The sky finally dawned, and the sound of fighting in Hue City also stopped. Ruan Phu Ming, Ruan Youyi, Ruan Youjin are like mourning concubines, and the good master is more likely to be in trouble than in good luck!
General Yang Wu of Pingnan took action. He personally led Feng Anping, Bu Congshan, Prince of Zhenla (Cambodia), Nian Qiuqiu, Prince of Champa (the southernmost part of Vietnam), Posuo and other generals, 39,000 land troops, plus Ruan Youyi
, Ruan Youjin's more than 2,000 Ruan clan's remnants attacked Hue City; he also ordered Ma Xuan Sheng, Wang Zhiguo, and Xu Guixiang to lead 8,000 naval troops and 120 warships to attack Hue Port.
Zheng Kai had just led his army to capture Hue, and he was prepared to take advantage of the victory to pursue and seize the remaining Nguyen clan's Danang, Hoi An, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, and Quy Nhon provinces in one go. He did not expect to be attacked at all.<
/p>
Hue City was severely damaged in the previous offensive and defensive battles, and many gaps were opened. "Boom! Boom! Boom", the sound of cannons rumbled, and the gaps were opened even bigger.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The four forces of Ming Dynasty, Zhenla, Champa, and Ruan clan entered through the gap.
"This must be the remnant of the Ruan family struggling to death. Don't panic, let me hold it back," Zheng Kai shouted.
At this time, the Zheng army was scattered in the city, busy looting. Although they were all compatriots, the north and the south had been fighting for decades, and the hatred was as deep as the sea. It was only natural that the victors robbed the losers. Another time and space, the fifth time
During the Zheng-Nuan War, Lord Ruan attacked Zheng and took away all the Zheng family’s territory.
In a hurry, Zheng Kai only gathered more than 2,000 people and fought towards the gap. Halfway there, he met General Ruan Youdeng's troops with more than 1,000 people. The two joined forces to kill the enemies entering the city.
We are meeting Pingnan General Yang Wu of the Ming Dynasty and General Feng Anping.
Yang Wu had not fought in Annan for many years, and he was very aggrieved. When he saw Zheng Jun blocking the road, without saying a word, he jumped on his horse and advanced with his sword. He was originally a general of Zhu Hengjia's cavalry camp, and his equestrian skills were very good.
It is also a magical horse. It runs as if its four hooves are not touching the ground, and it is like the wind. It gallops in front of Ruan Youdeng and kills the horse with a sword.
"Ming army?"
When he saw that the enemy was actually wearing Ming army armor, Zheng Kai was shocked and said, "No, quickly form a formation." He hurriedly ordered his subordinates to form a formation, and also ordered people to notify the armies scattered in the city to assemble quickly.
It was too late. He had few troops and insufficient preparations, so he was quickly killed by the Ming army.
"Drive", Zheng Kai drew his horse and ran away. He was sixty-eight years old and had been fighting all his life with his elder brother Zheng Zhi. He was very good at saving his life on the battlefield. He lowered his body while running to avoid bows and arrows.
When Feng Anping's arrow arrived, it was difficult for people to shoot, so he shot at horses.
"咴聿聿", the war horse raised its hooves in pain and threw Zheng Kai off the horse. The prince of Champa, Po Suo, saw the advantage, rushed forward with his soldiers, and hacked him to death with swords.
For hundreds of years, the Champa people have been oppressed and cannibalized by the Annan people, so these Champa soldiers killed the Annan people very hard.
The same goes for the Zhenla soldiers. Prince Zhenla was only sixteen years old, but he was extremely brave. He led 10,000 Zhenla soldiers to kill the Annan people on sight. Zheng Gen and Qi Puzhong finally gathered more than 10,000 soldiers.
The horse was killed and scattered by the Zhenla people.
"Wang Changsun, the situation is critical. You must evacuate outside the city quickly to resist the enemy in the future," Zheng General Pu Zhong shouted.
Pu Pu is one of the twelve surnames of the Miao people. Pu Zhong was originally a Miao leader living in the Annan Mountains. After being subdued by Zheng Zhi, he became loyal and loyal. He was good at making a long fork with three strands. This fork is also called "tiger fork". It is a Miao people
Weapons used when hunting tigers and leopards.
A three-pronged long fork weighs eighty kilograms, which is much heavier than the ordinary "tiger fork", but it is as light as a feather in the hands of Pu Zhong. He is a famous "enemy of ten thousand people" in Zheng's army.
Zheng Gen refused to withdraw. "Our elite troops are all in the city. Once we retreat, the whole army will be destroyed. General Pu Pu, you dare to fight to the death with me."
