When these people said this, they suddenly heard Hu Hancang say: "Our army cannot completely annihilate the left army of the Ming Dynasty. If they are given one night, they can set up a camp enough for an army of 150,000 to rest. Even if there is kerosene, , artillery, it is impossible to defeat them in one blow; and it is getting late now, for the sake of safety, He Rong will not let the rest of the soldiers land tonight, so we can only attack these Ming troops now in order to annihilate them." Hearing this Although the flattering Hu Hancang is a little intoxicated, he still has basic discernment skills and still will not accept complete nonsense.
What's more, it is his father who is in charge of Dayu now. Although he is the emperor, he is not much different from his son emperor. If Dayu was not facing a life and death threat now, Hu Ji Ya would probably not allow him to leave the capital alone to lead the army. .
The people who were flattering him were busy talking. Maybe some of them thought that there was still the Supreme Emperor Hu Jiya in the Western Capital City, and they did not dare to flatter Hu Hancang anymore.
Moreover, Hu Hancang didn't care to listen to their flattery at this time. Annan's elite had already walked to the short fence of the Ming army. The twelve cannons that Hu Hancang had temporarily pulled over from Yi'an City had begun to roar. He stared closely at them. He followed the Ming army's camp and never missed it for a moment.
After all, Annan is a small country, and cannons have only been developed since last year, so there are not many barrels and shells. The roaring cannons stopped after firing a few rounds. Then, five thousand Annan elites rushed through the gap. Got in.
…
…
Kitabi Genshin and Kusunoki Kasawa led the samurai whom they trusted most and who had been with them more than ten years ago to surround me. They listened to what the people in front of them were saying with very ugly expressions.
"I'm here to do something. Cao commanded the army and the Fusang army immediately went to block the gap to the east." A guard next to Cao Tai said to me who was being protected.
I came to look to the east together with Kusunoki Fangze and Beibi Yuanxin. Because there were many fences and wood that had been burned before, it was the place where the Annan people chose to rush in.
The soldiers stationed there just now were Semu people. After Cao Tai discovered that the Annan people had chosen to rush in from the east, he tried to organize the Semu people as quickly as possible. However, the fire there was too hot and it has not been completely extinguished. Bombarded by artillery, the remaining Semu people were, in game terms, extremely poorly organized. When the Annamites rushed in, most of them collapsed. Most of them were killed or surrendered, and only a handful of soldiers persisted in resisting.
Cao Tai could only look for other troops that could block it until the ships returned to pick up their retreat. Although the elephant guards had basically restored order at this time, he was still unwilling to use the Han army to rear.
At this time, he discovered the Fuso Army, which was also in very neat formation, so he sent his bodyguards to convey the order.
The three of them all understood that blocking the Annan people at this time would not allow them to withdraw to the ships even if they could wait until those ships came back. This would be tantamount to being at the rear of the entire army.
I lowered my head as I came, remained silent, and did not agree to the guard's words. The guard immediately said, "Why, do you have to disobey me even if I come?"
"You..." Kusunoki Fangze was furious. He was about to rebuke the guard, but when I said something in Japanese, he lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.
When I arrived, I immediately said to the guard in front of me: "I understand. Please rest assured, Commander Cao. As long as one person in our Fusang Army is still alive, we will never let any Annan people approach the seaside."
"Please, Mr. Qianshi." The guard saw from my eyes that what he said was not casual, so he couldn't help but bow and salute.
I returned the courtesy and said: "I only hope that when the rescue ship arrives, if there are still people alive in our Fusang army, Commander Cao can send the rest of the army to the rear to save our last bones and blood."
"Don't worry, Mr. Qianshi, Commander Cao will definitely rescue you when the time comes." The guard knew that Cao Tai would at least rescue me, so he said this.
After the soldiers who delivered the order left, I turned around and said to Kitabi Genshin and Kusunoki Fangzawa: "I wanted to lead you to make great achievements in Annan. I didn't ask for great success, but at least I wanted to give you good food and clothing for the rest of your lives.
, now it seems that it is impossible.”
"My lord, please don't say that. It is the honor of our warriors to dedicate ourselves to your lord. But my lord, your safety is more important than the lives of all our warriors. Lord, please board the rescue ship as soon as it arrives."
." Kitabi Genshin and Kusunoki Fangze said.
