Chapter 813: The Immortal Master Conquers Annan
Thanh Hoa.
Yang Feng's crusade against Annan was not very good.
By this time, it was already winter, and the drop in the water level of the Red River prevented the fleet from reaching Hanoi directly......
Of course, even in the summer, it can't be reached.
This can be said that the mother river of Vietnam has countless estuaries on the delta, not to mention that it is called the Red River, naturally known for its large sand content, such a river is difficult to form a real port at the mouth of the river, the reason why Haiphong Port has become the most important port in the north is because it is almost out of this delta, but at this time Haiphong Port is not worth mentioning, although it can be used, it cannot provide enough food for Yang Feng's 20,000 army.
Yang Feng needs a big city.
The preferred target should be Nanding, that is, Changzhou during the Tang Dynasty, but his fleet was all sea-going ships that could not sail there.
Then I had to come to Qinghua.
"You are the kingdom of God, you should know the etiquette, how is it the way of Confucius and Mencius to invade a small country!"
In front of the Song army outside Qinghua City, a Confucian student roared angrily.
Behind him, several Confucian scholars were equally indignant, and one of them was holding a book and glaring angrily, and in the small city behind them, the Annan soldiers trembled and looked at the magnificent iron warriors of the Song army.
That's a full set of three thousand full plate armor warriors, and each person has a two-handed sword similar to a miniature version of the Mo knife, three thousand such soldiers are neatly arranged, that is really like a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, on the contrary, the flintlock pipers on both sides of these three thousand swordsmen have been ignored, in the eyes of the Annamite people, these short spears and even armor must be auxiliaries, but even so the three thousand iron man army is suffocating, and the Qinghua defenders, who know that the decisive battle in the field will definitely be useless, have no choice but to send these Confucian students out to know it with great righteousness!
Yang Feng stepped forward indifferently.
Fang Guoying and Shao Zongyu, who were originally facing Confucianism, immediately retreated to the sides, and Yang Feng took off his sunglasses and looked at the sky.
"This place is Tang Zhiaizhou, right?"
He said suddenly, bowing his head.
The Confucian nodded suspiciously.
"Then you howl!"
Yang Feng burst out and roared, raising his foot and kicking him out of more than ten meters.
"Fire!"
Then the fairy waved his hand and said.
In front of the flintlock pikemen on both wings, a full sixty twelve-pounder and six-pounder fairy hand-rubbed cast steel cannons suddenly erupted into flames, and the cannonballs hit the Thanh Hoa city wall densely, and the next moment the ancient rammed earth city wall that was not even covered with bricks collapsed......
"I don't understand, I haven't been here for a few years, how did it become an invasion?"
Yang Feng said speechlessly.
The continuous bombardment of sixty cannons shook this land that had actually been cut off from the Huaxia Dynasty for four hundred years, the rammed earth city wall continued to collapse under the cannonballs, accompanied by the frightened screams of the defenders on the city wall, a gap more than ten zhang wide continued to clear, and only a few minutes later, this ancient city that had once been in the Tang Dynasty and even more populous than Yueyang opened its arms.
"Kill it!"
Yang Feng then waved his hand forward.
The huge Iron Man Legion immediately moved forward, with the grinding sound of steel, and the two-handed giant sword on its shoulder, reflecting the dazzling light that swept through this land that had once belonged to China for a thousand years......
Thanh Hoa was taken down in this way.
Yang Feng left 5,000 soldiers to guard Thanh Hoa, responsible for collecting food in the vicinity, and transporting supplies north in small boats along those criss-crossing rivers, and then led his army to the north to march north to Hanoi, or Thang Long, as it was called, along the way the Annamites only sporadically resisted, and in fact did not encounter the enemy at all, nothing more than some local officials who fled in despair, and finally encountered real resistance until the city of Nan Ding......
In fact, Annan was also having a hard time at this time.
Their emperor was Chen Yuzong.
This guy is also a faint king, at the beginning of his father Emperor Chen Mingzong was in charge, at that time the situation in Annan was not bad, the latter shouted by the heavens, dying in the middle of the summer, thin at home and abroad, Gang does not surrender to the slogan of the south and west, not only beat the king of Champa to run to Java to take refuge, but also beat the wailing prison in the west, forcing all the small countries in the vicinity to submit, and even took advantage of the war in the north to expand northward and cross the border for two hundred miles to seize the six counties of Siming Road.
But after Chen Mingzong's death, Chen Yuzong was liberated at once.
