Chapter 271 The Invincible Ming Army(1/2)
Generals died in hundreds of battles, and their bodies were replaced by horse leather.
This is the highest goal pursued by countless soldiers throughout the ages. Of course, under this goal, the best result is to immediately become a marquis and rest with the country.
The prince who is in the army is just a member of this army.
Back then, even the King of Yan, Zhu Di, was just a member of the army, and then slowly gained the recognition and following of the frontier troops in Peiping.
Ning Wang Zhu Quan, who is only sixteen years old now, is a very good military commander.
The officers of the forward battalion of the Southern Expedition in the direction of Zhennanguan were all excited when they saw with their own eyes that King Ning Zhu Quan, who was the general of the forward battalion, took the lead and led the generals across the river to kill the south bank.
The water in Qiqiong River is very warm, probably because it is in the south.
The narrow entrance upstream was blocked bit by bit by officers and soldiers early this morning with rocks, so that they could now have the opportunity for Zhu Quan to wade towards the south bank with bare legs.
Zhu Quan couldn't remember why he was the first to rush to the south bank.
He only remembered that when his brothers returned to Beijing last year, he went to ask for advice on military formations and why he should be a general.
The fourth brother told him at that time that before he became the commander-in-chief of an army, even if he was a general, he should regard himself as the most ordinary soldier.
In every battle, the general must fight for the lead.
Only when the general takes the lead can he lead the entire army to bravely penetrate the enemy's military formation.
Only the Ming Dynasty will be victorious!
Zhu Quan, who had already rushed to the middle of the Qiqiong River, roared again.
The soldiers who were originally following him roared past him like tigers descending the mountain, blocked his way, and rushed towards the Annan people on the south bank who had been thrown into chaos by three consecutive days of gunpowder bombing.
More officers and soldiers of the forward battalion were also organized into groups, and the centurions had a warhead spread across the entire river. They showed a sense of order amidst the chaos, and fought towards the south bank one after another.
"The people of Ming Dynasty have crossed the river!"
"Damn Akito is coming!"
"Blow the drum quickly."
"A thousand people grow! Where do a thousand people grow?"
"Express report to the general to send troops to support the river bank."
On the south bank of the Qiqiong River, the Annan soldiers looked at the Ming army rushing towards the river in horror, and roared in fear.
Some people began to retreat, not daring to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Ming army.
But soon, groups of officers and soldiers from the Chinese Army arrived to support them, including generals from the army.
After the supervising team killed several people who retreated the fastest, the Annan soldiers on the river bank finally calmed down.
"Bow and arrow shooting!"
"Shield Soldiers! Shield Soldiers, quickly form a formation on the river embankment!"
"The spear battalion and the sword battalion form a formation!"
"Hold off the Ming people. Kill one person and get a reward, kill two people and get land, kill three people and get a promotion!"
Encouraged by the murderous war team and rewards for military exploits, the Annan soldiers on the south bank of the Qiqiong River finally began to organize military formations.
Countless arrows were freely thrown towards the bed of the Qiqiong River, where the water could only reach the calf, and towards the Ming army rushing ashore.
Ding ding ding.
The Annamite arrows began to work.
The sound of arrows hitting the fine scales was endless, making Zhu Quan feel that there was an invisible force swelling and rolling inside his body.
"Send the order, the trebuchets penetrate deep into the enemy's center."
"Go ashore and seize the embankment!"
On the way to the shore, Zhu Quan turned around and roared angrily at the messenger who had been following him.
The messenger immediately raised his shield and clasped it behind his back, turned around and ran back towards the north bank.
The river water is gradually turning red, which is the blood flowing from the Ming Dynasty soldiers who were injured by the arrows of the Annan people on the south bank.
Zhu Quan supported a soldier in front of him who was leaning back after being shot by an arrow, and looked back at the soldier following behind him, holding the general's flag.
"It's lifted!"
The flag soldiers nodded heavily and responded loudly: "The people are here and the flag is there!"
"Those who capture the flag, I, the King, come before me to ask for merit!"
Zhu Quan roared angrily, brandishing the long knife in his hand, and finally reached the south bank of Qiqiong River.
Sixteen-year-old Zhu Quan already has enough physical strength and body to participate in the collision of blood and flesh.
The soldiers in front of him were already fighting with the Annan soldiers on the river bank.
Just three thousand versus ten thousand.
The Ming army was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Zhu Quan looked back at the officers and soldiers of the forward battalion who were still in the river.
There are less than a thousand people left who have not yet disembarked.
Knowing what he knew, Zhu Quan rushed towards the Annan army formation that had been shattered by the impact.
After cutting down several Annan people one after another, Zhu Quan's eyes suddenly opened up, and endless mountains and flat valleys appeared in front of him.
Countless enemy battle flags filled the entire camp.
One of the tallest towers was erected in front of the Chinese military tent in the distance.
"Capture the flag!"
Zhu Quan, who had several arrows stuck in his fine scale armor, roared and sent the long knife in his hand into the chest of an Annan man in front of him, and immediately shouted loudly.
The blood on the blade slid down the edge and landed on his face.
But it made the young general look more powerful.
"The forward battalion has already crossed the river."
Ten miles downstream of Langshan Pass, General Chang Nan, Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Commandery, and Founding Duke Chang Sheng, dressed in military uniform, looked back upriver with calm eyes.
There was smoke everywhere, the sky was filled with thick smoke, and the sound of killing was loud.
The deputy general bowed and clasped his fists and said: "The battle has begun for a quarter of an hour, and no enemy troops have come to support us yet."
Chang Sheng smiled silently: "It seems that the forward battalion has dragged out the enemy troops."
The deputy general nodded, looked at the general, then turned around and raised his arms and shouted: "The army is crossing the river!"
"Get out!"
"The whole army marches out!"
"General Xuanwei's camp seizes the shore!"
"Seize Daluo and conquer Annan!"
More than 20,000 troops marched out from Zhennanguan and roared in unison.
On the other side, only a few hundred Annamites were on guard.
General Xuanwei's camp of the southern army only had a thousand men, but there were thousands of men and thousands of cavalry.
After the general's military order was issued, everyone came out in full force.
A shallow riverbed of tens of meters was passed under the hooves of horses in the blink of an eye.
The entire army, under the command of generals at all levels, still maintained a complete formation even when it was marching ashore.
As the general who conquered the south, Chang Sheng no longer had to personally lead troops to kill the enemy. After the front army and the left and right guards rushed to the south bank and killed all the Annan people on the opposite side, Chang Sheng led his central army camp.
Cross the river.

The war in front of him was not enough to cause ripples in Chang Sheng's heart.
The Ming Dynasty had more heroic and heroic wars in the far north.
That's where thousands of armies fight against each other.
If it weren't for the Annan Situ named Chen Yuandan who was too foolish and loyal, Chang Sheng thought that he would have led his army outside Daluo City in Annan by now.
Today's Ming Dynasty is unable to win every battle except when facing feuds from the Central Plains on the grasslands, but what about enemies in other places?
Ming Dynasty is invincible.
The Ming army is also invincible.
"Order General Xuanwei to drive to Langshan Pass as quickly as possible."
After Chang Sheng's imperial horse arrived on the south bank of Qiqiong River, he first ordered General Xuanwei, who had all the cavalry, to go to Langshan Pass.
He was a little worried about whether the young Prince Ning could control the young man's impulse to rush into battle and kill the enemy.
