"Niu Human (Ailao) sent troops, Chen Chaoxin led his army to block Niu Human and died. Chen Riyu had to abandon Zhan Po's army and advance westward to resist Niu Human..."

When Li Luo received the news, he was immediately overjoyed.

"As expected, Ai Lao really sent troops! What I worry about the most is Chen Riyu. Now Chen Riyu is advancing westward, Chen Chaoxin is defeated and killed, and the Vietnamese army has reduced its strength and can advance!"

All the generals were very happy and said together, "The general is completely up to date, but famous generals have only been like this."

Li Luo was really happy because he received another news that made him more concerned. Tang Jun had already succeeded in Champo, and he made a fortune again.

"Send the order! Pass through the jungle and attack Kuaizhou!" Li Luo ordered.

For the Yuan army, Kuaizhou was the best to fight, which was relatively conducive to cavalry operations. Because Kuaizhou was the easiest to be broken through, Chen Riyi personally took charge.

However, in order to clean up the messy stall, Chen Riyan had to beat Niu Human like a firefighter. After beating Zhan Po, he went to beat Niu Human himself.

Annan said that there were still 300,000 to 400,000 troops, but since Jiangbei was defeated twice, the most elite imperial guards had only 170,000 to 180,000, and the others were rural troops. Faced with the robbery of Niu Human and Zhan Po, Chen Riyan, who was the best at using troops, could only help the emergency.

Because only Chen Riyan can solve the problem of Zhan Po and Niu Human in the shortest time and end the embarrassment of the Vietnamese army's multi-line combat.

If other generals were replaced, such as Chen Chaoxin, who died in battle, had weaker abilities, the Vietnamese army would not only not be able to end the multi-line battle as soon as possible, but would even be constantly bleeding.

Chen Riyi hoped that Kuaizhou City would be kept for a while, and persisted until he defeated Nanyi and Xiliao, and then returned to the army to guard the army.

Li Luo hopes to capture Kuaizhou before Chen Riyan returns from defeating Xi Liao.

Once Kuaizhou was broken, the entire Hong'an defense line was destroyed, and the Yuan army could no longer be stopped from running rampantly in the middle of the country.

If Chen Riyi rushed back before Kuaizhou fell, then Li Luo's difficulties in conquering Kuaizhou would greatly increase.

Chen Riyan is definitely the general Li Luo dares to underestimate the most.

After the Yuan army stayed for nearly ten days, they finally launched an attack.

At the same time, Li Luo sent someone to send a letter to Shi Bi of the Jiangbei camp, asking him to start searching for the jungle west of Anxing City and implementing a cage policy.

It was already April, with the turbulent weather, the weather was stuffy, snakes and insects were rampant, and there were more miasma.

But to the surprise of the Yue army, there was no outbreak of disease in the Yuan army, and there was no situation where a large number of soldiers were not accustomed to the local environment.

Compared with the previous two southern expeditions, the Yuan army led by Li Luo was not affected too much by the geographical climate.

This is another important reason why all the generals admire Li Luo.

It turned out that since entering Annan, Li Luo has strictly prohibited drinking raw water. He required the water to be boiled in the form of military orders and used grass ash powder to make light alkaline water.

Wood ash water has the effects of sterilizing, regulating the stomach and intestines, removing dampness and removing blood stasis. In addition, it is also burned water. This move alone greatly inhibits the occurrence of unacceptable conditions in the water and the soil.

The ancients were accustomed to drinking raw water. This habit lasted until the 20th century. Especially when the soldiers who went out to the expedition and went out to the hot areas almost all drank raw water.

Can this not get sick?

The so-called "family" in adapting to the local environment is mostly because of this.

In the jungle areas in the southern region, the types and numbers of microorganisms are far greater than those in the north. Rivers and streams look clear and cute, but in fact there are a large number of microorganisms, insect eggs and bacteria that are invisible to the naked eye.

The locals have long had antibodies, and it’s okay to drink them, but once outsiders drink such water, they will “not adapt to the local environment.”

Why do people from the south go to the north, except for feeling cold in winter, nothing happened. But people from the north often don’t adapt to the environment when they go to the south?

