Chapter 318: Hu Jichen personally led the army and attacked Li Jin at night!
The three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Hu Jichen continued to boost morale during these three days, waiting for the third day to cross the river to attack the Ming army, and Annan was ashamed.
In the Annam military camp at this time.
In the past three days, the sound of a loud horn has been endless, and Hu Jichen has taken out all his old foundations in order to ensure that the raid can be successful in three days.
He took out more than 400,000 taels of silver from the treasury to reward these soldiers, so as to boost the morale of Annan's army to the maximum.
Not only that, Hu Jichen has even personally participated in training in the past few days, and with an attitude of sharing weal and woe, life and death with Annan's soldiers, he has gained a large wave of military hearts.
The deafening shouts drifted from the south bank of the river to the north bank, but there was no movement on the north bank, as if all the 100,000 Ming troops had disappeared without a trace.
This made Hu Jichen feel even more at ease, because in his opinion, the 100,000 troops of the Ming army at the moment may have been overwhelmed by the plague, and they were just short of their own fatal blow.
"Kill! Kill!! ”
The 150,000 troops of Annan were all assembled in three days, and as far as the eye could see, the black pressure was overwhelming, and the momentum was quite spectacular.
Chen Zheping, Hu Jichen and others were already standing on the high place of Dianjiangtai, overlooking the most elite soldiers of Annan.
Hu Jichen said proudly to Chen Zheping beside him:
"Your Majesty, look at this group of soldiers, in this battle, they will become the most powerful army in the history of Annan."
"I will personally lead them to annihilate those Ming troops in one fell swoop, and this will be the most meaningful battle in the history of our Annan Kingdom!"
"And these soldiers will also understand that the Ming army is actually not afraid at all, and they will also be the most heroic soldiers of our Annan!"
Chen Zheping looked at Hu Jichen's confident appearance, and for a while, his heart was quite mixed.
At this moment, Hu Jichen's voice sounded in his ears again:
"Soldiers—"
"The Ming army has now been infected with the plague, this prime minister will lead you to exterminate them all, now they are just a flock of sheep, let us slaughter, our army will win this battle!!"
As soon as Hu Jichen's words fell, the Annan army rose up and said loudly:
"Victory! Win! Win!! ”
The shouts of the 150,000-strong army instantly resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Seeing this, Hu Jichen was even more satisfied with the smile on his face, he had decided to personally lead the army north, and this battle must be won steadily.
Late at night on the third day, after careful planning, Hu Jichen decided to cross the river at night, and suddenly launched an attack in the early morning, taking the Ming army by surprise and completely burying 100,000 Ming troops.
The sky was dark and oppressive, as if a thin layer of dark black quilt had been draped over the earth, and several stars could be counted with the naked eye hanging in the sky, adding a few more embellishments to this piece of heaven and earth.
The river is rushing and roaring, and the waves are crashing on both sides of the river, and the water is turbulent and surging, which is thrilling.
Hu Jichen stood by the river, looking at the scene in the river in front of him with a glimmer of light, first frowning slightly and then loosely frowning.
The lieutenant general who followed him also looked at the water potential in the river, and couldn't help frowning slightly:
"Prime Minister, the water in this river is so fast, and now the slightest carelessness may bring people down, do you see this...?"
Hu Jichen's face had become dark and deep at this time, but the words that came out of his mouth were ruthless:
"In any case, we must cross the Shiqiu River tonight and launch an attack on time tomorrow morning."
"Even if there are some casualties, it is all worth it in order to protect the family and defend the country."
Hu Jichen's face was extremely indifferent, and in his opinion, the deaths and injuries of the soldiers were just a string of numbers, which were meaningless at all.
What he needs is a big victory, a big victory that can completely annihilate the 100,000 army of the Ming Dynasty, and this big victory under his command will definitely push his prestige to the peak.
At that time, the monarch who has been in the way can kick him away and replace him!
When the adjutant general heard this, he was shocked, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he hurriedly turned around and gave the order.
...
In the early hours of the morning, Hu Jichen finally led all the troops across the Shiqiu River, and quietly touched the vicinity of the Ming army's camp.
This process can be said to be extremely smooth, although the water of the Shiqiu River is turbulent, but because the Ming army did not have any defense, coupled with the help of the Annan Naval Division, Hu Jichen was not paid much casualties, and crossed the river.
What's more, this process was not discovered by the Ming army at all, and Hu Jichen believed that God helped me.
Especially when he saw the Ming army camp, quietly, the torches were lit up normally, and there were still some figures on the camp, which made Hu Jichen feel at ease.
After carefully observing the Ming army camp, he confirmed that the Ming army had no defense, and Hu Jichen dispelled all the last doubts.
Seeing that the time passed minute by minute, after all the troops had crossed the Shiqiu River and arrived at the designated attack location, Hu Jichen finally issued an order for the whole army to assault.
As a firework rose into the air, the 150,000 Annan army frantically flocked to the Daming camp like a tide.
When Hu Jichen saw this phenomenon, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, because he knew that the Ming army was finished, and no one could survive this offensive.
However, just when Hu Jichen was waiting for the crying father and mother who were killed by the Ming army and fled in all directions, there were earth-shattering changes on the battlefield.
