Xu Huizu waved his hand and said: "Okay, pass on the order, and the army will go straight to Annan!"
……
To be honest, An Nanguo is actually very small. From Laoyin Mountain to Qinghua, the capital of the king, it only takes one day to change to a good horse with long endurance.
Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, some soldiers hurried back to Qinghua, the capital of King Annan.
After all, Daming and Annan were at war, so the guards at the gate of Tsinghua City were very strict. As the guard of Tsinghua, Wu Gantuo got up early, because he was in charge of the security and defense of the capital, so the city gate was guarded by him. One of the must-turn land boundaries.
The early morning sun just fell into the sky, and when Wu Qiantuo brought his soldiers to the gate of Qinghua City to inspect, a soldier wearing a Ming armor and in a state of distress rode a scrawny horse and ran away. To the direction of Qinghua city gate.
Qinghua is the capital of Annan's kingdom, so the city gate is naturally heavily guarded, and dozens of Annan soldiers in armor are guarding it.
Seeing this 'Ming Army' rushing straight towards the city gate at this moment, I became angry at that time. One of them, who was obviously the role of the chief guard, first glanced cautiously at Wu Gantuo who was staring at this side, Then he stared at the 'Ming Jun' and said:
"Hey, the Ming army, you know that this city is the capital of King Annan, you rushed into the city without even giving way, you are throwing yourself into a trap! Come, arrest this Ming army for me , dragged to the city and beheaded for public display!"
Well, I haven’t asked anything yet. If I catch him, I will be chopped down. Isn’t he playing tricks on people? Even if he wants to restore the court’s reputation, he can only make an example of others to enhance Hu Hancang’s prestige!
The 'Mingjun', who was covered in black and had multiple burns on his exposed body, hurriedly said in Annan's dialect: "My lord, I, I am not the Mingjun, I am the subordinate of Lord Ding Feilu!"
"Well, Ding Feilu?" Wu Qiantuo, who was watching from the side, suddenly stepped forward to look at the person and said, "Isn't Ding Feilu outside Daming Pingyuefu City? Why are you back? Are you a deserter? "
Annan people have the habits of Annan people, and the tone of Annan people is difficult for outsiders to imitate. Even Ming people who can speak Annan fluently will have accent problems, so after this little soldier just spoke, Wu Gan Tuo confirmed his identity as an Annan.
"Responding to this lord, the little one, the little one came back from the battlefield!" Xiaobing heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that he didn't have to die, "No, but the little one is not a deserter, but, it's Ding Da Those with few lives will come back and report the battle situation to my emperor."
"How could you be in such a mess when reporting the battle situation? Where is Ding Feilu? As the former commander of the army, he didn't come back, so he made you come back wearing the armor of the Ming army. Could it be that you have already captured Pingle?" Wu Gantuo Looking at the little soldier fixedly, his voice was full of surprise.
After all, he also knew that there were [-] Ming troops stationed in Guangxi itself, and if the [-] troops in Jiaozhi were added, it would be exactly [-] troops.
One side could be called elite soldiers, plus the [-] troops of Jiaozhi, once the two sides meet, Pingle will become an extremely difficult bone. With only [-] soldiers under Ding Feilu's command, it is easy to It cannot be attacked.
So Wu Gantuo was very puzzled, since he hadn't captured the city yet, why did this little soldier behave in such a panic?
As soon as Wu Gantuo finished speaking, the little soldier immediately said: "My lord, yesterday the Tang army came out of Pingle City and raided our army's camp outside the city. A kind of firearm that looks like thunder descending into the world, we just saw the wise man from a distance, and before we even had time to fight it, the barracks were already destroyed!"
When he said this, the little soldier's face was already full of fear, and his voice was filled with strong fear.
"What? Say it again, the barracks are all destroyed?" Wu Qiantuo's face changed suddenly, and he looked at the soldier sternly.
The little soldier swallowed with some difficulty, and said almost choked up: "All of my Annan army has been sacrificed, and none of them survived!"
quiet!
The entire city gate fell into a strange silence. It was the words of this little soldier that were too terrifying. Although there was a big difference in numbers between a [-] army and a [-] army, it would not be completely wiped out. ?How could it be impossible for even a little person to escape?
After staying for a long time, Wu Qiantuo waved his hand suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, take him into the imperial city with me!"
Although Hu Hancang said that he was greedy for pleasure, he was the king of Annan after all, and he was still very concerned about the Annan war arranged by himself.
"Yes, my lord!"
A soldier responded, and stepped forward, like a prisoner, and thrust the little soldier into the ground.
"You, what are you doing? I am a soldier of Annan, I am not a rebel, and I am not a soldier of Ming Dynasty. Why do you treat me like this?" The little soldier was angry, and he came here at the command of his lord anyway. The messenger, why did he make such a fuss as if he had committed a big crime?
"Hmph, your army stationed outside Pingle has been wiped out, and you are the only one left. Even if you say you are not a deserter, can you believe me?"
