"Your Majesty, Ruan Gonggui, has seen the prince a thousand years old. The prince is a thousand years old..."
"Okay, who the hell can live a thousand years?"
Zhu Di stood by the river and looked at the Annan envoy in front of him.
He is in his forties and can be considered handsome.
So he asked, "What is your official position in Annan?"
"I am the commander-in-chief of Mimaru Prefecture!" Ruan Gonggui said in a low voice.
"Martial man?" Zhu Di looked at him again and frowned slightly.
"The appearance looks quite intimidating, but as a warrior, he doesn't look like a warrior at all. He looks like a big straw bag with embroidered pillows like Li Jinglong!"
Zhu Di cursed in his heart, "What did your master say when he sent you here?"
Ruan Gonggui immediately said, "The leader of our country said that he has already committed a sin against the Heavenly Kingdom, and his crime is unforgivable!"
"But the Ming Dynasty has always been a country of etiquette. My country's leader asks Chitose, for the sake of the wealth and lives of millions of people in Annan, to allow my country's leader to plead guilty to the Ming Emperor!"
"Humph!" Zhu Di sneered.
"The leader of our country knows that his crime is serious and he can no longer be the leader of a country!" Ruan Gonggui said again, "So, I am willing to abdicate the throne and then become a monk!"
"Hmph!" Zhu Di sneered, "This throne does not belong to his family. How many times will he give in?"
As he said that, he looked at the other party sideways and said, "I shouldn't see you! You are still thinking about duplicity and trying to deceive me, Da Ming..."
"I don't dare!" Ruan Gonggui was shocked.
"Go back and tell your master!" Zhu Di continued to sneer, "I have been ordered by the emperor to send 800,000 troops to attack your crimes. If you can fight, then come and fight."
"If you are unable to fight, kneel down outside our camp and wait for the Emperor's fate!"
"This..." Ruan Gonggui was shocked.
The people of Ming Dynasty are no longer the same as before!
This is obviously not giving Annan any chance?
Do we have to destroy Annan?
What good would it do to the Ming Dynasty to destroy Annan?
"Let's go! I don't want to see you again!" Zhu Di waved his hand impatiently, "Besides, tell your master when you get back. Our troops have entered your territory, and there is no reason to return without a fight!"
Ruan Gonggui froze on the spot, at a loss.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came again.
But it was Zhang Yu, another general under Zhu Di, who came.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Di asked.
"Your Majesty, good news!" Zhang Yu laughed and said, "General Lu Lin of the Guangdong Navy made a surprise attack on the Annan Navy ten miles upstream of the Fuliang River Estuary two hours ago."
"Capture one enemy ship, destroy three, behead a hundred, and capture thirty-seven?"
"Upstream?" Ruan Gonggui was suddenly shocked.
The Ming army actually dared to go upstream and attack the Annan navy. Not only did they attack, they also won?
There is a ferry called Jialin upstream, which is a place heavily guarded by the Annan army. How can the Ming army come and go so easily?
"Okay, remember this great achievement!"
Zhu Di sneered, then turned to look at the turbulent river and the enemy camp on the opposite side, which was preparing to stay up all night, and said, "Cut off the decapitated heads... no, chop off the heads of the prisoners together and throw them into the river!"
"
After saying that, he sneered again, "Let's show the Annan people on the other side. If they become obedient people, they can live and work in peace and contentment. On the contrary... whoever dares to resist the Celestial Empire will have his head thrown into the river..."
"When the king is angry, he will lay down millions of corpses. In the past, when a disaster was approaching, there was no way he could have predicted it!"
~~
The same night, the night is like water.
"Woo..."
The war horse was about to scream out of boredom when its master's big hand covered its mouth.
This is a group of cavalry, both men and horses hidden in the night.
Zhu Gaoxu led the war horse and hid in the dense forest, looking at the Annan people's walled city in the distance.
In fact, he was not old enough to grow a beard, but he deliberately kept a carefully trimmed beard on his lips, making him look more mature.
Under the night, his back was like a javelin and his eyes were like fire.
"Second Master, when will you move?"
Zheng Sanbao stood silently behind Zhu Gaoxu and spoke softly.
"Wait!" Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, "Wait until they get sleepy!"
Zheng Sanbao nodded silently, then turned back and conveyed the message with his eyes.
As Zhu Di's retainer, he knew the second master in front of him very well. But now, he felt very strange.
