference.

Zhu Neng's complexion has improved a lot, but after all, he is recovering from a serious illness, so he is still lying at home at this time, extremely bored every day, and Zhu Di let him rest well, and does not allow those vulgar martial artists to come to disturb him, let alone give Zhu Neng any tasks, for fear that Zhu Neng will become seriously ill again, but fortunately, Jiang Xinghuo came to see him, so that he had someone to speak.

As for whether Jiang Xinghuo will see a doctor

Anyway, following the "fertilizer immortal", the name of "miracle doctor" has also begun to spread.

Then the governor and the commander Xu Sun, Kong, etc., led the elite soldiers first, highlighted the Xuanguang River estuary, attacked and killed the thieves, and sought to seize the sand such as Aotang. Chen Bin (Fengcheng Hou Li Bin) complex phase of its upstream can be calculated and dive, is personally led by the governor Cheng Da, commander Song Yi, etc., in the night diving boat rank, out of the middle of the road, take the time to hit the thief, set fire to the boat, and start to seize the Fuliang River. ”

"In this battle, the Yiliu combined attack, and the ships touched end to end; Fierce battles and catches, the waves are red up and down. I struck the beach and set up a formation, and the thieves flew into the sky. Then find a way to enter the division, and form a base with the enemy, but the danger of the multi-state city, the throat of the river with the three belts, the preparation is very strict, and the attack should be cautious. ”

In all fairness, the war report is well written from the reader's point of view.

The writing is brilliant, and the sentences are used, and the writing fully shows the might of the great tomorrow soldiers and generals, but I don't know which scribe's handwriting.

But there is such a thing as a war report, especially a polished war report, which involves the fundamental interests of the generals, and it is generally a big defeat that turns into a small defeat, and a small victory that runs into a big victory, of course, and there are even more outrageous ones, all by imagination.

Therefore, if there is no expert with his own sharp eyes to interpret it in combination with various situations, ordinary people are afraid that they will really be confused.

Zhu Neng, who was leaning on the bed, pondered for a moment, and the picture of Annan appeared in his mind, and then pointed to the battle report with his finger and said: "Fengcheng Hou Li Bin and Xiping Hou Musheng divided their troops at the beginning, and they didn't go all the way. ”

After Zhu Neng's explanation, Jiang Xinghuo roughly understood the marching route of the Western Route Army.

The main force of Xiping Hou Musheng should be the Xuanguang River estuary, from the Xuanguang River estuary along the Red River upstream; The partial division led by Fengcheng Hou Li Bin and others should have followed the path in the upper reaches of the Qingjiang River to the Red River.

The two sides defeated the Annan army stationed in this place by flanking the two flanks, and then the whole army of the Western Route Army crossed the river to the south bank of the Red River.

Zhu Neng's face was a little strange: "In short, the Western Route Army has not encountered any obstacles. ”

Jiang Xinghuo asked: "Then according to Chengguogong's opinion, what does it mean that the Annan Army let the Western Route Army in?" ”

In fact, he already had a vague guess in his heart, but it didn't hurt to discuss and confirm military matters with Zhu Neng.

"Defend the Fuliang River."

Zhu Neng was saved by Jiang Xinghuo, and his attitude was naturally different from the day before yesterday, and at this time he said happily: "The national teacher might as well flip down, there should be a report." ”

Jiang Xinghuo did as he said, and really turned out another copy, which was a military report jointly submitted to the imperial court by the Eastern and Western Route Army.

"The thieves relied on the pseudo-eastern capital and Xuanjiang, Taojiang, Huijiang, and Fuliangjiang to be solid. It is from the umbrella round mountain on the south bank of the river in Sanjiang Prefecture, along the south bank of the Fuliang River to the east to the Ningjiang River, and on the north bank of the Fuliang River, along the Haichao River, Xijiang River, Malao River, to Pantan Sleepy Mountain, and the edge of the river tree gate. ”

"The multi-state pass has increased the construction of earth cities, the scale is huge, and the city fence is connected for more than 100 miles, and the thieves have sent hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangbei Prefectures to supply and transport, and drive old and young women to fill in the earth and stones."

"The thieves are also on the south bank of the Fuliang River, and the water village is placed on the edge of the river, and all the ships and ships in the country are lined up in the water village, and the rivers and estuaries are defended to prevent attacks, and the east of the thieves is also strictly guarded, and the thieves are like a formation in the city fence, and the thieves are seven million on land and water."

