555 The Ming army launched a general offensive on the seventh route, recovered Xiping, and attacked Lang Son

Li Yimin is the eldest son of Taizong of the Li Dynasty, and was once made the crown prince, and he is very powerful, and there are a large number of followers.

No matter which dynasty the emperor and the crown prince are, there is a high probability that they will be incompatible.

Because he was deposed as the crown prince for no reason, Li Yimin has always been dissatisfied and has long had a conspiracy.

After the great tomorrow threw out the olive branch, Li Yimin was immediately moved. It's like just dozing off and someone brings a pillow.

Li Yimin took stock of himself, and the condition given by the great emperor was to replace Li Jun and have a land within a radius of 100 miles on Qiongzhou Island in Guangdong, and be the same as the Prince of Daming and hereditary. It is also possible to withdraw millions of fortunes from the royal treasury.

After all, it is better than being this tattered king of Langshan.

The most critical point is that Li Jun is still young now, and he can still be safe. If Li Jun becomes an adult, once he takes power, will he be able to tolerate his eldest brother, who used to be the prince?

At that time, it will not be a question of whether to be the king of Langshan, but whether you can survive.

Li Yimin doesn't know the term 'prisoner's dilemma' like Xu Youzhen, but he is really in the prisoner's dilemma.

From the perspective of self-interest, there is no better way than to cooperate with the great tomorrow.

Since you want to start something, then you don't do it, and you don't stop it.

In just one day, the city was cleared, and Li Yimin ordered his soldiers to close the city gate, isolate internal and external news, and wait for the arrival of the Ming army.

On 16 April, Wang Ji's army divided into three routes, along the Xuanjiang, Taojiang, and Tuojiang rivers, and attacked Sanjiang Prefecture in Annam.

Chen Mao and Liang Hao led an army of 30,000 and went down the Xuanjiang River to attack Xuanhua City.

Mu Lan led an army of 30,000 and 20,000 Tusi soldiers from Burma, Mubang, and Mengding, and went down the Tuojiang River to attack Jiaxing City.

Wang Ji and Fang Ying led the main army of 50,000 to go down the Tao River and attack Guihua City.

After taking the three cities of Xuanhua, Guihua and Jiaxing, the three-way army met in Annan Sanjiang Mansion, and then it was the hinterland of Annan, and it was a flat river.

On 18 April, news of the Li Yimin uprising leaked and reached Tokyo. The Empress Dowager Xuanci immediately dispatched 10,000 troops to quell the rebellion.

It was also the last mobile army in Tokyo, the capital city of Annam. If the transfer continues, the Beijing division can only recruit new soldiers to defend the city.

On 20 April, Xu Youzhen had already used 10 days to roughly divide the Liangguang native soldiers into nine battalions.

These Tusi soldiers and grass soldiers have been equipped with armor, knives and guns, firearms, and bows and crossbows.

The people of Liangguang Yao and Zhuang were already brave and warlike, but now they are beheaded at the first level, and they have three taels of silver, and each of them is even more warlike and eager to try.

Xu Youzhen named it Jing'an Army, taking the meaning of Jingyuan Annan.

The Jing'an Army had a total of nine battalions, two of which attacked Langshan Prefecture and Lower Silang Prefecture, and two battalions attacked Qiyuan Prefecture in Langshan Prefecture.

Another battalion crossed Maoshan and attacked Jing'an Prefecture, Xin'an Prefecture, Annam.

Huang Song led a battalion of naval troops, more than 300 warships, and attacked Xin'an Mansion together with more than 500 warships of the Guangdong Naval Division.

Xu Youzhen herself has the experience of successfully changing her name, so she also gave Huang Xiao such a trick.

Huang Xiaoyang's original name was Huang Maosong, and Xu Youzhen suggested that he remove the word "Mao" in the middle, and he was called Huang Song.

In this way, it is convenient to whitewash him in the history books.

Huang Song saw that Xu Youzhen was really planning for his long-term plan, which can be described as a reinvention of grace, and he couldn't help but be grateful.

Therefore, Huang Song held the determination to win and killed the coast of Xin'an Province.

The three most elite battalions of the Jing'an Army were the vanguard, attacking Xiping Prefecture and Luzhou in Langshan Province. Xu Youzhen supervised 80,000 Beijing troops and then followed.

