Chapter 75: The Town Guard (Second Update, Asking for Support)

Don't take the people as enemies, only punish the ministers and thieves!

And that's just it, of course...... Excuse!

Just like when the Chen Dynasty was usurped by the powerful minister Li Jichen (Hu Jichen) and established the Hu Dynasty. After Cheng Zu heard about it, since he sent troops to the south to conquer it, he eliminated it. Of course, then it was all over the descendants of the Chen family, wanting to establish himself as the king, and the elder of the Annan officials said that he had been "wiped out" by Hu Jichen, and there was no way to inherit the Empress Chen", and proposed to the Ming court that "Annan is the capital of Jiaozhou, and I am willing to renew the county and the people."

It's better to have an excuse than no excuse at all.

It was precisely for this reason that the morale of the Ming army suddenly rose. At the same time, the drumbeat of the Ming army sounded, and groups of Ming troops lined up in a line, stepping on the drums and advancing towards the array of the Vietnamese army.

"The Ming army is coming!"

Zheng Zheng's eyes stared at the Ming army marching between the rice fields, looking at the red line array, his expression looked quite ugly, he had led the troops for decades, and he could see at a glance that compared with the chaotic camp of the Imperial Forest Army (Zheng Army), the Ming army's formation was neat, not to mention, and there was no slightest confusion when marching.

"Father, you can start the first shot!"

The history of the Yue people's contact with artillery, even later than the Ming Dynasty, from the Franc machine to the long snake cannon, the Yue people have been mass-produced, there is a cannon foundry in Thang Long Province, Zheng Ruan in the decades of war, the two sides also used a large number of firearms, Zheng Gen's suggestion is of course based on the past combat experience.

At a distance of more than two miles, the Vietnamese artillery suddenly spoke. Although the cannon rumbles, it has a very limited effect because of the distance. Such artillery fire could not stop the advance of the Ming army. At this time, the drums of the Ming army became relatively rapid, and the pace of the soldiers was also quickening.

At the same time, the field artillery of the Ming army also began to suppress the earthen artillery on the opposite position. The momentary deafening rumble almost drowned out the sound of the drumbeat. When the distance between the two sides was reduced to 500 fathoms (meters), the drumming stopped again at the officer's command. The Ming army, which was obviously a little disorganized, was once again lined up in line, blocked by the spears placed horizontally in the hands of the non-commissioned officers.

However, during the whole process, the Vietnamese army did not take any other measures to meet the battle except for the dozens of artillery guns that were initially fired. They were still lined up in so-called formations in and out of the front line—messy phalanxes, most of them armed with knives and guns, and with a limited number of muskets, it was clear that they did not seem to be very good at using them.

Jin Tongwu on the dirt slope couldn't help frowning as he watched the situation of the Vietnamese army from the telescope. It stands to reason that at this time, the Vietnamese army should take action.

Why are you still standing there stupidly and not moving?

Is there any plan that can't be realized?

Not only did the infantry not move, even the war elephants and cavalry did not move, Jin Tongwu was no stranger to the Nanban's combat methods, logically speaking, they should have begun to dispatch infantry now, under the cover of war elephants to impact the formation of the Ming army, and then a small number of their cavalry would wait for the opportunity to attack on the flanks.

Although he has not fought with Annanman, Jin Tongwu has fought with Burmese several times, and their fighting style can be described as "clumsy", without any rules at all, and many times, they even rush over in a swarm.

In fact, if it was replaced by other opponents, Zheng Zheng might have already ordered the army to attack, but the tree is the shadow, the person is the name, after all, it is facing the army of the Northern Dynasty, and unlike other barbarians, the Northern Dynasty has invaded the "Southern Dynasty" countless times, and the fear of the Northern Dynasty has actually been hidden in the hearts of all Annan people, and it is precisely because of this that Zheng Zheng will be cautious and cautious.

Jin Tongwu, who had already moved from 4 miles away and put the command position in front of him for at least 2 miles, looked at the Vietnamese army that was not moving in front of him. Although he didn't know what the other party's strategy was, he didn't have the heart to continue to play with the Vietnamese army.

So he put down his binoculars and ordered the herald behind him.

"Order the artillery to attack the Vietnamese artillery and give them a heads-up!"

The artillerymen who had already shifted their positions twice, after receiving this order, the artillery commanders, who had already thrown off the mud, immediately hurriedly issued an order.

"The gunners are in place!"

The gunners, who had already done it like mud monkeys when they had transferred the guns, also quickly ran to the designated positions and loaded the guns with shells as they had done during training in the past.

"Put!"

With the command of the artillery captain, dozens of clouds of smoke covered the artillery position, and dozens of shells flew towards the artillery position of the Vietnamese army with a "whoosh", and they first swept over the heads of the Ming officers and soldiers, making a sharp whistling sound, and then swept over the heads of the Vietnamese army, just when the Vietnamese infantry breathed a sigh of relief. The shell landed near the Vietnamese artillery, and the round shell did not explode immediately, but spewed white smoke, and a moment later, when the Vietnamese army did not know what to do, the sudden and violent explosion raised a cloud of smoke, and the billowing smoke instantly swallowed the Vietnamese artillery position. Although the loud explosions and billowing smoke looked spectacular, the actual damage was very limited, because the timing of the fuse did not explode in the first place, and the accuracy of the smoothbore guns meant that most of the Vietnamese gunners avoided the shelling.