Seven million, it's funny, the total population of Annan is not seven million.

However, there is no doubt that Annan will defend all the main forces, that is, nearly 200,000 soldiers and auxiliaries, as well as hundreds of thousands of people, along the Fuliang River.

It is clear from the military newspaper that the Annamite people have made sufficient preparations, and the defense line of the Phu Ra River is centered on the city of Lang Son Dopang, and then the three rivers are thrown out like the claws of three squid, and there are defenses everywhere along the way.

At the same time, the Annamites not only blocked the access to the sea, but also built a huge water wall south of the city of Duobang, concentrating all the warships together, thus forming an absolute superiority on the water.

The Fuliang River is not a small river, the width of the water surface and the speed of the water flow are quite amazing, the estuary is blocked, the Ming sailors can not trace the river, and the Ming Dynasty does not have the right to control the water, what do the 200,000 troops take to cross the river?

He pointed to the box in Jiang Xinghuo's hand and the military newspaper he had just selected.

"Storming the front line of the Fuliang River will inevitably suffer huge losses, if it is only a loss of troops, the Ming Dynasty can still afford it, but what I am afraid of is that it will not be delayed if it drags on."

"Yes, the conquest of Annan cannot be delayed."

Jiang Xinghuo also said inexplicably.

The production capacity of the Jiangnan factory area is about to explode, if you can't quickly take Annan and dump the goods in exchange for funds, it is undoubtedly a lot of pressure on the money advanced by the household, and this foreign war mode of alternating military and economic cycles is also a new attempt, Jiang Xinghuo used the reputation he has accumulated as a guarantee to persuade Zhu Di, at this time it is necessary to see results.

As for Zhu Di, he has only a lot more troubles, and he also doesn't want the expedition to Annan to be delayed.

After all, the threat of Timur's crusade was always there, like a sharp knife hanging over the head, not knowing when it would fall.

The two of them flipped through the military newspapers, the military newspapers of Zhang Fu and Liu Sheng, and gave a detailed introduction to the role of new weapons and tactics after experiencing the first actual battle.

"I see what Your Majesty means."

After reading the military report, Zhu Neng took the initiative to say: "The matter of the military reform of the Beijing camp and the transfer of the navy from the naval division, I will mention it in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies." ”

"That's the best."

Jiang Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief, this person was really not saved in vain, now Qiu Fu is in charge of the military academy, and Li Jinglong is in the south, Xu Huizu is in the north, Zhu Neng is the speaker of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, with Zhu Neng's commitment, the firearms reform of the Ming army, as well as the vigorous development of the navy for overseas trade and colonization, will be settled.

In Zhu Di's eyes, the so-called rich country and strong army, rich country is to develop business and increase treasury revenue; Strengthening the army is to make the Ming army's combat effectiveness higher and more capable of fighting, and Jiang Xinghuo is undoubtedly helping him do these two things now.

But from Jiang Xinghuo's point of view, this is not the case.

A rich country is not an end, but a means, and the real purpose is to give birth to a new class and promote the development of history; The same is true of the strong army, and the new weapon technology is only a means, the purpose is to promote the further practicability of science through these technologies, and to get the support of the imperial court, especially the Ming military.

After all, the first industrial revolution also has a name, called the "steam revolution".

The steam engine, on the other hand, would be too slow to be used for pumping water in the mining area and in the textile industry.

But the problem is that Jiang Xinghuo's change is to consider the specific situation of the Ming Dynasty, not blindly copying it, and the "specific situation" of the Ming Dynasty is that the labor force is relatively cheap, and the mine owners would rather use people to carry water bucket by bucket than buy a machine to pump water, because the mine owners feel that manpower is not valuable.

However, the military is not the case, if the military can achieve rapid troop transportation, whether it is land or sea, the military will not hesitate to spend money, and with the use of military technology, the follow-up civilian is a logical thing.

In other words, Jiang Xinghuo's plan to carry out the first industrial revolution in Daming is actually a bit like the third industrial revolution in his previous life, where technology is first used in the military.

"The Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and the Military Bureau of the Inner Court should be merged to form a larger-scale professional arsenal."

After Jiang Xinghuo and Zhu Nengfu discussed a few more matters related to the military, they were a little silent.

They knew exactly what each other's silence was for.