Because the temperament of this second master at this moment is nothing like Zhu Di.
Many people have said that the style of King Zhu Di of Yan when he led the troops in battle was very similar to those great Khans on the grassland who were famous throughout the ages.
Proud, heroic, confident and brave.
But this second master is now as calm as a poisonous snake. He is extremely calm before a fight. Once activated, he will hit the vital point directly and never hesitate to use various methods.
Moreover, he is also cruel.
Earlier in the North, after the northern tribes surrendered, Zhu Di always took the most heroic and capable warriors under his command.
And this second master left almost no one alive under his command.
He only believes in the people he brings out!
"Woo..."
The war horse shook his head uneasily again.
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were a little more doting, and he touched the horse's nose and said, "Rouge, don't make trouble!"
Once upon a time, there was a horse named Rouge.
It and its owner died on the battlefield together.
Now Zhu Gaoxu has his own rouge, although it is not as good as that rouge. But he treats it just like the rouge's owner treats that rouge...
Full of love and trust!
"Don't make trouble!" Zhu Gaoxu kept stroking the war horse's neck, "I know you are tired, I know! After the battle, can I feed you fried dough sticks and eggs?"
The war horse's nostrils opened and closed, but it didn't make a sound. It just rubbed its head affectionately against Zhu Gaoxu's arm.
"We are now on the river bank of Chimumaru!" Zhu Gaoxu spoke and said to Zheng Sanbao, "If we seize this river bank, we can move to the north bank of the Tao River."
"On the north bank of the Tao River, you can directly attack the Duobang City of Annan. If you capture the Duobang City, the defense line that the Annan people have painstakingly planned will become a display."
Zheng Sanbao knew what he said.
The first problem facing the southern army now is that the battlefield is not wide. There is no way to spread out all the troops, and what Zhu Gaoxu has to do is to seize a large area of land for the southern army and create width on the battlefield for the army.
"But the second master!" Zheng Sanbao whispered, "The prince did not allow you... to move as you please?" After saying that, he hesitated, "Besides, there are at least 10,000 people on the other side, and you only brought a thousand
Eight hundred people!”
"Eighteen hundred people are enough!" Zhu Gaoxu sneered, "You can think of them well!"
As he said that, he turned around and shouted to the soldiers sitting on the ground in the dark, "Continue to rest, have a good sleep, and launch an attack at dawn!" As he said, he grinned, "Don't leave a single person alive...
.”

When dusk rises, people are most sleepy.
In the Annan camp, a sentry held his weapon and kept lowering his head, lowering his head, and then lowering his head again.
He was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes.
The sentries were like this, so you can imagine the other people in the military camp. In fact, it is not their fault. They were on guard night after night, but they never saw the Ming army attacking.
Now, they are exhausted physically and mentally and can no longer hold on.
Besides, how could it be such a coincidence that the Ming army didn't come earlier than later, but it happened to come when they were taking a nap?
"call!"
The sentry was awakened by his own snoring. He rubbed his sore neck, looked at the dusk on the horizon, supported the wall with his hands, and stood up with difficulty.
"ah!"
A big yawn, with tears coming uninvited.
At this moment, he was dizzy and didn't want to do anything. He was so weak. He just wanted to... have a good sleep.
He tried hard to open his eyes and looked outside the walled city inadvertently.
Suddenly, he froze as if petrified.
Phew! Phew!
Two iron hooks were placed directly on the wooden gate of the walled city.
Then, several flexible figures climbed up like monkeys.
"Enemy...enemy..."
Whoosh!
Before he could speak, the sharp sword fell on his head.
Plop! His head rolled on the ground.
After rolling a few times, it was stepped on by the vanguard of the Ming army.
Then the pioneers looked around vigilantly and waved violently towards the outside of the walled city.
"start!"
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand fiercely.
Several war horses pulled the rope and began to run as hard as they could. The other end of the rope was the hook hanging on the Annan people's walled city.
boom!
The wooden gate of the walled city collapsed.
Countless Annan troops woke up from their sleep and rushed towards the gate of the walled city like a tide.
However, as soon as they moved, the camp behind them burst into flames.
how come?
There are enemies both front and rear. Where do they come from?
And when they were stunned!
Boom! Boom! ωωw..net
As the earth shook, hundreds of cavalry rushed in.
The shining saber is as slender as a crescent moon.
Head!
Fly up!
