He has always been very loyal to himself, and his water fighting talent is very high.

During Zhu Han's voyage to the West, Lan Yu was basically the land war general, Zhang Dingbian was the water war general, and Chen Baodao was the personal guard.

"There must be defenses in Monkey's port." Zhu Han said calmly.

"Let me tell you, Your Highness, the Annan monkeys do have some defenses here. According to the spies' reports, they seem to have deployed more than a dozen large iron cannons!" Zhang Dingbian said.

It has to be said that although the Vietnamese Chen Dynasty was a bit arrogant, they were always very positive in their learning attitude. Whether it was the Song Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty, many technologies were learned from them.

For example, the tactic of using artillery to control the water surface only emerged in the Ming Dynasty, and the Chen Dynasty had already started to learn it.

It's just that Monkey's artillery casting technology is really backward.

Zhu Han felt that the range of their artillery might not be as good as the artillery on his own ship.

"It's just a chicken and a dog. Go in and attack the fort first! Then attack the city!" Zhu Han gave the order to start the war without hesitation.

Rumble!

Boom!

Bursts of artillery sounds rang out on the dark night sea.

The Ming army's warships had a large displacement, and the artillery on them had a maximum caliber of thirty-six pounds, which was enough to destroy ordinary fortifications.

What's more, Annan's coastal fortifications are all made of rammed earth, and they never thought of long-range attacks at sea.

The Ming army's artillery was so powerful that it hit the Annan Army fortress on the seaside in the first round.

The broken bricks and stones caused the defenders to wake up screaming from their sleep!

"ah!"

"what happened!"

"The pirates are coming?!"

The soldiers of Annan Kingdom were all confused.

but.

The Ming army would not give them much time to react.

The second round of artillery bombardment came soon.

Rumble!

Boom boom!

Different from the first round of artillery, all the artillery this time fell from high in the sky.

Strips of incendiary mortar bombs like the tails of comets first rose into the sky, and then fell headlong.

Annan's fortifications could not stop the mortar shells falling from the sky.

The fierce flames quickly destroyed the few forts in Annan Kingdom.

"Hahaha, so enjoyable!"

Zhang Dingbian laughed loudly, and seeing that the Ming army's attack was going extremely smoothly, he directly ordered the Ming army's warships to use full firepower.

Artillery, large and small, immediately reduced the Annan army's defense to ashes.

Annan's army was in chaos!

The huge sound immediately spread to Dongxing City.

Thang Long City, the capital of the Annan Kingdom, is hundreds of miles away from the seaside. After passing through Thang Long City, the Dongxing River enters the sea outside Dongxing City on the seaside.

Zhu Han's current location is still hundreds of miles away from Annan Shenglong City.

The first step is to occupy Dongxing City, and then send shallow-draft warships along the Dongxing River to seize Thang Long City.

The Ming army's artillery not only destroyed the Annan army's fortifications, but also completely destroyed their morale.

Without seeing the enemy, Annan's army had already suffered more than 30% casualties, and the morale of the entire army had completely collapsed.

Before the Annan officials and soldiers in Dongxing City could figure out what was going on, they were captured by the Ming army who landed and made a surprise attack.

"Kneel down!"

"Don't cry!"

Zhu Han entered Dongxing City under the escort of Ming army soldiers. Dozens of Annan officials were tied up and led over to kneel down.

With the help of the light of the torch, Zhu Han quickly saw clearly that all these Annan officials were in a state of confusion.

"Which of you has the highest official position?" Zhu Han asked, looking at the prisoners kneeling on the ground.

The officials of Annan Kingdom have all learned a lot about the Central Plains culture. Whoever learns well will be highly valued by the Annan royal family in Annan Kingdom.

Therefore, not only can each of them understand Chinese characters, but they also have a good level of Chinese language skills and do not need any translation at all.

"The villain is Li Zhixing, the pacifier of Dongxing..."

Under questioning from the Ming army, a frightened Annan official said.

The official system of the Annan Kingdom was learned from the Song Dynasty. The senior officials of the Anlan Kingdom all used the official titles of the Central Plains dynasty, such as Taishi and Taifu, while at the local level, they used the names of pacifiers, county magistrates, etc.

The Dongxing pacifier in front of him, Li Zhixing, is the highest official of Annan State here.

"The King of Annan, Chen Wang, is arrogant and rebellious, and has offended the might of heaven. Now that the soldiers have arrived, the rebels of Annan will surely die without a burial place!"

"I am not allowed to see Annan's life in ruins and the people suffering from war. You immediately issue a notice. As long as the loyal people in Dongxing City are willing to follow the Ming Dynasty to defeat Chen Wang's rebels, all sins will not only be forgotten, but each person will be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 yuan.

, all the seizures on the battlefield belong to these people!"

Zhu Han said loudly in front of these Annan prisoners.

Dongxing City is very close to the sea. If it can be controlled by the Ming army, it will be a very good base.