Although they didn't mention it, almost all the insiders were nervously worried about the unprecedented landing operation.

The operation in the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was called the code name "Scratching Chu".

Just as Peng Yue, a famous general of Chu and Han, had been leading his troops to fight in the land of Liang and Chu during the decisive battle between the two sides, often attacking the rear of the Chu State, forcing Xiang Yu to return to the rescue twice, and then allowing Liu Bang to begin to turn around in the frontal battlefield, the landing operation personally commanded by Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, was also destined to bring about fundamental changes in the battle situation on the front line of the Fuliang River.

It's a real.

——————

"Something is wrong with the Ming army."

In the water village on the south bank of the Fuliang River, Hu Yuancheng, the king of Annan and the prime minister of Zuo, was pacing anxiously.

As the de facto supreme commander of the Annan Army, Hu Yuancheng was an extremely intelligent and talented man. This is nonsense, if the historical line of this guy has not changed, he will be able to surrender the Ming Dynasty from a petty official to a secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he will have a ghost if he is not smart and talented.

And even if you don't talk about this, just the fact that you can dispatch 200,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of people in an orderly manner and calmly arrange the entire defense line is enough to see what kind of level Hu Yuancheng is.

And it was this kind of intelligence and talent that was extremely prominent among the people of Annam, that made Hu Yuancheng aware of the strangeness of the Ming army in front of him.

The Ming army was too quiet.

After the three passes of the Annan Army were broken, Wu Shixun was captured, and Hu Lie fled back in embarrassment, the command system of the Annan Army before Fuliangjiang had completely collapsed, and the outpost battle was basically settled.

But the next reaction of the Ming army was a little wrong.

Zhang Fu changed his previous fierce pursuit, and when he occupied Jiling Pass, he quickly took control of the surrounding area, and then cautiously approached the line of the Fuliang River at an extremely slow, slow speed as if a turtle was crawling.

The plains to the north of the Fuliang River are slightly simpler than the Jiling Pass, where there are several paths formed by natural canyons, and there are many hills on both sides of the paths.

Now, the purpose of the Ming army is to make a detour from the sea, go around to the coastline on the east side of Annam, and then attack the Annam army from behind, and attack the Fuliang River defense line from front and back.

And just as Cao Wei put Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the capital of Xu and ran Yecheng himself, the target of the Ming army's "scratching Chu" action was the "Yecheng" of Annan, that is, the old nest of the Hu father and son, the western capital of Qinghua.

In addition to military and geographical factors, there is another important reason why the Annam Army is so persistently holding the defense line of the Furang River, that is, behind the Furang River is the eastern capital of Shenglong, that is, the traditional political center of Annam.

The Hu father and son, who had just usurped the throne, had to stick here, because once they lost Thang Long Mansion, then they would basically lose the legal rationality in the hearts of the Annan people.

The strategic intention of the Ming army, or the appetite, was obviously greater, that is, Mu Sheng's Western Route Army and Zhang Fu's Eastern Route Army contained the main force of the Annan Army on the north bank of the Fuliang River, one east and one west, and the landing force under the personal command of Li Jinglong seized Thanh Hoa, and then went north, forming a huge encirclement to seize all the main forces of the Annan people and the national capital at the same time.

Yes, children only make choices, and Li Jinglong chooses them all.

In this way, as long as an operation of unprecedented scale can be successful, the issue of Annan can be completely and completely solved in one fell swoop, both militarily and politically, and there will be no subsequent dispersal of the main force of the Annan army, which will lead to the need to fight a non-stop war to clear and suppress public order, and there will be no situation in which the Hu father and son escape.

So is there a price to be paid for "all to be"?

Of course, there is, that is, the Ming army north of the Fuliang River is actually in a state of inadequacy at present.

This deficiency includes the shortage of troops, because Li Jinglong took away the soldiers and horses of the Fujian Metropolitan Division and some of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division; It also includes the shortage of materials such as ship vehicles, and even the inability to deliver food supplies on a large scale in a short period of time due to the diversion of transportation capacity.

It was precisely for these reasons that Zhang Fu of the Eastern Route Army chose to advance slowly, waiting for the food supplies in the rear to arrive, and arriving at the battlefield at the same time as Mu Sheng of the Western Route Army.

Zhang Fu's choice was not the slightest mistake, but the sudden turn of the Ming army's war rhythm made Hu Yuancheng keenly aware of the abnormality.