"Why not?"
Pu Zhong was provoked by Zheng Gen, and his blood burst out. He carried an iron fork weighing eighty kilograms, but he walked as fast as flying and as fast as a galloping horse. He rushed into Zhenla's army and was unstoppable.
Zheng Jun gradually stabilized his position, and Zheng Jun in the city gradually moved closer to Zheng Gen.
Bu Congshan, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, arrived. Bu Congshan was originally the commander-in-chief of Qingwu Cai. After joining Zhu Hengjia, he still held the rank of commander-in-chief. This time he was transferred to Annan and he was eager to make a contribution and led his army to attack Zheng Gen from the flank.
Zheng Jun, who had just stabilized his position, could no longer resist, and the army was scattered.
Pu Zhong found Zheng Gen and said, "The matter is urgent. Please ask Wang Changsun to retreat quickly before the end of the line."
Zheng Gen nodded and said, "General Qipu, be careful." After saying that, he said no more and led his army out of the city quickly.
Pu Zhong led his Miao soldiers and rushed towards Bu Congshan's flag regardless of life or death. He could not ride a horse, but he walked as fast as flying, and in a moment he galloped in front of Bu Congshan's horse.
Bu Congshan was shocked and raised his gun to block it.
The sound of "bang" only caused pain in the tiger's mouth. He took off his spear and exclaimed in surprise: "This barbarian general is so strong!"
Bu Congshan's spirit flew away, and he turned his horse and ran away. Pu Zhong had already chased him and stabbed him with a fork.
"My life is at an end!"
Bu Congshan closed his eyes, and the fatal death in his imagination did not happen. Looking back, he saw that it was the soldiers who blocked General Wang Tian from Pu Zhong.
Wang Tian only blocked the three moves of Qi Pu Zhong. In the first move, the sword was blown away; in the second move, the horse's leg was broken by an iron fork; in the third move, an eighty-pound "tiger fork" broke Wang Tian's legs.
head.
Pu Zhong killed Wang Tian and came to look for Bu Congshan. Bu Congshan had already hid in the formation, "hurry up and shoot this barbarian general to death!"
"Boom, boom, boom", the Ming army's gunmen fired a volley.
"Bang!"
Pu Zhong's burly body suddenly fell to the ground, and the earthen jar was broken without leaving the well. The general would inevitably die before the battle.
Zheng Gen escaped from the city and met with Zheng General Hu Meng outside the city. Hu Meng's troops were elephant soldiers, with 3,500 people and 500 war elephants. Because the war elephants were huge and stationed outside the city, they were spared.
.
In the Battle of Hue, the four-party coalition led by the Ming Army took the Zheng Army by surprise and inexplicably beat up the Zheng Army. They suffered 3,000 casualties, killed and wounded 20,000 Zheng Army, and captured 40,000 prisoners. Most of these prisoners were confused when they robbed the city.
Caught.
Zheng Gen gathered the defeated troops, leaving only 20,000. Soon, he learned the bad news. The navy in Hue Port was attacked, and the right commander Dinh Wenzuo was killed in battle.
??
Ma Xuansheng, the commander-in-chief of the Annan Navy of the Ming Dynasty, deputy general Wang Zhiguo, and general Xu Guixiang led 120 warships to surprise Hue Port.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Ding Wenzuo was caught off guard. He had already eliminated the main force of the Ruan Navy, but he never dreamed that he would encounter a more ferocious enemy.
"Each one fights", Ma Xuansheng issued the semaphore.
Seeing that Brother Ma had left him to fight on his own, the Ming Dynasty Navy Commander-in-Chief Xu Guixiang led his twenty warships and went straight to Ding Wen's left flagship.
Xu Guixiang and Ma Xuansheng were both pirate leaders of the four surnames who were rampant in Guangdong. They had a good relationship with each other and treated each other as brothers. Now that Brother Ma is the commander-in-chief, he is the deputy general. He is a little anxious and wants to kill the enemy general. "Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
The cannonballs falling from the sky set Zheng Jun's warships on fire.
Xu Guixiang rushed into the Zheng army's formation and surrounded Ding Wenzuo's flagship. Annan's warships were somewhat similar to Champa, the big-eyed rooster ships from the Malay area, with one mast main sail and two masts jib, and the shape of the ship was larger than that of the Ming army.
Guangzhou and Fuzhou are much smaller and have fewer cannons on board.
Not long after the battle, Ding Wenzuo's flagship was blasted with a large hole in its side and slowly sank.
