Chapter 251: Welcome to Master Wang
After capturing the eastern capital of Annam, Thang Long. Zhu Yunxi ordered Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, to lead 20,000 men and horses to clean up the prefectures and counties in the western part of Annan.
Lan Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, led 30,000 horses and horses to seize all parts of the coast. Xiping Hou Muchun...... From north to south, it blooms in full swing!
...... Early in the morning of the eighth day of the first month of May, the main force of the Ming army continued to gather in front of Xianzi Pass. Horses neighed, whistles whistled, drums and trumpets ceaselessly.
Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, led 20,000 men and horses to complete the liquidation of the western part of Annam, and joined from the left flank. Liangguo Gong Lan Yu led 30,000 horses from the right flank into Xianzi Pass.
Xiping Hou Muchun also completed his own clean-up task and led his men to arrive. The army gathered more and more, the sea of people spread all over the land, and the flags were hunting in the morning wind.
The large array is spread in front of Xianzi Pass. The Ming army all looked serious, all wearing red waist-length armor and one-color cloud-winged helmets, looking like fire clouds.
The continuous military array was silent and solemn, and even the Annan soldiers who guarded the city at Xianzi Pass were also intimidated by the Ming army, and they were all silent and under great pressure.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the army with a proud expression. The elite soldiers are easy to use! Zhu Yunxi also wanted to learn from the principal, but everyone didn't have to command, and after receiving the order, the people of each department could complete the task well.
After the generals arrived, they went to the Chinese army to report to Zhu Yunxi. In order to enliven the atmosphere, Hu Yuancheng, the prince of Annan, laughed: "The kings and teachers are gathered, and they will definitely be able to win the flag and go down to Xianzi Pass in a battle." "Accompanied by tens of thousands of Annan men and horses who surrendered, they were still controlled by Hu Yuancheng, serving as cannon fodder, and taking into account the task of persuading surrender.
Minwang Zhu Yang smiled: "You can think about it, but the imperial grandson wants to fight, but the other side doesn't give you a chance!" "Since Thang Long went south, there were no Annan soldiers and horses to stop him along the way.
I remember that when the Northern Song Dynasty attacked Annam, the Song army often encountered ambushes in the hilly areas after paying a heavy price to penetrate into the hinterland of Vietnam.
The logistics support could not keep up, and the Song army was in a dilemma and could not march into the army, so it had to hastily withdraw its troops. However, this time the Ming army ended, Zhu Yunxi came to a full flower, and the Ming army crossed the border like hail, destroying one piece.
When the various departments of Annan heard the news, they saw that King Wei surrendered to the Ming army, and they all had no fighting spirit, so they simply surrendered.
Surrounded by a group of generals, Zhu Yunxi looked at Xianziguan in front of him.
"Lone is here, don't you plan to surrender on the other side?" Hearing this, Hu Yuancheng stepped forward and lowered his head to say something, Zhu Yunxi remained silent, just nodded slightly.
A neighing of horses pierced the empty wilderness. Hu Yuancheng urged the horse to come to the front of the battle, and shouted: "I am Hu Yuancheng, the king of the guard, who is the general guarding the pass, hurry out of the pass to greet you!" "The prince of the door appeared on the stage to perform, and he was familiar with the road.
The guard Ruan Ziming lay on the battlements and took a cautious look, and after seeing the appearance clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Switch, welcome King Wei!"
"General, King Wei has already surrendered to the enemy, and he can't switch it on!" The guard general glanced at the mouthy lieutenant general and sneered: "How can I not know? ”
"Are you going to surrender?" Someone asked. Surrender is extremely humiliating for military personnel, and many people cannot accept it.
Watching the sea of people moving below, the Xianzi guard Ruan Ziming had a heavy heart. The Ming army was strong, and broke through three important defense lines of Duobang, Fuliangjiang, and Thang Long.
This time, more than 100,000 troops were dispatched, how could it be possible to hold on to the defenders of Xianzi Pass? Besides, even the Great Prince Wei Wang surrendered.
Looking at the subordinates around him, the Xianzi guard said solemnly: "We are here to welcome King Wei, but we were captured by the Ming army by the way....... "Being captured sounds much better than surrendering."
Difference Between Passive and Proactive. After a short mental struggle, without waiting for the guard to give the order, the Xianzi Pass has been opened.
There are too many Annan people who know each other! Then the guard general Ruan Ziming, the people had already run down the city pass, and they slid all the way to Hu Yuancheng.
Hu Yuancheng was overjoyed, and took Ruan Ziming to Zhu Yunxi to ask for merit as soon as possible. Xianzi Pass, the first pass of Annam, surrendered without a fight.
Zhu Yunxi was bored. The army has already put on a posture to break the level, you don't want to do it? What a disappointment. Zhu Yunxi reprimanded Ruan Ziming twice, which made the general tremble and be confused for a while.