This is the main reason.

The so-called miasma is actually not poisonous gas, but the humidity in the jungle is too heavy, the rotten and fermented gas is too much, and it contains a large amount of bacteria and harmful substances.

Moreover, mosquitoes are like numb in the southern jungle, and they are hard to prevent, and mosquitoes carry bacteria and viruses.

In this way, if the northern army without antibodies comes here, it will be "epidemic".

So, Li Luo took another move and burned the fire.

In addition to each camp in the camp, a fire must be burned. A large number of fires are burned, and although it is hotter, it can also drive away the moisture.

Li Luo also ordered that when he encountered thick fog during the march, he had to cover his mouth and nose with a wet cloth.

Another epidemic military camp was established. Anyone who gets sick because of this will be sent to the epidemic military camp, which is a simple means of isolation.

After a few moves, the impact of miasma and disagreement on the Yuan army was greatly weakened.

This was obviously something Annan people did not expect. Even Chen Riyan thought that the Yuan army was beginning to become unacceptable.

Therefore, the Yuan army's attack was so fierce that the next few days exceeded the expectations of all Annan people. What the Annan people even unexpected was that there were tens of thousands of Yue traitors under Li Luo's command.

As the owner of the Special Inspection Bureau, how could Li Luo not know the importance of keeping confidentiality? Under his strict defense, it was difficult for the Vietnamese army to detect the situation in the Yuan army. On the contrary, Li Luo's eyes were found in all important towns in Annan.

As early as last year, the Special Inspection Bureau launched its intelligence work on Annan. Any important news from Annan from the court to the army could not be hidden from Li Luo.

The intelligence of both sides is completely asymmetric.

At the order of Li Luo, the surrendered generals of the Vietnamese army led 40,000 New Vietnamese troops into the jungle first, and Li Luo personally led 100,000 troops to march along the forest road opened by the Vietnamese army.

Why don’t you walk on the official road and have to walk on the jungle?

Because the passes in the official road are all built in places where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Vietnamese army has arranged heavy troops. Even if it is attacked hard, the casualties will not be small. Moreover, there are more than one pass. If several passes are captured, the Yuan army will probably have to spend tens of thousands of lives to fill it. How can they have the power to attack Kuaizhou?

It’s too unsubstantiable, and it’s not good for good generals.

There will definitely be casualties when crossing the jungle, but at least it will not be as heavy as hard attacks on obstacles.

On the second day of April, the Yuan army chose the Pulai Forest as the direction, like a giant dragon plunging into the vast forest.

It was not until this time that the Vietnamese army's exploration determined the direction of the Yuan army's march, which was the Pulai Mountains.

According to Chen Riyi's military strategy, once the direction of the Yuan army was determined, the mobile troops in the entire Hong'an defense zone must move and gather in the direction of the Yuan army's advance, and the Yuan army must not be able to form a force advantage in some areas.

As the Yuan army entered the Pulai Mountains, the Vietnamese troops in the east and west were mobilized and slowly gathered in the direction of the Yuan army, like a huge net.

After the Yuan army entered the jungle, the most vulnerable cavalry in the jungle was no longer in power, and Li Luo himself was also protected by the three thousand chieftain barbarians.

Once they entered the jungle, the originally fierce Yuan cavalry was caught blindly. The Mongolian army and the Red Army of the Ma Ma became hesitant, while the former inconspicuous chieftains and the Vietnamese traitors were still alive.

If the Yuezhi Army causes chaos at this time, it will be a big trouble. Fortunately, Li Luo has taken a series of measures recently, and it is difficult for the Yuezhi Army to cause chaos.

The New Vietnamese army had tens of households, and the surrendered general Wu E led 10,000 troops to walk in the front. He shouted while rushing to the road, "Everyone is careful when the Chen army attacks, you will be careful! When the cruel and unkind Chen court is overthrown, everyone will have benefits, and at the worst they can share the land of the kings!"

Is the Chen family's court cruel and unkind?

This is nonsense.

Chen Taizong had only been dead for a few years and was a famous wise ruler in Annan history.