At this moment, a cronie suddenly came to report: "Lord, our secret agent who came back from the Ming Kingdom asked for a meeting, and it is said that he has found important military information about the Ming Kingdom. ”

"Oh?" Hu Yuancheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

He hurriedly commanded, "Call him in!" ”

After a while, a spy dressed in the costume of an ordinary Annan common man entered the room and bowed respectfully: "See King Wei!" ”

"Excuse me, sit down." Hu Yuancheng said.

After the spy sat down, Hu Yuancheng couldn't wait to ask: "Whose subordinate are you?" How was the intelligence found? And to put it more carefully, if it is really important information, this king will definitely reward you! ”

The secret agent said: "Back to King Wei, he is a subordinate of Lord Li, and this time he is specially lurking in Jiangbei and is responsible for delivering the military secrets of the Ming Kingdom. ”

Hearing that it was not directly infiltrated, Hu Yuancheng was stunned, but immediately reacted, but he was concerned and confused.

The Hu father and son usurped the country, of course, they did not engage in spy methods, and according to the normal process, these spies who were sent out as elephant workers to investigate intelligence would definitely not be able to run back directly, but they went south with the Ming army, and then looked for an opportunity to pass the information to the local connector, and the connector secretly crossed the river to transmit the information back, and the person in front of him was the middleman.

This practice is also the practice of Annan's secret agents.

After thinking for a while, Hu Yuancheng asked, "Have you ever known the movements of the main force of the Ming army?" ”

"The information coming from the Ming army camp is that the Ming army is cutting down trees on a large scale and building rafts in preparation for crossing the river."

In addition, the Ming army's Western Route Army has been dormant near Wugu Mountain for many days, and yesterday evening, the Ming army was moving to the beach west of the mountain. Obviously, the Ming army intended to cross the river separately from the eastern and western route armies, and then fight with our army. ”

Hearing this information, Hu Yuancheng was silent.

In his opinion, the movements of the Ming army became more and more paradoxical.

If it was planned to cross the river, then why did the Eastern and Western Route Army divide its forces again? Before, the two Ming armies obviously began to converge.

The main force of the Annan army is gathered together, and the Ming army can only launch a decisive battle when they are combined, and if the forces are separated, it is easy to be broken by the Annan army.

There are so many experienced generals in the Ming army, and they won't even understand this truth.

"I can't say it, could it be that there is something discordant within the Ming army?"

Hu Yuancheng had an idea in his heart, but he was immediately thrown out, there may be disagreements within the Ming army, but it will never be manifested as dividing troops at such a critical moment, which is a taboo for soldiers.

"Okay, you can step back and rest."

Subsequently, Hu Yuancheng summoned the generals of Annan and told them about the situation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?"

Hu Lie, who was sentenced to meritorious service, said in a voice at this time: "His Royal Highness King Wei, the last general thinks that this should be a bait. ”

"Bait?"

Hu Yuancheng was a little surprised: "The main force of the Ming army is on the opposite side, why do you want to design a bait?" ”

"Zhang Fu is cunning, it can be seen from his way of overcoming the three passes, when it is difficult to succeed in the face of a strong attack, he will definitely deceive, pretend to separate the Western Route Army, lure our army to eat the Western Route Army of the Ming Army, and then outflank us in turn, it should be his idea."

"Hu Lie, you're afraid that you've been scared."

Another general of the Annan Army felt that Hu Lie was talking nonsense completely, and he analyzed: "The last general feels that the Ming army may be a little difficult to sustain when gathering together for food, after all, transporting grain from the north, and passing the Jiling Pass, you have to take the mountain road, these roads are not easy to walk, and our army has long anticipated the need to stick to the Fuliang River, and has taken precautions in advance, therefore, the people in the villages around the north of the river have long been evacuated, so even if the Ming army digs three feet into the ground, it may not be able to get too much food for supplies, and the Ming army is full of 200,000 people, It is certain that the troops will be divided close to different supply lines to eat, this division of troops is only temporary, and when the logistics of the Ming army are hoarded, they will reunite their troops. ”

Hu Yuancheng felt that this was reasonable, and it should be the most likely situation, after all, Annan had already prepared, and the south of the Fuliang River was a plain, and it was also the anointing place and essence of Annan, and it was rich in manpower and material resources, and it had already been prepared for storage, so it was possible to gather hundreds of thousands of people together without worrying about starvation, but the Ming army came from afar, and the supply line had not yet been established, so it was indeed possible to divide the troops and eat.