The heart said that this grandson of the Ming Emperor is really an extraordinary person! Fortunately, Thanh Hoa is not far from Xianzi Pass. In order to keep the Ming army fighting spirit, Zhu Yunxi ordered to enter the customs and take the capital of Annam Qinghua!
The officer of the Chinese military camp shouted: "Blow the trumpet! ”
"Woo woo, woo woo!" The horns of the Chinese army sounded in unison, and a blood-pumping atmosphere rippled.
The whole army looked at the position of the Chinese army and stirred slightly. The Chinese battalion officer shouted again: "Drumming! ”
"Boom!" The big drum in the drum car sounded, and the thick drum sound immediately spread throughout the four fields, shocking people's hearts.
"Boom!"
"Knock knock!" When the drums sound three times, from the front army to the middle army, from the left army to the right army, the whole army drum music should be in unison.
Zhu Yunxi instigated the horses and came out first. Then more than 100,000 troops marched densely to the sound of passionate drums.
The army covered the sky and the sun, and the sea of people was like a tide, and the earth trembled. Looking at the grand occasion of thousands of troops marching together, the guard of Xianzi Guan weakened his legs, and leaned against the corner of the wall with a pale face.
Fortunately, I was cowardly enough to save the life of a dog, and I am grateful to King Wei...... In the passionate marching drum music, Hu Yuancheng rode his horse and raised his head.
Back in Thanh Hoa, he is no longer the original prince of Annam and the commander of the three armies. Beside him, is the Min King Zhu Yang, he is active by nature, always likes to look left and right when marching, and will always personally lead people to escort the enemy to pursue.
In a blink of an eye, Zhu Yang found Hu Yuancheng who was in an abnormal state. The guy has a strange complexion, sometimes hideous, sometimes excited, like sleepwalking, and sometimes laughs out loud.
From time to time, he gritted his teeth and cursed something.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Yang said curiously. Since Hu Yuancheng was captured, not only has he not been abused, but he has been highly regarded by the emperor's grandson.
This kid also competed, recruited a lot of Annan troops and officials along the way, and also pulled up a logistics line.
So Hu Yuancheng was fortunate to be able to follow the imperial grandson. According to everyone's speculation, if the Ming Dynasty set up another pro-Ming king in Annam, Hu Yuancheng is likely to be made the new king.
However, in the end, how to deal with Annan, everyone did not know, it was a matter for the emperor and the imperial court. Hearing the inquiry, Hu Yuancheng nodded respectfully to Zhu Yang and regained his demeanor.
Zhu Yang thought thoughtfully, thinking that this guy might be about to see his family, hating and loving. The eldest son who fought for the country, but he was not favored but let his younger brother get the throne, who can be comfortable?
…… Finally, the mighty Ming army arrived in the western capital of Thanh Hoa. Zhu Yunxi looked at the listless banner of the Annan royal family at the head of the city.
He originally guessed that during the march of the army, the Hu family father and son would send some people to intercept them from the side. I didn't expect that a soldier was useless.
Is it to give up resistance? Or did you abandon the city and flee? In any case, let's take Thanh Hoa first! Among the thousands of troops, Zhu Yunxi's face sank like water, and he ran all the way through the military formation with the reins, followed by a group of guards behind him.
After observing the city, the group returned to their own army. The enemy seems to have little defense...... Zhu Yunxi's elegant face was full of seriousness, and he ordered: "Xiping Hou, you are responsible for leading the main attack!" Mu Chun came out and hugged his fists: "Yes!" "After that, go and prepare for the siege of the city.
"Duke Liang Guo, you lead the cavalry to plan the two wings to prevent the enemy from raiding." Lan Yu received the order and roared loudly: "Rest assured, no monkey can threaten the Chinese army from under the nose of the minister!" He shook his cloak and let it flutter high with the wind.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Feng Sheng: "Song Guogong, your men and horses are responsible for covering the baggage and protecting the logistics grain and grass." Feng Sheng said solemnly: "The imperial grandson, please be relieved, the ministers will ensure that the rear is safe!" "Overkill, Zhu Yunxi is naturally relieved of Feng Sheng.
It's not that he deliberately suppresses anyone, in the last battle, he wants all the people in all departments to get some credit. Especially Mu Chun, his Marquis of Xiping should be promoted to a level, so he served as the main attacker.
Like Lan Yu and Feng Sheng, they are all national princes, how can they be rewarded if they have great merit? In the end, Zhu Yunxi said loudly to Feng Cheng, the commander of the Shenji Battalion: "Feng Cheng, pull up all the artillery of the Shenji Battalion and bombard Lonely!" "The artillery fire of the Shenji Battalion is sharp, how can you not let go of the last battle?
Just as the troops were preparing to forcibly attack the city, suddenly the Annam military flag on the head of Thanh Hoa City fell. He was thrown down with all his might.
There were a few people standing at the head of the city, unfurled in the wind, and turned into the military flag of the Ming Dynasty. Suddenly, it was Jinyiwei.
"Damn, the credit has been robbed again!" Mu Chun scolded his mother on the spot.