Ding Wenzuo refused to abandon the ship and flee for his life. He straightened his clothes and sank with the ship. Annan was known as "Little China", but the scholar-bureaucrats still had integrity.
There were five Dutch warships in the Zheng army's navy, the Qiwei, the Naxue, the Jiale, the Wickender, and the Booker. These five ships were originally merchant ships belonging to the Dutch merchant house in the Fenghua Prefecture of the Zheng family.
After receiving Zheng Zhi's generous gift, he installed a few more cannons and turned it into a battleship to assist the Zheng Navy.
When these five ships saw that something was not going well, they immediately hoisted white flags and sent people to negotiate with the Ming army, "We are merchant ships and were forced to get involved in a naval battle. We are now applying for a neutral departure."
"What kind of things are you waiting for? This group of red-haired barbarians were very ferocious just now. Now that the situation is not good, they want to stay neutral. Bah." Annan Navy Vice Admiral Wang Zhiguo vomited on the deck.
Saliva.
Ma Xuansheng laughed and said, "Vice-General Wang, there is no need to be angry. When I was a pirate in the past, I had a lot of dealings with barbarians. This red-haired barbarian has always had this bad character, bullying and fearing evil. However, the main goal of our army is
Annan, it is not appropriate to have another dispute with the red-haired barbarians, so let them go."
??
The commander-in-chief Zheng Kai was killed in the battle. Zheng Gen did not dare to stay under the city of Hue for a long time, so he led 20,000 remaining troops and withdrew to Guangzhi Prefecture. The Ming army pursued to Guangzhi, and then withdrew to Guangping Prefecture. The Ming army pursued to Guangping, and again
Evacuate to Ha Tinh Province.
The Ming army then pursued Ha Tinh, and everyone thought that Zheng Gen would withdraw across Lan Jiang (Dajiang) and defend Ngee An on the north bank of Lan Jiang.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Gen actually refused to retreat. He looked around at the generals and said: "I have been defeated repeatedly and the enemy has been victorious. Victory makes you arrogant and you will not be able to guard against me. You can set up an ambush here."
There are mountains everywhere in Annan Kingdom. Zheng Gen's 20,000 troops are hidden in the mountains and cannot be seen at all. They open their nets and wait for the Ming army.
The Ming army did not come, but more than 20,000 Ruan troops came.
It turned out that after the Zheng Army captured Hue City, they captured more than 20,000 Nguyen Army prisoners of war and were imprisoned in the city. After the Ming Army captured Hue, these Nguyen Army prisoners of war fell into the hands of the Ming Army.
Hu Zhigong, the governor of Annam, met Ruan Youyi, the general of the Ruan Army. Ruan Youjin was very respectful to the Ming Dynasty, so he conscientiously implemented Emperor Guangwu's instructions to "support the pro-Ming forces in Annan" and incorporated more than 20,000 Ruan Army prisoners of war into the second general. The second general is the first.
The power of his disciples increased greatly, and he became more grateful to the Ming Dynasty.
General Yang Wu of Pingnan also wanted to lead his army to pursue and fight fiercely. Hu Zhigong advised: "Commander, since ancient times, we should not pursue the enemy when we are poor. Zheng's army has always been brave. The reason why they were defeated in Hue is because they did not expect that our army would meet in Ming Dynasty."
Interference. Now that they have taken precautions, it may not be easy to fight. It is better to send the Ruan army to pursue them, and we will respond later. It is His Majesty's holy will to use the Annamites to fight the Annamites."
Yang Wushen thought so and immediately ordered the two Ruan army generals Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin who were close to the Ming Dynasty to serve as the chief and deputy generals. He also ordered the generals Ruan Fuming, Mei Wanlong and Zhang Wentong who were still loyal to the Ruan family to be the vanguard and led 25,000 Ruan troops to pursue Zheng Zheng.
The army; he himself led the army to follow behind, walking slowly and unhurriedly.
Ruan Jun chased into the mountains of Ha Tinh Province. The mountain road was winding and gradually fell into disarray.
Zheng Gen, who was hiding in the mountains, saw the opportunity coming, cut down the message tree on the top of the mountain, and released an attack signal.
"Woo~woo~woo~"
The melodious horn horn sounded, and the Zheng army attacked the Ruan army from all directions, cutting the Ruan army into pieces.
Zheng General Hu Meng led 3,500 men and 500 war elephants to kill him first. This Hu Meng was the descendant of the Annan royal family. His ancestor Hu Xingyi was from Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty and moved to Annan. Another ancestor, Hu Jili, was originally from Zhejiang.