Although the history of Vietnam boasted that he was armed with Wen Xiu Siyi Binfu, but in fact, the Champa people under the leadership of the new king A'a not only recovered the lost land and began to invade the north, Annam also continued to have peasant rebellions, originally in history a few years later, even the Zha people took advantage of the opportunity of Annam's internal struggle for power and profit to break Thang Long, just like the Jin army into Bianliang ransacked, but also in the ensuing battle to kill Chen Ruizong, after which the A'a people in 20 years three times to break Thang Long, until he died in 1390, Annan finally got rid of this nightmare above his head.
But by that time, Annan was also finished.
And then they were about to face another, even more terrifying nightmare.
None of that is going to happen now.
Because the history of Annam will not be long before it ends!
"Immortal Master, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived."
Fang Guoying outside Nanding City said.
"Then let them see what Tianwei is, continue to bombard, open the city wall and enter the city directly!"
Yang Feng said proudly.
After saying that, he immediately took off into the air, and soon saw the mighty fleet on the Red River, it was obvious that Annan had gathered enough troops during this time, this fleet stretched for more than ten miles, although there were no big ships, but with this number it must have exceeded 20,000 troops, and on some warships he also saw war horses that were incomparably precious to the Annan people.
Without the slightest hesitation, he continued to ascend and soon entered the thick clouds.
On the Red River.
"Ready to land!"
Chen Yizong, who was originally in history, Chen Shuming, the right minister of Annan at this time, looked at the heavy clouds above his head and said.
Beside him, his uncle's son, Hu Jiyu, or now known as Li Jiyu, who had usurped the Chen Dynasty in history and claimed to be a descendant of Yu Shun, immediately issued an order to the back to dock, and the Mianchang Dragon, which was flowing down the Red River, immediately leaned to the shore. These ships carried all the troops that Chen Yuzong was able to assemble in the Thang Long area, including the 500 cavalry, a full 25,000 troops, except that the Chen dynasty had no other army in the Red River area, and their main forces were all in Huazhou, led by the general Du Ziping to confront the Cham people, and a small number were in the north.
"Xiangguo, it is said that the Northern Army has demons to help in the war, do you want to wait for the masters to arrive before you do it?"
Li Jiyu looked at the top of his head and said.
As he spoke, a drop of rain fell from the dark sky, and then more raindrops began to fall on the river.
"If there are really demons, do you think those masters are useful? Since the Northern Army's firearms are fierce, let's take advantage of the heavy rain to attack, otherwise what will we take to reach their artillery after the rain stops? The herald ordered all armies to assemble immediately and prepare for the attack, the northern army came across the sea without cavalry, and if the artillery could not be used, our cavalry could win. ”
Chen Shuming said.
He has been guarding the north before, and he still has some talent in the face of the Mongols, originally in history, he was the emperor who struggled to support Annan for 20 years of internal and external troubles, in fact, they also had artillery, and the A'a people were originally killed by them with artillery in history.
"Quick, get ready to attack!"
Li Jiyu immediately shouted.
Almost at the colleague, there was a sudden strange sound in the sky, he subconsciously raised his head, and suddenly the white shadow flashed in front of him, and then there was a bang on the top of his head, as if someone had smashed it with a bone, and his eyes were black, and he almost fell down with a scream, he shook his head hard and finally regained his eyesight, but at the moment when his vision recovered, he trembled without hesitation.
Because at the same time, a block of ice the size of a human head whistled down, like a stone defending the city, and hit the head of an officer opposite, and the latter's head also turned into flesh and blood as the ice burst out......
The next moment was a myriad of ice blocks falling from the sky.
He and Chen Shuming were all stupid, they even forgot to dodge, and stood there dumbfounded as they watched the hailstones of all sizes, the largest and even the size of a millstone, fall in the background of the dark sky, smashing the surface of the Red River as if boiling, smashing the grass and mud on the shore, and also smashing the flesh and blood of the soldiers who were landing on the shore, as if it was a meteor shower of ice.
Many of the poor soldiers did not even have armor, and even a big hailstone of fists could smash them, and most of the hailstones falling from the sky at this time were the size of human heads, and such hail was a splash of flesh and blood wherever it hit, and they screamed and fled in this terrible hail, looking in vain for protection in the empty rice fields of the river beach, and then fell into the dirt by the hailstone.
Not to mention them, even the wooden boat they were on was smashed to pieces by the hailstones that should be called meteorites.
"Quick, jump into the river!"
Chen Shuming finally came to his senses, and then screamed.
Almost at the same time, a huge hailstone fell beside him, although it didn't hit him, the burst of broken ice still hit his face, instantly making his face bloody, Chen Shuming screamed and covered his face, but at this moment, in his vision of looking up at the sky, a golden phantom appeared on the background of the clouds.
