" Thanh Hoa City is the escape route for Annam Daluo City."

"If our Chinese army comes from Zhennan Pass, the Chen Dynasty of Daluo City will flee in panic and fight to the death..."

"You can retreat to the sea and let Chen run south."

Chang Sheng, the general of the Southern Expedition, had a solemn face, with a complicated expression of earnestness and tangle. Before commanding an army of 20,000 Jingwei and 20,000 Southern soldiers, and rushing to Nanguan, Daozhen, Guangxi, he expressed his gratitude to the emperor, who was the supervisor of the Southern Expedition.

This is what Sun Zhu Yunxi warned.

And this passage happened half a month ago.

At this moment, on the Beibu Bay of Zhuchi with gentle breeze and few waves, giant ships are heading due west with full sails.

Fish and birds were flying above the sea, and there were warships carrying 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and thousands of sailors. The dragon flags and sun and moon flags representing the Ming Dynasty were fluttering in the wind.

The star flags representing the military camps and the auspicious animal flags are like a forest on the sea, decorating the entire sea with colors.

Taisun's Army Sima Zhu Gaochi walked from below the deck to the top of the deck with a worried look on his face.

I saw that Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Shangbing, who had put on thin scale armor, were no different from other lieutenant generals on the deck.

"On the day the general set out, Yunnan Dao had already sent 30,000 troops, led by Xiping Hou Muying, to attack and intimidate the Lao tribe."

Zhu Yunxi put down the Annan Zhucheng Distribution Map in his hand, looked at Zhu Gaochi, and frowned: "Things in the Lao Ministry are not as we expected?"

According to their military strategy deduction, the Lao tribe was hijacked by the Annan Chen Dynasty since they plundered Guangxi Road last year.

Like Annan, which has a wide plain, the Laos must be wild monkeys hiding in the mountains, in an advanced but primitive tribal state.

When Yunnan Road sent troops to the Lao tribe, the most important military strategic task was to create a sense of crisis in the Lao tribe, so that they would not dare to be asked by Annan to send troops to jointly resist the Ming army moving south from Zhennanguan.

As long as the Lao tribe dared to send troops to coordinate with Annan, Mu Ying would dare to lead his men to kill and burn all the Lao tribe's territory.

Following Zhu Yunxi's inquiry, the military commanders on the deck also looked over.

Obviously, in their opinion, the Lao people are not good enough. The only place for the southern expedition this time will be Annan...and after Annan was captured, Champa further south and the Great River Plain to the west.

Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly and said: "The Marquis of Xiping is in trouble, and the food route is blocked. Although the soldiers are all officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Guard, they are unable to guard against the endless ambushes of the Lao tribe."

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were full of doubts: "So, not only did the Lao tribe not send troops to support Annan, nor did they hide in the mountains farther away, but they gathered together to fight Xipinghou?"

"Do they dare!" Zhu Shangbing, who now led a thousand people, immediately mocked.

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes: "The Lao Ministry has already done this."

Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, immediately asked: "Now, how should the Marquis of Xiping respond? Can they retreat?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and nodded again: "The news was sent out a month ago. The general sent troops and sent them here. No one knows what the situation is in Yunnan at the moment. But based on Xiping Hou's past experience in commanding troops, I think he

They will choose to retreat temporarily and maintain a coercive posture to entangle the Lao people."

Zhang Wen frowned and began to think deeply.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Is there any news from the general today?"

In the entire Zhuchi today, countless clippers travel between Changhua County, Guangxi Road and Taisun tribe's fleets every day, delivering the latest news from various places.

Fortunately, as the Ming Dynasty sent troops to conquer Annan, except for the Ming Dynasty's warships, there are almost no other ships on the entire Zhuchi.

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "A clipper ship just came over. The general's troops have already left Zhennan Pass. King Ning is the forward battalion. They advanced to ten miles in front of Langshan Pass. Then they stopped advancing. It seems to be the general's.

The Chinese army has military orders to go over there, what are you waiting for over there?"

"What are you waiting for?" Zhu Yunxi murmured as if to himself.

No one knew what Chang Sheng was waiting for, at least not Zhu Gaochi.

He could only wait where he was, waiting for Zhu Yunxi to make subsequent arrangements.

Zhu Yunxi waited for a long time before he said: "Is there any news from Jin Yiwei?"

It's too late, it's faster.

There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs below the deck.

Then I saw a man wearing a bamboo hat and the distinctive short-sleeved linen clothes from Annan, walking up with an embroidered spring knife on his waist.

After the royal guard who went to the Annan coastal area to spy on information rode on the deck, he knelt on one knee in front of Zhu Yunxi.

"Report to the great grandson, the royal guards will come to report."