But Hu Yuancheng still felt unsteady in his heart.

There's no why, it's just feeling.

At this moment, Hu Yuancheng suddenly asked, "Where are Pan Maxiu's troops?" ”

Pan Maxiu led his troops to the south to occupy the city, and I heard that it was going well, but later encountered the obstacles of the landing of the Ming army's ocean-going naval division, which led to the forced to leave a part of the troops to retreat to Hengshan Pass, and then the main force returned north to support the frontal battlefield.

Wait a minute!

Hu Yuancheng's mind suddenly seemed to explode like a lightning bolt.

Ocean-going sailors, landings, frontal battlefields.

He finally knew where his strange feelings were pointing.

"Where are Pan Maxiu's troops!! Hu Yuancheng asked like crazy, countless goosebumps swelled up on the skin on the surface of his body, and his nerves seemed to start trembling.

"It should be almost at Thang Long Mansion." The generals under him didn't know what was wrong with King Wei, so they could only answer carefully.

Hu Yuancheng's eyes were fixed on Kanyutu.

The land area of Annam is not vast, between the western capital of Thanh Hoa and the eastern capital of Thang Long, in fact, the distance is not far, if the Ming army is willing, it can be replicated in the successful case of the Champa state.

Since the Ming army's ocean-going sailors were able to transport thousands of men ashore from Tuoca (Da Nang) and then arrive at the royal capital Indra Buluo, what reason was there to say that the Ming army was not capable of replicating a landing operation in the same way?

It's just that Tuo Chan has been replaced by Thanh Hoa Mansion, and Indra Bura has been replaced by Thang Long Mansion, so what is the essential difference?

Once the Ming army successfully landed from the flank, the so-called natural danger of the Fuliang River became a complete joke, and the Ming army could completely bypass the heavily guarded Fuliang River, go straight to the Shenglong Mansion south of the Fuliang River, and then attack Zhennan Mansion, Jianchang Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion and other places.

In this way, the Ming army could easily occupy the entire core area of Annam.

"Now, immediately, immediately, take my warrant, send cavalry to Thang Long Mansion, go to various provinces along the way, find the traces of Pan Maxiu, let him put down all the things at hand, turn around and return to the western capital Thanh Hoa Mansion to garrison!"

——————

In Thanh Hoa Province, the western capital of Annam, on a foggy morning, the sailors of the Annam Navy Division stationed at the port were sleepily facing the sea.

"Ha~"

The sailor yawned across his waist, and when the fog cleared, he froze in place, unaware of the urine on his feet.

A huge fleet appeared on the surface of the sea.

The ship was dozens of feet long, each ship looked as tall as a three-story restaurant, the flag of the Ming army was hung at the top of the mast, and the ships were flanked by towering gun emplacements, and the muzzles of the black hole were already aimed at the sailors and crew on the port dock.

The sailor swallowed, his legs went limp, and he almost fell on the deck, and the brother who was shushing next to him closed his eyes and grabbed him: "Hey, what's wrong with you." ”

The sailor could not say anything, he pointed to the huge ships with trembling hands: "This, what are these?" ”

"Hell yes!"

The brother next to him opened his eyes, and he was suddenly stupid, looking at those arrogant big guys, he swallowed his saliva: "Hurry up, tell the commander the news."

"Tell a fart! It's not like they don't have eyes, run! ”

Da Ming's fleet slowly approached the port.

"Enemy attack—"

The harbor lookout shouted with all his might.

Immediately afterward, a shrill whistle sounded from the watchtower.

As the whistle sounded, the whole port boiled.

"Enemy attack, flee!"

People shouted in panic, and the sailors in the cabins rushed out.

"Ah, it's the Ming Army, what do they want to do?"

"Help, let's go"

"Run."

There was chaos in the harbor.

The sudden appearance of the fleet frightened the Annamite people, and they rushed to shout, and some even forgot to put on their clothes.

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly the cannon sounded!

Amazing shells fell from the sky, smashing the soldiers who were rushing in a hurry, blood splattered, and the terrible howl suddenly spread throughout most of the port.