"Dragon, Divine Dragon!"
He subconsciously exclaimed.
Li Jiyu and the surviving soldiers also saw that on the background of the clouds, a golden dragon head made angry eyes, but the dragon body was hidden in the clouds and could not be seen, but just the dragon head was enough, the soldiers in the hail couldn't care about escaping, anyway, there was nowhere to escape, they knelt down and prayed desperately to the dragon, including Chen Shuming and the two knelt down without hesitation, crying and begging for forgiveness to the dragon in the sky. Perhaps it was their prayers that moved the dragon, and the hail finally stopped, but the clouds did not disperse, and the next moment a golden light quickly fell from the sky, and then a majestic figure appeared in front of them, and around this figure, a phantom of a golden dragon coiled.
"Mortals, can you know the power of heaven?"
Yang Feng shouted with a dragon-shaped phantom with a majestic face in his hands behind his back.
Chen Shuming and those soldiers who knew Chinese kowtowed desperately, although they still didn't understand how they offended the heavens, but fortunately, they soon understood, because at this time, a group of Song cavalry ran over from Nanding City, and Fang Mingshan, who was the leader, rushed to Yang Feng and dismounted and saluted: "Immortal Master, our army has entered the city!" ”
Yang Feng nodded.
Chen Shuming and Li Jiyu looked at each other.
"Immortal Master, the country doesn't know that the immortal master is coming, and he has no intention of offending Tianwei, so the villain will enter the city and tell the army and the people to welcome the immortal master and the king master!"
Chen Shuming said without hesitation.
"You step forward!"
Yang Feng said.
Chen Shuming knelt down and stepped forward.
Yang Feng waved his hand casually, and then Chen Shuming suddenly found that his face was no longer painful, with the help of Fang Mingshan's armor that could be used as a mirror next to him, he immediately looked at his face, not to mention the wound, even the blood had disappeared, he quickly kowtowed again with gratitude, and then got up and took the war horse handed by Fang Mingshan and rushed towards Nanding City.
Twenty minutes later, the defenders of Nanding ceased to resist.
"All generations are the people of China, the last time this immortal traveled here was the Tang Dynasty, at that time this Annan and the north are no different, after five generations of troubled times, Ran Er and others also serve Huaxia Zhengshuo, such as the mainland princes only, this time the immortal marshal Wang Shi wants to cut Yunnan, you do not eat the pot pulp to welcome, but raise troops to block what is the reason? Do you want to resist the destiny of heaven? ”
Yang Feng shouted in the official office of Nanding City.
"The immortal master is angry, this is all ......"
Chen Shuming said.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Jiyu.
"The immortal master is angry, this is all the king's order, and our ignorance is just an order."
Li Jiyu said respectfully.
"Why is you like this?"
Yang Feng shouted.
"Hui Immortal Master, the villain is just following orders, why the contemptuous monarch obstructs the immortal master is not known to the villain."
Li Jiyu said.
"Immortal Master, the Chen family and the Tartars have always been friendly, before the Chen family was also a vassal to the Tartars, and it has not been done anyway, maybe the Chen family still wants to be in the same party as the Tartars, so he ordered to block my army, and the Chen family has been absurd since the pro-government, the people are unbearable, and the rebels have swarmed everywhere, this person is so mediocre but the same as the Tartar chieftain."
Next to him, Fang Guoying hurriedly slandered.
"Is that really the case?"
Yang Feng asked Chen Shuming.
"The villain doesn't dare to say the evil of the king, and the despised king is the brother of the villain, and the villain doesn't dare to say the evil of his own brother."
Chen Shuming had already understood Li Jiyu's intentions at this time, he was Chen Yuzong's elder brother, in fact, he was the longest among the brothers, but although Chen Mingzong killed a son when he was the emperor, he still stood up to Chen Yuzong, who was younger than him, of course he couldn't have no ideas, and when the immortal asked him, he immediately lowered his head and said with a sad face.
"Hmph, I want to see who dares to stop the power of heaven!"
Yang Feng sneered.
That's fine, otherwise he can't be shown, or it can also be said that the Great Song Emperor who represents behind him has the right to decide on the monarch of Annan, kill Chen Yuzong for Chen Shuming, and then support him to let him loot money and grain, and be responsible for the next transportation to Yunnan, it is said that he has a much larger population here than Ming Yuzhen, and the population of Zhu Laosi when he recovered Annan was five million, of which more than three million were actually Han Chinese.