But despite this, Zheng Zheng was still startled by the billowing gunsmoke, and at this time, he remembered the saying that "the firearms of the Northern Dynasty are sharp, which can be called the first in the world", and then looked at the cannon that was swallowed by the gunsmoke, and at the same time instinctively felt a trace of fear, he also realized that it was not a good way to keep it like this.

"Father, if they continue to defend like this, they will bombard us with cannons, and they will be able to bomb our people!"

The words of the prince Zheng Gen immediately attracted the approval of the surrounding generals, who had not yet fought with the Ming army, so they were naturally worried that if the next round of artillery shells of the Ming army fell in the formation, they would definitely disperse the formation.

"King, if the formation of the Royal Forest Army is out of order, when the time comes, it is very likely that the enemy will have a chance to take advantage of it, and in the opinion of the last general, he should immediately rush over and kill the Northern Army by surprise."

As soon as Ding Wenzuo's words fell, other generals over there immediately spoke.

"King, the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty have not known about the war for several years, and my Dayue soldiers are all battle-hardened generals, once they are close, they will be able to be ten!"

Whether it can be estimated by one or ten and not to say, but indeed, the Zheng Ruan dispute has lasted for decades, and the Annan soldiers have indeed fought dozens of battles, and it can indeed be said that it has been on the battlefield for a long time.

But they obviously forgot that the Ming army was also battle-hardened, and Jin Tongwu and others had all been galloping across the country for decades, and naturally no one took them lightly, but many times, people would always be blinded by their own advantages by wishful thinking.

However, when Zheng Zheng was persuaded by the generals, the expression of Wu Gongyi, the guard of Xuanguang Town, was uncertain, and the martial family served as the guard of Xuanguang Town for generations. Passed to Wu Gong, called the young Fu Zongjun Gong, the original Zheng Zheng seemed that "he" relied on his mountains and rivers to be far away, and he was not subservient, pretending to be the king, and pretending to be the dynasty class", and with the sworn enemy of the Later Li Dynasty, Mo Chao Yu Dang, "repeatedly exchanged books". Naturally, he was not even reassured, but although Wu Gongbi had these crimes, the court of the Later Dynasty still remembered that his ancestors had participated in the Zhongxing cause of the Later Li Dynasty as "after the lords", so they "couldn't bear to ask for the guilt". This Northern Expedition to the Mo Clan was naturally to draw some elite soldiers from the martial arts, but who would have thought that he would be coerced by Zheng Zheng and went all the way south to Shenglong.

Because he was not the henchman of the Zheng family, the Wu family army was placed in the front, which originally made Wu Gongbi dissatisfied, but now seeing that everyone was agitating the army to attack, Wu Gongyi, who knew that once he charged, he would definitely bear the brunt of the attack.

"King, although the armies of Dayue have been on the battlefield for a long time, the soldiers of Xuanguang Town have not heard of military affairs for decades, and they are really overwhelmed."

What is overwhelmed?

Sneering Zheng Zheng naturally knew Wu Gongwei's thoughts, a foreign minister like him, all he thought and thought was how to preserve his strength, such a person was the most hateful! But now is the time to employ people, and Zheng Zheng is unwilling to show his dissatisfaction with the martial arts. So he said in a good way.

"This matter, this king naturally knows, for a while, General Ding's department will be the vanguard, and General Wu's Xuanguang Town will be in charge of the right wing, what does General Wu think?"

Zheng Zheng's arrangement made Wu Gongbi unable to say any other objections, so he just nodded and said.

"Listen to the king."

As soon as his words fell, he looked at a few generals over there who were the same as Wu Gongyi, who were all local town guards, and then asked in a cold voice.

"What else do you want!"

Although he seemed to be asking, everyone could hear that there was displeasure in his tone, they didn't have the merits of the martial arts family, and they dared to have the slightest opinion or request there.

"Since there is no requirement, then they will lead their officers and soldiers to prepare for a decisive battle with the Northern Dynasty army, you need to know that the Northern Dynasty has been bullying my Dayue for thousands of years, if we don't do our best in this battle, then my three million people in Dayue, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains will be enslaved and annexed for the Northern Dynasty again, for my Dayue three million people, this king hopes that you can work with this king, swear to kill the enemy, protect my Dayue!"

Zheng Zheng's mobilization immediately made the surrounding generals all follow to express their determination, it seems that for them, this moment has once again become a moment of great honor, if they can defeat the Ming army, then they will become the heroes of Dayue, and from then on forever in history.

Of course, not everyone thinks so, at least for Wu Gongpi, although Zheng Zheng seems to be gracious and dismisses his striker, he still feels Zheng Zheng's dissatisfaction.

"Father, from the child's point of view, this battle must be more than auspicious!"

When Wu Gongjun returned to the army, his son Wu Gongjun whispered as soon as he saw him.

"It's a big crime for us to commit a small crime, even if we win this time, what if the Northern Korean army overwhelms the border in the future?"
