Chapter 319: The Great War of Annam!
Seeing the silence in the Ming military camp ahead, without the slightest movement, Hu Jichen was simply pleasantly surprised.
"Haha..."
Hu Jichen couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter.
Seeing this, the lieutenant general who was accompanying him couldn't help but ask:
"Prime Minister, why are you so happy?"
Hu Jichen stopped laughing, raised his hand and pointed to the Ming military camp in front of him, and said:
"You see, the Ming military camp is silent at this time, presumably those Ming soldiers have been tortured by the disease, and now a few days have passed, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a long time, haha..."
Saying this, Hu Jichen laughed again with a string of arrogant smiles.
When the deputy general heard this, he suddenly realized, and then said happily:
"If this is the case, then our attack will definitely win!"
Speaking of which, I didn't forget to pat myself on the back and compliment:
"Congratulations to the Prime Minister, you will personally lead the troops, it can be said that the time and place are favorable!"
"So, I wonder when we're going to attack?"
Hu Jichen thought that this was because the Ming army did not make any precautions in advance, and after being overjoyed, he felt that this battle would be won, and did not stop, Hu Jichen even ordered:
"Take advantage of the present moment and attack with all your might!"
The Annan army obeyed the order, and the sky was already slightly bright at this time, and with these bright lights, the Annan army quickly launched an attack on the Ming military camp.
Looking at the grand scene in front of him, the joy on Hu Jichen's face became bigger and bigger, and his eyes even had a look of victory in his eyes.
Just as the army of Annam was rushing forward like a tide, the situation changed abruptly.
I saw that the Ming army camp, which was originally silent, suddenly made a loud noise after the Annan army rushed in, and then the sound of a tsunami sounded around the camp.
"There is an ambush!! There is an ambush, we are all in the scheme!! ”
What Hu Jichen didn't expect was that the Ming army had already set up an ambush waiting for him.
I saw that on both sides of the road towards the Ming military camp, a large number of arrows appeared in an instant, and those arrows shot straight at the face of the Annan army like locusts crossing the border.
However, in an instant, before reacting, the sound of Annan's army screaming endlessly, and a large number of soldiers were killed by arrows and fell to the ground.
"Watch out for the ambush!"
Annan didn't know who in the team suddenly shouted loudly.
All the Annan troops quickly dispersed, and for a while, the Annan army panicked.
Immediately on both sides of the road, countless Ming troops emerged, each with weapons in their hands, and killed the Annan army in the middle of the road.
Seeing this, Hu Jichen in the back was immediately shocked, and was attacked by a sudden ambush, and the Annan army was also extremely frightened, and for a while he was like a leader who had lost the leader, and he hurriedly avoided everywhere.
On the side of the Ming army, Li Jin personally led the troops, and took advantage of the chaos of the Annan army to immediately order to continue the attack.
When Hu Jichen saw Li Jin and the Ming army, the shock on his face just now became extremely calm, and there was even a faint hint of scarlet color in his eyes.
"Prime Minister, I didn't expect this group of Ming troops to have the strength to ambush us!"
The adjutant general looked at the Ming army on the opposite side and said angrily.
Hu Jichen stared at the Ming army opposite, and said:
"What can they do but ambush us, they are currently sick and weak, and they can't beat us."
"But since they dare to come, it would be better to die here!"
After speaking, Hu Jichen shouted at the Annan army:
"Don't panic, these Ming soldiers are all old, weak, sick and disabled people infected with the plague."
"It's just a group of lambs that you slaughtered, take out the morale of your Annan sons, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"
"You will become the most memorable army in the history of Annam!"
Hu Jichen's gaze swept over the faces of Annan's soldiers one by one, and saw that their faces that were still terrified just now gradually became more and more calm after hearing their words.
Hu Jichen couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, now these ambushes are just the carving skills of the Ming army, and taking them down is just a trivial matter for the Annan soldiers.
Thinking of this, Hu Jichen's expression became more and more fearless.
The battle continued, and under the encouragement of Hu Jichen, the morale of the Annan army instantly rose a lot, but even so, in the face of Li Jin and the team led by Fu Youde, after a long time, the Annan army also struggled a lot.
The battle situation became more and more intense, and what Hu Jichen did not expect was that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was so powerful, even if they dragged their sick and weak bodies, the 150,000 troops of Annan did not even take down the Ming army.
Fu Youde held a weapon in his hand, fought bloodily, followed by the equally brave and invincible Ming army, at the moment of facing the Annan army, the Ming army's face was ruthless, and his men were decisive in killing, which made Annan's soldiers tremble in their hearts and couldn't help but retreat.
The adjutant general's armor was stained with a lot of blood, and his right arm was slashed, he moved to Hu Jichen's side with a weapon in his hand, and said in a trembling voice:
"Jae... Prime Minister, this Ming army doesn't look like it's plague, this... We, not necessarily their opponents. ”
Hu Jichen looked at the battle situation, his face no longer had the original arrogance, the more he watched, the more ugly his face became, and after seeing the countless dead and wounded Annan soldiers, his face directly turned into fear.
The adjutant general also looked at the battle situation at this time, and couldn't help shaking his legs and said:
"Prime Minister, it's not as good as us... Shall we retreat first? ”
"If we continue to fight, we probably won't be able to leave!"
At this time, Hu Jichen was already convinced that he was deceived by the little white face of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army was not infected with the plague, they were still as powerful, and the Annan army was not their opponent at all.
"Retreat—"
Hu Jichen gave an order and retreated in a hurry with the remaining Annan army.
Seeing this, Li Jin immediately ordered loudly:
"They want to retreat, chase with all their might, and not let any of them go!"
The Annan army kept retreating, and the Ming army kept chasing forward, and in this way, the Ming army bit the Annan army to the death.
Chased by the back of his ass, Hu Jichen only felt that his little life had gone around in front of Lord Yama's door, and his heart couldn't stop jumping.
"Prime Minister, let's go—"
Hu Jichen was desperately protected by his henchmen all the way, which highlighted the encirclement of the Ming army, but his henchmen, Zhao Daqian, the squire of the military department, was captured by Li Jin.
In this battle, more than half of the 150,000 troops of Annam were lost, and less than 100,000 people remained, and the Ming army won a complete victory.
There are floating corpses everywhere on the Shiqiu River, and the riverside is full of bubbling blood, and even the river water is red, and the scene is very tragic.
Even a few years later, the bones of the Shiqiu River can often be salvaged intermittently, so the people of Annam dare not fish here.