Zhu Yunxi waved his sleeves and his expression became concentrated: "Say."

"Jinyiwei has now found out that there is no one in Jianchang City in Annan, and the next three cities are all empty. The gates of Qinghua City are closed. I don't know the details."

Empty city plan?

Annan's reaction left everyone puzzled for a moment.

Zhu Shangbing also hesitated and asked in a low voice: "So, do we want to capture Jianchang City and the next three cities? Or only Qinghua City?"

Dang Dang Dang.

At this time, a drumbeat came from the front of the fleet.

On the towering mast of the huge battleship that leads the way, a flexible and vigorous old sailor is holding the mast in one hand and a small flag in the other. His feet are symmetrical and fastened to the mast.

The small flags were waved continuously, forming groups of flags.

"We have arrived at the coast of Annan."

Zhu Gaochi glanced at the flag and shouted in surprise.

On the deck, everyone looked back to the front of the fleet.

In front of the battle flags, I saw a winding coastline and the undulating boundary between the earth and the sky, all telling the people that they had arrived at their destination.

"After arriving at the shore, we sent out a battalion of officers and soldiers, led by Marquis Jingchuan, and went out outside Jianchang City. After being unable to circle the city, they went south and stationed themselves on the north side of Qinghua City."

Zhu Yunxi, who belonged to the land of Jiaozhi Road in the future of the Ming Dynasty, looked shocked and ordered in a deep voice.

Army Sima Zhu Gaochi immediately accepted the order, and all the generals called him.

A few moments after the flagship, sailors climbed up the mast and issued a military order to send out a battalion of officers and soldiers, pass around Jianchang City, and go south to station in the north of Qinghua City.

Immediately, several warships sped forward on the left side of the fleet and docked at the unmanned dock on the seaside outside Jianchang City.

A whole battalion of officers and soldiers disembarked. Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen, dressed in military armor, stood in front of the pier to establish a defense line, while several teams of scouts roared into the depths of the horizon.

To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.】

【Direct Son of the Ming Dynasty】【】

Then several large transport ships docked, and war horses were sent to the dock one after another.

After a thousand war horses came ashore, all the warships returned to the deep water area on the sea.

On the pier, the officers and soldiers also packed their belongings one after another and fed the war horses beans mixed with fine salt. After completing all the preliminary preparations, the entire battalion of officers and soldiers began to march on wheels and disappeared deep into the territory of Jianchang City.

When the 1,000 people who landed completely disappeared from the sight of the fleet, the generals on the flagship silently looked at the emperor's grandson standing at the railing.

Zhu Yunxi clapped his hands and whispered: "The whole army goes south and goes straight to Qinghua City!"

……

Among the high mountains and ridges in the southern part of Guangxi Road, mountains and ravines have always become obstacles to local transportation.

With the courage of one pass, Zhennanguan blocked the enemies from the south to the south of Pingxiangzhou. Behind the pass was the land of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, the entire Zhennanguan army gathered, blocking the small valley so tightly that the rear army of the Southern Expedition stopped outside the small city of Pingxiangzhou.

Opposite Zhennanguan is Annan Langshan Pass, which is only a few dozen miles away in the southeast.

Langshan Pass is said to be a pass, but it is just a wooden village built on the mountain road behind Qiqiong River.

But the Qiqiong River was the real obstacle that blocked the Ming Dynasty from going south to Annan.

The north bank of Qiqiong River at this moment.

The house that originally belonged to the Annan people was already empty and occupied by the Ming army.

On the south bank of the Qiqiong River, two protruding positions facing north are guarded by many Annan soldiers. They are at the horns of each other to guard against possible attacks by the Ming army at any time.

On the south side of Lang Son, where the lower reaches of Qiqiong River can enter the mountain pass inside Annam, there are already more than ten thousand Annan soldiers gathered.

As long as the Ming army crosses the Qiqiong River, they can enter the hinterland of Annan unimpeded. With the power of 40,000 Ming troops, Annan is unstoppable.

"Your Highness, the general really wants us to cross the river and go straight to Langshan Pass?"

On the north bank of the lower reaches of the Qiqiong River, the battalion lieutenant colonel looked worriedly at the Annan people gathered on the other bank, and worriedly asked Ning Wang Zhu Quan, who was holding a telescope to watch the situation on the other bank.

Zhu Quan put down the telescope and looked back at his own 3,000 forward battalion.

Zhu Quan said solemnly: "Can we find a place for the general to cross the river?"

The captain shook his head: "My subordinates have sent several teams of scouts to search upstream and downstream of the Qiqiong River. Although there are several places where the general can lead his army to cross the river within fifty miles, there are Annan people stationed there.