This person is very capable. His son Chen Huang did a good job. He said that they were cruel and unkind, but it was just an excuse to be more traitorous.

"That's true! Since everyone has shaved their hair, they are the Great Yuan Heavenly Soldiers. If you want to be a good army, you will always get the benefits!" Another surrendered general also echoed.

Because the weather was hot, Wu Er took off his helmet, stroked the shaved scalp on his head, and laughed and said, "It's really cool, this shaving is so cool. Although it's a bit ugly, it's not that there's no benefit."

"Isn't that true? Otherwise, how do you say that hair tied up with scarves, bad rules of the country, braided hair, and the Great Yuan Yazheng. General, for some reason, since he shaved his hair and kept his braids, his subordinates seemed to feel more brave and fearless."

The words the two said were of course for the supervisors who were placed in the New Vietnamese army. But these words were actually what they thought.

Once a person betrays his own country, his shamelessness will have no bottom line. Without others instigating him, they will find a lot of excuses for themselves.

The terrain in the jungle area is actually relatively flat, not in the mountains, and in some places it is even flat. However, due to the extremely lush vegetation, the forest is densely filled with vines, trees cover the sky, and leaves are like mud, making it very difficult for the army to move.

Almost marched while opening the road.

The mosquitoes in the forest were colorful and densely filled with flowers. Even the chieftains and the traitors of Yue, who had been used to it, were also very troublesome.

Fortunately, there are many people, so there are not many mosquitoes that everyone "gets".

Various snakes are hung on trees and plated in grass, and in some places they are even clustered with balls. Ants with big fingers, red centipedes with long chopsticks, and nests of them.

All of this, the fierce Mongolian soldiers got goosebumps. These men from the north felt a little relieved.

But the methods of the chieftain barbarians are completely different.

Many barbarians directly grabbed the snake, broke through the snake's belly, took out the snake's gallbladder and swallowed it with blood. They even bit off the snake's head and drank the blood, peeled off the snake's skin and stuffed it into their mouths to chew it.

There are also many barbarians who marching while catching centipedes, and they are wearing them together and are said to be roasted and eaten.

All this not only made the Mongolian soldiers feel numb, but even the Vietnamese traitors were ashamed of themselves.

When it comes to jungle combat, the most powerful one is definitely not the Annan soldiers, the descendants of the Han people, but the southwestern chieftain barbarian soldiers.

You should know that the food of many barbarian soldiers is snakes and insects. They have lived in humid and hot mountainous areas for generations, and their stomachs are no worse than wild boars.

"It's really a tiger in the forest!" Li Luo couldn't help but say to the chieftain Nonglang for fear.

Although Nong Lang was a little satisfied, he was also a little ashamed. As a barbarian nobleman, he could not be as rude as the barbarian soldiers under his command. He could not swallow the centipede no matter what.

Although the chieftain is the chief of the barbarian tribe, he is completely different from the suffering barbarians and people.

Seeing the performance of the chieftain barbarians, Li Luo couldn't help but feel more confident.

The birds and beasts in the forest had been scared to escape from a distance. A python as thick as a sea bowl was immediately killed by the barbarians because they escaped a little slowly.

Soon, a snake gall the size of an egg was sent to Li Luo.

Nong Lang smiled and said, "General, such a big snake gall is rare. The boys respect the general and want to present the snake gall to the general."

Li Luo said, "Then thank the men." He asked his personal guards to take over the heavy snake gall, and then generously rewarded several barbarian soldiers.

Although such a big snake gall is a good thing, Li Luo is actually not rare. Because there are also many pythons in the mountains of Haidong.

After entering the forest for a long time, the team in front suddenly stopped.

It turned out that I had encountered a swamp area. The swamp area was dozens of miles wide, and it would take at least two more days to walk around and I could only walk through it.

Moreover, even if you go around, you will encounter other swamps.

"General, there is a swamp river in front of it, and there are many evil dragons (crocodiles) inside, but it is not difficult to kill them. The quagmire is not too deep, it only reaches the chest, but it can pass by, but it is too dirty." Wu E came to report.

