Before dawn, Ji Ying led ten Yi soldiers, pulling ropes, and crossed the Red River through an iron cable hidden in the river valley. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In a few moments, twenty thick hemp ropes stretched across the river several zhang wide. Xuan Qi instructed the soldiers to lay the wooden planks that had been prepared long ago on the hemp ropes, and put two hemp ropes on each side, and a simple suspension bridge quickly took shape.

The army of 80,000 did not cross the drawbridge until after noon. In the middle of the night, Xuan Qi led the army to the mountains and forests a few miles west of Butou, and immediately ordered to rest in place.

When the sky was just dawning, Xuanqi led the army to the outside of Butou Town, and the Yi people who had long been mixed in the city opened the west gate, and Xuanqi's army rushed in. However, in an hour, the Xuanqi army had firmly occupied Butou Town, and the more than 200,000 troops on the other side of the river had also begun to drive across the Red River in a steady stream.

The head of the march was lost, and the South Vietnamese army suddenly lost its natural danger and hurriedly retreated. Xuanqi was not in a hurry to attack, leaving 200,000 troops, and he took 100,000 troops and 30,000 Yi soldiers to rush towards the Lancang River in the starry night.

On the first day of the first month of March, the Xuan Qi army crossed the Lancang River and turned northward, gradually forming an encirclement of the South Vietnamese army on the south bank of the Lancang River. At this time, the remaining 70,000 troops on the West Road of Nanyue realized that the Xuanqi army had reached the bottom of their noses, and they hurriedly abandoned the city and fled.

The Xuanqi army blocked all the way, but still let more than 10,000 South Vietnamese troops break out of the encirclement and flee straight in the direction of Banna. Xuan Qi led Qian Chaoxian's army across the Lancang River, pursued them all the way, and fled to Banna to join the Banna South Vietnamese army, but there were only seven or eight thousand people.

Xuan Qi led an army of more than 300,000 and an army of 200,000 to the south of the Red River to surround the west and north sides of Banna, and gradually narrowed the encirclement.

At this time, the 200,000 reinforcements from South Vietnam also went north, reaching the south of Banna, all the way to the north. Xuan Qi divided an army of 100,000 and personally led the detour south.

On the eighth day of March, the two South Vietnamese armies finally converged in one place, and the military prestige was greatly boosted. Prince Nguyen Thanh Sin, the younger brother of the lord of South Vietnam, gathered all the generals and discussed the plan of counterattack overnight.

On the second day, the South Vietnamese army went out of the city for four miles, and the 200,000 troops lined up in a line, constantly calling for the Pingnan army on the opposite side. Qian Chaoxian and Liu Tongcheng watched the South Vietnamese army in front of the camp gate on the high ground, but they ignored it and hung up the anti-war card in front of the camp gate. Ruan Chengxin saw that he was scolding for a long time, but the other party still ignored him, although he was angry in his heart, he couldn't do anything. Just as he was about to withdraw his troops, he suddenly heard an earth-shaking sound on the right side, and even the earth began to tremble.

When he turned his head, he saw dust rising from the left side, but he couldn't see anything in the dust. Just when the army was suspicious, the sound was getting closer and closer, and it was already clear that it was thousands of giant elephants rushing over the mountains. On a giant elephant at the front of the herd, there was a beautiful woman sitting upright, holding a piccolo in both hands, and it was Yuqing who kept blowing in her mouth.

There are also giant elephants in the country of South Vietnam, so they naturally know the power of giant elephants. And with so many giant elephants appearing at the same time, the power can be imagined. The 200,000-strong army was suddenly in chaos, and I wished that my father and mother would have a few more legs so that they could run faster. Ruan Chengxin himself was also trembling with fright, and under the protection of his own soldiers, he struggled to flee in the direction of the city gate. Countless soldiers stood in front of them, fleeing in all directions, even if they were cut down a lot by Ruan Chengxin's personal soldiers on the spot, they were still scurrying around like headless flies.