It is the honor of us warriors to sacrifice our lives for the Lord. The Lord's safety is more important than the lives of all our warriors. Please come on board as soon as the rescue ship arrives." All the warriors who heard what they said
Said in unison.
I was about to say something more when I came and said with a smile: "The Semu people are finished, it's time for our Fuso warriors to perform. This is the performance of our Fuso warriors since they helped Silla resist the invasion of the Tang Empire on the Korean Peninsula more than 700 years ago.
When fighting overseas for the first time, we must let the Ming people and Annan people know how powerful the Fuso warriors are."
"Fang Ze, do you still remember what your ancestor Nan Gong said to Ji Gong before he became loyal?"
"Remember." Kusunoki Fangzawa said: "What is the meaning of death in this world?" (It is said that people are reincarnated with thoughts of death. What are you thinking about?)
"Seven reincarnations are born in the human world, and the enemies of the Ashikaga clan are destroyed. (I only wish that I would be born in the human world seven times, eradicate the enemies of the Ashikaga clan, and serve the emperor.)" Kitana Genshin continued.
.
"The sin is deep, and the sin is the same. (Although the sin is serious, I also have this wish.)" Kusunoki Fangzawa finally shouted loudly: "? しちしょうほうこく!"
All the Fuso people also shouted: "しちしょうほうこく!" Then they held samurai swords and rushed over to fight with the Annan soldiers.
…
…
When Hu Hancang arrived at the observation point very close to the battlefield, he noticed the Fusang Army. This army was dressed in rags and did not look like the regular army of the Ming Dynasty at all; but the knives in their hands were very sophisticated, and they were not ordinary goods at first glance.
There were not even soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. He had been guessing who this army was composed of.
When he heard their shouts, Hu Hancang was very surprised and said: "Are they speaking Chinese? Why can't I understand them? Where's the dialect?"
Hu Hancang was just talking to himself, but unexpectedly, one of the people who were flattering him said: "Your Majesty, they are not speaking Chinese, they are speaking Fusang dialect, which means seven lives to serve the country."
"Fusang language? Seven lives to serve the country?" Hu Hancang turned around and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, this is what a man named Masashige Kusunoki from the Fuso Kingdom said before he died. Masashige Kusunoki was a famous loyal minister of the Fuso Kingdom decades ago. This man loyally protected Fuso Empress Daigo, the king, in his country.
When the ministers imitated Dong Zhuo in abolishing the throne, he raised troops to serve the king... Before the final battle, Kusunoki Masashige knew that the battle would be defeated, but in order to repay the favor of King Daigo after Fuso, he was determined to fight to the end. In the end, he had less than a hundred men and was defeated.
The rebels are surrounding us."
"According to the Buddhist scriptures, there are nine worlds: Buddha, Bodhisattva, Pratyekabuddha, Sound Hearer, Heaven, Human World, Asura, Animals, Hungry Ghosts and Hell. At this time, Kusunoki Masashige asked his brother Masaki: 'The world of human beings
Life is liberated based on one thought at the time of death. Which realm among the nine realms (not including the Buddha realm) do you want to be reborn in?'"
"'My only wish is to be reincarnated in the human world seven times, to destroy the enemies of the imperial court and serve the emperor.' Zhengji said with a laugh."
"'You and I, who are so sinful, think so! In that case, let's change our lives together to realize our long-cherished wish!" Zhengcheng said with a very happy expression.
"The two brothers immediately stabbed each other to death. Then thirteen members of Kusunoki Masashige's clan and sixty of his subordinates committed suicide one after another. The rebels were also very moved by Masashige's behavior and sent someone to take his body back to his hometown for burial."
After hearing what this man said, Hu Hancang was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said: "He is indeed a loyal minister. If all my subordinates can be as loyal as Kusunoki Masaki, why worry that Annan is not a rival of the Ming Dynasty? Even if the population of the Ming Dynasty is less than mine
Annan is ten times more powerful, how can I be afraid?"
"My loyalty to Your Majesty will never be inferior to Masashige Kusunoki's." All the ministers knelt down and said.
"I know your loyalty, please all get up." Although Hu Hancang didn't believe what they said at all, he still said kindly.
When they all got up, Hu Hancang said a few more words to them and turned to look at the battlefield.
At this time, the Fuso Army was fighting fiercely with the Annan soldiers on the battlefield. After a fight with the Semu people, although these Annan soldiers were elite, their formations were also a bit scattered. They had been in the Ming Dynasty for several years and had learned the military formation method
I came to seize the opportunity and cut into the Annamite formation.