Wu Qiantuo got on his horse, glanced coldly at the little soldier, and said with a sneer, "Of course, even if what you say is false, I have no right to deal with you. Who told you that you came back from Daming? deal with it!"
Chapter 463 Destruction of the Royal City Plan
Zhu Song didn't care about what happened to Annan, even if he knew about it, he wouldn't react.
After all, the reason why Hu Hancang left [-] soldiers outside Daming Pingyuefu City was to delay the time properly, collect as much information as possible about the Ming army, and send them to the capital of Annan.
Right now, the army has been wiped out by troops sent by Xu Huizu, and even the magistrate of Pingyue Mansion has been dismissed for investigation. This is tantamount to pulling out Annan's eyeliner. Annan is now blind and has nothing to do with the Ming army entering Annan's territory Know.
Even though Zhu Song had made a detour from Luolaoyin Mountain to Annan, he was quite clear about what happened ten miles away from Pingle Mansion.
Because this was all discussed by Zhu Song and Xu Huizu. When he led an army of ten thousand to sneak into Annan, it was the time when Xu Huizu wiped out the Annan soldiers outside the city.
It seems that Hu Hancang still trusts Cangwang, the old head drop artist. After Zhu Song completely wiped out the Annan soldiers ambushing outside Laoyin Mountain, he rushed all the way to the direction of Wangcheng without even a formal resistance. All along the way, there were just some stragglers, even in those places with more numbers, the number of people was only seven or eight hundred, and ten thousand Ming troops crushed them all the way.
Of course, for the sake of confidentiality, Zhu Song asked Liu Fu to choose a relatively secret route, and subconsciously slowed down the marching speed of the army.
After walking to the land of Annan for two days, the location where Zhu Song and the others are at the moment is not too far from Qinghua, the royal city of Annan.
During these two days, although it was a hasty march, Zhu Song did not treat the soldiers who followed him badly. He marched during the day, killed Annan's soldiers, robbed Annan of food, grass and drinking water, and let the army find a hidden place to rest at night.
In Zhu Song's words, soldiers are also human beings, what is the basis for fighting besides food and supplies, and not these soldiers?
If these soldiers are not allowed to eat, drink, and rest well, what kind of battle is there? Just break up and forget it!
Besides, the road from Annan to Wangcheng is not completely empty. There is no army stationed there. If you don't make a perfect strategy, you will die if you go up.
"My lord, let's eat something!"
A hidden place, just as Zhu Song was thinking about how to completely destroy Qinghua, a slightly hoarse voice came over.
Zhu Song turned his head to look, but he saw Liu Fu, the personal guard of King Min's Mansion, Han Qingshan, Huang and others came over, and Huang San was holding half a roasted pheasant in his hand, exuding a tempting aroma .
"Oh, it's you, have all the soldiers eaten?" Zhu Song stretched out his hand to take the half roasted pheasant that Huang San handed over, and said, "We have just arrived here not long ago, and we have traveled for half a day. The soldiers are somewhat tired, you should hurry up and have a good rest!"
"My lord, you have been running around for a day. Go rest after eating. The last general has arranged soldiers on duty, so don't worry!" Han Qingshan's voice was a little low, and his face was somewhat windy and dusty. color.
"No problem!" Zhu Song waved his hand, suddenly patted a big clean rock beside him, and said, "Since you three are here, then sit down, I have something to discuss with you!"
"Yes!"
Everyone was not surprised. After all, they were about to arrive at Annan King City, and a specific method of destruction required a specific method of warfare.
After all, Tsinghua is no better than the small villages they attacked all the way and wiped out. This is the Annan King City, with a moat outside and a high wall. Qing, if it is sabotage, or if you want to attack the royal city and destroy the Hu clan, the conventional method will definitely not work.
This is also doomed, Zhu Song and the others need to use some other methods.
After Han Qingshan, Huang San and the others sat down beside Zhu Song, Zhu Song looked at the Ming soldiers resting in the distance with the faint light of the fire, and said: "Qingshan, since entering Annan, there seems to be some soldiers in the army. The bodies of several soldiers appeared abnormal due to the acclimatization of the water and soil, I don’t know what happened to their bodies?”
It’s bad luck to say that, since entering Annan at night the day before yesterday, many soldiers began to suffer from abdominal pain and diarrhea. By early morning, the situation had improved a lot, but there were still about a dozen soldiers in condition. It's getting more and more serious, which is obviously a symptom of acclimatization.
"Please rest assured, the ten or so soldiers who were injured are no longer seriously ill. Fortunately, they brought along three or four military doctors trained by the Imperial Physician Supervision Department. Otherwise, those soldiers would be in trouble."
Hearing Zhu Song's words, Han Qingshan immediately answered with a chuckle.
It was Zhu Song who had the foresight. Before leaving, he specially brought three or four military doctors from Xu Huizu, and told them to bring the commonly used medicinal powder. I went to see Hades.
"Haha, it's fine if nothing happens! But the soldiers still need to pay attention when eating and drinking, so as not to get serious!"