Li Luo knew that the swamp could not escape, but he couldn't stand it by having to endure the dirty and stinky swamp mud. Who knew if there was rotten meat, rotten bones, etc. inside, it would be disgusting to think about it.

"General Wu, let's fill a way out by logging wood. The army cannot wading through the quagmire." Li Luo ordered.

Although this will take half a day, it is the safest thing to do.

"No...zha! The last general will take the order!" Wu Er said, "General, there must be Chen army defense in the jungle opposite the swamp river. Their number will not be too large, but the terrain is not good for me. Please pay attention to the general."

Li Luo nodded and said, "What the general said, I know. Go!"

"twitter!"

Soon, tens of thousands of Vietnamese soldiers cut wood together and threw the wood into the mud.

The quagmire was rolling everywhere, and evil dragons (crocodiles) more than half a foot long climbed out of the quagmire, poked out their hideous heads, and then panicked in the mud and fled, bringing out a stench of decay and stinking to vomit.

The Vietnamese traitor army was not surprised and was too lazy to kill these evil dragons, just jumping into the woods to fill the road.

"General, if our army cannot travel through the jungle within two days, the army will inevitably get sick." Nonglang said terrified. He pointed at the Mongolian and the Red Army of Dissident, "especially the warriors of the Northern Army, I am afraid they can't stand it."

Li Luo turned around and saw that the Mongolian soldiers were sweating profusely. Even Yesu Dier, who had always been energetic, was silent at this time.

After only half a day of entering the forest, the Mongolian army was like this. If they couldn't get out of the forest within two days, what would they be in?

According to the distance, even if you only walk thirty miles in the forest a day, you can go out in two days. But if you encounter strong obstacles from the Vietnamese army, that is another matter.

Fortunately, the Vietnamese army did not know which direction the Yuan army chose to advance in advance. The Vietnamese army's forces were scattered throughout the Hong'an defense zone, and the Yuan army had a local advantage in the area along the march.

This is also the sorrow of the defensive side. No matter how many troops you have in defense, you don’t know where the attacking side will break through.

Tens of thousands of people logged wood to fill the road, and half a day later, a wooden bridge several meters wide was filled in the swamp.

Then the Yuan army formed a snake formation and crossed the swamp river.

Although the Vietnamese army in the surrounding jungle has been paying attention to the movements of the Yuan army, it cannot be stopped at all. Although the total number of Vietnamese army's jungle soldiers is large, there are only a few thousand people in the nearby ten miles. How can they be opponents of the Yuan army?

Although the Vietnamese troops from other places had been notified, when a large number of reinforcements rushed over, the Yuan gang probably had already passed through the jungle.

No, we must slow down the pace of the Yuan gang!

So, just as the vanguard of the Yuan army approached the other side of the swamp area, a large group of Vietnamese troops appeared in the jungle, preparing to block the Yuan army from crossing the swamp river.

"Kill the captives! Kill the Tartars!"

"Huh... Why is this Yuan Kou dressed like our army?"

"No! They are not Tartars, they are the Great Yue soldiers!"

"Fart! It's not the Great Yue soldiers, but the armor is the same as ours, but it has braids! It's the Tartars!"

"Seeing that the flag is not... Zhongyuan Xinyue Army! Damn, they surrendered to the Tartars and shaved their hair and braids!"

"They surrendered to Yuan... Kill them, kill them, kill them!"

The shouts of killing were rising one after another in the jungle on the other side, and I don’t know how many soldiers were there. The Vietnamese army used the jungle on the other side as a cover and shot poisonous arrows at the vanguard of the Yuan army that was about to get ashore.

"Ah! I was shot in an arrow!"

"Damn it!"

"kill!"

The vanguard of the Yuan army was of course the Vietnamese army. Seeing the poisoned arrows in the jungle, and when they heard the other side shouting to kill the rebels, they were also angry.

Wu Er, who was supervising the battle, raised his sword and shouted, "There are not many soldiers in Chen, but relying on the advantage of the territory! Don't shoot against them, rush ashore, fight into the forest! Kill!"