At this time, the war was dragged into a rhythm that the Fusang people were more comfortable with. Because Fusang's territory is small and its social structure is similar to that of the West, the two sides did not send many troops in each war. Thousands of people killed each other and it was already a big battle.
, tens of thousands of people fighting would not happen unless a major event like the Mongol invasion could gather all the warriors from across the country.
Therefore, this kind of battle between thousands of people is what the Fuso people are most comfortable with. In addition, since they have practiced martial arts since they were young, their single-person combat capabilities are better than those of the Annan elite. Although the number of people is slightly smaller, they actually gained the upper hand for a while.
Hu Hancang saw a well-dressed Fusang man waving a big sword in his hand, killing two Annan warriors with one chop and another, and then rushing towards the third man with a sword. At this time, an Annan soldier happened to be behind him, standing up.
He picked up the spear and was about to plunge it into his back.
But at this moment, another Fuso man shouted, picked up a short knife from the ground, and threw it at the Annan soldier. The Annan soldier turned around to avoid the short knife, but was immediately struck by the Fuso man who turned around.
into two halves.
At this time, Hu Hancang noticed that the martial arts of these Fusang people were almost exactly the same. All of them held three-foot-long swords in their hands, and they were all of the same style. They basically chopped off, and they often cut off half of the Annan soldiers in one go.
The scene was very bloody, but these Fusang people didn't care.
"Who are these Fusang people? If I hadn't selected all the elites, I'm afraid that the whole army would have been unable to withstand such a situation and collapsed. But even if it didn't collapse, relying on the large number of people to wipe out all the Fusang people, it would still be possible.
How many people can be left?”
Hu Hancang's heart was bleeding. These five thousand Annan soldiers were elites carefully selected by him and his father Hu Jiya. They usually had better food and clothing than ordinary officials. If all these soldiers died in the battle, they would It would take five or six years to train such a soldier from scratch. But now, here, they are actually outnumbering the Fuso people at a ratio of three to two.
"Quick, haven't you found any information about the Fuso people in the collected information?" He turned to another person and said.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Your Majesty, please wait a moment." The man was sweating profusely and looking through various documents in his hand.
Hu Hancang looked painfully at the thousands of soldiers fighting on the battlefield, and at the same time kept turning back to urge this man; soon he became impatient, and when he was about to grab all the documents and read them himself, this man He picked up a document and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have found it."
Hu Hancang snatched the document from his hand, turned it over and read the entire document at a glance, and said in despair: "The Ming general actually thought that more than 2,000 Ming soldiers could defeat more than 2,000 Fusang." People? Have these people been kicked in the head by a donkey!" The elite soldiers in his hands are not much worse than the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are much stronger than the ordinary soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. If they are one-on-one, they are no match for these people. They actually think so.
"When we survive this battle, I will send people to Fusang to recruit warriors." Hu Hancang said again. These Fusang warriors were so capable of fighting and so loyal, and he was moved.
But the most important thing now was to defeat them. He immediately put down the paperwork and paid attention to the battlefield.
"Although they are very powerful, we should finally win. We can annihilate all these Fusang people before our eyes. However, it would be great if we could persuade a few to surrender." Hu Hancang said this, and his expression just softened when he suddenly caught a glimpse. On the sea surface, his face suddenly became ugly again.
…
…
Hu Hancang was right. Although the Fuso warriors fought bravely, there were only a few people after all. Even if they could exchange at a ratio of two to three at the beginning, as the number of people became smaller and smaller, the number of Annan soldiers who could surround and kill a Fuso warrior at the same time became smaller and smaller. There were more and more people, from two or three people against one person at the beginning, to four, five or even six or seven people against one person.
Kusunoki Fatazawa struggled to kill five of the ten people who besieged him, and forced the rest back, and reunited with Kitana Gennobu and others.
"My lord, we have less than 500 people left. The Annan people still have nearly 3,000 people, and we can no longer support them. Your lord, please break out of the encirclement and leave." Kusunoki Fangze said loudly.
"Break through? Where to break out?" Kitabi Genshin said.
"To the place where the Han people gather at the seaside! Your Majesty, we have been holding on for so long, and the rescue ship should be back. I and Genshin will gather the remaining warriors to fight a bloody path for your Majesty!" Kusunoki Fangzawa said anxiously .
