On the fifth day of August, the southern army took the oath of surrender in Guilin Prefecture, Guangxi.
At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's message to punish the people and conquer the Li clan puppet dynasty in Annan was carved on a wooden sign by the Ming army and put into the river and flowed down the river.
The people of Annan on the border originally did not know why Ming Dynasty troops gathered at the border and were in panic. However, after seeing the proclamation, the people calmed down and waited for the arrival of the king's army.
On the same day, Dongguan Bo Herong, deputy general of the southern expedition, led his troops to capture Qiuwen County in Annan without any bloodshed, and built a castle to transport military supplies.
The next day, another deputy general, Yongdinghou Zhang Quan, led the vanguard Huang Zhong, Goryeo general military officer Pu Sandai, and Yingyang general Zhu Neng led an army of 8,000 to attack the Liuguan Pass of Annan Pass.
This pass was later called Southeast You Pass in Pingxiang City, Guangxi, and was the only way for Guangxi to enter Vietnam.
~~
The pass is not very majestic, but it is built on the mountain with twists and turns and is extremely deep.
Looking up from the foot of the mountain, the Annan people built strongholds on the mountain, with strongholds between the strongholds and trenches between bunkers, connected vertically and horizontally.
"What a bastard!"
Zhang Quan, the Marquis of Yongding, stationed his horse at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the figures running up and down the mountain delivering messages and the waving battle flags, he grinned and cursed, "You've become a turtle with your fucking head!"
They had received military reports in advance that there were 20,000 Annan defenders at this pass, equipped with a large number of firecrackers, and they were commanding a commanding position. On the only way to climb the mountain, a large number of pits were set up, and the pits were filled with sharpened arrows.
of pillars.
"The Annan people want to avoid the field battle and defend to the death!" Park Sandai, the commander-in-chief of Goryeo Army, also looked at the village on the mountain and frowned and said, "If we attack by force, our army will definitely suffer a lot!"
"Tsk!" As soon as he finished speaking, there were sneers from the side.
He turned around with some annoyance, but it was the commander-in-chief of Guangxi Dusi Qianshi. General Huang Zhong, who was the former general of the southern expedition, curled his lips and laughed.
"What? Am I wrong? General Huang?" Pu Sandai asked.
Now he is no longer the Wu Xia Ameng he once was. Now he has the emperor making decisions for him.
In the past, when the emperor didn't let him make the decision, these Ming Dynasty warriors bullied him. Now the emperor makes the decision for him, and they still bully him.
Then the fucking emperor didn’t decide for nothing?
"There's no such thing as immortality in a war!" Huang Zhong rolled his eyes, "Besides, we have to try to see if we can win!"
After the words fell, Yongding Hou Zhang Quan turned around and grinned, "Is it deep or shallow? Try to quarrel with a guy?"
"Try it!" The Ming army generals all grinned.
Pu Sandai hurriedly said, "Master Marquis, the last general is willing to lead our headquarters as a vanguard!"
He was eager to fight, and he was determined that no matter how many casualties there were, the Goryeo army would be powerful.
But Zhang Quan, the Marquis of Yongding, shook his head and said solemnly, "It's not that I underestimate you! You have never fought such a battle!" He said with a softer tone, "This southern expedition must be won with thunderous momentum. We must not stumble at the beginning.
of!"
After saying that, he ordered, "Huang Zhong, Zhu Neng!"
"The end is here!"
"Fight him! Fight him to death!"
~~
"Boys, get ready!"
The military order could not be issued for more than three seconds, and the shouts of the officers came one after another from the Ming army's position.
"Team up, team up!"
"The rattan player is in front!"
"The swordsman is behind!"
"Those stupid guys threw the spear first!"
"Hurry up and set up the cannon for me and blast it at the top of the mountain!"
It may seem like a noisy order, but every one of it is well-founded and appropriate.ωωw..net
Because the Annan Army built a stronghold in the mountains and dug bunkers. As a vanguard corps, the Ming Army was mostly equipped with light artillery. The thunder and raindrops were louder when bombarded at an angle, which was far inferior to the returning artillery like the goddess scattering flowers.
Just when the Ming army was reorganizing, seven or eight artillery pieces, under the command of veterans, had been pushed directly to the forefront of the position. If the Annan army on the mountain also had artillery, they would be within the bombardment range.
The artillerymen and craftsmen of the Ming army shouted at the top of their lungs, and the Korean soldiers acted as subordinates. After a while, the artillery was set up.
Among the Ming army, the veterans who usually seemed lazy and even a little wretched, squinted their eyes at this moment and first licked their thumbs with their tongues to test the direction of the wind.
Then he squinted his eyes and calculated the distance plausibly.
"Test the gun!"
After the officer's words fell, the winch made a harsh creaking sound, and the return gun filled with gravel was pulled full.
Then there was the bang of a sledgehammer, followed by a buzzing roar.
Countless black spots rushed into the sky, then whirled and whirled down to the highest point.
boom!
Above the pass, there were bursts of dust and smoke.
The Annan army in the ditch of the village yelled and scurried away with their heads in their hands.
But when the smoke and dust dissipated, it was discovered that the gravel did not cause much damage to Annan's army, and many of the gravel flew over their heads.
"Loose the winch by twenty pounds and tighten the rope by two meters!"
The veterans who were responsible for the observation began to yell and curse again, "Tianna, I haven't practiced for a few days, and my mother's hand gave birth. I'm going to my grandma's house!"
Creaking, the cannon adjusted again.
At the same time, several phalanx formations of three hundred people were also formed at the foot of the mountain.
The one at the front is holding a five-foot-tall rattan sign made of three layers of bamboo and rattan, covered with iron sheets and then wrapped in cowhide.
This card is not square, but is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The wide place is 1.8 feet and the narrow place is 1.3 feet.
The reason why the shield is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom is because when the enemy attacks with bows, arrows and firearms, the narrow part of the shield can be better inserted into the ground to gain strength.
Several phalanxes are silent!
The generals of the Ming army on horseback were all cheerful, but Pu Sandai had a bit of sigh on his face.
"On weekdays, these soldiers look very lazy, but when it comes to battle, they are full of murderous intent!"
Originally, he had seen the wolf-like Ming Dynasty border troops in charge of the Koryo camp, and looked down upon these local troops from Guangdong and Guangxi.
But at this time, when I saw the Ming army's strict formation and the strict orders and prohibitions, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
~
At this moment, the officer in front of the cannon suddenly shouted, "Let go!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It's not a swarm of swarms, but one after another in an orderly manner.
The sky was filled with roaring black spots, and among them were firelights.
This time, after the Ming army gunners adjusted the angle, they didn't use all gravel.
Instead, it is mixed with an iron lump with a hollow outer circle and a fire wire inside to explode the thunder.
boom!
There was a loud bang.
The war horse under Park Sandai's crotch screamed uneasily and began to twist.
I saw countless sparks blooming in the sky, and debris flying all over the sky with a terrifying momentum.
Boom!
It could be clearly seen that an Annan people's village on the top of the mountain was smashed to pieces by iron balls and gravel in an instant, and the screams of the Annan people could be heard.