"Kill! rush up!" The surrendered generals of all sizes were holding swords in their hands, forcing the surrendered army to rush to the shore.

The brigade of New Vietnamese troops shouted and rushed towards the rain of arrows. Although there were casualties, they rushed up quickly because the distance was only ten meters.

They surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty because they were afraid of death. However, after shaved their hair, they were not as afraid of death as before. In fact, many Vietnamese soldiers abandoned the wooden bridge and jumped into the mud, waded in the stench of mud, and bravely rushed to the shore.

The Vietnamese army had only four or five thousand people on the other side. Although they had a good territory, how could they really block the impact of tens of thousands of Vietnamese traitors? They could only fight and retreat immediately.

"Eliminate all Chen army!" A surrendered general of the Qianhu-level Yue army, shouted. He cut off the head of a Yue army with one knife, and blood splashed on his braid. With a fierce and decisive expression, he looked like a real Tartar at this moment.

"Kill! Kill the thief!" The Vietnamese army used the trees in the forest as cover to fight with the increasingly large number of Vietnamese traitors.

As the Vietnamese army that went ashore and attacked the forest increased sharply, the Vietnamese army was outnumbered. Even if they did not retreat, they were quickly surrounded and killed.

In the jungle within a few miles, branches were shaking due to fierce fighting, and many trees were splashing blood.

Many Vietnamese troops climbed onto the trees and shot arrows from a high place. The Vietnamese traitors were also red in their eyes at this time, and they didn't care about all the feelings of the same clan, and even more mercilessly suppressed them.

The first fierce battle between the Yuan army in the jungle actually happened between Yueren and Yueren.

Li Luo was on the other side of the swamp river, surrounded by stars like the moon, sitting on a stool under Canglang Zhan, squinting his eyes and watching the battle with interest.

Because the jungle is covered, there is actually no battle at all, and only the battle can be heard. But just listening to the sound of the battle, you will know that the battle is tragic.

The Yuan army generals seemed to be gloating and overjoyed when they heard the wonderful music.

Because of the huge disparity between the masses, the fight ended in less than a quarter of an hour.

Thousands of Vietnamese troops were surrounded and killed, and only a hundred people fled.

The Vietnamese traitor army also suffered thousands of casualties.

The Yuan army finally successfully crossed the swamp river. Once they crossed the swamp river, they saw the villages hidden by trees and small rice fields.

Li Luo knew that this was the village of Annan’s “people in the forest”. The tribes in the forest lived in the jungle, mostly indigenous, which was different from the mainstream Annan people.

"General, there are many people in the forest in this jungle, all of whom are native barbarians, but they are also citizens of the Chen family. They have dug many traps and are ready to harass our army." Wu E found Li Luohui to report, "The last general plans to kill them all."

Wu E was very happy just now and his intention to make suggestions was in full swing.

Li Luo smiled and said, "Wu Wanhu is so loyal to the Yuan Dynasty, I will definitely report to the Emperor Ming to ask for merit for you. Even if you are a marquis, it is not impossible. Well, since you are familiar with this place, let me leave this matter to you!"

"No...zh!" Wu Er said happily.

Subsequently, the Vietnamese army searched for mountains and forests and killed the natives in the forest. They almost killed everyone when they saw each other, regardless of men, women, young and old. All the villages and houses of the people in the forest were burned down by the increasingly vicious Yue army.

There were more than a thousand natives in the forest who were searched for death.

The butcher's knife of the Yue traitor army cleared the radius of ten miles, and then the Yuan army camped in this bloody jungle.

The reason I chose to camp here is because this jungle is more comfortable than other places because it has been inhabited by natives. It does not have too many thorny vines and fewer mosquitoes.

I only walked over thirty miles today, and if it goes well tomorrow, I will be able to pass through this jungle.

In other words, as early as tomorrow evening, the Yuan army will be at the city of Kuaizhou!

It’s too hot. Please lend me a peak of ice and snow on Tanggula Mountain to eliminate the heat and bring coolness to my dear book friends, my dear book friends, my god.
Chapter completed!