He was a powerful official in the Chen Dynasty of Annan, and later usurped Chen and established the Hu Dynasty. Unexpectedly, it caused the armed intervention of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Yongle sent troops into Annan, and once turned Annan into a province of the Ming Dynasty.
There were also two hundred war elephants in the Ruan army. Seeing the ferocity of Hu Meng's approach, Ruan general Zhang Wentong hurriedly led his own war elephants to fight Hu Meng.
Hu Meng ordered the driver to drive the war elephant straight into the Ruan army's formation, shot the archer on Zhang Wentong's war elephant with one arrow, jumped on Zhang Wentong's war elephant, knocked down the driver with his right shoulder, and killed Zhang Wentong with a knife in his left hand.
Zheng Gen, who had just turned 21, showed his qualifications as a famous general and fought the entire ambush battle cleanly. He personally led two thousand Chinese troops to attack Ruan Youyi's general flag. Although Ruan Youyi was a famous general of the Ruan family, he was completely stunned.
He was caught off guard and was chopped down by Zheng Gen. As soon as the handsome flag fell, Ruan Jun immediately collapsed and fled in all directions like a headless fly.
"Da da da", a yellow gelding ran away desperately. There were two people on the horse. One of them held the horse between his legs and held the other in his arms.
"General Mei, I can't do it, please let me down," he said angrily in his arms, with a deep arrow stuck in his back, but it was Ruan's loyal minister Ruan Phu Ming. Holding him was Ruan's other
A loyal minister, Mei Wanlong.
Mei Wanlong put down Ruan Fuming and said, "Don't worry about me, it's just a minor ear injury."
Ruan Phu Ming laughed miserably, "Why should General Mei bother me? I have also fought in the war."
Mei Wanlong burst into tears, "Do you have anything to explain, Mr. Shang?"
Ruan Fuming gasped and said: "I don't regret my death. I'm just worried that the young virtuous master is young and that our Guangnan Kingdom will be in trouble!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Mei Wanlong said resolutely: "Don't worry, Mr. Ruan Fook. In the end, he will receive great kindness from the late sage. He will support and protect the young sage to the death. He will devote himself to death and die."
Hearing what Mei Wanlong said, Ruan Fuming closed his eyes and passed away suddenly.
In this battle, Zheng's army annihilated more than ten thousand Ruan troops at the cost of more than a thousand men. Zheng's young general Zheng Gen showed his talents as a famous general.
"What, there is an ambush in Ha Tinh House!"
Pingnan General Yang Wu was shocked when he heard the report. He was secretly glad that he listened to Hu Zhigong's words and did not pursue him personally, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss.
He respectfully asked Hu Zhigong for advice: "Futai, what should our army do next?"
Hu Zhigong smiled, "Of course we are marching into Ha Tinh House. Could it be that the commander-in-chief thought that Zheng Gen dared to ambush twice at the same place?"
Yang Wu led his army towards Ha Tinh House. As expected by Hu Zhigong, the Zheng army evacuated Ha Tinh House and retreated to Nghe An House to the north of Lanjiang River, relying on the natural barrier of Lanjiang River to block the Ming army.
According to Yang Wu's temperament, he wanted to fight across Lanjiang in one breath, but was stopped by Hu Zhigong.
Hu Zhigong said to Yang Wu: "Commander, the top priority is to control Ruan's Guangnan Kingdom. The enemies north of Lanjiang will be left to Dingxihou. If you take all the credit alone, I'm afraid Dingxihou will scold you."
.Hahaha!"
??
Qinghuafu in Annan was originally the western capital of the Hu Dynasty, and it was also the place where the Zheng family started.
The convoy escorting Zheng Zhi arrived at the gate of Qinghua City.
"Report to the King of Qingdu, Qinghua has arrived." His subordinates reported to Zheng Jie, but no one responded.
When I rolled up the car curtain and looked around, I saw that the seventy-seven-year-old Zheng Zhi had passed away, ending his life of military expeditions in the north and south.
"Your Majesty!"
There was a cry under Qinghua City, and the sky of Annan Zheng family collapsed.
During his reign, this legendary figure conquered the Mo clan twice, conquered the Wu clan once, and conquered Nanzhang in the west, winning every battle. Only five southern campaigns against the Ruan Dynasty failed, which is very similar to Zhuge Liang of the Han Dynasty.
, the five Northern Expeditions all returned without success. He died before leaving the army, which made the hero burst into tears!
When Emperor Guangwu heard that his old rival Zheng Jie had died of illness, he couldn't help but sigh, "He is also a hero!"
The author of "Qingdu Ci" said:
The confrontation between the north and the south continues.