Because Xiping Prefecture and Luzhou were originally the land of the Ming Dynasty, they were later forcibly sent to Annan by the Emperor of the Wise Shenwu Xuanmiao.

Therefore, these two states were dominated by Yao and Zhuang Shaomin, and Annam was not able to establish a stable rule here.

Yang Yimin, the governor of Guangdong, personally led three battalions of the Jing'an army, a total of more than 20,000 people, into Xipingzhou and Luzhou.

The people of these two states are Yao and Zhuang Shaomin, and the native soldiers of the third battalion of Jing'an are also Yao and Zhuang Shaomin.

It is almost the same to eat pot pulp to welcome the king.

As for the small number of Annam officials and garrisons, their heads are really not enough for 20,000 wolf soldiers.

Therefore, the army progressed very smoothly, and the autumn wind swept away the leaves, and recovered Xipingzhou and Luzhou.

Yang Xinmin was also very efficient, and as soon as he won the two states, he immediately issued a silver reward. A human head, three silver coins.

One hand to hand, one hand to hand over coins, honest and trustworthy, Tong Su is not bullied.

These wolf soldiers of Liangguang saw that the court was extremely happy, and everyone could really get the reward, and they all screamed and rushed forward.

On April 22, the main force of the Ming army entered Xiping Mansion and made a slight rectification.

On April 23, Liu Chang led 20,000 Yingzhou Wei, 10,000 Duoyanwei, and 10,000 Shenji Battalion to attack Langshan from Xiping Province.

Xu Youzhen and Wang Tong led 20,000 Tiancewei and 10,000 Shenji Battalion, and then followed up.

There are also 10,000 people in the cavalry battalion, as a reserve and killer force, and they will not be used easily, so they will be in charge of the palace.

The 20,000 men of the 3rd Battalion of Jing'an still served as the forerunner, rushing from Xiping Prefecture to Langshan Fucheng all over the mountains.

Early in the morning of April 24, 10,000 Annam forbidden troops besieged the city of Langshan and attacked it urgently.

Li Yimin stood on the city wall and looked at the Annam Forbidden Army leisurely.

These forbidden troops came in too much hurry, and they all galloped on horseback, and they didn't even bring war elephants, let alone siege equipment.

All they could do was shoot arrows at the towers, plus intimidation and persuasion.

But it's useless, Li Yimin's more than 1,000 loyal soldiers, although they don't have a big chance, but they can guard the city for three or five days, it's still not a problem.

In fact, Li Yimin is still not optimistic enough. In the afternoon, when the Annan Forbidden Army had eaten and was sleepy and tired, Li Yimin's personal soldiers suddenly ran over and reported loudly: "Your Highness, in the north of the city, countless people have come out of the mountains and forests. ”

Li Yimin hurriedly moved to the North City Tower to watch, only to see a dense crowd of people, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.

In response to that sentence, there are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary.

Li Yimin sighed: "This is our reinforcements, hey, I didn't expect that I also took the step of luring the wolf into the house." Speaking of reinforcements, this is a pack of hungry wolves.

When Taizu and the Ming army were fighting, the Ming army was not like this. The stupid emperor, the stupid general, all gave us heads.

Now, it's clear that it's not a good thing. Do not open the gates of the city for a while, and do not let them in.

At least wait until I meet their high-ranking officials and discuss them.

Alright, cheer on the drums. ”

After another half an hour, the two wolf soldiers arrived and fought with the Annam Forbidden Army.

The infantry killed the cavalry, and the wolf-like warriors of Liangguang didn't even bother to swing the military formation, and they couldn't do it, so they shot wantonly with bows and crossbows and firearms.

The 10,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion formed a military formation, and under the protection of the Yingzhou Guards, they shot at the Annam Forbidden Army in a hurry.

Once the Annan cavalry fell from their horses, the two Guangzhou wolf soldiers stepped forward to fight hand-to-hand.

At the beginning, the Annam Forbidden Army was able to resist.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the Annam Forbidden Army finally could not withstand such a bloody battle and began to retreat.

At this time, the Yingzhou Guard and Duoyan Wei cavalry led by Liu Chang had already outflanked the back road of the Annan Forbidden Army. Thousands of exhausted remnants of cavalry were bitten by 30,000 cavalry fresh troops, and the result can be imagined.
