Chapter 859 Burning the Harbor

The bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty did not pay much attention to the lives of the people, but at least some of them were good officials, so it was different in Annan.

Their dynasty changes sold more than the Central Plains dynasty. In their long-term life, these people also formed a habit, that is, the common people are similar to dogs.

"My lord has nothing to hesitate. Although there is only a certain chance that the Ming army is supplying through the sea, if we do not move, the attack from the previous two days will immediately attack. If we destroy Haifang Port, it will be equivalent to destroying the next transportation channel of the Ming army. Perhaps they have no intention of winning, and it is possible to withdraw directly."

No one was capable when he came up with his ideas. Now that the people are harming each other, one is more capable than the other. In their eyes, even if there is only one percent chance, they should try it. As for the survival of these tens of thousands of fishermen, it is not their consideration at all.

The others also looked at Ruan Zhixiong with an urgent look on their faces. They didn't want to go back to the battle two days ago. If they really wanted to go back, it would be a fatal thing for them.

"How much can we take out our military rations without affecting our normal use."

Ruan Zhixiong has made a decision, but he still has some sympathy for the people. It is completely different from the people under his command, otherwise he would not have asked about the amount of food stored.

After listening to his subordinates' reports, Ruan Zhixiong made up his mind that the food here could be eaten by these ordinary people for half a month.

Moreover, Annan has had good weather and a lot of food is stored in the rear, which can be transported over at any time. The fishermen's jobs are smashed, and the army is responsible for feeding them. I believe these people will not have any other complaints.

"I immediately find out the five thousand cavalrymen. I will take my men over here. I must destroy the Haifang Port first. Even if this matter is done wrong, I will personally apologize to His Majesty the King."

After Ruan Zhixiong finished speaking, the people below immediately went to summon the army. In addition to these army, they also had to bring some tung oil and other things.

Otherwise, it would be a more troublesome thing to burn the entire port. Although the entire port is made of wooden structure, it is very humid because of some facilities built on the sea.

"Then are the troops along the way resisting the Ming army?"

Ruan Zhixiong was about to go out, but the general below thought of this. Ruan Zhixiong also patted his forehead and was busy with Haifang Port. He actually forgot about the land.

I also arranged a lot of troops along the way, of course, not to defend the Haidang Port, but to expand the Ming army and set up sniper points in every direction.

"It is useless to tell them not to resist. Our reconnaissance soldiers also said that this army carries a lot of weapons and ammunition. If they resist strongly, they will probably lose it. They ordered them to retreat to Haifang Port as quickly as possible and assist the local army in destroying the entire port. Before we arrive, we must see the fire there, otherwise I will throw them all into the sea to feed the fish."

Ruan Zhixiong's decision was a great help to Mu Xianliang. If these people tried their best to resist on the road, they would definitely delay Mu Xianliang and the others' time. Now Ruan Zhixiong had another idea in his mind, of course he could not let his army die.

In his opinion, if thousands of soldiers really want to resist along the way, there will be no need for these people to stay alone.

It would be better to let them do something meaningful. The lives of the soldiers here are also life. The current losses have caused a stir in the Annan court, mainly because there was no such great loss before.

Under controllable conditions, try to make the soldiers here lose less, which is what Ruan Zhixiong thought.

Another thing is that the general said just now that the Ming Dynasty must have changed its strategy, and maritime transportation may be a very important part of them.

As long as the entire Haifang Port is burned, the Ming army may not be able to gain a foothold here. Even if they leave behind a small number of soldiers, as long as they do not continue to attack, it will be a good thing for us.

It is very likely that the war will end, so why bother to get so many outstanding soldiers?

One order after another was sent out quickly. Mu Xianliang and the others had already left the military camp for more than ten miles. According to the original estimate, at least two groups of people had to attack them.

But the problem is that since they came out, they have not fired a single bullet except for fire reconnaissance, and there is no living person in the abandoned Annan stronghold.

At the beginning, Mu Xianliang was afraid that there were any traps in these military camps and did not allow his subordinates to enter, so he went around directly.

But later a soldier accidentally entered and nothing was wrong with him. So Mu Xianliang ordered a small number of soldiers to search the military camp, and found that these people were retreating in a hurry and many supplies were not taken away at all.

What happened in Annan Kingdom? These soldiers clearly occupied a very good position. If they were to attack the Ming army in this position, it would cause certain damage to the Ming army.

Of course, the next counterattack of the Ming army would also cost them their lives, but no matter how powerful the counterattack was, the Annan Army would not be able to escape, right?

After fighting for so long on the land of Annan Kingdom, Mu Xianliang also knows these people. Although they look at the weapons they have, these people have very strong fighting will. Sometimes they are bare-handed, so it is not true that they are afraid that we will retreat.

"Order the army to move on!"

Even if he couldn't figure out the situation here, Mu Xianliang could not stop and investigate the surrounding area. According to the news that the court came, the fleet had already departed from Nanjing.

At most, we can reach Haifang Port in three or four days. We don’t have that much time now and we must keep this port in our own hands. If all the facilities are damaged, it will be useless if the ship comes.

The third, the fourth... The seventeenth...
