Chapter 561: Marching into Annam
"Moreover, even if they attack Thang Long City, it will be much easier for them to attack from the sea than to march directly from land!"
Mu Sheng glanced at his master and said slowly: "They should know!" ”
"What about this ......"
Master's eyes widened.
"That's it!"
Mu Sheng sighed helplessly and said, "I'll wait for the whole army to march first, and as for the situation in Shenglong City, I'll write to inform that Cao Guogong!" ”
"That's the only way!"
In this regard, the master was also helpless.
Now, in Yunnan, there is the King Min staring, above the court, and His Majesty staring, although the Mu Mansion has heavy troops, it is also cautious and difficult.
When Mu Sheng's letter was delivered to Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong, Guo An and others have directly led the army, starting from Siming Mansion, they are so upright and upright, and they have attacked Annan without any art of war.
"Ning Yi, is this really possible?"
In the army, Li Jinglong looked surprised.
"I've learned so many art of war since I was a child, but I've never fought like this? Like...... It's like ......"
"Street idlers fighting in groups?"
Guo An smiled faintly and spoke for Li Jinglong.
"Hahaha, Ning Yi also knows?"
Li Jinglong smiled awkwardly.
"Brother Li, don't worry, to deal with these barbarians, the Shenji Battalion doesn't need to do any bells and whistles!"
Guo An looked confident.
"Boom~"
As he spoke, a loud voice sounded not far ahead.
Several large trees clattered to the ground, and strangely enough, no animals sprang out in fright.
Seeing this, Li Jinglong couldn't help but look at Guo An with a complicated expression, "Ning Yi, isn't this a bells and whistles?" ”
Guo An said: "Brother Li, this is the scout of my Shenji Battalion!" ”
Li Jinglong's eyes twitched slightly, "Using artillery as a scout, in the entire Ming Dynasty, only Ning Yi is as wealthy as your Shenji Battalion!" ”
Guo An said: "Brother Li, in this place of Annan, there are too many poisonous gases and poisonous insects, I am afraid that the most elite scouts are also difficult to detect, if we let those Annan people hide in it, I am afraid that if it goes on like this, my army will not be able to reach Thang Long City, and it will be slowly polished away by those Annan people!" ”
Li Jinglong nodded slightly.
Guo An continued: "The most important thing is that we want to let those Annan people know that since our Ming army is here, they want to hide in the depths of these jungles and sneak attack, it is wishful thinking, just waiting for death in vain!" ”
Li Jinglong's eyes also had a cold light, "That's right, these barbarians rely on these places full of poisonous insects, and they are extremely arrogant, and they don't take my Daming in their eyes."
This time, it is just right for them to see the power of my Ming firearms! ”
"Hmm!"
Guo An nodded slightly.
On the side, several partial generals and lieutenants were also full of fierce light.
In particular, the generals in Guangxi and Guangdong are full of excitement.
Next to Annan, these Annan barbarians are not so honest, relying on elephant soldiers, often come to bully the people of the Ming Dynasty, and even rob property and food.
This is, it has only only entered the territory of Annam for a few miles, and is it a waste of artillery to scout like this?
A few generals corrected it, and an artillery bomb flew out into the distance again.
"Boom ......"
"Ah~"
The faces of Li Jinglong, Guo An and the others changed, and all the soldiers and generals in front and behind were suddenly full of vigilance.
A lieutenant ran from the front.
"Qi Cao Guogong, Dinghai Hou, two miles ahead, a team of Annan barbarian scouts were blown up.
According to Hou Ye's instructions, the last general and the others did not go to watch, but just glanced at it with clairvoyance.
The artillery wounded two Annam barbarians, who were lying on the ground and rolling.
The rest of the Annan barbarians fled in fright......"
"According to Master Hou's orders, the last general and the others did not rush forward to pursue!"
As he spoke, a hint of pity flashed in the captain's eyes.
If they did, they would be able to catch up with a few.
"Hmm!"
Guo An nodded slightly, "There is no need to pursue, I will wait for this to push all the way steadily and horizontally, and attack Annanguo, there is no need to pave the way with human lives like this!" ”
"Thank you Lord Hou for your compassion and kindness to the last general and other brothers!"
The lieutenant said with a grateful face.
The surrounding generals from Guangxi and Guangdong, looking at Guo An's expressions, also changed slightly.
In these years, there are not many civil officials who can look at them in the eyes of Qiu Ba, and there are even fewer civilian officials who can cherish them like this!
"Okay, find a few generals who are familiar with these Annan barbarians, drag those two Annan scouts down, and interrogate them!
It would be better if they cooperated, and gave them a way to live.
If you don't cooperate, you can dispose of it at will! ”
After speaking, Guo An remembered something, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Li Jinglong with an apologetic face.
"I don't know what the general thinks the general will arrange like this, but what is missing?"
"Just do what Ning Yi said!"
Li Jinglong laughed and laughed, not minding at all.
He is not such a stingy person, and this expedition to Annan is mainly based on the Shenji Battalion and the 5,000 Lower Battalion.
And these two armies are mainly based on Guo An.
The most important thing is that Zhu Di asked him to be the general of Zhengyi, not to let him play prestige, but to take care of Guo An and the Shenji Battalion.
Even if he didn't mention these, just based on the millions of taels of silver that Guo An earned on his Cao Guogong Mansion every year, or even millions of taels of silver, he would call Guo An a brother.
As the captain bowed and left.
Li Jinglong said again: "This time, Ning Yi can command how he wants. Although we are generals, we don't know how the Shenji Battalion fights, just watch from the sidelines! ”
"The general is humble, this battle still needs to rely on the general!"
Guo An hurriedly said.
Li Jinglong said with a sincere face: "Ning Yi, you and my brothers, don't be so polite, let's just take a look at how the Shenji Battalion fights!" ”
"In that case, then the little brother is welcome!"
Guo An bowed his hand slightly.
Then, he ordered again: "Since the Annan barbarian scouts have arrived here, it proves that the Annan barbarian army is not far away."
All artillery scouts, double the density!
The whole army marches cautiously, beware of the traps set by the Annam barbarians! ”
"Yes, Adjutant General!"
A group of lieutenants received the order.
Forthwith.
The army set off slowly
In a mountain forest not far from the army, there are tens of thousands of war elephants.
On these elephants, there are still human figures.
"General, general, those Ming people are here!"
A few figures ran over in a panic from a distance, reporting to the strong man on the elephant at the head.
"How many?"
"Tens of thousands?"
"Tens of thousands?"
The general's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "How many are there?" ”
"General Hui, those Ming people used explosive firearms to blow up the forest, the villain and others didn't dare to approach, and they were chased by those firearms, and two brothers died before they ran back!"
The scout said with a sad look on his face.