The country of Nanyue is mountainous, but the army is dominated by foot soldiers, which can be faster than the wild elephant herd. The herds of elephants rushed into the army like a tidal wave, and countless of them were trampled to death by crushing each other and trampling each other to death. The South Vietnamese soldiers who fled to the city gate had already seen the city gate, but they suddenly heard a drum, and behind the mountain pack on the left, a large army rushed out, and there was a big "Li" character on the banner, which made people shudder.

It was Xuan Qi who took the lead, leading no more than 10,000 cavalry to quickly stop the South Vietnamese rout, but behind him were 60,000 archers with a neat lineup. Countless sharp arrows flew out from behind the cavalry, and the rain of arrows was dense over the heads of the South Vietnamese soldiers. The South Vietnamese general who was defending the city ordered the city gate to be opened, and rushed out with tens of thousands of foot soldiers, wanting to meet the defeated South Vietnamese army, but it was the rear army of the Xuan Seven Army, and suddenly 30,000 archers turned around in unison.

Countless sharp arrows, all shot in the direction of the city gate. In the blink of an eye, the front of the city gate was filled with corpses and South Vietnamese soldiers who were wounded by arrows, still wailing to themselves. As the rain of arrows fell again, the hole in the city gate was blocked by the corpses of the South Vietnamese soldiers, but they couldn't get out of the city for a while.

The South Vietnamese soldiers at the head of the city also wound their bows and arrows one after another, shooting towards the Xuanqi army. However, the strong bow of Nanyue is not as good as the strong bow of the Celestial Empire, and the poofs are all falling more than ten zhang away in front of the Xuanqi army, and occasionally a few sharp arrows fly into the Xuanqi army, but it is already the end of the strong crossbow, and it can't cause any big damage.

Alone in the herd of giant elephants, Ngoc Thanh rushed into the crowd of the South Vietnamese army, like a flood crossing the country, and everywhere he passed, it was a mess. When the herd of giant elephants rushed past the South Vietnamese army, the camp of the Celestial Empire army sounded the earth-shattering war drums, the camp door was wide open, Qian Chaoxian and Liu Tongcheng each led a large army, and rushed towards the chaotic South Vietnamese army like a tide.

After three rounds of archers, the archers stopped, and the pikemen and spears behind them were lined up, pressing towards the South Vietnamese army. Countless South Vietnamese soldiers were pierced by dense spears, and even if they did not die, they would be trampled under the feet of pikemen and trampled to death. The archers were behind the pikemen, and they rained down on arrows.

Countless South Vietnamese soldiers began to flee towards the mountains on both sides. In the mountains and forests on the left, Ji Ying with 30,000 Yi soldiers was waiting for him. In the mountains and forests on the right, Yuqing had already gotten off the back of the elephant, leading 30,000 tribesmen, waiting for the arrival of the South Vietnamese rout.

The South Vietnamese army routed into the mountains and forests, but countless screams continued to sound. In this mountain and forest, these 60,000 ambush soldiers are like demons, appearing in front of and behind the South Vietnamese soldiers anytime and anywhere, harvesting one life after another. A one-sided slaughter began.

The soldiers escorted Ruan Chengxin and turned around, but when he saw the troops of the Celestial Empire in all directions, Ruan Chengxin couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. In each previous invasion of the Celestial Empire, the large army sent by the Celestial Empire often only drove the South Vietnamese army out of the country, but it was unwilling to entangle with the South Vietnamese army, which was good at mountain warfare.

And this time, the army of the Celestial Empire was like crazy, encircling and intercepting the South Vietnamese army, and I don't know how many South Vietnamese soldiers died in this reckless mountain.

Nguyen Thanh Shin began to feel some remorse. But at this moment, how to escape from the encirclement of the Celestial Empire's army is what he should consider. After thinking about it for a long time, Ruan Chengxin made a decision that he regretted until he died, and with a wave of his hand, he rushed towards the mountains and forests on the right with a team of pro-soldiers.