"Kill! Kill! ”

A young military attache stood on the deck of a medium-sized sailing ship with his sword in his hand, his face full of excitement and excitement, and shouted towards the harbor: "Brothers, kill me!" ”

This person is not a bystander, it is Zhu Youjiao, the king of Runan County, who is responsible for playing the striker.

"Kill!"

"Kill——!!"

One by one, the sailboats cut through the morning haze, revealing a hideous appearance.

They came from the other side of the harbour, and when they were still some distance from the port, they dropped anchor and stopped, and then they lowered the boat from the sailboat, and out crawled out groups of figures, armed with firearms and blades, screaming and rushing towards the harbor.

The Annam soldiers guarding the harbor were blinded by this sudden turn of events, and when they reacted and tried to organize a counterattack or seek evasion, they found that they were already crowded with people.

After all, the port is not so clearly divided, the sailors of the Annan army are using it, and the people are also using it, so at this time, the sailors and the people were chaotic at first, and the army wanted to resist, but it was also powerless.

It was a little more before the Annam soldiers, under the command of the officers, barely organized a defense, trying to resist the attack of the Ming army.

With this level of defense, it is obvious that it is not taken into account by the Ming army.

Just as the defenders of Annam were about to disperse the crowd forward, a cannonball quickly pierced through the haze and slammed into one of the soldiers at the front of the line.

"Poof!"

The spark burst, a blood flower bloomed, and the unlucky guy howled miserably, and his head was instantly blown to pieces, and the blood mixed with the white bones spilled on the dock, and the strong smell of blood spread.

"Boom!"

Another shell burst into the crowd, killing three soldiers in quick succession, and the rest were so frightened that they scrambled to flee out of the docks, forgetting to bring their weapons with them, and many of them simply threw them on the ground.

A few copper coins a month, what kind of life do you fight for the Hu family and his son? A few shouts in the battle are worth the salary.

"Bang bang bang!"

The guns rang incessantly, and the dense bullets pierced through the air, weaving into a web of death in the air.

"Ahh Screams rang out one after another.

Life began to fall, and cannonballs continued to fall from mid-air, splashing on the ground, and every now and then an unlucky egg stained a piece of bluestone slabs.

The port defense of Annam, which lasted only half a stick of incense, declared the collapse of the entire front.

In addition to the soldiers, the sailors also pushed and trampled on each other in panic, and many of them even crashed into the boat, fell into the sea, and finally sank to the bottom, or floated to the surface of the sea, and were swept away by the sea.

For a time, the port was full of mourning.

And the people who were caught up, they also know very well that there is only one last way left, that is, to surrender to the Ming army, otherwise, there will only be a dead end.

"I surrender!"

The soldier threw away his weapon and knelt on his knees and begged for mercy: "Spare my life!" ”

"Don't, don't!"

Terrible cries and begs for mercy resounded throughout the port.

A soldier of the Ming Army, like a wolf and a tiger, fiercely captured the captive.

Their movements are very skillful, as if they have been training for a long time, and every movement is just right.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

A Ming military captain stood next to the side of the ship and shouted: "Drag these corpses and weapons out, don't get in the way." ”

"Yes!"

Carrying wooden boxes and sacks, several soldiers walked towards Annan's captives, who unceremoniously stripped them of their armor, shields, and swords, and then issued them hemp ropes to tie themselves in strings.

Soon, these very conscious Annam soldiers tied themselves up in the open space of the dock, and spontaneously lined up in many rows, as if surrounded by an invisible cage.

A military general in red gold armor stepped down from the flagship in a small boat and came to the captured prisoners, and when he saw them, a grim smile appeared on the general's face.

The general raised his hand to signal everyone to silence, then pulled out his long knife, danced a flower in the air, and then slashed it down.

"Whew."

There was no blood flying, only the hemp rope breaking.

Li Jinglong instructed Pei Wenli, editor and reporter of Ming Pao, who was with the army: "The subtitle reads: As soon as the Great Tomorrow Army arrived, the thief army at Thanh Hoa Port descended in the wind, and they all shouted and thanked Your Majesty for the grace of heaven. ”

Pei Wenli understood and wrote on paper.

"Cao Guogong Li Jinglong released the captives and the captives expressed their unwillingness to disarm and return to the field, and they were willing to fight against the Hu rebels for the advance of the army, and the kindness of the Ming Dynasty will not be finished for a lifetime."

(End of chapter)
