Chapter 306: Peacock Flies Southeast
Yuanjiang is the Red River. The army had to march southwards and first reach Yuanjiang, and then go east along the Red River.
Zhu Gaoxu's troops were divided into five groups. Except for Wang Bin's vanguard, the rest of the troops were divided into four groups and marched forward one after another. Zhu Gaoxu led tens of thousands of people through Mengzi County, Lin'an Prefecture, and saw Yuanjiang within two days. It was already the beginning of July.
The road along the Yuanjiang River was relatively easy to travel, mostly rolling hills. However, when the weather was clear, you could see the shadows of mountains on both the north and south sides, and high mountains in the distance. The ancient river had already chosen a path for people without high mountains blocking it.
The weather in July was still hot, Zhu Gaoxu could not feel the breath of autumn, and it rained frequently. However, everyone was still in the territory of Yunnan Provincial Administration

Generals Wang Bin, Liu Ying and others led 40,000 infantry and cavalry and won a great victory at Phu Leng Pass (near Xuanhua Province), winning a battle that originally only required 10,000 troops.After Zhu Gaoxu led his troops through Fuling Pass, the world seemed to suddenly become clear.Woods, rice fields, villages and large tracts of farmland appeared before people's eyes. The flat plains and houses and people everywhere made Zhu Gaoxu believe that the Ming army had entered the heartland of Annan!The Ming army encountered neither powerful large-scale resistance nor small-scale guerrilla attacks along the way, and even entered the fertile hinterland of Annan, and it was still very easy and smooth. It was so smooth that people wondered if it was a treacherous plot!In early September, Wang Bin's troops under Zhu Gaoxu made another achievement, defeating the Annan army's Hu She troops who came to block them in a field battle. Zhu Gaoxu then led hi

Zhu Neng died of illness in the army. According to military law, Zhang Fu, the Marquis of Xincheng and the Right Deputy General of the Expedition to the Barbarians, immediately took temporary command of the Eastern Route Army of more than 100,000 troops and continued to march into the territory of Annan. In mid-September, Zhang Fu captured the Beijiang Prefecture and advanced to the north bank of the Dajiang (Red River).Soon after, the imperial edict from the court arrived at the front line by express horse, ordering Zhang Fu to officially command all the Ming troops in the Eastern Route.At this time, the two armies of the Ming army, totaling 300,000 soldiers and civilians, had completely advanced to the north bank of the river; the army was stationed in the east and west, facing the Annan army's thousand-mile defense line.When Zhang Fu arrived at Zhu Gaoxu's army with his cavalry guards, Zhu Gaoxu was preparing to besiege Muwanzhou City....Muwanzh

The feng shui of Muwanzhou is not good. It is located at the arch of a curved river, which can neither hide wind nor gather water. If it were on the south bank of the river and the city was built in the river bend, the feng shui would be much better... So now Muwanzhou is under siege by more than 100,000 people.The clear sky was already covered by a thick cloud of dust and smoke, as if the clouds were pressing down on the ground. In the hazy smoke, the roar of artillery fire flashed in all directions, with large cannons and muskets that flashed like stars.Zhu Gaoxu, riding a brown horse, was surrounded by a group of cavalrymen and crossed the battlefield in the smoke. He saw ladders set up everywhere outside the city wall, battering rams, artillery carts, and countless infantrymen advancing continuously. There were noises everywhere, shouts of killing, and screams.People were falling from the city walls all the time, including Ming soldiers who were shot

It was as if a river had burst its banks, and the muddy river water mixed with all kinds of debris rolled into the city; on the streets of Muwan Province, crazy crowds and war horses were running like a flood.The fleeing Annan soldiers were also running, and from time to time someone was knocked over or tripped, or shot and injured, and would soon be drowned in the crowd by the crazy Ming soldiers, and die without a complete body. A young Annan man was holding a musket in his hand, looking up and gasping for breath, running desperately with the crowd.After a while, he realized that the musket without ammunition was as useless as a stick. At this time, the generals and soldiers could no longer recognize each other and had no time to stop to reload and fight back. The young man thought the musket was unnecessary, so he threw it away and continued to run."Ah ah ah..." The person in front suddenly shouted, and everyone slowed down. The young man also hurriedl

The winding tributary (Duong River) flows into the river, and Thang Long is not far from the other side of the river.There were many bamboos growing on the river bank, and on the plains a little further away from the river bank, there were scattered forests, rice fields and villages. The scattered Ming soldiers were holding bows and crossbows, carefully searching in the woods. There must be Ming soldiers within five steps.Zhang Fu, the right deputy general of Pingyi, was at the edge of the woods. He used his scabbard to sweep away the weeds, walked to a tree, slapped the trunk with one hand, and looked up at the branches and leaves above.He needed to find suitable trees to build warships as soon as possible.Although Thang Long seemed to be within easy reach, the Annan army had already moved or burned the large ships on the river near Bac Giang Prefecture on the north bank of the river. The Annan army also deployed the main force of the navy on the

Wang Bin's vanguard troops built six floating bridges near the island in the middle of the river. More than 80 warships were deployed on the east side of the floating bridges to escort the Ming army's crossing of the river.The Ming army's temporary navy, relying only on dozens of captured Annan warships, was obviously not enough to resist the main force of the Annan navy. However, the Annan army did not mobilize the navy to counterattack in time.Scouts in Jiangbei reported that the enemy warships that had escaped from Muwan Prefecture were still retreating eastward; no Annan army fleet had been spotted yet.After receiving the military report, Zhang Fu's army of more than 100,000 responded very quickly. They had already moved camp and marched westward a few days ago and were approaching Muwan Prefecture.Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and thought that it was inevitable that the main force of the Ming army would cross the river from the floating bridge

In October, those who were in the capital of the Ming Dynasty would definitely feel the chill of winter. But on the plains of Annan, people don't feel cold even in the early morning, and can get by with just a single layer of clothing underneath their armor.The shadows of the tall black towers of Duobang City were vaguely visible in the haze. The mist in the air was so thick that it was hard to tell whether it was the moisture from the river last night or the heavy smoke from the gunpowder.On the city walls, artillery and muskets were flashing everywhere, and in the gray mist, rockets were flying all over the sky with black smoke. The deafening explosions had long drowned out the people's shouts, and the "buzzing..." sound between heaven and earth never stopped.The moat had long been blocked, and was divided into sections of stagnant water, filled with dead bodies, weapons, wheels, wheelbarrows, broken wood chips... the water was as turbid as the air at t
